I watch almost every one of their games. 149 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 6: I watched the game last night as well. Obviously gambling 150 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 6: plays a role, and I think in some of that 151 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 6: as well. By the way I bet that I crack. 152 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 6: I cannot give you the numbers us. I guess I 153 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 6: could go look back and do individual games. But the 154 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 6: opposing big, big woman like center forward against the Fever 155 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 6: goes over their point total like seventy percent of games. 156 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: It is remark. 157 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 6: I've been betting all season long. Last night, Hamby went over, 158 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 6: Wilson went over the game before the Feast of Collier 159 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 6: did not go over because the Links said, the worst 160 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 6: shooting night in the entire season. So that's the thing, right, 161 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 6: you have to look at the games. Okay, the Fever 162 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 6: beat the Lynx in the Commissioner's Cup. The Links had 163 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 6: their worst offensive game of the season, their number one 164 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 6: in the in the W in offensive rating and defensive rating. 165 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 6: Worst game of the season. They came back, by the 166 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 6: way they won two in a row and looked good 167 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 6: the Links. Secondly, they beat the Aces, who are who 168 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 6: kind of looked at Samboblay this year. I feel like 169 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 6: they missed Kelsey Plumb Moore and they're letting on that 170 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 6: they missed that, that sort of attitude in mindset because 171 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 6: I'll tell you what, she's not gonna have plays poorly. 172 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 6: I think as the team playing against the Fever since 173 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 6: moving to Las Vegas, that was the worst offensive game 174 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 6: that franchise has had. Okay, so these back to back 175 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 6: games where I'm not sure the Fever defense did anything special. 176 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 6: The defense is not great. The other teams just didn't 177 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 6: play well. Then last night we saw again like the 178 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 6: Sparks played like I like they have at times this season. 179 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 6: The fever, wilted down the stretch. We saw many times 180 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 6: this season that they've done. And the last true thy 181 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 6: possessions are y Uni Kaitlyn Clark. They had no they 182 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 6: had nothing. The last play of the game, there were 183 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 6: twenty two seconds theft I think on the clock, they're 184 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 6: down two, a horrific possession. Brian that they had no 185 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 6: one to go to. They had no one to go to. 186 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 6: They went to Boston, which is fine. I think she 187 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 6: missed a shot. You got an offensive rebound, give it 188 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 6: back to Boston, I believe, And then she missed like 189 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 6: an eighteen footer was even close. Like Boston's been playing great, 190 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 6: So it is Mitchell, but to act like Clark. The 191 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 6: turnovers are a problem, I get it, but half of 192 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 6: them are just teammates not catching the ball, which is 193 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 6: another story. But she's averaging eighteen six and nine. It's 194 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 6: not like she's averaging. 195 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 2: Four to two and three. 196 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 6: She's averaging eighteen six and nine and quote unquote not 197 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 6: playing well. And it was really the last three games 198 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 6: where she was one for twenty three from three. So 199 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 6: the idea that we have to make these overarching statements 200 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 6: about I think the WNA people like they cover the 201 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 6: sport are in like, you know, they're in the infancy 202 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 6: stage of all this because the attention to the league 203 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 6: is so new now where you know, if an NFL 204 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 6: analyst said, you know, last year when the Packers won 205 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 6: two games without Jordan Love, no one got on TV 206 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 6: and was like, Jordan Love, they're better without him, willing, 207 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 6: I mean there are people are McDonald. I washed it 208 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 6: in college. I covered Arizona during that the championship run 209 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 6: that they made. She was great and she's playing well now, 210 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 6: but it's like her fourth team, Brian. It's a reason 211 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 6: why she's bouncing around. She people argue that she is 212 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 6: the answer to unlocking Indiana's offense. She doesn't even start. 213 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 6: So a backup point guard who's playing, and I think 214 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 6: she's playing well in her role she's in is somehow 215 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 6: better for the offense than the woman who's every nine 216 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 6: assists the game. So the w n B, a analyst 217 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 6: is like, they're so far like they're just kind of 218 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 6: the whole ecosystem is is sort of behind where the 219 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 6: rest of sports is because everything's I knew they got 220 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 6: to have a take all the time. The attentions just 221 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 6: is so is so much. And I look, whether we 222 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 6: anyone wants to admit it or not. I mean, for 223 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 6: some reason, I I I people have said the reasons 224 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 6: I don't I don't know if I bly them, but 225 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 6: they have not abrased Kaylan Clark like other leagues haven't 226 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 6: braked their superstars. And I just don't get it, Brian, 227 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 6: because Clark has done nothing to dissuade anyone from not 228 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 6: liking her. But there are people that just will not 229 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 6: accept what she has brought to this league. And man, 230 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 6: say she has to be cobbled, or that you have 231 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 6: to go out of your way to praise her, or 232 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 6: what she's playing poor, like she has it to say 233 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 6: she's not playing poorly, can admit when things are going bad. 234 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 6: But for some reason, people that cover the sport are 235 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 6: so hesitant to just give Kaylyn Clark her flowers and say, hey, man, 236 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 6: she's a good ballplayer. And oh they like the private planes, 237 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 6: they like everything else. 238 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, guys, going back to this original 239 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 4: thing here with with with that playing without Caitlyn Clark. 240 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 4: We've heard this plenty of times. When a star goes 241 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 4: down and the team wins some games. Steph Curry missed 242 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 4: four games and the Warriors went four and oh, so 243 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 4: that means they're better without them, I mean. 244 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 6: But no one would say that he covers the lead 245 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 6: crack Kaitlyn Clark. 246 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 4: Caitlyn Clark one of the best players, of course that 247 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 4: that we've ever seen in the NBA, and obviously her 248 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,239 Speaker 4: team is better with her on the court. So sometimes 249 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 4: teams get a little energy boost when a star is 250 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,119 Speaker 4: out without when with an injury, but that doesn't last, 251 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 4: you know, usually it doesn't last long and it kind 252 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 4: of reverts back to the mean after a while or too. So. 253 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 4: But uh, yeah, good good points that we all had 254 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 4: here on the subject. 255 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's uh, it's one of these deals where I 256 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 5: would point to the other Indiana team. You can play 257 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 5: the same game with Haliburton, the Indiana Pacers, Right, he's 258 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 5: a ball dominant guard. Do you think the Pacers are 259 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 5: more dominant? They're gonna be more dangerous this season without them? 260 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 5: Of course not, They're gonna miss them. And the thing 261 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 5: with Caitlin, I'm glad that you brought that up, Jeff. 262 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 5: Her cold shooting streak where she's one for twenty three 263 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 5: or whatever it was from three. 264 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 2: Listen, unless you think she just. 265 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 5: Forgot how to play basketball, and she can't shoot anymore. 266 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 5: She's clearly playing hurt, Like there's a reason why she's 267 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 5: finally like, all right, you know, I got to set 268 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 5: out these games. The organization figured it out where it's like, 269 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 5: instead of trotting her out there where she's this lesser, 270 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 5: hurt version of herself, let's take some time, let her 271 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 5: heel up, and then we'll get the healthy version of her. 272 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 5: So this idea that this is just who she is 273 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 5: as a player now is ridiculous as well. 274 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 2: The whole thing is ridiculous. 275 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 5: But you know, there are legitimate things to point out, 276 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 5: Like she's got to cut down on the turnovers. 277 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 2: That's legitimate. 278 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 5: You don't have to take it to the end degree 279 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 5: and be like and just lose your point when you 280 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 5: take it too far, you know, and say, oh, they're 281 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 5: more dangerous without her. 282 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 2: No they're not. That's just a terrible take. It's just bad. 283 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 5: But that's where we are in this grand scheme of things. Man, 284 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 5: that's the way it goes. 285 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 6: Gain she plays an All Star game, do think she 286 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 6: comes back for that? I'm kind of curious because they 287 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 6: will need her to play that game. But I can't 288 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 6: imagine she doesn't playing the regular she would. I mean, 289 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 6: maybe she just shows up and waves the crowd because 290 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 6: it's in Indiana. But if she's not playing before the 291 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 6: All Star break, how do you justify playing at all 292 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 6: in an All Star game? 293 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 4: Right? 294 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, if she gets out on the court with the fever, 295 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 5: then there's a good chance she'd be out there in 296 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 5: the game. But if she's not there the fever, it'd 297 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 5: be ridiculous to I'd say your first game back is 298 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 5: the All Star Game. 299 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 2: I don't think that would happen. That just be a 300 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 2: bad look. 301 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 9: Hey, we're often running. 302 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 5: We've got Bill Krackenberger, professional sports handicapper.

All right, fellas, So listen, 341 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 5: ball is always on the brain, you know, football always 342 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 5: on the brain. And we had a big trade recently 343 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 5: where the Dolphins and the Steelers they came to an 344 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 5: agreement and the Steelers they get a couple of players. 345 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 5: They get Jalen Ramsey, who's still a really good corner. 346 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 5: They get John hu Smith at tight end, who was 347 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 5: the Dolphins' only Pro bowler last season. 348 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: They get both of those players. 349 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 5: The Dolphins get Minka Fitzpatrick, who was originally a Dolphins 350 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 5: draft pick, who's a very good player. Is his you know, 351 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 5: impact plays have worn down over the last couple of years, 352 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 5: only one interception over the last couple of seasons, but 353 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 5: still a very good player. So the question is, and 354 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 5: I was surprised that I did a fill in show 355 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 5: for Fox this week and most of the people were 356 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 5: on board. They thought the Dolphins got the better end 357 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 5: of the deal, and full disclosure, I'm a diehard Dolphins fan. 358 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 5: I do not think the Dolphins got the better end 359 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 5: of this trade because you get two players that are 360 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 5: going to be starters, that are going to make impact 361 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 5: for the Steelers, the Dolphins get one, Like two is. 362 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 9: Better than one? 363 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 5: What do I don't understand why they're saying the Dolphins 364 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 5: are getting the better end of this trade? 365 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 2: Am I crazy? 366 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 3: Here? 367 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 2: You guys see it the same way. 368 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 6: Wow, I haven't heard that take Dolphins the better end 369 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 6: of the deal. You're right, because it's not like they 370 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 6: got a first round pick or second round pick. That's 371 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 6: a conditional seventh round picks that were traded back and fourth. 372 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 6: I think the idea is maybe you got rid of 373 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 6: Ramsey's contract and therefore you fig yourself up to space. 374 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 6: But what are you using that space for? 375 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 4: Right? 376 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 6: The Dolphins are in a weird spot, and Brian not 377 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 6: saying you don't know, I don't know what they are 378 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 6: this year. They're like, you know, weird, Like Mike Daniel 379 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 6: can be fired. But what if Tua stays healthy and 380 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 6: we make some adjustments and and and we end up 381 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 6: with more wins that we think it's a it's a 382 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 6: I would lean toward the former, by the way, unfortunately, Brian, 383 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 6: but I don't think. I don't think they got the 384 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 6: better of the deal. Look, you're right, they traded two, 385 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 6: but he's got one back. They're traded older player and 386 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 6: John new Smith, by the way, had a great end 387 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 6: of the season. He was their number one off option 388 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 6: a lot of times on offense, was dicing up teams. 389 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 6: You know, a quarterback like Tua, I think needs a 390 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 6: tight end like that right where easy completions over the 391 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 6: middle of field. He doesn't throw the ball well over 392 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 6: the middle field because he's a smaller quarterback having a 393 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 6: big tight end like that. And also jonhu Smith by 394 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 6: the way, man covered the screens for him. They used 395 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 6: a bunch like, they did a lot of fun stuff 396 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 6: with him. They currently replaced him with Darren Waller, which 397 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 6: I I, okay, not the same guy. I think Waller 398 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 6: was retired, right, don't he like we're hiring or as 399 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 6: what was retired is retired not anymore. The Steelers fascinate 400 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 6: me this year because they it's but it's I always 401 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 6: want my favorite teams to try to win until they 402 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 6: realize they can't and then think about the future. Right, 403 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 6: you could do two things at once if you're a franchise, right, 404 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 6: if you think about the near term and the long term. 405 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 6: And the Steelers this year just went all in on 406 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 6: the near term short term, I should say short term. 407 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 6: And when you go all in on the short term, 408 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 6: you want a championship, right, Like, that's the point of it. 409 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 6: But not winning a championship. So I don't know what 410 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 6: they went old veteran in all the positions. I know 411 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 6: at the point of it, I think the next year, 412 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 6: we rep in the same spot, Pittsburgh nine and eight, 413 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 6: ten and seven, and you're looking at them like, well, 414 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 6: they're back on the same spot, don't have a quarterback, 415 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 6: super old everywhere crack. So I get the trade for 416 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 6: the they got two players, and supposedly Fitzpatrick was the 417 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 6: one like holding back the defense. That's what the rumors were. 418 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 6: I didn't play with that defense. I can't tell you 419 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 6: any more than that, But the Dolphins lost the trade, Shirley. 420 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 6: I just don't know if the Steelers really got much better. 421 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 4: Okay, I kind of was thinking this one is kind 422 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 4: of pretty even here. It helps both teams Ramsey seemed 423 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 4: to lose the motivation of Miami, but I still think 424 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 4: he has a couple of good years left on the table. 425 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 4: The Steelers also get a great receiving tight end, john 426 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 4: Neus Smith, and this is a good target edition for 427 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers this season, who really likes to utilize his 428 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 4: tight ends in the red zone. Smith is coming off 429 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 4: his best best season where he broke franchise tight end 430 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 4: records with eighty eight catches and I think I read 431 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 4: it earlier eight hundred and eighty eighty yards. I mean, meanwhile, 432 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 4: the Dolphins get Fitzpatrick, who did have a down year, 433 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 4: but is you know, it's only twenty eight, in the 434 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 4: prime of his career. A location change should probably reratalize 435 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 4: someone like him. And the Dolphins have totally redone their secondary, 436 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 4: which has been pretty bad the last couple of seasons. 437 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 4: So we'll see what happens here. Yeah. 438 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 5: Kind of interesting stats with the Steelers as well, because 439 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 5: they do have mouth right, they still have Pat Fryermuth 440 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 5: and so some people are like, they already have a 441 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 5: tight end, what are they doing here exactly. Pittsburgh actually 442 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 5: ran the most plays out of thirteen personnel, which is 443 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 5: just one running back and three tight ends. They ran 444 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 5: one hundred and sixty three plays with three tight ends 445 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 5: on the field, and they ran more than forty five 446 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 5: percent of their offensive plays last season with two or 447 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 5: more tight ends on the field at the same time. 448 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 5: So the Steelers dealt George Pickens, their wide receiver to 449 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 5: the Cowboys, and they pick up a playmaker in John 450 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 5: new Smith who will make an impact. And it's not 451 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 5: as if they just have mooth on the field at 452 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 5: tight end and John new Smith is going to be 453 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 5: like sipping Gator Raider. They're both gonna be on the 454 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 5: field half the time. So that's a nice pickup for 455 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 5: the Steelers. And you get a corner, you get a 456 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 5: tight end that's gonna make an impact. And meanwhile the 457 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 5: Dolphins they get a safety that makes an impact and 458 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 5: they have to have a tight end come out of retirement. 459 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 5: Like that's advantage Steelers all day. I'm just surprised that 460 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 5: there are fans, there were talking heads that were saying 461 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 5: the Dolphins got the better end of the deal because 462 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 5: they have the best player of the whole transaction. I 463 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 5: don't see it that way. Two for one is better 464 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 5: for the team with the two than the team with 465 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 5: the one. 466 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 2: It's just that easy. 467 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 6: Looking at the Dolphins depth chart tight end. 468 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 2: Oh boy, yeah, by the way. 469 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 6: Phil Brown let go a trade for someone. 470 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 2: Right, well you would think so. 471 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 5: They've been on the phone, but they reportedly were interested 472 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 5: in Michael Mayer, the Raiders tight end. Right with Brock 473 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 5: Powers over there, it makes some sense. Maybe they see 474 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 5: some value with a former second round pick and maybe 475 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 5: they make a deal or find somebody else because they're 476 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 5: they're interested. Because yeah, I'm glad you pointed that out. 477 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 5: Jeff Farrell Brown. Before they got the before they got 478 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 5: Darren Waller out of retirement, Farrell Brown was the most 479 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 5: experienced Dolphins tight end. And his number is not bad, 480 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 5: right you think about this, seventy two catches for seven 481 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 5: hundred and fifty one yards, three touchdowns like that, that's 482 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 5: a pretty good season. That's Those are his numbers in 483 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 5: eighty seven career games. Okay, so not exactly a huge 484 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 5: threat as a receiving tight end.

I know Craig Council went to Notre Dame. 542 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 5: I don't know why, well from I'm from South Bend, 543 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 5: so that's probably why. 544 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 11: He's actually went to Arizona State. 545 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 6: Almost close, I knew it was a Pac twelve. 546 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 2: School, Irish almost Notre Dame. 547 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 5: Gay Uh oh what torklesin is Arizona State? Sun devil 548 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 5: forks up? 549 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 4: Huh? 550 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 5: Yeah there you go. Yeah you could play that game 551 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 5: all day. You could name stars and I'd be like, 552 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 5: where did uh Scoobal go? 553 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 2: He pitches today? Where's schoobl from? 554 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 6: But I, but I, I I have an under first 555 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 6: inning hits for the Indians, So assume the guarding. Sorry, 556 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 6: So I hope that I hope that uh we get. 557 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 2: Home there like I've been I've been crushing. 558 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 6: I've been crushing these live close your ears, crack. I 559 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 6: don't think you're gonna have to hear this live inning hits. 560 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 6: I did it last night with Logan Web. 561 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 2: Like again, I know you did that, like you know 562 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 2: we could go or sit with low. 563 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, So a lot of times I do it. I 564 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 6: do the first inning with us with the ace, and 565 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 6: then I do the top of the third essentially right 566 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 6: or bottom through seven eight nine if they get there right, 567 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 6: because if you have no hits through two, you're probably 568 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 6: getting through seven eight nine and you get like plus 569 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 6: one hundred minus one o five. So I did it 570 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 6: with Logan Web twice last night, and I will when 571 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 6: we get to like our props and parlay appliter our stuff, 572 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 6: I might I might throw in if I can find 573 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 6: some of these numbers here, I bet MGM for like 574 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 6: under first three things like that, because these these starting pitchers, man, 575 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 6: these aces, they are good. 576 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 11: Trick Scubele went, oh, sorry, go ahead, where do you go? 577 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 11: Seattle University? See, of course he did. Wow, but both 578 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 11: him and Torkelsen both born in California. 579 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 6: Seattle University. 580 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 2: Wow, that's a random one. 581 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 6: Nowadays, he would have transferred to talk an SEC school. 582 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 6: He's not spending four years at Seattle Universe. Three years 583 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 6: at Sattle University. 584 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, let me throw this at you, guys. I'm curious 585 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 5: what you think about this. So big gamble by the 586 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 5: Milwaukee Bucks where they agree to a buyout with Damian Lillard. Right, 587 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 5: Dame has the Achilles injury, so he's on the shelf 588 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 5: for this entire next season. So they buy out Damian Lillard. 589 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 5: And they did that so they could sign Miles Turner. 590 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 5: So Miles Turner comes over from the Indiana Pacers, goes 591 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 5: to the Bucks. So the Bucks are aggressive right here. 592 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 5: They're trying to keep you honest at that to Koombo. 593 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 5: So they buy out Dame, they sign Miles Turner. They're 594 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 5: trying to make it a better supporting cast. So Yanni 595 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 5: sticks around. Do you like this? What do you make 596 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 5: of these bold moves by the Bucks gambling big here? 597 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, So if if the goal was to make Jannis 598 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 6: happy and keep him in a Bucks uniform for a 599 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 6: couple more seasons, I think it's financially and like franchise wise, Brian, 600 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 6: it might be worth all the all they've gone through. 601 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 6: That's the only positive here in my opinion. If you 602 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 6: think that the one for one switch and then stretch, 603 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 6: this stretch thing they're doing with makes financial sense, it 604 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 6: makes you a better team. Probably. 605 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 12: Not. 606 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 6: The thing that I have a tough time with is 607 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 6: Miles Turner was so bad in the finals, And you 608 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 6: shouldn't judge a player based off that one experience because 609 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 6: it's NBA Finals, right, I mean sometimes you know, and 610 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 6: we've seen superstars over the years. You know, I'm a 611 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 6: Barry Bonds guy forever. He was bad in the postas 612 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 6: until he wasn't in n O two. Like that's a story. 613 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 6: Aaron Judge, right, was bad until he was to the 614 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 6: last season, and like you can break out of that. 615 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 6: But when I see a guy shoot thirteen percent on 616 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 6: open threes and for a whole finals, Brian, and they 617 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 6: get signed to a monster contract and this guy's supposed 618 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 6: to elevate the team above what they've been. I do 619 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 6: have some concerns, but again, if you're doing this to 620 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 6: keep Jannis happy, maybe it makes sense just to say 621 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 6: our superstar is gonna stay with Giannis. We always have 622 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 6: a chance to win the East this year. No, Holly Burrn, 623 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 6: probably Notatum, and both those teams have basically sold off 624 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 6: for this season. Maybe Turner can can get us over 625 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 6: the there's some way to talk yourself into this crack. 626 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 6: But I'm not betting on the Bucks this season. I 627 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 6: don't My money's not going there. 628 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think the buyout was a good 629 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 4: idea for the Bucks. Loward is in the tail end 630 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 4: of his career and coming off an Achilles injury and 631 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 4: never really meshed with Giannis and Milwaukee. Do I think 632 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 4: getting Miles Turner means Gianna stays with the Bucks. No. 633 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 4: I think he could stay or leave, But I don't 634 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 4: think Turner matters to him. I think Giannis would prefer 635 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 4: a big market city like New York or LA. But 636 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 4: who can actually afford him That's another question. 637 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 11: Now. 638 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 4: I could definitely see him on a team like the Knicks, 639 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 4: but we'll have to wait and see though. For that, 640 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 4: you know, it's a matter of really when you're going 641 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 4: looking at a big market team like that, I mean, 642 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 4: you know, how much money do they have to pay 643 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 4: all these different stars they have in that market? So 644 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 4: we'll see what happens. 645 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like I'm gonna talk out of both 646 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 5: sides of my mouth. But the positive side is I 647 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 5: feel like I'm at the poker table. You guys have 648 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 5: probably had this experience where you're at the poker table 649 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 5: and someone goes all in with a very modest hand 650 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 5: like ten to seven, and this is before the flop, 651 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 5: and you're looking at this guy and you're like, I 652 00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 5: don't know it's gonna work, but that's pretty Bold's That's 653 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 5: that's a bold move right there. That's how I feel 654 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 5: with the Bucks. So halfway, I'm like, man, I appreciate 655 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 5: the gamble and you have nothing else. 656 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 2: But I think it's dumb. 657 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 5: Like that's the more critical side of me, because you 658 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 5: have to ask yourself to these moves put the Bucks 659 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 5: in a position if Yannis does stick around, are they 660 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 5: in a position to win a championship. 661 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 2: They're not even close. So you're doing all these moves in. 662 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 5: An effort to keep you honest there and then what's 663 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 5: gonna happen from that point on? They're not going to 664 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 5: do anything, So you're making you're doing all. 665 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 6: This happy Yeah, get ticket sales, I mean part of business, 666 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 6: part of this. 667 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 5: Like, but I look at I look at that part 668 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 5: of it where you should be going at it in 669 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 5: a different direction. What makes sense. You have to make 670 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 5: the hard decision. You have to trade. 671 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 2: Jannis, and you have to go young, and you have 672 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 2: to get actual draft picks. 673 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 5: They're capped out, they have no maneuverability and they have 674 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 5: no draft picks because of the Drew. 675 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 2: Holliday move, the Damian Lillard move. 676 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 5: You can buy out Dame, you still have to throw 677 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 5: those draft picks away in that deal. They're still due. 678 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 5: So I think you got to reset and move your honest. 679 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 5: That's the hard decision that you really have to make. 680 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 5: This is just a band aid, you know. That's and 681 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 5: they're crossing their fingers, like hopefully we get Giannis. Like 682 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 5: they've lost in the first round each of the last 683 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 5: three years. Even if Jannis goes back, How does that 684 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 5: change dramatically? 685 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 6: It doesn't, It doesn't know, You're right, I mean, I'm 686 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 6: team make tough decisions. I think that's what I would 687 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 6: have done if I was Milwaukee. But I get why 688 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 6: they didn't obviously from a business perspective, But yes, you 689 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 6: should trade them and get a bunch of drop picks 690 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 6: and start over and just say we won our championship 691 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 6: with the honest thank you, like trust trust our vision, 692 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 6: you know, Bucks fans. 693 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, right, that's I mean, think about some of these 694 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 5: organizations that have made those tough decisions where I mean, 695 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 5: my mind goes straight to football, but think of these quarterbacks. 696 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 5: Where the Colts did it with Peyton Manning. Yeah, the 697 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 5: Niners did it with Jim Montana. 698 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 4: There. 699 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 5: I'm sure there are plenty of basketball examples that you know, 700 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 5: don't come to the Celtics. Good example with Paul Pierce 701 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 5: and Kevin Garnett. At the time that Paul Pierce was adored, 702 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 5: they finally won a championship and they're like, we're moving 703 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 5: both these guys, and they were better off for it. 704 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 2: With Tatum and Brown, their vision was much better doing 705 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 2: it that way. 706 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,879 Speaker 5: They weren't like, no, no, no, we can't. It's our 707 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 5: favorite blankie. We can't part with that, right, No, you 708 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 5: make the tough decision and move those guys all right, agree? Yeah, 709 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 5: we got a Bill Krakeenberger, professional sports handicapper. 710 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 2: Jeff Schwartz, eight year NFL veteran. 711 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,919 Speaker 5: I'm Brian now coming up next the parlay platter, which 712 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 5: have one selection for you.

What do you like? 737 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 4: All right? Let's I got so many games today, amazingly 738 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 4: on a Sunday morning here late in the season, right 739 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 4: before all starbreak, you usually slow down. But let's let's 740 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 4: go with Philadelphia first five. I'm gonna go a minus 741 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 4: a half, which is really tough to do on a 742 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 4: baseball game, but I think the situation warrant it. Philadelphia 743 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 4: minus a half minus a dollars seventy seven, Philadelphia first five. 744 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 6: All right, Well, the one out of one is not 745 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 6: up yet, Brian, unless you can help me find it. 746 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 6: I like the Aces first half over, but I can't 747 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 6: find it on I don't think it's up yet, so 748 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 6: I won't play that one. So if you if you're 749 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 6: listening to this and you you want an extra play, 750 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 6: I guess so first half I'm trying to find I 751 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 6: can't see it, right. Yeah, they will have it at 752 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 6: some point, but it's not up yet. I think it's 753 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 6: like forty three, forty four and a half Aces had 754 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 6: to get a historically badging performance. They play the sub today, 755 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 6: so I won't go there. What I will give you 756 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 6: is first three innings under for Pirates and Mariners. The 757 00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 6: Pirates one six in a row with the Seattle. I 758 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 6: don't have scored a run any game so far yet, 759 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 6: they lost one nothing yesterday. They don't score a lot 760 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 6: of runs early in games to start with. It's not 761 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 6: what they do even during their wind streak. And then 762 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 6: Paulsey just throwing today. So combining those things together and 763 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 6: we have a parlay. I'll go under two and a 764 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:20,280 Speaker 6: half minus two twenty here for the parlay, Brian first 765 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 6: three under two and a half between the Pirates and Mariners. 766 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 5: Oh right, okay, So I have a confession to make, guys. 767 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 5: I think you would like this confession. So there's a 768 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 5: neighborhood cat that comes by and visits to us all 769 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 5: the time, and we've nicknamed her Oreo. No idea what 770 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 5: the cat's name is. She's here today, right now, and 771 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 5: she's going berserk's on the coffee table. Wow, my screen 772 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 5: is moving back and forth. I don't know if I 773 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 5: can give you a here she is. 774 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 4: I don't know if you like she's actually laying like. 775 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:56,919 Speaker 6: Really like right on. 776 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought it even that comes to the neighbor 777 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 4: on the outside. No, it's the cats in the house. 778 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, cats in the house on the coffee table. 779 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 5: As I'm trying to make my selection for the parlay platter. 780 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 6: You got you earlier. 781 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:11,800 Speaker 2: You tell the cat you're working. 782 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,319 Speaker 5: I'm right, yeah, she doesn't know my work schedule here. 783 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 5: You know, it's like your wife asking you go to 784 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 5: go to home depot. Jeff, it's crazy you're in the 785 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 5: household this morning. 786 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,439 Speaker 2: But uh, I'm gonna go to the WNBA here. 787 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with the Seattle Storm plus five and 788 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 5: a half the New York Liberty. 789 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 2: They are not the same team without my girl. John 790 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 2: Quell Jones. 791 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 5: John Qwell Jones makes a big impact as my screen 792 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 5: starts moving around because Oreo. 793 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 2: Is going it's crazy right now. 794 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 5: I'm sorry about this, but I just think that if 795 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 5: you look at the Liberty, they haven't covered their last 796 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 5: eight games in a row, and when you're getting points 797 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,280 Speaker 5: the Seattle Storm, I'm not going just by the last 798 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 5: game where they've won by ten points at home, but 799 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 5: they've shown that they're able to hang with the Liberty. 800 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 2: They're able to beat the Liberty. There's not the same. 801 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 5: It's a little bit like the Aces in a way, Jeff, 802 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 5: where they're just a little discombobulated. 803 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,240 Speaker 2: The Ace is more so than the Liberty. 804 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 5: But from a covering standpoint, the Liberty are just not 805 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 5: firing on all cylinders. Why I feel comfortable laying the 806 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:19,720 Speaker 5: five and a half, so I'll. 807 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 2: Scoop the points. 808 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 5: I'll take the Storm today plus five and a half 809 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 5: for the potside. 810 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:28,280 Speaker 6: Of the Links being favorites and who never playing the Sun. 811 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 6: The underdogs are covering a lot in the WNBA, a lot. 812 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 6: Brian and I tracked this every night. The Lynks cover 813 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 6: a time. They cover the last two games, even though 814 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 6: even though last night they might have actually missed about 815 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,240 Speaker 6: half a point of a late comeback by the Valkyries. 816 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,439 Speaker 6: But the Sun don't cover ever. So but I also 817 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 6: went and lay eighteen and a half today on the 818 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 6: Aces against the Sun. But these underdogs, crack man, they're 819 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 6: not even They're winning outright in a lot of games. 820 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 6: So five and a half in Storm stormware good. And 821 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 6: they didn't play terby Walgains. That was it dream the 822 00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 6: other night that had come back later win that game. 823 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 6: They played someone on the road two games go, so 824 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 6: I like this play here. Yeah, Jones was started so 825 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 6: fast this year, and then we had her in a game, 826 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 6: remember brought She got hurt in the first quarter of 827 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 6: that game, and. 828 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 5: She was doing great. She had like four rebounds immediately, 829 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 5: and then she was hurt. 830 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 6: Look, the nature of wagering is sometimes you're gonna lose 831 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 6: a wager that way. I think it's odd when people 832 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 6: complain on social media, like I keep it my money 833 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 6: back sports book because someone got hurt. That's it's wagering. 834 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 6: It's not called winning. It's wagering. You're not gonna just 835 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 6: get your your money back. You you just you had 836 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 6: bad luck. 837 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 4: That was the craziest thing. In the last couple of seasons. 838 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 4: The sports books started giving some money back on bad 839 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 4: beats or things that. 840 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, like hally burn for like your own superstars.

Even though I'm I'm all 843 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,399 Speaker 4: for the fans and getting the money back, it led 844 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 4: to a bad positive people going yeah easy on social media, right. Yeah. 845 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 5: It was supposed to be like, hey, we're just gonna 846 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,399 Speaker 5: be cool this one time, and it led to me, Hey, 847 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:01,360 Speaker 5: can I have ice. 848 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 2: Cream for dinner every night? 849 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 5: That's right, That's exactly what it turned into.

One in Major League Baseball. 868 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,800 Speaker 5: That would be Louise Ortiz there's a pitcher for the 869 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:12,959 Speaker 5: Cleveland Guardians. He is on non disciplinary paid leave. There's 870 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 5: an MLB investigation because there was some irregular betting activity 871 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 5: and a couple of shady pitches. So you can bet 872 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 5: on literally just a single pitch if it's going to 873 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 5: be a ball or a strike or what have you. 874 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 5: And there was some irregular betting activity on a couple 875 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 5: of pitches with Louise Ortiz and the pitch is in 876 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 5: question here we're not even close to being strikes. So 877 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 5: it raises a couple of eyebrows, like, wait a minute, 878 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 5: what's going on here? Like you're pitching against the Cardinals 879 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,720 Speaker 5: and it just happens to be the third inning, first pitch, 880 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 5: and there's a ball that bounces like five feet before 881 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:55,840 Speaker 5: the catcher. 882 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 4: You know what I mean. 883 00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:00,040 Speaker 5: It's like, wait a minute. So this is something that 884 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 5: being looked into. 885 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 2: Also. 886 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 5: The other investigation is in the NBA. There's a federal 887 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 5: investigation into Malik Beasley, where similar situation. There's been some 888 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:16,360 Speaker 5: shady betting activity where whoa, there's this abnormal spike in 889 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:21,320 Speaker 5: a player prop bet and there have been some highlight 890 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 5: reels that have been you know, like a little compilation. 891 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 2: Of Malik Beasley strange plays where he. 892 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,320 Speaker 5: Takes a they're down by nine points and he takes 893 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,760 Speaker 5: the inbounds pass with five seconds to go and jets 894 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,359 Speaker 5: on the other end of the court and dunks at 895 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 5: home and his team covers the spread. This was two 896 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 5: seasons ago when he was with the Bucks. So, like 897 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 5: your your bird's eye view of these two investigations, what's 898 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 5: happening with the MLB investigation and the federal investigation into 899 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:52,839 Speaker 5: Malik Beasley. What do you think about this? 900 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 6: Well, look, I think there are different situations, but it 901 00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,720 Speaker 6: comes back to the same thing. Look, legalized sports wagering 902 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 6: has given us markets for players that we didn't have previously. 903 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 6: Right before that, when you had to use far away 904 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 6: sports books, you didn't get the player props that are 905 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 6: available now, right, it just didn't happen. You weren't able 906 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 6: to find these markets. So there you can say the 907 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 6: legalized sports wagering has led to an increase potentially in 908 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 6: players wagering on themselves or against themselves, most likely in 909 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 6: professional sports. You can also say very you know strongly 910 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 6: that because there have been checks and balances put in 911 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 6: place with the legalization of sports wagering that they're easily 912 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 6: caught now, right there, these irregularities are easily tracked, and 913 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 6: when there's a spike in in tickets on a certain player, 914 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,759 Speaker 6: prop or money, it sets up an alarm and you 915 00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 6: can now go find the cause of these illegal wagers 916 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 6: enterally right if someone wagering on themselves or again most often 917 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 6: against themselves. So both things are true. What's also true 918 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 6: is how incredibly stupid you have to be as an 919 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 6: athlete to wager on yourself. It never turns out the 920 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,480 Speaker 6: way you think it's going to turn out. Never ever right, 921 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 6: you're going to get caught. There are so many eyeballs, 922 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 6: not even not even to the specific wager you're on, 923 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 6: but just watching you play every night if they see 924 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,760 Speaker 6: something abnormal. People went back and found tweets the people 925 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 6: about Malik Beasley from months ago saying, guys, this guy, 926 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 6: what was happening right now? Someone has to investigate him. 927 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 6: They're just fans watching him play because it's so abnormal. 928 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 6: You watch the the Ortiz pitches, Dude, the rubber right, 929 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 6: the pitching rubber to home play is sixty feet six inches. Okay, 930 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 6: he threw a ball that went forty seven feet. He 931 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 6: didn't even try to get to the home plate. Now 932 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 6: with that specific thing, Okay, they're Beasley had gambling, not 933 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 6: gambling debts, had debts he was trying to pay off. 934 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 6: I think by throwing his player props like that was 935 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 6: clear if you read articles. What the Ortiz thing that 936 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,799 Speaker 6: I found so interesting because as we all three of 937 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 6: us know, a sports book will limit what you can 938 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 6: wager on certain things, and they have to know who 939 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 6: you are often to give you a higher limit or 940 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 6: for unfortunately for Crack, like limit you because you win 941 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 6: so much, right, And the idea that that these micro 942 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:40,239 Speaker 6: wagers right first pitch of a first inning ball or strike, crack, 943 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,799 Speaker 6: how much can you get down on a prop like 944 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 6: that to make it? 945 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 4: Would be my focus of my response. You're right, I. 946 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 6: Mean, if you're lucky, a thousand dollars even money, maybe 947 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:55,880 Speaker 6: I don't even know what I can't I don't even know. 948 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,319 Speaker 6: I never made one of these before. I don't even 949 00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 6: know they're not I don't bet MGM. I don't think 950 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 6: offers them. I mean, what's the number on a first 951 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 6: pitch of a game? Problem? I have no idea. So 952 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 6: you're not even making money doing this they're going to 953 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 6: flag you immediately. And my last point before get to 954 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 6: cract quickly. The reason why these leagues punish players so 955 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,360 Speaker 6: harsh when it comes to gambling, and I agree with 956 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 6: the leagues on this, is it's the integrity of the 957 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,319 Speaker 6: game issue, right. You don't want fans to think that 958 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 6: every time a pitcher is pitching, a hitter is hitting, 959 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 6: you know, someone's shooting a basket, someone's throwing a football, 960 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 6: that they're not doing it for competition and trying to win, 961 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 6: that they're doing it for making money on the side. 962 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 6: And you don't want everyone going through every There's a 963 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,920 Speaker 6: video of Ortiz throwing a strike with two strikes, striking 964 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,480 Speaker 6: somebody and yelling the F word afterwards, like see he 965 00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,320 Speaker 6: wanted to throw a ball there, but he didn't. You 966 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,359 Speaker 6: don't want that, right, So crack I seed my time 967 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:49,879 Speaker 6: to you, sir. 968 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, I listen, guys.

My bulk of my income on my 971 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,280 Speaker 4: wager is wagering on my taxes is from sports betting. 972 00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,239 Speaker 4: And I just know because I have gotten down a 973 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,240 Speaker 4: lot of money when at first, when these new markets 974 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 4: first came to the United States here about seven years ago, 975 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,880 Speaker 4: the props was very profitable for me. I did really 976 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,440 Speaker 4: well on props. Now it seems like only the NBA, 977 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, NFL and some NBA, but more NFL props. 978 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 4: I'm more successful because I can get down more money. 979 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 4: Me and my team don't focus as much on other 980 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 4: props for other leagues.

I wouldn't even 985 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,360 Speaker 4: know what sportsbook to bet at. And I have connections 986 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,760 Speaker 4: all over I mean I used to fly back east 987 00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 4: to Atlantic City just to be able to hit all 988 00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,480 Speaker 4: the different sports books on NBA and NFL. Most of 989 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 4: the NFL, like I said, player props. But as far 990 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 4: as baseball first strike, first ball, do you know how 991 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,799 Speaker 4: much money? Even me with a ton of connections and 992 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,840 Speaker 4: know the pulse of the industry, I don't even know 993 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 4: if I can get down a thousand bucks on something 994 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:21,560 Speaker 4: like that. And that's me so with lots of connections. 995 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,600 Speaker 4: It doesn't sound right to me. But looking at the 996 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,799 Speaker 4: facts here and like Jeff said, forty seven feet, you know, 997 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,520 Speaker 4: it just doesn't Something looks funny, But I just don't 998 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,160 Speaker 4: know how much money you can get down on something 999 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,799 Speaker 4: like that. Now I look at these guys' salaries and 1000 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 4: I say, well, let me see what these guys make. 1001 00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,400 Speaker 4: Where Teas made seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars, which 1002 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 4: you know, it's still a it's still really good money. 1003 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 4: Fifteen thousand a Weeknd's pretty good. But you know the 1004 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,440 Speaker 4: other guy's making fifteen million a year. So but you 1005 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,560 Speaker 4: just say, wow, is can or Tease be this stupid 1006 00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:56,799 Speaker 4: to do something like this for a thousand bucks? Or 1007 00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 4: who knows? It could be dumb, it could be less, 1008 00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,880 Speaker 4: it can act to be less. We all knew this 1009 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 4: eventually being an issue after sports betting went legal. The 1010 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 4: Beasily one is an interesting one because it sounds like 1011 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 4: he bet on his own props. I personally bet I've 1012 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 4: had action on his props the last couple of years. 1013 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,359 Speaker 4: I can remember games where he scored twenty five and 1014 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,760 Speaker 4: then games where he scored two points. It'll be interesting 1015 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,960 Speaker 4: to see how these cases pan out because they're setting 1016 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,800 Speaker 4: a precedent of how these cases will be dealting within 1017 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:29,400 Speaker 4: the future. 1018 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,880 Speaker 6: I found it. I found it. I found it that 1019 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,719 Speaker 6: that has the market for first So first game today 1020 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:39,719 Speaker 6: is Braves and Orioles. Yeah, first pitch result, top of 1021 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:40,399 Speaker 6: the first inning. 1022 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 2: Wow, So what are you betting? 1023 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,840 Speaker 6: We'll just looking.

A strike 1025 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:53,000 Speaker 6: on the first pitch minus one fifteen, Okay, A ball 1026 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:54,440 Speaker 6: is plus one forty five. 1027 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:55,120 Speaker 4: Wow. 1028 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 6: Any other outcome, Well, I'll go sorry, I'll go single 1029 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,319 Speaker 6: this A single is plus twenty three hundred. Extra base 1030 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,400 Speaker 6: hit is plus thirty four hundred. Any other outcome is 1031 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 6: plus seven hundred. What is any other outcome? 1032 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:09,040 Speaker 4: Home run? 1033 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 6: No home run is for extra. 1034 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 2: Extra base hit by a pitch. 1035 00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:14,919 Speaker 6: No hit by a pitcher's ball, hit by a pitch 1036 00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,759 Speaker 6: plus one forty five. I mean he gets catcher's interference 1037 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,680 Speaker 6: ll be up there. Seven to one for catching interference 1038 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 6: feels way too low. I don't even know what. Yeah, 1039 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:30,400 Speaker 6: it'd be catchers interference or like the ball explodes in 1040 00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 6: the pitches and count. I don't know what else will 1041 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,319 Speaker 6: the other but for extra base hit in the first 1042 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,280 Speaker 6: pitch of the game, crack thirty four to one today. 1043 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,080 Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, it could be maybe an error. I don't know, 1044 00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:41,920 Speaker 2: no error there. 1045 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 6: You go error, Yes, you're right, error base by error. 1046 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,160 Speaker 4: Knowing that they you know he's going to throw a 1047 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:51,879 Speaker 4: ball at plus one forty five. I'm actually see I'm 1048 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,359 Speaker 4: not really immersed in that marketplace. So now you're telling 1049 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 4: me if you found it that quick, maybe I'm wrong. 1050 00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,560 Speaker 4: Maybe you could get a couple of thousand down on this. 1051 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 6: Well, I only found a sports books, So the other 1052 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:02,439 Speaker 6: one that I thought it would be on I can't 1053 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,560 Speaker 6: find it yet. It might be up at some point later. 1054 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,480 Speaker 6: But that's uh. And that game starts early, starts at eleven. 1055 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,600 Speaker 6: It starts in like War on the air, which is 1056 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:11,840 Speaker 6: shocking not early for baseball. 1057 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:12,240 Speaker 4: Right. 1058 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:13,040 Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing with. 1059 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,480 Speaker 4: Those hey guys. There's actually teams of guys that will 1060 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,719 Speaker 4: use a bot robot program to make a bet with 1061 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 4: many outs all over the country and even in far 1062 00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 4: away places. So cumulatively, maybe you could get down that 1063 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,239 Speaker 4: much with a professional sending to get outfit. Maybe you 1064 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:34,759 Speaker 4: could on a first pitch ball or strike. So it 1065 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 4: just it's interesting how how dumb. These guys will be 1066 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 4: ruin their whole career though, for a couple grand. 1067 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:44,239 Speaker 5: But that's the thing is we're talking. Maybe you get 1068 00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,440 Speaker 5: down a couple of grand and you make a score, 1069 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,720 Speaker 5: Why would you gamble your career? 1070 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:50,960 Speaker 2: Zero sense? 1071 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,759 Speaker 5: And that's where Luis Ortiz, like Jeff raddled off all 1072 00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,000 Speaker 5: the potential outcomes. That's why he's throwing a pitch that's 1073 00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,879 Speaker 5: literally like five feet before worth a cadger. He's thinking, man, 1074 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,080 Speaker 5: it needs to be a ball. If this guy, this 1075 00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,840 Speaker 5: pitch could be, you know, three inches off the plate, 1076 00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,480 Speaker 5: clearly a ball. But he swings at it. Yeah, and 1077 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,759 Speaker 5: I lose this, you know, so I'm on the walk 1078 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 5: for even more. So I got to bounce this thing 1079 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:21,080 Speaker 5: and it looks so abnormally shady. You just don't see 1080 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 5: things like that routinely in MLB. But I'll just say this, man, 1081 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,600 Speaker 5: this is what it boils down to, is not just 1082 00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 5: for this. If you're gonna do something stupid, be as 1083 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,160 Speaker 5: smart about it as possible. 1084 00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:32,439 Speaker 2: You know what I mean. 1085 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,799 Speaker 5: It wouldn't if you're gonna do something stupid like rob 1086 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,920 Speaker 5: a bank, you wouldn't do it with no mask on, 1087 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 5: you know what I mean? You wouldn't just be like, 1088 00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,600 Speaker 5: all right, hey give me the cash. You're not covering 1089 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,399 Speaker 5: your face. You would at least do that. This isn't 1090 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 5: a how to rob banks. I'm just saying, if you're 1091 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:52,080 Speaker 5: doing something stupid, be as smart as possible. And if 1092 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,240 Speaker 5: you're trying to, like I don't know, you're conspiring with people. 1093 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,839 Speaker 5: You're saying, hey, yeah, I bet my under it'll hit. 1094 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,759 Speaker 5: It's like, what are your tracks if you're gonna do this, 1095 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 5: If you're gonna, you know, risk your career on a 1096 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 5: couple of grand don't bounce the pitch five feet before 1097 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,960 Speaker 5: the catcher, like, make it a foot outside where it 1098 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,600 Speaker 5: looks normal like, and don't be greedy to a fault. 1099 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,680 Speaker 5: That's how John tay Porter got busted. They they had 1100 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,880 Speaker 5: this parlay. It hit for like eighty five thousand dollars. 1101 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,520 Speaker 5: It's a huge score. Is not good enough, Let's try 1102 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,800 Speaker 5: to do it. Let's try to win a million bucks. 1103 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 2: And then they're. 1104 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,799 Speaker 5: They're looking into oh, hey listen, there's a telegram. 1105 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:34,160 Speaker 2: There are text messages. 1106 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:39,439 Speaker 5: They're communicating, communicating via telegram, and John tay Porter's like, yeah, yeah, 1107 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,040 Speaker 5: I bet the unders. I'll just play for a couple 1108 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:43,920 Speaker 5: of minutes, I'll tell them my eye is killing me. 1109 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 2: I'll get out of the game. It'll hit. 1110 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,600 Speaker 5: You know, They've got all these they've got data, they've 1111 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:53,000 Speaker 5: got records, they've got messages. It's unbelievable what players think 1112 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,759 Speaker 5: they're gonna get away with. This is heavily monitored, like 1113 00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:01,560 Speaker 5: crack again, this is just a normal betting activity that's 1114 00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,080 Speaker 5: picked up by a service and they're like, whoa, this 1115 00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,439 Speaker 5: is odd and then they start sniffing around and they're 1116 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,600 Speaker 5: going to find stuff that's abnormal if there is something 1117 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:15,439 Speaker 5: to find. So it's just the worst gamble you could make. 1118 00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,760 Speaker 4: It's crazy. It actually is if you think about it. 1119 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,720 Speaker 4: It's crazy that they're going to throw their careers away 1120 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,400 Speaker 4: over something. If it comes out after the investigation that 1121 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:28,239 Speaker 4: they're guilty of this, or they find out all it 1122 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,359 Speaker 4: takes is one person in the chain that only made 1123 00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,799 Speaker 4: two hundred bucks instead of a thousand to rat them out, 1124 00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:35,960 Speaker 4: you know what I mean, right, Like, that's all it 1125 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,040 Speaker 4: takes is someone in the operation to say, yeah, he 1126 00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:39,000 Speaker 4: did do it, you know. 1127 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, you trust all these guys, like with your career. 1128 00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 4: Right with your career. I would Jesus. 1129 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 5: Think about that Crag like, if someone came up Malik Beasley, 1130 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,759 Speaker 5: he was in talks with the Pistons. 1131 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,760 Speaker 2: For a three year, forty two million. 1132 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:56,360 Speaker 5: Dollar contract, right, and that's on pause now as this 1133 00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:00,440 Speaker 5: investigation sorts its way out. She's like, imagine if one 1134 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,919 Speaker 5: of you, know, you have some people that you work 1135 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,280 Speaker 5: with with your sports betting crack. Imagine if someone approached 1136 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,200 Speaker 5: you and said, hey, Crack, I got a proposition for you. 1137 00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:10,239 Speaker 2: I think this is going. 1138 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,480 Speaker 5: To cash, but it might cost you forty two million 1139 00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,320 Speaker 5: dollars over the next three years if we get busted. 1140 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,640 Speaker 2: You'd be like, I don't even want to hear it. 1141 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:20,080 Speaker 4: I don't want to hear it. I don't want to 1142 00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:21,960 Speaker 4: even know what it is. Yeah, Like, I don't want 1143 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,880 Speaker 4: I don't want to even have access to knowing what 1144 00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:25,200 Speaker 4: it was. Yeah.

At least, you know, you have Schemes, Wheelers, 1281 01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:45,640 Speaker 12: scooball all going.

So 1284 01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:55,120 Speaker 12: the books have actually just opened for some big pitching 1285 01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,560 Speaker 12: duels today and some nice love scoring outcomes. 1286 01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:01,440 Speaker 6: We just talked about some of these investigations that happened 1287 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 6: with you know, professional athletes, right, Basketball, Baseball, nothing football 1288 01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:10,200 Speaker 6: so far. If you're sitting there today, are you monitoring 1289 01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,120 Speaker 6: some of like the bets that come in to look 1290 01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:16,160 Speaker 6: for these irregularities and what do you so like, what's 1291 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:17,920 Speaker 6: your process after you see something like that? 1292 01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,880 Speaker 12: Yeah, well, finally good one to talk about. And a 1293 01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:26,080 Speaker 12: lot of times from our perspective, we can really see 1294 01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:29,320 Speaker 12: some of these things going, and it's probably uh wins 1295 01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,800 Speaker 12: to how important it is to have regulated sports betting 1296 01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:33,920 Speaker 12: as opposed. 1297 01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:34,240 Speaker 4: To off stores. 1298 01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,479 Speaker 12: A lot of these things will get missed. The one 1299 01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,200 Speaker 12: with U or Tees. You know, we didn't offer that market, 1300 01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:41,960 Speaker 12: so I can't speak on what happened there, but in 1301 01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:45,760 Speaker 12: at least in the past, some things I've seen suspicious 1302 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,800 Speaker 12: wagers are usually actually pretty easy to point out. You 1303 01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:52,760 Speaker 12: know that that one with or Tees, you know, first pitch, 1304 01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:56,000 Speaker 12: third inning, that's probably a really low hold market. They 1305 01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,800 Speaker 12: probably only take a couple hundred bucks per bet. So 1306 01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:01,680 Speaker 12: suddenly you see a come through for a few thousand, 1307 01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,240 Speaker 12: and then you see what that pitch was. Suddenly that's 1308 01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,200 Speaker 12: gonna left some gears off in your head that hey, 1309 01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,760 Speaker 12: something is a bit off here. But we do just 1310 01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,600 Speaker 12: have general tracking that we can see, like normally this 1311 01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 12: this market will take X amount of dollars. So if 1312 01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 12: we start seeing a lot more action, all right, you know, 1313 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,360 Speaker 12: maybe something's a bit suspicious here, and we'll start to 1314 01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:21,120 Speaker 12: look into it to see, okay, was this just a 1315 01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:23,400 Speaker 12: regular bet or you know, maybe is there something here? 1316 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,760 Speaker 12: And we have flags that we can send to It 1317 01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,520 Speaker 12: sends to a third party site. 1318 01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:29,800 Speaker 4: If we say, hey, we're. 1319 01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,760 Speaker 12: Flagging this game, they'll then flag it across other sportsbooks 1320 01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:34,560 Speaker 12: and I suddenly we all see kind of the same 1321 01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:38,120 Speaker 12: action going on. I think that's when suddenly, you know, 1322 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:39,560 Speaker 12: other people get involved. 1323 01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:44,520 Speaker 4: Christian, let me ask you, right now or early July, 1324 01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:48,560 Speaker 4: people really aren't focused. They may be thinking about it, 1325 01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:52,720 Speaker 4: but they're not focused on NFL. But however, us three 1326 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:57,120 Speaker 4: guys part of the Schwartz syndicate here, we are thinking 1327 01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:00,760 Speaker 4: about some futures and I'll bet a lot of these 1328 01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,440 Speaker 4: futures now into a softer market. I've been doing it 1329 01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:05,880 Speaker 4: for months. Actually actually traveled all the way down to 1330 01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,760 Speaker 4: Florida because for some reason they had openers up early. 1331 01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:11,600 Speaker 4: But let me ask you, are you guys getting a 1332 01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:15,960 Speaker 4: percentage anymore or any less than you would normally get 1333 01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,600 Speaker 4: that you think thinking about the NFL and betting these 1334 01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:22,720 Speaker 4: these futures and betting you know, season wins or to 1335 01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:24,720 Speaker 4: win the super Bowl, or win the playoffs or whatever 1336 01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 4: it may be, to win divisions or is it no, 1337 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 4: they'll come in more closer to first game regular season. Yeah, 1338 01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:32,920 Speaker 4: this is. 1339 01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,440 Speaker 12: The part where this part of the season is quiet 1340 01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,040 Speaker 12: and we won't take a ton of action up until 1341 01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,440 Speaker 12: training camp starts. And once training camp starts and you'll 1342 01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:43,240 Speaker 12: start here and you know, coach talk about this player, 1343 01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,520 Speaker 12: and you know, we'll see some clips out there, and 1344 01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:50,120 Speaker 12: suddenly players will start start to bet on teams that 1345 01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:53,320 Speaker 12: they see through that. So until that starts against pretty quiet. 1346 01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:54,960 Speaker 12: This is where from us as a training team, we 1347 01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:57,560 Speaker 12: start to put our focus into just getting in many 1348 01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:01,120 Speaker 12: props and different types of unique bets can out because 1349 01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,800 Speaker 12: it will be quiet. And then suddenly once those training 1350 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,400 Speaker 12: camps start, we start getting videos and stuff. That's when 1351 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,720 Speaker 12: that's when it'll start to least escalate a little bit. 1352 01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,080 Speaker 12: And then the the two three weeks leading up to 1353 01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,240 Speaker 12: the season, that's when you know most of it will happen. 1354 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:17,880 Speaker 5: It's interesting all that you offer for each team Christian 1355 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:21,919 Speaker 5: on Let's say NFL season win totals right where it's 1356 01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:26,080 Speaker 5: not just your standard. Hey, well, the Ravens win over 1357 01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 5: or under eleven and a half games, you could go 1358 01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:31,680 Speaker 5: over or under nine and a half or seven and 1359 01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:34,240 Speaker 5: a half or thirteen and a half, fifteen and a half. 1360 01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:39,080 Speaker 5: How much action do you see on those, you know, 1361 01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:42,840 Speaker 5: alt win totals, And have you had any bets that 1362 01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:46,040 Speaker 5: have you know, like opened your eyeballs, like, whoa, that's 1363 01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,480 Speaker 5: a that's a bold move to go under you know 1364 01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:49,920 Speaker 5: whatever over whatever? 1365 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,080 Speaker 2: Has that happened to you this offseason so far? 1366 01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,080 Speaker 12: Yeah, so right now we only have a couple of 1367 01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:57,280 Speaker 12: those up. The next couple of weeks will start getting 1368 01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:58,920 Speaker 12: a lot more of those also, and we even end 1369 01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:02,080 Speaker 12: up offering exact regular season wins. So if you want 1370 01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 12: to sit there and say exactly twelve, usually get a 1371 01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:08,880 Speaker 12: pretty good number for those prices. Yeah, so we haven't 1372 01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:10,880 Speaker 12: seen I wouldn't say we've seen anything crazy yet, but 1373 01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,480 Speaker 12: I have seen like right now the toy lines to 1374 01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:15,920 Speaker 12: miss the playoffs is taking more money than to make 1375 01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:18,360 Speaker 12: the playoffs. I feel like that's one that's a little 1376 01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 12: bit interesting, one that you wouldn't really expect. You know, 1377 01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,880 Speaker 12: we'll always see some weird ones. Last year, I remember 1378 01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,840 Speaker 12: there was a lot of people betting against the Bills, 1379 01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:32,000 Speaker 12: but on a far end of the spectrum. So some 1380 01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,080 Speaker 12: people I saw took them like under five and a 1381 01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,760 Speaker 12: half wins. I do remember having a lot on that, 1382 01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,920 Speaker 12: but that was fortunate. We didn't have to worry about 1383 01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:40,520 Speaker 12: that at all. 1384 01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:43,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, we do spend a lot of time on pro 1385 01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:46,919 Speaker 6: sports and pro football, but we are college football guys. 1386 01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,760 Speaker 6: Have you seen any futures in college football get hit 1387 01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:54,120 Speaker 6: particularly hard so far? Any championship wagers or any any 1388 01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:55,400 Speaker 6: overts for the most part. 1389 01:07:57,640 --> 01:07:59,600 Speaker 12: Yeah, so from the same vein, like this is the 1390 01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:01,760 Speaker 12: part of the college football season where you know it 1391 01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:04,320 Speaker 12: is also a little bit quiet. The most fat we've 1392 01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,960 Speaker 12: had team so far is the favorite, which is Texas. 1393 01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:11,040 Speaker 12: Outside of that, of how States taken a good amount 1394 01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:15,600 Speaker 12: of bets, but really from that it's been actually pretty 1395 01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:17,679 Speaker 12: stable in it. I can't see any teams looking here 1396 01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,519 Speaker 12: that are anything. Florida would be the team. I'd say 1397 01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:23,599 Speaker 12: it's like the outside team that we've taken. The amount 1398 01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,439 Speaker 12: of faction in Florida actually looking at this now is 1399 01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:29,840 Speaker 12: our biggest liability three to one? Now Yeah for the championship. 1400 01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:34,919 Speaker 6: Yeah, people like throwing away money, all right, I mean logways, 1401 01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:36,920 Speaker 6: he can be good, but like to win a chance. 1402 01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:39,599 Speaker 6: You think about the championship people, I don't think i've 1403 01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:44,160 Speaker 6: figured out yet. Is you have to win three, four 1404 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,120 Speaker 6: or five of Asia Championship game, Like you have to 1405 01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,320 Speaker 6: win these games in a row. Teams are not like 1406 01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:51,040 Speaker 6: four teams are built to win that many games a 1407 01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:51,839 Speaker 6: row in college. 1408 01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:55,400 Speaker 12: Football, right, yeah, exactly. With this new playoff structure, it's 1409 01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,240 Speaker 12: it's going to be a lot more difficult. You have 1410 01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,960 Speaker 12: to have to get lucky in so many different ways, 1411 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:01,680 Speaker 12: you know, for a long shot to suddenly get there. 1412 01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,400 Speaker 12: Even though now they have more of an opportunity, you know, 1413 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:06,000 Speaker 12: it's just going to be like you said, you have 1414 01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:08,680 Speaker 12: to pile and wins late in the season when everyone's uh, 1415 01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:09,840 Speaker 12: you know, trying. 1416 01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:14,519 Speaker 4: Trying at that point, Christian tell the people listening, uh, 1417 01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:17,719 Speaker 4: some of the inner workings of a sports book, especially 1418 01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:22,120 Speaker 4: I'll use on a Sunday morning NFL season. Is there 1419 01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:25,200 Speaker 4: one or two people that follow all the NFL straight 1420 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:28,519 Speaker 4: bets and decide to move. Is it one or two 1421 01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,639 Speaker 4: people that just just their only job is to handle 1422 01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:35,160 Speaker 4: the prop bets and when someone like a Bill Krachenburger bets, 1423 01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:38,720 Speaker 4: you know, make sure you move, you know. Or is 1424 01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:41,120 Speaker 4: it or is it not just on volume, whether we'll 1425 01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:44,720 Speaker 4: have the whole team gets involved, or is it individuals 1426 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,800 Speaker 4: I've been privy to some of the inner workings of 1427 01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:51,040 Speaker 4: some sports books, and I was really pretty surprised how 1428 01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:53,719 Speaker 4: where I was. Anyway, I've seen they had one guy. 1429 01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:56,519 Speaker 4: All he handled was NFL prop bet That's the only 1430 01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,640 Speaker 4: thing he handled was the prop bets that day and 1431 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,559 Speaker 4: that was his job or or is it different at 1432 01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:05,040 Speaker 4: that MGM, if you could say. 1433 01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,200 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean at this point now with the amount 1434 01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,360 Speaker 12: of prop betting that happens, just having one person on 1435 01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:13,080 Speaker 12: that would be pretty tough. Definitely, back in the day 1436 01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,720 Speaker 12: that was you know, more we had one person could 1437 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:18,240 Speaker 12: be able to handle that, But now that's a lot tougher, 1438 01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:21,160 Speaker 12: as you mentioned. Yet, we have a giant red flag 1439 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:24,920 Speaker 12: button alert that goes off anytime Bill crackenber her bets. Yeah, 1440 01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:28,240 Speaker 12: so ready to go there. But no, normally kind of 1441 01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:31,280 Speaker 12: what we'll have is, uh, you know, if you're working 1442 01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,559 Speaker 12: in this job, in this industry, you're not ever going 1443 01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:36,880 Speaker 12: to have a Sunday morning off. So we'll put kind 1444 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:39,680 Speaker 12: of more people just on specific games, so you know, 1445 01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:42,240 Speaker 12: that way they have the entire function of that game.

He's been one of 1592 01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:48,160 Speaker 4: the most dominant strikeout pitchers this season. The Guardians have 1593 01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:51,080 Speaker 4: been terribly lately, losing nine in a row. This is 1594 01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,920 Speaker 4: a nightmare matchup for them. School Bill had thirteen k's 1595 01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:57,120 Speaker 4: versus Cleveland earlier this season.

The Sky played defense 1603 01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:21,880 Speaker 6: against no one. I think you actually take the team 1604 01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:25,960 Speaker 6: total over for the Links as well, when it's times. 1605 01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,360 Speaker 2: Eighteen and a half. 1606 01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:28,040 Speaker 6: I believe the last I checked Bryant, which is a 1607 01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:31,080 Speaker 6: super high number for the WNBA. But after last night 1608 01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:33,160 Speaker 6: when they didn't get over right, that was like a 1609 01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:37,960 Speaker 6: freak fourth quarter when no one scored. I like Collier today. 1610 01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:41,200 Speaker 6: She was great last night, twenty two points last night 1611 01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:43,240 Speaker 6: as well on the back to back, but she's had 1612 01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:46,800 Speaker 6: twenty two, twenty eight, twelve, that weird Commissioner's Cup, twenty 1613 01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,280 Speaker 6: three twenty six, so four of her last five games 1614 01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:52,040 Speaker 6: she's been over she was scoring machine. And again the 1615 01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:53,400 Speaker 6: Sky don't really play any defense. 1616 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:54,320 Speaker 4: There you go. 1617 01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:57,599 Speaker 5: I'm gonna stick with the WNBA as well.

So I'll go with Nekka. 1622 01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:14,759 Speaker 5: It's six and a half. We got to get seven 1623 01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:18,600 Speaker 5: rebounds minus a dollar thirty five. Not heavy juice, but 1624 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,640 Speaker 5: I like Nekka today to get over six and a 1625 01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,920 Speaker 5: half rebounds. I wouldn't be surprised if if mag mcgore 1626 01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:27,200 Speaker 5: goes over six and a half as well. Last time 1627 01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:30,519 Speaker 5: they played, they both went over, So you don't. You 1628 01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:33,320 Speaker 5: just don't have the same presence down low for the 1629 01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:36,120 Speaker 5: Liberty without John Quell, like Stewie's doing her things. 1630 01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:38,400 Speaker 2: Do we will get do we might go over as well? 1631 01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:40,280 Speaker 5: She's at seven and a half. That's something else to 1632 01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:44,799 Speaker 5: keep your eye on. But yeah, they're vulnerable. The Liberty 1633 01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:46,880 Speaker 5: are on the board. So I'll ride with Neka to 1634 01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:48,479 Speaker 5: go over six and a half rebounds. 1635 01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:54,760 Speaker 6: I uh, looking forward to the accidents.

Is there a special reason today, Brian, 1641 01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:11,560 Speaker 6: why they just are playing all day today, not the 1642 01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:12,560 Speaker 6: normal schedule. 1643 01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:15,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be, could be like a. 1644 01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:19,559 Speaker 6: Baseball It's about time I constantly get on baseball's space 1645 01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:22,240 Speaker 6: because they don't take advantage of these standalone situations where 1646 01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:25,600 Speaker 6: they are the sport and they don't do this thing 1647 01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:28,000 Speaker 6: where they go eleven thirty all the way up to 1648 01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:31,080 Speaker 6: the night. It's at one o'clock, four o'clock the NFL Sunday. 1649 01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:33,719 Speaker 6: So I like this for baseball we have with my Giants, 1650 01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:34,840 Speaker 6: just trying to not stink it up. 1651 01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:37,439 Speaker 2: I like that I finally get to see the Giants. 1652 01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:40,639 Speaker 5: Because Vegas is the best and worst place to watch 1653 01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:46,320 Speaker 5: sporting events. Everything, everything, everything West Coast is blacked right 1654 01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:53,320 Speaker 5: national televised game. I see the Giants again. You know, 1655 01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:55,240 Speaker 5: I was betting on them yesterday. I couldn't even watch 1656 01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:59,599 Speaker 5: It's go Yeah, and I went to a sports bar 1657 01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:01,599 Speaker 5: they anything happened ruin Wow. 1658 01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:05,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's crazy crazy Yeah. All right. 1659 01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:09,040 Speaker 5: Coming up next, we've got two quarterbacks. Is this a 1660 01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:13,240 Speaker 5: silly or a smart comparison?

I'm curious if you guys 1677 01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:02,720 Speaker 5: think it makes sense or you think it's a little 1678 01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:07,679 Speaker 5: bit silly. So I keep hearing Jaden Daniels, the Washington 1679 01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:12,200 Speaker 5: Commander's quarterback, compared to c J. Stroud, the Texans quarterback, 1680 01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:17,479 Speaker 5: and the tie in is, Hey, c J. Stroud, great 1681 01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:23,120 Speaker 5: rookie season, and then year two last year not so good. 1682 01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:27,160 Speaker 5: Is that what's gonna happen to Jaden Daniels Or that's 1683 01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:30,360 Speaker 5: what's gonna happen to Jaden Daniels. I don't look at 1684 01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:33,559 Speaker 5: it that way. I think they have completely different supporting casts. 1685 01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:37,160 Speaker 5: I think they have two completely different styles. I don't 1686 01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:39,800 Speaker 5: think that they're the same guy. I don't think they're 1687 01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:45,800 Speaker 5: that close stylistically and supporting cast wise, there are obvious differences. 1688 01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:49,120 Speaker 5: One of the biggest ones is the Texans offensive line 1689 01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:49,799 Speaker 5: pretty leaky. 1690 01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:50,760 Speaker 4: You know. C J. 1691 01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,559 Speaker 5: Stroud's gotten sacked a ton and he's not a guy 1692 01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:56,760 Speaker 5: who moves around like Jaden Daniels does. And by the way, 1693 01:22:57,120 --> 01:23:01,320 Speaker 5: Washington picked up Laramie Tunzel, who's a four Texans left tackle, 1694 01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:05,000 Speaker 5: so weekends detect and zol line strengthens Washington zone line. 1695 01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:06,320 Speaker 2: What do you make of this, Jeff? 1696 01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:09,160 Speaker 5: Do you think this is a smart or silly comparison 1697 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:12,759 Speaker 5: between the two quarterbacks and being skeptical of Jayden Daniels 1698 01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,639 Speaker 5: in year two because year two wasn't great for CJ. 1699 01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:16,160 Speaker 2: Stroud. 1700 01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:22,120 Speaker 6: I think people really not want the Commanders to struggle, 1701 01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:24,560 Speaker 6: but think a sophomore slump is going to happen, just 1702 01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,920 Speaker 6: because that's what happens sometimes in the NFL, not all 1703 01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:30,240 Speaker 6: the time, just sometimes, and last year it happened with Stroud. 1704 01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:33,920 Speaker 6: But they're just very different offenses, Like just from an 1705 01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:39,439 Speaker 6: ex nos perspective, right, like the Houston offense that terrible 1706 01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:41,560 Speaker 6: offensive line and made no adjustments like that was what 1707 01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:44,720 Speaker 6: It's sort of a Shanahan offensive problem. I'm not saying 1708 01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:47,959 Speaker 6: the Niners had this a little bit, but that offense 1709 01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:53,720 Speaker 6: doesn't allow quarterbacks very often to make strategic changes the 1710 01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:56,200 Speaker 6: line of scrimmage do you call it and you run it? 1711 01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:58,479 Speaker 6: And they got Houston to a lot of problems last 1712 01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:03,640 Speaker 6: season offensively that injuries at wide receiver. Washington is not 1713 01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:06,400 Speaker 6: at all like that offense. That's a much different offense. 1714 01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:09,639 Speaker 6: And I have ragged on Cliff Kingsbury over the years. 1715 01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:11,880 Speaker 6: I think he has not been a good coach, but 1716 01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:14,360 Speaker 6: last year he did a great job. He actually got 1717 01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:16,799 Speaker 6: better as a coach. For all the years at Kingsbury, 1718 01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:19,360 Speaker 6: it's been the same second half of the season now 1719 01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:21,040 Speaker 6: is good. The first half of the season and we 1720 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:23,080 Speaker 6: thought it was going in that direction. Remember Daniels hurt 1721 01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:24,760 Speaker 6: his ribs a little bit, and they came back and 1722 01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:26,679 Speaker 6: wasn't very good, and all of a sudden they boom. 1723 01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:29,880 Speaker 6: They turned on another year. The Washington offense just is 1724 01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:33,040 Speaker 6: better situated to continue to play well. Now it's gonna 1725 01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:36,920 Speaker 6: be the same player year too. I don't know, but 1726 01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:40,080 Speaker 6: I don't think it's fair to compare what happened to 1727 01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:42,559 Speaker 6: Houston with their offense and their personnel and what they 1728 01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:46,160 Speaker 6: had going on and then Washington. I also think Daniels 1729 01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:52,360 Speaker 6: is a more sudden player than Shroud. Right, he's a 1730 01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:55,680 Speaker 6: different player. Right, Straw could throw the ball. But the 1731 01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:58,560 Speaker 6: suddenness with with Daniel plays. Being able to use his 1732 01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:02,040 Speaker 6: legs as Washington does, allows him to get out of 1733 01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:04,560 Speaker 6: a lot of bad situations where he doesn't have that 1734 01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:06,960 Speaker 6: Like if you're struggling. You know what works when you're 1735 01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,160 Speaker 6: struggling a quarterback run, It just does you have an 1736 01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:14,040 Speaker 6: extra blocker. Defense is sometimes gets out of a lane 1737 01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:15,720 Speaker 6: all of a sudden boom, You've had a tough day. 1738 01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:19,280 Speaker 6: Run in the football quarterback fifty yards, like just those 1739 01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:22,479 Speaker 6: options are available, just doesn't do that. So to me, 1740 01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:24,479 Speaker 6: it's not fair to compare them other than just saying, well, 1741 01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:26,720 Speaker 6: this guy struggled. I don't think Strut will be as 1742 01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:29,640 Speaker 6: good as you Daniels be. He's good this season. I 1743 01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:32,120 Speaker 6: think he's a struggle with struggle. I don't see that comparison. 1744 01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:37,360 Speaker 4: Crack. Yeah, I think it's normal to think that you 1745 01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:40,080 Speaker 4: could see a little regression for Daniels like we did 1746 01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:43,920 Speaker 4: with Stroud last year. Daniel's playbook was very limited, so 1747 01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:47,240 Speaker 4: there'll be a little bit of learning of a learning 1748 01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:51,120 Speaker 4: curve there, and also teams that have more tape on 1749 01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:53,840 Speaker 4: them with the Commanders, so maybe the defenses will be 1750 01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:56,240 Speaker 4: a little tougher on him. So he is a pure 1751 01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:58,360 Speaker 4: athlete though, so I don't see him having too much 1752 01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:01,600 Speaker 4: of a regression this season. And now you know they 1753 01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:05,240 Speaker 4: added Debo, so who can really help the Commanders if 1754 01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:09,960 Speaker 4: he's healthy and motivated. The biggest problem I have, you know, 1755 01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:16,880 Speaker 4: is I just think that people in general, like I 1756 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,240 Speaker 4: want the guy to do well. I like him. I 1757 01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:20,760 Speaker 4: actually like him. He came out of nowhere. I see 1758 01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:23,240 Speaker 4: him that first Monday night football game. I have to 1759 01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:26,599 Speaker 4: admit it, I didn't pay a lot of attention to him. 1760 01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:28,479 Speaker 4: I think it was a Monday night or Sunday night game. 1761 01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:32,120 Speaker 4: I said, Wow, this kid is really good. I liked 1762 01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,000 Speaker 4: that he was throwing his body in there. And I 1763 01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:35,680 Speaker 4: was like, even though you know a lot of of 1764 01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:38,240 Speaker 4: course his coaches and stuff probably don't want him going 1765 01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:40,640 Speaker 4: head first and stuff, but I said, wow, this kid 1766 01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:43,960 Speaker 4: is really good. So I'm rooting for him though. I 1767 01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:46,760 Speaker 4: have a good season to come back, and you know, 1768 01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:51,519 Speaker 4: I know what happened they said with Shroud, But I 1769 01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,400 Speaker 4: don't know. Daniels may be a better athlete. 1770 01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:56,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's I don't know why we act 1771 01:26:57,160 --> 01:26:58,320 Speaker 2: like c J. 1772 01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:02,160 Speaker 5: Stroud is we act like this is a common thing 1773 01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:05,280 Speaker 5: that you have a really good rookie season and then boom, 1774 01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:07,920 Speaker 5: you just fall off, and that's just commonplace. 1775 01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:09,960 Speaker 2: There are many times where. 1776 01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,680 Speaker 5: A quarterback plays really well his rookie season and he 1777 01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:17,080 Speaker 5: doesn't greatly fall off in his sophomore season, like Justin 1778 01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:19,519 Speaker 5: Herbert would be a good example of this. Justin Herbert 1779 01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:22,519 Speaker 5: through the most touchdown passes for any rookie in the 1780 01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:24,920 Speaker 5: history of the NFL. When he's a rookie through thirty 1781 01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:28,320 Speaker 5: one touchdown passes, the next year his numbers are better. 1782 01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:32,000 Speaker 5: He went from roughly forty three hundred yards passing to 1783 01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:35,160 Speaker 5: over five thousand yards passing his second season. He threw 1784 01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:38,760 Speaker 5: thirty eight touchdown passes his second season. His passer rating 1785 01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:42,639 Speaker 5: is virtually the same. So this idea that, oh man, 1786 01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:45,719 Speaker 5: we've seen this time and time and time and time. 1787 01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:46,720 Speaker 2: Again, just like c J. 1788 01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:49,320 Speaker 5: Stroud, where this guy has a special rookie season and 1789 01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:53,280 Speaker 5: then falls off his second year. I just think it's overstated. 1790 01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:56,400 Speaker 5: We're acting like CJ. Stroud what happened to him in 1791 01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:59,240 Speaker 5: his first two years. That's happened all the time, like 1792 01:27:59,479 --> 01:28:02,760 Speaker 5: just consiststantly, And that's not true. There are many quarterbacks 1793 01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:05,400 Speaker 5: that have success as a rookie. They don't fall off 1794 01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:07,519 Speaker 5: in year two. I don't think Jaden Daniels is falling 1795 01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:10,160 Speaker 5: off when you look at him and what he brings 1796 01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:10,799 Speaker 5: to the table. 1797 01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:13,600 Speaker 2: Feel is a big part of it. 1798 01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:17,000 Speaker 5: You know, we talk about accuracy a lot, and that's 1799 01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:21,160 Speaker 5: obviously very important, but having a feel when you are, 1800 01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:25,479 Speaker 5: you know, a thrower and a runner, as Jaden Daniels is, 1801 01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:28,040 Speaker 5: you have to have a feel for that. Am I 1802 01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:31,200 Speaker 5: extending this play and looking to throw or is this 1803 01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:33,160 Speaker 5: the time to tuck it and run and get what 1804 01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:36,800 Speaker 5: I can get? And he had an extraordinary feel for 1805 01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:40,000 Speaker 5: that his rookie season. I don't see that just going away. 1806 01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:43,720 Speaker 5: And I don't see how Washington's supporting cast. You know, 1807 01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:47,160 Speaker 5: if they had all these free agency departures and all 1808 01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:49,479 Speaker 5: these injuries late in the season that are going to 1809 01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:51,639 Speaker 5: affect him this year, that'd be one that's not what's 1810 01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:55,280 Speaker 5: happening here. If anything, they've strengthened the supporting cast. What 1811 01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:57,559 Speaker 5: some of the things that Krack said with getting Debo 1812 01:28:57,720 --> 01:29:01,400 Speaker 5: over there, Deanmi Brown, Like you get debo for Diami Brown. 1813 01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:04,479 Speaker 5: I think that's advantage Washington right there. So I don't 1814 01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:07,599 Speaker 5: see a falloff. And I've heard it so often. It's 1815 01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:10,639 Speaker 5: just like, guys, they're not the same quarterback. Just because 1816 01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:13,759 Speaker 5: CJ fell off doesn't mean Jaden Daniels is going to also. 1817 01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:18,759 Speaker 6: I think again, other than just wanting the talking point 1818 01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:22,640 Speaker 6: of he's out a sophomore slump, there's no evidence to 1819 01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:26,120 Speaker 6: that they're different players. They're playing different offense. They look 1820 01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:29,920 Speaker 6: the division is hard, right, Like they Commanders might lose 1821 01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:33,000 Speaker 6: the Eagles one, to lose the Cowboys and lose them. 1822 01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:35,720 Speaker 6: They might happen because they're playing in a tough division. Yeah, 1823 01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:38,120 Speaker 6: but that doesn't mean that Daniels is going to be worse. 1824 01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:38,640 Speaker 4: I like. 1825 01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:40,960 Speaker 6: I just I like the way Daniels is, just his makeup. 1826 01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:42,960 Speaker 6: I like, there's a lot of things about Daniels that 1827 01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:48,280 Speaker 6: I really I like what he I'm not saying I 1828 01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:50,280 Speaker 6: don't like Stroup. I think Daniels. I've watched them for 1829 01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:52,680 Speaker 6: years at the PAC twelve, in LSU, everywhere he's been, 1830 01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:55,000 Speaker 6: he's been good. He has won. I think he'll continue 1831 01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:55,879 Speaker 6: to win in Washington. 1832 01:29:56,720 --> 01:29:59,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too, man, I think he's got the goods. 1833 01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:02,680 Speaker 5: By the way, a Fox Sports they put together a 1834 01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:06,120 Speaker 5: list of the top ten NFL quarterbacks heading into the 1835 01:30:06,200 --> 01:30:08,160 Speaker 5: twenty twenty five season, and. 1836 01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:10,920 Speaker 2: You know, you know me, you can imagine I'm off 1837 01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:11,400 Speaker 2: and running. 1838 01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:13,920 Speaker 5: I'm like this guy over that guy, you know, And 1839 01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,479 Speaker 5: then I paused for a second, and I'm like, I'm 1840 01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:19,920 Speaker 5: curious what Crack thinks about this, you know, like from 1841 01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:24,040 Speaker 5: a betting perspective, Crack like, certainly these quarterbacks and where 1842 01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:27,200 Speaker 5: you slot them in the order that can affect which 1843 01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:29,760 Speaker 5: teams you're betting on, which teams you're fading on a 1844 01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:32,160 Speaker 5: particular NFL Sunday, So it matters. 1845 01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:36,040 Speaker 2: But I mean, when you approach this from a betting perspective. 1846 01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:38,639 Speaker 5: I could just anticipate where you're like, all right, here's 1847 01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:40,400 Speaker 5: my top ten, and it's it's not the end of 1848 01:30:40,439 --> 01:30:42,360 Speaker 5: the world if you've got this guy seven and this 1849 01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:45,640 Speaker 5: guy ninth, right, Like, how do you think of a 1850 01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:48,080 Speaker 5: top ten quarterback list when they come out like this 1851 01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:49,200 Speaker 5: every single season? 1852 01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:51,320 Speaker 4: So now let me ask you something, Brow, Do you 1853 01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:53,600 Speaker 4: want to announce the top ten? Are you starting to 1854 01:30:53,640 --> 01:30:55,760 Speaker 4: do it? I can do it. Announce the top ten 1855 01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:57,280 Speaker 4: with Fox come up with here. 1856 01:30:57,479 --> 01:30:58,479 Speaker 2: Okay, Fox came up. 1857 01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:02,000 Speaker 5: It's, you know, the top ten heading into the twenty 1858 01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:05,160 Speaker 5: twenty five season. That's important, like as is right now. 1859 01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:08,120 Speaker 5: This is how they see it. So one, they had 1860 01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:15,080 Speaker 5: Josh Allen, followed by mahomes Lamar Burrow, Jalen Hurts number five, 1861 01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:20,960 Speaker 5: then Goth Baker, Mayfield, Justin, Herbert eighth, Jaden Daniels ninth, 1862 01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:22,439 Speaker 5: Dak Prescott tenth. 1863 01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:24,080 Speaker 2: That's the list they came up with. 1864 01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:26,560 Speaker 4: Yep. The biggest problem I have with this list is 1865 01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:29,200 Speaker 4: probably Baker at number seven. I mean, he's had a 1866 01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:33,280 Speaker 4: couple of good years in Tampa, but he's probably trending 1867 01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:35,400 Speaker 4: down towards the tail end of his career. When you 1868 01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:38,879 Speaker 4: have Herbert Daniels that have yet to reach their peaks, 1869 01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:42,880 Speaker 4: you have some they mentioned They mentioned them here as 1870 01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:50,640 Speaker 4: honorable mentions, Stafford Purdy, Love Stroud, Murray bo Nicks. I. 1871 01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:52,960 Speaker 4: You know, I don't know if Baker should be in 1872 01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:56,000 Speaker 4: that top ten, but I have no problem with with 1873 01:31:56,120 --> 01:32:00,920 Speaker 4: the list itself. You know, even though Burrow at number 1874 01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:03,840 Speaker 4: four here, it just seems like he's been hurt. It 1875 01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:06,960 Speaker 4: just seems like he hasn't really played up to his 1876 01:32:07,080 --> 01:32:09,960 Speaker 4: potential either me. He yeah, he may be a number four, 1877 01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:12,280 Speaker 4: Like maybe I would put him down a little bit 1878 01:32:12,320 --> 01:32:15,720 Speaker 4: more on the list, but you know, maybe we just 1879 01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:20,479 Speaker 4: haven't seen his full potential of a player there. Like 1880 01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:24,479 Speaker 4: I like, I I'm gonna probably put Hurts, you know, 1881 01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:29,400 Speaker 4: above him on the list, and just Daniels just just 1882 01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:32,479 Speaker 4: to be there, I guess in the at this time 1883 01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:36,280 Speaker 4: of his career after only a year or so, that's great, Dak. 1884 01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:38,639 Speaker 4: I don't know. Yeah, Well, I tell you you look 1885 01:32:38,680 --> 01:32:40,760 Speaker 4: at the money these guys got to. Some of these 1886 01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:45,640 Speaker 4: guys got ridiculous contracts, and they just after they got 1887 01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:48,519 Speaker 4: that big money, they just didn't play like they were 1888 01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:51,760 Speaker 4: worth the money, a few of these guys. So, I mean, 1889 01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:54,840 Speaker 4: if anything, I think Mahomes should his contract should be 1890 01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:58,519 Speaker 4: redone throw out the super Bowl. But you know, he's 1891 01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:01,439 Speaker 4: had this past super Bowl, He's had an unbelievable career. 1892 01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:04,120 Speaker 4: He should probably be the highest quarterback and paid quarterback 1893 01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:04,639 Speaker 4: in football. 1894 01:33:05,439 --> 01:33:08,240 Speaker 5: Interesting, what's your biggest beef with that, Jeff? You got 1895 01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:10,320 Speaker 5: anything in the top ten agreement? 1896 01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:13,160 Speaker 6: Like who would replace Dak Prescott at ten? I just 1897 01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:15,679 Speaker 6: I don't view him as a top ten quarterback. The problems. 1898 01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:16,800 Speaker 6: I don't really know who that would be. 1899 01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:19,360 Speaker 2: I'd take Stafford. I don't know how you can have 1900 01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:20,240 Speaker 2: oh Stafford. 1901 01:33:20,320 --> 01:33:22,599 Speaker 6: Yeah, I look at the starting quarterback. Stafford is better 1902 01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:25,880 Speaker 6: than Dak Prescott. That's it's a good call the list. 1903 01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:29,040 Speaker 6: Otherwise Field, I mean, Jordan Love probably should be up there. 1904 01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:34,240 Speaker 6: He's probably about ten right in that discussion. I mean, 1905 01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:36,400 Speaker 6: Kra's a good point about Bak. I just look at 1906 01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:40,040 Speaker 6: the golf thing. I don't he's not the six best quarterback. 1907 01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:42,400 Speaker 6: I know there's a difference between like production and talent. 1908 01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:46,200 Speaker 6: Sometimes I think Herbert's better than golf. I just wouldn't 1909 01:33:46,200 --> 01:33:49,600 Speaker 6: put golf at six ahead of ahead of Herbert. The 1910 01:33:49,720 --> 01:33:52,040 Speaker 6: top feels about right. The thing about Joe Burrow is 1911 01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:55,240 Speaker 6: if they had a defense, we looked that much differently. 1912 01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:57,280 Speaker 6: I feel like it's in fact they don't have a defense. 1913 01:33:58,040 --> 01:34:01,120 Speaker 6: They had a defense, he'd be like, wow, that don't 1914 01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:04,560 Speaker 6: have a defense. So it really throws off how you 1915 01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:09,479 Speaker 6: feel about Joe Burrow my opinion. 1916 01:34:10,320 --> 01:34:15,040 Speaker 5: I'm still bullish about the amnesia that many have about 1917 01:34:15,120 --> 01:34:19,600 Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes, like he's still the number one quarterback in 1918 01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:23,240 Speaker 5: the NFL, and I don't you know stutter when I 1919 01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:27,040 Speaker 5: say that he was freaking terrible in the first half 1920 01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:30,120 Speaker 5: of the Super Bowl against the Eagles, and that absolutely matters, 1921 01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:33,320 Speaker 5: But let's not act like that's the only thing on 1922 01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:37,880 Speaker 5: his resume. It's getting ridiculous. Like the playmaker that he is, 1923 01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:40,600 Speaker 5: the creativity, the athleticism, the field. 1924 01:34:40,360 --> 01:34:40,880 Speaker 2: That he has. 1925 01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:44,120 Speaker 5: Think about he's got Josh. They've got Josh Allen above 1926 01:34:44,200 --> 01:34:47,160 Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes. And Josh Allen is a fine quarterback. But 1927 01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:50,240 Speaker 5: what has Josh Allen done in the playoffs? Exactly Like, 1928 01:34:50,320 --> 01:34:53,679 Speaker 5: He's had some great individual performances, but the team hasn't 1929 01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:57,040 Speaker 5: even gotten to a Super Bowl. Mahomes has three rings. Jesus, 1930 01:34:57,160 --> 01:35:00,200 Speaker 5: why are we acting like we forgot about that he 1931 01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:04,840 Speaker 5: had thirteen seconds left against the Bills and somehow set 1932 01:35:04,880 --> 01:35:07,040 Speaker 5: them up for a field goal and then won in overtime. 1933 01:35:07,600 --> 01:35:11,800 Speaker 5: When the Niners got in overtime in the Super Bowl 1934 01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:14,800 Speaker 5: with the Chiefs and the Niners kicked a field goal, 1935 01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:18,880 Speaker 5: what did everybody think? They're you messed up? You don't 1936 01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:22,120 Speaker 5: think like that with any other quarterback than Mahomes. Ye, 1937 01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:24,760 Speaker 5: So how does your list start off with someone not 1938 01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:25,960 Speaker 5: named Mahomes? 1939 01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:27,000 Speaker 2: That's crazy to me. 1940 01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:30,400 Speaker 6: So I think this is a big year for Mahomes. 1941 01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:36,879 Speaker 6: So last year, guys, I only understand his offensive situation. 1942 01:35:37,080 --> 01:35:41,400 Speaker 6: So they played three left tackles last season, and including 1943 01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:44,360 Speaker 6: a guard who played left tackle, had been four left tackles. 1944 01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:47,000 Speaker 6: It was four four left tackles last season. Okay, they 1945 01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:52,559 Speaker 6: played Kingsey, Sue Matia, they played Wanya, then they signed 1946 01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:55,960 Speaker 6: Humphries and they played Tony. So four left tackles have 1947 01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:58,439 Speaker 6: won this year, maybe two. We'll see if Simon is 1948 01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:02,200 Speaker 6: healthy or not next year. If you recall, they started 1949 01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:05,759 Speaker 6: the season with Race she Rice being the number one target. 1950 01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:07,840 Speaker 6: He had almost thirty catches in three games. They got 1951 01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:10,320 Speaker 6: hurt in game four. The goal wasn't to have Travis 1952 01:36:10,439 --> 01:36:12,120 Speaker 6: Kelcey be number one last year, but it had to 1953 01:36:12,160 --> 01:36:16,559 Speaker 6: transition to that because she Rice got hurt. Xavier Worthy 1954 01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:18,400 Speaker 6: was a rookie last season. We saw the end of 1955 01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:21,559 Speaker 6: year one. The jump he made right takes a little 1956 01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:23,680 Speaker 6: bit of time as a rookie. Holler Brown was hurt 1957 01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:26,840 Speaker 6: almost the entire season. Guess who's all healthy and playing 1958 01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:29,880 Speaker 6: right now. All three of those guys are playing. They're 1959 01:36:29,920 --> 01:36:32,040 Speaker 6: ready to go day went now. Rice might be suspended 1960 01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:34,840 Speaker 6: at some point, but right now he's not. Plus they 1961 01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:38,320 Speaker 6: added a guy in the draft who they liked, but Chako. 1962 01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:41,479 Speaker 6: He figures healthy most of the season. Offensive lines better, 1963 01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:44,799 Speaker 6: So all of a sudden, you mentioned had much better offense. Defensively, 1964 01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:46,960 Speaker 6: they have to be average all they need on defense average, 1965 01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:49,920 Speaker 6: They're gonna be fine on defense. That's a better team, 1966 01:36:50,520 --> 01:36:53,760 Speaker 6: better offense, and people saying Mahomes can't play anymore, he 1967 01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:56,840 Speaker 6: checks down too much. All these things I think point 1968 01:36:56,880 --> 01:36:59,120 Speaker 6: in the direction of the Chiefs having sort of like 1969 01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:03,559 Speaker 6: not a revenge, but like like we're here to stay. 1970 01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:06,880 Speaker 6: And I do think Kelsey coming back for one more 1971 01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:12,000 Speaker 6: season is an eternal sign of we're going for this again. 1972 01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:14,519 Speaker 6: If Kelsey wasn't there, I think I feel much differently. Guys, 1973 01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:16,120 Speaker 6: I've said this before. I thought he was talking after 1974 01:37:16,160 --> 01:37:17,560 Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. I would have been out on the 1975 01:37:17,640 --> 01:37:20,479 Speaker 6: Chiefs this season. But they're still very very much an 1976 01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:24,000 Speaker 6: all in mode. Lastly, everyone points to the close games, 1977 01:37:24,200 --> 01:37:26,880 Speaker 6: and I get it. The record of close games tends 1978 01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:28,760 Speaker 6: to flip year to year. If you're bad one year, 1979 01:37:28,760 --> 01:37:31,240 Speaker 6: you're good the next year. But a lot of times 1980 01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:35,600 Speaker 6: that's like the game is close all game and just 1981 01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:38,400 Speaker 6: comes down to like the final couple of plays. A 1982 01:37:38,479 --> 01:37:41,040 Speaker 6: lot of the Chiefs close games are like they're up 1983 01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:43,400 Speaker 6: two touchdowns right right, and they just fall asleep in 1984 01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:46,120 Speaker 6: the you'll fall asleep in the second half, and like 1985 01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:48,599 Speaker 6: they win by three. You know, it's not that they're 1986 01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:51,040 Speaker 6: it's back and forth all game, and the Panthers lost 1987 01:37:51,120 --> 01:37:54,000 Speaker 6: by three, it's they're up twenty to six. Kind of 1988 01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:55,639 Speaker 6: didn't show up after half. I was at that game, 1989 01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:58,800 Speaker 6: didn't shop after halftime, kind of lollygagged. It was twenty 1990 01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:02,000 Speaker 6: seven night team. The Panther scorer went for two. There 1991 01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:04,599 Speaker 6: were three passer afferences in a row on defense. They 1992 01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:06,960 Speaker 6: finally get the two point version. I don't though the 1993 01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:09,920 Speaker 6: teams are gonna lose the game at any time, So 1994 01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:14,040 Speaker 6: that's my pro Chiefs take. I think they're gonna be 1995 01:38:14,120 --> 01:38:15,680 Speaker 6: right back where they were one or two seed. I 1996 01:38:15,720 --> 01:38:17,479 Speaker 6: think Buffalo is really good this year. I think Buffalo 1997 01:38:17,479 --> 01:38:19,040 Speaker 6: would be the one seed in my opinion. But the 1998 01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:20,800 Speaker 6: teams are back in the atw chanpiship game. I think 1999 01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:21,679 Speaker 6: for the eighth straight season. 2000 01:38:23,080 --> 01:38:26,360 Speaker 4: Guys believe I have to tell you I had a subject. 2001 01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:28,080 Speaker 4: But every time I think of something for this show 2002 01:38:28,240 --> 01:38:30,559 Speaker 4: or any of my shows, I go to my notepad 2003 01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:32,320 Speaker 4: and my iPhone. Put it in there for the future, 2004 01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:34,360 Speaker 4: and when I want to talk about it, I have 2005 01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:37,800 Speaker 4: to admit it. I had something for us for the 2006 01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:41,320 Speaker 4: week before preseason. I can't help myself. I'm too caught 2007 01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:43,519 Speaker 4: up at the moment.

What's good. 2080 01:42:02,920 --> 01:42:04,719 Speaker 5: So I think we're going to have an off season 2081 01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:10,600 Speaker 5: of hey, maybe this, maybe that. Some speculations, some trade possibilities. 2082 01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:14,719 Speaker 5: I don't expect anything to change. Man, Like Lebron would 2083 01:42:14,760 --> 01:42:18,800 Speaker 5: be too expensive, which is insane to say, because he's 2084 01:42:18,840 --> 01:42:21,840 Speaker 5: teammates right now with Luka Doncic, Like, you'd have to 2085 01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:25,880 Speaker 5: trade way more assets to get Lebron over forty years 2086 01:42:25,920 --> 01:42:30,240 Speaker 5: old than LA had to trade to get Luca, which 2087 01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:33,559 Speaker 5: is insanity, but that's the reality. You'd have to trade 2088 01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:35,759 Speaker 5: so many players to get Lebron right now, it wouldn't 2089 01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:38,240 Speaker 5: be worth doing it for a one year rental. So 2090 01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:40,960 Speaker 5: he's not going anywhere place. He's got a no trade clause. 2091 01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:44,160 Speaker 5: It's he's going to be in LA. I don't see 2092 01:42:44,160 --> 01:42:45,240 Speaker 5: this going any other way. 2093 01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:53,719 Speaker 6: So I think it's possible trade deadline. There's Lebron chatter, Brian, 2094 01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:56,599 Speaker 6: I think right now, there's not a couple of factors 2095 01:42:56,720 --> 01:42:59,920 Speaker 6: in the why. I think that's the case. You know, 2096 01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:03,639 Speaker 6: despite the Lakers getting DeAndre Aiden, they're not a championship 2097 01:43:03,680 --> 01:43:07,280 Speaker 6: caliber team, right They're not gonna win championship. And I 2098 01:43:07,320 --> 01:43:10,280 Speaker 6: could see Lebron and in the middle of the season 2099 01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:12,400 Speaker 6: team's not as good as he wants it to be, 2100 01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:14,800 Speaker 6: and he's just like, you know what, I want to 2101 01:43:14,840 --> 01:43:17,160 Speaker 6: win one more championship. Wi he has said, he's basically 2102 01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:20,560 Speaker 6: been very public about wanting to win. I can go 2103 01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:23,479 Speaker 6: somewhere to try to win a championship now, and you know, 2104 01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:25,799 Speaker 6: win a championship on a different team and semi legacy 2105 01:43:26,880 --> 01:43:28,960 Speaker 6: as sort of the guy who can bring, you know, 2106 01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:30,599 Speaker 6: bring a championship to the Knicks or so. I don't 2107 01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:34,920 Speaker 6: even know where he would go somewhere right Also, with 2108 01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:39,799 Speaker 6: the Lakers new ownership, there is no emotional connection to Lebron. 2109 01:43:40,479 --> 01:43:43,760 Speaker 6: They didn't sign him, they don't know him at all. 2110 01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:48,320 Speaker 6: There's no reason that they feel compelled to keep Lebron. 2111 01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:51,000 Speaker 6: I even argue the sooner they get rid of Lebron, 2112 01:43:51,560 --> 01:43:55,280 Speaker 6: the sooner, they could basically move on with their franchise. 2113 01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:57,760 Speaker 6: And it's their franchise now, and so I could see 2114 01:43:57,760 --> 01:44:00,560 Speaker 6: the ownership saying to Polenka and be like, hey, like, 2115 01:44:00,920 --> 01:44:02,880 Speaker 6: if we can get a deal, let's do it. The 2116 01:44:02,920 --> 01:44:06,120 Speaker 6: Lakers have almost we have almost no draft picks for 2117 01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:08,960 Speaker 6: the future. You know, they're locked in this sort of 2118 01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:12,120 Speaker 6: apron hell, I don't even know what you know with 2119 01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:14,360 Speaker 6: the second third apron. They're in a bad spot right now. 2120 01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:17,080 Speaker 6: With these salaries they're gonna have to pay Luca. I 2121 01:44:17,120 --> 01:44:19,519 Speaker 6: could see them saying, look, if we can get an 2122 01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:23,080 Speaker 6: offer that's that works for us mid season, we'll move 2123 01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:25,479 Speaker 6: off on Lebron Riley Lebron. But he won a championship, 2124 01:44:25,680 --> 01:44:28,800 Speaker 6: he brought that to LA and now it's time for 2125 01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:30,519 Speaker 6: it to be Lucas team, and let's get younger and 2126 01:44:30,600 --> 01:44:31,599 Speaker 6: let's get out of his salary. 2127 01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:32,000 Speaker 12: Now. 2128 01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:33,760 Speaker 6: Does any team want to trade friend Brian? You make 2129 01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:37,040 Speaker 6: good points about his age, about his willingness to maybe 2130 01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:39,280 Speaker 6: want to be traded, But I think the Lakers will 2131 01:44:39,320 --> 01:44:41,880 Speaker 6: explore it trade deadline. Yeah. 2132 01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:45,280 Speaker 4: Until I heard that that little bit of him in 2133 01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:49,120 Speaker 4: the Cleveland training camp or whatever it was, I kind 2134 01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:54,000 Speaker 4: of thought that the city, the team, everyone was dedicated 2135 01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:56,720 Speaker 4: to Lebron. But I mean, though I think he says 2136 01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:58,680 Speaker 4: in LA, yes, it's most likely his last year. He 2137 01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:02,439 Speaker 4: seems comfortable there, and Brownie stall on the team too, 2138 01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:04,160 Speaker 4: so it makes sense for this to be this last 2139 01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:08,719 Speaker 4: year and stay in LA. But you know, I gotta 2140 01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:12,720 Speaker 4: tell you, I just thought that someone like himself puts 2141 01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:15,240 Speaker 4: so much money in the seats, and isn't that part 2142 01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:18,080 Speaker 4: of the Now I don't know too much about the 2143 01:45:18,120 --> 01:45:21,280 Speaker 4: new ownership, but isn't that part of anything is is 2144 01:45:21,360 --> 01:45:24,320 Speaker 4: filling up the seats and not that every Laker game 2145 01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:26,840 Speaker 4: is not going to be sold out anyway, But you know, 2146 01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:29,200 Speaker 4: you just think that he's part of the establishment here. 2147 01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:33,400 Speaker 4: I never even thought anything of this guy would be 2148 01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:35,920 Speaker 4: on a different team to end his career or go. 2149 01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:37,679 Speaker 4: I just thought he was gonna be with like even 2150 01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:42,320 Speaker 4: the Lakers management for many years to come. So now 2151 01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:44,080 Speaker 4: I don't know if that even talks of that, you know, 2152 01:45:44,160 --> 01:45:48,280 Speaker 4: And Jeff just mentioned the new ownership. It sounded like 2153 01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:51,760 Speaker 4: he was saying that maybe they don't even not that 2154 01:45:51,800 --> 01:45:54,040 Speaker 4: they don't like him, but maybe they don't really honor 2155 01:45:54,160 --> 01:45:58,680 Speaker 4: him like the old ownerships in the past. So it's 2156 01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:00,680 Speaker 4: gonna be interesting though. But I thought he's staying there 2157 01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:04,320 Speaker 4: for now. However, future, you know, being a coach or 2158 01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:06,880 Speaker 4: something like that, I thought maybe he'd be something do 2159 01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:08,519 Speaker 4: something like that. But maybe I'm wrong there too. 2160 01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:12,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, if the start of the season he's not going anywhere. 2161 01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:15,919 Speaker 5: No, but but Jeff brings up at the trade deadline, 2162 01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:19,280 Speaker 5: if he's completely disgruntled and the Lakers are looking at 2163 01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:21,599 Speaker 5: this and saying, hey man, we're not winning a title 2164 01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:25,519 Speaker 5: like rap Polinkaz made it known. They're looking at clear 2165 01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:28,160 Speaker 5: cap space for twenty twenty seven, right, so they can 2166 01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:30,479 Speaker 5: try to go all in and really build around Luca. 2167 01:46:31,200 --> 01:46:34,519 Speaker 5: So if trading Lebron, if he wants that, and there 2168 01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:37,200 Speaker 5: could be a win win for both sides come deadline time. 2169 01:46:37,320 --> 01:46:40,360 Speaker 5: But at the beginning of the season, like the Cleveland stuff, 2170 01:46:40,560 --> 01:46:42,920 Speaker 5: there's no chance to know how that happens. They'd have 2171 01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:46,479 Speaker 5: to trade so many players, they have no cap space none, 2172 01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:49,960 Speaker 5: They're over the cap, right. And I also thought about 2173 01:46:50,040 --> 01:46:53,320 Speaker 5: remember when Kawhi Leonard got traded to the Raptors. 2174 01:46:53,160 --> 01:46:55,000 Speaker 2: And it was just like a one season rental. 2175 01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:57,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the one thing I could like kind of 2176 01:46:57,640 --> 01:47:01,000 Speaker 5: compare it to Lebron, and I looked at their individual 2177 01:47:01,160 --> 01:47:04,720 Speaker 5: numbers those seasons, like when Kawhi was in Toronto and 2178 01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:08,920 Speaker 5: Lebron last season, Lebron's still putting up numbers, right, But 2179 01:47:09,080 --> 01:47:12,400 Speaker 5: if you look at Kawhi, he got traded with Danny 2180 01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:15,960 Speaker 5: Green to the Raptors and the Spurs. They got DeMar 2181 01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:20,240 Speaker 5: derozen Yaka Pertle, they got a twenty nineteen first round pick. 2182 01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:21,240 Speaker 5: That's all they got. 2183 01:47:22,200 --> 01:47:24,040 Speaker 2: They would take way more to get Lebron, and a 2184 01:47:24,120 --> 01:47:25,320 Speaker 2: lot of teams just can't do it. 2185 01:47:25,680 --> 01:47:28,680 Speaker 6: I think the hard part too, is that, like to 2186 01:47:28,800 --> 01:47:31,320 Speaker 6: make the trade work, now you have to trade. You're 2187 01:47:31,640 --> 01:47:33,519 Speaker 6: wrong here, Brian, Like, the money's got to be about 2188 01:47:33,560 --> 01:47:34,720 Speaker 6: to say, but you used to be able to dumb 2189 01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:37,320 Speaker 6: contracts on teams, so money has to be the same, 2190 01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:40,600 Speaker 6: which again feels again hard to Like, Lebron makes so 2191 01:47:40,720 --> 01:47:44,720 Speaker 6: much money, it's hard to find an equivalent contract. So 2192 01:47:44,800 --> 01:47:47,519 Speaker 6: you're trading multiple players for Lebron. But I mean, look 2193 01:47:47,840 --> 01:47:50,200 Speaker 6: what if your if your team is one player away, 2194 01:47:51,520 --> 01:47:55,040 Speaker 6: I mean what would that be. I've seen the one 2195 01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:58,479 Speaker 6: thrown out, the Knicks thrown out there. Who is what 2196 01:47:58,680 --> 01:48:01,600 Speaker 6: You're gonna be one player away in the middle of 2197 01:48:01,600 --> 01:48:03,760 Speaker 6: the year that needs Lebron that badly. I just think 2198 01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:05,800 Speaker 6: there's gonna be very few choices. They can't even give 2199 01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:08,160 Speaker 6: the Lakers what they want in the end, right, you 2200 01:48:08,240 --> 01:48:10,600 Speaker 6: have to give the Lakers the money and the and 2201 01:48:10,640 --> 01:48:13,160 Speaker 6: the draft picks and the players they want for Lebron, 2202 01:48:14,320 --> 01:48:16,280 Speaker 6: and it feels unlikely anyone will be able to match that. 2203 01:48:16,520 --> 01:48:18,559 Speaker 5: Yeah, those are the two things go ahead a couple 2204 01:48:19,160 --> 01:48:20,000 Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago. 2205 01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:23,479 Speaker 4: I just remember Ilo saying to us that wasn't he 2206 01:48:23,640 --> 01:48:25,640 Speaker 4: just didn't they just pick up his last season for 2207 01:48:25,760 --> 01:48:32,080 Speaker 4: like fifty He did seven millionaire fifty two. So now 2208 01:48:32,120 --> 01:48:34,240 Speaker 4: what does that exactly mean? Does that mean that they 2209 01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:37,400 Speaker 4: they're gonna they agreed to pay him for the last year. 2210 01:48:37,680 --> 01:48:40,559 Speaker 2: No, it was a millier options, so Lebron opted in. 2211 01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:41,640 Speaker 4: To make this. 2212 01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:46,120 Speaker 6: The NBA is unique. They have player options where the 2213 01:48:46,520 --> 01:48:49,840 Speaker 6: baseball might but the NFL certainly doesn't crack. And you'd 2214 01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:53,000 Speaker 6: be surprised. Every player exercise is the option to get 2215 01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:56,840 Speaker 6: paid millions of dollars. They never say no, which is 2216 01:48:56,920 --> 01:48:59,160 Speaker 6: like very funny, Like, oh, Lebron bys she noted fifty 2217 01:48:59,200 --> 01:49:01,360 Speaker 6: two million dollars. I will tell you one guy, Austin 2218 01:49:01,400 --> 01:49:03,760 Speaker 6: Reeves said no, that's because he's going to make an 2219 01:49:03,800 --> 01:49:06,519 Speaker 6: extra you know, twitter million on the open market after 2220 01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:09,680 Speaker 6: the season. But yeah, I mean he said, yes, the 2221 01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:11,960 Speaker 6: fifteen million dollars, which you you know again is a franchise, 2222 01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:13,960 Speaker 6: you store of no very nice. It was fifty two 2223 01:49:13,960 --> 01:49:17,760 Speaker 6: million dollars. I mean, I SGA is making they said, 2224 01:49:17,960 --> 01:49:20,800 Speaker 6: SGA by the maybe thirty year of his deal. He 2225 01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:23,600 Speaker 6: makes a million dollars a game, and it'll make like 2226 01:49:23,600 --> 01:49:28,000 Speaker 6: one hundred thousand dollars per foul shot. Well, it's very funny. 2227 01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:30,000 Speaker 2: Its a lot of file shots. 2228 01:49:30,800 --> 01:49:34,040 Speaker 5: You know who also opted in to a fifty two 2229 01:49:34,120 --> 01:49:37,559 Speaker 5: million dollar pay payday this season, That's right, that would. 2230 01:49:37,400 --> 01:49:41,320 Speaker 2: Be Isaac Lowankrun. I heard mister money Bucks I Low 2231 01:49:41,439 --> 01:49:42,160 Speaker 2: with the latest. 2232 01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:46,280 Speaker 1: I just do this for the love of hanging out 2233 01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:49,680 Speaker 1: with you guys. The charisma of the three of you 2234 01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:53,320 Speaker 1: is just so overwhelming. Well, speaking of money, and speaking 2235 01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:57,759 Speaker 1: of the NBA, guys, I got a fresh NBA update 2236 01:49:57,920 --> 01:50:02,479 Speaker 1: for you.

It's just 2244 01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:24,960 Speaker 9: don't I don't want to make any predictions on when 2245 01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:25,599 Speaker 9: I'm gonna be back. 2246 01:50:25,600 --> 01:50:27,639 Speaker 7: I just want to be back one hundred and fifty 2247 01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:28,720 Speaker 7: thousand percent better. 2248 01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:31,639 Speaker 4: So I'm taking my time right now to really get healthy. 2249 01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:33,000 Speaker 4: I'm taking my time to. 2250 01:50:33,040 --> 01:50:36,120 Speaker 7: Really get my body right, other parts of porches of 2251 01:50:36,200 --> 01:50:40,080 Speaker 7: my body right, and really just enjoy this recovery process. Man, 2252 01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:43,600 Speaker 7: it's not pretty. Yes, it is a beautiful struggle. But 2253 01:50:44,040 --> 01:50:46,479 Speaker 7: I go through kind of the mental roller coaster ride, 2254 01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:48,639 Speaker 7: you know, every day. Just want to be back out 2255 01:50:48,640 --> 01:50:49,280 Speaker 7: there again. 2256 01:50:49,400 --> 01:50:53,000 Speaker 1: That's straight from Kyrie Irving's video stream and fourth round 2257 01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:56,519 Speaker 1: actually at Wibledon today, American Taylor fritz defeated Australian Jordan 2258 01:50:56,600 --> 01:50:59,439 Speaker 1: Thompson to advance in the quarterfinals after Thompson had to 2259 01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:02,439 Speaker 1: retire to injury in the second set. Fritzen won the 2260 01:51:02,479 --> 01:51:04,320 Speaker 1: first set six to one. He has had three nothing 2261 01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:07,280 Speaker 1: in the second set, when Thompson had to retire baseball. Today, 2262 01:51:07,320 --> 01:51:10,880 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Orioles plays catcher Gary Sanchez on the ten 2263 01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:14,160 Speaker 1: day injured list with a spring right knee. The Orioles, 2264 01:51:14,200 --> 01:51:17,040 Speaker 1: as we speak, just underway in Atlanta. No score in 2265 01:51:17,120 --> 01:51:17,720 Speaker 1: the first inning. 2266 01:51:17,840 --> 01:51:20,800 Speaker 5: Guys, We've got baseball going on during the show. I 2267 01:51:20,960 --> 01:51:22,800 Speaker 5: love this beautiful thing, very nice. 2268 01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:27,479 Speaker 2: And it's not even in Europe. That's that's right. It's 2269 01:51:27,560 --> 01:51:30,360 Speaker 2: not in South Korea or something like. You know, it's here. 2270 01:51:30,920 --> 01:51:33,960 Speaker 5: It is Fox Sports Radio Scountdown presented by bet MGM 2271 01:51:35,479 --> 01:51:38,240 Speaker 5: Baseball on the Brain, right, I loove just mentioned baseball 2272 01:51:38,320 --> 01:51:41,080 Speaker 5: going on right now. How about these Yankees? Man, they've 2273 01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:43,800 Speaker 5: lost six games in a row. It's the second time 2274 01:51:43,960 --> 01:51:47,760 Speaker 5: they've lost six in a row in three weeks. What's 2275 01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:50,439 Speaker 5: the biggest problem? What would you point to, Jeff? 2276 01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:54,840 Speaker 6: Everything? Obviously, look the pitching and the injuries that just 2277 01:51:55,360 --> 01:51:57,720 Speaker 6: have decimated them, right as we know. And then you know, 2278 01:51:58,160 --> 01:52:01,080 Speaker 6: no surprise, you know, Will Warren's on earth a little bit, right, 2279 01:52:02,280 --> 01:52:04,880 Speaker 6: and you know they just they they missed Soto. I mean, 2280 01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:06,680 Speaker 6: what a surprise, shocking, right, they missed one of the 2281 01:52:06,680 --> 01:52:08,560 Speaker 6: best series in the game. So you can couple it 2282 01:52:08,680 --> 01:52:12,080 Speaker 6: all together at their defense, I mean the Yankee fans 2283 01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:14,320 Speaker 6: want to voltee back to to single lay. I mean 2284 01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:16,280 Speaker 6: like they're like, they're so get rid of this guy. 2285 01:52:16,680 --> 01:52:19,759 Speaker 6: So it's everything, right, it's everything. It's it's the defense, 2286 01:52:19,800 --> 01:52:22,479 Speaker 6: which was bad last year, was second, had the second 2287 01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:25,800 Speaker 6: most errors for any playoff team. It's not gone much better. 2288 01:52:26,360 --> 01:52:29,479 Speaker 6: It's inconsistent hitting, it's not protecting Judge, and then the 2289 01:52:29,560 --> 01:52:32,360 Speaker 6: pitching has been hurt. So all the things are adding 2290 01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:35,240 Speaker 6: to you know. Look, I wonder if the Yankees will 2291 01:52:35,280 --> 01:52:40,080 Speaker 6: go heavy into uh into the trade deadline. There's a 2292 01:52:40,080 --> 01:52:42,439 Speaker 6: lot of teams to be willing to part with starting pitching. 2293 01:52:42,479 --> 01:52:44,200 Speaker 6: There's a couple of guys on the White Sox they 2294 01:52:44,200 --> 01:52:46,080 Speaker 6: are pitching well that I can't imagine they're gonna hold 2295 01:52:46,120 --> 01:52:48,599 Speaker 6: on too very very much longan there's guys to trade 2296 01:52:48,640 --> 01:52:52,000 Speaker 6: for it, if you want to go find them. I 2297 01:52:52,160 --> 01:52:53,920 Speaker 6: just don't know if if the Yankees are willing to 2298 01:52:53,960 --> 01:52:55,360 Speaker 6: sell off any assets to make it happen. 2299 01:52:56,880 --> 01:53:01,200 Speaker 4: Yeah. Did you guys see that Judge had a bandage, 2300 01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:04,920 Speaker 4: a white bandage on his eyes. Yeah, there's one eye. 2301 01:53:04,920 --> 01:53:11,920 Speaker 4: I just didn't know. God in between innings like. 2302 01:53:12,080 --> 01:53:14,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like stuff, I see my son's little league games. 2303 01:53:14,280 --> 01:53:15,760 Speaker 6: I'm like, I'm like, don't.

Wow, that's insanely high. 2352 01:55:37,600 --> 01:55:39,920 Speaker 5: That's the worst a MLB in that span. And the 2353 01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:44,720 Speaker 5: other quick thing Otani two innings pitched last yesterday, looked good, 2354 01:55:44,840 --> 01:55:47,720 Speaker 5: only gave up one hit, a couple of like struck 2355 01:55:47,760 --> 01:55:48,760 Speaker 5: out the side one inning. 2356 01:55:49,480 --> 01:55:49,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. 2357 01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:52,919 Speaker 5: What when playoff time rolls around?
