1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports. Oh what is going on?

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: Good morning to you. I hope your.

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 2: Sunday is off to a fantastic start. We got lots

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 2: going on. We got college shops, we got the NBA,

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: we got the NFL, all kinds of goodies. This is

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: not a goodie. Lebron James strained groin exited early last night.

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: Lakers lost to the Celtics by ten and LBJ I

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: could be on the shelf for the better part of

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. I know it.

10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 3: I know it.

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: Well, it's not that serious.

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 2: That's a little bit of over the top right there.

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: Christopherfetter, trusted technical producer.

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: But I mean listen, our producer here, Jeff, good morning

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: to you, Jeff, good morning crack.

16
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: But our producer Patty Sweeka, he.

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: Said, Hey, maybe I want to reevaluate this Schwartz syndicate.

18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: Lakers play here and get with no nation in the

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: Lakers fade that that I'm not putting words in his mouth.

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: That's what he just said to me about a minute ago.

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: Good morning everyone. Look, the most important thing about last

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 3: night is Lebron survived a vicious attack from Jason Tatum's elbow,

23
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 3: and I'm glad that he is not seriously hurt from that.

24
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: We have to we have to make sure our stars

25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 3: are protected in the NBA. And that was that was

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: that was not fair to hit him like that. Uh

27
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: and and injure him in that way. Obviously, when a

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: superstar gets hurt, not great. But this back for the playoffs, right,

29
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: I think that's this is why you basically have a

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 3: Luca as you say, oh, oh, Lebron's out, Okay, well, Luca,

31
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: can you score forty sure? I mean, this is this

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 3: is the benefit of having that, you know, watching the

33
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: game last night from the Lakers perspective, obviously, the third

34
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: quarter wasn't great and the Celtics. That's what really good

35
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: teams do, right, they come out of halftime. And if

36
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: you look at sort of just trends of NBA of

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: good NBA teams the third quarter, the Warriors covered the

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: third quarter in playoff games like seventy five percent of

39
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 3: the time they came out of the they came out

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: of the half of just smoked teams. And then and

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 3: that's what good teams do. They can come out a halftime,

42
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: they talk things over, they come out and they just

43
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 3: put it on you, especially at home. Uh, and the Lakers.

44
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: You didn't play on the third quarter. But it's so

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: noticeable in the game where Lebron will will just go

46
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: hard for three offensive posessions of a row. He back

47
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 3: down Derek White early in that game, like three times

48
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: in a row, hit a fade away and they just

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 3: sort of stood off to the side. Let Luca do

50
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: the offense for the next seven possessions. Now Luca will

51
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: just have more of it on his own. So look,

52
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: of course, I uh, I worried about his health crack,

53
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: but I my opinion, the Lakers has not changed other

54
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: than obviously they dropped to the third seed now and

55
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: maybe they drop a little bit further and have a

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: tougher second round game against Oklahoma City or something. But

57
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: I'm I'm really unconcerned about if Lebron was back healthy.

58
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, guys. I think the NBA would love

59
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: to see Celtics Lakers finals. Everybody loved those like Magic

60
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 4: and Bird Finals in the eighties and Kobe and the

61
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: Big Three in the two thousands. The Celtics showed yesterday,

62
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: well they're still the favorite to win it all again.

63
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 4: Lebron's injury didn't look as bad. At least I didn't

64
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 4: think it looked as bad as it might be. But

65
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 4: you know, we actually don't know right now, so we'll

66
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: see how long he's going to be out for. What's

67
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 4: the official verdict this morning? Did they say he's going

68
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 4: to be out for any amount of time or no? Dated?

69
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

70
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 4: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, see what.

71
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: Happens day to day, but most likely a couple of weeks,

72
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: because why push it. You know they're gonna take the

73
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: cautious route. And like Jeff said, it's about getting ready

74
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: for the playoffs, so he'll ramp up just before the

75
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: playoffs and then go. But that's not good news. It's

76
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: as if his body was finally like, hey, wait a minute,

77
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: I'm old.

78
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: It took this long to finally figure out he's old.

79
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: But he's been tremendous for so long and play at

80
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: such a high level. So you do wonder how much

81
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: this sets him back, and how how long it's gonna

82
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: take to ramp up to the level he was at

83
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: before he got injured last night. Right, It's gonna take

84
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: a little bit of time. But I, I mean, I

85
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: this isn't like just a major setback or anything. We're

86
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: gonna get the Luca show in the meantime, because that

87
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 2: man will be putting up shots and numbers with Lebron

88
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: on the sideline for probably a couple of weeks.

89
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: And I think that's that's fine. I mean again, it's

90
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 3: just it's why you make these trades, right, because you

91
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: want to end up with a guy like Luca that

92
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 3: can do those things for you. And and so yeah,

93
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: we'll we'll look the Lakers. Obviously the third quarter was bad. Otherwise,

94
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: you know, you can't come out like that. I think

95
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 3: they scored twelve points a third quarter, fourteen It wasn't

96
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: a lot.

97
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got out scored, what was it, thirteen nine

98
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: to thirteen thirteen points.

99
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 3: You just can't have a thirteen point third quarter. That

100
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 3: reminds me of some of the other sports that I

101
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: have dabbled into the last couple of days, that just

102
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: the sometime you're just scoring as you're like that, you

103
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 3: gotta make that shot. You can't, you can't do that.

104
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: I will have a play, by the way, I think

105
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: in that sport coming up later. I'm for the parlay platter.

106
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 3: I'm going back and forth between what my bet will be.

107
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: Have you guys, gotten in on Missouri Valley Conference unders

108
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: right now because I know crack you had one of

109
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 3: them yesterday. Missouri Valley Conference has played ten games in

110
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 3: their conference tournament. Nine have gone under and by a

111
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 3: wide margin, like none of them are close. The first

112
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 3: one went way over, like one hundred and eighty points

113
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: were scored, the second one, I mean second, third, three, four. Guys,

114
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: these totals are opening and getting hit ten points. There

115
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: was one the other day open one sixty three and

116
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: a half, closed one fifty three and a half and

117
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: settled at one thirty nine. Wow, they are there. So

118
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 3: I'm I am all in on these small conference games today.

119
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: I cannot wait talk about all them with you guys.

120
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 3: It'd be a lot of fun.

121
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that that Drake Bradley game opened the one twenty

122
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: four down to about one nineteen, one nineteen and a

123
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: half at MGM And uh yeah, no there. It's amazing

124
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 4: some of these certain conferences. You picked one, Missouri Valley.

125
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 4: There you go. And I always say a lot of

126
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 4: these kids come out tight in these conference championships, but

127
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 4: that one that for those to move at that rate

128
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 4: at that number, no matter what, because the bookmaker already

129
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 4: knows people are going to be betting under on these

130
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 4: and they still didn't adjust them enough. It scares me

131
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 4: just to blindly do it on a Sunday here, but

132
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 4: on the one game. But we'll see.

133
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: I mean, Drake is three hundred and sixty fourth in country,

134
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 3: which is dead last in tempo. They're the slowest play

135
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: they play the slowest all of basketball. So like that

136
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: is like, why you look at this number and you're like, yeah,

137
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: I ate, So I bet the first eight. I was

138
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: seven to one. I laid off yesterday. I didn't bet

139
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 3: him yesterday because I missed. I missed number by five

140
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: points in one of the games. I'm just I'm just

141
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: not going to do it.

142
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 4: I can't miss a number by five. I can't miss

143
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 4: a game by five points. I can't miss a game

144
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: by one point.

145
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 3: Well I missed one by by eight and still hit

146
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 3: it crack. So I mean, like, the problem is you

147
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: they put these numbers up at midnight. I'm dead asleep.

148
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: I wake up at six thirty in the morning, and

149
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: it's like they moved eight points already. So but uh, yeah,

150
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: I think Drake is you go to Ken Palmer justin

151
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: tempo and number three, sixty four Drake twenty nine and

152
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: three on the season.

153
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 4: And it is.

154
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: It's the most beautiful thing.

155
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: If you're on the under and they're just going slow,

156
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: there's a guy they'll swing it. He's got an open

157
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: three if he wants it.

158
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 4: Nah.

159
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: No, we don't want that. We want to burn twenty

160
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: three more seconds off the shot clock and then get

161
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: a maybe a way.

162
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: Worse shot at the end.

163
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: Right there, that's how they roll, man, Like I actually

164
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: take one of my buddies.

165
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: I was on the over of one of these games.

166
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: What was it. It was the Murray State Bradley game,

167
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: and I said, hey, man, I think one thirty two

168
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: and a half is the way to go. And uh

169
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: it landed on one thirty two and I'm like, oh, dude,

170
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

171
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 4: Man.

172
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: He's like, I got one thirty one and a half.

173
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: We're good. So it was a barely barely over.

174
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: It was so funny because I was watching an earlier

175
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: game in that conference tournament and the commentators are like, Oh,

176
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: this Murray State Bradley game coming up, get the get

177
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: the calculators out, we're gonna have some scoring here. Boys,

178
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: Like I'm like, wow, what's the total one thirty two

179
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: and a half. Really, that's it and they had to

180
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: scratch and claw to get to one thirty two. So yeah,

181
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: it's the gift that keeps on giving these unders in

182
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 2: that conference tournament.

183
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: Uh, the the opposite of trick you to guest, guys,

184
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 3: number one team the country in tempo, who would you

185
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 3: who'd you go with?

186
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 4: Wow?

187
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 3: I don't think it's not hard. I feel like I

188
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 3: just think about yesterday teams Alabama, Alabama, there you go, yeah, yeah,

189
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: I want to see Alabama Drake play in the tournament. Now.

190
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: I gotta see this happen.

191
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: Clash of styles right there. How about that Bama win

192
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: though over time hold it out. Mark Sears a buzzer

193
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: beater and that was on the heels of the home

194
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: loss for Alabama against Auburn where Alabama shot five for

195
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: twenty six from three. Then they go into Auburn and

196
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: knock off the number one team. That was a great

197
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: performance by Alabama because if you're watching that game, there

198
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: were times where you know Auburn would go up in

199
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: the second half and you're like, okay, maybe they string

200
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: together a couple of buckets and it starts to get

201
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: away from Bama, and it just never did.

202
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: They stayed right there the whole time.

203
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 3: I gotta say I didn't put money on this game.

204
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: I was gonna take Auburn. But we've seen I think

205
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 3: the last week, like a bunch of these these favorites

206
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: are not covering, and some of these games is it's

207
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: March gets Marcher. We're upsets and and dogs covering these games.

208
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 3: And Bama just hasn't played good basketball relative to they

209
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: lost their they lost for their last six and every

210
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: game they win, it's got to be one eleven to

211
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 3: seventy three, ninety six, eighty three. I just I watched

212
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: them play against Florida, and it's just they can't get

213
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: a stop. Man, but they just can't get a stop

214
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: ninety The game was ninety nine ninety four, ninety nine

215
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: ninety four at home. Couldn't get stop to save their lives.

216
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 3: And that score actually is probably not indicative of how

217
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: the game went. I think I think Florida was up

218
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: in the double digits most of the second half of that game,

219
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: and Auburn has not played as well recently. It could

220
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 3: just be a little bit of just fatigue at the

221
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: end of the season. Certainly possible. Actually kind of curious

222
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 3: about them. Heading into the City Championship game SSC Championship

223
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: weekend next week, I thought there's no way Bama went

224
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: in this game, Brian, I thought there was no way.

225
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: But our voice had had Bama in a money line parlay.

226
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: That's how I knew that the Auburn a money line

227
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 3: parlay had they might lose both the money line parlays.

228
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: In the voices picks, yesterday lost as usual. It's the

229
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 3: most incredible thing of all time.

230
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: Jeff, How how's the voice storing this end this year?

231
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 3: And well, it's the last hard to follow every day. Yeah, yeah,

232
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 3: the last before yesterday it was about the last seven

233
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 3: days were like eighty percent. I couldn't believe it. I

234
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 3: was stunned. Now, yesterday I went back to what it

235
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 3: should be and I made a lot of money back,

236
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: but it was I was almost I was almost broke, guys.

237
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 3: If yesterday went eighty percent, I was wow, never going

238
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 3: to talk to you guys again. And so.

239
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 4: At like like twenty five thirty.

240
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 3: Picks, it was something like it was something like fifteen

241
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 3: and four, like the nast nineteen picks. The best thing

242
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: happening right now, by the way, and I know best, worst, whatever,

243
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: it's it's one of everythings. So there's a personality on barstool,

244
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: big cat. If you are on social media know he is. Yeah,

245
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: he shit fifteen straight wagers in March undefeated in March.

246
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 3: I went back and looked, it's eleven straight overs. I

247
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 3: think eleven and straight overs. Okay. And what's funny Crack

248
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 3: is is the last couple of wagers that he has made.

249
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 3: You have something you have sent over that as in

250
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 3: one of your official plays, yep. And I haven't wagered

251
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: on it because I'm like, there's just no there's there's

252
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 3: no way I can't do this where and I like Dan,

253
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 3: like Dan's wager over Crack has the same over. I'm

254
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: just not playing it.

255
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 4: I'm getting it off him. You don't realize it.

256
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure you are. And uh and he he

257
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: has hit the last two. I didn't play yours. I'm sorry.

258
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 3: I do this a whole time, and if I don't

259
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 3: play it, I obviously lose. But the best part is

260
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 3: yesterday he had Kentucky Missouri. They scored one hundred and

261
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 3: seven points the second half, wow thirty points in the

262
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 3: final two minutes and it went over yesterday and that today.

263
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 3: I can't wait for the overplay. I'm just I mean

264
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 3: to hit eleven straight overs.

265
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: Wow, that game at the end there, right, Man, that game.

266
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: The first half you're like, there's almost no way this

267
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: game is going over. And they had they had times

268
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: in the second half where the game was what you

269
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 2: thought it might be. Like, these are two of the

270
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: top seven scoring teams in the country and it's still

271
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: It took the foul game and some late buckets left

272
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: and right to get there, but man, somehow, some way

273
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: it got there. Good for him, though, fifteen straight that's

274
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: a great run.

275
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: It's awesome. I haven't fainted it yet. I don't know

276
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna hop in, but it feels like, you know,

277
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 3: if you wouldn't a match.

278
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 4: If there's a match with him in the voice, maybe.

279
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 3: No, yeah, But the thing about it is like he's

280
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: not serious is the wrong word, but he's not. He's

281
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 3: doing for entertainment purposes only sure, of course. It's just

282
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: like you know and he voice, she is doing it

283
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: I think for real, like really trying to like win

284
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 3: the wagers. Big Cat's just like throwing them out like

285
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 3: he's tweeting along with it, Like it's just more of

286
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 3: like a fun thing promoting the sports book that that

287
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 3: you know that they work with where you know, people

288
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 3: think if you're taking it seriously, you know, I'm going

289
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 3: to do that. But I can't wait see what over

290
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: he really? I hope it matches yours today. Crack. Yeah.

291
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 4: Let's just just real quick on on the Auburn game.

292
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 4: Auburn struck and second straight loss actually yesterday, so uh,

293
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 4: they still get a number one seed in the in

294
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: a weeks come out. But on the bright side, though

295
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 4: National Player of the Year candidate Room looked one hundred percent,

296
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 4: they scored thirty four. It will be just interesting to

297
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 4: see how motivated Auburn and some of these other SEC

298
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 4: teams are, you know, in the conference tournament. I talked

299
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 4: about this on a couple of shows this week in

300
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 4: New York. You know, I just don't know sometimes with

301
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 4: with these guys, like with the coach, these tournaments, these secs,

302
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 4: I mean, these conference tournaments, you just don't know how

303
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 4: they how they come out. Are they taking it serious? Uh?

304
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 4: For some of these teams that are like on the

305
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 4: or maybe not going to make it in It's like

306
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 4: a brand new season to them. So that's the reason

307
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 4: why sometimes you get some value on some of these

308
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 4: type of underdogs and stuff. So it should be interesting,

309
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 4: it should be fun. This is there. Listen, we all

310
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 4: know this is like one of the best times of

311
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 4: the year coming up the next two weeks, you know.

312
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 4: And I but back when I lived, when I lived

313
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: back East, I used to come to Vegas from March

314
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 4: Madness and it was the greatest thing. Used to come

315
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 4: out for a week and used to go come out

316
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 4: and put your towel at the pool and you know,

317
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 4: like like literally save that your your place out there,

318
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 4: going the sports book, put some newspapers down, puts reserved.

319
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 4: It was no problem at all. Now it's a total

320
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: money grab. There's no putting things down, and it's everything

321
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 4: is selling. I used to literally used to fly in.

322
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: I used to like, for some reason, I used to

323
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 4: like staying at Bally's. Bally's was a great location. Well

324
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 4: not for some reason. It was a great location back then.

325
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 4: I had five different sports books, five I can get

326
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 4: to within a ten minute walk. There was like Barbary Coast.

327
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 4: There was a place called Bourbon Street. There was of

328
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 4: course Balleys then there was like the Caesars brand, the

329
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 4: I mean, there was so many sports books you can

330
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 4: get to in a matter of minutes. This is before

331
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 4: the apps in Vegas, and it was a great, glorious time.

332
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 4: Now it's just all about the money those seats. Now,

333
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 4: people can't believe how much they're charging at the dinkiest, rinkiest,

334
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 4: terrible sports books. Bucket of bloods, smoke everywhere. Can't see

335
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 4: get the seats fifty bucks. I mean, there's no putting

336
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 4: a towel down, no putting nothing down anyway. Yeah, so

337
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 4: it's so different than what it was. And you know

338
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 4: what I got to tell you, it really gets a

339
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 4: lot of my guys upset. It gets a lot a

340
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 4: lot of my guys, you know, upset because you know,

341
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 4: we're used to the old days and you know, coming

342
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 4: in and getting pumped up for your games. And now

343
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 4: there's gambling across the country. So it might not be

344
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 4: as big as it used to be, but March Madness

345
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 4: is still a big time in Las Vegas.

346
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 2: We're looking forward to it, man, it'll be fantastic still.

347
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: Even though the towel, the towel heist, you know, you

348
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: can't do that anymore. That's the towel play.

349
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 3: The thing that the thing about it is that it's

350
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 3: it's it's day. It's like it's day sports. Like you're

351
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 3: like here, like at twelve o'clock on a Thursday, except

352
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 3: some days they they don't space them out very well

353
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 3: and it's like one game of twelve one eight of

354
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 3: them at seven o'clock you're like, you at them a

355
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 3: little better. It's the one time of the year we

356
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 3: had to figure out what truth Where True TV is at.

357
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 3: I think it's two forty six on Direct TV.

358
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: And you see all the commercials of like, oh wow,

359
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 2: these are the shows on this network.

360
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's it's uh, it's gonna be a lot

361
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 3: of fun. And I think, look, I think the tournament,

362
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 3: you know, I I for a long time I was

363
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 3: like Auburn and Duke those are two teams. And I

364
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 3: think now you look at Florida, you know, maybe at

365
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 3: Michigan State. I have a big I have a big

366
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 3: ten take guys. I'll lay on you guys at some point,

367
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 3: which is that I'm going to probably fade all of

368
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 3: them come next week. But like, I think there's more

369
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 3: teams now you put Houston there a big winn at

370
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 3: Baylor last night. I think there's more teams that can

371
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 3: win than I originally thought. I mean, look, if Alabama

372
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 3: hits a six game straight where they just play a

373
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 3: little tad bit of defense and gobs teams that they

374
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 3: can't shoot, maybe they can win at all. But there's

375
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 3: some teams I think that are rising.

376
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt.

377

Speaker 2: live bets, and so much more. All Right, So the

402
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: Raiders are out here making moves. They trade a third

403
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 2: round pick and they get quarterback Geno Smith from Seattle.

404
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 2: So crack, that's the new quarterback over there in the

405
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 2: desert in Vegas, and listen. It makes the Raiders better

406
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: than what they were, but it still doesn't make them good.

407
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: That's pretty much where they are, right.

408
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 4: This is big news here in Vegas. I mean, we

409
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 4: just didn't know who we were going to get. It

410
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 4: was it was, you know, we really wanted a couple

411
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 4: different quarterbacks. We didn't even this name really wasn't even

412
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 4: I thought he was going to get resigned. So this

413
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 4: was this is big, big news here in Vegas. It's

414
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 4: it's really hard for the Raiders to be worse than

415
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 4: last year. I think you probably said that they were

416
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 4: so terrible. I've never really been a I think me

417
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 4: and Jeff the first couple of years too, we were

418
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 4: just never really a big Geno Smith guy. But however,

419
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 4: he's a huge upgrade from this cast of misfit quarterbacks

420
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 4: that we had here in Vegas. And Gino now reunited

421
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 4: with Pete Carroll, so I like that they've had some

422
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 4: success together in Seattle. Obviously, isn't a long term fix

423
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 4: for the Raiders, but they should definitely be improved this year.

424
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 4: I'm really curious to see who they're going to draft now.

425
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 4: That's important with their first pick. Will they take the

426
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 4: flashy pick with Deon sanm the Sun or something more conservative?

427
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 4: And you know, I had a list of a couple

428
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 4: of guys that my my buddy sent me who he likes,

429
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 4: but he's hoping that they want someone He's a giant

430
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 4: rad lives and dies Raiders and he just was hoping

431
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 4: to get someone else, maybe On defense. Now, now, will

432
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 4: Gino sign a new deal with Vegas or is just

433
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 4: just a quick one year fix. I really don't even

434
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 4: know what we'll have to see, Jeff.

435
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be uh not a I mean

436
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: they're gonna I think they're gonna sign him to a

437
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 3: long term deal. Okay, this has been a fascinating off

438
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: season for NFL moves. And we get to the league

439
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 3: year starts Wednesday, and we'll get Monday, so that the

440
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 3: tampering period and we'll get deals announced. Everyone's being signed.

441
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: There's no fragance, like there's just no there's just if

442
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 3: you're if you're a team hoping to get better fregency,

443
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 3: there's slim pickings. But the quarterback market's interesting to me

444
00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 3: because number one, very clearly cam Ward from Miami Sederz

445
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 3: Hamers from Colorado are not the prospects we've seen in

446
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 3: other years. I'll give you many examples. The Giants try

447
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: to trade for Matt Stafford. They're picking third. Overall, they're

448
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 3: in a spot where they can have a quarterback. The

449
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 3: Tennessee Titans seems they're open for business, you know, like, hey,

450
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 3: come trade up to one, take cam Ward. We don't

451
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: want them. Whoa, whoa, We'll draft someone else. The Raiders

452
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: at six in a spot to draft a quarterback, presumably, No, no, no,

453
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 3: we want Geno Smith. Geno Smith. To Brian's point, it's

454
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: better than they've had. Who's he throwing the ball to

455
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 3: wide receiver? Who's protecting him? Yeah, I mean like a

456
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 3: draft Ashton Genty at six to run the football for them.

457
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: I mean, like there's all these other questions on their team.

458
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: Gino gives them better quarterback play, but for what they're

459
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 3: gonna pay him, he's not winning them super Bowls. It's

460
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 3: not even Probably they're not even a playoff team. Most

461
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: likely he wasn't a playoff team last year, and Seattle

462
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 3: probably was like, oh, we get rid of our mid

463
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 3: quarterback for someone else. Sign me up for that. Con

464
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 3: Seattle's sort of going through a roster rebuild ish, right,

465
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 3: they need better offensive lineman. DK Metcalf might be on

466
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 3: the move. They're like, yeah, we saw one year of

467
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 3: Gino this, we're out, we're done. We're creating a new offense.

468
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: So the Raiders can still draft a quarterback, absolutely, but

469
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 3: this feels to me like they've signaled we're out of

470
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 3: the quarterback market early in the draft. We're gonna just

471
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 3: draft who's ever available at six, who's good for us?

472
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 3: Gent D McMillan. Just someone out, an offensive lineman maybe

473
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: is at six that we like, a defensive line like,

474
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 3: plenty of options there. So the Dominoes now seem to

475
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 3: be Sam Darnold to the Seahawks. I think it sounds

476
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 3: like Aaron Rodgers to the Vikings, which is so funny

477
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: considering the Brett Faire thing. The Giants seemed to be

478
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 3: the one left standing with no quarterback. Still, I think

479
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 3: they trade to one. You can find some of the

480
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 3: some of those wagers right now where they were. It's

481
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 3: a who picks first. Overall, the Giants are about even

482
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 3: money with Tennessee on that. But I think the Giants

483
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 3: are so desperate for quarterback guys they're gonna move up

484
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: and you know, and make that happen. So yeah, I'm

485
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 3: I'm pretty curious about that. The Ben MGM just has

486
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 3: a couple of five props up, crack crack. Question for you, buddy, yo,

487
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 3: how can we force these sports books to put up

488
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 3: more draft props? I know they get killed by them.

489
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 3: I know that's why they don't do it, but like

490
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 3: five all we got five.

491
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 4: So three years ago, well three years ago when they start, well,

492
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 4: not that they started put them up.

493
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 3: They might have put them up like four years ago

494
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 3: to Ron Walker draft, right whatever.

495
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 4: Three years ago they got so buried by the way.

496
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 4: I had a great season that year. It's it's always

497
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 4: all about you know, reading and looking back into just

498
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 4: following beat reporters. And it was an unbelievable year. But

499
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 4: the limits were good too, a lot of the books,

500
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 4: but there was so many to Jeff's point, there was

501
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 4: so many different props. You know, guys to go to

502
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 4: certain teams, then over under what their position will be.

503
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 4: I mean they had guys that were one hundred and

504
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 4: twenty fifth over under what will they go? And it

505
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 4: was a really good draft for anyone with uh, let's

506
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 4: just say with information based on reading and Jeff's right,

507
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 4: it was easy pickings. Now the sports books are petrified,

508
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 4: all of them, petrified of people knowing too much, and

509
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 4: they only have a couple of them up in small limits.

510
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 3: It was I think it was the Travon Walker figure raft. Yeah,

511
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 3: because I had we I think everyone at the same information,

512
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 3: Like I got told a month beforehand, like Travon Walker

513
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 3: is the Jaguars guy I got, I got plus money

514
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 3: on him. I got plus money on on like like

515
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 3: three to one, I got three one on Hudgerson to

516
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 3: go second overall. I mean I second defensive lineman, Like

517
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 3: I load right on that, and yeah, I smacked. We

518
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 3: got the book and this year does feel like cam

519
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 3: Ward's going one overall right now. I bet MGM has

520
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 3: him at minus three fifty oh one overall. Travis Hunter's

521
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 3: play is nineteen hundred to one overall. He's the best

522
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 3: player in the draft.

523
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 4: Think about what Jeff just said. He bet second defense. Yeahlman,

524
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 4: they don't even have first defensive.

525
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 3: I bet, I bet, like, yeah, I bet exactness too.

526
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 3: I bet like I bet Jacksonville to Jacksonville to draft Walker,

527
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 3: the Lions to draft Hutchinson like I made a kill

528
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 3: and that. Yeah, I mean, look, I knew someone wh

529
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 3: knew the general manager. Like it was one of those

530
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 3: things where it just like it fell into place, and yeah,

531
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 3: that's why these numbers are not up. But Travis Hunter

532
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 3: guys nineteen to one right now, nineteen hundred to go

533
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 3: to first overall. He is the best player in this

534
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 3: draft like that feels like I might actually wager on

535
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 3: that it's not a bad value.

536
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 4: Bryan. At least I know now why they don't have

537
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 4: draft props up this. Jeff Shorts ruined.

538
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 3: It for everybody. Yeah, yeah, yeah, my offshore account I

539
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 3: had really really killed three years.

540
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 4: Ago, and now I know. I was wondering why. I'm

541
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 4: sure Short syndicate.

542
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 2: You know it doesn't bury us. All he uplifts us.

543
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: That would be Isaac Low and Brown. Huh, information beneath

544
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 2: your wings, right, information, singing voice from the heavens and

545
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: uh providing everything you need to know. With a smile

546
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 2: on his face.

547
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 6: That singing voice was courtesy of performance enhancing substances. I

548
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 6: will get back to my strength, though, which is sports,

549
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 6: and good morning fellas. We started the NBA on Saturday night,

550
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 6: where the Boston Celtics defeat at the Los Angeles Lakers

551
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 6: one eleven to one oh one, breaking the Lakers eight

552
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 6: game winning streak. However, Lebron James had to leave the

553
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 6: game in the fourth quarter with a left groin strain.

554
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 7: Not much obviously, we will day to day, look at

555
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 7: it each day to see if it gets better, and

556
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 7: then uh.

557
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 3: Take the proper measurements and see see what we need

558
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 3: to do that for.

559
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 6: No word yet on how many games James may have

560
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 6: to miss due to the injury.

561
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 3: Not two, not three, not so not sick, not den In.

562
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 6: A related story, I'm a horrible human being anyway. Elsewhere,

563
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 6: the Golden State Warriors, Sorry, Lebron, that was probably too soon. Elsewhere,

564
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 6: the Golden State Warriors defeated the Detroit Pistons one fifteen

565
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 6: to one ten. Golden State now on a four game

566
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 6: winning streak. They've won nine of ten NFL. On Saturday evening,

567
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 6: the Williamson County, Texas District Attorney told the Austin American

568
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 6: Statesman newspaper that his office has declined to press charges

569
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 6: against Kansas City Chiefs receiver Xavier Worthy, who was arrested

570
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 6: on Friday night on suspicion of felony assault. The Washington

Speaker 2: And yeah, how about that, fellows I Loo talking about

590
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 2: the Xavier Worthy situation. He was arrested on Friday night.

591
00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: There was an allegation of impeding the breathe or circulation

592
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: of a family member, a domestic violence issue. And then

593
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: we get worried that he's not going to be charged,

594
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 2: not going to be charged in this situation, and look,

595
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: man lawyered up obviously this is wild where according to

596
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 2: the attorneys for the player, the woman in the dispute,

597
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 2: she was asked to leave the residence, she scratched Worthy's face,

598
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: among other allegations, and the wide receiver told police, I

599
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: don't want to press charges. So a very different story

600
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: from the other side. It's like I was there. I

601
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: don't know what happened. I hope everything's good. All I

602
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: know is what's up with these chiefs wide receivers involved

603
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: in things they shouldn't be involved in. Where it's Rashid Rice,

604
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: it was Tyreek Hill when he was there. Now it's

605
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: the Savi'er Worthy. Some very talented players just got to

606
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,719
Speaker 2: make better decisions off the field.

607
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 3: So the Williamson County disfert attorney Sean Dick on Saturday

608
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 3: evening to The Statesman, the newspaper in Austin, after speaking

609
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: with multiple witnesses, his office is not accepting the case

610
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 3: at this time. So I'll just say this, if I

611
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 3: think this is the case everywhere. I know it's in Charlotte.

612
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: I know some police officers here if they show up

613
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: to domestic violent case, someone is going to jail, but

614
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 3: someone they can't leave without anyone going to jail, they

615
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 3: cannot leave the scene. Someone's going, man, woman, someone has

616
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: to go to jail. That's the that's the that's the law.

617
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 3: So again that doesn't mean they're gonna press charges, but

618
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,239
Speaker 3: someone's going to jail. And maybe that's what happened here

619
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: speculation of course, right, we don't know, but someone has

620
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 3: to go. And it sounds like the district attorney, you know,

621
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 3: saw enough that he didn't feel it was worth charging

622
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 3: worthy at the moment and probably feels like it's not

623
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 3: going to happen at this at this point. Look from

624
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 3: a football angle, I mean, the Chiefs were looking at

625
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 3: two wide receivers being suspended at the same time. Next

626
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 3: he said, I mean, all if it's coincidence of the

627
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 3: Hollywood Brown signed back like an hour before this news

628
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 3: came out, But Hollywood Brown came back to Kansas City

629
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 3: on a one year deal. Yeah, look where she Rice

630
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 3: will be suspended at some point this season.

631
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 8: You know.

632
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: It's the question with the Ray c Rice is interesting

633
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 3: because I'm curious what you guys think about this. So

634
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 3: he would have probably been suspended this season, but he

635
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 3: was hurt. He tours ACL on Week three or Week four.

636
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 3: I believe because the Chargers do they lessen his suspension

637
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: because he already missed most of a season, or they

638
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 3: still give him the max what they would have given

639
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 3: him and he misses another half of a season. I

640
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: don't know. I'm kind of curious to see how that

641
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: plays out, because he will surely be suspended for the

642
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 3: incident to happen on the highway there and then Worthy,

643
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 3: I guess, will not be suspended. Even though the NFL

644
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 3: does their own investigations, which I think sometimes I thought

645
00:32:54,280 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: us for years now they're not. They're not prosecutors, they're

646
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 3: not the district attorney, they're not detectives. Like doing their

647
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 3: own investigation, you don't have subpoena power, Like, how do

648
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 3: you do that and then have a different conclusion than

649
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 3: the law enforcement individuals who their job is. I know

650
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 3: it's not always perfect with law enforcement crack, but I

651
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 3: always found that the NFL doing their own investigations, coming

652
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 3: up with their own conclusions and suspending players with different

653
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 3: evidence than the law enforcement individuals in charge of doing

654
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: this have has always rub me the wrong way.

655
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 4: Sure, sure, look, you hate to see any off field

656
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 4: trouble for any guys, but It happens every year for

657
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 4: the Chief. You look at their wide receiver room next year.

658
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 4: Worthy is very important. Brings the burst of speed, explosive

659
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 4: this to the team. You just don't come across that,

660
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 4: you know, really in the NFL on an everyday basis,

661
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 4: they like you said, they signed Hollywood to a one

662
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 4: year deal. I think Renal Rice will be back. And

663
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 4: you know, I'll just tell you you hate to see.

664
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 4: I wonder if you're the coach, you know, you wonder

665
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 4: if he just can take the kids and sit him

666
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,479
Speaker 4: down and say, hey, this is your football career, this

667
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 4: is your life, this is your Like who do they

668
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 4: look up to? It? I think worth these twenty one

669
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 4: years old, Like who do you look up to in life?

670
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 4: That that you could you know, give him some kind

671
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 4: of a jeff that like, this is your team expertisto.

672
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 4: You know when we come when we come back from break,

673
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 4: you can even tell us what where do you think

674
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 4: they need to improve next year to get to the

675
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 4: top of the mountain. Offensively? The line got manhandled in

676
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. What do you think they can maybe improve?

677
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,959
Speaker 4: And also do you think Kelsey would be back next year?

678
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: Oh he's back.

679
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,560

Speaker 2: something you like.

711
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 4: Let's go to Oklahoma City. Let's go check Holbrom points

712
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 4: rebounds over twenty three and a half. Yes, he's coming

713
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 4: off an ankle injury, but he's supposed to be one

714
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 4: hundred percent healthy today. They will need him against Chokick.

715
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 4: And let me just tell you he should play twenty

716
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 4: five plus minutes. So he's went over that number twelve

717
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 4: or fourteen times this season when he plays twenty five

718
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 4: minutes or more over twenty three and a half points

719
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 4: rebounds by Holbram.

720
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 3: It's funny because I will give this pick later. I

721
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 3: like I like Joker to do have the same wager

722
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 3: on the other side. I think it points rebounds, usaid points,

723
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,280
Speaker 3: rebounds to rebounds, assist points and rebounds oh, I like rebounds.

724
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 3: Well we'll we'll, we'll, well, we'll talk about that a second.

725
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 3: All right, Oh, so many options, guys, I mean people,

726
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 3: let you guys choose what would you like hockey? Would

727
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 3: you like women's college basketball? Would you like men's college basketball?

728
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 3: Because Crack went with like a traditional number on this right,

729
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 3: like it's for that wager it is, where's he been

730
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 3: at here? It's you know, it's gonna be like minus

731
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 3: you know, one ten, minus one fifteen. How about this.

732
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do hockey. I'm taking the Capitals today. I'll

733
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 3: just I'll take them on the money line minus to

734
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 3: seventy five right now. One of the best teams in

735
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 3: all of hockey. But really, the Cracking guys who they're

736
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 3: playing today are zero to nine on the second half

737
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 3: of back to backs the season. The Crackers are not good.

738
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 3: They don't score a lot of goals. Uh, Washing Capitals

739
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 3: are number one in NHL and goal scoring. Just team

740
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 3: to win the game today, So minus two seventy five

741
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 3: Caps to win today. Puck drop, by the way, like

742
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 3: a very specific time. I think it's three thirty eight

743
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 3: pm Eastern, very specific puck drop today.

744
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,760
Speaker 2: That's like like the Toronto Blue Jays at seven oh seven,

745
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 2: yes time.

746
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, the symptoms Giants have done that recently. We're like

747
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 3: their first pitch is like six forty eight on the weekend,

748
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 3: on the weekdays.

749
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: All right, that's how they're getting down.

750
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna go to the big South over here

751
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 2: in the title game. Give me Winthrop and High Point.

752
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go over one sixty and a half. And

753
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 2: some of the both teams, some of their games are

754
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: way high scoring. And also if you look at bet MGM,

755
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: they have this little tool where you can see the

756
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 2: percentage of the bets, like which way it's favoring. Oftentimes

757
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 2: I like to go with the minority. You know, only

758
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 2: thirty percent is on the over, so I like that.

759
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 2: You're kind of fading the public a bit, if you will.

760
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: So both things combined, I'll go over one sixty and

761
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 2: a half. That's a high total in college basketball, right.

762
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 3: Definitely for a new for a new game too. That's right,

763
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 3: early early game.

764
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it.

765
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 2: We might need a like a Kentucky Missouri second half

766
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 2: right there, you know, get over, but it can't have

767
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 2: and someone's got to get in the eighties. I think

768
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 2: it will happen. So I'll take over one sixty and

769
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 2: a half for Winthrop and High Point. And so with

770
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 2: these three picks, it gets it close to four to one,

771
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: about three plus three eighty six, so close to four

772
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 2: to one. If you take three of our picks here

773
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 2: and combine everything there, you go.

774
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 3: Excited.

775
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 1: We were seventy five for the Caps sets.

776
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 3: Would it? Would it be better if you want you

777
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 3: want the puck line instead? You want to you want

778
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 3: a better part of No, No.

779
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 4: It's no, we're locked in. Yeah, second guess.

780
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well it was like, yes, I bet the puck

781
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 3: line too, but since the part, I figured we'd just

782
00:39:58,400 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 3: go straight for the win.

783
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: Too bad.

784
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 2: Tatum isn't playing today like what he did last night.

785
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: You liked the rebounds and assists. I took it, cleared it.

786
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet that last night. Every big game, I

787
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 3: take Tatum over rebounds and assists.

788
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a good play last night, all right?

789
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 2: Coming up next to see the MVP and the best

790
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 2: all around big ever. Oh, welcome in here, Happy Sunday

791
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 2: to you. I'm excited for this man NBA action. One

792
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 2: o'clock Eastern time here. We got the Nuggets at the

793
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 2: thunder and if you're all in on this MVP race,

794
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: this is the game for you, right This is Joker

795
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 2: against SGA, and those are the top two guys.

796
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: It's a runaway. It's down to those two. Listen.

797
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 2: I think you go back to what happened on Friday night,

798
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 2: Nicola Jokic posting the only thirty twenty twenty game in

799
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 2: NBA history. He had thirty one points, twenty two assists,

800
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 2: twenty one rebounds against the Suns in overtime. When you

801
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: can say this has never been done in the history

802
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 2: of the NBA before, that's pretty special. I think Jokis

803
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 2: should win the MVP. I know he isn't going to

804
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 2: win MVP because it's SGA's year. He's been a scoring machine,

805
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 2: tremendous defense, all of that, and there's voter fatigue.

806
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: This is what I think sucks. We saw a little

807
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: bit of this in the NFL.

808
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 2: You can't tell me if josh Allen had been the

809
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 2: two time MVP and Lamar Jackson had zero MVPs that

810
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is winning another mv it never would have happened.

811
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 2: And this is what we're seeing in the NBA. Jokis

812
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 2: is a three time MVP. He's not gonna be a

813
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 2: four time MVP, and that's unfortunate. He's putting up career numbers,

814
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 2: he's putting up numbers that we've never seen before in

815
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 2: NBA history, where he's gonna be top three in points, rebounds,

816
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 2: and assists, and he's.

817
00:41:58,480 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: Not gonna win it.

818
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 2: You can't tell me if if SGA had won three

819
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 2: MVPs and Jokic had yet to win one, that SGA

820
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: would win a fourth MVP this season. There's no chance

821
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 2: that would happen, and I hate that it plays out

822
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:14,479
Speaker 2: the way that it does.

823
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 3: Did I think this tweet was sent in our in

824
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 3: our group thread, but did you see the tweet where

825
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 3: someone said Jokic had two triple doubles? He basically he

826
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 3: had like eleven, ten and ten and then had another

827
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 3: triple double after that, which is which is kind of

828
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 3: incredible you think of it. Look, the MVP thing is

829
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 3: is always I think it's time we basically have two

830
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 3: awards in sports, MVP and best player, because they're often different. Right,

831
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,720
Speaker 3: if you want to say that the MVP is basically

832
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 3: the best player on the best team, which is what

833
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 3: we often equate that to, then yeah, I give it

834
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 3: to SJA, but the best player is Jokic. Like that,

835
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 3: those are two separate things. I think, you know, maybe

836
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 3: you can equate. The value is that if if Yoga

837
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 3: are off the Nuggets, they wouldn't be a playoff team.

838
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 3: I mean, surely, but maybe the same thing said for SGA.

839
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 3: I mean, look, these awards often don't go to the

840
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 3: best coach, best player, like it doesn't happen that way.

841
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 3: So you're right, Brian, Voter fatigue is real and they're

842
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 3: just not going to give it to him twelve years

843
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 3: in a row if he's the best player. I mean,

844
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 3: Lebron should have more MVPs too. It's just the same

845
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 3: way it goes, and they spread the wealth through This

846
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 3: game will be pretty fascinating to just sort of see.

847
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 3: To me, it's more about the Nuggets in my opinion,

848
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 3: where I think there's a lot more questions about them

849
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 3: than Oklahoma City. The question with Oklahoma City, We've talked

850
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 3: about this for weeks now, is youth right, is not

851
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 3: having done this before? Is can't you know when they're

852
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 3: in the postseason and they haven't had that experience before.

853
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 3: Is a team like Denver with their experience gonna outshine

854
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 3: Okay see and their seven point favorites today. Crack. As

855
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 3: you mentioned, you have Chet Holmgren, I have Yokich over

856
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 3: rebounds and assist. It's twenty two and a half I

857
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 3: got earlier today. I can check it again if if,

858
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 3: if the numbers move, but you know he's hit that.

859
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pull up right now. That number a lot

860
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 3: over the last I have it right here, guys. He

861
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 3: he has over his twenty five he averaged over his

862
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:29,760
Speaker 3: last twenty games, and the Thunder are twenty five rebounds,

863
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 3: assists by the way per game over his last twenty games,

864
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 3: and Thunder rate twenty fifth and defense against center. So

865
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 3: I just think that's a good good play here, rebounds

866
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:39,439
Speaker 3: and assists.

867
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 4: For yo kitch I gotcha got this? This Nuggets Thunder

868
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 4: game today could be a preview of the Western Conference finals.

869
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 4: Probably not, but yeah it could. Wait. Yeah, it has

870
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 4: the top two MVP candidates going head to head. And

871
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:55,720
Speaker 4: you're laughing about the Lakers.

872
00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah that's your team, Okay, Laker Jeff, you don't right, right.

873
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 4: Jokicic The thirty twenty twenty game earlier this week just

874
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 4: showed how skilled the big man really is. I'm not

875
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 4: sure there's ever been a better all around big man

876
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 4: ever to play the game in the NBA. Really, I mean,

877
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 4: he's got the physical dominance of Shack, He's got the

878
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 4: footwork and passing of like a Tim Duncan, and the

879
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 4: outside shooting of like Sabonis. I mean, uh, I really,

880
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,919
Speaker 4: I really think this this guy just I've never seen

881
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 4: like a full package like this guy before. He's truly

882
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 4: the total package. I just wanted to look at MGM

883
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 4: and so MGM bet MGM has Yeah, they're they're their

884
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 4: total is up to they have the highest total on

885
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 4: the board. It looks like to me he opened up

886
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 4: two forty two. They're up to two forty three and

887
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 4: a half. On this game, up to seven and a half. OKC, boy,

888
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 4: I tell you, I know that that's in games in general.

889
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 4: I'm looking across the board today, Memphis two nine, Milwaukee

890
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 4: to thirty eight. I understand games get this high, but

891
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 4: two forty three and a half bet MGM, that seems

892
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 4: like a lot of points. I cannot play over that

893
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 4: many points. But I'm not betting the under either. I'm

894
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 4: just saying this is a lot of points today. So

895
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 4: we'll see what happens.

896
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, it's interesting what you throw out there, crack, Like.

897
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 2: Is Jokic the most dominant all around big man that

898
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 2: we've ever seen? And listen, I would say offensively, yes,

899
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 2: like he all around. If you look at some of

900
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 2: the best bigs in the history of the NBA, their

901
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 2: assist totals are nowhere near where Jokic is in his career.

902
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 2: Yoki's playing ten years. Most of these guys aren't in

903
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 2: the threes, you know, like Shaq, Hakeem, David Robinson. Those

904
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 2: guys hadn't even averaged three assists per game. You have

905
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 2: to go to Kareem and Wilton Russell to get near

906
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 2: the fours, right, that sort of tory. Jokic is for

907
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 2: his career over seven assists per game, So offensively all around,

908
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: I think he's the most dominant. Now if you consider everything,

909
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 2: I would say no, I would say that's Kareem because defensively,

910
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 2: Jokic he's good, but he's not a shot blocker. He's

911
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: a lot like Karl Malone. Remember Carl Malone. He would

912
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 2: swat down at the ball a lot. He was really

913
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 2: good at forcing steels, like swatting down at the ball,

914
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 2: but he was never a shot blocker. Jokic averages point

915
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 2: seven blocks per game for his career. That's nothing like

916
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 2: these dominant big men. They're averaging two and a half

917
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 2: a team averaged over three blocks per game in his career.

918
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 2: So if you include defense, I would say no with

919
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 2: Jokic all around. But if it's just strictly offensively all around, yes,

920
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: there's no one that's been more dominant than him.

921
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 3: I just think it's a hard discussion to always have

922
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 3: over different eras of generations, right, because he is a

923
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 3: generation where a player like him grew up shooting three

924
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 3: pointers and grew up with a bigger offensive back. If

925
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 3: he played basketball twenty years ago, he'd be back to

926
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 3: the basket, you know, he'd be Shaq and Kareem and

927
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 3: all like. He'd be those guys. But he grew up

928
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 3: in an era where you know, big men shoot the

929
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 3: ball from three and they have an offensive back and

930
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,479
Speaker 3: I passed the ball more like. He's a big guy

931
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 3: that plays like a point guard, right, And so that

932
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 3: you just didn't have those players twenty thirty years ago

933
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 3: and now they do. So I think it's hard to compare.

934
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 3: I think Brian's right, like, you know, yeah, yeah, offensively,

935
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 3: But again, like what if what if Shaq played in

936
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 3: the era now, he probably wouldn't be He probably wouldn't

937
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 3: be back to the basket right, he'd be what Yo

938
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 3: getch is now. I don't think he's woldever be a

939
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 3: skill as a passer, but we don't know because he

940
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 3: played a different era. Remember, Shack in Orlando was not

941
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 3: the Shack in Los Angeles. He was a lot more

942
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 3: you know he So I'd say it's hard to make

943
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 3: those have those discussions. But yeah, if you just compare

944
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 3: with the players for what they are, he's the best

945
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 3: offensive big man ever. I mean there's no I'm not

946
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 3: even sure there's someone that you can question that now, Cracks,

947
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 3: I mean brindright. Defensively, I still think Shaq is the

948
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 3: most dominant big man. Physical domination Kareem, you know that

949
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 3: hook shots impossible to block, and what he did as

950
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 3: far as a champion in a winner can't be matched.

951
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 3: And I think if you were just to say best player,

952
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 3: you'd rate Kareem ahead of Jokic. But as far as

953
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 3: big men, yeah, absolutely assume. As far as an offensive scorer, yes,

954
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 3: and that's the hard part about every sport, right, comparing generations.

955
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 3: I do feel like we do that less and less

956
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 3: in football, that's the one where we just go generation

957
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 3: by generation. Baseball, it's like ridiculous to me that you

958
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 3: compare guys now to Babe Ruth, Like, what what are

959
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:54,439
Speaker 3: we doing on It's the impossible? Hey man, best hitting

960
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 3: season is nineteen twenty seven. You're like, what do we what? What?

961
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 4: What did?

962
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 3: It's not even the same sports, But I mean the

963
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 3: baseball stuff drives me crazy. I like it though. I

964
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 3: love baseball is my favorite sports. I love baseball. But

965
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 3: you listen to a broadcasting, they're like this picture man,

966
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 3: you know, since the oil canned through one hundred and

967
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 3: forty innings in a game. It's just like you're like,

968
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 3: what are we doing comparison?

969
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 4: Oh, you're right, so different back then too, Like there

970
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 4: was so much of a you know, pictures sometimes drew

971
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 4: back to back games one hundred years ago.

972
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 3: So, okay, Babe Ruth did not see Mason Miller. Okay,

973
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,879
Speaker 3: he didn't see Mason Miller. Okay, Like, let's be real,

974
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 3: he didn't see uh, you know any he didn't see

975
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 3: any of these guys now that they they average. I

976
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 3: mean some starters, right, Paul schemes to average like one

977
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 3: hundred and one. You know, I didn't see that Paul

978
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 3: Skins and he was when he was playing.

979
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. It's funny though, when we're talking about

980
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 2: Yo Kitchen. I like the Eras thing that you bring up, Jeff,

981
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 2: because if you look at some of the dominant centers

982
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 2: from vus Eras, it's kind of interesting to think about

983
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,479
Speaker 2: what would their game look like and how good would

984
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 2: they be if they played today, like doing what Jokic does,

985
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 2: like Patrick Ewing or you mentioned Shack. Can you imagine

986
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 2: Shaq shooting threes and dishing the rock like Jokic? Like,

987
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 2: they would have different styles, different games. You could play

988
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 2: the same game with Jokic in a previous era. I

989
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 2: still think greatness would find a way to be great.

990
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 2: It would just be a different version of that. But

991
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 2: to say, I'd say a guy like Kakim who played

992
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 2: in the Back to the Basket play in this era

993
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 2: absolutely special.

994
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 3: In this era, Ewing though, was sort of always a

995
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 3: bigger bill like Shack. Remember Shack got up and down

996
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 3: the court man, he was splating them in a court.

997
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 3: He was I think Shack could have played in this era.

998
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 3: Jakim certainly could have with how skilled he was around

999
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 3: the basket and you know his but Ewing, I don't know.

1000
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 3: Ewing has always been a bigger cat, right even to

1001
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 3: mean obviously when you're in college, you're not as thick

1002
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 3: as you are now. But oh absolutely yeah. I mean

1003
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 3: look to your point about you like he would figure

1004
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,919
Speaker 3: it out. When you're a great you figure it out.

1005
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 3: And so that's why the Aras thing is so hard

1006
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 3: to you know, it's so hard for me to do

1007
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 3: those discussions because it's not fair to everyone because they

1008
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 3: played different times.

1009
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,760
Speaker 1: You know what's cool, you would like this crack.

1010
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 2: I was thinking about Jokic in his game, and we

1011
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 2: talk about how you can't speed him up, right, he

1012
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 2: plays his speed and it's slower. It's a methodical type game,

1013
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 2: but his mind is so fast. If you just watch

1014
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 2: Jokic today, watch how fast his mind is like as

1015
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 2: a scorer, as a passer, it's just just like a quarterback,

1016
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 2: like a little bit of opening, a little bit of

1017
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 2: space and boom, the pass is right on the money.

1018
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 2: And he's also it's kind of like a boxing comparison

1019
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 2: where he's really like a counterpuncher because he'll wait. If

1020
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 2: you watch him, when he's about to score. Every now

1021
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 2: and then he'll just make a move and he'll go score,

1022
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 2: but he'll wait for the defender to make the first move.

1023
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 2: He's kind of like a Bernard Hopkins. Counterpuncher is really

1024
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 2: what he is as a basketball player. You just watch him.

1025
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 2: He'll wait for the big guy to kind of like

1026
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 2: move to the left and then he'll spin the other way.

1027
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:21,280
Speaker 2: He'll make moves off of your initial move. He's really

1028
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 2: good at that. And as slow as his game is,

1029
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,479
Speaker 2: his mind is so fast. I don't think he gets

1030
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 2: credit for that.

1031
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 4: That's a great point, it really is, And you're right,

1032
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 4: just like Hopkins did in the Ring, Bernard Hopkins was

1033
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 4: great at that. I've actually been with Bernard a couple

1034
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 4: times talking to him about things. I love boxing, you know,

1035
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 4: but uh, yeah, that's great. Go ahead, Jeff, I'm sorry.

1036
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 3: So I think that's I mean, his mind, you know,

1037
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 3: the mind of what like Lebron does. I mean, it's

1038
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 3: it's incredible, right, absolutely play just like watch him. I

1039
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 3: like watching him when they're when the ball someone else

1040
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 3: has the ball, Watch like watch where he stands, Watch

1041
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 3: where he moves, watch how these direct guys. And my

1042
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,439
Speaker 3: favorite part about him is just his absolute apathy toward

1043
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:07,359
Speaker 3: playing basketball, just like just like doesn't like it at all,

1044
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 3: just would would just would rather be home with his horses.

1045
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 3: It just happens to be the best player of the

1046
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 3: world and like not really of course he cares. Of

1047
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 3: course we saw it. You watch if you watched it

1048
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 3: was a quarter of gold. Was at the enme of it.

1049
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 3: The documentary on Netflix, Yeah, which was great, by if

1050
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 3: you watched it. Yet, Brian Well, I love too that

1051
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,240
Speaker 3: they that he Jokic has no part of it whatsoever. Serbia.

1052
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 3: They interview everyone but Jokic. He's only superstar in the

1053
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 3: entire show. Like they have Sja on there. They have

1054
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 3: bogged on, they have bogged on for for for Serbia. Obviously,

1055
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 3: Durant does a ton in the show, like they have

1056
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 3: all the USA players in there. They have Wemby and

1057
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 3: and Rudy, Gobert and Fournier and all those guys and

1058
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 3: and Uh and Batoon like all these guys for the

1059
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 3: French team. No Jokics whatsoever. But you can see in

1060
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 3: the locker room and in practice obviously how much he

1061
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 3: cares like they they're in the serbian locker room and

1062
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 3: in the serbian practice and whatnot. But it, uh, he

1063
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 3: just just just the outright like not looking or appearing

1064
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 3: to care very much and being this good is so

1065
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 3: funny to me. It is it drives old head It

1066
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 3: probably drives with old heads crazy.

1067
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's one of those deals.

1068
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 2: He was interviewed by Scott Van Pelt after the thirty

1069
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 2: twenty twenty game on Sports Center and SVP was like,

1070
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 2: this is the first time it's ever been done in

1071
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 2: the history of the NBA. How would you frame this performance?

1072
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 2: And he was just like, we didn't play good against

1073
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:39,439
Speaker 2: Sacramento the game before, and you know we won this one,

1074
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 2: so that's good.

1075
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: That was it.

1076
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 2: And SVP's like, are you that's it? That's this is

1077
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,879
Speaker 2: the first time it's ever been done. He's like, maybe

1078
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 2: when my career is over, I look back. I need

1079
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 2: the rest now, Like that's it. He doesn't care at all.

1080
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 2: He's not a self promoter, is right, And it's cool,

1081
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 2: Like it's cool, like I have no problem with Listen,

1082
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 2: if you score a touch down, you do this elaborate dance,

1083
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 2: that's fine. I'm cool with that, but there is something

1084
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 2: about like Barry Sanders handing the ball to the official.

1085
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 2: That's what Jokic is. Jokic is all about winning. He

1086
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 2: does not care about the limelight or the individual accolades.

1087
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 2: He doesn't care at all. And there's something cool about that.

1088
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 4: That's great. Oh, it's great, it really is. You're right,

1089
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 4: that's the way he takes it. And it's just and

1090
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 4: you know, being on being on a team that I

1091
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 4: guess not saying they don't have a spotlight on him,

1092
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 4: but it's not like being on the Lakers, and I

1093
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 4: always compare everything to the Lakers, So I guess maybe

1094
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:37,720
Speaker 4: that pressure is not on him, like a media pressure

1095
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 4: or nothing. Like Jeff said, he wants to go home

1096
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 4: and hang out with the horses. I mean, I love that.

1097
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 4: I love it.

1098
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 3: It's great.

1099
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 2: That's a good point, though, crack like he would hate

1100
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 2: it if it was sure constant.

1101
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 3: You know, he'd not play. He had not played New

1102
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 3: York and in Los Angeles. Yeah, it's just not and like, yeah,

1103
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 3: he's almost in the perfect position for him now. He

1104
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 3: might not win again in Denver. It might be one

1105
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 3: and done for him because he's not going to play

1106
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,240
Speaker 3: in a city that really will attract the free agents

1107
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 3: quite like other places will. But I think he's fine

1108
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 3: with that. He won his championship. Do you do he

1109
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 3: even attends is like Hall of Fame induction.

1110
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: I like him might be like, I'm just gonna stay home, like.

1111
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 3: I know t o obviously, like had a beef with

1112
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 3: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And do you remember

1113
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 3: he did his own induction and it's called it like

1114
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 3: a college but I just Jogas did it in Serbia

1115
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:29,919
Speaker 3: by himself, just.

1116
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't put it fast.

1117
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I can't wait to watch that today. Look,

1118
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 3: there's a lot of ball we got. We got no football,

1119
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 3: but we got we got ball. We got college basketball today,

1120
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, we got some championship games happening all

1121
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 3: throughout the day. My Ducks play today. Every time I

1122
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 3: watch him play, I start to finish, they lose, So

1123
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 3: I can't. I'm I'm figuring. I'm determined I should watch

1124
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 3: start to finish, just like.

1125
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,120

Speaker 2: Yes, we welcome in, Christian Cipolini, bet MGM Trading Manager.

1155
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Christian. You know, I was just

1156
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 2: thinking if this might be a dumb question. All right,

1157
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 2: let's start with that, Christian, But if you just give

1158
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 2: us an idea of where March Madness ranks among the

1159
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 2: other sporting events betting wise, Like, how do you break

1160
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 2: it down with say, the NFL playoffs, NBA all this

1161
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 2: other stuff. Where's the big dance as far as those

1162
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 2: other sports and playoff formats go?

1163
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, so a little interesting, just because it's like

1164
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 8: a tournament as a whole, as opposed to like, obviously

1165
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl is going to you know, do much

1166
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 8: bigger numbers thanchampionship game. But as a whole, uh it is,

1167
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 8: it does do great numbers. I would say, what ranks

1168
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 8: a lot lower though than a lot of the pro sports,

1169
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 8: if I were to grab like the entire MLB playoffs

1170
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 8: or the entire.

1171
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 9: NBA playoffs, but that first weekend is is crazy, and

1172
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 9: that first weekend alone is certainly going to take a

1173
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 9: lot more action than you know, any specific round of

1174
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 9: any playoffs.

1175
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 10: If that, If that.

1176
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 8: Makes sense, obviously NFL's gigs, that's that's always.

1177
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 10: The number one.

1178
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 3: Have you seen an uptick this week in some of

1179
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 3: the mid major conference tournaments? I mean there's a lot

1180
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 3: of trends in the Missouri Valley Conference for the Unders

1181
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 3: and you know a lot of these sort of you know,

1182
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 3: these these tournaments. I think there's there's value. Have you

1183
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 3: seen uptick this week in the in the mid major tournaments?

1184
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, we do. And to your point, yeah, the smart

1185
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 8: ones know that there's a ton of value in these tournaments.

1186
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 10: Uh.

1187
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 8: Seavus who joins you guys on Saturday, if he loves

1188
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 8: pricing up these conference tournaments.

1189
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 10: I think it's his favorite thing.

1190
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 8: So he likes putting up the Sunbelt and the Patriot League.

1191
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 10: So he's always on there.

1192
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 8: And we do take a good amount of action, especially

1193
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 8: this week, are you know, the past couple days and

1194
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 8: then into this week because the real college basketball fans

1195
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 8: know the conference tournament week is, you know, arguably maybe

1196
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 8: better than March Madness.

1197
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 4: Hey, buddy, Bill Krachenberger, let me ask you. I just

1198
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 4: heard you say something that actually surprised me.

1199
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 3: There.

1200
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 4: I thought that that first weekend of March Madness was

1201
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 4: bigger than MLB playoffs, bigger than than you're saying. It's

1202
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 4: actually not that Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday MLB playoffs will

1203
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 4: be bigger than that, or NBA playoffs even bigger than

1204
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 4: the March Madness. That first weekend.

1205
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 8: Over the tournament as a whole, I would argue that

1206
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,919
Speaker 8: first weekend is going to do a lot more than

1207
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 8: you know, a couple rounds.

1208
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 10: Of the NBA playoffs.

1209
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 8: But as a whole, then the major sports do kind

1210
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 8: of end up taking more as a whole of their

1211
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 8: entire playoffs versus the whole of the March Madness. But

1212
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 8: the first weekend is definitely obviously going to take a

1213
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 8: ton of money.

1214
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 4: And where does golf rank in that? In other words?

1215
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 4: I love maybe because I'm going to the Masters again

1216
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 4: this year. I love betting on the Masters, And does

1217
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 4: that rank up there also or not? Really?

1218
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 8: The major tournaments will like specifically the Masters. The Masters

1219
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 8: will will get up there. But because of the fact

1220
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 8: that it's like a you know, a one weekend tournament,

1221
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 8: it would be less than you know, that first weekend

1222
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 8: of March madness, gotcha?

1223
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 4: Gotcha?

1224
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 2: Okay, kind of a random day today, betting wise, Christian

1225
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 2: I would say, maybe you disagree, but is there anything

1226
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 2: that you need you need like, hey, we need the

1227
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 2: Winthrop high point under.

1228
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 1: Is there anything that you need here?

1229
01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, you're right, this is uh, we're kind of in

1230
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 8: the calm before this storm here at this conference tournament

1231
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 8: week is going to be a big one and this

1232
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 8: is kind of like you know, the last day of

1233
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 8: I guess I won't say meaningless basketball, but the real

1234
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 8: ones that mean something that these teams.

1235
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 10: Start, uh, you know, this week.

1236
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 8: So in the NBA, we'll want the Nuggets to at

1237
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 8: least cover versus the Thunder, and then outside of that,

1238
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 8: there's not any huge, huge games the rest of the.

1239
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 10: Day, uh.

1240
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 8: And then we'll want Michigan also to cover against Michigan

1241
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 8: State and college basketball is that early.

1242
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 10: Tip off game.

1243
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 8: And then again outside of that, you know that that

1244
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 8: seems to be the biggest one of the day over there.

1245
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 10: So, uh yeah, kind of a quiet day.

1246
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 8: So mostly we'll be hoping that some of these underdogs cover.

1247
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 3: As we get near the end of the college basketball season,

1248
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 3: I think we're seeing more teams emerge as potential players

1249
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 3: to win a championship. Are you seeing more money on

1250
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 3: Florida recently or maybe Saint John's or some some bigg

1251
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 3: nostalgia there or is it really just pretty much Duke

1252
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 3: in Auburn at the moment?

1253
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, So what saved this actually on Saint John's is

1254
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 8: the fact that you can't bet them in New York,

1255
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 8: So a lot of those home down fans can't actually

1256
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 8: go and bet on their team unless they want to

1257
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 8: cross over the bridge. So the fact that they're having

1258
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 8: a good season is actually a little bit helpful for.

1259
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 10: Us mentioning Florida.

1260
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 8: Florida is one of our more bet on teams, and

1261
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 8: they're actually of a realistic team our biggest liability, so

1262
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,439
Speaker 8: they've been taking a ton of action, and I guess

1263
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 8: just the fact of where their price point is, they

1264
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 8: end up being our biggest liability.

1265
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 10: Although Duke is the.

1266
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 8: Team's courts has taken the most bets.

1267
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 4: You know, Christian, It's funny you said, that made me

1268
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 4: bring brought me back to a couple of years ago

1269
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 4: when New York didn't have sports betting and my buddies

1270
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 4: from the Bronx would literally bike or even walk across

1271
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 4: the George Washington Bridge to the Jersey side to bet

1272
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 4: some stuff. And it just made me think of let

1273
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 4: me ask you, when will that rule? Do you think

1274
01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 4: that rule ever changes of not being able to bet

1275
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 4: on your own team and your own state. I mean,

1276
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 4: it seems pretty silly to me. Do you do you

1277
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 4: think that ever changes?

1278
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I know New Jersey was the one who started,

1279
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 8: and it was kind of that they had to make

1280
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 8: some concessions to basically get it on the ballot.

1281
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 10: And be able to be the first one that came legal,

1282
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 10: and that was I guess one of the things that's there.

1283
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 8: So it needs to be voted on at least in

1284
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 8: New Jersey to be able to get there. And you're

1285
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 8: gonna probably notice this as the conference tournament for as

1286
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 8: March Madus gets here is there's a few games with

1287
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 8: the Crdential Center this year and you can't bet on

1288
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 8: New Jersey teams.

1289
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 10: You can't playing in New Jersey.

1290
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 8: So when that Eliteate and six Sweet Fix teams gets there,

1291
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 8: there's gonna be some people in New Jersey that don't

1292
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 8: realize that they can't bet on whatever the two teams

1293
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 8: may be, or not even two New Jersey teams.

1294
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 10: So take a vote, And there.

1295
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 8: Was one a few years back that didn't get passed,

1296
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 8: so maybe other states would follow if New Jersey passes it.

1297
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 8: But we're just gonna be waiting. And it is a

1298
01:05:55,440 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 8: huge headache from our perspective, especially because if we want

1299
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 8: to do that region of the Elite eight, but if

1300
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 8: New Jersey teams in there, they can't be bet on,

1301
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 8: so we have to change.

1302
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 10: Our odds up. And it's a whole, the whole nightmare

1303
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 10: from our perspective.

1304
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 4: And a lot of kids don't have a lot a

1305
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 4: lot of the you know, I say kids under thirty

1306
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 4: crowd does didn't even know. They think something's wrong with

1307
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 4: their app. What's going on here? GM, They're going and

Speaker 3: Thanks to Christian.

1330
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 6: We're so far ahead in the race. Well, fellas, guess

1331
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 6: what we got some fresh NFL news on this Sunday morning,

1332
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 6: because NFL media reported a short time ago that the

1333
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 6: Buffalo Bills are releasing star pass rusher Von Miller to

1334
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 6: clear salary cap space, but both parties, the Bills and Miller,

1335
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 6: are open to him returning on Saturday evening. The Williamson County,

1336
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 6: Texas District attorney told the Austin American Statesman that his

1337
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 6: office has declined to press charges against Kansas City Chiefs

1338
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 6: receiver Xavier Worthy, who was arrested on Friday night on

1339
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 6: suspicion of felony assaults. In the NBA on Saturday night,

1340
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 6: the Boston Celtics beat the Los Angeles Lakers one eleven

1341
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 6: to one on one break in the Lakers eight game

1342
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 6: winning streak, Lebron James had to leave them in the

1343
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 6: fourth quarter with a left groin string.

1344
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 7: Look at it each day, see if it gets better,

1345
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 7: and then take the proper measurements and see, you see

1346
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 7: what we need to do going forward.

1347
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1348
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 7: Sit down and to right with Mike, and you figure

1349
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 7: out what the best guessing, your best case of playing

1350
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 7: is going, you know.

1351
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 2: Going forward.

1352
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 6: Finally, in college football, the Toledo Blade newspaper reported a

1353
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 6: short time ago that Bowling Green is hiring former NFL

1354
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 6: star running back Eddie George as its new head coach.

1355
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:31,759
Speaker 6: George spent the past five seasons as the head coach

1356
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:35,720
Speaker 6: at FCS Tennessee State, where last year they had a

1357
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 6: record of nine and four. A good job by the

1358
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 6: Toledo Blade beating its competitor, the Canton pocket Knife to

1359
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:45,639

01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,680
Speaker 4: Let's go with Anthony All right. Oh, I like that,

1381
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:50,519
Speaker 4: nice little splash. Yeah, let's go with Anthony Edwards Minnesota

1382
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 4: Timberwolves first to Spurs today. He's attempting over ten a game.

1383
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 4: This should be a fast paced game today. So I'm

1384
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 4: gonna go to Anthony Edwards today to have the most.

1385
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I like Damian Lillard. They're hosting the Calves.

1386
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 3: Lillard average three point five made three is a game

1387
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 3: which is near the top ten, and the Calves allow

1388
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 3: the second highest three point percentage to opposing point guards.

1389
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 3: So little at home against against the Caves.

1390
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 2: I like it. I like it. Okay. I'm gonna go

1391
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 2: with a splash brother for the Sunday splash jackpot. Give

1392
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:32,839
Speaker 2: me Klay Thompson.

1393
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 4: Right.

1394
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 2: The Suns they have a hard time. They have a

1395
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 2: hard time guarding you, Me and Jeff over there, crack,

1396
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 2: you know, the three of us. Their defense is freaking brutal.

1397
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 2: And listen, what are the MAVs. What's their offense look like?

1398
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 2: Minus Kyrie, minus Luke, It's gonna be Klay Thompson jacking

1399
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,599
Speaker 2: some threes a good amount of the time. So I'll

1400
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 2: take Klay Thompson to have a day here. He's had

1401
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:03,799
Speaker 2: days before. So maybe that'll that'll work out here today,

1402
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 2: we'll see a little bit of time here, Crack. So

1403
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 2: baseball is on your mind and you'll love this, dude, Jeff,

1404

Speaker 10: Yeah?

1409
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 4: I heard him say that. I was surprised earlier to

1410
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 4: good Man, I like it.

1411
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:20,639
Speaker 3: Is a kid as my favorite sports as a kid

1412
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 3: as I still like it a lot. I mean, I

1413
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 3: think football is number one. I sure, Lah, I like

1414
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 3: I will watch a lot of baseball. I very much

1415
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:34,639
Speaker 3: enjoy it. I'm I feel like I'm out. I feel

1416
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:38,799
Speaker 3: like I'm out of the the age group that's supposed

1417
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 3: to like baseball. I do still like baseball.

1418
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, Crack's got some He's got some strategies to

1419
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 2: share with us here, you know, like the MLB grind,

1420
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 2: betting it day to day. That'll be here pretty soon.

1421
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 2: So uh, anyway you want to go here, Crack, any

1422
01:11:55,800 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 2: strategies any like season long futures, teams that will disappoint surprise.

1423
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 2: What do you have for us here?

1424
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,760
Speaker 4: Yeah? And you know talking about that though, it's a

1425
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 4: lot a lot of history for me and my family,

1426
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 4: My grandfather, my great grandfather, you know, grew up diehard

1427
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 4: Yankee fans. Babe Ruth used to literally come over to

1428
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 4: perth Amboy, New Jersey, was like right across the bridge

1429
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 4: there and always there was a little field called Copper

1430
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 4: Works Field, And I remember my grandfather telling me great stories.

1431
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:29,679
Speaker 4: My grandfather was born in nineteen ten, but even even

1432
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 4: his dad taking him over there to watch the babe

1433
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 4: work out and so that was and have fun with

1434
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 4: the kids. He gave back a lot. Baby gave back

1435
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 4: a lot to the kids. So big Yankee fans growing

1436
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 4: up all together in our house. Even I was the

1437
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 4: guy that was the more of a Met fan, though

1438
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:47,559
Speaker 4: I was rooting for the Mets, that was always rooting

1439
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 4: for the underdog there. So when the sixty nine Mets

1440
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 4: is before me, but I still the miracle Mets in

1441
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 4: the eighty six Mets, boy, they were really special to me.

1442
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 4: But baseball's you know, become even one of my favorite

1443
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,639
Speaker 4: betting grinds. Believe it or not. I've had some really

1444
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:06,600
Speaker 4: good success in the past few seasons betting sides and

1445
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 4: totals every single day. You know how hard it is.

1446
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 3: You know.

1447
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 4: I remember one of the big sports books, one of

1448
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 4: the directors told me once. He's like, oh, man, do

1449
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 4: you know we can't wait for baseball. We can't wait

1450
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 4: for baseball season because we make more money on baseball

1451
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 4: than NFL. I was like, what how? And I'm not

1452
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:28,559
Speaker 4: thinking it's every day. You said the right word to grind.

1453
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 4: It's every single day. So you know, personally, I do

1454
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 4: a lot of like I said, size totals. By do

1455
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 4: some first five inning plays that's based on starting pitching.

1456
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 4: It doesn't take amazing Creskin to figure that out. I

1457
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:44,200
Speaker 4: play a lot of full game stuff too, though I've

1458
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 4: dabbled in some player prop markets, mostly pitcher props actually.

1459
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 4: But as far as teams go this season, boy, I

1460
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 4: hate to keep going back to this stack Dodger team

1461
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:57,799
Speaker 4: and I'll hire their season win total. It's hard to believe.

1462
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 4: I was trying to look out I'm on camera today.

1463
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 4: I was trying to look at bet MGM as I'm

1464
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 4: on the camera today. I mean, one hundred and four wins.

1465
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 4: I don't was there ever a team at this high

1466
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 4: of wins? Boy, But I do know some sharp guys

1467
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 4: that are on the over there. So both of the

1468
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 4: New York teams are supposed to be good. Their win

1469
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:20,599
Speaker 4: totals are set at like ninety one. I'd be real,

1470
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:23,960
Speaker 4: real blunt. Every year one of these two teams flop.

1471
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 4: So the Mets have big expectations this year, snagging big

1472
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 4: some big free agency offseason Soto and Pete Alonzo staying

1473
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 4: I mean, but do they have the pitching to win

1474
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,840
Speaker 4: ninety plus games? And I want to tell you same

1475
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:41,720
Speaker 4: thing for the Yankees. Yankees. Also the Yankees, same exact thing.

1476
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:47,760
Speaker 4: Yankees are Cole's hurt. Now a sharp action on the

1477
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 4: Royals under I seen there was a team that surprised

1478
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 4: everyone last year with eighty six wins at a playoff appearance,

1479
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 4: but they really haven't done too much to improve this

1480
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 4: offseason and set for some regression. So there's a little

1481
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 4: little looking of it right now.

1482
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:03,599
Speaker 2: Like it good stuff?

1483
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:06,680
Speaker 1: Anything on your list real quick here, Jeff Baseball.

1484
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:09,640
Speaker 3: Most yeah, I uh.

1485
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,639
Speaker 1: Backing the Cardinals this year's I did.

1486
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:14,799
Speaker 3: A Giants Dodgers or I guess there would be Dodgers

1487
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 3: Giants one two NLS at plus seven hundred. I gotta

1488
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 3: look at my way. I have some baseball stuff. I

1489
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:25,440
Speaker 3: took diningbacks under underwins.

1490
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,920
Speaker 2: Uh, here's one, here's one that's funny. You could take

1491
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 2: over under the longest winning streak of the season. Yeah,

1492
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:35,479
Speaker 2: so if it's at four and a half games for

1493
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:38,800
Speaker 2: both the White Sox and the Rockies. Can you see

1494
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:41,759
Speaker 2: either of those having a five game winning streak this season?

1495
01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 3: I will run back my White Sox fade every day

1496
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 3: until proven otherwise.

1497
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 1: Run there you go, there you go. You're back on

1498
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:52,640

1518
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 5: This prop it up player plays.

1519
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 2: A yes, the prop betting market. We start with you

1520
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 2: crack with some and you like.

1521
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 4: Let's go right to the big man. We're talking about

1522
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:06,320
Speaker 4: Jokick here to have a triple doubles minus a dollar

1523
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 4: ten playing the Thunder competitive game here. You know, they

1524
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 4: had literally had a triple double him both times that

1525
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:20,719
Speaker 4: he played this season, played in the season. So listen,

1526
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 4: I gotta tell you I hate such a square play.

1527
01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:28,600
Speaker 4: I know it sounds like common sense, but that's what

1528
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 4: I like today. I think that the Thunders is like

1529
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 4: bottom ten and rebounding and they should double joke. So

1530
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,599
Speaker 4: we'll have to see what happens here. All right, that's

1531
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:39,080
Speaker 4: my pick.

1532
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:43,800
Speaker 3: All right, all right, As I mentioned earlier, I'm gonna

1533
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:47,679
Speaker 3: pull up the player of combo stats, rebounds and assists.

1534
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 3: Joki's over twenty two zero point five in this game.

1535
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 3: I think that he will he will play well. As

1536
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 3: we mentioned throughout the show important game, and we'll get

1537
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 3: his best name moments. I like Organ's big man Nate

1538
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 3: Biddle to have over fourteen and a half points. Stay at Washington,

1539
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 3: good porn game for Oregon. It's a rivalry game. Washington stink, say,

1540
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 3: allow a ton of points and then only had seven

1541
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:15,519
Speaker 3: in this first game. It's Washington's not played terribly well

1542
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,600
Speaker 3: in that game. He is prone to foul trouble unfortunately.

1543
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 3: But when he is in there, Organ's very good. So

1544
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 3: I like Biddle there over And one thing I've been

1545
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:29,680
Speaker 3: doing for Capitals games much earlier, but Ov is a

1546
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 3: goal scorer. Did not score last game. You know he's

1547
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 3: chasing history right now. You can also, sorry, that's about

1548
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:39,320
Speaker 3: plus one hundred for goal scorer right now, actually pull up.

1549
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 3: Let me pull it up the actual number for you

1550
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 3: guys here anytime goal scorer plus one hundred for that

1551
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:48,599
Speaker 3: and then the other one. That's kind of fun, guys,

1552
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 3: last goal scorers plus seven hundred for Ov. That is

1553
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 3: a good wager because of the open net and let

1554
01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 3: a lot of the end of the Capitol's games where

1555
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 3: they're better than their team, they're winning the goalie polls,

1556
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 3: the other team polls are goalie Brian, and then Obie

1557
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:06,640
Speaker 3: has an open net to get some more goals. So

1558
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 3: last goal scorer plus seven hundred as well. Small, that's

1559
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 3: a sprinkle bet. Sprinkle bet on that.

1560
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 2: Ok, okay, sprinkle bets. I like that's got the peanut bets.

1561
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 1: You've got the sprinkle bets. I've got the link bets,

1562
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:19,879
Speaker 1: like the lint in your pockets.

1563
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah there you go, Yeah perfect, Yeah, sprinkle.

1564
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go a little crazy on you here. I'm

1565
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 2: looking at this Sun's MAVs game. As we know, the

1566
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:35,840
Speaker 2: MAVs are not tiarrors on the on the glass right now,

1567
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 2: like short most of their big men. I still though,

1568
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:42,639
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Kevin Durant under six and a half

1569
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 2: rebounds today. I'm gonna say, Nick Richards, Mason Plumley, they

1570
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 2: do most of the work here. Kd has gone over

1571
01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:54,639
Speaker 2: this number the last three games. He's played monster minutes,

1572
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 2: so he's gonna be on the court quite a bit.

1573
01:19:56,840 --> 01:20:00,960
Speaker 2: Good rebounder, you know, But this line just thinks to me,

1574
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:03,679
Speaker 2: I guess the team that can't rebound very well at all.

1575
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the overtime game. He just played forty six

1576
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:09,360
Speaker 2: minutes I'm gonna take under six and a half for

1577
01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:13,839
Speaker 2: KD on the rebounds here coming up next? Battle tested

1578
01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 2: or worn down? Oh? What is going on? Happy Sunday

1579
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 2: to you College basketball? The big dance right around the

1580
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 2: corner right now.

1581
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 4: We do have the.

1582
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 2: Conference tournaments, so that's fun leading up to March Madness.

1583
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 2: But when March Madness rolls around next week, we're gonna

1584
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 2: see from the SEC, We're gonna see a bunch of

1585
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:37,719
Speaker 2: teams in the tournament. We know that. Are we gonna

1586
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 2: see a bunch of SEC teams advance in the tournament?

1587
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:43,240
Speaker 1: Because it's a real question here.

1588
01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 2: These teams, they're certainly battle tested, but are they gonna

1589
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:52,599
Speaker 2: be a little bit weary right when the tournament rolls around?

1590
01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 2: You can see Auburn is a good example. Auburn is

1591
01:20:56,439 --> 01:21:00,800
Speaker 2: a team that's on fumes to an extent. Yeah, and

1592
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 2: it just it makes you wonder, what do you think.

1593
01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 2: Are you going to see the SEC flex it's muscled,

1594
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 2: they're battle tested, this is the premiere conference, or are

1595
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 2: you going to see them be a little bit worn

1596
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 2: down and not have the results that many expect them

1597
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:15,960
Speaker 2: to have.

1598
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:16,599
Speaker 1: What do you think?

1599
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 3: Jeff? So I know Albert's lost two in a row.

1600
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:23,960
Speaker 3: I think it would actually be best for them to

1601
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 3: lose the first game of this tournament and have a

1602
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 3: four or five or six days off, right, like they're

1603
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:30,840
Speaker 3: the one seed no matter what happens in this tournament. Now,

1604
01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:32,600
Speaker 3: of course, going to the tournament, losing three in a

1605
01:21:32,680 --> 01:21:35,840
Speaker 3: row is probably not a great feeling. But like grinding

1606
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:41,840
Speaker 3: away for four days to win a tournament when you're

1607
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 3: already a one seed and you're sort of on fumes,

1608
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 3: doesn't feel like great.

1609
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 4: Now.

1610
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:49,640
Speaker 3: Of course, Bruce Pearl's not going to go out and

1611
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 3: tell his team to lose. It's funny. I was listening

1612
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 3: to an interview with Rick Patino and he mentioned in

1613
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:00,880
Speaker 3: twenty thirteen with the Louisville team, they had won like

1614
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:02,679
Speaker 3: so many games in a row, they blew everyone out,

1615
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 3: but they lost in the conference tournament, and he secretly

1616
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 3: was really happy about it. He's like, we played hard,

1617
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:10,400
Speaker 3: but I was glad we lost as we needed to lose.

1618
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 3: We needed to feel that feeling before hitting the tournament. Now, again,

1619
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 3: all Burn's different because they've lost two in a row.

1620
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:17,720
Speaker 3: But the idea of like just when you're in a

1621
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 3: conference tournament, you don't have to do that to be

1622
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:22,680
Speaker 3: good in the in the NCAA tournament. In fact, I

1623
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:25,679
Speaker 3: think most times the teams that win those tournaments struggle

1624
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:27,800
Speaker 3: in the Big Dance because they play so many Again,

1625
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 3: it's it's you know, you play two games a week

1626
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 3: right now, that's four games or three games in a row,

1627
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:37,240
Speaker 3: like back to back. That you haven't done that since tournament,

1628
01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 3: since November, right when you played all those pre peace

1629
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:41,800
Speaker 3: and tournaments. It's a lot on the body. So this

1630
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:45,720
Speaker 3: seems really interesting to me because I think Florida is

1631
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 3: really good, they have a chance, they have a chance.

1632
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 3: Tennessee's untrustworthy because Rick Barnes always stinks in the postseason.

1633
01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 3: All Burn's really good. But they're tired. As we mentioned

1634
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 3: A and M's and I don't know much what A

1635
01:22:58,200 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 3: and M they They just they sort of wouldn't a

1636
01:22:59,880 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 3: lot of games though, right they beat Auburn, they won

1637
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:05,759
Speaker 3: the beat LSU. Ysterdady cover against LSU, and Alabama plays

1638
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 3: no defense. So I don't know, Brian, I am if

1639
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 3: I'll put this way, one and a half SEC teams

1640
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:20,400
Speaker 3: in the final four over under guys.

1641
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:22,920
Speaker 1: In the final four.

1642
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, can we get two of them in. There's basically

1643
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 2: what you're asking. Yeah, wow, with everything you rattled off

1644
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:35,679
Speaker 2: right there, Gosh, take the under.

1645
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:38,040
Speaker 3: I would take the under two. But it's it's mostly

1646
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:40,519
Speaker 3: because the tournament is just such an unknown. Like again,

1647
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:45,719
Speaker 3: what if Bama goes up against essentially like four teams

1648
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:48,800
Speaker 3: that are a little subpar and offense, they could be

1649
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:51,439
Speaker 3: a Final four team, right, But they run up against

1650
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 3: a team that makes thirteen three is a game and

1651
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:57,680
Speaker 3: they hit eighteen in a game. They're out right. So

1652
01:23:57,920 --> 01:23:59,599
Speaker 3: that's why the tournament makes it's so fun.

1653
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 4: Crack Yeah, No, I think it benefits these SEC teams

1654
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 4: to play this tough competition all season long. You know,

1655
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 4: they're all battle tested and they have been playing against

1656
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:12,880
Speaker 4: tournament caliber teams every week. I would not be surprised

1657
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:16,559
Speaker 4: if the SEC got six seven teams into the Sweet sixteen,

1658
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:21,240
Speaker 4: uh and as many as three teams in the Final four.

1659
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:24,280
Speaker 4: Maybe I don't know that sounds even here. You go,

1660
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,840
Speaker 4: I'll check raise you, but you know it's gonna it's

1661
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:31,719
Speaker 4: gonna be tough. Though. I understand Auburn, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee

1662
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 4: that all have what it takes to win it all.

1663
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 4: But there are some great teams outside the SEC that

1664
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 4: that have legitimate chances. You said Patino or talked about

1665
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:41,839
Speaker 4: him just recently.

1666
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 3: I don't buy Saint John's by the way, No.

1667
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:46,439
Speaker 4: I know you. I remember last week you were still

1668
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:47,679
Speaker 4: saying that, Yeah.

1669
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 3: They don't make enough, they don't shoot well enough, they

1670
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 3: make no threes. Like I think it does matter in.

1671
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 4: Today's They've been playing on an elite level this year though,

1672
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:57,120
Speaker 4: But I just.

1673
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:59,639
Speaker 3: Think it's hard and maybe in these in these gyms

1674
01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:03,120
Speaker 3: that are weird and right football stadiums that not making three.

1675
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 3: And look, the Louisville team that he won with the

1676
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:07,680
Speaker 3: thirteen did make threes either, So I mean you can

1677
01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:10,439
Speaker 3: certainly win that way. I just think now it feels difficult.

1678
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:13,559
Speaker 3: If you get behind in a game, you know you

1679
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 3: can't shoot your way back into it. You know, it

1680
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 3: feels feels hard. But you say John's con certainly great story.

1681
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:19,680
Speaker 3: I just don't see him keeping I.

1682
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 4: Love those great stories, I really do. I guess I'm

1683
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 4: always looking for and I'm not gonna call him Cinderella,

1684
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 4: but I'm always looking for well, I.

1685
01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 3: Mean, they have him in this position to start the season. Yeah,

1686
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:32,479
Speaker 3: I am gonna do two things in the tournament. I

1687
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:38,320
Speaker 3: feel like already the ACC wins over expected in the

1688
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 3: last like ten years, and the tournament has been great.

1689
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 3: A SEC plays much better on the tournament now part

1690
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:44,360
Speaker 3: of the NZ State and whatnot. But like they they're

1691
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:47,360
Speaker 3: much better tournament than expected. I'm not curious in that.

1692
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 3: The second thing I'm gonna do, guys, it's my first

1693
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:51,800
Speaker 3: year watching Big Ten basketball.

1694
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 1: Okay, as an organ fans, welcome to the Big Ten.

1695
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:57,160
Speaker 4: Uh.

1696
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:01,839
Speaker 3: I'm fading all those teams, all of them except maybe

1697
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 3: maybe maybe three. Michigan State plays really good defense second

1698
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 3: half of games. They're fantastic. They suffocate teams. But I

1699
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 3: see why the Big Ten struggles in the in the tournaments.

1700
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:17,600
Speaker 3: It's because offensively, it is a boring conference outside of

1701
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 3: Wisconsin Illinois. When they're on, they weren't on. Well, I

1702
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:22,679
Speaker 3: guess they were on. They came back the second half,

1703
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 3: They'd be pretty right. They came back then one by eight,

1704
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 3: I think in that game, right, they came back in

1705
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 3: that game. Oregon can play a little bit of offense,

1706
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 3: but they have five minutes stretches where they scored no

1707
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:33,680
Speaker 3: points every single game. It's it's actually quite remarkable. I

1708
01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:36,759
Speaker 3: think leave the country in most minutes, not it's actually

1709
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:39,240
Speaker 3: not actually scoring in a row. And in the beginning

1710
01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 3: game it's it's remark they'll have it today. They won't

1711
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 3: score for seven minutes at a time. It's it's remarkable.

1712
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 3: But like Michigan, I'm gonna wager against Michigan in their

1713
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 3: first two game. They're not making have the first weekend.

1714
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 3: There's just no chance. These teams just are not good

1715
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 3: enough offensively. You watch their games and you're like, when

1716
01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 3: they have these these these droughts where they don't score,

1717
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 3: it's like, go to the basket and get foul. But

1718
01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 3: they don't go to the basket. They don't make aggressive

1719
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 3: offensive plays, they don't shoot a lot of foul shows.

1720
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:08,280
Speaker 3: Do you watch to see the other day Florida Alabama

1721
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:12,080
Speaker 3: was on at the same time as Michigan. Michigan played

1722
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:15,240
Speaker 3: last Saturday. Someone in the national TV and Maryland I

1723
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 3: think it was Maryland. They're on the same time and

1724
01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 3: look at two different sports. Wow, I'm just I'm out

1725
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 3: in the big ten in the tournament. I see why

1726
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 3: they struggle in the tournament. Absolutely see it.

1727
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 4: Huh okay, and listen, we've seen what Duke's been doing

1728
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 4: all the year. I gotta tell you, this should be

1729
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 4: a really awesome NCAA tourner. Looking I'm looking forward to it.

1730
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 4: As far as the bubble teams go, though, yesterday's Arkansas

1731
01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:40,200
Speaker 4: Georgia helped out with their causes with big wins in

1732
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:47,360
Speaker 4: the SEC. However, North Carolina North Carolina, they hung tough

1733
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:49,840
Speaker 4: with Duke for most of the game, but just got

1734
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 4: worn down and maybe the best by the best team

1735
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 4: in the country. Really, I still think UNC is in

1736
01:27:56,920 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 4: though based on how they played the last I don't

1737
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 4: think they got that last month of the season.

1738
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:07,519
Speaker 3: So you have we So the ACC's got Duke, Clemson

1739
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 3: SMU right, even though I lost yesterday, I think smbn

1740
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 3: W losing yesterday. Here's what it depends on, is that

1741
01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:18,200
Speaker 3: how do the mid major conferences go? Because if there's

1742
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:20,400
Speaker 3: there are a couple of teams that are like that

1743
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:24,679
Speaker 3: are in win or lose. The mid major teams, right,

1744
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 3: if they lose their conference championship game, then the champion

1745
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 3: has to be in and they and then they get

1746
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 3: in and there they're bid Steelers. Right, So then this

1747
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:36,200
Speaker 3: unc Ohio State who's on the bubble but lost Indiana yesterday,

1748
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 3: Oklahoma Oklahoma being in the tournament feels wrong, but it

1749
01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:43,280
Speaker 3: is what it is right that they bid steal right,

1750
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:45,400
Speaker 3: so that like like that the Drake game day, Drake

1751
01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 3: loses today, are they in as automatic as a as a.

1752
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 2: The beauty of it, it's the beauty and the the

1753
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 2: maddening thing about it, because North Carolina is a good

1754
01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 2: example that all these Quad one games, they don't win

1755
01:28:59,280 --> 01:28:59,840
Speaker 2: any of them.

1756
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 1: You know that the record sucks.

1757
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 2: Against good teams, but it's like then a mid major,

1758
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 2: it's like, well, you haven't played those good teams either.

1759
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:10,639
Speaker 1: How do we know how we know you do better

1760
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 1: than North Carolina? We don't know.

1761
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 2: We're taking an estimated gas and you have to compare

1762
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:18,639
Speaker 2: resumes that are vastly different. All I know is North

1763
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:20,640
Speaker 2: Carolina they're gonna have to have a deep run in

1764
01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:23,840
Speaker 2: the ACC tournament to sniff the NCAA tournament because they

1765
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:26,920
Speaker 2: just don't have their credentials right now. And they hung

1766
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 2: with Duke until they weren't hanging with him anymore, you know,

1767
01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:33,759
Speaker 2: and they had to get that game and they just didn't.

1768
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:37,080
Speaker 2: So they're odds they're less than fifty percent to get

1769
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:40,320
Speaker 2: in there. They're probably in the thirty five ish percent

1770
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:44,800
Speaker 2: bracket to get into the tournament because they haven't had

1771
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:47,000
Speaker 2: those quality wins throughout the season. Why would you think

1772
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:49,840
Speaker 2: they're gonna string them together in the ACC tournament. You know,

1773
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:51,439
Speaker 2: I'm not betting on that happening.

1774
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 3: I this is I have so I have the take

1775
01:29:56,240 --> 01:30:00,040
Speaker 3: in the college football world where I think that it

1776
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:03,360
Speaker 3: should not be a participation tournament and these smaller schools

1777
01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 3: should never get in the postseason. I'm very elitist, but

1778
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:11,479
Speaker 3: for college basketball, I would much rather see if we're

1779
01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 3: picking seventy two teams in this freaking thing that like

1780
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:18,360
Speaker 3: team seventy one is a mid major than the twelfth

1781
01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:23,040
Speaker 3: best SEC team, like like like as Oklahoma better than

1782
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:27,720
Speaker 3: Let's use Drake for example, better than Drake. Probably I

1783
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 3: think that beat him. But who cares. I don't want,

1784
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:32,439
Speaker 3: I don't I don't care. I've put Drake, Like, let

1785
01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:34,400
Speaker 3: Drake have fun in the tournament, you know what I mean? Like,

1786
01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:37,760
Speaker 3: let like that's what Oklahom's not winning the tournament, right,

1787
01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:39,920
Speaker 3: So why why bother putting them in? Just to say

1788
01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:41,920
Speaker 3: you put in another SEC team and like, give me,

1789
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 3: give me the Indiana State. Last year I was left out,

1790
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:46,840
Speaker 3: like give me those teams, let them let him go

1791
01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:47,400
Speaker 3: to the dance.

1792
01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:49,680
Speaker 2: I don't an issue with that.

1793
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:53,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm friends with I was just with them. Actually

1794
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:56,680
Speaker 4: in Connecticut. One of the best college basketball handicappers in

1795
01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:59,720
Speaker 4: the world worked for Billy Walters for over a decade,

1796
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:04,439
Speaker 4: Alan Boston, and he just rips apart the committee and

1797
01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:07,960
Speaker 4: every year for the mid majors, and he's like Indiana State,

1798
01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:11,559
Speaker 4: like it's it's it's got to be a tough job,

1799
01:31:12,160 --> 01:31:15,000
Speaker 4: you know, on these guys. But but a guy like

1800
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:18,400
Speaker 4: Boston who is so enamored, he does his own he's

1801
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:24,760
Speaker 4: old fashioned, literally from scratch with tablets on each team handicapper,

1802
01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:27,920
Speaker 4: and you know, it's got to be a tough But

1803
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:31,400
Speaker 4: he is really tough on there on this committee and says,

1804
01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:34,120
Speaker 4: how these kids get screwed every year and it's a

1805
01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:36,640
Speaker 4: tough job though. It's so tough selections.

1806
01:31:36,479 --> 01:31:37,200
Speaker 1: That I really do.

1807
01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:39,759
Speaker 2: I get both sides of the argument, because let's say

1808
01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:44,719
Speaker 2: you're Oklahoma and you sit there with your bad conference

1809
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:47,400
Speaker 2: record and you're like, we would kill to have Drake's

1810
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:50,960
Speaker 2: schedule right now, Do you realize what we've played and

1811
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 2: what we faced this year?

1812
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:52,639
Speaker 4: Right?

1813
01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:55,680
Speaker 2: Like, so I get both sides of that where to

1814
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:58,600
Speaker 2: your point, Jeff, it's one of these where we know

1815
01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:02,720
Speaker 2: Oklahoma or or we know North Carolina that when they're

1816
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:06,000
Speaker 2: playing the big boys, that they're not fair. Yeah, we

1817
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:08,519
Speaker 2: don't know how Drake or one of those mid majors

1818
01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:11,760
Speaker 2: would have done facing the same gauntlet, but they might

1819
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:12,439
Speaker 2: not do anybody.

1820
01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:15,679
Speaker 3: But they have different players though, right, So it's unfair

1821
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:18,639
Speaker 3: to do that because Drake has has whatever I don't

1822
01:32:18,720 --> 01:32:22,320
Speaker 3: know what conference, Missouri Valley, the Missouri Valley players, Oklah,

1823
01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:25,519
Speaker 3: let's see players and you can't. To me, you just can't.

1824
01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:27,519
Speaker 3: You got to compare them with the schedules they play.

1825
01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:30,200
Speaker 3: But understand that neither are going to win a tournament,

1826
01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:34,400
Speaker 3: but that Drake not deserves to be in. But they

1827
01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:37,879
Speaker 3: handled their schedule better relative than Oklahoma their schedule.

1828
01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:38,880
Speaker 1: I get that.

1829
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 2: I just see the other side of that.

1830
01:32:41,160 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 1: That's right. It's we know that you know, resume or resume.

1831
01:32:47,240 --> 01:32:50,240
Speaker 2: You can argue Drake's resume is better than say Oklahoma

1832
01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 2: or North Carolina. Absolutely, I just wonder if you want

1833
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:57,320
Speaker 2: them in the tournament facing the same teams, right, Like, Yeah,

1834
01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:59,960
Speaker 2: at some point, who you played and who you beat

1835
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:04,479
Speaker 2: it has to matter absolutely, And it's funny we did

1836
01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:08,040
Speaker 2: this with college football. We did the quality losses thing

1837
01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:11,200
Speaker 2: you have so many in college basketball.

1838
01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:12,280
Speaker 1: It's differ an equation.

1839
01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:14,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely. I do think Al in Boston, though, is

1840
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:16,720
Speaker 3: going to fade Michigan in the post season two.

1841
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:18,800
Speaker 4: Michigan.

1842
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:22,599
Speaker 2: By the way, our guy Chris Purfet, technical producer, he's

1843
01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:24,519
Speaker 2: got something he might be fading Michigan as well. What

1844
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:25,160
Speaker 2: do you have, Chris?

1845
01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:28,479
Speaker 11: I I always like to fade Michigan just as just

1846
01:33:28,479 --> 01:33:30,240
Speaker 11: just as one who has a lot of Spartan friends

1847
01:33:30,280 --> 01:33:32,760
Speaker 11: in my life. But to Jeff's point about first off,

1848
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:35,920
Speaker 11: I'm against it. I love small, small teams in the tournament.

1849
01:33:36,200 --> 01:33:38,720
Speaker 11: But also I think to Jeff's point about having more

1850
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 11: small teams in the stories you get from them, Like

1851
01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:43,120
Speaker 11: I keep watching up on on the TV. They keep

1852
01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:46,840
Speaker 11: replaying this clip of what is this Nebraska Oklahoma. They're

1853
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:50,280
Speaker 11: like taking turns of pile driving a trash can in

1854
01:33:50,360 --> 01:33:53,160
Speaker 11: their in their locker room. That's what we get out

1855
01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:54,880
Speaker 11: of the small schools. I want more of that. I

1856
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:57,840
Speaker 11: can't have that kind of fun with Oklahoma. I want

1857
01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:01,080
Speaker 11: more stars doing quirky stuff like that.

1858
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:04,439
Speaker 3: But I think, like like Brian's point, like you mentioned earlier, Brian,

1859
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:09,680
Speaker 3: about like conference tournaments essentially, but like you're gonna get it.

1860
01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 3: A mid major is gonna treat this tournament like the

1861
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:18,080
Speaker 3: super Bowl. Sure Oklahoma might, but they know they're not

1862
01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:20,920
Speaker 3: winning a championship. You know, like the mid major knows

1863
01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:23,320
Speaker 3: that too, But they're gonna treat this like it's the

1864
01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:25,559
Speaker 3: biggest game of their entire left. And for Oklahoma it's

1865
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:27,800
Speaker 3: like it's not. It's not the biggest game of They're

1866
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 3: left to be in the tournament to play a round

1867
01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:33,240
Speaker 3: one game, and you know in Milwaukee at noon Eastern,

1868
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:37,200
Speaker 3: it's just not gonna be the same. So yeah, look,

1869
01:34:37,240 --> 01:34:41,479
Speaker 3: I the tournament's gonna be fun. Is we are watching

1870
01:34:42,040 --> 01:34:45,400
Speaker 3: more basketball collectively. I go back to what Crack said

1871
01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:49,000
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago. Guys like first half underdogs

1872
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:51,080
Speaker 3: in the tournament. There are so many of these games,

1873
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:55,000
Speaker 3: yes on Saturdays, where the first half the underdog is

1874
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:57,720
Speaker 3: playing great or second half they just get there. They

1875
01:34:57,800 --> 01:35:00,160
Speaker 3: just get there, they get their butts kicked. Now we

1876
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:02,160
Speaker 3: have seen more upsets the last couple of days as

1877
01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:04,439
Speaker 3: we get to the end of March, and like today,

1878
01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:07,240
Speaker 3: like Michigan State, I think they beat Michigan in cover

1879
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:09,240
Speaker 3: right now. The first game they played a couple of

1880
01:35:09,240 --> 01:35:11,679
Speaker 3: weeks ago, the second half they were fantastic. They wouldn't

1881
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 3: covering that game in Michigan. But the way the Alabama

1882
01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:17,240
Speaker 3: game went yesterday, some of these other games, like Penn

1883
01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:20,400
Speaker 3: State went into Wisconsin and beat them by doublding eleven yesterday.

1884
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:24,400
Speaker 3: I am kind of leary of taking Michigan State here

1885
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:28,880
Speaker 3: seven and a half points. It's a big number, but

1886
01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:32,439
Speaker 3: I just I'm I'm maybe out on Michigan. I don't know.

1887
01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:33,360
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1888
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:35,840
Speaker 1: You might be burned from the last Michigan game.

1889
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:38,080
Speaker 3: You know a lot of the Michigan games. I just

1890
01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:41,040
Speaker 3: I feel, which means that they're gonna probably beat Michigan

1891
01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:41,519
Speaker 3: State today.

1892
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:44,160
Speaker 1: It's it's been uh do you want to know something?

1893
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 3: I know I'm rambling here, but funny, uh So, women's

1894
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:50,040
Speaker 3: college basketball, it's a good sports to wager on, if

1895
01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:52,720
Speaker 3: you if you pay attention just a little bit. One

1896
01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:55,400
Speaker 3: thing that has been profitable for me over the years

1897
01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:57,760
Speaker 3: is in conference tournaments, and in round one and two

1898
01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:00,479
Speaker 3: is taking the really good teams to by a lot

1899
01:36:00,479 --> 01:36:05,080
Speaker 3: of points. They dominate the bad teams. So conference tournament

1900
01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:09,639
Speaker 3: day one was Thursday and then Friday. Now I only

1901
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:13,120
Speaker 3: wagered on three of the games for the games and

1902
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:16,519
Speaker 3: for the games, but the top twenty five teams in

1903
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 3: college in women's college basketball, twenty of them play games

1904
01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:22,800
Speaker 3: against unranked teams in the first two days, Thursday and

1905
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:25,120
Speaker 3: Friday of their conference serments. Their conference moments are happening now.

1906
01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:29,240
Speaker 3: As you see ACCL big ten went not two of

1907
01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:33,000
Speaker 3: the twenty ranked teams crack ranked versus unraked covered the

1908
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:36,679
Speaker 3: spread two of eighteen I mean twenty two and eighteen,

1909
01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:40,439
Speaker 3: like thirteen and a half, fifteen half these big big numbers.

1910
01:36:41,439 --> 01:36:46,679
Speaker 3: And then it got sort of better yesterday with Florida

1911
01:36:46,760 --> 01:36:48,760
Speaker 3: or with LSU would But now, how crazy is that

1912
01:36:48,880 --> 01:36:53,240
Speaker 3: two of twenty raked versus underranked teams cover the spread

1913
01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:55,120
Speaker 3: in the first two days of conference tournaments.

1914
01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:57,840
Speaker 4: That's unbelievable. Really. And now that you said draft the

1915
01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:00,680
Speaker 4: Michigan State game today, did you bet the game or

1916
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:01,599
Speaker 4: you're not betting the game?

1917
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:03,960
Speaker 3: I haven't decided. Starts in like thirty minutes. A better

1918
01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:08,639
Speaker 3: side what I think I'm gonna do is my son

1919
01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:12,400
Speaker 3: has a baseball lesson at twelve forty five. It's about halftime,

1920
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:14,840
Speaker 3: so I'll probably look at the score. I'll probably look

1921
01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:16,280
Speaker 3: at the score and.

1922
01:37:16,439 --> 01:37:17,720
Speaker 4: Okay, a second half.

1923
01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:20,200
Speaker 3: Well, Michigan State's really good in the second half of games.

1924
01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 3: They they dominated. That's how they be Michigan the first time,

1925
01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:25,720
Speaker 3: be organized, or they were down fourteen or fifteen or

1926
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:28,800
Speaker 3: organ a halftime and won that game covering. So I

1927
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:30,120
Speaker 3: might look at the second half here.

1928
01:37:30,680 --> 01:37:35,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, bet MGM again, I always look at this bet

1929
01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 4: MGM's line compared to the other lines, either they have

1930
01:37:38,560 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 4: opinions or they have took some bets on Michigan State.

1931
01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:46,040
Speaker 4: Seven's all everywhere in the country. The most supportant sports

1932
01:37:46,040 --> 01:37:48,439
Speaker 4: books in the country too, that that make the line

1933
01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:52,200
Speaker 4: for other ones to copy. And yet bet MGM they're

1934
01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:55,120
Speaker 4: sticking at seven and a half. So I couldn't lay

1935
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:59,120
Speaker 4: that hook though, couldn't if anything, if anything with bet MGM,

1936
01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:02,080
Speaker 4: you have to bet the dog. You cannot lay because

1937
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:07,000
Speaker 4: there's key numbers in college basketball they rank two, three, five.

1938
01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:09,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna put seven in there too. Some of the

1939
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:12,800
Speaker 4: sharpest people in the world have told me to buy

1940
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:16,160
Speaker 4: on the buy which costs ten cents extra, which, by

1941
01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:20,840
Speaker 4: the way, it's called alternative lines. With the sports books

1942
01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:23,040
Speaker 4: that came to this country seven years ago, eight years ago.

1943
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:26,120
Speaker 4: It's not called buying points like it is in the

1944
01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:30,719
Speaker 4: old days. What even the Vegas casinos, you know, onto

1945
01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:33,800
Speaker 4: the numbers are very very key. So seven will be

1946
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:36,200
Speaker 4: one of the probably the fifth choice as a key number.

1947
01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:38,880
Speaker 4: But I couldn't lay the seven and a half there,

1948
01:38:39,040 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 4: only could take it. But I just wonder, what were

1949
01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:44,519
Speaker 4: you thinking there about that game, Brian, You have anything

1950
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:47,160
Speaker 4: on that big game here, Michigan State Michigan or not? Really?

1951
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:49,280
Speaker 2: Man, I might look to the first half, you know.

1952
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:52,720
Speaker 2: That's the thing is, Michigan State is a different team

1953
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:54,960
Speaker 2: in the second half. I like what you're saying about.

1954
01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:56,720
Speaker 2: If you're doing anything, you got to be on the

1955
01:38:56,760 --> 01:38:58,920
Speaker 2: dog with the hook over there seven and a half.

1956
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:01,200
Speaker 2: But I might look to the first half in that one.

1957
01:39:01,320 --> 01:39:01,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1958
01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:03,280
Speaker 2: Might I might have a little play on this at

1959
01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:05,320
Speaker 2: the end of the show. It's possible, you know, but

1960
01:39:05,320 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 2: I might like something better. We got Bill Krackenberger, a

01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:18,280
Speaker 1: So they are trying to trade.

1982
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:22,800
Speaker 2: They're disgruntled wide receiver DK Metcalf who was requested to trade.

1983
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:26,720
Speaker 2: So the news is the Seahawks they're open to a

1984
01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:30,760
Speaker 2: return that centers around a second round pick, not a

1985
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:34,679
Speaker 2: first round pick, so a lowering of the asking price.

1986
01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:37,759
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Dk Metcalf.

1987
01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:41,680
Speaker 2: You start playing this game and you look at the

1988
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:45,559
Speaker 2: Patriots come to mind, who don't have wide receivers. That'd

1989
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:49,000
Speaker 2: be pretty interesting if he landed there with Trake May

1990
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:53,520
Speaker 2: because they've tried to get some of these known wide receivers.

1991
01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:55,960
Speaker 2: Has it worked out. So we'll see if the Pats

1992
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:58,960
Speaker 2: can get in on DK Metcalf. But he's still a

1993
01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 2: difference maker. Curious where he ends up.

1994
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:05,000
Speaker 3: I'm shocked the first round pick they couldn't find one,

1995
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:07,760
Speaker 3: the first and the third river, the whatever crazy thing

1996
01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:11,160
Speaker 3: that that they look after the moon, right, ask for

1997
01:41:11,200 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 3: the moon and uh but I said, when the when

1998
01:41:14,439 --> 01:41:18,200
Speaker 3: I saw this happen, that it was impossible to the

1999
01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:21,080
Speaker 3: first round pick for DK just wasn't happening. One thing, guys,

2000
01:41:21,160 --> 01:41:23,280
Speaker 3: One thing that's so clear about some of these trades,

2001
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:27,280
Speaker 3: what we think the value is for a player is

2002
01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:29,880
Speaker 3: not with the NFL. Thanks. I mean, Joe Toney was

2003
01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:33,639
Speaker 3: traded all pro guard for a fourth round pick next season. Yeah,

2004
01:41:34,920 --> 01:41:38,280
Speaker 3: and and look here's here's I think why. Okay, we'll

2005
01:41:38,280 --> 01:41:41,400
Speaker 3: go back to DK in the second here. As I

2006
01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:43,639
Speaker 3: mentioned earlier, the Prigian class this year is not great.

2007
01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:45,439
Speaker 3: I think from now on it's not going to be

2008
01:41:45,439 --> 01:41:50,160
Speaker 3: good because teams are realizing that developing and signing your

2009
01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:52,400
Speaker 3: own players is just far better than going out and

2010
01:41:52,439 --> 01:41:56,080
Speaker 3: getting other players. Javon Hargrave was the was it was

2011
01:41:56,400 --> 01:41:58,880
Speaker 3: the big purchase last year by the Niners. Cut in

2012
01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:02,840
Speaker 3: year one, right, like these guys every year you sign

2013
01:42:02,880 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 3: these high price phrages. Christian Kirk got traded, remember when

2014
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:07,920
Speaker 3: he was Brian the wide receiver got paid all that

2015
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:11,519
Speaker 3: money couple of years ago. There's a reason the team

2016
01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:14,479
Speaker 3: that has that player is going to let them go.

2017
01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:17,000
Speaker 3: They've been with the guy four or five years, and

2018
01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:19,200
Speaker 3: they still don't want to pay the homegrown player that

2019
01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:22,639
Speaker 3: they've drafted and developed. Like there's and I know players

2020
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:25,799
Speaker 3: sometimes take less to stay, but a lot of players

2021
01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:28,519
Speaker 3: too want to just stay where they're at. They're not

2022
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 3: chasing two Bowls of twenty five years old, twenty six

2023
01:42:31,479 --> 01:42:32,960
Speaker 3: years old. Now when they're older, of course they're chasing

2024
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:34,360
Speaker 3: Super Bowls. But right now they just want to get

2025
01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:37,400
Speaker 3: paid stay where they're at. So when players hit phra agency,

2026
01:42:37,400 --> 01:42:39,040
Speaker 3: you have to ask the question of why that is,

2027
01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:41,160
Speaker 3: I think teams just realizing like, let's just sign and

2028
01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:44,840
Speaker 3: keep our own and so that's why these draft picks,

2029
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 3: to me are getting scarcer to get these high draft

2030
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:51,920
Speaker 3: picks for the players. The teams want to keep their

2031
01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:54,800
Speaker 3: own players. So back to DK, so you know when

2032
01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:56,599
Speaker 3: you ask for first round picks is not gonna happen.

2033
01:42:57,760 --> 01:43:01,240
Speaker 3: There's two types of trade requestion or news that we

2034
01:43:01,280 --> 01:43:05,240
Speaker 3: get in the NFL. The first is a team saying

2035
01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:08,679
Speaker 3: we're open for business for ex player DeVonta Adams Jets.

2036
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:11,400
Speaker 3: As you said for example, right, That means they're going

2037
01:43:11,439 --> 01:43:13,519
Speaker 3: to cut the player and they want to put it

2038
01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:16,160
Speaker 3: out there to get some sort of trade value for

2039
01:43:16,200 --> 01:43:18,920
Speaker 3: the player before they cut them. It happened with him

2040
01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:21,000
Speaker 3: and Jonathan Allen and Christian Kirk, all these guys.

2041
01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:21,200
Speaker 9: Right.

2042
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:23,559
Speaker 3: Then there's a trade request that comes from the player

2043
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:27,120
Speaker 3: where the team allows the player to seek a trade

2044
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:29,519
Speaker 3: for a couple of reasons. One is that they're okay

2045
01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:32,200
Speaker 3: with that player being traded, but they want to see

2046
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:34,400
Speaker 3: what the market is sure because that player wants a

2047
01:43:34,439 --> 01:43:38,360
Speaker 3: contract extension. So it's DK sort of Matt Stafford.

2048
01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:40,400
Speaker 1: Stafford and they don't know what.

2049
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:42,320
Speaker 3: The market is, so the teams let the players go

2050
01:43:42,400 --> 01:43:44,640
Speaker 3: find the market and they come back to them. So

2051
01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:47,200
Speaker 3: with DK, it's it's that's what it is, right. The

2052
01:43:47,280 --> 01:43:50,800
Speaker 3: Seattle said, go find a market. If we like, the

2053
01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:53,800
Speaker 3: market will trade you if we like, if we like

2054
01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:56,160
Speaker 3: the money, it will keep you. So that to me

2055
01:43:56,200 --> 01:44:00,160
Speaker 3: feels different than other sort of situations. Brian, I think

2056
01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:02,800
Speaker 3: Seattle was not sold on trading him, but they get

2057
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:05,400
Speaker 3: the right offer, they might if they get the money right,

2058
01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:07,280
Speaker 3: they might want to keep him. Like there's there's many

2059
01:44:07,360 --> 01:44:10,400
Speaker 3: questions still left. I think with DK, it's not as

2060
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:11,920
Speaker 3: clear as he's gone. No matter what.

2061
01:44:13,720 --> 01:44:19,519
Speaker 4: You know, the Barkley rays is obviously well deserved. You'd

2062
01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:21,320
Speaker 4: have to agree that he's the main reason why the

2063
01:44:21,320 --> 01:44:23,080
Speaker 4: Eagles won it all this year and was the most

2064
01:44:23,160 --> 01:44:25,839
Speaker 4: dominant running back in the NFL am I right, you guys.

2065
01:44:26,240 --> 01:44:29,120
Speaker 3: It made is probably strong. But I think that that

2066
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:33,280
Speaker 3: they had a fully loaded rocket ship and he was

2067
01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:35,800
Speaker 3: the booster, you know, like he was he was the

2068
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 3: one that made it go at the end. But they

2069
01:44:37,880 --> 01:44:39,360
Speaker 3: were very good at a lot of positions. I mean

2070
01:44:39,400 --> 01:44:40,679
Speaker 3: they hit home runs everywhere.

2071
01:44:41,800 --> 01:44:45,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you guys agree, Like, like when that trade

2072
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:49,240
Speaker 4: was made, I said, boy, Giants fan, I gotta be furious.

2073
01:44:49,479 --> 01:44:50,760
Speaker 4: What do they feel like now?

2074
01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:55,880
Speaker 2: I think, well, Brian, I was just gonna say that's listen.

2075
01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:58,360
Speaker 2: I'm not a lot of what you said about free

2076
01:44:58,360 --> 01:45:00,960
Speaker 2: agency is true, Jeff. You have to ask yourself, hey,

2077
01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:04,200
Speaker 2: why is this team content with letting this guy go

2078
01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:07,760
Speaker 2: instead of paying him and then the next team is

2079
01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:09,040
Speaker 2: maybe paying top dollar.

2080
01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:11,559
Speaker 1: You might not be getting the value that you think

2081
01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:12,760
Speaker 1: you're getting. Every now and then.

2082
01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:15,880
Speaker 2: There are exceptions where Saquon was released, you know, from

2083
01:45:15,960 --> 01:45:20,240
Speaker 2: the Giants, we think about that, or you know, Derrick

2084
01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:23,280
Speaker 2: Henry being on the open market where you look at

2085
01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:26,040
Speaker 2: their teams and it's like it doesn't make sense with

2086
01:45:26,200 --> 01:45:28,320
Speaker 2: the lack of talent that they have, and you get

2087
01:45:28,320 --> 01:45:31,000
Speaker 2: one of these difference makers on the open market.

2088
01:45:31,080 --> 01:45:32,080
Speaker 1: That can happen.

2089
01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:35,840
Speaker 2: So, I know you're not painting in absolutes, but it's

2090
01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:38,960
Speaker 2: one of these things where I think, really, to your point,

2091
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:42,400
Speaker 2: there are more exceptions in free agency that turn out

2092
01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:45,519
Speaker 2: to be big difference makers, because if they are true

2093
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:49,040
Speaker 2: difference makers, chances are those teams are retaining those players,

2094
01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:50,960
Speaker 2: they're not putting them on the open market.

2095
01:45:51,040 --> 01:45:54,960
Speaker 3: Correct. That's the way it works. That they're retaining those players.

2096
01:45:55,840 --> 01:46:03,280
Speaker 3: Look crack the Barkley thing. The Giants fans should not.

2097
01:46:03,960 --> 01:46:05,920
Speaker 3: They're gonna be upset. He wanted the cham of the Eagles,

2098
01:46:06,240 --> 01:46:10,439
Speaker 3: but the fact is Barkley at the salary he wanted

2099
01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:12,880
Speaker 3: would not provide the Giants what they're looking for. The

2100
01:46:12,880 --> 01:46:14,639
Speaker 3: Giants were not a sickle on Barclay for me good

2101
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:17,280
Speaker 3: last season. You're basically wasting him by hanging all that

2102
01:46:17,360 --> 01:46:20,719
Speaker 3: money to stay in New York. What the Giants should

2103
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:23,599
Speaker 3: have done years ago is let Barkley go and franchise

2104
01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:25,800
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones for one season, and then last year they

2105
01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:28,040
Speaker 3: would have had a rookie quarterback and would have been

2106
01:46:28,040 --> 01:46:30,160
Speaker 3: in a much better situation. He said this year in

2107
01:46:30,200 --> 01:46:32,679
Speaker 3: a panic to get Cam Wader to their Sanders. It's

2108
01:46:32,960 --> 01:46:37,920
Speaker 3: the Giants have a long, years long mismanager of that roster. Actually,

2109
01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:39,840
Speaker 3: Barkley was the best thing they've done in recent years.

2110
01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:41,320
Speaker 3: It should not. They don't need a running back. They

2111
01:46:41,320 --> 01:46:43,280
Speaker 3: should not be paying Barkley twenty million dollars a year

2112
01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:45,120
Speaker 3: to be their running back. That's not what they need.

2113
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:47,720
Speaker 3: They're not close to winning championships. It would be a

2114
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:50,160
Speaker 3: waste of money, in my opinion, to paying that money.

2115
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:53,759
Speaker 4: And you know, as far as MECF requesting a trade

2116
01:46:54,080 --> 01:46:57,120
Speaker 4: after Gino gets shipped out, I don't know if it's

2117
01:46:57,520 --> 01:47:00,000
Speaker 4: really that surprising. I mean, the case such a physically

2118
01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:02,680
Speaker 4: dominant wide receiver, I think he just wants to be

2119
01:47:02,720 --> 01:47:04,680
Speaker 4: able to contend. There may be a proofing quarterback at

2120
01:47:04,680 --> 01:47:06,840
Speaker 4: this point. I don't know. The Patriots maybe if it's

2121
01:47:06,960 --> 01:47:07,799
Speaker 4: if it's about money.

2122
01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:09,920
Speaker 3: He said he wants to go summer warm. That was

2123
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:11,120
Speaker 3: the news, that was the tweet today.

2124
01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:12,520
Speaker 1: That wouldn't be the Patriots.

2125
01:47:12,640 --> 01:47:17,519
Speaker 3: So we all do we all some are warm. DK's

2126
01:47:17,560 --> 01:47:20,439
Speaker 3: interesting guys, because every time I wager on is over

2127
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:21,920
Speaker 3: in a game, he would never get there.

2128
01:47:22,280 --> 01:47:25,679
Speaker 1: He just right, He never get off to the best

2129
01:47:25,680 --> 01:47:26,160
Speaker 1: start up.

2130
01:47:26,520 --> 01:47:28,880
Speaker 3: You know there cotches fifty seven yards in the first

2131
01:47:28,880 --> 01:47:30,960
Speaker 3: half and then to two yards the rest of the game.

2132
01:47:31,760 --> 01:47:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah that's yeah.

2133
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:37,960
Speaker 3: DK's nearing thirty. You know, these big, physical wide receivers

2134
01:47:38,840 --> 01:47:41,760
Speaker 3: don't have a shelf life quite like other wide receivers, right,

2135
01:47:42,960 --> 01:47:44,840
Speaker 3: and you gotta pay Like the equation here is you

2136
01:47:44,840 --> 01:47:46,400
Speaker 3: have to pay him too, right, So you have to

2137
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:49,320
Speaker 3: you have to trade for him in assets and then

2138
01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:51,320
Speaker 3: give him a lot of money too. And I think

2139
01:47:51,360 --> 01:47:52,679
Speaker 3: it's going to really scare teams away.

2140
01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:56,200
Speaker 2: Well, we'll pick this up because the the Geno Smith

2141
01:47:56,240 --> 01:47:59,839
Speaker 2: connection is interesting to me if you think about DK's value,

2142
01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:02,360
Speaker 2: who his quarterback just was and that sort of thing.

2143
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:05,400
Speaker 2: So we'll get into that. But hey, we talk about value.

2144
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:09,560
Speaker 2: I mean this is haha. Smooth transition to Isaac Loewenkron,

2145
01:48:09,640 --> 01:48:16,080
Speaker 2: who is the MVP of the update game. I low

2146
01:48:16,080 --> 01:48:17,080
Speaker 2: with the latest what's going on?

2147
01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:22,840
Speaker 6: I went, actually, Brian, with you pumping me up all

2148
01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:29,280
Speaker 6: these years with your very generous introductions, you the real MVP.

2149
01:48:31,400 --> 01:48:32,200
Speaker 2: Appreciate that.

2150
01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:34,960
Speaker 6: Now I'm gonna go demand a trade and tweet passive aggressively.

2151
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:37,040
Speaker 1: That's how it goes.

2152
01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:41,120
Speaker 6: Guys, It's been a busy day and the latest break

2153
01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:45,000
Speaker 6: news comes from college basketball. NC State has just fired

2154
01:48:45,040 --> 01:48:48,600
Speaker 6: head coach Kevin Keats after eight seasons. Keats led the

2155
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:51,120
Speaker 6: wolf Pack to the Final Four last year, but they

2156
01:48:51,120 --> 01:48:54,639
Speaker 6: were twelve and nineteen this season. In the NFL, today,

2157
01:48:54,680 --> 01:48:57,719
Speaker 6: the Buffalo Bills released eight time Pro Bowl pass rusher

2158
01:48:57,840 --> 01:49:01,400
Speaker 6: Von Miller to Claire salary cap space, but both parties

2159
01:49:01,439 --> 01:49:04,439
Speaker 6: are reportedly open to Miller returning to the Bills in

2160
01:49:04,520 --> 01:49:08,040
Speaker 6: Major League baseball, New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez has

2161
01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:10,679
Speaker 6: a broken left hand and is expected to be out

2162
01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:14,639
Speaker 6: six to eight weeks. In college football, the Toledo Blade

2163
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:18,160
Speaker 6: reported today that Bowling Green is hiring former NFL star

2164
01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:21,559
Speaker 6: running back Eddie George as its new head coach. George

2165
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:24,040
Speaker 6: spent in the past five seasons as the head coach

2166
01:49:24,080 --> 01:49:28,840
Speaker 6: at FCS Tennessee State, which went nine to four last season. Finally,

2167
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:31,559
Speaker 6: in the NBA, on Saturday night, the Boston Celtics depe

2168
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:34,320
Speaker 6: to the Los Angeles Lakers, one eleven to one oh one,

2169
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:37,439
Speaker 6: breaking the Lakers' eight game winning streak. Lebron James had

2170
01:49:37,439 --> 01:49:39,479
Speaker 6: to leave the game of the fourth quarter with a

2171
01:49:39,600 --> 01:49:40,799
Speaker 6: left groin string.

2172

2180
01:50:02,040 --> 01:50:04,519
Speaker 2: we get off the year. That's the thing to me

2181
01:50:04,720 --> 01:50:08,040
Speaker 2: about DK Metcalf, where I'm thinking, if you match him

2182
01:50:08,040 --> 01:50:12,000
Speaker 2: with a real like upper echelon quarterback not named Geno Smith,

2183
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:15,439
Speaker 2: I still think he's got a lot of gas left

2184
01:50:15,439 --> 01:50:17,320
Speaker 2: in the tank. I hear you, Jeff, as far as

2185
01:50:17,680 --> 01:50:21,720
Speaker 2: physical and his game doesn't really translate to old. But

2186
01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:24,240
Speaker 2: I would argue he's not old enough yet right like

2187
01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:27,720
Speaker 2: you could still get two three years the next contract.

2188
01:50:27,800 --> 01:50:30,479
Speaker 2: I still think he could be very productive depending on

2189
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:33,680
Speaker 2: who he's matched up against. Matched up with, I just

2190
01:50:33,720 --> 01:50:36,479
Speaker 2: I'm not a big Geno guy. Like the Raiders are

2191
01:50:36,479 --> 01:50:40,240
Speaker 2: doing backflips. It just shows how sucky their quarterback's position

2192
01:50:40,320 --> 01:50:43,000
Speaker 2: has been these last hand full of years. Man, Like

2193
01:50:43,640 --> 01:50:47,680
Speaker 2: the Chiefs are like Geno Smith. The Chargers, if they

2194
01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:50,600
Speaker 2: downgraded from Herbert to Gino, They're like, what are we

2195
01:50:50,840 --> 01:50:54,760
Speaker 2: doing over here? It's like Geno Smith through twenty one

2196
01:50:54,840 --> 01:50:59,240
Speaker 2: touchdown passes in fifteen picks last year, he had dk Metcalf,

2197
01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:03,400
Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jigba a very good young wide receiver,

2198
01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:04,680
Speaker 2: and Tyler Lockett.

2199
01:51:05,040 --> 01:51:07,320
Speaker 1: You can do a whole lot worse than that.

2200
01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:10,960
Speaker 2: And he's going for twenty one and fifteen and yet

2201
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:13,000
Speaker 2: these people are well, it was a little bit banged

2202
01:51:13,080 --> 01:51:17,200
Speaker 2: up Patrick Mahomes, his legs couldn't work, and he would

2203
01:51:17,280 --> 01:51:18,760
Speaker 2: do better than Toy. What do you mean, It's like

2204
01:51:19,120 --> 01:51:21,879
Speaker 2: I could pick him up like Byron Leftwitch at Marshall,

2205
01:51:22,080 --> 01:51:24,040
Speaker 2: Like he can just get the snap, he can't move.

2206
01:51:24,120 --> 01:51:26,120
Speaker 2: He could give you twenty one and fifteen with those

2207
01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:30,800
Speaker 2: wide receivers. Geno Smith is nothing special, and so I

2208
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:33,960
Speaker 2: think that DK can be undervalued a little bit because

2209
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:36,560
Speaker 2: you're not playing with an upper echelon quarterback.

2210
01:51:38,840 --> 01:51:46,880
Speaker 3: I think Gino Smith is a perfectly average quarterback, and

2211
01:51:47,080 --> 01:51:50,679
Speaker 3: we like his story, so we like him a little

2212
01:51:50,680 --> 01:51:54,040
Speaker 3: bit better. But he had that like that first half

2213
01:51:54,120 --> 01:51:56,479
Speaker 3: of one season where he was good and he realizedn't been.

2214
01:51:57,680 --> 01:52:02,080
Speaker 3: He's middle of pack at best. I think Seattle, look

2215
01:52:02,120 --> 01:52:04,759
Speaker 3: think about this, Seattle. They have a brand new staff

2216
01:52:05,520 --> 01:52:08,000
Speaker 3: one year with him and they're out, like, no, we're

2217
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:10,160
Speaker 3: good any year that doesn't have a great quarterback class

2218
01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:13,240
Speaker 3: in the draft, the fridge, the windows knock. Grammy and

2219
01:52:13,240 --> 01:52:15,880
Speaker 3: Sam Donald that much better than Geno Smith, I don't

2220
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:19,559
Speaker 3: think so more expensive, probably too, but they're just like, yeah,

2221
01:52:19,680 --> 01:52:22,040
Speaker 3: we're out of the Geno business very quickly. Is that

2222
01:52:22,160 --> 01:52:23,960
Speaker 3: kind of Is that very telling? I want to think

2223
01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:24,519
Speaker 3: about him.

2224
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is very telling.

2225
01:52:27,880 --> 01:52:29,759
Speaker 4: What kind of what kind of money do the Raiders

2226
01:52:29,760 --> 01:52:32,160
Speaker 4: give him? You said average quarterback? Doesn't it?

2227
01:52:32,200 --> 01:52:33,839
Speaker 1: Don't give him an average quarterback billion?

2228
01:52:34,280 --> 01:52:35,960
Speaker 4: I was gonna say less.

2229
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:39,320
Speaker 1: Wow, going right, man, sick.

2230
01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:44,040
Speaker 2: It is Daniel Jones got forty million dollars.

2231
01:52:44,040 --> 01:52:47,280
Speaker 4: That's crazy, that's so crazy idea. I got one sixty

2232
01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:47,960
Speaker 4: for four years.

2233
01:52:48,160 --> 01:52:48,400
Speaker 8: Yeah.

2234
01:52:48,400 --> 01:52:50,400
Speaker 4: Wow, I'm going to give Smith the same kind of

2235
01:52:50,400 --> 01:52:52,479
Speaker 4: a deal, like a three year, one hundred and twenty million.

2236
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:52,920
Speaker 3: Wow.

2237
01:52:53,040 --> 01:52:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I mean, ask yourself this, which is

2238
01:52:56,040 --> 01:52:59,320
Speaker 2: a better chance of Like DK goes to a team

2239
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:03,400
Speaker 2: with the better quarterback and his numbers pop, or Geno

2240
01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:07,160
Speaker 2: Smith goes to the Raiders and I don't know, they

2241
01:53:07,240 --> 01:53:09,680
Speaker 2: draft a wide receiver, they do something in free agency

2242
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:13,200
Speaker 2: and his numbers pop like like, which the odds are

2243
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:16,120
Speaker 2: that DK metcalf is gonna do better going forward than

2244
01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:16,880
Speaker 2: Gino does.

2245
01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:23,160
Speaker 1: That's what I think. You guys agree with that? Yes, yeah, yeah,

2246
01:53:23,200 --> 01:53:24,600
Speaker 1: I think that's the way it's gonna go.

2247

Speaker 2: All right, We've got Bill Krackenberger, professional sports handicapper, Jeff

01:53:33,080 --> 01:53:37,559

01:53:37,600 --> 01:53:39,640
Speaker 2: we've all talked about, Yeah, it might take this, I

2251
01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:40,240
Speaker 2: might take that.

2252
01:53:40,280 --> 01:53:41,320
Speaker 1: Well, it's time to pick.

2253
01:53:41,160 --> 01:53:43,559

Speaker 3: Okay, man, I had a queen's ticket for this game

2287
01:55:47,520 --> 01:55:51,600
Speaker 3: forty five to one. They lost overtime. It had been

2288
01:55:51,640 --> 01:55:56,000
Speaker 3: fun to have that, all right. I mentioned I like

2289
01:55:56,080 --> 01:55:58,680
Speaker 3: joker or tip off in af you in about an

2290
01:55:58,680 --> 01:56:01,240
Speaker 3: hour here, hour and a half, over twenty two and

2291
01:56:01,240 --> 01:56:03,879
Speaker 3: a half rebounds and assist, we got the thunder.

2292
01:56:05,040 --> 01:56:09,040
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm looking at Michigan. Give me the first half.

2293
01:56:09,240 --> 01:56:11,840
Speaker 2: I'll take four and a half points. Here, give me

2294
01:56:11,880 --> 01:56:15,080
Speaker 2: Michigan plus four and a half. Sparty, listen, Sparty, is

2295
01:56:15,800 --> 01:56:18,839
Speaker 2: you know this, Jeff, your ducks. Your ducks went crazy

2296
01:56:18,840 --> 01:56:21,480
Speaker 2: on Sparty in the first half, scored fifty points, and

2297
01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:24,160
Speaker 2: then Sparty in the second half they put the clamps

2298
01:56:24,200 --> 01:56:24,480
Speaker 2: on you.

2299
01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:25,960
Speaker 1: So give me Michigan.

2300
01:56:26,360 --> 01:56:30,920
Speaker 2: A team that has talent, especially the Biggs, and played

2301
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:34,880
Speaker 2: badly the last time out, a lot of turnovers, very sloppy.

2302
01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:38,000
Speaker 2: So I think their focused rivalry game. Give me a

2303
01:56:38,520 --> 01:56:40,400
Speaker 2: give me go Blue in the first half plus four

2304
01:56:40,440 --> 01:56:42,480
Speaker 2: and a half points, limit the turnovers.

2305
01:56:42,760 --> 01:56:44,680
Speaker 3: I like it with the way that those last two

2306
01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:47,160
Speaker 3: weeks have gone, these underdogs in the early in games. Man,

2307
01:56:47,200 --> 01:56:48,760
Speaker 3: they're sticking right with the favorites.

2308
01:56:49,280 --> 01:56:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know what's happening with my Big South

2309
01:56:52,760 --> 01:56:55,480
Speaker 2: play from earlier in the show. It's almost like me

2310
01:56:55,560 --> 01:56:59,000
Speaker 2: at the end of the confessional booths here but Winthrop

2311
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:01,920
Speaker 2: and High Point. I was on one sixty and a

2312
01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:04,760
Speaker 2: half the over it's plummeted to one fifty seven and

2313
01:57:04,800 --> 01:57:08,560
Speaker 2: a half. Crack wow, Yeah, all right, we're not getting

2314
01:57:08,560 --> 01:57:10,560
Speaker 2: the best of the number right there. It could still hit,

2315
01:57:10,760 --> 01:57:13,360
Speaker 2: could absolutely still hit, but not getting the best of

2316
01:57:13,360 --> 01:57:14,400
Speaker 2: the number on.

2317
01:57:14,280 --> 01:57:17,400
Speaker 4: One of the one of the pretty sharp syndicates sent

2318
01:57:17,480 --> 01:57:19,400
Speaker 4: out the under on that about an hour and a

2319
01:57:19,440 --> 01:57:24,200
Speaker 4: half ago. Coincidentally, right at the same exact time, like

2320
01:57:24,240 --> 01:57:26,960
Speaker 4: you said it, five minutes later, they were waiting for

2321
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:30,680
Speaker 4: you to push up the line and uh boom.

2322
01:57:31,400 --> 01:57:35,240
Speaker 2: That's right, that's the market just followed. That's exactly what happened.

2323
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:40,720
Speaker 2: All right, let's get the Cracks play. Here we go.

2324
01:57:41,040 --> 01:57:43,200
Speaker 5: This is the best play of the day.

2325
01:57:43,720 --> 01:57:44,000
Speaker 4: The man.

2326
01:57:44,600 --> 01:57:45,920
Speaker 1: All right, crack, what are you thinking?

2327
01:57:45,920 --> 01:57:46,240
Speaker 3: Buddy?

2328
01:57:46,600 --> 01:57:49,520
Speaker 4: I sent you guys this about three hours ago. Saint

2329
01:57:49,640 --> 01:57:53,720
Speaker 4: Thomas and Nebraska, O Maha, we're gonna go over. It's

2330
01:57:53,880 --> 01:57:56,760
Speaker 4: a quick note for this the Summit League Championship. Saint

2331
01:57:56,800 --> 01:57:59,200
Speaker 4: Thomas can't go to the tournament, so it's not really

2332
01:57:59,200 --> 01:58:01,760
Speaker 4: a true championship. You know that they are favorite, but

2333
01:58:02,240 --> 01:58:05,200
Speaker 4: if I just think that they're gonna have a lot

2334
01:58:05,240 --> 01:58:08,240
Speaker 4: of points score, they're probably a little bit upset to always,

2335
01:58:08,320 --> 01:58:10,760
Speaker 4: you know, when when they can't go to a game championship.

2336
01:58:10,760 --> 01:58:13,720
Speaker 4: But I'm looking this game opened up one fifty four

2337
01:58:14,440 --> 01:58:18,120
Speaker 4: down to one forty nine, one forty nine and a

2338
01:58:18,160 --> 01:58:21,760
Speaker 4: half mgm ahead of the curve here at one fifty

2339
01:58:21,760 --> 01:58:23,800
Speaker 4: and a half. But yeah, so I'm looking at the

2340
01:58:23,840 --> 01:58:26,480
Speaker 4: over here. Uh you know, those are the type of

2341
01:58:26,480 --> 01:58:28,920
Speaker 4: games I want to play. No, I don't want to

2342
01:58:28,920 --> 01:58:32,120
Speaker 4: be betting, you know, on a team like Michigan or

2343
01:58:32,240 --> 01:58:35,280
Speaker 4: you know today or in Nebraska, Iowa. I just don't

2344
01:58:35,960 --> 01:58:38,600
Speaker 4: they have so many eyeballs on them. I like to

2345
01:58:38,640 --> 01:58:42,480
Speaker 4: go with the smaller schools, the smaller championships, these these

2346
01:58:42,520 --> 01:58:46,240
Speaker 4: conference tournaments even uh so, yeah, all these games win

2347
01:58:46,360 --> 01:58:49,600
Speaker 4: for a pigh point, these lips comb, like I said,

2348
01:58:50,240 --> 01:58:53,919
Speaker 4: Texas A and m Corpus Christie, you know se Louisiana

2349
01:58:53,960 --> 01:58:56,920
Speaker 4: Incorninate where these are the teams I'd rather be betting

2350
01:58:56,920 --> 01:59:00,640
Speaker 4: on less eyeballs on it, which that means literally less

2351
01:59:00,800 --> 01:59:04,560
Speaker 4: big named people out there talking about them, and we

2352
01:59:04,600 --> 01:59:07,680
Speaker 4: can actually maybe focus in on some of the total

2353
01:59:07,840 --> 01:59:08,360
Speaker 4: good stuff.

2354
01:59:08,440 --> 01:59:10,760
Speaker 2: Crack love all of that. And it's funny how it

2355
01:59:10,800 --> 01:59:12,680
