Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
A little strip pocket change for this weekend.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well look no further than Paramount Sports.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Lee Sterling did tell me, you know, just thinking to myself,
it might be time for a new open for this guy.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Why this one's like thirty years old. Wow, world, so's Lee.
It's true. Think gets fits, It's true.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
The demo yeah a far if our aim is to
talk to uh senior gamblers, senior degenerate gamblers than.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
It all was.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
I think a lot of the they have the disposable income. Why,
like guys like me have got to put kids through college.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
I remember when Tom Lee came to me about thirty
years ago and said, I got this guy. He's a handicaper.
He wants to come on the air. His name's Lee Sterling.
I was like, okay, fine, put him on the air.
So it was like thirty years ago and here we are.
Do you guys realize actually thirty years ago today, I
was hired at the stupid radio station.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Thirty years ago. I'll take your work a versary.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Thirty thirty years of happy work of versary. That's why
you celebrating. You know what, I'll buy your lemonade?

Speaker 2 (01:06):
How about that? By by a hard lemonade there, that's
mine right there, Lee? How are you palace going on?

Speaker 4 (01:12):
I'm good? How about mind me byce opening?

Speaker 3 (01:15):
That's always good.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
We want to date ourselves, right, you know?

Speaker 1 (01:19):
I was watching that the other night and I love
that show and I always wanted to be Sonny and
it didn't turn out that way.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Instead, I'm sitting here talking to you.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
You didn't really look like Don Johnson?

Speaker 2 (01:31):
No, no, never, never, never never. I went down there,
Lee does, but not me? Uh like Johnson? Well not
really a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Let's well, if Don Johnson woke up and was Jewish,
maybe i'd people looked likely. Sterling thirty twenty nine and
one overall two and three last week, but still a
game over. So got to get back on track here.
Why don't we start with apparently the biggest game of
the PAC twelve. I don't know why these two teams
aren't playing, by the way, at the end of the year.
They both have a game next week, but Wazoo is

(02:02):
at Oregon State and the Cougars are giving now eleven
and a half.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
What do you make of the cougs and beams in Corvallas?

Speaker 4 (02:09):
So air Force isn't known for having a great defense,
especially this season. Yet this was Oregon State's offense. First
six possessions on Saturday, three and out, interception, four and out,
four and out, three and out, and six and out
total of one hundred and six total yards. They're gonna
get more chances with the ball than they had in

(02:30):
the eight possession game against air Force's time consuming flex
phone offense. But Washington State figures to score faster than
air Force did and probably about as frequently. Here Wazoo's
offense is twenty seven touchdowns this year and just six interceptions.
They've also scored twenty four rushing touchdowns. Pretty nice balance

(02:52):
the Beavers passing offense four touchdowns, nine interceptions in ten games.
We're going with Wazoo here.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
All right.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
The marquee game of the week Ohio States against Indiana.
I could have sworn this game with two touchdowns, and
now it's only ten and a half.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
So is it the money's coming in on Indiana?

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Is that right? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:13):
I think it's partially because Ohio State lost their All
American center, but kid backing them up would probably start
for more than eighty percent of the other teams. How
about this stet last fourteen times an undefeated top five
team has been a double digit underdog. That undefeated underdog,
oh and fourteen straight up and just five and nine

(03:34):
against the spread. Gee, I love Kurt Signetti. That is
telling ste that's just telling you the line probably right,
being double digits. And I like Kurtzignetti. I like their
offense a lot, but their defense hasn't faced even one
good offense, not even at top forty offense. Listen to
some of the offenses they faced FIU Western Illinois, Charlotte

(03:58):
who fired their coach, Northwestern they can't score if you
gave him six downs every time they got a first down.
And Nebraska that fired their offensive coordinator. Too big of
a step up for him. Here Ohio State thirty eight
to seventeen.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
All right, take the buck eys and give the points.
Ravens at Chargers Monday Night in La Ravens are given three.
Who do you like Justin Herbert versus Lamar Jackson on
Monday bel yep.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
The hard ball here. I'm gonna go with the Chargers,
better defense at home getting a field goal. I think
the blueprint was laid out with Pittsburgh last week taking
down that Baltimore secondary and I think that the Chargers
wide receivers may be the most improved unit in the NFL.
Run good routes, get separation, and hold on to the ball. Here,

(04:47):
the team is favored. We're gonna go with the LA
Chargers twenty four to twenty.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
All Right, green Bay minus five against San Francisco. I
just read Lee that this is the first time thirty
six games the Niners have been underdogs. That was the
third longest streak in the history of the NFL, behind
the Patriots and the greatest show on thurds.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
So should should.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
San Francisco be this big of dogs against Green Bay?

Speaker 4 (05:14):
So they opened up as a one point favorite, they're
now a two and a half point underdog. They're five
and five. Yeah, they've blown three fourth quarter leads last
week to the Seahawks, also to the Cards and the Rams.
They're five and five. But the Packers are seven and three,
and I don't think they're that great here. Their past
three victories have been by combined six points. Here, their

(05:36):
quarterbacks ord In Love not playing great ball, leads the
league and throwing the most interceptions in eleven and he's
played at least two fewer games and all the other
starting quarterbacks here, and I think their past defense isn't good.
I think not having Kittle hurt San Francisco psychologically going
that game last week when he was a scratch. I
like San Francisco another wrong team favorite. San Francisco straight up.

(06:00):
Twenty eight, twenty.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Four, all right, Seahawks Arizona. Then on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
The Hawks are fifteen and sixteen now lee in their
last thirty one games at Looming Field since the fans
were brought back after COVID. Dick and I have talked
about this that the home field advantage is kind of
a thing of the.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Past for now.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Cardinals have also lost five in a row to the
Seahawks overall, and the Hawks are getting one at home
on Sunday against the Cardinals.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
So Seattle, I believe, is going to be able to
continue to win here. Coming off that game last week,
Arizona was rolling and then they go to the bye
week that just killed all the momentum. So give Jonathan
Gannon and the staff credit after going owing six in
the division last year. They're two to zero within the

(06:47):
NFC West here. But I just think the receiving corps
here for Seattle is going to do too much damage.
I like Seattle, it's going to go back and forth,
but they come out on top thirty to twenty seven,
and you really need to win from now on. Just
ask my daughter to sing the national anthem. Are you
ready for this?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (07:05):
She's singing in Chicago this weekend for the Bears and Vikings.
She has sang the national anthem fourteen times for NFL, college's, NBA,
and also Major League Baseball on a couple of the
teams were like the Marlins twice every single time she

(07:27):
sang for the home team, they not only won, they
covered even Last year with the Bears with Tyson badging
again quarterback weekend, she is arrogant this weekend for the
Vikings Bears game. So the Bears are getting three and
a half. Hint, hint, you might want to take the
Bears if they win this game? Out right, she'll move,
She'll move to fifteen and h all right, well it's

(07:49):
the bonus pick.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, but that sick's going to end at some points.
Fourteenth straight.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Wow, you can't think that way, Dave can't.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yesterday day Bears Bears plus the three and a half
against Minnesota, do we still get the Colorado Kansas game too.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Eight game you send your email on Colorado Kansas.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
I'm gonna do Yeah, I'm gonna give you that game
for free. All they need to do is called eight
hundred four hundred nine seven four one. I'll give them
the game for free. Eight hundred four hundred nine seven
for one. Get Colorado on Kansas. A lot on the
line for this game and my college football Game of
the Year goes tomorrow. I will send it to you, guys,
