Bald Guys On The Bench

Midnight Marathon At The Sports Equinox

Graham Cohen and Scott Wasco Season 1 Episode 171

Send us a text

Recorded October 28th, 2025

A walk-off at 2 a.m., a rookie jumping from Single-A to a World Series Game 1 start, and Ohtani forcing mid-at-bat meetings—this week delivered pure sports chaos. We open on the marathon baseball epic and the Sports Equinox rush, where Freddie Freeman’s clutch gene met empty seats in extra innings and our group chat faded before the final swing. It’s the kind of night that reminds you why fans stay up, why coaches sweat pitch calls, and how one mistake becomes a highlight forever.

From there we dig into the college football earthquake. NIL isn’t just changing the scoreboard—it’s changing the map. High-school NIL, portal surges, and big-money collectives are reshaping what “destination program” even means. Why chase a legacy logo when you can build a roster and a war chest where you are? We talk real incentives behind the coaching carousel, why Oregon’s stability might trump prestige, and how a program can sprint from the bottom to the top when the budget and buy-in align.

Then the sirens: the NBA’s betting and poker mess. Player props spike in odd places, sportsbooks flag the patterns, and video clips fuel suspicion. We break down how books actually detect anomalies, why college props are restricted, and what integrity enforcement may look like next. Meanwhile, the NFL delivered a historic week for favorites and a graveyard for survivor pools. We relive the pain, reset expectations, and update our AFC and NFC power views—credit to the Colts and Chiefs in the AFC, while the Eagles and Lions hold shape in the NFC with the Rams lurking as they heal.

We close with sharp Week 9 angles and trap alerts, plus a few unforgettable sideline moments that prove nothing in sports is truly routine. If you love strategy, live-bet discipline, and the thin line between spectacle and consequence, you’ll feel right at home here. Enjoy the ride, share it with a friend, and if it brought you value, follow the show, leave a review, and tell us your boldest pick for the weekend.

Annouuncer:

Welcome to another episode of the Bald Guys on the Bench Podcast with your hosts Graham Cohen and Scott Wasco.

Graham:

What's up everyone? Welcome back to another other welcome back to another episode of the Bald Guys on the Bench. Bro, after last night in that baseball game, not getting a lot of sleep. Woo! Are we in for a great show today? How are you doing, brother?

Scott:

I'm bitter that the game ended at 2 something a.m. my time because I fell asleep around 12 30, maybe. Yeah. Woke up around 2.15 just in time to watch Freeman hit the walk-off. Dude. Insane. You knew it was gonna be him. The thing that pisses me off is I'm sitting there from the tenth inning on, like placing dollar bets on every person in the lineup for both teams is gonna hit a bomb.

Graham:

Yeah.

Scott:

Then fall asleep, and of course it's Freeman. So it's like, whatever. I mean, that's the fun of live betting, right? I mean, I don't know. Yeah. I mean, 100%. The crazy thing is, like the commanders and the Chiefs started at the same time as the Doyers and the Blue Jays. The Commanders might have been already back in DC by the time the baseball game ended. I mean, but anyhow, before we get into the episode, you know, let's grab it, let's crack it. I mean, geez.

Annouuncer:

Let's go, brother. Cheers.

Graham:

Woo.

Scott:

You know, they called yesterday the sports equinox. You know, I mean, baseball, basketball, hockey, and football. What else? You said all the football. And Kristen was like, when we're talking about, oh, don't forget soccer. Who? Yeah. I mean, dude.

Graham:

Unbelievable. It got to a point last night in the extra innings, so we're just texting you and I back and forth. And it got to a point where our texting was getting slower and slower, just response time. And then it got to a point in the 14th, and I'm just like, I'm looking up my phone, you know, just scrolling through while, you know, the off endings and stuff. And I'm just like, I haven't heard from Scott. And I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna take four to one bets right now. He's passed out on the couch.

Scott:

Dude, dude. I mean, at one point I looked at Twitter and Jim Room was like, hey, anybody on the East Coast that's awake, hit me up.

Graham:

Yeah.

Scott:

At that point, I was awake, but I was like, you know, I don't have a dog in the fight. I don't care who wins. I'm low-key pulling for the Blue Jays.

Annouuncer:

Yeah.

Scott:

Just because I think it'd be a great story.

Annouuncer:

Yeah.

Scott:

It's not my hate of the Dodgers, it's the hate of the Dodgers fans. I actually like the players on the Dodgers. Yeah. It's, you know, living in SoCal for so long. Oh, let's go Dodgers. Let's go. Shut up, dude. You know, but whatever. Don't care. But I'm just like, dude, as a sports fan, I'm like, I can't go to sleep not knowing.

Graham:

Yeah. You know, I it it was a c I mean, what do they say in Insta Classic? They played two games in one last night. The best part of it was also the fact they kept doing uh not flashbacks, but they're you know, they kept showing video feed from Otani's hometown in Japan. It's like, oh, here's all the kids, and they're watching it at like six o'clock in the morning or whatever time it was. And then when the game ended, it was 3:30 in the afternoon in Japan.

Scott:

Like, what yeah. What unbelievable. But it just dude, before we even get into that, let's weekend real quick. Yeah. You know, how was your weekend? Lots of sports going on. NFL Sunday. I know you worked a little bit.

Graham:

Yeah. It really was just pretty much work. Uh watching a little bit of college football, uh, but I did work most of most of Saturday. Sunday was an all-day football event, uh, which we'll definitely get into. It is what it is. Um, and yeah, Friday was pretty chill as well. So just relax. What about you?

Scott:

Yeah, dude. Uh you know, Thursday, we taped our last episode on Wednesday, and you got it out Thursday morning. Chargers played Thursday night against the Vikings at home. Uh before that game, Kellen had a football game Thursday night. You know, so it was like Thursday, go from Kellen's game, come to my house, watch the Chargers. But I gotta give the kid a shout out, man. You know, yeah, he's my son. Yeah, you know, I'm biased. I love the kid, obviously. Duh. Uh he was, you know, he got benched in a weird situation because he missed a tackle. You know, I've told you about it.

Annouuncer:

Yeah.

Scott:

And when he missed the tackle, they were up 38 to nothing, the other team, and they brought a kid down from the varsity team to take his spot at middle linebacker. And so Kellen literally didn't play for two games. He was straight up special teams. Well, started last week, made some plays, and my guy got an onside kick at the end of the first half. Nice, let the team score, and then in the third quarter, blew up a dude on another onside kick. I sent you the video to make him drop the onside kick. They got another one. Kids put he was playing, he was pumped. Best game he's had. Nice as a JB player, yeah, as a freshman. A mad at it. But then came home, watched the Chargers. As a McKellen's game, I get the news that Alt's gonna start. Pipkins is coming back, Perryman's playing, and I'm like instantly feeling better about the situation, right? Like, okay, let's go. Herbie's got his protectors back, right? You know, if we get into the game, Herbie throws that pick six that they review. It's an incomplete pass because the ball hit the ground. But, you know, you say, whatever, dude. You can say whatever you want. Uh, it was nice for the Chargers to lay the wood to somebody for once and get the dub and look good doing it, dude. You know, uh mad at it. Yeah, I am mad at it. Who's Herb Street's guy in the Al Michaels? Yeah. Amazon. Come on, Al Michaels. You gave the jinx of all jinx to my boy Dicker the kicker. He ain't missed a field goal all year.

Graham:

He did it to him twice. Dude barely made it the first time. What the sh I thought he missed it the first time, to be honest. Because the camera angle.

Scott:

God dang long snapper, the long snapper, Dovado, Bellato, whatever from Old Dominion. I want to like you, bro, but you keep snapping like that. Boom by can we get our original? Can we get our original starter back off the IR, please? My God. But you know, Charter's got the dub. I'm pumped on it. You know, obviously, uh made for a stress-free Sunday watching the NFL week. But one thing I do have to say, uh, it's Tuesday, October 28th. Exactly a year ago today, my boy Adam passed away. Oh, wow. It's amaz amazing to think it's been a year. Like, wow. It is crazy. How does time fly? Right? T P and I were talking about it earlier. But, you know, wild. Still think about my guy, you know, still think about his wife, Tracy.

Annouuncer:

Yeah.

Scott:

But uh not to, you know, threat, you know, put a damper on things.

Graham:

No.

Scott:

Uh something you asked me about last week, my girl Caitlin that I give lessons to, North Carolina State Championship yesterday and today in Pinehurst. Uh, dude, we have this crazy storm going on right now on the East Coast. And literally, she shot 80s yesterday, 84 yesterday, and pouring down rain, 30 mile an hour winds, was tied for sixth after one round. And today was a second round, and literally her mom texts me our rain delay. Then they started, they played three holes, called it, tied for sixth, freshman year, state of North Carolina as a freshman.

Graham:

I mean, that's uh pretty decent as the kids say, wow.

Scott:

I mean, amazing. Ain't mad at it. No, super proud, super proud of her. But dude, the World Series started Friday night in Toronto.

Annouuncer:

Yeah.

Scott:

And Toronto laid the wood to the Dodgers in Saturday night. Dude. Dodgers pitching performance. Like, really? Are you kidding me right now? Yamamoto. Complete game, back-to-back complete games. I mean, I mean, even it up, going back to LA on Saturday. I mean, insane. But a little college football before we start getting into the you know World Series. Absolutely. Uh dude, LSU gets boat raced at a home by Texas AM. And we all know about how everybody says LSU is a tough place to play, especially at a night game.

Annouuncer:

Yeah.

Scott:

And uh at the end of the third quarter, exit stage left. LSU fans. And the ones at stage, were they chanting something? Something like fire somebody, maybe.

Graham:

You know, all I'm gonna say about Brian Kelly is this when he got offered the job and then accepted not everyone, but a large consensus of people, including you and I, were like, that's just doesn't seem right.

Scott:

That's just dude. Think about think about when they introduced him at the basketball game and he came out with this fake accent. Do you remember that?

Graham:

Oh, how could I forget? Like, I mean, he got dude.

Scott:

I wish I could quote it.

Graham:

Ran through after people heard that. Oh, yeah.

Scott:

Oh, I mean my guy acted like he was Bobby Boucher's stepdad.

Graham:

I I mean, I want to say I get it, but you know, look, trying to fit in. But dude.

Scott:

He would have fit in better if he if he went out and was like, I don't know what jambalaye is. I ain't never had a crawfish a day in my life.

Graham:

But I'll get you some dubs. That didn't happen. I just it's now we're at the point where look at all the big programs that are looking for head coaches now. Like this is insane. Uh LSU, Florida, Penn State. Uh I mean, just those three alone. I mean, normally those type of programs.

Scott:

CLA, Arkansas, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State, Stanford.

Graham:

Yeah. Normally that's one, maybe a two of those teams in a in a season. But to have that happen, wow. I mean, let me ask you this. Is the NIL affecting coaches?

Scott:

Absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, remember at the beginning of the college football season, we were praising LSU and how good their defense looked because of the people they paid when Underwood reneged and didn't go to LSU and went to Michigan. And all that money they got.

Graham:

Against Notre Dame, right? That first game.

Scott:

Uh Clemson, I think.

Annouuncer:

Okay.

Scott:

It was Clemson. Yeah. But everybody was praising. I don't know, man. I don't know. Now they're saying Brian Kelly maybe to Penn State. No. Wouldn't be mad at it? No. Please don't. Please don't.

Graham:

Please don't.

Scott:

I mean, Lane Kiffin? Lane Kiffin is in the driver's seat, but once again, why would you leave Ole Miss, dude? Why?

Annouuncer:

Because Old Miss is not LS.

Scott:

Who cares?

Annouuncer:

Yeah.

Scott:

You still get to pay players now. Yeah. The same thing as Cigaretti or whatever his name is in the state.

Annouuncer:

Yeah, East Netdy, yeah.

Scott:

Dude, why would you leave there now? Yeah. Back in the day before you could pay players. Yeah, 100%. I'm leaving Indiana. To go to Penn State. To go, but why now? I can pay motherfuckers. I mean, I mean, true.

Graham:

I mean Am I not wrong?

Scott:

No, you're absolutely wrong. I mean, why would Lane Kiffin, why would you leave Ole Miss to go to Florida?

Graham:

All right, let me ask you this question. 500 in the SEC. Why would Dan Lanning, who's been names been mentioned, why would he leave Oregon?

Scott:

No chance.

Graham:

With the way college football is now, it's not, you know, the dynasty teams. It's not the legacy. It's not like, oh, you go here, this is this is what's gonna happen to you. Every every NFL NFL slap my face, every college has a chance now if they got a pocketbook. That's really what it comes down to. There's no loyalty, bye-bye. No such thing.

Scott:

Who would have who would have ever thought three years ago that you could be arguing today on October 28th, 2025, that Indiana is the best team in college football?

Graham:

I'm glad you brought that up. Are you gonna piggyback that with the stat that I saw the other day, which is Indiana has the worst college football record of all time?

Scott:

Yeah, and two years later, no, arguably the best team. Yeah. No, I'm not I'm not they could be they're number one.

Graham:

I know, but I'm just saying statistically, they are the worst college football team of all time.

Scott:

Ever.

Graham:

Ever.

Scott:

Ever.

Graham:

And they're like, hey, take all this money and be our head coach. Don't don't leave us and go to Penn State. Don't leave us and go.

Scott:

But I'm gonna not only that, but I'm gonna bring 30 players from GMU from my previous squad, bring them to Indiana. Dude, it's wild. I don't know. I don't even know.

Graham:

Dude, do you want to hear what's more wild? I mean, uh, folks, you might have to fact check me on this, but I saw something online last night scrolling. Ohio passed a law that says they are now allowing high school athletes to receive NIL.

Scott:

Oh, dude. They can get them in Virginia.

Graham:

Oh, I didn't know that was a thing. Wow.

Scott:

Yeah, oh yeah. Yep. Oh yeah. Crazy.

Graham:

Oh, capitalism.

Scott:

You know what else is crazy? Something I something I learned today. Something I learned today. You know, backtracking to the Chargers. Vidal, right? Fitting in for Omari and Hampton. Had an amazing game, over 100 rushing yards. Yeah. Uh my dude, Komani Vidal, is Hank Aaron's great nephew.

Graham:

I think I saw that somewhere. Dude. You take back all those mean things you said about him last season?

Scott:

I never said anything bad about him last year. He just couldn't pass Brock. He couldn't pass Brock. But my guy showed up the other night and pass blocked his dick off.

Graham:

Yeah.

Scott:

Um, anyhow. Dude, I don't even know where to start. I mean, World Series game one. I gotta just bring it up because I was talking to you about it. Fuck game one starter. Uh my boy Trey Savage.

Graham:

Uh-huh.

Scott:

Okay. Game one starter for the Blue Jays. Uh his first ever professional game started was April 8th, 2025, in single A baseball. And then he's starting game one of the World Series in the same season.

Graham:

The little things that people don't pick up on and how amazing it is. Sometimes, he's strikes out Otani. Yeah.

Scott:

Did you see his parents in the stands?

Graham:

Yeah.

Scott:

I mean, his dad had a smile on his face the size of Texas. He probably had a Woody the size of Texas, too. I mean, dude, what a story, bro.

Graham:

Oh, 100%. I mean, when you're this young and naive and you don't know, you're just like, F it. I'm here. Let's do it. Let's run it. You know, it's just like they're not taking into account of what it actually means to be on the stage. They just block it all out and say, hey, it's my turn to pitch. Give me the ball. I'm gonna throw it to the plate. Let's go.

Scott:

Dude, his his first start in single A, the attendance, 328 people.

Graham:

Yeah.

Scott:

World Series game one, 44,000.

Graham:

Yeah.

Scott:

Like, and this is why we love sports. And this is why I was bitter that game went so long last night on a day that I had to work the next day.

Graham:

Yeah.

Scott:

You know, I think I sent you a thing. Sports fans last night.

Graham:

Yeah. It's also just to touch on that.

Scott:

You know, the bet but real quick, real quick before we before you you savage the starter for game one for the Blue Jays. Do you know where you play college baseball?

Graham:

Every time you ask me this, I'm gonna say ECO.

Scott:

Well, that's a good answer. We are the pirates of ECU.

Graham:

Um, you know what I was gonna say is watching that game last night, like so many unbelievable plays, so much good pitching. I mean, the defense, the some of the craziness that that happened.

Scott:

Bro. And his wife having a shit fit. Oh, that was amazing. Bro, in the moment I truly hope that is Kershaw's I truly hope that his Kersaw's last appearance in baseball.

Graham:

I would, I mean, the only way I would see him coming in is if the Dodgers were up. They knew they're gonna win the game and it's the closing out game. Like, I think they would only pitch him if it was a closeout and they were up by X amount of runs. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because there's no reason for them to pitch him. Like they had to last night. Like they had no options. So, but my thoughts are, you know, while it was going on, you know, obviously stressful. I'm I'm rooting for the Dodgers, but you know, I'm I'm enjoying the great game. But as it's going on, yeah, there's so many time the announcers are like, oh, I can't believe this is happening, and how historic is this? But like when you're in it, it's you're just like, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. But like, I'm still focused on the game. It's not until today, and especially after you know going online and seeing highlights and people having their opinions and talking about it and saying this, that, and the other. You really have to sit back and be like, Wow. Unlike my colleague over here, Scott, I was awake and witnessed every inning. I'm just busting job. I'm busting.

Scott:

I'm sorry. I'm on the East Coast. You're on the West Coast.

Graham:

I know, I know.

Scott:

I have a job I have to go to in the morning.

Graham:

Come on, let me I'm just a little hanging fruit, bro. Come on.

Scott:

Just saying.

Graham:

No, and and and rightfully so. I want to know where the Dodger fans go that left the game.

Scott:

Like, dude. Like, I'm looking at the show. I mentioned that to you, right? And I'm like, TP mentioned it to me. I mentioned it to you, and there was like maybe 13th inning. Behind home plate was empty. Not empty, but it wasn't full.

Graham:

They brought people in.

Scott:

But then, yeah, after the you know, 15, 16th inning, you could tell they allowed dudes to come down behind home plate.

Graham:

Yeah. Well, they can't have no one here.

Scott:

You know who was there from date from from the first pitch?

Graham:

Yeah, the guy in the orange shirt. The Mark.

Scott:

I met my boy. Let's go. I was surprised not to see him. Let's go. Oh. Is he not there tonight? No.

Graham:

If he was, he didn't wear the jersey. He wasn't behind. I was watching earlier. I yeah. He's there. Craziness. Dude, from the start of the game, Otani. I mean, it got to a point that I was even surprised because you made the comment before today's game started. You're like, lock of the day, under under, was it 0.5 hits for Otani?

Scott:

0.5 hits.

Graham:

I couldn't even bet it. Benji Benji, MGM locked it out.

Scott:

Dude. So after last night, after the after the home running hit to tie the game, and I texted you instantly, why are they throwing this dude a fastball? Well, that was the last time he got a chance to hit a ball, because I'm pretty sure he was on base nine times.

Graham:

The craziest part was when he went to the batter's box, the the their coach came out. They all went to the mound. They had a meeting. The coach is like, hey bro, don't throw this pitch. Yeah. He's looking for this. And then what happens? Literally, the first pitch. Bum-bug!

Scott:

Yeah. Like, and guess who caught it?

Graham:

Your boy.

Scott:

My boy Garrick posts something on Instagram today. Here's the ball that Otani hit last night to tie the game. I'm like, this guy, I mean, Jerry bet tonight under under 0.5 hits. 100 to win 115. Does he have a hit tonight? Nope.

Graham:

And they're pitching to him, too. Ain't scurred. Struck him out.

Scott:

Yeah. But right now we're in the top ninth. No outs, man on first. Dodgers are losing six to one. Oh, Freddie Freeman just bowled a ground ball at first. One out, man on second. But dude. Amazing series. Amazing series. Ain't mad at it.

Annouuncer:

Yes.

Scott:

But last night, I mean, remember the the Seattle game? Was Seattle playing the Blue Jays?

Graham:

Yeah. Yeah. Game seven that went to the fifth 15 innings?

Scott:

Yeah.

Graham:

Yeah.

Scott:

Insane. And I mean, and the crazy thing I saw today, strange but true, there have been two World Series games ever to go 18 innings. And my boy Brad Paisley sang the national anthem at both of them. That's 2008, 2018, 2018 game three. Dodgers beat the Red Sox in 18. And then again last night. Insane. Insane. I insane.

Graham:

Also, what's crazy in the World Series with the seven games, they do it a little different, not realizing. So they got the two in Toronto, then there's three here in LA, and then they're back to Toronto for the final two. We got another, we have three straight days of baseball. Yesterday, today, and then game my math is great. Yeah, game five tomorrow.

Scott:

I love it.

Graham:

No, it's nice. Dodgers gotta win tomorrow for sure.

Scott:

It's Friday, game seven Saturday.

Graham:

Like it would be Yeah. I mean, if the Dodgers were down 3-2 going back to Toronto, I don't think they I don't know.

Scott:

It's gonna be tied going back to Toronto. How is it gonna be it's gonna be tied going back to Toronto? Uh oh, it can't be.

Graham:

It can't be. That's why I'm like, what are you talking about? It's gonna be tied after today.

Scott:

Can't be. Yeah. So don't worry, God is winning this thing.

Graham:

So everyone is giving Otani his flowers. Deserved. I get it. I get it, I get it, I get it. My question is especially in the playoffs in the World Series, who's more clutch than Freddie Freeman?

Scott:

Recently, not many people, dude. And just to think about this, I was thinking about it today on the way to work. Uh hey Braves, remember that guy that you lit walk?

Graham:

Yeah. So, okay, another question. Does he go down and or does he go into the Hall of Fame as a Dodger?

Scott:

Freeman? Yeah. 100%. Born and raised Southern California guy. 100%. Won the World Series with the Dodgers.

Graham:

Didn't he win the World Series?

Scott:

Did he win it with the Braves? He did, yeah. I think he might have won it with the Braves. Yeah, he did. That's right.

Graham:

Yeah.

Scott:

Tough question. Good question. Right? But I I think Dodgers. Oh. I think Dodgers.

Graham:

I yeah, dude. There's a handful of Dodgers, like I mean, soon to be former Dodgers that could literally do no wrong, whatever they wanted. Him, Clit Kershaw, like, oh, you need some. How about my dad was even saying it? How about did you even realize Sandy Colfax was still alive? Was he like 90?

Scott:

What do you say? It's breaking up.

Graham:

Oh, Sandy Colfax. Breaking up.

Scott:

I didn't even hear what you said. You're like freezing.

Graham:

No, I got you. Did you see? I couldn't believe the dude was still alive. Sandy Colfax has been at all of the Dodger games here. I didn't even know he was still alive. Yeah. Dude. Was he like 90? Jesus.

Scott:

Thousand.

Graham:

Yeah, it pissed for the Dodgers in the 60s. I'm like, I'm doing the math. I'm like, wait a minute. I was like Carry the one, two, like what? Yeah. Unbelievable. Wow. I mean, just clock.

Scott:

Not only was he in not only was he in attendance, did you see my boy Herbie and his girl?

Graham:

Oh my lord, dude. You're Herbie would rather just stay at home, not do anything, dude. Watch tape, but no, he has to get his social media girlfriend out there and blah, blah, blah.

Scott:

Dude, my boy Herbert gets a girlfriend and he's all over the place. He's at the Laker game. Now he's at the Doyer game. All I gotta say is, dude, Callaway better be paying him a shit ton of money for that hat my guy's been wearing.

Graham:

I'm gonna bet you zero. I guarantee you they paid for shit.

Scott:

Those free golf clubs they're giving you? No, you better be getting paid something more than those free golf clubs, bro. Dude. And then did you see Justin Bieber come sit right beside him?

Annouuncer:

No.

Scott:

That was hilarious.

Annouuncer:

Oh, I missed that.

Scott:

Oh, dude. Justin Bieber and his. Is he is Justin Bieber married? Yes. I don't know. Dude, Bieber comes walking down and is like daps up Herbert, and he's literally sitting beside him and beer. Yeah. It was hilarious.

Annouuncer:

But must be nice. I don't know. Right?

Scott:

You're in LA, bro. I mean, Mookie Betts, can you do something with your life, man? I mean, God bless whatever. Uh let's jump in. I mean, we gotta something we haven't even talked about. It's not even in the notes. Uh happened Thursday. Uh a lot of shit came out about the NBA and gambling and poker. And oh man. I don't even know where to start. I don't even know where to end. All I know is wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. And it affected the Ravens with Lamar. Yeah.

Graham:

That's dude.

Scott:

That's what's crazy.

Graham:

That whole situation, it affected me in the sense I'm looking at the line, I'm like, all right, at the start of it, he wasn't playing. And then, like, what was it by like Tuesday, the betting line changed to now the Ravens are minus.

Scott:

He was playing to begin with.

Graham:

Oh, yeah. Well, that was playing to begin with. I'm aware of that, but I thought the line started at two and then went to seven and then went back to two. I couldn't remember if I saw it at the time. I'm just like, uh. And hey, they didn't need it. Like, that's the worst. That's the funniest part about it, but still.

Scott:

The crazy thing is, it was weird how all of a sudden, you know, Thursday morning, like I told you, um, you were still sleeping, and all this shit starts popping up on social media. And I'm not saying that to throw shade at you, I'm just saying it to say it. I you don't know what to believe on social media anymore. Is it AI? Is it something else? And they're talking about Tauncy Bills. Then it's talking about the dude in Miami, and I'm like, is this shit real or is this shit fake? And then you get something from Fox and CNN, and you're like, oh shit, this ain't fake. This is real.

Graham:

Yeah, it must be real when this broke, and you of all people, Mr. I'm not bad.

Scott:

Get on the ground, get on the ground, get on the ground. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Oh, I just need one more run. One more. I got over seven and a half.

Graham:

You know, you not being an NBA guy, when this story broke, the excitement, well, I wouldn't say excitement, but the intrigue that I could hear in your voice as the story got broken. You're we're talking about it. I'm like, bro, you sound like you're more of a basketball fan than I am right now. You're like, oh, I'm looking at this, I'm looking at that, and I'm just like, wait, what? Wow.

Scott:

It's I'm looking at it as a sports fan.

Graham:

Of course.

Scott:

I'm looking at it at as somebody that bet. I'm looking at it as a podcaster like you, that we've been talking about this shit forever and how gambling affects everything. And then to hear this poker thing where dudes X-ray glasses and X-ray tables and this and that, and my boy Antonio Gates is at at poker games, and yeah, dude, it's just the beginning. And then you start seeing highlights of what's the guy's name in Miami?

Annouuncer:

Rozier.

Scott:

Yeah. Of games where he's throwing away passes, and you're like, what the shit?

Graham:

What um what's that saying where the old saying where it's just like once you take it out of the bag, you can't put it back in? And that's where all sports are with gambling. You know, especially the NFL. How they're like, hey, we know that it exists, we know we're not a part of it, and then for so long, for so long, for so long. And to be honest, I I mean, this is my personal opinion. Do you think the I don't want to say the advanced, but the popularity of fantasy sports and how that integrated with the different leagues, and how like that's not considered betting, but like there is money involved, and then DFS, how that kind of just like lightened the I don't want to say this. Um it just it gave betting a chance to be I won't say be legal, but get into the business of or to get in the partnerships with the leagues, you know what I mean? Because it's just like this is the number one thing that leagues were concerned about. The number one thing. You got your run?

Scott:

I got my run.

Graham:

All right, dude.

Scott:

Not only that, think about this. Why are prop bets not offered on college athletics? Uh because they're college athletes, and somebody like me or you could literally be living across the hall from quarterback A at LSU and watched Homeboy walking around all week in a walking boot.

Graham:

Yeah. I I mean, so much could happen.

Scott:

That's a reason.

Graham:

With everything that's going to happen.

Scott:

Also, they could put Homeboy in a walking boot just uh mess with you. Put him in a walking boot.

Annouuncer:

Yeah.

Scott:

Yeah.

Graham:

That plus effect, you know, something that I heard, and it makes legitimate sense, especially if you think about it from the betting site side of it. It's like, yo, wouldn't you assume this is suspicious when player props on a given night? Unless you're like Otani or like these major guys, player props on a platform is only gonna go up to what a hundred thousand, maybe a million dollars out of all the people that are betting individual props for some people, and especially like who's betting on Terry Rogier anyway, like a handful of people. All right, maybe a couple thousand a year there.

Scott:

Uh I'll tell you right now, I'll tell you right now, a lot of people because FanDuel is the ones that turned that in.

Graham:

Well, no, my point in saying that is they can see the back end, and what I mean by that is there's normal bet frequencies when things change.

Scott:

Somebody got hurt really, really, really bad in the JMU Texas State game because every player for both squads is out on the field on their knee.

Annouuncer:

Oh shit. That's not good.

Scott:

I don't know. Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt.

Graham:

No, you're good.

Scott:

Like you see in it? No.

Graham:

I'm just surprised that look, the people making the bets, it's not something that they would thinking about think about, or if they did, because it's like, oh, let's you know get the money while we can because we don't know how long we can do this. If the normal bet on a player is anywhere between 10, 50, 100, or even a thousand dollars, okay, fine. But if you got these random people that normally don't bet a lot of money, and all of a sudden they're putting 10, 20, 50,000 on prop bets that are normally never a thing, that's gonna be suspicious. Like, if you do suspicious things, there's a red flag. Red flags get looked at. Like, so it you do fucked up things, things are gonna get looked at. It's just like am I surprised this happened? No. Am I surprised that it took this long? No. It's just really the question is what's the fallout? What's really gonna happen? I mean, is Chauncey Billups? I mean, even with him, how he's in this, they I've saw clips where he's taken players out of the game, like his top two players out with like four minutes left in the game, and they needed them. Like, look, I understand there's sometimes that you need to give your players rest, but you're only giving them like 30 seconds, you're not taking them out for the rest of the game. I mean, unless they're hurt, like there's just I it why what it really comes down to is an individual person's they need to stop. How do I say this? I'm trying to be as eloquent about this as possible. Um the saying every person has to look out for themselves is true. But when people have or when people do well for themselves, they want to help out their friends. Okay, that's cool. But the larger friend group that you have, like you can't help everybody. You think you're doing your friend a solid being like, oh, hey, I'm gonna throw you a little like I won't give you my money, you know. I won't you, I won't let you mooch off me, but I'll do something that could possibly help you so you can make some extra money. Like, why would you even want to put yourself in that type of a situation? Especially when you make so much money. Why are you friends with people that would put you in a situation that could screw you? Like that really what it comes down to. I don't care if you've been my homie for 50 years. If you ask me to do something that, yeah, it could work once or maybe twice, yeah. That's fine, but like I'm not even fine. There's no way I'm putting my life on the line for you just to make you a couple of bucks.

Scott:

What's was Homeboy's name that got in trouble in the NBA with the gun Memphis player?

Graham:

Oh uh, yeah, it was uh um I almost said SG, it's not SCGA, it's uh SCG. Um yeah, he plays for Memphis, and I'm looking right at the guy. I'm wow, this is terrible.

Scott:

Um can't think of his name.

Graham:

I know. Keep talking, it's coming to me.

Scott:

Uh once uh once again, if you're his boy and you're in the car and he pulls out the gun to record that video, you as his longtime friend, you punch him in the face and you say, dipshit, are you kidding me?

Graham:

Oh, for sure.

Scott:

Don't do this to it's it it's back and forth. I mean, it goes back to Michael Vick with his boys and the dog fighting.

Graham:

John Morant.

Scott:

There you go.

Graham:

Why it took me so long. I was like, wait, what was his name?

Scott:

What's the receiver's name from the in from the Browns? Josh Gordon. That's Josh Gordon's boy?

Graham:

That's even worse.

Scott:

Well, not at the time. No, but I'm just saying, like don't smoke weed, and you're one of the top five best wide receivers in the game.

Graham:

Yeah, no, I get it. And now it's like, oh, you smoke weed, okay, no problem. Like, it just amazes me that in the hypocrisy of things like it can go from one year, you're going to jail, the next year, oh, it's a good one. Well, it's the time, dude. No, I I I get it. I get it.

Scott:

I'm just saying it's the time. Yeah.

Graham:

But I get it.

Scott:

But anyhow, uh, we haven't even gotten into NFL. It's uh it's the tip of the iceberg. It's the tip of the iceberg. We're gonna see a lot of other shit. Before we even jump into the NFL, something I gotta say. I sent it to you last night. Uh favorites in the NFL this week go 11-2 against the spread, 84.6%. The best winning percentage for favorites in a single week since December of 85. All 11 favorites covered by seven plus points, most in a single week in the last 30 years. And the two points that lost as favorites? Uh pretty sure they killed us in Survivor. Appreciate it, Bengals and Falcons.

Graham:

Uh, us and the thousands of other people.

Scott:

Dude, it's yeah, but Graham, I don't give two shits about the thousands of people. All I care about is me and you.

Graham:

I'm aware. I'm aware. And the worst part about it was the week leading up to it.

Scott:

The Jets had 500 yards of offense. That's the worst part about it. The Jets. Without Garrett Wilson. I and Sauce. 500 yards of offense. I he's defense. That's my point.

Graham:

But we said during that week, we get it. Survivor. Saving teams for later. Yeah, there's strategy to that, but it don't matter if you don't make it to the next week. It doesn't matter. I agree with that. Look, this year is the first year I've made it as far as I have in Survivor. That you in especially in leagues that you can't rebuy. Like, this is the far as I've made it. Like I'm gonna, I'm not gonna lie. I have not felt as confident about a season for Survivor as I have this season. There's three choices to make, or the three most popular choices the Colts, the Bengals, and the Falcons. And as you said with the betting, only the winless Jets on the road went into the game.

Scott:

That we've always talked about.

Graham:

Yeah. Look, I said I thought they were gonna be a decent team at the start of the season. I thought they were gonna win over seven games. Or no, I I bet them over for the season, which I think was five and a half. What they've displayed, especially after week one when they play the Steelers and could have won that game, I get it. I I just it and how the season has gone, I'm just like, what is going on? Like, really? Come on, and then look, what's happened with Miami? Playing terrible, playing terrible. Like it, I hate saying this, but it's just like, yeah, of course, there's a reason why you say any given Sunday. I get that, but it's just like, how can you look so bad? And everyone is talking shit on you, and then all of a sudden you're just like, alright, guys, we need a man up and figure it the bleep out. And on another note, just like as one of my good homies back in California, I'm not that I'm a fan of them, but the Falcons, they're done to me. This is three weeks in a row now. I bet against you, you F me. I bet for you, you F me. I bet for you again. Against the second worst team in the league, third worst team in the league. You're dead to me.

Scott:

But when the news comes out, the news comes out, Pennox it and playing, Kirk Cousins is starting. Then Sunday morning, London hadn't playing.

Graham:

And who was not up? I I still wouldn't, I didn't like I wouldn't have changed. Like, that's a well, I mean, I still took the bangles on both, but so that's not even the point. I had I I probably I still wouldn't have I couldn't have changed my other bets anyway because I had them in teasers and you can't cash out of a tease. Like all all my bets, dude. All of my bets that I had this past weekend had some part of Bangles either money line minus one or their normal number, which was minus six and a half. Every bet. And if they would have won, I would have won half my bets. I'm not even mad. That's the part I'm not even mad about. The bets are it is what it is. Like, yeah, I'm not happy about it, but it's the whole survivor. Like, I would have in our Andy, and he's like, oh well, at least, you know, at least we're uh your Jets got a W, so now you have a better chance of getting that $100 off me against the States. I'm like, dude, I don't give a bleep. I'd rather pay you the $100. I would rather have the Jets lost that game and the Bangos still have a chance so I could still be in the survivor pool. Because, dude, in the main one that you and I were in, it went it started at 211 people or whatever it was. At the start of the week, there was only 50 left. Those two teams that lost. No, 40. Yeah, you're right. Sorry, 40. 40. The two teams that lost, two of the favorites, lost 16 people. Just in those two games. Like, oh like just and thinking about it, every team in the AFC North lost. Yeah, that helps Pittsburgh, I guess.

Scott:

I just Ravens won. I'll slap myself. No, that's fine.

Graham:

I don't even know, because I was saying to myself earlier that I'm like, wait a minute, that's alright. I just I I I can't.

Scott:

I you know it was it was weird. I mean, I mean, the games in Survivor League said have killed everybody. Rams losing, Cardinals losing, and now the Bengals losing. And we'll go ahead and throw it out there.

Graham:

Uh how about the Packers tying on Sunday night? Well, I lost my pick in that. Which this was, mind you.

Scott:

That was to the Cowboys, right?

Graham:

Yeah. The Cowboys. Yeah. They tied. Lost money on that, too. Yeah. Like, I I just how how do you pick these games? Like, how like how do you not pick favorites? Like I get it.

Scott:

You know, like we always say in Survivor, you gotta, we're trying to save teams for later. But remember, we always say you can't make it to the next week unless you win. I get that. The big the Bengals at home against the Jets?

Graham:

Oh and six.

Scott:

After beating the Steelers.

Graham:

Yeah.

Scott:

After beating the Steelers on Thursday night.

Graham:

Ten days rest.

Scott:

You're thinking, yeah, you're uh well, yeah. After the owner calls out Justin Fields?

Graham:

Yeah. Dude, I saw a story. Did you I don't know if you heard this? I see, this is this one of those stories that I heard. I'm like, please don't be fake if this is true. But did Fields say at the podium or in an interview somewhere that basically when he heard after he heard the comments of what the Rudy Johnson said, that basically he felt so bad that he was like at home crying about it. Not crying, but basically being like, I like I suck, I need to do better, like I need to, you know, this, this, and this. Like, I heard the story and I was like, wait, I think he said he was like crying in his closet or something. I was like, what?

Scott:

I didn't hear that. Not saying it ain't true, but yeah, I didn't hear it.

Graham:

For one, if that did happen, why would you I mean hey, I'm all about you know, men being vulnerable and opening up and show showing themselves like that's great, good for you, but like you're gonna say that in the in the New York market? Like, yeah, there's just some things like, hey bro, you gotta keep that you gotta keep that close to the chest. Like you ain't telling nobody that, but still, hey, if that's something that helps his confidence and you know they move it in the right direction, I it's just uh I I yeah, dude.

Scott:

Let's just jump right into it.

Graham:

Yeah, let's go.

Scott:

After all the action on Sunday, we've been waiting all day for Sunday night. Thanks, Carrie Underwood. Uh Steelers Packers in Pittsburgh. Aaron Rodgers, first opportunity to beat the only team he hasn't beaten in the NFL on Sunday night football. And came out first half looking dominant, dude. Minus the missed 37 tackles against Tucker Kraft on that first touchdown. But the Packers missed two field goals. Feeling good at halftime. And then the end.

Graham:

That's how I'm starting the segment. Um I was happyslash confident in the first half.

Scott:

It should have been.

Graham:

Look, we weren't like slanging it all over the yard. We were being calculated. We were being, you know, plotted here a little bit there. Alright, we did what we needed to do. We weren't making mistakes. Things were looking good. Alright, that's fine. Then the second half. I the defense was holding their own for the most part.

Scott:

Y'all were up, y'all were up 15, 15 to 7 in halftime. Yeah.

Graham:

Yeah. We the defense would get them into third downs, third and longs, and it's just like, dude, they had these back breaking plays where it's like, oh, we're gonna sack them for 10 yards behind the line, and then love is just gonna throw off his back foot this Hail Mary to craft 50 yards down the field, who just somehow slipped in between three defenders in the perfect spot to catch the ball. Um, our tackling was atrocious. We lost Deshaun Elliott, got hurt, he's done for the year. Our our stud safety. Uh, we look we touted ourselves as the one of our better defenses that Pittsburgh's had in a very long time. We are the most expensive defense, you know, of any football team ever. And look, it's at the start of the season, I get why we why Pittsburgh did what they did. I get it. And look, we can go back on the episodes. I said you gotta pay him. You gotta pay TJ. What he's done for the organization, what he could still do, he's uh not that he's undervalued, but like what he's done, he deserves the money. Okay, that's fine. After week eight, how like how does the coaching staff, you know, the coaching staff is just like, well, we're telling them what to do and how to fix the problems, they're just not doing it. Like, what does that mean? Like, you keep saying you can move TJ around, but you don't move them around. We can't really stop the run. We can't tight ends have been killing us all year. Yeah, we brought in Ramsay.

Scott:

Like, what when y'all lost to the when y'all lost to the Bengals, hey, remember that guy, Jamar Chase? Yeah, let anybody on the Bengals beat you but him.

Graham:

Yeah. But here's the thing as the game was going on against the Packers, what did I tell you? Pittsburgh's number one goal was what? Stop the run. Homeboy, even though he did eventually get into the end zone, he had less than 60 yards on us. And he got that touchdown late. So, from that aspect, I guess we should be happy. But okay, you stop the run. Their wide receivers really didn't do anything except Dobbs had the two plays, two or three catches, one of which just happened to be the significant third down catch. Congratulations. But it's just like you stop the run, but then you let Kraft just almost have a career day. I I just I don't and the thing is, you know what our schedule is coming up. Are you kidding me right now? Like, we're I thought with our schedule, even if if you back us up where I thought we'd be two weeks ago when I was had more hype for us, I'm still saying 10 wins is gonna be tough. Like, we still gotta play Baltimore. I mean, they'll have Lamar back twice. We still gotta play the other two division teams again. We still gotta play the Lions, we still gotta, and this is at the Lions, we still gotta play at Chicago, we still have to play Kansas City, we still not can't see, I'm sorry, the Buffalo, you guys.

Scott:

You got the Colts next week, Chargers the following week, Bengals, Bears, Bills, Ravens, Dolphins, Lions, Browns, Ravens.

Graham:

As of right now, I only hear two wins right there. We were four and one. We went four and one and we'll finish six and eleven. That wasn't a mic drop. I just don't have anything to say. Like, what what how do you you know all the people that I listen to, the sports writers in Pittsburgh, you know, the sports talk guys, is just like blow it up, blow it up, and I'm like, what are they gonna do now? Like, what are they gonna do now? At this time, two crazy things that I heard. One, you know there's a rule in the NFL that you can't you have to wait I think it's two years. I it's either two or one, but you have to wait at least a year, I think two years, that if you trade a player to a team, you have to wait that long to get them back. So we couldn't, even if we made a made a package, we couldn't even trade to get Minka back, Minka Fitzpatrick.

Scott:

Nope.

Graham:

If they want, which I'm sure they would have wanted to, but which is why they signed they got the guy from New England today that they signed, but still like I'm like, what and for what TJ is being paid? Is someone God forbid, I I don't think it would happen, but what what could you get for TJ at the trade deadline?

Scott:

Nobody's gonna take on that salary.

Graham:

People didn't want to take on Micah's salary, people want to take on Crosby's salary. Like, there's three players that are gener like that are the upper echelon guys, right? TJ, Garrett, Crosby, and Parsons. Which is hilarious. Also, speaking of Garrett, who had five sacks against the Patriots, had unbelievable. Like, stud. But then when he goes on the mic and it's just like, yeah, I still traded in, I traded in my performance to get a dub. I'm like, dude, you can't say that anymore. You had a chance to leave.

Scott:

Nobody with five sacks in a game has ever lost a game by more than three points.

Graham:

Right. Like, you can't threaten leaving and then have a club back up the Brinks truck, pay you, and then you say that. Like, you sold out. Like, yeah, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Like, that's just all that it is. So I'm dude, as a Steeler fan right now, I'm at a loss for words. I'm not happy. I don't know how to feel about the rest of the season. You know, you're trying to convince me not to bet the house on the Colts next week, who's like, oh, this could be a trap game. I I just don't see it happening. Dude, the way the Colts are playing right now, dude, Jonathan Taylor's gonna go for a buck fifty on us. I I just they're only three points, bro. Are you kidding me? Take all my money. Go ahead, please.

Scott:

Speaking of crazy, uh New England's sitting there at number two in the AFC at six and two. I need three wins for that win. Over eight and a half that you laughed at me about. I'm not I'm not trying to blast you. I'm just saying, dude.

Graham:

I thought they could do it. I wasn't as confident. Let me just say this. I was more confident in the Jets over five and a half than I was the Patriots over eight and a half. I'll say that. And look where we are now.

Scott:

Dude, and uh Yeah. Alright, real quick. Didn't even talk to you about it before the show. Uh uh. You got the Colts at the one seed in the AFC 7-1. New England, the two seed, six and two, Broncos three seed, six and two, Steelers four seed, four and three, Bills five and two, chargers five and three, Chiefs five and three. Who are your power rankings one and two in the AFC?

Graham:

Uh Colts one, Chiefs two. I don't disagree at all. But they got their pieces.

Scott:

Unfortunately. I don't know. But unfortunately, I gotta say this. The team that I hate more than any team in the NFL. The Broncos are two last second field goals away from being 8-0.

Graham:

Yeah, but they're also one or two ridiculous situations happening from losing games, too. It can go both ways. I mean, I get what you're saying, but if you don't look at record. Yeah, if you watch the game, you can't tell me right now that the Broncos look better on paper right now than the than the Chiefs. You can't tell me that.

Scott:

Their defense does. Yeah, defense travels.

Graham:

Yeah, it does, but it doesn't win games. I mean, it does, but not the biggest games. I mean, if a gun was pointed to my head and I had to choose, I'm taking Kansas City.

Scott:

NFC.

Graham:

See, this is tough.

Scott:

Yeah, I agree. NFC power rankings. NFC, who's your one and two? Packers are five and one, five, one and one, Eagles six and two, Tampa six and two, Seattle five and two, Detroit five and two, Rams five and two.

Annouuncer:

Uh wow.

Graham:

Um it's tough. I'm gonna go. It's it's for me, it's three teams. It's so because they're just so close. Detroit, Philly, and the Rams. And mind you, they don't even have like Puka. When Puka comes back, I I just look, I like Tampa. The problem is they're banged up at wide receiver. You know, they're not getting Mike Evans back, he's more or less done.

Scott:

And and running back.

Graham:

Yeah, like they and Bucky. That's what I'm saying. So uh who knows what's gonna happen with that. The Eagles have looked good, but then there's times where it's just like they let teams hang around. It's you know, they just decide, okay, this time or this week it's gonna be the the wide receivers that are gonna go off. I I mean Saquon has really only had what two good games? Like he finally broke 100 and whatever yards last week against the Giants.

Scott:

I mean it's just and then he had a hammy issue at the end of the game.

Graham:

That's what I'm saying. It's just it's all how teams want to play you, I guess. So yeah, I'd say Detroit and and Philly, because it's just like Philly can beat you in so many different ways. Um so I'd go that way. What about you?

Scott:

NFC, it's tough, man. I mean, it's hard to go away from the Eagles. But you gotta give credit where credit's due. They don't do anything flashy, they don't do the sexy thing. The Packers, dude. I mean, they run the ball well, they have a great tight end, they don't have any sexy names at wide receiver, but they spread it around. I just you know what I mean?

Graham:

I mean they don't they don't have that no, but we were all over them at the beginning, rightfully so. Then they cooled off. You know, a team that's kind of been hot took us, took all of us by shock. Uh dude, if you catch Seattle at the right time when they're playing well, that's I mean, that defense, how they like to play the ball, JSN, like Darnold, what?

Scott:

I and the defensive head coach, dude. I mean, they're flying. Agreed. They're flying. But I don't know. We're about to start week nine. We got the Ravens and the Dolphins, right? Thursday night. Yeah.

Annouuncer:

Who do you like?

Scott:

I think the game is in Miami. I think it's in Miami. I think. Um, yeah, it's in Miami. I don't know. Ravens are favored by seven and a half.

Graham:

Uh traditionally, I would say absolutely, but right now, who knows? I don't know.

Scott:

I don't know. I just yeah, I mean, just like you, dude, you're oh, I'm betting the Colts. Nope. I blew it last week. I guarantee the Steelers win. I'm not going there this week. I'm guaranteeing a Broncos win on the road on the road in Houston. How in the hell are the Broncos underdogs?

Graham:

Uh well.

Scott:

Patrick Sertan or no Patrick Sertan, like Smokey said on the movie Friday, I don't give a fuck.

Graham:

Yeah, but didn't Wanstradamus say last week that the Niners are going to take care of business? I did, but I'm just, I mean, just say it. Just say it.

Scott:

I mean, the Broncos pass rush against the offensive line of the Texans.

Graham:

I get it. It's the right play. I I mean, I'm definitely looking that way.

Scott:

I just I the other right play, dude. Seahawks on the road. Sorry, Audrey. Sunday night, Sunday night football. My bad, BB. Seahawks minus two and a half.

Graham:

Lock it. I I thought Mariota was gonna play better. I really did. I mean, he didn't play bad.

Scott:

I just if Debo didn't take that pass off the helmet on the first drive. Oh, 100%. 100%. They were cruising. Yeah. They were cruising down the field. Yeah. Kingsbury, what a what an amazing script for the opening drive.

Graham:

Yeah. Yeah, and then like forgot about him the second half when I needed him. Thanks. Yeah. But I don't know.

Scott:

Yeah. He's so not positive right now. Week eight's in the boat. Hey, I'm positive. I mean, I'm positive the Titans are gonna beat the Chargers. Mike McCoy, classic. We just beat the Vikings, backs up against the wall on Thursday night, boat race him. Mike McCoy's the interim head coach for the Titans going up against the team that shit canned him and his stupid visor. Chargers, nine and a half point favorites. If you want to tease something, take the Titans plus nine and a half in the tease.

Graham:

You heard it here first.

Scott:

But Derwin's back, baby. Let's go. On a side note, did you see you probably didn't see it? Dude, hilarious. Dude, you know how Tartars do the little mic'ed up thing. Denzel Perryman was mic'd up, our middle linebacker. At the end of the game when we iced it, you know the little kid that throws it, takes his shirt off, and of course I know the kid.

Graham:

I'm the one that tells you about him. What's the kid?

Scott:

No, I see him on Instagram and social media. Well, some dude in the crowd takes his prosthetic leg off and starts waving it in the crowd. And Perryman's like, Oh my god, did you see Homeboy? He just took his leg off. Dude, the entire team. Oh, I showed Kellen earlier dead, dying.

Graham:

Oh my god.

Scott:

It was it was awesome. It was awesome. Wow. It was awesome. Yeah. Anyhow, Graham, get us out of here. Uh, it's been a crazy sports. You know, they called yesterday the sports equinox. Today was the frozen frenzy today. Every hockey team played today.

Graham:

Yeah.

Scott:

Uh, and something crazy going on in Pittsburgh, bro. Did you see Homeboy from NBC fell at Heinz Field? What? From the Rafters Sunday night or Saturday night when he was setting up shit for NBC.

Graham:

No.

Scott:

Dude, and then last night at the Penguins game, a hockey fan fell from the Rafters at the Penguins game.

Annouuncer:

Jesus.

Scott:

Dude. Be safe.

Graham:

Careful out there, guys. Be safe. Scott. What a crazy week. I just uh I'm just glad it's about to be next week. Go Dodgers. Let's go, Chargers, let's go, Steelers. Have a great week. And as the best homie always says, Bye-bye.

Scott:

Go Blue Jays. Go Chargers. Go Steelers. Go Knights. And as we always say, good night, friends. I love you all. Herbert, I love that you're out and about in the community. Show everybody who you are sitting in that suite. And Matt Stafford sitting in the stands like the everyday person. Madison Beer. You motorboating son of a bitch.

Graham:

Good night.
