- 0:30Speaker 2: coming up the He did write about the point shaving.
- 0:35Speaker 2: I'm going to touch on that because it is Listen.
- 0:38Speaker 2: You know my policy on the NBA right is refused
- 0:42Speaker 2: to talk unless there's something significant. Did you see Kate

- 1:02Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I was of.
- 1:05Speaker 1: He took forty five.
- 1:07Speaker 3: That's bad.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Because I can, and we're just sports radio. Nobody takes
- 1:14Speaker 2: it serious. We're just sitting here shooting the you know
- 1:17Speaker 2: what here, help me out here with the NBA, did
- 1:21Speaker 2: they not just have a couple of guys, a sitting coach,
- 1:26Speaker 2: a player, and then another assistant coach get indicted for
- 1:31Speaker 2: gambling issues. Did that help me out?
- 1:35Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 1:35Speaker 3: No, okay, I read the news and you can get.
- 1:39Speaker 1: From that that did. Okay.
- 1:40Speaker 2: So a sitting coach, yes, a player and assistant coach
- 1:43Speaker 2: all are in trouble for that.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Okay, So that's.
- 1:46Speaker 3: Confirmed, confirmed, in trouble.
- 1:50Speaker 1: I need your help here, okay.
- 1:52Speaker 2: With baseball, yes, with the baseball side of it, with
- 1:55Speaker 2: classe and who is the other guy? Okay, those two guys,
- 2:00Speaker 2: what were there and what did they get accused of doing?
- 2:03Speaker 2: Besides I mean what what what exactly they happened?
- 2:05Speaker 1: They were together, by the way, they were sports right,
- 2:09Speaker 1: I believe in you.
- 2:10Speaker 5: Okay, they were allegedly paid to have their first pitch
- 2:14Speaker 5: of it at bat ball.
- 2:15Speaker 2: So just like a little it's like a little player
- 2:18Speaker 2: prop Yeah, like a little player prop right. Okay, that's
- 2:21Speaker 2: what they got busted for. Yes, and they're in big trouble,
- 2:24Speaker 2: like it just got took to the next level the
- 2:27Speaker 2: other way. Yes, big trouble. So that's what happened with
- 2:30Speaker 2: those two guys. So let me bring it back to
- 2:33Speaker 2: your league.
- 2:35Speaker 6: Mind.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Well, you watch it. I do because of I get it.
- 2:39Speaker 7: I do.
- 2:40Speaker 3: I'm married into the NBA.
- 2:43Speaker 1: So player props.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Does it not smell fishy a guy taking forty five
- 2:50Speaker 2: shots because.
- 2:52Speaker 6: That that is left over microwaved and re microwave.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Okay, that that is.
- 2:58Speaker 2: That's how that right, that's as fishy as it gets
- 3:03Speaker 2: forty five.
- 3:04Speaker 1: You play in a league.
- 3:05Speaker 2: I'm not saying he did something weird, No, but what's
- 3:08Speaker 2: the player prop it? Probably if it's made field goals,
- 3:11Speaker 2: over on shot attempts well or over on over on
- 3:14Speaker 2: shot attemps. Well, I mean that would have been he
- 3:16Speaker 2: probably blew by that in the first half, but made
- 3:19Speaker 2: field goals.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Yeah, right.
- 3:21Speaker 6: Also, isn't the team involved at that point? Why are
- 3:24Speaker 6: you still delivering? Why are you still putting the ball
- 3:27Speaker 6: in that person?
- 3:28Speaker 1: What's I don't know, good question. No, I'll tell you
- 3:33Speaker 1: right now.
- 3:34Speaker 5: That's like really won by two internet so he's their
- 3:39Speaker 5: best player too.
- 3:40Speaker 1: It's like, okay, you keep feeding the guy.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Sure, No, I'm sure, it's all on the up and up. Yeah, Chauncey,
- 3:46Speaker 2: But like that just screams weird to me, Like it
- 3:50Speaker 2: just it doesn't pass the sniff test. It just doesn't.
- 3:54Speaker 2: You took forty five field goal attempts? Did you bet
- 3:57Speaker 2: on yourself to somebody say, hey, listen, I got ex
- 4:00Speaker 2: and you're making more than twelve field goals?
- 4:03Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I can do that. That's easy.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Well you're gonna have to take forty five shots to
- 4:07Speaker 2: get there, Like, I don't know. And I bring it
- 4:12Speaker 2: back because yeah, because Joe wrote about the gambling and
- 4:16Speaker 2: let me be the last the last ye wait, yeah,
- 4:19Speaker 2: the last line he says.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Uh.
- 4:22Speaker 2: It addresses the specifics of the alleged wrongdoing by colass
- 4:25Speaker 2: A and Ortiz, but it fails to do anything about
- 4:26Speaker 2: the larger issues of micro betting.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Micro betting.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Now we have a new thing.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Player props. Yes, player props, which which, by.
- 4:37Speaker 6: The way, I know a guy taking a first ball.
- 4:40Speaker 2: I mean, I'm I'm delving into MG in the midday territory.
- 4:44Speaker 2: He's a he's a king of player props, Like that's
- 4:46Speaker 2: what he loves more than anything. So that's a conversation
- 4:50Speaker 2: I'm going to ask him about tomorrow. But like, yeah,
- 4:54Speaker 2: like those are the things that are the easiest thing,
- 4:57Speaker 2: Like if you're gonna you know, Pete Rose bet on
- 5:00Speaker 2: baseball and it was wrong, I I by no means
- 5:02Speaker 2: it might. But he's his.
- 5:04Speaker 3: Team to win, to win every single time.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Hard to control. Like, because you're managing, you'd want your
- 5:10Speaker 2: team to win every game. Throwing a ball on a
- 5:15Speaker 2: first pitch, taking x number of field goals or making
- 5:19Speaker 2: X number of field goals on x number of all
- 5:21Speaker 2: those things a lot easier to do. Sports has a problem.
- 5:25Speaker 2: It just does. And you know, like I people here
- 5:30Speaker 2: complain a lot Mark does and others about the fact
- 5:35Speaker 2: that you can't wager unless you're at a tribal casino.
- 5:40Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, I think it's the best
- 5:41Speaker 2: thing in the world. Maybe just I'm maybe I just
- 5:45Speaker 2: have no self control because I'm sitting there last night
- 5:47Speaker 2: watching the worst Monday night football game ever ever. Keith
- 5:53Speaker 2: and I were watching this thing, going this is just
- 5:55Speaker 2: last six is pretty bad too. The Bronco I had
- 5:58Speaker 2: hockey team, so I watched, but this, well, these are
- 6:01Speaker 2: two good teams. Yeah, yeah, allegedly here's I if I
- 6:06Speaker 2: had my so callal me casino app in my hand,
- 6:09Speaker 2: which I did, but I had it's geo fenced. The
- 6:12Speaker 2: only thing that would have made that thing better is
- 6:14Speaker 2: just chasing all kinds of stuff, right, yes, And so
- 6:17Speaker 2: I'll be at first swimmit. I don't have the self control.
- 6:19Speaker 2: So maybe it's a good thing that.
- 6:20Speaker 3: You have to physically go to call me right yeah.
- 6:23Speaker 1: And like so in games a lot harder to do. Right.
- 6:26Speaker 1: That's we're doing March Madness.
- 6:27Speaker 2: And then my buddy Shrek takes me down a rabbit
- 6:29Speaker 2: hole and we end up betting on Texas A and
- 6:31Speaker 2: m Christy versus East Illinois Wesleyan in a sixteen versus
- 6:36Speaker 2: sixteen matchup that in itself says I have a problem.
- 6:38Speaker 1: I get it, but.
- 6:40Speaker 3: But it controls you.
- 6:41Speaker 2: But it all but in all, seriously, I'm gona, I'm
- 6:44Speaker 2: gona ask you about this, among other things. So I think,
- 6:46Speaker 2: really he brought some really good points, Like it's a
- 6:49Speaker 2: little scary these little this little player props. Now, I
- 6:52Speaker 2: don't know about other casinos. I know, so qual Me
- 6:54Speaker 2: does a really good job. They limit the parlays in
- 6:57Speaker 2: terms of what you can wrap into a par single
- 7:01Speaker 2: games aren't usually.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Allowed at the window.
- 7:03Speaker 1: But they won't.
- 7:04Speaker 2: But they won't let you do like a single game.
- 7:06Speaker 2: It's like one thing per game, which is probably a
- 7:08Speaker 2: good idea. Yes, like it's probably a good idea. But
- 7:12Speaker 2: baseball is trying to limit it now to two hundred
- 7:14Speaker 2: dollars for these bets. Right, come on, that's not the problem.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Here's the other thing. The problem is not necessarily fan
- 7:23Speaker 2: duel or draft Kings or still call me casino. It's
- 7:26Speaker 2: the other stuff. It's the underground stuff. And if you
- 7:28Speaker 2: don't think that, listen, man, I could make a bet
- 7:32Speaker 2: right now if I wanted to. I've got a guy.
- 7:35Speaker 2: I don't use him, but I got a guy. Who
- 7:37Speaker 2: has a guy. Everyone has a guy. Everyone has a guy,
- 7:40Speaker 2: got a guy. It's not the limiting it's not the
- 7:43Speaker 2: ones that are sanctioned that. Those aren't the problems. That's
- 7:46Speaker 2: what you can track, right, You can track that unless
- 7:49Speaker 2: you're Chauncey Billups and you get so deep involved into it,
- 7:51Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, then you who tracks the
- 7:54Speaker 2: federal government?
- 7:55Speaker 3: Yeah, let's.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Just go to snow exactly. It was an interesting thing today.
- 8:01Speaker 2: It was interesting thing when he wrote, I'm gonn talk
- 8:02Speaker 2: to him about that? Among other things, his MVP. You're
- 8:05Speaker 2: not gonna like I'll just I'll just I'll just tell
- 8:07Speaker 2: you right now how to spoil it. Well, maybe you're
- 8:09Speaker 2: not a big fan of of You might not be
- 8:12Speaker 2: a fan of cal Rawley.

- 11:44Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna get to Awards.
- 11:46Speaker 2: I'm gonna get to off season and even kind of
- 11:48Speaker 2: a wrap up of the season as a whole, and
- 11:50Speaker 2: what happened in the World Series which was epic, and
- 11:52Speaker 2: all those things. In a second, I do want to
- 11:54Speaker 2: start with this Joe. I started my show out today
- 11:57Speaker 2: and then I made a note I'm going to talk
- 11:59Speaker 2: about this because I didn't think it passed the sniff test.
- 12:02Speaker 2: And then I look at Joshian dot com, and you
- 12:03Speaker 2: wrote about a different sport, but a thing that was
- 12:06Speaker 2: obviously on everyone's mind right now. And that's the class
- 12:08Speaker 2: A and Ortiz thing with the betting scandal in Major
- 12:10Speaker 2: League Baseball. Last night, Kate Cunningham took forty five field
- 12:15Speaker 2: goal attempts for an NBA team, Like forty five miss
- 12:18Speaker 2: thirty one shots. Okay, not like the NBA has any issue,
- 12:22Speaker 2: Oh wait, they do. Like player prop bets are the
- 12:26Speaker 2: easiest ones out there. Throwing a ball in a baseball
- 12:29Speaker 2: game might be the easiest player prop bet as opposed
- 12:32Speaker 2: to how many shots are you going to take in
- 12:33Speaker 2: a game? But nevertheless it comes to play. You wrote
- 12:37Speaker 2: about it, and I think I mentioned this with Anders
- 12:39Speaker 2: and Jess in the first segment. Micro betting define micro
- 12:43Speaker 2: betting for me, anything.
- 12:46Speaker 9: That isn't the result of the team's performance in the game,
- 12:49Speaker 9: which would be a money line, spread, bets, totals, anything.
- 12:54Speaker 9: It's just focused on what a player is going to
- 12:56Speaker 9: do under six and a half strikeouts over forty seven
- 12:59Speaker 9: and a half shots. I had that last side, and
- 13:01Speaker 9: what a bad beat on cakes getting.
- 13:02Speaker 8: It out problem.
- 13:07Speaker 9: And that's where we're getting into the log from a
- 13:09Speaker 9: lot of our mechanisms for finding bad actors are predicated
- 13:14Speaker 9: on the larger markets, and it's just very, very hard
- 13:17Speaker 9: to regulate and monitor all of these smaller markets, even
- 13:20Speaker 9: things as small as what will the next pitch be
- 13:22Speaker 9: a ball or strike? Will it be abobber below ninety
- 13:25Speaker 9: four and a half miles an hour, which is what
- 13:27Speaker 9: Costs and Artis were trying to exploit when they got caught.
- 13:31Speaker 9: It's also the area where players are taking a lot
- 13:34Speaker 9: of abuse.
- 13:34Speaker 8: Now there used to be you're struck out with.
- 13:36Speaker 9: The bases loaded, and people were set because you blew
- 13:39Speaker 9: it for your team. Well, now people are accepted because
- 13:41Speaker 9: you didn't hit the total base prop and you actually
- 13:43Speaker 9: cost that money. So we see an upstick and player abuse,
- 13:46Speaker 9: and players have talked extensively about this. I want to
- 13:48Speaker 9: say the athletic has been all over the story talking
- 13:51Speaker 9: to players about the way they're getting abused, not just
- 13:53Speaker 9: on a you stink in more of a you cost
- 13:56Speaker 9: me money angle. So there are a lot of reasons,
- 14:00Speaker 9: and I'm pro sports gambling, but even I'm coming around
- 14:02Speaker 9: with the idea that because of the risk involved for
- 14:05Speaker 9: its lisploitation, because of the ways players are being treated.
- 14:08Speaker 9: Maybe this is something we need to look at and say, hey,
- 14:10Speaker 9: this maybe isn't the best thing for not just for
- 14:13Speaker 9: the sport, for the players, but also for the fans
- 14:15Speaker 9: and the bench.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm with you, I'm you know. Listen.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Our show is sponsored by snocalomby Casino Now in Washington.
- 14:21Speaker 2: We have all of our sports wagering is done tribal
- 14:24Speaker 2: casinos on premises. It's geo fence. But I'm you know
- 14:27Speaker 2: there Snow Colombie is a great partner for us. We
- 14:29Speaker 2: love them and I partake in it up there. I
- 14:31Speaker 2: can't do NHL, I'm not allowed to because I work
- 14:33Speaker 2: for the Kraken, but I can do other things up
- 14:36Speaker 2: there and so, which is fine, and I think it's great.
- 14:38Speaker 2: I think player props are the ones that I think
- 14:40Speaker 2: are interesting. Because Graham Gino just talked about this. I
- 14:42Speaker 2: think he's with the Giants now, right, the kicker, longtime
- 14:45Speaker 2: kicker in the NFL, And he was talking about the
- 14:47Speaker 2: other day it used to be NFL players would get
- 14:49Speaker 2: grief because they cost somebody a fantasy football game, right
- 14:52Speaker 2: like oh man, Well, now, as he said, hey, I've
- 14:54Speaker 2: made plenty of kicks I've missed plenty of kicks, and
- 14:57Speaker 2: now I've got people saying, hey, you know you missed
- 14:59Speaker 2: that fifth four yard or I lost you know that
- 15:01Speaker 2: cost me points. I lost my game by you know,
- 15:03Speaker 2: a point, and you know that's fine. Now it costs
- 15:05Speaker 2: people cash money. Are player prop bets the issue? Do
- 15:09Speaker 2: you think, Joe, and We'll be just look at baseball.
- 15:11Speaker 2: That's your kind of expertise, because it feels like player
- 15:13Speaker 2: prop bets in baseball. God, I forgot about the miles
- 15:16Speaker 2: per hour part of it, Like for a pitcher. It
- 15:18Speaker 2: just feels like it's way, way too easy to influence
- 15:22Speaker 2: it is.
- 15:22Speaker 9: And remember this is all stuff that's we couldn't even
- 15:25Speaker 9: imagine it's fifteen years ago, right because we have this
- 15:28Speaker 9: real time data. Now you know, we're not just we're
- 15:30Speaker 9: measuring the pitch, but we can put that information out
- 15:32Speaker 9: there so that whatever your app of choice. And I'm
- 15:35Speaker 9: reluctant to name any one here because I don't want
- 15:37Speaker 9: to make it sound like it's one of one. The
- 15:39Speaker 9: problem is specific to an app, it's all of them.
- 15:42Speaker 8: They all have had these bets. But you now have
- 15:45Speaker 8: these real.
- 15:46Speaker 9: Time data feeds where an app can say, tell me
- 15:48Speaker 9: the speed of the next pitch over under that one
- 15:51Speaker 9: side of it, and immediately you'll have that response. And
- 15:53Speaker 9: it almost turns sports betting, which used to be, Hey,
- 15:55Speaker 9: I'm gonna put twenty five bucks on the Cowboys and
- 15:57Speaker 9: I'm gonna get three hours of entertainment. Now it's almost
- 16:00Speaker 9: like a slot machine betting the next pitch. Oh, I'm
- 16:02Speaker 9: betting the next pitch. And that's where the addiction, addictive
- 16:04Speaker 9: part of it comes in. So a lot of this
- 16:06Speaker 9: is a new problem. Whereas think about sports candles in
- 16:10Speaker 9: the past, think about a college basketball had a bunch
- 16:12Speaker 9: of them, Arab State, Northwestern, and NOIU in the fifties.
- 16:17Speaker 9: It was quite spread related and we all kind of
- 16:19Speaker 9: understood that this is a new way of manipulating the market.
- 16:22Speaker 9: And you know, MLB reacted personally, I did not know
- 16:26Speaker 9: that you could get four thousand dollars down on the
- 16:29Speaker 9: next pitch. I'm not a big time better, I mean
- 16:32Speaker 9: to the except that I've bet.
- 16:33Speaker 8: It's never been in numbers like that.
- 16:34Speaker 9: It didn't even occur to me because you get four
- 16:36Speaker 9: thousand dollars down on the next pitch. So they've what
- 16:39Speaker 9: they did in reaction on Monday is they agreed with
- 16:41Speaker 9: the books that they're only going to cap that at
- 16:43Speaker 9: two hundred bucks a pop and you can't parlay them.
- 16:45Speaker 9: So this at least reduces some of the incentive to
- 16:48Speaker 9: exploit these markets, right because you can only get two
- 16:51Speaker 9: hundred dollars down, isn't really worth the risk of breaking it.
- 16:54Speaker 9: But you still have I mean, it's still possible. It
- 16:56Speaker 9: doesn't mean it can't be done. It doesn't mean that
- 16:58Speaker 9: somebody's not gonna get mad about it, and it doesn't
- 17:00Speaker 9: mean that the all of the larger problems with prop betting,
- 17:03Speaker 9: with individual prop betting, micro betting.
- 17:06Speaker 8: Still don't exist.
- 17:07Speaker 9: This is something MLB does a lot where they solve
- 17:10Speaker 9: the last problem and they don't figure out, Okay, how
- 17:12Speaker 9: are we going to take a look at the bigger problem,
- 17:14Speaker 9: which is micro betting, which is exposing our players to
- 17:17Speaker 9: all of this anger, which is kind of gamifying the
- 17:20Speaker 9: sport in a way that look to me, there's a
- 17:23Speaker 9: really big difference between betting the narriners to win and
- 17:26Speaker 9: betting pulliard ery guests to have a game over and
- 17:29Speaker 9: one and a half toll of basis.
- 17:30Speaker 8: And I say that as a guy who runs the gaming.
- 17:32Speaker 9: News, that that gives out those picks, and I'm wondering,
- 17:35Speaker 9: now we should just not have those at all. We
- 17:38Speaker 9: should just keep betting to what does the team do, futures,
- 17:42Speaker 9: bets on who's going to win the World Series of
- 17:44Speaker 9: the super Bowl, and stop betting on individual players for
- 17:47Speaker 9: a lot of different reasons.
- 17:49Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an ongoing conversation, and I still think in
- 17:53Speaker 2: the other part of it, Anders and I brought this
- 17:54Speaker 2: up because mainstream gambling is okay now and is accepted
- 17:58Speaker 2: in most states, either tribal or otherwise. It allows, I
- 18:03Speaker 2: think the underground stuff to flourish even more too, because
- 18:06Speaker 2: that's where the problem is, right, I mean, that's where
- 18:07Speaker 2: the NBA guys got in trouble and stuff like that.
- 18:10Speaker 2: But you know, we'll see it's a conversation. I'm guessing
- 18:13Speaker 2: you and I might have this conversation again the next
- 18:15Speaker 2: few months as we see things take place. Let's go
- 18:16Speaker 2: on the field first and foremost. Wrap it up, Dodgers win,
- 18:21Speaker 2: epic series epic I would just say, great playoffs, Jill,
- 18:24Speaker 2: am I wrong? Just maybe I'm skewed because the Mariners
- 18:26Speaker 2: were involved, But I just felt like it was a
- 18:28Speaker 2: really you know, not every series was great, but it
- 18:31Speaker 2: just felt very entertaining this year the baseball playoffs.
- 18:34Speaker 9: I'm gonna tell you a story. One of my good
- 18:36Speaker 9: friends is out in La a guy with the USC
- 18:39Speaker 9: with still one of my best friends. He was down
- 18:41Speaker 9: in San Diego with his eighty I'm gonna get trouble
- 18:44Speaker 9: if I get this wrong. I'm gonna say eighty one
- 18:45Speaker 9: year old mother in law. And she was absolutely completely
- 18:51Speaker 9: into the World Series. Not really a sports state at all,
- 18:53Speaker 9: certainly our baseball fan. And she, this woman, lovely woman,
- 18:57Speaker 9: was passionate about rooting for the dogs in this World Series.
- 19:01Speaker 9: And I think that illustrates what this series did. It
- 19:03Speaker 9: broke contained, It got out into the mainstream sports world
- 19:07Speaker 9: in a way that baseball hasn't done, probably since twenty
- 19:10Speaker 9: sixteen with the Cub story. This series had these playoffs
- 19:14Speaker 9: to make you to reach to your point, had everything,
- 19:16Speaker 9: had superstars showing out blood etou, the shohaio honey Yo,
- 19:21Speaker 9: your shinobu, gem mooto. That had great stories like Ernie
- 19:24Speaker 9: Clement going crazy and Will Climb throwing four innings of
- 19:27Speaker 9: shutout baseball in an eighteen inning game.
- 19:29Speaker 8: It had great games.
- 19:30Speaker 9: The Mariners and Tigers played two of them. You had
- 19:32Speaker 9: the Dodgers and Blue Jays playing a couple of them.
- 19:35Speaker 9: You had weird things like the or Rian Kirkering throwing
- 19:39Speaker 9: away the series against the Dodgers with a throwing error
- 19:41Speaker 9: in the tenth inning of that game. Everything it was
- 19:44Speaker 9: incredible play too. They were strategical. Strategical, Yeah, let's make
- 19:48Speaker 9: up more. It's just strategic decisions like all of the
- 19:54Speaker 9: all of the all of the intentional walks and all
- 19:56Speaker 9: the bunts that John Schneider was calling for, the fishing
- 19:58Speaker 9: decisions that Dave were vert constmated it. It had everything,
- 20:03Speaker 9: and I just it was really great to see people
- 20:05Speaker 9: who I would normally not expect to care about baseball
- 20:07Speaker 9: get excited about baseball, beat out left individual fans. It
- 20:11Speaker 9: was I don't want I don't like ranking these things.
- 20:13Speaker 9: It's all angels on the head of the pin for me.
- 20:15Speaker 9: But it was a great postseason capped by a very
- 20:18Speaker 9: entertaining World Series that hopefully we can capture this momentum
- 20:22Speaker 9: going into twenty twe sers.
- 20:23Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe, I would say, it's funny my wife, who's
- 20:27Speaker 2: you know, as casual a sports fan, and I use
- 20:29Speaker 2: that term even loosely as it gets uh, you know,
- 20:33Speaker 2: there was carry over for her because she and others
- 20:36Speaker 2: in our family when I'm not even home watching and
- 20:38Speaker 2: probably was my son watching, they watched the World Series
- 20:41Speaker 2: and she, you know, she's asking, God, do you see
- 20:43Speaker 2: the end of the you know, the hunt. I was
- 20:45Speaker 2: doing a hockey game, But thanks for watching the hockey
- 20:47Speaker 2: game that I was broadcasting. I appreciate that a couple
- 20:49Speaker 2: of No. I did not watch the seventh the game seven,
- 20:52Speaker 2: but you know, I think we did see a carrier.
- 20:54Speaker 2: I go back in time. I think the Red Sox
- 20:57Speaker 2: breaking their curse. What nearly two thousands right for you? Yeah,
- 21:01Speaker 2: I think the Red Sox doing that. The Cubby's doing
- 21:03Speaker 2: the same thing, you know. And then obviously this year
- 21:07Speaker 2: there's certain times that it just it's what And we
- 21:10Speaker 2: couldn't even write the script. You couldn't even write down
- 21:12Speaker 2: exactly what the I don't think you could write down
- 21:14Speaker 2: what the formula was, you know, because it was Toronto.
- 21:16Speaker 2: It wasn't even a US based team. Maybe there was
- 21:18Speaker 2: an anti Canada thing, I don't know, fifty first State,
- 21:20Speaker 2: whatever it would have been. But it was just a
- 21:22Speaker 2: compelling year and it's good for baseball. Let's hope they
- 21:25Speaker 2: can carry it through. Did the best team win?
- 21:28Speaker 8: Joe?
- 21:31Speaker 9: This was a year where it was hard to defind
- 21:33Speaker 9: the best team. You had a whole bunch of teams
- 21:35Speaker 9: between ninety three and who the Brewers have ninety seven wins.
- 21:39Speaker 9: So I'm okay saying yes, especially since the Dodgers. The
- 21:41Speaker 9: dog won ninety three games while playing the whole season
- 21:44Speaker 9: in second year, putting through you know, a lot of
- 21:46Speaker 9: pictures on the io, letting them rest up, taking their time,
- 21:49Speaker 9: getting guys back from injuries. So I think if you said,
- 21:53Speaker 9: I think if he said at the start of the year,
- 21:54Speaker 9: the team with the most wins wins the championship, that
- 21:57Speaker 9: would have been the Dodgers. The Dodgers would have gone
- 21:59Speaker 9: through their season differently and probably had more success. And
- 22:02Speaker 9: I have a problem saying that the best team in
- 22:04Speaker 9: the postseason certainly was the champion. But I you know,
- 22:08Speaker 9: there were just five or six teams right at the
- 22:10Speaker 9: top of the league this year.
- 22:11Speaker 8: It's really a change.
- 22:12Speaker 9: I mean, we go back to the early part of
- 22:14Speaker 9: this decade, at the end of the twenty tens, and
- 22:16Speaker 9: there was like an upper class teams winning one hundred
- 22:18Speaker 9: and three hundred and five hundred and ten wins every year,
- 22:20Speaker 9: and we don't have that.
- 22:21Speaker 6: Now.
- 22:21Speaker 9: We have this very compressed top of the league. The
- 22:25Speaker 9: reasons for which we get into it at a time,
- 22:27Speaker 9: but it made it hard to say who was the best.
- 22:29Speaker 8: Team in the league this year.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Joshi and Joy's probab to by Northwest Handling Systems, Joshian
- 22:33Speaker 2: dot Com, the Joshian Newsletter. Our baseball team goes into
- 22:37Speaker 2: the off season with three major decisions to make. Everyone else's,
- 22:42Speaker 2: for the most part, under contract. Polanco opts out, So
- 22:46Speaker 2: he's a decision they have to make in terms of
- 22:48Speaker 2: what the market and is a mutual decision. I should
- 22:50Speaker 2: mention this, These are all mutual decisions. You know, what's
- 22:54Speaker 2: what's Polanco going to do? What will Seattle offer him?
- 22:56Speaker 2: What will the market tell us about Polanco? What will
- 22:59Speaker 2: the market say? And what will the Mariners think about
- 23:01Speaker 2: Gino Suarez? Well, you know, good vibes only, and obviously
- 23:04Speaker 2: the big one is Josh Naylor. Let's go kind of
- 23:07Speaker 2: in order. Let's start with Josh Naylor. What what priority
- 23:10Speaker 2: should the Marriers place on him? And what do you
- 23:12Speaker 2: think the market's going to be for what Josh Naylor
- 23:14Speaker 2: is able to do on the field?
- 23:16Speaker 8: Well, all part it.
- 23:17Speaker 9: Should be to sad In Kyle Tucker. But if you're
- 23:19Speaker 9: not going to do that, I think Nayler is a reasonable,
- 23:22Speaker 9: less expensive option younger. Of the of the players are
- 23:27Speaker 9: talking about, he's the youngest. He plays a position where
- 23:30Speaker 9: the Manors really don't have a great secondary option. It
- 23:33Speaker 9: was one of the reasons they trained for him is
- 23:34Speaker 9: they couldn't really figure out for a space this year.
- 23:36Speaker 9: I like his baguin balance with the lineup. I like
- 23:38Speaker 9: the fact that he's more but you know, two to
- 23:40Speaker 9: eighty and doubles hitter for a team that doesn't really
- 23:43Speaker 9: have that and has a lot of strikeout guys and
- 23:45Speaker 9: a lot has a lot of guys hit the power.
- 23:47Speaker 9: But he fits to me within the context of that
- 23:49Speaker 9: line up, which we saw in the last few months
- 23:51Speaker 9: of months of the season in the playoffs.
- 23:53Speaker 8: I don't think he's.
- 23:53Speaker 9: Gonna steal fifty five paces, but I do think that
- 23:57Speaker 9: the rest of his game fits really well. I don't
- 24:00Speaker 9: I'm not saying don't re sign Hno Suarez, but I
- 24:04Speaker 9: would let somebody else out bid me if it came
- 24:06Speaker 9: to it. I would bring him back for a lot
- 24:07Speaker 9: of money.
- 24:07Speaker 8: The years are the bigger things.
- 24:09Speaker 9: I mean, we talked about him a lot during the summer,
- 24:11Speaker 9: and I think we saw the downside risk of the
- 24:13Speaker 9: two months he spent in Seattle, right granted, never going
- 24:16Speaker 9: to take away the game six home run, and that's
- 24:19Speaker 9: something that's going to live forever. But that's not what
- 24:21Speaker 9: you're buying. You're not buying the memory of that. You're
- 24:23Speaker 9: buying guys helping. Was he thirty five next year? Somebody
- 24:28Speaker 9: who in declined the defense is going. I think you
- 24:31Speaker 9: can fake third base with like a Crawford Williamson platoon
- 24:36Speaker 9: in a way that they don't really have a room
- 24:38Speaker 9: to fake first base. So I would prioritize Nailor over
- 24:42Speaker 9: over Suarez.
- 24:44Speaker 7: And if Polanco, you know.
- 24:46Speaker 9: Again, Cole Young, I think has to play. I think
- 24:49Speaker 9: by the middle of next year you're talking about bringing
- 24:50Speaker 9: Emerson up to your.
- 24:51Speaker 8: Middland field set.
- 24:52Speaker 9: If I could bring Polanco back as a DH for
- 24:56Speaker 9: a DH price, I would certainly give a shot at that.
- 24:59Speaker 9: He was very productive year in a very strange way.
- 25:01Speaker 9: He was stand usual for a month, and then he
- 25:04Speaker 9: was stand hacked for three months, and then he was
- 25:06Speaker 9: stand usual again, and of course again another guy who
- 25:08Speaker 9: had great productive at bats in the postseason, He's going
- 25:11Speaker 9: to go down and now in his history, but again,
- 25:13Speaker 9: you know, one year with an option, two years at
- 25:16Speaker 9: a reasonable price. I'm not giving Suarez or Polanco big
- 25:20Speaker 9: deal just because we know the aging curve now cuts
- 25:23Speaker 9: off very quickly these guys. You know, these guys really
- 25:27Speaker 9: do age fast, and they pushed out of the league
- 25:29Speaker 9: at thirty one, thirty two, thirty three. He has been
- 25:32Speaker 9: an exception, but I don't think I want to bet
- 25:33Speaker 9: on that for much longer.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Planco's thirty two, Gino's gonna turn thirty five.
- 25:38Speaker 2: The what do you think the market will be for
- 25:41Speaker 2: Josh Naylor?
- 25:42Speaker 8: Like?
- 25:42Speaker 1: How much competition will Seattle have?
- 25:44Speaker 8: Oh?
- 25:45Speaker 9: I think there's going to be fair about I mean,
- 25:47Speaker 9: he's the type of hinter teams are looking for now
- 25:49Speaker 9: because of the greater bats of ball. I think they're
- 25:52Speaker 9: willing to sacrifice some upper end home run power for
- 25:55Speaker 9: that too.
- 25:55Speaker 8: Eighty two ninety.
- 25:56Speaker 9: Average, which it doesn't sound like much, but remember the
- 25:59Speaker 9: league gets two forty. That's like saying a guy hit
- 26:01Speaker 9: three ten twenty years ago. That's the kind of hitter
- 26:03Speaker 9: Naylor is. And again the doubles he's been pretty durable.
- 26:08Speaker 9: You know, he's not a great first station, but he's
- 26:09Speaker 9: a decent one. He hasn't hurt you over there, So
- 26:11Speaker 9: I think we bring a lot to the table. And
- 26:13Speaker 9: again twenty eight I believe that's that's important. You want
- 26:17Speaker 9: to sign younger free ation, especially if it's probably going
- 26:19Speaker 9: to take I think it's gonna take four years. Even
- 26:23Speaker 9: remember he doesn't have the draft pick attach to him.
- 26:25Speaker 9: This is what we saw last year with Alex Preglan,
- 26:27Speaker 9: who saw with Nikolonso Pinalnza not having that draft pick
- 26:32Speaker 9: compensation attached makes a very big difference in how many
- 26:35Speaker 9: teams are going to be in your market. So I
- 26:38Speaker 9: think Nailer is going to do very well. My estimate
- 26:40Speaker 9: for him is like four and one oh eight to
- 26:43Speaker 9: twenty seven million a year, and you know, take that
- 26:46Speaker 9: in either direction, but that's I think going to be
- 26:48Speaker 9: where I think he lands. But I do think if
- 26:51Speaker 9: I can keep that to a four year deal so
- 26:53Speaker 9: that I'm not I don't have to lock him up
- 26:55Speaker 9: into his mid thirties. I think that's a good signing
- 26:58Speaker 9: for the Mariners because of what they're doing. And let's
- 27:00Speaker 9: keep in mind the Mariners have to I don't have
- 27:02Speaker 9: to win now or anything like that, but you're bringing
- 27:04Speaker 9: back a full starting rotation. There aren't three teams in
- 27:07Speaker 9: baseball who aren't in the market for a starting pitcher
- 27:10Speaker 9: this year, and the Mariners are one of them. So
- 27:12Speaker 9: you can focus entirely of spending your money on the
- 27:15Speaker 9: bats that you need to support that staff.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the thing with him is I
- 27:20Speaker 2: think that the re signing of Naylor is probably the
- 27:24Speaker 2: biggest offseason priority and move that this team's had in
- 27:28Speaker 2: a long time, because how you keep everything going in
- 27:32Speaker 2: that same direction and all the Gino's term good vibes
- 27:36Speaker 2: from what you just did last year. If you lose
- 27:39Speaker 2: really a guy that you don't get there without him,
- 27:42Speaker 2: right like, and that's and and if you don't, the
- 27:44Speaker 2: perception is right or wrong because the player asse to
- 27:46Speaker 2: side where he's going to sign, it would be because
- 27:49Speaker 2: of finances. So that's that's a it's for a lot
- 27:51Speaker 2: of reasons. Josh Naylor is one of the most important
- 27:54Speaker 2: things they've had for this team in a long long time.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Joe Shean, before I let you go, you peep can
- 28:01Speaker 2: go to the Joshian newsletters see all the rest of
- 28:03Speaker 2: what he would put down for the awards. We'll find
- 28:05Speaker 2: out in a couple of days who should be the
- 28:07Speaker 2: al MVP.
- 28:10Speaker 9: Oh look, gotta go getting late here we have we
- 28:16Speaker 9: have this fantastic year talk in baseball, and that's how
- 28:19Speaker 9: you're gonna send me into the winter. You're really gonna
- 28:22Speaker 9: make me do this.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Yes, we have that kind of relationship. We're that close.
- 28:27Speaker 1: We could do this.
- 28:27Speaker 9: That's so cool.
- 28:29Speaker 2: Well listen because it could happen and I want to
- 28:31Speaker 2: And when it does happen, you're a guy that could
- 28:33Speaker 2: tell us why it will happen.
- 28:35Speaker 9: I published my ballots earlier this week or last week.
- 28:39Speaker 9: November is a bit of a blurdout, and I did
- 28:41Speaker 9: have Aaron Judge first head of cal rapping, and as
- 28:44Speaker 9: I explained it, it's one hundred points of OBP and
- 28:47Speaker 9: one hundred points of slugging versus catching. Was an eleven
- 28:50Speaker 9: hundred innings and that's really what the conversation came down to,
- 28:53Speaker 9: and I landed on the OBP and slugging part of it.
- 28:56Speaker 9: If you look at the war figures, Judge is either
- 28:58Speaker 9: ahead by a lot or by a little. I give
- 29:00Speaker 9: some extra credit for catching beyond what you might find
- 29:03Speaker 9: in our war calculations because of the value of doing so,
- 29:07Speaker 9: and I just I still couldn't get there with rally
- 29:10Speaker 9: because Judge was just that good. It's the second time
- 29:12Speaker 9: in four years that Judge has been so incursion, that
- 29:15Speaker 9: Judge has been so incredible that it's nudged out in
- 29:18Speaker 9: historic season. Remember he won the twenty twenty two al
- 29:20Speaker 9: MVP over Sho Heotani, who had one of his show
- 29:24Speaker 9: Heo Tani two way seasons. That's how good Judge has
- 29:27Speaker 9: been at his peak, that he's been better than a
- 29:30Speaker 9: two way season by Sho Heo Tani. And now it's
- 29:32Speaker 9: sixty home run season by a catcher. I don't think
- 29:35Speaker 9: there's a wrong answer. If a thousand people call in now,
- 29:39Speaker 9: and of course it'll mostly be about Seahawks, but the
- 29:42Speaker 9: one person that wants talk baseball calls in and they
- 29:44Speaker 9: want to say I'm an idiot for not taking Rally,
- 29:46Speaker 9: I'll wear that.
- 29:47Speaker 8: I don't think it's.
- 29:49Speaker 9: A seventy to thirty call. I'm not even sure it's
- 29:52Speaker 9: a sixty forty call. I landed on the Judge side
- 29:54Speaker 9: of it. I expect the voting to be split and
- 29:57Speaker 9: Judge to win. With let's say he gets seventeen of
- 30:01Speaker 9: the third of the thirty first place votes, so it'll
- 30:03Speaker 9: be pretty close.
- 30:05Speaker 1: I don't think can go wrong. That's the thing.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Like it's one of those years, right, like something. I
- 30:09Speaker 2: have a Heisman vote, Joe, and I'm grinding every weekend
- 30:13Speaker 2: and I'm watching and taping and watching, and I think
- 30:16Speaker 2: the linebacker at Texas Tech is the best player in
- 30:18Speaker 2: the country.
- 30:19Speaker 1: But he's not going to win it. I'm not sure
- 30:21Speaker 1: who is. Like, there's no obvious choice.
- 30:23Speaker 8: Is my? Is my?
- 30:23Speaker 4: You know?
- 30:24Speaker 6: Is my?
- 30:25Speaker 2: What I'm saying here, Sometimes there's no obvious choice. Sometimes
- 30:28Speaker 2: there's two obvious choices. And that might be the case
- 30:31Speaker 2: this year with that Joe she And brought to you

- 32:58Speaker 4: the Seattle Kraken where the inf nets.
- 33:03Speaker 8: Put plans in place right now for Berkeley now that
- 33:06Speaker 8: he's pass the nine game mark and how he fits
- 33:08Speaker 8: into this team long termire for the season doesn't change.

- 33:32Speaker 2: Blaye Lambert talking about Berkeley Cat and he played his
- 33:34Speaker 2: tenth game in the National Hockey League on Sunday in Dallas.
- 33:40Speaker 2: That means that his entry level contract kicks in. The
- 33:43Speaker 2: clock is ticking its three year contract, so he's in
- 33:47Speaker 2: year one of three. Yep, so restricted free agency. All
- 33:50Speaker 2: that stuff comes early, and it's not like they can't
- 33:53Speaker 2: send him back down, but it won't do them a
- 33:55Speaker 2: lot of good. It does them no good at this point.
- 33:57Speaker 2: It's much like what do we call it in baseball
- 34:00Speaker 2: time and that's the the June date or whatever it is, right.
- 34:03Speaker 5: I mean, it just it all depends on how many
- 34:05Speaker 5: games you play. There's a bunch of different stuff and
- 34:08Speaker 5: how much of the year specifically that you you end
- 34:10Speaker 5: up playing right.

- 34:14Speaker 2: He's going to be here, He's probably not going anywhere.

- 34:21Speaker 2: relax a little bit, yes, like and just kind of
- 34:24Speaker 2: play the game and not have to worry about, you know,
- 34:27Speaker 2: making a mistake and getting sent back down to the
- 34:29Speaker 2: Western League in Spokane and all those things. He is
- 34:31Speaker 2: only nineteen years old, and that's pretty awesome.
- 34:34Speaker 5: I mean, and like he's shown everything he can do
- 34:37Speaker 5: in the Western Hockey League, like how many, how many
- 34:39Speaker 5: hundred point plus points he scored last year, Like this
- 34:42Speaker 5: is the place where he's going to develop.

- 41:37Speaker 2: Listen, I'm pumping up this thing. I'm pumping up this
- 41:39Speaker 2: thing called Pro Football Wire.
- 41:41Speaker 8: Like.
- 41:41Speaker 2: I'm sure you're doing something later. I'm sure you got
- 41:44Speaker 2: a YouTube thing on there later at some point. So
- 41:46Speaker 2: and and all that work you did was not for me,
- 41:49Speaker 2: because you just said it. It's the biggest game in
- 41:51Speaker 2: the NFL this week, even though even though it didn't
- 41:54Speaker 2: get it done it anyway, even though it didn't get
- 41:56Speaker 2: flexed to the Sunday night football that might have been
- 41:58Speaker 2: actually that might be a protected game. All joking aside,
- 42:01Speaker 2: that probably was a Fox protected game. I would I
- 42:04Speaker 2: would think with l A, the LA Market and Seattle markets, Yeah,
- 42:06Speaker 2: I would. I would think that's a protect and good
- 42:08Speaker 2: guess let's watch that one twenty. I think there's a
- 42:10Speaker 2: good is it Lions and who is it?
- 42:13Speaker 1: Lions? And somebody the Eagles right for Sday night football? Yeah,
- 42:16Speaker 1: it's a good like, it's a.
- 42:17Speaker 2: Great one tail one Intel eight pm on Sunday is
- 42:21Speaker 2: flipping awesome. Now, I say that we should have had
- 42:23Speaker 2: a great Monday night game last night, and that thing
- 42:25Speaker 2: was the biggest turd I've seen in a long time.
- 42:27Speaker 1: I kind of liked it.
- 42:28Speaker 8: Well, but if you have YouTube TV like me, you
- 42:31Speaker 8: didn't have to watch it. No, that's good.
- 42:33Speaker 1: It's Lion's Eagles, Lions, Lions, Eagles first. Well, that is
- 42:37Speaker 1: a game. It should be a good game.
- 42:38Speaker 2: But the Eagles can't like, Yeah, Lane Johnson's hurt, the
- 42:41Speaker 2: Eagles won't be able to score again. Jalen Hurst, Jalen
- 42:44Speaker 2: Hurts from Jalen Hurts forgets he's got two elite wide
- 42:47Speaker 2: receivers and doesn't want to throw to him. Uh God,
- 42:50Speaker 2: I just I looked at this Pro Football Wire thing
- 42:52Speaker 2: on on the X. First thing that pops up is
- 42:56Speaker 2: is lund your face is stick sticking right out.
- 42:59Speaker 3: Oh John, your famite, look at you.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Trade deadline winners and losers. Jerry's world. Why you trade
- 43:08Speaker 2: Kyleer Dunn in Arizona?
- 43:10Speaker 1: I love it all right, good stuff, Yeah, it's good.
- 43:12Speaker 1: So you saw that game.
- 43:14Speaker 2: So first of all, let me get before I get
- 43:15Speaker 2: to the Rams and the Seahawks, the forty nine ers.
- 43:18Speaker 2: And I'm not saying this as a Seattle guy to
- 43:20Speaker 2: bust your chops and all that, you know, but Niners,
- 43:24Speaker 2: are they kind of done? Or are they just holding
- 43:26Speaker 2: out hopes to sneak in with a wild card?
- 43:29Speaker 8: I think last week was the first week in all
- 43:31Speaker 8: honesty that it showed all the injuries. They just can't hang.
- 43:34Speaker 8: They're not an elite team. They did a nice job.
- 43:37Speaker 8: And Mac jo it's not Mac jones fault. It's just
- 43:39Speaker 8: defensively And you and I talked about this right at
- 43:41Speaker 8: the beginning of the year. I said, Robert Sala had
- 43:43Speaker 8: told me their defensive coordinator, that they were gonna that
- 43:46Speaker 8: six to eight rookies were going to get significant playing time. Well,
- 43:49Speaker 8: then when Bosa goes down and Warner goes down, and
- 43:52Speaker 8: Mickel Williams their first round picking a Georgia goes down.
- 43:54Speaker 8: Those are all front seven guys. That affects the secondary
- 43:58Speaker 8: because they can't get to the quarterback. They're not getting
- 43:59Speaker 8: to the quarter at all, which leads to what Stafford
- 44:01Speaker 8: is doing, which we'll get into in a minute. And
- 44:03Speaker 8: so if you give him all the time in the world,
- 44:04Speaker 8: they're gonna put up forty new points on you. So
- 44:07Speaker 8: that's what's going on. And like I said after the game,
- 44:09Speaker 8: i went down there rather than hear Kyle Shanam, which
- 44:11Speaker 8: I've done a million times, I went to hear what
- 44:13Speaker 8: your good friend, uh Jean McVay had to say. And essentially,
- 44:17Speaker 8: you know, seventy five percent of the press conference was
- 44:19Speaker 8: putting all this love on Matthew Stafford. But even at
- 44:22Speaker 8: the age of thirty seven, it's warranted because he's in
- 44:25Speaker 8: that stage where Brady was in. And I'm not saying
- 44:27Speaker 8: he's Brady, but what I'm saying is he's seen everything
- 44:30Speaker 8: you can throw at him. So if you're gonna throw
- 44:31Speaker 8: a blitz at him, which the nut which as I
- 44:33Speaker 8: sent to you and you know already the Seahawks don't do,
- 44:37Speaker 8: but neither do the Rams, but he's going to decipher you.
- 44:39Speaker 8: So this is gonna be a great chess match because
- 44:42Speaker 8: Mike McDonald has been doing such a good job. Even
- 44:44Speaker 8: though that the Seahawks have the lowest second lowest blitz
- 44:47Speaker 8: right behind Cincinnati in the league. If their back end
- 44:50Speaker 8: can hold up, which they can, and then they can
- 44:53Speaker 8: time out these blitches. And they did a bunch of
- 44:55Speaker 8: overloads last week against the Cardinals. That's gave them a
- 44:57Speaker 8: bunch of trouble and somehow confuse the Rams. Then maybe
- 45:01Speaker 8: they got a shot against Stafford. But what happened against
- 45:04Speaker 8: the forty nine ers was he just sat back there
- 45:06Speaker 8: with no pressure and it was boom bom boom, boom boom,
- 45:08Speaker 8: because the Niners just don't have the guys in the
- 45:11Speaker 8: front seven to put any kind of pressure on Matthew Stafford,
- 45:13Speaker 8: and he just picked his poison.
- 45:15Speaker 1: Basically, I think I still think.
- 45:17Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just the NFC's wild because we were
- 45:19Speaker 2: just talking about this issue with Mike Sandal. I'm sure
- 45:21Speaker 2: you know Sandal from the athletic and based out of here.
- 45:23Speaker 2: He does stuff with us every week, and you know
- 45:25Speaker 2: we're going through Philadelphia, Seattle, Detroit and La Rams. I
- 45:30Speaker 2: think those four teams are true, true contenders in the NFC.
- 45:36Speaker 2: Tampa Bay lots of injuries. Green Bay. There's something not
- 45:41Speaker 2: right there. I don't know what it is. I mean,
- 45:43Speaker 2: it's just there's something not right a part of his
- 45:44Speaker 2: receiving situation. They don't have receivers, and they got bow
- 45:47Speaker 2: Melton playing corner end receiver. He ain't Travis Hunter, but
- 45:50Speaker 2: they had him doing that last night. And then you know, Chicago,
- 45:53Speaker 2: I don't know how you're six and three, Chicago. Your
- 45:55Speaker 2: quarterback couldn't hit the ocean, you know, I mean, couldn't
- 45:58Speaker 2: put water in the ocean.
- 45:59Speaker 1: He's awful, like he's like he is.
- 46:02Speaker 2: Caleb is awful and off script he's fine, like off script,
- 46:07Speaker 2: he's fine, but off script.
- 46:10Speaker 8: You can't make a living that way in the NFL.
- 46:12Speaker 8: At some point you gotta be a drop back down.
- 46:14Speaker 2: At some point you got to actually put your foot
- 46:15Speaker 2: in the ground and stick it to guy like Rome
- 46:17Speaker 2: or whoever it is. And he doesn't do that, but
- 46:19Speaker 2: that's fine. San Francisco I think is going to get in.
- 46:23Speaker 2: I just I I because listen, it's really gonna between
- 46:27Speaker 2: San Francisco, Chicago, and Green Bay for a wildcard spot
- 46:32Speaker 2: for two of the three wildcard spots. I think they'll
- 46:34Speaker 2: you still have enough offens or to get in and
- 46:36Speaker 2: then and then you're gonna be in this situation where
- 46:38Speaker 2: I was gonna be like, I know they're hurt, but
- 46:40Speaker 2: I really don't want to see McCaffrey and Purty and
- 46:43Speaker 2: maybe I Yuke's back and Kittle at that point, Like
- 46:46Speaker 2: that's what's gonna happen, right, Like that's what's gonna happen
- 46:48Speaker 2: with San Francisco. But it's also why this game this
- 46:50Speaker 2: week is so big with Seattle in LA, because you
- 46:55Speaker 2: don't want to be a wildcard team like you may
- 46:57Speaker 2: end up going to Tampa or whatever it might be,
- 46:59Speaker 2: but you don't want to be a wild card team
- 47:01Speaker 2: like that's you want to have home field advantage, even
- 47:03Speaker 2: if it is so far or maybe Luman's coming back
- 47:06Speaker 2: to being what it used to be. But that's why
- 47:08Speaker 2: this and I think it's a bigger game because it's
- 47:10Speaker 2: at home. John, I'd make the arguments a bigger game
- 47:12Speaker 2: for the Rams and it is for Seattle.
- 47:15Speaker 8: Well, think about it. The places that you could possibly
- 47:18Speaker 8: go now this weekend when they go to LA, that's
- 47:20Speaker 8: not an intimidating place to play, and it's the most
- 47:23Speaker 8: annoying you and I have talked about it. I mean,
- 47:26Speaker 8: if people hate you know Levi's I get it. But
- 47:29Speaker 8: so Fi is a million times down the guitar playing
- 47:32Speaker 8: girl and the guy yelling our house. It's honestly, it's
- 47:38Speaker 8: three quarters the other team. So the irony of this
- 47:42Speaker 8: jackass in that in Sofi and a lot of Seahawk
- 47:45Speaker 8: fans go down there, know what I'm talking about, who's well,
- 47:47Speaker 8: and it's like not yours the other teams. Every time
- 47:52Speaker 8: the Niners go down, it's all Niners every time they
- 47:55Speaker 8: know insame with the Chargers, even though they don't use
- 47:57Speaker 8: that dumb moniker, but it's it's the other team. They
- 48:01Speaker 8: don't even fill their own stadium. Maybe they do in
- 48:03Speaker 8: the playoffs, so it's typical LA. But but the places
- 48:06Speaker 8: you could potentially go if you don't win the division, Philly,
- 48:10Speaker 8: Green Bay, places like that, Detroit, which is extremely loud
- 48:15Speaker 8: in the playoffs. That's the difference versus and I get
- 48:18Speaker 8: it that the Seahawks are really good at home. I'm
- 48:19Speaker 8: sure there's someone yelling in their car right now. This
- 48:21Speaker 8: jackass is saying, we can't win on the road. They can,
- 48:25Speaker 8: but I don't care what the record says and how
- 48:27Speaker 8: many they won in a row. It would be a
- 48:28Speaker 8: lot nicer if it was at Lumenfield versus Saint Philly,
- 48:31Speaker 8: which I've covered playoff games there. It is nasty, and
- 48:35Speaker 8: I mean you've been in all those places. Yeah nasty.
- 48:37Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 48:38Speaker 2: Seattle beat Philly and Philly in a playoff game a
- 48:40Speaker 2: few years ago, but I remember it. Yeah, but it's
- 48:42Speaker 2: when Philly had like no quarterback, like the carcass.
- 48:45Speaker 8: They like jumped up and caught that one to see.
- 48:47Speaker 2: Yeah, DK set a record for receiving and it was
- 48:50Speaker 2: the rodden carcass of Josh McCowan I think ended up
- 48:53Speaker 2: being the quarterback Carson. Yeah, in Philly because Carson wentz
- 48:59Speaker 2: at my head there.
- 49:00Speaker 6: I like.
- 49:02Speaker 8: I like Philly.
- 49:03Speaker 1: I like Philly. I like I think it's a blast.
- 49:04Speaker 1: I think it's awesome.
- 49:06Speaker 3: It was I felt in doctor.
- 49:07Speaker 2: Tell right now, Cleveland's worst. Cleveland's the worst. Cleveland is
- 49:11Speaker 2: a worse environment. Yeah, it's it's far worse.
- 49:14Speaker 8: Dog pounds. Just enjoy that, you know, right, every is
- 49:19Speaker 8: the claim, the claim the fame in Cleveland is because
- 49:23Speaker 8: I was at this game. They there was at one point.
- 49:26Speaker 8: I'm gonna age myself past my barely twenty one. But
- 49:29Speaker 8: the glass there used to be glass bottles with NFL games,
- 49:33Speaker 8: you can believe that. And in the Dog Pound they
- 49:35Speaker 8: were pissed off and they started throwing beer bottles onto
- 49:38Speaker 8: the field and that's when they went plastic at NFL games.
- 49:41Speaker 8: Thanks to Cleveland.
- 49:42Speaker 1: Thank you Cleveland.
- 49:43Speaker 3: Oh that's history.
- 49:45Speaker 1: That's history.
- 49:46Speaker 2: John might be right, John Lon joining us. All right,
- 49:50Speaker 2: So red zone, red zone offense, let's talk about that,
- 49:53Speaker 2: because you just sent me something interesting there. And this
- 49:55Speaker 2: is I think, honestly, when you start talking about games
- 49:59Speaker 2: with two teams really close league, you know, hooked up
- 50:01Speaker 2: and stuff, I don't look at the the Darnel interceptions
- 50:03Speaker 2: are weird because he saw some weird ones this year,
- 50:05Speaker 2: like when it doesn't matter, like against the Commanders when
- 50:08Speaker 2: they're up by forty, you know, and last week you
- 50:11Speaker 2: threw just a weird one when they're up big it
- 50:12Speaker 2: doesn't matter. But the red zone offense period, who has
- 50:17Speaker 2: the advantage Seattle.
- 50:18Speaker 1: Or LA, Well, it's interesting.
- 50:21Speaker 8: Both are really good red zone teams, but LA is
- 50:24Speaker 8: elite when it comes to the red zone offensively. And
- 50:27Speaker 8: then if you look at red zone defense, again, the
- 50:29Speaker 8: Rams are second best in red zone than the Seahawks
- 50:33Speaker 8: are seventh. I mean again, they're really really but and
- 50:35Speaker 8: the Seahawks are really good. So really what it comes
- 50:37Speaker 8: down to is both are very efficient offensively. I mean,
- 50:40Speaker 8: what's really interesting about the whole thing is they're very
- 50:42Speaker 8: very close in all different ways. Pressure rate, you know,
- 50:45Speaker 8: it's been famous that the Seahawks don't blitz a lot,
- 50:47Speaker 8: neither to the Rams, but yet both teams get home
- 50:50Speaker 8: the big key. So you just talk about red zone
- 50:52Speaker 8: and third down, which are massive. Third down percentage allowed,
- 50:55Speaker 8: the Rams are number two in all of the NFL
- 50:57Speaker 8: only thirty three percent. So elite defense when it comes
- 51:00Speaker 8: to the Rams in the red zone and on third down,
- 51:03Speaker 8: elite offensively are the Seahawks in the red zone as well.
- 51:05Speaker 8: So it's going to come down to those two things.
- 51:07Speaker 8: One thing that's really interesting in looking at the numbers
- 51:10Speaker 8: and not get to get to dorky on this whole thing,
- 51:12Speaker 8: is the Rams lead the league in light box. What
- 51:15Speaker 8: that means is seven guys in the box, eight not nine.
- 51:19Speaker 8: They're not running up the safety. So if you watch
- 51:21Speaker 8: them and they do a lot of personnel where they
- 51:23Speaker 8: keep three linebackers on the field that unlike Seattle. Seattle's
- 51:26Speaker 8: number one in the league. They just keep Nickel out
- 51:28Speaker 8: out there all the time, which is good against the Rams.
- 51:31Speaker 8: But can the Seahawks, who even though they're not one
- 51:34Speaker 8: of the better running teams in the league in three
- 51:36Speaker 8: point eight yards per carry, but they're second in the
- 51:38Speaker 8: amount of carry. So what that tells you is Kubiak
- 51:40Speaker 8: doesn't care. He just continues to run the football regardless
- 51:44Speaker 8: if the Seahawks could get that number to say four
- 51:46Speaker 8: and a half yards per carry, and the Rams continue
- 51:48Speaker 8: to run light box. And what that means also is
- 51:50Speaker 8: Matthew Stafford's standing on the sideline. So I know these
- 51:53Speaker 8: things are really obvious to talk about. Jesus. The Seahawks
- 51:55Speaker 8: can run the football, they'll win the game, thanks genius.
- 51:58Speaker 8: But it does so many different things, and the Seahawks
- 52:00Speaker 8: will continue to run it regardless of how they run it.
- 52:03Speaker 8: But the Rams don't have to blitz the quarterback to
- 52:05Speaker 8: get there. And the Rams can use seven and still
- 52:08Speaker 8: stop the run. So can the Seahawks take advantage of
- 52:11Speaker 8: the team that runs light box most defensively in the league.
- 52:14Speaker 8: And that's the Rams.
- 52:15Speaker 2: The you watched him, and for you able to know
- 52:18Speaker 2: John worked in Detroit for a while before moving back
- 52:21Speaker 2: out west. You've watched Stafford probably as much as anybody,
- 52:24Speaker 2: and covered him as much as anybody.
- 52:26Speaker 1: I heard that.
- 52:26Speaker 2: I've heard this talked about, and I just think it's
- 52:29Speaker 2: I think it's one of those great misnomers out there that, oh,
- 52:32Speaker 2: you know, Stafford is just a sitting duck. He's a
- 52:34Speaker 2: statue back there. And I always think, No, he's not Lamar,
- 52:37Speaker 2: he's not Mahomes, he's not Caleb, but maybe he's Ben Roethlisberger.
- 52:43Speaker 1: Maybe you could explain it better. I think he's a
- 52:45Speaker 1: hard guy to bring down. A.
- 52:46Speaker 2: He gets through the ball quickly, but B he's big
- 52:50Speaker 2: enough and strong enough, and he has those slide steps.
- 52:52Speaker 1: He does those things.
- 52:53Speaker 2: It just feels like he's he doesn't get taken down
- 52:56Speaker 2: as often as he should for whatever reason.
- 52:59Speaker 8: He's he doesn't have great movement skills. But there's a
- 53:02Speaker 8: big difference. People get lost in this difference, which is,
- 53:05Speaker 8: like you said, movement in the pocket. Again, Brady, especially
- 53:08Speaker 8: at the end of his career, he couldn't move, but
- 53:10Speaker 8: he could slide in the pocket. And Marino is at
- 53:12Speaker 8: the end and at the bad needs, but he could
- 53:13Speaker 8: slide in the pocket and then they have a lightning
- 53:15Speaker 8: quick release and Stafford still has one of the best,
- 53:18Speaker 8: if not the best arm of the league. Josh Allen
- 53:20Speaker 8: up there. There's a few other guys, but it's his
- 53:23Speaker 8: ability pre snap to say I know where I'm going
- 53:25Speaker 8: to go with the football, and a lot of times
- 53:26Speaker 8: it's pook and akua that makes it easy. And I
- 53:28Speaker 8: think whether Devonte Adams plays is a huge thing, but
- 53:31Speaker 8: he knows where he's going with the ball generally before
- 53:33Speaker 8: it snaps. So it's going to be interesting what Mike
- 53:36Speaker 8: McDonald does because even though they don't blitz a lot.
- 53:38Speaker 8: We just saw against Arizona now Ja Kobe Brissett's totally different,
- 53:41Speaker 8: but the amount of pressure that they can get if
- 53:43Speaker 8: they can get in Stafford's face, he has had games
- 53:47Speaker 8: where he gets sacked and there's a ton of pressure
- 53:49Speaker 8: on him. He might be the toughest guy in the
- 53:51Speaker 8: league just in terms of the way he'll get hit
- 53:53Speaker 8: and just keep getting up, keep getting up, keeping that up.
- 53:55Speaker 8: You and I talked about it at the beginning of
- 53:56Speaker 8: the year with his back hold up, and clearly it
- 53:59Speaker 8: is he's not making mistakes, he's not throwing interceptions. They're
- 54:03Speaker 8: in terms of, you know, running the football, They're not
- 54:05Speaker 8: where the Seahawks are, so it's going to be on
- 54:07Speaker 8: his arm. But yeah, it's really difficult to get to him.
- 54:10Speaker 8: But the main reason I is he just gets rid
- 54:12Speaker 8: of it's so damn fast. He just know what's where
- 54:15Speaker 8: he's going with the football. He's seen everything in thirty seven.
- 54:18Speaker 8: You're not going to throw something exotic, although I would
- 54:21Speaker 8: imagine that Mike McDonald the way he does things, he's
- 54:23Speaker 8: probably got a few things in his pocket for this
- 54:25Speaker 8: week and if those things hit, then they can have
- 54:27Speaker 8: some major success against Stanford.
- 54:29Speaker 2: By the way, while you were saying that, I just
- 54:30Speaker 2: had a bite of a Chris Bean burrito from Taco Time.
- 54:33Speaker 2: Big shout out to our friends at Taco Time final
- 54:37Speaker 2: shoved in my face by one Dave softy mar But
- 54:39Speaker 2: I'll take take that again.
- 54:41Speaker 1: It was a little bit you need.
- 54:43Speaker 8: Are you even one of those rolled up one?
- 54:44Speaker 1: Those rolls up burritos are so good, they're the best.
- 54:47Speaker 2: That's absolutely big time. I love you guys, Chrispine be
- 54:50Speaker 2: farrito fantastic. Go back to the interception. I look at
- 54:53Speaker 2: interception rate too, because I think a lot of people
- 54:55Speaker 2: are like, okay, how many times you've been sacked, you know,
- 54:57Speaker 2: and and all that the sacks per pass attempt to
- 55:01Speaker 2: go back to what you said, Stafford fourth in the league,
- 55:04Speaker 2: which is fourth best, like four point five percent of
- 55:07Speaker 2: time he sacked, and number two in the league is
- 55:09Speaker 2: Donald at four point three. Those guys neither one of
- 55:11Speaker 2: them get sacked, which is wild because I just wasn't
- 55:14Speaker 2: that long ago we had a short, little diminutive quarterback
- 55:17Speaker 2: here that complained about getting hit all the time with
- 55:21Speaker 2: by the way, when he did that, we had the
- 55:23Speaker 2: same two tackles and Lucas and cross but I'll move that,
- 55:26Speaker 2: leave that there the but yeah, but tho. So both
- 55:30Speaker 2: those guys get rid of the ball. The interception rate
- 55:32Speaker 2: is the one that just jumps off the page. Stafford
- 55:35Speaker 2: zero point six four percent, third best in the league,
- 55:38Speaker 2: third best in the league. Hurts his number one, but
- 55:41Speaker 2: that's because he's checked down Charlie and barely throws and
- 55:43Speaker 2: Baker may and Baker Mayfield's number two, but they're actually
- 55:47Speaker 2: tied Stafford, and for some reason they'd rank him. They're
- 55:50Speaker 2: both zero point six four Stafford just kiss for the
- 55:52Speaker 2: ball Donald twenty ninth three percent of the time. Now
- 55:57Speaker 2: again I'll go back, not all interceptions are created the same.
- 56:00Speaker 2: Like I like, he threw two passes the other day
- 56:03Speaker 2: in the second half. Two, So the race goes up
- 56:05Speaker 2: higher because they've blown teams out and he has had
- 56:07Speaker 2: to throw the ball as much. But I think that
- 56:09Speaker 2: is better mentioning Staffords. Go back to what you said,
- 56:11Speaker 2: Stafford doesn't make mistakes period, end of story.
- 56:15Speaker 8: Yeah, look, I get it with Darnold. It's some of
- 56:19Speaker 8: these have been kind of you know, even last week,
- 56:21Speaker 8: like Arizona was briefly we're not even really back in
- 56:23Speaker 8: the game. But like the Tampa game for example, obviously
- 56:25Speaker 8: that cost him game as great at the game as
- 56:27Speaker 8: he played. All I'm simply saying is, and this is
- 56:30Speaker 8: again an obvious thing, but turnover margin is massive in
- 56:33Speaker 8: this game. The Rams are plus seven on the in
- 56:35Speaker 8: the year. Around the year, the Seahawks are minus four. However,
- 56:37Speaker 8: we spin it. That's the fact, and we know what
- 56:39Speaker 8: the percentage are when teams win the turnover battle, especially
- 56:42Speaker 8: by more than one. The big number here, too is
- 56:45Speaker 8: the rams that were covered in NFL High eight fumbles,
- 56:48Speaker 8: so everybody's raking at the ball. Now, you know the quarterback.
- 56:51Speaker 8: Every time a guy gets hit, okay, one guy hold
- 56:54Speaker 8: him up, one guy rip it out. We've seen what
- 56:56Speaker 8: kind of differences that makes in the game. So yeah,
- 56:58Speaker 8: look again, an obvious thing is the turnover margin is
- 57:01Speaker 8: going to be huge because the Rams have been on
- 57:03Speaker 8: the good side of it, especially the covering fumbles, and
- 57:05Speaker 8: the Seahawks not as much. But I agree with you,
- 57:08Speaker 8: there's been some issues with Donald but again, he's s
- 57:10Speaker 8: fumbled the ball, he's been loose in the pocket with
- 57:11Speaker 8: the ball. That they know that, and you know how
- 57:14Speaker 8: that will works. These guys work on an all week long.
- 57:17Speaker 8: If you have a turnover issue and Dnald kind of
- 57:19Speaker 8: does then as great as he's played this year, then
- 57:21Speaker 8: that's what they're going to focus on. And that can
- 57:23Speaker 8: change games very, very simply. So that's the big thing
- 57:26Speaker 8: to me. The other big thing that nobody's really talking
- 57:28Speaker 8: about in this game. And I know it's kind of dorky,
- 57:30Speaker 8: but the Rams Joshua Cardy their kicker out of Stanford, yeh,
- 57:34Speaker 8: he's no longer and they've got this guy, the thicker kicker,
- 57:37Speaker 8: and he had six extra points last week in San Francisco.
- 57:40Speaker 8: Believe me, I watched them all, but he didn't attempt
- 57:43Speaker 8: the field goal. He's got two field goal attempts in
- 57:45Speaker 8: his entire NFL career. So I believe you know this
- 57:47Speaker 8: is going to be a close game down there in
- 57:49Speaker 8: LA when it comes down to it, Is it going
- 57:51Speaker 8: to be Jason Myers, the thicker kicker. I realize they're
- 57:53Speaker 8: inside its ideal conditions. It should be fine. But a
- 57:57Speaker 8: guy who's never made a field goal yet had six
- 57:59Speaker 8: extra points last week, and as bad as Carty was,
- 58:01Speaker 8: they had no choice. Kind of like Jake Moody here
- 58:03Speaker 8: in San Francisco earlier in the year, you just had
- 58:05Speaker 8: to make a choice. Now, Eddie Pinero has been amazing
- 58:07Speaker 8: for the forty nine ers, But what is this kid
- 58:09Speaker 8: going to do if it's a close game. Is it
- 58:11Speaker 8: going to be Myers or this kid? It really could
- 58:13Speaker 8: come down to special teams.
- 58:14Speaker 2: It did last year in uh, it did last year
- 58:17Speaker 2: or two I guess the A's two years ago. Maybe
- 58:19Speaker 2: it came down to it right when when Myers missed
- 58:20Speaker 2: the long field goals. So who do you like in
- 58:22Speaker 2: the game?
- 58:23Speaker 1: Real quick?
- 58:25Speaker 8: You know what? I liked the Seahawks to upset them.
- 58:27Speaker 8: I just I know both teams are playing really, really well,
- 58:30Speaker 8: and the Rams have a really good defense. But there's
- 58:32Speaker 8: there's just a couple of things. I think that the
- 58:35Speaker 8: Seahawks will keep the turnovers and check. I think that
- 58:38Speaker 8: their ability to run the football against that like box
- 58:40Speaker 8: is a huge thing. And as great as Stafford has been,
- 58:44Speaker 8: I just think it's you know, it might be time.
- 58:46Speaker 8: There's gonna be ways. I think that Mike McDonald. I
- 58:49Speaker 8: know coaches do this, and so do you. They would
- 58:51Speaker 8: never say this, but I know that he's had this
- 58:53Speaker 8: thing circled on his calendar for a few weeks and
- 58:55Speaker 8: he hasn't shown some exotics. But I think he's going
- 58:57Speaker 8: to show. And it's also going to come down to
- 58:59Speaker 8: you know, Look is gonna make plays. JSN is going
- 59:02Speaker 8: to make clazy. These are the top two receivers in
- 59:04Speaker 8: terms of yards per game. Put me. You know, Nikup
- 59:07Speaker 8: has been injured a little bit, but come down to
- 59:08Speaker 8: DeVante Adams. Is he going to play? If so, how effectively?
- 59:11Speaker 8: But I just think that the Seahawks are playing great
- 59:14Speaker 8: at the right time, and I just think it's they
- 59:16Speaker 8: have an opportunity and again once the Seahawks have shown,
- 59:20Speaker 8: and you know this better than I do, that they're
- 59:22Speaker 8: going to be a good football team. They're going to
- 59:24Speaker 8: travel and I think that place is going to be
- 59:26Speaker 8: a Seahawks South football agree.
- 59:28Speaker 9: I do.
- 59:28Speaker 8: It's going to be so far south there. It's going
- 59:30Speaker 8: to be, you know, Illumin's south kind of thing. And
- 59:32Speaker 8: I think this. I think they're going to take over
- 59:34Speaker 8: that stadium.
- 59:35Speaker 2: I saw the fans take over La Colise and be honest,
- 59:37Speaker 2: to be honest with you when they first move there,
- 59:38Speaker 2: and it's it's gonna be that way this week and
- 59:40Speaker 2: so fine and never they don't play home games, they
- 59:41Speaker 2: play neutral side at best.
- 59:42Speaker 1: Real quick, tell peop about Pro Football Wire, the FB wire.
- 59:46Speaker 8: I just sent e and all these things, and even
- 59:48Speaker 8: though he's complaining about it, I'm sure you would find
- 59:50Speaker 8: it all useful. So we'll make sure that we're going
- 59:51Speaker 8: to do a show tonight. We're going to preview all
- 59:53Speaker 8: the games, so make sure that this is going to
- 59:54Speaker 8: be tops on the list. I realize that the Eagles
- 59:56Speaker 8: and the Lions are a big game, but I think
- 59:58Speaker 8: that the winner of this game is to get the
- 1:00:00Speaker 8: top seed in the NFC. You guys are you guys

- 1:03:00Speaker 6: All right, everyone's going to be mad because I'm going
- 1:03:04Speaker 6: with my heart. I'm taking the Jets, j Etsy Jets.
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: And there's a couple of difference.
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: What's a spread plus what's the spread? We don't care
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: about that.
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: One Jets plus eleven, Jets plus eleven at the Patriots. Yes,
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: Jets plus eleven at New England. Fact four nine four
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: five one, Fiction four nine four five one. If you
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: think the Patriots are going to win by twelve or more,
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you.
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: I don't think they're going I.
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: Got no idea that's a that's a this is a
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: stay away game for me. That's a big spread the.
- 1:03:34Speaker 6: App because no one else was gonna pick it. And
- 1:03:39Speaker 6: also the AFC East is so weird.
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: Sha want me to put some juice on that one.
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: I'm a still me casino on Friday for you.
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: I'll get I'll venmo you.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: Okay, we'll talk about that. We'll talk about that later.
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: I don't have the app. Well, I can't use the
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: app and list.
- 1:03:51Speaker 8: I'm there.
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: So Jets Patriots, Jets plus eleven, eleven, Jets plus eleven
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: plus eleven at the Patriots Patriot If you disagree fiction
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: four Patriots, Man, all they do is just keep winning.
- 1:04:07Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't hate this because I feel the same
- 1:04:08Speaker 5: way about the Patriots as I do about the Colts.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: It's bound to come back down to earth.
- 1:04:12Speaker 6: Well, it's also the spread that I'm really picking again.
- 1:04:16Speaker 6: It's like I'm really not betting straight out.
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: Were Now we do know the Jets of one two
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: straight games, right.
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: I don't want false hope. I just to let me
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: like I still want them to keep getting those spin round.
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: Drafted Jets were well on their way to a winless season,
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: losing their first seven, Aaron Glenn around.
- 1:04:40Speaker 6: I have very good conversations with my father about that,
- 1:04:46Speaker 6: and I hear about it. I basically am a human
- 1:04:50Speaker 6: vent session over those. So yes, I am aware of that.
- 1:04:54Speaker 6: But right now I think it's the spread more sad
- 1:04:58Speaker 6: for me, and it's also a rivalry that has existed.
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: For years, big NFL spread.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: So good for you say that's going to be a
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: closer game than eleven.
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: Again, it's brought to you by the Lucky Eagle casino
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: and hotel where every day feels lucky. They're going twenty
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: four every Friday and Saturday. Twenty four hour gaming has
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: started at Lucky Eagle dot com. So where you go again,
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: Jets plus eleven at the Patriots fact four nine four
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: or five one if you disagree. Fiction game by the way,
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: So oh this Thursday, yep, So glad I've got a
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: hockey game that night. So glad I've got a hockey
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: game that Monday game. Just terrible, horrible, terrible games. I mean,
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: I get what, well, I mean, here's a cling to that.
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: Here's the problem is the is the NFL when they're
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: looking at their primetime schedules, you look at market size, right,
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: So Boston Market, New York market.
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: But here's the thing that people forget. These decisions are
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: made by people in Manhattan, New York. They don't fit that.
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: They don't think there's any they don't think there's anything
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: outside of time.
- 1:06:10Speaker 7: That is true.
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: Like, I know, there was like a joke about the
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: East Coast bias.
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: We're just there.
- 1:06:15Speaker 7: I was over the.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: Weekend exist no Aska.

- 1:06:25Speaker 6: Connecticut at ESPN headquarters, and everyone was so trying to
- 1:06:30Speaker 6: get rid of that East Coast bias when I was there. Yeah,
- 1:06:33Speaker 6: and I'm like, yeah, but you guys air Yukon like
- 1:06:35Speaker 6: fifty percent of the type, Like, what are you talking about?
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: Yeah, this is totally East Coast bias.
- 1:06:40Speaker 6: It's I did not know anything about the Seahawks untild that.
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: One game.
- 1:06:47Speaker 6: It was a two thousand and five season, and I
- 1:06:50Speaker 6: got to roll on Coach Holmegreen coming off the plane
- 1:06:53Speaker 6: and saying, I didn't know we'd have.
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: To play the rest that one game super Bowl, by
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: the way.
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: That one game, but it was my first it was
