Here’s a tip. Some machines and online games have higher average payouts than others. Want to try to maximize your odds while do some research online to find games which have the highest RTP or return to player percentage. So now go get lucky. See you in lost pages. Let’s get lucky. The two guys that can do it all. It’s too much electricity this morning. This is a good time. We’re having a lot of fun. I had to do a triple take. Ka ching. Why? Because of parody? I didn’t mean to offend. Yeah, it’s not going to happen. Road management is a dirty word. Let him rip. You know what circumstances provide the results? What? How do you do this one? Oh, Donnie, you got such a good show there. A network that is booming. The early line only on sports grid. You’re so, so close that we’re barely going to be getting any value. On the plus side of things, I think there’s a little bit of value on the Blue Jays today, but it’s an awesome division. Like, I don’t want to see teams running away and be up by 12 games in first place. We want to see teams constantly battling for first place. They hit a team total, I love that. So as many times as we get bad beats, you do get the same amount of good beats, typically in your direction. If you wait long enough. Pro baseball today only on Sports Grid, the game is on, the stakes are high, but the action isn’t just on the field. Rearranging that rhythm. Get it inside sports grids in game Live, your ultimate second screen experience a couple of ten and a half point live wine. Every prop, every play, every day. Anything can happen. It’s complete chaos. Ha ha. It’s smarter to be on sports. Let’s roll. This is sports rage, I am Gabriel Moran. To the players, to the hustlers and people to bust them and everybody else in between. The Friday night pre show has begun. Sports grid radio and television network Sirius XM channel 159 and A party at the garden has begun, as well as the New York Knicks rolling the Boston Celtics this evening 92 to 51. Right now, the party has started inside and outside of the garden. It’s hard to believe the Knicks are going back to the conference finals for the first time in 25 years. It’s like really like there’s a lot of these sort of when you hear these, these historical facts sometimes, like they blow your mind. Right. Like the fact that like, this is the first time since like 2004 that three teams from Canada have been in the second round of the NHL playoffs, or the fact that out of 110 players get this, 110 players have scored 400 or more goals in the. In the NHL, Auston Matthews is the only one not to score a goal in the second round of the playoffs. Like if I was on a sports trivia show. Like, I would never get that. Like Auston Matthews never scored a goal out outside the first round of the playoffs at all. Oh. Oh, right on cue, right on cue, right on cue. I just will not to happen. Auston Matthews breaks the scoreless draw one nothing. Toronto Maple Leafs with 1340 left. Wow. Mid-sentence. You gotta love it. The reverse, the reverse. Announcer jinx. Like he’s the only player ever. Like it’s pretty crazy. I saw that tonight before the game earlier today, I retweeted it. I’m like, you gotta be kidding me. 110 players who scored 400 or more goals in the NHL. And he’s the only one with 400 regular season goals, and he’s never scored a goal outside of the first round of the playoffs before. Well, there it is. He just scored one. Nothing for the Toronto Maple Leafs 1340 remaining in this hockey game. And the stakes get a little bit higher. And the tension rises as Leafs Nation no doubt ecstatic in Toronto. They haven’t done the live shot outside the arena yet for whatever reason. So one nothing for the Toronto Maple Leafs. And look, the next big party. We’ve always said the Knicks and the Leafs are the same. You know, although the difference is the Knicks just played a team without Jayson Tatum. Like, you know I mean they gotta they gotta lose Bobrovsky and Kachuk and Seth Jones and Barkov and oh god. Florida nearly just tied it just like that. All right. So the total was two and a half coming into this period. It’s still two and a half right now. Over two and a half is -200 though. One nothing Toronto Maple Leafs -320 on the money line. All right. So we’ll get back to this big night tonight. Like I said massive big party going to be going on in New York. It’s there’s always a party in New York. But it’s gonna be a big party in Manhattan tonight outside the garden after the Knicks punch their ticket, go to the conference finals. Good news, bad news. Listen, it’s good for basketball. It’s good for the NBA when the Knicks are good. And man, now the Panthers are pressing right now they’ve they’ve come close a couple of times. But I don’t know if I’m prepared I don’t want to. Like I can’t handle a spike Lee Reggie Miller sort of thing for like two weeks being jammed down my throat. And that’s what we’re going to order. You know, Reggie Miller is like, yeah, yeah, we know Reggie Miller does the games too, doesn’t he? You know, so I was going to take a couple of more shots. I’m like, well we’ll save the we don’t need to start firing bullets this early into the program. All right. So the knick game is a wash. This hockey game is legit. But the WNBA right. We’re here to bet that’s what we do here on the grid. The WNBA is back. And it’s been a high scoring night in the in the association tonight the women’s association. So Golden State I don’t know if they were San Francisco. So they’re called Golden State. They’re not like I thought they were the San Francisco Valkyries. What is a Valkyrie anyways. Well like what is a valkyrie like we have you punch up Valkyrie basically like a hot, like, sort of Japanese anime girl pops up like it seems to me that’s like what a Valkyrie is. It’s a good name, you know, a good name for a women’s basketball team. But yeah. So I guess they’re Golden State. Whatever. I thought they were San Francisco. So it’s their first game. They played some preseason games. It’s their first season. Toronto joins the league next year. Actually the Toronto Tempo. That’s the name of the team in Toronto. The tempo. We took Golden State here tonight or San Francisco, whatever the hell they’re called. Don’t they actually play in San Francisco? They don’t play in Oakland. So I don’t know. Whatever the deal is, I’m now I’m perturbed by this. Right? All this real stuff going on in the world. I’m bothered by this name. Is it really the sports book? I gotta look into this, but nevertheless, I don’t. I don’t see why the LA sparks should be laying six points in this game. The LA sparks are not a very good team. They’re they’re up and coming. They got a bunch of you know, young players. Cameron Brink is still injured right now. Swear to God this girl you see her everywhere except on a basketball court. So anyways Cameron Break is still injured. And you know, it’s the first it’s the first game. It’s the inaugural game. You know the team’s going to be all fired up. And you know that first night the memories. And not to mention if you look at their preseason results the Valkyries they were winning games. They were losing games by one like they were. It was always close and always the preseason. But the, the starters play in the preseason in the WNBA. So I don’t think they’re going to be overmatched in their first game. Maybe by the end of the year they’re going to suck. But I took the plus six with the Valkyries and we went over the number as well. Both games went over tonight in the WNBA so far, so it’s a lot of scoring. The big time game is tomorrow. You got the big games tomorrow, the aces and the Liberty. And of course it’s all about Caden Clark, Caitlin Clark and the Chicago Sky. They get the national TV treatment. Indiana Fever eight point favorites. Total one 68.5. So that’s for the gents right there. A little WNBA action. Give me the Valkyries. Plus the six and over the one 63.5. If you really want to go tonight. And we feel like going down tonight. And that being said, because not a lot of playoff games going on here, we got one NBA game. It’s a blowout. We got a big league game going on with the Panthers. It’s cool. But let’s take the Abbotsford Canucks. The Vancouver Canucks might suck, but Abbotsford does not. The Abbotsford Canucks are the AHL affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks, obviously, and they’re good. They’re having a really, really good year. They’re still playing in the playoffs right now. They’re they’re hosting the Colorado Eagles, the Avs team. So it’s Avs versus Canucks essentially NHL style. The Canucks are -110 home dogs. The Eagles are -120 favorites on the road. We took the Abbotsford Canucks in this game. So Major League Baseball we do got we got some late night games tonight though. Major League Baseball including you know what it’s rivalry. It’s rivalry weekend right. So we got the angels and the Dodgers. They haven’t started yet. They’re getting ready to start. Seattle’s up one. Nothing on San Diego I freaking hate these 940 starts for this show to start the damn game at 10:00. All right 7:00 Pacific. But I like the Mariners tonight. The Mariners were dogs tonight. They’re they’re -125 right now. It’s one nothing. That’s not that bad. I’m going to jump in on the Mariners at -125. I gotta the gut feel pick of the night. I sort of I looked at that, I’m like, hey, you know what? Seattle’s going to beat San Diego tonight. And so they’re up one nothing. You get a -125 right now the Dodgers listen these guys -350 like dear God the Dodgers minus one and a half is -180. Right now I’m looking here I’m like are you sure this game hasn’t started. And it’s like four nothing or something like, you gotta be kidding me. It’s -350 at minus one and a half. -180. As the Dodgers, we saw what they did throughout the week. Just absolutely murdering murdering teams after they dropped the first game. That’s what they do. Sometimes that’s a massive number with the Dodgers parlay material Eric Gordon is going to be out parlay the Dodgers and Oklahoma City. Enter into the magical world of.

Join the fun where winners play and players win. The two guys that can do it all. It’s too much electricity this morning. This is a good time. We’re having a lot of fun. I had to do a triple take. Why? Because of parody? I didn’t mean to offend. Yeah, it’s not going to happen. Road management is a dirty word. Let him rip. You know what circumstances provide the results? What? How do you do this one? Oh, Donny, you got such a good show there. A network that is booming. The early line only on sports grid. Anyone that’s been to a sporting event, the atmosphere before a game. I think game time decisions has that same exact atmosphere. This is our arena. This is what we do. There is going to be an energy to game time decisions that you will feel night in and night out, the excitement you get when you when you lock your bets in, when you’re figuring out what you want to do. We can zone in on the biggest games each night. I want this to be the place that people come to before the game start, so they feel as ready as possible to lock in their cards. We are going to hit every single one of those markets that you need to know about. We’re going to go through every single thing, and I’ve got a great team behind me that’s going to help me get the job done. There is not going to be a better place, I promise you, than game time decisions to get that new information, react to it and be able to then bet accordingly. We will have everything at our disposal and we will use that to our advantage. I’m Kevin Walsh. Tune in to game time decisions from 6 to 8 p.m. Eastern on Sports Grid. Did you know sports books tend to draw up tighter bet lines for events that get even more bettors, like championship games or major matchups? My tip try betting on less popular sports. You might have a better shot at beating those odds. Now go get lucky. See you in Las Pages. Let’s get lucky. Sports rage I’m a Friday night freak. Show has begun. And we’ve got a lot of stuff going on, including a high intensity elimination game right now in sunrise, Florida. One nothing for the Toronto Maple Leafs. A little over seven minutes remaining, the Panthers are pressing. Although is this a penalty or is this offside coming up here right now? I think it’s just offside. Florida have come close to scoring a couple of times in the last couple of minutes. Joseph Wall has stepped up big tonight and mid-sentence, as I was saying, 110 players in NHL history have scored 400 or more goals. Auston Matthews was the only one of them not to ever have a single goal past the first round of the playoffs, which is pretty. That’s not you know, that’s like almost impossible to do and not a list you want to be on. And as I was telling you guys that boom, Auston Matthews actually scores the goal, he took a stick to the face earlier. Should have been a penalty. It wasn’t called. Matthew Knies is injured right now. Like the Leafs are really, really trying to gut this one out right now. And they’re close to doing it, but not really like seven minutes. Might as well be 70 minutes. Like for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Like they said, a lot of hockey left in this game right now. They’re not they’re like the New York Knicks eliminated the stress tonight. The Knicks just punched the Celtics in the mouth and said yeah there’s no stress. There’s going to be a party for us. We’ll bring in Tommy Lorenzo and Cam Stewart. I’ll throw it to you first. Tommy, did you pull the trigger tonight with the New York Knicks and or the Leafs? Florida Panthers. Any action for you on these two games right now? Neither of those games, actually. I got a future ticket on the Dallas Stars. So when they’re on TV, I’m focused on in terms of Stanley Cup playoffs. But you know NBA man that’s going to be it’s going to be really interesting I think you know OKC being favored and all. They haven’t looked you know that great I think they’re very vulnerable to be you know favored right now and for you know to win the championship. So pretty interesting on both sides. But yeah I agree with you though Florida I was watching a little bit of that game hockey wise. They they came out a little flat. We’ll see what happens though. We’ve discussed the Oklahoma City Thunder future price a lot this week actually. Yet it’s and we’ll get we’ll get back to it because you know I want to get into the live action. But you know it’s a pendulum swing. And now it looks like Aaron Gordon’s not going to play in this game on Sunday. He’s got a he’s got a tight hamstring and the number is shot up. It’s eight and a half right now. The money line keeps climbing. I don’t think everybody in the world is clued in to this right now on this big you know on a big Friday night of sports. But Oklahoma City suddenly are going to win this game for sure I think. So they’re they’re going to the conference finals. And I, I agree it’s kind of been, you know, hit or miss for them a little bit. But I’m going to tip my cap instead of saying, oh, like they’re not you know, that they haven’t played great, that you know what? They’ve shown a lot of toughness. Not easy to beat the Nuggets and Yokich and they’ve shown resiliency. They’re not used to playing in close games. They murder everybody all the time. They played in some close games now. And it’ll be a fun, fun match up after to see to see how they match up with the Minnesota Timberwolves. That’ll be a fun series. And just for the record, the sports books haven’t hesitated. New York Knicks Open is four and a half point favorites in game one over the Pacers on Wednesday night. Total two 20.5 right now. So the Toronto Maple Leafs as I stated gutsy performance. Nobody believed in them. We did pull the trigger tonight at plus 195 saying you know what, it doesn’t make any sense. But my belief actually and I don’t want to mush this was that it’s going the way it is right now. I thought that Joseph Wall would be the difference. I was like, you know, if the Leafs win, they’re going to have to win like 2 or 3, nothing or something. It’ll be Joseph Wall plays. Well. I thought one of their grinders could score for them. But cam, Matthew Knies such a big part of this team. He’s he got hurt and he’s out there and he can barely skate. Auston Matthews takes a stick to the face like this. This has been a very, very uphill climb for the Toronto Maple Leafs, but they’ve done a great job tonight. They played with a ton of heart this evening. This is what their fan base wants to see from them. And they’ve they’ve delivered tonight. Great call Marenzi. I’ve never been prouder of a team that was one of the best first period road periods I’ve seen from this team all season long. They’re protecting wall walls made saves when he’s have to. Guys are playing hurt on this team I love. Tavares is throwing things at the net, not to mention two Gabe, two Panthers almost killed their goalie and Max Domi at the same time when they hit him from behind and Bobrovsky’s mask flew off. But the Leafs are hanging on by a thread right now. Everybody’s banged up, but this is playoff hockey. You got to take it to the finish line. The Florida Panthers are champions for reasons and they score a lot of late goals. But we talked about it on the show last night Gabe I got that 540 in the series. Price. If the Leafs win tonight, I got a plus 540 in my back pocket heading into game seven. 200 pace, $1,080. That’s the long way away from that. That’s that could be the problem. As I stated last night, you know, this would be a classic Leafs if they win this game and then go back home where suddenly they’re not very good. But that’s a great number that you got. We talked about it last night. The Leafs got as high as 33 to 1 to win the Stanley Cup. Tommy, these wild swings and I love the live market Tommy of the modern era where like they have like right now you got Stanley Cup championship odds going on live and they really do change after like a goal. Like, you know what I mean. Like a team will get scored on. It’s like, oh look this other team just went to plus 850 because this team just got scored on. It’s wild stuff to see how it plays out. But guys like I said, the Leafs got as high as 33 to 1. They’re 7 to 1 right now. And the Toronto Maple Leafs just made it two. Nothing in this game. Yes the Leafs two. Nothing. Toronto suck on that. Bennett. You like that? Yeah. Yeah. Yes. I can’t believe this is happening I was nervous. It’s not over. It’s not over, Gabe. But I had a feeling. And you said it too. I like them better on the road. In these situations. They don’t have to deal with the numb nuts and all the stuff back home. You just go into Florida, play tougher. Wow, Pacioretty, this is the hot tub time machine. Anyway, if we can win this game, game seven, it’s going to be awful. They don’t have to deal with fans like you that turn on them after games. Mike, please. I said some mean things, but it’s. I don’t care if Mitch Marner ever comes back. Trade. Auston Matthews hasn’t done anything. At least Matthew scored a goal. That’s what they’re paid to do. I’m actually a good Leafs fan. You should see some other ones are like, I’m not watching the game tonight. Watch a loser. No, I’m not quitting on this team. But it’s a gutsy effort and I’m really proud of it. And they set up. It’ll set up for great TV on Sunday. The drama now through the roof. That’s. Did you know sports books tend to draw up tighter bet lines for events that get even more bettors, like championship games or major matchups. My tip try betting on less popular sports. You might have a better shot at beating those odds. Now go get lucky. See you in Las Vegas. Let’s get lucky. They’ve won seven in a row. They’ve been dominant at Citi Field. Linda’s been insane. Pete Alonso has been raking. You know Griffin Canning David Peterson. Those guys have pitched really really well. And when you put it together with that lineup, especially like you said, Linda’s been great. You know they’ve got they’ve got the makings of something very special in Queens. Farrell coast to coast only on sports grid Derek Carr has called it a career after 11 NFL seasons. I think they knew before the draft that they had to make a move at this point. And by the way, Derek Carr did have a pretty good career, made as many Pro Bowls as Eli Manning. So based on that, he should go to the Hall of Fame like Eli Manning. Eli Manning does have a couple rings at that point, but always wanted to take a shot at Manning, who should not actually be in the Hall of Fame, shouldn’t be questioned in under 500 quarterback for his career. Stop the madness. The early line only on sports grid. The game is on. The stakes are high, but the action isn’t just on the field. Rearranging that ring. Get it inside. Sports grids in game Live, your ultimate second screen experience. A couple of 18.5 point live wine. Every prop, every play, every day. Anything can happen. It’s complete chaos. Ha ha. It’s smarter to be on sports grid. This is sports rage. I am Marazzi two. Nothing for the Toronto Maple Leafs right now. Five minutes remaining in the hockey game. Meanwhile at MSG right now the countdown is on. It’s almost like the ball drop on New Year’s Eve. The Knicks are up 107 to 74. In game total is 208 and a half. We’re in the garbage time here right now. It closed at 211, so it’s sort of around the number right now, but I would expect it not to get there. 1717 LA Sparks and Golden State. All the games went over earlier tonight the WNBA Tommy you like to dip your toes in different pools. You jump into the WNBA at all. Now that it’s back. Not one dime Gabe no way. I don’t do any any WNBA, NBA. I did my toes in slightly the WNBA. I kind of walk around the pond and take a look at the water. But but never, never, never pull the trigger on WNBA bet. What about the UFL? Do you bet the UFL? I mean, you know what? I was in Vegas not too long ago. I think it was last season or whenever. And yeah, I mean, I’ll, I’ll, I’ll take a look at that. And I don’t bet anything of any significance of course. But you know, it’s having action’s always fun, but you know, you pick your spots and where the money in your bankroll goes. And for me, WNBA isn’t, isn’t it? I know a lot of people do and it’s getting a lot more popular. So to have another option to bet, I think that’s great, but it’s not for me. I put the same amount tonight, I bet I bet the UFL game, like all this big stuff going on. You have this like ridiculously dumb UFL game on Fox right now. And it’s like between the only two teams that have already been eliminated in the playoffs, too. It’s like they’re really, really bad teams. But I you know, I do well with the UFL. Rob Vino will join us later. We’ll hit it San Antonio we’re driving the ball right now. Just for the record, it’s 2014. In the fourth quarter. Just started Memphis closes two point underdogs. They’re up by six. Total 37 37.5. They’re at 34 right now with a full quarter to go. And as I stated San Antonio already in field goal position right now. So we’ll keep our eye on all this stuff WNBA, UFL The Florida Panthers have pulled their goalie with 2.5 minutes left. It’s two nothing right now. So this is they’re either going to score. The Leafs can bury this and get this thing to three. And of course it is Preakness Preakness weekend as well. And we lit it up last time. Sovereignty gets it done. Unable to run in this race guys. And there’s been a lot of talk this week about this. And I don’t know they they’re going to listen and do it because they’re all about tradition and stuff like that Tommy. But if you really want to get a Triple Crown stuff going, I know this is the modern era and stuff should probably spread the races out a little bit more. Do you agree with that? Take that a lot of people have right now. I do agree. You know, all sports evolve and there’s so much tradition in in horse racing. But sometimes it’s a stubborn tradition with, you know, with things in horse racing, things changing. So yeah, I think so. I’m of, of the wild idea that these Triple Crown races, one of them should rotate every year because of just the terrible weather. I mean, if the Preakness was run today in Pimlico, that was that was a sloppy, you know, that was a much tomorrow. It looks like we’re going to have good weather which which is good. But yeah. No, I do think they should spread it out. The horses are getting that much more delicate. You know, the implications for breeding after and how they take care of these horses. I don’t see why it’s a big deal, why it wouldn’t be a big deal to extend the Triple Crown a little bit. Also to your point, Gabe, and it’s a very good one. Bill Mott is a different trainer. He’s kind of old school and he really loves his animals. There are certain trainers that will just make his horse run. And he said afterwards, if this horse is not ready to go and he’s not 100%, I’m not running him. It’s that simple. Another guy, sometimes you put out a horse there because you’re thinking about the Triple Crown and stuff like that. He’s like, sovereignty has been good to me and that’s the way it’s going to be. So to your earlier point, yes, spreading it out would make a hell of a lot more sense. It really would. But I, you know, but we also know guys that’s, you know, somebody that’s owned horse before, as we all know, the road to hell is paved with the best intentions. And horse racing guys, you could say, all right, we’re going to have the races two months separated in between. They’ll still get hurt. Cam, you know what I mean. They’ll get hurt training like like something, you know, taught me, right? Something bad will happen, right? It’s funny, there’s a saying in hell, even the owner of our network, who’s a very successful entrepreneur, Lou Marion, knows the line. He goes, if you really hate someone and you have an enemy, buy them a racehorse. Don’t you know it’s true? You don’t. You don’t kill them. You don’t like whatever. No, no, no, you don’t want to give them a racehorse to go here. It’s yours. It’s yours. You own the horse. That’s the best line. You really hate someone? Yes. It’s the saying in the business, if you really hate someone, give them a racehorse, not a barn. Just one. Then you’re done. Here’s a horse. It’s all yours. Did you know sportsbooks tend to draw up tighter bet lines for events that get even more bettors, like championship games or major matchups. My tip try betting on less popular sports. You might have a better shot at beating those odds. Now go get lucky. See you in Las Vegas. Let’s get lucky. They’ve won seven in a row. They’ve been dominant at Citi Field. Linda’s been insane. Pete Alonso’s been raking. You know Griffey canning David Peterson. Those guys have pitched really really well.

Your ultimate second screen experience. A couple of dollars and a half point lifeline. Every prop, every play, every day. Anything can happen. It’s complete chaos. Ha ha. It’s smarter to be on sports grid. And back to the six we go. As the Toronto Maple Leafs shut out the Florida Panthers two. Nothing. The series now tied at three. We’ve got a classic seven game set. And I tell you what. You figure at some point the Leafs can break through. Maybe this was their this was their breakthrough moment right now. Like whatever you guys did like just yeah. Don’t even go home. Like just sort of take the team playing, go right back to the arena and sit in the arena now or something like, you know what I mean? I’m dead serious too. Whatever. Like whatever routine leaf players have for home games. Like I would tell them to break it like and in fact, they actually do stay in a hotel. Anyways, I was going to say, you know what? I prefer if they’re in a hotel, but they actually are in a hotel. Teams in the playoffs don’t stay at home. When you hear all we sleep in our own beds and stuff. It’s not true. They don’t like they. The Leafs are staying at the Royal York. Basically it’s across. It’s right across the street from the arena essentially. I’m not saying they they’re not allowed to go home. But you know, I mean it’s the playoffs. You play better on the road. So like go with that road mentality I’d prefer it. You’re locked in a hotel like whatever. Don’t don’t look at the internet. Just watch some stupid movie on TV and you know what I mean, and get ready for the next, the next game. And now they’re talking about it on on the game only of the 110 players in NHL history with four or more goals, Auston Matthews is the only one never to score past the first round of the playoffs. He can now take his name off that list. Good stuff. All right, so let’s get into the Preakness right now. So journal journalism was the favorite. Journalism is journalism is back right now already any concern for you Tommy, as far as fatigue for journalism coming into this race? You you think that would be the concern. But, you know, I think the horse is ready just because they flipped them back to this race, they didn’t commit to the connections of journalism, didn’t commit to the Preakness immediately. They kind of waited a little bit. You know, I think they think the horse is sound. I think the field came out maybe a little weak without sovereignty coming back, and maybe some other horses staying away in the fields. Only nine horses. So I think journalism certainly live in this, but it’s just a matter if you want to eat the price on it, even money, if you’re lucky, he might go out less than that. So that’s really the thing with journalism. Yeah, he’s a horse to beat. But do you want to back him at 4 to 5 or whatever he’s going to go off at Bob Baffert’s horse goal orientated the one horse, 6 to 1 journalism, the two horse, 8 to 5 American promise 15 to 1 in the three hole heart of honor 12 to 1 pay Billy 20 to 1 in the five spot. River Thames 9 to 2. Right now. Sandman is back. 4 to 1. Clever again, 5 to 1. And Oscar is 20 to 1. Who you’re looking at? Tommy. Lorenzo. Well, I thik I’m going to go with the one here. Not think I know I am. I’m going to go with the Baffert horse from the inside. What I like about goal oriented, lightly raised. He’s only raced twice. He’s won both races. First race he ran. He was back sixth came up got the lead came from behind. And then in his next race was right up top held the lead. So he’s very versatile I like seeing that in young horses. River Thames is a horse I’ve always liked too. You know, he lost by a neck to sovereignty a couple a couple races ago. So he’s a tough one too. But in this one I like gold oriented. He had a really good workout May 11th at Churchill Downs. He was on the undercard of the Kentucky Derby. And you know you may get a good a good price on him. Flavien Prat is a good jockey. So a lot of good signals on goal oriented. That’s who I’m going to. You know I’m going to try to be journalism with goal oriented. Obviously I’ll have journalism and trifecta with River Thames journalism goal oriented and River Thames in the exact and trifecta as well. You know, with only nine horses here, my rule of thumb generally is keep the try and the exacta boxes to three horses. You start going 4 or 5 horses, you got half the field. And to me it doesn’t make a lot of sense keying on three horses, maybe a fourth horse, but with a nine horse field you really have to tighten things up a little bit. It’s not like the Derby where you’ve got 20 horses and, you know, 4 or 5, six horse trifecta or exacta box, you know, can can get you a profit here. It’s not going to be that easy. Cam. What’s your pick Gabe I also like Tommy. I would do a three horse exacta box or three horse try with goal oriented. I agree with him. I think he’ll come maybe second or third. I love River Thames. That horse is very, very strong. Almost beat sovereignty and journalism will probably be there. So A136 box for me. By the way Gabe, it’s funny that Tommy mentioned that and a quick story. I worked with a guy and you know, I worked at the bar with the horse track and I ran it. I taught this kid at a bet horses, Tommy, but he didn’t understand pick threes. So he just kept on doing pick threes. And he bought a $600 ticket. He’s like, I won. I won all the races in the row I go. You won with an 8 to 5 at 2 to 1 and a 3 to 1 Gabe he got 118 back. Put 600 in I go. You just lost $480 winning three races in a row. So that’s the thing. When you happen with these small fields, you better. You know what I mean. You don’t take six horses or you going to lose money even if you win. It’s an idiotic move. But sometimes people got to learn, right? That’s that’s the horse racing game. Yeah. Learning the hard way. Learning the hard way. A horse that I like, guys that I think can come in here flying under the radar, arrested horse and anytime as well I’m going to sort of take the jockeys like jockeys opinion on it. Like you read between the lines. So I’m talking about clever again Steve Asmussen’s horse here. Clever again. He’s been off for six weeks. He raced at Oaklawn. Ortiz Sandman in the Derby guys. And he could have again. But he decided to go with clever again here. So I see that I’m like you know what. All right. So you know Ortiz Ortiz sees something here in this horse and would rather ride this horse than the horse that was already in the Derby. And Tommy were getting pretty good numbers with clever again in the five to 6 to 1 range. Yeah. And he’s another speed horse. And Ortiz you know another jockey that if he’s got the right horse under him he can calm him down and get him home. Your horse there that you’re mentioning right now is my main concern since I like goal oriented, which is also I think will go to the lead being on the rail. We’ll see if he’s in the eight hole. So yeah, we’ll see if he can, you know, get out there and get towards Tommy. He’s really good. And Gabe’s right. I remember back in the day these were well rested horses. I had cloud computing at like 14 to 1. And he won this race because he was rested. So it’s a very good angle. Gabe. And to your other point, another excellent angle. You’re a jockey and you got two choices and he picks the horse. That’s the one you want to go with. It’s a no brainer. And I think listen Sandman will hit this on the other side, but Sandman is an interesting horse. Finished 12.5 lengths back in the Kentucky Derby. And you know, there’s no excuses in the world. But we all know in horse races there are excuses. Yes, like the horse was screwed from the beginning of the race, like there was, you know what I mean? And also, it does not like the mud. And it backfired on them and it was just one of those. Listen, it was a disastrous sort of day for us. But I think this is a good horse. Right. And this horse has like a big pedigree and just basically racing against other big time horses which some of these other horses don’t. Right. But like you guys said, and you know, we all know to Baffert’s horse is young guys raced twice which I don’t know if that’s that’s might not be a bad thing. You know what I mean? I saw a good quote today about this, this horse and Baffert and somebody said Baffert’s not here to hang with his friends. He doesn’t you know what I mean. He’s not here for the atmosphere. Like they were like you know he’s there because he thinks this horse has a chance of winning right. Like Baffert. You know what I mean. He’s not gonna he’s not going to waste his time if he doesn’t think the horse has a chance of winning. But I do love the nine horse angle. But what do you think of Sandman this week Tommy. Well, I think they should have waited to the Belmont for Sandman, in my opinion. I think that was a tough Kentucky Derby. You know, he’s going to need speed up top, which he may get in this race. You know, Sandman comes from the clouds. He’s a cool horse. I root for him. But I just think they probably should have waited for the Belmont. I think he’s just a click below this level. Great horse, but I don’t see it in the Belmont. I just think he’s going to. The speed may not line up for him in terms of the pace up front. Just not enough horses, I think, to have speed up front because that’s what he needs. He needs that pace to run at, and I think he should have waited for the Belmont. But that’s just my opinion. We’ll get your thoughts on American Promise on the other side. We’re throwing it down. The Friday night freak show. The Toronto Maple Leafs will be going to a game seven. They did something a lot of people didn’t think they could do tonight. Show up, show some intestinal fortitude and beat the Florida Panthers. Can they do it again. And it’s one of these deals. It’s a big if. But if they can beat the Florida Panthers maybe that’s the turning point. And there’s no turning back after that. Did you know sports books tend to draw a tighter bet lines for events that get even more bettors, like championship games or major matchups? My tip try betting on less popular sports. You might have a better shot at beating those odds. Now go get lucky. See you in Las Vegas. Let’s get lucky. They’ve won seven in a row. They’ve been dominant at Citi Field. Linda’s been insane. Pete Alonso’s been raking. You know Griffin Canning David Peterson. Those guys have pitched really, really well. And when you put it together with that lineup, especially like you said, Linda’s been great. You know they’ve got they’ve got the makings of something very special in Queens Farrell coast to coast only on sports grid. Derek Carr has called it a career after 11 NFL seasons. I think they knew before the draft that they had to make a move at this point. And by the way, Derek Carr did have a pretty good career, made as many Pro Bowls as Eli Manning. So based on that, he should go to the Hall of Fame like Eli Manning. Eli Manning does have a couple rings at that point, but always wanted to take a shot at Manning, who should not actually be in the Hall of Fame, shouldn’t be questioned under 500 quarterback for his career. Stop the madness. The early line only on sports grid. The game is on. The stakes are high, but the action isn’t just on the field. Rearranging that room. Get it inside. Sports grids in game Live. Your ultimate second screen experience. Flier 18.5 point lifeline. Every prop, every play, every day. Anything can happen. It’s complete chaos. Ha ha. It’s smarter to be on sports grid. Sports rage I am McKenzie pips the players, the hustlers and people to bust them. Leaf fans and everybody else in between celebrating. I feel good for the kids in downtown Toronto to show up outside to Maple Leaf Square for every one of these games, especially showing up tonight. A lot of people had given up on them, but me and cam stood our ground. I pulled the trigger bet on him tonight, although I’m a little bit worried. I’m a little bit worried. I’m not a leaf fan. Cam is a leaf fan. I’m not a leaf fan. But as I stated, I could see this coming and I said it last night on the show. I said, you know what? They’re going to win tomorrow. Now it’s like, now we’re right back to like, all right. Like you’re under pressure again. Like, yeah. Now suddenly it’s like, I swear to God, I’m not even kidding. I’d keep these guys in freaking Florida until, like, Sunday morning or something. I’m kind of agreeing with you. Stay out of Toronto. Let’s just roll in, like, early overnight Saturday. Like, you know what I mean? Rolling early Sunday morning. Like, I don’t want to, like, I don’t want these. It’s just it’s just something about the city of Toronto. And the Leafs go home. They start to like, you know what I mean? Their head starts to explode. But wow. Big game on Sunday night. Quick line check. Sunday night, 730 eastern time Florida Panthers -135 road favorites Toronto Maple Leafs plus 115 home dogs total five and a half. All right Tommy Lorenzo with us. Tommy, any opinion on any of these other horses that we didn’t we didn’t bring up. And like I brought up American Promise as an example. We got Pei. Billy, we really haven’t talked about too much. Are they scratch for you? You’re just going to. You can’t bet on every horse, right? But what’s your opinion? Yeah. You know how you mentioned that Bob Baffert shows up and he’s all business. You know he’s won eight Preakness. He’s had eight Preakness wins. You know with American Promise I think D Wayne Lukas is there to just be with buddies. You know he’s been in the game a long time. And you know I think that’s why he’s bringing American Promise here. You know American promise two wins in ten starts. And I’m big on form in 2025. One win. Only one in the money finish in four starts. So you know I’d be very surprised if American Promise does anything in the Preakness myself. All right. So for people joining us right now, Tommy Lorenzo, to recap what you’re doing with the race tomorrow. Yeah, I like goal oriented on the rail again. Bob Baffert, he knows how to win the you know he knows how to win this race. Very versatile horse. So I like goal oriented I like journalism and River Thames in the exat and trifecta boxes. But I’m going to try to be journalism with goal oriented 6 to 1 morning line. I’m hoping he stays right around there. I’ll be very happy with that price. I’m trying to find the set odds right now at bet three, six, five. I gotta poke around here. I’ll find it. What race is it tomorrow at? What race is it? Let me go. Pimlico race. Race 1313. Is it? Is it race 13? Yeah, right. So it is. It’s the last one. All right, let’s see. You know what? No, I don’t have it listed here. I gotta I’ll find it here. I’ll get this up here in a minute. But. All right, Tom, before we get you out of here. Baseball. I know you’re a Dodger fan. The Dodgers were massive favorites tonight. Like they did it. It was -180, minus one and a half. They got one out in the first inning and it went to minus two and a half runs. And then they gave up two runs. So the Dodgers are now losing two nothing. We’re into the top of the third right now. But you know listen if the only thing that worries me and I know you were talking about the same thing earlier, the only thing that concerns me about this is the fact that they scored like 60 runs in the last couple of days, right? So it’s almost like the baseball gods and, you know, it’s just not that easy. So suddenly, you know, even though you’re you’re facing a pitcher, you should hit, you don’t it’s still really early in the game. And you’re getting the Dodgers right now guys. And -125 Tommy that’s pretty low. Yeah well the value is there. Now if you want to jump on the Dodgers you know and you know the angels bullpen is a very scary. So I don’t blame anyone for hopping on it -125. But it is interesting. And I don’t have any official stat on it or anything. But you know when a team goes off and scores, you know, in the teens, 15, 16, 17 runs seems like every time they come back the very next night, they’re a little flat with the bats. But you’d expect the Dodgers to hit here. You know the angels starter is not very good. And again that angels bullpen is pretty bad. But you know we’ll see two nothing angels right now. And we’ll see if Dustin May can can you know settle down a little bit. Looks like he has. But you know that’s the right number. If you want to jump on the Dodgers for sure. It’s like one of the most tested and best like ATS trends in football guys you know better team bet against the college football team that score 55 points or more in a week before type of deal. You know, I mean anytime you’re right like basketball guys. Oh they scored 138 in their last game. They shot you know 52% from three. Next game they score you know 94 right I mean it’s the way the way the way sports goes. Our job is to try to sift our way through it. Tommy. Lorenzo. All right. We’ll get Tommy out of here. Just for the record, Dodgers down two. Nothing. I’m on the Mariners as well. Mariners up three. Nothing on San Diego. Arizona up three. Nothing on Colorado. And the Athletics and Giants renew their rivalry. Not quite the same, but any any baseball for you tonight, Tommy? Well, I just had the Phillies go up by two, so that’s good. I had them on the run line, had the nationals under and that came through. So other than that might jump on the Dodgers here. We’ll see where this number’s at. But you know -130 compared to minus two. Whatever it was is might be the way to go here. But we’ll see. We’ll see if I jump on here. Angels I don’t think the angels are going to do much with the bats, but we’ll see. I don’t know if the Dodgers will hit tonight after that explosion last night, so I’m going to monitor that. But that’s all I got tonight. Where can people find you online, Tommy? Twitter or X sports book. Tom and the cover of the weekend podcast. Just cover the weekend in sports betting. And that’s where you can find me. Awesome stuff. Tommy Lorenzo, thanks for joining us, Tommy. My pleasure, cam and Gabe, thanks for having me. Have a good one. Tommy. Lorenzo with us. Great stuff with Tommy Lorenzo. And he did nail he was on sovereignty in the Kentucky Derby. He likes journalism along with the one horse, the Baffert horse. I’m going to go the goal orientated. I’m going with clever again because I’m clever. So I’m going I’m going clever again and go up to the window. Hopefully it is. Hopefully it is a clever pick. Yeah it’s my sign I’m clever so I’m clever. Let’s go with clever again. Hopefully it’s a clever pick but he’s actually I say, I say clever again. Finishes second or third though like that’s my I think journalism is journalism is going to win. You know if I, if I had to cam right now I would say, you know journalism goal orientated and clever again are the three. That’s my opinion against the hot pick a lot of really good stuff. But still underdogs at home on the road and all of these games. It’s time for people to start understanding they legitimate team that has a chance not only to win the series against Cleveland, but also maybe even go all the way to the NBA finals. I think a lot of the focus has been on why the Cavs have not played particularly well. A lot of that is due to injury, of course, but I think that’s taking too much credit away from what the Pacers have done. Newswire only on sports grid. Malaysia. You guys know I am a huge fan. Has decided to switch allegiances and stay in league. And now she’s going to go play for Kim Mulkey, her Flossy Johnson in the backcourt. It’s going to be interesting to watch. You wonder sometimes why roster construction maybe to much is not too good. Betting above the rim only on sports grid. Jayson Tatum underwent surgery to repair a torn right Achilles tendon that is obviously a season ending injury. And you you know, that’s a long rehab. You’re talking next year. That’s a year I don’t wish that on anybody I don’t I hate that Achilles knees and ankles I don’t like talking about hi. I’ve said it a million times. But screw the Celtics Farrell coast to coast only on sports grid. The two guys that can do it all. Too much electricity this morning. This is a good time. We’re having a lot of fun. I had to do a triple take. Ka ching. Why? Because of parody. I didn’t mean to offend. Yeah, it’s not going to happen. Load management is a dirty word. Let him rip. You know what circumstances provide the results? What? How do you do this one? Oh, Donnie, you got such a good show there. A network that is booming. The early line only on sports grid. Let’s roll. This is sports rage, I am Gabriel suppliers, the hustlers, the people, the bus, everybody else in between. The Toronto Maple Leafs have shocked everybody. It’s like they haven’t won the series, but people are just shocked. Like even coming into this, like every everybody around the Leafs like the broadcast before the game, it was very I tweeted earlier today, I said, it seems like Leafs fans are getting ready for a funeral more than a hockey game tonight. But I give credit. I don’t know if you know, I give credit to Berube, their coach, but I saw him talking and he goes, I told the team and this is where experience matters. And he talked about how when he was, you know, in the playoffs, when he was a player against Mario Lemieux and the fliers and the Penguins and stuff about how he goes, the same thing happened to us. He goes, once we got we got like absolutely like killed. He goes, we got murdered in the game. He goes, we played terrible. And we felt like, you know what I mean? We’re we’re done. We? And then he goes and then Ron Hextall got hurt. Our goalie got hurt. And he goes, we have to start Ken Wregget and he basically said, you know, we won and we beat them and stuff. And he talked about, you know, he shared that with the team about how it doesn’t matter if you get your handed to you, even if you get embarrassed. And it is true. You know, Ken Daneyko told me that he goes, there’s no momentum in the playoffs. He goes from one game to another like it’s irrelevant and people don’t want to believe it. But it’s true. And a classic example is tonight, you know, from where the Leafs were 4 to 8 hours ago to what they just did tonight. All right. I want to get to this best of X right now. Let’s start off actually with the this one. So with the NFL schedule release and stuff, all these NFL teams they already have like their their little cute videos that they do and stuff like that. Some of them are funny. It’s kind of jumped the shark a little bit. It was funnier a couple of years ago. I don’t know what the hell this is from the Seattle Seahawks. Like, this is the strangest thing ever. I think the dude that does their social media account did a bunch of mushrooms or something and said, you know what? This would be pretty cool and pretty funny. It is Bizarro World, but here we go. Roll it. Remember the bathrooms at the King Dome? Now you can relive all those memories with the King Dome Men’s Restroom playset, including an overflowing trash can, powdered soap, and a double wide urinal trough to really pack them in. Includes three 90s dads. Imagine them complaining about getting flagged for being too loud while washing their hands at the signature circular scene. King Dome’s restroom playset. The bathrooms weren’t nice, but they were memorable. Urinal cakes and powdered soap sold separately, batteries not included. What the hell’s going on here? Now, you said it was from an NFL team. Accounts like it’s like the Pee-Wee Herman Show. Like that’s like some acid, and you’re like, oh, what the hell is this? Like, like Lego on acid? I’m like, there’s no reference to the Seahawks even. They’re just talking about the Kingdome. It’s like, I don’t like I like it had potential at the start. I’m like, I enjoyed like the pace but oh, I like it. I think it’s all great. I love the little the little plastic man and everything. I thought it was great, but if I’m the president of the Seahawks or whatever, whoever’s boss this is, I’m like, what the hell is wrong with you? Like what? What is this? Yeah. Like, what does this have to do with anything? Like what? Like, you know what I mean? I tell him, listen, this isn’t the Pee-Wee Herman show here. You want to work for Nickelodeon? Go. Go ahead, kid, but like, what are you doing? What NFL team post our schedule. That’s what I would tell him. Call him and say, hey, just post the damn schedule on our account. With a link to tickets. It just didn’t go anywhere other than urinal troughs. I’m with you, man. I kind of like this. I thought it was funny. Bizarro was strange for an NFL team, but keep it up, Seattle, I liked it. Yeah, we’re do another weird one and I’ll play it again. All right. Now, this is from Mexico, where we know how popular wrestling is in Mexico and the fans like to get involved there. I think this fan regrets getting involved, though. Now he hits the he dropped even a security guy, he’s like, whoa, whoa, hey. He just knocked him out. Look at the other wrestlers. Like, all right, all right, get back in here, bro. You did enough. That’s. Hey, man, you said it. You got involved before, and you thought Tommy Gun was going to kill you. The best is he doesn’t even hit him that hard. It was like a little jab. And that kid folded like a tent. They don’t. He goes, the guy hits him with the chair. After. We’re not done yet, roll it one more time. Roll it one more time. Here. It’s too good. I love this guy. The wrestler slaps you on a wrestler and then he asked to slap him. He goes, hit me, hit me! Okay, bam! Oh, no! Mommy! Oh, that is awesome. God. That’s fantastic. Don’t get involved, people. You think it’s some kind of joke? You want to be part of the show? Pop, pop. He goes home, puts a chair, right, to knock him out. And he didn’t see that coming. It was just pop. Oh, man. I was like the other wrestler tapping him. He go, he’s kind of taps him on the shoulder. Hey. All right, let’s go. He pulls him back in. That was awesome. Yeah. Lucha libre wrestling in Mexico rocks. It does. The still underdogs at home on the road. And all of these games. It’s time for people to start understanding they legitimate team that has a chance not only to win the series against Cleveland, but also maybe to even go all the way to the NBA finals. I think a lot of the focus has been on why the Cavs have not played particularly well. A lot oft is due to injury, of course, but I think that’s taking too much credit away from what the Pacers have done. Newswire only on sports grid. Malaysia. You guys know I am a huge fan. Has decided to switch allegiances and stay in league. And now she’s going to go play for Kim Mulkey. Her flaws Johnson in the backcourt. It’s going to be interesting to watch. You wonder sometimes when roster construction, maybe too much is not too good. Betting above the rim only on sports grid. Jayson Tatum underwent surgery to repair a torn right Achilles tendon that is obviously a season ending injury. And you you know, that’s long rehab. You’re talking next year. That’s a year I don’t wish that on anybody. I don’t I hate that Achilles knees and ankles. I don’t like talking about him. I’ve said it a million times, but screw the Celtics. Farrell coast to coast only on sports grid. The two guys that can do it all. Too much electricity this morning. This is a good time. We’re having a lot of fun. I had to do a triple take. Ka ching. Why? Because of parody. I didn’t mean to offend. Yeah, it’s not going to happen. Load management is a dirty word. Let him rip. You know what circumstances provide the results? What? How do you do this one? Oh, Donny, you got such a good show there. A network that is booming. The early line only on sports grid. This is sports rights. I am Gabriel Moretti. Level two has begun the quickest hundred and 20 minutes in sports, talk and television continues. I am Gabriel Moretti. So we got a 2020 football game right now. Well, everybody’s worried about these stupid playoff games. It’s the real big game of the night tonight. Football development. It’s what it’s all about, people. The UFL. All kidding aside, I spoke with Rob vino earlier in the day. We exchanged messages about the UFL like we often will. And I said to him, I said, this is a train wreck of an effing football game tonight. I didn’t even want to bet it. Like, I didn’t even like, you know what I mean? I was like, I don’t know what to do with this game. I was like, they they’re both terrible. Like they’re both one win teams. They’re both like really bad. The total was 37.5. And I was like, I don’t know how the hell they’re going to get there, but they somehow they will because just they will. It doesn’t make any sense. It was the most logical thing ever. And here we are right now, 2020. Like it’s a hard game to pick, but the game goes over the number. And that means that I hear a cash register ringing in Philadelphia. Rob vino and overs there. I don’t know if Rob Vino’s wife knows, but Rob’s got a mistress over. What’s up Rob? I’m actually got a I’ve actually got a new religion and it’s called anti under is what it is. That’s what it is. You know it’s a new religion. It’s a religion under I go to that church every day. Awesome. That was so you know. But seriously Rob, this game had no reason like you know what I mean? Like for us to go to the window and bet it to the over. And I was like, you know what? I’m going to bet it. I know you did as well and started off pretty well slowed down. And here we go. Right now I’d like to get Memphis home though. I got Memphis plus two and we’re going overtime tied at 20 right now and sort of like an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting where everybody has to admit everything. I’m also an anti anti underwrite amongst would rob you know and. Hi I’m Gabriel Morency and I bet an in game over 50.5 in this earlier. So I want more points in overtime. Rob hit the over like 3130 early. I was like it’s going to be a track meet. They’re going to get into the 60s. You know I mean slow down. But we got a shot. Now we’re going overtime. It’s you guys though I gotta ask you and I like to do this and you know me, Gabe. I play in the dumpster a lot, you know, and on the beach, my metal detector looking for gold. But I find when two crappy teams get together, a lot of the time, sometimes we hit those the low totals over, like, it’s just one of those things. It’s like, yeah, oh, well, we’re not going anywhere anyway type of thing. But you guys got there, so good pick on the over. Doesn’t matter who’s playing crap teams good teams. But this that’s a bet this this league though. Say what you will about the UFL. And you know some people don’t. Oh this and that about it. But the fact is guys Rob and for bettors out there it’s kind of been spelled out for us. Rob right? I mean it was super unders for the first month and over the last four weeks of this season. What what what what are the overs is what is it like 14 and two, 13 and three with a push or something. You know what I mean? 12, three and one. Would a push like it doesn’t make any sense. Cam. These teams suck, but the games are going over the numbers somehow every week now. Rob yeah, and this one I mean at face value look like it had no chance, right? But they’re both 1 in 6 teams that have been eliminated from the playoffs. Of course, we know that these guys are going to keep playing their hearts out because they’re looking for NFL invites to a camp. That is a good point. It’s not the same quit factor on a season. Very good point. Yeah. And the Memphis case, it was kind of contradictory. Gabe, I sent you when we were talking back and forth earlier, I had said to you that the Memphis head coach said, our number one focus this week is to score points. We had nine and 12 play drives last week and they didn’t amount to anything, and we got to learn how to score points. And so they did. They got us to 20. I kind of took that to heart. But he also says I’m going to experiment a little bit now and I’m going to pull Troy Troy Williams out of the scrap heap and start him at quarterback. And he’s been god awful for Memphis. And like I said to you earlier, I played Memphis. Despite Troy Williams this two point for two point for two point for two point. That overtime is in the UFL may wind up. I just realized that one and a half. Yeah, we don’t get six overtime, but it’s kind of like soccer kicks. I gotta get the 50.5 cab and here they go. They’re going this is the this is the weird converts. Good luck. They do. They give you the ball at the five yard line in this league. You get the ball at the five. You get two points. If you get it and it’s a best two of three shootout. It’s the best two of three. I got to be honest with you I like it’s this rule sounds stupid, I like it. I think you can get the ball at the five yard line. One shot out. Yeah. There you go. I don’t like it. Well, think about you’re watching a college overtime back and forth. That’s the worst. That college stuff. That’s the stupidest. I remember I watched an Illinois. It was in Illinois and Penn State. Do you remember that game? I was like, oh, it was like literally like 20 plays in a row. Like going for two over and over, and they couldn’t get it. It was like the stupidest thing ever. Yeah. There was a Kentucky game early 2000 when Hal Mumy was coach, and they had the Pillsbury throw boy, Jared Lorenzen at quarterback. And I think like seven overtimes. Hefty lefty. I love that guy. My friend played for Hal Mumy. He really? Yeah. He was on the team with Tim Couch and yeah, he played for he played for Kentucky. Dave Dave. My boy Dave, he played for the Ottawa Renegades after for they were the Redblacks and he played around the CFL. He was he was really big. He was a big dude. He’s like six foot six foot, six foot seven like three. He was a big, big, big dude. And he could have played at Michigan, actually. And he told me the story about how he went to Michigan. And Lloyd Carr was really nice to him and stuff. And there was like a football camp. And he was like, you know, Dave, I want you to I know your father, like Earl was the president of the Football League, because I know your father, and I want you to be a Michigan Wolverine, Dave. And they basically like, you know, you know, I you know how it works in college. So they hooked them up. Basically, you’re going to go out and hang out with these pretty girls tonight. They’re going to show you around Ann Arbor. Like, you know what I mean? And it was basically like a like a prison break. Rob, that like other players came up to him and told him, listen, Lloyd Carr is not a nice guy like this. He’s just he’s fooling you. Like, once you once you agree to play here, he’s going to turn on you. And it’s like really hard here. And my buddy was kind of a partier and stuff. And he said he went to Kentucky and he met Hal Mumy and stuff, and they went to like a keg party, and he got drunk with Tim Couch and he goes, yeah, I’m going to stay here. He said he was like that in Kentucky. He’s drinking beer and he’s like, I hope you guys are having a good time tonight, right? They’re all drinking as opposed to Lloyd Carr. All right. I’ll see you guys at 6:30 a.m. Lights out at ten. Lights out at ten. You’re like, I like the wildcat style where I go. He told me the story because I went to Kentucky game and I just, you know, there’s no turning back. You know, he goes, it was just too good of a party there. Yeah. He was on the same team with with Tim Couch. All right. So still 2220 in this game. Me and Robert trying to pull this out and cry this one home and get the Memphis Showboats home. Dodgers are still losing two nothing. All right. We got a break coming up on the other side. We’ll hit some other stuff besides the UFL. But as far as tomorrow’s games are concerned. Rob UFL football Birmingham Stallions getting one and a half on the road in Saint Louis at 1:00. Eastern total 39.5 and a Michigan Panthers lay six and a half in Houston. 43.5. What are your thoughts? Yeah. For Birmingham it’s the fifth quarterback of the season right. Gave a Ja’Marr Smith comes in last week. Does the job in the end. We’ll see how that goes I’ll go quick here. We can hit it on the other side but on the other side. And they covered last week somehow that was winning by eight. It looked like Houston had their number early. It just didn’t work out in the end. Yeah. Which I wasn’t happy about because I had Houston. All right. Memphis Memphis just stopped them. I think that was their first attempt. So Kevin Hogan in the Brahmas just got stopped. Memphis can basically win if they convert this here right now. Kevin Hogan.

You know what circumstances provide the results? What? How do you do this one? Oh, Donny, you got such a good show there. A network that is booming. The early line only on sports grid. Anyone that’s been to a sporting event, the atmosphere before a game. I think game time decisions has that same exact atmosphere. This is our arena. This is what we do. There is going to be an energy to game time decisions that you will feel night in and night out, the excitement you get when you when you lock your bets in, when you’re figuring out what you want to do. We can zone in on the biggest games each night. I want this to be the place that people come to before the game start, so they feel as ready as possible to lock in their cards. We are going to hit every single one of those markets that you need to know about. We’re going to go through every single thing, and I’ve got a great team behind me that’s going to help me get the job done. There is not going to be a better place, I promise you, than game time decisions to get that new information, react to it and be able to then bet accordingly. We will have everything at our disposal and we will use that to our advantage. I’m Kevin Walsh. Tune in to game time decisions from 6 to 8 p.m. Eastern on Sports Grid. Sportsbooks tend to draw up tighter bet lines for events that get even more bettors, like championship games or major matchups. My tip? Try betting on less popular sports. You might have a better shot at beating those odds. Now go get lucky. See you in Las Vegas. Let’s get lucky. All right, say what you will about the UFL. But the endings of these games have been insanely wild over the last couple of weeks. And here we go again. So it comes down to one play right now. Guys, this is it. San Antonio are losing 2422. They need to convert here from the five yard line. And they get the two. And then suddenly it’ll be 2424 and it continues. So and suddenly the 50.5 could potentially come into play. Let’s see what they do. Oh Hogan scrambling running for his life. There’s going to be a holding penalty coming up. It’s going to be a holding. So I guess they can just decline the penalty. Or is it going to be pushed back. Imagine this is it. But it appears like this game should be over. Penalty is declined and the game is officially over now. All right. Now now it’s over. 24, 22, 24, 22. We’ll take final score. The coach of the party’s grandkid looks like like a like Sean McVay. He’s like a poor man’s Sean McVay. In the UFL. He’s got the same voice too. It cracks me up all the time. All right so Birmingham and Saint Louis tomorrow it’s 39.5 Birmingham are plus 100. They might have a little bit of their swagger back. You know they they’re finding ways to win with different quarterbacks. And you got Michigan laying six and a half against Houston Arlington plus two and a half against yours. And my nemesis Rob the DC Defenders on Sunday. God I hate that . Why do you hate the DC defenders. They’re like my Sydney Swans man. Like they’re just like they’re you’re bet on them. They don’t never come through there. That’s they’re just the most frustrating team ever. This team like they are. They’re just not likable cam. They’re not likable to. You know how Rob feels about their quarterback Jordan Ta’amu. Yeah you remember Rob bring it up. Remember the tweet I almost fell off my chair. They’re like who’s the MVP of the UFL Jordan I’m like what. I’m like MVP. The guy can’t score from the two yard line. You if Bryce Perkins doesn’t win that I’ll be upset. Well let’s start here Birmingham last week Gabe and you saw it I mean Houston got out to a fast start. And it looked like Birmingham’s defense had never played the game before. They’re running for 50 yard touchdowns and throwing for touchdowns. And since McLendon took over at quarterback they’ve been good offensively. They can’t run it as well as they should be able to run it. But they certainly have receivers and they’ve got a bit of a passing game. I know that Michigan Houston total is at 43.5, but I’d still give it a look because every time Michigan gets a possession, I just feel like they’re going to score. That offense has been in such rhythm for the last five weeks, and they’ve been bringing home overs. Last week’s was a little bit miraculous. The 2524 win on the last play of the game, where they got granted an extra second at the end of the game to go ahead and win it. So I would look over there, I would probably say, look, Michigan, but I’m a little leery of Houston at home just the way they’ve been playing lately. And then that other game, Saint Louis, is becoming unlikable to Gabe. I don’t know how you feel about them, but they’re kind of a weird team. Max Duggan last week, I think they had 16 points t halftime, only kick a field goal the rest of the game. They blow a first and goal from like the three. They turned it over. ET cetera. ET cetera. But Hakeem nicks a couple of things I read they want to get him back into the game plan this week. I don’t know why they wouldn’t. He had three touchdowns in his first three catches when he came back. They can move it. You know I think that that game has the possibility of getting over for the simple reason that. And you heard the commentators talk about it a lot last week and then you saw it in action. Birmingham can’t stop the deep ball. Max Duggan doesn’t have that great of an arm, but he can push it a little bit and Birmingham just doesn’t defend it when you throw down fields. So maybe over 39.5 there as well. I couldn’t pick a side in that game for I really can’t. Rob vino sports kicking it with us. Wager talk.com Rob bets on everything LA sparks are leading 5546 right now midway through the third quarter of play. They’re currently laying 11.5 and the total closed at 100 and 63.5. It is currently 100 and 63.5 right now. Rob, I missed out on the early action tonight in the WNBA. But the games went over the number. And I know you pulled the trigger on the over of this one as well. Yeah, the biggest one of the night game was the Dallas Minnesota game over a couple of things here for me. And this started last year. It’s a one way ticket with the Dallas wings. You better believe it or you don’t play at all. And this year they’ve got even more firepower. Paige Bueckers comes in. The two players from the Connecticut Sun come in. Ty Harris and Carrington, both guards. Both scorers just loaded offensively are the Dallas Wings. And they don’t play defense. It was the worst defensive team in the league last year. They claim they want to play defense this year under their first year head coach. But it’s pace, pace and scoring with that team. Minnesota scored what they did tonight without two of their best players on the floor. Kayla McBride. Personal reasons out Alana Smith their top center out. Didn’t really matter. Got over pretty easy. And the other game you know what I should have been there. Gabe talked about it on the show today. That game over Washington is so small. Six one and under for their starters just got destroyed. But they scored against the other side Atlanta. So could hopefully we’re looking at three overs is what we’re hoping for tonight because I’d like to get this third one home, but it’s been right on the number from the outset. So the fact that you said the end game is right where the full game started is really no surprise at this point. We need some points from the Valkyries tomorrow. You got the aces and the Liberty. The Liberty are four point favorites over the aces total 168. The aces are kind of retooling their roster a little bit. A lot of hype about the Indiana Fever this year. They play the Chicago Sky tomorrow. The fever lay eight total one 68.5. We got a lower number here Rob at one 57.5 with the storm and the Mercury. Mercury are loaded with injuries. Gabe starts with their top player Kahleah copper. She’s going to be out for this one. And Seattle, they’ve been quoted as saying that they feel like this is the most talented roster they’ve ever had. So an injury based opponent, Seattle, is really not affected by venue. If you go through their past results, they’re obviously a pretty good team. Skylar Diggins at that point really doesn’t care where she plays. She’s going to lead the team. So I like Seattle and I think that that I bet Indiana to win the whole thing. Plus 550 long ago. That game probably gets over. Indiana is just waiting to happen every night right now. Rob Vino is ready to go for the WNBA season. As you can tell, great to have another sport in the rotation. On the other side, let’s talk about the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers. And game seven between the Thunder and the nuggets. The Knicks open up as -150 series favorites over the Pacers. The still underdogs at home on the road and all of these games, it’s time for people to start understanding they legitimate team that has a chance not only to win the series against Cleveland, but also maybe to even go all the way to the NBA finals. I think a lot of the focus has been on why the Cs have not played particularly well. A lot of that is due to injury, of course, but I think that’s taking too much credit away from what the Pacers have done. Newswire only on sports grid. Malaysia. You guys know I am a huge fan. Has decided to switch allegiances and stay in league. And now she’s going to go play for Kim Mulkey. Her flaws Johnsn the back court. It’s going to be interesting to watch. You wonder sometimes what roster construction maybe too much is not too good. Betting above the rim only on sports grid. Jayson Tatum underwent surgery to repair a torn right Achilles tendon that is obviously a season ending injury. And you you know, that’s long rehab. You’re talking next year. That’s a year I don’t wish that on anybody I don’t I hate that Achilles knees d ankles. I don’t like talking about him. I’ve said it a million times, but screw the Celtics Farrell coast to coast only on sports grid. The two guys that can do it all. Too much electricity this morning. This is a good time. We’re having a lot of fun. I had to do a triple take. Catching. Why? Because of parody. I didn’t mean to offend. Yeah, it’s not going to happen. Load management is a dirty word. Let him rip. You know what circumstances provide the results? What? How do you do this one? Oh, Donnie, you got such a good show there. A network that is booming. The early line only on sports grid. Man, I don’t know who this this girl is. What’s her name? Van Lowe on San Francisco or Golden State. I wouldn’t mess with her. She looks like she’s ready to knock someone out. She’s fired up. Just hit a big three. The Valkyrie starting to get back into this right now. Maybe this has got to become our team cam on the show. They play the West Coast. I’m actually the LA sparks. I’m actually the. I lean towards the LA sparks actually. But withholding my fandom for the Toronto tempo next year. Rob yeah that’s right. Toronto Temple yeah, because now I’m just a better I like the WNBA, I follow it, I watch it and stuff like that. I didn’t jump oh, I’m a fever fan now or anything like that. Like no. Right. You know, I mean I said I kind of like the LA sparks, you know, I mean even though they suck, but I’m a liar. I was a I was a Chicago sky. And I’m willing to just sell them out. And whatever team makes this money, let’s let’s become. Well, no. Now now the Toronto is coming in. The thing is to Toronto are smart. They’re going to play like a couple of regular season games in Vancouver and in Montreal as well. So they’re they’re going to spread it around so I can go see I’m going to go see a couple of games and stuff. So that’ll be my new team the Toronto Tempo. You know we’ll get used to the name. It’s like the Miami Heat or something like that. Yeah. Put it this way. If they win and cover point spreads for us, we won’t care about the name. I just it’s just bad vibes for me because I owned a tempo and it was the crappiest car ever. Like, it just gave me nothing but heartache. So Ford Tempo sucks. Let’s put it that way. Okay. Julie, Julie Vanloo, the girl you were talking about just a minute ago was actually the starting point guard or shooting guard on Belgium’s Olympic team, so she knows her way around. I don’t know her. Belgium’s getting good at everything like this, this country. Like I’m looking at some of their new young tennis stars and golf and everything. What’s going on in Belgium, Gabe? Like they’re really. They’re feeling it. Kelsey Plum is on the LA sparks now too. We should know Cameron Brink is still injured. They got a new coach. They got a they got a new coach there. And Belgium. Belgium has money but their soccer team, they’re underachievers all the time. There she is for three again and she hits it. Yeah. Oh yeah. She’s starting to become a fan of this. Hey! Let’s go. Van fired up. There you go. There you go. Hey. It’s fitting. Hey, van loo for the Valkyries. They signed Van Valkyrie. He’s like, yeah, you got to like this. Yeah. Fired. All right, so we got a 6256 game right now with a buck 55 left in the third. What’s the new total right now? One 66.5. All right talk to me. Let’s go. Let’s get let’s keep these points coming. All right Rob Knicks Knicks Pacers. Who do you like in the series. Who do you think wins the series I like the Pacers I have to say I’m you know the Knicks are so gritty and they’re generally not fazed by anything. We’ve seen that. But I just don’t know how long you can last with the Tom Thibodeau style of grinding down these five guys. 40 minutes 40 minutes, 40 minutes, 40 minutes. These playoffs where these guys actually play and actually are physical three rounds in, it becomes a lot. And Indiana is just going to push pace, push pace, push pace. Cleveland even admitted it. Cleveland admitted their head coach actually said you know what? In the end their pace and physicality got to us. So I think it might wear the Knicks down in the end, I would I would definitely take them as a series underdog and then the game by game stuff, we’ll have to see where they do. You have an opening total in that game, Gabe? Game one. Yeah, yeah I do two two. I see a two 20.5 right now actually two 20.5 seems lighter than I thought actually. Yeah, yeah, it’s lighter than I thought because I swear I thought I saw off the top of my head I was going to say yeah, yeah, it’s 229. But I was like, no, no, it’s not 229 but it’s I’m seeing two 20.5 right now guys. Knicks minus four and a half. I got on my on all minor 220. But on my FanDuel it’s Knicks for flat instead of four and a half. And it’s two 21.5 an extra point. But yeah hovering around it Gabe I kind of agree with I like this Nick team. I don’t want to be anti Nick team. But as Paul stated, they they play the same guys. They run them into the ground all the time. The Pacers are actually kind of deep and they’re going to push the pace right. They’ve got a great coach. You got young. This is a really fun matchup. But the thing is too the Pacers aren’t as one dimensional as the Boston Celtics are either. They will take it to the rack right. They will get it to the free throw line right. They you know what I mean. They’re they’re a different animal. They’re a complete team. You know they lack on defense a little bit. But let’s see if the Knicks can keep up and score 118. Right. I’m looking forward to see how this will wrap up. We’ll wrap up with Rob on the other side. But it’s going to be a really, really fun series between the Knicks. We’ll get Rob’s thoughts on Denver and Oklahoma City. And it looks like Aaron Gordon’s going to be out for the Denver Nuggets in this game. So good money line parlay material. You know for Oklahoma City they’re -360 or they probably just light them up. But it’s eight and a half right now. We’ll wrap up with Rob on the other side. Still underdogs at home on the road. And all of these games. It’s time for people to start understanding a legitimate team that has a chance not only to win the series against Cleveland, but also maybe even go all the way to the NBA finals. I think a lot of the focus has been on why the Cavs have not played particularly well. A lot of that is due to injury, of course, but I think that’s taking too much credit away from what the Pacers have done. Newswire only on sports grid. Malaysia. You guys know I am a huge fan. Has decided to switch allegiances and stay in league. Now she’s going to go play for Kim Mulkey, her Flossy Johnson in the backcourt. It’s going to be interesting to watch. You wonder sometimes when roster construction, maybe too much is not too good. Betting above the rim only on sports grid. Jayson Tatum underwent surgery to repair a torn right Achilles tendon that is obviously a season ending injury. And you you know that’s long rehab. You’re talking next year. That’s a year I don’t wish that on anybody I don’I hate that Achilles knees and ankles. I don’t like talking about him. I’ve said it a million times, but screw the Celtics Farrell coast to coast only on sports grid. The two guys that can do it all. It’s too much electricity this morning. This is a good time. We’re having a lot of fun. I had to do a triple take. Catching. Why? Because of parody? I didn’t mean to offend. Yeah, it’s not going to happen. Load management is a dirty word. Let him rip. You know what circumstances provide the results? What? How do you do this one? Oh, Donny, you got such a good show there. A network that is booming. The early line only on sports grid. All right. The Abbotsford Canucks and Colorado Eagles still scoreless right now. Four minutes left in the second period. The total was five and a half. In this game I didn’t play the under. I just took the Canucks. So we’ll keep our eye on this. The Rochester Americans beat Laval earlier tonight. That’s that’s Buffalo versus Montreal. And right on cue the Abbotsford Canucks just scored as I just tuned in to the game. I wasn’t watching it. I didn’t even know it was on the sports book. Has it? So I’m like, oh, there it is. And boom one nothing. Abbotsford. My Canuck fans Cheering right now in the building. Let’s roll. My cousin married a lady this summer. And yeah her brother’s a defenseman for the Colorado Eagles. He got a sniff with the Red wings. But for Grand Rapids and Colorado they’re amazing game. They’re they’re there every year. So good on Abbotsford. Yeah one nothing right now. They just scored. All right. So we’ll bring Tony Finn in in a minute here. Rob vino with us. Says he likes the Pacers to beat the New York Knicks and run them. You know the tempo and the pace of the Pacers. Hey listen we were just talking about not liking the tempo name. What’s the Pacers name. Pacers. Pacer Pacers Pacers a car that’s a pacer. Cooler. Yeah it’s a pacer car in the Indy 500. Yeah like yeah it’s the pace car. And you know in the pacer car guys are smoking doobs and stuff. The tempo just sucks. Like at least the pacer had some quality characteristics and pizzazz. It’s not going to say it’s a Rolls Royce but it has character. What’s up. What’s a flier Philadelphia flier. What’s a flier? What’s a flier? Could be many things. It could be a plane. It could be. Yeah. But they don’t spell it like you’re flying. So you’re flying around the ice. Yeah. Like let’s do this. Rob I don’t I don’t put you on the Philadelphia. I’m saying all these names are dumb. It’s a flier. No, but the Dayton fliers you think is a flier. But it’s actually like like North Carolina. It’s one of the birthplaces of aviation because there’s, like, guys who are like, that’s the thing. Yeah, but they got nothing to do with aviation. There’s nothing to do with it. It just sounded good, you know what I mean? But Philadelphia fliers, I gotta be honest with you. Like any name. Now, if, like, past teams, people would be like, that’s the stupidest name. Imagine now only because you know it. Think of like I using Phil as an example. Rob, imagine the Philadelphia Phillies be like, you’re just like shortening the city name. Like, you know what I mean? Like, people love that name. Be like, no, no, like what? Like the Boston Bostonians and be like, no, no, we’re not. It’s not the Philadelphia Phillies sucks. People would criticize it like crazy. Now, cam, if people wanted that. Now Phillies is different. It rolls off the tongue. You got the cheesesteak? It’s the Philadelphia Phillies. Boston Bostonians. That’s just not acceptable in any world. I’ll put you in the hot seat cam, one last time. I’ll put you in the hot seat thing. Yeah. Dodgers, LA Dodgers. What? What are the Dodgers? Yeah, that one kind of symbolizes what I think of the draft dodger. I don’t know, Rob. Rob’s a Dodger fan. So what’s a Dodger? Yeah, I do know the draft dodger. People are like what draft? Not a draft dodger. I’m just saying what I hear. Dogs. Draft dodger. Because I’m watching Vietnam a lot. You’re right about the Dodgers part, but it goes back to the days when people used to have to dodge trolley cars. Correct? Okay, okay. In Brooklyn, the streetcar would come along and dodge out of the way. So that’s fine. That’s fine. Has a story behind people said that. Now people be like, that’s stupid. What’s the worst name then? Like, what’s the worst name in baseball? Yeah, I’m trying to think the Mariners, the school, the Browns is pretty well, the Browns is lame. Just what the what they name it after. The owner named it after himself. Yeah. My name is Paul Brown. My team’s name Brown. Brown, Brown. It’s like an NFL team the Cavs yeah yeah that’s the name of the team. The Cavs yeah exactly Calgary. Cavs Calgary Cavs steamed hams. Now some of the names are good though like Matt’s Metropolitan City. Matt’s right. It’s good right I the Memphis Showboats is a good name because Memphis Showboats go on. That’s a great name. Yeah. See those are like the name should mean something to the Dallas Saints is good too. Like the Saints just works with the Fleur de lis. New Orleans like it’s good. Buffalo bills very good, very Buffalo Bills. What’s the worst name in the NFL? Who? Washington Football club. Commanders. Well, wasn’t great or there’s a lot of lame ones. That’s that’s a that’s a that’s that’s a that’s a debatable topic. That’s whoever cost me money that day. That’s the way the stupidest name. All right. So Rob, before we before we get you out of here, as I mentioned, Aaron Gordon looks like he’s going to be out for this game Oklahoma City and Denver totals 213 eight and a half is the point spread. Any thoughts. Yeah I think they’re kind of holding those numbers there because the last report was what we’re going to list Aaron Gordon. This question about I’m pretty sure even if he plays he’s not effective. And it just affects so many parts of their game. Game. Right I mean he’s been scoring some points for them but he’s their best defender. You even see him chasing SGA around the perimeter a little bit. And he just kills their rebounding because Michael Porter Jr’s shoulder is you know he’s got to separate his shoulder. He’s out there with. So I don’t know that they I think it’s going to kind of be like what the New York Boston game was tonight. Denver played their desperation game at home last game. They won they scored. They shot. Well I think it all comes to a crashing halt here against OKC. I wouldn’t be surprised if OKC exceeds their team total to it’s 110 and a half. They haven’t shot well in this particular series. And one thing you find out about the Thunder at this point in time is that they don’t have a consistent number two offensive option behind SGA. I mean, these guys are all good one through ten, but none of them are a steady number two. They’re going to have to find something. They may get away with it this year, but I don’t know if they get away with it in the future. Rob vino wager talk.com. Just for the record, looking at the Major League Baseball names here, just to refresh myself, I I’ll, I’ll go on record and say the lamest name in baseball is the Cleveland Guardians. So let’s just call it for what it is the Browns and Guardians. Cleveland has some of the worst names in sports. They’re terrible. Yeah. That’s good. Better Cleveland. The Cavaliers is a good name Cleveland Cavaliers. No I’m just saying the Kansas City Royals good name Minnesota Twins. Twin Cities good Texas Rangers sure. Chuck Norris Texas Rangers Houston Astros Astrodome. That’s a weird name. Pelicans is terrible. Like that’s that’s just there you go. I think Dean just sent that one degenerate. Dean I gotta be honest to you, another one that kind of sucks is like the Hornets. Hornets sounds like a little like peewee baseball team name. I play for the Hornets. Yeah, you’re right. It’s not a pro like the Hornets. No no no like Yellow Jackets at least with Georgia Tech is like a swarm of like dangerous bees. Like the hornets are like yeah, just get get out the water and hit the hit the net. Yeah I’m with you man. The Hornets sucks. Rob vino with us. The Pelicans is terrible. That was funny I awful. All right guys take care. Thanks for having me I love Rob. Let’s bring in let’s bring in Tony Finn right now. Tony. What’s the worst name in baseball? I’m almost scared to ask you what the answer is going to be here. But the worst. Worst name in baseball? Yeah, I say the Guardians. I know they got the bridge there, guarding the city, guarding the city or whatever, but, you know. Yeah. Still lame. It is lame. I don’t there’s a bunch of them I don’t like, but, you know, I probably name one. How about the Mud Hens? I like the Mud Hens. Really? How about the Mets? Metropolitans? Who cares about is an amazing name. We’re not talking about one of the biggest names in sports. The Toledo Mud Hens. What are you doing? What are you talking? Did you know cam? Did you know? Gullible is not a word? Dude, I don’t know what the hell you’re saying. Half the time. You gullible is not a word, okay? I love you, Tony. But I gave you said I don’t know what Tony’s doing tonight or what he’s been into, but he’s a wild man. How many? How many told me I sarcasm. Gullible. Tony Finn in the house with us. All right, Tony, next Knicks are pacers. Who do you like to win the series? Well, I like the Pacers. In fact, what te Pacers have done since what, January. Whatever it is, 46 13, 43. They’re crazy good. They’re fourth best record in the NBA since January 1st. Fourth best record in the NBA. Yeah yeah good stuff right. Mainly what I like about the Pacers is the is I think they’re just I mean the coach doesn’t get enough credit. The team doesn’t get enough credit. Halliburton’s a little bit off you know center much more off center than myself which is really hard to do. And the truth is this and that is I don’t think the Knicks can play at the pace the Pacers want to play at. They didn’t play the pace this year. They played last year, but they shot a lot more threes. They don’t shoot the three. They don’t shoot the three very well. They’re going to again here’s a series. Where did you just sort of drop that. Halliburton is weirder than you are. The still underdogs at home on the road. And all of these games is time for people to start understanding they legitimate team that has a chance not only to win the series against Cleveland, but also maybe to even go all the way to the NBA finals. I think a lot of the focus has been on why the Cavs have not played particularly well. A lot oft is due to injury, of course, but I think that’s taking too much credit away from what the Pacers have done. Newswire only on sports grid. Malaysia. You guys know I am a huge fan. Has decided to switch allegiances and stay in league. And now she’s going to go play for Kim Mulkey, her Flossy Johnson in the backcourt. It’s going to be interesting to watch.

Name the Montgomery biscuits because they got good biscuits down there with their fried chicken. Call Gabe Montgomery. Montgomery biscuits. Oh, yeah. Delicious. They should just be called the grits. I should just screw it for free. This is the Montgomery grits. Oh, yeah. You got biscuits? Just raise it up. I’d be like, yeah, great. What about who you’re playing? The grits. The grits are minus one and a half runs. It’s a great name. The grits. I love it, man. If there was a state team in a minor league, the Georgia Grits. I’m all over it.

A lot of nuts. 70 to 70 to 62 right now for LA over over Golden State in the WNBA. I don’t know if this game is going to get over the number actually. Hopefully we can cover the six. All right so we got Tony Finn in the house. Let’s get a baseball update and we’ll get we’ll we’ll go over our Preakness picks again PGA Championship. But Tony I swear if you bring up any Russian golfer jokes I’m cutting myself. How about how about a scratched horse? I’ll bring up a scratched horse. Let me look that up first, too. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to offer us a pick for the Preakness? For nothing for the Giants over the Athletic five. Nothing for the D-backs. Wow. Look at these scores for nothing. Giants over the A’s five. Nothing. D-backs over the Rockies five. Nothing. Mariners over San Diego. And in the big surprise of the night, the LA angels beating the LA Dodgers, 4 to 1 right now in the sixth inning. Dodgers currently plus 230. They were massive favorites tonight guys the Dodgers. But we see this I tell people this all the time. The Dodgers will lose game one to a bat team of a series. And then they’ll murder them in the next two games. What they did earlier in the week to the Athletics. And now the Dodgers will kill the angels tomorrow, I think. Tony, what do you think? Yeah, this is a game. I was just looking at that game cam gave. I was looking for most. I would like to play Kershaw to get to record the victory. Basically to record a win. Oh that’s right. Kershaw is back tomorrow. That’s right. It’s his first start. Yeah. However I don’t I I’m asking I asked the commish. He’s not he’s he’s not absolutely certain how long or how many pitches was he on. Pitch count. What’s the situation exactly. Of course. So a little more research, probably in order before I do anything. You know, any dive in. He probably only goes three. Tony, I think you might. So it’s hard to record a win that way. So yeah, but the number on them is ridiculous. I mean you can look at minus two and a half is only paying plus one, 2125 or 130. So that’s the kind of thing you’re betting on the offense tomorrow because yeah it’s a bullpen game. Like Kershaw. It’s his first game back. They’re not going to want to roll him out there for five. Even if he looks good you know maybe four type of deal. All right. You know what I mean. Twice through the order but definitely not three maybe twice through the order. But you don’t want to overdo it and over overdo it. I think the I think the offense will will show up tomorrow. I’ve always told you guys this, it’s one of those deals. Like, I guess it was good for the Leafs tonight. A good omen that the Blue Jays lost because they they’re not both going to win. So you got the Detroit Tigers tomorrow. Olson versus Berger. And Tony you brought up the Pacers record. And I as I was saying they’re the fourth best team in the NBA since January 1st. They started off the season ten and 15. First 25 games since then have been the best fourth best team in the NBA. If you look at the Detroit Tigers record and don’t forget I bring this up guys. They opened up the season against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers played in Tokyo. Then they they went to LA and they played three games against the Detroit Tigers. The Dodgers won all three games. Since then the Detroit Tigers are 30 and 12. They’re 30 and 15 on the season, but they’ve won 30 of their last 42, 30 of their last 42 games since losing the first three games. Like literally other than the Dodgers, Tony, the Detroit Tigers are the hottest team in baseball this year. Without question, without question. And we talked a little. I talked at length about this on another program. So and if Detroit continues to hit like they’re hitting, they may end up with the best record in baseball. I just don’t think that happens. What goes around comes around. And. The still underdogs at home on the road and all of these games, it’s time for people to start understanding they legitimate team that has a chance not only to win the series against Cleveland, but also maybe to even go all the way to the NBA finals. I think a lot of the focus has been on why the Cavs have not played particularly well. A lot oft is due to injury, of course, but I think that’s taking too much credit away from what the Pacers have done. Newswire only on sports grid. Malaysia. You guys know I am a huge fan.

I don’t wish that on anybody. I don’t I hate that Achilles knees and ankles. I don’t like talking about hi. I’ve said it a million times, but screw the Celtics. Farrell coast to coast only on sports grid. The two guys that can do it all. Too much electricity this morning. This is a good time. We’re having a lot of fun. I had to do a triple take. Ka ching. Why? Because of parody. I didn’t mean to offend. Yeah, it’s not going to happen. Load management is a dirty word. Let him rip. You know what circumstances provide the results? What? How do you do this one? Oh, Donnie, you got such a good show there. A network that is booming. The early line only on sports grid. All right, we don’t have enough time for the dumbest name in sport debate. But a lot of people are saying the Anaheim Ducks. Yeah, it’s not a lot of ducks in Anaheim. But you know, they had the movie The Mighty Ducks. I at least they dropped the mighty thing, right? It’s just the Anaheim Ducks. The ducks jerseys and logo is cool and I like ducks. So I’m I’m going to I’m going to say back off the ducks. Oh I approve of the ducks. Not not that I think about it actually. I have to say the Utah Jazz might be the dumbest name in sports. Come on. Yeah, you’re the New Orleans has nothing to do with jazz. That’s like. Yeah, it was. It was the Utah Mormons, man. Cam, you brought up the Pelicans or somebody. It was you like the Pelicans the New Orleans. That’s what they should be called. Not the Pelicans the New Orleans Jazz. They they play they play jazz. All right we got we got a Smiley Kaufman video coming up. Cam what’s your pick. Who’s going to win the who’s going to win quickly. Who’s going to win the PGA Championship. I got DeChambeau but Jon Rahm looks pretty good live at 30 to 1. I hate to be such a public mark here guys, but I’m going to say that yeah Scottie Scheffler is coming on cam. God he’s only plus 225. He’s right. See the guys who made the missed the cut. All the big names guys we parlayed that I’m getting killed I bet I, I bet there’d be no no hole in one. There’s already been many holes in one. But tomorrow. Baseball. Yeah. Sorry. We got. Yeah. Best bet, best bet. Best bet in baseball tomorrow. Oh the Dodgers they’re not losing. Kershaw return the Dodgers now again let’s let’s let’s make it minus two and a half plus 130. There you go. All right. Let me know Tommy, when we’re going. When we’re out here. Yeah. Tomorrow you got the Winnipeg Jets and the Dallas Stars. Winnipeg Jets shocked the world, baby. Plus 130. And they send this to seven, just like the Toronto Maple Leafs did tonight. And go Leafs go Sunday. They beat the Panthers smiley Kaufman. But the place that was the headline of the day, at least in my opinion. And most of golf Twitter golf media out there. Mudballs. Okay. And so I’m going to read you first, a quote from Scottie Scheffler following his round. And I’d like to hear your reaction to that. And then we’re going to go to Xander Schauffele after that. So this is a long quote from Scottie. He said I think when you’re looking at the purest forms of golf, like if you’re going to go play links golf, there’s absolutely no reason on a links golf course. You should play the ball up. It doesn’t matter how much rain they get, the course can be flooded underwater and the ball is still going to bounce somehow because of the way the turf is and the ground underneath the turf. And American golf, it’s significantly different when you have overseeded fairways that are not sand capped. There’s going to be a lot of mud on the ball, and that’s just part of it. When you think about the purest test of golf, I don’t personally think that hitting the ball in the middle of the fairway, you should get punished for on a golf course. As good of condition as this one is. Speaking of Quail Hollow, this is probably a situation in which it would be the least likely difference in playing it up, because most of the lies you get out here are all really good. So I understand how golf purists would be oh, played as it lies, but I don’t think they understand what it’s like literally working your entire life to learn how to hit a golf ball and control it and hit shots and control distance, and all of a sudden, due to a rules decision that is completely taken away from us by chance. What are your reflections on that comment, specifically what he’s talking about in terms of why this golf course playing preferred lies really wouldn’t make a ton of difference? Well, I want to see how many fairways that Scottie Scheffler hit today. That’s be the first place I start. He hit ten out of 14 fairways, which is a really solid number for a player that driving distance wise he’s you know, in the, you know, the top 1,015% of distance off the tee. So I’d be frustrated too. I mean he still shot two under. He’s not out of this golf tournament by any means. He’s actually in a great spot three three currently or I guess is Cam Davis. Is he at six? Cam is at five. Ryan Ryan Gerard posted five. Well he’s three shots off the lead. And he by the way while you’re talking I believe he is at the shortest odds on DraftKings sportsbook. Last I checked I think he was like plus 323 shots off the lead. So I think it’s gone down. Yeah. So I would say that plus 330 I’m sorry if this was a PGA tour event today, they would have played it up. Just I say that like you’re not supposed to necessarily play it up for Mudballs, but the PGA tour is really good about listening to the players and kind of just protecting themselves against the conversation, being around Mudballs. And I think the storyline today, besides the leaderboard being interesting and different, is, is, you know, the conditions in which they played on, on this golf course. And I think that takes away from the event. I wish the conversations more. So today would just be about, okay, the best players in the world and all the players in the top ten, top 20 didn’t play great. Now, unfortunately, the conversation is, oh, the top 20 in the world didn’t play well because of this, which, fair or not fair, everybody played well. I guess it’s hard to say because.
