<v Speaker 1>Sometimes they're hot, sometimes they're not.

2
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.639
<v Speaker 2>Let's relive the thrill of victory in the agony of

3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.640
<v Speaker 2>defeat in the zone. It's back with the best and

4
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:10.359
<v Speaker 2>worst takes from the weekend.

5
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.480
<v Speaker 3>The segment brought to you by mills Are. They are

6
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:19.079

<v Speaker 3>it would be uh Mills Air that says on their caves,

9
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 3>dot com. I'll tell you more about what went down

10
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:31.480
<v Speaker 3>at the end of this segment. Not a ton went

11
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:34.719
<v Speaker 3>down this weekend in the sports world, so we will

12
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 3>expand the conversation slightly beyond that because there's a lot

13
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:43.479
<v Speaker 3>going on right now and and a lot that pertains

14
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:45.960
<v Speaker 3>to things that have been said in the past. So

15
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 3>I will start, because I'm a positive guy, I will

16
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.000
<v Speaker 3>start with the best that is out there. I can

17
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.759
<v Speaker 3>go all the way back to when Jalen Ramsey was

18
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 3>acquired by the Miami Dolphins and be reminded of my

19
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:01.320
<v Speaker 3>original stance on him joint the team that.

20
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't a needle mover.

21
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 3>That he is, yes, still considered top fifteen at the position,

22
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.120
<v Speaker 3>but Ramsey used to be top three. He used to

23
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 3>be one of the best DB's in the NFL, and

24
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 3>when he showed up in Miami, people had a reaction

25
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 3>like he was still that guy, and he hasn't been

26
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.599
<v Speaker 3>that in years. So for him to get traded to

27
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 3>the Pittsburgh Steelers, by the way, or for him to

28
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:25.760
<v Speaker 3>get traded, you know, when you go back to the

29
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 3>original deal, for him to get traded to my Miami

30
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 3>Dolphins doesn't change my opinion of that. And for him

31
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.680
<v Speaker 3>to get dealt now, of course, is not surprising. He's

32
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 3>been on the block for the last couple of months.

33
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Now.

34
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 3>Ramsey will be a cap pick for the Miami Dolphins

35
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.120
<v Speaker 3>of about six million dollars for the next couple of seasons.

36
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.560
<v Speaker 3>The move also saves them nearly ten million in twenty

37
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 3>twenty five, cap space, eighteen in twenty twenty six, twenty

38
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 3>in the following year, and then thirty million in twenty

39
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 3>twenty eight and another twelve million in twenty twenty nine.

40
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 3>This guy had, like I wanted, like a ten year

41
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 3>contract that he was working with. This is smart for

42
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.239
<v Speaker 3>the Miami Dolphins to move off of him, and I

43
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 3>absolutely love the player they get back It's been far

44
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 3>too long since I've seen a Fitzpatrick on the back

45
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 3>of a Miami Dolphins jersey. So the only gripe I

46
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.719
<v Speaker 3>have with this trade, Tyler, is that John new Smith

47
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 3>was sent as part of the package to the Pittsburgh Steelers,

48
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 3>a team that now has three startable tight ends on

49
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 3>their roster. Smith, Darnell Washington, who is a beast physically

50
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 3>hasn't put it all together, but he's a really good running,

51
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 3>run blocking tight end, like he's not useless, and Pat Fryarmouth,

52
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 3>who's kind of good at everything. You cann't get one

53
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 3>of those guys back in the trade. I couldn't tell

54
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.680
<v Speaker 3>you who the Dolphins starting tight end is, so they

55
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.520
<v Speaker 3>still need that, especially for a Mike McDaniel offense, and really,

56
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.919
<v Speaker 3>I think more than anything a Tua led offense having

57
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 3>that safety blanket in the middle of the fields feels

58
00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 3>like it would be pretty important. John new Smith had

59
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.000
<v Speaker 3>a career year last year, but all in all, I

60
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.560
<v Speaker 3>loved the trade, and I always thought Ramsey by the

61
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 3>time he got to Miami was a little overrated.

62
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.280
<v Speaker 2>I think it makes a lot of sense for everybody

63
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 2>to depending on which way you want to look at

64
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 2>it to talk about the Pittsburgh guys. Ye, Jalen Ramsey

65
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 2>isn't the Jalen Ramsey that he was in Jacksonville. But

66
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>you're still talking about a guy that before last season

67
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>was a pro bowler for four straight seasons.

68
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>But he was still far.

69
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.360
<v Speaker 2>From the All Pro player that he was with his

70
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>time in Jacksonville as well as his years in LA

71
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>the John new Smith Angle, these were two guys that

72
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Miami was pretty clear that they were looking to move

73
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>off of that when Week one rolled around rolled along,

74
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 2>they would not be a member of the Miami Dolphins.

75
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>You look at Pittsburgh moving off of MINCA. I don't

76
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 2>I think you're getting a good return for Minca. However,

77
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it was necessary to move off

78
00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.199
<v Speaker 2>of Minca in this spot.

79
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>He still was years old.

80
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.039
<v Speaker 2>He's the youngest of any of the three, not by much,

81
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:06.080
<v Speaker 2>but he still is younger multi time pro bowler, he

82
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 2>has been All Pro, so I think it was interesting.

83
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.039
<v Speaker 2>And then the John HW Smith in particular, he reunites

84
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 2>with Arthur Smith, who is offensive coordinator of the Steelers,

85
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 2>has ties to John HU Smith going back to their

86
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>days at Tennessee when Arthur was the offensive coordinator and

87
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 2>John who was beginning his career there, as well as

88
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Arthur Smith's time as head coach in Atlanta for a year.

89
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you get the John hu Smith of

90
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.720
<v Speaker 2>the final It wasn't even a season.

91
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 1>That was great for him.

92
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 2>It was like a six week stretch to close the

93
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:39.319
<v Speaker 2>year that this guy was untouchable. So, you know, I

94
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 2>think overall win for the Dolphins to get off of

95
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.800
<v Speaker 2>those guys. You save some money in the process for

96
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.160
<v Speaker 2>next season, as you mentioned, and you still get a

97
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 2>really good defensive player in Minka Fitzpatrick.

98
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 3>It's hard to believe for me that he hasn't been

99
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 3>on the Miami Dolphins since twenty nineteen.

100
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 1>The last been a long time.

101
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it doesn't feel like it's been that long. I

102
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.680
<v Speaker 3>still remember being is staff that they traded him in

103
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 3>the first place. He then goes to the Pittsburgh Steelers

104
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:10.319
<v Speaker 3>first couple of seasons five interceptions, five interceptions. The uh no,

105
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.079
<v Speaker 3>that was the same season twenty nineteen five interceptions, twenty

106
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.800
<v Speaker 3>twenty four interceptions, and then two and twenty twenty one,

107
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker 3>and then six in twenty twenty two. Since then, so

108
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.800
<v Speaker 3>the twenty three and twenty four season. The last two

109
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:27.399
<v Speaker 3>years he has one total I int so the production

110
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.560
<v Speaker 3>slipping a little bit. That is not the only way

111
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 3>to judge a defensive back. Sometimes interceptions can be kind

112
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 3>of fluky and situational. It's really about how you are

113
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.839
<v Speaker 3>in coverage and all of those things. Minka Fitzpatrick to

114
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 3>say that he's not the same player he was when

115
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 3>he was twenty five, Okay, you could probably say that

116
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 3>about every defensive back in the NFL. Both sides of

117
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.759
<v Speaker 3>the deal right now, if you're a Steelers fan, you're

118
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.720
<v Speaker 3>selling yourself on, Hey, Ramsey's Ramsey's just as good as

119
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.319
<v Speaker 3>he's always been. And if you're on the Dolphins side,

120
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:59.720
<v Speaker 3>you go, hey, MIKEA. Fitzpatrick, you know, this guy hasn't

121
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.759
<v Speaker 3>really fallen off the way that some are suggesting.

122
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.839
<v Speaker 1>So I love the deal.

123
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 3>But I didn't expect to get any player back for

124
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.279
<v Speaker 3>Jalen Ramsey, so I'm pretty happy with that. One of

125
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.680
<v Speaker 3>the worst of the weekend was that I was convinced

126
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.600
<v Speaker 3>that Ace Bailey was never going to show up for

127
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.800
<v Speaker 3>the Utah Jazz. I had convinced myself so much so

128
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.360
<v Speaker 3>that I was convinced they were going to strike a

129
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.759
<v Speaker 3>deal with the Boston Celtics, sending Bailey to Boston and

130
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.399
<v Speaker 3>Jalen Brown to the Utah Jazz. It still could happen,

131
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 3>but Ace Bailey did make his way to Utah and

132
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.160
<v Speaker 3>even spoke to reporters.

133
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 2>Was there any point that you considered not coming to Utah?

134
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:42.480
<v Speaker 3>No, not at all.

135
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just blessed to be in his position. I

136
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:46.480
<v Speaker 1>am not a lot of people can sit in these

137
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.040
<v Speaker 1>chairs and have great teammates. As I got on, they

138
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 1>came on with me. So I'm just bless to be here.

139
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.079
<v Speaker 1>All right, Hey, he's happened to be in Utah. It's

140
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>all I needed to hear.

141
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:56.920
<v Speaker 3>You know how I felt bad for as I'm watching,

142
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 3>I probably watched about five minutes of this is Walter

143
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:04.480
<v Speaker 3>Clayton Junior. Your moment just completely overshadowed because all anybody

144
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 3>wanted to ask was a question to Ace Bailey and

145
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:11.800
<v Speaker 3>what's going on and how much are you committed to

146
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 3>this team and all of that. Somebody that was in

147
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.079
<v Speaker 3>the room second question went to Walter Clayton Junior, and

148
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:20.639
<v Speaker 3>I think it was just like, please, somebody ask this

149
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:23.759
<v Speaker 3>guy a question. It does feel like his moment was

150
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.399
<v Speaker 3>overshadowed because the biggest story coming out of the draft

151
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.120
<v Speaker 3>is this Ace Bailey stuff.

152
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.759
<v Speaker 2>But uh, he's in Utah, So I got that one wrong. Yeah,

153
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.319
<v Speaker 2>I think that Ace Utah drafting. We went through this

154
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.279
<v Speaker 2>last week, Utah drafting Ace Bailey. I do believe that

155
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:40.480
<v Speaker 2>it's taken a chance on him. It's taken a chance

156
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 2>that even though there were reports from his agent that

157
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.639
<v Speaker 2>that's not where he wanted to go. Listen, at the

158
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.480
<v Speaker 2>fifth pick, you are too good a prospect to slip.

159
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't live with myself any further any longer if

160
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I let you slide by five in that front office mind,

161
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:55.439
<v Speaker 2>So you take the swing on him.

162
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>You know.

163
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it's fun to try to connect Ace to

164
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 2>Boston or Ace elsewhere and say, hey, this is all

165
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.720
<v Speaker 2>a plan to bring in Jalen Brown and the deal

166
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.120
<v Speaker 2>just they're working on the small details. If that were

167
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.560
<v Speaker 2>the case and that deal falls through and that information

168
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:12.680
<v Speaker 2>goes public.

169
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>That's a fireable offense.

170
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.639
<v Speaker 2>Drafting a player with the intent to trade him without

171
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:17.920
<v Speaker 2>having that deal done.

172
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:19.319
<v Speaker 1>It's just a little too messy form.

173
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 2>So that's why I believe that Utah drafted Ace with

174
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.519
<v Speaker 2>the goal to make him the franchise player. Down the line,

175
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:28.720
<v Speaker 2>there was the release that he's going to be wearing

176
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.879
<v Speaker 2>number nineteen at least at first for Utah. We fully

177
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.879
<v Speaker 2>expect that changed to two once the Conseexton trade is official,

178
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.759
<v Speaker 2>and Ace will be rocking too. So if you know what,

179
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.559
<v Speaker 2>I would be convinced if they were keeping him at

180
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.399
<v Speaker 2>number nineteen, then that would be out of spite. That'd

181
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:45.559
<v Speaker 2>be you don't want to play for us, here's number nineteen.

182
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Go have fun, buddy. No, they're going to try to

183
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:49.600
<v Speaker 2>market this guy in the right way and just try

184
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:51.279
<v Speaker 2>to build that relationship to make him happy to be

185
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.480
<v Speaker 2>a member of the Jazz at least for his rookie contract.

186
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker 3>And beyond two is a really strong number for a

187
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:59.200
<v Speaker 3>star in the NBA. I can't think of who my

188
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.519
<v Speaker 3>favorite nineteen would be at NBA history.

189
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Yaka Pertl is like the one and only player to

190
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 2>come to mind, and I think he's rock nineteen in

191
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.559
<v Speaker 2>a couple different places, so he's he's consistent.

192
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 3>I got another worst for beyond the Weekend, and that

193
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.919
<v Speaker 3>is that I know at some point I have said

194
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.320
<v Speaker 3>that gambling controversies in sports would never reach the levels

195
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 3>of a significant player on any team Johntay Porters of

196
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.159
<v Speaker 3>the world. Those are gonna be the guys, the guys

197
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.559
<v Speaker 3>that are barely hanging on. Those are gonna be the

198
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:32.039
<v Speaker 3>ones that succumb to the temptation of making a couple

199
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:34.879
<v Speaker 3>of extra bucks on prop bets for which they are

200
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.279
<v Speaker 3>affiliated with. These guys can tinker with their performance and production,

201
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.320
<v Speaker 3>tip off a couple of people, maybe even play some

202
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:47.720
<v Speaker 3>bets themselves, and points can be shaven, rebounds can be shaved.

203
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:53.120
<v Speaker 3>That can happen. Malik Beasley's deal this past year is

204
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:56.559
<v Speaker 3>worth six million dollars. His next contract would have been

205
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:00.039
<v Speaker 3>north of forty million dollars. Even if you're the the

206
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.600
<v Speaker 3>best sports better on the planet, it's tough to make

207
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.720
<v Speaker 3>forty two million dollars doing this. I still don't believe

208
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.159
<v Speaker 3>this is gonna be a widespread issue in pro sports.

209
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:14.759
<v Speaker 3>We will have all these instances among select players where

210
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:18.600
<v Speaker 3>this becomes an issue. But damn, this is as close

211
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 3>too wrong as I could possibly be in this whole

212
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:27.840
<v Speaker 3>betting situation. Because Malik Beasley is a well known NBA

213
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:32.320
<v Speaker 3>player who isn't making nothing comparatively to everybody else that's

214
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.320
<v Speaker 3>in the league, and he's still caught up in this.

215
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:40.679
<v Speaker 2>Some guys won't learn and won't realize the situation that

216
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.440
<v Speaker 2>they're in and the blessing that it is to be

217
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:43.399
<v Speaker 2>in that situation.

218
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.480
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a tempting thing. And I think I.

219
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Think you will put a tweet out afterwards, like you

220
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.919
<v Speaker 2>understand the temptation from players, but you can't comprehend the

221
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:54.759
<v Speaker 2>execution of it from the players.

222
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.159
<v Speaker 1>It's it's totally it's unbelievable. You know, it's betting.

223
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:02.759
<v Speaker 2>It's fun in nature, it's it's a social thing. And

224
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.840
<v Speaker 2>who knows to what capacity that Malik Beasley was betting,

225
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.159
<v Speaker 2>and if it's betting on himself, regardless of what it is,

226
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.360
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't How he was betting doesn't make it right.

227
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.879
<v Speaker 2>Whether he was physically betting on himself, betting on games

228
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:17.639
<v Speaker 2>that he was involved in, betting on them to cover spreads,

229
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.000
<v Speaker 2>whatever it is, it doesn't make it right. And now

230
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.720
<v Speaker 2>there's that play from three years ago when he went

231
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.720
<v Speaker 2>coast to coast to cover the spread on a layup

232
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.039
<v Speaker 2>and lose by seven instead of nine and eight and

233
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.679
<v Speaker 2>a half points spread. I mean, you know, well, we'll

234
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:33.600
<v Speaker 2>get more information about it. We'll see if we can

235
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.320
<v Speaker 2>lock down how he was betting. But it's just a

236
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.559
<v Speaker 2>reminder that doesn't make it right. These athletes know what

237
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 2>they are facing if they get caught, and some will,

238
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:44.759
<v Speaker 2>whether you're a big star or not, some will be

239
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 2>irresponsible enough to go through with it.

240
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 3>It's just not It's not worth it at all. I

241
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:57.440
<v Speaker 3>cannot understand going through with something like this. And you

242
00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:01.039
<v Speaker 3>look at when the investigation takes place now, But what

243
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:07.080
<v Speaker 3>they're investigating was it was irregular action by some sports

244
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:10.399
<v Speaker 3>book that's out there in the country. In the twenty

245
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:14.440
<v Speaker 3>three to twenty four season, he started, didn't play. Started

246
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.080
<v Speaker 3>in seventy seven games for the Milwaukee Bucks that season,

247
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:21.960
<v Speaker 3>averaged eleven points per game. This is not a Johntay

248
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.519
<v Speaker 3>Porter situation, some random player coming off of the bench

249
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 3>to give a couple of minutes. And I don't even

250
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 3>get it when those guys do it. Because you still

251
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.120
<v Speaker 3>have an NBA jersey on, you have made it to

252
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:36.240
<v Speaker 3>a degree, but when you're starting NBA games, no, it

253
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:40.399
<v Speaker 3>makes no sense whatsoever. So part of this was I

254
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:44.360
<v Speaker 3>was I'm gonna read this directly. A gambling industry source

255
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.759
<v Speaker 3>pointed to a game between the Bucks and the Portland Trailblazers.

256
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:51.080
<v Speaker 3>On January thirty first, twenty twenty four, the odds on

257
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:54.159
<v Speaker 3>Beasley recording fewer than two and a half rebounds moved

258
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:57.559
<v Speaker 3>significantly at the sports book before the game, shortening from

259
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:01.559
<v Speaker 3>plus one twenty to minus two on the under at

260
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:04.279
<v Speaker 3>two and a half rebounds. That sort of surge of

261
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:09.639
<v Speaker 3>action caught the eye of some sources within the industry,

262
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:12.840
<v Speaker 3>and Beasley finished with six rebounds in the game, and

263
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:19.039
<v Speaker 3>all of the bets that moved the line unusually lost

264
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.960
<v Speaker 3>when you figure there was insider information, and perhaps that

265
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.840
<v Speaker 3>insider information was coming from Malik Beasley, so that is

266
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:29.399
<v Speaker 3>a feather in his cap to say, Hey, the game

267
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:32.399
<v Speaker 3>that you're talking about, I hit the over, okay, So

268
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:35.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm me handing out all of this under information. There's

269
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:36.879
<v Speaker 3>got to be more to it than that, though. For

270
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.360
<v Speaker 3>this is just the story, part of the story from

271
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.799
<v Speaker 3>ESPN dot com, But that's what we know as of

272
00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:45.879
<v Speaker 3>right now. Also, worst of the weekend for me. Last

273
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:49.720
<v Speaker 3>week we did our first Diamond Report, a trip around

274
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Major League Baseball, and one of the listeners said, how

275
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:55.840
<v Speaker 3>could you not mention the Miami Marlins, And I believe

276
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.519
<v Speaker 3>my response was that there's nothing worth mentioning. Well, here

277
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:02.960
<v Speaker 3>come the Fish. The Marlins set a franchise record with

278
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.039
<v Speaker 3>their ninth straight victory on the road and swept a

279
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.960
<v Speaker 3>trio of six plus games for the first time. Miami,

280
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.320
<v Speaker 3>which is off today, finished the month of June fourteen

281
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.519
<v Speaker 3>and twelve, and it is the first winning record for

282
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.279
<v Speaker 3>a full month of actions since May of twenty twenty four.

283
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.639
<v Speaker 1>So there you go. There's your hat tip to the

284
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Miami Marlins. Yeah.

285
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:26.360
<v Speaker 2>I was wrong on that one too. You asked me

286
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:29.639
<v Speaker 2>when premium picks. I believe it was on Friday. There

287
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.200
<v Speaker 2>were three teams on a winning shriek of three games

288
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.240
<v Speaker 2>or more, maybe it was four games or more heading

289
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:38.360
<v Speaker 2>into the weekend. It was the Astros, it was somebody

290
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:40.559
<v Speaker 2>that I don't recall, and it was the Miami Marlins.

291
00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:42.960
<v Speaker 2>And I said, no, none of them are making it

292
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.399
<v Speaker 2>out alive. None of them are continuing the Streek. Oh

293
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.120
<v Speaker 2>was the Dodgers, the Dodgers, the other one Dodgers, and

294
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.679
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers loss over the weekend. The Ashros lost the

295
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:53.240
<v Speaker 2>game to the Cubes over the weekend. But the Miami

296
00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Marlins where they sweep over the diamondback, so they got

297
00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.320
<v Speaker 2>they got something going on down there in South Florida.

298
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.600
<v Speaker 3>Do you have anything before we wrap this segment up? Oh,

299
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.480
<v Speaker 3>if we do anything on the Big Dumper, by the.

300
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Way, I don't think.

301
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we had any action in on the

302
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.279
<v Speaker 2>big on the Big Dumpy, I will throw out just

303
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:17.039
<v Speaker 2>a life one, a best one not to do with sports.

304
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.559
<v Speaker 2>It has been a long time since I've had five guys,

305
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.879
<v Speaker 2>and I felt like five guys yesterday. I did know

306
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:26.559
<v Speaker 2>what it was, but it just kind of felt like

307
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:29.480
<v Speaker 2>a burger. Didn't want to go anywhere, just want to

308
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:31.759
<v Speaker 2>grab it, bring it home. And I got five guys

309
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:34.879
<v Speaker 2>in BK. Although it is too expensive, it's a bit

310
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:38.559
<v Speaker 2>too salty. That's the best fast food burger in the game. Oh,

311
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.919
<v Speaker 2>I was, I was. I wasn't satisfied paying the twenty

312
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:43.759
<v Speaker 2>bucks that it was for a burger in the fries,

313
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.559
<v Speaker 2>But that combo is as good as any other in

314
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:47.519
<v Speaker 2>the fast food industry.

315
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:50.320
<v Speaker 3>The prices everywhere right now are just a little more

316
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.440
<v Speaker 3>ridiculous than they need to be. It's hard to find

317
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.159
<v Speaker 3>places where you're really comfortable with the current price of

318
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.799
<v Speaker 3>whatever it is they're selling, especially in the food and

319
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:00.240
<v Speaker 3>beverage industry.

320
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.799
<v Speaker 1>But five guys always delivers rock solid and just the

321
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:05.360
<v Speaker 1>way it like.

322
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:08.399
<v Speaker 3>It continues to cook in the bag and the fries

323
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:09.399
<v Speaker 3>are always hot.

324
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:12.679
<v Speaker 1>I never had cold fries at five. And they give

325
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:13.679
<v Speaker 1>you a lot of them too.

326
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:15.840
<v Speaker 2>You go through the cup of fries and then you

327
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:20.399
<v Speaker 2>still have another small serving in the bag itself. I mean,

328
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:22.279
<v Speaker 2>it's it's a great it was. It was a great

329
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:23.360
<v Speaker 2>experience that an out of ten.

330
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:27.360
<v Speaker 3>So I had a freak incident that occurred on Friday.

331
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.639
<v Speaker 3>Get the call from the wife as I'm making my

332
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.960
<v Speaker 3>way home and she said, our AC isn't working right now.

333
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:36.799
<v Speaker 3>I can't seem to fix it, and uh, which is odd.

334
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.919
<v Speaker 3>I just had my regular maintenance from Mills Air. So

335
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:42.360
<v Speaker 3>I called them and I said, what's going on? Can

336
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:44.080
<v Speaker 3>you help out? This is at night, by the way,

337
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:46.799
<v Speaker 3>this is when most places have completely shut down their operation.

338
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:48.200
<v Speaker 3>They came out, they were
