(00:22):
you mentioned this story here. If we dive in a
little bit more, Kawhi Leonard was sent home by Team USA. Right,
The men's Olympic basketball team is tuning up for the
Paris Olympics, and the story we got is that Kawhi's
(00:44):
right kne isn't quite right and that was something that
was disputed by Lawrence Frank. He's the president of basketball
operations with the Clippers, and he was like, this was
their decision. This wasn't partially us. You mentioned it, Eddie, right,
it was Grant Hill that said, yeah, it was kind
(01:06):
of a joint decision between US, meaning US men's basketball
and the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
The Clippers are like, no, this was them.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And so the question I have is do you believe
Lawrence Frank who is saying, oh, we're disappointed he was
sent home.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
He put a lot of work into this, YadA.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
YadA, because to me, if Kawhi Leonard misses twelve of
the Clippers' final fourteen games, right, he's missing playoff games,
he's got right knee inflammation, all of a sudden he's
on Team USA. It's kind of weird, right, Like the
Clippers from their perspective, they're paying him all this money,
he's not available at the end of the season. Next
(01:47):
thing you know, he's on the Olympic team. It's kind
of feel a bit strange, just a bit right. And
so Lawrence Frank he goes into this spiel of no, no,
we wanted him on the Olympic team. So this is
a longer version. It's about forty five seconds. It's not
the longest cut, but I'm still amazed that this is
(02:10):
Lawrence Frank's position. So if you don't believe it, just
gauge if you're buying what he's selling or not. Again,
from a Clippers point of view, that Kawhi Leonard is
off the US men's basketball team, check this out.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
It was usav's call, and I was quite frankly, very
disappointed with the decision. Qui wanted to play, We warned
him to play.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
I was there the.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
First two practices. He looked very good participate, was a
full participant in everything that they did. I wasn't there
for the third practice, where ultimately that was the point
where they decided to go in a different direction. You know,
I expressed them, I really wish that they would have
given Qui more time. You know, we have the benefit
(02:54):
of having been around Kuhi for five years to see
and buy and see where he's at.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
So you know, he looked good to me.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I know all the sacrifices he made in order to
make this commitment to the Olympics.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
So it was very disappointing.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
What do you think about that, Eddie?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Do you buy this that Lawrence Frank and the Clippers
were like, no, we wanted Kawhi, who was hurt for us,
We wanted him on the Olympic team.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You buy that?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
No? Not really. I think that this is a situation
where Kawhi is upset and the Clippers are like, oh, yeah,
we're upset too. We don't want you, we want it
right in this thing, when in fact they probably don't
because they want him healthy for their season, But also
I do. I'm not a big conspiracy theory guy like
(03:46):
Ben is. Ben loves the conspirac theories. But if I
recall correctly, Kawhi had an ugly split with Nike, and
the USA Basketball is team Nike, and isn't there some
thing going around where Jalen Brown didn't get picked and
oh gosh, what is the white yet Derek Wall what
(04:08):
I did? And there's some conspiracy about this because Jalen
Brown's not a Nike guy or something like that.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, so I wonder if.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Maybe that's playing the factory I don't know, I don't
know sidence.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, there is that conspiracy theory where, Yeah, the Jalen
Brown thing is this goes back to Kyrie Irving. Remember
when Kyrie he was promoting that movie that was anti
Semitic and Nike dropped Kyrie and at that point Jalen
Brown he posted on social media he was like, since
when does Nike care about ethics? And he's said some
(04:42):
other negative things about Nike in the past, and so
his theory and the theory of some or that he
didn't get chosen as a Kawhi replacement because he's been
anti Nike.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Which could be the case. Possible, it's the case.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
But with this thing with Kawhi, I'm with you, it
just doesn't make sense from a Clippers standpoint. I think
you explained it very well where Kawhi might be upset
and they're like, whoa, yeah, we're upset too. But like
Luka Doncic didn't qualify for the Olympics with with what
(05:20):
Slovenia Slovinia. I always getting mixed up with Serbia with Jokic,
But yes, Slavinia, thank you for the saving.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Because the La Kings Andre Kobatar is from Slovenia and
I know that there you go, Lucas from that same country.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So hey man, whatever word right, Yeah, But the MAVs,
I would imagine they're like, ah, Luky didn't qualify that
terrible man, right, Like it's not the worst news ever
or a better example the Bucks with Yannis. So Yannis
missed every playoff game in the first round against the Pacers,
(05:56):
but he qualified for the Olympics with Team Grace, and
so the box have to feel like, this is kind
of weird. We're paying him a ton of cash. He
was not available for us when the NBA playoffs rolled
around the next thing we know he's playing for Team.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Grease is kind of strange.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
So that's just I have a hard time buying the
Clippers saying no, we absolutely wanted him in the Olympics.
That's just hard for me to believe. Now, this is
something else that might be hard to believe. It's a
funny story, Eddie. So Bill's quarterback Josh Allen, he was
on Pardon My Take, He was on that podcast, and
(06:37):
the question he's being asked is funny. The reason they're
asking it is because Blake Griffin is there as well, right,
former NBA player. So Blake was with the Boston Celtics,
then he retired, and then the Celtics won a championship immediately. Okay,
so that's the reason why Josh Allen is being asked
(06:59):
this quest question. But check it out and tell me
if you believe what Josh Allen is saying.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Josh, again, you very much want to win a Super
Bowl with the Bills. Bring the Bills a super Bowl
would be incredible. Have you thought this is a new move?
Have you thought about retiring and then the Bills will
win a Super Bowl? Because that's kind of a thing
that's going around. If you retire the team you were last.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
On wins time.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
If that's what it took, I would do it.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Oh wow, that's huge for the Bills.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
If I could, Can I say guarantee it, because that's
what Blake did.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
He guaranteed it.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, yeah, I would do it.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I think you actually mean that though when you say that,
if you would, if it was guaranteed you would retire.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I would to bring the Bill to super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah that sounds like I would have a part. Yeah,
you'd I played or not.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Right, you'd be in the That's Blake feels the same way.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I mean, yeah, they were like, no come back and
I was like, no, guys.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
So what do you think you buy it?
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Eddie?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Well, I do if he's if he's saying it's guaranteed,
because basically he would be winning the Super Bowl for
the Bills if there was some magical thing that says
you get one wish or I don't know, but I
actually do buy that because he's sitting under the guys
of my sacrifice will win the Bills the super Bowl.
(08:18):
So in essence, he is winning the Super Bowl for
the Bills because this magical spell or whatever that he's
agreed to the monkey par whatever he's doing has granted
the wish, so he will be seen as a hero.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I can't buy this. I think in the moment, I
think he really believes this. I think he's being genuine
right now. But when it really came down to it,
you know, Josh Allen's literally turning his turning in his
retirement papers.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
And he's still in his twenties, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I can't imagine he would actually go through with that,
even if it guaranteed the Bills win the Super Bowl.
I just don't buy it. If it actually came down
to it, he would do that.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I don't know. Put yourself in his shoes. If the
entire what what it was Notre Dame your number one
number one Dolphins, who's your number one number one?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
It'd be Notre Dame.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Okay, Notre it kind of because they've won national times,
but anyway, we'll go with it. If the entire fighting
Irish nation knew that if Brian No announced he was
quitting radio, he was retiring, and that meant the Irish
were going to win the national championship and guaranteed them
that you would be a freaking hero. You would never
(09:33):
have to buy a drink in South Bend again. You
would be legendary.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Imagine if it came down to that, And I'm like,
what am I gonna do?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
If it's not radio? No, I'm not making that deal.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
They might win one on their own, right, that would
be excutoccado.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Right, No, I'd be shunned.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Notre Dame is not a good example. Is there any
Do you have a team that you love that has
never won it?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I don't think so. It's yeah front Runner?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Well sorry, man, Cardinals have won a bunch of World Series.
The Dolphins they haven't won one since I've been alive.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Right that.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Alive? All that's good enough. Then if you retire from
radio the Dolphins win the Super Bowl, you can find
something else to do, Brian.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
What am I gonna do? Maybe nothing else? Come on,
I don't know if there is, but doesn't Maybe.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
It's still work in sports, but it would be behind
the scenes type of thing you're not on air? How
about that?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
All right? All right?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I'm thinking a cameraman. How may be a cameraman?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Be a cameraman.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
That's a pretty cool gig.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Games.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I can film games and stuff. Yeah, it's allowed all right,
maybe I'd have to think about that. But the devil
on my shoulder says, hey, you don't have to make
this deal.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
They might win one on their own.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
There's no guarantee.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
There is no guarantee.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Well, it's been a Charger fan for fifty years, no super.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Bowls, but we're living.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I feel like this is like an X Men movie, right,
this is like Iron Man or something like this.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
There's no guarantee that can be made if Josh Allen.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
That's why he's not serious though. But to your point, yes,
but we're talking about a fantasy land.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Here, Okay, so embrace the fantasy as yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I still don't believe him.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
I actually do you hate But then again, but the
thing is he can he can still say that, come
off like a good guy, and there's.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
Obviously no way we can never right right, have it happened?
So yeah, he we win for him too, right? Because yeah,
it's an impossible question. But I still think he's what
twenty eight years old?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Really like, he's got it. He might have another decade
in front of him. He could be a Pro Football
Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I'm sure there are things that he wants to accomplish
on his own.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
He would get of all of that up.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
He would retire today if it guaranteed the Bills win
a Super Bowl. I don't think if it actually came
down to that, he would do it.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I don't believe.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
I think under the circumstances of the Bills having never
won it and having their hearts broken so many times,
that he would be he would He'd be the ultimate hero,
not even whoever won, who ever played on the team.
He would be the guy.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, it'd be kind of tough to take, also, wouldn't
it Where some other quarterback is on the field when
they win the Super Bowl? And that'd be a little
tough to take, wouldn't it.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
I imagine'd be a little bittersweet. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
How many things in your life did you really mean
in the moment and then for whatever reason, you're like, em,
I'm gonna rethink this thing.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Right, It happens all the time.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yeah, I understand.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah, I think you would rethink it. But good stuff.
I like that conversation. Hey, feel free to check in.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Malor Militia eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is
your phone number. We always love hearing from the militia. Hey,
by the way, what do you think about this nickname?

in he said, the Malor militia being taken over by
Nose Locos this evening. Love it not overtaking them melor malicious.
But what do you think about the name nose Locos?
Would you be a part of that group there, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Maybe I like that. What were the benefits of being
an in those locos? Would I get free nachos or something?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
You know that could be part of the Incental packets.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Way to get me on board is yeahs got rude.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Hey, that could be done. That could be worked out
for sure. But a shout out to Ryan, I love

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love how in the middle there

Speaker 4 (21:23):
That's rich coming from you.
Speaker 11 (21:25):
That was that was horrible. I have better takes than
that up, Yeah, I do. Eddie Garcia. Yeah, And talking
about you, Eddie Garcia, you were right. I was hearing
in the first hour you were talking about the Rock
and I totally agree. Like the Rock wasn't the Super
Bowl and that was in the SOFI so you did
get it right. You don't know where it was. And
(21:46):
the Rock going on the super and the Super Bowl
half some it's a joke. It's like, Okay, I'm the Rock,
and do I really have to promote it? No, Like
nobody cares about that. XFO got together with the you know,
with the new NFL that he bought. Like, I don't
care about that sports Man. We want to see the sport.
We don't want to see that show that drama. But
talking about sports, Teddy, I was actually in the Summer League,
(22:07):
and I know you were.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
We want your Bronnie James report.
Speaker 11 (22:12):
Yeah, I was gonna tell you more about that. Well,
Bronnie James actually pray today. I was surprised you didn't
give the update.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
I did give the update.
Speaker 11 (22:20):
Oh, you're right, you're right, but he only gave two points.
But talking about we don't want to talk about Bronnie.
I actually met a rookie over there, and I'm going
to give a wild prediction. He's going to get Rookie
of the Bulls. This guy is.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Rookie of the Bulls.
Speaker 11 (22:33):
He's from the Bulls Meta and I actually met him
in Vegas and I took a picture with them. Any cards.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
What's his name? Who is it? He's got one name.
Speaker 14 (22:43):
He's like three times his name is mates.

your shot. We need to know all about him.
Speaker 11 (23:02):
Well here, here's my guy. But that's what I was
gonna tell for Brian. Like I know, he didn't bet nothing,
but I'm really really loving the Rockets tomhow against the
Pistons in the Summer League. They're gonna bounce back and
made us. You know, he's gonna be Rookie of the Year.
Be careful with them. Like he scored twenty five points
on Sunday. Guy actually scored twenty five points and he
(23:22):
had I believe five rebounds and two blocks. That's really
really good for the Summer League. And he's gonna bounce
back against the Celtics and he's really going to help
the Rocket. So I really really love how he's playing.
I met him, nice, humble guy.
Speaker 13 (23:38):
I talk to.
Speaker 11 (23:39):
Him and he doesn't for the love of the sports.
You know, a.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Poppy, if you had met Dalton connect, would he be
the Rookie of the year front runner in your mind?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 11 (23:50):
No, no, you know what? And if I'm a future guy,
I was bet on uh my fastuh Brian, you know
why because last cherld was on the Summer League and
Victor one Bay I'm a wa there and he won Rookie.
Speaker 13 (24:01):
Of the Year guy.
Speaker 11 (24:02):
So I'm telling you don't sleep on Matas from the
Chicago Bulls. He's going to be good with Josh Katy.
The Australian team played good against Team USA. The Bulls
are going to be a team to like, be careful,
you guys can make some serious money. So I'm really okay.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
If you want to win money, listen to Poppy. Everybody
knows in.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Mind right back the balls over here? He met Matas.
Speaker 11 (24:27):
Mat Yeah, and I'll take him on the money. Like
and another team I'm really liking, Uh that's playing really
good as a Minnesota Timberwolf in the summer league.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
So yeah, that summer league basketball is a great indicator
of how a team will do in the regular season.
Speaker 11 (24:40):
Yes, well, well, the thing is. The thing is it's
good for people that Eddie that know basketball back basketball
gurus like man, Yeah, look there, you gotta know what

Speaker 7 (26:12):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Hey, we had the Copa America and we had an
incident there. You probably heard about the hard Rock Stadium,
home of your Dolphins, Columbia against Argentina in the championship game,
and they had a forty five minute delay because of
fans storming one of the gates and just trying to
I guess bum rush the security there to get in.
(26:39):
Did you see who was a part of the arrests
of the people there. The president of the Columbia Football Federation. Yep,
heeron which I probably didn't pronounce correctly, but nobody knows
who he is, who cares forty three year old son
as well. Both and son facing three felony charges for
(27:04):
fighting security trying to I think they were trying to
get down on the field. I believe I heard not
part of the fans storming in, but it was a
wild night there at hard Rock Stadium apparently. And so
the Colombian Football Federation president and his son arrested and
in jail overnight. From what I understand as well, part
(27:25):
of the group that was incarcerated.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Yeah, yeah, it sounds like they just wanted to see
the field or get down to the field. This is
after midnight Eastern time, so this is after the match, right,
and so security is like, ohh who, you can't go
on the field, and.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
They just beat the guy up. It's kind of this brawl.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
And apparently this guy, like you said, Eddie, he's the
Columbia Football Federation president. He also serves on the FIFA Council,
so he's part of.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
So he's a scutbag, is what you're saying it's part.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Of that governing body as well.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
But this is some just like Joe blow guy, Like
he's the president of a federation, he's on the FIFA Council,
and he's a bare knuckle boxer. If you don't let
him go on the field after the match, you know craziness. Hey,

way tied buying should be okay, Eddie, So I was
watching Team USA and the little friendly action to tune
up before the Olympics here and they beat Australia. You'd
(29:10):
be happy to know that. I want to bet on
Team Australia.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Oh thank god.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
You know you can get some value.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Betting the point total of the other squad because the US, they'll.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
They'll get a little lax.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
You know these are tune upsy, not even the Olympics yet,
you know, so you can get some value that way.
But question that comes to mind. So in international hoops,
and of course the Olympics and the friendlies leading up
to it, there is no goaltending right once the ball
touches the rim, you can swat it off of the rim.
(29:46):
So would you like to see this in the NBA? Eddie,
Now think about this. I think immediately remember Kawhi Leonard
when he was with the Raptors and he hit that
legendary shots bounce and then went in. Yeah, bounced four
times and went in legendary shot. Imagine that you could
(30:06):
just swat the ball off the rim once it hits
the rim.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Would you be in favor of that in the NBA?
I wouldn't be.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
No, nor would I don't like that?
Speaker 11 (30:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (30:16):
I don't like it either.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
That's not right. I mean no, it's no.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
You oftentimes you don't get the friendly role or the
shooter's touch, or you just have your center just stand
underneath the basket and try to swat a shot away
that hits the rim.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
I don't like it. I'm okay with it.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
For the Olympics, you might bring the center back though,
the center position back maybe, yeah, rejuvenates that position a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Be a huge change if that were the case. And
also this, I was watching the US and Australia today.
You know how they have like the scorer's table, that
long banner, and they have all the advertisements during the game.
It literally said official candy of USA basketball, Eddie, the
official candy is sour patch kids.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
That's what what do you mean?
Speaker 11 (31:05):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
So exciting.
Speaker 14 (31:07):
I love sour pats. Yeah, they're like they're some of
the goats. They're sour and then they're sweet and.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Then they're gone.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
They're all yours you guys, and they're fantastic. I hate
I hate that stuff. I hate all Wow.
Speaker 14 (31:24):
What you just don't like sour candy is that.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
I don't like gummy bears or any of that. Stuff.
It's disgusting to me. I hate it.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Wow, man, Eddie.
Speaker 14 (31:35):
Eddie also doesn't like water, so that's true.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
I'm not a big fan of water.
Speaker 14 (31:39):
I might take away your title ball for this.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Oh then I'll say, well, wait a minute, now, why
would you do such a thing. I'm saying, all of
the gummy bears and all the gummy worms and sour
pat whatever, I'm giving that all to you. I'm giving
that to you. You should be thinking it that way.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Look at me. I can eat a lot of gummy.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Bears, but judge your character right now.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I'm being charitable. It's all for you.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Wow man, that's the very positive spin on something that's
negative and outrageous. You raging against sour Patch kids. You know,
I appreciate the the twist right there.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
It's a solid line.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
And she said she has potato balls and I want one,
So I gotta say pretty much anything right now?

Speaker 1 (33:29):
We've got some fluctuation in the NFL season win total market.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
This is according to BETMGM.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
So if you look at the Panthers, huh Vegas behind
the Panthers.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Here a little bit. They're moving up, Bettie.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
From four and a half wins, the betting line now
is five and a half wins for the Carolina Panthers.
What do you think is the market drunk on the Panthers?
You see them getting to six wins this season with
Bryce Young in company?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (34:07):
You want to know what I think?
Speaker 2 (34:08):
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (34:10):
I think?
Speaker 7 (34:10):
I don't care.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
It's the Carolina Panthers, you degenerate gambler.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Okay, all right, let me give you another story. Maybe
the New England Patriots. They're moving on down. They've gone
from five and a half wins, they're now at four
and a half wins on bet MGM, what do you
think about that?
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Oh my god, it's gonna keep me up tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Okay, Now, you can't snooze on this team. You have to.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
You're contractually obligated as a voice on the radio, you
know what I mean. The Dallas Cowboys there, they've gone down. Actually,
they've gone from ten and a half wins the line
is now at nine.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
And a half wins. I mean, think about that.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
If I was taking this series, which I clearly am,
I'd have to look at their schedule, okay, and analyze
it and do the whole win loss, win lost thing, okay,
and and give you an answer in that way.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Okay, Let me. I'll give you the cliffs notes version
on their I'm.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Looking at the schedule right now.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Look at it all right, some primetime games.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
You know, they've got the NFC South, not the toughest
division top to bottom. No, they've got the AFC North,
which is one of the tougher divisions top bottom.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
Got the Giants twice in the schedule. Af there's two
wins right there. They got Carolina on there. Washington's probably
not gonna be very good. They got them twice. I'll
go over, you go over, I'll go over.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Look, man, I get that people like to hate on
the Cowboys, and they're listen, they haven't gotten it done
in the postseason at all. I could see being skeptical
about them going deep into the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
That's fine. But to get to ten wins, like you
think this team, with all.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Their talent, is just a nine to eight football team,
you're out of freaking mind. They've won twelve games the
last three seasons, each of the last three seasons. They're
getting to ten wins unless they're just ravaged by injuries.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
This is an easy over. And that's the thing. I
bet MGM.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
The under nine and a half is one of the
most popular tickets.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
The most tickets are on the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Under nine and a half. You people are drunk. They're
getting to ten wins. Unless that goes down in week three,
they're getting to ten wins.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
That's what I like to hear.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
You can bet for.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Me, happily, do that, Eddie, No problem with that. How
about this too? The most popular over tickets, Eddie, The
Bears over eight and a half. I'm skeptical as well.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
I like their defense.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
The last second half of the season they played well,
But Caleb Williams is a rookie. I think he's gonna
be good eventually in the NFL. But hitting the ground run, yeah,
not the easiest thing to do. How about this The
second most popular over in terms of the amount of tickets,
The Steelers.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
That's not a surprise because and a half. Yeah, well
I think that's I mean, look, Mike Tomlins got the streak,
yeah right, never had a losing season. If he has,
if it's seven, he's gonna have his first losing season.
I'll take that bet.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
I will too.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
You know what this is, it's such over the top
Russell Wilson negativity, Like you just said Mike Tomlins never
had a losing record, and they're running to the window.
Actually they're they're running to the window to go over.
I take that back.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
Seconds.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yeah, what's the most bitter loss
