  Millionaire for Life from the Iowa Lottery play today.
• 0:28
  Woo Hoo. All right, good afternoon.
• 0:37
  Nice to have you with us here on a Wednesday.
• 0:40
  Anything else going on? Miller and Colin that are going
• 0:45
  out? We'll take you until 2:00
• 0:46
  talking sports with you. Appreciate you being with us
• 0:50
  here as Iowa State and Arizona State are still playing in their
• 0:55
  first half. Meanwhile, Iowa and Maryland,
• 0:57
  they've gone to the break. Maryland, who couldn't miss
• 0:59
  early in the basketball game, clings to a one point lead at
• 1:02
  halftime. Terps 26, Hawks 25.
• 1:05
  That's the latest on that one. Arizona State and Iowa State.
• 1:08
  Iowa State opening up a little bit.
• 1:10
  They're up 1727 to 10/7 and 1/2 minutes or thereabouts left in
• 1:15
  the first quarter. We'll keep you up to date on
• 1:17
  that. We'll do some instant reacts.
• 1:19
  Hopefully we'll be able to get to each of the venues, get
• 1:22
  somebody to join us after the Iowa game, maybe halftime of the
• 1:26
  Iowa State game down in Kansas City.
• 1:28
  But that's our plan. No guests here today, just TC
• 1:31
  and I talking futures in sports and whatever else pops up.
• 1:36
  Have you? As I started the second-half,
• 1:38
  I'm saving my battery life. No, they have not.
• 1:40
  No, we're we're still a few moments away from the start of
• 1:43
  the second-half as the Hawkeyes Trail Crappy Maryland 2625 and
• 1:49
  well, not just trail, but they got down double figures.
• 1:51
  They were Trent. It was they couldn't make a shot
• 1:52
  to save their lives early, but thankfully they closed the gap a
• 1:56
  little. What is Koch from the threes?
• 1:58
  2 for 4/2 for 4. Bennett, Sturtz. 2 for four from
• 2:01
  the floor 1 to. Three, one to three, right, one
• 2:03
  to three. Sturz cannot hit three.
• 2:05
  He's old for four. Collectively, the team is 2 for
• 2:09
  two for 10. These bifocals, they don't work
• 2:11
  but. It's a problem, it really is.
• 2:14
  Works better when they work. Yeah, or just take them off and
• 2:16
  I'm trying not to do that anyways.
• 2:18
  Bennett Sturtz looks tired. I said as much yesterday, Trent.
• 2:21
  It's I saw a stat in the last 15 games he played 595 of the 600
• 2:26
  and available minutes and this and and I, as I phrased it
• 2:30
  yesterday, no offense to the Valley Big 10's more physical
• 2:34
  basketball league and I think it's taken its toll.
• 2:37
  I really do. We talked about this in the
• 2:39
  preseason. You can't run a guy.
• 2:42
  They do. We go back to the first Nebraska
• 2:45
  game and running nearly 6 miles in that game as he was chasing.
• 2:48
  Is that what he see? I was on vacation.
• 2:50
  I never saw those. Stats.
• 2:51
  It was 5.9 miles that he ran in that game.
• 2:54
  Kidding me? Yes.
• 2:55
  Just absolutely ridiculous. It is.
• 2:57
  And now you see a guy that looks tired, has no lift.
• 3:01
  How many flat shots have we seen here during the first half of
• 3:03
  this one 11:00 game? OK, you're not playing for your
• 3:09
  NCAA tournament lives. Nope.
• 3:11
  But maybe you're playing for Dayton, You lose this one, maybe
• 3:15
  you lose this one. There's still a lot of teams
• 3:17
  that would have to pass. Even a close one.
• 3:20
  Just a win. That's I, I think a win.
• 3:22
  They're fine. No, I think they absolutely are.
• 3:24
  But what what if they if they do get beat?
• 3:26
  I guess what I'm trying, I'm trying to get him off the 8-9
• 3:28
  line. Oh, that's no, I think you're
• 3:31
  toying with Dayton because. Ullman says there's a chance
• 3:35
  they fall to 10 and stay away from Dayton.
• 3:37
  I had him yesterday. bracketville.com for him, talk
• 3:41
  to him about that very scenario. Would it be better for Iowa to
• 3:43
  lose this game? Doesn't matter they're are they
• 3:46
  beating A2 either. Well, I'd much rather take a
• 3:48
  chance against the two as opposed to a mission in Arizona,
• 3:51
  Florida or a a Duke. But they're not beating Houston,
• 3:54
  they're not beating Sparty, they're not beating Illinois.
• 3:58
  This team, what we've seen the last month, they're not beating
• 4:00
  those teams. I know they played well against
• 4:02
  Michigan. That was at home.
• 4:04
  Nebraska is a good match up for them and they still came
• 4:07
  battling back as the second-half is underway and Maryland with A3
• 4:10
  pointer. Are you kidding me?
• 4:11
  Let me get my. Phone 2925 Terrapins.
• 4:14
  We will keep you abreast of this awful, hideous situation.
• 4:17
  But back to Bennett. So.
• 4:18
  Do you OK? Yep, go ahead.
• 4:20
  He this is a three they. He's good at that.
• 4:25
  He's old for five now. It's unbelievable.
• 4:28
  You run this guy at this level. You see what we've seen here for
• 4:33
  recently, didn't play well against Nebraska, didn't have a
• 4:36
  whole lot there. How many times that they just
• 4:38
  start at this possession, they're going to run him into
• 4:39
  the corner. This goes all the way back to
• 4:41
  the Iowa State game, The Iowa State game, remember how for a
• 4:44
  long stretch, but it starts looked awful.
• 4:46
  He was bad in that game. Sure, but the Iowa State's got
• 4:49
  some elite defenders. But instead of we're going to
• 4:53
  give him this possession off and run him to the corner, instead
• 4:55
  of doing that, why don't you get him a break, get him 2-3 minutes
• 5:01
  each half. Because what we're seeing now,
• 5:05
  this was the wrong course. This was the wrong course for
• 5:08
  this team to play it in this fashion.
• 5:10
  They are. Struggling by man Yao.
• 5:13
  Just wait. It is a loss to Maryland.
• 5:17
  I think they're going to Dayton because I go back to the last
• 5:20
  time they were shipped to Dayton.
• 5:22
  The last time they were calling a playing game.
• 5:24
  Oh, absolutely not. Because it wasn't.
• 5:25
  And I also hated that I hate you.
• 5:28
  I hated the people that called it a play in game.
• 5:31
  Just as a fan. I hated that because I had gone
• 5:34
  through the depths of watching every single awful Todd
• 5:37
  Licklider basketball game and watching that garbage and
• 5:39
  watching how bad and how much I hated Steve Alford and the way
• 5:42
  that he had run the programmed out.
• 5:44
  I was just happy to see I would go out onto that floor.
• 5:47
  To the blue carpets. With the NCAA logo on there, it
• 5:50
  was an NCAA tournament game. It wasn't a play in for me as a
• 5:54
  fan that wasn't. That was an NCAA tournament
• 5:57
  game. We're splitting hairs.
• 5:58
  I was with Fran on that one. Against doc and me.
• 6:01
  Yes, absolutely. And yeah, definitely not alone.
• 6:04
  I know there were plenty of people that way.
• 6:06
  It wasn't a playing game. They're in the NCAA tournament.
• 6:08
  That's how I looked at it. Put that aside that year, you
• 6:12
  look through their resume, that should not have been a team ship
• 6:14
  to Dayton. The only reason that they were
• 6:17
  is because they struggled down the stretch at the time.
• 6:20
  Refresh my memory about the Big 10 tournament.
• 6:23
  They got beat in the first game by an awful Northwestern team
• 6:26
  like this awful Maryland team. They lost I.
• 6:29
  Back within one. Seven out of eight, something
• 6:31
  like that. Seven out of eight down the
• 6:33
  stretch kind. Of like this Iowa team.
• 6:34
  This would be 7 out of nine for Iowa down the stretch, including
• 6:37
  two losses to awful Maryland. A loss to off and another three
• 6:40
  from the logo. We're not supposed to do play by
• 6:42
  play. Yeah.
• 6:44
  Well, we're not. We're not.
• 6:45
  I just say, yeah, right. It is just what do you go
• 6:50
  through and you look at last 10 doesn't matter anymore.
• 6:53
  It was last 12 or last 10 games at the end of the season.
• 6:56
  That doesn't matter. It's your resume as a whole.
• 6:58
  It's garbage. We know it's a lie because we
• 7:00
  see it every single year and this team leaking oil like they
• 7:04
  are. If they lose to Maryland, I
• 7:06
  believe they're going to be shipped to date even though the
• 7:08
  resume says that they shouldn't when you look at those.
• 7:11
  Totality 1111, V 11. Yeah, I mean, it'll depend on
• 7:17
  what else has happened in. The Is that the worst thing?
• 7:21
  Yeah, you do have to. Win an extra game, but you avoid
• 7:24
  the one and the two conceivably. Again, I I just that would.
• 7:29
  Be three wins to get out of the first weekend.
• 7:31
  I think it's. I think the path is easier that
• 7:32
  way, don't you? Well, mathematically it still
• 7:35
  says it's more difficult. It's more difficult because
• 7:37
  there's an extra game, but you avoid the.
• 7:39
  You're playing two toss up games and then two games where you're
• 7:42
  underdogs, Sure, but as opposed to one toss up game?
• 7:44
  You just said they can't wait A1 or A2 and they're going to have
• 7:47
  to do that to get out of the first weekend.
• 7:49
  Right I I. Think I like the path better?
• 7:51
  I hope you're right. Send him to Dayton.
• 7:54
  Send him to Dayton. If you want him out of the first
• 7:56
  week, if you want him to survive the first weekend of the
• 7:59
  tournament, I think they've got a better chance and.
• 8:01
  They're not surviving the. First.
• 8:01
  Well, I don't think they are. Either they're not surviving the
• 8:04
  first weekend, so Bracket Matrix currently has them as the top #9
• 8:08
  seed. Top 9 So they really got some
• 8:10
  work to do to fall. Yes, teams, by the way.
• 8:13
  They have taken the lead in this basketball game.
• 8:16
  Cooper Cop, He's heating up. There you go, Cooper teams below
• 8:20
  them, TCU. They win a couple of games,
• 8:25
  though. Yeah, they can surpass Iowa,
• 8:27
  Ohio State. Who will they play if they do
• 8:29
  survive? They play them tomorrow.
• 8:31
  Yeah, this time. Texans, A&M work to do UCF.
• 8:33
  We'll see later today. NC State who's in a tussle with
• 8:37
  Pitt I. Saw that?
• 8:38
  Yeah. 5150, I think the score there.
• 8:40
  Missouri, they got a path they can make a run in the SEC Santa
• 8:45
  Clara is in in bracket matrix. By the way, nice call 2 nights
• 8:49
  ago on Yeah. Yeah, got the outright victory
• 8:51
  there. Texas, SMU, VCU, Indiana.
• 8:53
  These are all teams still in the bracket, but below Iowa.
• 8:57
  They're not going to fall out. I just I can't envision how I
• 9:01
  walk falls out of the bracket completely.
• 9:04
  Is Auburn or did you mention Auburn?
• 9:05
  They are out in bracket matrix. They are the first team out
• 9:09
  there listed in 13 brackets. And they've got how many losses,
• 9:12
  15? It's either 14 and they'll get
• 9:15
  their 15th in the SEC, or maybe they're already at 50.
• 9:17
  I think they are. I get it.
• 9:19
  They got a nice win against Florida, Yeah.
• 9:20
  That's a nice win. They they have some decent wins
• 9:23
  on that resume, but what do you have?
• 9:25
  What do you have that many opportunities?
• 9:28
  It's one thing for a team that's 20 and 12, even 19 and 13, when
• 9:32
  we get to that level of losses and all the opportunities that
• 9:36
  you have, yes, you played a difficult schedule.
• 9:37
  Nobody's going to take that away.
• 9:39
  Absolutely. You played a difficult schedule,
• 9:40
  but what have you proven? Prove that you can lose to
• 9:42
  everybody? Yes, you lose to home to a bad
• 9:45
  old message. That's that's the only thing
• 9:48
  really to me that they've proven.
• 9:50
  I find with Auburn being out, some of the ACC also ran Pontek
• 9:55
  losing yesterday. The bubble continues to be
• 9:57
  pretty good for Iowa even if the WCC steals one.
• 10:00
  And we'll get 2 teams out of the Mack if Akron or Bowling Green
• 10:03
  or somebody else outside of everybody wins it.
• 10:05
  Yeah. And I think I mean is, is Akron
• 10:07
  favored to win? They are, yeah.
• 10:09
  That's what I thought pretty prohibitively.
• 10:10
  It's unbelievable. I was.
• 10:11
  They're a good basketball. But they played.
• 10:12
  Did they play once in regular season?
• 10:14
  That sounds great. I think they only played one
• 10:16
  time. I like Bowling Green at 22 to
• 10:19
  one. How do you?
• 10:20
  Yeah. Have you got a ticket?
• 10:21
  I do a boy, you know, via my conference tournament tickets.
• 10:25
  We got home with Queens over the weekend.
• 10:27
  By the way, yeah, we just taped our Mediacom show.
• 10:29
  Not by by the way, Trent, but you were beside me, so you know
• 10:32
  this. I remember.
• 10:32
  But by the way, when it flashed up on the screen, I'd never seen
• 10:36
  Queen's logo before. Oh, really?
• 10:38
  Yes. Yeah, Queens, by the way,
• 10:41
  coached by, I don't know, a William Penn grad.
• 10:44
  Really. Yes, played basketball.
• 10:46
  I think a William Penn is there. Yes, absolutely.
• 10:48
  We'll take every local connection possible.
• 10:50
  He is also a guy. He wears goofy sweaters.
• 10:53
  Like what kind? Like during Christmas time,
• 10:56
  he'll wear an ugly Christmas sweater.
• 10:57
  He'll have something with the different logos that are
• 10:59
  stitched down there. He had a Saint Patrick's one
• 11:02
  day, one that he was wearing. So he wears goofy sweater. 17th
• 11:05
  right. 17th of March. It is every.
• 11:06
  Year. Yeah, it is, yes.
• 11:08
  That's one that doesn't move around like Easter does, right?
• 11:11
  We get that. Or Thanksgiving we get.
• 11:12
  Halloween in Iowa. Not anymore.
• 11:16
  That's not even Iowa. Don't throw the rest of us
• 11:18
  Iowans in here. That was just, that was stupid.
• 11:20
  Des Moines with the right. Understand it.
• 11:24
  They're showing the statues Jordan statue outside the United
• 11:29
  Centre when they come back from break.
• 11:30
  My God, I love the United centre.
• 11:32
  Haven't been there a ton, but we I mean, it's a big building.
• 11:35
  It is a massive, massive structure.
• 11:39
  So you walk in it and you can tell, yeah, it's a big building.
• 11:41
  Yeah, you're, you're in a a major sporting venue.
• 11:45
  So the first time that it went for a Big 10 tournament, it
• 11:48
  would have been early in France tenure.
• 11:49
  In fact, it was the game where they were jobbed by TV Ted
• 11:53
  Valentine, who did not do another Iowa game for another
• 11:56
  five years afterwards, of how poorly officiated that
• 11:58
  basketball game was. Fran absolutely.
• 12:01
  So how did that happen? Obviously, obviously.
• 12:05
  They saw the tape. Yeah, I I'm sure the big Ted
• 12:07
  officers. Saw they would Bolsby have sent
• 12:10
  that? Would McCaffrey have sent that?
• 12:11
  How? No, that would have been Barta.
• 12:13
  Barta, I've been. Bolsby.
• 12:14
  I meant say Barta. I meant say Barta.
• 12:15
  Of course, I'm sure. Yeah.
• 12:17
  It was a screw shot. It was off.
• 12:19
  I don't remember it. It was Michigan State doing
• 12:21
  Michigan State things. I was up double figures.
• 12:23
  And then they clutch and grab and hold Roy Devin Marble.
• 12:27
  That guy had to have bruises in every single.
• 12:29
  Partner, didn't he? He did.
• 12:31
  Did he go on to play in Europe? I think so.
• 12:33
  I don't know if it, but he played, yeah, he played
• 12:35
  professionally and made some money certainly doing that.
• 12:37
  But that was the game. But walking in there.
• 12:40
  So I had media pass. Yep, sitting in media role and
• 12:43
  it was halftime. You were on media role.
• 12:44
  Well, in the upper media part, they had like a mezzanine, kind
• 12:48
  of. Did they OK, 'cause you know
• 12:50
  where they parked this for the Sweet 16 against Virginia?
• 12:53
  Where at the very top of I'm not bitching.
• 12:55
  I'm not. I'm not like the folks that were
• 12:57
  down there. By the way, I think that the,
• 12:59
  the big 10, the Big 12 blinked. The big is back on the floor.
• 13:02
  Oh, are they according? To Jeff Goodwin, but yeah, I'm
• 13:05
  not being that guy. I'm just using this point of
• 13:06
  reference because we just said how big the building was.
• 13:09
  My media pass was up in the I could touch the ceiling.
• 13:13
  Oh, that high, that high up. You were way up, way up at the
• 13:16
  top of the building. And oh, it's big.
• 13:19
  I went up to see my wife and my buddies, then they had tickets
• 13:24
  upstairs. So I went up there halftime and
• 13:27
  I was shocked. I mean, you go from being in the
• 13:30
  mid level of it, all right? This is a big building, kind of
• 13:32
  look up there and then just seeing how I can't imagine
• 13:35
  watching hockey from up there. How can you can't see anything?
• 13:38
  You can see the guys moving and see the play developing.
• 13:41
  Yeah, but I think it'd be worse for basketball.
• 13:43
  I know it's slower. It was bad.
• 13:44
  Yeah, I had to have been. But they were not letting people
• 13:46
  sneak into that lower. Level no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 13:49
  no, no. That's for sure.
• 13:51
  I saw beers at the Big 10 tournament.
• 13:54
  Somebody posted on X yesterday, $25 for a beer.
• 13:58
  What, 25 bucks for a beer at the Big 10 tournament?
• 14:01
  $25 bet it starts has hit a three.
• 14:04
  Pointer. Oh, the bells ring out and the
• 14:05
  banners flies and Hawks move up. They're in front by 8.
• 14:08
  Meanwhile, Iowa State, they are putting it to the Arizona State.
• 14:13
  The Sun Devils in a whole heap of trouble down 20 with 410 left
• 14:17
  in the basketball game, and Iowa State has the ball down 20.
• 14:21
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Down 20, so Hurley's done.
• 14:25
  Yeah, yeah. Down, down 23, I should say.
• 14:28
  Esmond Chilovich found range from three.
• 14:31
  So the Arizona State job, never a great job, though we saw Bill
• 14:39
  Frieder take that job leaving Michigan.
• 14:41
  He talked about a head scratching decision.
• 14:43
  I get he was later in his life, and maybe he wanted to.
• 14:45
  He thought he could pull a loot. Yeah.
• 14:47
  What Luke did, he thought he could do at Arizona State and
• 14:49
  the last. That didn't happen, though he
• 14:51
  had decent success. Certainly not what he was
• 14:53
  building at Michigan. Would you go to school there if
• 14:56
  you were a basketball player? Oh, God.
• 14:58
  Yeah. You.
• 14:59
  I mean, I get why you would have you.
• 15:01
  No, I've been. I I get why you?
• 15:02
  Would at 18. Years old, that's when that's my
• 15:05
  point. Could you focus on basketball if
• 15:08
  you're going to school at Arizona?
• 15:09
  State. I don't think that many of them
• 15:11
  really. Well, they're not going on for
• 15:12
  the next level. I agree with you.
• 15:14
  You, you have that opportunity, well say your opportunities are
• 15:18
  Colorado, beautiful campus. Beautiful campus.
• 15:22
  Or Arizona State. Yeah, it doesn't.
• 15:24
  Snow at Arizona State, you doesn't get a lot of snow.
• 15:27
  You don't like skiing? No, not a snowboarder, right?
• 15:30
  And let's be honest, what we're talking about here, it's the
• 15:33
  coeds. There's so many hot chicks
• 15:35
  there. I remember the two trips to
• 15:37
  Arizona, and Arizona State was a completely different level.
• 15:41
  Yeah, as a young man in my early 20s.
• 15:43
  As opposed to Tucson, you mean? Yes, Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:46
  That was an eye opening experience and we had the deluge
• 15:50
  that came roaring down there right before kick off of that
• 15:53
  game against Arizona State back in 2004 and they delayed the
• 15:56
  game for I think another 45 minutes.
• 15:58
  Remember. Is that right?
• 15:59
  Andrew Walter threw all over and Iowa scored down 44.
• 16:03
  Nothing late in that one to get on the board.
• 16:05
  It was ugly and it was a late kick, wasn't it A late kick for
• 16:08
  for Iowa? A punt return.
• 16:09
  Now, if you pull this name out 22 years later, returned by
• 16:13
  Iowa, Iowa, this is the only score of the game.
• 16:16
  I have no idea. I I might, no, I have no idea.
• 16:19
  Walner Belius. Nope.
• 16:21
  Nope. With the punt return for the
• 16:23
  touchdown. Iowa.
• 16:24
  What happened to Walter Belt? Say his name again.
• 16:26
  Walner, Walner, Belnius. Belius.
• 16:29
  He sounds made-up or made-up or Amish.
• 16:33
  OK, no, I don't I don't I. Doubt that's the case right, but
• 16:38
  it sounds like I wonder what he went on to do in life.
• 16:41
  It's a great question. Got his player profile here for
• 16:44
  Hawkeye Recap. Find his LinkedIn page.
• 16:47
  See, he is a football coach. Is he really?
• 16:50
  Yeah. Where at American Rivers
• 16:53
  Conference Roll rivers? What is this Walner Belius
• 16:58
  University of Dubuque week of no this the end up playing.
• 17:03
  There's another Walner Belius. Out there, that's what I've
• 17:06
  looked now this is the same guy. So he ended his career playing
• 17:10
  for Dubuque University of Dubuque.
• 17:12
  So he transferred. He transferred at the end,
• 17:15
  finished up his eligibility there at the University of
• 17:17
  Dubuque, Dodge City College. That's where he came from.
• 17:21
  And yeah, there is the 83 yard punt return.
• 17:24
  Kyle Schlicker added the PAT. How about that as Iowa falls 44
• 17:28
  seven to the Sun Devils? Iowa has opened up a 10 point
• 17:32
  lead there and I think it's a 14 O run and they're got an and one
• 17:36
  opportunity Combs. I believe it was with the with
• 17:39
  the dunk and got away. Maybe a little chicken wing but
• 17:43
  that's OK. So it'll be the Buckeyes if they
• 17:45
  hold on. If they hold on.
• 17:47
  We'll talk a little bit more about that matchup because we
• 17:49
  know the last time that they battled a couple weeks ago, I
• 17:52
  would dominate. It was a great game.
• 17:54
  That might have been one of the better games of the year, Trent.
• 17:56
  Oh absolutely. Yeah, I definitely put it in
• 17:58
  there. Iowa State's get a cruise,
• 18:00
  they'll get Texas Tech. So we got plenty of time that
• 18:03
  we're going to spread out our wings a little bit here today
• 18:05
  and talk about some of these matchups that we like.
• 18:07
  They're going to see, but Iowa comes out of the locker room.
• 18:09
  Good to see you needed this. No up 11 up 1113 1/2 minutes
• 18:14
  left. Quick NFL note.
• 18:16
  What do you make about the whole Mason Crosby thing?
• 18:18
  And I, I thought it was very apparent very quickly once they
• 18:24
  the Ravens, they said he failed his physical.
• 18:26
  He might well have failed his physical, but this shouldn't
• 18:28
  have been a surprise to anyone. Trent, this was, this was
• 18:31
  Baltimore having buyer's remorse.
• 18:33
  I don't think there's any way around it.
• 18:34
  I really don't. Especially when Trey Hendrickson
• 18:37
  was still out there and he'd be. And you don't have to give up to
• 18:39
  first round picks for a guy who's Is there much difference
• 18:42
  between Max Crosby and Trey Hendrickson.
• 18:45
  Little bit of age what? 2 years difference maybe?
• 18:46
  Yeah, but the two first round picks that you keep in your back
• 18:49
  pocket, I don't know what what are the what are the Raiders
• 18:53
  going to do? Obviously they're not going to
• 18:55
  get 2 first round picks. How can you keep this guy?
• 18:58
  Well, and now with the medicals and then you have a bunch of
• 19:00
  Gray area here. You start with were the Raiders
• 19:04
  upfront about his injuries? I don't know what that looks
• 19:07
  like. And even, excuse me, hearing
• 19:09
  people that think they know, believe they don't, I don't
• 19:13
  think they know what these actual conversations are between
• 19:17
  general managers. All right, yes, he has to pass
• 19:19
  the physical. What do you know?
• 19:21
  What can you tell us? What can you send us?
• 19:23
  How involved is that? I have no clue.
• 19:25
  It is talk about great guesswork.
• 19:27
  That is all it is, is you're guessing what kind of medicals
• 19:30
  you're getting from the front side of things.
• 19:32
  Because there's people that believe that the Raiders were
• 19:33
  trying to hide something and their thought they were just
• 19:35
  going to be able to pass it through.
• 19:37
  There's others. Of those people are Ravens fans.
• 19:39
  Right then there's other people that believe that the Raven
• 19:43
  side, this was a medical that could be passed, but like you
• 19:45
  said, there's buyer's remorse that they looked at it or maybe
• 19:48
  even look at the public sentiment that it was out there.
• 19:51
  I. Think that's part of it, too.
• 19:52
  And here's the thing. Why would you announce a trade
• 19:54
  going forward knowing that this process until the league year
• 19:58
  starts, these trades could be taken back just as simple as
• 20:02
  they did yesterday, right? There's nothing that says they
• 20:04
  have to go through with this trade.
• 20:06
  Geno Smith, The Jets could get cold feet, right?
• 20:09
  Yeah. And say, you know what?
• 20:11
  We have a second thoughts. We don't want Geno Smith.
• 20:13
  You guys take them back. The good news for the Raiders
• 20:17
  is, is they went into the offseason, into the free agency
• 20:19
  period with more cap money than I think anyone by a significant
• 20:23
  number. So all of those signings,
• 20:25
  knowing that Max Crosby comes back on the books, I think
• 20:28
  they're still fine. Yes, absolutely.
• 20:30
  You know, when you look at this situation, it's kind of
• 20:33
  surprising this doesn't happen more now.
• 20:36
  We don't see a ton of trades in the NFL in comparison to
• 20:38
  obviously Major League Baseball in the NBA and NHL.
• 20:41
  It's a different kind of sport because of that, but these
• 20:44
  physicals, you're going to find something for a football player
• 20:47
  that's been playing for. If you look hard enough, yes.
• 20:49
  12/15/20 years of football. Things, I'm going to guess are
• 20:53
  going to crop up for seemingly every single person.
• 20:56
  Absolutely. I think you nailed it in the
• 20:58
  beginning part. It's buyers of Morse from
• 21:00
  Baltimore. You asked me on Monday, are you
• 21:03
  disappointed that the Bears didn't get him and look like it
• 21:05
  was trending that direction? I told you no because a
• 21:08
  Hendrickson's out there, but it was the asking price.
• 21:11
  Two first round. Picks cross Crosby's a really
• 21:13
  good player, you know, a really good guy to get to the
• 21:16
  quarterback and I know that's important.
• 21:18
  We saw that with the Super Bowl champion.
• 21:19
  What did he did? They do they can get to the
• 21:21
  quarterback with their front four.
• 21:22
  Boy, I'll say I think that is incredibly important.
• 21:24
  The Eagles 2 years ago, same thing.
• 21:26
  By the way, the Cowboys can get to the quarterback with their
• 21:28
  front 4. I'm just saying.
• 21:29
  The the Dallas Cowboys, those Cowboys.
• 21:32
  So I was on the line. I was going to try to hop on
• 21:34
  with you yesterday. So I heard you making your case
• 21:36
  for the Dallas Cowboys yesterday.
• 21:38
  And I said boy, who got into the sauce early Tuesday.
• 21:42
  Well, I was actually on a Monday night.
• 21:43
  I got into it then. Then I was trying to.
• 21:46
  That's why I do my worst, my worst work.
• 21:49
  Yeah, just trying to find those teams that maybe can be this
• 21:52
  year's Patriots. This time last year were 100 to
• 21:54
  1. 100 to 1. You know how that that Seahawks
• 21:57
  were. 80 to 1. They were.
• 21:59
  That's you know why, why keeping up the Patriots.
• 22:00
  They didn't win. I should use the Seahawks
• 22:02
  example. They were 80 to one.
• 22:04
  Those tickets cash. They cash those tickets.
• 22:07
  By the way, I was I have a state is up 30 does see that right?
• 22:11
  32 now 3244 to 12 they lead in Iowa on a 20 to nothing run over
• 22:17
  the last five O 2 They lead it now by 16 against the Maryland
• 22:22
  Terrapins and Sean Roberts. See, my cash is bet.
• 22:25
  Yeah, you were making fun of him.
• 22:26
  I was. I was.
• 22:27
  What a waste of money. How can you bet on this team?
• 22:32
  I was been a red hot here in the second-half.
• 22:34
  I got the the second-half numbers for you and what Iowa
• 22:37
  has done is I pull it back up here. second-half box score.
• 22:41
  I was night at 12 from the floor five of seven from behind the
• 22:44
  arc. They have put up 25 points in
• 22:47
  the 1st 5 minutes plus of the half man Yao 3 for three from
• 22:50
  the floor. Banks one for one.
• 22:51
  He was the one that had that. I I, I said it was Combs, it was
• 22:55
  Banks. Banks, Yeah, Banks made his only
• 22:58
  shot 3 for three for Cooper Koch, all three pointers 2O
• 23:02
  four, including two 3 pointers for Bennett Sturtz along with
• 23:04
  four assists. The Hawks are finally clicking.
• 23:07
  It's good to see, absolutely good to see.
• 23:10
  Is Cooper Koch finally clicking? Yes, I think he is too.
• 23:13
  When we talked about him, the shot is so pretty and that's why
• 23:17
  he was baffling. That downturn that he had.
• 23:20
  It's a good looking shot. It's not that he struggles
• 23:23
  because mechanically things are off for things like it's a
• 23:27
  little bit flat sometimes that not quite the maybe the lift
• 23:30
  that you want, but this is still a guy coming into today.
• 23:34
  Take a guess what Cooper Koch was shooting from the
• 23:36
  three-point line for the season. Percentage wise, yeah.
• 23:39
  You know what? I have no idea What was it. 37.4
• 23:42
  coming in it felt a lot lower than.
• 23:44
  That I was going to say high 20s.
• 23:46
  Now obviously aided by a six by 6 for 12 performance the last
• 23:49
  time and it's going to go up it looks like here today, but
• 23:52
  beginning of the year it was going well.
• 23:54
  But here was the stretch that he really struggled going back to
• 23:59
  the Northwestern game. He was one O 410-5103, 207-2010
• 24:04
  against Wisconsin, one O 6 against Ohio State, but recently
• 24:08
  won five O 7 against Penn State, just one O 4 against Michigan
• 24:11
  and out today How? Did they lose that Penn State
• 24:12
  game? I mean, come on.
• 24:15
  Yeah. Right.
• 24:16
  Is that the difference between a seven and eight seat?
• 24:17
  I think it probably is one of the two.
• 24:20
  That's salt in the wound. It is, it really is because I
• 24:23
  desperately want him away from the 8-9 game.
• 24:27
  Just like the old days. The doctor Tom, Right.
• 24:28
  We're back where we started. Yep.
• 24:30
  He's funny, right? Water finds its level.
• 24:34
  It does. Iowa State is beating Arizona
• 24:37
  State 4513 with 45 seconds left in the half.
• 24:41
  That is unbelievable. We're going to see a lot of guys
• 24:44
  that normally wouldn't play and we'll probably see the floor for
• 24:46
  the only time in Kansas City here today.
• 24:48
  Meanwhile, Iowa looking pretty good.
• 24:51
  Trent up 17. Cruising a 21 nothing run and a
• 24:56
  foul against the Hawkeyes. You mentioned the NFLI want to.
• 25:01
  I saw FanDuel has come out with all their over unders for the
• 25:05
  NFL this season. You want to tackle those.
• 25:07
  Can we do some some Super Bowl? Stuff as well.
• 25:10
  Yep, absolutely. Because I think we should do
• 25:13
  some, what do they call it, alternate programming?
• 25:15
  Yes, yes, because basketball fans are watching or listening
• 25:20
  to basketball. And why wouldn't they be?
• 25:22
  But we will have full reaction of both the games right
• 25:24
  afterwards if you're. So we're not supposed to talk
• 25:27
  about these games the way we have.
• 25:28
  Been we're not going to get in trouble.
• 25:29
  We're not. No, we're we're not giving real
• 25:31
  play by right. No, we're not.
• 25:33
  Shot is up and good. No bet it starts goes dribble
• 25:36
  Dr. left side. No, we're not doing that.
• 25:38
  And by the way, recap your high school day from yesterday.
• 25:42
  So we got a big upset in the first game yesterday as Waukee
• 25:45
  Northwest led by future Illinois Fighting Illini big man Leandon
• 25:49
  Davis. Nebraska Cornhusker Colin Rice
• 25:53
  gets beat by the Johnston Dragons.
• 25:55
  Johnston wins at 4842. Jeez.
• 25:58
  Colin Rice is 6 foot eight. He was guarded by 5 foot 11,
• 26:01
  Nakari Cavil. Harry Cavill gave him the
• 26:05
  business. He was outstanding on the
• 26:07
  defensive end, made it incredibly difficult, beat him
• 26:09
  off the bounce a bunch of times. He was tremendous.
• 26:12
  That Johnson team up in the shorts all game long.
• 26:15
  Courtney Henderson's team, you know what they're going to do.
• 26:17
  They're going to defend you. He's been around a long time,
• 26:20
  hasn't. He started Waterloo, then at
• 26:22
  Hoover, lot of success there and now he's doing it at John.
• 26:25
  Did he not go to another city school?
• 26:27
  Am I missing 1? I know he's at Hoover for a
• 26:29
  long. Time yeah, I think Hoover was
• 26:30
  the only city school, if memory serves, could be off on that
• 26:33
  one. But his teams, they just grind
• 26:35
  you. They're so, so tough and walking
• 26:38
  northwest, it's been the sun. This whole group that has come
• 26:42
  through here under Coach Watson going back a couple years, even
• 26:45
  you know, with with Price Sanford, is he you?
• 26:46
  That's where he ended his career.
• 26:48
  Peyton. He was just at Waukee because it
• 26:50
  was just one school at the time. But always the knock against
• 26:53
  him. Biggest moments.
• 26:55
  Are they tough enough? And they ran into a tougher team
• 26:58
  again yesterday in Johnston and they out physical them and won
• 27:01
  that one Game 2 a lot more close than I anticipated.
• 27:05
  Cedar Rapids Prairie who? They have a guy year ago in the
• 27:10
  football playoffs. David Faison is his name.
• 27:14
  He is not real tall, maybe 6-1. I can't remember a more
• 27:19
  impactful defender in high school football that just
• 27:23
  wrecked have it all over the field since Pat Anger.
• 27:27
  Really. That is the level at the 4A5A
• 27:31
  'cause. You know how I feel about Pat
• 27:32
  Anger's high school career. With his shoulder dangling down
• 27:35
  one arm. Yes, and the that's the kind of
• 27:38
  havoc that David Faison played in a playoff game.
• 27:41
  Wow, out manned against Valley. And now is he?
• 27:43
  What's he going to do after his high school career's over?
• 27:45
  So he's going to walk on at Iowa.
• 27:48
  He's a tweener. Is he?
• 27:49
  I don't know if he's going to be big enough to build himself into
• 27:52
  a defensive tackle 'cause he's not real tall.
• 27:54
  He's probably 265. He was also on the hardwood,
• 27:58
  knocked down a couple of three pointers, a great passer.
• 28:01
  You can see the soft hands from him too.
• 28:03
  But he played running back for Prairie.
• 28:05
  They line him at defensive end. He was catching passes for him.
• 28:08
  You talk about do everything and if that kind of size, you have
• 28:12
  this idea of these well-rounded kind of perfect athletes, right?
• 28:16
  He's not the body type you think of, but that dude is just.
• 28:19
  And how tall did you say 6? 161 probably.
• 28:21
  I think he might have been listed 62 in the program.
• 28:24
  On the basketball, I'm not sure if he's quite there, but he is
• 28:27
  thick, he is strong, he's got soft hands, he can shoot it.
• 28:30
  He was fun to watch. He was incredible to watch.
• 28:33
  I think Iowa, when you're looking at a walk on that's
• 28:35
  going to make impact, put David Faizon.
• 28:37
  On not this year, but before his career, before his time, and I
• 28:40
  was those. Yeah, there's building that
• 28:42
  right to be done and those kind of things physically.
• 28:44
  But he's But if he gets in the weight room in a couple of
• 28:46
  years, this guy shows back up. You're thinking, where's he
• 28:48
  been? Yes, absolutely.
• 28:50
  Remember that name one more Faison.
• 28:51
  Faison. FAISONI believe it's pronounced
• 28:55
  Faison. All right, Ivory State up big
• 29:00
  4516, so they've cut it to 29. All right, here come the Sun
• 29:05
  demo. Little bounce in their step
• 29:08
  going into the locker room as they made the final basket of
• 29:10
  the first half to cut the deficit to 29.
• 29:14
  Iowa State's assisted on 11 of their sixteen made field goals
• 29:17
  cruise control and this is good because you got another early
• 29:20
  game tomorrow against Texas Tech that's.
• 29:21
  Right. And so tomorrow our plan is is
• 29:25
  you and I are going to be asked for like 5 minutes.
• 29:27
  Yep. And then we're going to bat,
• 29:28
  throw it back down to the KC Center and we'll get what game
• 29:31
  tomorrow, Johnston and Waukee. Yes, Johnston Waukee will be our
• 29:35
  game. 1215 tip off for that one. I will also have the first game
• 29:38
  as Cedar Falls, the number one undefeated Tigers who look
• 29:42
  outstanding again. Boy, they were great.
• 29:44
  But that'll be exclusively on the bull.
• 29:45
  That'll be yes, 96.9 we will have that one as they'll match
• 29:48
  up against Dowling Catholic 1030 tip off with the Maroons and the
• 29:52
  Tigers back here on KXNO. Then for Game 2 with a battle of
• 29:56
  purple Milwaukee against Johnston, they'll be battling
• 29:58
  for a spot in the state championship game.
• 30:01
  So that thing will wrap up and then we'll throw it back to you
• 30:03
  after that thing wraps and it'll be a fun day.
• 30:06
  Lot going on, super busy time. Looks like we're going to get
• 30:09
  both Iowa State and Iowa playing once again in this time.
• 30:12
  Slot if everything goes according to plan and it
• 30:14
  certainly looks like it is right now for both of the schools.
• 30:17
  We'll take our time out. We'll come back.
• 30:19
  We'll get into those win totals in the NFL, the Trent teased.
• 30:22
  I will do that next. Miller and Condon glad you're
• 30:24
  with us. You're listening the Iowa Sports
• 30:26
  Radio Network. Hi Miller and Condon 25 minutes

  Hawks up 9 much time TC-7 and 1/2 for roughly left in the
• 30:59
  basketball game. Seven O 9.
• 31:02
  Seven O 9 Maryland on a bit of a run here to cut it to 9 points.
• 31:05
  All right, let's go to the NFL. Let's get these FanDuel over
• 31:09
  unders. Do you bet them?
• 31:11
  I don't bet them as much as I at one time did.
• 31:14
  Well, there's one that stood out that I'm going to fire at, OK,
• 31:18
  Because I think there was one above others that was this.
• 31:20
  Absolutely shocked. Give me the, give me the
• 31:22
  division. I'll see if I can put it a
• 31:24
  pinpoint. Let's go to your division, OK?
• 31:26
  And I think this is a very intriguing one.
• 31:28
  For those that don't know, Ken, a Broncos fan, AFC West, I think
• 31:33
  all four of these are kind of interesting.
• 31:35
  So you're good at guessing kind of point spreads.
• 31:37
  So we're going to play that game a little bit with NFL season
• 31:39
  total. I know you've been perusing and
• 31:42
  firing at a lot of Super Bowl futures.
• 31:45
  This is a little bit different. All right, so everything's
• 31:47
  listed alphabetical. Let's start with your team.
• 31:50
  And this is what I was a little bit surprised.
• 31:51
  By they won 14 games last year, they had a soft schedule last
• 31:55
  year. That is not the case this year.
• 31:57
  They're going to get a first place schedule.
• 31:59
  They've done 0 in free agency, with the exception of resigning
• 32:03
  some of their own guys. One of only four teams, Eagles,
• 32:06
  Jags, Seahawks and Denver, have not gone outside the building to
• 32:09
  sign a free agent. Their win total trend is 10 1/2.
• 32:15
  It's 9 1/2 and I thought it was going to be 10 1/2.
• 32:19
  I thought it was going to be 10 1/2.
• 32:20
  So that was one that I was surprised.
• 32:22
  The 9 1/2 number, if you're looking to go over even money
• 32:26
  under -120 really. So a little bit of play, huh?
• 32:30
  If they open everything of -110 on the under, even more
• 32:33
  surprising on that front. All right, Next up in the
• 32:36
  division. Another three from Koch, by the
• 32:38
  way. Cooper needs to continue to do
• 32:41
  that here in the following weeks, the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 32:45
  The Chiefs last year finished. What were they, 6?
• 32:49
  11, I think so, yeah, that sounds right. 6 The Chiefs won
• 32:53
  six games this year. They are.
• 32:56
  I don't think they're the favourites to win the division.
• 32:58
  I'll say their number is 10 1/2. It is 10 1/2 now.
• 33:02
  You get some plus money plus 125 if you want to go over.
• 33:05
  OK. I know at some point this summer
• 33:07
  I'm going to bet on Chiefs to win a Super Bowl.
• 33:08
  Are you? Yeah.
• 33:09
  They're around what, 14 to 114 to one?
• 33:11
  Yeah, there might be a few better prices in the market
• 33:14
  than. This was DraftKings, yeah.
• 33:17
  Regardless, I know there's going to be that moment.
• 33:19
  Probably watching a Dodgers Padres game.
• 33:21
  Late at night Tuesday night. Football starting to get into
• 33:25
  the you know what? Yeah, or I'll read some article
• 33:28
  on Patrick Mahomes coming back and alright, let's do.
• 33:30
  It how he's ahead of schedule and how hungry he is and Kelsey
• 33:34
  swan song you want to win one more Andy Reid's gonna retire
• 33:39
  that rumours out there yeah I could see you doing that yeah
• 33:41
  it'll. You won't.
• 33:42
  No, no, no you won't. But other people 10 1/2, though
• 33:47
  I thought that one might be 9 1/2.
• 33:49
  I was. Did you?
• 33:49
  So you had them reversed the top 2, the Raiders.
• 33:54
  The Raiders have a well, they're the Raiders and they have a
• 33:57
  rookie quarterback in Fernando Mendoza, one would assume.
• 34:01
  Will they bring a veteran into if they bring in a veteran,
• 34:04
  let's let's say it's Kirk Cousins and I haven't seen that
• 34:07
  reported anywhere, but a a veteran of that ilk, would they
• 34:11
  start him for remember what they did?
• 34:13
  Kurt Warner, Eli Manning? Yep, absolutely.
• 34:16
  I could see that. I could see that.
• 34:18
  I think that would make sense. Definitely could play out Tom
• 34:21
  Brady. Is that something that he wants?
• 34:23
  Cuz he's gonna he's. Calling the shots?
• 34:24
  Yes, he's calling the shots. And at quarterback more than
• 34:26
  anything. Without a doubt, with without.
• 34:28
  A doubt you want him. Calling.
• 34:29
  So you've got a maybe the best tight end of the game, a running
• 34:33
  back that we think is going to be good.
• 34:35
  But offensive line was so bad last year, Gente couldn't do a
• 34:37
  thing. Receivers, they're over under
• 34:41
  win total. Are they all halves?
• 34:43
  Because I think the number six. So I don't know if I would go 6
• 34:47
  1/2 or 5 1/2. Well say 6 1/2 knowing I should
• 34:53
  probably should have gone the other 6 1/2.
• 34:55
  It's 5 1/2, Yeah, you were so close and you talked yourself
• 34:58
  maybe out of it. All right, So 5 1/2 the number
• 35:00
  for the Raiders. OK.
• 35:01
  Finally, the charges have the have the highest wind total in
• 35:04
  the division, don't they? It's it's it's 11 1/2.
• 35:10
  It's not, it's not, it's not 10 1/2.
• 35:14
  So it's 12 1/2. It's nine and a half.
• 35:16
  Oh God, take the overall. Daylight.
• 35:18
  That's I'm right there with you. And this was the one out of all
• 35:21
  32. Teams, you hate the Chargers.
• 35:22
  I love the Chargers. You do we.
• 35:25
  We have this argument every single summer.
• 35:27
  Now we won't this year. Will you miss it?
• 35:29
  I I will miss it. I will too.
• 35:30
  I will miss it every. Single part of it.
• 35:32
  Maybe I'll text you one night. We can debate the Chargers at
• 35:34
  some point. What do you put officially fire
• 35:37
  in again at some night? Yeah, I did it again, Trent.
• 35:39
  Yeah. Because can't help myself.
• 35:41
  I don't know how many times that happens through the summer, but
• 35:43
  you just. That's crazy.
• 35:46
  What am I missing? I don't know.
• 35:48
  They've, they're both of their starting offensive tackles were
• 35:51
  out for the year. They're both going to be back.
• 35:53
  They've got an elite offensive mind.
• 35:56
  Like my Daniel Wood didn't, wasn't cut out to be a head
• 35:58
  coach. He's a hell of an offensive
• 36:00
  coordinator. From that Shanahan tree.
• 36:03
  That's an upgrade. I, you know how I feel about
• 36:05
  Justin Herbert. I think he's terrific.
• 36:06
  Quarterback Omarion Hampton, he's a running back.
• 36:09
  Injuries are part of the game. I get it.
• 36:11
  They've got to upgrade the receiver position online gets
• 36:15
  better. I think their defense is really
• 36:16
  good. Yeah, I, I, I'd like them to win
• 36:19
  the division. I'm with you.
• 36:22
  I have division odds too. Well, they oh, now that I know
• 36:25
  where the win total is, I would have thought that they were the
• 36:27
  shortest price. Let's let's go over to the NFC
• 36:30
  North, the other division that matters.
• 36:32
  The We'll do those four teams, then we'll talk about.
• 36:34
  These are divisions we're going back to win totals.
• 36:36
  Yes, back to win totals. Let's start with.
• 36:39
  This division fascinates me. Trent fascinates me.
• 36:42
  Over under wins for the Chicago Bears.
• 36:45
  You're defending division champ. Want to say that again You like
• 36:49
  saying that don't blame you. It's a rarity yeah eleven wins
• 36:52
  out of this team last year 12 yes yes 11 and 6 Detroit is
• 36:59
  going to be better Green Bay is Green Bay.
• 37:02
  We underestimate them every year, their win total this year
• 37:07
  it's. 9 1/2 it is. 9 1/2, you got that right.
• 37:12
  The under little more heavily juiced -135 you like the over
• 37:17
  you can get plus 150 on the Bears and win 11 and six last
• 37:20
  season. Up next, the Detroit Lions.
• 37:24
  They were the worst team in the league in the division last
• 37:27
  year. They were putrid.
• 37:32
  Putrid at 9:00. And 8-9 and eight right.
• 37:33
  Still same record as as Minnesota, but for their
• 37:36
  standards over the last couple years.
• 37:39
  They had the best point differential in the whole
• 37:43
  division by the. Way did they really they?
• 37:44
  Were plus 68 on here. Second were the Packers plus 31,
• 37:47
  Bears plus 26 and even the Vikings plus 11. 10 1/2.
• 37:51
  It is 10 1/2. Which way are you leaning on?
• 37:55
  The Lions, right? Now over because of the
• 37:57
  schedule, The schedule 4th place schedule.
• 37:59
  Yeah, I think that's overrated. What is that 2 games?
• 38:02
  Yeah, yeah, two games and they're always hurt.
• 38:08
  They're always hurt, the Green Bay Packers.
• 38:13
  What'd they win last year? 9:00 and 7:00 and 1:00.
• 38:15
  Oh, they had that tie. That's right, 10 1/2.
• 38:21
  It is 10 1/2 the under a little bit of juice there -135 and.
• 38:26
  The Vikings are they were nine and eight last year.
• 38:29
  See this number was set be and we don't know who the
• 38:31
  quarterback is going to be. So FanDuel taking that into
• 38:34
  account, I would assume. They are.
• 38:37
  So I was is it 8 and? 1/2 it is 8 1/2 and the under
• 38:42
  -135 wow. So the state is coming into the.
• 38:45
  Quarterback, it's the quarterback.
• 38:46
  It's the it's, it's the uncertainty of who's going to
• 38:48
  play that position. That's crazy to.
• 38:51
  Me. Couldn't you do the NFC North?
• 38:54
  Because I like the Cowboys. I don't know why.
• 38:59
  Yes, Dallas the. Let's let's do them all.
• 39:02
  Let's do the North Dallas is they won seven games last year.
• 39:07
  They're the Cowboys. Do they get that bump because of
• 39:10
  the Cowboys? Oh yeah, yeah.
• 39:11
  So that that's baked into the price.
• 39:15
  I mean, I would like to be, I would like my opinion here to be
• 39:18
  validated. And then her number would be 10
• 39:21
  1/2. I don't think I'm going to get
• 39:22
  that lucky, but I will go 9 1/2. It's 8 1/2, so there's one to
• 39:26
  put in your back pocket. OK, maybe stack a few of these
• 39:29
  together. You can parlay a bunch of the
• 39:31
  wind totals together and get something.
• 39:32
  All right, let's see who is up. Well, the commanders of the
• 39:35
  interesting one, because they won five games last year and did
• 39:37
  so without a quarterback. A quarterback who the year
• 39:40
  before was the rookie of the year and if it would have,
• 39:42
  should have this team got to the NFC Championship Game.
• 39:47
  Washingtons 10 1/2. No, the Eagles are.
• 39:49
  I'll go 9 1/2. 7 1/2 for the commanders.
• 39:53
  For the commanders, there's another one to stack into your
• 39:55
  portfolio. So the Giants are going to get
• 39:58
  some love in this exercise. The Giants.
• 40:00
  They won four games last. Year have the same win total as
• 40:04
  the Commanders, 7 1/2 for the Giants.
• 40:06
  That would have gone lower. I would completely wrong in this
• 40:09
  division. So if I'm this, if I'm this out
• 40:13
  of tune on the other three teams, the Eagles must have a
• 40:15
  huge total. It must be 11 1/2. 10 1/2 ten
• 40:19
  and a half 10 1/2 on them all right so from there you're ready
• 40:22
  to jump into division should. We take a break.
• 40:25
  Let's do it. That's next.
• 40:27
  Miller and Condon, what do we got for updates?
• 40:29
  Arizona State, Iowa State still to break Maryland and Iowa in a
• 40:32
  time out. I've got this under 4 minute
• 40:34
  timeout. Iowa up 11. 126654 Hawkeyes lead
• 40:39
  with 355 to play. Good Stuff 1245 Miller and
• 40:43
  Condon, Iowa Sports Radio Network.
• 40:53
  Arizona State has cut it to 28. Come the Cats.
• 40:58
  I was up a dozen, 2:24 left in the basketball game, Maryland
• 41:02
  shooting free throws when they shouldn't have been.
• 41:04
  It was a they just made-up a foul underneath the basket.
• 41:07
  It's just they're getting involved.
• 41:09
  It drives me nuts. All right, let's get, oh, by the
• 41:11
  way, Daniel Jones back to the Colts.
• 41:13
  Two years, $100 million.88 of which is guaranteed for Danny
• 41:18
  Dimes and the Colts. Good gig if you can get it.
• 41:21
  Win that division. The well that that's a great
• 41:25
  leading question here because I got right into that.
• 41:27
  I got the odds right here in front of me.
• 41:29
  You're betting favorite. It's got to be, well, just say
• 41:32
  it's got to be the Texas. I'm not so sure it's
• 41:35
  Jacksonville. It is the Texas.
• 41:38
  Your first indication was the right 1 + 160 Jags a + 190 Colts
• 41:43
  plus 270. What's their win total?
• 41:47
  Tennessee intrigues me. They won 3 football games last
• 41:51
  year. They're going to get, I would
• 41:53
  think they're gonna get love to run the football from Notre
• 41:56
  Dame. They've made they've made a
• 41:58
  couple of splashes in free agency.
• 42:00
  They won three last year. If it's 5 1/2 or low, I don't
• 42:03
  think it'd be lower than 5 1/2. What is it 6 1/2 or 5 1/2?
• 42:07
  Well, it's on a different page here.
• 42:09
  OK, wins da da da. Got to go all the way down to
• 42:13
  Tennessee. That starts with AT still.
• 42:15
  Right. Yep, keep going. 6 1/2. 6 1/2.
• 42:18
  That's too many. I think it might be.
• 42:21
  All right, back to the division odds.
• 42:23
  All right, let's go. Sorry to throw your curve,
• 42:27
  that's all. Right as I have a scrolling
• 42:29
  through here, let's go to, to, to, to, to, to, to.
• 42:33
  I want to see the AFC North. All right.
• 42:35
  I like that division. I like that division a lot.
• 42:39
  There is a prohibitive favorite. And it's and it shouldn't be.
• 42:43
  And they're the prohibitive favorite every freaking year.
• 42:45
  And no, I don't believe in the Ravens.
• 42:48
  Minus. 140 Are they really? Where are the Bengals?
• 42:52
  They're the second choice. They.
• 42:53
  Should be the second choice. Plus 2:30.
• 42:56
  I'm in. Now the Steelers.
• 43:00
  And Aaron Rodgers has not said yay or nay, but he he has to be
• 43:04
  going back there, right? 6:00 to 1:00, Does that intrigue
• 43:08
  you? For one, just to have?
• 43:09
  No, no, no. You think they're going to be
• 43:13
  solid even minus Tomlin, McCarthy is going to be fine, a
• 43:18
  downgrade, but they're going to be OK.
• 43:20
  At minimum, their floor is high enough.
• 43:22
  What did you see from Rogers last year?
• 43:24
  Did you see a decline or just kind of what he's been the last
• 43:28
  couple of years? I thought he maybe improved from
• 43:31
  what was the year previous. I think there's something left
• 43:36
  there. Six, I'm interested.
• 43:38
  Okay, it's six to one, six to one.
• 43:39
  And Cleveland is what obviously a big price in there.
• 43:42
  What do you like to say twice beaten?
• 43:45
  Far back and well beaten far. Back and well, beaten that 117
• 43:48
  to what for the brownies, Let's go back to the NFC North.
• 43:52
  This is from FanDuel and I am shocked by these.
• 43:56
  Really. So if you're shocked by them,
• 43:59
  what shocks you? Are you shocked that Detroit was
• 44:02
  favored last year? The Bears won the division.
• 44:04
  The Packers are always right there.
• 44:06
  The Vikings, they don't have a quarterback.
• 44:08
  They must have made the Lions. If you're shocked, they must
• 44:10
  have made the Lions the favorite.
• 44:11
  Plus 160. Favorite.
• 44:13
  Really. I thought it'd be the Packers.
• 44:15
  They're 2 to one. Are they so they're second
• 44:17
  choice? They're the second choice.
• 44:18
  Bears third choice. Vikings fourth choice.
• 44:20
  Also, six to one. How about this?
• 44:22
  What would you rather bet the Vikings is 6 to one or the
• 44:26
  Steelers? I think Minnesota.
• 44:30
  I think Minnesota. I like Minnesota's receivers
• 44:32
  better. Their defense is kind of, I
• 44:36
  think, a push. Now there's talk of them moving
• 44:38
  on from Madison, the Vikings. Yeah, I think they probably.
• 44:41
  Because he's a Malka tent, yeah. He's a painting.
• 44:43
  Nailer's gone. Yeah.
• 44:45
  So maybe they don't move on is. That where they're looking in
• 44:48
  the draft. Perhaps.
• 44:51
  Perhaps I like Detroit and they're the like.
• 44:55
  I'm surprised at the favorite, but you tipped your hand when
• 44:57
  you said you were shocked. AFC West.
• 45:00
  The favorite should be the Los Angeles Chargers.
• 45:03
  My guess is to the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 45:05
  You're right on both accounts because they're tied right now,
• 45:07
  aren't they? They're both plus 170 as the
• 45:10
  betting favorite in that division.
• 45:11
  So Broncos 3 to 1. +2. 4240 yeah, that 3.
• 45:14
  To 1, I think that'd be 1. You you kind of circle a little
• 45:17
  bit. Plus 240 not quite there.
• 45:20
  Raiders 19 to one are. They that big of a price.
• 45:24
  How about the NFC West? Maybe probably the best division
• 45:27
  in football a year ago, even with the crappy Arizona
• 45:29
  Cardinals that are 30 to one this year.
• 45:31
  Three teams. Seahawks won 14 Rams.
• 45:34
  Niners both won a dozen. Think about that favorite It's
• 45:40
  the Rams. It is plus 135.
• 45:43
  Second choice is the Seahawks. Plus 150.
• 45:48
  OK, So what are you giving me on the Niners 3 to 1?
• 45:52
  That's juicy. That is juicy.
• 45:54
  That's juicy. I like Mike Evans.
• 45:55
  I think you said it. You know he's going to miss a
• 45:56
  couple of games in the middle of the season.
• 45:58
  You just, you bake that in, right?
• 46:00
  That's a part of it. That's a part of it.
• 46:02
  Did I you go anywhere? I mean, that relationship is
• 46:05
  what? Irreconcilable differences?
• 46:08
  Not with divorce. My divorce decree says they had
• 46:11
  not. No, no, no, I'm not going to
• 46:13
  divorce now. That was a long time ago.
• 46:15
  That's why I forgot. Niners are going to be good as
• 46:20
  you can be good. Hour 2 is coming up.
• 46:22
  Hawks up 13, Bucktois 22 left in the basketball.
• 46:25
  Rapid reaction to Iowa, Maryland.
• 46:27
  We'll do that, Miller and Condon, glad you're with us as
• 46:30
  we talk sports with you for another hour on the Iowa Sports
• 46:33
  Radio Network.
