at this time. Also football last night as the Chargers
roll the Vikings, Game one of the World Series coming
up tonight in Toronto. It'll be an interesting first at
(00:25):
bat for show. Hey, o Tani, because if you go
back to when we didn't know if he was going
to Toronto or he was going to the Dodgers, there
were reports he was on a flight to Toronto and
then all of a sudden he left them at the
Altar and then went to the Dodgers. So that first
at bat tonight in Toronto will be interesting.

poll question, stat of the Day, all of that forthcoming
(02:12):
Big college Football Weekend. I'll start with the Chargers rolling
the Vikings last night because this was one of those
games you gotta win. There's certain games during the year
where you go, you gotta win that one. There's other
games where you go, you might win that one. There
are other games where you hope to win that one.
This was one with the Chargers trying to write the
(02:32):
ship a little bit. But I think the bigger picture
here is the Vikings because JJ McCarthy haven't gotten any
updates yet on that high ankle spring, but he's been
out for six weeks, and Carson Wentz is not the answer.
And this is where you can't help but think that
Sam Darnold has played well, and Danny Dimes is playing well,
(02:54):
and Kirk Cousins could have been available to you to
come back, and Aaron Rodgers flirted with you. He chose
a different direction. You chose a different direction. And I
know that's this is hindsight, but this is a situation
where you've got the best receiver in the game, and
I wonder at what point Justin Jefferson says, get me
(03:16):
out of here, get me out of here, And I
think that that's real. He's got eight thousand career yards
and this is This is a situation where I felt
like it's they got everything, but they don't have a quarterback.
Whether offensive line isn't very good. In fairness to Carson Wentz,
he got sacked, he got hit a lot last night,
(03:40):
an interception, doesn't look like he's comfortable back there. And
I could understand that if you don't have an offensive line,
I don't care what else you have, your quarterback is
not going to be successful. And Carson Wentz needs help anyway,
and he does not have that. But at what point
does Justin Jefferson say, you know, I need somebody to
(04:00):
throw me the ball. I'm in my prime. This is
like the Bengals T Higgins, Jamar Chase. That's why I said,
don't waste another year. Get a quarterback who can help
you and Joe Flacco. Maybe he can come to the rescue.
Maybe he can keep you afloat during the regular season.
Maybe you get Joe Burrow back. Even if JJ McCarthy
comes back, I don't know what you have with him,
(04:23):
and he's going to have to kind of ease into playing.
And in that division with the Lions, the Bears are
better and we know and Green Bay's got the best
record in the NFC. Time's running out, And that was
what I kept thinking when I was watching last night.
Time is running out on the Vikings. Justin Jefferson had
seven catches seventy four yards, so he's got eight thousand
(04:46):
career receiving yards. The youngest player to reach that twenty
six years, one hundred twenty nine days, so he's one
hundred and sixty eight days younger than Randy Moss was
to reach eight thousand. But the Chargers didn't p last night.
And I still go back to Brian Flores in that
Vikings defense, and boy, they changed the NFL, and he
(05:08):
likes to do a lot of things. He'll make you
uncomfortable and maybe not, so you can put a lot
of blame on Carson Wins. The defense, by all accounts,
is still one of the elite defenses. They didn't punt
thirty seven to ten the final. All right, Seaton, what's
the poll question for the first hour of the program.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I don't even know how to start with pole questions
for the gambling thing.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, we did a few yesterday, but good grief, yeah,
I mean, looking at the last twenty four hours, this
is the perception. Let's say, six months from now. Terry Rozier,
Chauncey Billups totally exonerated, Damon Jones totally exonerated.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
It feels like this is going.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
To be lasting because it felt like, if you're a fan,
you probably already have suspicions. Most fans are like, ah,
it's fixed, Oh, they fix it. This is where it
kind of is a stamp that stays on you. It's
like when you go to the nightclub and you still
have the stamp on you the next day and you
(06:17):
can't get it off. That's what this feels like. It's
just perception in reality. Now it could turn out to
be just plain reality, and that would be devastating for
the NBA. You got all these new TV partners, NBC
Peacock spent billions of dollars on this, ESPN brought in
the TNT guys. I mean, this was a big rollout.
(06:40):
Everything's gone great until the FBI stepped in. But try
to recap this, and I mean it felt like it
was out of Goodfellas and a James Bond movie it
or you know, Law and Order or Rounders. I mean,
there was so much involved in this, and then the
Mafia's involved. In this, and then are you giving information
(07:02):
who are you giving the information to? How much money
are you getting kicked back if you take part in
these poker games? I mean, and everybody says the same
thing about that. Chauncey Billets made a lot of money.
I've never met somebody who's made too much money or
doesn't want to lose money.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Chauncey Billups, Yes, he makes two and a half million dollars,
you know, as the Portland head coach. I mean, this
is a dream of his to be a head coach
in the NBA, and this happened before he got there.
But he knows, he knows that he.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Can't do this.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Damon Jones. I assume all of these guys know that
they can't do this. But the you know, when you
have individual prop bets that I've been screaming about this,
don't let college kids have prop bets attached to them.
There's already enough pressure you can't do it. And even
(07:58):
with the pros, I don't like prop bets. And we
always think, oh, you know, imagine if it's going to
be a big name. It's not going to be a
big name who's going to do this? Now, Terry Rogier
is not a big name. Damon Jones is not a
big name. It's guys who need the money. They get information.
If Damon Jones knows somebody who says Lebron's not playing,
then you give that information.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
That's so valuable.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Terry Rosier, Hey, I'm going to pull myself out of
a game. Bet the under on my props, you know.
And you never think somebody's watching. If you go to
Michael Porter's brother, Johntay Porter, he's probably thinking, I'm in Toronto,
I'm on the bench. Nobody cares. Well, Vegas cares because
(08:43):
Vegas monitors all of this. They have to. If they
see a spike, where what are the normal prop bets
for a guy like Johntay Porter coming off the bench?
Probably not a lot until there is and everybody wants
their piece, and then they go, well, nobody'll know that
I put ten grand on this. Nobody's going to know
(09:04):
that I put fifteen on this. Well, then you add
it up and all of a sudden, it's like something's
going on here. That's when the red flags happen. It's
always somebody who thinks I'm at some university or I'm
a role player on some team and I can get
away with this. Vegas is your watch dog. But there's
so much illegal betting. There's billions and billions and billions
(09:27):
of dollars bet illegally. I'm going to give you some
information here. Spoke to a source yesterday who said an
individual who bets on sporting events checks their betting app
and average of two hundred and ten times a day.
Twenty percent of eighteen to twenty four year olds in
(09:51):
New Jersey have a gambling addiction. College kids. There are
up to two thousand mic bets. So these are bets
on the pitch, the swing, the hit, the run available
per baseball game, per Major League Baseball game, two thousand
micro bets. Ninety percent of your gambling is done online,
(10:14):
and at least six percent of individuals who gamble are
addicted to doing so. These are real numbers. Okay, they're
real numbers, And I caution you, Yes, DraftKings is a partner,
but I'm telling you to have fun with this. You
will not win if you're doing it, and you have
(10:35):
dispensable income and you can have fun. But an eighteen
to twenty four year old, that's where it's where it starts.
That's where it started for me, and that's where it metastasizes.
And then all of a sudden, you're in a hole.
And then you're putting things on a credit card or
you're taking your parents' credit card.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It's all real. This is all real.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I know, it's entertainment to see all of those things.
I'm just telling these are real numbers that I have
in front of me. Twenty percent of eighteen to twenty
four year olds in New Jersey have a gambling addiction.
It's real. And you know, we all have that DNA
that trait you know where, and I have it, you
(11:18):
know where I get addicted to things and I'm all
in on things and then you have to go cold
turkey and stop.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
So where this.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Goes, what this does to the NBA, This could be
one of the biggest scandals that's happened in our lifetime.
They said it's just the tip of the iceberg. I
don't know who else is involved in this, but there
was a report that was Chauncey Billups giving information on
a game where he's telling people we're going to tank,
(11:49):
We're going to tank, We're going to have our first
you know, four guys sit down and a lot of
people bet on that bet on that game. So now
you're fixing a game. And I mean you're committing a
crime here. Terry Rozier prop bet he was investigated before this,
Damon Jones. He was getting information is Lebron going to play?
(12:12):
I'm told Lebron's not going to play? And then you
give that information out and then they have text messages.
Those text messages don't go away, folks. As a friend
of mine who worked for the FBI, he's like, you
can delete them, Oh, we still got them. And that's
what you saw yesterday where you go, wow, this is
like four years ago, five years ago, and they have
(12:33):
the conversation back and forth and it's not like, oh,
what are they talking about. I didn't have to read
between the lines. It was right there in bold print,
right in front of me. But this is and these
leagues can't act like they're victims. They took all of
this money, all of these moneies, but they are rules.
(12:55):
There are rules in place, and now you have this
situation and where Adam Silver has got to meet with
the media and answer some pretty tough questions. All right,
So I don't know if there's a poll question seatan
that can be attached to this.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, but I mean I have one for sure, goof
for your name, Operation nothing but bet or operation royal
flush might lead with that.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Real flush is funnier.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
At first I had lamer name, but then I changed
it to goofy your name good?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, sure, go ahead and pick one.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Yeah, yes, Todd, I got to kick out of the
police yesterday because I love to play on words.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
They couldn't use more gambling analogies.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
With sports, everything was like you bet things are gonna
be worse for you going forward, and I don't care
how many chips you think you could put into a game,
and just everything was like a sports casino.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Well that's sometimes I'll be around people and they think
they have to dumb it down so I'll understand it
so they'll go okay. This would be like Patrick Mahomes,
I go, no, no.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You just talk to me. You don't have to use
the analogies.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Oh, I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Process like.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
He accused her on house arrests. There's no traveling, get that, NBA.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
He took a gamble and it's game over for all
of you.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Crap.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, let's let's assume these accusations are real and they
are proven against the Chauncey Billups or Terry Rogier. Chauncey
Billups is currently in the Hall of Fame and he
was borderlined to get in, and you know, Pete Rose
didn't get in the Hall of Fame, and he was
not accused of sharing information with gamblers or possibly fixing
a game or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I don't think they're taking him out of the whole. No,
I know they didn't take oj out of the Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Well, there's sports crimes, and there's crimes crimes and billips.
If he's what he's accused of is a sports crime.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Well if he did this now and wasn't in the
Hall of Fame, then he wouldn't get in the Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Exactly, agree, Dan, you don't want to be loved in
with OJ.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, I appreciate you bringing that up.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Don't get that many opportunities for your oj impersonation anymore.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Who would you rather work with the mafia or me
O J?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I think the toughest thing is for the NBA is
that people are going to move on with their weekends
and the casual fan is going to say, look what
the NBA was accused of, and they won't follow up.
Like you said, if people are exonerated or it goes away.
And now when you're in a bar and you run
into that guy who says, oh, the NBA it's all fixed.
They've got more ammunition. They always had Tim Donneghe, you
know seven. Now they got three more guys in twenty
(15:32):
twenty five, and you know, it's an easier case for
them to make. I'm still still doubt their case, but
it's easier for them to make.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I'm looking at the odds here for Chauncey Billups for
Coach of the Year, and.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
That's too sick.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Hello, incentsive.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
He was playing a game of chaunts.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
By the way, you, I don't know if you know
that corner.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
Quietly, let you guys take it.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I blew right by the Meat Friday menu. We have
tried tip French dip sandwiches and poutine.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Has it better than we do?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, I just went out there to check out the
try tip French dip.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yes, is that some kind of Russian food?
Speaker 6 (16:23):
What's the poutine?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Canadian?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You've never heard of poutine?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
I was trying to make a little putin poutine joke,
which obviously fell.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Wow, we really hit the jackpot with this menu. I
think you took an over here.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Yeah so far.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I think you went over the first second.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I don't know if I can get out of the
hole that I've been Right now, Chauncey Bellis is having
a better day.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Why didn't you double down?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Okay, okay, how about we take a break here?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Okay, we take a break.

better get MAKO. When this scandal first happened, I did
think of Bob Lee, who I worked with at ESPN
for decades, and Jeremy Shapp and I thought, this is
(18:20):
right up there, Alley. They would have been all over
this at the Mothership. And you know, the media is
different now. I understand that everybody's in bed with gambling,
but I couldn't help but think how Bob Lee, one
of the best journalists I've ever been around, and Jeremy
Shapp as well, that now you have a couple of people,
(18:41):
at least in the sports world who are trying to
explore this. You know, Pablo Tore definitely, but you know
NBC News is doing it and it's not This isn't just.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
A sports story. This is bigger than that.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
But I couldn't help but think of about Bob. I
hope he's feeling better and me Shap a good friend
as will Yes, Pauline, I have.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
A question for the room. I was thinking about during
the break. If you were NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, would
you jump on this and publicly address it before the
weekend to get your narrative out there or your side
of it out there, or go oppo and let it
quiet down?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Well, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I don't want to put my commissioner in front of
the media where he may not have the answers or
he may not want to give you an answer right
now about this. I would let it cool down, hopefully
over the weekend, and then probably once you have I mean,
he's got to get a handle on this too. I
don't know how much information, how much he was downloaded
(19:40):
on this, but he's got to be He's got to
be buttoned up because if you're in there, and it's
not just sports people, when you have newspeople who are
going to be in a press conference asking you questions,
then you.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Got to be ready.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You got to be ready for every possible question you're
going to get because you had Lebron in this where
Damon Jones was getting information about Lebron. Lebron has not
been implicated, but that's part of the headline. People sort
of read things, they sort of watch things, they sort
of listen to things. That's the danger of this where
(20:17):
they're like, is Lebron I had somebody, a friend, you
know who watches the NBA. You think Lebron's involved in this?
I go, no, No, somebody got information on him, not
playing Damon Jones, former teammate Lebron.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
What did Lebron get?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
My heads up again, it's Lebron's league, Lebron James league
in gambling scandal.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, but that's where you sort of listen, you sort
of read, you sort of watch, and that's where sometimes
it leads us to false conclusions. All right, let me see,
by the way, Steph Curry, last night, I had forty two.
How about Aaron Gordon. Aaron Gordon was killing it. He
(20:56):
had fifty and he was killing it from three point range.
And Aaron Gordon has never made an All Star team.
I thought in Orlando, don't they usually take somebody from
each team?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Or is not just baseball that they do that nice idea, though.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, but he didn't win a slam dunk contest, and
Seaton brought this up. Would you rather win slam dunk
contest or be an All Star for one year?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Marvin?
Speaker 6 (21:21):
All Star?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Paul for one year? All Star, Cut.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
All Star, Seaton slam Dunk. I'd rather be an All Star.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
There are a lot of guys who won the slam
Dunk contest, a lot more All.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Stars than slam Dunk contest winners.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
But you remember those who play in an All Star game.
We've forgotten most of the people. Yeah, yeah, I don't
know if we do. Okay, who won the slam Dunk
Contest before Mac McClung.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Who was the starters for the All Star Game West.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Luca two years ago? Yeah, same guys, all the same guy. Yeah,
nobody knows. Yeah, same guys. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 9 (22:01):
Would you rather be Kenny Skywalker or Chris Gatling that
old questioning One was an All Star, one was a
slam dunk champ.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Neither either though too like neither or either. I'd be
both of those guys. That'd be awesome. Neither neither.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Kenny Skywalker that was the only thing he could do.
Didn't he have the kid in play?
Speaker 6 (22:28):
He did?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Cut Yes, that's a solid nickname.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Though, Skywalker, No it is. That's great, Yeah, Poul.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
I've got the Slam Dunk winners list, and there's a
ton of randos. Anthrony Simmons, Derek Jones, Junior Hamadu Diallo, uh,
John Wall won one in twenty fourteen. He's not a
random but I had no idea even entered it. Terrence
Ross remembers that era a lot of randos.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Fred Jones of the Pacers, he played basketball Jones.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
By the way, I flipping through the channels yesterday afternoon
and I stumbled upon the very end of Hoosiers and
No Spoilers. And I had a problem with the opposing coach,
you know, facing the uh what were they the Hickory Huskers.
That's right, Hickory Huskers. Every time they showed this coach,
(23:23):
he was smiling, like his player turns the ball over
with twenty seconds to go and they have him kind of.
Speaker 10 (23:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
The cutaways weren't very good with him instead of being angry,
and I thought, man, that bothers me.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
For some reason.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
He had three cutaways I think in the last you know,
three minutes of the movie, and he didn't seem unnerved
by anything, and he had a smile on.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
His face as they turned it.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I mean they double teamed him, you know, ill advised shooting.
I mean, you know, I would have been upset with
my kids there. I'm just a purist, that's all. I'm
just a purist.
Speaker 11 (24:00):
Right.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Let me get to David in Ohio. Good morning, David, Welcome.
Speaker 12 (24:04):
Back, Hey Dan, happy to meet Friday. Nobody during last
night's broadcast, Al Michaels, they somebody from the Home office
or something had to correct him on the Minnesota vikings
sticker wil Car I think his name was that the
ball did the ball was? It was an optical illusion
(24:26):
the ball you can clearly see on the video that
it hit the camera wire and they made him practice.
I guess my question is, is Roger Goodell have like
a feed into my Al Michael's ear during the broadcast, And.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That's what I got for you say no, no, the
commissioner that the Home office is going to alert the
broadcasting team. They're not talking down Michaels. They'll send a
note or the production truck. Your producer executive producer would
hear from the home office of the NFL, not the commissioner,
but you would have people saying, hey, by the way,
(24:58):
you need to correct this, and now had to come
back and correct that. Buddha in San Francisco, Hi, Buddha, No.
Speaker 11 (25:08):
Buddy, let's go for see. Man. Watching this whole NBA
situation is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, and I can't stop
thinking about David Surton right now, like he must.
Speaker 13 (25:22):
Be rolling over in his grave. I mean, they'll blab
and I mean last night, even though last night, you know,
I still call the T and T boys, but when
they were talking about Rosier Tying what's his name is
the NBA three point.
Speaker 11 (25:38):
You know, shooting record and then Charles Barkley was like,
we should probably go to a commercial now.
Speaker 13 (25:45):
It was like so awkward.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
But anyways, that's that's the whole that's the whole different situation.
But Dan watching Steph Curry to me is like he's
like the closest thing that we have to Kobe since
his passing. I mean, he's a winner, he's be loved
and he's he's been totally confirmed.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
And got a bad connection there. Buddha have a good weekend.
Good luck to your Dodgers tonight, Chris and Syracuse.
Speaker 14 (26:11):
Hi Chris, Hey, thanks as always, Dan, I wanted to
comment on baseball and last night's football game. Yeah, very
excited for the World Series to get going tonight. And
as a Cincinnati Red fan, my favorite World Series statu
is that the Reds are currently riding a nine game
win streak in World Series games and I just hope
in my lifetime him go after number ten. And yeah, tonight,
I'm looking forward to Smalcy doing the games. And Dana
(26:33):
I used to love when he used to interview when
he was on the golf course and you would have
him put his phone next to the t so your
audience could hear him t off.
Speaker 11 (26:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (26:40):
And as a Viking fan, yeah, last night was pretty awful,
but it was good Rodney Harrison. It was good to
see him get on by the Chargers and a silver
lining for Viking fans. Chuck Formant and the late great
Jim Marshall both made the cuts, so they still got
a shot at getting into the Football Hall of Fame
in twenty six and Jim Marshall definitely deserves it. And
I know he's known for running the wrong way. But
(27:01):
I always said, at least he was smart enough to
throw the ball out of the end zone. And I
really hope Jim Marshall gets in.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
All right, thank you, Chris, have a good weekend. Yeah,
you can get to the super Bowl. But if you
lose the super Bowl, it's held against you. And you know,
they put way too much weight on that you lost,
you know, those Buffalo bill players, And I kept thinking
they got to four consecutive the Vikings back in the seventies.
(27:27):
It was held against you because you got dominated and
you lost these super Bowls, and that hopefully they're correcting
that because that Viking team was great.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Chuck Foreman was great.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Jim Marshall, he played in more games consecutive games. He
had that streak for a long long time. And yes,
the one moment that he had he ran the wrong
way in a game. Yes, I'd say it all the time.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
But people really underappreciate how difficult it is to just
get to the Super Bowl. I get, okay, you win
and you lose, but just getting there you in a
different category of quarterback for.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
The most part.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Well that's why I should I'm a big proponent of
what you're saying, because we get to the Sports Emmys,
we just don't win, and I don't want that held
against us.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
I mean, it's better to get there and lose than
to not get there at all.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
That's absolutely right. Yes, me too.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
I think as time has gone on, we've appreciated the
Buffalo Bills because all of those guys got into the
Hall of Fame, Marv Levy, Jim Kelly, Andre Reid, Thrman,
Thomas James Lofton. So those guys ended up getting in,
So we do appreciate what they did twenty five years later.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
But in the moment, we're kind of the Buffalo Bills,
are we?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Well?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I think we've lost five. We haven't won in five
consecutive trips, so.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
We've it might be six six, I think, oh, not consecutives, okay,
but but we have I think we're on a on
a heater where five.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Consecutive maybe, and that we haven't won. We didn't lose,
we just didn't win.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Yes, Paul, I think SVP is oh for seven, So
he's in the club with us.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah, but we're a group.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah, he's an individual. You know, we lose. I have
to come in and see everybody's sad faces. Van Pelt
just looks at himself and goes, I look good. I'm
all right. Yeah, how's my hair?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I knew him when he had hair. Oh yeah, early
SVP at the Golf Channel.
Speaker 7 (29:26):
That was really his window to win.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, when he had hair. Yeah, when he had hair,
that was really.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
If you asked him, would he rather have his hair
of age thirty or a couple Sports Emmys?
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Sports Emmys all day?
Speaker 4 (29:38):
No way?
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah, he's saying he is he Scott van Pelt is
saying I'd rather have the Sports Emmys then hair.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
It's not like he had moss like mine.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
No, but he had a nice, decent head of hair.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
You're right, You're right.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Van Pelt does have a nice skull though. It's very
friendly to baldness.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yeah, I can't. I have a dent in the middle
of my my head. Yeah, swimming accident. So if I
go bald, not good. It's like this indentation my cousin.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Eddie from the Vacation movies. Right here.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
If I get a dent right here, my hair just
isn't gonna look cry. There's nothing but here but a
pizza government plastic.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, mine's right in the middle, right in the middle
of the top of my head.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Bill Bondo in there. We could fill it in dove and.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
You could actually put cocktail sauce and dip shrimp in there.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
It is meat Friday.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yes, I dove into a creek or a creek and
hit a piece of tile boom right in the middle
of my noggin.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
All right, all right, todd, he nearly died. He nearly died.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
Top I did the joke about.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I did nearly die? I did.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
They stitched up?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You're right, well, no one hospital did. Then they sent
me home. And then a neighbor who was a doctor said,
what are you doing home? And I said, they sent
me home, and he called the emergency. He called the ambulance,
took me to another hospital, and then they had me
for three days where my dad slept next to me
because he didn't think I was going to live.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
Oh, now, I was just going to make and stitches
joke and all of a sudden, guys insensitive.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Thought I made it. I'm alive. Okay, Thank God for
all of us, the dear alive. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (31:28):
God bless us all everywhere.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
How about we take a break, take a break. More
phone calls. Brian wyndhors Wendy will join us coming up
next hour, and John Tesh with round Ball give us

I got to ask him about that Saturday Night Live skip.
But that'll that'll be in the final hour of the
program that John Tesh will join us. Better theme song here,
round ball rock or entertainment tonight. Because I would argue
entertainment tonight, all right, I would argue stop it?
Speaker 6 (32:08):
What stop it? Thank you? That would be a terrible argument.
I'm just saying that's not You're not going to win that.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
God, I maybe suffered some brain damage.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Comparing those two. You may still have some issues. P

Todd wants to do a song based off the Gambling investigation.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
If there are a couple of.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
Quick verses together, it's like thirty forty seconds off of
Billy Joel's we didn't start the fire.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Okay, did you run these by Paulie?
Speaker 6 (34:16):
I didn't show them the lines. There's nothing inappropriate about
the lines. I didn't let him know that I had that.
If you guys thought there was room for it.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Okay, why didn't you do it? Right now? It's you know,
ready to go? Here we go.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
This is Todd and having fun with a gambling investigation
to the tune of Billy Joel, Chauncey, Billups, Damon Jones,
the mafia.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
You will break your bones, tam Donaghye, what a clown.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
Charlie hustle block from Cooper's town prop bets just behave.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Taking games point shave over under point spread. Someone better
call the feds. Chauncey, Terry and Damon didn't start the fire.
Sometimes we play the fool, So don't blame Fendl. They
didn't start the fire.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
So gamble Latcher row risk, Well, the police will come frisk.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
That's how it's far as I got. Ye, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Thank you, Tom, I like, thank you, give you a
blue bloup on that Paully has a quick NBA quiz.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Okay, this is pretty obvious. What The answer is, it's
based off the stat that you just gave about Steph Curry.
NBA players that has the most career games with ten
plus three pointers made ten plus three pointers made, The
answer is.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Steph Curry.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Steph Curry by far, who is second or third? Steph
Curry has twenty seven games with ten or more three pointers. Okay,
the next closest is nine.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Marvin Terry Rosier.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
Oh, damn damn today.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Well, he had a game where he had like eight
or nine or ten something turnover.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Yes, Marvin, you got.
Speaker 6 (35:52):
One, might be obvious. Klay Thompson.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
Klay Thompson has nine in his career. Damian Lillard has six.
Nobody else in the history of the NBA has more
than three. Steph Curris twenty seven games.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
So everybody combined, they still don't equal Steph Curry.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Clay is nine, Lillard has six fifteen, and then Zach
Lavine Harden and j R. Smith have three each. So
the top five don't equal. Step did dang, dang dang.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
But there are deep threes and then there are ridiculous
threes and that one that he had last night. You're
just going it and the strength that you know you
have to have the legs to be able to do that,
and through all of this, you know, his entire career
to be able to have the legs to be able
to do that is remarkable. And he's still he's such
(36:49):
a good shooter that people don't realize he might have
the second best handle in the NBA. Kyrie by all
accounts has the best handle in the NBA. But Steph
at his age, still getting separation because not a big guy.
When we were out in Tahoe and I stood, you know,
he was sitting down having a drink. He got up,
gave me a hug, and he's just a little bit
(37:12):
taller than me. And that's what's amazing about this. He's
still able to do this, but he gets that separation
because he has great handle, and he'll hopefully be able
to do that the rest of his career. I'd hate
for him to be just a spot up shooter, but
if it meant he stayed in the NBA, you know,
I'll take that. But I love seeing him run. I
(37:34):
always tell kids move. It's so much tougher to guard
you when you're moving than just standing there.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Take it.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
From somebody who just stood there.
Speaker 9 (37:43):
Yes, Marvin, And if he decides to retire, I want
him to do it at the beginning of the season
so he can get a farewell tour because he was
a game changer unlike anybody I've ever seen in my lifetime.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
It'd be great if the NBA on one night just
made that three point line like it was Steph Curry.
You made a tribute to Steff. I don't know how
you do that, but maybe you make it golden state
yellow in every arena.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Just a thought.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I wanted the NFL to pay tribute to Pat Tillman
and decorate the forty two yard line that was his number,
and I thought, do that. Well, if we do that
for him, then we have to do it for.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Okay, do it for others.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
I wanted more people talking about Pat Tillman. Why is
that forty two yard line decorated that way? Let me
tell you about Pat Tillman.
Speaker 9 (38:34):
Yes, Marvin, also Chase Arena. They need to start building
the statue for Steph right now. He should get it
while he's still playing.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
It'd be great to watch them build it outside, you know,
maybe in real time.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
Make sure it looks like him.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Well, yes, yeah, but that would be you start from
the ground up, then you get up to his head
and all of a sudden he looks like Rinaldo.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
Yes, Paul, the Steph statue should be like four blocks
away away from the stadium. All right, I have a
topic off Steph. Do you think he's a bit underrated
basketball wise? He hasn't won an MVP in ten years,
he hasn't been a he's only been Top five once
in the past ten years. I honestly think he might
(39:18):
be underrated and people pigeon him, hold him as just
a shooter.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Oh yeah, they do that, but that's what he is. Well,
he's not a great passer, No, Draymond's a better.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
Passer, not great passer. He's an unstoppable force, and no
one's been able to figure out.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Well, he does have the ball as much as anybody
in the NBA except for maybe James Harden. Yeah, so
you're going to get assists. I'm just saying he's not
a defender. He he's not really a point guard.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
He's a points guard.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
But yeah, if you want to say he's under he's
going to be top ten all time. I think, although
who comes out of the top ten.
Speaker 6 (39:58):
Somebody.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Oh, really, some bodies got to come up.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
I think there's fifteen players in the top ten.
Speaker 6 (40:03):
That's so usually the way it works usually yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah, and he's in, and then he's in and then
he's in. Wait, that's thirteen players. Oh, let's see a
couple of phone calls in here. Yeah, we can say
that Steph is under eight if you want to. John
and Portland. Hey, John, how's morale?
Speaker 10 (40:22):
Hey it's okay.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Brother.
Speaker 10 (40:25):
I'm a father of five and I actually coached three
of my boys in basketball. I'm a season ticket holder
for the Trailblazers, and I feel like I've never been
cheated on in my life, but I feel kind of
cheated on. And I don't know how to go today,
kind of looking back at this like I'm rooting for
a team that's always going to be the under and
(40:48):
what chance is going to give us all this information
and we're losing. I just I don't know how to
wake up this morning and tell my boys, like it
kind of feels fake. And I don't want to hear
from Adam Silver because he's just going to protect the league.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Well, let's let this play out, though, John, you know
in fairness to Chauncey and Rosier and Damon Jones. That's
you know, maybe there's a reason, maybe there's an excuse,
maybe it's been misreported.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
The FBI sounded pretty strong when Cash Pttel was there
telling us just the tip of the iceberg, and you know,
talked about really how egregious this was of what they
were doing fixing these games. The mafia involved somebody giving
inside information. Man Brian Windhorst will join us in about
(41:39):
twenty five minutes from now. Get some more information from him.
One hour in the books on this meet Friday with

(00:25):
bat for show. Hey, o Tani, because if you go
back to when we didn't know if he was going
to Toronto or he was going to the Dodgers, there
were reports he was on a flight to Toronto and
then all of a sudden he left them at the
Altar and then went to the Dodgers. So that first
at bat tonight in Toronto will be interesting.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Eight seven, seven to three.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
DP Show email address DP at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter

They also have ambassadors in college football, Julian Say in
Ohio State quarterback Indiana's Fernando Man. Visit JLab dot com
to learn more, or you'll see that blue box at
a retailer near you. That's JLab dot com. Play the Day,
poll question, stat of the Day, all of that forthcoming
(02:12):
Big college Football Weekend. I'll start with the Chargers rolling
the Vikings last night because this was one of those
games you gotta win. There's certain games during the year
where you go, you gotta win that one. There's other
games where you go, you might win that one. There
are other games where you hope to win that one.
This was one with the Chargers trying to write the
(02:32):
ship a little bit. But I think the bigger picture
here is the Vikings because JJ McCarthy haven't gotten any
updates yet on that high ankle spring, but he's been
out for six weeks, and Carson Wentz is not the answer.
And this is where you can't help but think that
Sam Darnold has played well, and Danny Dimes is playing well,
(02:54):
and Kirk Cousins could have been available to you to
come back, and Aaron Rodgers flirted with you. He chose
a different direction. You chose a different direction. And I
know that's this is hindsight, but this is a situation
where you've got the best receiver in the game, and
I wonder at what point Justin Jefferson says, get me
(03:16):
out of here, get me out of here, And I
think that that's real. He's got eight thousand career yards
and this is This is a situation where I felt
like it's they got everything, but they don't have a quarterback.
Whether offensive line isn't very good. In fairness to Carson Wentz,
he got sacked, he got hit a lot last night,
(03:40):
an interception, doesn't look like he's comfortable back there. And
I could understand that if you don't have an offensive line,
I don't care what else you have, your quarterback is
not going to be successful. And Carson Wentz needs help anyway,
and he does not have that. But at what point
does Justin Jefferson say, you know, I need somebody to
(04:00):
throw me the ball. I'm in my prime. This is
like the Bengals T Higgins, Jamar Chase. That's why I said,
don't waste another year. Get a quarterback who can help
you and Joe Flacco. Maybe he can come to the rescue.
Maybe he can keep you afloat during the regular season.
Maybe you get Joe Burrow back. Even if JJ McCarthy
comes back, I don't know what you have with him,
(04:23):
and he's going to have to kind of ease into playing.
And in that division with the Lions, the Bears are
better and we know and Green Bay's got the best
record in the NFC. Time's running out, And that was
what I kept thinking when I was watching last night.
Time is running out on the Vikings. Justin Jefferson had
seven catches seventy four yards, so he's got eight thousand
(04:46):
career receiving yards. The youngest player to reach that twenty
six years, one hundred twenty nine days, so he's one
hundred and sixty eight days younger than Randy Moss was
to reach eight thousand. But the Chargers didn't p last night.
And I still go back to Brian Flores in that
Vikings defense, and boy, they changed the NFL, and he
(05:08):
likes to do a lot of things. He'll make you
uncomfortable and maybe not, so you can put a lot
of blame on Carson Wins. The defense, by all accounts,
is still one of the elite defenses. They didn't punt
thirty seven to ten the final. All right, Seaton, what's
the poll question for the first hour of the program.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I don't even know how to start with pole questions
for the gambling thing.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, we did a few yesterday, but good grief, yeah,
I mean, looking at the last twenty four hours, this
is the perception. Let's say, six months from now. Terry Rozier,
Chauncey Billups totally exonerated, Damon Jones totally exonerated.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
It feels like this is going.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
To be lasting because it felt like, if you're a fan,
you probably already have suspicions. Most fans are like, ah,
it's fixed, Oh, they fix it. This is where it
kind of is a stamp that stays on you. It's
like when you go to the nightclub and you still
have the stamp on you the next day and you
(06:17):
can't get it off. That's what this feels like. It's
just perception in reality. Now it could turn out to
be just plain reality, and that would be devastating for
the NBA. You got all these new TV partners, NBC
Peacock spent billions of dollars on this, ESPN brought in
the TNT guys. I mean, this was a big rollout.
(06:40):
Everything's gone great until the FBI stepped in. But try
to recap this, and I mean it felt like it
was out of Goodfellas and a James Bond movie it
or you know, Law and Order or Rounders. I mean,
there was so much involved in this, and then the
Mafia's involved. In this, and then are you giving information
(07:02):
who are you giving the information to? How much money
are you getting kicked back if you take part in
these poker games? I mean, and everybody says the same
thing about that. Chauncey Billets made a lot of money.
I've never met somebody who's made too much money or
doesn't want to lose money.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Chauncey Billups, Yes, he makes two and a half million dollars,
you know, as the Portland head coach. I mean, this
is a dream of his to be a head coach
in the NBA, and this happened before he got there.
But he knows, he knows that he.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Can't do this.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Damon Jones. I assume all of these guys know that
they can't do this. But the you know, when you
have individual prop bets that I've been screaming about this,
don't let college kids have prop bets attached to them.
There's already enough pressure you can't do it. And even
(07:58):
with the pros, I don't like prop bets. And we
always think, oh, you know, imagine if it's going to
be a big name. It's not going to be a
big name who's going to do this? Now, Terry Rogier
is not a big name. Damon Jones is not a
big name. It's guys who need the money. They get information.
If Damon Jones knows somebody who says Lebron's not playing,
then you give that information.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
That's so valuable.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Terry Rosier, Hey, I'm going to pull myself out of
a game. Bet the under on my props, you know.
And you never think somebody's watching. If you go to
Michael Porter's brother, Johntay Porter, he's probably thinking, I'm in Toronto,
I'm on the bench. Nobody cares. Well, Vegas cares because
(08:43):
Vegas monitors all of this. They have to. If they
see a spike, where what are the normal prop bets
for a guy like Johntay Porter coming off the bench?
Probably not a lot until there is and everybody wants
their piece, and then they go, well, nobody'll know that
I put ten grand on this. Nobody's going to know
(09:04):
that I put fifteen on this. Well, then you add
it up and all of a sudden, it's like something's
going on here. That's when the red flags happen. It's
always somebody who thinks I'm at some university or I'm
a role player on some team and I can get
away with this. Vegas is your watch dog. But there's
so much illegal betting. There's billions and billions and billions
(09:27):
of dollars bet illegally. I'm going to give you some
information here. Spoke to a source yesterday who said an
individual who bets on sporting events checks their betting app
and average of two hundred and ten times a day.
Twenty percent of eighteen to twenty four year olds in
(09:51):
New Jersey have a gambling addiction. College kids. There are
up to two thousand mic bets. So these are bets
on the pitch, the swing, the hit, the run available
per baseball game, per Major League Baseball game, two thousand
micro bets. Ninety percent of your gambling is done online,
(10:14):
and at least six percent of individuals who gamble are
addicted to doing so. These are real numbers. Okay, they're
real numbers, And I caution you, Yes, DraftKings is a partner,
but I'm telling you to have fun with this. You
will not win if you're doing it, and you have
(10:35):
dispensable income and you can have fun. But an eighteen
to twenty four year old, that's where it's where it starts.
That's where it started for me, and that's where it metastasizes.
And then all of a sudden, you're in a hole.
And then you're putting things on a credit card or
you're taking your parents' credit card.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It's all real. This is all real.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I know, it's entertainment to see all of those things.
I'm just telling these are real numbers that I have
in front of me. Twenty percent of eighteen to twenty
four year olds in New Jersey have a gambling addiction.
It's real. And you know, we all have that DNA
that trait you know where, and I have it, you
(11:18):
know where I get addicted to things and I'm all
in on things and then you have to go cold
turkey and stop.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
So where this.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Goes, what this does to the NBA, This could be
one of the biggest scandals that's happened in our lifetime.
They said it's just the tip of the iceberg. I
don't know who else is involved in this, but there
was a report that was Chauncey Billups giving information on
a game where he's telling people we're going to tank,
(11:49):
We're going to tank, We're going to have our first
you know, four guys sit down and a lot of
people bet on that bet on that game. So now
you're fixing a game. And I mean you're committing a
crime here. Terry Rozier prop bet he was investigated before this,
Damon Jones. He was getting information is Lebron going to play?
(12:12):
I'm told Lebron's not going to play? And then you
give that information out and then they have text messages.
Those text messages don't go away, folks. As a friend
of mine who worked for the FBI, he's like, you
can delete them, Oh, we still got them. And that's
what you saw yesterday where you go, wow, this is
like four years ago, five years ago, and they have
(12:33):
the conversation back and forth and it's not like, oh,
what are they talking about. I didn't have to read
between the lines. It was right there in bold print,
right in front of me. But this is and these
leagues can't act like they're victims. They took all of
this money, all of these moneies, but they are rules.
(12:55):
There are rules in place, and now you have this
situation and where Adam Silver has got to meet with
the media and answer some pretty tough questions. All right,
So I don't know if there's a poll question seatan
that can be attached to this.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, but I mean I have one for sure, goof
for your name, Operation nothing but bet or operation royal
flush might lead with that.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Real flush is funnier.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
At first I had lamer name, but then I changed
it to goofy your name good?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, sure, go ahead and pick one.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Yeah, yes, Todd, I got to kick out of the
police yesterday because I love to play on words.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
They couldn't use more gambling analogies.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
With sports, everything was like you bet things are gonna
be worse for you going forward, and I don't care
how many chips you think you could put into a game,
and just everything was like a sports casino.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Well that's sometimes I'll be around people and they think
they have to dumb it down so I'll understand it
so they'll go okay. This would be like Patrick Mahomes,
I go, no, no.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You just talk to me. You don't have to use
the analogies.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Oh, I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Process like.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
He accused her on house arrests. There's no traveling, get that, NBA.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
He took a gamble and it's game over for all
of you.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Crap.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, let's let's assume these accusations are real and they
are proven against the Chauncey Billups or Terry Rogier. Chauncey
Billups is currently in the Hall of Fame and he
was borderlined to get in, and you know, Pete Rose
didn't get in the Hall of Fame, and he was
not accused of sharing information with gamblers or possibly fixing
a game or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I don't think they're taking him out of the whole. No,
I know they didn't take oj out of the Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Well, there's sports crimes, and there's crimes crimes and billips.
If he's what he's accused of is a sports crime.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Well if he did this now and wasn't in the
Hall of Fame, then he wouldn't get in the Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Exactly, agree, Dan, you don't want to be loved in
with OJ.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, I appreciate you bringing that up.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Don't get that many opportunities for your oj impersonation anymore.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Who would you rather work with the mafia or me
O J?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I think the toughest thing is for the NBA is
that people are going to move on with their weekends
and the casual fan is going to say, look what
the NBA was accused of, and they won't follow up.
Like you said, if people are exonerated or it goes away.
And now when you're in a bar and you run
into that guy who says, oh, the NBA it's all fixed.
They've got more ammunition. They always had Tim Donneghe, you
know seven. Now they got three more guys in twenty
(15:32):
twenty five, and you know, it's an easier case for
them to make. I'm still still doubt their case, but
it's easier for them to make.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I'm looking at the odds here for Chauncey Billups for
Coach of the Year, and.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
That's too sick.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Hello, incentsive.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
He was playing a game of chaunts.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
By the way, you, I don't know if you know
that corner.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
Quietly, let you guys take it.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I blew right by the Meat Friday menu. We have
tried tip French dip sandwiches and poutine.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Has it better than we do?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, I just went out there to check out the
try tip French dip.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yes, is that some kind of Russian food?
Speaker 6 (16:23):
What's the poutine?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Canadian?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You've never heard of poutine?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
I was trying to make a little putin poutine joke,
which obviously fell.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Wow, we really hit the jackpot with this menu. I
think you took an over here.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Yeah so far.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I think you went over the first second.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I don't know if I can get out of the
hole that I've been Right now, Chauncey Bellis is having
a better day.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Why didn't you double down?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Okay, okay, how about we take a break here?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Okay, we take a break.

better get MAKO. When this scandal first happened, I did
think of Bob Lee, who I worked with at ESPN
for decades, and Jeremy Shapp and I thought, this is
(18:20):
right up there, Alley. They would have been all over
this at the Mothership. And you know, the media is
different now. I understand that everybody's in bed with gambling,
but I couldn't help but think how Bob Lee, one
of the best journalists I've ever been around, and Jeremy
Shapp as well, that now you have a couple of people,
(18:41):
at least in the sports world who are trying to
explore this. You know, Pablo Tore definitely, but you know
NBC News is doing it and it's not This isn't just.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
A sports story. This is bigger than that.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
But I couldn't help but think of about Bob. I
hope he's feeling better and me Shap a good friend
as will Yes, Pauline, I have.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
A question for the room. I was thinking about during
the break. If you were NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, would
you jump on this and publicly address it before the
weekend to get your narrative out there or your side
of it out there, or go oppo and let it
quiet down?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Well, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I don't want to put my commissioner in front of
the media where he may not have the answers or
he may not want to give you an answer right
now about this. I would let it cool down, hopefully
over the weekend, and then probably once you have I mean,
he's got to get a handle on this too. I
don't know how much information, how much he was downloaded
(19:40):
on this, but he's got to be He's got to
be buttoned up because if you're in there, and it's
not just sports people, when you have newspeople who are
going to be in a press conference asking you questions,
then you.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Got to be ready.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You got to be ready for every possible question you're
going to get because you had Lebron in this where
Damon Jones was getting information about Lebron. Lebron has not
been implicated, but that's part of the headline. People sort
of read things, they sort of watch things, they sort
of listen to things. That's the danger of this where
(20:17):
they're like, is Lebron I had somebody, a friend, you
know who watches the NBA. You think Lebron's involved in this?
I go, no, No, somebody got information on him, not
playing Damon Jones, former teammate Lebron.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
What did Lebron get?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
My heads up again, it's Lebron's league, Lebron James league
in gambling scandal.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, but that's where you sort of listen, you sort
of read, you sort of watch, and that's where sometimes
it leads us to false conclusions. All right, let me see,
by the way, Steph Curry, last night, I had forty two.
How about Aaron Gordon. Aaron Gordon was killing it. He
(20:56):
had fifty and he was killing it from three point range.
And Aaron Gordon has never made an All Star team.
I thought in Orlando, don't they usually take somebody from
each team?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Or is not just baseball that they do that nice idea, though.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, but he didn't win a slam dunk contest, and
Seaton brought this up. Would you rather win slam dunk
contest or be an All Star for one year?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Marvin?
Speaker 6 (21:21):
All Star?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Paul for one year? All Star, Cut.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
All Star, Seaton slam Dunk. I'd rather be an All Star.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
There are a lot of guys who won the slam
Dunk contest, a lot more All.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Stars than slam Dunk contest winners.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
But you remember those who play in an All Star game.
We've forgotten most of the people. Yeah, yeah, I don't
know if we do. Okay, who won the slam Dunk
Contest before Mac McClung.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Who was the starters for the All Star Game West.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Luca two years ago? Yeah, same guys, all the same guy. Yeah,
nobody knows. Yeah, same guys. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 9 (22:01):
Would you rather be Kenny Skywalker or Chris Gatling that
old questioning One was an All Star, one was a
slam dunk champ.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Neither either though too like neither or either. I'd be
both of those guys. That'd be awesome. Neither neither.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Kenny Skywalker that was the only thing he could do.
Didn't he have the kid in play?
Speaker 6 (22:28):
He did?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Cut Yes, that's a solid nickname.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Though, Skywalker, No it is. That's great, Yeah, Poul.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
I've got the Slam Dunk winners list, and there's a
ton of randos. Anthrony Simmons, Derek Jones, Junior Hamadu Diallo, uh,
John Wall won one in twenty fourteen. He's not a
random but I had no idea even entered it. Terrence
Ross remembers that era a lot of randos.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Fred Jones of the Pacers, he played basketball Jones.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
By the way, I flipping through the channels yesterday afternoon
and I stumbled upon the very end of Hoosiers and
No Spoilers. And I had a problem with the opposing coach,
you know, facing the uh what were they the Hickory Huskers.
That's right, Hickory Huskers. Every time they showed this coach,
(23:23):
he was smiling, like his player turns the ball over
with twenty seconds to go and they have him kind of.
Speaker 10 (23:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
The cutaways weren't very good with him instead of being angry,
and I thought, man, that bothers me.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
For some reason.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
He had three cutaways I think in the last you know,
three minutes of the movie, and he didn't seem unnerved
by anything, and he had a smile on.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
His face as they turned it.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I mean they double teamed him, you know, ill advised shooting.
I mean, you know, I would have been upset with
my kids there. I'm just a purist, that's all. I'm
just a purist.
Speaker 11 (24:00):
Right.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Let me get to David in Ohio. Good morning, David, Welcome.
Speaker 12 (24:04):
Back, Hey Dan, happy to meet Friday. Nobody during last
night's broadcast, Al Michaels, they somebody from the Home office
or something had to correct him on the Minnesota vikings
sticker wil Car I think his name was that the
ball did the ball was? It was an optical illusion
(24:26):
the ball you can clearly see on the video that
it hit the camera wire and they made him practice.
I guess my question is, is Roger Goodell have like
a feed into my Al Michael's ear during the broadcast, And.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That's what I got for you say no, no, the
commissioner that the Home office is going to alert the
broadcasting team. They're not talking down Michaels. They'll send a
note or the production truck. Your producer executive producer would
hear from the home office of the NFL, not the commissioner,
but you would have people saying, hey, by the way,
(24:58):
you need to correct this, and now had to come
back and correct that. Buddha in San Francisco, Hi, Buddha, No.
Speaker 11 (25:08):
Buddy, let's go for see. Man. Watching this whole NBA
situation is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, and I can't stop
thinking about David Surton right now, like he must.
Speaker 13 (25:22):
Be rolling over in his grave. I mean, they'll blab
and I mean last night, even though last night, you know,
I still call the T and T boys, but when
they were talking about Rosier Tying what's his name is
the NBA three point.
Speaker 11 (25:38):
You know, shooting record and then Charles Barkley was like,
we should probably go to a commercial now.
Speaker 13 (25:45):
It was like so awkward.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
But anyways, that's that's the whole that's the whole different situation.
But Dan watching Steph Curry to me is like he's
like the closest thing that we have to Kobe since
his passing. I mean, he's a winner, he's be loved
and he's he's been totally confirmed.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
And got a bad connection there. Buddha have a good weekend.
Good luck to your Dodgers tonight, Chris and Syracuse.
Speaker 14 (26:11):
Hi Chris, Hey, thanks as always, Dan, I wanted to
comment on baseball and last night's football game. Yeah, very
excited for the World Series to get going tonight. And
as a Cincinnati Red fan, my favorite World Series statu
is that the Reds are currently riding a nine game
win streak in World Series games and I just hope
in my lifetime him go after number ten. And yeah, tonight,
I'm looking forward to Smalcy doing the games. And Dana
(26:33):
I used to love when he used to interview when
he was on the golf course and you would have
him put his phone next to the t so your
audience could hear him t off.
Speaker 11 (26:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (26:40):
And as a Viking fan, yeah, last night was pretty awful,
but it was good Rodney Harrison. It was good to
see him get on by the Chargers and a silver
lining for Viking fans. Chuck Formant and the late great
Jim Marshall both made the cuts, so they still got
a shot at getting into the Football Hall of Fame
in twenty six and Jim Marshall definitely deserves it. And
I know he's known for running the wrong way. But
(27:01):
I always said, at least he was smart enough to
throw the ball out of the end zone. And I
really hope Jim Marshall gets in.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
All right, thank you, Chris, have a good weekend. Yeah,
you can get to the super Bowl. But if you
lose the super Bowl, it's held against you. And you know,
they put way too much weight on that you lost,
you know, those Buffalo bill players, And I kept thinking
they got to four consecutive the Vikings back in the seventies.
(27:27):
It was held against you because you got dominated and
you lost these super Bowls, and that hopefully they're correcting
that because that Viking team was great.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Chuck Foreman was great.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Jim Marshall, he played in more games consecutive games. He
had that streak for a long long time. And yes,
the one moment that he had he ran the wrong
way in a game. Yes, I'd say it all the time.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
But people really underappreciate how difficult it is to just
get to the Super Bowl. I get, okay, you win
and you lose, but just getting there you in a
different category of quarterback for.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
The most part.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Well that's why I should I'm a big proponent of
what you're saying, because we get to the Sports Emmys,
we just don't win, and I don't want that held
against us.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
I mean, it's better to get there and lose than
to not get there at all.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
That's absolutely right. Yes, me too.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
I think as time has gone on, we've appreciated the
Buffalo Bills because all of those guys got into the
Hall of Fame, Marv Levy, Jim Kelly, Andre Reid, Thrman,
Thomas James Lofton. So those guys ended up getting in,
So we do appreciate what they did twenty five years later.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
But in the moment, we're kind of the Buffalo Bills,
are we?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Well?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I think we've lost five. We haven't won in five
consecutive trips, so.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
We've it might be six six, I think, oh, not consecutives, okay,
but but we have I think we're on a on
a heater where five.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Consecutive maybe, and that we haven't won. We didn't lose,
we just didn't win.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Yes, Paul, I think SVP is oh for seven, So
he's in the club with us.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah, but we're a group.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah, he's an individual. You know, we lose. I have
to come in and see everybody's sad faces. Van Pelt
just looks at himself and goes, I look good. I'm
all right. Yeah, how's my hair?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I knew him when he had hair. Oh yeah, early
SVP at the Golf Channel.
Speaker 7 (29:26):
That was really his window to win.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, when he had hair. Yeah, when he had hair,
that was really.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
If you asked him, would he rather have his hair
of age thirty or a couple Sports Emmys?
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Sports Emmys all day?
Speaker 4 (29:38):
No way?
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah, he's saying he is he Scott van Pelt is
saying I'd rather have the Sports Emmys then hair.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
It's not like he had moss like mine.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
No, but he had a nice, decent head of hair.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
You're right, You're right.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Van Pelt does have a nice skull though. It's very
friendly to baldness.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yeah, I can't. I have a dent in the middle
of my my head. Yeah, swimming accident. So if I

Speaker 6 (30:50):
They stitched up?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You're right, well, no one hospital did. Then they sent
me home. And then a neighbor who was a doctor said,
what are you doing home? And I said, they sent
me home, and he called the emergency. He called the ambulance,
took me to another hospital, and then they had me
for three days where my dad slept next to me
because he didn't think I was going to live.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (34:09):
If there are a couple of.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
Quick verses together, it's like thirty forty seconds off of
Billy Joel's we didn't start the fire.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Okay, did you run these by Paulie?
Speaker 6 (34:16):
I didn't show them the lines. There's nothing inappropriate about
the lines. I didn't let him know that I had that.
If you guys thought there was room for it.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Okay, why didn't you do it? Right now? It's you know,
ready to go? Here we go.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
This is Todd and having fun with a gambling investigation
to the tune of Billy Joel, Chauncey, Billups, Damon Jones,
the mafia.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
You will break your bones, tam Donaghye, what a clown.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
Charlie hustle block from Cooper's town prop bets just behave.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Taking games point shave over under point spread. Someone better
call the feds. Chauncey, Terry and Damon didn't start the fire.
Sometimes we play the fool, So don't blame Fendl. They
didn't start the fire.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
So gamble Latcher row risk, Well, the police will come frisk.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
That's how it's far as I got. Ye, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Thank you, Tom, I like, thank you, give you a
blue bloup on that Paully has a quick NBA quiz.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Okay, this is pretty obvious. What The answer is, it's
based off the stat that you just gave about Steph Curry.
NBA players that has the most career games with ten
plus three pointers made ten plus three pointers made, The
answer is.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Steph Curry.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Steph Curry by far, who is second or third? Steph
Curry has twenty seven games with ten or more three pointers. Okay,
the next closest is nine.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Marvin Terry Rosier.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
Oh, damn damn today.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Well, he had a game where he had like eight
or nine or ten something turnover.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Yes, Marvin, you got.
Speaker 6 (35:52):
One, might be obvious. Klay Thompson.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
Klay Thompson has nine in his career. Damian Lillard has six.
Nobody else in the history of the NBA has more
than three. Steph Curris twenty seven games.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
So everybody combined, they still don't equal Steph Curry.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Clay is nine, Lillard has six fifteen, and then Zach
Lavine Harden and j R. Smith have three each. So
the top five don't equal. Step did dang, dang dang.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
But there are deep threes and then there are ridiculous
threes and that one that he had last night. You're
just going it and the strength that you know you
have to have the legs to be able to do that,
and through all of this, you know, his entire career
to be able to have the legs to be able
to do that is remarkable. And he's still he's such
(36:49):
a good shooter that people don't realize he might have
the second best handle in the NBA. Kyrie by all
accounts has the best handle in the NBA. But Steph
at his age, still getting separation because not a big guy.
When we were out in Tahoe and I stood, you know,
he was sitting down having a drink. He got up,
gave me a hug, and he's just a little bit
(37:12):
taller than me. And that's what's amazing about this. He's
still able to do this, but he gets that separation
because he has great handle, and he'll hopefully be able
to do that the rest of his career. I'd hate
for him to be just a spot up shooter, but
if it meant he stayed in the NBA, you know,
I'll take that. But I love seeing him run. I
(37:34):
always tell kids move. It's so much tougher to guard
you when you're moving than just standing there.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Take it.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
From somebody who just stood there.
Speaker 9 (37:43):
Yes, Marvin, And if he decides to retire, I want
him to do it at the beginning of the season
so he can get a farewell tour because he was
a game changer unlike anybody I've ever seen in my lifetime.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
It'd be great if the NBA on one night just
made that three point line like it was Steph Curry.
You made a tribute to Steff. I don't know how
you do that, but maybe you make it golden state
yellow in every arena.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Just a thought.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I wanted the NFL to pay tribute to Pat Tillman
and decorate the forty two yard line that was his number,
and I thought, do that. Well, if we do that
for him, then we have to do it for.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Okay, do it for others.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
I wanted more people talking about Pat Tillman. Why is
that forty two yard line decorated that way? Let me
tell you about Pat Tillman.
Speaker 9 (38:34):
Yes, Marvin, also Chase Arena. They need to start building
the statue for Steph right now. He should get it
while he's still playing.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
It'd be great to watch them build it outside, you know,
maybe in real time.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
Make sure it looks like him.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Well, yes, yeah, but that would be you start from
the ground up, then you get up to his head
and all of a sudden he looks like Rinaldo.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
Yes, Paul, the Steph statue should be like four blocks
away away from the stadium. All right, I have a
topic off Steph. Do you think he's a bit underrated
basketball wise? He hasn't won an MVP in ten years,
he hasn't been a he's only been Top five once
in the past ten years. I honestly think he might
(39:18):
be underrated and people pigeon him, hold him as just
a shooter.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Oh yeah, they do that, but that's what he is. Well,
he's not a great passer, No, Draymond's a better.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
Passer, not great passer. He's an unstoppable force, and no
one's been able to figure out.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Well, he does have the ball as much as anybody
in the NBA except for maybe James Harden. Yeah, so
you're going to get assists. I'm just saying he's not
a defender. He he's not really a point guard.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
He's a points guard.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
But yeah, if you want to say he's under he's
going to be top ten all time. I think, although
who comes out of the top ten.
Speaker 6 (39:58):
Somebody.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Oh, really, some bodies got to come up.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
I think there's fifteen players in the top ten.
Speaker 6 (40:03):
That's so usually the way it works usually yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah, and he's in, and then he's in and then
he's in. Wait, that's thirteen players. Oh, let's see a
couple of phone calls in here. Yeah, we can say
that Steph is under eight if you want to. John
and Portland. Hey, John, how's morale?
Speaker 10 (40:22):
Hey it's okay.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Brother.
Speaker 10 (40:25):
I'm a father of five and I actually coached three
of my boys in basketball. I'm a season ticket holder
for the Trailblazers, and I feel like I've never been
cheated on in my life, but I feel kind of
cheated on. And I don't know how to go today,
kind of looking back at this like I'm rooting for
a team that's always going to be the under and
(40:48):
what chance is going to give us all this information
and we're losing. I just I don't know how to
wake up this morning and tell my boys, like it
kind of feels fake. And I don't want to hear
from Adam Silver because he's just going to protect the league.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Well, let's let this play out, though, John, you know
in fairness to Chauncey and Rosier and Damon Jones. That's
you know, maybe there's a reason, maybe there's an excuse,
maybe it's been misreported.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
The FBI sounded pretty strong when Cash Pttel was there
telling us just the tip of the iceberg, and you know,
talked about really how egregious this was of what they
were doing fixing these games. The mafia involved somebody giving
inside information. Man Brian Windhorst will join us in about
(41:39):
twenty five minutes from now. Get some more information from him.
One hour in the books on this meet Friday with
