Incredible NFL weekend of waits gosh, 7 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: I can't wait. It's the best weekend of the young season. 8 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,319 Speaker 1: Not only do we get eight games early and then 9 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: five late. I love that split. I don't like the 10 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: three late. I like options late case there's a blowout, 11 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: then we get Packers Saints Sunday Night Football. Then now, 12 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,919 Speaker 1: because of what happened last night with Boston Miami, if 13 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: you are so interested and you can't handle all the 14 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: commercials during Sunday Night Football, you'll get Heat Celtics Game six. 15 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: I have a compelling case to why that that series 16 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: is not close to over and the Boston Celtics stayed alone. 17 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: Think about Isaac jumping in there, and think about, folks, 18 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: your best dessert ever. Mine would be doughnuts that are 19 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: a little warm or like the chocolate lava cake. Think 20 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: about your favorite dessert. I know, dessert this early in 21 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: the morning not a great idea, but that's what Monday 22 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: night football is. Chief's Ravens so fired up for that. 23 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: I am a little nervous about picking NFL games this weekend. Um, 24 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: we'll get to that later in the show. And we 25 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: get some NBA tonight and listen. I don't know what 26 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: to make of the college football schedule. It's like I'm 27 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: dipping a toe in a little bit. But I still 28 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: I I don't have a grip on the seas. Everybody's 29 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: starting at different times. Kind of has me messed up. Um, 30 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: But we are one game away from Lebron going back 31 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: to the finals. It'll be his tenth trip to the finals. 32 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: Heyter's gonna me in hiding. It's tough tough out there 33 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: for the Lebron haters. I know they're coming after me. 34 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: But the King, he's back on top. Um. You just 35 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: can't keep a good man down. Lebron. What a what 36 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: a performance at the end of Game four, Game five tonight, 37 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: and you know, I know the Lakers fans are up early. 38 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: It's going to be a celebratory day. Um. But there's 39 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: also you know, the hope that the Lakers are able 40 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: to win the Chip Hip. I don't think it's as 41 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: much of a layup as everybody thinks it is. And obviously, yes, 42 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: if Lebron folsto three and seven in the finals, that's terrible, 43 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: but um, we'll do plenty of Lebron later in the show. 44 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: And Gavin just informed me that Major leagues based Major 45 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: League Baseball's postseason starts Tuesday. I had no clue. I 46 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: really did not know the season was that close to 47 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: being over. The sixty games kind of sneaks up on you, 48 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: and once NFL starts, I'm like locked in like a 49 00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: compression chamber and just totally focused on NFL every single day. Um, 50 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: I think Tuesday's kind of a scary day because there 51 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: is this um political debate happening. And I'll tell you 52 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: right now, guys, I was not only rooting for the 53 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: Celtics last night so that we could get a game 54 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: six and maybe a Game seven, But I think what 55 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: sports fans need is definitely a game seven on Tuesday. Okay, 56 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: we we get major League Baseball postseason. That's good. That's good. 57 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: Let's get Yankees and Dodgers on the on that Tuesday. Please. 58 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: I haven't seen a schedule, Gavin. We'll try to find 59 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: a baseball schedule. But I'm telling you, okay, so I 60 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: want no part of the debate Tuesday. I want no 61 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: part of social media. I'm telling you October. You know 62 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: how Joe Rogan does Sober October. I think I might 63 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: do sober October for Facebook. I'm just gonna avoid it 64 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: at all costs. It's just gonna be a nightmare. Um. 65 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: I would love a game seven Celtics heat and Major 66 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: League play Major leagu playoffs begin, and then somehow I 67 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: don't have to get sucked into the negativity and the 68 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: divisiveness that is the debate. But fortunately we have sports 69 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: to talk about today, and we all know that quarterbacks 70 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: are the keys two NFL games, no doubt about it. 71 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: Relief pitching and starting pitching is everything in baseball. And 72 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: everyone says the NBA is like a star driven league. 73 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna ask you what happens, Well, we don't 74 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: have two stars. What happens when we get to a 75 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: team that doesn't have Lebron and Kyrie, or Lebron and 76 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: a d Or Curry and clay Or Curry and Duran. 77 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: We've almost forgotten what it's like there has been It's 78 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: been so long since a kind of a starless team 79 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: has made the finals. Now, Drknovitski had Jason Kidd, who 80 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: was a future Hall of Famer. I know he was old. Um, 81 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: I think you got to go back to that Dallas 82 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: team and there is a little bit of the Miami 83 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: Heat in that Dallas Mavericks team. Because I'm watching the 84 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: Heat last night and I'm like, Okay, we know what 85 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler is gonna give us, and Jimmy Butler did 86 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: not have a great game, but it's really coming down 87 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: to the role players for the Miami Heat, and you 88 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: haven't been able to say that in a while. Role Players, though, 89 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 1: are hugely pivotal in this series, Folks. The Miami Heat 90 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: go up three one on the Celtics because a role player, 91 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: Tyler Hero has thirty seven points from a twenty year 92 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: old And yes, folks, we did talk about on straight 93 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: fire Tyler Heroes who's twenty, his Instagram girlfriend who has 94 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: seven i think seven and a half million followers. She's 95 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: just such a huge deal. All anybody wanted to talk about. 96 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: Like ten minutes after Tyler Hero dropped thirty seven, which 97 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: was the second greatest performance by someone of his age 98 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: in the NBA players. Magic Johnson's forty two was first, 99 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,559 Speaker 1: and Tyler Heroes thirty second is second. Right above Derrick 100 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: Rose is thirty six. And um, you know, Tyler hero 101 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: had a great game. He's a role player, He's a rookie. 102 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: Do you know the real reason besides stopping the honest 103 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: that the Heat beat the Bucks? Fellow by the name 104 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: of Jake Crowder. Do you know how out of his 105 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: mind Jake Crowder played in that series? Jay Crowder a 106 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: non factor against the Celtics, and that's something that matters. 107 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: Jay Crowder went off against the Bucks average fifteen in 108 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: the series. Shot from deep. When he vanishes, and when 109 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: Tyler Hero has a nonentity game like last night, and 110 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: when Doug get Robinson can't deliver, the Miami Heat don't 111 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: have the stars. The Celtics have a duo, Tatum and Brown. 112 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: We know that Tatum is a superstar, Jalen Brown on 113 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: the cusp of being in that hey man, this is 114 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: the top twenty five player. He does it at both ends. 115 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: But the role players matter. Think about the only win 116 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets have over the Lakers. Obviously, Jamal Murray 117 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: and Yokis are awesome, but they won that game because 118 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: Jeremy Grant bananas twenties, six points role airs matter. I 119 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: know you guys want to say the NBA is a 120 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: star driven league, and yes, Jimmy Butler is a star, 121 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: but Bam out A Bio is not a star. Goran 122 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: Dragics is not a star. Really good players, but I'm 123 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: gonna I'm starting to wonder, how are the Heat going 124 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: to close out this series? Because one of the other 125 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: things that you look at and that that's close, that's interesting, 126 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: is the Miami Heat, all of a sudden aren't making 127 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: three pointers. This is the craziest stat of the morning, folks, 128 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: as it pertains to the NBA. So, guys not named 129 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 1: Tyler hero In. The last three games for the Miami 130 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: are eighteen of ninety on three pointers. It's no surprise. 131 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: Boston has one, two of three, and we've seen the 132 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: Nuggets come back from down three one twice. It would 133 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: not surprise me in the least if the Celtics win Sunday. Now, 134 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: I don't know how anybody's gonna watch Celtics Heat Sunday. 135 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: The games are so good Saints Packer's is gonna be 136 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: a thriller. I mean, I want to put it on 137 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: TV two. I just it's gonna be tough to put 138 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: eyeballs on that with such a great NFL Sunday afternoon 139 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: and evening. But we need that game badly. I I 140 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: you know, I have that Celtics Lakers Finals ticket plus 141 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: from October that listen. It's not gonna put my kids 142 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: through college, but it is a very very nice victory. 143 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: It would be my best NBA hit probably in three years. Um. 144 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: So I I have a rooting interest in a Lakers 145 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: Celtics Final, And I guess at this point we should 146 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: quickly talk about Lebron James before we get to the 147 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: NFL and the the Lebron James, Like mystique is to 148 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: the point where and we talked about this on straight fire, 149 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: like Anthony Davis hits the game winning three at the buzzer, 150 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: and it's like, Okay, we give Anthony Davis props, we 151 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: give Vogels some props for drawing it up. Oh look, 152 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: Lebron was a dequal And then within like four minutes, Hey, 153 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: did you guys notice how bad Lebron was down? The stretch. 154 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: I think he had five turnovers in the second half. Oh, 155 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: he was terrible. It's like, wait, the Lakers just one 156 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis made a buzzer shot. What are you doing? 157 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: Try to tear it down Lebron? Like, why who cares? 158 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: I wonder? Is it because he's so outspoken on the 159 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: social justice issues? Is it because the Michael Jordan's lovers 160 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: of and haters of Lebron are just so worried that 161 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: Lebron's coming for the crown? You guys know when Jordan's 162 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: signed off on on the Jordan documentary, right, He's had 163 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: those tapes sitting around forever. I think over thirty years. 164 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: He signed off because Lebron came back from down three 165 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: one to beat the Warriors in that was when Michael 166 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: Jordan said, Okay, we got it, let's do it. He 167 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: knows that Lebron's coming. Everybody knows Lebron's coming. I mean, listen, 168 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: I know that there's gonna be the argument that he's 169 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: only one four Jordan one six, that it's way if 170 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: you just say that you're a simpleton and you don't 171 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: know how to look deeper and into real discussions. Now, 172 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: I mean Lebron's taken down all Jordan's records, and think 173 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: about this down the stretch. Game four, Jamal Murray killing 174 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: the Lakers late, and did nobody can go him? Caruso 175 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: has no chance, Rondo has no chance. Lebron I got him. 176 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: Jamal Murray over three, shooting final five minutes of the 177 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Lebron shut him down at the rim. Lakers win. 178 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: But Jason, Lebron was so bad and in Game three 179 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: had six turnovers. Okay. Game four, Lebron heard your hater aid, 180 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: and he went and had zero turnovers, his first zero 181 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: turnover playoff games since. But Jason, he's not getting to 182 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: the free throw line. He only shot two free throws. 183 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: He's settling. Okay. Game four, Lebron fourteen free throw attempts. Like, 184 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: just stop, guys, stop going after Lebron. Enjoy him while 185 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: he's here. Listen, he's gonna be gone in a few years. 186 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: Lebron's playing forever. Enjoy it while he's here. Now, I 187 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: quickly want to say, um, I just need to get 188 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: a word in on the NFL, because Thursday night football 189 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: is perfectly encapulates White. I'm nervous about Week three in 190 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: the NFL. So you guys know that the TV folks 191 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: right before the game will pick who's gonna win, and 192 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 1: NFL Network all the four people picking the game had 193 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: the Jags and the over. The Jags were favored by three. 194 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: And what I want you to think about before we 195 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: go to break how much of an overreaction have we 196 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: had in two weeks about certain teams. The Jags went 197 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: from their tanking for Trevor Lawrence, which we know the 198 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: front office is tanking. Obviously the players are not tanking. 199 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: Nobody would say that the Jags went from being the 200 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: worst team in the league with the lowest projected win 201 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: total to being favored by three against the Miami Dolphins. 202 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: Not to me, that was an obvious tell. I give 203 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: had a best bet on straight fire and it was 204 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins plus three parlay with the Lakers money line, 205 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: which hit and hopefully got you paid. How are the 206 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: JAG's favorite? It was insanity. But the people on TV, 207 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: they don't understand the gambling aspects that Okay, there's been 208 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: an overreaction and there's a couple of games that really 209 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: stick out this week. I'm gonna start with one. If 210 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: you guys, what to my Instagram. We're in an Eagle 211 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: shirt today. I went down in flames with the Eagles 212 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: last week by only miss in the circle one point 213 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: four million dollar contest who went four and one Eagles? 214 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: Let me down the Eagles this summer. We're ten point favorites. 215 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: You could have bet them minus ten against the Bengals. 216 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: That line last I checked, it was four and a half. 217 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: There's some fives in the market. Really the Eagles start 218 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: owing two. Carson Wentz doesn't look good, Eagles don't look sharp. 219 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: But we're backing Joe Burrow office Thursday night performance where 220 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: he looked capable, he got his You know, you got 221 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: beaten up pretty badly a game where the Bengals average 222 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: like four I think it was four point two yards 223 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: per play, four point three something like that against the 224 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: Browns defense that you know put up no resistance against 225 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: the Ravens. Just be aware of the overreaction. And this 226 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: is the week where I think a lot of people 227 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: are gonna lose all the money they won last week 228 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,599 Speaker 1: because the book's got crushed between the money line parlays 229 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: the teasers straight up favorites at fourteen and two last week. 230 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: You have to be very very careful heading into this 231 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: week looking at favorites. Think about some of the teams 232 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: that are dogs. The undefeated two and oh against the spread, 233 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers are underdogs, the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs, 234 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champions are getting three and a 235 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: half in Baltimore, the Owen. I mean, there's some oh 236 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: and two teams, uh that that are in good shape 237 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: here with the with the lines, folks, it's gonna be 238 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: a wild, wild Sunday strap in. We'll talk about that 239 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: next here on Fox Sports Radio. Back here on Fox 240 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: Sports Radio, just talking with Gavin during the break about 241 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: Joe Rogan. It's weird. I I haven't really listened to 242 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: any of the Rogan podcasts in the last like two weeks. Again, 243 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: once football kicks in, guys, I I really hunker down 244 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: because this stuff matters to me. The game. Listen. I'm 245 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: a competitive guy, probably to a fault, and um, this 246 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: gambling contest is intense, and you know there's three thousand 247 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: people at people in it, and listen, you win one 248 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: point four million. The quarterly prizes are really large chunks 249 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: of money. So Week one three one in one, Week 250 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: two four and one, so seven two and one. Um, 251 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: obviously listen, there is one guy who's tenor no, and 252 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: what what stinks for me and Gavin. I don't know 253 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: how much you have looked at the lines is the 254 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: contest it's called the Circle contest, and the lines kind 255 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: of sucked because I know they're frozen, but they're shaded 256 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: and really sharp. So for instance, right now, you can 257 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: go get Saints favored by three, but in the contest 258 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: it's Saints by three and a half, and it's like, well, 259 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: three is like probably one of the number you don't 260 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: want to go against that you don't want to give 261 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers the hook. And then like the Giants in 262 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: most places were four in the contest their three and 263 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: a half. So I'm like, you know what I think 264 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take. I think I'm gonna take the Giants. 265 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: Now where your lines locked in? Yeah, they're frozen. I 266 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: think Thursday morning, like Patriots is frozen at there's some injuries, 267 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: like a J Brown injury for Tennessee that probably wasn't 268 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: finalized on Thursday. Yeah, now that's like a big one, 269 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: this a J. Brown thing. I'm telling you guys, I 270 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: have looked. I spent way too much time looking at 271 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: Minnesota and like Pro Football focuses grades of the Minnesota 272 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: players this season not great, but I mean not great. 273 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: They've been awful. And now they're top two starting quarterbacks 274 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: who were already awful to begin with our out. They're 275 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: starting two rookies. They have a like a fourth year 276 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: undrafted guy as the third cornerback, and they just elevated 277 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: a guy from the practice squad, and you're like, oh 278 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: my gosh, these deep backup stink. But then on the 279 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: other side, you're like, wait a sec. The Titans. The 280 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: Titans are favorite on the road, and I still can't 281 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: give respect to Ryan Tannehill. I know he's had a 282 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: good run, uh since getting away from Adam Gaze, which 283 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: is another story entirely um. And you look at A. J. 284 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: Brown's out the receiver for the Titans. So it's like, oh, 285 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: can can Adam Humphries and Corey Davis take advantage of 286 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: these pathetic Vikings corners And it's not like the Vikings 287 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: d is great. Yeah, I would also think this could 288 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: be the Derrick Henry game that we've all been waiting for. 289 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: He's getting the workload in every game, but he hasn't 290 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: had the production. That's a great point. And Jonathan Taylor rookie, 291 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: just went for like a buck against his Vikings defense, 292 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: and I think, like, on the surface, I think I 293 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: gotta take Tennessee. But Gavin, this is one of those 294 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: where what's what's the split? Oh yeah, the public is 295 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: sent on tennant or something like that. Right, Yeah, I 296 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: bet it on Tuesday, So I gotta stick with it. 297 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: But Titans minus two is where I got it. Yeah, no, No, 298 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: I have money invested at two and a half. But 299 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: in the contest, which I think is different, Like I 300 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: don't mind putting a couple hundred bucks on Tennessee, but 301 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: in a contest where the payday down the road is 302 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: one point four million, I think I gotta be a 303 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: little more. Uh, I think I gotta be a little smarter. Right, 304 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: So you keep looking, But I don't know, do you 305 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: trust Tennessee, Gavin. It's it's one of those teams where 306 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: you go, well, the numbers say I should, I should 307 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: do this, but look at the history of the franchise, 308 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: and look, it's in Minnesota. How much does it really 309 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: matter the fans? Yeah? Um so? And again you know 310 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: it's Ryan Tannehill. He could easily, you know, turn back 311 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: into a pump game by way he's getting jacked up. 312 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if you notice how many hard hits 313 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: he took against the Jacks. Holy Now, I will tell 314 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: you there are two games, two dogs that I've been 315 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: looking at and I think it's crazy to think about. 316 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: But what about the New York teams. You've got plenty 317 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: of injuries on the other side. So you've got the 318 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: Giants right going against Nick Mullins and Jerick McKinnon. They 319 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: don't have all the all the ammo there. They don't 320 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: have the defense. When you watch the second half against 321 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: the Jets, and I know they had a big lead, 322 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, and whatever, so they didn't probably didn't need 323 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: to attack, but Jets played him to a standstill. Second 324 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: half was ten ten. Now, the Jets are are real bad, 325 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 1: and maybe I'll talk about them later. They are bad, 326 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: but I I still am a believer in Sam Donald 327 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: and and look, it's an eleven and a half point line. 328 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: It's a lot of points. You could be down and 329 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: get a touchdown with two minutes left, and all of 330 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,479 Speaker 1: a sudden the Jets cover, and that's all that matters. Like, 331 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you're right, the Colt is gonna be throwing 332 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: up big in the in the fourth quarter, because remember, 333 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: the Jets defensive line can stop the run. Look, I've 334 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: seen pretty much every snap of Philip Rivers career. There 335 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: are not that many games where he blows out an opponent. 336 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: And that's always been a frustration long time as a 337 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: Charger fan. Was keep the foot on the pedal and 338 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: put these guys away. I could easily see this being 339 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: a game where the Colts get out to a big 340 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: lead in the first half and then that leads to 341 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: shrinks and maybe they only win by six point. I 342 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't say the Jets can stop the run. The 343 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: run defense was elite last year, top five. They gave 344 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: up an eight yard touchdown run last week, and they 345 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: gave up a fifty five yard run in like third 346 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: and forty. Doesn't help when your starns out the season. Yeah, yeah, 347 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: that's kind of an issue. So that was one what 348 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: you're saying both New York teams. I'm thinking about both. 349 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: I'm I think I'm definitely gonna put some on the 350 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: Jets for sure, just because the number is so big. Um, 351 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: you know, one of these games that it's gonna be 352 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: public against the house, is I should say the professional 353 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: gamblers are gonna go ahead and take the six points 354 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: with Denver Gavin, I'm sorry, I I cannot do. Jeff Driscoll, 355 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, Um, did you see Jerry Judy's hurt game 356 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: time decision? So now who the hell's he's throwing to? 357 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: Noah's stanton k J Hamler And listen. Tampa's defense is 358 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: pretty good. I know Teddy Bridgewater got a bunch of 359 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: garbage points last week after they were down twenty one nothing, 360 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: But that line can't protect Driscoll. He got sacked six 361 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: times in three quarters. And I know it's like Driscoll 362 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: covered against Pittsburgh. Yeah, that's kind of what Pittsburgh does. 363 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: I think. I'm telling you. Tampa was up twenty one nothing. 364 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: They dropped seven passes, uh, including a touchdown by Lashaw McCoy. 365 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: That should have been a blowout, and I think Tampa 366 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: puts it on them. I mean, five and a half 367 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: on the road is a big number, Gavin, that's a lot. 368 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: The other game I'm looking at is the Rams Bills. 369 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: This could be my favorite game of the weekend. Actually, yeah, 370 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: oh wait wait, favorite to gamble on her just well 371 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: to watch. But also if you dive into the bills 372 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: defensive numbers, they're not as impressive as everyone thinks. You 373 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: think of the Bills as this great stout defense there 374 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: there defense against the run has not been terrific, and 375 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: their number two running back Moss, the rookie out and 376 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: singletary has not looked great early. It's like Josh Allen 377 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: is carrying the run game. Yeah. So, I you know 378 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: one thing I would definitely be looking at is maybe 379 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: a prop on Darrell Henderson or I don't know if 380 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown is going to play this game, but look 381 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,719 Speaker 1: at some of the Rams rushing props and maybe take 382 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: the over there. Yeah. Um, and I'll close out quickly 383 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: with this one. So your Chargers lost a heartbreaker. And 384 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: I think you called it that they like to play 385 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes close. Yes, no, that no one plays better 386 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: defense against my Homes better than the Chargers and it, 387 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: but it was not a heartbreaker that that game was 388 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: all about the excitement of feeling like you got out 389 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: of quarterback purgatory in one week. We had one week 390 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: of Tyrod Taylor and then Herbert comes in lights it up. 391 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,479 Speaker 1: I cannot believe Anthony Lynne didn't go for it on anything. 392 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: That's what he does. Well, you're right, yeah, I should. 393 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: I should have seen it coming. But I thought, if 394 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: there's ever a game a coach doesn't need to answer 395 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: for why they lost that game. No one was expecting 396 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: you to win. Rookie quarterback making his debut, why not 397 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: go for even if you're on your own thirty years. Okay, 398 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: So who are the real Chargers? Mr? Chargers fans? Are 399 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: the real Chargers the guys who almost lost to the 400 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: Bengals on the road or the guys who played super 401 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: tough against a divisional opponent that they could easily get 402 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: up for. I think what you see this weekend is 403 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: what you want to take away, and so that's not 404 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: quite that's what I'm looking for. Like I kind of 405 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: like Carolina here. And then another crazy set is the 406 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers have three quarterback pressures through two games. I 407 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: mean that's like a quarter for T. J. Watt of 408 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: the Steelers. They have three pressures. That's it. Yeah, that's amazing. 409 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: And then they're also a terrible run defense. So Joshua Kelly, 410 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: the rookie got twenty three carries last week. I think 411 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: you've also got Austin Nekelor there. I think this isn't 412 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: gonna be a great fantasy day for Justin Herbert. But 413 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: I do think the Chargers are gonna win. I think 414 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna manage the clock a little. I think that 415 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: time of possession is going to be heavily in their face. 416 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: So that would be my final question, Like, you know, 417 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: should a rookie quarterback be favored by six and a 418 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: half in his second career? Are we? Look, we don't 419 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: have enough of the sample size. It's an interesting number though, right, 420 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: six and a half. Yeah, I'm wondering why it's not seven. 421 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: I guess they definitely can't give seven because everybody would 422 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: load up on it. Um. I just I think Caroline 423 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 1: is gonna be fisty. But I what you try to 424 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: do in these gambling contest is avoid the game where 425 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: within the first ten minutes you know it's done. And 426 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: like if it's fourteen nothing and Bridgewater like they're not 427 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: gonna be I mean, I just I hate that the 428 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: most interesting thing will be you know, now, Herbert has 429 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: had an entire week to prepare. He's been working with 430 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: the ones that was not the case last week. So 431 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: what does he look like? Does he look more shaken 432 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: up and and and not prepared because last week he 433 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: was just thrown into the fire. And there's an argument 434 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: that maybe it could have worked for him because he 435 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 1: couldn't psyche himself up, you know. Um, so there is 436 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: now there's tape on him though there's four quarters with 437 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: a tape on on Herbert. Hopefully Matt Rule and his 438 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: guys can see some tendencies. Um, but their defense is 439 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 1: not shown up. And Teddy Bridgewater doesn't looked like much. 440 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: He still he's got over six yards passing a lot 441 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: of turnovers. But it is early. I mean, I listen, 442 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to go too deep. And I think 443 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: the way they lost that Raider game was just kind 444 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: of tough because I really thought they were going to 445 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: pull it out in the end. Yeah, that that was. 446 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: That was a feisty game from Carolina. All right, coming 447 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: up next year on Fox Sports Radio. Um, we'll do 448 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: a little more in the NFL. I'll look at college football, 449 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: but we also I mean, listen, I know it's late September. 450 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: We're not not really supposed to talk NBA in September. 451 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: It's like, like you an unusual year where the NBA 452 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: still has like big market share right now because Lebron 453 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: is still alive and the playoffs are happening. But I 454 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: don't know how interested are you in a in a 455 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 1: Miami Heat versus Lakers final. I mean, there's some good storylines, 456 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: but does that pique your interest? Will do that next 457 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: year on Fox Sports Radio. But first, here's Isaac loewen 458 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: Kron with what's trending in sports. Good morning, Jason. We 459 00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: are eighty seven minutes and thirty seconds away from college 460 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: football kicking off today at New and Eastern.

Heat still leaves the series three games to two. 468 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: Jayson Tatum thirty one points, ten rebounds, six assists. It 469 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: was his fifth thirty point game of this year's playoffs, 470 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: Jalen Brown scored twenty eight games six of the series. 471 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: On Sunday, in Game four of the Stanley Cup Final, 472 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Lightning and Dallas Stars went to overtime. 473 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: Lightning radio voice David Michigan takes it from there on 474 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 1: w f L A, and boy does he ever take 475 00:25:48,160 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: it from there? He shot. Kirkwright called shoot the Chimes. 476 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: Michigan now listed as probable for Game five with a 477 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: sprained larynx. In Major League Baseball, Friday night, the Houston 478 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: Astros clinched the final spot of the American League playoffs 479 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: thanks to the Angels nine five loss to the Dodgers. 480 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: The Cincinnati Reds clinched their first playoff spot in seven 481 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: years with the seven or two victory over the Minnesota Twins. 482 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 1: The Miami Marlins clinched their first playoff spot in seventeen 483 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: years four three victory over the Yankees. This the same 484 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: Miami Marlins team that lost a hundred and five games 485 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: just one year ago. Jason wow Isaac I had no 486 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: idea that Stanley Cup Finals were that thrilling. So what wait, 487 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: it's three three one Tampa Bay. Two Sunbelt teams playing 488 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: in Edmonton Sun. When you say Edmonton, Isaac, all I 489 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: think of is that um Sega Genesis NHL game with 490 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: the Edmond to the Oilers, like had good players. That 491 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: was like the last time I played a hockey video game. 492 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, I mean they were the dynasty of all 493 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: dynasties in the You bet all right, Thank you, Isaac. 494 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: Back here on Fox Sports Radio, It's me Jason McIntyre 495 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: coming to you live from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios. 496 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: It's easy to say fift or more on car insurance 497 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: with Guico, go to Guio dot commra call seven Auto. 498 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: The only hard part figuring out which way is easier? 499 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: All right? Um, I didn't have descripted, but I totally 500 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: uh want to discuss it, um, Chris and Gavin. I 501 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys have watched this on Netflix, 502 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: either with your girlfriend or your wife or solo. There 503 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: is um a program, a documentary called The Social Dilemma. 504 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 1: No I heard about it. I heard it's great. Have 505 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: you seen it? Chris? I have not known. So essentially 506 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: it talks about, you know, how all these programmers in 507 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley are making these algorithms that mess with your head. 508 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: But I've said the guys on here repeatedly. I do 509 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: not I want to get to the point where I 510 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: do not have to have social media and feed that 511 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: beast Listen. That's a tough place to get to, I 512 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: think right now. The only guys there like Stephen A. Smith, Wilbon, 513 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: corn Izer, Uh, Colin Coward to an extent, but like, 514 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: you have to really really make it to get there 515 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: and just not do any of this stuff and social 516 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: dilemma I highly recommended if you guys are bored. The 517 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from me, or one of them, is that 518 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: these guys who made these algorithms who get you hooked 519 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: on your phone constantly scrolling, they keep their kids away 520 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: from iPhones and screens and definitely social media apps. They 521 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: created it and they do not want their own family 522 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: using it. What does that tell you? I mean, Chris, 523 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: how often are you on your phone? You're a single guy, 524 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: right yeah, yeah, I'm single right now? And how I'm 525 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: just curious when you like listen, I know you're into 526 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: sports and you do the podcast and you still do 527 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: some blogging. How how often are you on social media? 528 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: Almost all the time? I mean when I'm at home, 529 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: I've got I I have a pretty I work on 530 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: my own PCs at home. I have two monitors, one 531 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: of them is usually as tweet deck on one of them. 532 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: I don't use Facebook, though Twitter is really my only 533 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: social media. I I staunchly refuse and have not used 534 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: Facebook for multiple, multiple years. And I curate my Twitter 535 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: feeds very, very heavily, so I don't really have the 536 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: problems like I've got about four digits of followers. I 537 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: don't have any of the problems with too many people 538 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: just because I just but that that does take a 539 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: lot of work to get there. And yeah, no, it's 540 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: it's definitely something I do a lot of. And Gavin 541 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: or like when you're away from the job, I mean, listen, 542 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: sports is your deal, you work in it, You've got 543 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: a lot of side projects, cooking, Like, how do you 544 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: handle it because you don't have you don't have kids, 545 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: you're just just girlfriend basically wiped up at this point. 546 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: But but what's your question, like, how do I deal 547 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: with not having social media? Well, no, I mean you 548 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: you do have social media. I have Facebook, I have Instagram, 549 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: but those are not the toxic ones. Um those and 550 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm not on Facebook all day to see all the 551 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: essay long opinions on the election. I'm not seeing that stuff. 552 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: It's more you know friend groups and stuff. But what 553 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: about have you had any family members post stuff on 554 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: Facebook that are that's election related and you're like, oh boy, no, 555 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: I mean nothing that that that is upsetting or like, 556 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: you know, not seeing long you know, hatred, you know, 557 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: toxic conversation. So now it's it's been healthy, especially mentally, 558 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: to uh, to get away from Twitter. You know this 559 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: whole the last few months has just not been fun. 560 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, and the next month is gonna be bad. 561 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: My new strategy is I'll wake up, I'll you know, 562 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: do either run, do some liftings, sit ups, whatever, um, 563 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: kind of go in fresh and then I'll dive in 564 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: deep for like five hours. I have to be locked 565 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,239 Speaker 1: in with our writing, getting ready for a video, TV hit, 566 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: whatever it is. And early afternoon I can feel it 567 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: wearing on me. So I'll just like go lay down, 568 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: read a magazine, read a book, away from the phone 569 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: and listen. It is tough, man, It's it's hard once 570 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: you're in this industry. Now, if you're like an accountant, 571 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: you don't need all this crap. You just don't. If 572 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: you're gambling you kind of do. Yeah, I mean it 573 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: also takes me back when to our younger days when 574 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: we didn't used to know every issue going on in 575 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: the world. Not that it's bad to be aware of 576 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: the problems of society, but like we don't need to 577 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: see every single video of of the latest you know, 578 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: boycott or whatever's upsetting people. Um so yeah, I mean 579 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of where I come from on it, 580 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: Like I don't I don't need to be aware. I 581 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: want to know the major things, but you know that 582 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: that will come to me in its own way. Yeah. No, 583 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. And that's the other is 584 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: you like when we were kids, Like you know, it 585 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: was like watching TV was the big screoge. Your parents 586 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: are like, turn that TV off, go outside and play. 587 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: Now it's like, please turn the TV on, get off 588 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: the screen, uh, and go to a less, less damaging screen, 589 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: because the TV is not as addictive as the phone is. 590 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: The phone is just infinite scroll. And the one that 591 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: they say is really bad is TikTok because TikTok is 592 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: is very creepy to me. And it's I told my 593 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: girlfriend the other day, like there was some montage of 594 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: this dance about Tiger King, and I actually felt uncomfortable 595 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: watching it because after two of the videos it starts 596 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: going into younger kids, and I'm like, why would I 597 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: want to watch that? And very strong you know, YouTube 598 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: started that to the automatic kick to the next video 599 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: and TikTok basically does it every and it's only like 600 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: fifteen seconds, And what's that I was gonna say. There's 601 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: been also expose s about like some of the weird 602 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: stuff that happened with like YouTube for kids and about 603 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: just really predatory behaviors there. There's been some deep dive 604 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: I've seen from some tech outlets about like just how 605 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: that content mill got run and just how it got 606 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: filled up with abuse and kind of stuff you don't 607 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: want to see your kids, and yet it's on YouTube 608 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: kids like almost like you know, the machine's gone evil 609 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: kind of stuff.

Just reading a story 662 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: from twenty nineteen about Jamal Murray and his dad was 663 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: like a big martial arts guy and played a lot 664 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 1: of basketball. When Jamal Murray was seven, he was required 665 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,359 Speaker 1: to drain thirty straight free throws before he could stop 666 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: for the day. That is so funny. Last year I 667 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: did that with my then eight year old and we 668 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: made you have to make five before we start for 669 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: the day. So Jabalbury is seven, you have to make thirty. 670 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: And um, some of this other stuff is really interesting. 671 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: He eats that he made Jamal Murray meditate to eliminate 672 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: the outside noise, push ups in the snow laps before school, 673 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: running conditioning uphill. This is awesome stuff. You know. I 674 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: really like that. I mean, I'm so into that, and 675 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: like I'm not saying that I wish my parents had 676 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: done that for me because like, listen, there's no chance 677 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: that I was going to be a professional athlete. Um, 678 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: but I do, like, I don't know how much you 679 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: guys are into history of like your own family. Um, 680 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 1: but my family is not from America. I was the 681 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: first born in my family in this country. And you know, 682 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: my parents, they were not sports guys. They're athletic in 683 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: terms of shape, um, but they're not like, they weren't 684 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 1: like big sports guys. And my dad told me recently 685 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: that his dad was a big, big soccer player in 686 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: the country. He was from Dominica in the Caribbean, and 687 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: his dad was trying to get him into play sports. 688 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: And when he was just like not that into it, 689 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: it was like drove a wedge between him and his dad. 690 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I don't want to be 691 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: that dad who forces my kids into sports, but I 692 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,919 Speaker 1: want them to be into it. I cannot stress enough 693 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: how good sports are guys for um, for young people, 694 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: like making friends, um, teamwork, trying to achieve a goal, 695 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,720 Speaker 1: you know, winning and losing. Losing sucks. Nobody likes losing, 696 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: but yeah, nobody's perfect and nobody wins everything. Um. Anyways, 697 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,439 Speaker 1: that was just a little I was reading the story 698 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 1: on Jamal Murray during the break, I would recommend it. 699 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: Let's see it's um why no stage is too big 700 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: for the Nuggets Jamal Murray Jackie McMullen of ESPN, January 701 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. UM, all right, So I was also looking 702 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: at the baseball standings and like, I don't know, I mean, 703 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: are they gonna do the bubble? Do we know that? 704 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 1: Gavin or Isaac for the playoffs? I know they had 705 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: talked about an MLB post There are a couple of 706 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: locations of where the MLB postseason games I believe Isaac knows. Yeah, 707 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 1: So the first rounds all at home ballparks. The rest 708 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 1: are all going to be in bubbles. They're gonna have 709 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: American League bubbles at Dodger Stadium and in San Diego, 710 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: National League bubbles for the Division series in Houston and Texas, 711 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: and then the League Championship series UH for the National 712 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: League is going to be UH at Global Life Field, 713 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: and the World Series will be there too, And I 714 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: think the NL Championship Series is gonna be in San Diego. 715 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: So first round they will be doing a lot of 716 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: travel or now uh yeah, no, yeah, the first round, 717 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: the UH is going to be at home ballparks, but 718 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 1: there's only gonna be one shift in location. So the 719 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: Nationals went from winning the World Series to twenty three wins. 720 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: Um I think that when you look at the markets 721 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: that major League Baseball is getting, the Cubs are going 722 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, the Dodgers are going to the postseason, 723 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: the Padres, who have been a great story, um, they're going. 724 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:17,919 Speaker 1: And then in the a l oh my gosh, Houston Astros, Yankees. Um, 725 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,360 Speaker 1: I think Cleveland Chicago White Sox White So both Chicago 726 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: teams going to the postseason. That's really good for baseball. 727 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: And we've talked about it a lot like look at 728 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: the team's left in the NBA playoffs, like the Denver Nuggets. 729 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: No disrespect to the Nuggets, but listen, you don't have 730 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,240 Speaker 1: a huge fan base, you don't have a huge TV market. 731 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: Lakers obviously helped Boston, obviously would be huge if they're 732 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,720 Speaker 1: able to push through to the finals. And the Miami 733 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: Heat are an interesting one because like in that Miami market, 734 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 1: who dominates the Miami market. It's not the Dolphins, Miami Hurricanes, 735 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 1: it ain't the Marlins. Is it the Heat or is 736 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: Miami such like a South Beach town that there really 737 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: is no dominating team. There um really good stuff for 738 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: baseball and baseball postseason. I will be watching it on Tuesday. 739 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: I sure as hell an watching any of the debates 740 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio.

I don't know if 748 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,879 Speaker 1: I could say we discovered him or how we even met. 749 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 1: Might have just been a Twitter thing, and there's one 750 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 1: of the few benefits of Twitter meeting interesting people. T 751 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: A joining us now, TA probably just got done burping 752 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: his little baby um and he's ready to dig into 753 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: some NFL games. What's up, man? How do you know? 754 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: I was going through Twitter in the background while I 755 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 1: was opening the baby not put her down, and I'm 756 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: on with you. We talked about deleting Twitter with the 757 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 1: first of eight coming up Tuesday and October and November 758 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 1: is going to be a disaster. But for sports purposes, 759 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,879 Speaker 1: like you need to be on there, right, I mean, 760 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,320 Speaker 1: you got to get the injury reports on Davante Adams 761 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 1: and all this so you can be actionable on the 762 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,319 Speaker 1: NFL t A. Let's dig into week three. Um, how 763 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 1: did you do last week? I forgot? I went two 764 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: and three, uh after a four and one week and 765 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,439 Speaker 1: week one, so you know, still okay overall I didn't 766 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: get killed, but you know, a couple of close games. 767 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,880 Speaker 1: I had Tampa, which had that back door, but I 768 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: also you know, had Dallas, who you know almost got 769 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,839 Speaker 1: americle cover they did win. Um, and then I had 770 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,400 Speaker 1: the Browns, who uh you know should have one I 771 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: should have covered easily and got back door it. So 772 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 1: at least I made I made him not interesting, but 773 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: yet two and three overall? Week two, all right, you 774 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: want to go first? Here? Week three? Fire away? Who 775 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 1: do you like? I like the Patriots? Uh? I gets 776 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: down to down to five and so it's interesting if 777 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: line has had moved down. It seems like they're some 778 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 1: sharp money on the Raiders, which I'm surprised at a 779 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 1: lot of angles hit New England here, you know, the 780 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,600 Speaker 1: Raiders coming off a big prime time win, short week 781 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 1: on Monday night, having a fly cross country. John Gruden 782 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: has been pretty poor the last uh two years in 783 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 1: terms of playing one o'clock games on the East Coast. 784 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 1: He's one in five straight up and again to spread. 785 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: And now that excludes week one when he played at Caroline. 786 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,399 Speaker 1: I mean week one year, you have plenty of rest 787 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: and travel, so I'm not really that doesn't really count, 788 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 1: but otherwise it doesn't do well in these situations, have 789 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,719 Speaker 1: gotten blown out a bunch of times. And then you know, 790 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,319 Speaker 1: of course New England off the loss. You probably heard 791 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 1: the stant a million times. I mean Belichick is over 792 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: again to spread off the loss, and you know, I thought, hey, 793 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: maybe that's the Tom Brady stat right like that could 794 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 1: be just Bradies his brilliance. But looking back at the 795 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 1: at the Matt Castle year, um uh and I believe 796 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,479 Speaker 1: it's two thousand and six, they actually went um five 797 00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:00,080 Speaker 1: and one or sorry four and one great again to 798 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,479 Speaker 1: spread in five and oh straight up in those in 799 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: in that season off the laws. So he's done it 800 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,320 Speaker 1: with essentially both quarterbacks. So I think they're gonna have 801 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,720 Speaker 1: a focus M game plan, especially on defense. The secondary 802 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 1: burned last week by Russell Wilson. They're gonna want to 803 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 1: prove a point here and I think they're gonna shut 804 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: down there and Waller and now with with no Henry 805 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 1: Ruggs Um, you know, big weapon loss for Oakland and 806 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 1: even bigger. That offensive line is a mess. Richie Incognito 807 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 1: is out. He's been one of the best guards the 808 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 1: last two years. You know. His backup is a guy 809 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 1: named John Simmons, is a fourth pron pick from Clemson, 810 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 1: and I looked this up. He filled in last week 811 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 1: and had an eleven PFFU offensive line grade, which I've 812 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: never seen before. I mean, anything under fifty is really bad. 813 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 1: Eleven he allowed he allowed the five pressures in in 814 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 1: the game, So I mean he's struggling in all three 815 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,320 Speaker 1: right tackles for Oakland or either or for the Raiders 816 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 1: are either out or questionable. So they've got some shuffling 817 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 1: along that line and they get all points to a 818 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: New England blowout here. Yeah, I'm with you that that's 819 00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,360 Speaker 1: one of that on a tough weekend, that's is like 820 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 1: the easiest one. I'm with you on Patriots t A. 821 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: I do want to say one of a lot of 822 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: these games, you know, the whole oh and two against 823 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 1: the spread to start the season, they bounced back in 824 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,839 Speaker 1: Week three. I think it's forty seven and twenty eight 825 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 1: over the last ten years, So we know some of 826 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 1: these O and two against the spread teams are going 827 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 1: to bounce back. I know it's dangerous to get in 828 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,760 Speaker 1: front of them, but what if I took Tampa Bay 829 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: against Denver. Now Denver did cover Week one, so this 830 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 1: totally doesn't apply to them. But there's two games Tampa 831 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh that on paper everything screams you have to 832 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,919 Speaker 1: take the favorite. Um, if you had to pick one 833 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 1: of those two to ride with Pittsburgh by I think 834 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,920 Speaker 1: it's four or Tampa five and a half? Is there? 835 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: Which side would you go with? Well? I actually, um, 836 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: I like Denver. UM. I think it's you know, the 837 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 1: defense is still pretty solid. Look, they went in went 838 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 1: into Pittsburgh with Jack driscoll and almost beat them outright. Um. 839 00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 1: You know, Look, I like Tampa. I had them last week, 840 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,400 Speaker 1: but they still make dumb mistakes and they're not a perfect, 841 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,880 Speaker 1: perfect team. I think it's a lower scoring game, so 842 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 1: I would avoid that. I mean, I honestly don't have 843 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,280 Speaker 1: a real feel on the Pittsburgh Houston side. I would 844 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 1: probably leave Pittsburgh, but that's not really one that I'm 845 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: interested in getting, um getting involved in. We just don't 846 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: know much about Houston. Yeah, with you know, playing Kansas 847 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 1: City and in Baltimore the first two weeks. Are you 848 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:28,319 Speaker 1: on Denver? I am on for Denver personally, not not 849 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 1: in any kind. One of the things that jumped out 850 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,719 Speaker 1: was I had to watch Tampa obviously clothes last week 851 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 1: because I had the They dropped seven passes, Shady McCoy 852 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,840 Speaker 1: drops a touchdown. Godwin's back this week. I don't know 853 00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 1: if you saw the news, Jerry Judy is now doubtful, 854 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton out, so they're basically having Jeff Drey school 855 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 1: who Now they have a game of tape on. Um. 856 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,840 Speaker 1: The Steelers had no tape on it had and they 857 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: kind of just caved there late. I think Tampa puts 858 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 1: a beating on them. Am I crazy? I don't how 859 00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 1: can Denver keep up if Tampa scoring at the Tampa 860 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: should have had last week? UM, I don't know, but 861 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: that's what they do. But but see Jason, that's the 862 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: thing that's what they do. That like it is you 863 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,720 Speaker 1: consider to say Tom Brady team, but this isn't the Patriots, 864 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 1: like Tampa does just like my Browns, like they do 865 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 1: stupid things. They make the mistakes, they they fumble at 866 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,239 Speaker 1: the long time, they um, you know, get called for 867 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 1: for personal foul at the long time. They just do 868 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 1: things to keep other teams in the game. Look, I'm 869 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 1: not saying it can't be a blowout. I mean very 870 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 1: easily could get away for Denver. I just think that 871 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 1: you know, Denver had a real home field advantage even 872 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: without a crowd early in the season, you know, in September. 873 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 1: Historically they've really done um, you know, they cover at 874 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 1: a pretty pretty high rate. And it's because of the 875 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 1: staminate issues in the Mile High and when you get 876 00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,319 Speaker 1: you know, warm weather that that's a real problem. And 877 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 1: so you know, look not and Denver's defense is still 878 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,359 Speaker 1: pretty solid. It's not it's not as good as as 879 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,359 Speaker 1: it is with von Miller. To me, like I said, 880 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: it's one that I stayed away from. The tickets are 881 00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 1: on Tampa and normally I don't believe I believe too 882 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 1: much and that stuff. But like you know, that lines 883 00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,239 Speaker 1: dropped from six or five and a half now, Like, 884 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just one that I'm not really 885 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,320 Speaker 1: um one that I want to get involved. Okay, what's 886 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:14,200 Speaker 1: your next one? So I got uh, you know you're 887 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,800 Speaker 1: talking about Owen two teams, right, I've got the Lions, 888 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:21,320 Speaker 1: UM plus six. Nobody nobody wants him, man, right, nobody 889 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 1: wants to take the trade. I would love to t a. 890 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,239 Speaker 1: I mean, try to make the case. I I just 891 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,560 Speaker 1: you the defensive Patricia runs. Hey, let's just rush four 892 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 1: guys and drop everybody back into coverage like Belichick Kyler Mury. 893 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,719 Speaker 1: Just I just know what's going to happen if you 894 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 1: do bet that we go ahead. Let me let me 895 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,719 Speaker 1: hear it. Well, look, you know Owen teams against the 896 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 1: spreading straight up versus UM teams too, and oh against 897 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,400 Speaker 1: the spread and straight up, which is the only this 898 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,919 Speaker 1: is the only case UM we have on the slate 899 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,400 Speaker 1: this weekend UM and it hit against the spread the 900 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 1: underdog here since two thousand three. I mean there's a 901 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,480 Speaker 1: reason that these lines getting plated. Now, Look, if I 902 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,440 Speaker 1: had asked you before the season opener, I said, you 903 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 1: know the in Arizona, what what would what would your 904 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 1: guests be the line line would be or should be? 905 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 1: Yea two and a half or three exactly right, So 906 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 1: you're talking about three and a half three point adjustment here. 907 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 1: And okay, what if DeAndre Swift Week one catches that 908 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,960 Speaker 1: easy touchdown and they beat Chicago? What's this line? Is 909 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,000 Speaker 1: it three and a half? You know, let's then you 910 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,319 Speaker 1: get blown out against the Green Day team were by 911 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 1: the way they were, they were leading in the first half. 912 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 1: I mean they just got torn apart because of the 913 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 1: injuries in the secondary against an Aaron Rodgers. See that's 914 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 1: gonna happen. I just think this line is inflated. I 915 00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 1: think it's a value value play here. I think the lines. 916 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 1: Getting back Kenny Golladay is a huge deal. Matt Stafford 917 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 1: was throwing deep a ton last year before he got hurt. 918 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 1: He was very successful at it. This year, his numbers 919 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 1: have dropped a lot in terms of testing depros just 920 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,719 Speaker 1: because he doesn't have Kenny Alladay. It's a big deal 921 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:53,400 Speaker 1: for that offense. You get him back, hopefully stretches the field. 922 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 1: You know, Arizona hasn't been tested on defense. They faced 923 00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,600 Speaker 1: the worst offense in the NFL and Washington last week, 924 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,759 Speaker 1: they faced a battered Fan Francisco offense that that lost 925 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 1: George Kittle midway through the through the game and didn't 926 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,359 Speaker 1: have any receivers. So I just say, don't think they've 927 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,479 Speaker 1: been tested by a real, um you know, top notch 928 00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,799 Speaker 1: quarterback here that construction field, and so I think that 929 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 1: the lines will keep it close. I actually think they win. 930 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,719 Speaker 1: To be honest, I think they somehow pulled this out. 931 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 1: But again I'm in the minority here. No, no, I 932 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,160 Speaker 1: like this play. I just the other thing is it 933 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,920 Speaker 1: looks like trufont isn't going to play. So does that 934 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,640 Speaker 1: mean rookie Jeff Okuda against new Coopkins like that? That's 935 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 1: a little well, Tufon is questionable, I believe right. I 936 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 1: don't know if he's been declared out yet, but yeah, yeah, 937 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,080 Speaker 1: I mean maybe he plays. That would be huge. That 938 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 1: that is huge. I mean a Cuda, Yeah, cluda, I 939 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,400 Speaker 1: love him the house. Stay guy, Look, Davante Adams just 940 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,759 Speaker 1: took him to school. But that's gonna happen in your 941 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,160 Speaker 1: first start. I mean, no preseason for these guys. That's 942 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 1: a big It's a tough spot to be in. So 943 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 1: we'll see. So so let me ask you how you 944 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: handle a game like Saints Packers. Okay, it's down with 945 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,520 Speaker 1: three now, but in a lot of the contests it's 946 00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,840 Speaker 1: Saints three and a half. And I would take it 947 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,239 Speaker 1: if it was three. But at three and a half, 948 00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 1: I can't give Aaron Rodgers the hook. I'm fine if 949 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 1: I get a push there, but I mean it's you know, 950 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 1: no Davante Adams. I don't know. I mean I definitely 951 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: like the Saints here. It looks like eighty The public 952 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 1: is on is on Green Bay. Any thoughts on Saints 953 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:21,439 Speaker 1: on a short week after looking bad in that Island game. Yeah, 954 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,479 Speaker 1: so I get them at three. I have them at three, 955 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 1: So I took them here. I think that you know this, whatever, 956 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,560 Speaker 1: there's a trendy public underdog. You know what happens, right, 957 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,760 Speaker 1: And look, this is all narrative. This is all narrative. 958 00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 1: Looks the Saints. They lose on on Monday Night. Everyone 959 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 1: said Drew Brees can't throw the ball. I mean, Drew 960 00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,560 Speaker 1: Brees still had a pretty good game. I mean it's 961 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,399 Speaker 1: not up the histanity. Still throw the ball over three 962 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,480 Speaker 1: yards seven and a half yards. But the play, I think, yes, 963 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,399 Speaker 1: the Saints out gained um the Radars seven point four 964 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,840 Speaker 1: to four point nine on the yards for play basis. 965 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,759 Speaker 1: The only reason that that game got out of hand 966 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,719 Speaker 1: a little bit was because the penalties. I mean, the 967 00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,000 Speaker 1: Saints had ten penalties for d nine yards and again 968 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 1: top spot going in going into Las Vegas first game 969 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:08,239 Speaker 1: at home. I just think that Drew Brees is still 970 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 1: going to be able to um, you know, efficiently move 971 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,080 Speaker 1: down the field. It's what he's been doing for two years. 972 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 1: I mean he's brought the ball deep last year at 973 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:18,879 Speaker 1: all either. UM. I just think that we're over inflating 974 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 1: the Green Bay right now, who faced two of the 975 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 1: worst secondaries in the NFL. We see how bad Minnesota 976 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,400 Speaker 1: secondary is. They've got a bunch of young guys and 977 00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,239 Speaker 1: they're not good players. They tore them up week one. 978 00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,319 Speaker 1: Last week again, we talked about the Lions injuries all 979 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,759 Speaker 1: over that secondary. Uh, you know, Marshawn Lattimore and this 980 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,400 Speaker 1: secondary much bunch better is to step up in class 981 00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,839 Speaker 1: and you don't have Davante Adams. I think that this 982 00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,759 Speaker 1: is uh perfectly, this is a perfect spot for the 983 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 1: Saints to win by ten, ten plus points. I mean, 984 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to bet against Aaron Rodgers anymore, and 985 00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,440 Speaker 1: he's been excellent this year. But again, without Adams, this 986 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 1: is such a huge loss, and I think the defense here, 987 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,040 Speaker 1: um steps up for you same. Any thoughts on the 988 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,480 Speaker 1: Giants getting four or three and a half against the 989 00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 1: second unit of Yeah, I love the Giants here. I'm 990 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:11,200 Speaker 1: on them as well. You know I tweeted this earlier. Um. 991 00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,880 Speaker 1: So when you look at between losing the Forest Buckner 992 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,600 Speaker 1: in the off season and then now having dfour, Nick Bosa, 993 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,720 Speaker 1: and Solomon Thomas all out for this game, they've lost 994 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,320 Speaker 1: two hundred and nine pressures out of the three hundred 995 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,960 Speaker 1: and seventy seven the entire defense had last year. So 996 00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:31,359 Speaker 1: we're talking seventy plus percentum or close to seventy percent 997 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,240 Speaker 1: of the pressures are now gone from from this team. 998 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,279 Speaker 1: And look they've got They still got Javon Kima, who 999 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 1: has been okay by all accounts so far, hasn't been great. 1000 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,440 Speaker 1: They've got Eric Armstead, who's really good defensive end, so 1001 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 1: so he's still there. But they've got a bunch of backups. 1002 00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 1: They've got Um, you know, green Law, I believe it out. 1003 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,120 Speaker 1: Richard Sherman on the second area is out I mean, 1004 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:54,759 Speaker 1: you've got five year top seven highest graded defenders are 1005 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 1: out for this game since from the Super Bowl team 1006 00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,440 Speaker 1: last year. I think it's it's definitely gonna have an 1007 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,239 Speaker 1: effective book. The Giants can't protect very well, but when 1008 00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,160 Speaker 1: you have essentially a bunch of backups there, I mean, 1009 00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones gonna have time and offensively, obviously Garoppolo, the Mullins. 1010 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,520 Speaker 1: You know, I think is a two to three point drops. 1011 00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 1: Some people don't think it's substantial, but yeah, he's a 1012 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 1: good backup. But you know, Garoppolo still runs that offense 1013 00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,000 Speaker 1: and knows that offense well, and you know, not only that, 1014 00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,439 Speaker 1: No Kiddle, like I just think you're really I think 1015 00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:26,879 Speaker 1: Shanahan just wants to get out of here with a wind. 1016 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 1: He's worried about that. The players are worried about that field. 1017 00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,279 Speaker 1: That's that's gonna the leak into their conscious I just 1018 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,959 Speaker 1: think that there's too variables here to get to lay 1019 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,360 Speaker 1: over three on the road. With all of those injuries 1020 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 1: and all of that going on. I just think this 1021 00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,279 Speaker 1: is a spot for the Giants that minimum moves by 1022 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,040 Speaker 1: a field goal or less. But I think they can 1023 00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:46,880 Speaker 1: win this game. Let me ask you about One of 1024 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,800 Speaker 1: the ones that I'm considering from my fifth or fourth 1025 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 1: is the Carolina Panthers getting six and a half. I 1026 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,320 Speaker 1: I don't understand how Herbert's favored by six and a half. 1027 00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,040 Speaker 1: I know this is about Carolina, which has given up 1028 00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,520 Speaker 1: over thirty points in those games, but the offense has 1029 00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:05,279 Speaker 1: moved the ball. Bridgewater has been okay, um no McCaffrey. 1030 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,160 Speaker 1: I think it's similar to a Sa Kuan effect, like okay, 1031 00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,120 Speaker 1: we don't just have to feed McCaffrey all the time. 1032 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,239 Speaker 1: We can get it to Samuel, We get it to 1033 00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:15,440 Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson and spread the ball around. I mean, at 1034 00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,520 Speaker 1: six and a half is a lot for a Chargers 1035 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,719 Speaker 1: team that looked ordinary at best in the open or 1036 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 1: with Tyrod. I don't think they're as good as they 1037 00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,480 Speaker 1: were against the Chiefs last week. And now there's a 1038 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,080 Speaker 1: WEE could tape on Herbert so he won't catch them 1039 00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:31,920 Speaker 1: flat footed. Yeah. I didn't take Carolina here, but you 1040 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 1: know I tweeted a couple of days ago we must 1041 00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:38,799 Speaker 1: have seen this that I couldn't remember a rookie quarterback 1042 00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 1: in you know, one of his first two starts with 1043 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,600 Speaker 1: limited action. Obviously I'm being favored by this many points. 1044 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,200 Speaker 1: I went back and just kind of manually looked UM. 1045 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:51,080 Speaker 1: Since two thousand and six, I haven't seen a single 1046 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,319 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback in either the first or second start and 1047 00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,799 Speaker 1: also with it in their first two appearances, UM be 1048 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 1: favored as much. No one's the favored by more than 1049 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 1: four that I've seen that Carson Wentz did beat the 1050 00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,399 Speaker 1: Browns in his rookie year, uh in his first game. 1051 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,840 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco beat the Browns in his rookie year and 1052 00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,319 Speaker 1: minus when he was a three point favorite. UH. And 1053 00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 1: I think there was one other. I think Daniel Jones 1054 00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,840 Speaker 1: last year UM was a three point favorite against Washington 1055 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,640 Speaker 1: and beat them. But otherwise I see a three and 1056 00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:24,600 Speaker 1: ten against the spread and straight up record UM for 1057 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,400 Speaker 1: any rookie quarterback in this spot. Now, some people will say, well, 1058 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,839 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson was, you know, a six and a half 1059 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,480 Speaker 1: point favorite early on, but he was he had already 1060 00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,520 Speaker 1: played like eleven games. You know, this wasn't like he 1061 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:39,759 Speaker 1: wasn't like fresh um, you know, off off the sideline here, 1062 00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,239 Speaker 1: So a little bit different spot here. But I just 1063 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 1: think that you know, Herbert looked good. But again, when 1064 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,880 Speaker 1: you when you are a rookie quarterback and there's no 1065 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,319 Speaker 1: film on you, and you stepped in and all weeks 1066 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,600 Speaker 1: that Kansa City defense was preparing for Tyrod Taylor. It's 1067 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 1: a different it's a totally different scenario once you get 1068 00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,800 Speaker 1: a week to take. Carolina's defense is really bad, Okay, 1069 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,919 Speaker 1: really bad, maybe the worse in the NFL. So that's 1070 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,239 Speaker 1: that's where I get a little bit hesitant. But I 1071 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:05,759 Speaker 1: think that offense is gonna be able to move the 1072 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:09,120 Speaker 1: ball um and it wouldn't surprise me if if Carolina, 1073 00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,200 Speaker 1: you know, covers and wins this game. So I'm not 1074 00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,400 Speaker 1: I don't hate it at all, all right, sorry, t A. 1075 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,800 Speaker 1: There it is good, good lineup, good picks, and guys, 1076 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,200 Speaker 1: it's not just about the picks. It's the process, you know, 1077 00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,520 Speaker 1: like that's half the battle. Uh So I I you know, 1078 00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,760 Speaker 1: it's a tough week. It's a really tough week. Be careful. 1079 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:27,600 Speaker 1: Good luck to you, alright, Alright.

Interesting. Now, listen, 1094 00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 1: one of the things before we get to college football. 1095 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,640 Speaker 1: Early in the week, limits are low for NFL, so 1096 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:28,000 Speaker 1: sometimes you'll see groups trying to set up a number 1097 00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,120 Speaker 1: they bet on one side that they do not eventually 1098 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 1: want to drive the price down. And then later in 1099 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,280 Speaker 1: the week when the limits are higher a k a. Friday, Saturday, 1100 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:42,120 Speaker 1: and Sunday, then you go heavy with the number in 1101 00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,680 Speaker 1: your favors. So what are we seeing Saturday morning? Here 1102 00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,320 Speaker 1: comes the line movement Patriots which hit dipped down to 1103 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:52,920 Speaker 1: five and a half and five now back up to six. Um. 1104 00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:54,919 Speaker 1: The other one, Pittsburgh was the other one. I'm telling 1105 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:58,040 Speaker 1: you Pittsburgh's gonna crush the Texans. It got pushed down 1106 00:57:58,040 --> 00:57:59,560 Speaker 1: to four. I'm like, what the hell are people seeing? Now? 1107 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,400 Speaker 1: We're seeing four and a half. That's going to get 1108 00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 1: back to six by game time. Um, I just love 1109 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,560 Speaker 1: watching this NFL stuff.

Um, 1142 00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,680 Speaker 1: there are there are some Big ten teams that are 1143 00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,360 Speaker 1: ranked and they're certainly gonna jump right into the into 1144 00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:54,520 Speaker 1: the into the well they have been ranked in the preseason. 1145 00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:56,960 Speaker 1: But so when they do start playing. It's not like 1146 00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,920 Speaker 1: Penn State's gonna go from unranked to like number six 1147 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,200 Speaker 1: or something. You know, so they're just sort of idol. 1148 01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,040 Speaker 1: But you know you've got you do have legitimate top 1149 01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:08,440 Speaker 1: twenty five, top ten teams playing today like Florida and Auburn. 1150 01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,880 Speaker 1: You know. So then I guess the next question is, 1151 01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,120 Speaker 1: and again, the regular season is great and fine, blah 1152 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,760 Speaker 1: blah blah, but it's really all about the playoffs and 1153 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,120 Speaker 1: what is the deal with the playoff? I was Sam, like, 1154 01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:20,160 Speaker 1: can the PAC twelve get in their season is now 1155 01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,480 Speaker 1: going to start? Can the Big ten get in their 1156 01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,200 Speaker 1: season is now going to start? Or is that all 1157 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:27,320 Speaker 1: to be determined? Great questions? I mean, it's you know, 1158 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna have the SEC and you know some A 1159 01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,800 Speaker 1: SEC teams started a little earlier, maybe they have a 1160 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:35,800 Speaker 1: little bit more, a little bit more tape to look at. 1161 01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:38,040 Speaker 1: What is fair to you if you're a packed twelve team. 1162 01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,920 Speaker 1: Let's say you're Oregon and you you know, you get 1163 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,720 Speaker 1: you go undefeated, but you only played what are they 1164 01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,600 Speaker 1: playing six games or seven? Seven games? How many is 1165 01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,439 Speaker 1: I think they're playing ten? I think they're playing ten? 1166 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,120 Speaker 1: How many is the Big Ten playing Big Ten is 1167 01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,560 Speaker 1: playing eight actually with a ninth game a ninth game 1168 01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,720 Speaker 1: added on, So seven, eight, and ten, okay, yeah, so 1169 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,240 Speaker 1: it's around there, and how are you going to ug 1170 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,280 Speaker 1: like who's more deserving? You know, if you start a 1171 01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,040 Speaker 1: little later, maybe play for your games, you're going to 1172 01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:09,280 Speaker 1: be more fresh. Let's say Iowa goes seven or no, yeah, 1173 01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,040 Speaker 1: well and eight no, and then they have a ninth game. 1174 01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:16,040 Speaker 1: It's like the championships week, Championship week that they're gonna 1175 01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,640 Speaker 1: actually have this cross divisional lineup of games plus the 1176 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,600 Speaker 1: Big Ten title game for the ninth game of the season. 1177 01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 1: So it's almost like a bowl game. All right. So theoretically, 1178 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,400 Speaker 1: let's say there's two undefeated Big Ten teams. That could happen, 1179 01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:32,760 Speaker 1: right if you're not. So if you're number one on 1180 01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:34,760 Speaker 1: the East, you're gonna play number one in the West. Yes, 1181 01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:36,680 Speaker 1: one of those obviously will lose. But what if the 1182 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:40,520 Speaker 1: number two team in each is also undefeated. Well, you're 1183 01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,640 Speaker 1: gonna play all your division. You're gonna play all your 1184 01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:46,920 Speaker 1: division teams, So there's no way that a two teams 1185 01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:48,680 Speaker 1: in the same division could be undefeated because they're gonna 1186 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:52,000 Speaker 1: play each other. So that shouldn't shouldn't be worried. You 1187 01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 1: might have two undefeited teams coming into the child. Ohio 1188 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:59,439 Speaker 1: State is eight, no, yes, let's say Wisconsin is eight. No. Well, 1189 01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,640 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, let's one big ten team, fine, 1190 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:05,520 Speaker 1: Wisconsin at Wisconsin or Minnesota or something. But Ohio State 1191 01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 1: is the last team standing that's that hasn't lost a game. 1192 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,600 Speaker 1: But in the SEC where they're not doing that, right, 1193 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 1: there could be two undefeated SEC teams or no. Well, 1194 01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,840 Speaker 1: I know, I don't think so. I think that they're 1195 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,280 Speaker 1: playing their division foes and then they're gonna I just 1196 01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:21,840 Speaker 1: would think it would be very unlikely they're gonna have 1197 01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:26,720 Speaker 1: a division team. Uh, you're gonna have only one undefeated 1198 01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,520 Speaker 1: team from each conference. So so then the case is 1199 01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,000 Speaker 1: going to be is a seven and one l s 1200 01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,200 Speaker 1: U with their one loss to number one Alabama more 1201 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:39,320 Speaker 1: deserving than Ohio State, which only played We get into 1202 01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 1: that discussion every year, like how are we going to 1203 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:44,240 Speaker 1: move teams around? Who's more deserving? But this this one's 1204 01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,280 Speaker 1: it looks like there could be three more games for 1205 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,720 Speaker 1: one league, right, yes, yeah, which you know that seems 1206 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:53,240 Speaker 1: more significant. The problem is that we don't have nonconference games. 1207 01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,360 Speaker 1: That's help us determine, like what league is a little 1208 01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,880 Speaker 1: bit of more value this year than others? So that's 1209 01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:00,360 Speaker 1: what are they going to rely on? The eye test, 1210 01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,160 Speaker 1: their stats high test. It's really gonna come down to 1211 01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,320 Speaker 1: did you go undefeated? You know, did you take care 1212 01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,600 Speaker 1: of your division? And then you're gonna have you know, 1213 01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:10,240 Speaker 1: six seven teams to choose from and only the top 1214 01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:11,960 Speaker 1: four and get it. Maybe we should expand the playoff. 1215 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,880 Speaker 1: That's just my Yes, that's my boy. La Sam all right, 1216 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:18,520 Speaker 1: coming up next to her Unfoxed Sports Radio, I'm gonna 1217 01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:21,320 Speaker 1: go into the NBA real quick talk with a Lakers 1218 01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,880 Speaker 1: writer about that.

I'm in l A, 1264 01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:14,120 Speaker 1: but I'm enjoying watching it, at least from Afar. Yeah. Yeah, 1265 01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:17,240 Speaker 1: So I said that Lebron haters went into hiding after 1266 01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 1: that masterful Game four. So he gets to the free 1267 01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,960 Speaker 1: throw line, no turnovers, locks down, Jamal Murray La, I mean, 1268 01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,080 Speaker 1: what can't this guy do? Lebron It just and and 1269 01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 1: people just still don't want to give him Eric It's 1270 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:30,800 Speaker 1: at this point it's a little creepy, is it not. 1271 01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,840 Speaker 1: You know, I covered a lot of time with Kobe, 1272 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:36,960 Speaker 1: the late Kobe Bryant, and there was a lot of 1273 01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,480 Speaker 1: hate towards him. I got there at the tail in 1274 01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:42,360 Speaker 1: the shack, so I didn't really get a chance to 1275 01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:45,640 Speaker 1: see that up close before he want But I was 1276 01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,160 Speaker 1: around for that time and I know that. Yeah, there's 1277 01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,680 Speaker 1: just there. There are people who, even till the end, 1278 01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:55,680 Speaker 1: tried to deny Michael Jordan's There's a certain uh hayter 1279 01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:57,840 Speaker 1: ad that goes out there. I don't really get it 1280 01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:02,720 Speaker 1: being around Lebron. Don't know him better than some maybe 1281 01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:06,640 Speaker 1: a little better than others because just covering the team. Uh, 1282 01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:10,439 Speaker 1: he's he's a very impressive person beyond what he does 1283 01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:14,080 Speaker 1: on the court. Uh, you know, he takes his role 1284 01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:17,920 Speaker 1: as a leader in this community, in this world very seriously. 1285 01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,760 Speaker 1: That's some really great things beyond the court. But when 1286 01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:24,200 Speaker 1: you watch what he does, I mean, he's like a 1287 01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:28,240 Speaker 1: supercharged Magic Johnson. Uh, you know, he's a bull when 1288 01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:30,600 Speaker 1: it comes to getting into the basket. He's just so strong, 1289 01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,880 Speaker 1: bigger than anybody else. Uh, you know, as far as 1290 01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:37,560 Speaker 1: his position, and yet his ability to throw passes to 1291 01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,880 Speaker 1: anybody on the court and orchestrate an entire team is 1292 01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:44,080 Speaker 1: really at a Michael rather at a Magic Johnson level. Yeah. 1293 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,440 Speaker 1: And you don't even mention the defense. I mean, Lebron 1294 01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:51,080 Speaker 1: plays phenomenal defense. My Magic Johnson never a great defender. Um, 1295 01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,560 Speaker 1: But with the way Lebron shut down Jamal Murray late 1296 01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:55,320 Speaker 1: in the fourth on the two drives to the bucket 1297 01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,920 Speaker 1: because the Lakers have nobody to guard him, I mean, 1298 01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:01,120 Speaker 1: Caruso is just getting embarrassed. But said it's Jamal Murray. 1299 01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:02,840 Speaker 1: I mean he's putting him in a blender every time 1300 01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:05,919 Speaker 1: down the court. Um, I do want to talk away 1301 01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:09,560 Speaker 1: from Lebron for sick Eric. When I look at um 1302 01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:13,160 Speaker 1: the Lakers and their their need for a third score. 1303 01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,680 Speaker 1: They've had relied heavily on Anthony Davis in the series. 1304 01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:19,160 Speaker 1: We know what Lebron is gonna give you this idea 1305 01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:22,160 Speaker 1: that Kuzma can be the third guy. Do you have 1306 01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:25,200 Speaker 1: any insight as to what the hell happened in Game four? 1307 01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:28,599 Speaker 1: Because he was on fire early and then he got 1308 01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,760 Speaker 1: beat by Michael Porter Jr. Like a couple of times, 1309 01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:33,280 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Kuzma basically gets benched. I 1310 01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,800 Speaker 1: think he played three minutes in the second half. Well, 1311 01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:41,599 Speaker 1: Frank Vogel, first and foremost is a defensive coach. I mean, 1312 01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:45,200 Speaker 1: that's that's what he brings the table. When you have 1313 01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:49,280 Speaker 1: the scoring of Anthony Davis scoring in the leadership of 1314 01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:52,880 Speaker 1: Lebron James. If you play defense as a team, you're 1315 01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,880 Speaker 1: gonna have a chance to win a title. Uh. And 1316 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,160 Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily matter who got their score, they'll get 1317 01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:02,200 Speaker 1: it by committee. Uh. Who's in the Rockets series played 1318 01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:04,280 Speaker 1: some of the best defense I've ever seen him play, 1319 01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,960 Speaker 1: and against the Blazers for the most part, played really 1320 01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:11,200 Speaker 1: great defense against the Nuggets. No, he's not playing well, 1321 01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:13,920 Speaker 1: and it's it has to do with matchups. It has 1322 01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:17,400 Speaker 1: to do with he came into the league as probably 1323 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,559 Speaker 1: a below average defender, not a very good defender, and 1324 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:25,360 Speaker 1: there are he's made massive strides, but he's still an 1325 01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:31,519 Speaker 1: imperfect player. And against the taller players like Michael Porter Jr. Uh, 1326 01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:36,960 Speaker 1: he's just he's not nearly as good. Uh. When he 1327 01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:42,679 Speaker 1: struggled defensively, that was a problem because the Lakers in Voguel, 1328 01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:46,320 Speaker 1: they know that they have to win defensively because that's 1329 01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:50,560 Speaker 1: that's who the Nuggets are. There a team that puts tremendous, tremendous, 1330 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:54,479 Speaker 1: tremendous pressure on any team to stop them. They're not 1331 01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:57,120 Speaker 1: a great defensive team. They're a good defensive team, not 1332 01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:59,599 Speaker 1: a great one. But they beat teams by outscoring them. 1333 01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,000 Speaker 1: That's very hard to do. But they're in Most teams 1334 01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:04,799 Speaker 1: that that are that way don't succeed. But we're seeing 1335 01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:07,680 Speaker 1: how how good they are. I mean, Jamal Murray is 1336 01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,200 Speaker 1: just absolutely ridiculous. And NICOLEA. Yokich, the Lakers have done 1337 01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:13,120 Speaker 1: a previous in the job on. We saw what he 1338 01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,679 Speaker 1: did to the Clippers. So you know, from Frank Vogel's 1339 01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:17,040 Speaker 1: point of view, and you know, I don't know this 1340 01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:20,800 Speaker 1: for certain, but I'm pretty confident he's more worried about 1341 01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:24,680 Speaker 1: getting stops. Uh, and if if Kuzman is not going 1342 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:26,559 Speaker 1: to execute what they need to do, then he's gotta 1343 01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:30,040 Speaker 1: sit Chaco was Eric Pinkus of Leader Report. Now, the 1344 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 1: problem with this Kuzma situation is in the finals, whether 1345 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:39,200 Speaker 1: it's against the wing heavy Celtics or a Miami Heat 1346 01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:43,640 Speaker 1: team that's very versatile, they're gonna need Kuzma. Um. The 1347 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:46,240 Speaker 1: Heat are a great offensive shooting machine when they get 1348 01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:48,000 Speaker 1: the three's working. I know they haven't been working in 1349 01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,720 Speaker 1: the last couple of games, but they're gonna need him 1350 01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:54,679 Speaker 1: Like this, you can't trot out Rondo and Caruso uh 1351 01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:57,439 Speaker 1: to close games with k c P against Boston. That's 1352 01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:00,639 Speaker 1: just not gonna work. Um do you have? I mean, like, listen, 1353 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:03,680 Speaker 1: I'm not poo pooing the Lakers chances of winning the title, Eric, 1354 01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:07,479 Speaker 1: but what's worked so far in this series, I don't 1355 01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:09,960 Speaker 1: know if it's going to work in the finals. Look, 1356 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,479 Speaker 1: if we're talking about Kuzma, I think he fits in 1357 01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,800 Speaker 1: against the next two teams more so than he does 1358 01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:19,040 Speaker 1: against Denver especially. You know, like the Heat are for 1359 01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,519 Speaker 1: the most part guard driven. You've got Druggs, You've got 1360 01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:25,720 Speaker 1: Hero and Jimmy is Jimmy would be a tough cover 1361 01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:30,880 Speaker 1: for for uh for Kuzma, But Duncan Robinson is someone 1362 01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:34,240 Speaker 1: who I think Kuzma would be good at chasing around. 1363 01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:38,400 Speaker 1: He's listen to Eric. There have been games where If 1364 01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:44,479 Speaker 1: Tyler heroes cooking Duncan plays like twenty minutes between those 1365 01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:47,679 Speaker 1: three guys, I think that Kuzma switches onto them. Well, 1366 01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:51,600 Speaker 1: it's the taller players, the bigger players, and the stronger players. 1367 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:55,439 Speaker 1: So uh, he did have some success against Kauai, but 1368 01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:57,719 Speaker 1: early on in the season he got cooked and destroyed 1369 01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:00,240 Speaker 1: by Kauai. So it's hit or miss on how we 1370 01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,080 Speaker 1: do against junior Butler with someone who's like six ten 1371 01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:06,880 Speaker 1: eleven Harvard toall Michael Porter Jr. Is that's where it's 1372 01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:08,920 Speaker 1: really more of an issue. So, like I said, if 1373 01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,960 Speaker 1: you watched Kuzman's defense, and if you listen to the broadcast, 1374 01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:14,280 Speaker 1: they're spending all this time praising how good he was, 1375 01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:16,800 Speaker 1: because he really was. He was he there are certain 1376 01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:18,760 Speaker 1: things that he does really well as a defender, and 1377 01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,240 Speaker 1: there are certain things he's a negative. So it's a 1378 01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:25,320 Speaker 1: matchup thing. It's it's just like if the you know, 1379 01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,840 Speaker 1: it's like anything like the if the Rockets hadn't drawn 1380 01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,120 Speaker 1: the Lakers, we still might be talking about the Rockets. 1381 01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,320 Speaker 1: You know, have the Clippers not drawn the Nuggets, that 1382 01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:35,439 Speaker 1: was their terrible matchup. It's that's what playoffs are about. 1383 01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:38,280 Speaker 1: It's almost a different sport. And all the numbers and 1384 01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:41,320 Speaker 1: all the analytics and everything that you look at over 1385 01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:44,479 Speaker 1: the regular season and series two series, they may not 1386 01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:47,599 Speaker 1: be predictive and may not apply to you know, those 1387 01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:51,600 Speaker 1: specific matches. You know, Lakers versus the Heat, Lakers versus Celtics. 1388 01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,400 Speaker 1: There are different puzzles. When you look at what the 1389 01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:57,760 Speaker 1: Nuggets are, they are a team that has only two 1390 01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:00,360 Speaker 1: players that are really the point of attack. You have 1391 01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:03,280 Speaker 1: Nicole yogur Ch and Jamal Murray. You know where their 1392 01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:06,160 Speaker 1: offense is coming from. But we've seen when someone else 1393 01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:09,400 Speaker 1: gets hot, then the Nuggets are are very hard to beat. 1394 01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:10,760 Speaker 1: But the Lakers know how to go in there and 1395 01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:13,719 Speaker 1: defend them. The Rockets same thing. It was basically games 1396 01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,760 Speaker 1: hardened and yeah there was some Westbrook and maybe Eric 1397 01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:18,960 Speaker 1: Gordon or the Blazers. You knew it was c. J. 1398 01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:23,400 Speaker 1: McCullum and Dame Lillard. But these other teams, the ones remaining, 1399 01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:26,320 Speaker 1: they have more than just two points of attack and 1400 01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,439 Speaker 1: so they're harder to defend. Absolutely. I mean the Heat 1401 01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:34,200 Speaker 1: played defense at an absolute monster level. To the Celtics. 1402 01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 1: I think are probably a slight notch blow defensively compared 1403 01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:42,240 Speaker 1: to Miami, but they are more a little more diverse offensively. So, 1404 01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,680 Speaker 1: you know, really tough matchups headed on some levels, but 1405 01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:47,080 Speaker 1: then you've got to deal with a d You've got 1406 01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,160 Speaker 1: to deal with Lebron James. And they have enough scoring 1407 01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:54,840 Speaker 1: from everybody else k CP, a little bit from Danny Green, 1408 01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:58,320 Speaker 1: some from Couz and my son from Marquis Morris. Whatever. 1409 01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:01,400 Speaker 1: Lakers are getting it done. I I think they're still 1410 01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:03,800 Speaker 1: a favorite against whoever they play. But I don't think 1411 01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:08,160 Speaker 1: it's all right quick one to wrap up here. Who's 1412 01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:13,000 Speaker 1: been the best player to date in the NBA playoffs? Ah, 1413 01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:17,040 Speaker 1: that's a tough one to you know, the best individual scorer, 1414 01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,360 Speaker 1: the best player overall overall player. I would say scorer 1415 01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:26,519 Speaker 1: has to be Jamal Murray score, Jamal Murray best overall player. Well, 1416 01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna go with someone who's the best player remaining? 1417 01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:33,320 Speaker 1: Is Lebron I mean, been better than Anthony Davis in 1418 01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:40,360 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and I think Davis, Anthony Davis. As brilliant 1419 01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:44,920 Speaker 1: as he's been is enabled by Lebron. I don't think 1420 01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,920 Speaker 1: he can be what he can be without Lebron creating that, 1421 01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:52,759 Speaker 1: without all the attention on Lebron, that and Lebron setting 1422 01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:54,959 Speaker 1: him up. But you know, we've also seen he's dominated 1423 01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,679 Speaker 1: when Lebron sat and Rondo has been in the point guards. 1424 01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:01,280 Speaker 1: So you know, the Lakers have of the absolute best 1425 01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:04,840 Speaker 1: players in the NBA still acting. I mean, Jason Tatum 1426 01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:09,120 Speaker 1: has been great, Uh, Jamal Murray, those are the ones 1427 01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:12,120 Speaker 1: who are left right. Well, Jimmy Butler has been absolutely fantastic. 1428 01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:16,960 Speaker 1: But according to NBA Player Efficiency Rating, Donovan Mitchell was one, 1429 01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,479 Speaker 1: Janice was two, number three, Anthony Davis number four, Lebron 1430 01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,559 Speaker 1: James um And I'm trying to think about it because 1431 01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:25,439 Speaker 1: I'm spinning it forward, and a lot can happen in 1432 01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,400 Speaker 1: the finals as two Lakers win the championship, and just 1433 01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:30,200 Speaker 1: if what happens if a d wins the m v 1434 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:31,960 Speaker 1: P over Lebron And we don't have time to get 1435 01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,120 Speaker 1: into that, and that's way way down the road, Eric, 1436 01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,559 Speaker 1: but we will invite you back to talk about that. 1437 01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,280 Speaker 1: Thanks a lot for the time, Eric Pinks at Eric 1438 01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:43,240 Speaker 1: p I n c Us on Twitter. Eric, good stuff. 1439 01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:49,840 Speaker 1: Enjoy the Lakers win tonight. Um, yeah, good stuff from Eric. Listen. 1440 01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:52,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to make it about Lebron verse a D, 1441 01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,360 Speaker 1: but I think I just did on accident Kevin uh 1442 01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:57,400 Speaker 1: and listen that Listen. This is gonna be a thing. 1443 01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:01,320 Speaker 1: It is. I already could see the the Yakker's my man, 1444 01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:05,200 Speaker 1: Rob Parker, He's gonna be out. How could Lebron be 1445 01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:09,880 Speaker 1: the best over a D? Just one Finals MVP. It's 1446 01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:11,840 Speaker 1: just same with Jeff Corey, you know, like you can 1447 01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:15,479 Speaker 1: understand when you're going for the goat title, you're gonna 1448 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:19,000 Speaker 1: get that criticism. Yes, that's why he's treated differently than 1449 01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:23,880 Speaker 1: Paul George or these other salts. Playoff coming up next 1450 01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:28,559 Speaker 1: year on Fox Sports Radio. Um, we we're gonna maybe 1451 01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:30,519 Speaker 1: go into the social dilemma if I was him and 1452 01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,640 Speaker 1: seen it. But given the history of the show, I 1453 01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:35,719 Speaker 1: was him.

And 1483 01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:12,840 Speaker 1: I've noticed a lot of these kids are trying to 1484 01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:14,360 Speaker 1: come back now. They were like, yeah, I'm not gonna 1485 01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,799 Speaker 1: play COVID, blah blah blah, and now it's like safe 1486 01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:18,920 Speaker 1: in the testing.

I still think 1489 01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,599 Speaker 1: Russo is out. He is that Okay. So the kid Parsons, 1490 01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:29,880 Speaker 1: the Penn State linebacker, he's been out here in l 1491 01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:32,840 Speaker 1: A like, working out, he got an agent and everything. 1492 01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:34,479 Speaker 1: I mean, will they let him back on the team. 1493 01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:37,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think they will. A lot of 1494 01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:39,320 Speaker 1: this had to do I think with not just COVID, 1495 01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,200 Speaker 1: but also the fact that if you're playing in the spring, 1496 01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:44,600 Speaker 1: you're you're playing right up until the combine in the 1497 01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:48,920 Speaker 1: NFL draft. You know, actually so FCS that Football Championship Subdivision, 1498 01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:51,519 Speaker 1: their playoffs are going to be going on during the 1499 01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:54,920 Speaker 1: NFL Draft, So it's gonna be a little, uh a 1500 01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:58,000 Speaker 1: little crazy there. Yeah. Now I don't know. I mean, listen, 1501 01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:01,680 Speaker 1: I like the potential of spring football, but as I've 1502 01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:05,360 Speaker 1: been explaining most of the morning, like it, if you 1503 01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:08,439 Speaker 1: want to have like a social life and you want 1504 01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:10,360 Speaker 1: to spend time with your family and like be an 1505 01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:13,400 Speaker 1: attentive dad, You've got to give up some stuff. There's 1506 01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:17,000 Speaker 1: just no way I can't be dialed into every baseball 1507 01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:21,720 Speaker 1: game I have hockey. I'm sorry, I for me, there 1508 01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:24,400 Speaker 1: just isn't value in knowing what's going on in hockey. 1509 01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,439 Speaker 1: There just isn't. It's not gonna be a huge talking 1510 01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:30,600 Speaker 1: point on the show. I don't. The numbers kind of 1511 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,960 Speaker 1: bear it out in the ratings. I'm never gonna get 1512 01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:36,280 Speaker 1: asked about hockey on an FS one TV. It just 1513 01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:40,160 Speaker 1: doesn't happen. And so you gotta make these decisions. It's 1514 01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:42,439 Speaker 1: kind of tough. Like I would say, I'm Social Dilemma 1515 01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:46,360 Speaker 1: show on Netflix. Have you seen it? I actually watched 1516 01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:48,760 Speaker 1: about an hour of it, forty five minutes to an hour, 1517 01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:52,240 Speaker 1: and it didn't hold my attention very well. It was 1518 01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:54,439 Speaker 1: like a little bit predictable, and then the stylistically it 1519 01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:56,800 Speaker 1: kind of went off in its own direction. It was 1520 01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:59,880 Speaker 1: sort of some weird I don't know, little interludes and stuff. 1521 01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:03,040 Speaker 1: It just I couldn't finish it. I couldn't finish Bill 1522 01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:06,880 Speaker 1: and Ted's new movie either. So if that's an seaming already, yeah, 1523 01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:10,280 Speaker 1: it's been a huh I Sam interesting. I just have 1524 01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,200 Speaker 1: a short attention. Were you watching it with the wife 1525 01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:18,080 Speaker 1: or now the girlfriend? Yeah? I was, Yeah, Um, I 1526 01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:20,400 Speaker 1: think I don't know, maybe a little more a little 1527 01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,320 Speaker 1: the same. Were you guys scanning TikTok during while watching it? 1528 01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:27,519 Speaker 1: No TikTok? No Twitter? Um? Possibly, I don't remember. But 1529 01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:29,560 Speaker 1: it didn't really hold my attention. I do have a 1530 01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:34,080 Speaker 1: documentary recommendation I started last night on HBO Max. It's 1531 01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:38,480 Speaker 1: called Class Action Park and it is about an insanely 1532 01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:42,439 Speaker 1: dangerous water park that existed in like the eighties and nineties. 1533 01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 1: It was in New Jersey.

Yeah, And uh, you know, 1552 01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:48,799 Speaker 1: Patrick really has carved out a strong niche for himself 1553 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,679 Speaker 1: in telling people where the big bets are coming in 1554 01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:54,960 Speaker 1: in Vegas. We've seen a lot of people copy that 1555 01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:57,639 Speaker 1: and and try to piggyback off his stop. Listen. It's smart, 1556 01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:00,599 Speaker 1: it's it's a nod to you Patrick that you uh 1557 01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:03,640 Speaker 1: have have really been at the forefront of that. And 1558 01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:06,439 Speaker 1: I guess we'll start with college football. Kicking off any 1559 01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:10,240 Speaker 1: big money move, any big lines. I gotta plead ignorance. 1560 01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,719 Speaker 1: I did not look too much at the college football 1561 01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,240 Speaker 1: card this weekend, mostly due to COVID, but also because 1562 01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:17,800 Speaker 1: it's a crazy week in the NFL. UM. But I 1563 01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:19,800 Speaker 1: guess let's start with college football. What have you seen 1564 01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:23,120 Speaker 1: out there or what are you hearing about today's games? Well, 1565 01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:25,960 Speaker 1: there's there's a there's a lot of interesting, interesting things 1566 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,880 Speaker 1: going on. What I found kind of kind of most 1567 01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:32,040 Speaker 1: fascinating is, as you pointed out, some of these, some 1568 01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:34,559 Speaker 1: of these large bets, especially when you've got these, you know, 1569 01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,600 Speaker 1: either lesser known games or games with big teams and 1570 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:41,040 Speaker 1: massive spread. Is it's you know, you end up with 1571 01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:43,760 Speaker 1: with with the books sometimes end up with decisions in 1572 01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:46,360 Speaker 1: places where they don't really think they would. And I 1573 01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:48,200 Speaker 1: thought this was one that was kind of interesting, even 1574 01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:51,160 Speaker 1: though it's a small game. Uh. Talking with Scott Shelton 1575 01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:54,280 Speaker 1: at bet MGM late last night, he said, Texas al 1576 01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:57,400 Speaker 1: Passo Louisiana Monroe one of our one of our biggest 1577 01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:59,960 Speaker 1: decisions today because somebody put a mid five figure bet 1578 01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,679 Speaker 1: and on Texas they'll passed. And he said, that's basically 1579 01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:05,439 Speaker 1: what's on the whole game. So the whole game is 1580 01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:08,840 Speaker 1: coming off that one bet. But uh, you know, but 1581 01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:11,040 Speaker 1: as far as some of the larger games, especially you know, 1582 01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:12,639 Speaker 1: you've got a couple of kicking off soon. I think 1583 01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:16,000 Speaker 1: you mentioned Alabama a few minutes ago. Obviously, Uh, you know, 1584 01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:17,800 Speaker 1: they're going to get their share of play, even though 1585 01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,880 Speaker 1: it's a ton, ton ton of points. And I talked 1586 01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:22,759 Speaker 1: about that with the guys of William Hills the spawning 1587 01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:25,960 Speaker 1: and even with the spread being twenty seven and a 1588 01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:27,920 Speaker 1: half twenty eight and a half, depend on where you're looking, 1589 01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:31,559 Speaker 1: that we're gonna need Alabama for a lot. And that 1590 01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:34,639 Speaker 1: seems to be the case on a few of these favorites. Um. 1591 01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:36,720 Speaker 1: Although interestingly a couple of you know, a couple of 1592 01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:40,439 Speaker 1: numbers have have come down a little bit. I think 1593 01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:43,000 Speaker 1: I think I saw the you know, depending on when 1594 01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:44,720 Speaker 1: it opened, but some places open the l s U 1595 01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:46,400 Speaker 1: in the area of nineteen or so, and I think 1596 01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:49,479 Speaker 1: I saw that down to sixteen and a half. Actually, 1597 01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:51,879 Speaker 1: some play on you know, some play on the underdog. 1598 01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:54,680 Speaker 1: There and I would you know, it's certainly probably some 1599 01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:56,920 Speaker 1: professional players getting involved in that game. It's just so 1600 01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,760 Speaker 1: much uncertainty, Patrick, I mean, no fans and a lot 1601 01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:02,839 Speaker 1: of these games or not many fans. In college football, 1602 01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:05,880 Speaker 1: the atmosphere almost feels like it has way more of 1603 01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:07,880 Speaker 1: an impact in the NFL. I guess the NFL is 1604 01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:10,960 Speaker 1: more of a travel deal. But I want to go 1605 01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:14,400 Speaker 1: back to that you tap game, so mid five figures 1606 01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:17,400 Speaker 1: on you tap versus Louisiana. When I hear that, my 1607 01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:19,760 Speaker 1: first thing is, all right, maybe somebody knows something about 1608 01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:24,080 Speaker 1: a COVID UH illness situation, or somebody is inside intel 1609 01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:27,040 Speaker 1: on you tap, because I don't see how anybody could 1610 01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,040 Speaker 1: find a major edge in in like a matchup of 1611 01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,160 Speaker 1: those two teams. Were there just isn't a ton of 1612 01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,320 Speaker 1: information out there. No, that's a fair point, and that 1613 01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:37,559 Speaker 1: that that could well be the case. I haven't. I 1614 01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:41,559 Speaker 1: haven't seen anything personally. I do know that, you know, 1615 01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,799 Speaker 1: when you get to I again, I wouldn't be surprised 1616 01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:47,839 Speaker 1: if there was. Maybe it feels like they know something. 1617 01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:51,519 Speaker 1: But when you get to weekends football weekends in Las 1618 01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:54,720 Speaker 1: Vegas and you get especially this this that came in 1619 01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:56,559 Speaker 1: at one of the m JAM properties here in town. 1620 01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:00,599 Speaker 1: They just get so many you know, you know, high 1621 01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:04,720 Speaker 1: roller house type players that um, you know, that just 1622 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,439 Speaker 1: want to fire. And usually they're firing on games that 1623 01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:09,920 Speaker 1: you would expect them to be firing on, like, uh, 1624 01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,360 Speaker 1: you know, like you know l s U or Alabama 1625 01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:15,840 Speaker 1: or maybe the Florida State Miami games tonight or or 1626 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,760 Speaker 1: something along those lines. It's not usually you tap in 1627 01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:22,080 Speaker 1: Louisiana Monroe, but but every now and then it is. 1628 01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:24,880 Speaker 1: So it's it's just a it's a it's a weird 1629 01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,639 Speaker 1: animal up here, all right. So Patrick Everson, senior writer 1630 01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:30,280 Speaker 1: Covers dot com. You can follow him on on Twitter 1631 01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:34,040 Speaker 1: at Covers Underscore Vegas. Uh So, Patrick, let me ask 1632 01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:37,320 Speaker 1: you this. When you look at the NFL card this 1633 01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:41,000 Speaker 1: weekend and and I know we just said that you 1634 01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:43,160 Speaker 1: tip there was a mid five figure bet, there's a 1635 01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:45,640 Speaker 1: lot of six figure bets coming into the NFL. I 1636 01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:47,559 Speaker 1: want you to explain to the audience because people are 1637 01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:50,280 Speaker 1: gonna hear stuff and be like, oh, somebody that three 1638 01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:54,280 Speaker 1: dollars on this, they must know something. Can you differentiate 1639 01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:57,840 Speaker 1: when you hear about these big bets from that guy 1640 01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:01,000 Speaker 1: is a respected better who's gonna move the line, or 1641 01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:04,679 Speaker 1: this is just a guy who's betting a lot of money, 1642 01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:07,200 Speaker 1: doesn't have it, you know, isn't it doesn't have a 1643 01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:09,320 Speaker 1: track record of winning. But we're gonna take his money. 1644 01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:13,680 Speaker 1: We're not gonna move the line. Well, and they they 1645 01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:15,599 Speaker 1: may not move the line, or if they do, it 1646 01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:18,320 Speaker 1: maybe may just be a modest move even relative to 1647 01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:20,720 Speaker 1: the money coming in. But what I would say is 1648 01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:27,200 Speaker 1: probably nine times out of ten, that's just a large 1649 01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:30,280 Speaker 1: casino player who probably spends a lot of money in 1650 01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:34,759 Speaker 1: other areas of the casino floor, you know, table games 1651 01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:38,920 Speaker 1: and slots and you know, black jack and poker and 1652 01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:42,919 Speaker 1: who knows what else. And with that, they are granted 1653 01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:46,519 Speaker 1: limits that aren't that wouldn't necessarily normally be available to others. 1654 01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:53,200 Speaker 1: And with that, you know, you're not gonna see put 1655 01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:56,680 Speaker 1: players that are identified as absolutely sharp players are not 1656 01:26:56,720 --> 01:26:58,800 Speaker 1: going to get those kinds of limits at all. It's 1657 01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:01,799 Speaker 1: just it's it's it's very rare that that would happen. 1658 01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,879 Speaker 1: So it's almost so it was just a large casino 1659 01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:07,320 Speaker 1: player who But I do know, you know, I know 1660 01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:09,640 Speaker 1: a few of these guys who play big, maybe not 1661 01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:12,400 Speaker 1: six figures, but play five figures play regularly mid five 1662 01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:14,840 Speaker 1: figures even, and uh, I know a few of them 1663 01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:18,800 Speaker 1: who are pretty darn smart. They're they're pretty with it um. 1664 01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:21,639 Speaker 1: But but generally speaking, when you're talking about those six 1665 01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:23,759 Speaker 1: figure beats and you're seeing like, you know, a hundred 1666 01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,120 Speaker 1: fifty here or two hundred there. I think there was 1667 01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:29,439 Speaker 1: like a four fifty on the on on on one 1668 01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:31,880 Speaker 1: of the games last weekend, a total I can't recall, 1669 01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:35,360 Speaker 1: stop my head, but just something really really wild. It's 1670 01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:38,200 Speaker 1: gonna be, generally speaking, it's not a sharp player. It's 1671 01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:41,559 Speaker 1: going to be more of a public caliber better who 1672 01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:45,680 Speaker 1: it just has a high high line, high limit at 1673 01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:48,840 Speaker 1: these at these major sports books. Yeah, now that that's 1674 01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:51,040 Speaker 1: the other thing that you said that that kind of 1675 01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:54,280 Speaker 1: takes me off, Like they don't give the sharpest better 1676 01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:56,760 Speaker 1: is the smartest guys who went a lot, they just 1677 01:27:56,840 --> 01:28:00,759 Speaker 1: won't give them large limits. I mean, Patrick, how dumb 1678 01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:03,680 Speaker 1: is that? Like you're successful at gambling, so we're not 1679 01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:06,479 Speaker 1: gonna let you gamble anymore. I know that happens and everybody, 1680 01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:11,120 Speaker 1: but like, how frustrating is that? Well, it's certainly it's 1681 01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:14,400 Speaker 1: frustrating for the sharp players who you know what and 1682 01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 1: what it what it often does is it forces those 1683 01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:21,040 Speaker 1: players who who just want to get even you know, 1684 01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:23,960 Speaker 1: you know a relative would relatively be thought of as 1685 01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:26,559 Speaker 1: a reasonable amount of money down on a game. It 1686 01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:29,840 Speaker 1: forces them into the off shore market, which is, you know, 1687 01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:33,640 Speaker 1: or to some other market other than the legal, regulated 1688 01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:38,080 Speaker 1: US markets. So and you know that I would say 1689 01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:41,160 Speaker 1: that's understandable. I think, Um, you know, there are some 1690 01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:43,800 Speaker 1: books that will certainly take that. I mean, you're not 1691 01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:46,800 Speaker 1: gonna see even even the best books, even the books 1692 01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:49,960 Speaker 1: that absolutely will deal with sharp money, um and and 1693 01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:52,840 Speaker 1: not think twice about it. Uh, you know, Super Book 1694 01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:56,120 Speaker 1: being one of them, Circus Sports certainly being one of them. Um, 1695 01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:59,640 Speaker 1: you know, you know a couple of others. Perhaps they'll 1696 01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:03,559 Speaker 1: they'll give sharp players pretty good limits relative to them 1697 01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:07,280 Speaker 1: being sharp players. They're still not going to give them 1698 01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:11,040 Speaker 1: like Macress mac kind of kind of limits. That's just 1699 01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,040 Speaker 1: that's the guy who basically he doesn't know anything. He 1700 01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:18,080 Speaker 1: just goes around putting big money on teams. Right, And 1701 01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:21,679 Speaker 1: I don't know this guy, right, he just just bets 1702 01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:23,800 Speaker 1: on all right. So let's look at all this as 1703 01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:27,120 Speaker 1: it pertains to Week three. Have you seen any sharp 1704 01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:30,080 Speaker 1: respected money come in on any teams yet. And by 1705 01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:32,280 Speaker 1: the way, we should preface this, Patrick, just because it's sharp, 1706 01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:36,479 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean these guys are winning one of their bets, right, 1707 01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:38,920 Speaker 1: All these guys are with ing everybody does. I mean, 1708 01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:42,240 Speaker 1: if you have you're like amazing, right right, If you're 1709 01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:45,599 Speaker 1: hitting sixty percent, you're doing fantastic um and and sharp 1710 01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:49,960 Speaker 1: players would would love to take that. So just running through, uh, 1711 01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, a few of the games on the on 1712 01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:54,640 Speaker 1: on the card this week. Early in the week, the 1713 01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:57,240 Speaker 1: taxans definitely got some sharp money. That line went from 1714 01:29:57,280 --> 01:30:01,599 Speaker 1: six down to four at the super book in really 1715 01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:03,800 Speaker 1: before the middle of the week. By Tuesday it was 1716 01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:05,840 Speaker 1: down to fourth. Okay, hold on, so let me stop 1717 01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:08,360 Speaker 1: you there, Patrick, So six to four middle of the week. 1718 01:30:08,640 --> 01:30:11,559 Speaker 1: Now you can't can you get down two dollars on 1719 01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:13,880 Speaker 1: a team on Tuesday or Wednesday? Or is that? Aren't 1720 01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:16,519 Speaker 1: there lower limits at some books in the Yeah? Usually 1721 01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:19,760 Speaker 1: what most books do with their limits will increase as 1722 01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:22,880 Speaker 1: you get closer to game days and they'll know being 1723 01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:27,320 Speaker 1: highest being highest on Sunday. Okay. So it's funny you 1724 01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:30,280 Speaker 1: mentioned that because I just looked earlier this morning and 1725 01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:33,720 Speaker 1: it looks like that line had pinged back up. So 1726 01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:37,360 Speaker 1: do you think this person or this group was shoving 1727 01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:41,519 Speaker 1: the line down from six to four on um the 1728 01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:44,760 Speaker 1: Steelers in hopes of coming back heavier at a better number, 1729 01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:48,799 Speaker 1: say four, that that's the possibility, and that certainly happened. 1730 01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:52,360 Speaker 1: I would think what will and especially because it's happening today, 1731 01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:55,240 Speaker 1: if that may be the case, coming into a better 1732 01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:58,280 Speaker 1: number later in the week after after after that numbers 1733 01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:01,680 Speaker 1: being brought down. But also the Steelers are going to 1734 01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:03,800 Speaker 1: be the more public places, so I think it's gonna 1735 01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:07,599 Speaker 1: come back up anyway. But but but to your point 1736 01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:09,360 Speaker 1: on sharp, that was a game early in the week 1737 01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:14,160 Speaker 1: that that definitely had some sharp money. Uh the uh 1738 01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:18,120 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers Broncos looks like maybe some sharp looks looks 1739 01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:20,120 Speaker 1: like maybe some sharp play on the under. This is 1740 01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:24,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of the prognosticating a little bit with 1741 01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:29,560 Speaker 1: uh because the under it for example, at draft or 1742 01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:33,519 Speaker 1: rather a sandel the under was getting six of the 1743 01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:38,439 Speaker 1: money on only of the tickets through Friday night. So 1744 01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:42,080 Speaker 1: that's kind of a you know, indicative of perhaps some 1745 01:31:42,160 --> 01:31:45,679 Speaker 1: sharp Okay, okay, we're trying to teach Patrick the audience 1746 01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:50,200 Speaker 1: to become smarter. So where would they look for the smartest, 1747 01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:53,920 Speaker 1: sharpest books where the where the lines are the best 1748 01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:58,720 Speaker 1: for the for the gamblers like Sanduel. Uh, what you 1749 01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:01,479 Speaker 1: saw at Vandel was meaning to an under on the broncos. 1750 01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:03,600 Speaker 1: Is that because because of the Ticke account of the 1751 01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:06,720 Speaker 1: way that the disparity between the take account of the 1752 01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:09,679 Speaker 1: money often can tell you a little bit about where 1753 01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:12,240 Speaker 1: some sharp or where some respected play might be. Like 1754 01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:14,800 Speaker 1: I know so offshore, I know Pinnacle and Chris are 1755 01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:17,960 Speaker 1: very respected, but is there any that like the general 1756 01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:21,800 Speaker 1: gambling audience can see, Uh, Fan Duel, is that that's 1757 01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:24,519 Speaker 1: considered a sharp book? Well, I would say I would 1758 01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:26,880 Speaker 1: say here, I would point first to here in Vegas. 1759 01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:29,240 Speaker 1: And not to say that anybody is or isn't, but 1760 01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:33,240 Speaker 1: just from firsthand knowledge, you know, the super book is 1761 01:32:33,240 --> 01:32:37,439 Speaker 1: going to take sharp play. Circus Sports is is staking 1762 01:32:37,439 --> 01:32:40,080 Speaker 1: its rebistrication on taking sharp play. I mean I even 1763 01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:43,519 Speaker 1: saw it. Just this morning. Somebody tweeted out, um, you know, 1764 01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:46,479 Speaker 1: you know, complaining about one book in Las Vegas while 1765 01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:49,599 Speaker 1: pointing which which I won't name, while pointing to another 1766 01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:52,200 Speaker 1: in law while pointing to circle and saying, hey, Circus 1767 01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:54,439 Speaker 1: just took you know, five thousand bucks on this game. 1768 01:32:54,439 --> 01:32:57,240 Speaker 1: I want to bet today and I can't even get 1769 01:32:57,320 --> 01:32:59,680 Speaker 1: you know, fifty or a hundred bucks down on a 1770 01:32:59,720 --> 01:33:03,200 Speaker 1: side it elsewhere. So you know, Circa is definitely gonna 1771 01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:06,840 Speaker 1: have really good, generally really good numbers. Matt metcalf in 1772 01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:09,160 Speaker 1: his crew there doing a really good job there there. 1773 01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:13,160 Speaker 1: You know, I would say they're being absolutely you know, fair, 1774 01:33:14,080 --> 01:33:15,960 Speaker 1: and I would absolutely say the same about Super Bowl 1775 01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:18,000 Speaker 1: and I'd say the same about other spots too. But 1776 01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:22,000 Speaker 1: but but that's something that that Circus really really try 1777 01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:24,679 Speaker 1: to drive in the year plus since they open interesting. 1778 01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:27,719 Speaker 1: So that we're gonna is that if you're a sharp better, um, 1779 01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:31,040 Speaker 1: we have limits, but we're gonna let you better. So 1780 01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:33,840 Speaker 1: it's funny you mentioned Circa or we went deep on 1781 01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:36,800 Speaker 1: Carolina Chargers earlier in the show. Okay, I'm in the 1782 01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:39,000 Speaker 1: circuit contest. I'm off to a pretty good start seven 1783 01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,840 Speaker 1: two and one, and I really want to take Carolina. 1784 01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:46,920 Speaker 1: But Patrick, I mean, like, on paper, it's tough for 1785 01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:49,920 Speaker 1: me to stomach that and make a case for Carolina. 1786 01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:51,720 Speaker 1: But now I just see it circle. The line's gone 1787 01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:53,760 Speaker 1: down from six and a half to six. I'm assuming 1788 01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:57,040 Speaker 1: that's a sharp big wager right, that's well maybe not 1789 01:33:57,200 --> 01:34:00,320 Speaker 1: maybe not big. It doesn't necessarily take big. There's a 1790 01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:03,640 Speaker 1: big way through the money a sharper. I mean, you 1791 01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:04,960 Speaker 1: could have a public player coming in and put a 1792 01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:07,000 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars down in the mountin Lineman not move. 1793 01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:08,599 Speaker 1: You could have a sharp guy come in and put 1794 01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:11,719 Speaker 1: five grand down and that number does move, so because 1795 01:34:11,720 --> 01:34:16,080 Speaker 1: it's a respected play and they're gonna respect that person's 1796 01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:18,880 Speaker 1: opinion and that person's money more so than maybe the 1797 01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:22,320 Speaker 1: potentially quite a bit more money from a public player. 1798 01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:25,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's down to six. That could be that 1799 01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:28,320 Speaker 1: could be indicative of a little bit of sharp play 1800 01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:30,719 Speaker 1: on you know, on the underdog there. But I understand 1801 01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:32,800 Speaker 1: your your predicament there. It is it is kind of 1802 01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:34,439 Speaker 1: hard to say that, you know, Panthers going all the 1803 01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:37,040 Speaker 1: way across the country. It's it's you know, you know, 1804 01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:41,679 Speaker 1: definitely a lengthy road trip. And the last I updated 1805 01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:44,679 Speaker 1: on this game was from Draft games on Friday, where 1806 01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:48,920 Speaker 1: the charges were getting of the bets and the dollars 1807 01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:51,200 Speaker 1: on the point spread. But what that says is the 1808 01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:53,640 Speaker 1: charges of the public team in that game. You know, 1809 01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:56,120 Speaker 1: when when the numbers are like that, So if there 1810 01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:58,879 Speaker 1: if there is a sharp side, which there isn't always 1811 01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:01,240 Speaker 1: you know, the sharp I'm not getting involved in every 1812 01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:04,360 Speaker 1: every game, but if there's a sharp side there, it 1813 01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:09,320 Speaker 1: is Carolina, all right. Last one quickly, Cincinnati Philly. I 1814 01:35:10,040 --> 01:35:11,920 Speaker 1: Philly was the only lost for me last week, But 1815 01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:13,679 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go back to him. I saw 1816 01:35:13,720 --> 01:35:17,360 Speaker 1: a summer line where this was Philadelphia minus ten. They're 1817 01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:19,559 Speaker 1: not only favored by four and a half at home 1818 01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:23,320 Speaker 1: against Cincinnati, the line's going down this week, Patrick, do 1819 01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:26,400 Speaker 1: you see it going back up this weekend with the 1820 01:35:26,439 --> 01:35:29,360 Speaker 1: big bets coming in on the Eagles? Well, at four 1821 01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:32,920 Speaker 1: four and a half, now, it's I think it's possible. 1822 01:35:33,240 --> 01:35:36,080 Speaker 1: Those four and a half, five, five and a half, 1823 01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:39,639 Speaker 1: they're kind of they're almost numbers where where the book 1824 01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:43,040 Speaker 1: can pretty easily move to those and then just kind 1825 01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:45,400 Speaker 1: of let the bettors decide where they want to shove it, 1826 01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:47,800 Speaker 1: if they want to bring it down to four or 1827 01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:50,360 Speaker 1: get it backed up, which is the key number obviously, 1828 01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:53,559 Speaker 1: or or bring it back closer to six, which is 1829 01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:55,599 Speaker 1: where it was early in the weekend. Then, as you said, 1830 01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:57,439 Speaker 1: if you've got on this over the summer, I mean goodness, 1831 01:35:57,560 --> 01:35:59,839 Speaker 1: you put yourself in a situation where you could potentially 1832 01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:02,400 Speaker 1: and win both sides of this, which is great. I 1833 01:36:02,439 --> 01:36:05,479 Speaker 1: did not, unfortunately, But I know I understand. I don't 1834 01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:08,519 Speaker 1: generally say games over the sumer either, but but some people, really, 1835 01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:11,760 Speaker 1: the smarter guys, really watch those opportunities and they bang 1836 01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:14,360 Speaker 1: them and they and they and they often make them work. 1837 01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:17,400 Speaker 1: But this, this is this one's hard to say. This 1838 01:36:17,439 --> 01:36:20,280 Speaker 1: is when I updated last night as well, and it 1839 01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:23,360 Speaker 1: is they At Draft Kings, for example, there actually are 1840 01:36:23,400 --> 01:36:25,280 Speaker 1: a little bit more tickets, a little bit more money 1841 01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:28,880 Speaker 1: on on the Eagles. But it's a two way action game, 1842 01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:31,840 Speaker 1: no question, and it's you know, it's almost certainly a 1843 01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:33,960 Speaker 1: little bit of respective play helping bringing that money down, 1844 01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:36,920 Speaker 1: whether it's a Draft Kings or whether it's elsewhere. And 1845 01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:40,280 Speaker 1: Draft Kings is kind of following the market with the move. 1846 01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:42,960 Speaker 1: Got it all right? Patrick Everson? You can follow him 1847 01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:46,840 Speaker 1: on Twitter at Covers Underscore Vegas. Patrick, great stuff, and 1848 01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:49,080 Speaker 1: we'll definitely have you back on the show man. I'd 1849 01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:51,200 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Good talking to you, guys. Have a great Saturday, 1850 01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:53,920 Speaker 1: Enjoy the weekend. Now. Is Patrick Everson? I I don't 1851 01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:56,160 Speaker 1: know about you, Kevin. I I just loved this gambling 1852 01:36:56,160 --> 01:37:00,680 Speaker 1: stuff and continuously learning more and more. Like Circus kind 1853 01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:02,479 Speaker 1: of come out of nowhere to become a big player 1854 01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:06,000 Speaker 1: now in the last couple of years, and I'm sweating 1855 01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:07,519 Speaker 1: these picks. All right, let's go to Isaac. We got 1856 01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:09,800 Speaker 1: some breaking news somewhere in sports. I have no idea 1857 01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:11,920 Speaker 1: what this is, Isaac, what do you got, Jason? The 1858 01:37:12,120 --> 01:37:16,320 Speaker 1: kickoff of the Syracuse, Georgia Tech Game is presently being 1859 01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:21,679 Speaker 1: delayed temporarily in order to confirm negative COVID nineteen test results. 1860 01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:25,880 Speaker 1: Brent Acts of the Syracuse Post Standard reports that three 1861 01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:31,559 Speaker 1: Syracuse players are being retested to confirm negative COVID results. 1862 01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:34,000 Speaker 1: So we'll keep you updated on further developments there at 1863 01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:37,799 Speaker 1: the Carrier Dome. Oh my goodness. Okay, So just to recap, 1864 01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:40,439 Speaker 1: They're about to kick off and then all of a 1865 01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:45,200 Speaker 1: sudden a test came up as what positive. Well, that's 1866 01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:49,040 Speaker 1: the thing. The report is the three players are being 1867 01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:54,280 Speaker 1: retested to confirm negative results. So that's all the information 1868 01:37:54,439 --> 01:37:59,120 Speaker 1: we know. Back here on Fox Sports Radio, it's me 1869 01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:04,839 Speaker 1: Jason mcin tire Spencer Rattler looking good. I like his hairstyle. 1870 01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:08,680 Speaker 1: He's got like the braids. And then so I was 1871 01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:17,120 Speaker 1: just looking up Spencer Rattler. He's looking sharp. Florida looks good. Um, 1872 01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:20,719 Speaker 1: And this is why I'm I'm reluctant to dive into 1873 01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:26,600 Speaker 1: gambling on college football. Hartman, Steve Hartman's up next, and 1874 01:38:26,640 --> 01:38:29,840 Speaker 1: Gavin we're just saying that, like Kansas State, you need 1875 01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:33,360 Speaker 1: X amount of players due to COVID too, I guess 1876 01:38:33,760 --> 01:38:36,479 Speaker 1: have your game happened and they like barely made the 1877 01:38:36,479 --> 01:38:38,960 Speaker 1: cut off, like I don't. I just can't spend all 1878 01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:41,800 Speaker 1: my time reading about who's testing positive for COVID at 1879 01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:45,760 Speaker 1: mid tier Big twelve teams. I can't. So do you 1880 01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:49,400 Speaker 1: know the story there, Sam about Kansas State? Not so much. 1881 01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:53,760 Speaker 1: Isn't the number like fifty three fifty three? I thought 1882 01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:55,479 Speaker 1: these teams have like eighty guys have to have a 1883 01:38:55,479 --> 01:38:58,160 Speaker 1: full too deep, but more you have to have, you know, 1884 01:38:58,439 --> 01:39:02,080 Speaker 1: guys on special teams too, and yeah, a regular regular 1885 01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:08,679 Speaker 1: college football teams Like yeah, that's wild. So if there's 1886 01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:10,800 Speaker 1: any updates, we got Bruce Felman coming up in a 1887 01:39:10,840 --> 01:39:13,559 Speaker 1: couple of minutes here. Um, he's got a new book 1888 01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:16,880 Speaker 1: out with ed Orgeron. Um. If there is an update 1889 01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:19,920 Speaker 1: Isaac on that Syracuse kickoff, let us know has it. 1890 01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:22,840 Speaker 1: Has it kicked off? By the way, it still has 1891 01:39:22,880 --> 01:39:26,320 Speaker 1: not kicked off, So we're following the situation. But good news. 1892 01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:30,479 Speaker 1: The official Syracuse Twitter account just tweeted, Hey, fans, do 1893 01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:33,240 Speaker 1: you know how many points Syracuse will score in today's game? 1894 01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:36,280 Speaker 1: Head over to their website to submit your answer for 1895 01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:38,680 Speaker 1: a chance to win some gear. So right now I 1896 01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:40,920 Speaker 1: would submit zero the way it's going, but they're trying 1897 01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:44,439 Speaker 1: to sell stuff because everybody's talking about Syracuse. Hey, you 1898 01:39:44,479 --> 01:39:47,040 Speaker 1: gotta strike while the iron is hot and the tests 1899 01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:50,000 Speaker 1: are being confirmed. It's just so unseemly, man. And that 1900 01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:55,360 Speaker 1: was another reason college just ticks me off. Players get nothing, 1901 01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:57,360 Speaker 1: but heyy oh, our games delay because of COVID for 1902 01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:00,280 Speaker 1: a test. Um, Hey, code to our website and buy 1903 01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:03,840 Speaker 1: stuff to line the pockets of the wrestling coach, Like, 1904 01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:08,240 Speaker 1: come on, get out of here. Um all right? They yeah, 1905 01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:10,000 Speaker 1: let's just go to Isaac. We got Bruce Thumbon coming 1906 01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:13,160 Speaker 1: up in a minute. Isaac with what's trending in a 1907 01:40:13,320 --> 01:40:18,000 Speaker 1: wacky start to college football? Wacky indeed, starting with number 1908 01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:21,360 Speaker 1: eight Auburn. They fell behind twenty three rank Kentucky seven 1909 01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:23,559 Speaker 1: or nothing. But Auburn has just scored a touchdown and 1910 01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:26,040 Speaker 1: a two point conversion for that matter, So they've got 1911 01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:28,720 Speaker 1: an eight to seven lead over Kentucky four and a 1912 01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:31,360 Speaker 1: half left to play in the opening quarter. Number three 1913 01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:35,000 Speaker 1: Oklahoma and Kansas State or scoreless five minutes in. Number 1914 01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:38,200 Speaker 1: five Florida and Ole miss Or scoreless four minutes in. 1915 01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:42,400 Speaker 1: Thirteenth rank Central Florida trailing at East Carolina seven and 1916 01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:44,639 Speaker 1: nothing three and a half minutes too the game. Number 1917 01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:49,120 Speaker 1: nineteen Louisiana and Georgia Southern are scoreless eight minutes in, 1918 01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:52,800 Speaker 1: and number twenty one Pittsburgh a six to nothing lead 1919 01:40:52,840 --> 01:40:56,840 Speaker 1: over twenty four rank Louisville midway through the first quarter. 1920 01:40:57,760 --> 01:41:01,439 Speaker 1: Players now returning to the field at the Carrier Dome. 1921 01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:04,479 Speaker 1: That is the latest report from Brent Acts of the 1922 01:41:04,520 --> 01:41:08,320 Speaker 1: Syracuse Post Standard, who reported that the kickoff of that 1923 01:41:08,400 --> 01:41:14,280 Speaker 1: game with Georgia Tech delayed temporarily to confirm negative COVID 1924 01:41:14,479 --> 01:41:18,400 Speaker 1: results from three Syracuse players. But again, the latest report 1925 01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:21,320 Speaker 1: is that players are presently returning to the field at 1926 01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:25,559 Speaker 1: the Carrier Dome prior to their presumed kickoff with Georgia Tech. 1927 01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:30,360 Speaker 1: Sixth ranked LSU star sophomore quarterback Derek Stingley will not 1928 01:41:30,439 --> 01:41:33,679 Speaker 1: play later today against Mississippi State. L s U says 1929 01:41:33,720 --> 01:41:37,160 Speaker 1: that Stingley became acutely ill last night and was evaluated 1930 01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:40,040 Speaker 1: overnight in the hospital. L s U saying his condition 1931 01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:44,000 Speaker 1: is not COVID related and he's expected to be discharged soon. 1932 01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:47,160 Speaker 1: Stingley was an All American last year as a freshman 1933 01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:52,040 Speaker 1: when he led the SEC with six interceptions.

Bruce Feldman joining us. Bruce, 1948 01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:43,719 Speaker 1: what's up man, Good morning, Jason. Good to be with you. Yeah, 1949 01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:46,479 Speaker 1: thanks for joining uh and congrats again on the book. 1950 01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:49,559 Speaker 1: I can't wait to dig into that. Joe Burrow, so 1951 01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:54,799 Speaker 1: many future NFL players there, and Orgeron is a fascinating character. 1952 01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:57,960 Speaker 1: And you guys have done a book before, right, Yeah. 1953 01:42:58,200 --> 01:43:00,599 Speaker 1: It's spent actually two years around him do a recruiting 1954 01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:03,120 Speaker 1: book called meat Market, and it did. The book did 1955 01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:05,040 Speaker 1: well because I think it was just fascinating behind the 1956 01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:08,320 Speaker 1: scenes of like never before seeing access to fly on 1957 01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:12,000 Speaker 1: the wall for how recruiting comes together. And people had 1958 01:43:12,040 --> 01:43:14,040 Speaker 1: always asked me for a lot, like pretty much the 1959 01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:16,439 Speaker 1: last fifteen years, are you ever going to do it? 1960 01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:19,759 Speaker 1: Do another book like that? And I didn't think I would. 1961 01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:23,040 Speaker 1: And then this book really is the closest I can 1962 01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:25,240 Speaker 1: come to a sequel to the the meat Market, because, as 1963 01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:28,360 Speaker 1: you said, his story, his personal story is pretty remarkable. 1964 01:43:28,479 --> 01:43:32,080 Speaker 1: You have a guy who is a recovering alcoholic, who 1965 01:43:33,040 --> 01:43:35,920 Speaker 1: was a arguably the best recruiter in college football. As 1966 01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:39,320 Speaker 1: an assistant, really helped keep Carroll build that dynasty, learned 1967 01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:43,919 Speaker 1: under Jimmy Johnson at Miami, had some off the field issues, 1968 01:43:44,439 --> 01:43:51,160 Speaker 1: Um as he as he dealt with really challenges and recovery. Um, 1969 01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:54,360 Speaker 1: then he gets the old Miss job and he recruits 1970 01:43:54,400 --> 01:43:59,479 Speaker 1: well but ends up ends up really really struggling. You know, 1971 01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:03,240 Speaker 1: it's doesn't win enough games, gets fired after three years. 1972 01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:08,080 Speaker 1: And I think what was fascinating was in a business 1973 01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:12,000 Speaker 1: of football coaches where everybody is super stubborn, he had 1974 01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,719 Speaker 1: to look inside and realize, hey, these are the mistakes 1975 01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:16,759 Speaker 1: I made. And I think when people read the book, 1976 01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:18,960 Speaker 1: they will see that the guy who ended up becoming 1977 01:44:18,960 --> 01:44:21,720 Speaker 1: the interim head coach after Lane Tiffin got fired, not 1978 01:44:21,800 --> 01:44:25,120 Speaker 1: only did Oren learn from his own mistakes from his 1979 01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:28,160 Speaker 1: time at Oldness, he really learned from Lane Kiffin's mistakes 1980 01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:32,240 Speaker 1: being around him at USC and at Tennessee. And so 1981 01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:34,639 Speaker 1: he kept evolving. And then we saw him really keep 1982 01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:38,000 Speaker 1: evolving after he took over at the interim at LSU 1983 01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:39,680 Speaker 1: and kind of learning from some of the things that 1984 01:44:39,720 --> 01:44:42,519 Speaker 1: didn't work but maybe had fallen flat from last miles. 1985 01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:45,519 Speaker 1: And so I mean the access I have for this 1986 01:44:45,560 --> 01:44:48,000 Speaker 1: book and all the behind the scenes stuff of how 1987 01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:50,960 Speaker 1: you know, they just had arguably the greatest season in 1988 01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:55,000 Speaker 1: college football history just ran through everybody. Joe Burrow had 1989 01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:58,880 Speaker 1: this remarkable season. And you know, so we have great 1990 01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:01,559 Speaker 1: stuff from Joe Burrow, Joe Burrows family and a lot 1991 01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:03,720 Speaker 1: of guys inside the program. And I think it'll be 1992 01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:07,719 Speaker 1: a fascinating study not just for for SEC football fans, 1993 01:45:07,720 --> 01:45:11,120 Speaker 1: but really the NFL football fans as well, because there 1994 01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:14,120 Speaker 1: will find out stuff about who Joe Burrow really is 1995 01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:16,559 Speaker 1: that they probably can't have never seen before. Yeah. I 1996 01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:19,479 Speaker 1: mean it just sounds like also we comply to anybody's life. 1997 01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:22,519 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, we all face adversity. How you bounce 1998 01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:25,120 Speaker 1: back and learning from your mistakes, that's huge in life. 1999 01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:28,040 Speaker 1: Speaking of mistakes, Lane Kiffin, we know he struggled a 2000 01:45:28,040 --> 01:45:31,960 Speaker 1: lot Mississippi with a beautiful play for a touchdown there, Um, 2001 01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:34,000 Speaker 1: Any thoughts on Lane Kiffin Old Miss I mean, the 2002 01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:37,919 Speaker 1: SEC starting today really gives a huge boost to college football. 2003 01:45:38,479 --> 01:45:40,120 Speaker 1: Last couple of weeks had kind of been you know, 2004 01:45:40,240 --> 01:45:43,840 Speaker 1: COVID watch basically, and now we have actual football. Any 2005 01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:47,519 Speaker 1: thoughts on the SEC or teams we should monitor here, Bruce? Yeah, 2006 01:45:47,560 --> 01:45:50,879 Speaker 1: I think right now, Lane has some some firepower on offense, 2007 01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:54,960 Speaker 1: some dynamic athletes at quarterback get fast running back. What 2008 01:45:55,080 --> 01:45:57,120 Speaker 1: he doesn't have as much to work with on defense, 2009 01:45:57,160 --> 01:45:59,240 Speaker 1: and if you're in the SEC, you don't have enough 2010 01:45:59,720 --> 01:46:03,479 Speaker 1: enough guys to really not just be difference makers, but 2011 01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:06,400 Speaker 1: guys who can really hold up, you're gonna probably lose 2012 01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:08,400 Speaker 1: in a bunch of shootouts. And I would say right 2013 01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:11,960 Speaker 1: now in the SEC West, I think Lane, if they 2014 01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:14,519 Speaker 1: can get to five hundred, because you're not talking about 2015 01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:18,120 Speaker 1: a normal year where you have four non conference pushy 2016 01:46:18,200 --> 01:46:20,200 Speaker 1: games or at least three and out of four are 2017 01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:23,160 Speaker 1: gonna be cupcakes. Right now, it's everybody else in the 2018 01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:25,920 Speaker 1: in the conference, So it's gonna be a scramble to 2019 01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:28,240 Speaker 1: get to five hundreds this year. But it will not 2020 01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:30,000 Speaker 1: be boring. I think that's the one thing you can 2021 01:46:30,040 --> 01:46:31,880 Speaker 1: count on with Lane Kiff, and it will never be boring. 2022 01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:35,760 Speaker 1: And we'll see if he can give a very very 2023 01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:39,479 Speaker 1: good Florida team, which I think will win the SEC East. 2024 01:46:40,320 --> 01:46:42,120 Speaker 1: We'll see if he can give them all they can handle. 2025 01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:45,040 Speaker 1: This afternoon, Yeah, interesting, We'll talking with Bruce Felman, Fox 2026 01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:48,640 Speaker 1: Sports college football reporter. So, Bruce, I think there's a 2027 01:46:48,640 --> 01:46:51,120 Speaker 1: lot of questions as to how this is gonna work 2028 01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:54,200 Speaker 1: when it comes down to the playoffs. Um, first of all, 2029 01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:56,800 Speaker 1: do you think it's fluid can the Pack twelve make 2030 01:46:56,840 --> 01:46:58,519 Speaker 1: a case that, hey, we should have a team in there? 2031 01:46:58,520 --> 01:47:01,120 Speaker 1: Can the Big ten as well? They're not, They're everybody's 2032 01:47:01,120 --> 01:47:05,040 Speaker 1: playing a different amount of games. It appears um any thoughts, 2033 01:47:05,040 --> 01:47:07,320 Speaker 1: And I know it's early on the college football playoff 2034 01:47:07,360 --> 01:47:10,799 Speaker 1: and how this is gonna work. Yeah, I think it's possible, 2035 01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:13,840 Speaker 1: especially you know, who knows how many games everybody's going 2036 01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:16,480 Speaker 1: to get to play. We've seen a ton of postponements 2037 01:47:16,479 --> 01:47:19,720 Speaker 1: and some cancelations already, so who's to say that there 2038 01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:22,080 Speaker 1: won't be more once the once the rest of the 2039 01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:26,560 Speaker 1: Power five gets gets scheduling games and gets set to play. 2040 01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:29,639 Speaker 1: I think if you're the Pack twelve, let's because they're 2041 01:47:29,640 --> 01:47:31,519 Speaker 1: the ones who are starting the latest on the weekend 2042 01:47:31,560 --> 01:47:36,800 Speaker 1: of November seven. What they're looking at is less games. 2043 01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:39,320 Speaker 1: So if somebody from the Pac twelve goes seven and oh, 2044 01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:41,439 Speaker 1: let's say they can play all their games, then whether 2045 01:47:41,479 --> 01:47:46,320 Speaker 1: it's USC or Oregon or Arizona State, they beat everybody, 2046 01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:48,320 Speaker 1: they have a shot. But I think you're looking at 2047 01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:51,599 Speaker 1: a seven and o team verse potentially. I don't think 2048 01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:54,360 Speaker 1: you're getting in if you're an undefeated Big twelve champ. 2049 01:47:54,600 --> 01:47:57,679 Speaker 1: I don't think you're getting over certainly an undefeated SEC 2050 01:47:57,960 --> 01:48:01,080 Speaker 1: champ um or even if Ohio State runs the table 2051 01:48:01,120 --> 01:48:03,439 Speaker 1: and they're sitting there with two more wins. I think 2052 01:48:03,439 --> 01:48:07,040 Speaker 1: the issue comes in with if it's a seven and 2053 01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:10,280 Speaker 1: three or if it's an eight and two SEC team, 2054 01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:13,000 Speaker 1: then what are we talking about? Like how does that work? 2055 01:48:13,800 --> 01:48:16,000 Speaker 1: Right now? If you're the Pack twelve, especially, you have 2056 01:48:16,080 --> 01:48:19,559 Speaker 1: no margin for error, and you're also really have nothing 2057 01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:24,880 Speaker 1: to elevate your conferences worth because a lot of people 2058 01:48:24,920 --> 01:48:27,799 Speaker 1: think the the SEC, the Pack twelve is the weakest 2059 01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:30,400 Speaker 1: of the five Power five leagues and they're not gonna 2060 01:48:30,400 --> 01:48:33,200 Speaker 1: have any nonconference games to go play. You know, for 2061 01:48:33,320 --> 01:48:35,760 Speaker 1: Oregon to beat Ohio State and to get people to go, well, 2062 01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:38,439 Speaker 1: the Pac twelve is better than it normally is. It's 2063 01:48:38,479 --> 01:48:40,920 Speaker 1: just gonna be you beat a team in your in 2064 01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:43,240 Speaker 1: your conference, and everyone's gonna think, well, that team is 2065 01:48:43,280 --> 01:48:45,679 Speaker 1: just not very good. Anyway, you beat Arizonas, you beat 2066 01:48:45,680 --> 01:48:48,799 Speaker 1: Washington State, you beat Colorado, even if you beat Utah, 2067 01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:50,640 Speaker 1: it's like, well, Utah lost a lot of guys that 2068 01:48:50,720 --> 01:48:54,320 Speaker 1: went to the NFL last So even Oregon as as 2069 01:48:54,439 --> 01:48:57,360 Speaker 1: as well as Mario christ baul Is recruited they now 2070 01:48:57,479 --> 01:49:00,040 Speaker 1: have to replace their entire offensive line. I know, you 2071 01:49:00,040 --> 01:49:02,439 Speaker 1: know how good Penas is. They have to replace a 2072 01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:05,400 Speaker 1: bunch of their defensive facts. They obviously have to replace 2073 01:49:05,439 --> 01:49:08,360 Speaker 1: the sixth pick in the draft, justin Justin Herbert, and 2074 01:49:08,360 --> 01:49:10,479 Speaker 1: they're gonna we'll see if Tyler Shuck is the guy, 2075 01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:13,800 Speaker 1: and I know they like him, but we'll see. And so, 2076 01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, you take teams like that as as good 2077 01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:19,400 Speaker 1: as Oregon is. I mean, I'm not sure people are 2078 01:49:19,400 --> 01:49:21,600 Speaker 1: going to realize just how good they are based on 2079 01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:24,040 Speaker 1: just a PAC twelve schedules if they run through it. 2080 01:49:24,040 --> 01:49:27,639 Speaker 1: It's it's so tough with the no nonconference games. Bruce, Alright, 2081 01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:30,479 Speaker 1: final question as it pertains to the to the draft. 2082 01:49:30,520 --> 01:49:33,559 Speaker 1: So we saw some players say they're gonna opt out 2083 01:49:33,640 --> 01:49:36,840 Speaker 1: and then they wanted to come back. Um, one of 2084 01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:38,720 Speaker 1: the guys, I know, the Penn State linebacker was out 2085 01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:40,280 Speaker 1: here in l A working out. Now, I don't know 2086 01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:43,759 Speaker 1: that was like two weeks ago. Um, are they letting 2087 01:49:43,800 --> 01:49:46,160 Speaker 1: everybody come back? Or what if the players tigned with 2088 01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:49,040 Speaker 1: an agent? Like, how is that working? Is all? That's 2089 01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:52,320 Speaker 1: just so fluid, Bruce, Well, there's a couple of pieces 2090 01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:54,719 Speaker 1: we reported this on our big name and kickoff show 2091 01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:58,120 Speaker 1: last week. So there's two big key pieces here. One 2092 01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:02,000 Speaker 1: is the academic component. You know, were the players enrolled 2093 01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:05,160 Speaker 1: in class? And if if there weren't in the academic 2094 01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:06,439 Speaker 1: side of it, then it's going to be a hard 2095 01:50:06,600 --> 01:50:08,320 Speaker 1: case to make that you could be re instated. But 2096 01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:11,120 Speaker 1: the second pieces, if you signed with an agent, did 2097 01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:13,200 Speaker 1: you accept benefits? Because a bunch of guys the Big 2098 01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:16,759 Speaker 1: Tent did sign with agents. Tom Mars is an attorney 2099 01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:19,080 Speaker 1: I spoke to. He's won more than his shaff cases 2100 01:50:19,120 --> 01:50:22,120 Speaker 1: against the m c A, and Tom Harris told me, 2101 01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:27,160 Speaker 1: it's very interesting language that because the Big Tens Commissioner 2102 01:50:27,240 --> 01:50:33,160 Speaker 1: Kevin Warren had specifically said last months that there was 2103 01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:35,760 Speaker 1: not going to be this decision would not be reversed, 2104 01:50:35,880 --> 01:50:38,720 Speaker 1: meaning that there would be no fall football, that he 2105 01:50:38,880 --> 01:50:42,799 Speaker 1: feels like the n c A has unique flexibility and saying, okay, 2106 01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:46,679 Speaker 1: this is a very rare situation and not worried about president, 2107 01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:51,240 Speaker 1: that they could allowed players if they want to come back, 2108 01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:54,880 Speaker 1: that they could they could be allowed back in. And 2109 01:50:54,920 --> 01:50:57,160 Speaker 1: he said without Kevin Warren's comments like that, I don't 2110 01:50:57,160 --> 01:51:00,120 Speaker 1: think they would have a prayer of being reinstated if 2111 01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:03,200 Speaker 1: they accepted benefits. But now I think that is a 2112 01:51:03,479 --> 01:51:06,559 Speaker 1: very distinct possibility. I don't know if you're gonna see 2113 01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:08,519 Speaker 1: Michael Parson. I don't even know if Michael Parson wants 2114 01:51:08,520 --> 01:51:10,439 Speaker 1: to come back. What I had heard, it didn't sound 2115 01:51:10,439 --> 01:51:12,880 Speaker 1: like canay seool. You know, there are some of these guys, 2116 01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:16,720 Speaker 1: I mean, their top ten picks that they're probably gonna go. Hey, 2117 01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:18,840 Speaker 1: I'll just keep preparing for the draft and that's that. 2118 01:51:19,120 --> 01:51:23,200 Speaker 1: There's other guys Whyatt Davis, Rashod Bateman from from Minnesota, 2119 01:51:23,280 --> 01:51:26,840 Speaker 1: really good receiver Shawn Wade, really good defensive back from 2120 01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:30,360 Speaker 1: Ohio State. Those guys are expected to come back and 2121 01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:33,840 Speaker 1: I think they will be clear to play. Wow, this, 2122 01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:36,040 Speaker 1: I mean, this college football season is going to be incredible. 2123 01:51:36,200 --> 01:51:38,920 Speaker 1: Bruce Felman, great stuff, and get his book.

Listen this 2130 01:51:59,439 --> 01:52:02,519 Speaker 1: Old Miss order game is bananas Florida through a pick. 2131 01:52:03,080 --> 01:52:04,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what the quarterback was. He 2132 01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:07,439 Speaker 1: and just lobbed it up, picked off and then almost 2133 01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:10,600 Speaker 1: trickeration to get inside the red zone. And then their quarterback. 2134 01:52:11,280 --> 01:52:14,200 Speaker 1: I don't know why plumb Lee's not in there a quarterback, 2135 01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:17,160 Speaker 1: the kid number ten. It was awesome last year. The 2136 01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:19,400 Speaker 1: the other quarterback just had to pass batted down and 2137 01:52:19,439 --> 01:52:24,000 Speaker 1: picked off by the Gators inside the red zone. Um. Yeah, 2138 01:52:24,080 --> 01:52:26,559 Speaker 1: now I'm starting to feel the college football juice is flowing. 2139 01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:28,880 Speaker 1: I would say it was right. SEC is back. I 2140 01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:32,480 Speaker 1: mean this game a lot of big plays in Oklahoma 2141 01:52:33,320 --> 01:52:36,920 Speaker 1: seven yards to ten over case stage. Yeah, they're gonna roll. Um. 2142 01:52:37,880 --> 01:52:40,559 Speaker 1: I just the cool thing about the SEC is these 2143 01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:44,040 Speaker 1: creative offensive guy they're not. It doesn't look anything like 2144 01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:46,439 Speaker 1: the NFL, right are you? If you guys are watching, 2145 01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:50,080 Speaker 1: like the formations and the plays and the speed, it's 2146 01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:53,679 Speaker 1: just it's it's not NFL football. This is like Ole 2147 01:52:53,760 --> 01:52:56,760 Speaker 1: Miss had their quarterback passing to their other quarterback twice 2148 01:52:56,760 --> 01:52:58,240 Speaker 1: in a row. I don't know if you saw that 2149 01:52:58,280 --> 01:53:00,439 Speaker 1: in an earlier drive. And I like the at number 2150 01:53:00,479 --> 01:53:02,960 Speaker 1: ten Plumbly and the reason I like him is because 2151 01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:06,120 Speaker 1: he cost me money last year against Alabama. I bet 2152 01:53:06,160 --> 01:53:08,439 Speaker 1: Alabama to cover against Old Miss because Old Miss, I mean, 2153 01:53:08,479 --> 01:53:12,120 Speaker 1: their defense is pathetic. And this kid, Plumbly was a freshman. 2154 01:53:12,120 --> 01:53:14,840 Speaker 1: He's a baseball player, and he was just doing all 2155 01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:18,160 Speaker 1: these crazy scrambles and just making things happen. I was 2156 01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:24,240 Speaker 1: impressed with him. Cost me money, but I was still impressed. Anyways, Gators, uh, 2157 01:53:24,280 --> 01:53:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, with the ball and now Auburn with their 2158 01:53:26,920 --> 01:53:30,439 Speaker 1: quarterback Bo Nicks.

They're looking good. 2187 01:55:01,560 --> 01:55:02,920 Speaker 1: I don't know how they're gonna do it, decide a 2188 01:55:02,960 --> 01:55:05,120 Speaker 1: Hysman this year. But if you're an Oklahoma quarterback, you're 2189 01:55:05,200 --> 01:55:08,320 Speaker 1: automatically in the mix.

He's No, he won't touch it on air. 2200 01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:46,120 Speaker 1: He will not. Why because you're producing college football Saturday. 2201 01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:48,760 Speaker 1: But I thought every I thought Clay Travis did that 2202 01:55:48,880 --> 01:55:51,800 Speaker 1: like five days a week. No, that's Clay Travis. I 2203 01:55:51,840 --> 01:55:54,320 Speaker 1: think Hartman likes Clay. I think they they're on the 2204 01:55:54,360 --> 01:55:58,960 Speaker 1: same wave length, though I don't. I don't. I'm just guessing. Um. So, yeah, 2205 01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:01,640 Speaker 1: it's a big day. Here we go. Oh, miss it's 2206 01:56:01,680 --> 01:56:03,240 Speaker 1: gotta be p I give me a break.

How is your mock draft looking for 2210 01:56:14,520 --> 01:56:17,880 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence number one overall? Yeah? I want to keep 2211 01:56:17,920 --> 01:56:21,000 Speaker 1: getting as a Jets fan? Is do you want Trevor Lawrence? 2212 01:56:21,280 --> 01:56:23,520 Speaker 1: And like Calhard asked me about it yesterday on air, 2213 01:56:23,560 --> 01:56:25,840 Speaker 1: and I was just like, listen, I don't think the 2214 01:56:25,920 --> 01:56:28,920 Speaker 1: Jets are going to be that bad. It kind of 2215 01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:33,920 Speaker 1: looked that bad so far, but it's early. Yeah, they're 2216 01:56:33,960 --> 01:56:38,600 Speaker 1: they're is a big spot for them. You think they'll cover? 2217 01:56:39,520 --> 01:56:43,240 Speaker 1: I think the line eleven and a half is and 2218 01:56:43,360 --> 01:56:46,040 Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not a believer in indies defense. Yeah, 2219 01:56:46,160 --> 01:56:48,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean they bottled up Kirk Cousins. The 2220 01:56:48,960 --> 01:56:52,160 Speaker 1: Jets just have no weapons. They're starting receivers this week 2221 01:56:52,200 --> 01:56:55,520 Speaker 1: are like Kevin Hogan and Braxton Barrios. I mean, what 2222 01:56:55,600 --> 01:56:57,320 Speaker 1: the hell do you expect anybody to do with that? 2223 01:56:58,760 --> 01:57:00,720 Speaker 1: And you can say, well, Kyle she and could do something, 2224 01:57:00,760 --> 01:57:05,120 Speaker 1: could he? Their offense has been all running early in 2225 01:57:05,160 --> 01:57:09,440 Speaker 1: the season. I mean, Jimmy g got no weapons and um, 2226 01:57:10,160 --> 01:57:14,000 Speaker 1: Levian Bell hasn't really worked out and Adam Gaze's Adam gains. 2227 01:57:15,520 --> 01:57:18,840 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Levian Bell can't stay healthy. Then when he 2228 01:57:18,960 --> 01:57:21,160 Speaker 1: is healthy, the offensive line stinks. Yeah. The Jets are 2229 01:57:21,200 --> 01:57:26,680 Speaker 1: just garbage right now. It's painful. You know. Sure a 2230 01:57:26,840 --> 01:57:31,800 Speaker 1: f C East pick listen, that was more fun than anything. 2231 01:57:32,200 --> 01:57:36,520 Speaker 1: Uh and optimism, but um, you know, Cam Newton and 2232 01:57:36,560 --> 01:57:39,160 Speaker 1: Patriots look good. I'm still not sold on the Buffalo Bills. 2233 01:57:40,280 --> 01:57:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to bet the Rams this weekend in 2234 01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:44,920 Speaker 1: the contest, but I will bet them personally because I 2235 01:57:45,120 --> 01:57:47,680 Speaker 1: think they'll win outright. I feel like whoever wins that 2236 01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:51,080 Speaker 1: game will be kind of proven now, like we can 2237 01:57:51,120 --> 01:57:54,160 Speaker 1: go Okay, the Rams are officially bad. Rams beat the 2238 01:57:54,240 --> 01:57:56,880 Speaker 1: Cowboys and then Carson Wentz in the evening, But the 2239 01:57:57,000 --> 01:58:00,040 Speaker 1: Eagles are terrible and well that was played Terry. I 2240 01:58:00,080 --> 01:58:03,480 Speaker 1: thought the Rams game plan was incredible, you know, they 2241 01:58:03,600 --> 01:58:06,560 Speaker 1: look terrific. And I saw that Jared goff is there's 2242 01:58:06,680 --> 01:58:12,400 Speaker 1: no quarterback uh using more play action than Jared by far. 2243 01:58:12,600 --> 01:58:16,320 Speaker 1: It's something. I mean, the Eagles just were not ready 2244 01:58:16,440 --> 01:58:19,160 Speaker 1: for any of that. It was crazy how wide open 2245 01:58:19,880 --> 01:58:23,160 Speaker 1: Robert Woods and Tyler Higbee and all these guys. I mean, 2246 01:58:23,200 --> 01:58:25,360 Speaker 1: it was just like guys, running around, wide open, all 2247 01:58:25,400 --> 01:58:28,760 Speaker 1: over the place. Now interesting tidbit. I talked about this 2248 01:58:28,840 --> 01:58:33,400 Speaker 1: on Straight Fire this week with um John Middlecoff. It's like, Okay, 2249 01:58:33,480 --> 01:58:37,080 Speaker 1: the Eagles just got roasted by McVeigh. Now they face 2250 01:58:37,120 --> 01:58:41,800 Speaker 1: a McVeigh disciple and Zach Taylor, the Bengals coach. Is 2251 01:58:41,880 --> 01:58:44,400 Speaker 1: that an advantage for the Eagles having just seated or 2252 01:58:44,480 --> 01:58:46,320 Speaker 1: is that an advantage for the Bengals? We know what 2253 01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:50,800 Speaker 1: to do. I don't know. I I think the Bengals 2254 01:58:50,840 --> 01:58:53,400 Speaker 1: are believing in Joe Burrow right now, so they might 2255 01:58:53,440 --> 01:58:55,920 Speaker 1: have a better kind of mentality heading into that game. 2256 01:58:55,960 --> 01:58:59,080 Speaker 1: The Eagles are like they're looking around, going what happened 2257 01:58:59,080 --> 01:59:02,000 Speaker 1: to us? Not? I remember though that entire game against 2258 01:59:02,040 --> 01:59:04,200 Speaker 1: the Browns, the Bengals were playing catch up. They were 2259 01:59:04,280 --> 01:59:09,120 Speaker 1: down two scores most of the game. But Joe Burrow 2260 01:59:09,200 --> 01:59:13,600 Speaker 1: has been in every game and both of the games 2261 01:59:13,640 --> 01:59:15,840 Speaker 1: it looks like a talent disparity, like if he had 2262 01:59:15,960 --> 01:59:18,880 Speaker 1: better talent around him, they'd be in those games. So 2263 01:59:19,160 --> 01:59:20,800 Speaker 1: that's a good point. I mean a j Green, by 2264 01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:23,320 Speaker 1: the way, has looked so washed. Just can't get to 2265 01:59:23,440 --> 01:59:25,920 Speaker 1: any any balls, he's all. I mean, he missed last 2266 01:59:25,920 --> 01:59:30,280 Speaker 1: season due to injury, but it just looks old. Um. Yeah, 2267 01:59:30,680 --> 01:59:34,600 Speaker 1: very strange setup for the Bengals there they're an offensive 2268 01:59:34,640 --> 01:59:36,640 Speaker 1: lineman or two away. Now, if the Bengals get like 2269 01:59:36,720 --> 01:59:39,720 Speaker 1: a top three pick, they're sitting so pretty because they 2270 01:59:39,760 --> 01:59:43,400 Speaker 1: can just trade down and somebody's gonna jump up and 2271 01:59:43,440 --> 01:59:47,840 Speaker 1: want Justin Fields. Um. I think Lawrence goes one. The 2272 01:59:47,920 --> 01:59:50,840 Speaker 1: kid Trey Lance at North Dakota State is what I 2273 01:59:51,320 --> 01:59:54,360 Speaker 1: what I like to see was that Herbert and Burrowed 2274 01:59:54,560 --> 01:59:57,760 Speaker 1: have looked fearless in their early actions so far. They 2275 01:59:57,840 --> 02:00:00,560 Speaker 1: don't look scared, like really well, I mean, we're waiting 2276 02:00:00,600 --> 02:00:03,080 Speaker 1: to see ta By the way, O miss this kid 2277 02:00:03,160 --> 02:00:06,680 Speaker 1: Drummond Now two touchdown catches? Do Ontario Drummond? Oh? Mrs 2278 02:00:06,720 --> 02:00:09,680 Speaker 1: Given Florida some fits. Listen, Lane Kiffin, It's good to 2279 02:00:09,720 --> 02:00:13,200 Speaker 1: have him back. The guy knows offense. I mean, I 2280 02:00:13,320 --> 02:00:15,880 Speaker 1: just don't think he's like a leader of men. Um 2281 02:00:16,440 --> 02:00:19,680 Speaker 1: has been proven at his multiple stops, but he knows offense. 2282 02:00:19,760 --> 02:00:23,680 Speaker 1: So great show in the books. Thanks Gavin.
