24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: haven't been like I've had it. But oh, guys, I

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: got asked yesterday by my parents, my wife like, are

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: you gonna gamble more now that's legal? And I was like, no,

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: no way, no, no, I'm not gonna do that. That's

28
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: a lie. So I am glad to be a part

29
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: of the show with you guys once again, and glad

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: that we have legal sports wagering with bet MGM now

31
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: in North Carolina. It has been glorious crack. It has

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: been so much fun. You know, I got down to

33
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: a college basketball scoring prop last night, that Oregon Colorado game.

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: I mean, there's so much you can do. And so

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: I'm glad to be back with you guys.

36
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 5: Isn't it great to have? You know, I'm in New

37
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 5: Jersey right now, but you know, living in Nevada, we

38
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 5: were kind of antiquated, but they just let we didn't

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 5: have any of these big boy apps. And when bet

40
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 5: MGM opened their nationwide app in Nevada, because we only

41
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 5: had the Nevada app. Now that we went nationwide, isn't

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 5: it amazing, Jeff to see the different ways to bet

43
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 5: games now, Like you know, bet MGM gives you lots

44
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 5: of different ways to bet all different sports, not just basketball,

45
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 5: but they go deep into each game, into props, into

46
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 5: unlike traditional sportsbooks where here's the first half, here's the game,

47
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 5: there's a total good luck. Like you know, they gave

48
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 5: you like one hundred ways to bet each game, especially

49
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 5: towards the ends, the big championships games here. So it

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 5: just it's it seemed for normal people home saying, wow,

51
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 5: we've had all these apps nationwide for a couple of

52
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 5: years now. But for guys like us and I say,

53
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 5: you know, we only got the new the new MGM

54
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 5: app here six months ago in Nevada, Jeff has it

55
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 5: for one week. So you go through that stuff and yeah,

56
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 5: that's something you have to maintain control though your parents

57
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 5: and your wife. Oh god, correct, Yeah, there's so many

58
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 5: it looked. It's so it looks like a brand new

59
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 5: video game that just came out, you know, like you

60
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 5: start getting active and everything. But that's good. Now you

61
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 5: have you have good er.

62
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 2: Like I said, like previously that I couldn't get down

63
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: on a college you know, a scoring prop for a

64
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: college basketball player, right, I took it was thin As

65
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: Simpson last night for Colorado over seventeen and a half.

66
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: He had it by you know, ten minutes left and

67
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: to go in the games. I was, I was good there,

68
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: but like you just couldn't do that, You couldn't off

69
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: shorts and offer things like that. So I'm I'm glad

70
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: I bet MGM put on put up some draft props today.

71
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: I saw, so we can, so we can hit those

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: because a couple of days ago they were not up there,

73
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: and I was worried about the ability to discuss those today.

74
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: So so much to get to you guys, and so much

75
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: Marshall madness he gave me today too.

76
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

77
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I'll start with NC State. I don't know if

78
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 4: you can bet on NC State in North Carolina. There

79
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: are a lot of states you.

80
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: Can you know, you can bet. Yeah, there's like, uh,

81
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: there's always the promos, you know, like bet you know, yeah,

82
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: you know, bet NC State North Carolina and you'll get

83
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: fifty percent. But there's all those those things. Yeah, you

84
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: can bet, and you can bet college sports time.

85
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 5: What Brian's saying is right though, like you can't like

86
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 5: in New Jersey where I'm at now, Yeah, you can't

87
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 5: bet the New Jersey teams.

88
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: Oh I had NC State plus nine yesterday, so or

89
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: plus ten plus ten and a half? Right, I'll take it,

90
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 2: I mean, and I'll tell you what, guys, this is again,

91
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: the the best part about the legal sports way during

92
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: and we've talked about a lot in our show, is

93
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: a shopping for lines. Like it's just it. I can

94
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: shop for lines now. I don't have to just choose

95
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: whatever the shore gives me. It's very nice. It's I

96
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: got a ten and a half for NCI state yesterday

97
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: and anti state story, Matt. How about that five wins

98
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: in a row? People are saying it's the biggest accomplishment

99
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: or were they one hundred to one to win the

100
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: more than that thousand and one? Were they to win

101
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: the one hundred to one? Right, there was one hundred

102
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: to one to win to win the a SEC. They're

103
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: the fourteen seed, I believe, twelve.

104
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: Ten ten seed.

105
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, five wins and five nights never been done before

106
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 4: in the ACC tournament. And DJ Burns this guy six nine,

107
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 4: two hundred and seventy five pounds, just a tank man.

108
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: It was pick your poison he was.

109
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 4: He was channeling his inner Nikola Jokic yesterday, where if

110
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 4: you just single covered the guy he'd eat you a

111
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: live and if you doubled him.

112
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: He's a great passer. He had seven assists.

113
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 4: They had no answer for DJ Burns and the feathery

114
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 4: light touch for a guy who's nearly three bills and

115
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 4: six ' nine, really light touch when he's shooting the ball.

116
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 4: He was fun to watch, man, and so to do that.

117
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 4: They're saying it's a miracle run. It never should have happened.

118
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: They were against Virginia all the Virginia was up three

119
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 4: with about six seconds to go, had a one in

120
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 4: one opportunity. Guy misses the front end, Virginia doesn't foul.

121
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 4: NC State throws up a prayer at the buzz where

122
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: it goes in.

123
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: They eventually win it overtime, banked it in. Yeah right, Craig.

124
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 3: Crazy that they ended up winning the whole tournament. But

125
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 3: what a run by the wolf Pack.

126
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: It is remarkable what they did. I'll tell you what

127
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 2: I make no bones about and not watching lots of

128
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: college basketball for the end of football season, and then

129
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: you know when I start watching, then a football season

130
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: more time. The end of games of these college games

131
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: is freaking madness.

132
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 5: Man.

133
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: It is the amount of poor play, the amount of

134
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: stoppages because of replay reviews and timeouts and and you know,

135
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: the inefficiencies of I think a lot of play, not

136
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 2: just coaching, but you know, the foul you're up three foul,

137
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 2: Do not let them take a three shot every single time?

138
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: It works. Then unfortunately, you look their college kids. The

139
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: Kent State game last night where ken State goes ahead

140
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: by one, they're up with six seconds left, accrod inbounds

141
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: the ball and a Kent State player fouls the acron

142
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: player thinking they're behind. You know, like you know, you

143
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: get these inefficials in these games, foul shots missed, and

144
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: you see some of these plays drawing up to end games,

145
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: You're like, what was this the first time when he

146
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: was drawing up a play before? It is? It is crazy.

147
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: And you mentioned NC State man. NC State earned their coach,

148
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: Kevin Keats, who was on the hot seats. Yeah, he

149
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: was was about to be fired because they made the

150
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: tournament an automatic two year contract extension, a four hundred

151
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: thousand dollars raise, one hundred thousand dollars bonus for ACS title,

152
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: and at least ten k for an NTAA appearance. All

153
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: in all, this adds two point five million dollars to

154
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: his contract and they have to keep them moving forward,

155
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: which a tough spot to be. And I'll tell you this.

156
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: Oregon State a couple of years back had that deep

157
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: elite eight run if you remember, right, and they were

158
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: not good that season. They sort of just hit hit,

159
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: hit it well to give a coach a seven year extension.

160
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: They have not been good since, and they really weren't

161
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: good before that. So that's I think the hard part

162
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: about some of this is you have these runs, you

163
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: want to celebrate them, crack, but is it Does it

164
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: really mean you're good the way that this is set up,

165
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: you get hauled a little bit. Uh, you can make

166
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: a run. I don't know if it means your team

167
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: is like good.

168
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 5: Now right now that you know it's uh, just to

169
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 5: let you guys, you guys ared be shocked here. This

170
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 5: is a New York, New Jersey kid. However, I lived

171
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 5: in Raleigh, North Carolina. I worked at Crabtree Valley Mall

172
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 5: as a as a young guy, and uh, you know,

173
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 5: it's amazing even working there and living there. They were

174
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 5: never really the talk there. It's it's the other, it's

175
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 5: it's the duke, it's the you know, n C of

176
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 5: course on the UNC. So I'm happy for them. Of

177
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 5: course I wasn't there, you know when when when they

178
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 5: had their their their great you know, you know they

179
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 5: when the miracle miracle, the miracle team there with Jim

180
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 5: Valvano and and I wasn't there then, but you know,

181
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 5: they were always like the little step child there. So

182
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 5: I was kind of happy about these five wins, five

183
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 5: nights in a row, and you know, like, like I

184
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 5: think we said it earlier, pretty sure, it's the first

185
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 5: college basketball team ever to even win five games and

186
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 5: five nights in a row. And but NC State's first,

187
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 5: first ACC it's actually the first championship since they did

188
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 5: it in eighty seven, like I said, But uh, you know,

189
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 5: it was just fun for the for the kids, for

190
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 5: the organization. I didn't even know that much about the

191
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 5: coach there that he was kind of How about that

192
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 5: you're saying on the hot seat going to getting two

193
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 5: and a half million? Is that extra dollars? I think

194
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 5: you said it's.

195
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 2: Part it's part of the new deal, like his extension dollars.

196
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: And again they contract rolled over now to twenty thirty,

197
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: so I mean, big, big win for him for him,

198
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: I just get it, I cautioned. Sometimes these yeah, you know,

199
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: these coaches that are on the hot seat to get

200
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: get a deep or late run in the tournament. It's

201
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: a great story, don't get me wrong. Sure, but it doesn't.

202
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 5: How do you like that? God, it's so hard to

203
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 5: do for the longest, so much pressure.

204
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: LONGB State fired their coach on Monday. They just won

205
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: their tournament conference. They're going to the tournament with a

206
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 2: coach who they let finish like he's been there seventeen years.

207
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: I said, hey, man, just finish it out.

208
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 5: Unbelievable.

209
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: We'll give you the respect of finishing it out. And Brian,

210
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 2: they won the tournament last night and LONGB States going

211
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: to the dance with a coach who is fired. I mean,

212
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 2: arey're gonna unfire him? They're gonna like reverse that back

213
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: in the system called a hr a man, we made

214
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: a mistake.

215
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 4: What a weird situation where Don mounts And he said

216
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 4: it after the game too, It was great. He was

217
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 4: being interviewed and he was like, you know how Jim

218
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 4: Harbaughs says, no, who's got it better better than us?

219
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 4: He's like, he should tell someone Dan Munson has it

220
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 4: better than him.

221
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: What he says. It was great.

222
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 4: It is a postgame, a little interview on the court.

223
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's crazy where it's like, hey, coach, you

224
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 4: know it's been real, it's been fun. Just hasn't been

225
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 4: real fun. At the end of the season, you're fired.

226
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 4: But you enjoy enjoy this this conference tournament. Here, they

227
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 4: win the whole thing. They're going to the Big Dance.

228
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 4: It's a great story, and you know the nostalgia of it.

229
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 4: If we geek out here with NC State with what

230
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 4: you're talking about, crack, you think about the thirty for

231
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 4: thirty doc about jim Valvano and the eighty three Cats

232
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 4: and all that they had to win the ACC Tournament

233
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: to have any shot to make it to the Big Dance,

234
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 4: and they did in dramatic fashion and then all the

235
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 4: way to a national championship. Legendary story. But you can't

236
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 4: help but remember those days, or you know, I wasn't

237
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 4: old enough to remember that time, but you watch the

238
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 4: doc and you don't have to be alive to a

239
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 4: appreciate something that happened that was historic at that time.

240
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 4: You can't watch NC State in this current ACC tournament

241
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 4: and not think about Jimmy v in the eighty three

242
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: wolf Pack. It's it's amazing, it's awesome.

243
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: Look, it's a great story. This is why we like

244
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: the college basketball tournaments. Mark Maddin's right. You don't get

245
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: this in college football, you know. Yeah, you have a

246
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 2: Washington or a TC to make sort of a Cinderella run.

247
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: You have a every now and then you have a

248
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: Cincinnati or Utah, that Boise State that wins a single

249
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: game right where it's very fun in that moment. You

250
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 2: don't get this in pro sports very often, where the

251
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: hockey is a little bit Sometimes in hockey the eight

252
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 2: seed Blues get hot right running through. But in college

253
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: basketball you get these stories. At North Carolina State hadn't

254
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: done it forever, wins five games, get to done. Oregon,

255
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 2: who was left for dead? They win the packed tournament.

256
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: Last night they're in the dance. Now, you had four

257
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: bid Steelers, yes, basically, yeah, I believe New Mexico was

258
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: one of them, right, New Mexico was a big Steeler.

259
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: You know, you've you have these these teams that you know,

260
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: you you don't expect to be there if they steal bids.

261
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: And and now we have an interesting bracket gonna come

262
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: out today where a lot of teams thought they're going

263
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: to be in, they're gonna be out.

264
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, it gets wild there at the end

265
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 4: Championship week.

266
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 3: It was the.

267
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 4: Wildest four bids Steelers and uh Saint John's think how

268
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 4: crazy that was.

269
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 3: You had Rick Pottino blast.

270
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 4: His team a couple of weeks ago, just calling everybody out.

271
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: They they went on a winning streak.

272
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 4: They went six and one since that time and only

273
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 4: lost to Yukon and they were in until all these bid.

274
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 4: Steelers they're the first team out. That's what Joey Bracketts has. Yeah,

275
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 4: and so it's crazy that you could have Rick Pattino

276
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 4: go from blasting his team.

277
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: They're terrible.

278
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 4: This is the most unenjoyable season I've ever had in

279
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 4: my lifetime of coaching basketball. Then they go on a

280
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 4: winning streak, they're in, and now they're kicked out because

281
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 4: some of these other teams stole bids. It's crazy, but

282
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 4: that's why we love the madness of the tournament. And

283
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,120

Speaker 7: Follow the money, real good money.

332
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 4: Yes, Brad Evans joins us, your TV voice on Live

333
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: on the line. Good morning, Brad. You know you look

334
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 4: at a couple of the top teams. Houston got blasted yesterday.

335
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 4: You had Tennessee couple of days ago, they get crushed

336
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 4: in the SEC tournament.

337
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: And yes, also have Purdue.

338
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 4: They lost in overtime to Wisconsin, close game before that

339
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 4: against Michigan State. We all know about them losing to

340
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 4: a sixteen seed last season. So of those three teams, Houston, Tennessee, Purdue,

341
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 4: who have you lost more faith in as we get

342
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 4: ready for the tournament?

343
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, honestly, it's probably going to be the Tennessee Volunteers.

344
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 8: And you know it's all going to be about the

345
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 8: draw ultimately and what we see tonight, do things unfold

346
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 8: on the selection Sunday, and what the path is going

347
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 8: to be to you know, the Glendale for all those

348
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 8: respective teams, but the Tennessee Volunteers. Although Dalton Connect it's

349
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 8: utterly ridiculous.

350
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 9: A guy can go.

351
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 8: Out there and get you at thirty thirty five points

352
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 8: in any given night. I know the perpheral options and

353
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 8: players on that team, but really got to step off.

354
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 8: Whether it's a kuy Ziggler or somebody else. They need

355
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 8: some consistency in that regard. But Tennessee is a team

356
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 8: that really pressures you. They coach the oodles of turnovers,

357
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 8: and when they are on offensively, they're one of the

358
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 8: best teams in the country. But like we've seen, whether

359
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 8: it's whipper Due, whether it's in with Houston, whether it's

360
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 8: with the volunteers, every single team in this country, maybe

361
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 8: you call the load exception, has some sort of vulnerability

362
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 8: and that's why it's going to be complete mayhem and

363
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 8: utter madness here starting next week.

364
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: So when you look at some of these teams that

365
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: sort of continually fail in the postseason, you mentioned Tennessee

366
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 2: and what bars done over the years Purdue Arizona. Is

367
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: there a way to look at and say, hey, maybe

368
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: maybe this year is different, or do you have to

369
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: go into handicapping these tournament games with an eye to like,

370
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: this team sort of fails a lot in these situations.

371
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, it's something obviously to keep in mind,

372
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 8: But no two years are really ever the same, and

373
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 8: you know, maybe a trend, you know, maybe some sort

374
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 8: of congoons that exists with some of those schools and

375
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 8: they're not so storied histories, and you know, there are

376
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 8: string of failures, but ultimately, you know, you look at

377
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 8: a team like Purdue, you could argue they have the

378
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 8: best resume in the country. They have well the double

379
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 8: figures in terms of quater and one victories. They play

380
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 8: the most taunting schedule. You could argue with any team

381
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 8: in the country their top five overall and strength is

382
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 8: schedule actually nationally And of course we he have Zach Eaty,

383
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 8: you know, the long drink of water, a guy with

384
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 8: a lot of wits, a lot of girth there in

385
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 8: the paint, who could really you know, pole the posts

386
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 8: and get it done off the glass and his reading

387
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 8: and recognitioning a recognition of opposing defense is able to

388
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 8: kick it out to Braden Smith, able to kick it

389
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 8: out to a Fletcher, Lawyer, Gillis or Jones. I think

390
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 8: creates a very difficult dynamic for teams to prepare for.

391
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 8: So again, you got to take it on a case

392
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 8: by case basis. You've got to bury the history long.

393
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 9: In the past.

394
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 8: It ain't going to be bear Lead Dickinson all over

395
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 8: again for say the Purdue boiler Makers. That really applies

396
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 8: to all these teams. So I would take it with

397
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 8: the entire mind of Salts that they, you know, do

398
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 8: what they did last year this season in this in

399
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 8: the tournament.

400
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 5: Hey, Brad, Bill Krachenberger, we follow each other on Twitter,

401
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 5: and let me tell you, you know, you have a really

402
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 5: good active Twitter page. Some great stuff you post every day,

403
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 5: the bracket, big boards, nap shot that you put up

404
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 5: as as your pin tweet. Really cool that. I have

405
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 5: a question for you though, for us as far as

406
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 5: what do you think on the bubble here? Do you

407
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 5: do you like any bubble teams to get in here?

408
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 5: Do you think Patino because he's Patino when he's probably

409
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 5: good for the tournament, do you think he gets in there?

410
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 5: Or and you know, in general, what do you think?

411
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 6: Yeah?

412
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 8: Man, the bubble is really strong, man. I was saying

413
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 8: this a week ago. This was the widest bubble and

414
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 8: nearly twenty years of Buridon bracketologies that I've ever seen.

415
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 9: There were a number of teams you could.

416
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 8: Argue there was like a dozen teams the lasts of

417
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 8: five six spots very much in the conversation, and usually

418
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 8: it's whittled down to like eighteen. So those first for

419
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 8: spots in Dayton this season certainly not the case my

420
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 8: current last four in.

421
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 9: We had a number of ben Steelers.

422
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 8: Yesterday I see INNC State Saint John's my very safest team,

423
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 8: but a member of the first four, Dana as one

424
00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:00,120
Speaker 8: of my last four ran followed by Mischief States Lord Atlantic, which.

425
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 9: Is got all kinds of wards, losing yesterday to Temple

426
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 9: Hall teams and.

427
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 8: You are now quatted four losses, not once but twice

428
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 8: this year, along with a quad three l and Oklahoma

429
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 8: as my very last team in and then the other

430
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 8: teams on the bubble but out of my progactive bracket

431
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 8: big board fields at the Gaming Juice dot Com, Providence,

432
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 8: Texas A and m CE, the Hall and Virginia, but

433
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 8: Chaos Raine Sabrine yesterday. I don't think any of these

434
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 8: teams that already outlined, the ones that were certainly in

435
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 8: as part of my last four are going to be

436
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 8: sands sweats today.

437
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 9: So layer up the old spis guys.

438
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 4: He's Brad Evans joining us here on countdown to tip off.

439
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 4: When the brackets are unveiled tonight, right, What are a

440
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 4: couple of the things in general that you will do immediately,

441
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 4: Brad to try to find value when you're betting on

442
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 4: the tournament early on.

443
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, immediately what I do is I front off

444
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 8: the bracket sheet. I then rifle through what I called

445
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 8: the gut bracket, which I will post it on my

446
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 8: website for free at the.

447
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 9: Gaming Juice dot com. And it's just my reaction. Guys,

448
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 9: I watched I.

449
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 8: Don't know, probably thousands of hours of college bask them

450
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 8: all this year. I have bet I have won some units,

451
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 8: and my god, have I lost a lot of units

452
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 8: to last about two weeks giving the up people that

453
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 8: has existed in the game. But we're still up nearly

454
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 8: forty units on this season. I'll take it. This is

455
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 8: what they call it March madness, you know, and they

456
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 8: really applied for a reason. But the one thing I

457
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 8: really look at with a lot of teams is, you know,

458
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 8: how did you perform in road neutral games?

459
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 9: You know you're going to be in a different, you know.

460
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 8: An unforeseen environment against an opponent you're not necessarily familiar with,

461
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 8: so you're gonna be able to step into that situation

462
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 8: and perform and execute. I'll look at a team like

463
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 8: Nevada No bat of the season in the Mountain West Conference. Guys,

464
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 8: I'm predicted right now with number eight seed on the

465
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 8: latest generation of bracket big Board. They were eight and

466
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 8: three straight up away for Marinos. So that's a team

467
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 8: that is dauntless. They play without fear. They have an

468
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 8: excellent backhoard as well, and Lucas and blackshear. So I'm

469
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 8: really curious what the wolf Pack draw is gonna be,

470
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 8: whether there are a seven or an eight seed. They

471
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 8: could definitely, you know, cause people to walk up the brackets.

472
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 8: They're the laying shock there against a number one seed

473
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 8: in ronover two, assuming they get past their first round opponent,

474
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 8: or a number two seed, which we have seen in

475
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 8: fourteen to last seventeen tournaments. The number two seed is

476
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 8: exited stage left by the end of.

477
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 9: The first weekend. So it's a subtle.

478
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 8: Teas like that that I'm looking at to try to,

479
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 8: you know, find value in the marketplace and make some

480
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 8: bets and hopefully cash it.

481
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 2: Everyone believes in the madness of this tournament, even though

482
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: most often the one and two seeds are in the

483
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: Final four and they're the ones winning the championships. Do

484
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: you get kind of sucked into the madness? Are you

485
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 2: just taking most often one and two season win the championship?

486
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean most often when you get deep into

487
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 8: the NCAA tournament chalk ring supreme. So yeah, generally speaking,

488
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 8: I'm probably gonna be signing with a one or a

489
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 8: two seed. It's going to make up most of mine

490
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 8: final four. But you can never go straight chalk guys.

491
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 8: You can't go all number one seeds to the final

492
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 8: four exercise. I think that's happened only one time in

493
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 8: the history of the NCAA tournaments. Even three number ones

494
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 8: making an extremely rare and there is going to be chaos, parody,

495
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 8: parody parody. It sounds cliche, but right now, at this

496
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 8: front and center in the game of college basketball, I

497
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 8: will say this, Burdue is going to be on one

498
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 8: side of the bracket.

499
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 9: Yukon's gonna be on the other side of the bracket.

500
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 8: I think they're on a collision course to meet in

501
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 8: Glendale for the whole Enchilada.

502
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 9: And really those teams are mirror images of one another.

503
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 8: They got a big, wide body in the middle of

504
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 8: Zach eatie for Briduda on the clinging for Yukon. They

505
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 8: have strong enough standing guard play. They beat you offensively,

506
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 8: they can really body up defensively as well.

507
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 9: Those to me.

508
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 8: Are the two best teams in the country. And this

509
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 8: is no slide on Houston, no slide on North Carolina

510
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 8: or Tennessee or even like an eyew with States who

511
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 8: you know went out and bludged the Cougars yesterday by

512
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 8: thirty points. They're all going to be very much in

513
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 8: the conversation. But I gotta see pass I got to

514
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 8: see what the road.

515
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 9: Has, what potholes could exist. But it's March madness. You

516
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 9: never know what's gonna happen.

517
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 8: It is so unpredictable, and that's what makes it so

518
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 8: glorious this time each year.

519
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 5: Boy, I love your energy, I'll tell you that much.

520
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 5: But I'm over at your site, the Gaming Juice dot Com,

521
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 5: and I'm looking at your a couple of your things.

522
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 5: Let me tell you something. Forty units coming from professional

523
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 5: Gambler for the last thirty years. That's this year. I

524
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 5: don't know any syndicate group or no sports betting guy

525
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 5: that's up forty units in college basketball that's been that

526
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 5: tough of a year and you actually gave back units

527
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 5: so to have the year you're having, that's congratulates. Congratulations

528
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 5: see you. I see you have Oklahoma and Seaton Hall

529
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 5: in over Virginia and Indiana State. Can you give us

530
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 5: a seriesons? Why?

531
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's very simple, and you know there was an

532
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 8: argument really for all these teams. But you look in

533
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 8: Virginia and the resume overalls is rather sickly. It was

534
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 8: kind of a middling acc this year, and they're been

535
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 8: made to gotten stolen by you know, a fellow compatriot

536
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 8: there in that league and didn't see State last night,

537
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 8: but you know, look at the net ranking, it's number

538
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 8: fifty four overall, and I understand that that is only

539
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 8: used really as a sorting tool. It's not a be

540
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 8: all end all by any stretching imagination. But such a

541
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 8: mediocre strength to schedule number eighty, number one, fifty seven

542
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 8: and non con strength to schedule just two in seven.

543
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 9: In quater one games this season.

544
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 8: No, no black eyes were blue, which is on the

545
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 8: resume there for the Cavs. But I don't know they've

546
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 8: really done enough to justify usurping State in Oklahoma, who

547
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 8: played at a far more rough and rugged conference in the

548
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 8: Big twelve, the best in college basketball by the Tower analytics.

549
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 8: And you look at Oklahoma's particular number forty six in

550
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 8: the net number twenty one, which is key in strength

551
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 8: to schedule, played the weaker non con but they have

552
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 8: four quarter one victories. Yeah, the twelve quarter one losses,

553
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 8: but also no blemishes or black eyes on that resume.

554
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 8: And he looked at Indiana State. It's just quality competition, guys.

555
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 8: I love Robbie Avila. I would love to see him,

556
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 8: you know, in the tournament, the goggles and the tasks

557
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 8: and the awkward game and all, but we're not going

558
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 8: to get the Sycamores dancing this season because there were

559
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 8: so many big Steelers and because you know, so many

560
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 8: teams just refused to play him outright at the high

561
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 8: major level, and non conference play has dragged down the

562
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 8: profile with their overalls strength to schedule, so they're all then,

563
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 8: I t there's a reason to watch that exercise, but

564
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 8: I think Oklahoma will have a thing called as likely

565
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 8: the last team in today.

566
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,600

579
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 7: That's damn right. Let's start.

580

582
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 10: conditional draft pick. NFL media reported this morning that Steelers

583
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,240

587
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 10: out Number one Houston sixty nine to forty one. Long

588
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 10: Beach State fired head coach Dan Munson on Monday after

589

613
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 4: from the Bears to the Steelers, and the Bears only

614
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 4: get a sixth round pick man that could go up

615
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 4: to a fourth round pick if Justin Fields plays fifty

616
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 4: one percent of the snaps in this upcoming season. But

617
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 4: it's gonna be kind of difficult. If Mike Tomlin is like, yeah, Russ,

618
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,280

Speaker 2: Where to begin, gentlemen? Where to begin here? Okay? The

622
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 2: NFL sort of tells you your value based off of

623
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,719
Speaker 2: how much money you get, based off of sometimes your

624
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: draft stass, based off of who's willing to trade for you,

625
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: and Bears fans and then some pundents who cover the game.

626
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: I think we're we're a little overboard. That are two

627
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: like pro player yay, every player is good. The NFL

628
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 2: tells you what they thought about Fields that they did

629
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 2: not think he's a starting quarterback in the National Football League.

630
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 2: The Bears also had no leverage. Everyone knew they're drafting

631
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: Killer Williams and Will Jeff Killer Williams, and so they

632
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 2: need to get rid of Justin Fields. The NFL is

633
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 2: telling you guys not good quarterback. And the thing that

634
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: I I'm okay being the mean guy. Hey, this guy's

635
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 2: not good. I don't I don't care. What's what a

636
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: pee we yell at me on social media? Whatever? Justseph

637
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 2: Fields is not good. I don't know what. I don't

638
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 2: know other than like he makes some exciting plays every

639
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 2: now and then. Tell me. Tell me at Jeff Schwartzen Twitter,

640
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,479
Speaker 2: give me actual plays, a game, plays part of a season,

641
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: like this is what we see. This is where Fields

642
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: is good. You're wrong, Schwartz, because I have his EPA

643
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: as negative. I have his QBR as bottom third, his

644
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: passer rating is bottom third. I have his I know,

645
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 2: quarterback wins not really a thing at times. It is

646
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: when you're ten and twenty eight as a starter, It's

647
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 2: like it's sort of a thing when you can't win

648
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: football games, you know, and we have very little evidence

649
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: and NFL history that if you are not a quality

650
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 2: starting player after three years at that position, you become

651
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 2: a quarterback that's good. Alex Smith is outlier, Okay, people say,

652
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 2: Ryan Tannel Ryantano was not bad his third season, then

653
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 2: Adam Case ruined him. We have three years now of

654
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 2: Fields not being very good at the job, which isn't

655
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 2: running the football. It's not how athletic you are, it's

656
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 2: can you make throws from the pocket. That's the ultimate

657
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: test at that position, and Brian he's not good at that.

658
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: And I don't know why people expect him to be

659
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: good at it. Now. The Bears made the right decision.

660
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: Kayleb Williams is that good? You trade Justin Fields for

661
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 2: Kayleb Wolbs, you start over and it's easy decision. And

662
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 2: I don't know why people have a hard time with

663
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 2: the league tells you how they feel about a player,

664
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: They must be wrong, I must be right.

665
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 5: What do you think these What do you think his

666
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 5: personal feeling is? Do you think when he gets in that, well,

667
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 5: obviously he knows he's getting traded over, he knows he's

668
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 5: going to probably be the backup. I mean, how can

669
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 5: he be content with that? How can he come you know,

670
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 5: in his brain just think, oh my god, I'm getting

671
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 5: a downgrade. I mean obviously, well Wilson's getting the first crack,

672
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 5: But I mean Wilson's probably going to be the quarterback

673
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 5: you know, of course, but he may be on a

674
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 5: short leash though we don't know if they start out

675
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 5: one and six or two or seven, so Fields will

676
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 5: probably take over. But how do you think his mental

677
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 5: state is going over there and saying, God, got it,

678
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 5: I went from a big star quarterback to a backup. Now. God,

679
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 5: that's got to be so deflating. Yeah.

680
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 4: Well, and it's also what Jeff said his market like,

681
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 4: that's the part too, where you had so many teams

682
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 4: that the Raiders are like, we'd rather have Gardner Minshew right,

683
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 4: So that's part of it, too, crack where coupled with

684
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 4: not only being the backup, the league loudly saying exactly

685
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 4: what Jeff said, we don't think you're any good.

686
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 3: That's what the league said to Justin Field. That makes

687
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 3: it even more.

688
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: Difficult that that that could be Like the the thing

689
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: that I think is sort of the worst part of

690
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: this is that like for Fields, like the league doesn't

691
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 2: doesn't want me, right, the leads think I'm a starter.

692
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 2: That to me is that we kind of talking about feelings.

693
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 2: Track That to me is the feeling that he's gonna

694
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: walk away with. However, oh, you know, players are competitors,

695
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: were competitive. I think he looks in the situation is

696
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 2: a better chance to play, though, because Kile Williams comes in,

697
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 2: he's not playing Russell Wilson plays poorly for a month,

698
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: you're the starter, you know. Like, So I think that

699
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 2: from that, from that perspective, that's the way that he

700
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 2: feels it can be, you know, like so I I

701
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 2: I I think he's looking forward to the opportunity of this.

702
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, huh does he make the kind of money? Guys?

703
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 5: Does he make? Is he making quarterback type of money?

704
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 5: Being that backup? Like? Is he making the more?

705
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 4: I don't know what to say, yeah, because be on

706
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 4: the fourth year of his contract, right, So, so he

707
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 4: got traded for life. Yeah, he's It's not a Russell

708
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 4: Wilson type situation in terms of the Steelers, right, the

709
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 4: Steelers are on the hook for one point two million dollars, right,

710
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 4: they're on the hook for more than that with Justin Fields,

711
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 4: and he's for sure the backup, which is just strange

712
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 4: right there. But we get back to hoops right around

738
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with Temple, Temple plus the seven points.

739
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 5: It's probably this game didn't move this last night for UAB.

740
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 5: They just played UAB in a game that was sent

741
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 5: kind of talked about under investigation. Actually a one hundred

742
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 5: to seventy two. So here in this championship game, I

743
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 5: think they're gonna keep it a little closer. Give me

744
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 5: the Temple, black socks, well black little most funny.

745
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 2: Sorry, the Temple thing is really fascinating. They are not

746
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 2: particularly good. They haven't been this season. They're nineteen, I

747
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 2: mean they're they're sixteen and nineteen. That includes the five

748
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: straight wins they have after the allegations of something propriety.

749
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: They've being fau Charlotte, SMU and UTSA twice. It's I

750
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: don't know, it's rather it's a fairly interesting storyline, all right,

751
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 2: give me. I'm gonna take I could do money lines, right,

752
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 2: because we're going to parlay in this. I could just

753
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 2: take any line. I kind of the Yale is gonna

754
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 2: win the first game day just outright against Brown. Brown

755
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 2: was six and seventeen and I won seventh straight. I mean, like,

756
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 2: not particularly good. The first time a fource he has

757
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: ever advanced in the IVY League championship game to I

758
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 2: League champion him Yale is just I think Yale is

759
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 2: gonna beat him straight out. So I'll take the minus

760
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 2: four hundred on this to put in the parlay.

761
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, you go money line on that.

762
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 2: Straight money line.

763
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 7: Yeah.

764
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 4: Listen, I uh, I root against teams with the losing

765
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 4: records in their conference tournaments.

766
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 5: You know.

767
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 4: So I was watching Brown and rooting against them, and

768
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 4: they had they had a twenty two point lead against

769
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 4: Princeton and you blinked and it was down to three.

770
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 3: They're not very good.

771
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 2: They also they also made I had the first half

772
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 2: under yesterday. The game was eleven am tip off, and

773
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 2: they shot sex seventy percent in the first half of

774
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: that game. And they were the worst report team in

775
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 2: the country.

776
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 3: Yeah no, I don't think they get it done today.

777
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 3: So I hear you on that.

778
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 4: You know, I'm gonna look at a total here. Everybody's

779
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 4: on this over on the Florida Auburn game. You'll see

780
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 4: this sometimes where you look at yukon as a good example,

781
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 4: Yukon had this up and down game against Saint John's

782
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 4: ninety five to ninety and then yesterday against Marquette it

783
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 4: was not even close to being the same type of

784
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 4: scoring game.

785
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 3: It's a little.

786
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 4: Dangerous here, but it's like everybody's on the over in

787
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 4: this game between Florida and Auburn. Florida is a really

788
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,919
Speaker 4: good offensive team, but Auburn plays legit defense. I don't

789
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 4: see it going over one fifty six and a half.

790
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take the under in that one.

791
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 5: It's up to one fifty eight and a half at

792
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 5: ft MGM. So there you go.

793
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's climbed even more.

794
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, so you get a nice and nice couple points.

795
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 2: Actually, how can actually do it? Wow, I'm doing I'm

796
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 2: doing it. Guys, We're doing it. I'm doing it.

797
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 3: You've thrown it in there.

798
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, what we can do it?

799
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: Now?

800
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 3: What's the payout.

801
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 2: On a gym? Three three seven?

802
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,959
Speaker 3: Okay? Crack Temple blessed.

803
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 2: The side for parlay because I put that Yale money

804
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 2: line there. Yeah, that brought down a little bit there. Yeah,

805
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 2: that's I think Yale is gonna win. I mean, it's

806
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 2: it's pretty simple. They might come. I might, I might cover.

807
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 2: I might put some money in there for them to

808
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 2: cover that game up to eight and a half.

809
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 3: Now, though I know the line keeps going up.

810
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 2: Keeps going up and up. I looked at this morning

811
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 2: at seven and a half. I was like, I don't know,

812
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: but Brown, I don't. I think we spent so much

813
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 2: time on Brown and Yale. But Yells are significantly better

814
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: than brown.

815
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,439
Speaker 5: Man mistakes people make though, guys, you talked about there,

816
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 5: like the game open six and a half. You looked

817
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 5: at it seven and a half. You can't lay eight

818
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 5: and a half. Now, I don't know both of you

819
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 5: guys know what.

820
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 3: To do, but it's it's moved too much. It's similar

821
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 3: with Florida.

822
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 4: That Florida Auburn total was at one fifty five and

823
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 4: a half. Yep, to open it. It's gone up three points.

824
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 4: I'm sure you always preach this crack. You can't get

825
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 4: the worst of the line, you know, and it's at

826
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 4: the worst spot right now. All right, coming up next,

827
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 4: major trust issues. Who have you lost the most faith in? Oh,

828
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 4: we're talking trust issues with some of the best teams

829
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 4: in college. Shoops right around the corner The Fox Sports

835
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 4: of the big boys, they did not farewell in their

836
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 4: conference tournaments. Here, how about Houston yesterday, the number one

837
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 4: team in the country gets destroyed by Iowa State sixty

838
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 4: nine to forty one. You also had Tennessee a little

839
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 4: bit earlier in the SEC Championship. In the SEC tournament,

840
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 4: they weren't sniffing the championship, but they lost to Mississippi

841
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 4: State seventy three to fifty six. Tennessee only scored nineteen

842
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 4: points in the first half.

843
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 3: And then you have Purdue. They didn't lose as badly.

844
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 4: They lost in overtime against Wisconsin yesterday, but a close

845
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 4: game against Michigan State before that. We all know about

846
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 4: them losing to a sixteen seed last year. So if

847
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 4: those three teams, who have you lost more faith in

848
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 4: with the tournament coming up? Is it Houston, is it

849
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 4: Tennessee or is it Purdue? Where would you go with that?

850
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I go back to the idea of Tennessee

851
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 2: and Rick Barnes. I mean, this is this is his

852
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 2: m O, right, guys, So that this team struggle in

853
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 2: the postseason. So I don't know if we had much

854
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 2: faith in them, maybe perdue, I mean I just don't.

855
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 2: I don't buy them as a championship team. I mean

856
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 2: it just I just I don't. So I don't know

857
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: if that changes very much. Thought. I thought Wisconsin played

858
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 2: about as well as they could. The defense on the

859
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 2: final playing regulation was odd. What Purdue did just kind

860
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 2: of gave him a free lay up. I mean I

861
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 2: think just sort of like, I don't know, do you

862
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 2: have someone to put a him in his face? The

863
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 2: Houston game just felt like they ran into a buzz saw. Brian,

864
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 2: It didn't change it very much for me with Houston.

865
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 2: I don't crack if much changed for you in any

866
00:42:59,120 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 2: of those games.

867
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think they they these teams, I mean,

868
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 5: how can you How can Houston lose like that because

869
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 5: they're not taking it serious enough. I mean, you know,

870
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 5: it's some of these teams a little bit bit more

871
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 5: reserved and don't put a lot of you know, concentration

872
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,959
Speaker 5: and effort into these games, which you think they would

873
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 5: because uh, we're betting on them, of course. I mean,

874
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 5: but you know, going to the original question, I think

875
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 5: Tennessee for sure. They lost their last two games, including

876
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 5: the first one the first game of the SEC tournament

877
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 5: and and home at home to Kentucky, So uh, you

878
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 5: know you said it there. Jeff Rick Barnes has always

879
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 5: struggled in the NCAA tournament no matter what team he's

880
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 5: coaching for. He's going to of course be a future

881
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,240
Speaker 5: for Hall of Fame coach, but just seems to struggle

882
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 5: in March for some reason. So and this team also

883
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 5: depends way too much on one player, a Dalton Neck.

884
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 5: He's he's arguably, you know, he has been the best

885
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 5: player all year, but when he struggles or he has

886
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 5: an off game, Tennessee just seems to fall up heart

887
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 5: the rest of the team and they really struggle. So

888
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 5: I'm gonna agree with Tennessee out of that.

889
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, it's strange with Rick Barnes keeps happening. He's

890
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 4: made one Final four that goes all the way back

891
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 4: to three with Texas when he had TJ. Ford and

892
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,919
Speaker 4: he hasn't been past the Sweet sixteen since eight. Think

893
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 4: about that, hadn't been to the Elite eight or whatever

894
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 4: beyond since oh eight. So it just keeps happening again

895
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 4: and again and again. And I like Tennessee as a team.

896
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 4: They guard, they have real defense, but as great as

897
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 4: Connect has been this season, when he is not on

898
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 4: his a game, they don't typically have a secondary punch

899
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 4: to be able to go deep into the tournament. But man,

900
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 4: I go back to Houston. I love the way Houston defends.

901
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 4: They are sensational, but their offensive efficiency numbers are actually

902
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 4: pretty decent, but you'll see them for stretches. They just

903
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 4: can't buy a bucket to only score forty one points

904
00:44:58,120 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 4: in a game.

905
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 3: I know Iowa State can get after you.

906
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 4: They force a lot of turnovers, they're feisty defensively, but

907
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 4: forty one points in a game. We're looking toward forty

908
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 4: one points in a half more times than that.

909
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 3: Not a game. So that was alarming for Houston.

910
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 4: They're just their offense worries me to the point where

911
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 4: I just don't buy them to go all the way

912
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 4: or to have a real deep run. I just I

913
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 4: don't trust them enough to just win by their defense alone.

914
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 2: Uh, probably not. I mean, look, I think if we

915
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 2: look at some of the most complete teams top to bottom,

916
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 2: it starts with yukonn Right, I mean that's that's I

917
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 2: don't I think I would major on them to be

918
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 2: one right now to win the championship. I don't know

919
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 2: that trust any well. I like North Carolina lost last night, notwithstanding,

920
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 2: I think there's still a team i'd wager on. You

921
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 2: mentioned Houston, just I think to your point, like sometimes

922
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 2: the offense bogs down a little bit too much. They

923
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,399
Speaker 2: have to sort of play one style of game to win,

924
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 2: and that worries me. The post's and pretty I just don't.

925
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 2: I just don't trust him, man, Like I just I don't.

926
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going to change for me to

927
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: believe that they're gonna be able to do it. Every

928
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 2: year we say the same thing, right, Oh, there's a

929
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 2: team coming from out of nowhere, and there never is,

930
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 2: so I don't even know who that team, right, could

931
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: be that sort you know, comes out of nowhere and

932
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 2: gets it done.

933
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I agree. I think you know Perdue

934
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 5: has the most motivation after their early exit last season. Houston,

935
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 5: like we said here, I can't have to throw out

936
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 5: the game. I have to throw out this this, this

937
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 5: game yesterday. I think Houston is the most sound team overall,

938
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 5: with the best coach out there in this group, Samson.

939
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 5: But you know, guys, I'll tell you. And I'm looking

940
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 5: over it at h at the bet MGM app now

941
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 5: it's amazing. Sometimes things will cause odds to go up,

942
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 5: but not putting in like I said that, what was

943
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,439
Speaker 5: their motivation? Do they really want to play in the

944
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 5: championship games? So I'm looking at the Connecticut being for

945
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 5: plus four twenty five, Houston plus five fifty per du

946
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 5: plus seven to one. You go beyond that, And like

947
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 5: you said, Jeff, I don't know, Like North Carolina thirteen

948
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 5: and one just not enough. Arizona, They're not enough for

949
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 5: me to I don't even like playing future markets a lot.

950
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:25,879
Speaker 5: But I just I don't know. I just never these cinderellas.

951
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 5: I always say they never win it all.

952
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 2: But no, they're fun in the first couple of days, and.

953
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 5: There's they're fun the first couple.

954
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 2: There's for sure going to be some upsets early in

955
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 2: this especially I think in this year right, there's gonna

956
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 2: be upsets and it's going to be wild and crazy

957
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,919
Speaker 2: early on, but when you get down to the final four,

958
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 2: get to lead a typically the best teams are there. Look,

959
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 2: and this is what take that not a lot of

960
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 2: people liked. I I kind of want to watch the

961
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 2: best teams, the best players played the end of the

962
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 2: tournament anyways, And I'm not one of these people. It's like,

963
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 2: you know what, I love the Cinderella in the final four, nah, right,

964
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 2: and they typically can get their butts kicked like immediately

965
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 2: in you know, wait with that week off to prepare

966
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 2: for the final four. I kind of would just want

967
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 2: to see the best teams play. Pretty simple.

968
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 4: I know some of my friends, man, we always get

969
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 4: together back at home, but a huge group of us

970
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 4: and we've watched the tournament forever, and they always make

971
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 4: fun of me because oftentimes I root against these big

972
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 4: upsets for exactly what you said, Jeff. It's almost every

973
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 4: time it's a better matchup if the top if the

974
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 4: higher seeded team wins.

975
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 3: I'm not telling you I.

976
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 4: Never root for underdogs or I never root for Cinderella.

977
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 4: There are times I do, but other times I'm just

978
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 4: like I'd rather have this one seed moving forward, instead

979
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 4: of this nine seed who's gonna get bounced the next round.

980
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 3: You know, it's just not as exciting.

981
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 2: Because you want to watch the NBA players. You want

982
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 2: to watch the guys that you're going to see play

983
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 2: in the next level. Those those are most often on

984
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,879
Speaker 2: on these on the better teams on the higher seats.

985
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I think there are times too when

986
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 2: you know, you look at sort of what wins in

987
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 2: the postseason, and there are teams that I think have

988
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 2: lower seeds that have some of the things that win.

989
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 2: You know, guard play, huge, huge germiny factor in the postseason,

990
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 2: and you know some and we've seen over the last

991
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 2: somebody's like experience, right experience and guard play. And there

992
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 2: are teams that that fit that mold that are lower seeds,

993
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 2: if for whatever reasons, haven't done it as well during

994
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 2: this year. And so I think there's opportunities for some

995
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 2: of those teams to win some of the early games.

996
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 2: I'll give example, I think Colorado has lost Oregon last night.

997
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 2: They have multiple NBA players on their team and they're

998
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 2: led by their point guard. Like they're a team that

999
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 2: can win some tournament games as a ten seed. Most

1000
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,399
Speaker 2: likely that we would be surprised, but they're not winning

1001
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 2: the championship. They're fun in the first couple of games,

1002
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 2: but they're not a team that you that you wager

1003
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 2: on a future to win a championship on.

1004
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 3: Right, Right, that's what you're talk about.

1005
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 5: It You guys had a room for like Sister Jean though.

1006
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, you're right there.

1007
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 5: I was always I was always rooting for I don't know,

1008
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 5: she's one hundred and four years old, you know, and

1009
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 5: and God bless her that she's she's still going. And

1010
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,439
Speaker 5: I always rooted for them, like Loyola in the court,

1011
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 5: just for Sister Jean. For nothing, no one on the team,

1012
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 5: none of the players are. It's just for Sister Jean.

1013
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 5: So there are exceptions exactly. But you know you're there

1014
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 5: rooting against Sister Gene and like, you know, you're betting

1015
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 5: again the other way. I just would think it's like sacrilegious.

1016
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:26,879
Speaker 5: I try to stay away from them.

1017
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, listen, there are times where hey, maybe

1018
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 4: there's a two seed that I don't really believe in.

1019
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 4: They don't have a whole lot of you know, they

1020
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 4: don't have a whole lot of firepower. I don't think

1021
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 4: they're going to have a deep run and if a

1022
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 4: fifteen takes them down, sometimes those are legendary moments.

1023
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, there are times.

1024
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so many times I think I agree with

1025
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 2: you that they're legenary moments, But over the tournament, I

1026
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 2: kind of just don't want to see it like a totality,

1027
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 2: know what I mean?

1028
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1029
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, man, I get it more times than not.

1030
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 3: That's how I get down.

1031
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 4: They all look at me like, no's rooting for whatever

1032
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 4: the three seed to win instead of the fourteen.

1033
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 3: They're all in.

1034
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 4: It could be Northeast Central State Tech and they're like all.

1035
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 3: In And normally I'm not. Normally That's not how I

1036
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:16,640

Speaker 3: And how about Auburn.

1062
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 4: We're just talking about championship odds, Like looking at the

1063
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 4: Big Dance and they're twenty to one.

1064
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 3: That's the seventh best.

1065
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you look at all these teams, they're tied

1066
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 4: with Iowa State for the seventh best odds to win

1067
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 4: the entire tournament.

1068
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 3: Aubert, It's one of those teams.

1069
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 8: Man.

1070
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 4: I like their defense typically pretty good. Every now and

1071
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 4: then they'll have an exception where it's just like, hey,

1072
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 4: they forgot to guard today.

1073
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 3: But for the most part, pretty good defense. But man,

1074
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 3: it's tough.

1075
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 4: When you start like scrolling down, scrolling down for a

1076
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 4: team that could go far, maybe make a Final four run,

1077
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 4: but win the whole freaking thing, it gets slim pickens

1078
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 4: really quickly.

1079
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 3: I feel like the.

1080
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 2: Auburn is so interesting because they're ken Palm there. They're

1081
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 2: fourth and Ken Palm a couple of weeks ago, a

1082
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 2: good buddy of ars crack Sammy p his power rankings

1083
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 2: had him a fifth in the country. They're only two

1084
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 2: and seven in Quad one this year, and it was

1085
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 2: it was one in seven until they'd be Missippi State recently.

1086
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 2: Like they just they're not winning these Quad one games.

1087
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 2: I mean, you look at a team that's, okay, let's

1088
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 2: try to win a championship. You gotta beat the Quad

1089
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 2: one teams to win a championship in the tournament, you know,

1090
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 2: and they haven't been doing that. They lost to Baylor

1091
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 2: by six, app State by five, Alabama by four, State

1092
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 2: by six. They beat Alabama again on the second meeting

1093
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 2: got brought up, but Florida lost to Kentucky, lost to

1094
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 2: Tennessee and they just beat mistakemed like, they've had the

1095
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 2: opportunity to win these games, these quater one games that

1096
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 2: haven't done it, And so I think a lot of

1097
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 2: us look at them and say, well, even though they're

1098
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 2: they're highly rated, they're high in ken Palm, they're high

1099
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 2: in and other metrics, but all their losses against the

1100
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 2: best teams they're playing, and so how much do we

1101
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 2: take that in consideration when in the end, to win

1102
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 2: a championship, Crack, you have to go through most often

1103
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 2: the best teams of the country to get there.

1104
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, before I get into this SEC championship, let's ask you, said,

1105
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 5: Sammy P. So, how is the bet against syndicate doing?

1106
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 5: I haven't really checked.

1107
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the better against syndicate is at forty six

1108
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,800
Speaker 2: percent for the year. So what I typically do for

1109
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 2: the better bue Synikita also on Temple today, Sorry Crack,

1110
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 2: but it is like a bad day, Like when there's

1111
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 2: a good day, the next day is to really pretty

1112
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 2: bad kind of go union and a half on those days.

1113
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 2: So like I kind of that that's how you make

1114
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 2: your money on this. You kind of have to do

1115
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 2: every day. You sort of see like where where you

1116
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 2: where you, where you fall. The best part about the

1117
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:13,760
Speaker 2: betting thing I can send you the pictures is oh yeah,

1118
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 2: one of the competitor apps. The players are put in

1119
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 2: in that app and the double play like the like

1120
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 2: the double under in one game the person will hit

1121
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 2: it twice two different numbers. It makes no sense. So yeah,

1122
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 2: in Temple today crack. I'm sorry, all right, but but

1123
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 2: at seven you have seven and a half.

1124
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, hopefully hopefully it wasn't a five helmet play for

1125
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 5: that for that syndicate. Uh, you know, we we hate

1126
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 5: to go against the five helmet picks. But you know, guys,

1127
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 5: what we're talking about is uh, for everyone listening across

1128
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 5: the country here, we it's just just good to find

1129
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 5: a losing handicapper and been against them that it is

1130
00:55:56,719 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 5: a winning handicapper. We have found a loop using handicapper

1131
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 5: who has ruined many lives, but however makes us money.

1132
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 5: So that's that's just as good there. Sammy p also

1133
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:13,320
Speaker 5: had another one with like the public bartender the bartender.

1134
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bartender's football though, right right.

1135
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:19,280
Speaker 5: So I'm saying there is uh, it's really a great strategy.

1136
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 5: You don't have to know anything. Well, you have to

1137
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 5: is follow against all right, So Golden going to this

1138
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 5: SEC Championship game. Both teams already have a tournament bid

1139
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 5: locked up, one looking to be named the SEC champion

1140
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 5: and even improve their seed. Listen when Auburn is on,

1141
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 5: they are one of the best teams in the country.

1142
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 5: A win today would probably put them out like a

1143
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 5: number two seed for the Big Dance, so they should

1144
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,879
Speaker 5: really be motivated. But you know, this game today, it's

1145
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 5: five and a half. It did move up, the total

1146
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 5: did move up a couple of points to the over.

1147
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 5: But as far as the side that I just have

1148
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 5: to stay away. I think the Lions like correct. These

1149
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 5: conference tournament games are usually so tight. I kind of

1150
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 5: stay away from some of the finals and the and

1151
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 5: the big names there we go.

1152
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,959
Speaker 4: It's weird with Florida in particular, because when they show

1153
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 4: you their good stuff, it's like, wow, pretty impressive. They

1154
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 4: in this tournament against Bama a little bit earlier, they

1155
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 4: went on a twenty one to one run.

1156
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 3: Right before halftime.

1157
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 4: They scored one hundred and two points like we know

1158
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 4: Alabama doesn't play a lick of defense, we get it.

1159
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 4: But also the last game yesterday they're down big to Texas.

1160
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 3: A and M, they come storming back.

1161
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 4: So Florida offensively is really really good, but defensively they

1162
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 4: leave a lot to be desired. It's just weird a

1163
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,439
Speaker 4: team like Florida where you can see what they've done

1164
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 4: the last couple of games and the scoring binges that

1165
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 4: they've gone on, and then you look and you're like,

1166
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 4: how is this team unranked? But that's where because they

1167
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 4: have their warts, they have their bad side. So I

1168
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 4: think when you're looking at not just the conference tournaments today,

1169
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 4: these five final games, but really projecting toward the big dance,

1170
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 4: I can't take maybe in a single game, I could

1171
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 4: take a team like Florida. You can't take them to

1172
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 4: make this deep run because they have too many warts.

1173
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they just can't. They're not capable of sustaining

1174
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 3: success for the long haul.

1175
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it would be hard to take them

1176
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 2: because of that. And this is to me, it's just

1177
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 2: so hard to handicap. You know, these these tournament games

1178
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 2: sometimes because our early futures, because you get a team

1179
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 2: that goes in a hot run or you know, you

1180
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 2: mentioned even Albert. Albert could be a two seed. We've

1181
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 2: seen a fifteen B to two a lot more recently

1182
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 2: over the years. Have a cold night, you know, teams

1183
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 2: that rely on the three pointer a lot. You have

1184
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 2: a good night, you win it, you win a game,

1185
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 2: you have a bad night, you get upset. I mean

1186
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 2: it's it's I sometimes worry about those teams that just

1187
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 2: shoot a high, high percent of threes. I mean, we've

1188
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 2: seen again over the years, more recently, there are teams

1189
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 2: like last year Yukon Shaoh three and May a lot

1190
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 2: of threes. We also have a big, strong inside presence too,

1191
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 2: and you'll be able to do both. I think at

1192
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 2: a high level helps you out if you are ready.

1193
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 2: On any team in the tournament that just relies heavily

1194
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 2: on to me on three pointers. I'm not saying that's

1195
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 2: Open or Florida, but just in general, they're just not

1196
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 2: going to win the tournament. It's just too hard to

1197
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 2: make sure you make all your threes in six straight games.

1198
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1199
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 5: And you know, and also, guys, I was trying to

1200
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 5: not try to sound like I don't bet. I just

1201
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 5: don't bet. Of course, I bet, but I don't bet

1202
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 5: a lot of these these finals. Matter of fact, the

1203
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 5: first two rounds of NCAA tournament, I'm going to be firing,

1204
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 5: and you know, I'll be firing on things against the public.

1205
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 5: In the first I like betting first half dogs. It's

1206
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 5: a pure number. There's a lot of things. I'll maybe

1207
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 5: get into the third hour of the show, but I'll

1208
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 5: definitely be betting. But I just this, these these SEC games.

1209
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 5: I'm a little more picky at these finals here and

1210
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 5: watch them have a have a good game here. That's

1211
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 5: all awesome, you big game. I really don't live bet

1212
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 5: a lot, and I should. I should live bet more

1213
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 5: for sure, some good opportunities. And I only recommend guys

1214
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 5: betting Dorn the commercials too. When you're not on a

1215
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 5: TV delay so you can see what's going on live,

1216
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 5: you're probably at home probably at least ten that's low,

1217
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 5: probably like a fifteen second delay from what you're seeing

1218
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 5: on the screen to what you're betting on. So but

1219
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 5: I do like betting Dorn the commercials when I do bet,

1220
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 5: and uh, you know, during the NFL season, I'm betting

1221
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 5: some stuff Dorn the commercials, even the big the playoff

1222
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 5: games and stuff. I got into some more live betting,

1223
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 5: but yeah, this situation here, I want to tell you something.

1224
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 5: When the first, you know, round of the Dance comes,

1225
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 5: not so easy for those bookmakers to put a lot

1226
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 5: of things into those live lines. So good point, Jeff,

1227
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 5: could be some good opportunities to live bet here.

1228
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 4: It's going to be a crazy tournament, man, because what

1229
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 4: you talking about, Jeff, These teams that rely so heavily

1230
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 4: on the three. I think Creighton is a great example

1231
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 4: of that. I call Creighton a smart stupid team where

1232
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 4: they have the potential to make you look really smart,

1233
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 4: they also have the potential to make you look really stupid.

1234
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 4: And they're a really good team. But when you rely

1235
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 4: that heavily, they shoot it at a high clip.

1236
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 3: But there are.

1237
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 4: Games where you're just not hot, you're cold, and it's

1238
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 4: they don't have a great secondary punch. So I think

1239
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 4: Crayton could win a couple of games, I don't expect

1240
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 4: them to sustain it. So that's what's so tricky is

1241
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 4: in one single game, you could come out smelling like

1242
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 4: a rose. But when they have that potential to completely

1243
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 4: let you down, that's what's gonna be crazy. About the

1244
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 4: first couple of rounds where you're gonna get some crazy

1245
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:52,959
Speaker 4: Cinderella type upsets against these big dogs. And it's tough

1246
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 4: to know, it really is. It's tricky to know going in.

1247
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 4: That's where what you're talking about crack. The in game

1248
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 4: stuff might make more sense. Yeah, if you're honest with

1249
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 4: yourself and like I don't have a great sense of

1250
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 4: which version of this particular team is gonna show up today,

1251
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 4: you might want to wait until in game and you

1252
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 4: get a better sense of how things are gonna play out.

1253
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 3: You might get better value that way.

1254
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 5: Yeah. I like betting. I'll tell you when when you're

1255
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,439
Speaker 5: betting in game two, guys, No, you're laying a little

1256
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 5: bit more juice. So you have to be more selective

1257
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 5: not to just go crazy and re bet and re

1258
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 5: bet and re bet. But there are some situations there.

1259
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 5: Just put yourself in the public shoes and the bookmaker's shoes,

1260
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 5: like I always say, and think about what the bookmaker

1261
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 5: is looking at. They're looking at you, the public betting

1262
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 5: a big favorite when they're down, Oh they got to

1263
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 5: come back. They got to just think about that. You

1264
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 5: might be paying at tax on those big favorites. When

1265
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 5: they get off to a slow start and it looks like, oh,

1266
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 5: well the line was twelve before the game, not can

1267
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 5: lay six? Just think about that when put that into

1268
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 5: your equation.

1269
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 4: You know we're gonna put some Isaac Loehenkron into our

1270
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 4: equation as well. All right, that's always big, you know

1271
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 4: for fucking baseball. It's definitely the power hitting numbers right there.

1272
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 3: You got to have that. We got I low with

1273
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 3: the latest. What's going on here?

1274
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 10: I love well Speaking of equations, coming up at the

1275
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 10: top of the hour, the Ivy League Tournament championship game

1276
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:20,800

1304
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 4: I'm just trying to think, am I forgetting when this

1305
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 4: occurs in other sports or other levels where the Long

1306
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 4: Beach State situation where the head coach Dan Munson has

1307
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 4: been fired, right, He's gonna be let go at the

1308
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 4: end of the season, but they're like, yeah, just finished

1309
01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 4: the season though, and they end up winning their conference tournament.

1310
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 3: They're going to the Big Dance. Does this happen elsewhere?

1311
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 4: This has happened in college football where they say you're

1312
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 4: not gonna be back, but you know, finish it out here.

1313
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 4: Am I forgetting those instances?

1314
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:17,919
Speaker 2: It doesn't happen publicly. In twenty ten, the Panthers team,

1315
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 2: as I was two and fourteen, we were bad about

1316
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 2: week seven or eight. Our head coach John Fox came

1317
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 2: into the locker room, the team meeting room, I should

1318
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 2: say and say, hey, guys, I've been told I won't

1319
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 2: be back next season. We're gonna keep the same staff.

1320
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 2: I want you guys to play for yourselves, play for

1321
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 2: each other. We're gonna keep coaching you hard, but just know,

1322
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 2: like basically his idea was like, make sure you put

1323
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 2: on film for other staffs to hire you, you know, for

1324
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 2: your new coach next year, for wherever you're going after

1325
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 2: the season, Like make sure you have you know, you

1326
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 2: have good film. But that wasn't known publicly, you know,

1327
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 2: like that's it typically is not publicly. No, you know,

1328
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 2: if a college football coach is a lame duck for

1329
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 2: the season. They're just a lame duck. If the NFL

1330
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 2: coach is they just not talked about in the way

1331
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 2: where like you're fired, but you can finish out the

1332
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 2: rest of the season. So college basketball is very unique

1333
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 2: in that way. And I would imagine that Long Beach States,

1334
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 2: you know, athletic director don't expect them to be a

1335
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 2: tournament team, Otherwise he would have fired his coach before

1336
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 2: the tournament.

1337
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 7: That's right.

1338
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 5: There can always be moving parts to behind the scenes.

1339
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 5: We don't know about them because it just doesn't seem feasible.

1340
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 5: I mean, how can it be possible that this situation happened.

1341
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 5: And to answer your question, Brian, I think this and

1342
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 5: even Jeff said, this may be almost unique to college

1343
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 5: basketball situational.

1344
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, there was college football. They fire a coach,

1345
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 2: you immediately announce it because you got to you gotta

1346
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 2: get on your recruiting. You to hire the new coach.

1347
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 2: You have to hire a search firm. College basketball, I

1348
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 2: think is unique in this way because the posts and

1349
01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 2: tournament set up. You don't have a posts and tournament

1350
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 2: in foot ball. You know, you might moving forward, The

1351
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 2: Big Ten has talked about possibly you know, doing a

1352
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 2: different type of you know tournament based off of you know,

1353
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 2: what the what the playoff format could be. But you

1354
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 2: just don't get that. And I think that's that's part

1355
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 2: of it is you just don't get that that same

1356
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 2: tournament feel and set up as you do.

1357
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 4: In other sports, it's almost always an interim coach, almost

1358
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 4: always right, few exceptions, but college basketball is a different animal.

1359
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 4: There was also there was a women's college basketball coach

1360
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 4: and they lost, and it was in the postgame press

1361
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 4: conference she was asked a question. She's like, yeah, well

1362
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 4: this was my last game, so I'm not going to

1363
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:38,919
Speaker 4: be back here.

1364
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 2: So it's just like, well it's a question about the future,

1365
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 2: and she's like, I don't feel comfortable answering that. It

1366
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 2: was Utah States coach that was kind of foul by

1367
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 2: that program, Like you, if you're gonna fire her, don't

1368
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 2: send her out for the press conference.

1369
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, they they took a chance.

1370
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 5: Right.

1371
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 4: It reminds me a radio if you're you know, moving

1372
01:07:57,920 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 4: on in the radio station says yeah, go ahead and

1373
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 4: have a last show. Some stations allow that, some do not.

1374
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 4: You're taking a chance that way. So Utah they took

1375
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 4: a chance with her, right, that's ay, that lamb basing

1376
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 4: the whole program or the higher ups. But you know

1377
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 4: they were right. She didn't crush them. But it was

1378
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,839
Speaker 4: a strange situation. How about this. You're talking, Jeff about

1379
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 4: putting a good film out there. Yeah, Aaron Donald, you

1380
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:28,479
Speaker 4: talk about good film? Yeah, balks away from the Rams

1381
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 4: ten year career he joined Barry Sanders. Those are the

1382
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,679
Speaker 4: only players in NFL history to play at least ten

1383
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 4: seasons and go to the Pro Bowl every single year,

1384
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 4: and eight of those ten years for Aaron Donald, he

1385
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 4: was a first team All Pro, which is the elite

1386
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 4: of the elite, three time Defensive Player of the Year,

1387
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 4: just an absolute beast and he hangs them up.

1388
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 3: He calls it a career.

1389
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 2: There's a case that we made. You know, he's obviously

1390
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 2: the greatest, if it'sive player of all time. I think

1391
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 2: maybe for a certain period of years, he was the

1392
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 2: thing that I always marvel about him. It's really hard

1393
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 2: to sort of tell, you know, I'm not gonna I

1394
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 2: don't want to be like the Yeah, I played football

1395
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 2: and I can see these type of things. But the

1396
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 2: amount of times that he beat a double team, yeah,

1397
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 2: is incredible. Bengals fans remember, obviously that the faithful final

1398
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 2: play of the Super Bowl against the Rams, and he

1399
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 2: beat the left guard to the outside that sack Joe Burrow.

1400
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 2: The center was coming like, he beat the left guard

1401
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,600
Speaker 2: before the center could get there. I mean, that's how

1402
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 2: quick and dominant he was. Offensive linemen are rejoicing now,

1403
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:35,720
Speaker 2: you know, not having to block him anymore. Just an incredible,

1404
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:39,879
Speaker 2: incredible career, dominant from the first snap to the end.

1405
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 2: Uh you know. Any he's listed like three hundred pounds,

1406
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 2: probably not close to three hundred pounds, probably the two

1407
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 2: seventy five to two eighty range. The thing this brings

1408
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 2: up for me though, just it's just a general question

1409
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 2: about the retirement, is you know he he basically you

1410
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 2: mentioned Barry Sanders. He pulled at Barry Sanders. He has

1411
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 2: seven eight years left and probably one hundred million dollars

1412
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:07,680
Speaker 2: if he wants to continue to play, maybe more than that.

1413
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 2: And so I'm very curious to find out the reason

1414
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 2: why I envy players like him who can just say,

1415
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm done playing football. I'm done. A

1416
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 2: lot of us can't do that. A lot of us

1417
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 2: stick along, stick around too long we went wait for

1418
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 2: that final year to like me like I should have

1419
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 2: retired after eight years, and I just sort of crumbled

1420
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 2: the body wise in the camp with the Lions for

1421
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:31,639
Speaker 2: my ninth season, like I don't waste everyone's time, my time,

1422
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 2: the Lion's time, everyone else. But Donald's like, look, I'm done.

1423
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 2: I'm done. I'm retiring. But I still kind of want

1424
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 2: to find out why. What was it injury related? Did

1425
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,680
Speaker 2: he have an injury we don't know about. Was it

1426
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 2: just the grind of of of the whole thing? Is

1427
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 2: he's just over it by now? I Mean, there's a

1428
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 2: lot of questions I have though about sort of why

1429
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 2: he did it now, and I hope he I hope

1430
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 2: he sort of answers him. There's no wrong decision. I think.

1431
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 2: I love he's able to do this, but I kind

1432
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 2: of want to know why if.

1433
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:00,679
Speaker 5: I'm really not that, I'm not really that. I guess

1434
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,600
Speaker 5: here on his retirement, but he hasn't really seemed like

1435
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 5: he's been all in like the last year though, since

1436
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 5: winning the Super Bowl, so correct, you know, he's been

1437
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 5: hitting this thirty two years old, so he's battling in

1438
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 5: some injuries this past couple of seasons. So I'm Jeff.

1439
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 5: You said, like your ninth year, So did you have

1440
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 5: physical ailments for just like, you know, because you guys

1441
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:24,679
Speaker 5: take so many aliments in Europe, especially in your position,

1442
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 5: did you just the ninth year though, of being out

1443
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 5: there was just did you know going in like this

1444
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 5: is going to be so tough this year?

1445
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:38,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you do. I broke my leg in November

1446
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 2: of twenty fourteen, and then I broke my leg again

1447
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 2: three hundred and sixty four days later in November fifteen,

1448
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,599
Speaker 2: my same ankle, same everything, And I had a surgery

1449
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 2: in between that in February to remove some pins. I

1450
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 2: had three ankle surgeries in about, you know, thirteen months,

1451
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 2: end up having the last surgery in December, and so

1452
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 2: I should have just called it. I retired. There there's

1453
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 2: this whole retirement insurance benefit. I could have gone seven

1454
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 2: figure salary essentially or payment for one single season, and

1455
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 2: that's kind of the boring part of the point. But

1456
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 2: I chose to try to play my ninth year because

1457
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 2: I didn't want to end my career on the back

1458
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:22,639
Speaker 2: of a cart. I didn't want to walk. I didn't

1459
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 2: want to end my career like injured essentially, And so

1460
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 2: I want to end my career upright walking off the field. Now,

1461
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 2: I got cut the line of the training camp. So

1462
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:34,760
Speaker 2: I did walk off the field, I guess then, but

1463
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:36,639
Speaker 2: I had no business being out there. I wasn't able

1464
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 2: to physically play anymore. My ankle, just my leg, my

1465
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 2: left leg, I couldn't do it. I couldn't practice more

1466
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:45,240
Speaker 2: than a couple days in a row with my ankle

1467
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 2: just sort of flaring up and getting a point where

1468
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 2: it just it was bothered me too much to really

1469
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 2: do much, you know, playing in a game was difficult.

1470
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 2: It just I was beat crack, I was My body

1471
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 2: was done. And I knew my last year. I was

1472
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 2: having we hire our second kid, and I told my wife, like,

1473
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:00,680
Speaker 2: this will be the end of it. I'm coming home

1474
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 2: after the season and all that, and I just I

1475
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 2: wanted to finish my career not on a cart. And

1476
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 2: that was a mistake. I just should have retired and

1477
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 2: jot that seven figure insurance settlement and bedoing of my career.

1478
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,599
Speaker 4: Well, and that's where it comes back to Aaron Donald, Right,

1479
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 4: That's where it's interesting where he was nowhere near that stage.

1480
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 4: He was as dominant as it gets and still he

1481
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 4: chose to shut it down early. And look, it might

1482
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,160
Speaker 4: become more of a trend where guys, especially when they

1483
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:33,639
Speaker 4: play those physically demanding positions like all O line d tackle,

1484
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:35,719
Speaker 4: you know, you're in the trenches, you're in the pits.

1485
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 4: You might see a guy like Aaron Donald have ten

1486
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 4: electric outstanding top shelf seasons and say, you know, I've

1487
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,639
Speaker 4: wont to ring, I've accomplished everything individually. I'm gonna call

1488
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:50,679
Speaker 4: it here. And it was magnificent. I love Kyler Murray,

1489
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 4: the Arizona Cardinals quarterback. He just tweeted, thank god. Yeah,

1490
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 4: as far as Aaron Donald are retiring, and enjoy your

1491
01:13:57,439 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 4: retirement and please don't come back so well.

1492
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 2: I wonder IFULLL find out Aaron Donald had a knee

1493
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 2: injury that like we didn't really know about it. I mean,

1494
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 2: that's what it just he just and guys, I mean it,

1495
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:10,640
Speaker 2: it's just mentally grinding a lot of times. Again, like

1496
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 2: you physically have to retire and sometimes you just mentally.

1497
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:14,680
Speaker 2: And he's in a position where not a lot of

1498
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 2: good This is a little I have this jealousy like

1499
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 2: a lot of players haven't made as much money as him,

1500
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 2: haven't won a ring and have to as a strong word,

1501
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 2: but keep playing chasing something a ring, more money, another

1502
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 2: pension year, and Donald's like, look, I made my money.

1503
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:35,639
Speaker 2: I have ten years of pension. Like I'm good, I'm done.

1504
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go the broadcasting or go hang out my

1505
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 2: family more, or I have another hobby I want to do.

1506
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 2: And a lot of players don't have the ability to retire.

1507
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 2: He like he did, and.

1508
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 4: I think real fast fellas if you think about the timing,

1509
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 4: that's where you mentioned I can't help but think of

1510
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 4: Andrew Luck, you know where you talk about physically the

1511
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:58,040
Speaker 4: mental grind of it.

1512
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:00,839
Speaker 3: But he retired two weeks before for the season.

1513
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 4: You know, Aaron Donald retires in March, well before the

1514
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 4: NFL Draft, Like that's.

1515
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 3: When you do it.

1516
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 4: You don't do it, especially as a quarterback, two weeks

1517
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 4: before the season starts.

1518
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 3: Like I get it.

1519
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 2: I at that time, was he back on on the

1520
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:16,720
Speaker 2: practice field though at that time.

1521
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:18,320
Speaker 3: Well he was trying to get back there.

1522
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 4: He had I don't know what he was dealing with

1523
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:22,639
Speaker 4: at the time, the ankle injury, and of course had

1524
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:25,640
Speaker 4: the ailing shoulders. Yeah, but I get it, like he

1525
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 4: had so many things that he battled through physically, but

1526
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 4: it wasn't news to him. It wasn't like, you know what, uh,

1527
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:35,240
Speaker 4: I'm having these injury issues.

1528
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:36,519
Speaker 3: He knew that the whole time.

1529
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:39,600
Speaker 4: You just can't leave a franchise in that pore of

1530
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:43,680
Speaker 4: a situation when you decide to walk away, right, I'm with.

1531
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:45,599
Speaker 2: You there with with with sort of what Luck did.

1532
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 2: But I will tell you, guys, the I was hurt.

1533
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 2: As I mentioned from I was basically heard from August

1534
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:57,679
Speaker 2: of twenty fourteen. I just okated my big toe all

1535
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 2: the way through August of Tornyson team. When the Lions

1536
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:05,679
Speaker 2: cut me. I spent two years rehabbing and just every

1537
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 2: day worried about how my ankle feels, or my toe feels,

1538
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:12,639
Speaker 2: or just my it was turned thirty, Like just your

1539
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 2: body just feels different at thirty. And it gets really

1540
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 2: mentally exhausting to live that way as an athlete, not

1541
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:24,599
Speaker 2: as a obviously, I'm talking as an athlete, guys, not

1542
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:26,719
Speaker 2: just you know, I don't want you to feel sorry

1543
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 2: for any of us, but just as an athlete, it

1544
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 2: just becomes something you just it's overwhelming. And Andrew Luck,

1545
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:35,679
Speaker 2: I think, was like he just reached a breaking point.

1546
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 2: Brian where he's like, look, man, I just can't do

1547
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 2: this anymore. I just can't. I just can't. And I

1548
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 2: understand that. I totally get what Andrew Luck was like,

1549
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 2: I can't do anymore. And Aaron Donald might have reached

1550
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:48,600
Speaker 2: that point too, where he's like, I just can't do

1551
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 2: it anymore.

1552

1581
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:16,599
Speaker 5: You know, we're gonna go to Wisconsin, Illinois. I'm gonna

1582
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 5: go to one of these basketball props here. You know,

1583
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 5: this guy had forty points last night, so you won't say,

1584
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 5: how can he not have twenty and a half tonight?

1585
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:31,679
Speaker 5: Illinois Terrence Shannon over twenty and a half points. He's

1586
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:34,719
Speaker 5: looking to be the MVP of the Big Ten tournament.

1587
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 5: If Illinois wins this game. I see him having a

1588
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 5: big game putting up over twenty and a half points.

1589
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:41,680
Speaker 5: So let's stick with that one for the parley. I mean,

1590
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:44,760
Speaker 5: I'm sorry for the section of our show like that.

1591
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 2: All right.

1592
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 3: He was amazing yesterday.

1593
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 2: Now I don't have a great one for college basketball today.

1594
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:52,600
Speaker 2: Am I allowed to put in some NFL ones in

1595
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 2: this discussion?

1596
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 3: Go for him?

1597
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 2: Man service, because like I was on the BENMGF this morning,

1598
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 2: and Molik Neighbors is plus one to be the fifth

1599
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 2: pickoverall on the APP that I think is good value

1600
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 2: at the moment, because the Chargers are drafting a wide

1601
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 2: receiver at five. Their offensive line is not that bad.

1602
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 2: They don't have any wide receivers. Mike Ewan's gone, not

1603
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 2: Mike Evans, Keen Allen's gone, Mike Williams is gone. It's

1604
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:23,600
Speaker 2: a heavy wide receiver draft. The draft is gonna go quarterback, quarterback, quarterback,

1605
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:29,879
Speaker 2: wide receiver, and Neighbors is there at five. I think also, guys,

1606
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:34,759
Speaker 2: it would be okay if you took Romadonsay there as well,

1607
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 2: either or one or the other both romadons Day. It's

1608
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 2: plus five fifty right now for that pole position at

1609
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 2: five right now, So I'm going to NFL here. I

1610
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 2: don't have many college basketball player props like like your

1611
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 2: crack might have.

1612
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 3: Hey, I like it, man, Honesty is the best policy.

1613
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 3: Nothing wrong with that. We're looking for value.

1614
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with the SEC championship game. Here, you've

1615
01:19:58,960 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 4: got Florida.

1616
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 3: They lead the.

1617
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 4: SEC and rebounds. I'm gonna go with Tyree Samuel. I'm

1618
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 4: gonna go over six and a half rebounds for the

1619
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 4: Gators against Auburn today.

1620
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 3: I think he gets there.

1621
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:16,280
Speaker 4: So I questioned Florida's defense for sure, but they can

1622
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 4: get after you on the boards, which is weird. It's

1623
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 4: weird that they would lead the SEC and rebounds and

1624
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:24,599
Speaker 4: be so bad defensively. But here we are. I still

1625
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 4: think Samuel gets the seven rebounds.

1626
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 5: So there you go.

1627
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 4: That's what I have during the chat with old Tyree's

1628
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 4: all right coming up next. It was a bittersweet achievement,

1629
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,719
Speaker 4: if you will. We'll get to that right around the corner.

1630
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:42,559
Speaker 4: Hang with us, man. One of the things I love

1631
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:46,599
Speaker 4: about betting is when a random game is just getting

1632
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 4: heavily bet on. We're seeing the point spread, the line

1633
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 4: in the Brown Yale IVY League Final. It just keeps

1634
01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 4: going back and forth. Jeff it was six and a

1635
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 4: half to start. Yale's favored ticked up to seven and

1636
01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:04,719
Speaker 4: a half, ticked up again to eight and a half.

1637
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 4: It's gone back down to seven and a half. We're

1638
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 4: back up to eight and a half. It's we're getting

1639
01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:11,840
Speaker 4: crazy line movement in Brown Yale.

1640
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:14,640
Speaker 2: People are just excited for something away. They spend the

1641
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:15,160
Speaker 2: last fee.

1642
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 3: It's the only thing on here, you go.

1643
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 2: Players, Championship doesn't do it for you, guys. I got

1644
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:22,120
Speaker 2: a shuffler future. I don't know if I'm the grand

1645
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 2: of that one or not. I don't know if he's

1646
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 2: gonna be able to come back from seven back today

1647
01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:27,759
Speaker 2: or eight back today.

1648
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 4: What is the most degenerate bet you've made thus far

1649
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:34,639
Speaker 4: now that you're live in North Carolina, Jeff, Oh?

1650
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 2: Uh, I doubled down on a Uh what I doubled

1651
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 2: down on?

1652
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 5: Oh?

1653
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:44,679
Speaker 2: I mean Princeton yesterday. I had first half under in

1654
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 2: that game didn't go well, they're down a bunch of money.

1655
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,760
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I lost money. There's not a bunch.

1656
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 2: And then I took them live plus six and a

1657
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 2: half and they lost them. That's probably it. I typically

1658
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 2: don't do that where I just try to make my

1659
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:58,920
Speaker 2: money back on a wager I thought they would come back.

1660
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 2: I mean again, Browns a very good I've been. There's

1661
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 2: nothing done to be done yet, like there's no I

1662
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,599
Speaker 2: will say though, the bonus wagers are kind of pointless.

1663
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:11,280
Speaker 2: I know they're fun to like. I guess maybe to

1664
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:12,959
Speaker 2: say out loud you, I got bonus wager.

1665
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:13,759
Speaker 5: But a little trinket.

1666
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 2: I've been doing like random parlays for the twenty five

1667
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 2: dollars bonus bets. So I'm trying to trying to hit

1668
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:21,160
Speaker 2: big on those.

1669
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,799
Speaker 5: Jeff, you know that ninth year of that big insurance

1670
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 5: NFL when in the NFL that that that ninth year

1671
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,559
Speaker 5: that you didn't get the seven figure insurance thing. I'm

1672
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 5: sure you had long term plans for seven figure bet

1673
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:38,280
Speaker 5: MGM destroying. So I will tell you what that's going

1674
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:39,160
Speaker 5: to make up for it.

1675
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 2: It was nice that when I deposited my money into BETMGM,

1676
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:45,599
Speaker 2: I got a text from uh, you know, someone who

1677
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 2: works for them, saying like, thank you for depositing this

1678
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 2: large sum of money, right, but can I be your friend?

1679
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's one of the one, and it's good to

1680
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 5: have one of them, by the way, So I have

1681
01:22:57,280 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 5: maybe one of the only companies that do that. So

1682
01:22:59,560 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 5: that that's it.

1683
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 2: Was nice. It was like, I see that you want

1684
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 2: to wager a lot of money. Let's let's uh, let's

1685
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 2: have a lot of communication.

1686
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 9: Uh.

1687
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 2: And again it's not that much money, guys. Again, the

1688
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 2: key is, I said, sometime Christ you wager the amount

1689
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 2: you're willing to lose. That's it.

1690
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 5: So where's that? Where's your green on? Brian and I

1694
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 5: No? He didn't say that change his kids. His kids

01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 5: have to be like daddy something.

1696
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 2: I don't think. Well, kids have been at Hebrew school

1697

1698
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 2: will go put something green on for you guys. Later.

1699
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:41,599
Speaker 2: I will tell you the one fun story I have

1700
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 2: about about legal sports wagering. We were in Mexico, my

1701
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 2: wife and I this past past week. We do our

1702
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:49,640
Speaker 2: like we have an annual trip that we take at

1703
01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 2: the end of every football season. And I did tell

1704
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:54,160
Speaker 2: her like, hey, han, just let me let you know

1705
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 2: when we get back to Charlotte. Because we landed Monday

1706
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 2: mid day, I'm like, hey, I'm gonna put more money

1707
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 2: in the accounts, like this is real. It's happening now.

1708
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:07,040
Speaker 2: Like I've been having the offshores, I'm sletting. I'm gonna

1709
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 2: put a lit more money. You're gonna see You're gonna

1710
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 2: see some withdrawals from the checking account in these into

1711
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:15,360
Speaker 2: these apps. I'm gonna wage a little more money now.

1712
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lose all of it, don't worry. I'm

1713
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 2: not that bad. But like, but I'm gonna put a

1714
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:22,800
Speaker 2: little a little more. Your unit size is gonna up

1715
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 2: a little bit. Now, that's legal because I always be

1716
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 2: worried about getting my money out of the offshores, so

1717
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 2: never wagered a ton of money. Yeah, so I have

1718
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 2: to finally tell her that I kind of gamble now

1719
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:35,920
Speaker 2: because I like, I know I do. So I had

1720
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 2: to admit, what.

1732
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 4: of my friends has a nice place the big screen.

1733
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:09,599
Speaker 4: It used to go from these like horrible black and

1734
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 4: white TVs just jammed in one of our friends basement

1735
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:16,719
Speaker 4: and now it's a little more plush. But we always

1736
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:18,280
Speaker 4: get together for that. So I'll try to make it

1737
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 4: home for that nice Yeah.

1738
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 2: One of the one of the days I go meet

1739
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 2: a buddy at a you know, a sports bar and

1740
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:27,400
Speaker 2: watch the games. The thing about you know, being in

1741
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 2: the East coach, they don't start till noon. My kids

1742
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:31,040
Speaker 2: come home from school at thirty thirty, so I don't

1743
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:33,400
Speaker 2: really have like a big window to be out at

1744
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:36,200
Speaker 2: the at the bar watching watching the games with some friends.

1745
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:40,759
Speaker 2: And Saturday is you know, softball practice, baseball games. I'm

1746
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 2: I'm not really around the TV as much as i'd like.

1747
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 2: But the benefit of smartphones is I can watch games

1748
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:51,040
Speaker 2: on my on my phone. Sure, and uh, I mean

1749
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:53,080
Speaker 2: out wager on them. You know, I'll have money on them,

1750
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 2: but I can't do as much because you know, the

1751
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 2: time thing with my kids, and you know, once they

1752
01:25:57,560 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 2: come home from school. I mean, I will have it on,

1753
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:02,839
Speaker 2: but I'm not gonna, you know, prioritize watching college basketball

1754
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:04,479
Speaker 2: over missing the softball game.

1755
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 5: I myself. I'm in Atlantic City now, I'll be flying

1756
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 5: back to Vegas. I flew out here for last night.

1757
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 5: It's one of Tony Orlando's final shows. My friend Tony

1758
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:15,679
Speaker 5: Orlando and I had a like one of his final

1759
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:19,559
Speaker 5: shows here and my aunt, my aunt Lauries drove down

1760
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 5: from the Bronx, drove down from New York. And I

1761
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:24,559
Speaker 5: had to be here for my cousin Chris and his

1762
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 5: his his wife and his step son. I had to

1763
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 5: be here for the family. But I am getting right

1764
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:32,320
Speaker 5: back on a plane, going to be in Vegas for

1765
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:35,640
Speaker 5: for March Madness selection Sunday. I'm happy I'm here though.

1766
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 5: I'm going to have some alone time and and I'm

1767
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 5: gonna see these lines go up and see what happens here.

1768
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:43,640
Speaker 5: I'm gonna try to terrorize a couple of the bookmakers

1769
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:44,520
Speaker 5: here in Jersey.

1770
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:47,960
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, terrorize them tonight.

1771
01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, as long as you know this is a

1772
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:54,680
Speaker 5: battle every year, guys. A couple of years ago, the

1773
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:56,759
Speaker 5: South Point in Las Vegas put the lines up first,

1774
01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 5: and like they had a challenge so they put them

1775
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 5: up first. Then you'll have like some of the other

1776
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 5: sports books putting the lines up first. It's a we

1777
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 5: don't know, even the pros don't know who is going

1778
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:10,479
Speaker 5: to put these lines and take that chance to put

1779
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:13,719
Speaker 5: the lineup first. I have an idea, but it changes

1780
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 5: year to year. So some of these books are here

1781
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:19,760
Speaker 5: in New Jersey. I'm happy to know that. And uh, well, yeah,

1782
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 5: we'll see what's gonna happen. I'll text you guys, any

1783
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 5: any late breaking info again an early lines going to

1784
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 5: hit any line moves. Yeah, you really want to be

1785
01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:31,280
Speaker 5: on the top, you know, even if you don't like

1786
01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:34,000
Speaker 5: one thing about that the text that I that I

1787
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 5: was sending, even if you don't like that team, bet it,

1788
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:39,800
Speaker 5: bet that move, bet that game, because it's going to move.

1789
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:42,280
Speaker 5: You can always get off it. So that's an interesting

1790
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 5: you know, in case you didn't like. If there were

1791
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:46,920
Speaker 5: situations where maybe you know, I know you like Brian

1792
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,760
Speaker 5: doesn't like to bet against Notre game or the Dolphins. Here,

1793
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:51,679
Speaker 5: it's gonna move, so you could know, so you could

1794
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 5: bet the other way, and you can bet it but no,

1795
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 5: you can get off. And I was being real serious.

1796
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 5: So and and like Jeff, I don't want to bet

1797
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 5: against Oregon or you know, but I think Jeff fear

1798
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 5: at the point now, especially in college basketball, you'd bet

1799
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 5: if you thought there was an opportunity to bet against

1800
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 5: the Oregon you'd bet against them, right.

1801
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:12,240
Speaker 2: No, I I've been I'm a very close. I don't.

1802
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:15,720
Speaker 2: I am not one of these people that is like, well,

1803
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 2: if my team loses and I make money, I'm fine

1804
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:17,720
Speaker 2: with it.

1805
01:28:17,800 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 1: No.

1806
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:21,719
Speaker 2: Like last night, I had a Colorado plus five hundred

1807
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 2: future to win the Packed Work Tournament. I liked it

1808
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:25,160
Speaker 2: that where they were at the in the side of

1809
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:27,200
Speaker 2: the bracket they were on. I thought they would beat

1810
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 2: Washington State, which they did. It was a much easier

1811
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:32,160
Speaker 2: side than decide Oregon and Arizona R on and so

1812
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:34,800
Speaker 2: you know. And plus they didn't get USC which can

1813
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:37,160
Speaker 2: be a stricty hot team at times. Tried a plus

1814
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:39,720
Speaker 2: hundred ticket on them. I took some back on the

1815
01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:41,280
Speaker 2: organ last nights. I wanted to make some money. I

1816
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 2: didn't want to be those people like oh orgon loss,

1817
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:45,280
Speaker 2: but at least like cash by plus five hundred ticket.

1818
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:47,679
Speaker 2: So I made money either way. I took some Moregan

1819
01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:50,759
Speaker 2: money line yesterday to cut into the Colorado profits.

1820
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:51,080
Speaker 5: But I don't.

1821
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:52,280
Speaker 2: I don't want I'm not one of those people. I

1822
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 2: either bet on my team to cover a spread or

1823
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:56,960
Speaker 2: win out right, I don't bet I'm them to take points.

1824
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 2: I just I just don't like that. I don't like

1825
01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:01,600
Speaker 2: it too. I know it's we let's say that, but

1826
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,880
Speaker 2: I rarely bet on them plus points because I think

1827
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 2: mindset of like, oh, well, at least they covered for me.

1828
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:09,720
Speaker 2: I don't like that. I don't like being like, oh,

1829
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 2: they lost but they covered. I don't. I didn't. I

1830
01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:12,920
Speaker 2: don't sit wrong with that.

1831
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 4: Feeling feels dirty. How about your Ducks winning last night, though,

1832
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:18,360
Speaker 4: and how about that? Right you think about this too,

1833
01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:21,439
Speaker 4: it's rare. Think about the times you could say this

1834
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 4: team won it all and it was bittersweet, but that's

1835
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:29,640
Speaker 4: what happened. The Ducks won the Final Pack twelve championship.

1836
01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:32,719
Speaker 4: It's going away and they did this for college football.

1837
01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 4: We talked about this the Final Pack twelve college football game.

1838
01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 4: They put together this great highlight package and showing some

1839
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:43,759
Speaker 4: of the better moments of Pac twelve college football history.

1840
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:46,800
Speaker 4: They did that too, last night with the final Pack

1841
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:51,719
Speaker 4: twelve championship and it's man, it's it's gone this conference.

1842
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:54,920
Speaker 3: This isn't like some Joe Blow conference. It's gone now.

1843
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:57,680
Speaker 4: The last two teams are sort of merging with the

1844
01:29:57,680 --> 01:29:58,799
Speaker 4: West Coast Conference.

1845
01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:02,000
Speaker 3: It's neutered from now on. It's done. It's gone.

1846
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 4: And so it was weird that the Ducks won the

1847
01:30:04,360 --> 01:30:08,000
Speaker 4: final one and great for them, but at the same time, bittersweet.

1848
01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 2: We're doing this with every sport, right So the Patrol

1849
01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 2: Championship game, you know, in football, was on Fox, I believe,

1850
01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:17,600
Speaker 2: but the Patrol Network had their little you know and

1851
01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:19,840
Speaker 2: you know, the recap show, and last night he was

1852
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:22,799
Speaker 2: on Fox again and they did Fox did a little

1853
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:24,559
Speaker 2: bit of like, hey, this is the end, and then

1854
01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:27,080
Speaker 2: Patworld Network did one at the end on the recap show.

1855
01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:29,080
Speaker 2: For every sport, we're gonna get this. For the nf

1856
01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:32,439
Speaker 2: softball season, they had a baseball season, you know, track season.

1857
01:30:33,240 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 2: The Pactal Network is hosting the spring game still for

1858
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:39,000
Speaker 2: the Patrol Conference, so we'll have those. I would imagine

1859
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:42,880
Speaker 2: the end of spring ball as well. It's just yeah,

1860
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:49,320
Speaker 2: it's it's unfortunate. I was asked yesterday where I see

1861
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:52,559
Speaker 2: this in ten years or five years, and my answer was,

1862
01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:56,360
Speaker 2: I think the Olympic Sports decide we can't do this anymore.

1863
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:59,519
Speaker 2: We're gonna just play a West Coast schedule, and they

1864
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:02,240
Speaker 2: just formed their own thing. Football and basketball stay in

1865
01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:09,439
Speaker 2: the Big ten. It really is dumb, silly, whatever word

1866
01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:13,679
Speaker 2: you want to use for soft organ softball to travel

1867
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 2: to Maryland for three game series, it's stupid. I think

1868
01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:19,640
Speaker 2: after a couple of years there's like, we can't do

1869
01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:22,719
Speaker 2: this anymore. Let's go let everyone go back and playing

1870
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:27,280
Speaker 2: a Pacific Region Olympic Sports schedule. Football and basketball, you

1871
01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:30,760
Speaker 2: guys can stay in the Big ten and we're going

1872
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:34,280
Speaker 2: to have our Olympic sports play a normal schedule. It's unfair

1873
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:37,360
Speaker 2: to them. Then it's up for this. It's a long travel.

1874
01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:39,840
Speaker 2: They're not on chartered planes very often. They don't get

1875
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:42,599
Speaker 2: the same services and the easy travel the football gets

1876
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:46,240
Speaker 2: at times. Football is in and out, fine Friday, play Saturday,

1877
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:51,559
Speaker 2: go home. Softball, soccer, volleyball, basketball, to some extreme is

1878
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:54,800
Speaker 2: not that way. It's commercial flights. It's long weeks away,

1879
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:59,880
Speaker 2: long flights back home. It doesn't make much sense for

1880
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:03,240
Speaker 2: that to be the way. So I hope they changed that,

1881
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:06,880
Speaker 2: but look, I'm glad for Oregon most minutes lost this season,

1882
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:11,040
Speaker 2: uh in their rotation to injuries, super injured team this season,

1883
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:13,840
Speaker 2: sort of healthy and Outland eight Schostship players available last

1884
01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:16,680
Speaker 2: night and then the tournament men, so I'm excited to

1885
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 2: watch them. For my luck, guys, it'll be the last

1886
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:21,439
Speaker 2: game on Thursday or Friday night. It'll be at eleven

1887
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:24,880
Speaker 2: pm Eastern. Just the worst toy, the worst time slot

1888
01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:29,360
Speaker 2: possible for for my Ducks. But uh, you know, it's fun.

1889
01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:30,839
Speaker 2: It's always fun when your teams in the tournament.

1890
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. At least they won the final one.

1891
01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:37,080
Speaker 2: You know, they won the final one. The only the

1892
01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:39,439
Speaker 2: only team in all of a in all of a

1893
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:41,360
Speaker 2: sport to be in the Conference champions AIG game for

1894
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:46,200
Speaker 2: football and basketball. That's kind of cool. But yeah, last,

1895
01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:48,080
Speaker 2: the last one goes to the goes to the Ducks.

1896
01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:51,040
Speaker 4: Colorado's got real talent. They've got a couple of NBA

1897
01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 4: guys on that roster.

1898
01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:57,120
Speaker 11: So they're a team that is a sneaky Sweet sixteen team,

1899
01:32:57,200 --> 01:33:01,040
Speaker 11: right right right, Yeah, they have you made two or

1900
01:33:01,040 --> 01:33:04,439
Speaker 11: three pros at the minimum, Simpson, can again you point

1901
01:33:04,439 --> 01:33:07,680
Speaker 11: guard play is super important, dude, can shoot and there

1902
01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:08,320
Speaker 11: should be the ball.

1903
01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:10,640
Speaker 2: The car does feel like a team. If they make

1904
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:13,000
Speaker 2: it to the second weekend, you're not surprised.

1905
01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:17,519
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, You've got Jalen Williams brother on Colorado where

1906
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 4: you know, you think of Jalen Williams with OKC, who's

1907
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:26,320
Speaker 4: a really good player alongside Shay Gil just Alexander. So yeah,

1908
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:28,240
Speaker 4: and it's funny too because you see his brother at

1909
01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:31,120
Speaker 4: Colorado and you're like, oh gosh, I totally can see

1910
01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:35,120
Speaker 4: him being brothers. Right. You see similarities, traits, just the

1911
01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:38,880
Speaker 4: way they're built, like the length, you know, all that

1912
01:33:38,920 --> 01:33:39,559
Speaker 4: type of stuff.

1913
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:42,680
Speaker 3: But his brother is just raw. It's just raw.

1914
01:33:42,720 --> 01:33:46,599
Speaker 4: He's young, you know, like it's like this fledgling deer,

1915
01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:49,639
Speaker 4: you know, just trying to get his legs going over there.

1916
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:52,760
Speaker 4: But Colorado has talent. So interesting to see what they

1917
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:55,960
Speaker 4: do in the tournament, what their draw is. All right,

1938
01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 4: nine minutes gone by. Not exactly an offensive barn Bernard,

1939
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:15,200
Speaker 4: just yet.

1940
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:18,680
Speaker 2: Super nice of Brown to miss every shot. I'm like

1941
01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:20,519
Speaker 2: yesterday when I had the first half under in their

1942
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:22,439
Speaker 2: game and they made every shot, So it was the

1943
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:24,400
Speaker 2: way it works, you know, just totally.

1944
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 3: I swear betting does troll you.

1945
01:35:27,160 --> 01:35:29,840
Speaker 4: You know, whatever you need that day, the next game,

1946
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:32,519
Speaker 4: it's just like, that's what I needed the game before.

1947
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:33,840
Speaker 3: What's up with that? You know?

1948
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:38,040
Speaker 2: It is? It is that way. Unlike crack Cractice wins

1949
01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:39,479
Speaker 2: all the time. So for him, it's nothing.

1950
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:43,360
Speaker 4: It's not cracklosing dot com. It's cracking. Yeah, that's right.

1951
01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 2: Plus he don't watch. It's not true though, Brian, who

1952
01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:48,880
Speaker 2: just sit here and watch IVY League games because we

1953
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:50,680
Speaker 2: put one hundred bucks on a game, you know.

1954
01:35:50,760 --> 01:35:54,280
Speaker 5: It's right. Yeah, I'm a final score guy, but I

1955
01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:56,479
Speaker 5: do watch these, of course, But but i'd like, I

1956
01:35:56,680 --> 01:35:58,400
Speaker 5: like you see the pace right now in the games

1957
01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:00,840
Speaker 5: won twenty four and a half, so under mine by

1958
01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:04,879
Speaker 5: the way I'm looking at the bet mgm odds under

1959
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:08,040
Speaker 5: a quarter opened up one, it closed one thirty seven,

1960
01:36:08,160 --> 01:36:12,040
Speaker 5: So you're right, this looks like a big underpace. You

1961
01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:13,960
Speaker 5: guys are ahead of my score for summer. You guys

1962
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:16,280
Speaker 5: eleven eight. I got eleven five, which is supposedly a

1963
01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:17,160
Speaker 5: live scoreboard.

1964
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:19,960
Speaker 3: That's why you breached betting in time outs there right?

1965
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,320
Speaker 5: Commercially Yeah, that's right. It's one hundred percent now just

1966
01:36:22,360 --> 01:36:23,680
Speaker 5: now an updated thirteen to eight.

1967
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:26,559
Speaker 2: So yeah, I had me. Now you're ahead of us.

1968
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:29,120
Speaker 2: I just made a shot before we uh see that

1969
01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:30,400
Speaker 2: on the apps. Tho, when the apps and you look

1970
01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:32,800
Speaker 2: to like live bet, the score is different than of

1971
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:34,120
Speaker 2: the time is different.

1972
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:36,760
Speaker 5: Usually the apps are pretty good, though, I'll tell you.

1973
01:36:37,760 --> 01:36:38,200
Speaker 2: That's my point.

1974
01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:40,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, the apps. So the apps are good to

1975
01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:43,479
Speaker 5: the sports betting apps, yes, because I wouldn't give you.

1976
01:36:43,720 --> 01:36:45,840
Speaker 5: I wouldn't know. Guys were to get a live score

1977
01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:48,320
Speaker 5: right now, would you go to ESPN? Would you go

1978
01:36:48,400 --> 01:36:49,639
Speaker 5: to Fox Bow? Where?

1979
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:50,599
Speaker 3: Would you a betting app?

1980
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:54,240
Speaker 5: Ye? A betting app? That's right? That yeah, good stuff.

1981
01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:57,800
Speaker 4: That cracks me up to about crack Jeff is he'll

1982
01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:00,240
Speaker 4: have five figures on a game and be like, I'm

1983
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:01,360
Speaker 4: gonna go eat some lobster.

1984
01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:02,680
Speaker 3: I'm not even watching it.

1985
01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:03,280
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

1986
01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:06,800
Speaker 5: No matter what, at the end of the day, win

1987
01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 5: or lose, she stood to eat good, don't you. That's

1988
01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:12,280
Speaker 5: right unless a lot of people they can't their appetites

1989
01:37:12,400 --> 01:37:16,400
Speaker 5: ruined by losing. That means you're betting too much, correct, which.

1990
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:18,760
Speaker 2: Is not my issue because I don't do that. So

1991
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:21,519
Speaker 2: like if I lose, I know it stinks. I don't

1992
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:25,719
Speaker 2: like it. Yeah, I can still You know about this crack.

1993
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:29,320
Speaker 4: You brought it up earlier where Terrence Shannon from Illinois

1994
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:33,040
Speaker 4: went crazy yesterday forty points career high YEP in the

1995
01:37:33,120 --> 01:37:37,200
Speaker 4: Big Ten Tournament semi final win against Nebraska, and Illinois

1996
01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:40,519
Speaker 4: was down big been a great in game play, but

1997
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:44,040
Speaker 4: they came storming back. They ended up winning by eleven points.

1998
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:47,200
Speaker 4: Scored ninety eight points in that game. So Illinois taking

1999
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:50,120
Speaker 4: on Wisconsin for the Big Ten crown today.

2000
01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:54,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, the the you know, it's funny. I want

2001
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:56,160
Speaker 5: to go back to what I said the beginning of

2002
01:37:56,200 --> 01:38:00,840
Speaker 5: the show. I just don't know about motivation on these games.

2003
01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:03,479
Speaker 5: Since these especially like these teams, they have tournament bids

2004
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 5: already locked up, you know, locked up. So I'm sure

2005
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 5: the players would like the Big Ten championship, but I

2006
01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:10,719
Speaker 5: think a lot of them looking forward to the Big Dance,

2007
01:38:10,840 --> 01:38:14,040
Speaker 5: especially uh that goes for the entire That's the reason

2008
01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:17,479
Speaker 5: why I actually like the bet. A lot of these

2009
01:38:17,640 --> 01:38:20,479
Speaker 5: first half teams talking about next week and wants to

2010
01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:22,760
Speaker 5: because a lot of these kids it's their first time

2011
01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:24,760
Speaker 5: in there. They're gonna so pumped up to be there.

2012
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:29,200
Speaker 5: Usually the talent of the stronger teams that double digit

2013
01:38:29,280 --> 01:38:33,799
Speaker 5: favorites don't show, not usually, but a long, big percentage.

2014
01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:35,760
Speaker 5: You have to pick and choose your sides here in

2015
01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:38,320
Speaker 5: that particular type of a bet. But the talent will

2016
01:38:38,360 --> 01:38:40,439
Speaker 5: show the second half. But a lot of times the

2017
01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 5: kids are so pumped up when the endorphins, motivation and stuff. So,

2018
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:46,360
Speaker 5: like I said, I'm sure these these kids would like

2019
01:38:46,439 --> 01:38:48,720
Speaker 5: the Big Ten championship, but I don't know how the

2020
01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:50,280
Speaker 5: coaching is gonna be to You know, it should be

2021
01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:52,840
Speaker 5: a good game to watch two different styles going head

2022
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:54,479
Speaker 5: to head. So we'll see what happens here.

2023
01:38:55,520 --> 01:38:57,080
Speaker 3: It's kind of go ahead, Jeff say.

2024
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:00,439
Speaker 2: I think the hardest part I have these these games

2025
01:39:00,520 --> 01:39:03,200
Speaker 2: right now at the end of the end of the

2026
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:08,760
Speaker 2: conference tournaments is when you have an underdog like Wisconsin

2027
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:15,120
Speaker 2: who beat you, who beats Purdue. Was that a one

2028
01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:17,639
Speaker 2: off game where you say, okay, well they won that game,

2029
01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:20,840
Speaker 2: and then now they're playing a better team like Illinois,

2030
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:22,720
Speaker 2: who is a top I think there are eleven or

2031
01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:28,720
Speaker 2: twelve in Ken Palm. Illinois is ten. So the good

2032
01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 2: basketball team, right do you say it ends here? You know,

2033
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:33,960
Speaker 2: like this is the end of it, right, you play

2034
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:37,280
Speaker 2: a better team and a team that now is focused

2035
01:39:37,280 --> 01:39:40,200
Speaker 2: because you just beat Produce. So they're like eyes on Wisconsin?

2036
01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:43,240
Speaker 2: Or does it end like the Florida Alburn game?

2037
01:39:43,280 --> 01:39:43,400
Speaker 5: Right?

2038
01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:45,840
Speaker 2: Like does it Florida was twenty one to win the

2039
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:48,559
Speaker 2: SEC tournament? Does it end today? Does Alburn play well enough?

2040
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:50,760
Speaker 2: That's the hardest part I have about this because you

2041
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:52,559
Speaker 2: can make the argument either way, right, like, just ride

2042
01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:56,240
Speaker 2: the hot team right Wisconsin, ride Temple, ride Florida, ride

2043
01:39:56,280 --> 01:40:01,680
Speaker 2: Oregon yesterday? Brown and Brown who's won seven in a row?

2044
01:40:01,840 --> 01:40:04,120
Speaker 2: Ride Brown? Or do you say does it end? Does

2045
01:40:04,160 --> 01:40:06,760
Speaker 2: it end? In his final game? And so to me,

2046
01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:09,000
Speaker 2: that's the hardest part about betting conference tournament, even even

2047
01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:11,800
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament. In times we get to the lead eight

2048
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:13,120
Speaker 2: the team is not supposed to be there, is it?

2049
01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:13,920
Speaker 2: Like is the time up?

2050
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:14,120
Speaker 5: Now?

2051
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:16,240
Speaker 2: Is this the time when it ends? Saint Peter's was

2052
01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:19,000
Speaker 2: that way? Eventually the time was up? I than Saint Peter's.

2053
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:21,640
Speaker 2: Who was it? Maybe it was someone else whatever, But

2054
01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:23,519
Speaker 2: like you're like, Okay, this is the game where it ends.

2055
01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:25,320
Speaker 2: And I think North Carolina like smoked him or something.

2056
01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:27,120
Speaker 2: It was the end of it. That's the hardest part

2057
01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:27,800
Speaker 2: about these games.

2058
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:28,519
Speaker 5: No, I hear you.

2059
01:40:28,680 --> 01:40:31,880
Speaker 4: It's the lesser team that's just on a heater. You know,

2060
01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:35,840
Speaker 4: does it continue or does the dream die. I'll tell

2061
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:39,320
Speaker 4: you this about Wisconsin, though. It's weird watching the game

2062
01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:43,439
Speaker 4: yesterday against Purdue. AJ Store had a couple of buckets

2063
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:46,000
Speaker 4: where you're like, wow, yeah, and then you look at

2064
01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:48,280
Speaker 4: his box score and it's like, he scored twenty points

2065
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 4: on twenty three shots. Is actually pretty inefficient. But I

2066
01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:55,160
Speaker 4: don't know what it was about watching him. It's like

2067
01:40:55,800 --> 01:40:59,680
Speaker 4: watching the game did more justice than the box score did.

2068
01:40:59,840 --> 01:41:01,240
Speaker 3: I don't know how to explain that.

2069
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:05,640
Speaker 4: But he's certainly someone to watch for Wisconsin against Illinois.

2070
01:41:05,640 --> 01:41:06,160
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this.

2071
01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:11,320
Speaker 4: If Aj Storr isn't scoring a lot, I just don't

2072
01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:15,000
Speaker 4: see how Wisconsin matches points with Illinois. I just don't

2073
01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:15,280
Speaker 4: see it.

2074
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:15,599
Speaker 3: Today.

2075
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:18,160
Speaker 4: Illinois a better basketball team, and you want to talk

2076
01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:20,880
Speaker 4: about being on a heater. We just mentioned Terrence Shannon

2077
01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:24,960
Speaker 4: with forty points yesterday. He was sensational, So I just

2078
01:41:25,040 --> 01:41:28,200
Speaker 4: don't think that. I don't think Wisconsin unless Store is

2079
01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:31,960
Speaker 4: really really strong, I don't see how he matches points.

2080
01:41:32,120 --> 01:41:35,200
Speaker 4: I'll tell you this though we talked about Purdue. You know,

2081
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:38,680
Speaker 4: I see all their advantages.

2082
01:41:38,840 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 3: I get it.

2083
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 4: As we look forward to the Big Dance, Zachy and

2084
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:46,320
Speaker 4: he's gonna win the Wooden Award again. Landslide win two

2085
01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:50,400
Speaker 4: straight years. Their guard play. Braden Smith is better, he's

2086
01:41:50,439 --> 01:41:53,240
Speaker 4: a freshman last year. Fletcher Lawyer is better, he's a

2087
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:58,559
Speaker 4: freshman last year. But I just I can't trust this team.

2088
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:01,840
Speaker 4: There's something about Matt Pain in the tournament, and I

2089
01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 4: don't expect them to go on some Virginia type revenge tour.

2090
01:42:06,680 --> 01:42:09,400
Speaker 4: In the Big Dance, they barely beat Sparti, they lost

2091
01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:12,040
Speaker 4: to Wisconsin. I just I can't trust Purdue.

2092
01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:17,080
Speaker 2: So I have a question about about that. So is

2093
01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:18,760
Speaker 2: it a style of play thing when you when you

2094
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:24,880
Speaker 2: watch them play, you know, they don't appear and this

2095
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:26,760
Speaker 2: isn't maybe the wrong way to say it, but but

2096
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:29,960
Speaker 2: credited wrong, Brian, Like, they don't appear to be like

2097
01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:33,160
Speaker 2: that very explosive, if that makes sense, you know what

2098
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:35,439
Speaker 2: I mean. And I feel like when you watch a

2099
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:38,400
Speaker 2: lot of teams end up winning or having deep runs,

2100
01:42:38,479 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 2: like there's a part even if they're like a defensive

2101
01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:44,400
Speaker 2: minded team, there's a part of them that have very

2102
01:42:44,479 --> 01:42:48,680
Speaker 2: explosive movers and athletes, and like you can you can

2103
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:53,960
Speaker 2: visibly see them out athlete other teams and with pretty

2104
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:57,160
Speaker 2: I don't feel when I watch them that they that

2105
01:42:57,360 --> 01:43:00,599
Speaker 2: same feeling of like they're out athleting the other team

2106
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:05,000
Speaker 2: that better players. Zach Edy is huge, obviously, but even then,

2107
01:43:05,160 --> 01:43:09,240
Speaker 2: like he's not an NBA talent. I was shocked if

2108
01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 2: he really made a team for many years the NBA.

2109
01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:16,680
Speaker 2: So you have just like a good college player, two

2110
01:43:16,800 --> 01:43:19,599
Speaker 2: time Player of the Year, but not really even an

2111
01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:22,680
Speaker 2: NBA guy impact Lambika and just I think those are

2112
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:25,679
Speaker 2: the reasons why we look at Purdue and say, great

2113
01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:31,200
Speaker 2: college team, great college players, but like not the NBA

2114
01:43:31,439 --> 01:43:34,200
Speaker 2: type talents, not the explosive athletes that we see on

2115
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:37,759
Speaker 2: some of these other teams that have deep tournament runs.

2116
01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:41,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear you on that. It's Purdue's weird.

2117
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:45,880
Speaker 4: Where Mike ripe with them is they don't look to push,

2118
01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:48,280
Speaker 4: they don't push the pace. They settle for a half

2119
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:51,800
Speaker 4: court offense. Far This is why yeah, and listen, Zach

2120
01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:53,639
Speaker 4: eats their best player. I get you want to play

2121
01:43:53,720 --> 01:43:56,320
Speaker 4: through him, but I think there are times in games

2122
01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:59,960
Speaker 4: where against Wisconsin yesterday, and certainly in the regular season,

2123
01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:03,920
Speaker 4: and they're just content not pushing the pace. And it's like, guys, run,

2124
01:44:04,360 --> 01:44:07,960
Speaker 4: Lance Jones is an athlete. They got him as a

2125
01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:11,120
Speaker 4: transfer and he's made an impact for sure. Get out

2126
01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:13,479
Speaker 4: and run. Braden Smith can run. Try to find some

2127
01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:17,320
Speaker 4: buckets in transition. If nothing's there, fine play through Eadie.

2128
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:19,080
Speaker 4: But I think there are a lot of times where

2129
01:44:19,439 --> 01:44:22,639
Speaker 4: they let their opponent Dick take pace instead of Hey,

2130
01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:25,640
Speaker 4: where's we're gonna inflict our pace on you?

2131
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:27,439
Speaker 3: And I think they let the other guys.

2132
01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 5: This is pretty much the same number one seed team

2133
01:44:31,160 --> 01:44:34,439
Speaker 5: that lost to Fairly they could the sixteenth that fairly

2134
01:44:34,479 --> 01:44:38,120
Speaker 5: di couets in the last season. But however, I can

2135
01:44:38,320 --> 01:44:40,799
Speaker 5: really see no reason why they can't repeat with Virginia

2136
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:42,920
Speaker 5: did in twenty nineteen when they came back from the

2137
01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:49,920
Speaker 5: Who did they lose like Maryland Baltimore County, UMBC. Yeah so,

2138
01:44:50,120 --> 01:44:52,000
Speaker 5: but like you guys said, they have the most dominant

2139
01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:54,200
Speaker 5: player in college basketball seven foot four by the way,

2140
01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:58,479
Speaker 5: Zach Edy, two time in college Basketball Player of the Year.

2141
01:44:58,560 --> 01:45:01,640
Speaker 5: So what I think I gotta go buy what my

2142
01:45:01,920 --> 01:45:05,760
Speaker 5: compadres think that are in the professional gambling world and

2143
01:45:05,840 --> 01:45:10,080
Speaker 5: believe it or not. They like Purdue. There's uh there

2144
01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:12,519
Speaker 5: there's a group that that was a winning sports bet

2145
01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:15,519
Speaker 5: better you had a winning college basketball sports betting Uh

2146
01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:18,200
Speaker 5: syndicate one of the two or three that I know of,

2147
01:45:18,479 --> 01:45:21,160
Speaker 5: and uh, they like Purdue to to win it all.

2148
01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:24,600
Speaker 5: But they they like Purdue, but they don't like the

2149
01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:26,120
Speaker 5: seven to one odds. So you have to you know,

2150
01:45:26,200 --> 01:45:27,880
Speaker 5: like I said, you always shop around or even do

2151
01:45:27,960 --> 01:45:30,640
Speaker 5: a moneyline parlay or something and you could get a

2152
01:45:30,840 --> 01:45:31,559
Speaker 5: better ROI.

2153
01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:35,760
Speaker 4: So that was the crazy thing though, is uh last

2154
01:45:35,840 --> 01:45:39,920
Speaker 4: year against Fairley Dickinson, they Fairly Dickinson was the shortest

2155
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:45,879
Speaker 4: team in college basketball, and Zach Eady, who is a giant.

2156
01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:49,960
Speaker 3: It's like they didn't play through EATI it's they.

2157
01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:51,920
Speaker 2: Had two shots the second half something. Yeah, it's an

2158
01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:52,760
Speaker 2: insane number like that.

2159
01:45:53,080 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 3: How does that happen?

2160
01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 2: But that's sort of like my point, right, like you

2161
01:45:56,280 --> 01:45:59,880
Speaker 2: have this tiny, little explosive team that just ran around

2162
01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:04,479
Speaker 2: to produce like it just like just like it, just

2163
01:46:04,560 --> 01:46:05,680
Speaker 2: that that image sort of like.

2164
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:09,640
Speaker 4: Haunts me, like, yeah, me too, I'm right there with you.

2165
01:46:09,800 --> 01:46:12,920
Speaker 4: But that's one of those teams. I can't trust him.

2166
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:14,880
Speaker 4: I can't have blind faith. I got to see it

2167
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:17,360
Speaker 4: to believe in them, and maybe they'll prove me wrong

2168
01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:19,280
Speaker 4: in the tournament. They have the talent to do it,

2169
01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:22,479
Speaker 4: but I just see them getting in their own way

2170
01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:25,479
Speaker 4: far too often. Hey, someone who doesn't get in his

2171
01:46:25,640 --> 01:46:29,400
Speaker 4: own way or our way at all is Isaac loohen Kron.

2172
01:46:29,560 --> 01:46:32,599
Speaker 4: He only makes things better, and he's got some information

2173
01:46:32,760 --> 01:46:34,679
Speaker 4: for us. I low what is going on here.

2174
01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:35,040
Speaker 5: Bud.

2175
01:46:38,640 --> 01:46:41,320
Speaker 10: Well for the only time, Let's face it all year.

2176
01:46:41,400 --> 01:46:44,760
Speaker 10: Our top story the IVY League and the championship game,

2177
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:49,120
Speaker 10: with Yale holding a twenty to seventeen lead over Brown

2178
01:46:49,200 --> 01:46:51,960
Speaker 10: with just under five minutes left to play in the

2179
01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:56,080
Speaker 10: first half. Leading score of the ballgame for Yale is

2180
01:46:56,200 --> 01:47:01,599
Speaker 10: guard August Mahoney, and in true IVY League fashion, when

2181
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:05,519
Speaker 10: he's not playing basketball, mister Mahoney spends his time as

2182
01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:11,960
Speaker 10: an intern for a private equity firm that spells IVY

2183
01:47:12,080 --> 01:47:15,880
Speaker 10: League if nothing else. On Saturday night, in college basketball

2184
01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:18,639
Speaker 10: Championship Game action and the Big Twelve title Game, seventh

2185
01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:22,240
Speaker 10: ranked Iowa State blew out number one Houston sixty nine

2186
01:47:22,280 --> 01:47:25,320
Speaker 10: to forty one. Earlier this week, Long Beach State fired

2187
01:47:25,360 --> 01:47:29,439
Speaker 10: its longtime head coach Dan Munson on Monday, after seventeen seasons,

2188
01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:31,559
Speaker 10: but they allowed to coach. They allowed him to coach

2189
01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:35,080
Speaker 10: in this week's Big West Conference Tournament, and when don't

2190
01:47:35,120 --> 01:47:35,519
Speaker 10: you know it.

2191
01:47:35,840 --> 01:47:38,200
Speaker 7: Long Beach State won the whole thing.

2192
01:47:38,360 --> 01:47:41,360
Speaker 10: They beat UC Davis in the final last night, seventy

2193
01:47:41,439 --> 01:47:45,439
Speaker 10: four to seventy to advance to the NCAA Tournament. Saturday

2194
01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:52,600
Speaker 10: night's other conference tournament championship game winners NC State, Western Kentucky, Oregon, Grambling,

2195
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:56,320
Speaker 10: and Grand Canyon. And finally, in the NBA, ESPN has

2196
01:47:56,439 --> 01:48:00,360
Speaker 10: just reported that Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokoumpo will not

2197
01:48:00,560 --> 01:48:04,000
Speaker 10: play today against the Phoenix Suns because of left hamstring soreness.

2198
01:48:04,320 --> 01:48:06,200
Speaker 7: Tip Off coming up at the top of the hour,

2199
01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:07,080
Speaker 7: Fellas back to you.

2200
01:48:07,840 --> 01:48:08,439
Speaker 3: Thank you Ilo.

2201
01:48:08,600 --> 01:48:11,559
Speaker 4: It is Fox Sports Radios Countdown to tip Off, presented

2202
01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:12,960
Speaker 4: by Bett MGM.

2203
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:16,720
Speaker 3: You know, we were talking about the.

2204
01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:20,839
Speaker 4: Biggest football story briefly, which is Justin Fields getting traded

2205
01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:25,360
Speaker 4: to the Steelers. And I think it's interesting because it's

2206
01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:29,160
Speaker 4: not just a football thing. The Bear said they wanted

2207
01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:32,240
Speaker 4: to do right by Justin Fields, which is just an

2208
01:48:32,360 --> 01:48:35,560
Speaker 4: interesting concept right where they could have held on to

2209
01:48:35,800 --> 01:48:37,479
Speaker 4: him a little bit longer.

2210
01:48:37,960 --> 01:48:40,599
Speaker 3: Maybe there's an injury in training CAB.

2211
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:43,280
Speaker 4: It opens the door you can get more for justin Fields.

2212
01:48:43,320 --> 01:48:45,000
Speaker 4: But they're like, you know what, let's just get him on.

2213
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:48,680
Speaker 4: We'll trade him for a sixth round draft pick. What

2214
01:48:48,760 --> 01:48:51,640
Speaker 4: do you think, whether it's basketball football, what do you

2215
01:48:51,640 --> 01:48:54,439
Speaker 4: think about the concept of doing right by the player

2216
01:48:54,680 --> 01:48:57,240
Speaker 4: before you do right for your own organization.

2217
01:48:57,720 --> 01:49:01,240
Speaker 2: That's just a bunch of nonsense. I saw people saying

2218
01:49:01,280 --> 01:49:03,600
Speaker 2: that on the internet, like, well, Pole said he do

2219
01:49:03,760 --> 01:49:07,600
Speaker 2: right by him. That's not Pole's job. Poole's job is

2220
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:10,080
Speaker 2: to do right for his for his team. Yes, that's

2221
01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:12,160
Speaker 2: not doing right for Fields. I mean, I guess if

2222
01:49:12,200 --> 01:49:15,400
Speaker 2: you look at so Sam Howe was traded from the

2223
01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:19,400
Speaker 2: Commanders to the Seahawks. Desi Rider was traded from the

2224
01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:23,200
Speaker 2: Falcons to the Cardinals. Mac Jones was traded from the

2225
01:49:23,280 --> 01:49:26,400
Speaker 2: Patriots to the Jacksonville Jaguars. All three of those are

2226
01:49:27,200 --> 01:49:33,240
Speaker 2: traded for backup spots, correct, So there's nowhere for Fields

2227
01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:35,000
Speaker 2: to really go to be a starter. Those have already

2228
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 2: been taken up. So he's going to Pittsburgh to be

2229
01:49:38,040 --> 01:49:40,439
Speaker 2: a backup. And if you look at it as far

2230
01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:43,200
Speaker 2: as like where one of those guys has the easiest

2231
01:49:43,280 --> 01:49:46,800
Speaker 2: chance to play. It's probably Fields in Pittsburgh, right with

2232
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:50,439
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson being ahead of him. Mac Jones is not

2233
01:49:50,479 --> 01:49:54,960
Speaker 2: playing over over Lawrence, you know, Riers not playing over

2234
01:49:55,240 --> 01:49:58,880
Speaker 2: over Murray, and and How's not playing over Genos. But

2235
01:49:58,880 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 2: even though I could see Geno maybe if he has

2236
01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:04,759
Speaker 2: a bad year at some points playing the samehow Russell

2237
01:50:04,760 --> 01:50:07,960
Speaker 2: Wilson's that guy right where if Wilson plays poorly, Field's

2238
01:50:07,960 --> 01:50:12,439
Speaker 2: gonna come in. I will cost you. Though Talman's been

2239
01:50:12,520 --> 01:50:15,640
Speaker 2: very clear about this, Russell Wilson is his starter. There

2240
01:50:15,720 --> 01:50:17,519
Speaker 2: is not a lot of practice time anymore in the NFL,

2241
01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:21,840
Speaker 2: so there's no competition. Like people keep saying this idea

2242
01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:24,720
Speaker 2: of like Fields can compete, It's not a competition. It's

2243
01:50:24,880 --> 01:50:26,639
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson has the job.

2244
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:26,880
Speaker 9: Now.

2245
01:50:27,920 --> 01:50:29,920
Speaker 2: If he plays bad enough, it will be Field's job.

2246
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:32,160
Speaker 2: It's not that Fields is gonna like beat out Russell

2247
01:50:32,160 --> 01:50:34,519
Speaker 2: Wilson in competition. It's up to Russell Wilson. If he

2248
01:50:34,600 --> 01:50:38,200
Speaker 2: plays poorly in training camp, Fields will start. But the

2249
01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:40,120
Speaker 2: problem is there's not even enough time to play bad

2250
01:50:40,160 --> 01:50:43,320
Speaker 2: in training camp. You practice like twelve times in pads,

2251
01:50:43,760 --> 01:50:47,719
Speaker 2: you play three preseason games. He's gonna get fifty snaps

2252
01:50:47,760 --> 01:50:49,680
Speaker 2: in the preseason. You have no idea if he's good

2253
01:50:49,760 --> 01:50:53,760
Speaker 2: or bad in that time. So Fields is banking on

2254
01:50:54,479 --> 01:50:57,040
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson being bad for two months in the rest

2255
01:50:57,120 --> 01:51:00,160
Speaker 2: season and then he gets to play. And by doing right,

2256
01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:01,320
Speaker 2: I mean he gets you said, them to the best

2257
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:03,760
Speaker 2: place to be a backup, right if you consider where

2258
01:51:03,880 --> 01:51:06,200
Speaker 2: where teams that you know where these trades have happened.

2259
01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:09,759
Speaker 2: But Ryan Pole's jobs to do right for his own organization,

2260
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:11,960
Speaker 2: and that's that's drafted. Kayleb Williams. I like it, by

2261
01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:14,880
Speaker 2: the way, I like what the Bears have done. H

2262
01:51:15,080 --> 01:51:18,840
Speaker 2: keenan Allen, great pickup. I love it. They they brought

2263
01:51:18,880 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 2: back Jalen Johnson, who admitted a press conference to having

2264
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:27,519
Speaker 2: a interesting backstory there for a little bit. I like

2265
01:51:27,560 --> 01:51:30,000
Speaker 2: what they've done. The Bears have have set themselves up

2266
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:32,919
Speaker 2: for success. Bring in Kayleb Williams.

2267
01:51:34,280 --> 01:51:36,240
Speaker 5: What did you guys think about we haven't talked about.

2268
01:51:36,280 --> 01:51:38,800
Speaker 5: What do you guys think about the Cousins trade? Uh,

2269
01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:41,800
Speaker 5: what do you think about Minnesota's chances now? With their Yeah,

2270
01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:45,640
Speaker 5: I guess Doob's going to be there there? Donald Right,

2271
01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:48,840
Speaker 5: That's right, that's right, Donald Donald. They can dB so

2272
01:51:49,240 --> 01:51:50,720
Speaker 5: let me ask you, what do you think about them

2273
01:51:50,760 --> 01:51:52,919
Speaker 5: and what do you think about the Falcons?

2274
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:55,360
Speaker 4: Well, I love what it does for the Falcons offense.

2275
01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:58,680
Speaker 4: We're finally going to understand what Kyle Pitts is capable of,

2276
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:01,720
Speaker 4: what Drake London is capable of. But you also have

2277
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:05,320
Speaker 4: Jehan Robinson, you have all those top ten offensive guys,

2278
01:52:05,640 --> 01:52:08,360
Speaker 4: and they've added to it, right, They've added a couple

2279
01:52:08,439 --> 01:52:10,800
Speaker 4: other guys to the mix, not just Cousins. They go

2280
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:14,160
Speaker 4: out and they get Darnell Mooney from the Bears. I'm

2281
01:52:14,200 --> 01:52:16,160
Speaker 4: curious to see what he does. It's not like he

2282
01:52:16,280 --> 01:52:20,320
Speaker 4: had a fair shot with Justin Fields as his quarterback.

2283
01:52:20,400 --> 01:52:24,160
Speaker 4: But you go out and you get DeAndre Swift. Well,

2284
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:26,200
Speaker 4: I'm sorry that's where the Bears went with him. But

2285
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:30,000
Speaker 4: with Atlanta, you got, yeah, Rondelle Moore out of Arizona.

2286
01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:34,080
Speaker 4: So you get a couple of offensive weapons beyond Kirk

2287
01:52:34,160 --> 01:52:36,560
Speaker 4: Cousins to go along with all the other guys that

2288
01:52:36,680 --> 01:52:39,200
Speaker 4: you had. So that offense, I'm really excited to see

2289
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:41,719
Speaker 4: what they do. But the main takeaway is we're gonna

2290
01:52:41,800 --> 01:52:44,360
Speaker 4: know exactly what their top ten guys are capable of

2291
01:52:44,439 --> 01:52:46,880
Speaker 4: because they have a real quarterback now sure.

2292
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:49,360
Speaker 2: That's one of the two takeaways I had about the

2293
01:52:49,439 --> 01:52:51,880
Speaker 2: trade is that they can evaluate those young players. Now

2294
01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:55,200
Speaker 2: you ideally evaluate them and have an idea of their

2295
01:52:55,280 --> 01:52:59,759
Speaker 2: long term future. But when we talk about the draft

2296
01:53:00,200 --> 01:53:03,760
Speaker 2: for agency, how teams are shaped, you have to do

2297
01:53:03,840 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 2: it around the expectation of what you think the team

2298
01:53:07,120 --> 01:53:11,000
Speaker 2: feels they are. Okay, So for example, the Chiefs, the Eagles,

2299
01:53:11,120 --> 01:53:13,439
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers, the Bills, you know, the Bengals,

2300
01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:16,799
Speaker 2: like they're making moves based off of we're super Bowl contender,

2301
01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:19,280
Speaker 2: Like we have to make moves to get ourselves ready

2302
01:53:19,280 --> 01:53:21,920
Speaker 2: to play in that in the super Bowl. Other teams

2303
01:53:21,920 --> 01:53:24,200
Speaker 2: are like, we're cutting everyone because we're gonna stink for

2304
01:53:24,280 --> 01:53:27,000
Speaker 2: the season. Like there, that's our expectation. We're gonna be

2305
01:53:27,040 --> 01:53:29,960
Speaker 2: bad this season. Then you have the Falcons, Okay, have

2306
01:53:30,120 --> 01:53:32,800
Speaker 2: not been the playoffs is twenty seventeen. They look at

2307
01:53:32,800 --> 01:53:36,720
Speaker 2: their division and say, adding Cousins makes us a playoff team.

2308
01:53:37,200 --> 01:53:39,400
Speaker 2: That's what we want. That's what we want. Stability and

2309
01:53:39,479 --> 01:53:41,559
Speaker 2: a playoff team. We're not gonna win a super Bowl

2310
01:53:41,720 --> 01:53:43,879
Speaker 2: with Cousins, probably, but in their mind they think themselves

2311
01:53:44,320 --> 01:53:46,160
Speaker 2: win division, get a home playoff game, you win that

2312
01:53:46,200 --> 01:53:48,760
Speaker 2: home playoff game. You're one step closer, right. Weird things

2313
01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:50,920
Speaker 2: can happen, and more teams, by the way, have one.

2314
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:54,080
Speaker 2: We have gone the Super Bowl. The path on the road,

2315
01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:55,680
Speaker 2: which used to never happen to Tom Brady did it

2316
01:53:55,720 --> 01:53:58,120
Speaker 2: with the Bucks. The Chiefs just did it. It can happen.

2317
01:53:58,400 --> 01:54:01,519
Speaker 2: See expectations for the Falons are, let's competent quarterback. And

2318
01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:03,800
Speaker 2: I think that's what they're doing with Cousins. So it's

2319
01:54:03,840 --> 01:54:05,840
Speaker 2: not they're only win the Super Bowl with Cousins, but

2320
01:54:05,880 --> 01:54:07,799
Speaker 2: they're gonna make the playoffs, they're gonna win a division.

2321
01:54:09,080 --> 01:54:10,719
Speaker 2: There are plus I think I just on this morning

2322
01:54:10,760 --> 01:54:16,400
Speaker 2: there plus one hundred there when there I would not

2323
01:54:16,479 --> 01:54:19,519
Speaker 2: ever tell anyone to make that wager. One wager I

2324
01:54:19,600 --> 01:54:22,120
Speaker 2: did see, by the way, on on Ben MGM this morning,

2325
01:54:23,360 --> 01:54:25,200
Speaker 2: was the Chiefs are minus two hundred to win the

2326
01:54:25,200 --> 01:54:27,360
Speaker 2: AFC West. That feels very light.

2327
01:54:28,479 --> 01:54:29,200
Speaker 5: Who's by the way.

2328
01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:32,400
Speaker 4: I can't help you, but think when you're talking about

2329
01:54:32,520 --> 01:54:33,400
Speaker 4: futures wagers.

2330
01:54:33,480 --> 01:54:34,360
Speaker 3: It just dawned on me.

2331
01:54:34,840 --> 01:54:38,600
Speaker 4: Remember when Justin Fields he was favored to go to

2332
01:54:38,680 --> 01:54:42,360
Speaker 4: the Steelers early on. That was the team that jumped

2333
01:54:42,400 --> 01:54:47,240
Speaker 4: out and he eventually got there. But Tomlin's like, he's

2334
01:54:47,320 --> 01:54:51,720
Speaker 4: not competing, only the backup. Like, it's funny that your wager,

2335
01:54:51,800 --> 01:54:53,920
Speaker 4: if you went in on that, you got there. But

2336
01:54:54,040 --> 01:54:56,960
Speaker 4: it's it's not where you thought it would end up.

2337
01:54:57,160 --> 01:54:59,920
Speaker 2: No, isn't isn't Chiefs minus minus two hundred to win

2338
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:02,200
Speaker 2: the vision A little bit cheap, guys. I mean the

2339
01:55:02,360 --> 01:55:06,080
Speaker 2: Chargers have no wide receivers and they're old on defense,

2340
01:55:06,920 --> 01:55:09,440
Speaker 2: and Apple gets the cap. The Raiders aren't going within

2341
01:55:09,480 --> 01:55:11,080
Speaker 2: the division. The Broncs have a quarterback, right.

2342
01:55:11,160 --> 01:55:11,720
Speaker 5: That is cheap.

2343
01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:13,360
Speaker 3: You're right of a point that is cheap.

2344
01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:16,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, not bad right there, I'll say real fast though.

2345
01:55:16,960 --> 01:55:20,680
Speaker 4: It's funny when you get into these debates. I'm sure

2346
01:55:20,720 --> 01:55:22,840
Speaker 4: you guys are the same way. Your route to be

2347
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:26,720
Speaker 4: right for anyone who you were debating with that said

2348
01:55:26,920 --> 01:55:29,959
Speaker 4: the Bears should keep Justin Fields, don't draft Caleb Williams.

2349
01:55:30,720 --> 01:55:33,160
Speaker 4: It played out about as badly as it could have

2350
01:55:33,840 --> 01:55:37,840
Speaker 4: for anyone arguing for Fields in Chicago, where they traded

2351
01:55:37,920 --> 01:55:40,320
Speaker 4: him for a sixth round pick, and his new team,

2352
01:55:40,480 --> 01:55:44,839
Speaker 4: the Steelers, said he's not even competing yep with Russell Wilson.

2353
01:55:45,160 --> 01:55:48,320
Speaker 4: That's that's the definition of an l right there.

2354
01:55:48,600 --> 01:55:50,600
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just can't argue with those guys. They did,

2355
01:55:50,640 --> 01:55:53,920
Speaker 2: they just they're just it's just what the fields thing.

2356
01:55:54,000 --> 01:55:56,720
Speaker 2: I just I don't get it. I understand that we

2357
01:55:56,880 --> 01:55:59,320
Speaker 2: want to hope for the best for every player of

2358
01:55:59,400 --> 01:56:02,360
Speaker 2: all time, and I don't know what about his play

2359
01:56:03,600 --> 01:56:06,560
Speaker 2: makes you think he's going to be anything sort of

2360
01:56:06,600 --> 01:56:07,200
Speaker 2: more than a career.

2361
01:56:07,240 --> 01:56:10,320
Speaker 4: Backup from now, separate the highlights from the norm. He

2362
01:56:10,440 --> 01:56:14,360
Speaker 4: produced some insane highlights. The norm was he's been a

2363
01:56:14,400 --> 01:56:16,800
Speaker 4: bad passer for three years. Correct, you got to separate

2364
01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:19,640
Speaker 4: the two. Ay Shortly after the show, our podcast will

2390
01:57:34,320 --> 01:57:35,960
Speaker 3: all right, Crack, What are you thinking today?

2391
01:57:36,040 --> 01:57:36,160
Speaker 5: Man?

2392
01:57:36,240 --> 01:57:36,720
Speaker 8: What do you like?

2393
01:57:37,080 --> 01:57:38,680
Speaker 5: Not a lot of stuff to chew it to choose

2394
01:57:38,680 --> 01:57:40,440
Speaker 5: from today. I'm gonna stick with my Temple. It's the

2395
01:57:40,480 --> 01:57:43,080
Speaker 5: only game I really bet besides a few props, so

2396
01:57:43,200 --> 01:57:47,640
Speaker 5: Temple plus the seven points for uab Hopefully they stick

2397
01:57:47,680 --> 01:57:50,080
Speaker 5: around there and cover the game. May even went out

2398
01:57:50,120 --> 01:57:51,360
Speaker 5: right right.

2399
01:57:51,880 --> 01:57:57,960
Speaker 2: I will take Auburn minus believe it's five now to

2400
01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:02,160
Speaker 2: beat Florida today and get the job done five and

2401
01:58:02,200 --> 01:58:05,120
Speaker 2: a half right now to beat Florida today and you

2402
01:58:05,160 --> 01:58:07,440
Speaker 2: get the job done in a SSG gentry.

2403
01:58:07,200 --> 01:58:11,080
Speaker 4: Jam those Temple black socks, hun black socks, the black rights?

2404
01:58:11,160 --> 01:58:11,480
Speaker 5: Correct?

2405
01:58:12,080 --> 01:58:13,360
Speaker 2: What do you crack? What do you what do you

2406
01:58:13,440 --> 01:58:15,200
Speaker 2: make of that? Quickly it went al must time you

2407
01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:15,680
Speaker 2: make a SI.

2408
01:58:16,200 --> 01:58:20,080
Speaker 5: Just listen. They're doing an investigation. Something comes out comes out.

2409
01:58:20,120 --> 01:58:22,640
Speaker 5: We'll see. I think they're playing good right now, so

2410
01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:23,680
Speaker 5: let's see what happens.

2411
01:58:24,120 --> 01:58:27,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's uh if you don't know, crazy line movement

2412
01:58:27,400 --> 01:58:31,400
Speaker 4: for some of Temple's games earlier this season and raise

2413
01:58:31,480 --> 01:58:35,760
Speaker 4: some major red flags about hey, is there anything nefarious

2414
01:58:35,840 --> 01:58:38,400
Speaker 4: going on here? So that's the backdrop. But nice way

2415
01:58:38,440 --> 01:58:40,880
Speaker 4: against Florida Atlantic. They were thirteen and a half point

2416
01:58:41,040 --> 01:58:42,600
Speaker 4: docs and they won outright.

2417
01:58:43,440 --> 01:58:44,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, Crag, you'd be the judge.

2418
01:58:44,920 --> 01:58:46,080
Speaker 5: Did I move the line?

2419
01:58:46,680 --> 01:58:49,520
Speaker 4: I'm looking at the Florida Auburn total. It's down to

2420
01:58:49,640 --> 01:58:51,160
Speaker 4: one fifty seven and a half.

2421
01:58:51,560 --> 01:58:55,520
Speaker 5: So is that was that me on matter from Wine Radio?

2422
01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:56,440
Speaker 2: Probably not.

2423
01:58:57,280 --> 01:59:02,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Jeni Broom, very good forward for Auburn.

2424
01:59:02,400 --> 01:59:05,240
Speaker 4: Florida is just allergic to playing good defense. I'm gonna

2425
01:59:05,240 --> 01:59:08,680
Speaker 4: take Broom over sixteen and a half points in the

2426
01:59:09,040 --> 01:59:12,680
Speaker 4: SEC title game. So that's what I'm rolling with. We

2427
01:59:12,760 --> 01:59:14,840
Speaker 4: got more picks to make, we got Crack, Let's do this.

2428
01:59:17,040 --> 01:59:19,160
Speaker 1: This is the best play of the day.

2429
01:59:20,640 --> 01:59:21,880
Speaker 3: All right, Crack, what are you thinking?

2430
01:59:21,960 --> 01:59:22,080
Speaker 8: Man?

2431
01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:24,720
Speaker 5: Well, listen, guys, I'm gonna give this out for next week.

2432
01:59:25,480 --> 01:59:28,160
Speaker 5: There's some strategy the first half line to pure number

2433
01:59:28,640 --> 01:59:31,240
Speaker 5: more than a few reasons. But first and foremos, there's

2434
01:59:31,280 --> 01:59:33,880
Speaker 5: not that garbage fouling, desperate fouling at the end. So

2435
01:59:34,040 --> 01:59:37,800
Speaker 5: I would look for these teams in the Big Dance again,

2436
01:59:37,880 --> 01:59:40,760
Speaker 5: the lower seeds, maybe to keep keeping the game there

2437
01:59:40,840 --> 01:59:42,760
Speaker 5: the first half of the games. My second tip for

2438
01:59:43,240 --> 01:59:46,440
Speaker 5: next week is look at the tighter totals in the

2439
01:59:46,560 --> 01:59:50,680
Speaker 5: first half. Lots of these totals. Historically I've been going under.

2440
01:59:51,040 --> 01:59:54,520
Speaker 5: Look for tighter games to be played, which means less

2441
01:59:54,560 --> 01:59:55,880
Speaker 5: points in the first half.

2442
01:59:56,800 --> 01:59:59,080
Speaker 3: You think early on Crack, you bet more first halfs

2443
01:59:59,120 --> 01:59:59,880
Speaker 3: than full games.

2444
02:00:00,400 --> 02:00:04,240
Speaker 5: Definitely, definitely, yeah, definitely bet more for first half than

2445
02:00:04,280 --> 02:00:06,360
Speaker 5: full games. And again the real reason is a lot

2446
02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:08,360
Speaker 5: of the garbage fouling at the end. You know how

2447
02:00:08,400 --> 02:00:10,760
Speaker 5: many times you had thirty nine minutes and then lose

2448
02:00:10,760 --> 02:00:11,480
Speaker 5: at the end, I.

2449
02:00:11,640 --> 02:00:13,840
Speaker 4: Know nothing worse than an under for the full game,

2450
02:00:13,920 --> 02:00:16,160
Speaker 4: and they play the foul game man. But hey, glad
