  Raphaelo Spars on my Bookie dot Ag on your radio. Have Sam Williams next
• 0:04
  segment, Jeddi Bakel at four thirty Spars are welcome in, sir, How
• 0:07
  are you pretty good? How about yourself? You know, we're hanging in
• 0:10
  there, hanging in there. I mean, look, you know, just
• 0:13
  in a matter of like half a week or a week, Missisippi State and
• 0:16
  Ole Miss baseball have have hit the hit the hit the wall. So I
• 0:19
  mean that's kind of that was fun. That was over quickly. Now we
• 0:22
  just turned to national college baseball. Yeah, I mean, there's been some
• 0:28
  good games so far that have steen in college baseball. One thing about everyone
• 0:33
  keeps going to ask me, how come some books don't book college more college
• 0:37
  baseball eyes and stuff like that. First of all, people need to realize
• 0:40
  that the only actually we get in college baseball is usually like when they go
• 0:45
  when a playoff start and stuff like that. Right now, only the wise
• 0:48
  guys are betting at college baseball. So trying to find and out of conference
• 0:54
  college baseball line, it's going to be pretty hard to do. Yeah,
• 0:57
  I was gonna say, and that's kind to me. I would assume,
• 1:00
  is that a tough sport to handicap. I mean, if you're going to
• 1:03
  handicap it, you want a handicap as many as you can. But so
• 1:06
  many rosters, so many, I mean, is it tougher to handicap than
• 1:10
  a normal baseball game like Major League Baseball? It is just so many conferences.
• 1:15
  I mean in basketball, you know you're automatically going to get two way
• 1:19
  actions a lot in college basketball. But in college baseball is probably the hardest
• 1:23
  one because some of them don't even go on TV. You got California Baptists.
• 1:27
  You have teams that some people don't even know they had baseball teams.
• 1:32
  Do you have Nickels if you're in Louisiana and stuff like. There's just so
• 1:36
  many teams when it comes to college baseball. We could probably handicap it now
• 1:40
  we would just get one side actions. But perfect example, if we were
• 1:42
  doing I'm trying to think of a game today that we're probably it's probably lopste
• 1:47
  in Arizona State Ohio State. Right now, we're so lopsided on ASU because
• 1:52
  no one's betting Ohio State. Granted there could be we're lopste that could be
• 1:56
  just maybe three best because we're not getting any bets in it Rightfael. As
• 2:00
  far as my book, get out, ag Get in and Play Today,
• 2:02
  college basketball though always hot. A lot going on as we move through the
• 2:07
  weeks here in the next few weeks, you know, bracketology continues to heat
• 2:10
  up. Looking at you know some of the lines. I'm looking at Yukon,
• 2:15
  you know, five to one to win the whole thing that I believe.
• 2:17
  Purdue was the number one team a couple of weeks ago and they're now
• 2:20
  six and a half to one, Houston, Arizona. I don't know the
• 2:24
  four teams that are listed as the number one teams right now. That would
• 2:28
  be Yukon, Produce, Houston, and Arizona. I don't know that they
• 2:30
  are heads and shoulders better than the twos or the threes. Are they?
• 2:35
  No, they're not. I had a conversation today talking about no one's really
• 2:38
  talking about some of these twos that are going to be probably in there,
• 2:42
  like a North Carolina team that's probably really hungry because didn't even make a tournament
• 2:46
  last year, so now they're probably going to be a style of two as
• 2:51
  of now, maybe they could falter off because so far, a lot of
• 2:53
  top teams have had some bad losses coming in there, but yeah, but
• 2:57
  on sleep by the twos, this is probably and I hoping I don't see
• 3:00
  this every year, but this is probably the wide open March minus I have
• 3:05
  seen in a very very very long I can see a three winning at all
• 3:09
  or even a four three right now, I think Baylor could be a three,
• 3:13
  Iowa State could be a three. I'm trying to think Tennessee can maybe
• 3:16
  be a three if they slip up a little bit, which is probably gonna
• 3:21
  be one of the most wide open tournaments now. And you know, we
• 3:24
  do say that a lot, but I think there's a lot of truth to
• 3:27
  it because you look at you know, just like the focus on college football
• 3:30
  right now obviously is the transfer portal, but when you look at college basketball,
• 3:36
  that's been the case for quite a while, and you know a lot
• 3:38
  of rosters will be flipped totally in a year. I mean, I remember
• 3:40
  a couple of years ago LSU, I think had I can't remember like everybody,
• 3:45
  but two guys transferred out and their whole new team was new. So
• 3:47
  you know, I don't know how many of these teams, and I think
• 3:50
  that's why you see some of these like the Saint Mary's of the World or
• 3:53
  maybe a San Diego State of the World or Creighton. They'll make a run
• 3:55
  of the tournament because they have, you know, roster, a roster that
• 3:59
  has been together for two three years. We just don't I mean, you
• 4:01
  just don't see that in any of the big schools Duke, Kansas, Kentucky.
• 4:05
  I mean, none of them have longevity in the roster, which I
• 4:09
  think makes for the tournament to be more wide open. Yeah, and your
• 4:12
  favorite school, Alabama, they can make some noise. There'll probably be a
• 4:15
  three to fourteenth even though they just fired their football played by play college.
• 4:19
  You guys had discussion. I can't believe that's you guys with discussion on the
• 4:24
  air, But that's I'm not the producer or you, but I guess that's
• 4:28
  hot topics there. Oh it's one hot topics. I mean, think about
• 4:30
  Alabama. They got rid of their legendary football coach and their legendary radio broadcast
• 4:36
  guy, and their new football coaches on social media for the first like that's
• 4:40
  the first time Alabama footall was their coaches have been on off social media.
• 4:43
  So, I mean Alabama's going what eight and four next year? I could
• 4:47
  see that. I could see them losing three foot fo This is not the
• 4:50
  same Alabama even when David was there. It wasn't the same Alabama the last
• 4:55
  couple of years. Welcome to the times of college sports. Oh absolutely,
• 4:58
  Raphaelsparz on mybook dot A g get in a play today. Let's talk a
• 5:00
  little NFL. We've got some time here. It looks like at least talking
• 5:04
  the talking heads are putting it out there. Kleb Williams is gonna go to
• 5:06
  the Bears. What happens to Justin Fields? What is the interest in Justin
• 5:11
  Fields? I know he's your guy. I did an interview for the Chicago
• 5:15
  station and they said there's about four to five teams that are gonna make that
• 5:18
  phone call to try to get Justin Fields. I think the Bears are just
• 5:23
  gonna take the best one, and I don't. And I think the Bears
• 5:25
  really do like this kid. I think they really do like Justin Fields.
• 5:28
  But when you have this Caleb Willms, the people are talking about he could
• 5:32
  be the next Patrick Mahomes or how do you pass up this kind of offers?
• 5:38
  You're gonna probably get a number one pick, and so many other picks
• 5:41
  you if you're the Bears, you just can't pass that up. So I
• 5:45
  would not be shocked if the Bears call, Pittsburgh, calls New England,
• 5:48
  calls someone in the top three or four that Kayler Willms is their guy.
• 5:55
  I mean, no offense. I think the Bears are trading this. It's
• 5:57
  just how much can they get for it? So you think they're trading out
• 6:00
  of the pick or trading justin fields. Oh, they're trading justin field.
• 6:03
  They're going to get it that they're going to take the pick and they're going
• 6:05
  to trade justin field easily. I do not. I mean, I think
• 6:10
  he've even told him. That's why he came out yesterday because I'm tired of
• 6:13
  this talk and which he was just happy and blah blah blah. What's your
• 6:16
  take on the quarterback class? You know, much like we say every year,
• 6:18
  it's the most wide open field we've seen, which there's a lot of
• 6:20
  truth to that. We just discussed that every year. It's like, well,
• 6:23
  this is the potentially the best quarterback. Now, we didn't say it
• 6:26
  two years ago when Kenny Pickett was the number one guy. We kind of
• 6:28
  knew the whole field was very very thin. But you hear a lot of
• 6:31
  times this can be the best class since eighty five or eighty three. Excuse
• 6:34
  me, my best class since eighty three, Kayla Williams. You know Drake
• 6:38
  may is going to go right there in the top three, Jade and Daniels
• 6:41
  likely in the top three. Then of course you got McCarthy, You've got
• 6:45
  you know, Panics at Washington bow Nicks. Is this class really the deepest
• 6:49
  we've seen in a while. Kind of was the deepest or talented, But
• 6:54
  there's a lot of good question marks and then we'll put there. I still
• 6:57
  think Jane Dane this is a question mark. He's he's gonna go two or
• 7:00
  three, But I think he's a question mark. He's had one really good
• 7:04
  year and we've all seen really really big mobile quarterbacks paint the NFL. Happened
• 7:12
  last year Richardson and got hurt. But I like bon Nicks, I think
• 7:15
  he's experienced. I have no idea why Michael Pennix Junior's necking that much loved.
• 7:19
  Maybe because of his his knees. We're all tore up, and how's
• 7:23
  he gonna pass physicals and all that. The kid from two Lanes got a
• 7:27
  canon Michael Pratt and no one's talking about so I think there's a lot of
• 7:30
  good question marks on there, even obviously number one. I'm not sold on
• 7:34
  the number one pick killer with him. When your offensive line of us he's
• 7:36
  talking bad about you, that there's that he's glad that he's gone. That
• 7:41
  puts smoke, and I don't like smoke when I'm looking at quarterbacks because sometimes
• 7:45
  that just starts a really big fire. Now there's no doubt about it.
• 7:47
  Ropulospars at my bookie dot ag get In and played today. What's going on
• 7:50
  in Philadelphia? A J. Brown? Every time I look up, A
• 7:54
  J. Brown is chirping about something, media locker room is Is that makeup
• 8:00
  emminent between AJ Brown on the Philadelphia Eagles? I think so. If not,
• 8:05
  I think everyone's going to play one more year, and if they have
• 8:09
  a year like they did last year, then I think some fires are going
• 8:13
  to be starting light let go. I think a new head coach AJ Brown
• 8:16
  play calling, I think we can see a big change in Philadelphia. I
• 8:20
  don't know if he's going to be gone because I think I think the offense
• 8:24
  needs him unless they draft. I mean, no one's talked about this wide
• 8:28
  receiver class is very very deep in the draft, so unless they get someone
• 8:33
  that they really liked it, maybe they can let him go. But I
• 8:37
  think everyone in Philly is going to get a one year past. Hey,
• 8:39
  what else is going on? What's going on in the fight world? What
• 8:43
  else can people play? I know there's a lot to do. This it's
• 8:45
  a very convoluted sports part of the calendar. Well, we got UFC Mexico
• 8:50
  this weekends, have some nice, really good matchups coming off a great UFC
• 8:54
  last weekend, so that's probably this key this one. But it's all about
• 8:58
  pretty mus college basketball because I can't believe in league and I we're in the
• 9:00
  month of March. Baseball. First baseball preseason game I got to watch on
• 9:03
  my TV today was fantastic Andres and Dodgers. So baseball just around the corner.
• 9:09
  So it's gonna be a full, full thing. And the NBA star
• 9:11
  tips back into I hate to say second half of the seasons because they only
• 9:15
  got like twenty games left, but I can't believe. NHG and NBA playoffs
• 9:18
  are just around the corner as well. Hey, can we go ahead and
• 9:20
  start a petition to stop all All Star Games. I mean, the NBA
• 9:24
  All Star Game is a flop. It always is. The NFL Pro Bowl
• 9:28
  is you know, can we just get rid of this stuff? I can
• 9:33
  say, yeah, get rid of all that. I do like. I
• 9:35
  think the Baseball All Star Game is semi competitive because the pitchers don't want to
• 9:39
  get rocks, they don't want to give up any home runs, and the
• 9:43
  hitters are trying to hit home runs to satisfy the crowds. I think the
• 9:46
  Baseball All Star Game is the best out of everyone in the league. But
• 9:50
  everything else you just go buy buyers, hey, get it and play Mybucky
• 9:54
  Dot ag aspars. I appreciate you. Rather look, we'll do it again
• 9:56
  next week. Take it easy and fantastic week.
