0:08
Speaker 1: this militia. The three most interesting players this year in
0:14
Speaker 1: the most interesting league. So you know, obviously that's the NFL. Right,
0:18
Speaker 1: We're gonna be the three most interesting, not the best,
0:22
Speaker 1: the three most interesting, the most talked about, the headline
0:26
Speaker 1: type guys, who's it gonna be. I'm gonna get to
0:29
Speaker 1: that in just a minute, but I just want to
0:31
Speaker 1: say something stupid first. Okay, we always make time for
0:34
Speaker 1: stupidity here when I'm filling in for Big Ben Meller. So,
0:39
Speaker 1: Coop and Lorena are gonna be in Vegas here in
0:42
Speaker 1: about a week, right, it's gonna be the Ben Meller
0:44
Speaker 1: Meet and greet, and so I'm.
0:46
Speaker 3: Like, well, well you guys are here, we gotta have
0:48
Speaker 3: I think this time next week we will be pulling
0:50
Speaker 3: into Vegas.
0:50
Speaker 1: That's right. I'm like, we gotta have casino night one
0:53
Speaker 1: of these nights. You know, we got to play the
0:55
Speaker 1: electronic Ponies or craps or whatever. We gotta have casino night.
0:59
Speaker 3: Heck, gys, I know, are you gonna to the meet
1:00
Speaker 3: and greet on Saturday.
1:01
Speaker 1: I will I will check it out. Yeah yeah, so
1:04
Speaker 1: that'd be fun. And uh so this is the stupid part.
1:08
Speaker 1: You know what I've always want me to do? No,
1:10
Speaker 1: no, no no, I've always wanted to do this. I swear
1:12
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it at one point in my
1:14
Speaker 1: life because I'm just joking around with the Loraina, like
1:18
Speaker 1: we should do a bond casino night, like we're wearing
1:22
Speaker 1: suits and ties, evening gown, you know, high roller status dresses.
1:28
Speaker 1: That's what I want to do one time in my life. Okay,
1:31
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to a craps table. Would be
1:34
Speaker 1: pretty good, either craps, blackjack, something like that, and whatever
1:37
Speaker 1: the limit is, let's say it's pretty good. Let's like
1:41
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars, five thousand dollars something like that. I
1:44
Speaker 1: want to put more money than that down. I think
1:48
Speaker 1: I've told you this. I want to put like ten
1:50
Speaker 1: thousand dollars down at the five thousand dollars table. And
1:54
Speaker 1: I'm hoping, like, let's get back by. I'm hoping they're like, sir, sir,
1:58
Speaker 1: the limits five thousand, and I want, with a disgusted
2:02
Speaker 1: look on my face, to grab my chips and just
2:04
Speaker 1: go oh and then walk off like this.
2:07
Speaker 4: That's right.
2:08
Speaker 2: I remember talking about this. Yeah, And I walk up
2:11
Speaker 2: and I said, what would happen actually is the the
2:14
Speaker 2: dealer would call over the pit boss, and the pit
2:16
Speaker 2: boss would be like, okay, yeah, that's fine, I.
2:19
Speaker 1: Know right, or it just wouldn't catch it, yead, go ahead.
2:22
Speaker 1: I'm just sweating bullets, like dude, this is too much.
2:25
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look at him like all it would
2:27
Speaker 1: it would probably backfire on me somehow.
2:29
Speaker 3: So I think the most I've played at an actual
2:31
Speaker 3: craps table was like three hundred down of my own cash.
2:34
Speaker 1: Did you really?
2:34
Speaker 2: Yeah?
2:35
Speaker 3: I always double, so last time I only did a hundred,
2:37
Speaker 3: and I did good and I got my back my hund.
2:39
Speaker 1: But you're saying you that's your steak, right, You're not
2:42
Speaker 1: saying you just I don't know you threw it on
2:44
Speaker 1: the field or the pass line. You didn't make it.
2:46
Speaker 3: Now I have all my little coin, my chippies on
2:48
Speaker 3: the side, and then I actually stand next to the
2:50
Speaker 3: dealer because the dealers love pretty ladies and they tell
2:53
Speaker 3: you where to put your coins, especially you know how
2:55
Speaker 3: I told you, I kind of stalk the tables first,
2:57
Speaker 3: so I'll find the table that has the nicest person
3:00
Speaker 3: who's like, oh, let me help you.
3:02
Speaker 1: See, and they help you out and then they help
3:04
Speaker 1: me nice.
3:06
Speaker 4: You know.
3:06
Speaker 1: My first time playing craps, it was me and one
3:09
Speaker 1: of my buddies, uh, Cody by guy back in Indiana.
3:13
Speaker 1: I knew him from you know, high school and all that.
3:15
Speaker 1: We went to the boat. Cody that yeah, Cody Pickens,
3:18
Speaker 1: my guy. That was the thing way back when to
3:20
Speaker 1: go to the casino from Indiana you would go to
3:22
Speaker 1: the boat in Michigan City and it literally was a boat.
3:26
Speaker 1: It had to be on water, like all this weird
3:28
Speaker 1: gambling stuff. But we went to the boat. We were
3:31
Speaker 1: playing craps. I had no idea how to play, no clue.
3:34
Speaker 1: I'm just learning on the fly.
3:35
Speaker 4: Uh huh.
3:36
Speaker 1: And they were like, yeah, you could go yo eleven.
3:39
Speaker 1: You know, They're like, you could you could like throw
3:41
Speaker 1: throw your money. I mean, you could bet your money.
3:43
Speaker 1: It's just a one time throw. It's if it's eleven,
3:46
Speaker 1: you'd like and then you get fifteen times your money. Basically,
3:49
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, let's try that Yo eleven, Yo eleven.
3:53
Speaker 1: Like I was crushing Yo. I had Lorena chips everywhere,
4:01
Speaker 1: you know, like the railing in front of you, there
4:03
Speaker 1: were just rows of chips. There were chips in my pockets.
4:07
Speaker 1: I had cargo short.
4:08
Speaker 3: We're gonna play on every sided.
4:10
Speaker 1: And you know what, I kept doing what you eleven
4:13
Speaker 1: eleven yo? And I lost everything I had won.
4:17
Speaker 4: You hit it.
4:18
Speaker 1: Oh No, that was the very first time away your
4:23
Speaker 1: wins you have. I know, I know, but I didn't.
4:25
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize. The only thing I was like,
4:27
Speaker 1: look at all these freaking chips. They were everywhere, and
4:30
Speaker 1: then they weren't, and then they were gone.
4:32
Speaker 3: You gotta take the chips back to your room that night.
4:34
Speaker 3: Don't even cash them in, take them back to your
4:35
Speaker 3: room and sleep on them.
4:36
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well no, for next time. I'll know for next time. Yeah, okay,
4:42
Speaker 1: So the three most interesting players in the NFL? Who
4:47
Speaker 1: are they going to be this year?
4:49
Speaker 4: Right?
4:49
Speaker 1: Like, I've been thinking about this and I want to
4:53
Speaker 1: put Shador Sanders in the top three because think about that.
4:57
Speaker 1: We're talking about driving conversation.
5:00
Speaker 4: Right.
5:01
Speaker 1: You put on sports radio, what's a common player that's
5:06
Speaker 1: talked about a lot, getting a lot of airtime? You
5:09
Speaker 1: turn on sports TV, you watch Sports Center, you watch.
5:13
Speaker 1: First things first, whatever what's Cowhard talking about on TV?
5:17
Speaker 1: Who are gonna be the three most interesting players? They
5:21
Speaker 1: get a lot of conversation, opinions go lower, all that
5:24
Speaker 1: type of stuff. I want to put Shador Sanders in
5:27
Speaker 1: the top three because the thinking is if he plays,
5:33
Speaker 1: If he plays, he's almost a lock to be in
5:36
Speaker 1: the top three. He's just gonna generate conversation. If he's good,
5:41
Speaker 1: you get the Shadueur backers, like what now, what do
5:43
Speaker 1: you have to say?
5:44
Speaker 4: Now?
5:44
Speaker 1: If he's bad, you get the Shaduur haters. Haha, we
5:47
Speaker 1: knew it badly, you know that type of stuff. It's
5:50
Speaker 1: just gonna be a back and forth the whole time.
5:54
Speaker 1: It's like the It's comparable to the Tebow phenomenon, right,
5:58
Speaker 1: Like t Baw wasn't good, but everybody had an opinion
6:01
Speaker 1: on him and he just drove conversations. So that's the thing.
6:07
Speaker 1: If Shador gets on the field, think about that for
6:10
Speaker 1: a second. If he gets on the field as the
6:14
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, just walk through that. Why wouldn't the Browns
6:18
Speaker 1: put him out there for some portion of the season.
6:22
Speaker 1: How's the season realistically gonna play out for them? They're
6:25
Speaker 1: gonna be losing games left and right. Why would you
6:29
Speaker 1: just stick with Flacco? Why would you be like, all right,
6:32
Speaker 1: enough of Flacco, Let's see what Kenny Pickett can do. Now,
6:35
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, why why are you
6:37
Speaker 1: wasting time on that? At some point you gotta throw
6:40
Speaker 1: a rookie out there, and it's gonna be Dylan Gabriel
6:43
Speaker 1: or Shadu or Sanders, it might be both. You know,
6:46
Speaker 1: it's possible one gets in there and gets hurt and
6:48
Speaker 1: then the other guy gets them playing time, or the
6:51
Speaker 1: first rookie gets in there totally ineffective, the other rookie
6:54
Speaker 1: gets playing time. So as long as Shadueur gets on
6:57
Speaker 1: the field, I think he's a cinch to be one
7:00
Speaker 1: of the top three most interesting players this year. But
7:03
Speaker 1: will he get on the field as the starter? It's
7:06
Speaker 1: not a lock. It's not a lock. I think he should.
7:11
Speaker 1: I think it's likely. You know, you go up and
7:15
Speaker 1: I it's likely. I start squinning that he'll get out there,
7:20
Speaker 1: just based on what's in front of him. And again
7:24
Speaker 1: like the why not factor, why not, let's just see
7:26
Speaker 1: what he's got. Maybe he can do some things for us,
7:29
Speaker 1: Maybe he can help us out let's just get the
7:31
Speaker 1: ball rolling. It's Week twelve. Our record is in the toilet, right.
7:36
Speaker 1: If he gets out there, then I still think he'd
7:38
Speaker 1: be one of the top three players talked about. And
7:40
Speaker 1: you could even throw this out there, even if he's
7:44
Speaker 1: not getting playing time and the Browns are losing games
7:48
Speaker 1: left and right. Flacco's fresh off a stinker performance. He
7:52
Speaker 1: just threw three picks, you know what I mean. The
7:54
Speaker 1: conversation's gonna be there too. He's gonna be talked about
7:57
Speaker 1: quite a bit, so should or might be the top three,
8:01
Speaker 1: But let's talk about the other ones. They're gonna be
8:03
Speaker 1: in there. These two are on my list top three
8:06
Speaker 1: most interesting players in the NFL this season. Bears quarterback
8:10
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, Locke City, USA. He is for sure gonna
8:16
Speaker 1: be one of the top three most interesting players because
8:19
Speaker 1: of everything we've been through with Caleb Williams. The guy
8:23
Speaker 1: was just missing throws into a net in training camp
8:28
Speaker 1: and this was like a oh my gosh moment. It's
8:31
Speaker 1: the insanity. I think is the most scrutinized quarterback. I
8:35
Speaker 1: think he's the most scrutinized player in the NFL by far. Right, Now,
8:40
Speaker 1: the shduor Sanders would be the other. But in terms
8:43
Speaker 1: of scrutiny, you know, like it doesn't get much better
8:47
Speaker 1: than scrutinizing, you know, throwing a football into a net.
8:51
Speaker 1: That's pretty much the epitome of scrutiny right there. So
8:55
Speaker 1: with Caleb Williams first year with Ben Johnson, how is
9:00
Speaker 1: he gonna play? Are the Bears winning games? Is his
9:03
Speaker 1: production any better? If he looks better, he's gonna be
9:06
Speaker 1: a story. If he looks the same as his rookie season,
9:10
Speaker 1: he's taking sackscalore. He's struggling, that's gonna be a story.
9:13
Speaker 1: If he's worse, that's even a bigger story. So Caleb
9:16
Speaker 1: Williams good, bad, similar, indifferent, He's gonna be a monster
9:22
Speaker 1: story this year. I also put in my top three.
9:25
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy.
9:28
Speaker 4: There.
9:28
Speaker 1: Now the reason I like JJ McCarthy to be a
9:32
Speaker 1: top three most interesting player, it's the boombust factor with
9:36
Speaker 1: the Vikings. And it's also what the Vikings just did
9:41
Speaker 1: the previous season. They went fourteen and three. They won
9:45
Speaker 1: fourteen games with Sam Darnald Donald threw thirty five touchdown passes.
9:50
Speaker 1: So JJ McCarthy is a first year starting quarterback. If
9:54
Speaker 1: he's good, if he's serviceable, the Vikings are gonna be
9:58
Speaker 1: winning games. If he's got these first year growing pains
10:03
Speaker 1: and man, he made a costly throw to lose this
10:05
Speaker 1: game and then man, the next game he's stunk it up.
10:08
Speaker 1: What the hell is going on with the Vikings and
10:09
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. Did they make the right decision? Should they
10:12
Speaker 1: have gotten rid of Darnold bab bab? It's gonna be
10:15
Speaker 1: a big time talking point. So I think if JJ
10:18
Speaker 1: McCarthy is good, it's whoa look at this guy? Man,
10:20
Speaker 1: what's the ceiling for the Vikings? If he starts off slowly,
10:24
Speaker 1: it's everything I just said. But I think he's going
10:27
Speaker 1: to be one of the biggest vocal points in the
10:30
Speaker 1: NFL this season. And then you get to like the
10:33
Speaker 1: usual suspects. Is it possible that take your pick Lamar
10:39
Speaker 1: or Burrow or Josh Allen or a lot of these
10:42
Speaker 1: guys who are big names who have yet to win
10:46
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, they're having great seasons or they're struggling.
10:50
Speaker 1: Could they be one of the three most interesting players
10:53
Speaker 1: to talk about? Yeah, they could. It's hard to pinpoint
10:57
Speaker 1: which one it's gonna be I thought about Jalen Hurts.
11:00
Speaker 1: Could he be one of the top three most interesting topics?
11:03
Speaker 1: Maybe if you think of the Eagles defending Super Bowl champs.
11:08
Speaker 1: Let's say that Jalen Hurts is struggling a little bit.
11:12
Speaker 1: Let's say that Saquon Off of four hundred plus touches
11:16
Speaker 1: takes a step back this season. It's happened before running
11:19
Speaker 1: backs with the workload that great. They don't sustain excellence
11:23
Speaker 1: like that, So he could have a noticeable step back.
11:26
Speaker 1: And then there's more on Jalen Hurts plate. And let's
11:29
Speaker 1: say he's not playing great. These are the defending champs.
11:32
Speaker 1: They just kicked around the Chiefs high expectations. Again, they're struggling,
11:36
Speaker 1: and it traces back to Jalen Hurts. He's gonna be
11:40
Speaker 1: a big topic, So it could be him. I thought
11:43
Speaker 1: Coop came up with a great name. And there are
11:46
Speaker 1: a lot of ways to get home. You always talk
11:48
Speaker 1: about this in sports betting. We have a lot of
11:50
Speaker 1: ways to get home, right. We could win it with
11:53
Speaker 1: the defense, We could win it with the passing game,
11:55
Speaker 1: could win it with the running game. With a lot
11:57
Speaker 1: of ways to get home. On this one he threw out,
12:00
Speaker 1: and I'll give him credit, Aaron Rodgers. Now the thing
12:03
Speaker 1: with Rogers is how we can get home. Okay, he
12:07
Speaker 1: plays great. Wow, look at Rogers. Look at his career. Man,
12:10
Speaker 1: the Jets really were a grease fire, no wonder he
12:13
Speaker 1: struggled over there. Look at him now with a real organization.
12:16
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. He's doing these hits. I don't know
12:19
Speaker 1: if he's able to go on McAfee, if he's able
12:22
Speaker 1: to do you know, media hits. I know that was
12:24
Speaker 1: the thing with the Jets, didn't want it. To my knowledge,
12:26
Speaker 1: I don't think the Steelers have put the kebash on that.
12:29
Speaker 1: So if he's doing weekly hits, and he's even more
12:33
Speaker 1: in front of your face, he's got to say something
12:35
Speaker 1: that raised his eyebrows. That happened last year, Remember was
12:40
Speaker 1: that Mike Williams who ran the wrong Someone ran the
12:43
Speaker 1: wrong pattern and he was like, yeah, freaking guy. If
12:45
Speaker 1: he ran the right pattern, I don't know, maybe we
12:47
Speaker 1: would have completed though that's I'm paraphrasing, but that was
12:51
Speaker 1: the gist of it. If Rogers is doing that, he's
12:54
Speaker 1: a shoe in. If he's doing weekly hits, I mean
12:57
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a loss or two in a row
12:59
Speaker 1: and he's gonna say something and it's gonna be a
13:01
Speaker 1: big story. And then also if he just sucks, if
13:05
Speaker 1: he's a shell of himself, if he's still not right
13:08
Speaker 1: health wise, right, like, it's still gonna be a big story.
13:11
Speaker 1: A lot of ways to get there. The one thing
13:14
Speaker 1: where maybe he's not a focal point is we're just
13:18
Speaker 1: sort of over it. And let's say Rogers is like
13:22
Speaker 1: the last year, not the first year of FARV in
13:24
Speaker 1: Minnesota when he threw thirty three touchdown passes seven interceptions
13:28
Speaker 1: that make it to the NFC title game, he was
13:30
Speaker 1: a huge story. It's the last year of FARV with
13:33
Speaker 1: the Vikings, right the next year where he struggled, he
13:36
Speaker 1: got injured, the iron Man streak ended, he got you know,
13:40
Speaker 1: knocked out against the Bears, the whole thing. Right, If
13:43
Speaker 1: Rogers just sucks, I really do think there's a point
13:47
Speaker 1: where we're just completely fatigued and we're just done. We're
13:51
Speaker 1: over it. So yeah, I think that if he's maybe,
13:55
Speaker 1: if he sucks, I think he'd be interesting. If he's
13:58
Speaker 1: just like below average, he's okay, he's not a disaster,
14:02
Speaker 1: but there's just no juice really with him or the Steelers.
14:07
Speaker 1: The Steelers are like nine to eight, eight and nine ish.
14:10
Speaker 1: You know, it's Rogers is middle of the pack at best.
14:15
Speaker 1: I think I think it could be a tuneout. I
14:18
Speaker 1: think it could be a shoulder shrug type situation right there.
14:21
Speaker 1: But I do I think there are a lot more
14:23
Speaker 1: ways to get home with Rogers being one of the
14:25
Speaker 1: three most interesting players in the NFL this season. That's
14:28
Speaker 1: my list. I'll go Caleb Williams, JJ McCarthy, Aaron Rodgers.
14:35
Speaker 1: I'll say those are the three most interesting players in
14:39
Speaker 1: the NFL this season. Your thoughts feel free to weigh in.

17:01
Speaker 3: I know everyone hates him right now because the whole
17:03
Speaker 3: Kendrick battle, but I ain't got no beef with him.
17:06
Speaker 1: It's still it's a still this thing that's a long
17:08
Speaker 1: time ago. They not like us. They're still on the
17:11
Speaker 1: Drake's just not popular anymore.
17:13
Speaker 4: Huh.
17:13
Speaker 3: I don't think that's true. Yeah, I think I don't
17:15
Speaker 3: think you can kill his popularity.
17:17
Speaker 1: Well, you can den it deadly bend it, for sure.
17:22
Speaker 1: There's a dent in net popularity right now. But he
17:25
Speaker 1: doesn't care. He's sitting on he's wiping his tears with money.
17:28
Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't care. He's good. So there's a
17:33
Speaker 1: story that caught my attention on Thursday. This is Michael
17:37
Speaker 1: Porter junior. Okay, so he's now playing for the Brooklyn Nets.
17:41
Speaker 1: He is a former member of the Denver Nuggets. He
17:43
Speaker 1: was traded, but he went on a podcast and he
17:47
Speaker 1: was talking about sports betting and look, he made some
17:50
Speaker 1: points that I completely agree with. And the gist of
17:54
Speaker 1: it is, this is all from his standpoint, right, and
17:57
Speaker 1: it makes sense. He's the one who's dealing with these
17:59
Speaker 1: idiotic fans that say, dude, I needed one more basket
18:03
Speaker 1: and you couldn't score and I'm just mad at you,
18:06
Speaker 1: And I mean, he's got to deal with those people
18:09
Speaker 1: are worse. He's like, we really do get death threats.
18:13
Speaker 1: His life is threatened because he didn't get one more
18:16
Speaker 1: rebound and the parlay didn't hit. You know, this is ridiculous,
18:20
Speaker 1: but unfortunately that's what a lot of athletes have to
18:23
Speaker 1: deal with. And a couple of Michael Porter Junior's thoughts
18:26
Speaker 1: on this podcast. He said, the whole sport's gambling entity.
18:31
Speaker 1: It's bad and it's only going to get worse. And
18:35
Speaker 1: one of the examples, he said, the enjoyment of the
18:38
Speaker 1: game isn't for the game anymore so that people can
18:41
Speaker 1: make money. In reality, way more people are losing money
18:45
Speaker 1: than making money. Now he's right about that, So think
18:48
Speaker 1: about it. This is the dynamics, this is how it
18:51
Speaker 1: all comes together, and a lot of athletes get screwed
18:54
Speaker 1: on this. So you got a lot of sports betters
18:57
Speaker 1: now more than ever because it's legalized. So you just
19:00
Speaker 1: get on your app of choice. You know that MGM,
19:03
Speaker 1: DraftKings Fan Duel, whatever, and you search for the best line.
19:07
Speaker 1: Maybe you got multiple sports books, right, and you're just
19:10
Speaker 1: firing away and there are a lot of betters that
19:13
Speaker 1: lose more than they win. And then there are a
19:16
Speaker 1: lot of betters that can't handle it. It might lash
19:20
Speaker 1: out at an athlete or twenty and it becomes this
19:23
Speaker 1: whole sucky thing. It's terrible.
19:27
Speaker 2: What was the part of the quote that he said
19:30
Speaker 2: right before the part about there's more people losing than winning.
19:35
Speaker 1: Oh, he said, the enjoyment of the game isn't for
19:37
Speaker 1: the game anymore, Okay, that people can make money.
19:40
Speaker 2: So while I agree with that to an extent, I
19:45
Speaker 2: feel like it needs like these sports I mean for
19:49
Speaker 2: the most part, maybe not the NFL, but these sports
19:52
Speaker 2: need gambling. Oh yeah, because the newer generations like gen Z,
19:58
Speaker 2: I just feel like army stimulants. They're they're not as
20:02
Speaker 2: into sports as the you know, I feel like the
20:06
Speaker 2: Millennials were like kind of the last you know, and
20:10
Speaker 2: even then it's like kind of split, like uh, you know,
20:13
Speaker 2: it's not the same type of fandom.
20:16
Speaker 1: It's not like the same obsession, like the same like
20:19
Speaker 1: oh man, they're just like yeah, I'll catch the highlights
20:23
Speaker 1: right right.
20:23
Speaker 2: It's not it's not the connection to the like where
20:26
Speaker 2: you're you know, I'm the type of fan like where
20:29
Speaker 2: and you know this is probably not healthy, but you know,
20:33
Speaker 2: a bad game, a bad loss from the Broncos will
20:37
Speaker 2: ruin my day.
20:38
Speaker 4: You know, like.
20:40
Speaker 3: You gamblers who are just playing on games, they don't care.
20:45
Speaker 2: We'll see if they don't care, they care about the money, money, yeah,
20:48
Speaker 2: they it can ruin their their day, but they you know,
20:52
Speaker 2: it's it's totally different.
20:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sucks. I hate it for the athletes because listen,
20:59
Speaker 1: no one should be you know, talked to completely disrespectfully,
21:04
Speaker 1: death threats, the whole. There was another story with Max Homer.
21:07
Speaker 1: He's a golfer and he was talking about some of
21:10
Speaker 1: the abuse that he faces and has to you know,
21:13
Speaker 1: get off of social media, and there are all these
21:15
Speaker 1: threats and it's just too much. There was Lance McCullers.
21:19
Speaker 1: There's a Houston astros pitcher, So there was an intoxicated
21:23
Speaker 1: better overseas that sent messages on social media threatening to
21:28
Speaker 1: murder his family and him. Why well, because he had
21:32
Speaker 1: a bad start. So you know, your family's got to go.
21:36
Speaker 1: He has this bad start on a Tuesday night, wrecked
21:39
Speaker 1: my parlay. I mean, everybody's got to go, you know,
21:42
Speaker 1: one by one. Because I've never thought about that. Yeah
21:45
Speaker 1: that's what happened.
21:46
Speaker 4: Wow.
21:47
Speaker 1: Crazy. But here's the thing though, this is the point
21:50
Speaker 1: I want to make about all of this, because these
21:54
Speaker 1: discussions turn into hey, because of betting, this is what's happening,
22:00
Speaker 1: and it's like no, no, no, no, no, stop right there,
22:03
Speaker 1: it's not because of betting that these things are happening.
22:07
Speaker 1: It's because people are a holes, because they're psychotic. Yes,
22:12
Speaker 1: that's why it's happening. So you can't fault betting, Like
22:16
Speaker 1: there's just a disconnect. Put it this way. If if
22:20
Speaker 1: somebody I don't know had too many drinks one night
22:25
Speaker 1: and then did something crazy, you know, like let's keep
22:28
Speaker 1: it as apples to apples as possible, they threatened to
22:32
Speaker 1: murder a person and his entire family, right, you wouldn't
22:38
Speaker 1: be like, well, alcohol, you know, if it wasn't for alcohol,
22:42
Speaker 1: we'd be good. No, you would hold that person accountable.
22:46
Speaker 7: You would say that's not acceptable, dude, right, Like, so
22:50
Speaker 7: it's not alcohol's fault, it's not betting's fault. It's the
22:55
Speaker 7: fault of the idiots that don't know how to behave.
22:59
Speaker 1: That's the only thing I'm trying to say is, yeah,
23:03
Speaker 1: just don't blame betting. Blame the person who can't handle betting.
23:09
Speaker 1: That's the difference right there. But far too often I'm like, well,
23:13
Speaker 1: I mean with betting, and just that's what Michael Porter
23:16
Speaker 1: Junior said at the end, Like the whole sports gambling entity,
23:19
Speaker 1: it's bad and it's only going to get worse. I
23:23
Speaker 1: don't have a huge problem with that statement, but it's
23:27
Speaker 1: it's sort of getting to the same old song and
23:29
Speaker 1: dance where it's like, if not for betting, like we'd
23:31
Speaker 1: be fine here. It's like, no, betting's not going anywhere.
23:35
Speaker 1: They're making way too much money, like Coop is saying,
23:38
Speaker 1: betting's going it's the bridge for a lot of people
23:42
Speaker 1: to be more invested in these sports. So it's not
23:44
Speaker 1: going anywhere. It's just like, until these people understand that's
23:50
Speaker 1: not acceptable, I don't know how you get that in
23:53
Speaker 1: their head. They're either punished in a way or listen.
23:56
Speaker 1: I can relate to this in some sort of way,
24:00
Speaker 1: like filling in, being a fill in radio host, and
24:03
Speaker 1: I get it. But I told my mom, I'm like,
24:06
Speaker 1: as weird as this sounds, there are a lot of
24:09
Speaker 1: people that don't even think of you as a human being.
24:12
Speaker 1: It's the truth, that's true. They're just you're this person
24:17
Speaker 1: on the radio, and where's Ben, where's the guy Ben
24:20
Speaker 1: doesn't do lists? And who's this filling guy doing list?
24:23
Speaker 1: They hate you, that's all they think. They think, like
24:26
Speaker 1: you're some something something to entertain me. They don't think beyond.
24:32
Speaker 1: They don't think, hey, you've got a sister, you've got nephews,
24:36
Speaker 1: you got a girlfriend, you got a neighborood cat, yeah
24:38
Speaker 1: you got Oreo visits you. You're a human being, Like
24:41
Speaker 1: they don't think like that. You're just this thing.
24:46
Speaker 2: Why are you doing this to me?
24:48
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, right, Like that's what it is. So it's
24:51
Speaker 1: the same concept with sports betting and these athletes that
24:54
Speaker 1: pay a price for these idiots that are just like
24:57
Speaker 1: I would have won twenty k and this moron can't
25:00
Speaker 1: make two free throws. I'm gonna tweet him. It's just like, no, dude,
25:05
Speaker 1: that's a human being. You don't do that. That's not okay,
25:08
Speaker 1: not cool. And I don't know how we can get
25:12
Speaker 1: people to think along those lines. It's either their plunge
25:15
Speaker 1: severely enough where that sets in or it sinks in.
25:19
Speaker 1: Well see.
25:20
Speaker 2: But I also think that there's such a fine thin
25:23
Speaker 2: line and it's and it's really almost like arbitrary because
25:28
Speaker 2: you know, I if that happens to me, right, I
25:31
Speaker 2: lose something by what I'm doing the same thing. If
25:33
Speaker 2: I'm not seeking the guy out and tagging him, but
25:37
Speaker 2: I'm cursing him.
25:38
Speaker 1: You know, like, well, listen, man, if they don't know it,
25:44
Speaker 1: then you know, well the tree falls in the woods,
25:47
Speaker 1: you know, make it sound.
25:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, But that was gonna lead me to my next statement,
25:51
Speaker 2: because I thought, Okay, well do I go on Twitter
25:54
Speaker 2: and sometimes tweet it out not directly to them, but
25:57
Speaker 2: just out into you.
25:59
Speaker 1: Know, into space or whatever. Yeah, And I.
26:02
Speaker 2: Thought, I'm like, you know, I've done that, like.
26:06
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, I.
26:08
Speaker 2: Don't know if it's necessarily because of a bed, but
26:10
Speaker 2: I'm sure I have. But I just I was thinking
26:11
Speaker 2: specifically after like game one or Game two or whatever,
26:15
Speaker 2: I think I went, I tweeted out, and I was like, man,
26:17
Speaker 2: Bonick sucks.
26:23
Speaker 1: Well listen that that to me is in a different category,
26:26
Speaker 1: right Listen. If bon NICKX just goes on Twitter and hey,
26:29
Speaker 1: let's see what people are talking about, Oh god, right,
26:32
Speaker 1: yes exactly, that's yeah, that can suck. But if you're
26:36
Speaker 1: literally adding him, you know, like you're dming him, right, Yo,
26:41
Speaker 1: that's I think that's a completely different category where it's
26:45
Speaker 1: not the coolest thing on earth just to even tweet
26:48
Speaker 1: it out there. But it's not the same thing as
26:50
Speaker 1: like literally you're basically texting them, you know, what I
26:54
Speaker 1: mean like that, I don't think it's the same thing.
26:57
Speaker 1: Maybe they're cousins, but I think they're distant cousins. I
27:00
Speaker 1: don't think that's the same thing at all. But I
27:03
Speaker 1: feel bad for the athletes. I'll tell you this, If
27:05
Speaker 1: I was an athlete and had to deal with that,
27:08
Speaker 1: I'd probably look at sports betting a lot more similarly
27:11
Speaker 1: to how Michael Porter Junior looks at sports betting. He
27:14
Speaker 1: probably looks at it think about it. So his brother
27:17
Speaker 1: is banned for life because of sports betting. He gets
27:21
Speaker 1: death threats. Sometimes it gets all these people like bro,
27:24
Speaker 1: I needed two more points? What the hell? Can you
27:27
Speaker 1: practice a little bit harder all the time? You'd be like,
27:31
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you guys collectively, just jump in a river. Please.
27:35
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear from you ever again. So yeah,
27:38
Speaker 1: i'd feel a certain type of way about it too.
27:40
Speaker 1: I get it from his perspective, but I just don't
27:43
Speaker 1: think you can get that twisted. It's not the fault
27:45
Speaker 1: of sports betting. It's the fault of the people that
27:49
Speaker 1: can't handle it and don't know how to treat y'all
27:51
Speaker 1: need some mental health, Okay, that's right. Y'all need some manners,
27:54
Speaker 1: is what you need.
27:55
Speaker 4: Right.
27:56
Speaker 1: We got Vic in La he was to tak gambling.
27:58
Speaker 1: Let's go Vic on Fox Sports Radio. What's up?
28:02
Speaker 4: You know what. I'm not going to say that I
28:04
Speaker 4: missed then, but I'm gonna do something in homage of
28:06
Speaker 4: mister Maler. We're gonna start with Room number one Sports
28:10
Speaker 4: is there we go, Luane, the sports dinner for the gambling.
28:16
Speaker 4: You never, you know in the Roman times, So you're
28:18
Speaker 4: talking about these guys getting heckled. Imagine being the sports
28:21
Speaker 4: better they have to deal with those people taking their
28:23
Speaker 4: losses inside of the damn stadium and it was no
28:26
Speaker 4: where they went. Imagine that these guys are getting hundreds
28:29
Speaker 4: of millions of dollars and they're talking about the hecklers.
28:32
Speaker 4: And I can't really take Michael's opinion too much because
28:35
Speaker 4: he's coming from a place, so, you know, dealing with
28:38
Speaker 4: his siblings. But sports ben it for people to have
28:40
Speaker 4: fun and gamble. It was never about these people getting paid.
28:44
Speaker 4: That's whether you know the unionization, you know all the
28:47
Speaker 4: you know how civilization comes about and things change and
28:50
Speaker 4: get better and progress. But I cannot ever, ever, ever
28:53
Speaker 4: have any type of alliance with their wining. The whole
28:56
Speaker 4: thing is for us to have fun. It's not for
28:58
Speaker 4: them to actually get paid only and think it thatig.
29:00
Speaker 1: Big dude, Like, are you saying it's okay to threaten
29:04
Speaker 1: someone life if you don't hit your parlay and these
29:06
Speaker 1: athletes just have to deal with it, like where are
29:08
Speaker 1: you talking about?
29:09
Speaker 4: No, I just say it's not okay, but then to
29:12
Speaker 4: complain to act like, you know, like they really got
29:14
Speaker 4: to take stuff serious. But at the same time, it's
29:16
Speaker 4: always been like that. But I would hope these guys
29:19
Speaker 4: have enough money for security because I mean, it is
29:21
Speaker 4: what it is, because I don't understand how they can
29:24
Speaker 4: really not really take it seriously and at the same
29:27
Speaker 4: time and people are really threatening them. I can't really
29:29
Speaker 4: say that they're not being threatened. But as far as
29:31
Speaker 4: what sports is actually invented for, it wasn't invented for
29:34
Speaker 4: athletes to make a half a billion dollars. That was
29:36
Speaker 4: not the input is point of the whole adventure. It
29:38
Speaker 4: was always about gabling. I mean, you know that's rule
29:41
Speaker 4: number one. Just wanted to see how you felt about that.
29:44
Speaker 1: I hear you, big Listen, thanks for checking in, man.
29:46
Speaker 1: I just think, look, I get the point where, hey, listen,
29:50
Speaker 1: there are some things that come with the territory as
29:53
Speaker 1: a well known athlete, and a lot of those things
29:56
Speaker 1: aren't great. Oh a lot of things. There are drawbacks.
29:58
Speaker 1: They're drawbacks with every in life. But listen, I think
30:03
Speaker 1: there are drawbacks that are reasonable, and that there are
30:08
Speaker 1: drawbacks that it shouldn't even exist in the first place.
30:12
Speaker 1: And I think death threats are one of those things
30:14
Speaker 1: that should never exist. It shouldn't be like, Bro, you're
30:17
Speaker 1: making thirty million dollars a year, so you get a
30:20
Speaker 1: couple of death threats every couple of weeks. Just freaking
30:22
Speaker 1: deal with it, you know what I mean. I don't
30:24
Speaker 1: think it should be like that. That's just not acceptable,
30:28
Speaker 1: and I don't think any athletes should have to deal
30:30
Speaker 1: with that. And it's one of those that just comes
30:32
Speaker 1: with the territory. I just I think that's a different
30:35
Speaker 1: category where I can't believe something more isn't done about that.
30:39
Speaker 1: How can you just go on social media and threaten
30:42
Speaker 1: to kill someone and then just go to work on
30:44
Speaker 1: Tuesday like nothing ever happened, Like, how is that the
30:47
Speaker 1: way it works? It's insane to me. Look, I'll meet
30:52
Speaker 1: you halfway vic like if you're shooting a free throw
30:55
Speaker 1: and people are yelling all kinds of crazy things, you know,
30:58
Speaker 1: within reason. It's a game. That's it happens, you know,
31:03
Speaker 1: like that's that's the way it is. There are some
31:05
Speaker 1: things that are not ideal, but that's just the way
31:07
Speaker 1: it is, and most I think most athletes are reasonable
31:10
Speaker 1: about it. If an athlete came out and said something
31:14
Speaker 1: totally unreasonable, like, hey, you know, when I'm shooting a
31:18
Speaker 1: free throw and I'm on the road, I would appreciate
31:21
Speaker 1: it to be quiet there so I can concentrate.
31:24
Speaker 4: Like it.
31:25
Speaker 1: If an athlete came out and said something like that,
31:27
Speaker 1: it's like, bro, you're not even being reasonable right now.
31:29
Speaker 1: That's just not the way it works. But I think
31:31
Speaker 1: it's totally reasonable for someone to come out, an athlete
31:34
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of money and saying it's not
31:38
Speaker 1: okay to just threaten my life or the life of
31:41
Speaker 1: my family because I didn't come through. I had a
31:44
Speaker 1: bad start as a picture, like come on, what are
31:46
Speaker 1: we doing here? So no, I don't agree with that.
31:49
Speaker 1: I just don't think that's one of those things like
31:51
Speaker 1: hey man, spare me your tears. It comes with the territory.
31:54
Speaker 1: I just think that's a completely different category.
31:57
Speaker 3: If you're gambling, it's a gamble. Okay, you don't know
32:00
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen, and you can't get mad if it
32:02
Speaker 3: doesn't turn out in your favor.
32:04
Speaker 1: Well, that's exactly right, that's totally it's gambling.
32:07
Speaker 3: If you want full payback, you got to go and
32:09
Speaker 3: put your money down and get full money back.
32:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't do it at all, right, No, it's that's
32:14
Speaker 1: the thing I remember, well a long time ago, just
32:19
Speaker 1: popped into my head here with you saying that Lorena Lebron.
32:23
Speaker 1: He might have been playing for the Calves at the time,
32:25
Speaker 1: but he was playing a game I remember for sure
32:27
Speaker 1: at Detroit and he sort of stopped the game and
32:31
Speaker 1: he was talking to a heckling fan that was sitting
32:34
Speaker 1: real close to the court, and he said something along
32:37
Speaker 1: the lines of, hey, you can say anything you want
32:40
Speaker 1: about me, have at it. Don't talk about my family
32:44
Speaker 1: like that is out of bounds. You do not have
32:47
Speaker 1: the right to do that, you know, don't even go there.
32:50
Speaker 1: And the fan was kind of like, okay, you know,
32:54
Speaker 1: completely backed down.
32:55
Speaker 3: Right right, and Ron just came up to you like that.
32:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there, there are some reasonable no fly
33:02
Speaker 1: zones as an athlete, and you can't just be like
33:06
Speaker 1: that comes with the territory. You're gonna have to put
33:07
Speaker 1: up with a lot of just stuff because you're in
33:11
Speaker 1: the limelight, you're paid a lot of money. It's not ideal,
33:13
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. I just don't think
33:16
Speaker 1: death threats are one of those things that that's just
33:18
Speaker 1: completely unreasonable for people to behave like that. It's not cool.
33:23
Speaker 1: These low lives got to start behaving better. I mean, goodness,
33:26
Speaker 1: deal with it. Stop acting like you're five. You know,
33:29
Speaker 1: I listen. I'll be honest. I hate losing sports bets,
33:34
Speaker 1: hate it, but I will never directly reach out to
33:38
Speaker 1: an athlete that cost me a bet, cost me a win.
33:42
Speaker 1: I might be like Coop, I might have, you know,
33:45
Speaker 1: like a brief moment of insanity where I, you know,
33:47
Speaker 1: I throw a mountain dew bottle at the TV ors
33:49
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, I'm not gonna seek them out directly.
33:53
Speaker 1: I understand how people are comfortable doing that. That's crazy.
33:58
Speaker 1: It's just wild. Man shouldn't be like that. What up next?
34:00
Speaker 1: We'll go positive here right around the corner. I think
34:03

Speaker 1: love hard wrap. All right, good well? Uh Taylor Swift.
35:13
Speaker 1: She was on the New Heights podcast, and I'll tell
35:16
Speaker 1: you what I think. We're incredibly cynical in this day
35:20
Speaker 1: and age. And some of it makes sense from case
35:23
Speaker 1: from from you know, from time to time it makes
35:25
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. I don't think this is one
35:27
Speaker 1: of those times. She was talking about becoming obsessed with
35:32
Speaker 1: football because of her boyfriend Travis Kelsey checked this out forever.
35:35
Speaker 4: Thankful for you diving into the football world.
35:38
Speaker 8: Oh my god, I fell in love with it. I
35:40
Speaker 8: became obsessed with it. I became like a person who
35:42
Speaker 8: was running through the halls of my house screaming we
35:46
Speaker 8: dropped it exavior worthy.
35:48
Speaker 1: And my friends are like, what is who? Body snatched you?
35:52
Speaker 5: This is?
35:53
Speaker 6: This?
35:53
Speaker 4: Is it?
35:54
Speaker 1: What do you mean? Shout out to Taylor Swift. Are
35:57
Speaker 1: you kids? That's true love right there. That's awesome. It's
36:00
Speaker 1: her guy. She's supporting her guy his passion as football.
36:04
Speaker 2: She should be.
36:05
Speaker 3: Should be into gambling with you too, you know, like
36:08
Speaker 3: your passions are their passions and even if they're an
36:12
Speaker 3: active player, like this isn't just your man rooting for
36:15
Speaker 3: a team. Your man is on the team. You know
36:18
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Right, you don't just wrap the colors,
36:20
Speaker 3: you wrap the man.
36:22
Speaker 1: So yeah, she's going home with him all the time.
36:24
Speaker 3: Of course she's going to be in this mode of
36:26
Speaker 3: gimme the football. You know what I'm saying.
36:29
Speaker 1: You know what's happened to me? My girl is amazing,
36:33
Speaker 1: But this has happened with you saying that, Lorena. So
36:36
Speaker 1: we've gone to games before, and I'll be betting. We
36:39
Speaker 1: went to Summer League. You know, Summer League was in Vegas.
36:42
Speaker 1: So we went to a couple of games and I'm like,
36:44
Speaker 1: I'm on whatever team. I'm on the Utah Jazz. This game,
36:48
Speaker 1: she's rooting for the other team. Oh, I'm like, I
36:51
Speaker 1: just told you I have the Utah Jazz. She's like,
36:54
Speaker 1: that's fine. I like the Grizzlies. I want the Grizzlies
36:56
Speaker 1: to win or whatever. What's up with that?
37:00
Speaker 3: Unless it's playful.
37:01
Speaker 1: It was not. She's just literally rooting for the other time.
37:05
Speaker 1: I'm like, but I'm betting on no nothing.
37:08
Speaker 3: No, you don't use those winnings on her, you know,
37:11
Speaker 3: don't take her to dinner with those gambling winnings.
37:13
Speaker 1: That's the way to do it. I'm gonna cash out
37:15
Speaker 1: and just like wave them. You see this this is
37:19
Speaker 1: not yours? Yeah, mine.
37:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, See, my wife has found a loophole because she'll
37:24
Speaker 2: like like she's she's now in the I don't know
37:28
Speaker 2: if I think I told you this, but she's now
37:30
Speaker 2: in the confidence pool that we yeah. Yeah, And so
37:35
Speaker 2: she and I've known this because you can look at
37:39
Speaker 2: the other people's picks after the week's over, she will
37:42
Speaker 2: pick like against the Broncos. I never pick against the Broncos, Like,
37:45
Speaker 2: even if I think they're gonna lose, I just put
37:47
Speaker 2: like one or two points on them. Yeah, And she
37:52
Speaker 2: picks against them all the time. But to her credit,
37:56
Speaker 2: and this is how she gets away with it. When
37:58
Speaker 2: we're watching the game, she'll still root for the Broncos
38:02
Speaker 2: even if she's got like points on the other team.
38:05
Speaker 1: Wow.
38:06
Speaker 2: And then if the Broncos lose, like just she keeps
38:09
Speaker 2: it to herself. Inside, she's probably like, yeah, I.
38:14
Speaker 1: But that's cool though. She respects your team. Yeah, that's
38:16
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Yeah. For the most part, you know, my
38:20
Speaker 1: girl can do whatever she wants. There are probably a
38:22
Speaker 1: couple I couldn't have her rooting against Notre Dame, could
38:26
Speaker 1: not have you know the Irish you're playing big time
38:29
Speaker 1: college football game. I could not take that where she's
38:32
Speaker 1: rooting for someone. But yeah, I love the Dolphins. I've
38:34
Speaker 1: always loved the Dolphins. And when she was picking her
38:37
Speaker 1: NFL team, I'm like, pick anybody, literally, and she chose
38:41
Speaker 1: the Raidas and I was like, bad choice. But you know,
38:44
Speaker 1: have ad it like have that experience a lot of losing.
38:48
Speaker 1: But the best colors in football by far easily, So
38:51
Speaker 1: you'll look nice, You'll have some good outfits. There's one
38:54
Speaker 1: more from Taylor Swift.
