Transcript
- 0:00Okay, okay, okay, we're here, we're back, it's Thursday, it's three for the money, new episodes
- 0:23every Thursday.
- 0:24I messed up the intro a little bit.
- 0:26A little bit.
- 0:27You're covered.
- 0:28But it's okay, because we're here and we're back.
- 0:31We're here and we're back.
- 0:32We're here and we're back and I'll say it till we die.
- 0:38The finals are set for the NBA and the NHL.
- 0:41Yes, sir.
- 0:43Yeah, super, NBA starts Friday, NHL starts Saturday, unless those are reversed.
- 0:50I can't remember.
- 0:51No, NBA starts tomorrow.
- 0:54It starts Thursday.
- 0:55It starts June 1st.
- 0:57And the NHL starts Sunday.
- 0:58Oh, the third.
- 0:59Is that Sunday?
- 1:00Yeah.
- 1:01I thought one of them started on Sunday.
- 1:04You know what?
- 1:05Whatever, it doesn't matter.
- 1:06I don't know what Sunday.
- 1:08It's the third, whatever it is.
- 1:10That's Saturday.
- 1:11That's Saturday.
- 1:12It is Saturday.
- 1:13That's still a long time.
- 1:15I thought it was offset days where we get hockey one day and then next day basketball.
- 1:22I don't know about next day because I know NBA takes a few days in between and NHL for
- 1:27the most part is either every other day or you'll have one travel day in.
- 1:32I think NBA is normally like three days in between.
- 1:36Well now, which is dumb.
- 1:38Do the heat and no, they don't play at the same place, right?
- 1:43Do the heat and the Panthers play at the same place?
- 1:46No, because the Panthers play at Lauderdale.
- 1:49They play in Sunrise.
- 1:51The Panthers arena is like after like a bank or something, isn't it?
- 1:56Like, maybe there's...
- 1:57SunTrust?
- 1:58Yeah.
- 1:59No, it's not.
- 2:00Oh, true.
- 2:01No.
- 2:02I don't know.
- 2:03I don't know.
- 2:04We should have looked this up.
- 2:05They play in Sunrise.
- 2:06They don't play in the same arena because I know the heat arena is called American Airlines
- 2:09and I know that's not the name of the Panthers.
- 2:11That's the Dallas arena in NHL.
- 2:13Yeah.
- 2:14Yeah.
- 2:15American Airlines Center, that's the Dallas one.
- 2:17That's Dallas.
- 2:18Dallas and maybe I was wrong.
- 2:19Oh, shit.
- 2:21Time out.
- 2:22We got to figure this out.
- 2:24Wait.
- 2:25We're not at a geography podcast.
- 2:30This isn't...
- 2:31I don't think that...
- 2:32I don't think that...
- 2:33Sponsorship...
- 2:34I don't think that heat and Panthers play in the same arena.
- 2:37That name is wrong because the American Airlines is where the stars play.
- 2:41Because the Panthers claim for Lauderdale.
- 2:44No, no, they don't.
- 2:46No, they don't.
- 2:47They don't claim for Lauderdale.
- 2:49They don't play in the same arena.
- 2:51Or both.
- 2:52Both.
- 2:53Okay.
- 2:54I thought they were in Lauderdale.
- 2:55No, they're in...
- 2:56No, they're in...
- 2:57Wait.
- 2:58Small town just west of Fort Lauderdale, just north of Miami.
- 3:04So like...
- 3:05No.
- 3:06Sunrise...
- 3:07No, but like sunrise is like a 20 minute drive from Miami.
- 3:13Yeah.
- 3:14It's like...
- 3:15Lauderdale and Miami are not very far.
- 3:17Where the dolphins play at Hard Rock?
- 3:18I know that for a fact.
- 3:20Hard Rock Stadium.
- 3:21Yes.
- 3:22Um, it's literally like 15 minutes away.
- 3:25Yeah.
- 3:26I know that...
- 3:27Yeah.
- 3:28I know that Fort Lauderdale is like half an hour away from Miami.
- 3:32Well, dang.
- 3:33It's almost like not even a different city.
- 3:35I thought Fort Lauderdale was like on the other side.
- 3:37I thought it was a Gulf...
- 3:39I thought it was a Gulf city.
- 3:40No, people save money flying into Fort Lauderdale.
- 3:44That makes sense.
- 3:45On their Miami trip.
- 3:46That makes sense.
- 3:47So...
- 3:48It makes a lot of sense.
- 3:49Yeah.
- 3:50Okay.
- 3:51So anyways...
- 3:52That was just a theory.
- 3:53It was just a theory I had on why the games are delayed a little bit.
- 3:58Yeah.
- 3:59Well, like for...
- 4:00I know that neither team or playing have home court, home ice advantage, but it would
- 4:05make sense that it would be offset a little bit because of that.
- 4:12But yeah.
- 4:15I digress.
- 4:16Yeah.
- 4:17Well...
- 4:18The matchups are set in the NHL.
- 4:20We have the Vegas Golden Knights and we have the Florida Panthers.
- 4:25And then in the NBA, it's Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets.
- 4:31And I don't know.
- 4:33I'm not as excited for the NHL one, but at the same time, it's a new team getting a Stanley
- 4:42Cone.
- 4:43One team will get there first.
- 4:44Yes.
- 4:45Yes.
- 4:46And that's...
- 4:47Nice.
- 4:48That's huge.
- 4:49Yeah.
- 4:50So I was looking at like the past three Eastern Conference teams.
- 4:54They're all the Tampa Bay Lightning, you know.
- 4:57But I did want to bring up something because two of them were the bubble.
- 5:03Yes.
- 5:04And the other was the shortened season.
- 5:06Yes.
- 5:07Shorted season.
- 5:08The shortened season.
- 5:10Right.
- 5:11Yes.
- 5:12Yeah.
- 5:13Yeah.
- 5:1456 game season.
- 5:15They go to the Cup Final last year and lose to the Aves.
- 5:21So...
- 5:22Frauds?
- 5:23Yes.
- 5:24Who?
- 5:25The Lightning.
- 5:26We have to put an asterisk on it.
- 5:32We can't say LeBron is making a mouse.
- 5:34Yeah, I know.
- 5:35Yeah.
- 5:36You have to put an asterisk.
- 5:37That was the point I was also going to make.
- 5:38They're not fraud.
- 5:39I will say they're not frauds because I went back to back.
- 5:41They did go to and row.
- 5:43But they had stipulations.
- 5:44Yes.
- 5:45That's why I say A.
- 5:46So I think they're two cups or actually should just be one cup.
- 5:50I can make it beyond that.
- 5:52Yeah.
- 5:53That's why I say asterisk instead of just doesn't count.
- 5:56Yeah.
- 5:57We're about like more than one but less than two.
- 6:00One and a half.
- 6:02Yeah, like one and a half.
- 6:04Half a cup.
- 6:05Because I mean they did it twice.
- 6:06Yeah.
- 6:07They played.
- 6:08Yeah.
- 6:09You take the median of both numbers.
- 6:11Yeah.
- 6:12They had to play in order to win and those were the best teams except for in the bubble
- 6:18when they had to play the Canadians.
- 6:20No wait that was the short season.
- 6:23Yeah.
- 6:24They they won them.
- 6:25Yeah.
- 6:26They took a dump on all over their chest.
- 6:28Yeah, they did.
- 6:29Canadians never been the same since.
- 6:31No.
- 6:32They continued being terrible except for that one outlier of a year.
- 6:39But both South Florida teams, eight seeds.
- 6:45Kind of wild.
- 6:47Kind of wild.
- 6:48I mean no NBA team has ever won as an eight seed.
- 6:52I don't think the NHL has.
- 6:54I would win as an eight seed.
- 6:59You're right.
- 7:00I forgot what year that was.
- 7:01Okay, so that was like 2014.
- 7:04Yeah.
- 7:05That was in between one of the Blackhawks ones and where they played their Rangers.
- 7:11Yeah.
- 7:12Yeah.
- 7:13And Martinez scored in double overtime.
- 7:14Yeah, that's sick because I remember Henry tried to go across with his pad and yeah.
- 7:19Yeah, it was wild.
- 7:21Yeah.
- 7:22That's an all time video though.
- 7:23That's, oh, it was incredible.
- 7:24Over time Stanley Cup winner.
- 7:25That series was incredible.
- 7:27Yeah.
- 7:28Also at home.
- 7:30Yeah.
- 7:31See, in a Stanley Cup being like lifted like at home is like, it's so incredible to watch.
- 7:38Yeah.
- 7:39Because it's the fans.
- 7:41Yeah.
- 7:42It's crazy.
- 7:43But as a player, you got to think that you wouldn't give a shit where you lifted it.
- 7:48Oh, for sure.
- 7:49You just want to get there, get it done and celebrate after.
- 7:54Yeah.
- 7:55All right.
- 7:56Well, that was a pretty long intro.
- 7:57How are we doing boys?
- 7:58How are we doing since the last time we met, Chris?
- 8:01I'm doing great.
- 8:02Yeah.
- 8:03Going on a little bit of a heater.
- 8:04I see your Twitter.
- 8:05Yeah.
- 8:06I've had winning days, five days in a row.
- 8:11Six or five of the last seven, I think.
- 8:14So, or six of the last eight, excuse me.
- 8:17Yeah.
- 8:18Doing pretty good.
- 8:19Doing very average today.
- 8:20But still three bets left.
- 8:22Anything could happen.
- 8:24That's baseball.
- 8:25Yeah.
- 8:26I mean, I don't, came out of nowhere.
- 8:27Because I was going terrible.
- 8:30And then just like the first two days, I think I went like, like 14 and three.
- 8:35And it was like, pretty much saved my month.
- 8:39And it was insane.
- 8:40And I don't know, it's, it's not been that good, but I'm still in the green.
- 8:45But today, well, I don't know.
- 8:47As long as I can, if I can win one of these last three, that wouldn't be winning.
- 8:51But I'll live.
- 8:52What do you have right now?
- 8:54At time of recording.
- 8:55I, the games that are live.
- 8:57Blue Jays, Brewers over nine or over 10.
- 9:02They're at three and the fifth.
- 9:04That's not good.
- 9:07And then I've got Philly's Mets under nine.
- 9:12They are at, I think there are five.
- 9:16I don't remember what ending.
- 9:18There are five in the sixth.
- 9:20So, and I got Mariners money a lot later tonight.
- 9:25The Yankees.
- 9:27I saw a lot of people were on the Mariners today.
- 9:31Yankees picture that's going on.
- 9:33It isn't very good.
- 9:34Yeah.
- 9:35I don't like that.
- 9:36Because I had the Rangers minus one and a half.
- 9:38A noon game today.
- 9:40And then I had something else raise.
- 9:44Oh, that ended up winning.
- 9:45That was a sweat though.
- 9:46But I had Rangers minus one and a half, which I saw on various social media is that a lot
- 9:51of people were on and then they lost out.
- 9:54Right?
- 9:55As soon as I saw, like I tweeted that and I was going through Twitter and the next like
- 9:5930 minutes I saw like four people being like Rangers minus one and a half.
- 10:04Damn.
- 10:05I kind of wanted to just cash out.
- 10:09But I ain't about that life.
- 10:13Speaking of cashing out, I cashed out of my Celtics outright winner of the NBA championship
- 10:21bet.
- 10:22When did you do that?
- 10:23Well, when they were down 3-1.
- 10:28Oh.
- 10:29Oh.
- 10:30Yeah.
- 10:31So you didn't even, you probably could have made money.
- 10:37Well, like I still had to go through another round.
- 10:40Yeah, but if you waited two more games, you probably could have.
- 10:43Yeah, I probably could have made more money and cashed it out.
- 10:47But I wouldn't have.
- 10:50So you got all of the back?
- 10:52I got all of the back.
- 10:53So it's like, and like a little bit of change.
- 10:55Okay.
- 10:56So you came out ahead?
- 10:57Yeah, I came out ahead while we talked.
- 10:59Yeah.
- 11:00Yeah, that's future relations on your future.
- 11:02Thank you.
- 11:03Thank you.
- 11:04That's a great future.
- 11:05Thank you.
- 11:06So I never cash out really, but I was like, I gotta, I gotta get my money back when it's
- 11:13either cash out or hope history happens.
- 11:16Yeah.
- 11:17I guess I get it then.
- 11:19Yeah.
- 11:20I was kind of hoping history, I had already done it, but I was like, I was still kind
- 11:25of like, I hope they can do it.
- 11:27Like, you know, I kind of was, but I was like, this heat team is so fun to watch.
- 11:34You know, like, like an eight seed, just first play in team to ever make the NBA finals.
- 11:41Dog in them, like Jimmy G buckets.
- 11:46It's just like, it's incredible.
- 11:48I was thinking that too.
- 11:50Like something like I wanted to sell, I wanted to see history, but I like the heat and also
- 11:54Boston doesn't deserve another just like coming back from the dead moment.
- 11:59Yeah.
- 12:00They already have to like, fuck them.
- 12:02If it was like the spurs or fucking like any other team, yeah, I've been rooting for
- 12:06him.
- 12:07I want to, I want to hold on to that thought, but I want to see how will's doing first.
- 12:11Okay, will.
- 12:12How are you doing?
- 12:13So I'm doing pretty okay.
- 12:14Good.
- 12:15I haven't really been betting all that much.
- 12:16Nothing new on that front.
- 12:20My girl had foot surgery last week.
- 12:23So that's kind of what I've been pretty busy on.
- 12:27So I haven't had a lot of time, but I have been keeping up with the games.
- 12:32I did catch like the last quarter of game seven of the Celtics heat and, you know, I
- 12:38turned it on and it was, it's like, I didn't need to turn it on.
- 12:42Now you did.
- 12:43That game sucked, man.
- 12:44I did play.
- 12:45I played my first NBA game in a while.
- 12:47I've watched like tip off to final whistle and it's sucked.
- 12:51And there's like the Celtics wanting like a little bit of run in the third quarter like
- 12:57hey, but other than that, but he just dominated.
- 13:00I headed on in the background while I was doing stuff in my room, but like, I was just
- 13:06like, I would just like glance at it and I'd be like, Oh, well, the heat are just dominating
- 13:10And it's just like they're up by 20.
- 13:12And it kind of stayed that way for a while.
- 13:15I do want to get a ring without LeBron and Wade.
- 13:18So I am rooting for that.
- 13:21I'm not going to win, but I am rooting for the heat.
- 13:23Yeah.
- 13:23And so yeah, just watching, I was like,
- 13:27I wanted the heat to win, but I won like some theatrics.
- 13:31Like that was the lamest Scott Foster-officiated game
- 13:35I've ever seen.
- 13:36And they called him in to Tony Brothers.
- 13:39Yeah.
- 13:40They called both of them in.
- 13:41They're like, all right.
- 13:42Yeah, the NBA was like.
- 13:42Let's get some magic.
- 13:43They're like, nope, he's just going to win by like 20.
- 13:45Let's rig it.
- 13:46Yeah.
- 13:47The NBA literally said, let's rig it.
- 13:49Yeah.
- 13:50And the heat said, nah.
- 13:52Yeah.
- 13:53I was thinking about like taking the Celtics just
- 13:58because of that.
- 13:59And then I was like, this is too trappy.
- 14:02I'm just going to, I'm not going to be able to watch most
- 14:05of it anyway.
- 14:06I'm just going to stay away.
- 14:08Yeah.
- 14:08That was like one of the first games, just any game
- 14:14that I've watched without having any money on it.
- 14:18Like just watches a fan.
- 14:19Yeah.
- 14:20Well, like you were like, you were hoping for,
- 14:22history was going to be made either way.
- 14:24So like, you didn't really need that.
- 14:26But I don't know.
- 14:27I want to, like I was sitting there.
- 14:28I was like, I don't have any money on this game.
- 14:30And I'm like into it.
- 14:31Yeah.
- 14:32And then like, I'm out of it.
- 14:34Yeah.
- 14:34And then I was like, all right.
- 14:36I'm going to put my phone in the background.
- 14:39See what solid tears up to.
- 14:42A little bit jeweled actually.
- 14:46I was going to say something about, dang it.
- 14:52What was I going to say?
- 14:55It's twice.
- 14:56Yeah, I know.
- 14:57It'll come to me.
- 14:58Yeah.
- 14:59I'm 47 years old.
- 15:01What do you expect?
- 15:03Ever since your 58th birthday.
- 15:06So I haven't been the same.
- 15:07All right.
- 15:07Well, I think that this is a perfect time
- 15:10to transition into what we think about this NBA finals.
- 15:15So let's see.
- 15:17Do you think that the Denver Nuggets,
- 15:21like the X factor for them, is the altitude?
- 15:27That's a good question.
- 15:29Yes.
- 15:30And a not serious answer.
- 15:32Yes, 100%.
- 15:33OK.
- 15:33And then I was going to give a stupid,
- 15:35I was going to make a stupid joke,
- 15:36but I don't want to do it anymore.
- 15:38Please.
- 15:38I don't want to do it.
- 15:39All right.
- 15:40I'll do it.
- 15:41I was going to say it was Nicola Jokic's altitude,
- 15:47because he's got like a foot on every player on the heat roster.
- 15:50Yeah, he's tall.
- 15:53Their biggest player is Bam, and he's not big.
- 15:57He's tall.
- 15:59But he's not big.
- 16:00But he's not big.
- 16:01So not a big guy.
- 16:03I mean, Jokic might have a triple double every night.
- 16:07Yikes.
- 16:09Who's going to stop it?
- 16:11Who's going to stop it?
- 16:12Yeah.
- 16:13And if you put like three guys on,
- 16:15they just kick it out to Murray or Porter Jr.
- 16:19or Gordon, who's suddenly come alive.
- 16:22I mean, I'm rooting for the heat, but damn.
- 16:26I'm rooting for the Nuggets.
- 16:28Like, I don't.
- 16:30Like, finals matchups are just so weird, like championship
- 16:34matchups, like sometimes it's the obvious choice,
- 16:39and sometimes it isn't.
- 16:41And it's just sometimes it's incredibly hard
- 16:44to get a read on it.
- 16:45But I will not be.
- 16:47Oh, god, sorry.
- 16:47It's like you're done.
- 16:48That factor of like they're playing in Denver,
- 16:52the altitude is going to have an effect, not like a huge of what?
- 16:58No, no, continue.
- 16:59Continue your point.
- 17:00And then I want to counter.
- 17:01OK.
- 17:05The altitude is it's not it's not the X factor.
- 17:08That was more of a joke.
- 17:09But I think it definitely is a factor.
- 17:13It's it's just you're right.
- 17:17Who is going to stop him?
- 17:19They don't have like Jimmy.
- 17:21He's not great.
- 17:23He's going to run him over.
- 17:24Yeah, it's like.
- 17:25I don't who who can stop nobody.
- 17:31Like they just like they have to pray that he has a bad night.
- 17:36Even if he has a bad night, that's a double double.
- 17:39Yeah, a bad night is double.
- 17:41Oh, yeah.
- 17:42OK.
- 17:46You said the altitude being the X factor.
- 17:49What about the heat?
- 17:50Not that basketball team, the physical heat in Miami.
- 17:54It's probably really hot.
- 17:54It's so hot there.
- 17:56Yeah, they play in Denver.
- 17:57They're not used to that.
- 18:00Just saying from sunshine.
- 18:01So sunshine state.
- 18:03It's crazy.
- 18:05Just putting on my Mike Greenberg hat here.
- 18:07Like it's hot there.
- 18:09They play inside.
- 18:11It's hot.
- 18:13Doesn't matter.
- 18:13Walking around outside talk.
- 18:15Heat travels.
- 18:17Travels.
- 18:18Yeah, it travels.
- 18:21You spread the heat spread every road game.
- 18:22And just heat travels.
- 18:26They're bringing that Miami sun with them.
- 18:29All right.
- 18:30What do we what are your predictions for the series?
- 18:33Blank.
- 18:33I assume you're going nuggets.
- 18:34Nuggets and how many games?
- 18:36Six.
- 18:37Six.
- 18:37I feel like plus 750 on the action 24 seven sportsbook.
- 18:41I looked it up earlier.
- 18:43Wow.
- 18:43I think it's the best value.
- 18:46What is what's like the most favorite one?
- 18:52Nuggets four and one.
- 18:53Yeah, nuggets and five plus 240.
- 18:57That's a big jump.
- 18:58Yeah.
- 18:59From one game.
- 19:01The second most is nuggets and seven.
- 19:04Surprisingly, three to five.
- 19:06Yeah, that's kind of why.
- 19:07Makes no sense.
- 19:08But in a way, it does make sense.
- 19:10Because it's like they're going to win in five.
- 19:13Or it's like the heat.
- 19:13I mean, they got the dog in them.
- 19:15Yeah.
- 19:15Yeah.
- 19:16It's just you can't just count out the heat.
- 19:21Just because they're just playing so well
- 19:23and they're coached so well.
- 19:25Like it's like they're going to find.
- 19:28That's why I said six.
- 19:29I think six is a good.
- 19:30I think two wins for the heat is adequate.
- 19:33I think it's great.
- 19:34I think you made strides.
- 19:36And either way, the heat are going
- 19:39to come out as one of the top free agency markets this summer.
- 19:44They have to.
- 19:45They have to like spend a shit ton of money.
- 19:47Well, I can't imagine they're paying anybody that much money.
- 19:49It's like Jimmy and Bam and like Kevin
- 19:53loves getting like $4 million.
- 19:55Speaking of Kevin Love.
- 19:57Addicted to finals.
- 19:58Addicted to finals.
- 20:00Have you seen that?
- 20:01Yeah, I saw that.
- 20:02Addicted.
- 20:03Addicted.
- 20:04Posted by the action 24 7 sportsbook on Instagram.
- 20:08Five playoffs appearances.
- 20:12Five finals appearances.
- 20:15Every time this man has been in the playoffs,
- 20:17he has been to the finals.
- 20:19He's got.
- 20:20He's got one ring.
- 20:21One ring?
- 20:22Yeah.
- 20:23The Cavs only one one.
- 20:25He won one with him.
- 20:29He was on that team the whole time.
- 20:31He was the last player from that.
- 20:32I'm pretty sure he only has one.
- 20:34I thought he had two.
- 20:35I thought the Cavs won two.
- 20:37I love.
- 20:38I don't even know.
- 20:40I just know there's like a six year.
- 20:41Yeah, I mean, they're all the same for.
- 20:43Yeah, it was just the Warriors and the Cavs.
- 20:47And so Kevin Love has won one championship in his career.
- 20:53Interesting.
- 20:55I thought they had one too with whatever.
- 20:58It's kind of wild.
- 20:59I agree.
- 21:01It's not only that.
- 21:02I mean, that was the Timberwolves and they were trash.
- 21:07Well, yeah, they're always trash.
- 21:09They never made the playoffs.
- 21:10Yeah.
- 21:10Yeah.
- 21:11If they would have made the playoffs.
- 21:12If they would have made the playoffs,
- 21:14they would have made the finals.
- 21:15Yeah.
- 21:16I mean, he is the catalyst.
- 21:19Spot the lie.
- 21:20He is the catalyst to his teams making the finals.
- 21:26He has to be.
- 21:27He's the common denominator.
- 21:29You can't argue with math.
- 21:33You'll lose that battle.
- 21:34You'll lose that battle 100 times out of 100.
- 21:37Kevin Love should be the highest paid free agent
- 21:40in this office.
- 21:41Yeah, just bring him in.
- 21:43Yeah, just bring him in.
- 21:44Just go get him.
- 21:46I'm just putting him at the end of the bench.
- 21:47Hey, he's on the team.
- 21:48We just got to make it in, man.
- 21:50And we're all the way.
- 21:52We are golden.
- 21:54We are guaranteed a final spot.
- 21:57And what you do with that spot is up to you.
- 21:59I love swinging Donis Haslam.
- 22:02I love that, man.
- 22:04Yeah.
- 22:04Why?
- 22:05Because he's just some old guy hanging around.
- 22:08He's like an old cute.
- 22:10That's just win a ring, man.
- 22:12He's spent his entire basketball career,
- 22:15has been played in the state of Florida.
- 22:18Yeah.
- 22:18He's from Florida.
- 22:19He went to Florida.
- 22:21And he played for the heat his entire career.
- 22:23He's played for the heat in his entire career?
- 22:24Yeah.
- 22:25Homeboy.
- 22:25So I go out with a ring.
- 22:28Well, he has a few.
- 22:29Hasn't he not played a minute or something?
- 22:33This season, he hasn't played a lot.
- 22:34He played game the.
- 22:36No, and his play in the playoffs, he hasn't played.
- 22:38Oh, probably not for a while.
- 22:39He hasn't played a minute.
- 22:40Oh, he's played.
- 22:41I don't think he's played in the playoffs for several years.
- 22:45I mean, not several, but a while.
- 22:48He's had five or six playoff appearances
- 22:52and hasn't played a single minute.
- 22:56Yeah, that wouldn't.
- 22:57Yeah, that sounds bad.
- 22:58That's crazy.
- 22:59He's an old man.
- 23:04But let's shift to the West.
- 23:06Well, I just want to say one thing.
- 23:08Before we stop talking about the finals.
- 23:11No, we're not.
- 23:12I have something else to say.
- 23:13I'm just going to say, game one, I'm taking over 2,
- 23:1519 and 1 half.
- 23:16Just because I think the only way that he can beat the Nuggets
- 23:19is to outscore them.
- 23:21Usually, if you score more points than the other opponent.
- 23:24Jackass.
- 23:24You know what I mean.
- 23:27You can't stop them.
- 23:28You only hope to contain them.
- 23:31I don't talk about whatever you want.
- 23:36You know you set me up.
- 23:37Yeah, whatever.
- 23:39I had to.
- 23:39I can't wait till you say something stupid.
- 23:41OK.
- 23:42OK.
- 23:44OK.
- 23:44Yes, you are.
- 23:45Anyway, I've taken over 2, 19.
- 23:46I have nothing but facts on this podcast.
- 23:51Anyway.
- 23:51Anyways, I'm sorry.
- 23:53No, you're not.
- 23:53Or you're not.
- 23:54Well, like.
- 23:56Where are you going to say?
- 24:00I saw a stat today that if the Nuggets win the finals,
- 24:08they'll be the first team not from California or Texas
- 24:13to win the NBA championship since 1979.
- 24:20Whoa.
- 24:23From the West?
- 24:23From the West.
- 24:24Yeah.
- 24:28You have to think.
- 24:29Yeah, that makes sense.
- 24:30You have to think.
- 24:31Half of the teams in the West are in California and Texas.
- 24:35I'll say the Suns have never won one.
- 24:37Suns don't have one.
- 24:39The Grizzlies don't.
- 24:42The Trail Blazers don't have one.
- 24:46At least not since.
- 24:47The Jazz don't.
- 24:48Well, no, they didn't win.
- 24:49Not since 1979.
- 24:50Because they played the Bulls.
- 24:51You've got to think.
- 24:52Who won in 79?
- 24:54It's funny enough, they're not even in the league anymore.
- 24:58Who is it?
- 24:59The Seattle SuperSonics.
- 25:00Wow.
- 25:01Wow.
- 25:03That's crazy.
- 25:03It's wild.
- 25:05So the Denver Nuggets could break a 42-year NBA streak.
- 25:10That's crazy.
- 25:12I have never thought of that.
- 25:14Yeah.
- 25:15Yeah.
- 25:15I mean, I know it's like a specific stat.
- 25:17So those 42 years, the Lakers have 10.
- 25:21Right.
- 25:22The Warriors have four.
- 25:24Right.
- 25:27Mavericks have one.
- 25:29The Spurs have five.
- 25:30Spurs have five.
- 25:31Spurs have five.
- 25:33Clippers don't have any.
- 25:34Clippers don't have any.
- 25:38Sacramento has, they've none.
- 25:41Shit.
- 25:42They've none.
- 25:42Yeah.
- 25:43I was, I didn't know.
- 25:43I think that's it.
- 25:44I was like, maybe back in the 80s, maybe they had like.
- 25:46That math doesn't make sense.
- 25:48I mean, the East has already, I mean, been pretty stacked.
- 25:52Oh yeah, that's right.
- 25:53Because there's been 20, there's either 20 or 22
- 25:57championships from the West since that time.
- 26:01Yeah.
- 26:02In those 42 years.
- 26:04Yeah.
- 26:06That's a crazy stat.
- 26:07That's a crazy stat.
- 26:08But also you have to think you're only leaving out like four
- 26:12or five teams.
- 26:13Yeah.
- 26:16But Nuggets could be the first one.
- 26:18Houston.
- 26:19Oh, Houston.
- 26:20Correct.
- 26:21Oh yeah.
- 26:21They got one.
- 26:23I think that's it.
- 26:24I think they've got a couple.
- 26:25I think they got two.
- 26:27I think Houston has two.
- 26:29I know that they had one the off year that Jordan had.
- 26:33Yeah.
- 26:34That's when Elijah won, got his ring.
- 26:41And then Jordan repeated again.
- 26:44So I don't think, I think that's it.
- 26:48Yeah.
- 26:49That's a crazy stat.
- 26:52That is a crazy stat.
- 26:54So history will be made either way.
- 27:01And that's all you want.
- 27:04But Nuggets in six.
- 27:07Yeah.
- 27:07That's a pretty good bet, I think.
- 27:08Yeah.
- 27:09I think that's respectable enough to the heat.
- 27:12It's like the Nuggets aren't whomping them
- 27:15because the heat aren't going to get whomped.
- 27:18No.
- 27:18I don't think they're going to get whomped.
- 27:20They're a great team.
- 27:22They're a great coach team.
- 27:23Yeah.
- 27:24And yeah.
- 27:26Nuggets in six.
- 27:27Yeah.
- 27:28I think that's a good bet.
- 27:29That's a good bet.
- 27:30Plus 750.
- 27:31That's a great bet.
- 27:34Well, I guess that's the NBA finals.
- 27:35But do we have any strong opinions either way on the NHL
- 27:39finals?
- 27:40I mean, rooting for the Panthers.
- 27:42I really don't like this finals.
- 27:45I don't either.
- 27:45I mean, I'm going to watch it, I guess.
- 27:49It's just like, to me, I think everyone's
- 27:55going to be betting on the Panthers just because they
- 27:57are the underdog in this series.
- 28:00And they've only lost one game in the past two series,
- 28:08which is kind of wild.
- 28:11They've lost a total of five games.
- 28:13Yeah.
- 28:14That's crazy.
- 28:15That is insane.
- 28:17It makes no sense.
- 28:18It makes no sense.
- 28:19It's incredible.
- 28:20No way.
- 28:22Yeah.
- 28:23That's right.
- 28:23Four games.
- 28:25They've lost four games.
- 28:27Yags, they swept.
- 28:28They swept.
- 28:29They lost one to the Leafs, and then they lost three
- 28:32to the Bruins.
- 28:33Yeah.
- 28:35Four games.
- 28:37Yeah.
- 28:37White hot.
- 28:39Yeah.
- 28:39They're super white lava hot.
- 28:41I would really like the Panthers to win, honestly,
- 28:43just because I know the Knights are good.
- 28:47I know they have a good team.
- 28:48I know they've made the playoffs.
- 28:52Is it five out of the six times?
- 28:55Yeah.
- 28:56It's up my mind.
- 28:57They're only missed once.
- 28:58They're a great team.
- 28:59They don't understand.
- 29:03The fans don't.
- 29:04They don't understand.
- 29:04Yeah.
- 29:05You fans don't understand the heartbreak.
- 29:09You don't understand it.
- 29:11I hate this so much.
- 29:13And it's like, yeah, you've lost.
- 29:15You haven't won a cup yet.
- 29:17Congratulations.
- 29:18President, go to the playoffs for like 10 years.
- 29:22I'm not even just press specific.
- 29:23Look at all these expansion teams, historically,
- 29:26like across sports up until Vegas have been dog shit
- 29:29for years.
- 29:32And now Vegas just gets to waltz in and cherry pick
- 29:35great players and go to.
- 29:37And now they're a hot market because they're good.
- 29:40And they get all these great players.
- 29:42I just not wait until they're bad, because it will happen.
- 29:44It happens.
- 29:45It will happen because they're going
- 29:47to get screwed on their cap eventually.
- 29:49It happens to every team.
- 29:51I cannot wait until they're terrible for five years.
- 29:54I want to see how big that market is.
- 29:56I mean, it's Vegas.
- 29:57And it's something to do in Vegas before you go gamble.
- 30:00So it'll always be a decent market.
- 30:03People will always be there.
- 30:04Yeah.
- 30:05But I just can't wait.
- 30:07It's a great travel destination.
- 30:09I mean, yeah.
- 30:10It's like right on the strip.
- 30:13Yeah.
- 30:14It's just something to do because the games are over at like 10.
- 30:17And then you just go out.
- 30:19I think it's perfect.
- 30:21Hold on.
- 30:21Just switching just for a brief moment.
- 30:24Did you all see the projected mock-ups for the new A's
- 30:28stadium in Vegas?
- 30:30Oh.
- 30:30That looks sick.
- 30:32It's got like the MGM grand in the background.
- 30:34They're tearing down the, or they're projected.
- 30:39I don't think the deal is done yet.
- 30:41I think that they are.
- 30:42They bought that land.
- 30:44Yeah.
- 30:44But they have not said like we are moving.
- 30:48Yeah.
- 30:51They've done everything to move.
- 30:52They're going to tear down the Tropicana
- 30:56and build it right across the street from like the Excalibur
- 31:00and like the MGM grand.
- 31:03Like behind the MGM grand?
- 31:04Yeah.
- 31:05Like you can see it like here.
- 31:07Oh wait.
- 31:07I got it right here.
- 31:08You can see it from like at least from the pictures
- 31:12they have made.
- 31:12Yeah.
- 31:13You can see it from Wowark.
- 31:15And we'll put the key.
- 31:16Put this on the screen.
- 31:17I can do that.
- 31:17OK.
- 31:18We'll put that on the screen too.
- 31:20It looks sick.
- 31:20I feel so bad for A's fans.
- 31:24Man, you can't.
- 31:26Another team from Oakland moving to Las Vegas.
- 31:29The Oakland went from four major sports teams to zero or?
- 31:34One, I guess.
- 31:35Well, three, I guess.
- 31:37Do you count Golden State?
- 31:38Yeah, because it was in Oakland.
- 31:40And it moved to San Francisco.
- 31:42Well, like isn't that like an hour or like 20 minutes away?
- 31:45It's just across the bay.
- 31:46But like it's still not in Oakland.
- 31:49It moved to another major market in San Francisco.
- 31:53Well, maybe Oakland needs to be like Detroit
- 31:55and get their shit together and come on up.
- 31:59I mean, I don't remember why the Raiders moved.
- 32:03I just assumed it was because the Davis family is crazy.
- 32:05I thought because they wanted a new stadium.
- 32:08And that's.
- 32:09Yeah.
- 32:10So yeah.
- 32:10And that's exactly why the A's are moving.
- 32:12So give.
- 32:14Fucking state is that hard to do.
- 32:17Like, you know, I mean, I'm no politician, but like shit, man.
- 32:22Well, I mean, I know it's Oakland.
- 32:24I'm going to say this, like if your city is not safe,
- 32:30people aren't going to want to go there to like.
- 32:34The Chicago, I mean, the White Sox
- 32:36do not draw huge crowds these days.
- 32:38But I mean, they're in the south side of Chicago.
- 32:41I understand that.
- 32:42That dangerous place in the country.
- 32:45But when you when you have a team like, like, well,
- 32:48especially with the NFL where you can just like,
- 32:51there's a mode in Madden where you can just be like,
- 32:54I want to move.
- 32:56You know, like the NFL is just like, yeah, you can move if you want.
- 33:01It's wild.
- 33:02I just I just feel bad for A's fans.
- 33:06Yeah, they've been there for so long.
- 33:08I like their team and they're going to.
- 33:10I think the A's have to like their deal with that stadium.
- 33:14It's through 2027.
- 33:17So they're like, if they move, it ain't happening for obviously
- 33:19they have to build the stadium, but they
- 33:21haven't happened for a long time.
- 33:24And the team is arguably they are on pace
- 33:29to be the worst team in the history of baseball.
- 33:33Do you know how long baseball has been played?
- 33:36Like a million years.
- 33:37It's the fucking 1800s.
- 33:39They could be the worst team to ever play before the major
- 33:43baseball.
- 33:43Yes.
- 33:44People had to ride horses to baseball games.
- 33:49That's crazy to me.
- 33:50But yeah, that's crazy when you think about it.
- 33:52They just took two or three from the from the Braves.
- 33:55So that's wild.
- 33:58I know that Oakland used to have a hockey team.
- 34:01The golden seals or whatever.
- 34:03Golden state seals.
- 34:06They had white skates.
- 34:08That's baller.
- 34:10It should be different.
- 34:11Some people liked it.
- 34:12Some people liked it.
- 34:13It probably looked like shit, but try something different.
- 34:16I like it.
- 34:17I like it.
- 34:17It looks OK.
- 34:19So let's get back on topic with the NHL.
- 34:23Right.
- 34:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 34:25How do we get to that?
- 34:27Who knows, man.
- 34:27So Vegas.
- 34:28Vegas here.
- 34:29Right, right, right, right, Vegas.
- 34:31I think Vegas has taken this series.
- 34:35I mean, yeah, probably.
- 34:38And I don't know, man.
- 34:39Can you pull up the consmyth trophy odds?
- 34:42I know Bob's a favorite.
- 34:43Yeah, because if Florida wins, it's because of Bob.
- 34:47Oh, yeah.
- 34:48And that's that.
- 34:51I think there's some value here.
- 34:53I think either way, either way, you're going to swing.
- 34:57Bob is the favorite at plus 1 to 8, 5.
- 35:01Second favorite, Matthew Chuck at plus 300.
- 35:04And then Jack Hock, all 375.
- 35:07What's the one after that, Jonathan Marsha show?
- 35:09Marsha show, why re-pronounce it, 600.
- 35:14So it's kind of weird to me that, well, it's not weird,
- 35:19but it's also kind of weird that Vegas is favored in this series.
- 35:24Yeah.
- 35:24Yeah.
- 35:25But the consmyth odds have two Florida players
- 35:29as their top picks.
- 35:32Yeah.
- 35:32I get it because if you're talking about MVP of their team,
- 35:39like Vegas is more deep.
- 35:43They have a lot of good players.
- 35:45Whereas like Bob is definitely the best player that Florida has.
- 35:52And he's definitely.
- 35:53He's only lost one game.
- 35:54Right.
- 35:57Right.
- 35:58So he's definitely the MVP of his team.
- 36:01Yeah.
- 36:02So if they win, he will probably get it.
- 36:05Chris, do you mind looking at the last time a goalie won the consmyth?
- 36:10I'm going to guess that it was Jonathan Quick.
- 36:14I assume that's not a guess.
- 36:15It's like Martin Burgo.
- 36:18You don't think it's like Corey Crawford?
- 36:21No.
- 36:21I don't think it's Corey Crawford.
- 36:25Nate, do you think it was Vasilezki?
- 36:29No.
- 36:29No.
- 36:30Well, he was.
- 36:32No.
- 36:32But they had so many scores on that team.
- 36:35No, I guess.
- 36:35I don't think so.
- 36:38They never needed.
- 36:41The Tampa Bay Lightning never needed a good goal tender.
- 36:45They just had one.
- 36:46Yeah.
- 36:47Oh.
- 36:49Who said Vasilezki?
- 36:50Me.
- 36:51Oh.
- 36:51All right.
- 36:512021.
- 36:52Shit.
- 36:53Well, he was like two years ago.
- 36:54Before that, it was Jonathan Quick, 2012.
- 36:57Damn.
- 36:57But then before that, Justin Thomas.
- 37:01Oh, Justin Thomas.
- 37:02That is first I've read.
- 37:03I exit out of that.
- 37:04Tim Thomas?
- 37:05Tim Thomas.
- 37:05Justin.
- 37:06The hell's Justin Thomas?
- 37:07That's not even a person.
- 37:08That sounds like a golfer.
- 37:09It is.
- 37:10Yeah.
- 37:12No, I said Justin Thomas.
- 37:13Probably as a hot wife.
- 37:15Probably.
- 37:16I mean, all athletes do.
- 37:17Yeah.
- 37:18Oh, golfers do.
- 37:20Oh, all athletes do in general.
- 37:21But particularly golfers.
- 37:24What do you think, Chris?
- 37:26Ah, I'm rooting for the Panthers.
- 37:29I like Bob to win the consmith because I want the Panthers
- 37:33to win.
- 37:34And if they do win, like you said,
- 37:35it will be almost 100% because of him.
- 37:39I just don't know how you can say confidently
- 37:44Vegas all the way.
- 37:46I'm not saying you did.
- 37:47I'm just saying, like, if you are, like, I don't know how
- 37:50anybody can say that.
- 37:52You said Flores lost one fucking game.
- 37:55I think that if I think that this is going
- 37:59to be a pretty close series, honestly, it could go to seven.
- 38:05At least I hope it does.
- 38:06That's really what I want because I'm, like,
- 38:09I would be happy for the Panthers if they win.
- 38:11I could care.
- 38:12Like, at the end of the day, I don't care.
- 38:14But I will be pissed if Vegas wins.
- 38:16Yeah.
- 38:17Like, I will be.
- 38:19Yeah.
- 38:20Like, I don't want to see Vegas win.
- 38:22But I don't want to see Florida win either.
- 38:24But I would prefer Florida.
- 38:25Panthers.
- 38:26This is my reaction for if Florida wins.
- 38:29Good for them.
- 38:30If Vegas wins.
- 38:32Motherfucker.
- 38:32Yes.
- 38:33Like, that's how I am.
- 38:35Like, I kind of want Florida to win just for that fact,
- 38:39just so I don't feel like shit.
- 38:41Also, I do want Florida to win.
- 38:44Like, I don't know.
- 38:45I like that team.
- 38:46Yeah.
- 38:47I like the scrappiness.
- 38:48It reminds me of better times.
- 38:52Panthers in 7 is plus 550 on the Action 24-7 Sportsbook.
- 38:56And that is the what highest?
- 38:59Hold on.
- 39:00One, two, three.
- 39:02Tired for fourth with Vegas in 5.
- 39:05Oh.
- 39:07OK.
- 39:08Low.
- 39:09Lowest?
- 39:09The best is?
- 39:10It's probably Florida 4-0.
- 39:12What?
- 39:13Florida?
- 39:14That's the second highest.
- 39:17What?
- 39:18Florida 4-0 is the second?
- 39:19Vegas in 7 is plus 400.
- 39:22And then Vegas in 6 is 475.
- 39:26Or excuse me, Panthers in 6 is 450.
- 39:29Vegas in 6 is 475.
- 39:31These odds are wild.
- 39:34Yeah.
- 39:35They don't make any sense.
- 39:37I mean, no.
- 39:38Yeah.
- 39:39I mean, that is kind of wild.
- 39:43Because the heat to sweep the nuggets is like plus 2,900
- 39:48or something.
- 39:49Well, they're also like plus 300 to win the series.
- 39:53Florida's plus like 110.
- 39:54Yeah, that's true.
- 39:56Florida to sweep is plus 1,300.
- 39:58That would be insane.
- 40:00I mean, nobody's going to sweep.
- 40:02And then Vegas to sweep is plus 1,100.
- 40:08Neither of those are going to happen.
- 40:12I just hope we go 7, honestly.
- 40:14Yeah.
- 40:14Yeah.
- 40:15I do too.
- 40:16It'd be really entertaining.
- 40:17It's just like Vegas is just so deep.
- 40:19And they kind of have this goalie that just makes the save.
- 40:27You know?
- 40:27It's Aiden Hill guy.
- 40:29Yeah.
- 40:29Who?
- 40:30The fourth goalie.
- 40:31And if he goes now with injury, you know who's behind him?
- 40:35I do not.
- 40:36Jonathan Quick.
- 40:37Oh, yeah, it is.
- 40:38God.
- 40:41You know?
- 40:41Conn, Spythe, winner.
- 40:43Jonathan Quick.
- 40:45So never rooting for injury, but it'd be cool to see him play.
- 40:50Yeah, that would be pretty cool.
- 40:52But I mean, that's basically my thoughts on the series.
- 40:58All right, so that's going to be it for our previews
- 41:02for the final series.
- 41:05So we're going to throw it to this new segment we got.
- 41:10I'm not sure really what to call it,
- 41:13but I'm going to call it Will Finds Old Sports
- 41:16Articles on the internet, and we talk about them.
- 41:19What are you going to do, Will?
- 41:22I found this old article from 2011 from Bleacher Report
- 41:26about the top 30 arguments and debates in sports.
- 41:30Here's number 16.
- 41:33Is Giselle good for Tom?
- 41:39I don't think Tom's good for her.
- 41:42Yeah, if we've learned anything, it's that.
- 41:46He's married to the game.
- 41:48Yes.
- 41:49Not his wife.
- 41:50You could argue that she was good for him.
- 41:54Yeah, you could.
- 41:55How many rings does he have without her?
- 41:57Well, he's got one less because he got divorced.
- 42:01Damn.
- 42:01But he doesn't have any.
- 42:03He got divorced and played the worst season of his career.
- 42:06Yeah, like his wedding ring.
- 42:08Oh, ha ha ha.
- 42:14You could say Tom divorced from the game.
- 42:20No.
- 42:20OK, I feel like.
- 42:23Yeah, that was bad.
- 42:24You could.
- 42:24I wouldn't.
- 42:25But yeah.
- 42:26Yeah.
- 42:28This is from 2011.
- 42:29This is 12 years ago.
- 42:31And people actually cared about this.
- 42:32It was kind of wild.
- 42:34Then I got another one.
- 42:35Oh, good for Tom.
- 42:38Manning Brady or none of the above.
- 42:40This is from 2011.
- 42:41This is 12 years ago.
- 42:43Patrick Mahomes was not even born yet.
- 42:49Josh Allen was in his father's nuts.
- 42:54Joe Burrow wasn't even a thought.
- 43:01I guess we don't really need to talk about that one.
- 43:04I mean, those are like the three top quarterbacks
- 43:07full time, at least in passing yards.
- 43:10Yeah.
- 43:12But like since 2011, how many Super Bowls
- 43:16has he had since 2011?
- 43:18Two.
- 43:18Manning Brady.
- 43:19Brady, that's what I meant to say.
- 43:21I think he's got four.
- 43:23Yeah?
- 43:25Yeah, sure.
- 43:26I don't feel like researching.
- 43:28Yeah, probably four.
- 43:29Yeah.
- 43:30All right.
- 43:33At least three.
- 43:36Yeah.
- 43:38He's been, he's lost a few as well.
- 43:42He's lost, I mean, he's lost three, hasn't he?
- 43:46Yeah.
- 43:47Two to Eli, one to Nick Foles.
- 43:49Yeah.
- 43:50Since 2011?
- 43:52Since.
- 43:52Yeah, actually.
- 43:53Yeah.
- 43:56OK, there we go.
- 43:58Oh, wait, no, one of them was in like 2008, wasn't it?
- 44:01Who's that?
- 44:03Maybe.
- 44:04I don't know.
- 44:05We could move on.
- 44:06We could move on.
- 44:07It's an animal.
- 44:08Pretend like I know.
- 44:10Should steroid users be in the Hall of Fame?
- 44:12Yes.
- 44:14Yeah.
- 44:15If you, yes, but if you do that, yes, but Pete Rosen.
- 44:20Yeah.
- 44:20Did you steal it?
- 44:21Nobody gambled.
- 44:23That's my only stipulation.
- 44:24The all time hitter of all time.
- 44:26I don't give a fuck if you put Barry Bonson.
- 44:28I don't like it, but whatever.
- 44:30But how can you put him in above the guy who
- 44:34has the most hits of all time?
- 44:36Who all he did was bet on his team.
- 44:38Listen, steroids made baseball much more interesting.
- 44:41Yeah, it saved baseball.
- 44:43It saved baseball.
- 44:44So like, I don't care.
- 44:46Yeah, sure.
- 44:46I'm done really arguing about it.
- 44:48Like, Barry Bons is, I feel like an outlier,
- 44:52because he had a Hall of Fame career
- 44:54before he started doing steroids.
- 44:56And then it was really guys like Mark McGuire and players
- 45:01like that who you're like, eh, well, but honestly, yeah, sure.
- 45:06But put Pete in.
- 45:09Absolutely.
- 45:09Put Pete in.
- 45:10I just hate it.
- 45:11I mean, he's going to die soon.
- 45:12And then the year he dies, they're going to put him in.
- 45:15And it's going to suck.
- 45:16Because he won't get to see it?
- 45:18Well, he's banned for life.
- 45:19So they're just waiting on him to die to put him in.
- 45:22Oh, his life.
- 45:25Yeah, not everyone's life.
- 45:28He's not banned for eternity.
- 45:31He's banned for life.
- 45:33His life.
- 45:39Oh, his life.
- 45:40Oh, yes.
- 45:45Some people didn't know what that meant.
- 45:47Well, sure.
- 45:48Yeah.
- 45:50Well, that's going to be it from the article
- 45:52of the 21st.
- 45:52We did two of those.
- 45:55Well, all the others are, I don't know,
- 45:57still kind of sort of relevant.
- 46:02I mean, and it's just like bullshit, regular ass sports
- 46:08debates.
- 46:09All right, well, that's going to be it for the ancient sports
- 46:14debates from 12 years ago.
- 46:16So I'm going to throw it to Chris's USFL gambling corner.
- 46:21How did you do last week?
- 46:24Two and two again.
- 46:25OK, not terrible.
- 46:28No, that's just three weeks in a row, I think,
- 46:32I've gone two and two.
- 46:35It's fine.
- 46:36We'll take it.
- 46:36It's slow, because I think two of those three weeks,
- 46:39I won my first two on Saturday and lost two on Sunday.
- 46:44So it doesn't feel like I'm two and two.
- 46:46Yeah.
- 46:47But you know.
- 46:48It feels like you're two and oh, and then you went oh and two.
- 46:50Yes, it doesn't feel like.
- 46:51Yeah.
- 46:52But you know, we're here, we're back.
- 46:55Of course.
- 46:56Chris's USFL gambling corner.
- 47:00We'll start out Saturday.
- 47:03Houston gamblers taking on the Pittsburgh Mollers.
- 47:07I still, the Pittsburgh Mollers were trash.
- 47:09They just are.
- 47:10I bet I get some last week.
- 47:12It worked out, stars won.
- 47:13It's a little bit closer than I thought it'd be.
- 47:15But I'm going to take gamblers minus three here.
- 47:17I think they won them.
- 47:20These gamblers are actually good.
- 47:21Next game we got the Philadelphia Stars
- 47:24and the Birmingham Stallions.
- 47:26Two good offenses.
- 47:29Birmingham's been lining up all year.
- 47:31Philly has, surprisingly, I think,
- 47:34two weeks in a row scored 30 points.
- 47:36Don't quote me on that.
- 47:37But they scored 37 last week, I know.
- 47:39So I'll take over 46.
- 47:42Just see some points.
- 47:46Then we got Memphis Showboats, New Jersey Generals.
- 47:50Generals started out 2-0.
- 47:51They have lost four straight.
- 47:53Coldest team in the U.S.FL.
- 47:57So give me Memphis plus two.
- 47:59Might sprinkle some Moneyline.
- 48:01Actually, script, Memphis Moneyline.
- 48:02I think Memphis is kind of climbing, too, now.
- 48:05They won last week, because I bet against them.
- 48:08So yeah, they've won two or three in a row.
- 48:12They started out terrible.
- 48:16They've won a couple in a row.
- 48:17New Jersey, I'm convinced, which is not good.
- 48:19So Showboats, Moneyline.
- 48:21Screw the spread.
- 48:22Give me the Moneyline.
- 48:24And then we got Breakersmoss, 3 and 1 half.
- 48:27Last time, I bet on these guys, because they just
- 48:31screw me every time.
- 48:32But ah, something about it this week.
- 48:37Oh, they are playing the Michigan Panthers.
- 48:42Mainly, excuse me, going back to last year,
- 48:44the Michigan Panthers saw.
- 48:46And from what I've seen from this year, they still suck.
- 48:50So Breakersmoss, 3 and 1 half.
- 48:52If they lose, if they do not cover this week,
- 48:55they're dead to me.
- 48:56I will not bet on them the rest of the season,
- 48:58until I want to.
- 49:01Until I say it's OK.
- 49:03So until they play a worse team.
- 49:05I just pray to God we can go at least go 3 and 1 this week.
- 49:10Yeah, and we will.
- 49:12Tired of this 2 and 2 bullshit.
- 49:13I think we will.
- 49:14We will.
- 49:15Yeah, why not?
- 49:15You know?
- 49:16So have you watched some of the USFL this past week?
- 49:19I watched most of the Philly Birmingham.
- 49:23No, Philly, whoever the hell they played last week.
- 49:28That was a pretty good game.
- 49:30It's entertaining.
- 49:32It's not as entertaining as the XFL.
- 49:34The XFL rocked.
- 49:35But I enjoy it.
- 49:37A couple weeks ago, I'm having three weeks going out,
- 49:40I watched the Showboats game.
- 49:42And they had, I talked about on the show,
- 49:44had a 109 yard kick return, or kick 6 return, and also learned.
- 49:50Have you guys seen Invincible?
- 49:52No.
- 49:52Or at least no.
- 49:54Oh, is it Bruce Willis being invincible?
- 49:55We talked about this last week.
- 49:56It's not Wahlberg.
- 49:58No, we talked about this last week.
- 49:59We're thinking about him breakable, by the way.
- 50:02Synonyms, kind of.
- 50:06They kind of are.
- 50:07I thought he was invisible.
- 50:08OK, Jesus.
- 50:11But Vince, did we talk about it?
- 50:13We talked about this last week.
- 50:14Yes, we did.
- 50:15Oh, I don't remember talking about that.
- 50:16OK, well, yeah.
- 50:17Well, it was my birthday last week.
- 50:19We were going to drum.
- 50:20Yeah.
- 50:20Yeah.
- 50:21Yeah.
- 50:23Was that off camera?
- 50:25Yeah.
- 50:26I don't remember.
- 50:27I didn't remember.
- 50:28I was last week.
- 50:29I thought it was like two weeks ago, if I'm being honest,
- 50:31but whatever.
- 50:34Yeah, USFL gambling.
- 50:35It's a college kid.
- 50:36Yeah, it's wild.
- 50:36Yeah.
- 50:38They just said.
- 50:39Invincible, too.
- 50:40They just said Vinnie Papal.
- 50:41And he had some wild touch on.
- 50:42They said Vinnie.
- 50:43I was like, there's no way they're not related.
- 50:47It like at least like.
- 50:48Like is nephew or something.
- 50:49Yeah.
- 50:53Is nephew twice removed.
- 50:54I was like, if you're just named after Vince Papali,
- 50:58it's kind of weird.
- 51:00Unless you're like his personal friend.
- 51:01Yeah.
- 51:02Why would you name your child?
- 51:03It's a god son.
- 51:04You're just a diehard Eagles fan.
- 51:05It's like, hey, this guy, he was awesome on special teams
- 51:09for like two years.
- 51:14But yeah, that's.
- 51:15Well, Chris, I think we're going to go.
- 51:16I think you're going to go three and one, at least.
- 51:19I think you're going to go four and 0.
- 51:20Thanks.
- 51:22Let's set the bar reasonable, though.
- 51:24Let's go three and one.
- 51:26Yeah, like the nuggets in six, I think it's reasonable.
- 51:29Yeah, it's reasonable.
- 51:30Someone's going to get hot and take one from you.
- 51:32Yeah.
- 51:33Well, you can do.
- 51:33It's OK.
- 51:34It happens.
- 51:35Yeah, it does happen.
- 51:36If you had to have a losing week, knock on wood.
- 51:38So yeah, that's guy.
- 51:40I think my worst week was two, one and one.
- 51:43Not a losing week.
- 51:44That's even in my book.
- 51:45Yeah, that's as even as you can get, I'd say.
- 51:49So yeah, right on USFL.
- 51:51Well, that's going to be it for us this week.
- 51:53Thank you so much for listening and watching.
- 51:56We really appreciate it.
- 51:57Follow us on Twitter.
- 51:59Link is in the bio.
- 52:02Chris, Betts, baseball every day.
- 52:05I thought you were going to make me say something else.
- 52:08What?
- 52:09Chris Betts baseball every day.
- 52:11Every day.
- 52:12Sometimes against my better judgment.
- 52:14Responsibly, of course.
- 52:15Erd.
- 52:16I don't.
- 52:17I don't think I could ever get a grasp on it.
- 52:20So that's going to be it for us.
- 52:22Thank you so much.
- 52:24And there's three of us.
- 52:26Now let's make some money.
- 52:29Woo.
- 52:30Woo.
- 52:31Ay.
