Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here's a bizarre story. Do you hear about this story
with the Auburn quarterback Peyton thorpe yep, have you heard
about this? For folks who hadn't heard this, this is
today Peyton Thorn comment. Thorn, he commented on something that

(00:22):
will kind of make you uncomfortable if you're a college
football fan, even though we all know the reality of
a lot of stuff.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
That happens and shows you how big losers they are
out out there.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Peyton Thorn is the Auburn quarterback. He had a tough
day on Saturday. He had four passes intercepted. They lost
to cow twenty one to fourteen. In fact, I was
just looking on Twitter. Lane Kiffen was trolling Paul Finebaum.

(00:55):
Of course, of course, because Paul Finebaum had said last
week there was no chance Auburn loses to col None
book it. Kiffy says, what are you good at again?
Made me cough.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah fine, But I'm also was the one who said
that LSU is gonna blow usc out of the water
in week one and look how that turned out.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah. So so anyway, it was a tough day for Auburn.
They lose Thorn, stand up guy, apparently appeared on a program.
I'm not familiar with this program. Are you familiar with
the Next Round? Okay, So he was on a program

(01:44):
today called the Next Round, and I guess he was
asked about criticism that happens, especially after you throw four
picks in the game, and he said, yeah, he gets
plenty of criticism, including get this, requests for money from betters.

(02:10):
He said, betters have messaged him on Venmo asking him
for money. See this is reason for me enough to
not be on venmo. Don't tell you. He said this
with a chuckle, but you know he had to have
thought about this. Here's the question. Here's the quote. When

(02:31):
he was talking about being contacted by betters on Venmo.
The quote was, they're definitely not sending cash. It's funny.
When they lose money, they want their money back, but
when they win money on a parlay, no one's ever
sent me any of the money. So he was making
light of the request. Of course, the issue is something
that the NCAAA has been monitoring and trying to cut back.

(02:54):
Results from a study by Signified, which is an a company,
an artificial intelligence company. They're a partner with the NCAA
found that one out of every three high profile college
athletes receive messages from individuals with a quote unquote betting interest.

(03:18):
At the request of the NCAAA, Maryland, Louisiana, Ohio, and
Vermont are among the states that have banned sports books
from offering prop bets on college players. Now, Maryland, Louisiana,
and Ohio. I get you wonder, how many you know,

(03:42):
real hard boiled, hardcore betting veterans there are in the
state of Vermont. And some dudes sitting in a barber
shop in Rutland, Vermont, going I gotta get in on
this parlay. Some up got the state capitol in Mott Pilier,
or know, maybe uh, maybe over Killington, over the ski resort,

(04:03):
maybe up the top in Burlington with the University of
Vermont is way up at the top of the state
at Saint Albans. You know, maybe maybe it's something like that.
I don't know, ver mind it is. It is kind of.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Interesting putting together a five leg parlay with Peyton Thorn. Yeah,
taking the over on touchdown pass, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, something like that. Pro athletes have had sooner experience
as a guy, you I think have some admiration for it.
Don't you Max Homa, the PGA golfer, the pro. Yeah,
he said, Betters tracked down his Venmo account and requested
money from him multiple times per week. He said, that
gets old. See and again Venmo unless the way I

(04:44):
understand it, because I'm not on Venmo, but uh, I
gave money to my wife to send to our fantasy
football commissioner because it had to be through Venmo into
some Venmo. But the way I understand it is unless
you make it private, I guess mm hmm. Anybody can
see your Venmo account and stuff. Is that right? You can?

Speaker 2 (05:07):
You can search because I just pulled up Vemo just now.
You can search and you can also see their activities.
So yeah, yeah, on to search Max Homa on on Venmo.
You see all the people that come up. Now, who
knows if which one is Max Homa.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
He doesn't have a profile picture, which is probably good
yeah for him, probably a good idea, But just shows
just like like I said, so many losers out there,
you know, instead of you know, taking the blame for
maybe maybe you shouldn't sports bet, maybe you shouldn't gamble
or make money, you're just blame it on a person, or.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Maybe you just don't know enough about what you're doing. Yeah,
maybe that's it.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
And if you know for Thorn or for Home or
whoever else, start you know, if they send you a
FMO request, you can go right back at him, start
requesting money back at him, right. You know, they'll probably
get tired of that as well. But don't be that guy.
If you're listening, don't be the guy that goes out there.
And if you're if you're gambling on Peyton Thorn first

(06:08):
of all, and taking prop bets on over unders or
betting against Auburn or for Auburn or for whatever, maybe
reevaluate some stuff and don't get mad when the player
or the team or the coach whoever lets you down
or the other team does something. That's the point of
sports gambling because there's there's no skill to it. It's
all a game of luck. It's not like you're playing
blackjack or you're you're playing craps. Right, Anything can happen

(06:31):
with sports gambling. That's why it's been illegal for so long.
Auburn's got an unusual schedule. They open with five straight
home games. They beat Alabama, A and M. They lost
to cow they have New Mexico this week. Now New
Mexico was not good, but I mean, what are you

(06:52):
gonna do.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
You can go and put money back on the Peyton
Thorn and say, hey, I expect you to have a
a big season. Expect you to do that. And then
they have Arkansas home, and then they have Oklahoma at home.
In all over a couple of weeks. The first road
game is at Georgia, and then they go to Missouri
and then at Kentucky. They've got three consecutive road games

(07:13):
then followed by three more consecutive home games Vanderbilt Uel
Monroe on during Cupcake weekend in the SEC, and Texas
A and M. And then they finished with the Iron
Bowl playing on the road in Alabama. That eight of
their games are home games. Eight of them are at
home games under Hugh Freeze. So difficult day and tough

(07:37):
for Peyton Thorn. They're having to having to deal with
guys asking for money off of that because they lost money.
So anyway, weird weird deal. Oh, by the way, follow
up on that, you know the story there that we
were reporting or reading about the whole Dion Sanders Colorado thing,

(08:01):
and Cameron did say that the university denied that that,
in fact, their quote was this is not true. Nobody
ever asked the band to refrain from playing the fight song.
After a touchdown, the band plays Glory Glory Colorado, and

(08:22):
after a point after touchdown, the band plays fight cu
as has been standard practice for years. When Shadure Sanders scores,
the band will wait a moment for a small snippet
of Chadour's song to play did you say it was
twenty two seconds? I believe Cam guessing okay, before immediately
kicking in the Glory Glory Colorado. This is exactly what

(08:44):
happened during the game against North Dakota State. This practice
is not unique to Shaduur, as the band will wait
a moment after a successful field goal to play Alejandro
Mada's song before playing Fight See You. But clearly, whether
it was Dion or word was just sent down, clearly
word was sent to the band to wait. At least

(09:05):
otherwise they would have just one would have been right
on top of the other. So Dion supposedly said that's
idiotic when he was asked about that. Somebody, He may
not have somebody. It could have been somebody in you know,
football operations or media relations or something that said, hey, wait,

(09:27):
let's play a little bit of his song and then
you go into Glory, Glory, Colorado. Somebody had to have
said something, because the band wouldn't have just waited after
a touchdown. They wouldn't have just waited. They had to
have been instructed that there was something about that. So anyway,
there's a little bit of a clarification on that. We'll
be back to wrap up today's edition of the program

(09:48):
