WEBVTT - Hour 3 - Steve Palazzolo, Johnny Avello 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.240 Sports Radio. Oh, it's a prediction guaranteed to go wrong. 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:10.920 I've got the Chargers and the Packers in the Super Bowl. 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:16.720 I did strongly consider the Ravens. I liked the Ravens 0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:20.040 a lot, maybe more than I should. I do fall 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:23.320 in love like sometimes you have a crush. I fall 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.320 in love like I'm ready to move in and give 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.240 you my bank account. And then that was the feeling. 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.920 And I've done this with the Chargers before. Where I go, No, 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.360 I think this is the year. No. But I think 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:36.199 then they get to the playoffs, they go, no, this 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.800 isn't the year Green Bay. Yes, I'm worried about the 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.880 wide receivers, but I think that defense is really good. 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:47.520 I think they got a great running game. Yeah, offensive line, back, 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.159 tr being healthy. You know, there's a lot of things. 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:54.360 Everybody has a question marker too. I started to look 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:58.200 at the Rams and go, how does it go wrong? 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.440 And I kept coming back to Matthew Stafford and his health. 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:07.360 Although John Wafford is considered a very good backup quarterback, 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.720 case Keenum's the backup quarterback with the Buffalo Bills. If 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:17.400 something would happen to John sh Allen. I just I 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:21.959 couldn't follow everybody on the Buffalo Bills here. Love the story, 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.240 be great if they want a super Bowl for that city. 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:29.920 But I started to think, Okay, do I love like 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.720 the Chiefs? I love a lot as well, because I 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.040 think I think people are under playing how good the 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.600 Chiefs still are. Yeah, they lost Tyreek Hill, They're still 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:42.120 a great team, but it feels like sometimes we're looking 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:47.640 for that news story and Buffalo Bills that struggle and 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.520 maybe they could win a championship. The Chargers always disappointing, 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:56.320 always find the bananappeal. But I love Justin Herbert. They 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.640 got skilled position, you got some impact players on defense. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.920 I like their coach, but it's you know, when you're 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.280 it's like throwing darts in the dark, where you're going, 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.480 all right? Who you picking? And I strongly considered Kansas 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.840 City against Green Bay Tampa Bay. It still feels like 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.359 there's unrest there, like it's it just doesn't feel as 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.640 syncopated as as you would want from a Tom Brady 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:25.239 led team. Todd Bowle's new head coach. No Gronk got 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.919 injuries the offensive line, but I didn't I didn't consider 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:34.720 too many other teams, so it was the Rams, Green Bay, 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.040 little Bit Tampa Bay, and then in the AFC it 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.359 felt like there's maybe five or six teams. Yeah, Poy, 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.640 I like your Ravens movie. It makes a lot of sense. 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.920 I don't think the Ravens have had two losing seasons 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.280 in a row under Harbaugh. They seem to be always 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.720 ten eleven, twelve wins, you know, occasionally off here, but 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.640 off here for them, it's eight and eight historically. Yeah, 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.720 and Lamar Jackson, I don't know what's going to happen 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.200 with the contract and if it's done by tomorrow, where 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.960 it's not done by tomorrow, does does he play differently? 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.480 But yeah, those are just some of the things, you know, 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.639 trying to factor this in. UH stat of the Day 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:13.040 brought to you by Panini America, the official Trading Cards. 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.240 So the Dan Patrick Show, the season kicks off tonight 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.520 NBC and Peacock Peacock our streaming partner watch the Bills 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:24.240 and the Rams at kickoff tonight seven o'clock, the pregame 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.360 show on NBC and Pick Peacock. We'll get some more 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.120 phone calls coming up. Johnny Evello is the director of 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.280 Draft Kings sports book Operations. In other words, he knows 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.040 how to gamble. And what do you think about my 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.240 pick there, Johnny? I got the Chargers Packers in the 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:44.240 Super Bowl. Dan, you were all over the place, so 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.120 I don't know which one was actually your pick. No, No, 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.200 it's Chargers Packers. I had to give you. I had 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.400 to give you my reasoning for how I came to 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:57.000 that conclusion. I understand. No, that's a that's a good pick. 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.840 You know what you're You're staying away from all the chalk, 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.800 which is usually a good thing to do. Uh. You 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.720 know you mentioned the Bills, and the Bills have just 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.640 run across hard times for so many years, and so 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:15.360 many things have gone wrong. They certainly have the talent 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.320 to get there. But yeah, you know, Tom Brady won 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.880 the Super Bowl so many times, and you know it 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.880 wasn't always because they were the better team. It's because 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.120 they were fortunate. And that's the way I see it. 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.160 You have to be fortunate. Good luck has to come 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.960 upon you to win the Super Bowl. Okay, but would 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.479 you rather go like all the money is going towards 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:42.240 Buffalo right now? Right? Correct? Yes, that's correct. Flows our 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.640 number one choice for to win the Super Bowl, and 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:51.279 what's your pick. I'm a bookmaker. I'm not supposed to 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.040 be picking teams to win. I'm just supposed to be 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:59.360 booking the action. Now. Seriously, I've bet Buffalo in the past, 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.160 but I got him at much better odds than five 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:05.880 and a half to one. So I think Buffalo is 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.640 the team to beat. But that is such short odds 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.960 you can't you can't take that price at this time 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.440 during the season, before we've even had a snap. Um, 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.160 there's some teams out there. I think, you know longer 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.680 shots that you know could have you mentioned the Ravens. 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.880 I think that's one of the Eagles you didn't mention. Um, 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:31.520 you know, the the unsophisticated and sophisticated betters both are 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:36.279 on that team to win the NFC, So, uh, you 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.200 know that could also be a pick. And you know 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:42.720 the Vikens. If the Packers don't materialize, they're always there's 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.400 always a chance there. I wouldn't go much further down 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:49.120 the line though, than the Patriots at fifty to one. 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:53.799 That that includes teams like the Raiders, the Cards, the Titans. Uh, 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.160 you know all those teams have an outside shot. Is 0:05:56.200 --> 0:06:00.239 there Is there a Bengals team this year that you see? 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.720 I liked the season last year? Can they you know, 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.480 do the similar thing? Uh? You know, only lose games 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:14.040 by your losses are three points or less. I don't know, 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.559 But is there a team that will be this year's 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:20.440 Bengals that's a hundred? Well, the Bengals were about one 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.359 hundred and twenty five to one at one point last season, 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:28.160 So who's gonna let's go with our our Las Vegas Raiders. 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.640 They are not that type of price, but they are 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.960 in at forty forty five to one range. They have 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:38.440 the pieces. I think it's up to Derek Carr. And 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:44.640 how involved are you with setting the line as a bookmaker? Um, 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.359 we had a large team, so I'm a consultant for 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.440 the team now, you know? So I don't you know? 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.520 When when I ran the bricks and mortars locations in 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.160 Las Vegas, I only had a team of seven guys, 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.920 so I pretty much primarily had to do all the work. 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.600 But now that we have a trading team of seventy 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.760 five plus, we rely on a lot of other guys 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.600 to do the work. In various sports, give me the 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.520 game that still haunts you as a bookmaker in Vegas. 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:20.120 That would be the Seattle New England game with Seattle 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.640 on the one yard line, and we have a decision 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.960 of a couple million dollars to the plus for the house, 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.760 and we know that we know Seattle's win that game. 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.960 They're just given the bottle Lynch and he's running in. 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:35.800 It's the end of the game. They elect the pass 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:40.040 and so that's a turnaround of four million dollars. What's 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.720 it like when you lose a bet like that in 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:48.640 the room when you look in the room, if you 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.880 have that type of decision, then the general public is 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.400 on the opposite side. So they went absolutely nuts because 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.640 I was down in the room when that happened. For 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.360 the bookmaker, it's if you've been into business long enough, 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:06.240 it's let's move on. We have another not football game tomorrow, 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.240 but we have a basketball game tomorrow, so uh, you know, 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.400 we start a whole brand new season. Bookmakers, you just 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.160 don't cry, You just move on. How much money is 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:20.480 on the Rams to repeat, they're not looking at the 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:24.160 Rams this year. The Rams are in the middle of 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.640 the pack, so there's a lot of other teams above 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:30.040 the Rams. The Bills are ahead of the Rams. The 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.360 Bucks are head of the Rams Packers. You know, we 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:38.360 already mentioned the Bills Chargers, so they're Charges are actually 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.160 one of the picks that are in the top three. 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.000 So uh, you know they're not looking at the Rams 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.959 repeating at least early the season. But remember, these futures 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.400 are up all season long and we'll be adjusted. They'll 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.640 be up even while the games are being played. What's 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:58.760 the best piece of advice you've given a better stay 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:03.839 within your limits. Don't chase, you know, have a game plan, 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:08.520 do this for entertainment. I remember i'd bet college football 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.280 and if I lost, then I would go I'd double 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.360 up on the NFL on Sunday, and then I always 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.360 had Monday night as a bailout. And that's what you 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:21.240 mean by chasing where you know you cut your losses. 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.199 You have to swallow your pride and then just try 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:28.120 to bet smart and we rarely do. Then, exactly how 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.199 did you fail after you lost that, you know that 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.520 double up bet? You didn't feel too good, did you? 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.240 You know what, Johnny, I never enjoyed the win as 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.600 much as I hated the loss, So when I won, 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.520 it wasn't as big a deal. When I lost that, 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:45.679 so the pain was something that always over would override 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.720 the joy of winning. Yeah, I know there is pain 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.800 in losing. But that goes for anything, isn't it. Why 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.880 do you have a scale in the background there of 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.959 your room. That's an old scale then that I picked 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.720 up at an antique store. It was in pretty bad 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.280 shape when I got it, and I, uh, you know, 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.920 got it to where it's, uh, you know, in good 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.240 shape now. I don't need the weigh myself. I just 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.920 thought it was a nice, old, old time looking scale. 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.040 I thought it might have been from a way in 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:17.360 at at a Vegas fight like Holyfield, Tyson or something. Well, 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.280 you're you're all right, Dan, I'll tell you the truth. 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:23.200 It's it's how I weigh the money that we win. Wow, 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.120 you might need one of those scales where they weighed cattle, 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.040 you know, where you can put something a little heavier 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:35.800 on there. Johnny, Uh, have fun tonight, and we appreciate 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.800 your time. Thanks for joining us. Thank you, Dan, have 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.520 a good day. That's Johnny Avello. He is the director 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.600 of drafting sports book operations. He runs the book there 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.760 at least helps them run the book. You know, bookies 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:52.719 are fascinating people. The bookie that I had growing up, 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.480 you live right around the corner. He was a man 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.920 held in high regard in my town, had a reputable job, 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.480 and very few people knew what he did for a living. 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.760 He drove a beautiful car, had a nice house. And 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.280 when I would lose my bets, I would go over 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.960 to his house, which was a mile away, and I'd 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.800 have to walk up to the front door and I'd 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:20.480 hand him the money in the envelope or when I 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:24.120 started winning, and then I'd go over there and collect 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:26.920 because I always wanted to collect it, because he'd always say, 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.839 just leave the money with me, and I go, no, no, no, 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:34.240 I'd like to see it. And the last bet I 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:42.520 placed was Oklahoma Arkansas Bowl game. Lost thirty three hundred 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:50.280 dollars that night. Who's got it better than we do? 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.160 That one was and he talked me out. He talked 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.640 me out of my pick. I was going to take 0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:01.000 Arkansas and he said, oh man, all the money is 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.600 going and he talk me out of it. And I'm 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:09.920 glad he did, because I would still be gambling probably so. 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.920 And by the way, the gambling podcast dan Patrick dot Com, 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.640 Shay and Irving is going to join Bad Larry and 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.800 Dylan the graphics guy, and they will make their picks 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.440 later today. That podcast will be available at dan patrick 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.120 dot com. Yes point, at my college Southern Illinois, there 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.400 was our campus bookmaker. He's a nice guy. He actually 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.880 was pretty cool, but he looked like he was unbelievably jacked. 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:36.520 Remember the Ultimate Warrior from WWE. You know, this guy 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.040 was like crazy Jackie had that long hair. I remember 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.440 one time he introduced himself, took. I knew him pretty well. 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.120 He issues him a couple of young guys who wanted 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:45.880 to bet, and they're like, yeah, well beat, why don't 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.080 we collecting there all excited, and he's trying to make 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.160 the point that you have to pay. You know, this 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.559 is not like a bunch of college kids. Yeah, he goes, 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.120 you know how bookies have like a big, strong, tough 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.000 guy who enforces picking out with the bats. He goes, 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.280 I'm that guy too, That's what he said to him, 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.760 because he's so big. Like, okay, remember the sheets that 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.040 they handed out in college where you had to kind 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.880 of you know, pick pick the spread, but you had 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:12.600 to pick them all And I remember that, like you 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.280 you know sports, well, you can know sports that doesn't 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.920 mean you know how to gamble. And I've been around 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:22.559 people to go Indiana against Michigan. Indiana is terrible. They 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:28.240 won't cover, They're getting twenty four. You're like, uh, Indiana covered. 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.760 There are times when you go, how did that happen? 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.160 And I've had these moments because I have these flashbacks 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.120 where when I did Football Night in America and I 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:41.679 would at prior to the one o'clock games, Peter King 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.720 would always say, Dan, who do you like? And I 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.960 would always I probably was seventy five to eight on 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:51.839 one game. And if you're not putting money on it, 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.240 then I'm just saying, you know, I like this, I 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.960 like this team against this team, and it'd be one game. 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.440 I'd never pick more than that one game. And for 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.400 some reason, I had that gut feeling. Now there are 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.880 times when I go, I don't have one. They go, 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.840 who's your pick? I go, I don't have one, But 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.480 when I've felt it, I bet it. Although I don't 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.640 do that now, yes time. Don't you find it fascinating? 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.719 It's not fixed or anything, but that they get it 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.040 so accurate with the points prints and the over unders, 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.400 they so often they get it within one, and you 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.320 have these bad beats at the very end. How do 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.600 you explain that? I know, And it's when you go, 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:29.840 you know, it's a half a yard or it's a 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.480 half a point, it's the over under. Now, there are 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:36.840 times I can remember my losses. I don't remember my 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.480 wins in gambling, and I ended up on the plus side. 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.800 But I just remember those losses because that's what it's 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.240 all about. When you win, it's like, all right, I won, 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.160 and then it's like you're holding on until you lose. 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.200 When you lose, it's not like you go, well, I'll 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:57.400 get that back. You don't. All you do is rent 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.200 the money, like I'm just holding on to it for 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.680 a little. That's why I. I always collected from the bookie, 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:05.360 so I at least had it for a moment too, 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:11.360 then hand it back to him the following week update 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.440 the pole results. There. See, you make me want a bet, 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:17.280 by the way, I can't watch a game that I 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:21.440 bet on. I'm I'm I'm the polar opposite from people 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.480 who go, god, I got I mean, it's a Carolina 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.280 against Clear, I gotta throw something on this. I was 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.920 never like that. I'd be like, oh, thankfully, I don't 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:32.360 have to bet on this game. I get to just 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.080 watch it. Yes, he does. Sounds like a lot of fun, though, 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.640 you know, I think it is fun until you have 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.080 to go, wait, do I have four hundred dollars in 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.720 my bet? I don't have four I owe four hundred 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.680 and fifty dollars. Then you're like, um, can I give 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:52.840 you four hundred and I'll give you a fifty later? 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.120 And that's not good. Like tonight, I'd be sitting there 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.440 watching and be like I got Cooper Cup at seven 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.880 and a half. You know catches, You know, you just 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.480 sit there counting off each one. I like it, but 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:10.360 I but I don't even no, no, sorry.

I 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:45.080 don't think you have any takers here, Brandon, but I 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.080 don't think anybody wants to root against Buffalo. Thanks for 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.359 the phone call, Yeah, Poems. I watched the thirty for 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.920 thirty a little bit last night about the four Super 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.160 Bowl losses for the Bills, and it was very interesting 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:56.800 when it was the first Was it the first Super 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.240 Bowl loss where Scott Norwood missed it wide right against 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:02.960 the Giants? They showed it and it was interesting. They 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.000 delved deep into it. He spent half an hour after 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:09.280 the Super Bowl loss answering questions from reporters and waited 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:10.959 for them to be done till he left the building. 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:14.800 It was unbelievable. But there's been a couple of moments 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:19.240 like that. I was I was in the Giants locker room, 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:24.880 so I wasn't there with Scott Norwood, but I remember 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.600 when Bill Buckner had the ball go through his legs. 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:32.440 He sat there and answered every question afterwards. Now there 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:34.719 was one more game to be played, a Game seven. 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:37.800 When Mitch Williams gave up the home run to Joe Carter. 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:43.040 Mitch Williams answered all those phone calls in Toronto that day. 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:46.800 So I've been around these guys that you know, they're 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:51.320 stand up guys. Hey, I made a mistake, or the 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:52.840 ball went through my legs, or I gave up the 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:55.800 home run, or whatever it is. I'll sit here and 0:20:55.840 --> 0:21:00.360 answer those questions. Scott Nebraska, then we'll take break. Then 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:07.520 we'll get to uh, Steve Pamelozolo here.

I'm currently cruising westbound across Nebraska and there's 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:15.359 a town called Brady and there was a sign that 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.040 said Brady twelve, and I thought, wow, that was kind 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:20.800 of unique. And I got eleven miles up the road, 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:24.080 and there's another sign that said Brady Exit one nine. 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:31.639 Oh that was his draft number, raft number. How weird 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:36.560 is that? Wow? Okay, well, thank you Scott. I did 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:39.280 not know that. I had no numerology. The Yes, I'm 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.240 big into numerology. So it's Fritzie by the way. I 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:44.800 love it. Thank you. Yes, I'm throwing the BS flag. 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:47.200 I'm looking at Brady, Nebraska and it's off Route thirty 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.119 and UT five sixty out there in Nebraska. Yeah, but 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:54.120 what's the exit number? Is it mile one ninety nine, 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:58.480 which is the number that he was drafted? I can't 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:03.000 find that. Wait, are you you're throwing the BS flag? 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:06.040 Saying it's very convenient, should throw the BS flag? And 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.280 you can't. But you don't know it. Shouldn't you wait 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:13.199 to throw the BS You just throw it. Better, you 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:15.080 throw it just like an official. You throw it and 0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:18.200 then you look at replay more like a BS grenade 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.840 than as flag. I have an update. Okay, off I 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:25.960 eighty west exit one nine nine and get you to Brady, Nebraska. Okay, 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:28.800 but I don't five Route twelve that's BS.
