(01:02):
podcast.
I am your host, joey gavick,along with my co-host here, brad
and chris brad.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
How you doing today doing all right, a little under
the weather.
So, uh, I'm gonna be verymonotone and uh, thanks for joe
and chris for spearheading theshow tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Appreciate it so uh, all right, so it's just like, uh
, just like every week.
Chris, how are you doing?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I'm doing good.
He better pull out some jJordan Sick Game shit because
I'm tired of the nonsense he didlast week.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Mr Mopes, all right.
Well, let's get right into ithere.
Obviously, the thing thateverybody wants to talk about
right now is the Luka Doncic andAnthony Davis trade.
Let's jump right into it, surelet's jump right into it.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Sure, I mean, it's pretty simple if you had the
brain capacity to think outsidethe box of why it happened.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Why did it happen, Brad?
I'm lacking the brain capacity.
I need help.
I don't watch the NBA.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Who's the owner of the Dallas Mavericks?
The dude from Shirt I'mblanking on his name.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
It's not.
It's not the dude from Shirtthe Dallas Mavericks Dude from
Shark Tank.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I'm blanking on his name, it's not the dude from
Shark Tank, not anymore.
He sold the team, sold hismajority ownership yeah, who's
the new owner?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I forget her name, but she is the owner, mark Cuban
.
Excuse me, she is Sorry.
Her name is excuse thepronunciation miriam adelson.
She's a billionaire who owns uh, she's the majority owner of
the mavericks.
Um, she also.
(02:39):
The way she made her money wasthrough a casino and, for those
who don't know, you cannotsports bet in Texas.
So my conspiracy theory is thatshe's trying to tank the team
to move them to Vegas to buildher casino resort arena.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
That was the conspiracy theory that they're
going to move to Vegas.
I mean, the stadium is alreadybuilt.
They can play in the GoldenKnights stadium.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, or they could.
I mean they host the Olympicsthere.
I know UNLV is there and theyhost the Summer League, so there
has to be A basketball arenathey can play in temporarily.
There are plenty, you know.
I don't think they.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
What's the stage size of a sphere?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I don't think it's possible?
No, that'd be cool, though Idon't think the seats would be
great, but I think that thatlogic there is a lot less far
fetched or, yeah, a lot less farfetched than they traded Luca
because he's fat and they don'twant to pay him yeah, that's
(04:00):
bullshit the problem.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
That didn't make the thing.
That didn't make any sense.
They didn't call anybody else.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
But you have to.
You have to trade Luka to ateam that you know he'd re-sign
to.
So who else would Luka sign anextension with?
You know, I don't know, theydidn't even ask Well, you're not
going to give up as much as theLakers gave up on a what?
40-game rental.
Whatever it is.
(04:28):
60-game rental.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
He can't even get the Supermax now.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
No, which sucks.
He's going to lose out on like$115 million Wild.
What are your thoughts, Joe?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Regardless.
Honestly, my favorite part ofthe entire thing was Joel Embiid
and Chris Paul coming back toreport for practice and games.
That was kind of an oh shitmoment for them, like fuck, we
better start playing again.
I thought it was awesome andfor as stupid as it looks on
that owner and as bad as itlooks on the Mavericks as an
(05:08):
organization, I think it's goingto be a wake-up call for a lot
of players that hey, I'm notprotected, I can't be traded at
any time.
Clearly it's happened oncebefore.
It can happen again.
Personally, I think it's thebiggest trade since the Brittany
Griner for Merchant of Deathtrade.
So there's that it's cool forthe NBA.
(05:30):
My personal conspiracy is thatthey're getting no clicks, no
views, no watches and they needsomething spicy, because I've
heard more news about the NBA inthe past week than I have in
the last six years.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
It just seemed weird, Like that wasn't enough in my
opinion, but I'm not an NBAsavant over here.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
NoBear went for what?
Four or five first-round draftpicks in a couple players.
Mikael Bridges went for fourjust this past offseason.
Yeah, so I don't get it, it'salways funny, when the NBA is in
disarray, the Lakers alwayshave a superstar.
He goes back to Wilt Magic Shaq, kobe LeBron.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
So is this Luka's team now.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
not LeBron's team anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Oh 100%, it's not LeBron's team anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
oh 100%, it's Luka Doncic's team it has to be
LeBron's going intoLePlayerCoach.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I read somewhere originally Dalton Connect was
also in this deal and thensomehow got whittled down to
just AD yeah, I thought.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I mean I don't know, I mean the mavs are, I don't
know what the fuck they're doing, but I mean they got street
clothes and yeah, the nba isjust a mess jim.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Mess.
Jimmy Butler deciding to justnot play, although maybe he will
now that he got traded.
I don't know that's just weird.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
He just signed a two year extension.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'd hope he'd play until he's unhappy again, I mean
good thing they only did twoyears.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I mean he's burnt out every stop.
He's been at the Bulls, theTimberwolves, the Sixers, the
Heat.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
If players start doing that more, how soon will
non-guaranteed contracts be inthe NBA?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I don't think the NBA is going to exist for much
longer.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I think if they don't do something, they're going to
fold.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I don't know if you've heard rumblings, but I
guess LeBron is spearheading aninternational league.
I think that's going to takethe forefront.
I think the WNBA is going to bethe domestic game is there
enough desire internationally towatch this horseshit basketball
(08:16):
?
No, yes I.
The viewership internationallyis surpassing us domestically.
Look at and just as I mean,this isn't a one-for-one example
, but just look at the lastOlympics, I mean, look, how
close other nations are tobeating us.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
This was arguably one of the best USA teams we ever
put together?
Yeah, but you could also arguethat it's not a real team.
You go to the Olympics.
None of those guys have playedtogether really.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
You're saying those other teams have played together
all the time.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I would think more than us.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah, that's their NBA championship, that's their
goal.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, but I think the people from Lyft Golf are going
to make a big splash ininternational basketball.
I mean, I know it's a smallgroup of kind of older,
washed-out players, but you lookat someone like Dwight Howard,
demarcus Cousins Most recentlyPat Brev went to Greece.
(09:34):
I mean those are three guys whoprobably could have been on an
NBA roster that went overseas.
Jeremy Lin did it.
I mean there's a number.
I just think.
As the ratings dip and the gamebecomes less watchable, it just
(09:55):
I just think the internationalmarket's more prevalent.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Just wait until they find out about college
basketball.
But all right, I've had enoughtalking about the NBA.
I can't stand it.
It's Super Bowl week.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I will be watching the Lakers now though.
I will turn on a Lakers game towatch Luka and LeBron.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I will not.
I still won't Either way.
Moving forward again, it'sSuper Bowl week.
Stop talking about the NBA.
This is what they want and Irefuse to conform.
Super Bowl Sunday we obviouslygot some parties, got stuff
going on.
The atmosphere is great, Roadsare wide open for driving, which
(10:36):
is cool.
If you don't like football, goto a movie theater.
They're fucking empty, but it'salways fun.
I enjoy the atmosphere of SuperBowl Sunday.
What are some of you guys'favorite parts of Super Bowl
parties?
The Super Bowl itself, anythingthat comes to mind Skyline dip.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Let's outside of the Cincinnati area for anyone who
doesn't know what?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
that is?
All the food.
All you do is eat and gamble.
That's it.
That's what Super Bowl Sundayis.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
The worst part is you got to wake up and go to work
the next day.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
That is dumb.
Why is Super Bowl Monday, not aholiday?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
It is, it's going to be.
Goodell said they're working ontaking away two preseason games
, adding a regular season gameso that Super Bowl Sunday would
fall on President.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Martin Luther King Day is the Monday after the
Super Bowl.
President's.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Day.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
President's Day is next week.
No, yeah, so we're adding aweek.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
You just said we're taking away two preseason games,
adding a regular season gameand this.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You're still negative one game.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Well, you probably need another bye if you're going
18.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, so now we're back where we started on this
week.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I also don't think we should go to an 18-game
schedule, but that's adiscussion for another time.
I feel like my problem withSuper Bowl is there's so many
side bets and you just keepdumping in more bets and more
bets.
You gotta win like 10 bets tobreak even, Unless you get some
(12:32):
of the hands.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Are you gonna do the doink?
The what the doink.
What's the doink?
You can bet if there's gonna bea doink or not.
This is ridiculous.
Nobody knows.
He saw one in person.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
At least my team made a playoff game Moving forward.
No, I love the side bets.
I think they're awesome.
Obviously it's a ploy to getyou to dump more money and yes,
we know it's the same thing withhow I've seen 700 gambling ads
on my fucking phone in the lasttwo days.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
You guys saw the United States total handle for
the Super Bowl so far.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I did not.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
It's at $1.46 billion .
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And it's not even something.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I saw it.
I saw it was at $1.3 billionearlier and I'm like Jesus, this
is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It's going to go nowhere but up.
I wouldn't be surprised if it'stripled by kickoff.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, we haven't bet it yet.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I don't think we're contributing a whole lot to that
.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I guarantee you there's a large number of people
out there like us who are notputting bets in on a Wednesday
of Super Bowl week, and it's aheavy majority.
Now your people that areprobably placing your bigger
wagers are, which is why yournumber is so high right now.
Yeah, I could see this numbertripling before kickoff.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Does this country have a gambling?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
problem.
Yes, we're heading straight inthe direction of Australia.
As soon as slot machines gotput into airports, we started
having way more issues, just somany more issues.
What a terrible system.
By the way, who came up withthat?
There was like one guy incharge of all the slot machines
in the airport.
(14:16):
You know what happens if youget a hand pay in those things.
It takes like an hour and ahalf, okay let's back up.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Why are you playing slot machines in an airport?
Because people are fuckingstupid, chris.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I've never done it, but I asked someone the other
day that I know has and I go hey, what happens when you win
money?
Who do you go to the flightattendant Like, hey, I just won
six bands, let me get my dollar.
Like it's not, that can't behow it works.
Like no, someone, there's likeone person there and they have
they're in the middle of theairport and they have to come to
(14:53):
you and I'm like how long doesthis process take?
Like an hour like that soundsoff.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You're gonna miss your flight that sounds on your
hand pay, yeah, no, I'm out.
Also, those are probably someof the tightest slot machines
that are in existence oh, thewin percentages have to be well
below three percent yeah, andthat's terrible again it's.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
But, like I said, as soon as we started putting slot
machines in airports, we becamea gambling, a country with a
gambling problem, which is, Idon't understand how the
government is still losing moneywith how much taxes they've
been collecting, because if youwin money, they collect taxes,
but then if you lose money, theycollect taxes from the casino.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Well, it's easy, because they spend more money
than they take in and theyassume they're going to get more
money from the casino.
Well, it's easy, because theyspend more money than they take
in and they assume they're goingto get more money from the
gambling and they pre-spend it.
It's a problem.
It's like when you're out ofcash in your DraftKings account
and you decide to bet with yourcrowns or whatever the hell they
have.
You have a problem.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
You should just stop gambling.
I don't know anybody I meananybody that would use their
crowns to gamble brad movingforward.
Um, yeah, I'll be honest.
I think some of my favoritethings about the super bowl are
the stupid stuff, like thefucking halftime show memes you
(16:26):
see on Instagram afterwardswhere it's just roasting the
shit out of whoever it is.
Those are always fun.
There's always one player thatlooks like an idiot, which is
fun too.
You get to make fun of amultimillionaire for a couple
minutes Yay, what a puppy bowlBig.
For a couple months.
Yay, wow, poppy Bowl Big.
Fan of the Poppy Bowl here.
I don't fully understand it yet, but I'm going to get there.
(16:49):
I'm going to get there at somepoint this year.
And then what's that?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I think the biggest thing about the Super Bowl is
it's a four-hour escape fromreality, correct?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
And that's all football is, except for on a
regular Sunday.
It's like a 12-hour one andit's way better.
But oh well, see, it's likelook, what are you going to do
now that football's over?
This is my favorite weekend ofthe year and it's also one of my
least.
It's like daylight savings time.
(17:29):
It's like, oh, thank god I getto wake up in the morning and
there's sun, but then it's 4 30and it's dark out.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
You know fuck my wife has openly questioned whether
I'm going to be depressed or notfor the next few months, while
there's no football on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I think I am Like I'm already halfway there since
college football ended.
Nothing's better than Labor Day, weekend and week, zero hits
and like life just feels good.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
But you never go out on Labor Day weekend.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I don't want to go out on any of these, I just want
to watch football.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Mr Potato Head, shut the fuck up.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
No, the best time of the year is the 54 days prior to
Thanksgiving, where there'sfootball on every single day,
every day Greatest time of theyear.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
You get home and you're like I get home now and I
go, I don't know what I'm goingto watch, because it's like 16
NBA games.
I'm not fucking turning thoseon.
And I end up watching FamilyGuy for six straight hours and
I'm like what did I just do withmy life?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
You watch TGL.
That's entertaining.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Kind of yeah, somewhat Sure, they're playing
on a simulator, I can just goand do that myself.
College basketball has beenentertaining, has it?
Do any of these games reallymatter?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
It wasn't entertaining tonight.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Really they do, because they all play in the
fucking conference tournamentanyway.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I mean, I don't know.
Marquette St John's was a hugegame for first place
Michigan-Oregon tonight.
That was a big game.
Tennessee-mizzou is a good game.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Oregon's been getting bounced by everybody in the big
time.
They were only ranked prettyconference season.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Stay away from my ducks.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I'm sorry.
They're great at football,they're just not that good at
basketball.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
They're ranked nine a month ago.
A month ago, they're not rankedanymore.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
They've lost four in a row, yeah, so not that good.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Either way, I will miss football dearly.
I cannot wait until August 31st, when this shit kicks back up
again.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
We just got to survive until March.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'm more worried about after March.
Yeah, that's going to be untilMarch.
I'm more worried about afterMarch.
Yeah, that's going to be abusiness the Masters.
That's it.
You got like a couple of coolgolf tournaments which you can
really only watch on Sunday forlike four hours max, and it's
still pretty fucking boringbecause 90% of the shit is stuff
(20:24):
you don't want to see.
Like the guy who was in 26thplace holes out for birdie from
50 yards off the grid.
It's like great, it doesn'tmatter.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
That's why I got the top tier 11 UA team.
Keep me occupied.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yeah there's that those games don't get streamed
here they do on Game Changer.
Do you want me to startstreaming games?
I?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
literally they already do.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
No, not ours, Like we didn't have an iPad, but I
bought one just so we couldstart streaming.
You're a?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
psychopath.
Do you not believe me?
Did Top Tier reimburse you forsaid payment of iPad?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I'm working on it.
I also bought an.
Apple pencil and a case.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
They don't even pay you for miles.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
And then you tell me you don't have any money.
This is a shocker.
This is money for an iPad, it'slike 600 bones.
An Apple pencil is like 90bucks, ipads are cheap.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Now, dog, I don't know what you're.
You buy a refurbished.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
They're not that cheap.
I just looked at them.
They're like 500 bucks.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
He got the refurbished Gen 3.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
$4.99.
Either way, we're getting offtopic here.
Let's get back to the SuperBowl.
Some fun stuff.
In media day.
Saquon Barkley was maybe goingto sign with the Bears, which is
cool but also sucks at the sametime.
That's like the same time TomBrady said he was almost going
(21:56):
to sign with the Bears.
Great, you didn't.
So why are you telling me this?
Just to make me realize myorganization sucks that much
more he would have wasted Saquon, though.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yeah, he would have been hurt, because he gets hit
in the backfield every time.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Okay, moving forward.
I agree, I 100% agree.
I don't know why he was everconsidering coming to Chicago.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Was he, or is he just saying it?
So it's not like he's chasingSuper Bowls.
Why say it?
I don't know, I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, that's my thing .
It's the same thing with TomBrady.
It's like, dude, that was fouryears ago.
You're retired.
Why are you telling me this?
Why would you have ever came toChicago?
We never had anybody.
At least Tampa had Mike Evansand a good old line and a great
defense Moving forward here.
(22:52):
One of the bigger bets of theweek Super Bowl MVP.
Does anyone have any favoritesfor that?
Anyone they really like Anyvalue plays Taequann.
Does anyone have any favoritesfor that?
Anyone they really like Anyvalue plays Saquon.
I like Jake Elliott at plus40,000.
The dude can't make a fuckingkick.
(23:13):
I don't think he's going tohave to kick one outside of 50
yards all game.
He's going to go four for fourwith two extra points in a game.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Why would they ever kick anything?
Just tush-push.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, but I think we saw against the Commanders and
the Chiefs, against the Bills.
Granted, the Bills don't run atush-push at all, they just run
a regular QB sneak which makesno sense, zero.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
They can get stopped.
Also, I'm interested in howhealthy the eagles center is
going to be.
Oh my god, if they go to push,push against chris jones, how is
he going to survive that?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
he's not, he's just not um, uh, the one prop I do
like is um, it was plus, it wasplus 300.
It's either team tosuccessfully make a two point
conversion.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
We're going to get there later in the podcast when
we get to the picks.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I don't know, Sorry no it's fine, it's just one of
my picks.
I guess I'll change it, noproblem.
Appreciate you though.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
That's hilarious.
You can keep that as your pick.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
No, I had a backup one because I knew Brad was
going to do some dumb shitduring this.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
You said you asked for any prop bets that people
like you came up with it.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That was your own thought.
I didn't ask for any prop bets.
I asked for your Super Bowl MVPvalue plan, which you did not
give me.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
There aren't any, because there aren't any.
If the Chiefs win, it's Mahomes, if the Eagles win, it's Hurts
or Saquon.
There are no other options.
I beg to differ.
All right, what do you gotbesides plus 40,000?
Jake Elliott, our lockers.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
What do you mean?
What else?
That's the biggest value playthere is.
That's not value.
A dollar wins you 400?
I couldn.
That's not value.
A dollar wins you $400?
I couldn't pick any more value.
Put your flip $1 free bet ofthe day.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I think Griffin would have used the $1 better than
that kicker prop.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I don't know about that Moving forward.
I mean, yeah, we could kind of.
Does anyone have a hoop hoopedin your cereal this week?
Because I do.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Seton Hall, do they?
Yeah, brad, let's go with Brad.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Trying to think who hooped in my cereal over the
weekend?
I don't know.
I didn't really bet a whole lotthis weekend bags.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Who is your?
Who pooped in your cereal thisweek?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
my who poops in your cereal is the mississippi state
basketball team at home againstMizzou, minus 300 favorites,
getting bent over by 30 in yourown court by a poverty Mizzou
team To absolutely sell my roundrobin.
You were the worst.
Don't touch basketball everagain.
(26:33):
It was dreadful to watch youplay.
It was almost as hard aswatching me line up and that's
saying something.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Is it just worse because Pat went to Mizzou?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
No, it's worse because it cost me a combined
$600.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Could I run to the Corona Beach Club?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Could I put it on Jake Elliott MVP, but I guess
not.
Honestly, I wish I did, becauseI feel like it has a better
chance than Mississippi Statedid in that game.
And this kind of moves me toanother point here.
How big of an advantage is homecourt in college basketball?
That's astronomical.
Yeah, it seems like sometimesit's massive, Right, how big of
an advantage is home court incollege basketball Is?
Speaker 3 (27:17):
that astronomical?
Yeah, it seems like sometimesit's massive Right.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Unless, your home court is not on campus.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
What like St John's?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
No MSG's.
I'll give St John's theexception there, unless they're
playing UConn.
Okay, I'll give St John's theexception there, unless they're
playing UConn Okay.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Um, that's an interesting study.
I'd like to hear the actualstats on that, because it just
seems insane.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Well, you can look it up, chris.
I think like it doesn't matterwho's playing who.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
It seems like the home team wins 90% of the time.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I think like 8 of 11 Big E schools don't play on
campus.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Really.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah, I think Xavier's one of the only ones
Creighton Paul doesn't play oncampus.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Marquette doesn't Marquette's.
I know it's not on campus, butI would say that's on campus.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I think it's adjacent .
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I think if it's within comfortable walking
distance, that should be oncampus.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I mean, if you got comfortable walking distance,
walking past Jeffrey Dahmer,crank yourself out you're not
there anymore neither is thebuilding.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
They tore it down.
Anyway, we're getting off track.
We are Again.
We're still talking about theright thing here, which is how
massive what's going to happenwhen we get into conference
tournaments and March Madness.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
What do you want to know about the conference
tournaments?
I'll let you know right now.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Nothing, I'm just saying Home court advantage is
gone.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Correct, which is great.
That's why March of Madness andBrad.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Partial home court's gone.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Majority of home court is gone.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
You have what St John's plays at their home
stadium.
Vanderbilt gets to play inNashville, duke and North
Carolina get to play in NorthCarolina and Greensboro, purdue
(29:31):
gets home games in Indianapolis.
I'm just saying, but carry on.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
You're right.
A majority of home courtadvantage is taken away, and
then, once we get to MarchMadness, even more of it is
taken away, and as you digdeeper into the tournament, it's
all gone.
So I'm very, very curious tosee how it's going to play out.
I feel like there's going to bea lot of upsets this year.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I think it depends where teams get seeded.
I think the more mature coachesand teams that have been there
before will do well, I like, Ithink, like I was looking at a
bracket the other day, it waslike Purdue is a two seed that
would have to play UConn in thesecond round.
You're going to think Dan earlyis, like I, two seed that would
have to play UConn in thesecond round.
You're going to think Dan Earlyis going to have the boys buzz
(30:20):
in to play Purdue without ZachEady.
Okay, sure, I'll take that one.
Michigan State Izzo January.
February.
Izzo April.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
The dude is March I like Alabama to cut down the
nuts to keep my dream shotparlay alive.
Yeah, again, I'm glad you'rebringing up the brackets because
I'm curious.
I know you guys have had a lotof success batting conference
(30:54):
tournaments and I've kind ofridden that, at least last year.
What do you think is easier,conference tournaments or
Marshmallows?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It's a bet.
Huh, what would you say ispretty equal, Less variability.
In conference tournamentsYou're getting teams playing for
a third time.
You usually know the matchupsand the players pretty well, but
the lines are more precise.
I still think conferencetournaments is pretty better.
I know Georgetown was the onlyteam to make it from the first
(31:35):
day all the way to thechampionship team to make it
from the first day all the wayto the championship.
I just know teams with the buysusually fare off better in the
conference tournaments.
But I don't know, Chris yourthoughts.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
I liked the first two games of the big tournament.
I thought those were easierlast year.
But I mean of the turn of thebig tournament, I thought those
were easier last year, but Imean it wasn't.
There wasn't too many hugeupsets, I don't think from the
first week, at least not that Iwas involved in.
What do you mean?
We had oakland, which was, yeah, most of my bets were, I think,
(32:12):
favorites in the first twoweeks, although tennessee
screwed me last year.
I couldn't cover the spread.
I was in North Carolina theweek they legalized gambling.
That was the opening round ofthe tournament it was awesome.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
It's a big weekend for North Carolina to open up.
That was well planned by them.
I'll be honest with you I gotnothing else.
College basketball wise, did Imiss anything?
Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Andy Reid off a bye Sirianni revenge game.
You want to talk about the bigdumb dipshit, chris?
No, I think I've harked on himenough.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I think we move it on into the picks here in which
you want to talk about the bigdumb dip shit, chris.
No, I think I've harkened onhim enough.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I think we move it on into the picks here and wish
everyone a good luck on Sunday.
All right, chris, you let usoff.
Last week I had Brad go last,because I'm a piece of shit,
brad.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
We're on down.
We had a winning week last week.
We're inching closer back to500.
I went 2-1.
Joe went 2-1.
And Chris went 1-2.
And yeah, I won't, I'll juststop there.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
You're not going to lead us off with what your pick
is.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Sure, sunday morning Big game, the big game.
I would be taking One momentplease.
I'll be taking Crystal PalaceMoneyline against Everton.
Who's at home for that game?
Huh, who's at home?
Everton is at home.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Chris, For my first pick, I'm going to just go to
the Super Bowl and I'm going totake Dallas Goddard over four
and a half catches.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Good line, good line.
I feel like tight ends are useda lot more in postseason play.
I'm also going to stick allthree of my picks with the Super
Bowl, the first one beinglongest touchdown under 35 and a
half yards.
The under is six and one in thelast seven years.
These are two top 10 defensesand two teams that don't take a
(34:35):
bunch of shots downfield.
So I like that line a lot, brad, your pick number two.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
All right, all right For my second pick, going with
Chris.
I think this guy's going to geta lot of not only targets but
yards.
I'm taking Dallas Goddard50-plus yards Receiving Sharp
Action Daily Riding.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Dallas, goddard 50-plus yards Receiving Sharp
Action Daily Riding.
Dallas, goddard, reversecowgirl style.
Chris, your second pick.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
For my second pick, I'm going to hockey.
I'm going to take the NewJersey Devils, which will be
tonight when this podcast comesout, over Las Vegas.
It's in New Jersey.
Vegas has won one road game in2025.
Since 12-15 of last year,they've won two road games.
It was at San Jose and at StLouis, who are really bad, and
(35:28):
Aiden Hill, their goalie, haslost four goals in four of the
last five games.
So New Jersey doubles.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Love it.
All right, since Brad was anasshole and took my second pick,
I'm going to do a variation ofit.
All right, since Brad was anasshole and took my second pick,
I'm going to do a variation ofit.
We're going to go with.
Yes, there will be an octopusin the Super Bowl at plus 1,300.
An octopus, for those of youwho do not know, is when a
player scores a touchdown andthe two-point conversion, he has
to do both.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Brad, pick number three Levante Smith 50 plus
receiving yards.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Hitting him again with the player props.
Looking for the 50 plus?
Alright, Chris.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Going to Old Reliable Chiefs money line.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yeah, I gotta ride with you here in a very similar
fashion Again, someone elsetaking my picks.
I'm going to do a variation ofit.
I'm going to take Chiefs by oneto six.
I feel like that's a good valuepick at plus 245.
They seem to win a lot of closegames Moving on big
announcement next week, so Ilook forward to getting into
(36:36):
that with you guys.

I am your host, joey gavick,along with my co-host here, brad
and chris brad.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
How you doing today doing all right, a little under
the weather.
So, uh, I'm gonna be verymonotone and uh, thanks for joe
and chris for spearheading theshow tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Appreciate it so uh, all right, so it's just like, uh
, just like every week.
Chris, how are you doing?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I'm doing good.
He better pull out some jJordan Sick Game shit because
I'm tired of the nonsense he didlast week.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Mr Mopes, all right.
Well, let's get right into ithere.
Obviously, the thing thateverybody wants to talk about
right now is the Luka Doncic andAnthony Davis trade.
Let's jump right into it, surelet's jump right into it.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Sure, I mean, it's pretty simple if you had the
brain capacity to think outsidethe box of why it happened.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Why did it happen, Brad?
I'm lacking the brain capacity.
I need help.
I don't watch the NBA.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Who's the owner of the Dallas Mavericks?
The dude from Shirt I'mblanking on his name.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
It's not.
It's not the dude from Shirtthe Dallas Mavericks Dude from
Shark Tank.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I'm blanking on his name, it's not the dude from
Shark Tank, not anymore.
He sold the team, sold hismajority ownership yeah, who's
the new owner?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I forget her name, but she is the owner, mark Cuban
.
Excuse me, she is Sorry.
Her name is excuse thepronunciation miriam adelson.
She's a billionaire who owns uh, she's the majority owner of
the mavericks.
Um, she also.
(02:39):
The way she made her money wasthrough a casino and, for those
who don't know, you cannotsports bet in Texas.
So my conspiracy theory is thatshe's trying to tank the team
to move them to Vegas to buildher casino resort arena.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
That was the conspiracy theory that they're
going to move to Vegas.
I mean, the stadium is alreadybuilt.
They can play in the GoldenKnights stadium.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, or they could.
I mean they host the Olympicsthere.
I know UNLV is there and theyhost the Summer League, so there
has to be A basketball arenathey can play in temporarily.
There are plenty, you know.
I don't think they.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
What's the stage size of a sphere?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I don't think it's possible?
No, that'd be cool, though Idon't think the seats would be
great, but I think that thatlogic there is a lot less far
fetched or, yeah, a lot less farfetched than they traded Luca
because he's fat and they don'twant to pay him yeah, that's
(04:00):
bullshit the problem.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
That didn't make the thing.
That didn't make any sense.
They didn't call anybody else.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
But you have to.
You have to trade Luka to ateam that you know he'd re-sign
to.
So who else would Luka sign anextension with?
You know, I don't know, theydidn't even ask Well, you're not
going to give up as much as theLakers gave up on a what?
40-game rental.
Whatever it is.
(04:28):
60-game rental.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
He can't even get the Supermax now.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
No, which sucks.
He's going to lose out on like$115 million Wild.
What are your thoughts, Joe?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Regardless.
Honestly, my favorite part ofthe entire thing was Joel Embiid
and Chris Paul coming back toreport for practice and games.
That was kind of an oh shitmoment for them, like fuck, we
better start playing again.
I thought it was awesome andfor as stupid as it looks on
that owner and as bad as itlooks on the Mavericks as an
(05:08):
organization, I think it's goingto be a wake-up call for a lot
of players that hey, I'm notprotected, I can't be traded at
any time.
Clearly it's happened oncebefore.
It can happen again.
Personally, I think it's thebiggest trade since the Brittany
Griner for Merchant of Deathtrade.
So there's that it's cool forthe NBA.
(05:30):
My personal conspiracy is thatthey're getting no clicks, no
views, no watches and they needsomething spicy, because I've
heard more news about the NBA inthe past week than I have in
the last six years.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
It just seemed weird, Like that wasn't enough in my
opinion, but I'm not an NBAsavant over here.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
NoBear went for what?
Four or five first-round draftpicks in a couple players.
Mikael Bridges went for fourjust this past offseason.
Yeah, so I don't get it, it'salways funny, when the NBA is in
disarray, the Lakers alwayshave a superstar.
He goes back to Wilt Magic Shaq, kobe LeBron.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
So is this Luka's team now.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
not LeBron's team anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Oh 100%, it's not LeBron's team anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
oh 100%, it's Luka Doncic's team it has to be
LeBron's going intoLePlayerCoach.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I read somewhere originally Dalton Connect was
also in this deal and thensomehow got whittled down to
just AD yeah, I thought.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I mean I don't know, I mean the mavs are, I don't
know what the fuck they're doing, but I mean they got street
clothes and yeah, the nba isjust a mess jim.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Mess.
Jimmy Butler deciding to justnot play, although maybe he will
now that he got traded.
I don't know that's just weird.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
He just signed a two year extension.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'd hope he'd play until he's unhappy again, I mean
good thing they only did twoyears.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I mean he's burnt out every stop.
He's been at the Bulls, theTimberwolves, the Sixers, the
Heat.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
If players start doing that more, how soon will
non-guaranteed contracts be inthe NBA?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I don't think the NBA is going to exist for much
longer.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I think if they don't do something, they're going to
fold.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I don't know if you've heard rumblings, but I
guess LeBron is spearheading aninternational league.
I think that's going to takethe forefront.
I think the WNBA is going to bethe domestic game is there
enough desire internationally towatch this horseshit basketball
(08:16):
?
No, yes I.
The viewership internationallyis surpassing us domestically.
Look at and just as I mean,this isn't a one-for-one example
, but just look at the lastOlympics, I mean, look, how
close other nations are tobeating us.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
This was arguably one of the best USA teams we ever
put together?
Yeah, but you could also arguethat it's not a real team.
You go to the Olympics.
None of those guys have playedtogether really.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
You're saying those other teams have played together
all the time.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I would think more than us.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah, that's their NBA championship, that's their
goal.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, but I think the people from Lyft Golf are going
to make a big splash ininternational basketball.
I mean, I know it's a smallgroup of kind of older,
washed-out players, but you lookat someone like Dwight Howard,
demarcus Cousins Most recentlyPat Brev went to Greece.
(09:34):
I mean those are three guys whoprobably could have been on an
NBA roster that went overseas.
Jeremy Lin did it.
I mean there's a number.
I just think.
As the ratings dip and the gamebecomes less watchable, it just
(09:55):
I just think the internationalmarket's more prevalent.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Just wait until they find out about college
basketball.
But all right, I've had enoughtalking about the NBA.
I can't stand it.
It's Super Bowl week.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I will be watching the Lakers now though.
I will turn on a Lakers game towatch Luka and LeBron.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I will not.
I still won't Either way.
Moving forward again, it'sSuper Bowl week.
Stop talking about the NBA.
This is what they want and Irefuse to conform.
Super Bowl Sunday we obviouslygot some parties, got stuff
going on.
The atmosphere is great, Roadsare wide open for driving, which
(10:36):
is cool.
If you don't like football, goto a movie theater.
They're fucking empty, but it'salways fun.
I enjoy the atmosphere of SuperBowl Sunday.
What are some of you guys'favorite parts of Super Bowl
parties?
The Super Bowl itself, anythingthat comes to mind Skyline dip.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Let's outside of the Cincinnati area for anyone who
doesn't know what?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
that is?
All the food.
All you do is eat and gamble.
That's it.
That's what Super Bowl Sundayis.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
The worst part is you got to wake up and go to work
the next day.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
That is dumb.
Why is Super Bowl Monday, not aholiday?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
It is, it's going to be.
Goodell said they're working ontaking away two preseason games
, adding a regular season gameso that Super Bowl Sunday would
fall on President.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Martin Luther King Day is the Monday after the
Super Bowl.
President's.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Day.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
President's Day is next week.
No, yeah, so we're adding aweek.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
You just said we're taking away two preseason games,
adding a regular season gameand this.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You're still negative one game.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Well, you probably need another bye if you're going
18.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, so now we're back where we started on this
week.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I also don't think we should go to an 18-game
schedule, but that's adiscussion for another time.
I feel like my problem withSuper Bowl is there's so many
side bets and you just keepdumping in more bets and more
bets.
You gotta win like 10 bets tobreak even, Unless you get some
(12:32):
of the hands.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Are you gonna do the doink?
The what the doink.
What's the doink?
You can bet if there's gonna bea doink or not.
This is ridiculous.
Nobody knows.
He saw one in person.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
At least my team made a playoff game Moving forward.
No, I love the side bets.
I think they're awesome.
Obviously it's a ploy to getyou to dump more money and yes,
we know it's the same thing withhow I've seen 700 gambling ads
on my fucking phone in the lasttwo days.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
You guys saw the United States total handle for
the Super Bowl so far.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I did not.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
It's at $1.46 billion .
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And it's not even something.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I saw it.
I saw it was at $1.3 billionearlier and I'm like Jesus, this
is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It's going to go nowhere but up.
I wouldn't be surprised if it'stripled by kickoff.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, we haven't bet it yet.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I don't think we're contributing a whole lot to that
.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I guarantee you there's a large number of people
out there like us who are notputting bets in on a Wednesday
of Super Bowl week, and it's aheavy majority.
Now your people that areprobably placing your bigger
wagers are, which is why yournumber is so high right now.
Yeah, I could see this numbertripling before kickoff.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Does this country have a gambling?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
problem.
Yes, we're heading straight inthe direction of Australia.
As soon as slot machines gotput into airports, we started
having way more issues, just somany more issues.
What a terrible system.
By the way, who came up withthat?
There was like one guy incharge of all the slot machines
in the airport.
(14:16):
You know what happens if youget a hand pay in those things.
It takes like an hour and ahalf, okay let's back up.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Why are you playing slot machines in an airport?
Because people are fuckingstupid, chris.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I've never done it, but I asked someone the other
day that I know has and I go hey, what happens when you win
money?
Who do you go to the flightattendant Like, hey, I just won
six bands, let me get my dollar.
Like it's not, that can't behow it works.
Like no, someone, there's likeone person there and they have
they're in the middle of theairport and they have to come to
(14:53):
you and I'm like how long doesthis process take?
Like an hour like that soundsoff.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You're gonna miss your flight that sounds on your
hand pay, yeah, no, I'm out.
Also, those are probably someof the tightest slot machines
that are in existence oh, thewin percentages have to be well
below three percent yeah, andthat's terrible again it's.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
But, like I said, as soon as we started putting slot
machines in airports, we becamea gambling, a country with a
gambling problem, which is, Idon't understand how the
government is still losing moneywith how much taxes they've
been collecting, because if youwin money, they collect taxes,
but then if you lose money, theycollect taxes from the casino.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Well, it's easy, because they spend more money
than they take in and theyassume they're going to get more
money from the casino.
Well, it's easy, because theyspend more money than they take
in and they assume they're goingto get more money from the
gambling and they pre-spend it.
It's a problem.
It's like when you're out ofcash in your DraftKings account
and you decide to bet with yourcrowns or whatever the hell they
have.
You have a problem.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
You should just stop gambling.
I don't know anybody I meananybody that would use their
crowns to gamble brad movingforward.
Um, yeah, I'll be honest.
I think some of my favoritethings about the super bowl are
the stupid stuff, like thefucking halftime show memes you
(16:26):
see on Instagram afterwardswhere it's just roasting the
shit out of whoever it is.
Those are always fun.
There's always one player thatlooks like an idiot, which is
fun too.
You get to make fun of amultimillionaire for a couple
minutes Yay, what a puppy bowlBig.
For a couple months.
Yay, wow, poppy Bowl Big.
Fan of the Poppy Bowl here.
I don't fully understand it yet, but I'm going to get there.
(16:49):
I'm going to get there at somepoint this year.
And then what's that?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I think the biggest thing about the Super Bowl is
it's a four-hour escape fromreality, correct?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
And that's all football is, except for on a
regular Sunday.
It's like a 12-hour one andit's way better.
But oh well, see, it's likelook, what are you going to do
now that football's over?
This is my favorite weekend ofthe year and it's also one of my
least.
It's like daylight savings time.
(17:29):
It's like, oh, thank god I getto wake up in the morning and
there's sun, but then it's 4 30and it's dark out.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
You know fuck my wife has openly questioned whether
I'm going to be depressed or notfor the next few months, while
there's no football on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I think I am Like I'm already halfway there since
college football ended.
Nothing's better than Labor Day, weekend and week, zero hits
and like life just feels good.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
But you never go out on Labor Day weekend.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I don't want to go out on any of these, I just want
to watch football.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Mr Potato Head, shut the fuck up.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
No, the best time of the year is the 54 days prior to
Thanksgiving, where there'sfootball on every single day,
every day Greatest time of theyear.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
You get home and you're like I get home now and I
go, I don't know what I'm goingto watch, because it's like 16
NBA games.
I'm not fucking turning thoseon.
And I end up watching FamilyGuy for six straight hours and
I'm like what did I just do withmy life?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
You watch TGL.
That's entertaining.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Kind of yeah, somewhat Sure, they're playing
on a simulator, I can just goand do that myself.
College basketball has beenentertaining, has it?
Do any of these games reallymatter?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
It wasn't entertaining tonight.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Really they do, because they all play in the
fucking conference tournamentanyway.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I mean, I don't know.
Marquette St John's was a hugegame for first place
Michigan-Oregon tonight.
That was a big game.
Tennessee-mizzou is a good game.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Oregon's been getting bounced by everybody in the big
time.
They were only ranked prettyconference season.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Stay away from my ducks.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I'm sorry.
They're great at football,they're just not that good at
basketball.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
They're ranked nine a month ago.
A month ago, they're not rankedanymore.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
They've lost four in a row, yeah, so not that good.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Either way, I will miss football dearly.
I cannot wait until August 31st, when this shit kicks back up
again.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
We just got to survive until March.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'm more worried about after March.
Yeah, that's going to be untilMarch.
I'm more worried about afterMarch.
Yeah, that's going to be abusiness the Masters.
That's it.
You got like a couple of coolgolf tournaments which you can
really only watch on Sunday forlike four hours max, and it's
still pretty fucking boringbecause 90% of the shit is stuff
(20:24):
you don't want to see.
Like the guy who was in 26thplace holes out for birdie from
50 yards off the grid.
It's like great, it doesn'tmatter.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
That's why I got the top tier 11 UA team.
Keep me occupied.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yeah there's that those games don't get streamed
here they do on Game Changer.
Do you want me to startstreaming games?
I?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
literally they already do.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
No, not ours, Like we didn't have an iPad, but I
bought one just so we couldstart streaming.
You're a?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
psychopath.
Do you not believe me?
Did Top Tier reimburse you forsaid payment of iPad?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I'm working on it.
I also bought an.
Apple pencil and a case.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
They don't even pay you for miles.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
And then you tell me you don't have any money.
This is a shocker.
This is money for an iPad, it'slike 600 bones.
An Apple pencil is like 90bucks, ipads are cheap.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Now, dog, I don't know what you're.
You buy a refurbished.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
They're not that cheap.
I just looked at them.
They're like 500 bucks.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
He got the refurbished Gen 3.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
$4.99.
Either way, we're getting offtopic here.
Let's get back to the SuperBowl.
Some fun stuff.
In media day.
Saquon Barkley was maybe goingto sign with the Bears, which is
cool but also sucks at the sametime.
That's like the same time TomBrady said he was almost going
(21:56):
to sign with the Bears.
Great, you didn't.
So why are you telling me this?
Just to make me realize myorganization sucks that much
more he would have wasted Saquon, though.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yeah, he would have been hurt, because he gets hit
in the backfield every time.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Okay, moving forward.
I agree, I 100% agree.
I don't know why he was everconsidering coming to Chicago.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Was he, or is he just saying it?
So it's not like he's chasingSuper Bowls.
Why say it?
I don't know, I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, that's my thing .
It's the same thing with TomBrady.
It's like, dude, that was fouryears ago.
You're retired.
Why are you telling me this?
Why would you have ever came toChicago?
We never had anybody.
At least Tampa had Mike Evansand a good old line and a great
defense Moving forward here.
(22:52):
One of the bigger bets of theweek Super Bowl MVP.
Does anyone have any favoritesfor that?
Anyone they really like Anyvalue plays Taequann.
Does anyone have any favoritesfor that?
Anyone they really like Anyvalue plays Saquon.
I like Jake Elliott at plus40,000.
The dude can't make a fuckingkick.
(23:13):
I don't think he's going tohave to kick one outside of 50
yards all game.
He's going to go four for fourwith two extra points in a game.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Why would they ever kick anything?
Just tush-push.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, but I think we saw against the Commanders and
the Chiefs, against the Bills.
Granted, the Bills don't run atush-push at all, they just run
a regular QB sneak which makesno sense, zero.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
They can get stopped.
Also, I'm interested in howhealthy the eagles center is
going to be.
Oh my god, if they go to push,push against chris jones, how is
he going to survive that?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
he's not, he's just not um, uh, the one prop I do
like is um, it was plus, it wasplus 300.
It's either team tosuccessfully make a two point
conversion.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
We're going to get there later in the podcast when
we get to the picks.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I don't know, Sorry no it's fine, it's just one of
my picks.
I guess I'll change it, noproblem.
Appreciate you though.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
That's hilarious.
You can keep that as your pick.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
No, I had a backup one because I knew Brad was
going to do some dumb shitduring this.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
You said you asked for any prop bets that people
like you came up with it.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That was your own thought.
I didn't ask for any prop bets.
I asked for your Super Bowl MVPvalue plan, which you did not
give me.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
There aren't any, because there aren't any.
If the Chiefs win, it's Mahomes, if the Eagles win, it's Hurts
or Saquon.
There are no other options.
I beg to differ.
All right, what do you gotbesides plus 40,000?
Jake Elliott, our lockers.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
What do you mean?
What else?
That's the biggest value playthere is.
That's not value.
A dollar wins you 400?
I couldn.
That's not value.
A dollar wins you $400?
I couldn't pick any more value.
Put your flip $1 free bet ofthe day.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I think Griffin would have used the $1 better than
that kicker prop.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I don't know about that Moving forward.
I mean, yeah, we could kind of.
Does anyone have a hoop hoopedin your cereal this week?
Because I do.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Seton Hall, do they?
Yeah, brad, let's go with Brad.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Trying to think who hooped in my cereal over the
weekend?
I don't know.
I didn't really bet a whole lotthis weekend bags.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Who is your?
Who pooped in your cereal thisweek?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
my who poops in your cereal is the mississippi state
basketball team at home againstMizzou, minus 300 favorites,
getting bent over by 30 in yourown court by a poverty Mizzou
team To absolutely sell my roundrobin.
You were the worst.
Don't touch basketball everagain.
(26:33):
It was dreadful to watch youplay.
It was almost as hard aswatching me line up and that's
saying something.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Is it just worse because Pat went to Mizzou?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
No, it's worse because it cost me a combined
$600.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Could I run to the Corona Beach Club?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Could I put it on Jake Elliott MVP, but I guess
not.
Honestly, I wish I did, becauseI feel like it has a better
chance than Mississippi Statedid in that game.
And this kind of moves me toanother point here.
How big of an advantage is homecourt in college basketball?
That's astronomical.
Yeah, it seems like sometimesit's massive, Right, how big of
an advantage is home court incollege basketball Is?
Speaker 3 (27:17):
that astronomical?
Yeah, it seems like sometimesit's massive Right.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Unless, your home court is not on campus.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
What like St John's?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
No MSG's.
I'll give St John's theexception there, unless they're
playing UConn.
Okay, I'll give St John's theexception there, unless they're
playing UConn Okay.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Um, that's an interesting study.
I'd like to hear the actualstats on that, because it just
seems insane.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Well, you can look it up, chris.
I think like it doesn't matterwho's playing who.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
It seems like the home team wins 90% of the time.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I think like 8 of 11 Big E schools don't play on
campus.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Really.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah, I think Xavier's one of the only ones
Creighton Paul doesn't play oncampus.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Marquette doesn't Marquette's.
I know it's not on campus, butI would say that's on campus.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I think it's adjacent .
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I think if it's within comfortable walking
distance, that should be oncampus.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I mean, if you got comfortable walking distance,
walking past Jeffrey Dahmer,crank yourself out you're not
there anymore neither is thebuilding.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
They tore it down.
Anyway, we're getting off track.
We are Again.
We're still talking about theright thing here, which is how
massive what's going to happenwhen we get into conference
tournaments and March Madness.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
What do you want to know about the conference
tournaments?
I'll let you know right now.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Nothing, I'm just saying Home court advantage is
gone.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Correct, which is great.
That's why March of Madness andBrad.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Partial home court's gone.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Majority of home court is gone.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
You have what St John's plays at their home
stadium.
Vanderbilt gets to play inNashville, duke and North
Carolina get to play in NorthCarolina and Greensboro, purdue
(29:31):
gets home games in Indianapolis.
I'm just saying, but carry on.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
You're right.
A majority of home courtadvantage is taken away, and
then, once we get to MarchMadness, even more of it is
taken away, and as you digdeeper into the tournament, it's
all gone.
So I'm very, very curious tosee how it's going to play out.
I feel like there's going to bea lot of upsets this year.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I think it depends where teams get seeded.
I think the more mature coachesand teams that have been there
before will do well, I like, Ithink, like I was looking at a
bracket the other day, it waslike Purdue is a two seed that
would have to play UConn in thesecond round.
You're going to think Dan earlyis, like I, two seed that would
have to play UConn in thesecond round.
You're going to think Dan Earlyis going to have the boys buzz
(30:20):
in to play Purdue without ZachEady.
Okay, sure, I'll take that one.
Michigan State Izzo January.
February.
Izzo April.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
The dude is March I like Alabama to cut down the
nuts to keep my dream shotparlay alive.
Yeah, again, I'm glad you'rebringing up the brackets because
I'm curious.
I know you guys have had a lotof success batting conference
(30:54):
tournaments and I've kind ofridden that, at least last year.
What do you think is easier,conference tournaments or
Marshmallows?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It's a bet.
Huh, what would you say ispretty equal, Less variability.
In conference tournamentsYou're getting teams playing for
a third time.
You usually know the matchupsand the players pretty well, but
the lines are more precise.
I still think conferencetournaments is pretty better.
I know Georgetown was the onlyteam to make it from the first
(31:35):
day all the way to thechampionship team to make it
from the first day all the wayto the championship.
I just know teams with the buysusually fare off better in the
conference tournaments.
But I don't know, Chris yourthoughts.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
I liked the first two games of the big tournament.
I thought those were easierlast year.
But I mean of the turn of thebig tournament, I thought those
were easier last year, but Imean it wasn't.
There wasn't too many hugeupsets, I don't think from the
first week, at least not that Iwas involved in.
What do you mean?
We had oakland, which was, yeah, most of my bets were, I think,
(32:12):
favorites in the first twoweeks, although tennessee
screwed me last year.
I couldn't cover the spread.
I was in North Carolina theweek they legalized gambling.
That was the opening round ofthe tournament it was awesome.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
It's a big weekend for North Carolina to open up.
That was well planned by them.
I'll be honest with you I gotnothing else.
College basketball wise, did Imiss anything?
Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Andy Reid off a bye Sirianni revenge game.
You want to talk about the bigdumb dipshit, chris?
No, I think I've harked on himenough.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I think we move it on into the picks here in which
you want to talk about the bigdumb dip shit, chris.
No, I think I've harkened onhim enough.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I think we move it on into the picks here and wish
everyone a good luck on Sunday.
All right, chris, you let usoff.
Last week I had Brad go last,because I'm a piece of shit,
brad.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
We're on down.
We had a winning week last week.
We're inching closer back to500.
I went 2-1.
Joe went 2-1.
And Chris went 1-2.
And yeah, I won't, I'll juststop there.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
You're not going to lead us off with what your pick
is.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Sure, sunday morning Big game, the big game.
I would be taking One momentplease.
I'll be taking Crystal PalaceMoneyline against Everton.
Who's at home for that game?
Huh, who's at home?
Everton is at home.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Chris, For my first pick, I'm going to just go to
the Super Bowl and I'm going totake Dallas Goddard over four
and a half catches.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Good line, good line.
I feel like tight ends are useda lot more in postseason play.
I'm also going to stick allthree of my picks with the Super
Bowl, the first one beinglongest touchdown under 35 and a
half yards.
The under is six and one in thelast seven years.
These are two top 10 defensesand two teams that don't take a
(34:35):
bunch of shots downfield.
So I like that line a lot, brad, your pick number two.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
All right, all right For my second pick, going with
Chris.
I think this guy's going to geta lot of not only targets but
yards.
I'm taking Dallas Goddard50-plus yards Receiving Sharp
Action Daily Riding.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Dallas, goddard 50-plus yards Receiving Sharp
Action Daily Riding.
Dallas, goddard, reversecowgirl style.
Chris, your second pick.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
For my second pick, I'm going to hockey.
I'm going to take the NewJersey Devils, which will be
tonight when this podcast comesout, over Las Vegas.
It's in New Jersey.
Vegas has won one road game in2025.
Since 12-15 of last year,they've won two road games.
It was at San Jose and at StLouis, who are really bad, and
(35:28):
Aiden Hill, their goalie, haslost four goals in four of the
last five games.
So New Jersey doubles.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Love it.
All right, since Brad was anasshole and took my second pick,
I'm going to do a variation ofit.
All right, since Brad was anasshole and took my second pick,
I'm going to do a variation ofit.
We're going to go with.
Yes, there will be an octopusin the Super Bowl at plus 1,300.
An octopus, for those of youwho do not know, is when a
player scores a touchdown andthe two-point conversion, he has
to do both.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Brad, pick number three Levante Smith 50 plus
receiving yards.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Hitting him again with the player props.
Looking for the 50 plus?
Alright, Chris.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Going to Old Reliable Chiefs money line.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yeah, I gotta ride with you here in a very similar
fashion Again, someone elsetaking my picks.
I'm going to do a variation ofit.
I'm going to take Chiefs by oneto six.
I feel like that's a good valuepick at plus 245.
They seem to win a lot of closegames Moving on big
announcement next week, so Ilook forward to getting into
(36:36):
that with you guys.
