The Masters Tournament takes center stage as our hosts passionately debate whether the playoff finish delivered true excitement or merely masked disappointing performances from the leaders. Justin Rose emerged victorious, but questions linger about whether Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau choked away their opportunities on Sunday's back nine.
College football's transfer portal and Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) policies receive intense scrutiny as the panel examines UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava's contract demands and Colorado's controversial decision to retire Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders' jerseys. "This is the Wild West of college football," one host remarks as they explore how the sport's landscape has fundamentally changed without proper regulation or oversight.
The conversation shifts to NHL playoff matchups, with special attention on the "Battle of Florida" between Tampa Bay and Florida Panthers, plus Toronto facing Ottawa in what could be the Maple Leafs' best chance to advance in years. Could we finally see a Canadian team hoist the Stanley Cup?
The podcast wraps with actionable betting advice spanning multiple sports. Their MLB analysis reveals home favorites are winning 67% of games outright, while specific teams like the Blue Jays (14-4 against the run line) and Rockies (4-13) offer clear betting opportunities. Whether you're looking for NHL series bets, European soccer plays, or golf tournament insights, our experts provide detailed picks with solid reasoning behind each selection.

Post master's week.
Pre bags dinner.
Fellas, how are we this eveningFucking terrible?
(01:13):
Oh, coming out hot.
What do we got going on?
Uh, we have the semi-final setfor the uefa.
Uh, you're sorry, the europaleague.
Uh, chris, do you know thedifference between extra time
(01:33):
and added time?
Yeah, if it's tight it goesinto extra time after the added
time of regulation, when theydecide a rough guesstimate of
how much stoppage time we had toadd on to regulation time.
So they're both more time addedat the end of 90 minutes
correct, chris.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Do you know what another word for added time is
extra time?
No, no, you said it in yourstatement.
Stop it's.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what it's called.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Exactly yes, perfect Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Oh yeah, uh, we're going.
I guess we're uh not gonna keeparguing about that.
Uh, moving on, we had the mostelectric masters, at least of my
viewing experience.
The Tiger one was cool, but itdid not have the drama of this
(02:30):
one.
So, joey, I will first startwith you.
Would you like to offer anapology?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I want to apologize to all the listeners that had to
hear Brad just call that one ofthe most exciting Masters of
all time.
We watched the leaders go acombined four over on a Sunday
at the Masters.
The only guy that did anythingto deserve winning a trophy was
Justin Rose.
So no, I didn't find it veryexciting and no, I won't
(03:06):
apologize.
He still choked, exactly how weexpected him to.
So you're not going toapologize for it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Isn't he supposed to win?
Because he won.
He was the guy that won,correct?
No, he won Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
He still choked, exactly how we expected him to.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
After he hit those two bad drives and then the
miracle recovery shots and hewas jacked up.
I thought there was no way hewas losing.
And then the wheels fell off.
He got bailed out by that ballNot rolling into the water,
correct, it was wild.
It was wild.
It was still exciting.
(03:49):
He brought everybody back intoit by choking.
And then Bryson, I think, justpushed because he thought he had
to push and screwed himself.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
What I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
How was that the not most?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
entertaining.
It was entertaining the twoleaders.
The matchup of the year thateveryone's wanted to see since
the US Open.
True to a Phil versus Tigerscore of a combined four over.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It went to a playoff.
We had a guy have a phenomenalday and come back and tie the
lead.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh, which, by the way , way, he also choked the lead.
So yeah, congratulations.
I'm very happy.
I'm a big justin rose fan.
Um, he did everything hepossibly could to win that
trophy on a sunday, which iswhat I want to see.
I don't want to see guysshooting fucking four over,
three over and one over onSunday at the Masters.
(04:49):
I promise you the course isn'tplaying that hard if Justin Rose
can shoot six under.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, but if Rory goes five under, that's a
terribly boring day.
I disagree Because he wins by10.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I wanted to see Rory and Bryson duke it out.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah, but Bryson choked, and if Rory had a good
day it would have been boring ashell.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
If he had a good day, he'd shout one over.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
It wasn't a good day it was a bad day, Chris.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I'm not saying that would have made an exciting
Masters if Rory went five under.
I'm saying what would have madeit the most exciting Masters
possible was if Bryson and Roryboth shot six under and Bryson
loses by two.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
The first four, five holes, whatever those were,
those were very exciting.
Yeah, two shots back and thosewere very yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Two shots.
It works back and forth.
Yeah, absolutely.
And then it was just a chokejob from there on it.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
How do you want?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Bryson lip player.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Dude, you had a lot of you up there you had Rose, up
there you had fucking.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Patrick Reed come out of the woods.
Yeah, how is that not a luxury?
Two shots back.
He was never even close, youjust said two shots is exciting.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You said if Rory would beat Bryson by two shots
that would be good.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, but Patrick Reed was nowhere near ever in it
.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And then he screwed you.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
He was three shots back until Rory made a bogey on
18.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
How did he miss that putt?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Because he's Rory fucking McElroy.
What do you mean?
How do we miss that putt?
I'm not even sure the putt wasthe bad one.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
The dropping into the bunker on the shot before was
the real issue.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
His hands were shaking like that dude from ASU
had to take a piss in thefucking creek.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Joey, what's your problem with Rory?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Can we talk about this guy Balestero?
Is that how you say it?
I heard he's on a.
Can we talk about this guyBalestero?
Is that how you?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
say it Luis Balestero , balestero.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I heard he's on a plane back in El.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Salvador.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
He's from Spain.
Just want to say I have zeroissue with the Sun Devils hat.
Zero.
There is nothing wrong withthat, and for anyone saying
there is, doesn't know.
Golf.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Wait, why are they saying something is wrong with
it?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You didn't see the upside down sun devils.
No Miss, Big big thing.
People were up in arms about it.
Taking a piss in Rays Creek,however, you know how we got
issues.
You can't.
Rays Creek, however, you knowwe got issues, you can't.
Did he talk?
Did he ask somebody Like, hey,is this okay?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I'm not sure he cared .
I think he had to go and he wasgoing.
There's a port-a-potty rightbehind that green.
Well then, I don't know what hewas doing.
There's a port-a-potty rightbehind that green Then.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I don't know what he was doing.
Man, it definitely takes a lotof balls to do that at the
Masters in front of a crown.
I mean that was one of the moreshocking things I've ever heard
.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Almost as much balls as Nico Yamaneva asking for $4
million a year.
And then UCLA is giving himnowhere near that, and that's
the only place he's going to beable to play.
What did he end up getting?
Did the number come out?
I think it's like 1.7 to play.
What did he end up getting?
Did the number come out?
I think it's like 1.7 to 2.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
That's way more than what he should be getting.
I think he's getting more thanTennessee.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
He should be getting 2.4.
That's way more than he shouldbe getting.
I don't understand.
I get that people arecomplaining.
Why are you mad at him forchasing his value?
I'm mad at him because hesigned a four-year deal.
This is what we're going tohave to start doing.
These have to be contracts.
(09:14):
It can't be.
Oh, I signed a four-year dealbut I want out and I'm going to
go look for more money.
That just is the NFL.
And then why wouldn't we justdo that?
That just is the NFL.
And then why wouldn't we justdo that?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Well, what if I signed a four-year contract for
2.4 million a year, but I wantto declare for the draft after
year three?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
go for it.
I think that's your right.
You're not going to anothercompetitor, so it's a.
It's more like a non-competethan a.
I also love the SEC rule thatyou can't transfer within the
conference.
You have to sit out a year ifyou don't, which is going to be
(09:59):
rough because I assume the SECis going to be 40 teams.
Yeah, they're going to be 40teams?
Yeah, they're going to play 40.
They're going, they're going.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Bama's going to have Washington, utah and Clemson on
their home schedule and Mercer.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I mean, this is still college, right?
Like what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
No.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
As Cardell Jones said , I didn't come here to play
school.
Yeah, and where are you now?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Are these kids still doing homework?
Like are we enforcing academiceligibility now?
Absolutely, these kids stilldoing homework.
Like are we enforcing academiceligibility now?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
There's no way.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
How do you tell a kid making $2.4 million that?
He has to do his accountinghomework, Go to class Also.
I think we should probably stopcalling them kids and I know I
keep doing it also but they'reprofessionals now they're
getting paid to play a game.
A lot of money, A lot of money.
(11:18):
They should just I'll see RothIRA combined.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
They should just Roth IRA combined.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I don't want to hear it.
Compared to coaches, that's notthe same thing what is a career
?
You don't even know what mycomparison was going to be.
I didn't even hear you weregoing to compare it.
Go ahead.
I think what they should do isput all the people in the
(11:48):
transfer portal.
You put all the NIL money intoa big piggy bank and they just
do Squid Games and whoever winsthe Portal Squid Games gets all
the money.
You're a lunatic.
Why I don't?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
know.
I think there are limitationsyou can put on the portal, one
of them being you get one ticket.
Like you get one token to enterthe transfer portal, you can't
enter it again after that,that's it they'll never be able
to get that through because,you're hurting a player's
ability to make money, andthat's unconstitutional.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Because what happens if, okay, joe, let's say you
transfer to Oklahoma and thenthe coach leaves, and then the
new coach comes in and brings inall his dudes, you can use the
same free transfer rule you havenow, I guess.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
You can still transfer Sure.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
So do we leave in grad school?
And coach leaving Gives you anextra token.
Yes, I think so.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
What are the stipulations on coach leaving.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Well, if a coach leaves, you should get another
token to leave yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
How far down the coaching chain.
Do we go?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Is it just head coach ?
Yeah, head coach, or OC.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Or did I join the transfer portal in April, sign
in May, coach leave in June?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Well, a coach isn't going to leave in June.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Okay, so then I play the full year.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I think if it's the head coach or your position
coach, you should get a token.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Still didn't answer my question.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
What was your question?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I play the full year.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Correct Gotcha, we're out a full year correct gotcha
okay, we're out okay, you playeda full year.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
What's your?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
question.
I don't get it.
I mean, you've got one tokenevery year.
What?
What do you?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
do you know?
I was asked to play a littlebit.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
So it can't be a you signed over summer and the coach
left before the year orsomething.
They fired him or whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Either way.
I think that is the problem,though right, there's no
legislation of this, noenforcement, no any there's no
rules.
It's great all this, and thenwe'd like to blame the ncaa.
We spent the last 10 yearstaking away every right.
The ncaa has to punish anybody,to enforce any rules or do
anything, and now, all of asudden, it's their fault that
(14:43):
they're not regulating this.
They don't have any teethanymore.
You need some governing body,though, and none of these
conferences are going to agreeto anything, so it doesn't
really matter.
I don't know how they're goingto do this.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
This is the Wild West of college football At some
point.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
something's going to happen, but it might not be for
10 years.
I don't know how youre-regulate this without somehow
making a governing body thatbasically puts a salary cap on
it, and even then they're goingto argue that that's
unconstitutional because it'snot allowing players to make the
maximum amount that they shouldbe or can.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Well then, just leave it like this and make it the
NFL Doesn't matter, it's an NFLthat plays on.
Saturdays with 300 teams.
As a guy who gambles, I'm coolwith that.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That's fine yeah, or just start another football
league that plays on saturdays.
That's not related to collegeand like the guys right out of
high school like the xfl uh, Idon't want.
I want collegeage kids, whichwill be definitely
(16:10):
discrimination and will never beallowed.
But you want a place that kidscan go and play and get paid and
develop.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Like a minor league baseball.
You go right out of high schoolwith that.
Like a minor league baseballyou go right out of high school
to that.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I guess you got like a double A and a triple A,
something Kind of like how youhave mid-majors, yeah, at least
they're regulated differentlyBasketball and all this, you
know I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I don't know what the right answer is, but we're
approaching territory where wecan't go back.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I get paid zero money to sit here and figure this out
.
There are people that do getpaid money to do it, though.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Well, patience is a virtue you could get paid one
day, joe, you never know.
You never know.
Just go on another date toDisney World and keep pumping
these numbers.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I need to fund a Disney ticket somehow.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
There you go so now, if Nico has two decent years at
UCLA, are they going to retirehis jersey, like they are for
Travis, hunter and Shador inColorado?
Yeah, I was going to bring upyour two favorite people from
(17:53):
Boulder.
I don't understand.
What have they done to earn ajersey retirement?
I don't get what.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Shador, did I get what Travis did?
Now, I don't think he retiredhis jersey before he even gets
drafted to the NFL.
However, he's got to be whatthe first Colorado player to win
a Heisman ever, or in the last50 years no Rashawn Salon won
(18:22):
one, didn't he?
No, he didn't win it, he didn'twin it.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
We're going to have to fact check that one.
So, after fact checking,rashawn Salon did actually win
the 1994 Heisman Trophy.
His jersey is retired, though,to be fair, so I don't mind
Travis Hunter, I guess, gettingretired, since he won a Heisman,
I still think it's fast, superfast, I mean he's.
Since he won a Heisman, I stillthink it's fast, super fast I
(18:49):
haven't waited for any, andthese are two seasons of
Colorado football that are what?
13 and 12?
And you have a player who worenumber two, that won a national
(19:09):
championship and is in thecollege football hall of fame
and beyond figures, I believe ishis name.
Who?
Doesn't get his Jersey retired.
So it seems a little ridiculous, and if you're pissing off your
own school's alumni might be aproblem.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Definitely a little bit of a problem.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
So when Prime leaves, do you think they un-retire
Shador?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I sure hope so.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
But that's not the.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
That's not the.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
That's not the quickest collegiate jersey
retirement that I've seen in thelast year.
I don't know what else did wedo?
My least favorite athlete hadhis jersey retired on his senior
day while he was still playing.
Who is your least favoriteathlete?
(20:07):
Zach Eaddy.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Oh yeah, that's right , the dude bothers me.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Wasn't he like three-time player of the year,
or something?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Two-time yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Never won the big one , though Rory did, eadie never
did.
Shador and Hunter have nevermade it to the playoff to get to
the big one, but I mean Edielost to a 16 seed and a 14 seed.
Shador's won a bowl game, yeah,but he redeemed himself.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Edie went to a national championship redeemed
himself, but dude, they gotwaxed.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Oh for sure, he didn't even win a national
championship, or deemed himself,but dude, they got waxed.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Oh for sure Nobody was beating that UConn team,
though no.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
No, but anything else on Shador and Travis Hunter's
jerseys.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
No.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
That probably shouldn't be real.
I just think it's too quick.
Let's talk about another thingthat I think is very dumb the
NBA playing games.
What?
Yeah, I don't get that, I don'tknow what you don't get five
years in a row for Trey Young.
All we care about is more money.
That's it right.
(21:28):
That's it right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
That's it.
It's money Jerry gets to.
Jerry Bransdorf gets to say hehas a team that made the
playoffs my bad, the Play-Ins.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Hey.
The Bulls haven't won a realplayoff game since D-Rose, I
believe.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah Home playoff game.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Home playoff game since D-Rose, I believe.
Yeah, home playoff game.
Home playoff game since D-Rose.
Yet the Nuggets are firingtheir coach that won an NBA
championship two years ago.
Yeah, billy Donovan still hashis job.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Did you know that on the Bulls' home rally titles it
didn't say 2025 playoffs, itsaid 2025 postseason, because
they can't technically putplayoffs on there?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
That's hilarious Because it happens after the
regular season.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
It's like added time, chris, that's where I was going
.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Glenn, give me a bottle all the way.
We've come full circle.
What do we have?
Joe?
Come full circle, joe.
Nhl playoff matchups are set, Ithink yes battle of Quebec and
(22:43):
the battle of Florida.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Tampa and Florida playing some shit hockey lately.
Florida, tampa and Florida.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Florida's been playing some shit hockey lately.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
And then Ottawa and the.
Maple Leafs yeah, the MapleLeafs are going to curse off
them.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Are you sure?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
It's the Maple Leafs.
This is the first year in NHLhistory that the Red Wings, the
Penguins and the Bruins eachhaven't made the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, and the last time that happened the Leafs won
the Cup.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
The East is the weakest it's ever been, right
now.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Why the Caps are good .
Dude, the Florida teams aregood.
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Tampa sucks.
They're inconsistent as shit,and so is Florida.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
But they got Kachuk.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
The only team I could see coming out of the East is
the Maple Leafs, or maybe theCaps, if they can get some solid
goaltending for 12 games.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Are we going to get a Canadian team to win the Cup?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I could see a Toronto-Edmonton Stanley Cup
championship.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
The Canadians- would love it.
It would be a double middlefinger to America oh, right
after the Nations Cup game tooyou mean the exhibition game?
That didn't matter it meant alot it didn't mean shit.
It was an exhibition.
It was like added time it wasan exhibition.
(24:28):
We're getting ready for theOlympics when it counts.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I mean it was a great idea.
Whoever came up, it was awesome.
That was.
That was Canada's 1980 miraclegame.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Joe any hot-pressing sports topics.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Hot-pressing sports topics.

To go, Joe.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Let's go.
12 of you.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
What's the count on how many games the White Sox
have to go?
I need?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
51 more wins.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
If they can play Boston every series, you got a
shot.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
That shit's dead.
Oh, they're playing them againthis weekend.
In Boston.
Speaker 2 (26:09):

Good spot for him.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Oh, by the way, that's plus 110.
Brad still doesn't know whatplus numbers Look like.
All three of mine are plusmoney.
You want to make money?
You're right, with bags.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I literally gave out plus money picks last week.
You did not.
For my third pick, I'm going totake Toronto Blue Jays money
line.
They are not the favorite, butI can't take the run line
because it doesn't meet thecriteria.
So we're going Blue Jays moneylines minus 102.
What is the criteria?
(35:37):
150, I think, is what you guyssaid before I came along.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
You want to take them plus one and a half.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Blue Jays are 14 and four against the run line.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Side note take the run line if you want, but Chris
can't count it towards the picks.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Thank, you for my third and final pick staying on
the pitch.
Staying on the pitch.
We are going to league 3 play.
What the hell is a league 3?
No, I'm just kidding.
We're going to the prem.
We are taking Manchester City.
What the hell is a League 3?
No, I'm just kidding, we'regoing to the Prem.
(36:20):
We are taking Manchester CityMoneyline against Everton Minus
110.
See how much more peaceful itis without bags.
What just happened out?
(36:41):
I guess he.
He did this to himself, but Nottoo many more of these episodes
left huh, what about self inthe butter box?
Yeah, but we're approachingsummer, that means season five
is fastly approaching.
(37:01):
Can't wait, can't wait.
Maybe we'll go to some nfltraining camps, chris, do some,
do some reporting, checking withthe scouts tra Travis Hunter at
the Cleveland Browns practice.
Oh, I don't know how we Sorry.
I don't know why we didn'tbring this up.
Flacco back in the building,let's go.
(37:23):
Flacco is back in the building.
That's awesome Is he serving.
Or is he duking it out withKenny Tugelhoff?
Yeah, slide, kenny.
With, uh, kenny, two glove.
Yeah, slide, kenny.
But what do you?
Deshawn said he's gonna silencethe haters by giving back money
(37:48):
I don't know if it was that orhe's gonna, you know, pay off
his massage people.
He's married now, or something,isn't he?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
engaged yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
I don't know, I don't know, but yeah, exciting stuff
for the Browns.
Hopefully Chubb comes back, butwe'll see NFL schedule release.
We'll definitely have a podcastthat week.
It's a month from today, or,sorry, it comes out May 15th, so
a little less than a month, butwe'll be seeing Chris any stats
(38:31):
to close this out here.
Yeah, I got some good stuff foryou.
So far in MLB I mean up untilTuesday, over and unders have
been pretty much 50-50 theentire way.
Had a run of unders recently.
It's 137 unders so far, 128overs, so it's 52-48
(38:56):
percentage-wise wise.
So betting unders and overs hasbeen difficult.
Um, home home favorites arewinning outright 67 percent of
the time.
They're 124 and 62.
Yeah, you're giving up somemoney with the juice, but it
seems like they're winningenough to compensate for that.
(39:17):
Home teams in general arewinning 61% of the time.
As far as against the run line,it's pretty well balanced
throughout.
Home dogs are actually coveringat 60% of the time.
So, yeah, I mean you're alsolosing juice getting the plus
one and a half, but again, uh,might be worth it if you pick
(39:41):
your spots.
Yeah, uh, white socks, we canstart dating them or not, yet,
not yet.
They're actually not that badagainst the run line.
They are nine and eight againstthe run line, so it's hard to
fade them.
Yet I think we're still in teamtotal under territory now,
(40:04):
though they just don't scoreenough, so we can start doing
that, okay.
Uh, your big ones that are rightnow winning against the run
line are the Blue Jays andPadres.
Blue Jays are 14-4.
Padres are 13-5 against the runline.
Obviously, we mentioned theRockies are 4-13 against the run
(40:26):
line, so fade them repeatedly.
The Orioles are 5-11.
Pirates are 6-12.
There's a couple other badteams, but it's not.
I mean, you're approaching eventerritory there.
Well, man, we didn't even givean NBA playoffs preview.
It shows how much we care.
(40:47):

Pre bags dinner.
Fellas, how are we this eveningFucking terrible?
(01:13):
Oh, coming out hot.
What do we got going on?
Uh, we have the semi-final setfor the uefa.
Uh, you're sorry, the europaleague.
Uh, chris, do you know thedifference between extra time
(01:33):
and added time?
Yeah, if it's tight it goesinto extra time after the added
time of regulation, when theydecide a rough guesstimate of
how much stoppage time we had toadd on to regulation time.
So they're both more time addedat the end of 90 minutes
correct, chris.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Do you know what another word for added time is
extra time?
No, no, you said it in yourstatement.
Stop it's.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what it's called.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Exactly yes, perfect Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Oh yeah, uh, we're going.
I guess we're uh not gonna keeparguing about that.
Uh, moving on, we had the mostelectric masters, at least of my
viewing experience.
The Tiger one was cool, but itdid not have the drama of this
(02:30):
one.
So, joey, I will first startwith you.
Would you like to offer anapology?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I want to apologize to all the listeners that had to
hear Brad just call that one ofthe most exciting Masters of
all time.
We watched the leaders go acombined four over on a Sunday
at the Masters.
The only guy that did anythingto deserve winning a trophy was
Justin Rose.
So no, I didn't find it veryexciting and no, I won't
(03:06):
apologize.
He still choked, exactly how weexpected him to.
So you're not going toapologize for it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Isn't he supposed to win?
Because he won.
He was the guy that won,correct?
No, he won Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
He still choked, exactly how we expected him to.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
After he hit those two bad drives and then the
miracle recovery shots and hewas jacked up.
I thought there was no way hewas losing.
And then the wheels fell off.
He got bailed out by that ballNot rolling into the water,
correct, it was wild.
It was wild.
It was still exciting.
(03:49):
He brought everybody back intoit by choking.
And then Bryson, I think, justpushed because he thought he had
to push and screwed himself.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
What I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
How was that the not most?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
entertaining.
It was entertaining the twoleaders.
The matchup of the year thateveryone's wanted to see since
the US Open.
True to a Phil versus Tigerscore of a combined four over.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It went to a playoff.
We had a guy have a phenomenalday and come back and tie the
lead.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh, which, by the way , way, he also choked the lead.
So yeah, congratulations.
I'm very happy.
I'm a big justin rose fan.
Um, he did everything hepossibly could to win that
trophy on a sunday, which iswhat I want to see.
I don't want to see guysshooting fucking four over,
three over and one over onSunday at the Masters.
(04:49):
I promise you the course isn'tplaying that hard if Justin Rose
can shoot six under.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, but if Rory goes five under, that's a
terribly boring day.
I disagree Because he wins by10.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I wanted to see Rory and Bryson duke it out.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah, but Bryson choked, and if Rory had a good
day it would have been boring ashell.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
If he had a good day, he'd shout one over.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
It wasn't a good day it was a bad day, Chris.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I'm not saying that would have made an exciting
Masters if Rory went five under.
I'm saying what would have madeit the most exciting Masters
possible was if Bryson and Roryboth shot six under and Bryson
loses by two.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
The first four, five holes, whatever those were,
those were very exciting.
Yeah, two shots back and thosewere very yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Two shots.
It works back and forth.
Yeah, absolutely.
And then it was just a chokejob from there on it.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
How do you want?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Bryson lip player.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Dude, you had a lot of you up there you had Rose, up
there you had fucking.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Patrick Reed come out of the woods.
Yeah, how is that not a luxury?
Two shots back.
He was never even close, youjust said two shots is exciting.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You said if Rory would beat Bryson by two shots
that would be good.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, but Patrick Reed was nowhere near ever in it
.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And then he screwed you.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
He was three shots back until Rory made a bogey on
18.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
How did he miss that putt?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Because he's Rory fucking McElroy.
What do you mean?
How do we miss that putt?
I'm not even sure the putt wasthe bad one.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
The dropping into the bunker on the shot before was
the real issue.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
His hands were shaking like that dude from ASU
had to take a piss in thefucking creek.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Joey, what's your problem with Rory?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Can we talk about this guy Balestero?
Is that how you say it?
I heard he's on a.
Can we talk about this guyBalestero?
Is that how you?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
say it Luis Balestero , balestero.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I heard he's on a plane back in El.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Salvador.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
He's from Spain.
Just want to say I have zeroissue with the Sun Devils hat.
Zero.
There is nothing wrong withthat, and for anyone saying
there is, doesn't know.
Golf.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Wait, why are they saying something is wrong with
it?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You didn't see the upside down sun devils.
No Miss, Big big thing.
People were up in arms about it.
Taking a piss in Rays Creek,however, you know how we got
issues.
You can't.
Rays Creek, however, you knowwe got issues, you can't.
Did he talk?
Did he ask somebody Like, hey,is this okay?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I'm not sure he cared .
I think he had to go and he wasgoing.
There's a port-a-potty rightbehind that green.
Well then, I don't know what hewas doing.
There's a port-a-potty rightbehind that green Then.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I don't know what he was doing.
Man, it definitely takes a lotof balls to do that at the
Masters in front of a crown.
I mean that was one of the moreshocking things I've ever heard
.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Almost as much balls as Nico Yamaneva asking for $4
million a year.
And then UCLA is giving himnowhere near that, and that's
the only place he's going to beable to play.
What did he end up getting?
Did the number come out?
I think it's like 1.7 to play.
What did he end up getting?
Did the number come out?
I think it's like 1.7 to 2.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
That's way more than what he should be getting.
I think he's getting more thanTennessee.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
He should be getting 2.4.
That's way more than he shouldbe getting.
I don't understand.
I get that people arecomplaining.
Why are you mad at him forchasing his value?
I'm mad at him because hesigned a four-year deal.
This is what we're going tohave to start doing.
These have to be contracts.
(09:14):
It can't be.
Oh, I signed a four-year dealbut I want out and I'm going to
go look for more money.
That just is the NFL.
And then why wouldn't we justdo that?
That just is the NFL.
And then why wouldn't we justdo that?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Well, what if I signed a four-year contract for
2.4 million a year, but I wantto declare for the draft after
year three?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
go for it.
I think that's your right.
You're not going to anothercompetitor, so it's a.
It's more like a non-competethan a.
I also love the SEC rule thatyou can't transfer within the
conference.
You have to sit out a year ifyou don't, which is going to be
(09:59):
rough because I assume the SECis going to be 40 teams.
Yeah, they're going to be 40teams?
Yeah, they're going to play 40.
They're going, they're going.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Bama's going to have Washington, utah and Clemson on
their home schedule and Mercer.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I mean, this is still college, right?
Like what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
No.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
As Cardell Jones said , I didn't come here to play
school.
Yeah, and where are you now?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Are these kids still doing homework?
Like are we enforcing academiceligibility now?
Absolutely, these kids stilldoing homework.
Like are we enforcing academiceligibility now?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
There's no way.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
How do you tell a kid making $2.4 million that?
He has to do his accountinghomework, Go to class Also.
I think we should probably stopcalling them kids and I know I
keep doing it also but they'reprofessionals now they're
getting paid to play a game.
A lot of money, A lot of money.
(11:18):
They should just I'll see RothIRA combined.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
They should just Roth IRA combined.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I don't want to hear it.
Compared to coaches, that's notthe same thing what is a career
?
You don't even know what mycomparison was going to be.
I didn't even hear you weregoing to compare it.
Go ahead.
I think what they should do isput all the people in the
(11:48):
transfer portal.
You put all the NIL money intoa big piggy bank and they just
do Squid Games and whoever winsthe Portal Squid Games gets all
the money.
You're a lunatic.
Why I don't?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
know.
I think there are limitationsyou can put on the portal, one
of them being you get one ticket.
Like you get one token to enterthe transfer portal, you can't
enter it again after that,that's it they'll never be able
to get that through because,you're hurting a player's
ability to make money, andthat's unconstitutional.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Because what happens if, okay, joe, let's say you
transfer to Oklahoma and thenthe coach leaves, and then the
new coach comes in and brings inall his dudes, you can use the
same free transfer rule you havenow, I guess.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
You can still transfer Sure.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
So do we leave in grad school?
And coach leaving Gives you anextra token.
Yes, I think so.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
What are the stipulations on coach leaving.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Well, if a coach leaves, you should get another
token to leave yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
How far down the coaching chain.
Do we go?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Is it just head coach ?
Yeah, head coach, or OC.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Or did I join the transfer portal in April, sign
in May, coach leave in June?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Well, a coach isn't going to leave in June.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Okay, so then I play the full year.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I think if it's the head coach or your position
coach, you should get a token.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Still didn't answer my question.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
What was your question?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I play the full year.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Correct Gotcha, we're out a full year correct gotcha
okay, we're out okay, you playeda full year.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
What's your?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
question.
I don't get it.
I mean, you've got one tokenevery year.
What?
What do you?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
do you know?
I was asked to play a littlebit.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
So it can't be a you signed over summer and the coach
left before the year orsomething.
They fired him or whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Either way.
I think that is the problem,though right, there's no
legislation of this, noenforcement, no any there's no
rules.
It's great all this, and thenwe'd like to blame the ncaa.
We spent the last 10 yearstaking away every right.
The ncaa has to punish anybody,to enforce any rules or do
anything, and now, all of asudden, it's their fault that
(14:43):
they're not regulating this.
They don't have any teethanymore.
You need some governing body,though, and none of these
conferences are going to agreeto anything, so it doesn't
really matter.
I don't know how they're goingto do this.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
This is the Wild West of college football At some
point.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
something's going to happen, but it might not be for
10 years.
I don't know how youre-regulate this without somehow
making a governing body thatbasically puts a salary cap on
it, and even then they're goingto argue that that's
unconstitutional because it'snot allowing players to make the
maximum amount that they shouldbe or can.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Well then, just leave it like this and make it the
NFL Doesn't matter, it's an NFLthat plays on.
Saturdays with 300 teams.
As a guy who gambles, I'm coolwith that.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That's fine yeah, or just start another football
league that plays on saturdays.
That's not related to collegeand like the guys right out of
high school like the xfl uh, Idon't want.
I want collegeage kids, whichwill be definitely
(16:10):
discrimination and will never beallowed.
But you want a place that kidscan go and play and get paid and
develop.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Like a minor league baseball.
You go right out of high schoolwith that.
Like a minor league baseballyou go right out of high school
to that.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I guess you got like a double A and a triple A,
something Kind of like how youhave mid-majors, yeah, at least
they're regulated differentlyBasketball and all this, you
know I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I don't know what the right answer is, but we're
approaching territory where wecan't go back.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I get paid zero money to sit here and figure this out
.
There are people that do getpaid money to do it, though.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Well, patience is a virtue you could get paid one
day, joe, you never know.
You never know.
Just go on another date toDisney World and keep pumping
these numbers.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I need to fund a Disney ticket somehow.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
There you go so now, if Nico has two decent years at
UCLA, are they going to retirehis jersey, like they are for
Travis, hunter and Shador inColorado?
Yeah, I was going to bring upyour two favorite people from
(17:53):
Boulder.
I don't understand.
What have they done to earn ajersey retirement?
I don't get what.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Shador, did I get what Travis did?
Now, I don't think he retiredhis jersey before he even gets
drafted to the NFL.
However, he's got to be whatthe first Colorado player to win
a Heisman ever, or in the last50 years no Rashawn Salon won
(18:22):
one, didn't he?
No, he didn't win it, he didn'twin it.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
We're going to have to fact check that one.
So, after fact checking,rashawn Salon did actually win
the 1994 Heisman Trophy.
His jersey is retired, though,to be fair, so I don't mind
Travis Hunter, I guess, gettingretired, since he won a Heisman,
I still think it's fast, superfast, I mean he's.
Since he won a Heisman, I stillthink it's fast, super fast I
(18:49):
haven't waited for any, andthese are two seasons of
Colorado football that are what?
13 and 12?
And you have a player who worenumber two, that won a national
(19:09):
championship and is in thecollege football hall of fame
and beyond figures, I believe ishis name.
Who?
Doesn't get his Jersey retired.
So it seems a little ridiculous, and if you're pissing off your
own school's alumni might be aproblem.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Definitely a little bit of a problem.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
So when Prime leaves, do you think they un-retire
Shador?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I sure hope so.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
But that's not the.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
That's not the.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
That's not the quickest collegiate jersey
retirement that I've seen in thelast year.
I don't know what else did wedo?
My least favorite athlete hadhis jersey retired on his senior
day while he was still playing.
Who is your least favoriteathlete?
(20:07):
Zach Eaddy.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Oh yeah, that's right , the dude bothers me.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Wasn't he like three-time player of the year,
or something?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Two-time yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Never won the big one , though Rory did, eadie never
did.
Shador and Hunter have nevermade it to the playoff to get to
the big one, but I mean Edielost to a 16 seed and a 14 seed.
Shador's won a bowl game, yeah,but he redeemed himself.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Edie went to a national championship redeemed
himself, but dude, they gotwaxed.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Oh for sure, he didn't even win a national
championship, or deemed himself,but dude, they got waxed.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Oh for sure Nobody was beating that UConn team,
though no.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
No, but anything else on Shador and Travis Hunter's
jerseys.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
No.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
That probably shouldn't be real.
I just think it's too quick.
Let's talk about another thingthat I think is very dumb the
NBA playing games.
What?
Yeah, I don't get that, I don'tknow what you don't get five
years in a row for Trey Young.
All we care about is more money.
That's it right.
(21:28):
That's it right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
That's it.
It's money Jerry gets to.
Jerry Bransdorf gets to say hehas a team that made the
playoffs my bad, the Play-Ins.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Hey.
The Bulls haven't won a realplayoff game since D-Rose, I
believe.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah Home playoff game.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Home playoff game since D-Rose, I believe.
Yeah, home playoff game.
Home playoff game since D-Rose.
Yet the Nuggets are firingtheir coach that won an NBA
championship two years ago.
Yeah, billy Donovan still hashis job.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Did you know that on the Bulls' home rally titles it
didn't say 2025 playoffs, itsaid 2025 postseason, because
they can't technically putplayoffs on there?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
That's hilarious Because it happens after the
regular season.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
It's like added time, chris, that's where I was going
.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Glenn, give me a bottle all the way.
We've come full circle.
What do we have?
Joe?
Come full circle, joe.
Nhl playoff matchups are set, Ithink yes battle of Quebec and
(22:43):
the battle of Florida.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Tampa and Florida playing some shit hockey lately.
Florida, tampa and Florida.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Florida's been playing some shit hockey lately.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
And then Ottawa and the.
Maple Leafs yeah, the MapleLeafs are going to curse off
them.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Are you sure?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
It's the Maple Leafs.
This is the first year in NHLhistory that the Red Wings, the
Penguins and the Bruins eachhaven't made the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, and the last time that happened the Leafs won
the Cup.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
The East is the weakest it's ever been, right
now.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Why the Caps are good .
Dude, the Florida teams aregood.
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Tampa sucks.
They're inconsistent as shit,and so is Florida.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
But they got Kachuk.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
The only team I could see coming out of the East is
the Maple Leafs, or maybe theCaps, if they can get some solid
goaltending for 12 games.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Are we going to get a Canadian team to win the Cup?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I could see a Toronto-Edmonton Stanley Cup
championship.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
The Canadians- would love it.
It would be a double middlefinger to America oh, right
after the Nations Cup game tooyou mean the exhibition game?
That didn't matter it meant alot it didn't mean shit.
It was an exhibition.
It was like added time it wasan exhibition.
(24:28):
We're getting ready for theOlympics when it counts.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I mean it was a great idea.
Whoever came up, it was awesome.
That was.
That was Canada's 1980 miraclegame.

What's the count on how many games the White Sox
have to go?
I need?
Speaker 1 (25:54):

Speaker 2 (25:58):
If they can play Boston every series, you got a
shot.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
That shit's dead.
Oh, they're playing them againthis weekend.
In Boston.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Hey Joe, Do you want to double down on a 12-view bet?
Who will have a higher winningpercentage, the 12-view or the
White Sox?

percentage under 250.

Keep telling yourself that Go ahead, joe.
Two games away from ChampionsLeague, but keep telling

Brad still doesn't know whatplus numbers Look like.
All three of mine are plusmoney.
You want to make money?
You're right, with bags.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I literally gave out plus money picks last week.
You did not.
For my third pick, I'm going totake Toronto Blue Jays money
line.
They are not the favorite, butI can't take the run line
because it doesn't meet thecriteria.
So we're going Blue Jays moneylines minus 102.
What is the criteria?
(35:37):
150, I think, is what you guyssaid before I came along.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
You want to take them plus one and a half.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Blue Jays are 14 and four against the run line.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Side note take the run line if you want, but Chris
can't count it towards the picks.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Thank, you for my third and final pick staying on
the pitch.
Staying on the pitch.
We are going to league 3 play.
What the hell is a league 3?
No, I'm just kidding.
We're going to the prem.
We are taking Manchester City.
What the hell is a League 3?
No, I'm just kidding, we'regoing to the Prem.
(36:20):
We are taking Manchester CityMoneyline against Everton Minus
110.
See how much more peaceful itis without bags.
What just happened out?
(36:41):
I guess he.
He did this to himself, but Nottoo many more of these episodes
left huh, what about self inthe butter box?
Yeah, but we're approachingsummer, that means season five
is fastly approaching.
(37:01):
Can't wait, can't wait.
Maybe we'll go to some nfltraining camps, chris, do some,
do some reporting, checking withthe scouts tra Travis Hunter at
the Cleveland Browns practice.
Oh, I don't know how we Sorry.
I don't know why we didn'tbring this up.
Flacco back in the building,let's go.
(37:23):
Flacco is back in the building.
That's awesome Is he serving.
Or is he duking it out withKenny Tugelhoff?
Yeah, slide, kenny.
With, uh, kenny, two glove.
Yeah, slide, kenny.
But what do you?
Deshawn said he's gonna silencethe haters by giving back money
(37:48):
I don't know if it was that orhe's gonna, you know, pay off
his massage people.
He's married now, or something,isn't he?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
engaged yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
I don't know, I don't know, but yeah, exciting stuff
for the Browns.
Hopefully Chubb comes back, butwe'll see NFL schedule release.
We'll definitely have a podcastthat week.
It's a month from today, or,sorry, it comes out May 15th, so
a little less than a month, butwe'll be seeing Chris any stats
(38:31):
to close this out here.
Yeah, I got some good stuff foryou.
So far in MLB I mean up untilTuesday, over and unders have
been pretty much 50-50 theentire way.
Had a run of unders recently.
It's 137 unders so far, 128overs, so it's 52-48
(38:56):
percentage-wise wise.
So betting unders and overs hasbeen difficult.
Um, home home favorites arewinning outright 67 percent of
the time.
They're 124 and 62.
Yeah, you're giving up somemoney with the juice, but it
seems like they're winningenough to compensate for that.
(39:17):
Home teams in general arewinning 61% of the time.
As far as against the run line,it's pretty well balanced
throughout.
Home dogs are actually coveringat 60% of the time.
So, yeah, I mean you're alsolosing juice getting the plus
one and a half, but again, uh,might be worth it if you pick
(39:41):
your spots.
Yeah, uh, white socks, we canstart dating them or not, yet,
not yet.
They're actually not that badagainst the run line.
They are nine and eight againstthe run line, so it's hard to
fade them.
Yet I think we're still in teamtotal under territory now,
(40:04):
though they just don't scoreenough, so we can start doing
that, okay.
Uh, your big ones that are rightnow winning against the run
