Speaker 1 (00:00):
Number one on your car radio preset hand. The new
and improved Diehard Radio w D yes and w D
two seven three D Philadelphia is Fox Sports Radio The Gambler.
You're listening to The Daily Ticket with Sean brace Phillies,
first daily sports gambling show let on Fox Sports Radio,
(00:23):
The Gambler. The action starts here.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
E S and D Daily Ticket with you riding solo.
Coming up at five o'clock, We're gonna talk some golf.
The folks swinging and ding at Moose Mays and Danielle
and damn it, we got our self study now we
got our selves the final major the golf season Royal
(00:55):
Part Rush. We are going for the Open Championship Boston
known as the British Open. YadA, YadA, YadA. People make
the same joke every single I'm still gonna call the
British anyways. You know, great write up by a good
friend in the program, Patrich McDonald, who's doing great jobs,
a great workover at CBS Sports. And you know it
(01:18):
is intriguing because you look at what Xanderschoffley did last year.
Now he won two out of the four majors. But
like for somebody not named Scotty not named Rory, like
JJ spawn is a perfect example. Who wanted Oakma. You
win this tournament and it changes everything from the way
(01:38):
you're viewed in this season of course, money made in life,
celebrity stat all of that. Like, you win this tournament,
this final major, and literally it changes your world, it
flips it upside down. Now again, that's anybody but Scotty
and Rory, and maybe we could probably put like one
or two other guys in there, and John Ram changed
(02:00):
his maybe not, I don't know. But ultimately, man, this
is the final shot of the year to win an
outing of substance. I know that there are a couple
with the playoffs and you know, the BNW Championship, so
on and so on, with those final three at the
end of the year, that's all great, but man, there's
nothing like those majors. So who will win the Open Championship?
(02:25):
What's fire up? DraftKings Sportsbook could take a look at
some of the odds here and specifically trying to find
one or two wagers that we believe in and not
named Scottie Scheffler because that's the easy way. And Rory
is one of those guys too, as well where it's like,
would you be surprised if either one of them were
able to get the job done this weekend? Now, for
(02:46):
my money, I'm looking at, you know, the Rory being
the guy and played really well in the Genesis this
past weekend, No shock there, just getting things going in
and probably has been a golf for the year. Is
that fair? Am I off on that? Who's been the
best player all season? It's Scotty or Rory? That's it.
(03:09):
I would probably lean Rory. I would Maybe I'm off
on that. Maybe we need a little bit dig dig
a little bit deeper into the numbers. But you know,
just to sitting here right now, Rory's had a great
season and with everything that's been put on his plate,
and I got some Scotti Scheffler cuts that I know
you've seen already, where he's wrestling with the the fact
of what it is to even play professional golf and
(03:31):
win an event, so on and so forth. Maybe we'll
get into that a little bit. But Scheffler is your
odds on favorite right now plus four fifty Underdraftkings Sportsbook.
And don't laugh, because there have been plenty of times
that he's been less as far as the payout is concerned,
and he has delivered. So if somebody was to tell me,
you know what, I'm gonna place a wager on Scotty Scheffler,
I'll take the plus four fifty. I don't hate it.
(03:54):
I don't hate I just think it's the easiest way
to go about it, and it's not something that we're
trying to do here. But at the end of day,
I would not argue, let's just put it that way,
Rory is at plus seven fifty. That would be the
number one play that I would have. But again, as
I said, not going to go Scotti or Rory. So
maybe you might be saying, well, Sean, if you're gonna
take John Ram, who is the third favorite here, that's
(04:16):
pretty much the same, right, Yeah, I could get down
with that, but oh no, it's twelve to one. So
there's your difference as far as the numbers are concerned,
plus twelve hundred. So I like John Ram to get
the job done. And Rom has been playing really well
on the Live Tour, plays well obviously in all major tournaments.
And then again over to Patrick McDonald's article, the fact
(04:40):
is that Europe has treated John Ram kindly as he
is an Irish Open winner and a consistent contender in
the Open, with four top elevens and his last five
appearances twelve the ones to pay out again. Rom, would
it shock you if he did win? No, I think
that this is probably limited to sick seven golfers that
(05:01):
will have the opportunity to win it. Tough course, you know,
a lot of pressure and you just have to be
consistent for four straight days in that environment. And again,
I don't know what type of weather we're looking at,
but I would assume we're going to get some sort
of precipitation number one and wind and all that. Can't
wait to tune in, crack it dawn, bright and early.
(05:24):
We got some golf going off again. I think the
odds boards is off at one thirty. I don't know
what the first tea time is, but you know it's
really good and really fun. Just like last week when
you wake up you got Genesis Open. I was able
to tune into that right and early. Same thing with
the Open Championship here again. You know, like I said,
with the fact that I could get to six golfers
(05:46):
that I think would have a chance at winning this
Scheffler Rory Rom Xander and even struggling for the six. Like,
I don't want to put Hobblin on there, but it
wonn't shock me if he was in the conversation because
we know what his ability is. Oberg is a guy
that people have been high on. But you know, Shane
(06:08):
Lowry is a guy that people could talk themselves into,
no doubt about it. Here's a name though, that really
struck a chord with me. And I'm not going to
sit here and say that he could win it, but
I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on, say a top twenty,
top ten, top twenty, plus four fifty, top ten, eleven
(06:30):
to one to win it eighty to one. And I'm
talking about the great Adam Scott. You know, he's played
well this year. He is so consistent, nothing bothers him.
I'm a huge fan of Adam Scott over the years,
no doubt about it. If he can go ahead and
(06:51):
get that putter going, that's the ultimate difference. And you
can say that about anybody, right, but you just know
what you're getting with Adam Scott. He's so consistent, so
you're and nothing bothers him at all. So I like
Adam Scott and he's a crowd favorite. Everybody loves him
all over the globe. It's a guy that I root for,
you know, full disclosure. I like Justin Thomas. I like
(07:12):
Adam Scott, so I would not be shocked if he
played well this weekend and was like a top ten
and eleven to one. I think that's a nice little payday.
So that's gonna be a wager that I will have
on Adam Scott to finish in the Oh that's top five,
damn top ten plus four to fifty, all right, So
I got that round plus four fifty on the top ten.
(07:32):
We'll play that. We'll play top top ten plus four
to fifty for Adam Scott, John Ram outright twelve to one.
Those are my two plays for the Open.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Oh yeah for me a guinness.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Let's get some Iris whisky going.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
It's the Open Championship at Royal plut Rush, I know,
major of the season in Northern Ireland, first time since
twenty nineteen, only the third time the Open has ever
been held outside of Scotland or England.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Hobout that sports fans, all right? Keeping it moving. Other
things that are happening in the world of sports. The
Philadelphia Union back and action this evening, and off of
a nice victory by the Boys in Blue. They're at
home tonight seven thirty pm taking on Montreal Union or
minus two thirty favorites here Montreal five to one. You
(08:33):
can always get that job plus three point fifty. Pulling
up the MLS standings, looking at what Montreal has been
able to do this season. Again, Philadelphia top of the
chart with forty three points in the Eastern Conference. Montreal
not exactly a good team. They are all the way
(08:54):
directly on the bottom of the conference here with fifteen
total points. My goodness, what a disaster of a year
from Montreal. Wow again forty three for Philadelphia at the top,
Montreal fifteen total points and the season with twenty two
matches played. Boys in Blue returned to the pitch, back
(09:15):
at home, looking forward to that tonight minus two thirty
for the Union, so it better be a victory. And oh,
by the way, Brand New X is into you coming
your way tomorrow with Sebastian Latwo, Matty g and Adam Booth.
You can get all of our podcasts at FOXPHL Gambler
dot com. At Foxphl Gambler dot com all right, there's
(09:36):
an article out there about Joel Embiid and it's getting
a lot of pub and it's a good write up,
like I haven't read it in full of details, so
I'm not gonna go too crazy here. But a gentleman's
name is doton A Kenoyer. If I'm not mistaken, if
I if I got that right, apologize if I didn't.
(09:58):
I have no idea who he is. But he writes
for ESPN and he was able to get an end
with Jewel Embiid, and it is a long, long read
talking about everything from the health, who he's dealing with,
very open as far as you know. The conversation is
concerned talking about James Harden, how he doesn't even still
(10:21):
talk to him, like he goes in a lot a
lot Sam Yankees mentioned in this article. It is absurd
how long this article is. To tell you the truth,
I don't think I could fit this in a full segment.
I really don't, all right, So I can't even give
a real good breakdown on this because this thing is
(10:45):
so I'm still still scanning still. I don't know. It
doesn't give me pages, but it is just ridiculous how
long this is. If he missed it earlier. I will
just say this, and I know that we're going to
write these things pieces, especially this time of year, and
I don't have an issue with them. But I'm about
(11:08):
as big as of a Joel Embiid fan as it gets.
And it pained me last year when I was right
and I said that his body is cooked and I
didn't think he had thirty games in him last year
and he did it. And now where we're at right now,
I don't have even like that type of positive outlook
(11:29):
on it right thirty games. I just I have the
ultimate pessimistic view. When it comes to Joel Ebead. I
think this is going to be a really tough sledding
for him over the next few years to close out
this contract. And when it comes to the discussion about
Daryl Morey, and I know that it's really easy for
(11:51):
me to sit here and say, like, hey man, you
had to give Joel and Beead that contract you had
to write. You're not going to get rid of them,
You're not going to trade them. You gotta give him
that contract. And know, by the way, if you do,
you know we've seen teams get out of these contracts before.
Although things have changed a lot with the Aprons and
all that nonsense, so it's not as easy to get
out of these contracts. But still it is the NBA.
(12:12):
Look at what Bradley Beal just happened. Whatever you just
started with the Clippers. I just I am stuck in
the what have you done for me lately? Mind frame
where it's like I just I don't have time to
look at Joel Embiid and be raw raw right now.
I just don't. Last year was so disappointing that it
(12:36):
made me like ill to watch a game. And now
you could say, well Joel wasn't out there, but again,
you know what it is all it all encompasses everything
together and Jojo is the piece. He is the big
piece to the puzzle here and we know it. And
if he's not healthy, this team is not going to
compete for anything worth the damn And that's the way
(12:58):
it's looking like it's going to be this year. In
this article, he says he's not going to come back
unless he is ready, he's healthy. There is a part
in this article where he talks about I wish somebody
for the team kept me out in that series against
the Knicks and it's just I gotta be fully honest
with you and tell you that like it's robbing me
(13:18):
the wrong way. And again, I gotta read the full
article because it goes in and I'm not trying to
make this out to be, you know, something that it's not.
Maybe I might even get it wrong because I didn't
read the whole damn thing. But at the end of
the day, the you know, building up a Joel embiide,
I don't need it. Maybe some do. Maybe people need
(13:39):
to be reminded of how great he was. People need
to be reminded of how much of a warrior he
was to compete, how often hurt he was, and still
went out there even though he missed all those games.
That's fine, that's for them, and they could give you
that opinion that they were wrong. I have never been
wrong about Jewel Embiid. I've been number one in his
corner this whole time. Never wanted to get rid of him,
(14:00):
never could get rid of him, never wanted to trade him.
I thought you were an idiot if you would have
traded him after his MVP season. Never been wrong about
anything Joel Embiid. And I can't say that about you know,
certain athletes, I really can't like. He's the one guy
that I have been spot on with this whole damn time,
from the time he was drafted. So when the Sixers
(14:21):
in up pulling the number for him and getting that pick,
he was the guy. And I know it was winless
for Wiggans that year, but I was saying, Joelle Embiid
looks like what he was doing in that limited time
with Kansas was blown me away. And then he saw
that that what was it the warm up video or
it was in Cleveland State. I think he even got
(14:41):
hurt in that workout video, if I'm not mistaken, but
it was just like, that's the guy right there. But
here we are, and when you drafted Joel Embiid, and
what I did say then, and it's what I'm saying now.
A guy of that size is going to lose out
father time, probably sooner than later. And he's thirty one
(15:03):
years old. And I think the Sixers have gotten a
ton out of Joel Embiid. He's been here for a
long long time. But I can't get down with the
rah rah stuff right now. This team, this franchise is
a disaster. And the contracts that you gave to Paul
George and Joel Embiid two years ago, and specifically speaking
(15:24):
about Darryl Mory are going to blow up if they
haven't already. And I just I don't know if this
team isn't going to be able to win with the players,
because you know, you'd like to believe that Nick Nurse
is a good coach. When they hired him, I was
saying it. I last year left a lot of emptiness,
a lot of void with that that you know statement.
(15:44):
But where I'm at right now, everything is fresh, it's new.
You get Maxie, you get McCaine, you get some young
guns in here. They have some decent pieces, and I
think it's about being simple, having a simple approach to
this upcoming season where we're talking about just being in entertaining,
watching the games, playing hard, allowing MAXI to take the baton,
(16:05):
building these young players up, seeing the athleticism front and center,
and maybe getting to the playoffs. We talked about that
a ton last year. Oh how bad Useter is? Anybody
mixed the playoffs? Sure well the Sixers did not. They
should this year. If everybody stays healthy from those young guns,
I do think that they will be competing for a
playoff spot, and that's all I can ask for at
(16:27):
this point in time. But the whole dwell THEMBI and
trying to build him up. I don't need that. I
don't need that. And you know, I'm sure that people
will take you know, and those words and probably have
a take or two on them. But that's that's how
I feel. I'm good on the Jowell embiid think pieces
right now. Or we're supposed to praise him, I've been
(16:47):
doing it all along. He's been one of, if not
the best player in the damn league. He didn't get
that MVP award because he didn't deserve it and everybody
had Joker fatigue. No, he was the MVP of the
league in that damn year. Like I said, been spot
on about Jojo. Here we are now. The reality of
where we're at. It's ugly and I don't think that
(17:09):
anything is going to improve. I can't even believe. On Monday,
after I got done doing that hit with Sam Ostri
where we discussed specifically that there will be times this
season where Paul George will not be out there. And look,
I don't think we're stating we are stayed in the office.
I don't think we're stating anything that nobody thought would
be a possibility. He's thirty five years old. I think
(17:31):
we needed temper those expectations the first day he signed
the contract, and even more so now. And I do
feel for him again, like I get it. It's not
what we wanted. Nobody wants see anybody get hurt. But
he's here, and he's getting another surgery and he's not
gonna be ready. And when he does come back in
the middle of season, what exactly getting for Paul George.
We're gonna have to go through that song and dance. Oh,
(17:52):
you gotta ramp him up, gotta get him, you gotta
get him healthy. He's not that good. He's not that
player anymore. So it's just been a disaster of a
situation that Darryl Morey has brought on by bringing in
Paul George, give him a four year deal and of
course rewarding Jowell and Bid for everything he's been through
with the Sixers organization and giving him a new contract.
We'll see how it plays out, though, bold strategy, as
(18:14):
they say, all right, the NBA again, we talked a
lot of Sixers in the past few weeks, which is
pretty funny because you know, all season long, there wasn't
anything that I really wanted to get into too much
when it comes to the Philadelphia seventy six ers. But
at the end, you know, the NBA has done a
great job. Do you want to point out though, Bradley Beal,
though we talked a little bit about this, Bradley Beal
(18:35):
is now joining the Clippers. And if you listen to
the show before me, which is Colin Cowherd, Jason McIntyre
was his producer slash Sports anchor update host and he
likes to say some things from time to time to
get a reaction, but he was making the case that
he feels like, if Bradley Beal was with the Lakers,
you can go ahead and start talking about the Lakers
(18:56):
potentially being a championship contender. And I think with a
Luca that will be motivated and hopefully that is the
case from everything has took place this offseason. Of course,
being traded from Dallas and oh, by the way, playing
with Lebron James. I do think that the Lakers were
going to be somewhat contenders. I didn't think that they
were going to win it all. Last year, but I
(19:17):
did think they showed flashes. They played well against all
the great teams. The Oklahoma City Thunder, I think they
beat them. The Denver Nuggets, they played well against. Like Lakers.
Are the Lakers Lebron out there, no doubt, but they
didn't get them. They didn't get Bradley Beal, and I
wasn't too high on Beal going to the Lakers. To
be honest with you, I don't think Bradley Buial is
that good of a player. And I might be wrong
(19:37):
on that. He could prove me wrong. But at the
end of the day, man, what did he do with Phoenix?
It was it was a bad spot, bad stop for
Bradley Beal. He underperformed and every opportunity he had with
the Phoenix Suns. So they got out of that deal,
which was a five year deal. They wave and stretched
the remaining money on his contract and he only played
(19:59):
two seasons. So now he joins the Clippers and it's
one of those deals where it's like, all right, just
continue to add these big name players to help James
Hard and Kawhi Leonard, you know, the the the addition
of Beal, I get it. They've ended up making the move.
They traded Norman Powell, and now you got the potential
(20:20):
for a big lineup in there with everybody, like we
just discussed. But I don't look at Bradley Beal as
a championship player, someone that's going to come in and
fill the role and be the good player and you know,
be a good teammate. I just don't think that this
is a championship type of move for the l A Clippers.
(20:41):
And I never looked at the Clippers too much as
a contender, but there were moments last year where you
know what you were saying to yourself, like could the
Clippers be potentially a team that you don't want to face?
And they had the opportunity, and they didn't show up,
and they ended up losing that first series to Denver.
If I'm not mistaken, it was a series that I
(21:01):
wanted to see the Clippers win. But even point blank,
if you give Clippers Bradley Beal last year, I still
don't think that they win that series. Clippers right now
to win the west On draftings sportsbook didn't really move much.
They're fourteen to one. You got six teams in front
of them, including the Golden Stair, Warriors, Lakers, Tea Wolf's, Nuggets, Rockets,
(21:23):
and Oklahoma City Thunder. NBA front and center with all
these moves in the offseason. Not exactly the crazy offseason
that Shams was kind of putting out there a couple
months ago, but you know what does have us talking
about it and Summer League rolling on right now. Haven't
paid too much attention to the Summer League. Did see
jenn I Broom have himself a good day yesterday, which
(21:45):
is great to see. But all in all, the NBA
has done a great job capitalizing on the drama of
the league and of course the trades and everything like
that in the off season. All right, we'll keep it moving.
Daily Ticket rolling on here. We hit a little bit
from the All Star Game yesterday, and we did have
some controversy when it comes to the world of sports
(22:06):
books paying out a game on the money line. Yeah,
the All Star Game struck up some controversy in the
sports gambling world. I'll give you those details on the
other side. The Daily Ticket more coming down the home
(23:23):
stretch here, Swinging and ning it coming up next, All
Things Open Championship with Moose Mays, Dan y'all heading to
Northern Ireland. I haven't got the bug yet to head
out there. I do, you know, I do have the
(23:45):
jealousy kick in when they open up the season for
college football, right we got Kansas State Iowa State. I
think that's the first game this year in Ireland. And
then last year we had what Navy and Georgia Tech.
Wasn't that the game? No, no, no, no? It was
Florida State in Georgia Tech. I think Navy was the
year before anyways, if I'm messing that up, But which
(24:09):
was a great game? Yeah we had the upset no one.
But you know, I haven't had like that drive, like man,
I gotta get the Ireland and it's beautiful. I can
only imagine it would make you emotional walking around that place.
But I haven't had like Man, I'm still locked into
like the beach man, Like I still if you give
(24:31):
me vacation, you give me the opportunity, you know, Like
Italy is a place I've always wanted to go to,
no doubt, but man, I'm still like, just put me
into Bahamas. There's nothing better than the Bahamas, dude, Obahamas
is the best. It's a quick flight. You know, you
feel like you're in wherever you want. Turks and cakeos
to Aruba. But like I said, it's a hop, skipping
(24:51):
and jump and you're there. That's why I love about
the Bahamas. And I've been to Aruba a lot, but
you know, I would take Bahamas over a life. Anyways,
Maybe one year I'll get out to Ireland. Sure, it'd
be great, have a couple of Guinnesses out there, play
some golf, that would be great. That would be great
to get out there and see exactly how those links
courses work live and in person, but ultimately not on
(25:16):
the radar at this point in time in my life.
We'll see what happens there, but I'm sure that they'll
be discussing all things Open Championship coming your way, So
I'm going to dig it on the other side. Oh
by the way, six o'clock football is King. McLay and
Beef talking some NFC football is King year round. We
talked football right here on the Gambler, Nick McClay, Ryan
(25:36):
Beef Coyle at six pm. They'll take over the airwaves
at that point in time. All right, Like I said,
coming down the home stretch closing up shop here, did
have a little bit of an issue last night. I
don't know if you were able to catch this, but
in the Major League Baseball All Star Game again, it
was all tied up at nine or after nine innings,
(25:57):
tied up at six, and it acquired the first ever
home run all swing off home run swing off that
our own Kyle Schwarber ended up getting the job done
for the National League. This out sounded.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Schorber in the air to center field, heading towards the wall.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
That's center huge for the National League. They're with him one,
So there you go. He said, if he could get
it on his first swing, and he did.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Job shre BOMs in the All Star Game, tied it free.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
That's MVP material if he gets the third one right here, Hey,
I rallied in the game.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
N L has rallied in the swing of.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Track Lookout chop House. Nationally text only four to three
love the lookout chop House, and balls were flying all
over the place. As far as in the All Star Game,
it was a pretty good All Star game right entertaining anyway,
short we ended up winning the MVP. You heard it
(27:09):
right there, forty to one plus four thousand. Now putting
that to the side, let's talk about the money line
here and why was an issue for some sports books
because you got to read the fine print. Not an
issue for sports books. It's an issue for people who
don't read the fine print when it comes to certain
games like that. And yes, majority of the games are
you know, are won or lost and regulation or extra innings,
(27:31):
extra time, whatever it is. But something like this where
it's an exhibition, you just never know a lot like
preseason football you run into this sort of thing, or
summer league hoops, you know, some stuff like that. And
so I don't think people were putting crazy money, but
you do know that there are people out there that
are like, you know, what's the only thing to wage around,
Let's have a play here on the nash League or
(27:52):
the American League. But here's the deal. Circus Sports and
Caesars ruled the money line bet a push due to
the fact of the fine print. It's how sports books
grade the wagers, and they're very upfront. I know the
folks over there at Circus Sports very well, and they
often talk about this. Read the fine print. Know what
(28:13):
your sports book operator has your rules from the sports
books when you are wagering on seid games. Again, twenty
five bucks, fifty bucks. You're not too worried about it,
no doubt, but there are people out there that probably
had five thousand hour wager on it. Now you're talking
about some money that you know would have been nice
in your pocket with a National League victory. Instead, you
get the push. You didn't lose, but you get the push.
(28:36):
But in the flip side, you could have the American
League which was a loss, and you end up getting
the pushed there, So it works both ways on that one. However,
FanDuel and a DraftKings sports book did grade it for
a win for the National League. So bottom line is
always always always read the fine print. Finally, I do
want to end on this one. I thought it was
pretty cool for the the ABS Check Challenge system to
(29:01):
be right there, front and center and be successful the
way that it did. So if you watch the game
last night, you saw schoolble the specific incident, it's a
specific situation. Excuse me? Was Machado and school Bull's a
ball cal ball schoobl taps the helmet, taps the hat,
boom Eighteen seconds later, pops up on the jumbo tron boom.
(29:22):
You see it. Balls in the zone strike and I
love it, and I think for people out there that
are reluctant to go into the robot world when it
comes to umpires, there it was case in point. It works,
it's quick, and it's easy, and on top of it,
it does not steal the suspense. That's the big key
component for me is that the suspense is still there.
(29:43):
If you watch tennis, it's the same technology, but if
you don't, Essentially what it's going to do is going
to show the ball slow motion, get into that zone. Boom,
it will hit the square. If it's a square, you
could see it. If it touches the square, it's a strike.
If it doesn't, it's a ball. That's that easy. And
I think if you give me a three to two count,
bases loaded or runners on second, third, two outs, whatever
(30:05):
it may be, and you get that situation to a batter,
next thing, you know, whether hey man, he gets called
strike three and he's like no, no, no, no, challenge it.
I think that's suspense. I think that's pretty cool. So
the only frustrating thing is why Major League Baseball doesn't
have it in their games today. Make it happen today.
(30:27):
That right there, and that's not robots. That's assistance. That's
not robot umpires, that's not a robot strike zone, and
that's what will be the next thing. It's like, well,
if we can get all these colds right when we
do them all, I get it. I understand it. But
these umpires, it's a difficult job, and majority are hitting
that ninety three percent accuracy, if not more, except for
(30:47):
Phil Cuzy, but even then, I think he's right around
that mark, to be fair to him, but I think
you give that that element into Major League Baseball, especially
when we're talking playoff games. Come on, man, you know, Manfred,
you're a guy that can make things happen. Go ahead
and do that in the world of baseball. All right,
comesh all right. Fun show today tomorrow live in studio

Number one on your car radio preset hand. The new
and improved Diehard Radio w D yes and w D
two seven three D Philadelphia is Fox Sports Radio The Gambler.
You're listening to The Daily Ticket with Sean brace Phillies,
first daily sports gambling show let on Fox Sports Radio,
(00:23):
The Gambler. The action starts here.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
E S and D Daily Ticket with you riding solo.
Coming up at five o'clock, We're gonna talk some golf.
The folks swinging and ding at Moose Mays and Danielle
and damn it, we got our self study now we
got our selves the final major the golf season Royal
(00:55):
Part Rush. We are going for the Open Championship Boston
known as the British Open. YadA, YadA, YadA. People make
the same joke every single I'm still gonna call the
British anyways. You know, great write up by a good
friend in the program, Patrich McDonald, who's doing great jobs,
a great workover at CBS Sports. And you know it
(01:18):
is intriguing because you look at what Xanderschoffley did last year.
Now he won two out of the four majors. But
like for somebody not named Scotty not named Rory, like
JJ spawn is a perfect example. Who wanted Oakma. You
win this tournament and it changes everything from the way
(01:38):
you're viewed in this season of course, money made in life,
celebrity stat all of that. Like, you win this tournament,
this final major, and literally it changes your world, it
flips it upside down. Now again, that's anybody but Scotty
and Rory, and maybe we could probably put like one
or two other guys in there, and John Ram changed
(02:00):
his maybe not, I don't know. But ultimately, man, this
is the final shot of the year to win an
outing of substance. I know that there are a couple
with the playoffs and you know, the BNW Championship, so
on and so on, with those final three at the
end of the year, that's all great, but man, there's
nothing like those majors. So who will win the Open Championship?
(02:25):
What's fire up? DraftKings Sportsbook could take a look at
some of the odds here and specifically trying to find
one or two wagers that we believe in and not
named Scottie Scheffler because that's the easy way. And Rory
is one of those guys too, as well where it's like,
would you be surprised if either one of them were
able to get the job done this weekend? Now, for
(02:46):
my money, I'm looking at, you know, the Rory being
the guy and played really well in the Genesis this
past weekend, No shock there, just getting things going in
and probably has been a golf for the year. Is
that fair? Am I off on that? Who's been the
best player all season? It's Scotty or Rory? That's it.
(03:09):
I would probably lean Rory. I would Maybe I'm off
on that. Maybe we need a little bit dig dig
a little bit deeper into the numbers. But you know,
just to sitting here right now, Rory's had a great
season and with everything that's been put on his plate,
and I got some Scotti Scheffler cuts that I know
you've seen already, where he's wrestling with the the fact
of what it is to even play professional golf and
(03:31):
win an event, so on and so forth. Maybe we'll
get into that a little bit. But Scheffler is your
odds on favorite right now plus four fifty Underdraftkings Sportsbook.
And don't laugh, because there have been plenty of times
that he's been less as far as the payout is concerned,
and he has delivered. So if somebody was to tell me,
you know what, I'm gonna place a wager on Scotty Scheffler,
I'll take the plus four fifty. I don't hate it.
(03:54):
I don't hate I just think it's the easiest way
to go about it, and it's not something that we're
trying to do here. But at the end of day,
I would not argue, let's just put it that way,
Rory is at plus seven fifty. That would be the
number one play that I would have. But again, as
I said, not going to go Scotti or Rory. So
maybe you might be saying, well, Sean, if you're gonna
take John Ram, who is the third favorite here, that's
(04:16):
pretty much the same, right, Yeah, I could get down
with that, but oh no, it's twelve to one. So
there's your difference as far as the numbers are concerned,
plus twelve hundred. So I like John Ram to get
the job done. And Rom has been playing really well
on the Live Tour, plays well obviously in all major tournaments.
And then again over to Patrick McDonald's article, the fact
(04:40):
is that Europe has treated John Ram kindly as he
is an Irish Open winner and a consistent contender in
the Open, with four top elevens and his last five
appearances twelve the ones to pay out again. Rom, would
it shock you if he did win? No, I think
that this is probably limited to sick seven golfers that
(05:01):
will have the opportunity to win it. Tough course, you know,
a lot of pressure and you just have to be
consistent for four straight days in that environment. And again,
I don't know what type of weather we're looking at,
but I would assume we're going to get some sort
of precipitation number one and wind and all that. Can't
wait to tune in, crack it dawn, bright and early.
(05:24):
We got some golf going off again. I think the
odds boards is off at one thirty. I don't know
what the first tea time is, but you know it's
really good and really fun. Just like last week when
you wake up you got Genesis Open. I was able
to tune into that right and early. Same thing with
the Open Championship here again. You know, like I said,
with the fact that I could get to six golfers
(05:46):
that I think would have a chance at winning this
Scheffler Rory Rom Xander and even struggling for the six. Like,
I don't want to put Hobblin on there, but it
wonn't shock me if he was in the conversation because
we know what his ability is. Oberg is a guy
that people have been high on. But you know, Shane
(06:08):
Lowry is a guy that people could talk themselves into,
no doubt about it. Here's a name though, that really
struck a chord with me. And I'm not going to
sit here and say that he could win it, but
I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on, say a top twenty,
top ten, top twenty, plus four fifty, top ten, eleven
(06:30):
to one to win it eighty to one. And I'm
talking about the great Adam Scott. You know, he's played
well this year. He is so consistent, nothing bothers him.
I'm a huge fan of Adam Scott over the years,
no doubt about it. If he can go ahead and
(06:51):
get that putter going, that's the ultimate difference. And you
can say that about anybody, right, but you just know
what you're getting with Adam Scott. He's so consistent, so
you're and nothing bothers him at all. So I like
Adam Scott and he's a crowd favorite. Everybody loves him
all over the globe. It's a guy that I root for,
you know, full disclosure. I like Justin Thomas. I like
(07:12):
Adam Scott, so I would not be shocked if he
played well this weekend and was like a top ten
and eleven to one. I think that's a nice little payday.
So that's gonna be a wager that I will have
on Adam Scott to finish in the Oh that's top five,
damn top ten plus four to fifty, all right, So
I got that round plus four fifty on the top ten.
(07:32):
We'll play that. We'll play top top ten plus four
to fifty for Adam Scott, John Ram outright twelve to one.
Those are my two plays for the Open.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Oh yeah for me a guinness.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Let's get some Iris whisky going.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
It's the Open Championship at Royal plut Rush, I know,
major of the season in Northern Ireland, first time since
twenty nineteen, only the third time the Open has ever
been held outside of Scotland or England.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Hobout that sports fans, all right? Keeping it moving. Other
things that are happening in the world of sports. The
Philadelphia Union back and action this evening, and off of
a nice victory by the Boys in Blue. They're at
home tonight seven thirty pm taking on Montreal Union or
minus two thirty favorites here Montreal five to one. You
(08:33):
can always get that job plus three point fifty. Pulling
up the MLS standings, looking at what Montreal has been
able to do this season. Again, Philadelphia top of the
chart with forty three points in the Eastern Conference. Montreal
not exactly a good team. They are all the way
(08:54):
directly on the bottom of the conference here with fifteen
total points. My goodness, what a disaster of a year
from Montreal. Wow again forty three for Philadelphia at the top,
Montreal fifteen total points and the season with twenty two
matches played. Boys in Blue returned to the pitch, back
(09:15):
at home, looking forward to that tonight minus two thirty
for the Union, so it better be a victory. And oh,
by the way, Brand New X is into you coming
your way tomorrow with Sebastian Latwo, Matty g and Adam Booth.
You can get all of our podcasts at FOXPHL Gambler
dot com. At Foxphl Gambler dot com all right, there's
(09:36):
an article out there about Joel Embiid and it's getting
a lot of pub and it's a good write up,
like I haven't read it in full of details, so
I'm not gonna go too crazy here. But a gentleman's
name is doton A Kenoyer. If I'm not mistaken, if
I if I got that right, apologize if I didn't.
(09:58):
I have no idea who he is. But he writes
for ESPN and he was able to get an end
with Jewel Embiid, and it is a long, long read
talking about everything from the health, who he's dealing with,
very open as far as you know. The conversation is
concerned talking about James Harden, how he doesn't even still
(10:21):
talk to him, like he goes in a lot a
lot Sam Yankees mentioned in this article. It is absurd
how long this article is. To tell you the truth,
I don't think I could fit this in a full segment.
I really don't, all right, So I can't even give
a real good breakdown on this because this thing is
(10:45):
so I'm still still scanning still. I don't know. It
doesn't give me pages, but it is just ridiculous how
long this is. If he missed it earlier. I will
just say this, and I know that we're going to
write these things pieces, especially this time of year, and
I don't have an issue with them. But I'm about
(11:08):
as big as of a Joel Embiid fan as it gets.
And it pained me last year when I was right
and I said that his body is cooked and I
didn't think he had thirty games in him last year
and he did it. And now where we're at right now,
I don't have even like that type of positive outlook
(11:29):
on it right thirty games. I just I have the
ultimate pessimistic view. When it comes to Joel Ebead. I
think this is going to be a really tough sledding
for him over the next few years to close out
this contract. And when it comes to the discussion about
Daryl Morey, and I know that it's really easy for
(11:51):
me to sit here and say, like, hey man, you
had to give Joel and Beead that contract you had
to write. You're not going to get rid of them,
You're not going to trade them. You gotta give him
that contract. And know, by the way, if you do,
you know we've seen teams get out of these contracts before.
Although things have changed a lot with the Aprons and
all that nonsense, so it's not as easy to get
out of these contracts. But still it is the NBA.
(12:12):
Look at what Bradley Beal just happened. Whatever you just
started with the Clippers. I just I am stuck in
the what have you done for me lately? Mind frame
where it's like I just I don't have time to
look at Joel Embiid and be raw raw right now.
I just don't. Last year was so disappointing that it
(12:36):
made me like ill to watch a game. And now
you could say, well Joel wasn't out there, but again,
you know what it is all it all encompasses everything
together and Jojo is the piece. He is the big
piece to the puzzle here and we know it. And
if he's not healthy, this team is not going to
compete for anything worth the damn And that's the way
(12:58):
it's looking like it's going to be this year. In
this article, he says he's not going to come back
unless he is ready, he's healthy. There is a part
in this article where he talks about I wish somebody
for the team kept me out in that series against
the Knicks and it's just I gotta be fully honest
with you and tell you that like it's robbing me
(13:18):
the wrong way. And again, I gotta read the full
article because it goes in and I'm not trying to
make this out to be, you know, something that it's not.
Maybe I might even get it wrong because I didn't
read the whole damn thing. But at the end of
the day, the you know, building up a Joel embiide,
I don't need it. Maybe some do. Maybe people need
(13:39):
to be reminded of how great he was. People need
to be reminded of how much of a warrior he
was to compete, how often hurt he was, and still
went out there even though he missed all those games.
That's fine, that's for them, and they could give you
that opinion that they were wrong. I have never been
wrong about Jewel Embiid. I've been number one in his
corner this whole time. Never wanted to get rid of him,
(14:00):
never could get rid of him, never wanted to trade him.
I thought you were an idiot if you would have
traded him after his MVP season. Never been wrong about
anything Joel Embiid. And I can't say that about you know,
certain athletes, I really can't like. He's the one guy
that I have been spot on with this whole damn time,
from the time he was drafted. So when the Sixers
(14:21):
in up pulling the number for him and getting that pick,
he was the guy. And I know it was winless
for Wiggans that year, but I was saying, Joelle Embiid
looks like what he was doing in that limited time
with Kansas was blown me away. And then he saw
that that what was it the warm up video or
it was in Cleveland State. I think he even got
(14:41):
hurt in that workout video, if I'm not mistaken, but
it was just like, that's the guy right there. But
here we are, and when you drafted Joel Embiid, and
what I did say then, and it's what I'm saying now.
A guy of that size is going to lose out
father time, probably sooner than later. And he's thirty one
(15:03):
years old. And I think the Sixers have gotten a
ton out of Joel Embiid. He's been here for a
long long time. But I can't get down with the
rah rah stuff right now. This team, this franchise is
a disaster. And the contracts that you gave to Paul
George and Joel Embiid two years ago, and specifically speaking
(15:24):
about Darryl Mory are going to blow up if they
haven't already. And I just I don't know if this
team isn't going to be able to win with the players,
because you know, you'd like to believe that Nick Nurse
is a good coach. When they hired him, I was
saying it. I last year left a lot of emptiness,
a lot of void with that that you know statement.
(15:44):
But where I'm at right now, everything is fresh, it's new.
You get Maxie, you get McCaine, you get some young
guns in here. They have some decent pieces, and I
think it's about being simple, having a simple approach to
this upcoming season where we're talking about just being in entertaining,
watching the games, playing hard, allowing MAXI to take the baton,
(16:05):
building these young players up, seeing the athleticism front and center,
and maybe getting to the playoffs. We talked about that
a ton last year. Oh how bad Useter is? Anybody
mixed the playoffs? Sure well the Sixers did not. They
should this year. If everybody stays healthy from those young guns,
I do think that they will be competing for a
playoff spot, and that's all I can ask for at
(16:27):
this point in time. But the whole dwell THEMBI and
trying to build him up. I don't need that. I
don't need that. And you know, I'm sure that people
will take you know, and those words and probably have
a take or two on them. But that's that's how
I feel. I'm good on the Jowell embiid think pieces
right now. Or we're supposed to praise him, I've been
(16:47):
doing it all along. He's been one of, if not
the best player in the damn league. He didn't get
that MVP award because he didn't deserve it and everybody
had Joker fatigue. No, he was the MVP of the
league in that damn year. Like I said, been spot
on about Jojo. Here we are now. The reality of
where we're at. It's ugly and I don't think that
(17:09):
anything is going to improve. I can't even believe. On Monday,
after I got done doing that hit with Sam Ostri
where we discussed specifically that there will be times this
season where Paul George will not be out there. And look,
I don't think we're stating we are stayed in the office.
I don't think we're stating anything that nobody thought would
be a possibility. He's thirty five years old. I think
(17:31):
we needed temper those expectations the first day he signed
the contract, and even more so now. And I do
feel for him again, like I get it. It's not
what we wanted. Nobody wants see anybody get hurt. But
he's here, and he's getting another surgery and he's not
gonna be ready. And when he does come back in
the middle of season, what exactly getting for Paul George.
We're gonna have to go through that song and dance. Oh,
(17:52):
you gotta ramp him up, gotta get him, you gotta
get him healthy. He's not that good. He's not that
player anymore. So it's just been a disaster of a
situation that Darryl Morey has brought on by bringing in
Paul George, give him a four year deal and of
course rewarding Jowell and Bid for everything he's been through
with the Sixers organization and giving him a new contract.
We'll see how it plays out, though, bold strategy, as
(18:14):
they say, all right, the NBA again, we talked a
lot of Sixers in the past few weeks, which is
pretty funny because you know, all season long, there wasn't
anything that I really wanted to get into too much
when it comes to the Philadelphia seventy six ers. But
at the end, you know, the NBA has done a
great job. Do you want to point out though, Bradley Beal,
though we talked a little bit about this, Bradley Beal
(18:35):
is now joining the Clippers. And if you listen to
the show before me, which is Colin Cowherd, Jason McIntyre
was his producer slash Sports anchor update host and he
likes to say some things from time to time to
get a reaction, but he was making the case that
he feels like, if Bradley Beal was with the Lakers,
you can go ahead and start talking about the Lakers
(18:56):
potentially being a championship contender. And I think with a
Luca that will be motivated and hopefully that is the
case from everything has took place this offseason. Of course,
being traded from Dallas and oh, by the way, playing
with Lebron James. I do think that the Lakers were
going to be somewhat contenders. I didn't think that they
were going to win it all. Last year, but I
(19:17):
did think they showed flashes. They played well against all
the great teams. The Oklahoma City Thunder, I think they
beat them. The Denver Nuggets, they played well against. Like Lakers.
Are the Lakers Lebron out there, no doubt, but they
didn't get them. They didn't get Bradley Beal, and I
wasn't too high on Beal going to the Lakers. To
be honest with you, I don't think Bradley Buial is
that good of a player. And I might be wrong
(19:37):
on that. He could prove me wrong. But at the
end of the day, man, what did he do with Phoenix?
It was it was a bad spot, bad stop for
Bradley Beal. He underperformed and every opportunity he had with
the Phoenix Suns. So they got out of that deal,
which was a five year deal. They wave and stretched
the remaining money on his contract and he only played
(19:59):
two seasons. So now he joins the Clippers and it's
one of those deals where it's like, all right, just
continue to add these big name players to help James
Hard and Kawhi Leonard, you know, the the the addition
of Beal, I get it. They've ended up making the move.
They traded Norman Powell, and now you got the potential
(20:20):
for a big lineup in there with everybody, like we
just discussed. But I don't look at Bradley Beal as
a championship player, someone that's going to come in and
fill the role and be the good player and you know,
be a good teammate. I just don't think that this
is a championship type of move for the l A Clippers.
(20:41):
And I never looked at the Clippers too much as
a contender, but there were moments last year where you
know what you were saying to yourself, like could the
Clippers be potentially a team that you don't want to face?
And they had the opportunity, and they didn't show up,
and they ended up losing that first series to Denver.
If I'm not mistaken, it was a series that I
(21:01):
wanted to see the Clippers win. But even point blank,
if you give Clippers Bradley Beal last year, I still
don't think that they win that series. Clippers right now
to win the west On draftings sportsbook didn't really move much.
They're fourteen to one. You got six teams in front
of them, including the Golden Stair, Warriors, Lakers, Tea Wolf's, Nuggets, Rockets,
(21:23):
and Oklahoma City Thunder. NBA front and center with all
these moves in the offseason. Not exactly the crazy offseason
that Shams was kind of putting out there a couple
months ago, but you know what does have us talking
about it and Summer League rolling on right now. Haven't
paid too much attention to the Summer League. Did see
jenn I Broom have himself a good day yesterday, which
(21:45):
is great to see. But all in all, the NBA
has done a great job capitalizing on the drama of
the league and of course the trades and everything like
that in the off season. All right, we'll keep it moving.
Daily Ticket rolling on here. We hit a little bit
from the All Star Game yesterday, and we did have
some controversy when it comes to the world of sports
(22:06):
books paying out a game on the money line. Yeah,
the All Star Game struck up some controversy in the
sports gambling world. I'll give you those details on the
other side. The Daily Ticket more coming down the home
(23:23):
stretch here, Swinging and ning it coming up next, All
Things Open Championship with Moose Mays, Dan y'all heading to
Northern Ireland. I haven't got the bug yet to head
out there. I do, you know, I do have the
(23:45):
jealousy kick in when they open up the season for
college football, right we got Kansas State Iowa State. I
think that's the first game this year in Ireland. And
then last year we had what Navy and Georgia Tech.
Wasn't that the game? No, no, no, no? It was
Florida State in Georgia Tech. I think Navy was the
year before anyways, if I'm messing that up, But which
(24:09):
was a great game? Yeah we had the upset no one.
But you know, I haven't had like that drive, like man,
I gotta get the Ireland and it's beautiful. I can
only imagine it would make you emotional walking around that place.
But I haven't had like Man, I'm still locked into
like the beach man, Like I still if you give
(24:31):
me vacation, you give me the opportunity, you know, Like
Italy is a place I've always wanted to go to,
no doubt, but man, I'm still like, just put me
into Bahamas. There's nothing better than the Bahamas, dude, Obahamas
is the best. It's a quick flight. You know, you
feel like you're in wherever you want. Turks and cakeos
to Aruba. But like I said, it's a hop, skipping
(24:51):
and jump and you're there. That's why I love about
the Bahamas. And I've been to Aruba a lot, but
you know, I would take Bahamas over a life. Anyways,
Maybe one year I'll get out to Ireland. Sure, it'd
be great, have a couple of Guinnesses out there, play
some golf, that would be great. That would be great
to get out there and see exactly how those links
courses work live and in person, but ultimately not on
(25:16):
the radar at this point in time in my life.
We'll see what happens there, but I'm sure that they'll
be discussing all things Open Championship coming your way, So
I'm going to dig it on the other side. Oh
by the way, six o'clock football is King. McLay and
Beef talking some NFC football is King year round. We
talked football right here on the Gambler, Nick McClay, Ryan
(25:36):
Beef Coyle at six pm. They'll take over the airwaves
at that point in time. All right, Like I said,
coming down the home stretch closing up shop here, did
have a little bit of an issue last night. I
don't know if you were able to catch this, but
in the Major League Baseball All Star Game again, it
was all tied up at nine or after nine innings,
(25:57):
tied up at six, and it acquired the first ever
home run all swing off home run swing off that
our own Kyle Schwarber ended up getting the job done
for the National League. This out sounded.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Schorber in the air to center field, heading towards the wall.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
That's center huge for the National League. They're with him one,
So there you go. He said, if he could get
it on his first swing, and he did.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Job shre BOMs in the All Star Game, tied it free.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
That's MVP material if he gets the third one right here, Hey,
I rallied in the game.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
N L has rallied in the swing of.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Track Lookout chop House. Nationally text only four to three
love the lookout chop House, and balls were flying all
over the place. As far as in the All Star Game,
it was a pretty good All Star game right entertaining anyway,
short we ended up winning the MVP. You heard it
(27:09):
right there, forty to one plus four thousand. Now putting
that to the side, let's talk about the money line
here and why was an issue for some sports books
because you got to read the fine print. Not an
issue for sports books. It's an issue for people who
don't read the fine print when it comes to certain
games like that. And yes, majority of the games are
you know, are won or lost and regulation or extra innings,
(27:31):
extra time, whatever it is. But something like this where
it's an exhibition, you just never know a lot like
preseason football you run into this sort of thing, or
summer league hoops, you know, some stuff like that. And
so I don't think people were putting crazy money, but
you do know that there are people out there that
are like, you know, what's the only thing to wage around,
Let's have a play here on the nash League or
(27:52):
the American League. But here's the deal. Circus Sports and
Caesars ruled the money line bet a push due to
the fact of the fine print. It's how sports books
grade the wagers, and they're very upfront. I know the
folks over there at Circus Sports very well, and they
often talk about this. Read the fine print. Know what
(28:13):
your sports book operator has your rules from the sports
books when you are wagering on seid games. Again, twenty
five bucks, fifty bucks. You're not too worried about it,
no doubt, but there are people out there that probably
had five thousand hour wager on it. Now you're talking
about some money that you know would have been nice
in your pocket with a National League victory. Instead, you
get the push. You didn't lose, but you get the push.
(28:36):
But in the flip side, you could have the American
League which was a loss, and you end up getting
the pushed there, So it works both ways on that one. However,
FanDuel and a DraftKings sports book did grade it for
a win for the National League. So bottom line is
always always always read the fine print. Finally, I do
want to end on this one. I thought it was
pretty cool for the the ABS Check Challenge system to
(29:01):
be right there, front and center and be successful the
way that it did. So if you watch the game
last night, you saw schoolble the specific incident, it's a
specific situation. Excuse me? Was Machado and school Bull's a
ball cal ball schoobl taps the helmet, taps the hat,
boom Eighteen seconds later, pops up on the jumbo tron boom.
(29:22):
You see it. Balls in the zone strike and I
love it, and I think for people out there that
are reluctant to go into the robot world when it
comes to umpires, there it was case in point. It works,
it's quick, and it's easy, and on top of it,
it does not steal the suspense. That's the big key
component for me is that the suspense is still there.
(29:43):
If you watch tennis, it's the same technology, but if
you don't, Essentially what it's going to do is going
to show the ball slow motion, get into that zone. Boom,
it will hit the square. If it's a square, you
could see it. If it touches the square, it's a strike.
If it doesn't, it's a ball. That's that easy. And
I think if you give me a three to two count,
bases loaded or runners on second, third, two outs, whatever
(30:05):
it may be, and you get that situation to a batter,
next thing, you know, whether hey man, he gets called
strike three and he's like no, no, no, no, challenge it.
I think that's suspense. I think that's pretty cool. So
the only frustrating thing is why Major League Baseball doesn't
have it in their games today. Make it happen today.
(30:27):
That right there, and that's not robots. That's assistance. That's
not robot umpires, that's not a robot strike zone, and
that's what will be the next thing. It's like, well,
if we can get all these colds right when we
do them all, I get it. I understand it. But
these umpires, it's a difficult job, and majority are hitting
that ninety three percent accuracy, if not more, except for
(30:47):
Phil Cuzy, but even then, I think he's right around
that mark, to be fair to him, but I think
you give that that element into Major League Baseball, especially
when we're talking playoff games. Come on, man, you know, Manfred,
you're a guy that can make things happen. Go ahead
and do that in the world of baseball. All right,
comesh all right. Fun show today tomorrow live in studio
(31:08):
at sam Austrey. Natalie Egenhoff will join us at the
five o'clock hour. We'll talk about things Philly sports with
that and have some fun. Tomorrow tomorrow. Join Ella's gonna
join us live from Vegas. He's out there watching the
Summer League, also doing a hit. I heard him this afternoon.
I'm Vison. So we'll talk some NFL and some college
football because I'm sure he's got some wagers going on,
and he's got a new situation going on that he's
(31:31):
a part of out there in Boston. The Boston Sports Handicappers,
I want to say, is the name. So make sure
you tune in tomorrow. Julian will join us at three thirty.
As I said, Sam will be in studio, full show
and it will be a great show. Simply to go
off of the Jewell embiide article that I will read
a little bit later tonight. Swing it and ding it is.
Next Football is King coming up at six o'clock with
(31:54):
