1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: All right, everybody, Chad Millman, I'm relishing in a rare

3
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 2: winning week. I went three and two. I've told you

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 2: I've had an absolutely terrible year betting. I do think

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: it's a little easier in the playoffs because you get

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: greater quarterbacks, and I kind of know, especially at home,

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 2: your better quarterbacks generally play pretty well at home. So

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: that said, Kansas City minus seven and a half, I

9
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: know there's a hook warm weather team on the road

10
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: after playing really well.

11
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: CJ.

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: Stroud's home and a waste splits don't play in his favor,

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: Andy Reid and Abye, Kansas City's going to win the game.

14
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: The question is by how much. So I'm inclined to

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: say I had a winning week last week and I

16
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: lost one of those underdogs that everybody loved. And that's

17
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 2: what I did all year. So I do think the

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: weakest team left in the playoffs AFC or NFC is

19
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 2: not the Commanders because I think their quarterback, maybe better

20
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: than Andrew Lucke is a rookie. Is probably Houston on

21
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: the road in cold weather. So I know it's wrong,

22
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 2: but I'm going to take the Chiefs minus seven and

23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 2: a half.

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: What say you.

25
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, at seven and a half, I think it's the

26
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: sharp side. At eight and a half, you're starting to

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: get a little bit of interest in the Texans. And

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: what you just said is exactly what the wise guys

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: are seeing too. They're more interested in betting the Commanders,

30
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: let's say, is big underdogs, than on betting than betting

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: on the Texans right now. And there's one thing that

32
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: you have to consider, which is Patrick Mahomes as a

33
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: favorite of three or more generally has been a losing bet.

34
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes as a seven plus point favorite fifty two

35
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: and five straight up, so he generally wins those games.

36
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 3: They're going to win the game.

37
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: Twenty two thirty two and three against the spread, that's

38
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: forty one percent. Normally, I will not give you the

39
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: exact numbers. I'll just give you the percentage because I'm

40
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: not going to give you anything that is a data

41
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 1: set of two.

42
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: Right.

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a sample size that is

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: relevant so people understand we're not just sort of giving

45
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: out really small numbers to make ourselves look good. Forty

46
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: one percent against the spread on a sample size that

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: is twenty two plus thirty two, what is that fifth

48
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: and three fifty seven, right, So that's a decent sized

49
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: number at a point spread of seven plus.

50
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 4: So dig a little deeper because.

51
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: Don't forget this game is going to be played in very,

52
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: very cold weather. Okay, Patrick mahomes as a favorite of

53
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: seven plus points in weather under forty degree z, he's

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: ten and six against the spread. Under thirty degrees, he's

55
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: four and one against the spread.

56
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 4: So what I just tell you?

57
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: I just told you his record was twenty two and

58
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: thirty two and three against spread as a seven plus

59
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: point favorite. Nearly fifty percent of those wins against the

60
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: spread have come in cold weather. So now all of

61
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: a sudden it changes to form me a little bit,

62
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: makes me feel more comfortable betting on the Chiefs. So

63
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: the wise guys have been betting on the Chiefs.

64
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 4: They bet this up.

65
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: It's about fifty to fifty in terms of the the feelings,

66
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: the expectations on either side. At eight and a half,

67
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: I still like the Chiefs.

68
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: Here, Commanders plus nine and a half is the side

69
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: to me. A side note my favorite part, Detroit's going

70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: to win the game. But since they have a pocket

71
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: quarterback and they don't have a hyper mobile quarterback on

72
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: the roster. The advantage here to playing against Jayden Daniels

73
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: in this game is who, however, they face next and

74
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl is likely Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson,

75
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen. So this is a really

76
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: good test case on how they defend a running quarterback

77
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: because they don't have one on their roster. So I

78
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: think it's instructive. This is a really good game for Detroit.

79
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: I think they'll win the game. Jayden Daniels, however, has

80
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: been so good and so good late. Now if it's

81
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: a blowout, and that's certainly possible, we know one team's

82
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: going to blow.

83
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: The other out.

84
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: But the Commanders are the rare team in a rebuild

85
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 2: that's actually great late. That's usually veteran teams and veteran

86
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: staffs very rarely.

87
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: Are you like the Chargers.

88
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: You'd be surprised if they were great in close games

89
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: because they have a new staff and kind of a

90
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: new culture. I would take the points here. I think

91
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: it's going to be a Detroit win. But if the

92
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: Commanders get the opening snap, take it and score, I'm

93
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: like game on sixteen and a half points. I'm Okay

94
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 2: with that, Sharper scare.

95
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: Well, there's no consensus here, and this is going to

96
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a theme today. The Lions

97
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: have been so dominant against the spread during the Dan

98
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: Campbell and Jared Goff era.

99
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 4: When I say.

100
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: Dominant, I mean their three and four year records against

101
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,679
Speaker 1: the spread are the best in the Super Bowl era.

102
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: Jared Goff indoors thirty four and thirteen against the spread.

103
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: This is a team that doesn't matter what the number is,

104
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: they cover the number. They're eighteen to two and one

105
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: against the spread against teams averaging more than twenty four

106
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: points per game. The Commander's average twenty eight points per game.

107
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: There are pockets of professional betters who like the Commanders

108
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: for exactly what you just said. They have won their

109
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: last five games on the last play of the game.

110
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: I don't mean good comeback, last two minutes, I mean

111
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: literally last play of the game. If you break it down,

112
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: you see, Okay, well, that was against New Orleans and

113
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: they kind of underperformed and needed a miracle to win

114
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: at the end.

115
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 4: The next one that was against Philly.

116
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts got hurt in the beginning of the game

117
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: and they needed a miracle to come back against a

118
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 1: team that was a little bit banged up and didn't

119
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: have its quarterback playing for him right the next game

120
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: Atlanta and the coach Raheem Morris for the Falcons screwed

121
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: up the timeouts and took the Falcons out of position

122
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: to win that game. And then they won in a

123
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: last minute, last second play against Dallas in a game

124
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: that didn't really matter. And then last week with some

125
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: flukiness from the Baker Mayfield fumble and then the field

126
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: goal kicking the upright, So you can look at it

127
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: either way and say, yeah, they're great in the end,

128
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: or yeah they're getting lucky against inferior teams or getting

129
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: fluky plays at the end. So you're one hundred per

130
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: right in that if they score early, this is a

131
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: game that you can expect to be a shootout, expect

132
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: to go over the fifty five and a half, and

133
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: because sixteen and a halves a lot to cover when

134
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: your defense for the Lions still isn't that great and

135
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: it's going to be playing against a very good running quarterback.

136
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: But I can't give you like a strong opinion on

137
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: the wise guys.

138
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: So my favorite pick last week was Philly a grint's

139
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: Green Bay to cover, and I don't even think Philly

140
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: played well, and they did it. I like this game

141
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: Philly minus six as well for about twenty reasons. Number

142
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: one warm weather team that tends to perform very well

143
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: on extra rest. Now it's short rest flight across the

144
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: country in cold weather. Kyraen Williams is hurt. They played

145
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: a perfect football game largely against Minnesota. They did earlier

146
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: this year against Buffalo. How they look the next week.

147
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: Even in the professional ranks, you do not play perfect

148
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: ball back to back weeks. And when McVeigh has extra time,

149
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: it's like watching it's symphonic. I mean, they're just the

150
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: first play of the games, like Puka twenty seven yards,

151
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: You're like, yep, it's gonna be a rough one for

152
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: the Vikings Philadelphia at home. You can always coach a

153
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: team more harshly when they win and play like crap.

154
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: I think one of the strengths of the Eagles that

155
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: had previously previous year's been a weakness is corner so

156
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: Puka nakua. This Rams team is very pukah centric. They

157
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: match up well with them. I also think the Rams

158
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: offensive line in pass protection can be very inconsistent. They

159
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: have a rookie center, a seventh round pick six or

160
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: seventh from Arkansas against Jalen Carter who is virtually unblockable.

161
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 2: For twenty reasons, I like Philadelphia minus six to cover

162
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: Sharper square.

163
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally sharp.

164
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: I think you're finding real consensus here for a lot

165
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: of the reasons you just said. And if you look

166
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: at that game last week, in reality, it probably should

167
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: have ended twenty nine to ten. Sequon took a dive

168
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: to end the game and at twenty to ten. But

169
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: everything you're saying, and from front to back, even without

170
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: Nakobe Dean, this Eagles defense is so fierce and what

171
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: they did to the Packers in making them look bad

172
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: is the opposite of what the Vikings did to Matthew

173
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: Stafford and that offensive line that the Vikings had made.

174
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 4: The Rams defense look like the Eagles.

175
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: The Rams defense is not the Eagles, and the Eagles

176
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: offensive line is not the Vikings offensive line.

177
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: This is a.

178
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: Team that is so completely dominant at the line of

179
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: scrimmage on both sides. The wise guys are wondering why

180
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: this isn't a little bit higher, and they'd betted up

181
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: to seven. To be honest, if you look back to

182
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: when these teams played earlier.

183
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: Than Eagles totally dominated the second.

184
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: Half, destroyed them. The line in that game was three. Okay,

185
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: the Eagles are favored by three. Now the Eagles are

186
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: favored by six. Even if you say, okay, I'm discounting

187
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: the home field advantage for the Rams and it's really

188
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: not worth that much, and then you translate all that

189
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: like home field is usually worth three. Right, So in reality,

190
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: what the bookmakers would be thinking is, well, shouldn't the

191
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: Eagles be favored by nine? Right? Because it's they're three

192
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: on the road at a neutral field, they're six.

193
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 4: At home, they're nine.

194
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: Say that the Rams at home is not worth anything,

195
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: it still isn't worth zero, So there's a little bit

196
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: of value here. This line should probably be seven. I

197
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: would not be surprised if it gets there. Wise, guys

198
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: will definitely be betting it at six.

199
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 2: So I like the Bills plus one and a half

200
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 2: at homes. A. Flowers is the only Ravens player who

201
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: has not practiced. In fact, it's been a while since

202
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 2: he did practice, so if he plays, he'll be You know,

203
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: this is kind of walking on the field and going

204
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: I understand the Bills run game. The Bill's defense is

205
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: susceptible to the run game, and I don't doubt that

206
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: Baltimore will have some success. Whether they have success in

207
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: the red zone, we'll see. And there have been teams

208
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: that beat the Bills. The Rams played a perfect football game.

209
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: But this Buffalo team really between an elite offensive play caller,

210
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 2: left tackle, quarterback, running back. I really like their wide

211
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,119
Speaker 2: receiving antight end group. You may not have a superstar,

212
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 2: but it's B plus stuff. I think you know, there's

213
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: a sense that Lamar gets tens in big games. Lamar

214
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: also doesn't like cold weather, and it's going to be

215
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: twenty four degrees. I don't get the line getting Josh

216
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: Allen's best team at home plus points. I know what

217
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: the analytics say, it just feels wrong. I think the

218
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: Bills are going to win the Super Bowl. So wow, yeah,

219
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 2: So I'm taking Buffalo here, Sharper square.

220
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: So the line opened Ravens plus two, and it moved

221
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: very quickly with wise guy money to Ravens minus one.

222
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: It was less than twenty four hours before the Ravens

223
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: went from underdogs to favorites. It got up to one

224
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: and a half. The wise guys have started buying the

225
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: Bills back from one and a half, it's down to one.

226
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: In a lot of places, like the wise guys like

227
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: generally whoever the underdog is in this matchups, that's what

228
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: they're betting. So if you like the Bills, you can

229
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: get him as an underdog. Get him as an underdog.

230
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: I am I would not. I don't like either side

231
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: in this game. If I have to bet, I'm gonna

232
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: wait as long as I can try to get the

233
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: Ravens at pick and hope this line comes back down.

234
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 4: As much as Lamar doesn't like playing in.

235
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: The cold, he's still succeed He's four to zero games

236
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: when it's less, when it's thirty degrees or less, He's

237
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: twenty six and nine against the spread as a favorite

238
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: of three or less or as an underdog. I get

239
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: what Josh Allen is. I think Lamar Jackson is the MVP.

240
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: This is a more well rounded team. I think you're

241
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: playing with fire if you're betting the Bills.

242
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 4: But the wise guys are liking him as an underdog.

243
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: But there's also plenty of wise guys who still like

244
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens to win this game.

245

Speaker 2: based on your most recent date, success, fight game, Ohio

277
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: State's in this. I don't know vo Texas is the

278
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: right space, but they are on fire. Their self belief

279
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: is unbelievable. They are making good teams look awful. They

280
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: made Oregon look like like, you know, a third tier team.

281
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: They humiliated physically Tennessee, and I mean again, Texas was

282
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: arguably for most of the year, everybody's sort of belief

283
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: until they've lost to Georgia for the second time. Texas

284
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: was the team and you watch them line up with

285
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: Ohio State and you're like, yeah, nil money, and see

286
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: who spent the most money. It's Ohio State. I also

287
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: think chip Kelly has given Ohio State an advantage in

288
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 2: the NIL and NFL playoff like tournament, where it's a

289
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: great team after great team after great team. You hide

290
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: some stuff, you unveil some stuff later. I think what

291
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: they've done to their offense, the pacing, the tempo, delivering

292
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: kind of new sets and looks. I think it's a

293
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: really smart football team. And this is the first time

294
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: in college football you've had an NFL style playoff, and

295
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: I think Chip Kelly has helped. Notre Dame has one

296
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: five star athlete. I do think the game will be

297
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: close in the first half because I think Marcus Freeman

298
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: is my Sean mcvayh in college. I think culture and belief.

299
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: But you know, Sean McVay in his career has lost

300
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: when he has faced better teams. When he faced the

301
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: Niners for years, when all these Shanahan, when Shanahan's players

302
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: were all in their prime, he had great game plans

303
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: and by the third quarter late, you're like San Francisco's

304
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: got better players. I I love Marcus Freeman. I think

305
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 2: they're outmanned here. I think it gets I think it's

306
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: a very competitive, low scoring game early. I don't think

307
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: it is late. I'll take the buck guys minus eight

308
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: and a half sharper square.

309
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 4: Well.

310
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: At this point, there's no real dominance on either side.

311
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: Right the line opened at nine and a half, got

312
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: be down to eight and a half. It's kind of

313
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: in that no man's land between seven and ten. The

314
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: real interest from professional betters is on the under right

315
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: now in this game. I think it's at forty five

316
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: and a half right now. These defenses, as much as

317
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: the buck Eys offense is so good, Notre Dame's defense

318
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: has been phenomenal and Al Golden has been creating incredible

319
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: game plans, and if you look at sort of every

320
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: single metric, they're just about even. Either one is number

321
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: one at one and the other one is number five,

322
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: or vice versa. The only differences are Ohio State is

323
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: not nearly as good as stopping teams on third down

324
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: and Ohio State is not nearly as good at converting

325
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: turnovers as a defensive team.

326
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 4: But on the flip.

327
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: Side, Notre Dame has things where they're not as good

328
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: so they're not as good at getting sacks as Ohio State.

329
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: So there's definitely this game feels like a defensive battle

330
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: and the wise guys are looking at the under. There

331
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: is a lot of data backup what you like about this.

332
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: There have been twenty four national title games in the

333
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: BCS era, yeah favorites, Twelve of those have been won

334
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: by the favorites by more than a touchdown. So if

335
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: you do like Ohio State, it is likely they will

336
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: cover this game. So if you're thinking that they're going

337
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: to win, bet them to cover, because that's usually how

338
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: those things go with the favorites.

339
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 4: International Title game for college.

340
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: Football, I will tell you though, it's funny about college football.

341
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: There are some suggesting that the SEC's run is over,

342
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 2: and then others are saying it's a one off. But

343
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: there is some advantage to this. If the NIL never

344
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: has a cap. Schools like Alabama are begging boosters like

345
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: it's a bake sale to give money. Notre Dame's got

346
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: more money than SEC. Schools outside of Texas, Ohio State, Michigan,

347
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: Penn State, a lot of these Oregon, a lot of

348
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 2: these Northern tier teams. There's a lot of CEOs from

349
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: those schools, and there's.

350
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 3: A lot of money in the North.

351
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: And when Alabama is basically saying we need help one

352
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: hundred dollars fifty bucks, all help, that's a car wash,

353
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 2: that's a plea for help. And you're getting that from

354
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: some of the sort of SEC fan bases. Which is

355
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: one of the great things about the SEC has been

356
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: the tribal nature of it. The Big Ten, although there

357
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: is some parochialism to it. Big ten graduates go to

358
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: the coast and they make big money. SEC graduates largely

359
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: stand the footprint of the South to a large degree.

360
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 2: Big ten graduates they go to La San Francisco, Seattle,

361
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: Tech Jobs, Boston, Minneapolis, New York, DC, overseas and they

362
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: make great money. And I just look at like Notre Dame.

363
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, I know, like six.

364
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 3: Notre Dame guys, they're all rolling in it.

365
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: They're all doing well. So I think there's something to

366
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: be said about there are some financial realities. And this

367
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: is not to say there's not money in the South.

368
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: George has got a lot of money. But when Alabama's

369
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: coming out and begging for it, it's like wow. And

370
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 2: Alabama is sort of the Bentley, you know, it's sort

371
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 2: of the standard of the South. I do think SEC

372
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 2: will still be the deepest conference for a while. But

373
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: remember this year, Washington was in a rebuild, USC was

374
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: in a rebuild, Michigan was in a rebuild. They're not

375
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 2: in rebuilds next year. And Penn State brings everybody back,

376
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 2: and Ohio State's Ohio State and Oregon with their money

377
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: is Oregon, I think, I think it's inches, not feet now.

378
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 2: I think these I think these conferences are going to

379
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 2: go toe to toe Ohio State. I mean, we don't

380
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 2: even count Oregon because they got blown out by Ohio State.

381
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: I think Oregon would have beaten everybody except Georgia in

382
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 2: the SEC.

383
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,239
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you brought this up. I saw that

384
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: same story about Alabama, and I wasn't shocked at all

385
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: to see that they were having a hard time withinn

386
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: Iow money. And granted, everyone should take this with a

387
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: grain of salt. Where two East coast West Coast media

388
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: dudes who have not spent an extraordinary amount of time

389
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: living in the South. But I think your theory and

390
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,239
Speaker 1: your thesis is spot on, and we're seeing it in

391
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: different ways. I don't think of the University of Miami

392
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: as a southern school. The University of Miami is a

393
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: school where a lot of people with a lot of

394
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: money from the East Coast, from really wealthy communities in

395
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: the Midwest send their kids to school, and those kids

396
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: then go out. Maybe they live in Miami, but they

397
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: usually go back to their hometown, whether it's New York

398
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: or Chicago, and they end up working in huge corporate environments,

399
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: making it a ton of money. They can funnel a

400
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: lot of money in NIL for Miami. Where Carson Beck

401
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: is going right, Think about Duke Duke in basketball, Duke

402
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: hass some of the wealthiest alumni in the country. How

403
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: to Duke get money so quickly for NIL? Partially because

404
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: their program is amazing and that's where they're going to focus.

405
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: But they're getting NIL money for football too, And so

406
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: I think you're one hundred percent right. NIL is going

407
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: to even the scales a little bit, and it's not

408
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: going to be one of those things where, oh my god,

409
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: Alabama's going to get so much better. They didn't get

410
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: so much better, and now we're seeing what's happening. It's

411
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: teams that have huge alumni networks that are going to

412
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: get so much better.

413
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 4: I agree a one hundred.

414
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 2: Percent, And think about this. I don't think people realize this.

415
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: Big ten schools are much bigger than SEC schools. Wisconsin

416
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: forty thousand, Ohio state forty five thousand. SEC schools may

417
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: fill their stadiums, but these Penn State. I mean, if

418
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 2: you folks, if you're listening to this, go look it up.

419
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: Big ten schools often have double the kids, and they

420
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 2: spread out over the country or internationally. I know a

421
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 2: lot of SEC kids that do go to New York City.

422
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 3: I'm not saying they don't.

423
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 2: But whereas the South economically there's a lot of jobs,

424
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 2: the South is still growing. The Midwest isn't necessarily growing

425
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 2: and has bad weather, so a lot of Big ten

426
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: students flee to better weather. Whereas a lot of SEC

427
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: students say, like, listen, it's I like the winners down

428
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,239
Speaker 2: here of Atlanta. You know, my friends, my family so

429
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 2: and this is just anecdotal, but in my life, the

430
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 2: one city SEC students go to outside of the South

431
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 2: is New York City. You know a lot of financial majors, yep,

432
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: economy majors, accounting majors or whatever. But I do think

433
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: that the fact that the South, the economy is pretty good.

434
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: In the South, cities like Nashville are fun, cool and growing,

435
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: Atlanta same thing. Not a lot of places outside of

436
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 2: Chicago in the Midwest are economic powers. I mean a

437
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: lot of Indies and Saint Louis and and so a

438
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 2: lot of big ten kids they flee after they graduate Detroit,

439
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of these kids they want to go,

440
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 2: they want to go to school there.

441
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 3: Then I want to live there.

442
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: I think, Well, Number one, let me tell you that

443
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: Penn State student body. I think it's close to sixty

444
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: seventy thousand people, like it is a massive student body, right,

445
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: it is much much bigger than when you're going to

446
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: get in an SEC school. Don't disagree with you at

447
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: all about kids wanting to go to the SEC schools

448
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: and then leaving the SEC schools. Right I'm going through

449
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: it right now. It is so hard to get into

450
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: SEC schools. Georgia, Auburn, Florida. Those are some of the

451
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,479
Speaker 1: most competitive state schools in the country right now.

452
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 4: I'm seeing it.

453
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: And partially it is because kids from the Northeast, like

454
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: my kid, kids from the Midwest, they're tired of the weather,

455
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: they're tired of the weather, and they're seeing it on

456
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: social media every single.

457
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 2: And the girls are beautiful and it's your everybody's wearing

458
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 2: sun dresses all year.

459
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: Everyone's going to football games, having the time of their life,

460
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: partying in the grove, and they're like, why would I

461
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: want to go to somewhere where it's gray eight months out.

462
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 4: Of the year.

463
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: Of the top twenty three school enrollments, thirteen are in

464
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: the Big ten.

465
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 4: Yeah.

466
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's almost the whole Big ten. Yeah.

467
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: So you know, remember USC's private, they're Big ten. Now

468
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 2: Northwestern's private, they're big ten. So of the sixteen, two

469
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 2: of them are private, small privates. Now Vanderbilt's also private,

470
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: so I'm sure they're enrollment Smaller privates usually are. But no,

471
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: I think I think our points are valid. That listen,

472
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: if you grow up in warm weather, it is hard

473
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: to go cold. If you grow up in cold weather,

474
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: it's much easier to go warm.

475
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a fat It'll be fascinating to see

476
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: how this develops over the next five years, right because

477
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: or even longer, because we are seeing so many kids

478
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: from the East Coast and the Midwest who are going

479
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: to these sec schools, and over say a generation from now,

480
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: as these kids maybe decide to stay in the Southeast,

481
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: is there more money in corporate culture? Is there more

482
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: NIO money that gets funneled into these SEC schools that

483
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: otherwise would have gone to a Michigan that would have

484
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: gone to an Ohio state, that would have gone to

485
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: a Penn state.

486
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 4: Because those are the places where those kids were going

487
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 4: and they're no longer headed there.

488
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: And so there's a lot more corporate money that can

489
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: flow into the SEC schools to your point from earlier,

490
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: But it's going to take it might take.

491
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: A while, right, So I was now all I know

492
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 2: is here's something else that jumped out to me before

493
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 2: we go, is that I always love kind of where

494
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: sports is going, not just where it is. And so

495
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 2: college football, I think between transfer portal ANDIL and playoff

496
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 2: has made a lot of changes, and I tend to

497
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 2: love change in sports and where it's going. I think

498
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: college football is in a really cool place. I just

499
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 2: need some guardrails on the NIL and transfer portal. And

500
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 2: I think the twelve team playoff will become fourteen or sixteen.

501
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: But did you see last couple of days when it

502
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 2: was announced that Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever are spending ninety

503
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: million dollars on a new arena, And so there's something

504
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: about the WNBA. It's a league that got very defensive

505
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: when you suggested that Caitlin Clark was driving a lot

506
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: of their ratings growth, almost all of it. What does

507
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 2: it tell you that a WNBA team, this is a

508
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: league that hasn't made a profit, is spending ninety million

509
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 2: in Indiana on a basketball arena and it's the right

510
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 2: move the year after Caitlin Clark arrives. If you don't

511
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: think she has economic superpowers, you're not paying attention. That

512
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 2: is nothing to against any other WNBA player. The league

513
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 2: is better she is. She is.

514
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 3: A super nova, She is a comet.

515
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: Why would anyone ever get defensive about saying when someone

516
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 1: says that their success is defined by this singular moment,

517
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: this singular person. Did the NBA and the Bulls really

518
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: suffer because Michael Jordan came out of nowhere and took

519
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: the mantle from Larry Bird and Doctor j and turned

520
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: the Bulls into a global franchise. Are the owners of

521
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: the Warriors thinking of themselves?

522
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 4: Man?

523
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: It was so much more fun before Steph Curry, when

524
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: our franchise was worth about three hundred and fifty million

525
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: dollars instead of these seven billion dollars it's worth today

526
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: with our brand new arena, the Indiana Fever, the Warriors

527
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: with their arena, they're doing the exactly the right thing.

528
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: They're taking advantage of the moment in time when they

529
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: have everybody's interest, can funnel a lot of revenue into

530
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: new projects and get attention for it, and then all

531
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden it makes everything they're doing more valuable

532
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: down the line. They're using Caitlin Clark to build a

533
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: generationally great franchise and help the league grow because there

534
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: is so much interesting wind sports right now.

535
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 4: It's a brilliant, brilliant idea.

536
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 2: By the way, I had Adam Silver on for kind

537
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: of a wide ranging thirty minute interview this week.

538
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 3: He is really really good.

539
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 2: He's really good, and most of what he says I

540
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: gave him a platform for it, and I agree with it.

541
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 2: But I got into this thing where he said it,

542
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 2: and I thought about it and I was driving into

543
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 2: work today. Is that, you know, he and I think

544
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: the league is saying, listen, we've had six champs in

545
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 2: six years, and I think what has happened.

546
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 3: We're a much more distracted nation.

547
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: A lot of it is we're on our phones more

548
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 2: than we watch TV, and that it's hard to get

549
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: us to watch stuff that's not special. You have so

550
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: many platforms, so many streamers, so many networks, so many

551
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 2: cable channels, so many subscriptions to so many different platforms

552
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 2: that you to get me to watch something. And I'm

553
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 2: a sportscaster, there's got to be a special. A UFC

554
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: fight on a Satdaturday is special. College football playoffs special,

555
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: World Cup special, Olympic special, NFL once a week special,

556
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark games, occasionally special, O Taani playoff games special.

557
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: All of those that I just mentioned were rewarded this

558
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 2: year with big ratings. I think hockey, most of baseball,

559
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: in the NBA, in volume sports. I think it's going

560
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: to be increasingly difficult for the rest of my lifetime

561
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 2: to get ratings in the regular season unless you create

562
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: special This is what Fox did to baseball. They said,

563
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: how about a game in a cornfield? How about Mets

564
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: phillies in Europe? You need more special events. We're becoming

565
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 2: an event society and the dynasties feel special. When Kevin

566
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: Durant went to the Warriors, though it felt lobsided. Their

567
00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: games were events Shaq and Kobe events in the NBA,

568
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: now is the events are maybe the finals a Nick's

569
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 2: Celtic Eastern Conference Final would feel like an event. When

570
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 2: you combine load management where many stars miss big games,

571
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 2: with the new reality of a distracted populace, I think

572
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: I think baseball, hockey and the NBA are going to

573
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 2: struggle in the regular seasons going forward.

574
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: Well, the NBA is trying to fix that right with

575
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: the NBA Cup, the midseason tournament and the NBA Cup,

576
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: trying to make something that feels more like an event,

577
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: and to me, those games are a little bit more intense.

578
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 4: I love the NBA. I love NBA playoffs.

579
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: You talk about Knicks Celtic's Eastern Conference Finals, that is

580
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: must setv the intensity level, the level of defense, and

581
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: I think, obviously, and I know Adam talked about this

582
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: with you on the show, and the three point shooting,

583
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: like there is a level of intensity that is missing

584
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: from the regular season and trying to create that with

585
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: the NBA Cup is one way to do it, but

586
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: it's also hard when you don't have a dynasty. And

587
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:17,719
Speaker 1: I am a massive, massive fan of dynasties. I want

588
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: sports dominance. I want to see history. I want to

589
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: see teams do it again and again and again, and

590
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: I want to see them annihilate their opponents and I

591
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: want to do I want to see them do things

592
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: that can be compared in history, not just on a

593
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: season a season basis, And it's getting harder and harder

594
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: to do that with the NBA. And also, look the

595
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: best athletes, Anthony Edwards, Victor Wembinyamo, they are Shay Gilders, Alexander,

596
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: They are so much fun to watch. Only one of

597
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: them really has anything close to the charisma of is

598
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, Anthony Edwards of a lebron James Anthony Edwards.

599
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: But he's still growing up and like he's not connecting

600
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: with the fans in the same way that these guys did. Right,

601
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: there's something that isn't that isn't translating from fans, even

602
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: though I think he's phenomenal and he's so much fun.

603
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: That's the challenge is they need they need dominance right now.

604
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: And the Celtics, you know they're not dominant. Jason Tatum

605
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: isn't a guy that fans are getting behind Jalen Brown.

606
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 2: The word the word special. The Celtics won the title

607
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 2: because they had the greatest depth one through eight. They

608
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 2: were easily the best team in the league. Tatum was

609
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: disappointing in big games. In fact, Jalen Brown was getting

610
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 2: the MVP. So even on that team, like Shaq and

611
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 2: Kobe both felt generational. Brown and Tatum feel really good.

612
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 2: So our championship team now, even even on Cleveland, Donovan

613
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 2: Mitchell's very good. We don't think he's Jordan or Kobe

614
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 2: or the Braun or Steph and so right now, Luca

615
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 2: is great, but his game isn't flashy. It's like Dirk,

616
00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 2: it's not a flashy game. I'll give you this question.

617
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: You get five things in sports. Everything else leaves, So

618
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 2: mine would be NFL, college football, sports, gambling, NBA playoffs, UFC.

619
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 3: You can't count.

620
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 2: World Cup in the Olympics, those are every four years.

621
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 2: You have to go through all of sports. You get

622
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 2: to keep five things, NFL, college football, gambling, NBA playoffs, UFC.

623
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 3: I like the World couple lot too. What would your

624
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 3: five be? What would you get rid of? What would

625
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 3: your five, and I say.

626
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 2: This, I loved the baseball playoffs. I loved it this year,

627
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 2: especially in the National League.

628
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 4: I would add World Series.

629
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: I would take off UFC because I love playoff baseball.

630
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: It is so intense, it is every pitch, and it's

631
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: the same context we're just talking about. During the season,

632
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm not going to watch that many baseball games. I'm

633
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: going to keep track of what's going on. I'm a

634
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: stat geek, so I love reading about how teams are

635
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: performing and how certain players are developing.

636
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 4: But I'm not going to.

637
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: Watch a mid season game with the same intensity and

638
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: the same joy that I'm watching a World Series game.

639
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 1: Even the past World Series that was essentially a blowout,

640
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: That last game was so intense and you couldn't turn

641
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: it off no matter how late it was going to go.

642
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: I feel the same way about the NBA playoffs. I

643
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: would not get rid of anything for the NBA. I

644
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: love the NBA all year round. I'm going to watch

645
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 1: the thunder and the Calves, and even though nobody knows

646
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: who any of those players are, I love the game

647
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: of basketball that they're all playing and the way they

648
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: passed amongst themselves I think is amazing. Obviously, I'm not

649
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of sports betting. That to me has

650
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: to be number one. Sports betting. You know, sports betting

651
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: is the invisible hand influencing the current and future state

652
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: of sports, I think more than anything else. And so

653
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: that to me is the umbrella that all of this

654
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: lives under the NFL. I wouldn't get rid of a

655
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: second of the NFL. I cannot live without it. I

656
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: love it so much.

657
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 4: And college football. Here's my problem with college football.

658
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: The games are just too long, Like there are I

659
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: don't need four and a half hours of college football games.

660
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: And I think they're great, they're fun, but I can't

661
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: sit for that long.

662
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 4: So if it's going to stay, I need.

663
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 2: The reason the NFL is king and so much greater

664
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 2: than college football is because it has a commissioner and

665
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 2: it's constantly tweaking. It's the same reason UFC is better

666
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 2: than boxing it has a central voice and is constantly tweaking.

667
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 2: Is that college football is like a really good product,

668
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: poorly run. I mean, essentially, the twelve team playoff happened,

669
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 2: and Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC and the PAC

670
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 2: twelve folding and four teams moving into the Big Ten.

671
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 2: All that happened because Fox and ESPN wanted it to happen,

672
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 2: So that's it. They just got tired of college football

673
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 2: wasting so many monetization opportunities that Fox and ESPN said, guys,

674
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: we're going to take it over. Yeah, And that's what

675
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 2: Dana White said, Boxing, You're ridiculous. I'm going to create something.

676
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 2: The Fertida family and Dana White and so college football

677
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 2: and boxing, which I love growing up, have just been

678
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 2: poorly managed my entire life. And so Dana White and

679
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 2: TV networks changed both and for the better. I mean,

680
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 2: college football now like a twelve team playoff.

681
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 3: You're like, what, why aren't we and it's not even done.

682
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 2: They're going to keep tweaking it. But why didn't this

683
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 2: happen twenty five thirty years ago.

684
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: It's interesting the way you talk about UFC because I

685
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: know the sport well, you know, I wrote Chuck Liddell's

686
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 1: autobiography with him, and I've watched more UFC fights than

687
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: I can count.

688
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 4: I would still take.

689
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: A heavyweight boxing match over UFC with the pomp and

690
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: circumstance any day, like Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield Tyson Evander.

691
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 2: I used to be like that and Dana White. I

692
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: asked Dana about that because Dana grew up with boxing

693
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 2: and so did I. I used to be like that,

694
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 2: and I still love a great boxing match, but they're

695
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 2: so infrequent now, there's like one every other year. I mean,

696
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 2: you got you know, Logan Paul is like one of

697
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: the attractions. Hey, let's put Connor McGregor and boxing line.

698
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gimmicky. Now it's not the same thing. But

699
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying historically, if I could have back a brilliant

700
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: heavyweight boxer, or if I could even have Floyd Mayweather

701
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: and Manny Pacquiao in their prime, I would rather have

702
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: that than UFC.

703
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 4: It's just more interesting to me. I just like it more.

704
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm not anti UFC, but if I could have boxing

705
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: at its height, I would take boxing at its height

706
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: over UFC at its height.

707
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. I used to be like that. I'm not anymore.

708
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 2: And I also think I mean, I'm in the UFC

709
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 2: business at the volume.

710
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 4: Yeah.

711
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 2: And the one thing I think UFC is so brilliant

712
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 2: they picked today. It's Saturday night. You know what you're getting.

713
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 2: You don't get bad cards. You get either sensational cards

714
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 2: or good cards. Boxing was a coin flip whether you

715
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: were pissed off at the end of the night for

716
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 2: buying the pay per view and selling nothing for three hours,

717
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: by the way, and then the fight would start an

718
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 2: hour and a half late. It was like watching Guns

719
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 2: and Roses going to a concert. They're going to hit

720
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 2: the stage two hours late. Just just smoke another bawl

721
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 2: and enjoy your night, dude.

722
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 1: I remember getting together with my buddies in high school

723
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: and one guy would buy the Tyson fight and we'd

724
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: be all sitting around. We'd be jacked. We're like, this

725
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: is what we're doing tonight. It's going to be amazing.

726
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: We don't have to be going we don't have to

727
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: go look for a party. We were such losers.

728
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 4: We weren't going to find a party anyway.

729
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: As you're like, this is it, We're in We're doing

730
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: this tonight, and then Tyson would knock the guy out

731
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: in thirty seconds, where we're like, ah, fuck, what do

732
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: we do now. We'd get in some guy's minivan, cruise

733
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: around town, listening to the Smiths and hoping we can

734
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: find something to do.

735
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 2: Chad Millman Sharper square All odds provided by DraftKings. He's

736
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,200
