Speaker 4: Jeff, My first time at any racetrack, so that was, well, look,

44
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 4: good morning guys. It was it reminded me of like

45
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 4: a regularly field, you know vibe because it's it's the

46
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 4: oldest track in the country or one of the oldest

47
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 4: in the country, and you know, just like you walk

48
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: in and you sort of get like the grand stand,

49
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 4: that the old school vibe of of of of a

50
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: Wrigley Field, which I thought was super fun. And then

51
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 4: you know, I got there at eleven thirty, I think

52
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 4: we Race two or three was happening. It was pouring rain.

53
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 4: It was it was miserable. And then I got on

54
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: the air and you hear my voice made a little rasp.

55
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 4: I did six hours yesterday of live coverage from uh

56
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 4: from from Sarah from Saratoga, and then we just were

57
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 4: like we were there all day and you saw as

58
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: the day got longer, the vibe certainly changed. We got there,

59
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 4: we got there super early, and it wasn't you know,

60
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 4: it was kind of like a little dead atmosphere. But

61
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 4: I will tell you, man, I got to be We

62
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 4: were situated right on turn one.

63
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 5: I was ten feet from the rail. Look where where

64
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 5: our setup was.

65
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 4: And most of the races that were run before race thirteen,

66
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 4: which is, uh, you know, the big race, we didn't

67
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 4: get to see a lot of the horses run by us,

68
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 4: so the way that the track was set up and whatnot,

69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 4: we didn get to see them run by the finish line.

70
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 4: But I'll tell you what. When when the the Bellmont happened,

71
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: they ran by us at the start. Obviously when he

72
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 4: came out of the gate, it was some powerful beasts. Man,

73
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 4: holy heck, like those those horses are moving. Because I

74
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: watched one race before we started the show, you know,

75
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: from the grand stand essentially, and you know there was

76
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 4: they were moving. Okay, but see these horses. These are

77
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 4: the best three year olds in the world right now.

78
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 4: Running as they did was super cool. I really enjoyed

79
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 4: myself and I hit an eight to one in race eight.

80
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 4: I think that that kind of made my day. And

81
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 4: that's sovereignty too. So when you can do those things

82
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 4: and he hit a couple wagers, it makes your day a.

83
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 5: Lot more fun.

84
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 3: Very nice. Yeah, sovereignty, you got it done. That was

85
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 3: the derby winner. So doubles up and wins the Belmont.

86
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: You know, I was thinking about this with both of

87
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 3: you guys, because listen, Jeff is a former athlete, right.

88
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: If you think about sporting events that you've been to,

89
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 3: that you've taken part in, or you would tell other

90
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: people you got to go there once you got it.

91
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: Experiences you go all the way back to your college

92
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: days at Oregon, all the road venues that you played

93
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: in of course in the NFL, and now really as

94
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: a media guy slash fan, all the experiences. I want

95
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: to get your input to crack. You've been to a

96
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: lot of places. But Jeff, starting with you, what what's

97
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: one place if you're like, hey, man, I'm a sports fan.

98
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: You know what's one place that you would say you

99
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 3: gotta go there? What would you tell that person?

100
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 4: I think that's still the Rose Bowl. I know people

101
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 4: will often say the Rose Bowl itself is the amenities

102
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 4: are not there. That's not why you're at the Rose Bowl.

103
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 4: At the Rose the amenity it's under the old stadium.

104
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 5: You know.

105
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 4: I think the Rose Bowl, when the sun setting and

106
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 4: the too passionate fan bases, it just feels very very special.

107
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 4: You know, I've been to a Super Bowl and that

108
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 4: has a very corporate feel to it. Even though I

109
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 4: was I was with the Chiefs fans and it was

110
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 4: still a lot of fun. I've been to a World

111
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: Series and that's a ton of fun. I mean those

112
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 4: are obviously if you're rooting for the home team, which

113
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 4: I was at that time, that felt you know different,

114
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 4: But you know again, you have you have to your

115
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 4: favorite team has to be in the World Series for

116
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 4: that to feel. I think they get some emotion out

117
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 4: of that. The Rose Bowl is my is my jam man.

118
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 4: Maybe as I grew up as a UCLA fan, I'd

119
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 4: been a Rose Bowl what fifty times, and as a

120
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: kid with every home game from the time I was

121
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: five till eighteen years old. So maybe there's no nostalgia there.

122
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 4: But I just think that when that when those when

123
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: the sun setting behind the mountains, there no better scene

124
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 4: in sports, And uh, that's the one.

125
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 5: That's the one I'd always pet crack nice.

126
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: You know, I gotta tell you you were there yesterday, Jeff.

127
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: I've been there many times, many times throughout the nineties

128
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: and early two thousands. I really love Saratoga Springs. Now.

129
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: I went for a week, so the history of the gambling.

130
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: Nobody would ever understand unless you're there, you understand that

131
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: racetrack opened one hundred and sixty five years ago. I

132
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: mean that that's how long that's been there. That racetrack

133
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: has been there one hundred and sixty years. And the first,

134
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 2: one of the first casinos in the world was in

135
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: Saratoga Springs. It was called the Canfield Casino. You can

136
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: go visit it. I used to go on Tuesdays to

137
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: visit the casino. That's a dry racing day at Saratoga,

138
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: so that was like my day off. It's over at

139
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: Congress Street. There's so much history to Saratoga. That casino

140
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: was built by John Morris. He was a retired prize

141
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: fighter political guy. Matter of fact, what a job Fox

142
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: did yesterday on the entire broadcast. You know, our buddy,

143
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: our buddy, Chris Filica was over there and just I

144
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: watched the entire thing. I'm gonna text Chris when he

145
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: gets back because what a great job they did on

146
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: different stories they showed yesterday. I mean, there was so

147
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: many different things they had. Terry Bradshaw, Bobby Flay, Art

148
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: Runi's grandson, which was in the owner of the track

149
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: and a trainer that just died at fifty nine, Christopher Clement.

150
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: Like I said, John Morris, they talked about the Baron

151
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: Nuncle Fighter Bill mott Is two year old granddaughter that

152
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: passed away, and they did a great special on that.

153
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: I mean, it was just so good. In the history

154
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: of the track. Like I said, going back to what

155
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: I said about the original casinos, there was a lot

156
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: of believe it or not, even in the early nineteen hundreds, Diamond,

157
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: Jim Brady, You're talking about casinos that were owned by

158
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: mob figures and notorious guys like Meyer, Lansky, al Capone.

159
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that have been in Saratoga.

160
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: There's so much history to the town. I absolutely love it.

161
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 2: I miss it. That's one big thing for me. I

162
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: guess if I have to go into other events, I've

163
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: been out.

164
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 5: You know.

165
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: I actually, as in my teens, actually got pretty lucky.

166
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: I got to go see I think it was around

167
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: nineteen twenty. I actually got to go see Tyson Spinkx

168
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: and Tyson Holmes Wow in Atlantic City. They're right down

169
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: there in Atlantic City. And I just remember getting to

170
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: meet Walter Payton, Richard Pryor, Chuck Norris, but they were

171
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: really cool. I had some really good seats, and I

172
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: just got really lucky early in life with a couple

173
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: things there. I really had a lot of fun with that,

174
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: just just off hand. That's just something thinking about how

175
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: fun that was for me. Yankee games maybe when I

176
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 2: was a kid, but you know, living there was so easy.

177
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 2: But the Subway Series was a big thing for me

178
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: when that started happening in the actual world series. But

179
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: I would say it's the old school, maybe those Tyson fights.

180
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: But listen, Saratoga's right up there for me, even though

181
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: I'm not a horse race guy, Saratoga's up there.

182
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 4: The one thing that's interesting about the horse they experience

183
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 4: here versus I think other sporty events. That's kind of

184
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 4: so it depends on I think what you like in

185
00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 4: your events. Like I am a get to the stadium

186
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 4: a little early, Like I don't mostly the traffic issues

187
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 4: I have to get in the stadium, sure, you know,

188
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 4: get get my bearings of where I'm at, get some food,

189
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 4: sit down, and then like watch the game, right, But

190
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 4: I'm there for the game, all right, So like that's

191
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 4: that's like you know, all the all the Super Bowl

192
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 4: I went to like all the pre festival. It's a

193
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 4: different experience when your sibling plays in Super Bowl. But

194
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 4: you know, I'm there just to watch the game, right

195
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 4: like when I and so when I go to the

196
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 4: rose Ball, there to watch the game. When you're at

197
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 4: a track, though, it's it's not always about at least

198
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 4: I know it's yesterday. It's I mean not always about

199
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 4: watching the horses, right, because yesterday was unique because two

200
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: races were canceled, so there were an hour. If you, Brian,

201
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 4: if you ever want to challenge yourself to come up

202
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 4: with with some content, try doing fifty five minutes between

203
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 4: race seven and eight live stream. Okay, fifty five minutes

204
00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 4: of talking about horses between race seven and eight's and

205
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 4: I earned my money yesterday, and uh, like, you know,

206
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 4: because you know they race. I guess if the races

207
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: aren't canceled every forty five minutes, I think it's about right.

208
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: So you you're there for everything else, right, Like you're

209
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: there for enjoying it with friends and family. You're there

210
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 4: for the Belmont Bourbon drink they have. You're there for

211
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: the environment of you know, they're there for the food

212
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: and the booze, like so and then the two minute

213
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 4: horse race happens, right, So I think it depends on

214
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 4: what what the vibe of what you want from your

215
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 4: sporting event. You know, if you're there for imagine you

216
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 4: know people tonight and okay, see like you're you're there

217
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 4: to watch the game, right, you're just there for the

218
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 4: two and a half hours. So it depends, I think,

219
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: on what you want from your sporting if you're a

220
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 4: so very social person, like my wife would love the

221
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 4: horse track like that's like that's her vibe. Where I

222
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 4: would prefer to go to the game tonight in Oklahoma

223
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 4: City and watch your if hours of basketball like you know.

224
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 4: So like it depends on what your vibe is for

225
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 4: your sporting event. What what makes it worth that experience?

226
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 4: Thinksid No, it was outside under a tent, but because

227
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 4: it gets so hot, but it wasn't so it wasn't

228
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 4: The rain had stopped by time we started crack and

229
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 4: it only got to like eighty two yesterday. It was

230
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 4: actually very pleasant. If we didn't have the tent cover,

231
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 4: we would have been screwed, but it was it wasn't

232
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: too bad yesterday. If it was ninety plus, I think

233
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 4: and look Saratoga is open, I belief from July, July

234
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 4: and August, right, so when it's open for the most part,

235
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 4: this is before the season starts. I also thought it

236
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 4: was super cool. The horses are the celebrities and you

237
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 4: cannot like get near, Like not even that I wanted to,

238
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 4: but like, there was a time I was trying to

239
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 4: cross it's pouring rain.

240
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 5: I just got there.

241
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 4: I'm trying to cross a path to get into into

242
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 4: where I was going. The horses were coming from the paddock,

243
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 4: I think, like to the track and they're like, no, no, wait, wait,

244
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 4: horse horse coming through, sir, like it's pouring rain.

245
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 5: Can I please just get on the grand stand? Like,

246
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 5: no horses coming through? Please.

247
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 3: That's the thing, man about Saratoga. That's why it's really

248
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 3: cool for anyone who has in pen there. It's definitely

249
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 3: worth going to. Now let me go into music for

250
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 3: a second and bring it back to sports. But you

251
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: know me, I'm a heavy metal guy. I'm used to

252
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 3: general admission shows. I'm not used to, Hey, I've got

253
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: a seat in section one thirty one. No, man, you

254
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 3: go there and you go wherever the hell you want

255
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 3: to go. That's basically what Saratoga is like, and that's

256
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 3: why it's so different than like, say a football game

257
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 3: that you go to and you know us we love ball,

258
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 3: but you have a seat in a section and you

259
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 3: go there and you can't really wander around. If you

260
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 3: went to an Eagles game, you wouldn't wander around the

261
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: stadium the way you can at Saratoga. That's why it's

262
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: so different. And you can go hang out at the

263
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: paddock area. You can be within arm's length of the

264
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: horses just walking around warming up. You can go wherever

265
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 3: you want to pretty much. That's what's really cool about it.

266
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 3: That's why I would highly recommend it. The other thing,

267
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: we're just talking about sporting events in general that I

268
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 3: would highly recommend. Of course, you know what I would say,

269
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: it would be Notre Dame Stadium. There's something cool about

270
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 3: seeing something in person that you've seen on TV or

271
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: in the movies a hundred times. You know, if you go,

272
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: you might hate Notre Dame and that's fine, but if

273
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: you love college football and ball in general, it's absolutely

274
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 3: worth going to. I mean, it's a great atmosphere. I

275
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: haven't been and I want to get to a lot

276
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 3: of SEC atmospheres, and there are a lot of college

277
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: stadiums I want to get to. I just haven't been

278
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: able to based on my work schedule. But it's still

279
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 3: a great atmosphere. And then you see all these sites

280
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: like the Golden Dome. Touchdown Jesus. You go to the

281
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 3: grotto where all the candles are, it's you know, just

282
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 3: right there where the Golden Dome is. It's awesome. And

283
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: you've seen this on your TV and in movies left

284
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 3: and right. So any place like that where you can

285
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 3: feel history, I thought Lambeau was very similar. You can

286
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 3: just feel like, Wow, there's just football history here. I

287
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: love those type of venues. Those are awesome.

288
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 4: My first time at Lambo certainly felt that way. Like

289
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 4: when you're walking in the from for a warm mouths,

290
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, wow, this has been a lot of

291
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 4: football played here. You can see you can see where

292
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 4: the old Bowl was ended in the new construction. Yeah,

293
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 4: it's a very defined line of like here is the

294
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 4: old first Bowl, here, here's.

295
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 5: The rest of the stadium.

296
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 4: So it makes it actually look I think, Brian, when

297
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 4: Noriam joins the Big Ten, eventually Oregon will.

298
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 5: Have an away game.

299
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 4: Then I'll go I'll come to you eventually like after

300
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 4: our lifetime still when they joint of conference. But you know,

301
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 4: like that, Yeah, I think that the history of stadiums,

302
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 4: as we get new ones, I feel like that's going away.

303
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 4: I mean, there's talk about new Arrowhead Stadium. It's like

304
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 4: what I get, it's old. It's nineteen seventies. You know

305
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 4: the Buffalo you know, Buffalo Stadium, an Orchard Park like

306
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 4: that was built nineteen seven. This started football in nineteen

307
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 4: seventy one. I went to a Division around game there

308
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 4: a few years ago, and it felt like Saratoga when

309
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 4: you're you're there are some new arenas I'm sure you

310
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 4: guys feel this way where like the ball feels secondary,

311
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 4: you know, like there's so many bells and whistles. And

312
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 4: I'm not saying the staums should have these things, these amenities,

313
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 4: but it feels like a little sterile atmosphere. These older stadiums,

314
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 4: man don't feel that way at all. Like Saratoga. There

315
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 4: was like some grime, you know, yeah, you know, like

316
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 4: and I like Arrowhead. I like like the Bill Stadium

317
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 4: for that reason. The Rose ball again I mentioned the

318
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 4: Rosebud feels sort of it's not not as grimy. I

319
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 4: think as other places feel. But the oldness nore Dame

320
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 4: Stadium like having some some you know, some history in

321
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 4: the stadium. Some of the new stadiums just feel I

322
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 4: remember the first time I played in Dallas, which is

323
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 4: kind of an older stadium. Now, we played there the

324
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 4: first year it opened.

325
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 5: The new one.

326
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 4: I never played in the old one, and you walk in,

327
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 4: it's like it's just so big. It's just like it

328
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 4: doesn't feel as as intimate as other places, as grimy,

329
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 4: as kind of like you have that home field advantage.

330
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 4: Lambeau felt that way because it's just it's so old.

331
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 4: You know, it's history football.

332
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I love that though. You could just

333
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 3: feel those atmospheres, you know, absolutely. I don't know what

334
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 3: it is with the newer stadium. Some of them are

335
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 3: really really cool, but they don't feel the same. You

336
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 3: don't walk into like at and T Stadium and like, wow, man,

337
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: this is football history, this is vintage. You're like, this

338
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 3: is a state of the art.

339
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 5: Man.

340
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: It feels completely different. All right, cool stuff. We got

00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 5: Yeah?

367
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 4: Uh uh that's my answer.

368
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 5: I looked. I got by the ponies yesterday. Uh sport.

369
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 4: I don't follow as much all that crack Uh handle

370
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 4: the uh, I will say quickly. Russ, our friend, Russ,

371
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 4: he loves himself some ponies. I didn't realize how much

372
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 4: he likes some ponies until he texted me yesterday. The

373
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 4: anger from him about the track conditions and new work.

374
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 4: Racing Association decided to go forward and go forward with

375
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 4: a lot of the races.

376
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 3: Uh.

377
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 5: Not a fan. He was not a fan of that.

378
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 4: But no, no, no, but he helped me immensely prepare

379
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 4: for this event with getting me some information. I will

380
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 4: tell you then the handicapping. I got some information from

381
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: from him. Sammy P had a guy and I got

382
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 4: information from SAMMYP. I listened to a podcast on on

383
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 4: the races.

384
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 5: What a what a great world, what a unique world.

385
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 3: It is is a force.

386
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:11,239
Speaker 4: Racing eight furlongs is a mile? Learned that yesterday. So

387
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 4: a lot of fun though, but I had nothing for

388
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 4: if I saw Coco one yesterday you graduations to her.

389
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 5: That's her first time winning.

390
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 4: The French Open, I think, right, yeah, and this one

391
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 4: is obviously it's on clay versus the other ones they're

392
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 4: not on clay, so you know, tennis being played on

393
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 4: three different surfaces is unique to me as well, because

394
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 4: that's you know, it's no, I guess not many other

395
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 4: sports playing three surfaces. Some play on two, but being

396
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 4: played on three obviously makes it pretty unique.

397
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 5: So I'll have it on. But I have nothing, Brian,

398
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I got so what what.

399
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: You got about to pick them on this on this match? Brian?

400
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

401
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: Pretty much? Yeah, very close depending where you shop. You know,

402
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 3: it was right before it started, Center was minus at

403
00:20:55,160 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: dollar eighteen, Karas minus at dollar ten, but yeah, pretty

404
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: close to even.

405
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 2: So I'm over on the bet MGM site and the

406
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 2: ways you can bet or amazing of just you can

407
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: bet so many different set one winner, game one, set

408
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 2: one set to set betting who will win the most

409
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 2: games in the match, total games in the match. I

410
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 2: can go on and on tie breaks, handicaps, totals. It's

411
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: amazing how many different Race to fifteen, Race to twenty,

412
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: just like we do win, you know, NFL or race

413
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: to two games, many ways to bet. I've never been,

414
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 2: you know, I used to be around a tennis guy,

415
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: a handicapper. That's back in early two thousands, before the

416
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 2: sportsbooks change the rules. If I tell you how much

417
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: money this guy won betting tennis, you wouldn't believe it. Now.

418
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 2: What I mean is this, if you can handicap if

419
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: someone is just playing for sponsorship commitments, or maybe they're

420
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,239
Speaker 2: a little bit injured, maybe a little bit, you know,

421
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 2: if you could find out if they're going to maybe quit,

422
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: if they're down so many sets, and just withdraw from

423
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 2: the match. Well, all of them, and I mean all

424
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: of the sports books used to count that and say, okay,

425
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: the guy retired, the other guy wins the other guy

426
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: were true, and you can handicap that, and just based

427
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 2: on their history, based on them being maybe slightly injured,

428
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 2: based on sponsorship commitments. However, the sportsbook's quickly caught up.

429
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: Now they have to complete the matches. But years ago,

430
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 2: it was a giant advantage having a good tennis handicaper,

431
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: believe it or not, late nineties, early two thousands up

432
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 2: till around twy ten, twenty twelve, that's when the sports

433
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 2: books all started changing their rules. And I get it.

434
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 2: I get it.

435
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 3: You know, it's probably a bad handicap crack and this

436
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 3: is not a reason I would bet on the French Open.

437
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 3: But I just can't back center in a stupid outfit.

438
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 3: You know, I can't bet on the guy. Sorry, it's

439
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 3: the pass just based on the outfit crack.

440
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: I can't.

441
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 3: I can't bring myself to no GP right, can't can't

442
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 3: go with center there. It looks terrible. I don't know

443
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 3: what it is. Got a green shirt and a white collar.

444
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 3: He looks like, you know, your your boy Koli over there,

445
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 3: who was Sigma Phi Kappa whatever. Can't do it, can't

446
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 3: do it, way too preppy of a look. Can't do that.

447
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 4: I mean, I get that. Considering that the Pacers city

448
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 4: connected to forums. I was gonna fade them every time

449
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 4: they wore them, And so I get taking a team

450
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 4: and fading them based off of a uniform. So I

451
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 4: I get that that thought. You have to you know,

452
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: you have to. There's me some some vibe check going

453
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 4: on when you wager on some of these teams.

454
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeff, are you going all over there? And I'm

455
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 2: like Broadway or something.

456
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 5: I'm an Albany.

457
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 2: Oh you're a nice Brian knows that area.

458
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 5: I mean, I walked to dinner last night. It was

459
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 5: at nine. We found a place that was open, like

460
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 5: at nine thirty at night. When I got back from.

461
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 4: Everything, sarahtoga and then I my flights at two. So

462
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 4: as soon as we get down here, I'm going back home.

463
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 4: So I did have it's a CRJ nine hundred. Originally

464
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 4: I had seat twenty two. A oh, okay, it wasn't great.

465
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 4: I checked the American app every hour till another seat

466
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 4: opened up. But now I have another main cabin extra seat.

467
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 4: So luckily as surviving that window seat and on CRJ

468
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 4: nine hundred in the three extra Charlotte.

469
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, perfect.

470
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 3: There you go, major city to metropolis. You know that's

471
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 3: absolutely okay. So if you look at the Pacers, right,

472
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 3: let's let's talk some hoops over here. Pacers one game

473
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 3: one of the NBA Finals, another crazy comeback. We're down

474
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 3: by fifteen points in the fourth quarter. Somehow one I

475
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 3: don't know how they keep doing this, But depending on

476
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 3: which odds you check, the odds of this happening are

477
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 3: even longer than you would imagine. So if you look

478
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 3: at there are four huge comebacks in these playoffs. They

479
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 3: had one against the Bucks, another one against the Cavs,

480
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 3: another one against the Knicks, and this latest one against OKC.

481
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 3: If you just multiply the win probability at their lowest

482
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 3: point in each game. Micah Adams used to work at ESPN.

483
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 3: He said the Pacers had a one in seventy five

484
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 3: million chants of winning all four of those games, and

485
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 3: they somehow did. I was watching Sports Center last night.

486
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 3: I don't know what kind of goofy math they did

487
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 3: or what they're looking at. Michael Leaves, who's a Sports

488
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 3: Center anchor, he was like, the Pacers had a one

489
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 3: and it was like six hundred and some odd million chants.

490
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 3: I don't know which odds you go by or what.

491
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 3: It was a long shot, long shot that they ran

492
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: the table in all four of these crazy comebacks, but

493
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: they keep doing it in Halliburton. The amount of monster

494
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 3: of shots he's hitting these playoffs has been insane.

495
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's hit like what nine shots this season or

496
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 4: eleven something and saying like that with you know, to

497
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 4: put his team either tire or lead at the end

498
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 4: of games, I tweeted this out about this game, and

499
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 4: I think it's it was a very unique Game one.

500
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 4: So uh and I don't know how the Pacers keep

501
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 4: doing this. I'm still in all they won the other night.

502
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 4: Luckily I didn't. I just had okay see first half

503
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 4: and that that that hit with the East it wasn't

504
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 4: even an issue. And we'll get to check Holmer in

505
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 4: a few minutes.

506
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 5: Here.

507
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 4: Guys, that guy he's one of those guys where you

508
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 4: wager on them, he just just is above every time

509
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 4: you wager on him. So Game one, Indiana out rebounded

510
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 4: okay See by sixteen shocking shocking result. Indiana made eighteen

511
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 4: to three. So the thunder eleven, it's kind of shocking.

512
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: Like I know, Indian has to shoot the ball from

513
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 4: distance to make to make it this they made six

514
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 4: fourth quarter including that that turner shot.

515
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 5: Went up in the air. You're like, oh, that's not close.

516
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 5: But boom bent did crazy.

517
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 4: Nee Smith hit like a steph Curry step back fade

518
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 4: away three. You're like, what is happening right now? It

519
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 4: was no Nemar, It wasn't with Nemar. Yeah, Nemar hit

520
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 4: that three from the wing, your near wing. You're like,

521
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 4: what what's happening now? Indiana had twenty six turnovers. It

522
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 4: depends on what boxfore you look at. And the Thunder

523
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 4: didn't shoot well. I could see the exact opposite happening

524
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 4: in this game today where the Thunder out rebound the Pacers. Yeah,

525
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 4: Pacers don't turn the ball over as much. Right, The

526
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 4: Thunder shoot better though, and the Thunder went by like

527
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 4: twenty alright. It's like it was as shocking as an

528
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 4: end result with a team in the Thunder, I thought

529
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 4: was sort of over that type of result after the

530
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 4: Nuggets series where they've had close games since then. They

531
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 4: made the most of it, but that was an epic

532
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 4: It was an epic collapse, Bride, There's no way about it.

533
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 4: I thought that their coach got too cute, and this

534
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 4: is his first finals appearance. He'll learn from that, I

535
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 4: think today now he'll have Hartenstein and probably Chet playing

536
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 4: at the same time. If you get beat by Myles

537
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 4: turn and Obi Top and you just tip your hat

538
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 4: into Pacers, but you can't give up offensive rebounds.

539
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 5: They didn't have a big dude in the game the

540
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 5: last three minutes.

541
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 4: How is SG going to navigate inside in the paint

542
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 4: without a threat of a lob or a threat of

543
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 4: an offensive rebound. You know, the Pacers were able just

544
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 4: to kind of collapse on him there instead, you know

545
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 4: when you collapse on SG.

546
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 5: But Chet's right there. He just throws them up the

547
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 5: Chet slam duck.

548
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 4: Chet probably would miss it, but at least the ability

549
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 4: to slam duck is there. But like, I just thought

550
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 4: that they they just they were out coached and outplayed

551
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 4: at the at the end there, and I think they'll

552
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 4: learn from it today, Crack. But when they beat the

553
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 4: Knicks or the Sics, it wasn't like that shocking, I

554
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 4: don't think. But the thunder are. So you're on pace

555
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 4: for like the eighty six and fifteen record this year, Brian,

556
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 4: I mean, it's insane.

557
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: I was.

558
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 5: It shocked me, Crack, it really did.

559
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 4: And I laid that two seventy five on the series price,

560
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 4: and they'll tell you that right after that game.

561
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: So that's an amazing price.

562
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, it was seven to fifty before the game,

563
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 5: but no, I've.

564
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: Seen I've seen minus three and a quarter come up

565
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: three point fifty and then you text in the group

566
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 2: chat you had two seventy five. Wow, what a what

567
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: a score? You bet it too, right, I'll let you

568
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: know I didn't bet it.

569
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 5: I'll let you know.

570
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: I'll let you know how good it is in a

571
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: couple of days. But well, listen, we've we've never really

572
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: seen a run like what Halliburton has done this playoffs.

573
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: He's had three clutch shots this playoffs to win a game,

574
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 2: and one against the Knicks at the buzzer to send

575
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: the game to overtime. Just amazing. The Thunder were ahead

576
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: this entire game again before Halliburton hit that shot with yeah,

577
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 2: I think it was point It was a point.

578
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 5: Three second first lead the entire game.

579
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 2: A lot of people felt like the series was going

580
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: to be a runaway for the Thunder. I'll just tell

581
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: you does sports books absolutely destroyed it here. I don't

582
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: want to hear anything the rest of the whole entire

583
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 2: uh the playoffs here, the finals? Here? Does sports books

584
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: just everyone just threw that money line in their parlay

585
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 2: and accumulation. Let me just throw that in there. That's

586
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,479
Speaker 2: an easy when they're a ten point favorite. You know,

587
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 2: even the odds makers shock though minus seven to one

588
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: to win the series. I seen even higher than that.

589
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 2: Cut that in half. Now minus three fifty the favorite

590
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 2: down at bet MGM. I still think that Thunder Listen,

591
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: it's so easy to say this though. I still think

592
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: that Under will win the series. But all the pressures

593
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 2: on them in this game tonight, I'll just tell you

594
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: the fit pacers of me. We need a rolling you know.

595
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, we need a nickname for Halliburton. You started thinking

596
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 3: about great big shot nicknames right there was Chauncey Billups,

597
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 3: mister big Shot. That's a great nickname, big shot rob

598
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 3: with Robert Orie. We need a nickname at this point

599
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 3: for Hallibert.

600
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 4: The internet name we can't probably repeat on the radio.

601
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 4: But there's some Internet nicknames that are there. They're good,

602
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 4: don't get me wrong. But I think that's we can

603
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 4: go with with some of them that they've suggested.

604
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: You know, I'll get to how this team keeps making

605
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 3: me feel stupid. But someone who makes me feel smart.

606
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 3: That would be Isaac Loewenkron, who's with us this morning.

607
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 3: As always on Sunday, it's got the latest. What's going on?

608
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 6: I low, well, you're onto something, Brian, because the men's

609
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 6: singles final at the French Open got underway moments ago

610
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 6: between One seed Yannick Center and two seed Carlos Alcaraz.

611
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 6: And here's why you really were onto something earlier, because

612
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 6: here's a sampling of some social media feedback since the

613
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 6: start of this match. At Saverio Maguisto posted on Twitter

614
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 6: in Italian quote Center conquesto vestito non merita d vineri,

615
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 6: which translates to Sinner doesn't deserve to.

616
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 3: Win with this look.

617
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 6: Meanwhile, at Dale mcdalson commenting quote even Zach Morris and

618
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 6: Steve Sanders think Sinner looks too preppy. And finally at

619
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 6: back to Guzman, adding quote if Sinner put on crocs,

620
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 6: it would be an improvement. Unquote ouch Man that last

621
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 6: one was the toughest at all. They are still battling,

622
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 6: by the way. The first game of the French Open

623
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 6: Final already in its eleventh minute between Center and Lacross.

624
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 6: And I had an eight Eastern Game two the NBA

625
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 6: Finals from Oklahoma City, with the Indiana Pacers up over

626
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 6: the Thunder one game to none. Baseball Saturday night, Joe

627
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,719
Speaker 6: Adele two home runs and the Angels eight six win

628
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 6: over Seattle to the Mariners. Cal Rawley hit two home

629
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 6: runs as well, in a losing cause. He now has

630
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 6: twenty six home runs to lead the Majors three more

631
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 6: than show Hey o'tani in the New York Mets one

632
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 6: of Colorado eight to one, the Mets with the best

633
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 6: record in the National League at forty one and twenty four.

634
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 6: Now back to fashion Officionado ran.

635
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 3: No, that's me man, for sure. You guys can tell

636
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 3: in the zoom chat go all over the fashion world.

637
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 3: Over here it is Fox Sports Radio's Countdown, presented by

638
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 3: Bett MGM. I'll tell you what real fast about these Pacers.

639
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 3: They make me feel stupid. They do, because again, I'm

640
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 3: watching these games and it's still not registering in my brain,

641
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 3: like they've got a legit chance to win this game.

642
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 3: They've done it every round of the playoffs. Watching this

643
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 3: game one like an idiot, where I'm like they're only

644
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 3: down by five, or like they're only down by three,

645
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 3: and it's still not clicking, like they could steal this game.

646
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 3: I didn't think that until the very end, and I'm like,

647
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 3: how could I not think that? With five six minutes

648
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 3: to go, it's still it didn't even dawn on me,

649
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 3: and they're just trailing by that much. And that's how

650
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 3: horrible they looked in the first half, just turnover city.

651
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 4: Because basketball history is evidenced by all the stats that

652
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 4: we see after these games, There's been nothing like this ever,

653
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 4: like like, that's that's.

654
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 5: Part of it.

655
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 4: There's been you know, you see these first time NBA history,

656
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 4: a team is in NBA Finals is won a game

657
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 4: down seven with like it.

658
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 5: Just has never happened before. Brian, That's what we ate.

659
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 5: That's what's hard to comprehend. And because again I go

660
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 5: back to this.

661
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 4: A lot with the Pacers Halle, I had a I

662
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 4: didn't do individual prop bets in this game. I just

663
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 4: did one parlay essentially because whatever I took chet, I said,

664
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 4: I think game one you sort of have to fill

665
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 4: out before you just go heavy and the props. I

666
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 4: took a chat over rebounds and SJA under points. I

667
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 4: niced J Hollyburn. I felt very strong Hollyburn was not

668
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 4: gonna get seventeen and a half, and he didn't. That

669
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 4: basket was was his thirteenth or fourteenth point. He was tentative,

670
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 4: he was all the things I thought he would be

671
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 4: in Game one, and and that's why I thought they

672
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 4: weren't gonna win, and like and then he just hit

673
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 4: a mid grade's jumper, and like on a on a

674
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 4: possession that wasn't a great offensive possession, they didn't call

675
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 4: time out. He was sort of dribbling around like looking

676
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 4: like what am I gonna do with the ball, and

677
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 4: then just stopped eighteen feet away on the wing and

678
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 4: he just it's hard to comprehend all those things led

679
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 4: to this exact moment baked in three.

680
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 5: It just was.

681
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, Yeah, that's the thing, real fast

682
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 3: for such a great defensive team. That was way too

683
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 3: easy of a look. Yeah, Ali Berton, you know, he

684
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 3: got to his right and just rose up. That's way

685
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 3: too good of a look in that type of situation

686
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 3: for a defense. That's that sounds hey man, that's the

687
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: way it went down.

688
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:23,360

715
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 2: the parlay platter on the main game in the NBA,

716
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 2: which is very hard to do for me. I really

717
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: don't like the BET a lot of playoff games if

718
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: fuller lines are usually very efficient. Let's go with the

719
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: Indiana Oklahoma tonight under on the game, gonna go under.

720
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 2: It's too twenty eight and a half at bet MGM

721
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: up to twenty eight and a half under under Indiana time.

722
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 4: Okay, Wow, that's not that's not a normal unusual crack

723
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 4: player though.

724
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 2: Okay, no, just because they would just throw it in there,

725
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 2: have some fun, a little nugget.

726
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 4: Okay, So I will do I'm gonna go back to this, Brian.

727
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do it. He's gonna break my heart and again,

728
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 4: I just know it. Chud houlgrin over. It's now eight

729
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 4: and a half rebounds. It was nine and a half

730
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 4: and do one. He still is the favorite to lead

731
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 4: the series in rebounds. With his pro poor performance at

732
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 4: Game one, I was a little concerned about him in

733
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 4: Game one, Brian, because in other game ones he's looked

734
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 4: very tentative, and last night Game one he looked very tentative.

735
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 4: I think today comes out with a little more and

736
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 4: it just was it looked a little unfortunate times too,

737
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 4: like when Hartenstein was in that Pagers missed more shots.

738
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 5: And he just was there to get the rebound.

739
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 4: I mean, it wasn't like but I think Chat tonight

740
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if we see a twenty ten

741
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 4: night from Chat. I think that he's gonna have to

742
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 4: do that tonight, and they're gonna have to. They can't

743
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 4: just rely on SGA one on one. You're not getting

744
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 4: five to threes from lou Dort today. So I think

745
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 4: Chet's a big part of what they do today. But

746
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 4: I'll go over eight half.

747
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 3: Rebounds, all right. Yeah, I'm similar to you, Crack. I'm

748
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 3: looking at the Pacers team total. I just think, Okay,

749
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 3: sees defense is gonna be really tough tonight. They just

750
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 3: let one slip away. You could look at maybe their

751
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 3: defense down the stretch in the fourth quarter and going

752
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 3: small ball and all those things contributed. I just think

753
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 3: they're gonna be highly focused, and that's the way they

754
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 3: really get going is they generate a bunch of turnovers

755
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 3: and easy points off those turnovers. I'm not expecting nineteen

756
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 3: in the first half again, but I just think the

757
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 3: PACER's gonna have a really difficult time scoring easily on OKAC.

758
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna have to earn everything. And Halliburton

759
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 3: said that after game one. He's like, if you're driving

760
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 3: without a plan, that's not a good approach against OKC.

761
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 3: You have to drive with the plan. So for all

762
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 3: those reasons, I think Pacers under one oh eight and

763
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 3: a half for their team total is a solid look

764
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 3: here tonight. I mean, not a not a very juicy parlay,

765
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 3: but hey, one that can still hit. Nevertheless, it's plus

766
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 3: two sixty. You would think with three legs you'd be

767
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 3: better than plus two sixty, but crack you and I

768
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 3: similar line up thought on that.

769
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a correlation, so you don't get so correlated Parlow.

770
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.

771
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 2: Usually strike someonellow you to do it. But I understand

772
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 2: why they would hear at that penalization. Christ Yeah cool.

773
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's still nothing to thumb your nose up at though.

774
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 3: Plus two sixty is still pretty good. All right, Coming

775
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 3: up next, how would you define success for this guy?

776
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 3: We'll compare notes right around the corner. Oh, welcome in

777
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 3: Happy Sunday to you, as we are knee deep in

778
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 3: the French Open two in the first set between Center

779
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 3: Preppy Center and All Karaz. We'll keep you updated on that.

780
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 3: We're gonna get to how do you define success for

781
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 3: this guy in just a couple of seconds. First, they'll

782

Speaker 3: our Fox Sports Radio videos on YouTube. Okay, so it's

787
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 3: finally official, Aaron Rodgers. Shocker, he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

788
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 3: I know that was We didn't know that was gonna

789
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 3: happen months and months ago, But for whatever reason, Rogers

790
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 3: finally is signed, zeal delivered, Gonna show up to mandatory

791
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 3: mini camp next week or whenever he sees fit. But

792
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 3: the question becomes, what do you think would be a

793
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 3: successful season for Rogers this year?

794
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 5: Right?

795
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 3: Like, how would you define it?

796
00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 5: So this is the interesting part about this, right because

797
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 5: I would argue.

798
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 4: The only success that would that would say, you know,

799
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 4: like this worked out as a super Bowl. I don't

800
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 4: really what else? Oh, they win a playoff game? How

801
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 4: does that can have any closer to anything. They had

802
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 4: won a playoff game in eight years. But okay, when

803
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 4: one playoff game, that that's what success for the Steelers.

804
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 4: It depends on the franchise, right, Like the Jets last

805
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 4: year was like make the playoffs, right, I mean that's

806
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 4: but to me, the Steelers six super Bowl championships, right,

807
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 4: They're not just in it to win a playoff game.

808
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 4: They're in it to win super Bowls. And I think

809
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 4: they're signing him with the idea of winning a super

810
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 4: Bowl this season. I think that's the only reason you

811
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 4: signed Aaron Rodgers. And the reason I'd been against the

812
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 4: Steelers planet for a quarterback for years now is there

813
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 4: is no plan. They're going to be right back on

814
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 4: the team spot next year, Brian heading in the draft

815
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 4: without a quarterback on the roster, having one a playoff

816
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 4: game or not, and we're gonna be who's the quarterback

817
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 4: of the Steelers. They're drafting twenty if they'll get the

818
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 4: six best quarterback in next draft, because the draft is

819
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 4: a big quarterback draft in twenty twenty six. If you

820
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 4: thought you were missing a little bit of quarterback discussion

821
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 4: and last draft, wait till this one, buddy, Because it's

822
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 4: going to be everywhere. Okay, I mean, so I did

823
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 4: the Steelers have to decide to do something bolded quarterback?

824
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 4: This is not bold. This is a guy on his

825
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 4: third team in four years. It's a guy who is

826
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 4: not committed one hundred percent of playing football. It's a

827
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 4: guy who at best probably you know, nine to ten wins.

828
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 4: I mean I go by this metric all the time

829
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 4: when I look at division winners, and it's hard to unless,

830
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 4: say you're Tom Brady in twenty twenty. You know, winning

831
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 4: a super Bowl as a wildcard team is really really

832
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 4: hard to do, right. You need to have a home

833
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 4: game and maybe a buyeh. Division winners are often the

834
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 4: best quarterback in the division. Just look at the divisions, right,

835
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 4: that's a is is Aaron Rodgers the best quarterback in

836
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 4: the NFC? North stop better than Burrow? No stop there

837
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 4: in Lamar, You're like, you just kind of like doing

838
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 4: the same thing again.

839
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:12,919
Speaker 5: Crack I off.

840
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 4: I'm going under eight and a half. I know I

841
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 4: want to. It feels like a play that you know,

842
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 4: sharp people are gonna be on. But I'm just not

843
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 4: buying the Rogers thing, man, not not buying at all.

844
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 2: You know, we all knew that Rogers was eventually signing

845
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 2: with the Steelers team. He just likes the attention of

846
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 2: dragging things out at the last moment. Uh. The odds

847
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 2: didn't really change much after the announcement. Steelers still forty

848
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 2: five to one, a bet MGM didn't even. Their win

849
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 2: totals still around eight eight and a half. Like you said, no,

850
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 2: no big difference there. Everyone knew what was coming. Well,

851
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know. Can you do you consider him?

852
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 2: How can how successful can he be this year? Well?

853
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: I mean if he makes the playoffs, I guess that's

854
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 2: definitely six sucessful. I guess, especially if they win a

855
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 2: playoff game. I think that is a better situation for

856
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 2: him than he had with the Jets. And you have

857
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 2: a head coach that's been there almost two decades in

858
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,919
Speaker 2: the system in place that Rogers will have to follow

859
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 2: if he can stay healthy. I wouldn't be surprised if

860
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 2: the Steelers actually do contend. I don't want to say

861
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 2: for the division, but I just wouldn't doubt they can

862
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 2: sneak into maybe a playoff spot. But I have been

863
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 2: anti Pittsburgh the last few years, so if anything, I

864
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 2: would probably I'm not gonna bet it, though, but if

865
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 2: I would see some money come in because Rogers is

866
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 2: the official quarterback and the line was to move a

867
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 2: little bit on the season wins or something, I'd be

868
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 2: tempted to go under. Though.

869
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that, first off, what would be successful.

870
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 3: It's got to at least be a playoff win at

871
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 3: a bare minimum. I even think that where if they

872
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 3: wont's say a wild card game, and then they got

873
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 3: beaten pretty convincingly in the divisional round, we'd walk away saying, man,

874
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 3: what a successful season for Rogers and the Steelers like,

875
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 3: probably not. I can't imagine we would. You do have

876
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 3: to take into account they haven't won a playoff game

877
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 3: in eight years. It still blows my mind. I bring

878
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 3: this up all the time. The last time the Steelers

879
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 3: won a playoff game, it was at Arrowhead they beat

880
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 3: the Chiefs Smith That's when Antonio Brown had the Facebook

881
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 3: live video after the game. That's how long it's been

882
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 3: almost a decade. That's there was a holding penalty. Eric

883
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 3: Fisher held James Harrison to think about how that a

884
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 3: long time ago? Yeah, that's nice, that's not off the

885
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 3: touchdown that game, right, that was like what like eighteen

886
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 3: to sixteen.

887
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 5: Or something like that. Eighteen sixteen. Yeah, that's what the

888
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 5: final score was.

889
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 4: Nos from Boswell or whatever the kicker was at the time.

890
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 4: Perfect Steelers win.

891
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 3: The last time. That's the epitome of a Steelers, right,

892
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 3: that's the last time they've won a playoff game. So

893
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 3: you check that box. That does mean something, but again

894
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 3: you get waxed the next week. I don't think we're like, man,

895
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 3: Rogers really brought it this season. I don't think we're

896
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 3: saying that at all. So I would say bare minimum,

897
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 3: you would least get to a conference championship game appearance

898
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 3: where it would be almost a consensus like, hey, that

899
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 3: was worth it, like that that was a successful season

900
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 3: compared to previous seasons recently. But I think Jeff hit

901
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 3: it on the head immediately where I just thought of

902
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 3: Antonio Pierce, remember the coach of the Raiders for a

903
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 3: little while. He said this about the Raiders, and you

904
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 3: could apply the same thing to the Steelers. Check this out.

905
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,439
Speaker 5: Whoever draft, that's the route we go. If that's who

906
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 5: the started becomes, you know, and again.

907
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 2: I'll go back at least aiden or it's somebody draft

908
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 2: when we bring in you don't want to put a

909
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 2: band aid deposition.

910
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's talking about you don't want a band aid

911
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 3: at quarterback. And that's what the Raiders have had for

912
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 3: years and years, and the Steelers have done the same

913
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 3: thing at some point, like Jeff said, you got to

914
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 3: be bold. Look at the Chiefs. The Chiefs had Alex Smith,

915
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 3: who's been who was serviceable at the time, better than

916
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 3: what the Steelers have had behind center, and they were like, yeah,

917
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 3: we want to be special, and they swung for the

918
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 3: fences and they hit a grand slam with Mahomes And

919
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 3: I don't know why more teams don't try to do

920
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 3: a similar thing. You're not going to get where the

921
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 3: Steelers want to get by doing it the way they've

922
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 3: done it with signing you know, Justin Fields and Russell

923
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 3: Wilson now Aaron Rodgers. It's through the draft and they

924
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 3: just haven't been bold enough. Next year's draft is the

925
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 3: time to be bold. And we'll see if they are

926
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 3: or not.

927
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, it absolutely is next year's draft. I saw

928
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 4: a funny Kevin Clark, who works for ESPN I believe now,

929
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 4: said on the TV other day that Anthony Richardson feels

930
00:48:59,400 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 4: like a.

931
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:00,439
Speaker 5: Steeler now next year.

932
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 4: And that is that where we're at right now, where

933
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 4: the Steelers are left with we we we have to get,

934
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 4: you know, a player and who completes forty er percent

935
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 4: past he can't stay healthy. Is that where the ste

936
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 4: the Pittsburgh Ers are at the spot now where we're

937
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 4: able to make jokes about whether or not they're going

938
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 4: to go with Anthony Richardson next season.

939
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 5: Like that's what.

940
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 4: There's just no faith at all that they're gonna they're

941
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 4: gonna do the thing necessary to get themselves in a

942
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 4: position to have the success that we think they need

943
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 4: to have that position.

944
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's and that's the thing. You combine that those

945
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 3: two stories, like Anthony Richardson is out indefinitely with an

946
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 3: ac joint issue, the Colts quarterback, so he's been bad

947
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 3: and he's been injured a lot. And now you look

948
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 3: at the Colts, they could be freaking terrible this season, right,

949
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 3: they might have been terrible with Anthony Richardson, probably would

950
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 3: have been. But now you've got Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard.

951
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 3: Next up the Notre Dame rookie quarterback who I call

952
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 3: the White Anthony Richardson he's a guy who can run

953
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 3: and can't throw very well. Right, Like, that's where the

954
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 3: Colts are. And that's funny. I never connected the two

955
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 3: where Anthony Richardson might end up in Pittsburgh. That my gosh.

956
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 3: You know, Bo Benson, our trusted producer. He said something

957
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 3: off the air yesterday where he was like, maybe he

958
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 3: goes to the Rams with Sean McVay. There'll be some

959
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 3: team that says, hey, he was drafted fourth overall for

960
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 3: a reason. He's got some ability. But you know they'll

961
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 3: take a shot. I just don't see how it's gonna

962
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 3: pay off. That's the thing. The Colts did not do

963
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 3: a great job at all developing this guy. He had

964
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 3: fewer than four hundred passing attempts in college and they

965
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 3: threw him in right away to the fire. It's like,

966
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 3: that was not a great move.

967
00:50:56,239 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 4: I'm glad you mentioned this, Brian, because you know that

968
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 4: when you draft a quarterback, you have to have a plan,

969
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 4: and sometimes it's hard to stick to the plan. And

970
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 4: the reason why the Chiefs are so good and maybe

971
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 4: it's not, you know, Mahome is gonna be good anyways,

972
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 4: but they had a plan. We're not playing Mahomes that

973
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 4: first season, we're not playing him, and there was a

974
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 4: lot of grief about it. I remember defending that decision

975
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 4: for a couple of years on the internet because my

976
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 4: brother was on the team and he's like Alex, Butthon

977
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 4: is doing fine, Like I mean, like, what what do

978
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 4: we o?

979
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 5: Mahomes is good in practice?

980
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean you're running off cards, like they

981
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 4: put a card up in practice and say run this

982
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 4: play like if you like, you can do good in

983
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 4: those situations. Mitch never thought that he would play I

984
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 4: think as well as he did early in his career,

985
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 4: or talent was always there.

986
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,439
Speaker 5: They had a plan. We're taking to the plan.

987
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 2: Now.

988
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 5: Obviously things can change it.

989
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 4: Maybe Alex Smith was so bad through week ten they

990
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 4: had to get off the plan. But the plan was

991
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 4: this Colet had no plan for Richardson, none because the

992
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 4: number one thing everyone said was dude needs reps. He

993
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 4: did not play much in college and one of the

994
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 4: colts not giving him reps. Now, part of it was

995
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 4: he got hurt. Obviously his first season that was two

996
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 4: years ago. Last season should have been hit. That was

997
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 4: last year was a second year. Correct, that should have

998
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 4: been his entire season should have been riginally gets every

999
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 4: rep possible, and they panted to put Joe Flacco in

1000
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 4: and realized he's not good either and went back to Richardson.

1001
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 4: They just didn't have a plan, Brian, And if you

1002
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 4: don't have a plan National Football League for that position,

1003
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 4: you're going to be the Colts. You're going to be

1004
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 4: the Steelers. These band aids do not happen, right, You

1005
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 4: have to develop a quarterback. And sometimes imagine if Buffalo said,

1006
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 4: you know what, this Josh Allen guy, the one completely

1007
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 4: fIF fifty pass after his first season, We're we're out

1008
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 4: on Josh Allen. No, they had a plan. They stuck

1009
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 4: to the plan, and Josh Allen got better. Now he's

1010
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 4: a little bit of an outlier.

1011
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 5: I don't think.

1012
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 4: Richard's gonna complete sixty eight percent of passes anytime soon.

1013
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 4: But the fact is they had a plan and they

1014
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 4: worked that plan to get themselves in a position where

1015
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 4: Josh Allen it paid off three years. You know, in

1016
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 4: his third season. Essentially, you know, the Ravens had are

1017
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 4: playing with Lamar. We're not gonna start him early in

1018
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 4: his career, even though he might be ready. And when

1019
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 4: Flaho got to the point where you have to get

1020
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 4: you put in, you put Lamar in.

1021
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 5: The Colts seem to have no plan Brian whatsoever.

1022
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 3: None, none, real fast crack. Think about this, how it

1023
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 3: blows my mind. The Chiefs didn't play Mahomes the first

1024
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 3: year except for the final game of the regular season.

1025
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 3: Right The Colts played Anthony Richardson pretty close to right away.

1026
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 3: Just think about that, and think about the passing attempts

1027
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson in college three hundred and ninety three passing attempts.

1028
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 5: That's it.

1029
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 3: Mahomes in college thirteen hundred and forty nine in the

1030
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 3: neighborhood of a thousand more passing attempts in college for Mahomes.

1031
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Richardson has the same injury that he had the

1032
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 2: force from the mistand there's rookie season. The Colts have

1033
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 2: to wonder if he's just damaged. Goods may be strong,

1034
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 2: but I'm not sure exactly how he got injured. But

1035
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 2: for a quarterback, he plays with such reckless style that

1036
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 2: I'm not shocked that he got hurt again. It seems

1037
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 2: like he just doesn't protect himself on the field like

1038
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 2: most quarterbacks do, and almost reminds me of an early

1039
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 2: RJ three or RG three a little bit. You know.

1040
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 2: I look at the season wins though, and they're over

1041
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,800
Speaker 2: under seven and a half. Still, I think it's probably

1042
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 2: about right. I'm not on either side. If anything, maybe

1043
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 2: lean to the under a little bit. Listen, they still

1044
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 2: play in the worst division. That's what I think. In

1045
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 2: the NFL. I don't think Daniel Jones is as bad

1046
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 2: as everyone makes him out to be. I mean, maybe

1047
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 2: he'd be a good starter here and revive his at

1048
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 2: the end of his career a little bit. Jonathan Taylor

1049
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 2: still looks to have all the tools to be a

1050
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 2: dominant running back two in the league. So their offensive

1051
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 2: line is probably above average. I think the offense can

1052
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 2: be efficient enough to win eight or nine games, but

1053
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 2: it's gonna fall a lot on their defense, which was

1054
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 2: not good last year. So that's my take on this

1055
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 2: whole team. I'm not even though I say they have

1056
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,879
Speaker 2: a you know, they could be efficient enough to win

1057
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 2: eight nine games, I'm not looking to bet the over.

1058
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 3: So yeah. Well, and the other thing is it's connected

1059
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,799
Speaker 3: to that correlated crack as you would say, but Colts

1060
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 3: to make the playoffs, that know is minus two to ten.

1061
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 3: Do you see the Colts in the playoffs.

1062
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 2: I do not.

1063
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 3: I don't see them sniffing the playoffs, even though they're

1064
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 3: in a bad division.

1065
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 5: I just.

1066
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 3: The Colts supporting cast Is Giants like. I don't see

1067
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 3: how Daniel Jones, who struggled with the Giants, all of

1068
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 3: a sudden comes to the Colts and is flourishing. I

1069
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 3: don't see that.

1070
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 4: So to make the playoffs, you'd have to win the division,

1071
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,959
Speaker 4: would we assume, right? Because the South is not getting

1072
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 4: two teams in the playoffs, So are you better than Houston?

1073
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 4: I don't think so either. Maybe Liam Cohen gets things

1074
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,720
Speaker 4: revived a little bit in Jacksonville, and then.

1075
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 3: I like Jacksonville more than the Colts.

1076
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 5: And then Tennessee.

1077
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 4: I think it can be feisty, right, like they're gonna

1078
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 4: they're gonna sneak up and probably upset a couple of

1079
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,399
Speaker 4: teams this year. Cam Ward has a game or two right,

1080
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 4: and as a rookie, And yeah, I minus two ten.

1081
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1082
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 4: I laid minus two seventy five on the thunder the

1083
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 4: other night. Minus two ten doesn't scare me if you

1084
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 4: think it's a piecent wager. So I don't know. I

1085
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 4: mean to be fair. I do have the Pacers at

1086
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 4: plus three hundred to win the finals too, so I

1087
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 4: have a little bit of leeway here on some of

1088
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 4: those those wages I've made. So I was waiting for

1089
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 4: that serious price to come down that the serious price

1090
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 4: was minus seven fifty, and then Thunder lost one game.

1091
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 4: I dropped five dollars like it's crazy, and I was like, sure,

1092
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 4: sign me up for that. If they win tonight, it's

1093
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 4: going back up to five hundred, right, five six hundred,

1094
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 4: and so I'll take that way. So yeah, I think

1095
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 4: the cults are not making the playoffs. It's hard to

1096
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 4: wager on teams to do well that I think don't

1097
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 4: have a plan. Back to the original point, right, like

1098
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 4: right there you go the Giants, Like the Giants for example,

1099
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 4: I actually they do have a plan, right Russell Wilson's

1100
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 4: gonna play and then Jackson Dart probably sits most of

1101
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 4: the year if they can afford to do that. And

1102
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 4: I like that they have a plan, Like they have

1103
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 4: a plan. Colts have no plan. Daniel Jones is not

1104
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 4: a plan. It's not a plan. The fact that even

1105
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 4: there was a discussion about a rotation a battle in

1106
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 4: camp for those two guys. To me felt like, Nope,

1107
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 4: that's not a plan, and that's not a Dalel Jones

1108
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 4: is what he is, you know what he is already.

1109
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 4: That's not a plan that I heard, of course, and look,

1110
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 4: the late Jim Mersey was going to be involved in

1111
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 4: the decision making process.

1112
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 5: What why he's an owner? Why is he making decisions

1113
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 5: for who's playing starting quarterback?

1114
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 4: It's not like this is the you know, like even

1115
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 4: though when an owner would be involved just to draft, right,

1116
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 4: the owner has to vet the quarterback you're drafting.

1117
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 5: That's the only thing owners involved in.

1118
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 4: They're not involved in day to day looking at practice

1119
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 4: video DECI used to play quarterback for you, So to me,

1120
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:02,479
Speaker 4: it's it's a mess man. And for some reason, Chris

1121
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 4: Ballo gets a pass every year. I don't get it.

1122
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 4: Andeick retired like eight years ago. Guys, you gotta move on.

1150
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 3: We're connecting with him right now, bet MGM trading manager.

1151
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's getting all the facts and figures set

1152
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 3: to impress us with all this Steelers money that's been

1153
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,959
Speaker 3: flowing in now that Rogers is signed, right, I would

1154
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 3: imagine that's the case.

1155
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 5: I had a lot of questions for him today. I

1156
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 5: want to know.

1157
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 4: Why they adjusted the series price so violently after game one. Yeah,

1158
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 4: it's a bigger it's it's a big, a big adjustment there. Also,

1159
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 4: there's some others have got a hockey question to ask

1160
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 4: him about points leader for the series. It's a lot

1161
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 4: of a lot of you know the hockey. By the way,

1162
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 4: two overtime games so far, one won by the Oilers

1163
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 4: one by four. It does fuck a seven game series, right,

1164
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 4: I mean, this is a it's a heavyweight battle between

1165
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 4: both these teams. They go back to Florida now for

1166
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 4: for for game three tomorrow night. It feels like it's

1167
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 4: gonna be a battle. It's a been a lot of

1168
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 4: fun to watch this so far.

1169
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 3: It has been crazy. The way the last game ended

1170
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 3: with Marsha and it wasn't even a shot. You know,

1171
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 3: He's like Pokole guided the puck in there and it

1172
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 3: went through. It's crazy, crazy, but a lot of entertainment. Right,

1173
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 3: two overtime games, very.

1174
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 4: Good, it's been. Uh, it's been, it's been fantastic. So

1175
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 4: hopefully uh, you know the econor McDavid right now. Uh

1176
01:00:52,880 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 4: so he's minus two ten two have the most points

1177
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 4: of the series and he doesn't yet. So after two

1178
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 4: games he still is not. He didn't have the you know,

1179
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 4: the the leading points. So I'm surprised why that number

1180
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 4: is what we'll ask some questions here. I'm looking forward

1181
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 4: to it.

1182
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll connect with him momentarily. We'll see it might be.

1183
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 2: Highest money line on tonight's game. Boy, I'll tell you

1184
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 2: what that's gonna be. Probably my question to him. They

1185
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 2: want nothing to do with anyone betting, Okay, see money

1186
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 2: line tonight. Yeah, they're they're they're industry and in the

1187
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 2: whole entire industry out of there's no one even well

1188
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 2: not that anyone's not closed. There's a couple of people

1189
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 2: at six to one. He's their minus six to one,

1190
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 2: and uh, there's there's like some minus five five and

1191
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 2: a half to once, so they want nothing to do

1192
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 2: with anyone betting money line tonight. That shows me that maybe,

1193
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 2: uh there was a lot of money line coming in soa.

1194
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 2: But when we connect with him, that's gonna be my angle,

1195
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 2: uh to see if people just throw them in there,

1196
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 2: you know, like like I said the first game, Yeah,

1197
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 2: just throw OKC and minus five to one. That'll just

1198
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 2: enhance my Marlee.

1199
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 5: I'm guilty, crack. I'm sorry, Yeah, I'm guilty.

1200
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 4: The Dream also lost to the Sun, so that that

1201
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 4: my parlay would have won anyways.

1202
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 2: Actually it makes you feel a lot better then, I mean, yeah,

1203
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 2: because this was the only leg of the parlay that

1204
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 2: you lose, you know, a ten point favorite in the

1205
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 2: NBA Hope home you know home favorite in that last

1206
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 2: second shot. Wow, that would have been a terrible event.

1207
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 5: You're not going to like this, crack.

1208
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 4: But they're back in the parlay today with North Carolina.

1209
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 5: It's Arizona and Noon, and I threw.

1210
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 2: In the money line.

1211
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 4: The money line, Yeah, I did the money. New York Mets,

1212
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 4: New York Mets against the Rockies. Never a bad wager.

1213
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 4: North Carolina. I think we'll beat Arizona today. I know, Brian,

1214
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 4: you text me that I was so busy. I'm sorry

1215
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 4: to answer you. Yes, they're about to over in that

1216
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 4: game because there was a eighteen there were there were

1217
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 4: a twenty run scoring. Game one was eighteen to two

1218
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 4: Carolina one. There were eighteen runs bored yesterday between Caroline Arizona. Look,

1219
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 4: it is hot in the Carolina's right now, that balls

1220
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 4: flying out of that park. It's day three between these

1221
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 4: two teams. What's funny is Arizona's pitching has been really

1222
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 4: good the last three weeks until they went up to

1223
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 4: to Chapel Hill. What's funny though, in Durham they're only

1224
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 4: eleven rounds yesterday between Duke of Murray State, So obviously

1225
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 4: those teams are not as good as as UNC and Arizona.

1226
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 4: But I think UNC wins game three today. I got

1227
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 4: a twenty one future of them crack to win the

1228
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 4: Cult World Series. I think that that's seven to one

1229
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 4: before in Super Regional, so hopefully they can get through

1230
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 4: here Beavers I think win tonight. It's a it's a

1231
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 4: you know, crack, Here's I get you right? Minus one

1232
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 4: and fifteen both ways today for Oregon State Florida State. Yeah, right, like,

1233
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 4: how how thoughtful?

1234
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, hey you could you could bring this up

1235
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 3: to Christian Cippolini right now if you would like. We've

1236
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 3: got Christian Cippolini with us bet MGM Trading Manager. Good

1237
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 3: morning to you, Christian. I was just joking around, are

1238
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 3: you You've been busy, like counting up all of these

1239
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 3: wagers on the Steelers to what win the division, get

1240
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 3: to the super Bowl, win the super Bowl, all that

1241
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 3: type of stuff with Rogers now signed, sealed and delivered.

1242
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 3: Is that what's going on with you?

1243
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1244
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 7: We have an interesting every year with Pittsburgh. They are

1245
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 7: one of our more bet on teams. We somehow always

1246
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 7: have liability on them despite them being you know, fifty

1247
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:27,919
Speaker 7: to one, sixty to one every year.

1248
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 5: I guess we just have.

1249
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 7: A cohort of faithful the Steeler fans. But yeah, they're

1250
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 7: they're surprisingly one of the teams that we do have

1251
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 7: the post liability on and for some reason, it's every year.

1252
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 4: So after the thunder lost Game one, you know, they

1253
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 4: were minus seven hundred ish favorite to win the series,

1254
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,959
Speaker 4: that number dropped immediately down to about two seventy five

1255
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 4: to simplease that two fifty it's gone back up a

1256
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 4: little bit. I was able to get that that two

1257
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 4: to seventy five number. Do you think you guys moved

1258
01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 4: it a little bit too violently after that loss? Because

1259
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 4: I just think that that's that still feels cheap for

1260
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 4: a Thunder team that I think is gonna win the series,

1261
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 4: even the pace and a lot of things go right

1262
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter to.

1263
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 5: Win that game.

1264
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah right.

1265
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 7: I mean they're eleven ten and a half point favorite

1266
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 7: today and anytime they're gonna be home, they're gonna be

1267
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 7: pretty close to double digits, you know, barring another Pacers

1268
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 7: victory today something like that. You know, And I think

1269
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 7: that's why I've seen the price kind of come back.

1270
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 7: While it was certainly a shocking first game, you know,

1271
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 7: the numbers and statistics still say that this is still

1272
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 7: the Thunders series to win.

1273
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Christian, I hate Bill Krackenberger here. So you guys

1274
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 2: are minus six to one. A couple of big sports

1275
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 2: books from minus six to one. That shows me you

1276
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 2: probably don't want any more money line people trying to

1277
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 2: enhance their parlays today or whatever, just throwing the money

1278
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 2: line in. Okay. See, and I'm guessing the first game.

1279
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 2: From the people I talk to around town here, I'm

1280
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 2: guessing the first game was really good for you guys.

1281
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 7: Well, the first game was actually just okay. We have

1282
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 7: had more people betting the Pacers, and a lot of

1283
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 7: it just is at that price point. Sometimes it's just

1284
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 7: a juicy kind of number. It's hard to bet the

1285
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 7: Thunder money line it minus five hundred for a lot

1286
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 7: of just casual, regular public players. So you know, we'll

1287
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 7: take Thunder bets that munus ten and a half, but

1288
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 7: you sometimes even that's a little bit steep to the player.

1289
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 7: And this Pacers team has been a team that's come back,

1290
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 7: So even from the live set of things, you know,

1291
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 7: we'll end up taking bets as they go down just

1292
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 7: from what they've done this entire playoffs.

1293
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 3: Gotcha, how much action have you seen Christian on the

1294
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 3: Pacers say, like in game money line, this is the

1295
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 3: fourth time they've done it with a huge comeback win

1296
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 3: in these playoffs when they're down by fifteen in the

1297
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 3: fourth quarter to ok see, do you see a number

1298
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 3: of bets come in where people are like, oh, it's

1299
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 3: perfect time to strike Pacers to win out right.

1300
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, And it's been a bit of the story for

1301
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 7: this entire playoff, because even the Knicks, we're doing that

1302
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 7: a few times. A few series back, there's been a

1303
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 7: lot of this playoffs of a team going down twenty

1304
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 7: points and then coming right back up, So that trend

1305
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 7: is picked up, at least in public settings. So once

1306
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:21,439
Speaker 7: a team goes down by a lot, at this point,

1307
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 7: the book is saying, all right to not come back

1308
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 7: because usually you know you're getting them at plus eight hundred,

1309
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:28,919
Speaker 7: plus one thousand, whatever it may be, how much they're down,

1310
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 7: and that adds up from even a little bit of

1311
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 7: bets here and there. So what we have, Yeah, to

1312
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 7: the answer the question, we have seen a lot of

1313
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 7: action in games.

1314
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 4: The Stanley Cup Finals heads to a game three tomorrow

1315
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 4: to two games, two overtimes, one Oilers win and one

1316
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 4: Panthers win. Where are you guys sitting right now at

1317
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 4: this series? Anything you guys need here in the last stuff,

1318
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 4: it does feel like we'll get into a seven game

1319
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 4: series here, and I don't think any.

1320
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 5: Doubt about that one.

1321
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, as a fan and a bookmaker, just rooting for

1322
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 7: seven in this series for sure, multiple reasons from the

1323
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 7: book side, you know, the more games would get, the

1324
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 7: better and even from this series, oilers are losing outcome

1325
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 7: for us, but they're not a crazy losing outcome. And

1326
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 7: as this series goes on, we have been taking more

1327
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 7: and more Florida action to kind of even things out.

1328
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 7: So really, from the books, for aspective, it's just give

1329
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 7: us more games, more action, much more fun because it

1330
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 7: has been an incredible series so far.

1331
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 2: Christian, going back to this Indiana Oklahoma City game, so

1332
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 2: will you find most of the action again coming in

1333
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 2: tonight closer to game time, because you guys are hanging

1334
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 2: a ten and a half. I only see maybe one

1335
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 2: or two ten and a half on the screen. It's

1336
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 2: all eleven's painted, there's a couple ten, but you guys

1337
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,599
Speaker 2: are at ten and a half. Will you find most

1338
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 2: of your action and probably coming in late on the

1339
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 2: game before the game and also do you expect it

1340
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 2: to be Oklahoma City late or you still may hang

1341
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 2: out around this ten and a half number?

1342
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, we will try to hang around half points

1343
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 7: as much as we can, you know, and in this game,

1344
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 7: as it's not a you know, as we're in a

1345
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 7: double digit spread, there isn't a crazy difference for us,

1346
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 7: and we'd rather just avoid the pushes, and you know,

1347
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 7: we're willing to just say, okay, you know, if you

1348
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 7: want to come bet the Thunder with us, go ahead.

1349
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 7: We're actually we've actually had things flipped from a future's perspective.

1350
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:32,640
Speaker 7: I have to be a bit cryptic and vague from

1351
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:34,639
Speaker 7: what I can share, but we did take a huge

1352
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 7: bet on the Thunder to win the finals before Game one,

1353
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 7: one of the largest bets we've ever taken, I believe,

1354
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 7: one of the largest bets in US history. And the

1355
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 7: varad has splipped things for us where we were rooting

1356
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 7: for the Thunder the whole time, but now now we're

1357
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 7: very much okay with the Pacers winning. Even that's you know,

1358
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 7: just why we're sitting with our line. You know, we're

1359
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 7: okay with taking some Thunder bets today.

1360
01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:02,759

Speaker 6: the NFL's first regular season Sunday is thirteen weeks from today.

1392
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:47,439

1393
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:50,759
Speaker 6: Unquote deep thoughts to consider.

1396
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:01,559

1397
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 3: and then you blink and you're like, holy cow, it's

1398
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 3: a week away. That's how it seems every off season.

1399
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 3: It's just me. You guys feel like that too.

1400
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 5: It feels that way all the time, and and it'll

1401
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 5: be here. It'll be here before we know it.

1402
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:16,360

Speaker 3: for preseason football betting action over there.

1404
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:23,200

1405
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 2: the July calendar. I just figured August first week.

1406
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:27,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, is it?

1407
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:31,000

1409
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 4: put in there, so I'll be serious. Whoever, whoever has

1410
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,559
Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame class. If you look at who's

1411
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,639
Speaker 4: it's two teams typically they have Hall of Fame player

1412
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 4: being inducted that season. I mean it's Chargers, and there's

1413
01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 4: Chargers and two coaches that are gonna want to win

1414
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 4: the game.

1415
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 2: So trying to.

1416
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:00,120
Speaker 3: Numbers Chargers and Lions.

1417
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,599
Speaker 5: It's yeah, it's just two coaches that are gonna want

1418
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 5: to win.

1419
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:04,679
Speaker 4: Like it's any of those games where like the over

1420
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 4: like there's gonna keep the under wall be like the

1421
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:07,879
Speaker 4: totally like thirty.

1422
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 5: Two and a half.

1423
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:09,639
Speaker 3: I just that's what it is.

1424
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:11,400
Speaker 5: Oh it is thirty two and a half.

1425
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 3: Yep, yeah, that's exactly right. I shoulday I should know

1426
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:16,800
Speaker 3: that number.

1427
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:18,639
Speaker 2: I first came up there. I wanted to say, yes,

1428
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 2: bet MGM has it, So thirty two and a half

1429
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 2: one and a half Lions.

1430
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 4: I should know what a preseason number is for the

1431
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:26,640
Speaker 4: haw of end game. But I may or not have

1432
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 4: voager on that many times. The overfield is very appropriate.

1433
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 4: This game was both coaches are going to play to

1434
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 4: the final freaking whistle.

1435
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,799
Speaker 3: You parlayed that with thunder moneyline game two, right.

1436
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 4: I probably I probably should. Yeah, that would be, that

1437
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:43,080
Speaker 4: would be. That'll be smart of me.

1460
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 1: It up player plays.

1462
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 3: live for it, with something you like today, Let's go with.

1463
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:04,760
Speaker 2: Aaron NEI Smith over four and a half rebounds up

1464
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 2: to about a bucks sixty. He dominated the glass in

1465
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 2: game one with twelve boards and actually could have had

1466
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 2: three or four more. Really, so with them our guarden

1467
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 2: SGA puts Nie Smith Don Williams, who does not do

1468
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 2: a great job boxing out, and in game one Thunder

1469
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 2: seam to want to get back on defense rather than

1470
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 2: crash the boards. So I see a lot of opportunities

1471
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:32,599
Speaker 2: here for Nie Smith to get some rebounds and game two,

1472
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 2: assuming to Thunder keep the same game plan. So Nie

1473
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 2: Smith over four and a half rebounds, I'm okay with

1474
01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:42,759
Speaker 2: actually going over five and a half minus one ten. Also,

1475
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 2: but I see I see over four and a half

1476
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 2: minus one fifty five one sixty. I'm also okay going

1477
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,040
Speaker 2: over five and a half minus one ten.

1478
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 4: Right, there are a lot of fat opportunities in this

1479
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 4: game up a Game one. Some of them are very pricey.

1480
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 4: I'll be topping under one point five threes is minus

1481
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 4: one seventy five. I don't think that just feels like

1482
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:06,640
Speaker 4: you have to find a way to maybe parlay that

1483
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:08,760
Speaker 4: with something else. That just feels like a big number

1484
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 4: to lay on that. But I do think when you

1485
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 4: look at at rebounds, uh siakam under seven and a

1486
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 4: half rebounds he had I believe ten in game one. Brian, Yeah,

1487
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:21,960
Speaker 4: he has not had that many rebounds this postseason. He's

1488
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:24,719
Speaker 4: only had. Looking at at his at his game log,

1489
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:27,599
Speaker 4: you end up getting, you know, a lot, a lot

1490
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 4: less than than than that.

1491
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:33,440
Speaker 5: You know, you have what five six, five four.

1492
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 4: And I think tonight, I think the Thunder going to

1493
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 4: crash the glass better. I gonna have the big guys

1494
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 4: in the lineup more often the other one. I like

1495
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 4: in this game I told you to chat over that

1496
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:46,440
Speaker 4: was in the parlay platter. You can get combined assists

1497
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 4: between s J and Hollie Burn over fifteen and a

1498
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 4: half Hali Burn, we know kind of assist in game one.

1499
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:54,800
Speaker 4: I think the Thunder are not going to let him

1500
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 4: get his shot again tonight. You have to pass the

1501
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:00,519
Speaker 4: ball a bunch, and I think SGA today he looks

1502
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:04,479
Speaker 4: to pass the ball more. The Thunder game one had

1503
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 4: very low assists. Brian, That's not how you want to

1504
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 4: be a winning basketball team. And I think with the

1505
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,679
Speaker 4: big guys play more to you, he'll find more ways

1506
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 4: to get some assists. I like combined fifteen and a

1507
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 4: half assists for both those guys.

1508
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:20,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, here where you're coming from. I like your breakdown

1509
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 3: on SGA. That makes sense, especially if the big guys

1510
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 3: get more playing time. I don't know about Halliburton, just

1511
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:30,559
Speaker 3: by the way OKC defends where they just clogged the

1512
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 3: paint and you see that time and time again. Haliburton

1513
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,599
Speaker 3: loves to drive and kick out and there just aren't

1514
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 3: as many opportunities. So I'm curious what he ends up

1515
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 3: with just his assist total here in game two, I'm

1516
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 3: gonna look at, like, which one do you think is grosser?

1517
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 3: I think I know your answer based on a previous pick.

1518
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:53,640
Speaker 3: But there's Chet going back to the Chet, Well, he

1519
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 3: was freaking terrible in games on. Yeah, he's gonna get

1520
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:00,680
Speaker 3: more playing time. They're gonna be much more focused on

1521
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 3: not getting worked on the glass. They actually have a

1522
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 3: rebounding advantage. Out reading rebounded by seventeen in game one

1523
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 3: is a joke. So you've got chet at a discount

1524
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 3: rebounds eight and a half and points fourteen and a half.

1525
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 3: I would imagine you think the points a little bit grosser,

1526
01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 3: Is that right, Jeff?

1527
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll tell you what, though, you get Check to

1528
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 4: have a double double plus one eighty five, I don't,

1529
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:31,320
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't hate that to ten rebounds, yeah,

1530
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 4: you know, just only, but that feels like I'm gonna

1531
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:35,679
Speaker 4: make that bet right now. I think one eight five

1532
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:38,640
Speaker 4: here on bet MGM to have a double double. I

1533
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 4: think he I hate this. For the Thunder to have

1534
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 4: a success that they need tonight, they need Check to

1535
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 4: be a seventeen and twelve guy, like he has to

1536
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 4: play that well today.

1537
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:50,040
Speaker 3: So I love that.

1538
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:54,640
Speaker 4: Look a bounce back zig zag is what we do

1539
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 4: in the postseason, Brian. It's hard to fade because I

1540
01:18:57,400 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 4: think these numbers are going a little bit high, like

1541
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 4: you know, my one seventy five on the OBI topping one.

1542
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 4: But I think this is the way you have to

1543
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:05,840
Speaker 4: do this today is look at Chat to have a

1544
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 4: better game.

1545
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 3: It happens all the time. Man, the last thing you

1546
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 3: saw he was awful. Six points, six rebounds, and you're thinking,

1547
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,799
Speaker 3: oh gosh, he's got to get over fourteen and a half.

1548
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 3: It's not as hard as it might sound, especially against

1549
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 3: the facers not known for lockdown defense. I'm gonna make

1550
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 3: that beat too. I'll take chet double double. But I

1551
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 3: think over eight and a half rebounds over fourteen and

1552
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 3: a half points, both solid plays. I like you, guys

1553
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 3: are firing. We're firing away crack. We're not even scared.

1554
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 3: I gotta have the nerves of a burglar, you know

1555
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 3: what I mean. That's the way it goes in playoff betting.

1556
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 3: All right, coming up next, the adjustments backfired big time.

1557
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 3: Will we see a different approach tonight? That's on the way. Oh,

1558
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 3: welcome and happy Sunday too. You hope your day is

1559
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 3: off to a great start. Well, we see a readjustment

1560
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 3: to the original adjustments tonight. That is on the way. Hey,

1568
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 3: don't win your first bet. All right, guys, So we've

1569
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:25,720
Speaker 3: touched on it here and there. But Mark dagnauld, the

1570
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City thunder head coach, not a great game. Won

1571
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 3: actually pretty freaking terrible. So he tinkered with the starting lineup,

1572
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 3: which was odd. He benched Hartenstein in favor of Case

1573
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:42,679
Speaker 3: and Wallace. I say, oh, okay, you guys won sixty

1574
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,280
Speaker 3: eight games, you have the best point differential in the

1575
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,879
Speaker 3: history of the NBA, and you're tinkering with the starting lineup.

1576
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 3: It's kind of odd. It backfired. He went small ball

1577
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. That backfired big time as well.

1578
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:59,719
Speaker 3: You had Indiana chew up OKC on the boards. Fifty

1579
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 3: six to thirty nine was the rebounding edge for the Pacers.

1580
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 3: Pacers are not a good rebounding team, and they killed Oka.

1581
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:11,680
Speaker 3: See so I don't see how you don't readjust the

1582
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 3: original adjustment and put Hartenstein back in the starting lineup.

1583
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 3: I know chet Holmgren's numbers have been a lot better

1584
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:22,880
Speaker 3: without Hartenstein out there compared to with Hartenstein out there.

1585
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 3: That's the reason for the change. But it backfired. How

1586
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 3: do you run it back in game two? When it

1587
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 3: backfired that badly in game one?

1588
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 4: So I was listening to a podcast. I'll give the

1589
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 4: credit to the podcast when I talked about what Diagnal

1590
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 4: did there, and they made the arguments that he basically

1591
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 4: decided to go with the optimal lineup he thought would

1592
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 4: win them the series before the usual like, oh, we

1593
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 4: figured out second half as the lineup we want. He

1594
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 4: went with that originally. But I think the point you're making,

1595
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 4: Brian is a very good point, where it's like, but

1596
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 4: why you don't know yet? Right, Like, you don't know

1597
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 4: that's the optimal lineup because you haven't played the Pacers

1598
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:08,640
Speaker 4: in the current form the Pacers are in. Just do

1599
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:11,639
Speaker 4: what you did to get you yourself here. Why change

1600
01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 4: anything that you've done. What you've done is gotten you

1601
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 4: to this point, and it very clearly was a tree

1602
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,440
Speaker 4: the error when you get out rebounded by sixteen rebounds

1603
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 4: a team, the Pacers averaged thirty nine rebounds a game

1604
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 4: of the postseason They're not a rebounding team, and yet

1605
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:28,320
Speaker 4: you let them.

1606
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:32,879
Speaker 5: Siakam had ten, Niemien had.

1607
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:37,560
Speaker 4: Twelve, but you let a small forward get twelve rebounds

1608
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 4: with two of your monster big men. And then as

1609
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 4: soon Harnessy came in and immediately got like seven rebounds

1610
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:47,679
Speaker 4: like it. And then I thought that at the very end,

1611
01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 4: I made this mental note, and they even text you, Brian,

1612
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 4: with three minutes left to go. Okay, see went small.

1613
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 4: They came out with three minutes left to win small,

1614
01:22:55,720 --> 01:23:00,120
Speaker 4: and I get it was. It was because the matchup

1615
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 4: of the Indiana big men. By playing on the perimeter right,

1616
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 4: they're not inside, and it is a little bit of

1617
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:08,240
Speaker 4: a mismatch. Obi Topping against check Check doesn't move as well.

1618
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 4: But like if Obi toping and Miles Turning to beat,

1619
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:12,559
Speaker 4: you gi him a high five man. You move on

1620
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 4: to game two. Don't change what you do for Obi

1621
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:19,280
Speaker 4: Topping and Miles Turner. You know it just it did

1622
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:23,880
Speaker 4: that just to me was bad balling. It's his first finals.

1623
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 4: He'll learn Rick Carlisle, by the way, been here before,

1624
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 4: done it before.

1625
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 3: It.

1626
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 4: Think it's hugely important for your success in these moments, crack.

1627
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 5: So this is why I think again.

1628
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 4: Game one, Pacers out rebounded the Thunder by sixteen. The

1629
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:43,599
Speaker 4: Pacers had twenty six offensive turnovers, and their transition defense

1630
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 4: was great because the Thunder only scored eleven points off

1631
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 4: turnovers twenty five turnovers eleven points off turnovers. The Pacers

1632
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 4: shot better than the Thunder that eighteen threes the Thunder

1633
01:23:55,960 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 4: had eleven. I think we see the exactly opposite stat

1634
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:03,280
Speaker 4: line in this game. Or the Thunder make more threes,

1635
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:06,479
Speaker 4: the Thunder have more rebounds, they don't. The thundered off

1636
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:10,040
Speaker 4: twenty five turnovers, Brian, but the Pacers have seven, eight, nine, ten,

1637
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:13,479
Speaker 4: somewhere around the average, and the Thunder went easily even

1638
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 4: though everything's reversed. You know, it seems like that would

1639
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 4: be backwards. But that's I think, because that's what has

1640
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:21,160
Speaker 4: to happen in game too for okayc to win this game.

1641
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 2: You know, I really don't think the adjustments backfire, maybe

1642
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 2: even even at all. I mean, they controlled the Okays.

1643
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:33,320
Speaker 2: He controlled the ball forty seven of forty eight minutes

1644
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 2: of the game. You know, they ConTroll the game. I'm saying,

1645
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 2: you know, like until the Pacers made one of the

1646
01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 2: craziest comebacks in history. I just don't expect them to

1647
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:45,200
Speaker 2: change much of what they did in Game one, except

1648
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 2: maybe double team Haliburton late in the fourth quarter if

1649
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:51,799
Speaker 2: it's a close one. But you know, speaking of coaches,

1650
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 2: you really have to give like give it to Carlisle.

1651
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 2: I mean, no one thought the Pacers could make it

1652
01:24:56,560 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 2: this far. Carlisle has done a masterful job with this team.

1653
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 2: They all play so unselfish and even though Halliburton gets

1654
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:06,800
Speaker 2: the credit for the game winners, you know, any of

1655
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:09,479
Speaker 2: the the five on the floor at anytime really can

1656
01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:12,439
Speaker 2: beat you though. So you know, they really have that

1657
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:15,800
Speaker 2: old saying that team basketball, that's them and they just

1658
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 2: never give up. A big credit to coach Carla for

1659
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 2: this run, even if they don't end up with the championship.

1660
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:26,760
Speaker 3: You just can't get out rebounded the way OKC did.

1661
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 3: That matters, like that's the last thing you have to

1662
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:34,280
Speaker 3: do defensively as a defense, like rebound the ball and

1663
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 3: now you can go to the other end try to score.

1664
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 3: And yet Miles Turner, this is what stands out the

1665
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 3: most to me. So Miles Turner's rebounding prop bet heading

1666
01:25:42,439 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 3: into Game one was five and a half. The guy

1667
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:48,760
Speaker 3: had nine total rebounds. Five of those were offensive rebounds.

1668
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 3: Those are second possessions right there. He almost got his

1669
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 3: over with offensive rebounds. That should never happen. You should

1670
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 3: not have no chet, no Hertenstein at the end of

1671
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:03,760
Speaker 3: a game. And it's the weird thing to me. It's

1672
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:08,720
Speaker 3: like it would be like like Mike Tyson prime Mike

1673
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:13,559
Speaker 3: Tyson walking into a fight and you dictate terms you're

1674
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:16,040
Speaker 3: the favorite. It'd be like Tyson saying, you know, I'm

1675
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 3: not gonna use my uppercut tonight. I'm gonna work the

1676
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 3: jab a lot more. It'd be like, why would you

1677
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 3: do that? This is one of your main advantages. It's

1678
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 3: like OKAC proactively took away one of its advantages. And

1679
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:33,320
Speaker 3: it's like, why you guys are eighty and eighteen heading

1680
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:36,599
Speaker 3: into Game one of the finals and you're tinkering with

1681
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:40,759
Speaker 3: the offensive lineup or with the starting lineup, Like why

1682
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 3: it was just an unnecessary proactive adjustment. That's to me,

1683
01:26:45,320 --> 01:26:48,599
Speaker 3: something that you would just midway through a series and say,

1684
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:51,600
Speaker 3: we're gonna change things up because we've seen it, to

1685
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 3: Jeff's point, play out this way and we're getting worked

1686
01:26:55,400 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 3: by these quicker perimeter players are bigs like Hartenstein is

1687
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 3: a draft on skates out there trying to guard the

1688
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 3: three point line. Then you adjust, but the proactive adjustment

1689
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 3: I just totally disagree with. And the results show you that,

1690
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 3: you know, if it worked out in their favor, I

1691
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 3: tip my cap and be like, hey, that worked out.

1692
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,400
Speaker 3: It didn't work out at all in game one, So

1693
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 3: I don't know how you don't tinker with that again,

1694
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:22,200
Speaker 3: go back to what got you there in game two.

1695
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:28,160
Speaker 4: I agree, and I think that they they're gonna they're

1696
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 4: gonna have to do that tonight, which is why I

1697
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 4: think game one, I don't, you know, I just don't

1698
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 4: know if that it matters obviously because it happened, but

1699
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:44,120
Speaker 4: just feels like this game is gonna be a lot

1700
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:47,880
Speaker 4: different if because I think Okay See will play the

1701
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 4: way that they need to play, probably I imagine goes better

1702
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:56,040
Speaker 4: in their favor.

1703
01:27:56,760 --> 01:28:01,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's gotta be much more of a mitment on

1704
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 3: rebounding just in general. I remember texting you, Jeff at

1705
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 3: the beginning of the game where okayc It's like they

1706
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 3: didn't have on the offensive end, they didn't have anyone

1707
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 3: in the paint to rebound that all were on the perimeter.

1708
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:17,000
Speaker 3: And it was like, Oh, we missed a shot, let's

1709
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 3: go play defense. It's like, what are you guys doing?

1710
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:24,640
Speaker 3: When you look at these rebounding numbers? All five pacers,

1711
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:28,639
Speaker 3: starters hit their over with their rebounding props. A couple

1712
01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:34,040
Speaker 3: of bench guys hit their rebounding overs as well. You should, never, ever, ever,

1713
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 3: as the Thunder, have Aaron Nesmith be the leading rebounder

1714
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 3: in a game. He had twelve rebounds, that is prop

1715
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 3: was four and a half. Ye if you go back

1716
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 3: to the previous series against the Knicks, you know he

1717
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:54,200
Speaker 3: had two seven, seven, three, two and three. He was

1718
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:57,639
Speaker 3: four and two to the under. That's typically around four

1719
01:28:57,640 --> 01:28:59,639
Speaker 3: and a half five and a half rebounds per game,

1720
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 3: and he had twelve against Okay, what are they doing?

1721
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:07,040
Speaker 3: Like Aaron Nesmith should have nowhere near twelve rebounds in

1722
01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:10,640
Speaker 3: a game. He should have twelve rebounds over three games collect.

1723
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:14,000
Speaker 2: DRAF over fifty five is the line that at MGM

1724
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:18,240
Speaker 2: tonight too interesting interesting? Yeah, I know you guys, Let

1725
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:21,000
Speaker 2: me answer you. Jeff. Now, you had long day yesterday,

1726
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:23,160
Speaker 2: long day this morning. Get up, You're gonna fly back.

1727
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 2: If Okay sees up by double digits in the fourth quarter,

1728
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:28,760
Speaker 2: you just you just that's it. You gotta go to

1729
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:30,160
Speaker 2: bed or do you step this whole thing?

1730
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 5: You know me pretty well? How am I going to

1731
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 5: be anyways? Buddy?

1732
01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 2: Right right?

1733
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 3: It?

1734
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:36,960
Speaker 4: Why not matter what the game was closer or not?

1735
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:40,240
Speaker 4: I mean, ione, so someone's asking me something. Yesterday I

1736
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:42,960
Speaker 4: woke up at uh SO Friday night. I coached my

1737
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:46,160
Speaker 4: daughter's at U softball game. It was like ninety one

1738
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:48,240
Speaker 4: degrees at six pm. It was brutal. It was a

1739
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:51,000
Speaker 4: lot of fun though. I got home packed, woke up

1740
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:54,040
Speaker 4: at five o'clock. What's the airport, flew out here, drove

1741
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:56,880
Speaker 4: out to Belmont, was on air for six hours, came

1742
01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:58,479
Speaker 4: back last night with the dinner last I did. He went

1743
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:01,439
Speaker 4: to bed last night at eleven or whatever, and just

1744
01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 4: like nap, just like a nap. And I'm like, I

1745
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:06,800
Speaker 4: just I don't really nap. I just adjust my time

1746
01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:08,439
Speaker 4: I go to bed the next day. I don't know,

1747
01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:11,160
Speaker 4: I just don't. I don't I don't nap, So my

1748
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:14,160
Speaker 4: adjustment will probably go to bed at like halftime.

1749
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:15,639
Speaker 5: I don't know, I mean hopefully.

1750
01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 4: The thing about it is like when you gamble, you know,

1751
01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:21,360
Speaker 4: you just sometimes you just stay up to see if

1752
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:22,360
Speaker 4: your rebound prop pits.

1753
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:24,679
Speaker 5: It's not. Yeah.

1754
01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 4: If Chat were to come out tonight and get me

1755
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:30,240
Speaker 4: like nine and seven in the first half, I'd probably okay.

1756
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:30,800
Speaker 5: Going to bed.

1757
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:34,320
Speaker 4: Unlike the w n B A when that happens and

1758
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:36,840
Speaker 4: they don't go over any other over, they're overs. Guess

1759
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:38,320
Speaker 4: fuck in the NBA, if you have a good first

1760
01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:41,000
Speaker 4: half and you're like a marquee player, you end up

1761
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:44,720
Speaker 4: going over the w n B A is I I

1762
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:49,680
Speaker 4: think nothing, you can you can have you know A.

1763
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 4: The other day we Brian and I were both on

1764
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:56,439
Speaker 4: Jones on Liberty over rebounds four in the first five

1765
01:30:56,520 --> 01:31:01,400
Speaker 4: minutes sprain ankle and I never, I know, this is

1766
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:04,280
Speaker 4: very selfish, talk about your problem. Someone gets hurt, I

1767
01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:07,120
Speaker 4: hope she's okay. Obviously it never happened to the other direction.

1768
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:09,080
Speaker 4: We have the under on someone they get hurt. I

1769
01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:12,640
Speaker 4: think never, never, one time, never, one time. So I

1770
01:31:12,720 --> 01:31:16,720
Speaker 4: will I don't know, man, crack eight o'clock or a

1771
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:17,400
Speaker 4: thirty tonight?

1772
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:18,759
Speaker 5: Which one is it?

1773
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:20,320
Speaker 2: Eight?

1774
01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:21,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1775
01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:24,760
Speaker 5: So ten thirty eleven, you go.

1776
01:31:24,760 --> 01:31:27,679
Speaker 3: Earlier, start time, you can make it. You can get that.

1777
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:28,920
Speaker 5: I don't know.

Speaker 4: All my baseball wagers will be done by then. As well,

1802
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:40,439
Speaker 3: are you in favor of this monstrous change happening? It

1803
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:44,840
Speaker 3: is Fox Sports Radio's Countdown presented by BETMGM. It is

1804
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:50,240
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radios Countdown presented by bet MGM. So you

1805
01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:53,599
Speaker 3: see the headlines all over the place. Amateurism is dead.

1806
01:32:54,560 --> 01:33:00,719
Speaker 3: So the story is schools can now pay athletes directly. Yeah,

1807
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:04,680
Speaker 3: beginning July. First, I'm curious what you guys think about this.

1808
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:07,720
Speaker 3: Are you in favor of the change happening where athletes

1809
01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:10,679
Speaker 3: are being able to they're able to get paid directly

1810
01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:12,040
Speaker 3: from their university?

1811
01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:17,760
Speaker 5: All right? So yeah, go ahead, lots of thoughts about this.

1812
01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:20,320
Speaker 4: We don't talk about college sports, you know, as much

1813
01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:22,960
Speaker 4: on the show because we're typically before NFL Sunday. But

1814
01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:26,599
Speaker 4: you know, I love college football. You love college football, Brian.

1815
01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:33,280
Speaker 4: I'm sure Cracks loves wager on the FCS every Saturday. Look,

1816
01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:37,519
Speaker 4: I don't know if this settlement is good for college sports.

1817
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:43,640
Speaker 4: And let me explain why the NIL when it was

1818
01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:48,240
Speaker 4: originally allowed three thinking now four summers will be three

1819
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:53,400
Speaker 4: summers I believe ago maybe four in July allowed players

1820
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:55,160
Speaker 4: to profile the names you like this Now, of course,

1821
01:33:55,520 --> 01:33:59,120
Speaker 4: with that there's no regulations, which is another story.

1822
01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:01,639
Speaker 5: But with that came.

1823
01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:04,680
Speaker 4: Athletes being able to earn money and earn money different ways, right.

1824
01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:06,559
Speaker 4: One of them was the what we thought it would be.

1825
01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:09,799
Speaker 4: You know, you get sponsored by a brand, a company

1826
01:34:09,800 --> 01:34:12,240
Speaker 4: and you make money that way. And of course, because

1827
01:34:12,280 --> 01:34:15,439
Speaker 4: there was nothing in place, people were getting paid just

1828
01:34:15,439 --> 01:34:17,320
Speaker 4: to show up right to schools. It wasn't what the

1829
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 4: point of it was. But then again, I'd argue that

1830
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:22,320
Speaker 4: who cares, because that's you're in any other support you're

1831
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:23,599
Speaker 4: a lot to just or any other walk of life.

1832
01:34:23,640 --> 01:34:25,439
Speaker 4: You can get paid whatever someone's willing to pay you.

1833
01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:30,720
Speaker 4: No one really batsny at that, right, And it was

1834
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:34,240
Speaker 4: going along ass as it was. And what it did

1835
01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:36,000
Speaker 4: for college football is it gave us a little bit

1836
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:38,840
Speaker 4: of parody Brian, Right, Like the top schools weren't getting

1837
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:39,880
Speaker 4: all the recruits that.

1838
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:40,280
Speaker 5: They used to.

1839
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:42,320
Speaker 4: And last year we had a year when we had

1840
01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:45,880
Speaker 4: a lot of good teams, right, or how's it end

1841
01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:48,280
Speaker 4: up being the best team in the country. And this

1842
01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:51,920
Speaker 4: settlement what it does is it sort of is the

1843
01:34:51,960 --> 01:34:55,679
Speaker 4: first wave of compliance of nil era.

1844
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:56,360
Speaker 5: Correct.

1845
01:34:57,880 --> 01:35:01,880
Speaker 4: But two, it's going to limit the earning power of

1846
01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:04,600
Speaker 4: athletes because what it's gonna do is it takes this

1847
01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:07,840
Speaker 4: twenty million dollars pool, and along with the twenty million

1848
01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:12,040
Speaker 4: dollar pool, you now have to register the money you're

1849
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:16,479
Speaker 4: making with the Compliance Department. Third party nils, I believe

1850
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:20,599
Speaker 4: are going to be outlawed and it's just gonna stop

1851
01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 4: the earning power, you know. Example, and this is what

1852
01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:25,439
Speaker 4: I think to me, it should be for the Texas

1853
01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:30,559
Speaker 4: Tech softball pitcher. Right, she's incredible. She got a million

1854
01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:33,680
Speaker 4: dollars to go from Stanford to texta yeah ya bad

1855
01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:37,559
Speaker 4: for Stanford, sure, absolutely good for Texas Tech. She got

1856
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:40,040
Speaker 4: up to the College World Series first one ever. There's

1857
01:35:40,080 --> 01:35:42,599
Speaker 4: the only reason why she pitched incredible and then she's

1858
01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:45,920
Speaker 4: got another million dollars like a day before the settlement's happened.

1859
01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:49,640
Speaker 4: According to what I've read, Brian, the settlement would have

1860
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:53,880
Speaker 4: limited her to zero dollars. That collective would not be allowed.

1861
01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:57,559
Speaker 4: It's a third party collective would not be allowed. That

1862
01:35:57,680 --> 01:35:59,439
Speaker 4: to me doesn't fee out the spirit of what NL

1863
01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:02,280
Speaker 4: should be. This feels like, you know, control, and this

1864
01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:04,280
Speaker 4: came from a lawsuit. I think the players are gonna

1865
01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:06,600
Speaker 4: regret that they filed this lawsuit. And this was a

1866
01:36:06,600 --> 01:36:10,240
Speaker 4: settlement and so it's twenty million dollars the schools allowed

1867
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:12,400
Speaker 4: to pay the players. There is some back pay. My

1868
01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:14,320
Speaker 4: wife asked me. I'm like, babe, I'm old. I know

1869
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:18,160
Speaker 4: backpay for me. I promise you on that one. And

1870
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:23,719
Speaker 4: I I just don't think this is gonna last long.

1871
01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 4: It's gonna be very detrimental schools that can't afford to

1872
01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:32,080
Speaker 4: pay their players this money. There's a lot of schools

1873
01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:36,880
Speaker 4: that are uh, not profitable in athletic department, and now

1874
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:40,040
Speaker 4: they're gonna be less profitable. It's potentially gonna get rid

1875
01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:41,320
Speaker 4: of a lot of sports because you had to. You

1876
01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:43,479
Speaker 4: had to find the twenty millions somewhere to pay these players.

1877
01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:45,120
Speaker 4: And it's gonna it's gonna come from the budget of

1878
01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:48,800
Speaker 4: your lacrosse team, your wrestling team, your swimming team.

1879
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:50,160
Speaker 5: It's gonna come at the expense of that.

1880
01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:54,439
Speaker 4: And Brent, I just don't think this is good for

1881
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:56,880
Speaker 4: what the goal of this is supposed to be, which

1882
01:36:56,920 --> 01:36:58,559
Speaker 4: is a player is making as much money as they can.

1883
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:00,880
Speaker 4: And I get get people, I get it, I get it.

1884
01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:02,719
Speaker 4: You're gonna say, well, there needs to be some regulation,

1885
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:05,519
Speaker 4: but why we don't do that in any other we

1886
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 4: don't do that any other walk of life. If if

1887
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:10,040
Speaker 4: I told you I was making X amount of money here,

1888
01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:13,360
Speaker 4: you wouldn't be like, regulate his salary, you wouldn't. They're

1889
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:17,040
Speaker 4: getting paid to play the sport. So I don't like it.

1890
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:19,080
Speaker 4: I don't think it's good for what the intended goal

1891
01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:20,240
Speaker 4: of this is. And I'm curious.

1892
01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:23,280
Speaker 5: Hell on the settlement last, very good take, Very good take.

1893
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:25,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm in favor of some changes, but

1894
01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:28,800
Speaker 2: I think the NCAA needs to regulate this better and

1895
01:37:29,520 --> 01:37:31,280
Speaker 2: there won't need to be a restriction to some sort

1896
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:34,240
Speaker 2: of cap so that the schools with the most money,

1897
01:37:34,280 --> 01:37:37,479
Speaker 2: like you said, can't just dominate every sports season.

1898
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:41,320
Speaker 4: So but the thing about a crack is that Double

1899
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:44,200
Speaker 4: A had their opportunity to regulate and lost, Like.

1900
01:37:44,200 --> 01:37:45,680
Speaker 5: This is actually nothing to do with that Double A,

1901
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:48,880
Speaker 5: and they got sued and this is a settlement.

1902
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:52,880
Speaker 4: Because of that, Like they've lost all the power in

1903
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:55,439
Speaker 4: this situation because they didn't have the foresight to see

1904
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:55,960
Speaker 4: this coming.

1905
01:37:56,520 --> 01:37:57,559
Speaker 5: Everyone else saw it coming.

1906
01:37:57,560 --> 01:38:01,080
Speaker 4: Everyone else saw the lawsuits and saw that eventually they

1907
01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:02,600
Speaker 4: were gonna lose. And the players don't have to be

1908
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:05,320
Speaker 4: get paid. And I just opened the door to a

1909
01:38:05,320 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 4: lot of a lot of issue. Even the judge in

1910
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:10,200
Speaker 4: her ruling said, like, there's a lot of questions you

1911
01:38:10,240 --> 01:38:11,760
Speaker 4: guys have. I don't have answers for it right now.

1912
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:14,360
Speaker 4: I don't know what to tell you if this breaks

1913
01:38:14,360 --> 01:38:17,680
Speaker 4: antitrust laws. I don't know if this limits the the

1914
01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:20,160
Speaker 4: you know, the the earning power. I don't have answers

1915
01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:22,800
Speaker 4: for you right now. We're starting with the settlement and

1916
01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:26,799
Speaker 4: moving it along. And you know, if I was a school,

1917
01:38:28,240 --> 01:38:30,120
Speaker 4: it's interesting how you allocate the money, right because, like,

1918
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:32,080
Speaker 4: let's say Organ, I'm an organ Obviously, I'm an organ

1919
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:34,400
Speaker 4: hat right here, I walk to the airport with my

1920
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:40,160
Speaker 4: duck hat. You know, if if you have Organ is

1921
01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:43,360
Speaker 4: one of the schools that actually makes money right their

1922
01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:49,519
Speaker 4: athletic department. It's very high functioning. The NIL mostly covers

1923
01:38:49,560 --> 01:38:52,040
Speaker 4: football players, right, we know that. So do you take

1924
01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:55,000
Speaker 4: the twenty million and then disperse it around the rest

1925
01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:58,479
Speaker 4: of the athletes? A lot of schools gonna and then

1926
01:38:58,479 --> 01:39:01,719
Speaker 4: you're to run to Title nine issues. It's just and

1927
01:39:01,720 --> 01:39:04,800
Speaker 4: and also too like states have their own laws when

1928
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,000
Speaker 4: it comes to n I L. And this is not

1929
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:10,559
Speaker 4: a federal law. It's just a lawsuit settlement. So do

1930
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:13,720
Speaker 4: you comply with your state law. Do you comply with

1931
01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:16,760
Speaker 4: the settlement? Do you opt out of the settlement? And

1932
01:39:16,760 --> 01:39:22,640
Speaker 4: then you're basically not ensible anymore. We've had schools that

1933
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:25,559
Speaker 4: have declassified from Division one down to D three over this.

1934
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:29,040
Speaker 4: Already one of the schools that made the NIT Tournament

1935
01:39:29,040 --> 01:39:30,920
Speaker 4: this year, I think just went down to D three

1936
01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:31,719
Speaker 4: in the future.

1937
01:39:32,240 --> 01:39:39,479
Speaker 5: It's just it's really messy. And you know, I I don't.

1938
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:42,599
Speaker 5: I don't like where this is headed, honestly, but we'll see.

1939
01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:44,479
Speaker 4: I mean, we'll have a couple of years of enforcement

1940
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:48,479
Speaker 4: of this and again the last pushback I'll say here

1941
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:51,720
Speaker 4: and you know, Crack you mentioned this, and you know

1942
01:39:52,240 --> 01:39:55,960
Speaker 4: I I think we look at the athletes getting paid

1943
01:39:56,000 --> 01:40:01,439
Speaker 4: and we think that certain schools are only doing the payments,

1944
01:40:01,479 --> 01:40:04,519
Speaker 4: and it's actually not true. Like the number one basketball

1945
01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:06,720
Speaker 4: recruit went to BYU, I believe, right, Brian, I think

1946
01:40:06,760 --> 01:40:09,320
Speaker 4: number one basketball co coach you went to BYU, number

1947
01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:12,400
Speaker 4: one transfer quarterback in the country went to Duke your

1948
01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:15,000
Speaker 4: Texas Tech made their first softball appearance.

1949
01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:17,240
Speaker 5: Yes, in the end, maybe the SEC.

1950
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:19,519
Speaker 4: Schools are winning a lot of these championships, who knows,

1951
01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:22,160
Speaker 4: but not it didn't happen in football and the SEC

1952
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:24,439
Speaker 4: is trying to burn down the playoff format because they

1953
01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:26,920
Speaker 4: lost two years in a row in the postseason.

1954
01:40:27,400 --> 01:40:29,120
Speaker 5: It's helping other schools.

1955
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:31,880
Speaker 4: I have a friendline who coaches at a at a

1956
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:35,719
Speaker 4: group of five school and it's helping him keep players

1957
01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:37,840
Speaker 4: that they finally put together in an l package.

1958
01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:38,439
Speaker 5: You know.

1959
01:40:38,640 --> 01:40:44,400
Speaker 4: It's it's it's giving more opportunity for players to earn

1960
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:48,439
Speaker 4: some money and go to different places. And the evidence

1961
01:40:48,520 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 4: is there for that. And I don't know why we

1962
01:40:50,520 --> 01:40:53,679
Speaker 4: pretend it's only helping Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State way.

1963
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:57,200
Speaker 3: Right, It's not. Well, that's the thing, man, It's it's

1964
01:40:57,240 --> 01:41:00,799
Speaker 3: not as straightforward as are you in fa of athletes

1965
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:04,080
Speaker 3: getting paid. This is the opposite of that. This is

1966
01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:07,120
Speaker 3: not only that they're getting paid, it's how they're getting paid.

1967
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:10,400
Speaker 3: And Jeff, to your point, this settlement could be at

1968
01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:14,600
Speaker 3: times limiting the player's earning potential. And then there's the

1969
01:41:14,680 --> 01:41:17,880
Speaker 3: ripple effect where it's, well, we got to get rid

1970
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:19,960
Speaker 3: of the swim team and the bowling team. Sorry, they

1971
01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:22,040
Speaker 3: just got to hit the road. We gotta find money

1972
01:41:22,040 --> 01:41:26,160
Speaker 3: to pay these other athletes. That sucks. So you could

1973
01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:29,360
Speaker 3: be in favor of athletes getting paid fundamentally, but how

1974
01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:32,080
Speaker 3: they're getting paid you might oppose, and the ripple effect

1975
01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 3: you might really oppose. I just think universities should be

1976
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:40,120
Speaker 3: able to offer these sports where you have athletes that

1977
01:41:40,160 --> 01:41:43,880
Speaker 3: are competing and experiencing things that it could be some

1978
01:41:43,920 --> 01:41:47,000
Speaker 3: of your fondest memories in life and learning lessons that

1979
01:41:47,080 --> 01:41:49,960
Speaker 3: you can apply to your life. And now you just

1980
01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:53,280
Speaker 3: don't offer it because of the ripple effect of the settlement.

1981
01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:56,400
Speaker 3: That sucks. I hate that idea. Walk ons are an

1982
01:41:56,520 --> 01:41:59,240
Speaker 3: endangered species. Now think of some of these walk on

1983
01:41:59,400 --> 01:42:04,960
Speaker 3: stories with Baker Mayfield JJ Watt is what a three

1984
01:42:05,080 --> 01:42:08,000
Speaker 3: time Defensive Player of the Year in the NFL. Imagine

1985
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:10,760
Speaker 3: if he can't walk on, you know what I mean? Like,

1986
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:14,160
Speaker 3: who's the next guy that can't walk on? Like those

1987
01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:17,280
Speaker 3: type of stories I hate so well, you can oppose.

1988
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:21,640
Speaker 4: Them quickly, bro Explain the walk on thing, because this

1989
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:24,160
Speaker 4: is important. I did not mention this, and I don't

1990
01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:25,760
Speaker 4: know what I actually don't know what it ended up

1991
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:28,280
Speaker 4: being in this settlement. Explain the walk because for those

1992
01:42:28,320 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 4: who don't know, you know, they're like they're eighty five

1993
01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:33,920
Speaker 4: scholarship players. Now scholarship limits I think are changing as well.

1994
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:36,519
Speaker 4: In this settlement, and football eighty five scholarship players, and

1995
01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:39,639
Speaker 4: then you have a certain number of players twenty twenty

1996
01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:41,760
Speaker 4: five thirty that just walk on. They pay their own

1997
01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:44,679
Speaker 4: way to school. They're on the team, though, and there's

1998
01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:46,800
Speaker 4: no stories we see every year of them earning scholarships,

1999
01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:50,920
Speaker 4: which can happen. So every sport has walk on. Every sport,

2000
01:42:50,920 --> 01:42:53,000
Speaker 4: by the way, does not also have full scholarships. So

2001
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:56,679
Speaker 4: explain So, so what's the settlement doing for the walk ons?

2002
01:42:57,080 --> 01:42:59,760
Speaker 3: So it's not quite clear there's going to be some

2003
01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:02,920
Speaker 3: sort of roster cap, like is it going to be

2004
01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:05,280
Speaker 3: one fifteen, is it going to be one oh five,

2005
01:43:05,520 --> 01:43:08,000
Speaker 3: what's it going to be exactly? We don't know that.

2006
01:43:08,600 --> 01:43:12,400
Speaker 3: So it's like almost everybody on the roster is going

2007
01:43:12,439 --> 01:43:15,680
Speaker 3: to be under some sort of scholarship, maybe a partial scholarship,

2008
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:18,600
Speaker 3: but you're not going to have, as I understand it,

2009
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:22,080
Speaker 3: the old school, I'm just walking on. If I earn

2010
01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:24,760
Speaker 3: a ride, great, If not, I'm still here. I want

2011
01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:26,240
Speaker 3: to be Rudy, you know, I want to be the

2012
01:43:26,240 --> 01:43:29,880
Speaker 3: next Rudy two point zero. It doesn't seem like that's

2013
01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:34,559
Speaker 3: going to be the way it evolves. And so if

2014
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:38,439
Speaker 3: you have rosters that are capped, like Ryan Day could

2015
01:43:38,479 --> 01:43:40,360
Speaker 3: be like, hey man, we'd love to have you walk

2016
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:43,400
Speaker 3: on and be an outside linebacker. We just don't have

2017
01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:47,240
Speaker 3: a roster spot for you to do that. That's where

2018
01:43:47,280 --> 01:43:50,559
Speaker 3: it seems to be headed, and that sucks like that.

2019
01:43:51,479 --> 01:43:54,200
Speaker 3: I don't know why it would be, you know, capped

2020
01:43:54,520 --> 01:43:58,000
Speaker 3: like that. And again you're talking about experiences and what

2021
01:43:58,120 --> 01:44:03,120
Speaker 3: a university should be. Therefore, you're supposed to like give

2022
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:07,640
Speaker 3: opportunities or have opportunities available instead of limiting those opportunities.

2023
01:44:07,640 --> 01:44:08,599
Speaker 3: And that's where it's headed.

2024
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:12,400
Speaker 2: Hey, Brian, I never met Jeff's wife, but I want

2025
01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:15,160
Speaker 2: to meet her. She's so cool. You don't and get

2026
01:44:15,360 --> 01:44:19,920
Speaker 2: I pick up little things right, electric Daisy Carnival comes

2027
01:44:19,920 --> 01:44:22,360
Speaker 2: out here, party and order French. I would love to

2028
01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:24,559
Speaker 2: go to Saratoga and be with the nice hats and

2029
01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:30,360
Speaker 2: the fancy and now for the ultimate. Oh honey, can

2030
01:44:30,400 --> 01:44:33,479
Speaker 2: you see if you're entitled to any back pay? I

2031
01:44:33,520 --> 01:44:36,280
Speaker 2: love this girl. I don't know, yeah, I love that

2032
01:44:37,720 --> 01:44:41,320
Speaker 2: she's a best.

2033
01:44:41,680 --> 01:44:43,600
Speaker 4: She's like, she's asked me about the back pay. I

2034
01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:47,799
Speaker 4: was like, I'm graduating seven. I think I think twenty

2035
01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:52,840
Speaker 4: sixteen is the back pay for this settle. So yes,

2036
01:44:52,880 --> 01:44:54,559
Speaker 4: she did ask what she did ask about that, Yeah,

2037
01:44:54,760 --> 01:44:56,439
Speaker 4: probably should just want to go spend the money today

2038
01:44:56,439 --> 01:44:59,439
Speaker 4: on something. So she wanted to know she had she

2039
01:44:59,479 --> 01:45:01,200
Speaker 4: had a purchased good day. I can't even tell you

2040
01:45:01,240 --> 01:45:04,040
Speaker 4: guys on air that was so it was so egregious.

2041
01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:07,240
Speaker 4: I was like, you gotta, you gotta, we gotta, we

2042
01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:11,280
Speaker 4: gotta stop for a few but she worked. Yeah, yeah,

2043
01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:13,080
Speaker 4: she makes it figure she's she can spend her own

2044
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:16,360
Speaker 4: money how she wants. Yeah, she's executive at the hospital,

2045
01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:18,599
Speaker 4: so she surely can can spend them. But like sometimes

2046
01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:20,320
Speaker 4: I'm like, babe, like that's why you're asking for the

2047
01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:21,880
Speaker 4: extra money from the settlement. We got to pay for

2048
01:45:21,880 --> 01:45:22,719
Speaker 4: this purchase you made.

2049
01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:27,519
Speaker 3: So it was it was that the bet that Christian

2050
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:30,320
Speaker 3: Sippolini was talking about, like she back in the thunder,

2051
01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:31,200
Speaker 3: is that what it was.

2052
01:45:32,439 --> 01:45:35,000
Speaker 4: So what I was with a buddy mine yesterday doing

2053
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:36,720

2099
01:47:49,840 --> 01:47:52,200
Speaker 3: It's guy like the Pacers on offense. We're moving the ball.

2100
01:47:52,200 --> 01:47:53,760
Speaker 3: We're looking for a shot. We don't have time to

2101
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:56,880
Speaker 3: dilly dally over here. It's like the Phoenix Suns seven

2102
01:47:57,000 --> 01:48:00,640
Speaker 3: seconds or less. ERA with Steve Nash. You know so

2103
01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:04,599
Speaker 3: numerous topics. Let me start this off. Props to al Karize.

2104
01:48:04,600 --> 01:48:07,200
Speaker 3: I don't know he's gonna the second set. This is

2105
01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:10,360
Speaker 3: what I love about high level sports where just nothing

2106
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:13,960
Speaker 3: is given. He was down for love in the second

2107
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:17,680
Speaker 3: set and rallied to force a tiebreaker. Like there are

2108
01:48:17,720 --> 01:48:20,160
Speaker 3: some even though it's a championship match that will be

2109
01:48:20,200 --> 01:48:23,439
Speaker 3: like it's not in the cards. Second set. Center hasn't

2110
01:48:23,520 --> 01:48:26,599
Speaker 3: dropped a set yet at the French Open. I'm down

2111
01:48:26,640 --> 01:48:29,400
Speaker 3: for love. Let me just punt this set and try

2112
01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 3: to get him in the third, and all of a

2113
01:48:31,120 --> 01:48:33,120
Speaker 3: sudden we're in a tiebreaker. That's what I love like

2114
01:48:33,400 --> 01:48:37,040
Speaker 3: playoff football. It could be second and one and you're thinking,

2115
01:48:37,080 --> 01:48:38,880
Speaker 3: all right, they're gonna move the chains, and there are

2116
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:41,479
Speaker 3: defenses that are like, no, you get nothing on second down,

2117
01:48:41,479 --> 01:48:43,559
Speaker 3: you get nothing on third down. You got a pun

2118
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:45,960
Speaker 3: on fourth and one. Have fun with that. I love that.

2119
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:49,920
Speaker 3: It's beautiful right there. Okay, as far as college baseball goes,

2120
01:48:50,120 --> 01:48:52,160
Speaker 3: what are your thoughts are you've been watching the tournament,

2121
01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:54,720
Speaker 3: anything that you've been betting on? Any angles you like?

2122
01:48:56,560 --> 01:48:59,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will if it ever gets posted somewhere, I'll

2123
01:48:59,760 --> 01:49:03,120
Speaker 4: take North Carolina's team total over I think for today yeah,

2124
01:49:03,400 --> 01:49:05,559
Speaker 4: and then I think I think Oregon State wins tonight

2125
01:49:05,640 --> 01:49:08,920
Speaker 4: in the late game against Florida State. Those have been

2126
01:49:08,920 --> 01:49:10,639
Speaker 4: low scoring games. The under hit in the first game

2127
01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:13,920
Speaker 4: that are hitting the second game fairly easily. I do

2128
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:16,880
Speaker 4: think the overall FEMA today will be overs. It's day three.

2129
01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:18,800
Speaker 4: If you're in day three, some are in day two,

2130
01:49:19,840 --> 01:49:24,439
Speaker 4: but day three, man, the arms are not there. If

2131
01:49:24,439 --> 01:49:27,760
Speaker 4: you're looking for how to play some of these game

2132
01:49:27,800 --> 01:49:32,840
Speaker 4: threes today overs baby overs, I think Carolina still looks

2133
01:49:32,840 --> 01:49:35,680
Speaker 4: like the best team in the country you go, even

2134
01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:39,880
Speaker 4: with the loss yesterday. So I've been playing those those

2135
01:49:39,960 --> 01:49:41,760
Speaker 4: overs and again Carolina.

2136
01:49:42,360 --> 01:49:43,960
Speaker 5: Team total over.

2137
01:49:43,960 --> 01:49:45,360
Speaker 4: I don't know if I can even find some some

2138
01:49:45,560 --> 01:49:47,640
Speaker 4: they don't offer team totals very often. It's hard to

2139
01:49:47,640 --> 01:49:49,479
Speaker 4: find them. I don't see anything up yet for a

2140
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:52,439
Speaker 4: team total. You can take it live sometimes, so maybe

2141
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:54,599
Speaker 4: that's the way to play it. I'm also in New York.

2142
01:49:54,640 --> 01:49:54,880
Speaker 5: I don't know.

2143
01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:58,920
Speaker 4: Maybe New York doesn't offer college team totals either. Sometimes

2144
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:03,240
Speaker 4: I don't think you do, so maybe a different sports

2145
01:50:03,280 --> 01:50:05,320
Speaker 4: book you can find a different location.

2146
01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:06,920
Speaker 5: I'm curious what it's at.

2147
01:50:07,479 --> 01:50:09,920
Speaker 2: New York's really tough on their rules. I tell you

2148
01:50:10,280 --> 01:50:12,559
Speaker 2: they are really tough on there. When they wrote the

2149
01:50:12,640 --> 01:50:15,920
Speaker 2: rules there, you understand, New York's getting more tax money

2150
01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:19,360
Speaker 2: gambling tax money than anywhere else. As a matter of fact,

2151
01:50:19,600 --> 01:50:22,640
Speaker 2: the sportsbooks originally said, oh, we're just gonna we'll have

2152
01:50:22,680 --> 01:50:25,080
Speaker 2: a presence in New York. We're giving them fifty percent

2153
01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:28,200
Speaker 2: compared to other states like Nevada they give like ten

2154
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:32,360
Speaker 2: less even. And people just said, oh, well, you know,

2155
01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:35,040
Speaker 2: the sportsbook said, oh, we'll have branding there, We'll just

2156
01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:37,840
Speaker 2: we'll just just have a presence. Little did they know

2157
01:50:38,640 --> 01:50:42,160
Speaker 2: New Yorkers are the biggest gamblers there are. New York

2158
01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:46,280
Speaker 2: is the sports betting capital of the United States. So

2159
01:50:46,520 --> 01:50:49,720
Speaker 2: there's so much value that even with the even with

2160
01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:52,800
Speaker 2: that tax, sportsbooks are making money in New York. That's

2161
01:50:52,800 --> 01:50:54,479
Speaker 2: how much volume is in New York.

2162
01:50:55,080 --> 01:50:58,559
Speaker 4: The total just went to fourteen in Arizona, North Carolina.

2163
01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:01,679
Speaker 4: So people looking at the same way I am here

2164
01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:06,799
Speaker 4: with with Carolina and Arizona just scoring a lot of runs.

2165
01:51:07,200 --> 01:51:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be another shootout. How about MLB crack,

2166
01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:14,360
Speaker 3: You've got your eye on the Dodgers here they lead

2167
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:19,519
Speaker 3: their division, but fourteen pitchers on the ir which is

2168
01:51:19,600 --> 01:51:22,519
Speaker 3: wild right there. You think they can repeat with the

2169
01:51:22,520 --> 01:51:25,160
Speaker 3: makeshift staff right here what they did last year. Or

2170
01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:28,599
Speaker 3: you know what's crazy to me is if you look

2171
01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:31,839
Speaker 3: at the standings, so they're playing my Cardinals here. Sure,

2172
01:51:31,960 --> 01:51:35,880
Speaker 3: the Cardinals and the Dodgers have very similar records. Now

2173
01:51:35,920 --> 01:51:39,480
Speaker 3: think about this. Dodgers thirty eight and twenty seven, Cardinals

2174
01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:42,960
Speaker 3: thirty six and twenty eight, so very similar. The Dodgers

2175
01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:45,720
Speaker 3: lead their division by a game over the Padres and

2176
01:51:45,760 --> 01:51:50,040
Speaker 3: the Giants. The Cardinals trail their division by four games.

2177
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:52,800
Speaker 3: That's how good the Cubs offense has been so far

2178
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:57,040
Speaker 3: this season. But very similar records between the Cards and Dodgers.

2179
01:51:57,080 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 3: That's pretty telling, right crack.

2180
01:51:58,479 --> 01:52:01,479
Speaker 2: If you took a bet right now, I'm sorry, beginning

2181
01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:04,040
Speaker 2: of the season, how many teams at this point of

2182
01:52:04,040 --> 01:52:07,439
Speaker 2: the season would uh, you know, if you go ahead,

2183
01:52:07,560 --> 01:52:09,680
Speaker 2: if you had to use a spread, you would say, oh,

2184
01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:12,040
Speaker 2: Dodgers are gonna have the best record in baseball. Well,

2185
01:52:12,560 --> 01:52:16,920
Speaker 2: not true at all. As a matter of fact, one, two, three, four,

2186
01:52:17,200 --> 01:52:20,320
Speaker 2: there's four teams that have better records in baseball than

2187
01:52:20,360 --> 01:52:23,120
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. And I'm not saying that Dodgers still lead

2188
01:52:23,160 --> 01:52:24,519
Speaker 2: I think over San Diego by one.

2189
01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:28,240
Speaker 5: I'll always one Giants and ones.

2190
01:52:29,680 --> 01:52:29,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2191
01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:34,640
Speaker 2: But but however, you know, I'm anti anything public. So

2192
01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:38,120
Speaker 2: even though they are leading and they've lost four of

2193
01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:40,599
Speaker 2: their last so they lost six of their last ten,

2194
01:52:43,240 --> 01:52:45,800
Speaker 2: I can't I can't. Yeah, I can't mess with the

2195
01:52:46,640 --> 01:52:49,120
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers and any kind of futures or anything. Though.

2196
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:51,760
Speaker 2: But at the end of the show, here, I have

2197
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:55,160
Speaker 2: a game that starts at twelve. I'm sorry, you get

2198
01:52:55,200 --> 01:52:58,680
Speaker 2: twelve noon Eastern time, and I'm gonna have that in

2199
01:52:58,800 --> 01:53:00,639
Speaker 2: my first round of picks here.

2200
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:01,280
Speaker 5: Nice.

2201
01:53:01,880 --> 01:53:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be a college a college baseball total,

2202
01:53:05,800 --> 01:53:08,599
Speaker 2: and so that that's I heard you guys talking about

2203
01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:11,519
Speaker 2: college baseball totals. So we'll have one of them. And

2204
01:53:11,560 --> 01:53:14,200
Speaker 2: then I'm going to have a pretty strong first five.

2205
01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:15,840
Speaker 2: So there we go, looking forward to that.

2206
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:17,800
Speaker 5: I think I could guess your first five.

2207
01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:20,719
Speaker 2: This is the you know, Jeff, you're right, because we've

2208
01:53:20,760 --> 01:53:25,040
Speaker 2: been doing so well, Jeff and I on the same team.

2209
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:29,000
Speaker 2: I may surprise you though. Actually I did take.

2210
01:53:29,120 --> 01:53:32,760
Speaker 4: I did take, by the way, I bet MGM under

2211
01:53:33,240 --> 01:53:35,439
Speaker 4: one and a half runs for the first three innings

2212
01:53:35,640 --> 01:53:40,000
Speaker 4: between the Pirates and Phillies today plus one hundred, no plus.

2213
01:53:40,240 --> 01:53:41,880
Speaker 5: I think it's plus plus one fifty.

2214
01:53:41,920 --> 01:53:44,120
Speaker 4: Maybe I don't because Skeens is kitchen and they and

2215
01:53:44,200 --> 01:53:47,320
Speaker 4: they just don't I looked for this wager. I don't

2216
01:53:47,320 --> 01:53:50,920
Speaker 4: think it's offered on bet MGM. But you can bet

2217
01:53:51,080 --> 01:53:54,400
Speaker 4: a pitcher to win or lose a game. The Pirates

2218
01:53:54,479 --> 01:53:57,760
Speaker 4: never win the game Skan's pitches. So if you can

2219
01:53:57,840 --> 01:54:01,720
Speaker 4: find like a no on that one, that's definitely worth

2220
01:54:01,760 --> 01:54:03,720
Speaker 4: an option today with with Skins on the Mount, I mean,

2221
01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:08,280
Speaker 4: he's been incredible. Uh, they just don't win the games

2222
01:54:08,320 --> 01:54:11,400
Speaker 4: he pitches. You know, that's unfortunate, gotcha.

2223
01:54:11,560 --> 01:54:13,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's a beautiful thing. They they might end

2224
01:54:13,680 --> 01:54:16,280
Speaker 3: up winning the game, but he doesn't get to win.

2225
01:54:16,800 --> 01:54:18,720
Speaker 3: And you could win your bet that way too. That's

2226
01:54:18,720 --> 01:54:21,920
Speaker 3: a beautiful thing right where you know he's he's in

2227
01:54:22,080 --> 01:54:24,160
Speaker 3: line for the win with a two to one lead,

2228
01:54:24,280 --> 01:54:26,960
Speaker 3: and the Phillies tie it up and it's like, well

2229
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:29,240
Speaker 3: he can no longer win the game, and you're like, whoa,

2230
01:54:29,360 --> 01:54:31,559
Speaker 3: we cash. You know, it's a beautiful way to win.

2231
01:54:32,320 --> 01:54:35,240
Speaker 3: By the way, super fast TIBs fired. What do you

2232
01:54:35,320 --> 01:54:39,600
Speaker 3: think Tom Thibodeau gets the acts you in favor of

2233
01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:40,640
Speaker 3: that or crazy?

2234
01:54:41,200 --> 01:54:43,640
Speaker 4: I just don't know what who you're hiring, who's better?

2235
01:54:43,680 --> 01:54:48,280
Speaker 4: That's always my thing. Someone I don't think better than TIBs.

2236
01:54:48,600 --> 01:54:48,920
Speaker 5: I don't know.

2237
01:54:49,240 --> 01:54:53,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I picture TIBs watching Game one of the Finals,

2238
01:54:53,920 --> 01:54:56,520
Speaker 3: right after the Knicks lost to the Pacers, and it's like, oh,

2239
01:54:56,600 --> 01:54:58,200
Speaker 3: what do you know? They came back and beat the

2240
01:54:58,320 --> 01:55:02,680
Speaker 3: thunder too. Crazy how that worked out? Yeah, I just

2241
01:55:02,760 --> 01:55:05,360
Speaker 3: don't agree with that, but a good point, Jeff, how

2242
01:55:05,400 --> 01:55:08,400
Speaker 3: are you upgrading? Are you upgrading with Jason Kidd? That's

2243
01:55:08,400 --> 01:55:11,720
Speaker 3: an honest question. I don't know that you are. We've

Speaker 3: that bet during the show, Jeff, I like that one.

2283
01:57:26,160 --> 01:57:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it too.

2284
01:57:27,240 --> 01:57:30,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Bob. Give me Bob tomorrow night.

2285
01:57:30,720 --> 01:57:35,160
Speaker 3: Bbrovski over twenty five and a half saves Edmonton gets

2286
01:57:35,240 --> 01:57:38,160
Speaker 3: a ton of shots on goal. I just don't see

2287
01:57:38,160 --> 01:57:44,200
Speaker 3: how that's changing in these games, that's right, Butbrovsky has

2288
01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:46,520
Speaker 3: been a beast and he's gonna have to stop a

2289
01:57:46,600 --> 01:57:49,560
Speaker 3: bunch of the pucks from going into the net because

2290
01:57:49,680 --> 01:57:53,040
Speaker 3: Edmondson there was just relentless. So I'll take Bob over.

2291
01:57:54,480 --> 01:57:56,440
Speaker 3: All right, we've got cracks play the day. Let's dive

2292
01:57:56,480 --> 01:57:56,760
Speaker 3: into this.

2293
01:57:58,480 --> 01:58:01,800
Speaker 1: God, this is the lay of the deck the man.

2294
01:58:03,200 --> 01:58:04,200
Speaker 3: All right, crack, what is it?

2295
01:58:04,240 --> 01:58:07,400
Speaker 2: Well? You know I've had a lot of success on

2296
01:58:07,640 --> 01:58:13,280
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh sides and totals first five. So we're gonna go

2297

Speaker 2: back to the Well there Jeff doing what I was

2298

2299
01:58:18,040 --> 01:58:21,960
Speaker 2: go with Pittsburgh and skiings first five. It's minus a

2300
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:26,000
Speaker 2: dollar forty. I hate laying that much juice. Bet MGM

2301
01:58:26,080 --> 01:58:27,960
Speaker 2: had a great line this morning and they moved it

2302
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:31,200
Speaker 2: up a little bit more. But Pittsburgh Pirates first five.

2303
01:58:31,840 --> 01:58:35,560
Speaker 2: Let's keep on going to you know who's been giving

2304
01:58:35,600 --> 01:58:37,160
Speaker 2: you the money. You know that there's an old saying

2305
01:58:37,240 --> 01:58:40,240

2308
01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:50,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, And Phillies have really been struggling lately.

2309
01:58:51,320 --> 01:58:52,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I know they're one of the best things,

2310
01:58:52,840 --> 01:58:54,880
Speaker 2: and they're a great team. We know the Phillies are

2311
01:58:54,920 --> 01:58:58,560
Speaker 2: a great team. But this is very situational. Like you

2312
01:58:58,600 --> 01:59:01,160
Speaker 2: guys said, Jeff was talking about places that actually have

2313
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:05,280
Speaker 2: you can bet the pitcher to win. That's kind of interesting,

2314
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:07,400
Speaker 2: but uh, you know that you can to win the

2315
01:59:07,440 --> 01:59:09,600
Speaker 2: game to get the decision or not the starting pitcher.

2316
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:11,520
Speaker 2: But we're just gonna go with the first five here

2317
01:59:11,600 --> 01:59:16,320
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh and hopefully keep on keep this money train rolling.

2318
01:59:17,400 --> 01:59:20,480
Speaker 3: Keep it trucking. Okay, nice, What do you think, fellows

2319
01:59:20,520 --> 01:59:23,160
Speaker 3: on the way out? Halliburton under twenty five and a

2320
01:59:23,200 --> 01:59:24,800
Speaker 3: half points and assists.

2321
01:59:24,840 --> 01:59:27,040
Speaker 2: You with that. I'm under that.

2322
01:59:27,960 --> 01:59:30,160

2323
01:59:30,200 --> 01:59:31,200
Speaker 4: I don't know about the points.

2324
