1
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to the favorite IV your house, Chad, Bill Johnny

2
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: today a black Jack letter. Oh that was good for

3
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: those of you listening. That was not our usual Chad

4
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: doppelganger matt Ford. That was Antonio, well done, my friend,

5
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: well done. Um that that may be better than Maddie's.

6
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was a dead ringer in my opinion,

7
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: getting close to the mic there, buddy, I try. That

8
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: was all right? So so yeah, Antonio just found out

9
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: he was doing that about sixty seconds ago because matt

10
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: Ford left him in the lurch. Wait, sixty seconds longer

11
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: than I would asked if I didn't do Roman or

12
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: h Yeah, you're not going sixty seconds that Roman buddy

13
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: with Roman all night long. Good to know. Alright, so

14
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: this is the favorite time black Jack. Fletcher joined as

15
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: Chad Moman said, by the one and only Christopher Raybon.

16
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: Chris name name intro Christopher Alicious Raybon. It's not even

17
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: my middle name. It's a manual. But I was trying

18
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: to give you some degree of anonymity. I mean, why

19
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: I want to be out here. You know, I got

20
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: the Roman ladies. What's up the two ladies listening to

21
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: this podcast? I'm sure your girlfriend is gonna love hearing that.

22
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure that the ladies will like it even more

23
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: that I have a girlfriend. Listen to this song I

24
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: love my girlfriend. Um all right, so um yeah, let's

25
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: let's jump in and talk about some sports, right uh

26
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: NBA Chrissy. Big news of the day. Kevin Durant uh

27
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: injured last night. The Warriors are saying it's a half strain.

28
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: He's supposed to have an m R I today look

29
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: the hell of a lot like an achilles injury. To me,

30
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: it looked ugly. I mean, anytime you see a guy,

31
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: you know, hopping around and you know he doesn't he

32
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: kind of worry because those are usually the arious. But

33
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the point sprayer because Houston

34
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: is a seven and a half point favorite, and that

35
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: line is skyrocketing. Opened to five and a half yea.

36
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: And what's crazy is the last time the Warriors were

37
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: in Houston. I think it opened at Houston minus one,

38
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: quoted at Golden State minus one. So they're essentially saying,

39
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the market is essentially saying that that Kevin

40
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: Durants worth like eight eight and a half points? Is

41
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: he not not eight and a half not on that team.

42
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, but to be fair, maybe maybe with

43
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook he's worth. Steph Curry has played like crap

44
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: in this series. I mean he's been awful. He has

45
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: three or thirteen, four or fourteen from three. I mean

46
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: he has not been good since he dislocated his finger. Trash. Yeah,

47
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: but I mean what's looks like j R. Smith? Yeah?

48
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: But I mean eight No, no, no, no players areth

49
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: eight points, no players worth that any point? No player No,

50
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: absolutely not eight points. That's what you're you're getting close to.

51
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: That's eight per That's almost like it's seven eight percent

52
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: of your your total teams point like no, no, absolutely not.

53
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe four or five I would give Katie fine,

54
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: but eight, I think how can you not bet Golden

55
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: State in that spot? Do you think we see Durant

56
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: again in this series? No? Does Houston win Game six? Yes?

57
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: Do you think so? Yeah? I mean I think that.

58
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: I think the expectation was it. Did you not expect

59
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: the seven game series from the start? No? I expected

60
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: a five game series. Houston are gold State? Golden State?

61
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: Houston stinks? No, they don't. I mean Houston had everything

62
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: go their way in games one and two, they made

63
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: twice the amount of threes, they shot more free throws

64
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: on the road, their field goal percentage was higher, and

65
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: they still lost both games. Like everything went in their

66
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: favor and they still couldn't win. Even last night, Durant

67
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: goes down and they still I mean, they still lose

68
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: that game. Like, I don't, I don't know the Rockets.

69
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: I think they're frauds. You know, how many shots did

70
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: you take in that game? None? Right, because me, I

71
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: wasn't on the floor, and James Harden took about the

72
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: same amount and in the last eight minutes, though James

73
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: Harden annually disappears in the playoffs. So what makes you

74
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: think it's not gonna happen again. Well, so to me,

75
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 1: Houston is a team point no, no, no, But let's listen.

76
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: Listen used to as a team that the same way

77
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: they could kind of perplexing ly go cold, they could

78
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: also get just as hot, because that's just how they play.

79
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: They rely on like high variance outcomes the three ball,

80
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: like by not taking like any you know, really they're

81
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: they're only taking threes and they're trying to get to

82
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: the whole. They just have such a high variant. Uh,

83
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: range of outcomes that the same way they could go

84
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: cold against Utah for for three games or something like that.

85
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: You know, they could get hot for three games. Again,

86
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: the best team in the league. So I wouldn't rule

87
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: him out. I expected it to go seven the whole time.

88
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: And if Houston, if this is really you know, Darryl

89
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: Morey and his Mori Bull, they need to win game

90
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: six and then they need to go into Golden and

91
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: State improved. Everybody that did that. We that they should

92
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: have been taken seriously this whole time as title contenders.

93
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: If you're a good team, you gotta win on the road.

94
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: Can't tell you my theory. I think everyone in the

95
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: Golden State locker room hates Kevin Durant. I think they

96
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: know he's leaving. I think they don't care for his attitude.

97
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: I think they think to themselves, we want a title

98
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: without him. Now. He comes here, takes all the credit

99
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: for these last two rings, and he's walking out the

100
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: door going to New York in a few months. I

101
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: think they come out and they bring the pain in

102
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 1: Game six. I think the Warriors reign threes on them

103
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: like they've never seen before, and Golden State wins Game

104
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: six by thirty two. Do you think Kevin Durant, who

105
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: do you think has the largest spread between how valuable

106
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: he is and how much he's actually liked by his teammates.

107
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: Do you think Kevin Durant takes that that crown? Or

108
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: do you think of somebody else in the league? But

109
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving, for example on the Cat and the Calves team,

110
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: probably was Durant. Kyrie Irving is not liked by his team,

111
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: but Durant is obviously far better. So the chasm is

112
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: bigger there. League doesn't even have to be somebody still

113
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: in the playoff. They could have already been eliminated, could

114
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: be l Embiid. Speaking of which, let's transition. That's that's

115
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: what we call a segue to the Sixers and Raptors

116
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: Game six tonight. Listen, I have been all in on

117
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: the seventies Sixers. I am holding a future ticket for

118
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: them to win the NBA Finals because in my mind

119
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: they have the best starting five in the NBA. Yes said,

120
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: I will continue to say it. However, However, Joel Embiid

121
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: stinks he is soft. He is soft is tissue paper,

122
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: Chris he is He's one ply toilet paper. That's what

123
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid is. Okay, the guy's got a tummy ache

124
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: and he plays like crap. He comes walking into the

125
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: arena for Game five. Everyone knew when you saw the

126
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: footage of him walking into the arena, this dude had

127
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: nothing nothing. It's a joke. He's a talented, generational type player.

128
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: But the guy seemingly just has no desire, no fortitude.

129
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how Jimmy Butler puts up with him.

130
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: I just gotta tell me within any you say he

131
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: has they have the best starting five. I mean, when

132
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: you're healthy, black Jack, centers are shooting threes. When your

133
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: point guard can't even shoot from the free throw line,

134
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: you are you do not have your automatically shot three. Oh,

135
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: Draymond Green shot. Raymond Green is not a center. Jamond

136
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: Green could shoot three? Is better than Ben Simmons can

137
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: shoot free throws. That's not the point. He's not. It's

138
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: not not true though. Well Ben Simmons can rebound just

139
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: as Yeah. That that that's really helpful when you're when

140
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: you're losing six starting lineups. Talk to me about the

141
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: Sixers and Raptors here game six tonight, do we see

142
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: a game seven Sixers are at home. Home favorites are

143
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean home wonder excuse me? Are just not good

144
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 1: bets in waiting the playoffs since oh five, I believe

145
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: it's something like, uh, they're covering at about rate or

146
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: something like that. UM, go to actually network dot com

147
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: get the actual numbers. I was too lazy. But this

148
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: isn't a number show. This is exactly I know that

149
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: you four numbers. So I'm just I'm just doing this

150
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: all off you. So do you think Toronto gets to win? No? Yeah, absolutely.

151
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: Have you seen Kauai Lenard lately? He's better than the

152
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: entire Sixers starting five that you love so much. Yeah,

153
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: the guy, the guy that san Antonio used to have.

154
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: That that the team that's not David Robinson. Um, all right,

155
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: so that means you've got Raptors Bucks in the Eastern

156
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: Conference finals. Who comes out, who comes out, who wins?

157
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: Who comes at least? I would say, you know, I

158
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: think I would go to Raptors. I think Kauai is

159
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: a machine. I think I think uh, I think that

160
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: team got a lot smarter when they hired Nick Nurse

161
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: to be their head coach and uh, you know, to

162
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: replace Dwayne Kraacey Tee and I think that makes all

163
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: the difference sometimes. You know, there's not a big edge

164
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: sometimes between between teams. You know, the Bucks are amazing.

165
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: You know, they have nice they have they have a

166
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: good supporting cast around him. Uh, there's nothing to knock

167
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: about them. But Toronto is kind of similar. You know,

168
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: they have a pretty solid all around team and they're

169
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: led by a superstar who obviously can turn it up

170
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and you know what I mean, and

171
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: he has that, he has that championship experience already. So

172
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's go to Ronto. They're gonna they're

173
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: gonna be I like you, I like where you're coming

174
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: from with this. I like Toronto. Um don't you like Philly? Well,

175
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if they were to beat Philly Chris, which

176
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: is sound, should they beat them, I would take Toronto

177
00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: and the plus flip flop man. I don't know. Remember

178
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: that guy John Kerry, Yeah, the guy who claimed you

179
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: like fun in Vietnam and he was he was reporting

180
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: for duties. He had he had that one good sound

181
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: bite and at the convention. Yeah, that was a mistake. Yeah, lesson,

182
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: boys and girls, don't mess with Carl rove bang bang. Um.

183
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: All right, so the Nuggets and Blazers out West. I mean,

184
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: Nuggets are winning that series, right. I have to apologize

185
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: because I when when when the Nuggets were playing the

186
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: in the first round against the Spurs, I wrote up

187
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: that I thought the Spurs were a good bet to

188
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: win that series, and uh, that was that. I apologize

189
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: for that. Um, But Nicola Yoki is fucking amazing. Real deal.

190
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: If that dude's in New York, l A, Boston, Chicago

191
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: is an MPP gang. I don't know how many people

192
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: out there listening to our Knicks fans, but I know,

193
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a Knicks fan. I'm from New York,

194
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: and I remember there was very early in Kitch his career.

195
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: I remember watching a Nuggets game because I mean, when

196
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: you play DFS, you tend to stay up and watch

197
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 1: the late games because you have nothing better to do.

198
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: And I was just like, oh my god, this dude

199
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: is better than Chris Stops. Like everyone thinks that we

200
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: have the predominant big white guy had you know, had

201
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: the predominant you know, big white dude in the NBA.

202
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: But in reality, like this dude Yoki is a problem.

203
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: Let me throw some out of you Porzingis or Nurkic. Yeah,

204
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: there you go, give me, give me n He's a bang.

205
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: I always love Nurkics too. Let's keep talking white NBA players.

206
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick not a member of the best starting five

207
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: in the league. You have to go there. I mean,

208
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: you're a foot fall and I just JJ Redick for

209
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: two years or Grayson Allen for the rest of his career.

210
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: Grayson Now is the truth? Man? Have you seen you

211
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: know this dude at the end of the year. I

212
00:11:54,400 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: mean he was Grason Allen late. Reason Allen is what

213
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: if the if the Jazz had played Grayson Allen over

214
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: some of them bums they played, they might have they

215
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: might have had a better chance against Houston. All Right, Alright,

216
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: So neither one of these teams has a shot against

217
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: Golden State, right, neither one. I mean kicked the ship

218
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: out of Denver this year. I mean, oh, you're talking

219
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: about the Western Yahnuggets played Golden State roles, I would think,

220
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: I mean, the only thing we're going to say worry

221
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: about is that they have these Yeah, but they just

222
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: don't care. And if they if they do that at

223
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: home and they blow a home game, what was ever

224
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: thirty seven and four at home in their home court. Yeah,

225
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: but the Warriors just destroyed them this year. Yeah, But

226
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: I mean the playoffs are a whole different game. And honestly,

227
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: Denver's regular season team was very different from what they're

228
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: doing now. I mean, for the for for one, they

229
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: didn't play their their starts nearly as many minutes, and

230
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: they didn't have the same rotations. So I hesitate to

231
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: um kind of use that as a one to one comparison.

232
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: I think that Denver is a different team. And I mean, yeah,

233
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm not a big Denver fan. I picked him to

234
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: get to bounce in the first round. But I'm saying,

235
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: like I wouldn't count them out if because Golden State

236
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: is known to blow to stop caring if they blow

237
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: a home game, especially if Kevin Duran is out for

238
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: an extended period. Let's say he's let's say he doesn't

239
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: come back for that. For that then for whatever series

240
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: you know that the conference finals, and they blow a

241
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: game at home, and now you have to beat Denver

242
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: at home in one of three games. That's not that's

243
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: not a guarantee. I mean, again, this team went thirty

244
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: seven and four. I believe it was at home. So yeah,

245
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I would guess the value would be on

246
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: Denver if we're if the odds open and we see

247
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: the odds and they come out, and I would I

248
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: would think that the bet, the smart money would be

249
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: to be to bed Denver. I would just think, Wow,

250
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: I would disagree because I think it's basically lighting your

251
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: money on fire. I don't know about that. I mean,

252
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, the Warriors happened, the Warriors are. If you're

253
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: making a bet based on ship happens, you probably shouldn't

254
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: make the bet that explains your record in the app

255
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: it does. I mean, I mean, alright, remember remember when

256
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: the Warriors lost to the Calves, Kevin Love. It was

257
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: defending Stephen Curry on what turned out to be the

258
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: keep playing the game. So don't tell me that you

259
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: know anything can't happen in NBA play. So your your philosophy.

260
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: As the Cavaliers were so historically bad outside of Lebron

261
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: James that we don't really know how good the Warriors

262
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: are now. I just wanted to bring it back to

263
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: the two big white guys doing doing good things. Yeah,

264
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: let's keep talking white guys. Um, alright, So Let's let's

265
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: move past the finals into my favorite part of the

266
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: NBA season, which is the off season. A lot of

267
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: free agents out there, Chrissie, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard,

268
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: Kemba Walker, got Zion Williamson and John Morant and the draft.

269
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: How how does all this shakeout start with Kemba Walker?

270
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: I mean, b X stand up Kemba Walker all day. Um,

271
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: I think that Kemba I mean how how how good

272
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: do you think Kemba is compared to Kyrie? Let me

273
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: ask you this question. We're talking about this in the

274
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: office to day. You're a Knicks fan. I'm a Knicks fan.

275
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: Would you rather have Durant and Kyrie Durant and Kemba

276
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: Durant Kemball? That's what every one of us said, because

277
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: every single one. That's just me being biased because I'm

278
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: from the b X. I don't know if that's take

279
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: that out of it. Look at them as players. Are

280
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: you telling me you wouldn't. I think Kemba Walker is

281
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: a better fit. I think Kyrie is a better player.

282
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: I think that I think I want to talk soft.

283
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: As Matt Ford described him, He's precious Kyrie is precious

284
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: all right. So here's the thing, and we talked about

285
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: this affair. Every only one team can win a championship,

286
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: right in any given year? Those are the rules? Yeah, right?

287
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: So where do we draw the line between you know

288
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: what a player before we let a player off the hook? Like,

289
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: what is Kyrie's expectation? Does he have to get to

290
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: the finals every year for us to say, okay, he

291
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: had a successful season? Is that the conference finals? Like?

292
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: What is it with Kyrie? Because at the end of

293
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: the day, I mean, Golden State's probably gonna be in

294
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: the finals, and you know there's only gonna be one

295
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: team in EASN. Does Kyrie have to be in the

296
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: finals for his season to be considered success? Because I

297
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: think we've learned Kyrie Irving is something of a thinker.

298
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: He has a lot of different thoughts that float around

299
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: his head, and I believe he's probably a follower of

300
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: the philosopher uh Ricky Bobby m If you're not first,

301
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: your last, So I think that's his mentality, which I like.

302
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: But also he's not good enough to be first by himself.

303
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: Never should have run away from Lebron. But is that

304
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: is that true? Or is that just a reality of

305
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: the fact that only one team is going to win

306
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: a chip in any given year, because that is though,

307
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: that is the way sports are structure, right, But it's

308
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: the only one. So it's like, is it are we

309
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: just overreacting to the fact that Kyrie team got bounced?

310
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: Are we overreacting? Or is he overreacting because he seems miserable.

311
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: That's true. He seems miserable everywhere he is. That's that's

312
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: so maybe he's maybe he's the next Jimmy Butler. Maybe

313
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: he's just perpetually unhappy because you see, the thing about

314
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: Kyrie Eving is he could actually shoot. Oh don't give

315
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: me that, all right, I'm not going to have you. Sully,

316
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: the good name of Jimmy Butler also a free agent

317
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: in this class. Do you realize that, you, like the

318
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: whole sixers starting on, none of them could shoot. The

319
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: only player that could get Joe centering is the seconds

320
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: shooting stinks. Tobias Harris, Tobias, He's He's I's I mean,

321
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: that was a key move form. But that's the thing

322
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: they needed to acquire to buy as Harris to be

323
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: what Jimmy Butler should have been. They he needs so

324
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: many free agents. He needed to be with Jimmy Butler

325
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: should have been It's not whatever, al right, where does

326
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: where does Kyrie land? I mean, where does the Knicks?

327
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: I hesitate to believe anything positive about the Knicks, and

328
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't even know if that is positive. But I

329
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 1: mean the way the title the Knicks titles have been climbing,

330
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: sixth best in the league. It's almost absurd is that

331
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: hasn't been that high since Oh it's absolutely sucker, but

332
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 1: the Knicks signed to Rant Kyrie, drafts Ion Williamson, and

333
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: two of those a c L s are getting blown

334
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: within the first three months of the season. There's no

335
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Who would you rather better on the

336
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: Knicks with Zion, Kyrie and k D or the thunder

337
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: the Knisten Listen, we've seen Russell Westbrook might be my

338
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: favorite player in the NBA right now. I love him.

339
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: I love everything about him. I love his attitude, I

340
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: love his approach um. But yeah, that didn't happen in

341
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, not unless something drastically changes. I don't know

342
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: about his approach because I feel like after we've seen

343
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: like half the centers in the league develop a three

344
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: point shot overnight. The fact that Russell Westbrook still she

345
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I mean that's a problem. That's that

346
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: is a problem. But I mean he deferred a lot

347
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: more this year to Paul George than he did in

348
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: the past. I mean he let the other good player

349
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: on his team score points to that not really think

350
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: you give him credit for. I mean, who else is?

351
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: What else is he gonna do? We can only score

352
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: so many points. He wants his ten of sist all right,

353
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: he wants those tripled up with and does what's his name?

354
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: Terence Ferguson is not getting him for him? No, So

355
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: all right, So that's uh, that's that Kevin Durant nick

356
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: the neck you know, am I crazy about? That? Doesn't

357
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: feel that realistic to me? It doesn't. Here's the thing, right,

358
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: I don't get it, Like I don't understand it. I

359
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: don't know why you would want to leave if you

360
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: just break this down aside from like a basketball thing

361
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: and just look at it as an employment, right, why

362
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 1: would we want to leave Cali? You want to leave

363
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: a better place with better coworkers that could offer you

364
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: more money to go to a worst climate with awful

365
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: coworkers and an awful boss, probably the worst boss in

366
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: your field for less money. I don't get it. I

367
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: don't get the move. But everything seems everyone you talk to,

368
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: everybody says this is happening. Durance moved his companies here,

369
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: his his business manager moves here. Everything seems to be

370
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: pointing to the fact that he wants to come here.

371
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: Maybe he's trying to rectify the perception of his reputation

372
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: that he joined Golden State for these rings. And if

373
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: there's one challenge in the NBA, it's resurrecting this dead

374
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: as a doornail franchise in New York City. I mean,

375
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: it's it feels like it's happening. We'll see. I mean,

376
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: I think there's we don't know what this year. He

377
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: still hasn't stored me. Let's say he doesn't play again

378
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: in the playoffs this year. Like let's say his injuries here, Like,

379
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: does that change his decision at all? We don't know that.

380
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things to It feels like a

381
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: fatal complete, does it not. I don't know what that

382
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: even meaning? Bringing cultures, I um, it feels predetermined. It

383
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: feels like it's happening. If he doesn't come here. The

384
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: disappointment with Knicks fans is going to because no, no, Chrissy,

385
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: it'll be worse than it was. I mean, Nicks fans

386
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: are at the point where they expect Kevin Durant to

387
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: be here. That's still I mean, I I agree with you,

388
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: but we didn't expect Lebron to be here in two

389
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: thousand ten. Like we hoped it, but we didn't expect it. Silly.

390
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: I just I'm I'm with you. I just think that,

391
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm trying to make this move to Cally,

392
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't understand why Katie would want to leave. All right,

393
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: let's talk about the most important free agent of all,

394
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler. Where does he wind up? Hmm? I think

395
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: it's still to be I mean, I think he could

396
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: land up on a random team like the Mavericks or

397
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: something like. I don't think it's I think he's not

398
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: gonna be yeah, Like, he's not gonna be the in

399
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: demand guy until Like I think dominoes are gonna have

400
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: to fall. What about Lebron strikes out and Jimmy Butler

401
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: is his consolation prize in l A. I could see

402
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: that happening. That won't work. I could see that happening.

403
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's the whole thing with Jimmy Bower is

404
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: not a good shooter. What's gonna happen the first time

405
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler barks at Lebron for like lagging behind on defense.

406
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think Lebrons a fun anymore so,

407
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: I mean nobody. The thing about the Lakers is that

408
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: no one really gives a funk. I mean Magic was like, yo,

409
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: fucking I'm out. He ain't even Lebron chased the Magic

410
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: out of town. He chased Magic Johnson off the Lakers.

411
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: Think about that for a second. Magic Johnson took that job,

412
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: did one season with Lebron and was like, I'm out.

413
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: Magic was stressed. Before we get back to the show, Chris,

414
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: let's talk about something truly difficult. Guys are terrible at

415
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: taking care of their health, whether it's a knee injury,

416
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: bad back, or something worse. Guys are usually more comfortable

417
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: rubbing some dirt on it than seeing a doctor, but

418
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: there are some things you shouldn't rub dirt on. One

419
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: of those things is a rectile dysfunction. Studies show seventy guys,

420
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: including Chad Millman, who experienced e D don't get treated

421
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: for it. Thankfully, Roman has created an easy way to

422
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: get checked out by a doctor and get treated for

423
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: e D online. Roman is a one stop shop where

424
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: you can chat with a licensed US position who can

425
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: treat e D and, if safe and appropriate, ship medication

426
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: right to your door. With Roman, there are no waiting rooms,

427
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,639

428
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: the pharmacy. You can handle everything discreetly online. All you

Speaker 1: complete an online visit, chat with the doctor, and if

431
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: the doctor decides it would be safe and appropriate, they'll

432
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: ship genuine medication right to your door in discreet, unmarked packaging.

433
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: Guys do what Chad Milman did, go online and get

434
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: checked by the doctor a rectile. This function is a

435
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: problem that guys don't tackle, but with Roman, it's really simple,

436

440
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: Let's talk some hockey. So we've got our conference finalists set.

441
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: The Boston Bruins are taking on the Carolina Hurricanes and

442
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: Za Sharks taken on St. Louis Blues. Who do you

443
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: like in the East? I think I think I go

444
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: with the Canes. Man Like, I'm not even no, no, no, no, no,

445
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: why not that Bruins. Listen. The Bruins, I think are

446
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: the team that brings on Stanley Cup this year. They

447
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: are a perfect blend of old, young, experience and athleticism.

448
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: Their goaltender has been there, done that. The team is

449
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: just this is the first year in the last few

450
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: years where the Bruins been in the playoffs, eve been healthy,

451
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: they haven't been missing key pieces, and it's shown. I mean,

452
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,959
Speaker 1: they they've looked really good in the first two rounds.

453
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: Caroline is a nice story. Um, you know, they're kind

454
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: of that. I guess some people find them lovable. I

455
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: don't particularly enjoy hockey in the Sun Belt, so it's

456
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: not really my thing. Um, but they played great defense.

457
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: I think Boston is just too well rounded to lose

458
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: to Caroline. I think the series is probably six games

459
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: and done. I mean, here's my thing about hockey, you know,

460
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm it's probably my fourth sport. You know, I pay more.

461
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: I pay the most attention to NFL and NBA than

462
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: probably baseball. But the thing I learned about hockey is

463
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: that it's incredibly hard to predict, and no one really

464
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: knows what they're talking about. You could be right about

465
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: your your analysis and this and and the and the

466
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: actual outcomes still go to opposite way. So that just

467
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: inclines me to take the value. I just don't think

468
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: there's vagus. I don't think they can win. If you

469
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: point you don't think they could win. But if you

470
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: want to look at if you had that approach in

471
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: the West, I would agree with you because I think

472
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: that series is a toss up in large part because

473
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: the Sharks goaltender Martin Jones is the fucking worst. Um.

474
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: San Jose is the better team. But St. Louis, even

475
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: though their goaltenders are rookie, has the better goalie, which

476
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: evens it out. So I that one. I wouldn't fault

477
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: you for taking plus money on St. Louis because I

478
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: think Martin Jones gonna give you two games in this series. Yeah.

479
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: I've actually bet some some unders on his his saves

480
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 1: and one, so yeah, he's kind of shaky but he uh,

481
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: he's so Jekyll and Hide. But the crazy thing about St.

482
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: Louis is, on January one of this year, St. Louis

483
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: was the worst team in the NHL, and since that

484
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: day they've been the best tea what I mean, like

485
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: a total and complete one eight. And that's the same

486
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: thing with even Goalie's Like they're really hard to predict

487
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: from streaking from night tonight, you know. So, I mean

488
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: I have I have a Sharks future. It's the only

489
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: future NHL future I have, and I bet it like

490
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: strictly based on metrics. I actually want to ask you this,

491
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: do you think that do you think that when you're

492
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: betting that watching games actually helps or it kind of

493
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: just went to to biases that maybe you wouldn't have

494
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: if you were a little more detached. I think it

495
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: depends on the sport um. I think hockey it helps

496
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: to watch. I think in baseball, you don't have to

497
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: watch baseball to baseball. I really don't. I don't think

498
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: you need to watch it, Like you don't need to

499
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: watch Paul Duke go o for four to know he's

500
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: gonna go No, obviously not Listen, you see a guy

501
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: stepping up in the two hole and he's five seven.

502
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: You know what you're dealing with. Um, Now, I agree,

503
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: I think so I feel that way about any NFL

504
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: to some extent. Like you know, there's like a big

505
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: debate in the NFL community about stats versus you know,

506
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: film and all this stuff, and I just, you know,

507
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: everyone knows I'm a big, big numbers guy. But I

508
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: mean I watched every game and I found that it

509
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: just really helps a lot to kind of clarify things

510
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: that might take hours and hours to figure out if

511
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: you were just crunching numbers. So I mean, because I

512
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: mean a lot of times in the NFL you can see,

513
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: you know, maybe a team gets out to a big

514
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: lead and then the other team is just doing whatever

515
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: they want offensively, and it could look like they're very

516
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: potent offense when really defense was given them whatever they want,

517
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, So it does help to have context of things.

518
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: I think in baseball is generally very little context. I mean,

519
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: it is what it is, um because there's things you

520
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: can't even even by watching it, you can't really see.

521
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: It's like the the numbers are are more illuminating a

522
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: lot of times, especially these advanced ones. I mean you

523
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: can't see exactly like if you're watching the game, Okay,

524
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: this is all of his hot zones, and this is

525
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: exactly how hard he hit the ball. You know, like

526
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: you can't see that the same way you can the

527
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: way some of the numbers kind of show you what's

528
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: really going on. So I think baseball is a big

529
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: stats that sport Alright, so that's hockey talk. What else

530
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: we got? Um baseball? You want to talk about? Baseball stinks? Yeah?

531
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: Not really good? Um n yeah, alright, Well I'm gonna

532
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna break something up here that we're going to

533
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: disagree about. Oh boy, the Arizona Cardinals Cardinal stink. Clip

534
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: Kingsbury stinks. He's in over his head. He's got no

535
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: fucking idea what he's doing. He drafted an undersized quarterback

536
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: who I will give you has talent, but it's behind

537
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: and historically bad offensive line that they did very little

538
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: to address, and he is going to get that kid killed.

539
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury over under twenty two games as head coach

540
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: of the Cardinals under man. So here's the thing. And

541
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: and it's not like I know, we joke a lot

542
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: about this, but to be serious for a second, Like

543
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: there the problem is that in the NFL, there's a

544
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: lot of nepotism that goes on. There's a lot of

545
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, you know NFL lifers, you're putting other NFL

546
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: lifers in positions for power. But in reality Um and

547
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz talked about this. It's when you're looking for

548
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: for for for good coaching talent, you want to start

549
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: to look at the coaches that aren't just the guys

550
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: who have won the most games at the biggest programs,

551
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: because those are the guys that it's it's easy for

552
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: them to get talent. It's easy for them to recruit

553
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: guys because just based on a program. But you want

554
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: to look at a guy like a Kingsbury who maybe

555
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: his team was was average or below average, but his

556
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: offenses were top of the in the nation pretty much

557
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: every year. And the reason is that when you have

558
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 1: a when you're running then a raid offense, you're just

559
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: no one takes your defense or it too. You're not

560
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: recruiting good defensive players and your defense is gonna stink

561
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: and that then you you go five and seven or whatever,

562
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: and the perception is that you're a bad coach when

563
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: in reality you have a lot to bring to the table.

564
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: And I think that the NFL is slowly starting to

565
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: realize and change, and I think the Murray selection number

566
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: one just kind of proves that, um, the thinking is

567
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: kind of slowly shifting. Um too to be a little sharper.

568
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: So I think that you can't You can't look at

569
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 1: Kingsbury and say, oh, well, oh he had he had

570
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: a five and seven records last year. I'm going by

571
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: the fact that he's a vapid human being. What's have

572
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: you ever? Can I ask you a question right now?

573
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: Do you know what his voice sounds like? Yeah? I

574
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: mean do you because for a long time I have

575
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: sounded like and I heard him talk, and the man

576
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: doesn't have anything illuminating to say about anything. When you

577
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: watch Sean McVeigh talk, you're impressed by him, his command

578
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: of a room. He feels like he knows what he's doing.

579
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury doesn't. It looks like a deer in the headlights.

580
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: And that roster, Chris is a bad roster. I actually disagree.

581
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: I think that I think the rosters underrated. First of all,

582
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: you you know you you draft, you draft a coin

583
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: you might have a better corner opposite Patrick Peterson and

584
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: you've had in a while. The defense was never actually

585
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: bad to begin with. Um, the real issue last year

586
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: was that and and and this is a kind of

587
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: a sidebar too, everything that's going not just with Kingsbury

588
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: and Kyler, but just the Giants and the Redskins and

589
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: Haskins and everything. Like, let me ask you this, how

590
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: good do we do we think Rosen is? How good

591
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: do we think Donald is? And how good do we

592
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: think because like, you know, really that cardinal offense, I mean, Chris, Chris, Chris,

593
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: that line was awful. I don't think we have any

594
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: handle on how good Rosen is. Coming into the raft

595
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: last year, I thought Rosen was the best of the bunch.

596
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: Obviously that's not the case we just made. But see,

597
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, you gotta pay because I think

598
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: like there was amongst the community that I would say like, no,

599
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: very well, like everyone was pretty much okay, Mayfield is

600
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: the truth, and then it was like who's the second best?

601
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: Like there wasn't even a question. So it's like that's

602
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: why I'm like when people start to say, oh, I

603
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: don't know about Kay, I don't know about kings. Just like, Yo,

604
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: this is kind of a foregone conclusion that this dude

605
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: is going to have success. It's more how much is

606
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: he gonna have? Like I think that people are just

607
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: behind the curve if you're still out there doubting that

608
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: there's going to be successful. Like the air aid offense

609
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: is not just some like gimmick offense. You're right, but

610
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: you've got to have the pieces to make it work,

611
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: all right, So but it s all right? So so

612
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: to me, I feel like from the outside, all right,

613
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: what do you you think that? What do you think of?

614
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: But they signed a few veterans. They first of all,

615
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: they got they had bad injury, looks like they had

616
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: down they didn't dress line, but they got they got,

617
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: they got they like they got veteran like that. We've

618
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: seen this over and over and if, like year to year,

619
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: you know a line, you can confuse the answer. Here's

620
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: the thing. You can cobble together a decent Well, I'm

621
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: not saying you're gonna have the best line in the league,

622
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: but first of all, you gotta remember that this is

623
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: an offense that makes it's The reads are simple, the

624
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: reads are quick. You're not holding the ball and being

625
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: like Josh Rosen was a guy who you know, he

626
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: has a little bit of ability to move around, but

627
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 1: he wasn't really doing that in Arizona. He was generally

628
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: a pocket quarterback, and so he's going to make the

629
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 1: line look worse than it is. And you gotta remember,

630
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: like like for example, Peyton Manning throughout his career, Tom

631
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: Brady even now, like his lines are only gonna look

632
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: so bad because guess what, those dudes just know how

633
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: to get rid of the ball. The air it offense

634
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: helps you get rid of the ball, like you know,

635
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: so even if they have a terrible offensive line, it's

636
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 1: gonna be minimized more so than it was with Rosen.

637
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: And I think with with the veterans the side, I

638
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: think it's okay. I don't think it's bottom five the

639
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: way it was last year. Anyone has the potential to

640
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: be bottom five because you're talking about six five eighty

641
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: pound due that are falling on each other's knees or

642
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 1: they easily anyone get her. Don't have great wide receivers there.

643
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,479
Speaker 1: I think christ and Kirk is gonna be but you're

644
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: projecting that you haven't seen it yet. Well, yeah, but

645
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: this is how you this is how you got. You

646
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: have Isabella who is Chris Chris? When is her Chris?

647
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: When is the last you have David Johnson who can

648
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: put up a thousand yard teason at running back? When

649
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: is the last time a rookie wide receiver made an

650
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: enormous impact like five times to start? That's five years ago.

651
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: But like, like you're taking like specific like I'm not

652
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: saying Isabella is going to be amazingly she's gonna make

653
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: He's a fucking beast. I did and he is, But

654
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, like you're Andy Isabella. Yeah, listen to

655
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: that name and tell me that's a beast. But all right,

656
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: but see you mock it now. But then there's people,

657
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: the real sharp people are going to be making money

658
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 1: off in more year and yeah, y'all gonna be out here.

659
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: I don't like this Kingsberg guy. He's a moron. Okay,

660
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: we'll see. Let's see how it goes in the game.

661
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: Start right, New York Chests makes the playoffs. I think

662
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: they could so so so the a s C. East,

663
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: you have the Patriots every year, and then you have

664
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: you have what I call shotgun, a f c which

665
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: is like the second best team. That team, to me,

666
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: it's the Bills. Don't tell me I'm a Bills fan.

667
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 1: Don't tell me that it's not true. It's not true.

668
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: I had a lot of respects what they're doing. The

669
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: Bills running backs are combined like hundred and twenty eight

670
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: running backs. Don't matter. You just told me David Johnson mattered. Yeah,

671
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:42,959
Speaker 1: as a receiver. Josh Allen, I'm not in on why.

672
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he's any good. I think he's better

673
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: than ros. He's gonna of his passes. All right, all right,

674
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: that ship doesn't work. Wait wait, wait, wait wait. First

675
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: of all, are you telling me, are you telling me

676
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen didn't exceed your expectations last year? No?

677
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: Really interesting? No, I will give him. He was much

678
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: more athletic than I anticipated. As a passer, I think

679
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: he's But all right, do you remember a guy by

680
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: the name of Cam Newton that was similarly inaccurate? Cam

681
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: Newton ain't ever won ship. Yeah, but my point is

682
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: Cam Newton made a business decision in the Super Bowl.

683
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: He did, so you comparison to Cam Newton. First of all,

684
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Josh Allen's ceiling is a very very poor

685
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 1: man's Cam Newton, homeless man, Cam Newton, I disagree. I

686
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: think Josh allen ceiling is Cam Newton. Tell me, tell

687
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: me this, tell me this is Josh Allen ceiling based

688
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: on what we saw on your one. Is Josh allen

689
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: ceiling not higher than Josh Rosen's. It's higher than Rosen's.

690
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: What hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I

691
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: like Darna. I think Darn's going to be a better

692
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: pass than I'm not going to say ceiling is higher

693
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: than Roses's. No, hold on his floor is higher than Ros's.

694
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: Interesting take. I mean, well that so do you think

695
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: that just because he's mobile? In general? Yes, I agree

696
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: that athleticism will keep him around. Josh Rosen I think

697
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: could be very very good, but he also could be

698
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: really bad and be a bust and be out of

699
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 1: the league in three I think that's a good point.

700
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: I don't think Josh Allen's out of the league in

701
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: three years because he's a guy that teams will want

702
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: to take a chance on. He's very athletic. I think

703
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: that that is a good point because I think the

704
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: Giants got the Giants gotta mocked for for Dania Johnson.

705
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: I think there was a lot of problems with with

706
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: that pick, and I think John Marra probably had a

707
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: lot more to do with it than then, Like David

708
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: Gettiman gets a lot of heat, but I really think

709
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: he's kind of a puppet for Mara. Um and I

710
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: think that Mary needs to catch the smoke too. But um,

711
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: I think the one sharp thing about that pick was

712
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: that at least he can move like you know, like

713
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like the guy could move

714
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: like like Dwayne Haskins, contrary to Hood stephen A. Smith

715
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: may Te statue and I I just don't like, like

716
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: you have to be really good. You have to be

717
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: better than you used to have to be to be

718
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: a statue in the NFL these days, it's right, you know.

719
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: So that's the one thing I like. And that's why

720
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: I say like Josh Allen for all his so cold deficiencies,

721
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he was, you know, he was decent last year.

722
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he was like I don't think he

723
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: showed anything last year that would make you say I

724
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: want to see zero more of him when I want

725
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: to convention him right now, and I never want to

726
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: see him starting other game, I don't think, right and

727
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: I think and I think Josh Rosen was a lot

728
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: closer to that. Even if he makes he can make

729
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: a U year to jump and that's fine, and I

730
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: think he might do that. We don't know, but um,

731
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: I just think that Josh Allen right now still like

732
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: the jury's out, and he might have the highest sailing

733
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: of all of the non mayfield passes in that class.

734
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: And and and by the way, Robert Foster is the truth.

735
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: I like f he caught so many bad breaks at Alabama.

736
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: But they're the dudes out there that have said, like

737
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: I would rather I would rather d Upmari Cooper. I

738
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: think Beasley will help his completion percentage, giving him that

739
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: they hope, because I think that I think that he's

740
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: just not even gonna look at easily. He that's the

741
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: only reason he's say. I think Beasley is kind of

742
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: an indictment more on z A. Jones, honestly, because I

743
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: think I think you're gonna have well Cole Beasley has

744
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: never been photographed running around naked in the hotel. I mean,

745
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: because like think about it, you know, Jones was kind

746
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: of the inside, outside guy, you know, you're you're gonna

747
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: put Foster on it. He's gonna be one of the

748
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: TAF two you got. And then they signed John Brown,

749
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: which tells me that they want him one. So who's

750
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: really the odd man out there? Is they Jones? Because

751
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: they Jones could play in the slot and he probably

752
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: would have if they hadn't not so I think, you know,

753
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: and if you look at like Robert Foster had a

754
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: twenty two point nine yard average of the target last

755
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: year and he caught sixty one. Josh Allen completed sixty

756
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: one of his passes to Foster. That is absurd for average.

757
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: You have to target that for like, watch out for

758
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: this dude name So he was good to Foster and

759
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: really shittied everyone else. Well, no, his his teammates were

760
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: just I mean, you know, he was the ghost of

761
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: Charles Clay. Uh, some dude named Jason Room like ten

762
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: receivers who probably aren't even the coach of Sean McDermott.

763
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god. That's why that's why I said to

764
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: build a shotgun in a SCS like every year, Like

765
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: there's no they had no business making a playoffs in

766
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: his first year, No business, No, absolutely not. I still

767
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: wish they kept Tyrod Taylor. I like Tyrode Taylor horrible.

768
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: Antonio has given us a fictional hundred dollars to wager. Yes,

769
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: Chad Melman's doppelganger, Antonio, Chad Melman's Mexican doppelganger, has given

770
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: us a fictional hundred dollars to wager. He said, Mexican

771
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: like you had a problem with it. No, you don't

772
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 1: want to build a wall in front of Antonio Cuban.

773
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm I'm severally sorry. All right, So

774
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: let's go to the last segment. Um, Antonio has given

775
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: us a fictional hundred dollars to wager with. If you

776
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: were to have that money in your hand right now

777
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: at a sports book, where would you bet it? The

778
00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: nearest prostitute, because it's always a bet when it's a prostitute. Three.

779
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: Antonio has handed us a fictional hundred dollars. Let's pretend

780
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: you're in a sports book right now. What are you

781
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: betting it on? Mhm? I think, well, first, I think

782
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: I'm definitely going with I'm not going with any futures

783
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: or anything like that. No live action in the next

784
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: couple days. Uh, you know, I think I think I

785
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: would go with with the with the Nuggets on a

786
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: road because I think you're getting good value there. And

787
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: I think that you know, if you look at Portlands

788
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: under under Terry stots Um, you know, coming off a loss,

789
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: even they they're covering. I forget the exact rate, but

790
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: I mentioned there, it's like it's terrible um and so

791
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 1: I just I just don't think they have an answer

792
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: for Yokos. So I've been on them and I probably

793
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: bet on the on it's around Raptors as well. You know,

794
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: if you and if you look at home Underdogs which

795
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: is sixers are Um in game six or seven in

796
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: the playoffs, they have a similarly do a little money

797
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: line parlay Nuggets rapt I mean they tell me that

798
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: money line parleys. They tell me parley is a kind

799
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: of negative expected value. So I don't know if we

800
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: should be recommending that we have a bunch of nerds.

801
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean, if we if you were to parley the

802
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: Raptors and Nuggets money line, it's plus three forty two

803
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 1: right now, we can turn that hundred into a sweet

804
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: three forty two. So that's what you're advocating, That's that's

805
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: what you're going with it. That's what I'm doing. How many?

806
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: How many? What percentage of your bets are party? Very few?

807
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 1: Very I thought you. I thought you're a big party guy. Yeah.

808
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes the NFL season I'll mess around with money line parlays,

809
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: but not really other than football. Is there any reason

810
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: for that? Uh? It's hard enough to win one bet,

811
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. And now and now you want

812
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: to you want to bet these things. I agree with

813
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: you though about the Nuggets. I would the Nuggets money

814
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: line and plus one fifty. I love that. I love it.

815
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: Why not? I mean again, I wasn't big on the Nuggets,

816
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: but I mean, yo, kich is just they have no

817
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,640
