  Speaker 3: Welcome in. Are you in the transfer portal? Everybody else is?
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Uh No, I am too old for the transfer portal.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: My back will not let me go into the transfer portal.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: So no.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: You and I talk talked about this last night, but
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: more guys are jumping in this deal. I got so
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: many questions on this. These judges, Well, let me ask
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you this. Why are judges and I get it, judges
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: are powerful.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: They can do a lot of things.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Why are judges able to dictate which guys can come
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: back tell the NCAA to shut up? I mean you
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: would think the nc DOABA has zero power. I mean
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: that there's nothing they can do about anything.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: I mean you have to look at these judges where
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: do these judges graduate from? I mean, I think that's
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: the first thing you would have to look at when
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: they're making these decisions. A perfect example was what Wasn't It?
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: One of the Texas Tech judges was a Texas Tech
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: donor that was trying to get the kid from back
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: over there. So I think that's the first thing you
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: would have to look at. But I think we talked
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: about this last night. I just don't see this going
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: through yet. It's probably the talk of the town right now.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: But I mean if some of these college coaches, like
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: I said, yeah, it may be good for them now,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: and it could probably bite them in a butt down
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: the road.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you this.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I was talking with Bill Bender from the Sporting News
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and asked him this. Let's say you you got drafted
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: this past year, seventh round, you get cut, you go
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: back to college.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Can you re you know, the draft this spring? In
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: the spring?
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: I'm guessing probably? But boy, if what is okay? If
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: you get drafted the seventh round you go back to school,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: well you think you're gonna be a first round er.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: You're probably gonna be because now you have that negativity
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: of trying to screw the system to go back to
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: college because you couldn't make it in the NFL. So
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: it's the NFL like, oh this guy, Well, let's take
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: a chance on this guy. And no, I think I
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: hurt his chances in being drafted again. So again I
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: think down the road, it's gonna kill itself.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Raphaelsparza on your radio. It is Thursday. We'll tell you
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: where you can follow him here in just a bit.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: NFL preseason are you are you dolling in and anything?
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Tonight?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You got a couple of ball games tonight and does
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: is going to play for half tonight for the Riders.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: He's gone for that job.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's I think that's gonna be interesting to watch.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: I mean unders. There were seventeen games last week in
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: preseason Week one, twelve of them went under the total.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: It went shocked we have both of these games go under,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: especially the forty nine Ers and CHARGERSM a little bit
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: shocked that you could still get plus one and a
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: half on the Chargers. I mean San Francisco was all
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: banged up. Their injury list is so huge, and I
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: think the Chargers will establish the run and I want
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: to run the ball, and they have a cook good
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: battle at QB with Trey Lance and DJ. I'm not
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: even gonna try to pronounce his last name because I
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: always butcher. It's so I could see them having a
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: nice quarterback battle. So I think unders on both games.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: I probably especially now if the Raider total just moved
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: to thirty nine just now as we're speaking.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: And of course you got a full slight of preseason games.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: This is kind of like the last week. I think
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that we'll see all the starters and you know, week
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: is we're getting down to you know, cutting season, to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: get down to the fifty three man, so this will
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: be the last you know, I guess exciting week. Next
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: week is just kind of a prep for the next week.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: That's troupe. So if if let's say, if DJ beats
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: trade Lance for the backup quarterback in trade Lance come
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: back to school? Is that what we were talking about?
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, why not? Right?
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: I mean I just wanted to make sure if that
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: we were in the same boat.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you could be. Let me ask you this.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Look at some futures in the NFL. We've talked some
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: futures in college. You know, when you look at the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: futures and we talked about this a little bit with you.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: But when you look at the futures for the Super Bowl,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the Rams obviously way out in front. Who is the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: best team in the AFC? I mean Buffalo right now
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: at ten to one that I'm looking at here in
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the shop to win the Super Bowl. Baltimore to eleven
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: to one, Chiefs fifteen to one, Chargers seventeen to one.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the Chiefs are anywhere between fifteen and seventeen and one.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Still second largest number Patrick Mahomes had had his rookie year,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: they were thirty to one. It's a little bit crazy,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: I know. I still think it's there. Could be the
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Chargers in Denver. I like those two are the way
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: the Chargers they getting between eighteen to one to twenty
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Chargers at twenty. I'm not sold at Baltimore. I'm not
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: sold at Buffalo. I think the Super Bowl Champions has
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: closed both teams and the Chiefs. The Chiefs still have
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: so many questions question marks with the health of Patrick Mahomes,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: the newlywed. They really didn't improve their defense. Too many
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: question marks for me in Kansas City.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: You know, when you look at some of these divisional
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: races out there, some of them are really really close,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: you know, then some of them are not. I mean,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: obviously Buffalo the leader at the in the AFC East,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and what I'm looking at minus one forty eight New
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: England plus one thirty five the Dolphins and Jets way
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: out of the scope there. Ravens a significant favorite to
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: win the North in the AFC the South.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Who is the best team in the South?
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Mexens are the leader in the clubhouse right now, you know, Curtisey,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: if you guys, the Insigners. But Jaguars, Colts, Titans are
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: out of that thing, probably, but maybe a three team
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: race in that division.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Probably. But I mean, Houston's just got devastating news last
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: was it yesterday when they lost their ride receiver. I
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: like Jacksonville. I mean, no one's talking about the Jaguars.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: They were really good last year. I think their defense
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: is going to be just as good as last year.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: But I think the reason why Houston Wheney's coming in
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: because we all remember how great that defense was, but
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: still have question marks offensive side. I'll take the two
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: two to one or higher on Jacksonville.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Is the NFC North.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Could we make an argument this year is that the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: toughest division in football. Kyler Murray Minnesota. I know they're
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the you know, back end of the bus. Here at
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: five to one to win the NFC North.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: CALLEB.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Williams in Chicago, Green Bay, Detroit, Detroit that leader at
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: plus one sixty.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's that's the toughest division in football. I mean,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: NFC North is so wide open, and I love the
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Vikings at Florida one and the division. I'm not sold
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: on Detroit. They don't have that two headed monster running
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: backs anymore. Is Jordan Love finally going to get out
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: of the shadow and do something? Can the Bears repeat
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: what they did last year? That's why I'll give me
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: the Vikings. I love Tyler Murray in that spot. I'll
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: take the Florida One.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: What else is going on this week?
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, you don't want to talk about the great their
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: NFC South. It's a great division and stuff like that. No,
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: we won't talk about that. It's we have pre season
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: week two, we have baseball, we got boxing, we got
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: UFC this weekend, and horse racing. It's my favorite time
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: at Delmark, California, the Pacific Classic. I used to attend
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: that all the time, so it's just a great weekend
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: to stay inside, put the air conditioning on even lower
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: because it's hot everywhere, especially in the patio. That no
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: one ever invites me to go outside of the patio.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: But it's just a stay inside in the air conditioning
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: and watch a lot of sports. Literally, come on.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well do y'all do numbers for that?
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Unfortunately? Yes, but you know, here's a quick story. There's
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: more betting action on California to win the Lower League
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: World Series than there is Chelsea to win the English
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Premier League.
