0:20
Hello everybody, it is Monday night. You got it. We have a
0:25
double header. My name is Scott Morgan, Rotha Motor City Manmouth on the
0:29
Sports Exchange. Great show lined up. Why do I say that? Because
0:33
then it is Kentucky Derby Week. My goodness, and I got a guy
0:38
that knows a little bit about horse racing. But before I go ahead,
0:41
everybody knows the show is going to be based on a couple of things tonight
0:43
when we talking about Kentucky Derby, then some of the recent upsets that occurred
0:47
in the NHL and the NBA playoffs. That that said, let me go
0:51
out there and introduce the truth. Smoking Jeremy By Welcome back to the Big
0:54
Show. Mister Jeremy, I'm glad to be here as always. And ge
1:00

1:07
brought back that memory for him, Thanks Scott. Yeah, well it's been
1:10
a memory for a long longer than we probably were alive. And last but
1:14
not least, mister betting expert John Ryan Sports Numero Uno one, Welcome back,
1:19
John, glad to be back here and join you guys for a good,
1:23
fun forty five minutes or so, and we'll hopefully give some good and
1:27
betting intelligence to everybody. Again. Yeah, pretty basic show tonight. Will
1:32
be other shows that are not basic, and they'll be other ones that are
1:34
really basic, so you know, and this is going to fall into all
1:38
of those. Hey, Felicity, Jane, keep it up, guys,
1:41
keep on coming on Felicity God Watches. All right. With that said,
1:45
okay, we'll talk about Kentucky Derby Week and now, John, like I
1:49
told you on the phone, you don't have to give me all the all
1:52
the different crazy person projections right away. You don't have to do that.
1:57
We're gonna keep it simple stupid on this particular show tonight and let everybody know
2:01
that, you know, this is the show that we're obviously developing here with
2:06
John as we get closer to football season. But there are a lot of
2:09
big events and obviously that are going to occur before the NFL, So eventually
2:15
we'll talk about the USFL, but it won't be tonight. So I just
2:17
want to make sure that I set things up there very nicely for everybody,
2:22
and we'll let everybody know that while you're here on Facebook Live, if you
2:27

3:30
on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube all right, first topic of
3:36
the day is what the show was titled, the Kentucky Derby. Let's talk
3:38
about when we talk about John. I'm we'll lead it off with you,
3:42
obviously the entire broadcast. Okay, we'll talk about the prediction of these Triple
3:46
Crown races. I know there's a couple of prep races. I had an
3:50
opportunity to see one many years ago in South Florida called the Florida Derby,
3:54
and I also know they have the Arkansas Derby, and there might be other
3:57
ones I don't know, but these are the two down most for them.
4:00
So John, give us an overview. How you go ahead and predict these
4:02
Triple Crown races with a lot of the variables. I know that side of
4:08
the track and the surface play a bit of a role in to John takeover
4:11
from there. Yeah, it certainly does. It really is important the surface
4:16
of the track and the conditions of the weather. But the one thing that
4:19
draws me even more interest and more research effort is to Kentucky Derby because it
4:25
has twenty to twenty four horses every year. As we know, as the
4:29
Triple Crown evolves, a lot of horses aren't able to run two weeks later
4:33
at the next race, and a lot of times we only have six horses
4:36
or so at the Belmont. What also it does, which i'll provide later
4:41
on this week, is the superfective, which I was fortunate enough to finally
4:46
hit one last year, and the Derby provides you with the biggest potential payout
4:51
on these superfectives. We won't get into the details of what a super effect
4:56
that is. It's really imagine a pyramid with all the horses top to bottom
5:01
and their number that you know, is there what I'm trying to say here
5:09
the post number that they are in, and you just create a pyramid with
5:13
those numbers. So if those numbers actually come in in the exact finish,
5:18
that's when you cash the ticket. So it sounds like it would be pretty
5:21
easy, but you can create a fifty cent ticket that ends up being,
5:26
you know, two hundred and fifty dollars bet So you have to be really
5:29
careful when you do these things that you don't get two out of control and
5:32
too crazy with them because they are very very hard to hit. But they're
5:36
a heck of a lot of fun to do. Nevertheless, because of the
5:41
size of the field. So the one thing I noticed, and I think
5:44
I wanted to confirm with you guys too, because my research just began today
5:47
this afternoon. It looks like Badford doesn't have a horse involved with the Kentucky
5:53
Derby, And is it Do you guys find that to be true too?
5:57
Yes? He the guy knows suspended anyways, that's the owner that was suspended
6:03
for the suspected doping right right, Yeah, that's what I thought so too,
6:09
John. So yeah, they had they had indicated that there was the
6:13
possibility of some horses that possibly had trained with him last year, say get
6:18
moved to a different training facility under a different owner and at different They probably
6:25
do not want his name on those horses, is what it is. That's
6:30
that's quite true and rightfully so, I mean, no question about it,
6:33
um. But he is nevertheless the most polarizing and most recognizable face at a
6:40
at a major event like this, just because of the appearance. But anyway,
6:46
the event here, and one other thing I wanted to mention too.
6:49
A lot of times, um, you know, new betters are taught that
6:53
you stay away from the horse that drew the post on the rail. Now
6:58
what the Kentucky Derby has done at your chill downs. As they used to
7:01
have two separate, you know, stalls for the horses that they would bring
7:05
out and there'd be twelve in the one twelve and the other. The horses
7:10
would go and then two tractors would actually pull them out of the way so
7:14
that when the horses came around, they wouldn't be there. Now they've connected
7:17
them and they've made it a much more favorable situation at the pole against the
7:25
rail where a horse is less likely to get squeezed into the rail and have
7:29
to slow down. So you know, in this race you have all different
7:33
types of horses and horse racing styles. You've got the speedsters that will be
7:39
out there in front, and then you have the other ones that are closers,
7:44
which you know won't even be in the on the TV screen, possibly
7:46
to the right of the screen as the leaders are going down the back stretch
7:50
and then all of a sudden, the announcers are announcing their names and you're
7:54
wondering where the heck did they come from. But that's where we go with
7:57
the research, and I know you guys do a lot of it. Two
8:00
you want to identify with the conditions even the direction of the wind can take
8:05
a bearing on whether you want to pick a closer in the Kentucky Derby.
8:09
The bell Mint, as we know, is the longest one. That's the
8:13
third and final one that's grueling, especially after two races like this, with
8:16
this and the Preakness, and this one is the right length in my opinion.
8:22
That's why it's the most famous, it's the most fun. And I
8:26
think another thing, guys that people may not realize is that to qualifying for
8:30
this race essentially began last September, and there's all these qualifying races that these
8:37
horses can go through, and some of them, like the Arkansas Derby,
8:39
which was just recently held, if you win that, you're in, so
8:45
you don't really have to do anything that early. But you know, if
8:48
you think you're gonna your horse is gonna win the Arkansas Derby, then you'll
8:52
have enough points earned to get in with just that one race. Well,
8:58
what about the Florida Derby. Okay, I've a kind of john a few
9:01
of those. How much of a important races of Florida Derby? Well,
9:05
I think it's incredibly important because again, you're you're accumulating points and if your
9:09
horse is one of those that may not be a contender at the Florida Derby
9:13
and you might need another race or two, you want to take your horse
9:18
to the most favorable track that you think it's going to run the best on
9:22
and and that that is a very big qualifying race to your point. And
9:26
uh, you know, horses that have done well there translate pretty well to
9:31
Kentucky. So um, yeah, that's a great point. And any any
9:37
of these races you can you can immediately start seeing which horses are going to
9:41
be the leaders coming into the Kentucky Derby that have qualified, such as you
9:46
know Tappid Trace uh Todd Pletcher owner Luis says is the jockey on that one.
9:54
He's currently six to one on the opening five to one now, so
9:58
there's already money, I mean in on a favorite and that always gets my
10:01
attention. It's very tempting. It's like March madness in a way that you
10:07
want to take that long shot and you know, and and hope that it
10:09
comes through so that you can really feel like you're smart, you know,
10:13
like, oh wow, I just wanted to Derby with at twenty to one,
10:16
you know, medium shot, so to speak, and that doesn't happen
10:20
too often. However, it has happened more often than previous history in these
10:24
last couple of years. Another horse I am looking at for sure is Skinner.
10:31
Now, this is a horse that is pretty somewhat unusual to be at
10:37
fifteen to one. Money is not coming on him, so that actually makes
10:41
me more interested in him because it's contrarian. Currently at twenty to one,
10:46
I think that's worth, you know, a pizza money, but it's certainly
10:48
going to be in those super effectus and other larger type bets that we're going
10:54
to be doing. Practical move. Last race with the Santa Ni Derby April
11:00
eighth one by a nose point is one. The owner is Pierre and Leslie
11:05
Amastoy and Roger Beasley. The horses is very very good, very good reviews,
11:13
good Derby scores in the races that it has run, and I think
11:18
there's a horse that you definitely want to have on the radar. It's ten
11:20
to one right now, and I think that's a reasonable price for a horse
11:26
of this talent. And then of course you have the long shots, which
11:30
I think in this Derby guys, I think you just kind of leave alone.
11:35
Maybe in one of your super effectors you add it as a just in
11:39
case. At fifty to one, you have Jason's Road Sun Thunders fifty to
11:43
one. However, the one big move this week that I've seen is that
11:48
Jason's Road is opened at fifty to one. It's currently fifteen to one.
11:54
So I need to look into that and see, you know what has caused
11:58
that. Maybe it was a poor price on the opening for this horse and
12:01
people took advantage of it. But the fact that it's moved that much gets
12:03
our attention because you immediately think like, why, well, why did it
12:09
move that much that quick? That's a familiar name, is that one that
12:13
showed a couple of times that some of the lesser qualifying races. Let's see
12:18
here the horse evaluation here in the notes is that it prefers shorter tracks,
12:26
difficult to endorse off of tiring third at at FG David Aragona wasn't thrilled with
12:33
the Louisiana Derby effort sat on top of a soft pace and failed to finish.
12:39
So this horse is more of those strong closing type of horses, and
12:46
you would want to see a slow pace in the beginning and then a horse
12:50
like this, just like steadily, just chopped down each one that he passes
12:54
and ultimately win the race. So that's one I think we need to really
13:01
dive into and see why it has moved that much. And like I said,
13:05
I'll provide all this and updates on the Twitter. Yeah. Yeah,
13:09
Like I said, John, the whole purpose tonight was to kind of get
13:11
everybody to what their appetite that during this year, this is when horse racing
13:15
is on its biggest stage when you talk about the Triple Crown. By all
13:18
means, as I said when we brought you on tonight, I just won't
13:20
let everybody know that's out there watching listening to us on the various platforms that
13:24
you know, again, a lot of things change from Monday until the end
13:28
of the week. I know, you never know if a horse can get
13:31
accidentally injured pulled. So again, it's just basic information tonight. And you
13:35
know what, John, why don't you let everybody know early in the broadcast?
13:39
Okay, how they can find your information early and we'll probably refer back
13:43
to it in case they want up three. I think Twitter is your primary
13:46
source or social media anyways, right, John, Yeah, at John Ryan
13:50
Sports in the number one as you see on the screen. And also just
13:54
you know, humbly said, I just was awarded the super subscriber from Twitter,
14:00
which means that you can get exclusive content for just nine dollars and ninety
14:05
five cents a month, which you know is an ipa. So it's not
14:09
much, but all the details and the premium stuff that I release is going
14:13
to be in there. And you know, the Kentucky Derby though, is
14:16
going to be published free of charge, especially for those that are listening here
14:22
and are interested to know what I'm gonna do. So no problem there at
14:26
all. But I think it's an opportunity there to use the Twitter platform to
14:30
really expand and leverage the data that I have in my massive databases and provide
14:35
whatever I can with the time I have, and you know, give people
14:39
a lot of value hopefully. Right. So the main thing is, like
14:43
I said, I want to move on to our next topic here. Okay,
14:46
So, well, Vocal has an interesting point. I'm not sure how
14:50
to digest it. So why don't you go ahead and saw that one rebel
14:54
stax this year, So why don't you elaborate on that? I'm not sure
14:56
about this elaborated what I saw that one Rebel stakes this year? Are you
15:03
familiar with rebel steaks? Yeah? And I actually don't have the info on
15:07
that to mention anything, but feel free to bring it up and I'll chime
15:13
in, yeah, that's fine. But meanwhile, the main thing, folks
15:16
will just go to John Ryan's Twitter page and he'll be able to give you
15:20
all the ins and ounce about the Kentucky Derby lads a week progresses. All
15:24
right? Thanks, well, and why don't you just connect with John on
15:26
Twitter to get the exact information. Final topic of the night, Guys,
15:30
George, is there anything you want to ask about? Well? I think
15:33
a lot of us probably didn't know this, but this is the fiftieth anniversary
15:37
John of the Great Secretary at nineteen seventy three. Fifty years have gone by,
15:43
and I'm sure the network is going to do a lot of features on
15:46
it next Saturday. What do you remember about Secretary at John or any of
15:50
our show A panelists. I'd be curious, what a great thing, what
15:56
a great thing for the sports in America when that beautiful horse won the triple
16:00
Crown? Yeah? Well, smoking Jeremy took the words right, out of
16:04
my mouth. I was gonna say I was only like four years old back
16:07
then, but you know I was, I was young enough not to really
16:11
recognize what was going on, uh you know, ten years old. Um,
16:17
yeah, more interested in probably going outside and playing you know, baseball
16:19
and that kind of thing. But what I well, you remember is the
16:23
domination. I think it was what twenty three length at the at the Belmont
16:30
Belmont, Yeah, which, if memory serves correct, with the history of
16:33
it, nobody really gave that horse a chance to win it because it was
16:37
too long for him. He wasn't gonna have the stamina, he wasn't gonna
16:41
be able to hold on to the pace, and it wasn't gonna work out.
16:45
But you know, the horse proved otherwise, you know. Just I
16:48
reminded myself too why I love these horse races, because I just started talking
16:52
about Secretariat as if he's a human being. And I think that's where the
16:57
emotion of these races is so tremendous, because they almost take on a life
17:03
of their own, and the horses, like even when they come out of
17:06
the paddock and they have their what I call you know, and on raced
17:10
I call it, Hey, look, the look at the friend he has,
17:11
you know, and it is so cool. It's almost like they're talking
17:15
to each other like, hey man, you got this. You've been training
17:18
really hard and that horse is calming that you know, thorough bread down almost
17:25
like pre game, you know, almost like you know, somebody walking up
17:27
to Patrick Mahomes in the locker room and saying, we got this. And
17:32
it just it's fascinating to me with the horses because you know that they know
17:37
what's going on. This is not something that they don't realize what's going on.
17:41
They know why they're there, and they know that they should be running
17:45
and not see anybody or another horse in front of them. But with Secretariat,
17:51
you know that whole story. If you've never seen the movie, especially
17:53
watch the movie for those that are watching that are only twenty years old or
17:57
twenty five years old, you'll love it. You'll absolutely love it and you
18:02
might even shed a tear when you see how special that horse was and how
18:07
kind of like the Aunt Palmer of horse racing. Yeah, without on a
18:10
palm, we probably don't have the PGA where it is today. Team can
18:14
be said with Secred analogy, Yeah, that is a great analogy I gotta
18:18
tell you my all time horse racing moving with sea biscuits, so go figures
18:22
all right? Well on the next subject, okay, and the last one.
18:26
We've seen a recent upset in the opening rounds of the NHL and and
18:30
NBA playoffs, and talk about Milwaukee losing to Miami. And of course now
18:33
we saw two interesting ones. So Florida Panthers ousting the Boston Bruins or two
18:41
presidents and of course Seattle cracking being the first team ever to go ahead expansion
18:45
team to house the Colorado Avalanche. So John, listen, main lead you
18:49
for you and then I'll let Jeremy and George talk about it. Did you
18:52
ever see these monumental upstates monumental upstates upsets coming? Well, I'll be honest
19:00
and very humble. I had to Florida Panthers three of the four games that
19:03
they won. There were the only three bets that came up on the models
19:07
coming into the series. I think I'll draw the analogy to the Chicago Bulls
19:12
in the year that they broke the all time scoring record or a win percentage
19:17
record, And I think what happens in these situations is Boston and that team
19:25
got out to such a quick start, and everybody right then and there,
19:29
almost like the media did with Roger Morris, do you think you can break
19:32
the record? Do you think you can break the record? Every single day?
19:36
These guys had to go through that whatever it is, Ringaman roll the
19:41
pressure, and it really wears on a team, and I think that is
19:45
what we saw with Boston. Florida had beaten Boston five times of the losses
19:52
that they had this season, which was by far the best. And you
19:56
know, oddly enough the second team they lost the most too. Actually,
20:00
there's only two teams that Boston lost to more than once, Florida with the
20:06
five and now six and the Ottawa Senators. How can that be? You
20:11
know, you just like think, well, that would be an automatic win.
20:15
But it's not so coming into these playoffs knowing that they had broken the
20:18
record and it wasn't look I wanted them to win the Stanley Cup. Who
20:22
wouldn't you know, after the season like that, you want to see him
20:26
finish it. But when I get into the betting part of it, I'm
20:29
looking at numbers. I'm not looking at mascots. I'm not looking at what
20:33
they did record breaking wise during the regular season, I'm looking for an edge,
20:37
and I think that was a big edge coming in, and then when
20:40
the models set up the way they did, you know, I had no
20:45
you know, I'll be honest with the last night. I was watching in
20:47
the overtime and I almost didn't want to win the bet because I hated what
20:52
I was gonna see with the Boston Bruin fans and the letdown and seeing the
20:57
goalie give up that that series ending goal. I mean, it's so final,
21:04
and I really mean that. I really felt like terribly bad, like
21:08
for the city of Boston and their fans that they had this unbelievable season and
21:14
then how to end like this. Yeah, So that that was that was
21:18
quite the experience, to be honest. But each one of those dogs was
21:22
plus two twenty. I mixed them up sometimes with a puck line which is
21:26
plus one and a half for those that don't know, and it worked out.
21:30
You know. Florida just really showed grit, especially the way Boston came
21:33
out in that third period. You thought it was going to be Golden State
21:37
and Sacramento in the NBA the night before. Two goals in four minutes and
21:42
ten seconds and you know, you thought that Florida didn't have a chance,
21:47
and then in the whole series, every time that happened, Florida would answer,
21:52
and they did again last night, and you know you got to give
21:55
the credit to them for winning it. Well, the ironing gets you had
21:57
a matchup featuring the last two Residents Cup Trophy winners and James Ward left.
22:03
Yeah, it's a President's Trophy curse. Will Vogel, Will Vogel stole my
22:08
thunder? Yes, I was gonna say, in the last twenty years,
22:11
has only been four president Cup winners that have won the Stanley Cup, one
22:15
of them being the Detroit Weather Red Wings. No less right, Yeah,
22:18
well again, this is a battle of two the last two Presidents Trophy winners,
22:25
Okay, And as it turns out, the team that hit forty some
22:27
odd last points ended up winning, being a heavy underdog. So you know,
22:33
it's it's surreal. And let's not lose sight of the fact that Seattle
22:36
crack and a second year team defeated Colorado. So I don't know what is
22:41
a bigger upset John, and I'll turn over to Jeremy and George. Would
22:44
you say that the Panthers beating Mosson is a bigger upset or would you say
22:48
Seattle over Colorado is a bigger upset. That's a tough question, a tough
22:55
one to answer. I think that, Oh, you think I make these
22:57
questions easy. Come on, well, you know it's uh. You have
23:03
two monumental upsets in the same day, both games sevenates and that that's rare.
23:10
Yeah right, yeah. And you you know, after watching the Florida
23:17
pull off, the dramatic upset, you think, well, Colorado ought to
23:21
take care of this, and I didn't have anything in that game. But
23:26
now the danger is as a better and I think a lesson to be learned
23:30
is that you just saw two road teams win games seven very rare. It
23:34
makes you as as a beginning better. I want to take the Rate or
23:38
the New Jersey Devils tonight because they're playing at home and there's no way in
23:42
guyscreen or three road teams are gonna win three consecutive game sevens. Well,
23:48
I'm here to tell you you know it can happen. And I don't know
23:51
what the score of that game is right now, but I wouldn't be surprised
23:53
if it happens three times in a row. So we can't. Happened in
24:00
basketball last night the road team won in the Golden State Warriors. So three
24:06
road teams won in game seven situations in the same day. Oh, here's
24:10
Wolve Vogel's opinion. He thinks that Seattle because its mansion teams as soon.
24:12
Well that's a good point. Well, I mean, that's why I brought
24:15
it up, this second year team. You know, Dave Hastall. A
24:18
few people don't understand though, that Dave Hackstall was a great coach in college.
24:23
Okay, struggled with the Philadelphia Flyers, but this guy's a heck of
24:29
a coach, he really is. And obviously he takes on an expansion team
24:34
the second year of their excellent so you know again, well, you know,
24:37
with all due respect, you're probably mentioning the obvious choice, which is
24:41
a good choice, with Seattle being his second year team. And we all
24:45
know that the Vegas scold Knights ended up making it to the Stanley Cup finals
24:48
reverse years. But they're sending the bar on expansion teams higher than they did.
24:53
George back in the day when you and I were dealing with the teams
24:57
like the Atlanta plays New York Islanders in Capitals and the early Florida Panthers they're
25:03
getting. The Panthers got to their only Stanley Cup file. But yeah,
25:10
I mean right, no, I remember that all the ways smoking g but
25:12
the reality is, well, no, it's okay, it's fair. I
25:17
mean, yeah, the Kansas City Scouts came in when the Washington Capitals then,
25:19
So you know, we have a vast hockey knowledge background on here that
25:23
most people realize. So I'm going to turn over to George Iiicorn. Okay,
25:26
what are your thoughts about what transpired? You know, and we talked
25:30
about the Milwaukee Bucks losing Miami Heat, but I don't view that as john
25:34
as big of an upset because the Miami Heat looked like a mash unit all
25:38
year, and anytime you have a guy like Jimmy Butler on there, that's
25:44
a different situations because this guy can turn it on and carry a team on
25:48
his back. So we're going to keep the focus on the NHL. Albeit
25:51
Milwaukee Bucks fans all like us and my Boothholzer could be on the hot seat
25:55
before long. George, I'm gonna go back to you. Yeah I did.
25:59
I note me to be bragging, but I told Candy when we were
26:02
on this program, Scott, you had a night off because of your hectic
26:04
schedule, and she asked me, who's going to make the finals and I
26:07
told her the Florida Panthers, and everybody laughed at me. But I had
26:11
a high at a sneaky hunch, like John said, you know, based
26:15
on the season record and based upon what Florida accomplished last season the year before,
26:21
I had a sneaky suspicion Boston might be in trouble. And this has
26:23
happened right here in Detroit. As Jeremy mentioned, we've had Detroit teams that
26:27
set records like that and then fell flat, losing to the San Jose Sharks
26:33
in round one. So I agree. I mean, you never know when
26:37
the upset's going to happen. And really three game seven's, oh my gosh,
26:41
and all road teams winning. It was just fantastic. And unfortunately in
26:45
some cities like Detroit, we've got seven straight years now with no Red Wings
26:51
in the playoffs, and we lose sight of the fact of how exciting the
26:55
Stanley Cup playoffs are. And Scott, you and I have talked about this
26:57
before. It's the most ruling of the major sports to try to get through
27:03
those seven times four twenty It could be twenty eight games, but you gotta
27:07
win the sixteen games. And it's just fantastic hockey. And like you said,
27:12
everybody was on the edge of their seat. They claude back. Florida
27:17
gives a lot of credit. Man, they clawed back into that series in
27:19
that game last night. Yeah. I will say this when I talked to
27:22
Paul Woods in Tampa a couple of weeks ago, though Paul and I did
27:26
talk about this very subject, John, And you know, the Red Wings
27:29
get somewhat of a pass here because they have four championships in their pocket,
27:33
so or you have other teams that are that don't have any you know,
27:37
obviously it was inevitable, the rebuild was on the way, So I don't
27:41
I won't be as critical on the Wings as probably most critics will. All
27:45
right, we'll rolls on a roll, vocals on a roll. So there
27:48
you go. Well take that out there in the NHL playoffs is like Mark
27:52
vannesssance here sort of. Yeah, that's true. So all right, let's
27:55
continue on smoking Germany, be giving your thoughts about this, and they will
27:56
wrap this Puffy Up tonight and coming up after our Sports Exchange, we have
28:02
Fire Up Michigan tonight. So just to give an overview of what's on tap
28:06
after the broadcast, Johns he got a good turnout in the chat room.
28:07
Am you're glad you made up my friend? All right? Coming up here
28:11
on Fire Up Michigan, myself, George Iikorn, Jeremy Be, we'll rock,
28:15
and Keegan Eckard will go ahead and summarize the Detroit Lions raft in.
28:18
Jeremy, we'll have some undrafted free agents. So after this show here,
28:22
please stay with us for Fire Up Michigan. Okay, go ahead, Jeremy.
28:26
Well, it was amazing to watch, you know, after the draft
28:30
days that we had and all the podcasting. Alls I did was lay there
28:33
and watch playoff basketball and hockey and seeing all those amazing accomplishments. And kudos
28:41
to Steph Curry also for what he pulled off against the Kings, being the
28:45
first player of any age to score fifty points in a game seven on the
28:49
road. Yeah, that's impressive for any player of any position in basketball.
28:57
That being said, it was amazing to see, I mean seeing the lamp
29:02
get lit and them tie it up and then able to hold on and take
29:06
it the overtime and then light the lamp what was it three minutes into the
29:08
overtime. It was amazing, that's for sure. I think the Panthers did
29:14
their thing with a lot under a minute right toward the end of the game.
29:17
I remember, Yeah, that's when they scored the last minute. They
29:19
scored the tying gold, and obviously they took care of business. And then
29:22
the previous game they won. I remember, like um closest I probably ever
29:27
had to have him a heart breakaway which the second I mean there was like
29:33
five seconds left and their best scorers running, you know, not free,
29:37
but he's he's skating free and you think, oh my god, it's over.
29:41
You know he's gonna score, and he didn't, right, So I
29:47
mean there, let's way. So George and Ivolt know everybody who knows in
29:49
hockey, you know, once upon time and won eight games, and that's
29:52
where the octopus phenom came from. And now you need two octopuss to satisfy
29:56
the sixteen game Wednesday. You have to. And I know the Stanley tups
30:00
the most grueling trophy to win because you think about some of these guys that
30:03
play two, three, four, five, six old times until they get
30:07
there. Then you don't wonder how much gas they got in to take from
30:08
the next game. So that goes on and on, so you know,
30:11
it's unbelievable, you know, and I think we have We've had a very
30:15
action pack few days here and over the course of the week, John will
30:19
on his Twitter account provide the average all you folks out there that are watching
30:23
and listening to us with more and more updates on his Twitter account, and
30:27
then maybe if we have an opportunity in a couple of weeks, John,
30:30
we'll talk about it. But I think one of the topics that we're going
30:33
to bring up on a future show, though John didn't want to do it
30:36
this week because we want to focus on the derby and the incredible amount of
30:38
upsets, is you're going to talk about gambling with the XFL and the USFL
30:44
at a later date and so you'll have a little time to research that one
30:47
a little bit. But this one here was just too natural not to pass
30:49
up during this time of the week. So that way, if you want
30:52
to know what to talk about it, mister Ryan in front of Jeremy George
30:56
and myself do a little bit of work on the XFL the USFL, and
31:00
we'll just kind of just touch into that a little bit as we continue to
31:03
line up towards sketting the NFL draft schedule coming out. So any clothing thoughts
31:08
about these two topics, Smogan, No, I'm good. One of the
31:15
guys in the chat room said that it's like March Madness the NHL, right
31:18
down with the upsets. I would imagine that, you know, the Panthers
31:22
were plus two hundred plus two twenty, right. If that's basketball, that
31:26
translates to betting on a dog of maybe five and a half six points,
31:30
right, that you think is gonna win. But in March Madness, we
31:34
see upsets that are double digit dogs, right, So I would say that,
31:40
you know, by comparison, it was unbelievable last night that Florida pulled
31:44
off what they did, but it kind of pales a little bit to the
31:48
monumental upsets you get to see him in the college basketball arenas a pretty good
31:52
year though for Florida. You got Miami going to the front four and four,
31:57
and now we were talking about the Miami heating of Florida Panthers pick out
32:01
from the Collegian you can talk about. That's unbelievable carry over from my neck
32:05
of the woods, that's for sure, all right, Yeah, no,
32:08
all right, don't and don't forget the Toronto maple leaves made it past the
32:12
first round too. Yeah, I will stick to the Florida theme alone.
32:16
Don't talk about the maple leaves, Okay. I don't want to Tampa fans
32:21
to turn on me. Otherwise you have to bite the bullet on that one,
32:23
sorry, George. All right, With that said, as we wrap
32:25

34:20
We'll go to Georgia and John, you're gonna wrap it up, Okay,
34:22
go ahead, George, all right, my book is out Detroit sports broadcasters
34:27
on the air, and there's a lot of information here that you're going to
34:30
love about Detroit sports broadcasters. Several of those broadcasters love going to bet the
34:35
ponies at the track. I'm not going to mention their names because that's not
34:38
what I'm here for, but a lot of history about Detroit sports broadcasters in
34:43
that book. There's a link to purchase the book at the end of my
34:45
column on the Motor City Tribune under the South Florida Tribute and banner, and
34:50
also I write for the Detroit Monitor locally. You can also reach me at
34:53
gi corn at yahoo dot com and on Twitter at Sandge sports ninety nine.
35:00
Yeah, what's good about George's book? I happened to be in there with
35:01
Muhammad Ali and Jimmy Connor. It's good stuff, yes, sir, That's
35:05
something I really take a lot of pride in a lot of the individuals I've
35:07
been fortunate enough to meet with a different place. So I've done. All
35:09
right, John, one more time, give your information out there. Before
35:13
you do that, I want to reinforce it. I've said maybe one or
35:15
two times. If you're looking for more updates on the Kentucky Derby, John's
35:19
Twitter page will get them to you. Go ahead, John, Well,
35:22
thanks a lot, Scott, and pleasure being on the show with you guys.
35:24
You can find me at John Ryan Sports and the Number one. And
35:29
I'll leave you with this thought that the lowly Philadelphia seventy sixers without Joe Mbid,
35:35
granted there is a little bit ways to go yet, are actually winning
35:38
outright. And I was trying to say this to everybody that would listen to
35:43
me today, that the Sixers are twelve and five straight up and against the
35:46
spread without Joe Ebid in the lineup. And I think that speaks volumes to
35:52
the how much underrated Doc Rivers is as a head coach. So maybe they
35:55
pull off Game one here and shocked the world like the Florida Panthers did.
36:00
We'll have to wait and see, but they're playing very well right now.
36:02
Well you know what, John, I like it when you throw those kinds
36:05
of things my way that way. It's just be gives us is that updated
36:08
feeling about what it is a lot of betters are going to wonder about the
36:10
Joel Embid effect, and so thank you very much for bringing that to the
36:15
forefront. So as I said, folks, just conclude this edition of the
36:17
Sports Exchange, So on behalf of Jeremy B. Smoking, Jeremy B.
