the Warriors learn some of that split action that they run offensively and bring it to your own team folks the name is Kenny ainson every time there is a job with a young core that needs to take the next step I always think of Penny activ only on Sports grid the numbers might look crazy especially depending on where you think Jared go falls in the National Football League I would consider him maybe as crazy as this sounds a top 10 quarterback and again the theory behind paying your quarterbacks and your top rated players pay them earlier the longer you wait it only cost you money if you have a Top Flight wide receiver ping here the early line only on Sports grid the Bostonian versus the book that was Aaron Rogers thing took a quarterback in the first round yeah it’s a luxury pick we don’t have the luxury we’re trying to win right now I I I I’m in a window right now and you’re going to say no we’re going to plan this for the future with a guy who had four years Four Seasons ended by injury four like Michael penx is a walking injury like what are you doing taking him in the top 10 the Bostonian versus the book using the parlays against one another right and being able to get a little bit of juice consig I found to be a little interesting believe me all the rhombuses and parallelograms are constantly trying to search and find out those things every day it’s one of the battles that you you know as you expand the menu you encounter new battles game time decisions only on Sports grid [Music] [Music] [Music] good morning welcome to newswire here on Sports grid I’m Craig Mish and boy we have plenty to deliver to you here on the show today it’s been a very busy morning for us as we’ve got a ton of news to deliver some breaking news as well we’ll cover everything that we normally do here on the show Jacob kamiko will be with us from Sporting News we’ll break down everything happening of course in sports we’ll get a little bit into the National Basketball Association with the finals coming up on Thursday Jim gazali’s with us from legal sports report and then Brady Canon previews the upcoming PGA Tour event this weekend uh but we’ve got some news to start off with here on the show that just broke from Major League Baseball a short time ago so we’re going to begin there and it involves sports betting and some very serious penalties handed out by Major League Baseball today for players who bet uh not only just on the sport but other sports as well the predominant name on this list is Tuk capita marcoo he’s a player in the San Diego Padres organization that was previously with the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday it was revealed by The Wall Street Journal that he bet on baseball and would be suspended this morning Major League Baseball has a release out that says that he’s been banned for life because he bet on the Pirates while he was a member of their organization on the 40-man roster so naturally the story here is yet another player banned from his sport forever and the name here in this case is Marano now very specifically in the baseball investigation that just was revealed he replaced bets on 25 different games on the Pirates while he was injured on the team he also gambled over $150,000 it was revealed on these games and only won 4% of the bets so hopefully this is a lesson learned to other players in their sport this is not as easy as it would look but baseball is also released four additional names of players who bet but not on baseball just for gambling violations one is Michael Kelly of the A’s the other is former first round pick 12th pick overall Jay groom left-handed pitcher now of the Padre’s he’s also also been suspended one year Jose Rodriguez an infielder on the Phillies one year and Andrew srank who does have some major league baseball time with the Diamondbacks left-handed pitcher he’s also been suspended for one year so naturally uh baseball handing down some very serious penalties lifetime ban to any player who bets on baseball and then uh separately one year suspensions and one year away from the game without pay essentially what they call this is the restricted list players that were just betting and violated gambling violations from the league so that’s where we begin there now let’s begin to some of the action that happened last night Philadelphia Phillies have finally snapped the Milwaukee Brewers win streak they were a big favorite in the game they end up winning 3 to one it was the final score there but the bigger story is the Philadelphia Phillies placed Brandon Marsh on the injured list and looking for a replacement they ended up going to David dah who hasn’t pitched in the big leagues in or hasn’t played in the big leagues excuse me in over a year D hit his first hope run of the Season he drove in two runs and now seems to be part of that Philadelphia Philly’s at least platoon Outfield situation here is the call of his big hit and two that Ball’s drilled out toward right field is it high enough it is it’s gone David do welcome back to the big leagues he’s two for two and the Phillies lead it three nothing that ball left his Bat in a hurry man did he just annihilate that thing you were right though with the call didn’t know if it was going to be high enough but it was high enough and long enough so do now back with the Phillies you may remember him from his days with the Colorado Rockies will he make a big impact with his team while Marsh is out his manager Rob Thompson talked about the opportunity the the entire bottom of the order you know do um soet an RBI roas two hits in an RBI so it’s good to see but you know David David can hit and it’s credit to um you know going into the offseason last year we’re talking about depth we’re talking about pitching depth but also position players and the front office went out and got it um and you need it because there’s going to be injuries and they’re going to get banged up it’s a long year and and a credit to our Player Development system for keeping those guys sharp and getting them going and um yeah that was it was great to see um well to tell you the truth when it first started I was a little bit sped up um you know cuz it was especially the first day there was a lot of things going on and a lot of meetings and a press conference and you know trying to figure out my routine because it completely changed and um so now I’m into my routine so that’s that’s a little bit uh easier right now but um you know there’s still a lot of decisions to make and a lot of things to do on a daily basis so it’s uh a little bit different but A lot’s the same Rob Thompson of course of the Philadelphia Philly is one of the candidates for manager of the Year NBC Sports Philadelphia with the call there as far as the battle in the East between the Orioles and the Blue Jays give it to the Orioles last night seven to2 the final a slight favorite was Baltimore in this game and Toronto had won five out of six but the Orioles are just simply redh hot right now and refuse to lose the big hit in this game was from Austin Hayes he had a two-run home run at the top of the fourth inning here is the call from Masson the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network out to deep left field this is well struck and this ball is out of here Austin Hayes got all of that one it’s the Oriel second home run of the game it’s another two run shot and the O’s extend their lead further in his fourth Inn really good to see that from Austin Hayes there put a jolt into that one Austin made the most of a mistake and the Orioles go on to win that game Brandon highy talked about the pitching on the side of the Orioles with Grayson Rodriguez also Haz his home run yeah no doubt well let’s start with the pitching start with Grayson for me that’s his best start of the year um I think he was ahead of 27 hitters 22 times no walks into the seventh inning uh total total command that was his best command I’ve seen him happen and really it’s from the the third inning on last start third through the sixth last start carried into this start and was just absolutely fantastic and then hayy it’s great to see him after a tough start um play with his IM right now and plan to to compete to win and thinking some really really good swings and providing some offense for us how big can a game like just be for ha’s confidence well I think you saw it yesterday I mean I think he picked up where he left off the last couple days and uh great to see you know gosman’s a tough starter got a split hit it out and he hits an another homer so awesome to see let’s get to some other baseball news and notes Blake Snell the prize free agent of the San Francisco Giants is going back on the injured list this time with a groin strain he missed time with an abductor strain Jim Leland who was announced the Pirates are going to be retiring as number the tigers are doing the same thing is going into the Hall of Fame in July in college sports the Gators have advanced the NCAA Super Regional after beating Oklahoma State the final was 4 to2 in the game yesterday and also the gator women’s softball team ended Oklahoma’s 20-game NCAA Women’s streak so it is great to be a Florida Gator right now big news out of the French Open the champion from last year will not repeat this year as Novak jokovic is pulling out of Roland garos it was a incredible run for him there but he’s got a knee injury and it’s going to be in terms of his future sort of Uncertain as to how he proceeds but as of right now we’ll be out of the slam quarterfinals UFC 303 had its news conference cancelled it was supposed to be Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler taking place in Dublin later in the day that’s not going to happen we’ll see what that means if they end up fighting meanwhile CD lamb apparently not participating in Dallas Cowboys OTAs at the moment a new contract ension is what lamb is seeking and he saw Justin Jefferson get that yesterday and finally some sad news from the National Football League as Hall of Famer and offensive lineman Larry Allen passed away at the age of 52 years old very sad story there uh one other new uh real quick note here from the National Basketball Association when the NBA Finals open up on Thursday it does look like Chris daps porzingis will be able to play for the Boston Celtics as stadium is reported that he’s gone to full practice and should be back all right coming up next Jacob Kamer joins us from the sporting news we’ll talk about everything happening in the NFL including the new contract with Justin J [Music] 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 decision that you will feel night in and night out the excitement you get when you when you lock your bets and 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 then 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 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Eastern on Sports Grid it’s smarter to be on Sports grid your 247 Sports wagering Network the early line magical and historic season in Lincoln Nebraska continues he is the best player in the NBA but also in the biggest moments where the national media is watching newswire something that we have never seen happen before with one of the iconic coaches in the game farel Coast to Coast the team covers it’s automatic it’s every time not not times it’s every time game time decision is actually far more dangerous from three on the road this year than at home this game here tonight you may want to consider taking as many points as humanly possible ingame live prime time we got not one but two coaches fired systems in place Sports rage late night has down written all over it it’s going to be hard to match the emotion that they played with the other night it’s smarter to be on sport Sports [Music] [Music] grid welcome back to newswire here on Sports grid Jacob caker joins us from Sporting News got a lot to talk about today National Football League stealing a little bit of the headlines it’s kind of funny is that they’re always trying to steal the headlines Jacob this time it feels like it’s a blip it’s not like a huge story but Justin Jefferson uh is now the highest paid non-quarterback in the National Football League as he signed a new contract and you know naturally what happens is there’s the trickle down from that will Tyreek Hill get a new deal will cidi lamb get a new deal but I I think for us let’s focus here on Jefferson here for a minute I think what the Vikings have shown him Jacob is that it doesn’t matter who your quarterback is we still believe you’re the best wide receiver in the National Football League does that seem fair to you I think that’s fair 100% I think the other thing they’re saying is we know that we’re going to be transitioning you from a proven quarterback like Kurt Cousins who you know you may look at him and say oh he hasn’t had a lot of playoff success but he’s posted good stats and numbers during the regular season so they’re transitioning away from this proven guy towards JJ McCarthy and Sam darnold this season so I think they’re saying we know we’re gonna have JJ McCarthy on this rookie contract we know things might be rough for you for a bit but we’re committing to you now because we know like you said Craig he’s one of the best receivers in the NFL and possibly one of the most important non- quarterbacks in the NFL and they want to have top tier weapons for McCarthy and now they have them locked up with Jefferson and Jordan Addison both under contract so I think it was a smart move for them to get this done now and I think 35 million a year for Jefferson’s perspective is appropriate and for the Vikings perspective you look at it and you’re saying all right this is a four-year deal we’re going to keep him and he’ll still be in his prime he’ll still be around age 28 29 when he gets his new deal so I think that uh this is a a mutually beneficial deal especially when you look at the timing of the Vikings having a pretty cheap quarterback on board yeah I I would agree and the FanDuel has really not adjusted a lot of their lines whether it’s point spreads or season win totals or even some of the odds to win divisions based on contract extensions that really wouldn’t make a lot of sense but the one shift that we saw from the end of last year to now is this shift where as you just mentioned with Kirk Cousins leaving the Vikings are now at the bottom of the barrel as far as winning the division and no one will expect that they will Jacob they’re nine to one so it does seem to be a three- team Race at least for the most part it’s noteworthy I think that the Bears are only three to one to win I know you follow the Packers very closely and listen I know everyone is crowning the Lions I understand it they had a great year but you know how this works Jacob you come off a surprising great year you’re no longer the underdog you’re the favorite in a lot of these situations and sometimes that could work adversely have you looked at any of these odds yet have you had taken any positions on the division I have I think the NFC North might be the toughest division in football if you look at it from the perspective of the lions are returning a lot of their talent and they fixed one of their biggest issues which was at the cornerback position they spent their first two draft picks on uh tyon Arnold and Andis KRA or rraw I can never remember how to pronounce the last name there and uh they traded for Carlton Davis too so their biggest weaknesses short up and then I look at the Packers and I say man if Jordan love can play at the level he played at during the second half of the season in the playoffs he could be a legitimate Bonafide MVP candidate so I think that they’re going to push the Lions to win the division I think it’s going to come down to one game maybe a head-to-head between them and I think both teams make the playoffs the Bears I think are appropriately ranked here I think they have a lot of upside but I’m worried they might start the season slowly uh with the new quarterback and the new offensive coordinator I think there’s a lot of things they still have to iron out but they have a lot more Talent than they once did so I think those three teams are looking excellent to me um at least from a future perspective the lions look good right now the Packers look good right now I think in 2025 the Bears could be a legit Contender and the Vikings yeah they’re the bottom of the barrel right now but if JJ he pans out that offense led by Kevin oconnell is going to be really good yeah it could be and again the quarterback as all way is going to have a lot to do with the success or failure with any team in the NFL Vikings no different so it has been wide receiver signings in the off season that’s really made the headlines Aman rossin Brown got it all started off with the huge contract that he got for $120 million but as you look at it everyone has basically been paid that we expected AJ Brown Jaylen Wadd Devonte Smith Nico Collins last week Michael Pitman Jerry Judy I don’t understand that Jerry Judy one by the way that that one’s a little perplexing uh but anyway the one that doesn’t fit is him for me Mike Evans also signed a contract extension so naturally we get this report Jacob this morning that CD Lamb’s not going to be involved in OTAs you can’t blame him and I wouldn’t say that I mean I don’t know if CD Lamb’s mad or not but it just wouldn’t make sense for him to show up and and do anything without getting a new contract extension where do you think he falls in in between some of these new deals because I don’t think that he’s going to get Jefferson’s deal but then again I think he would get more than Nico Collins so do you think it’s somewhere in between I do I actually expect CD lamb might end up being the second highest paid receiver in the NFL uh it’s going to depend on the order that some of these receivers that you have on the screen now with Jamar Chase Brandon i t Higgins it might depend on when and or how much some of these guys sign but I think Lamb’s going to be in a situation where the Cowboys are going to say we don’t know if Dak Prescott’s going to be back next year because we have not extended him and they’re going to look at lamb and say we can lock down our number one receiver who’s very good very consistent kind of does everything we need to do and they’re going to look in that $32 million a year range that AJ Brown is getting and say he’s probably worth that maybe we’ll give him a little more just to make sure that we can get a deal done I don’t think he surpasses Jefferson but I do think he’ll surpass Brown and I think that’ll put him at number two overall though we’ll see if Jamar Chase can uh get close to Jefferson or even a comparable deal yeah I agree with you and I think that the most fascinating part of these wide receivers Jacob is that if all of them get paid all of them before the beginning of the season I think it sets a huge barometer for the future no one seems to be talking about this jacob that yes all these guys are great and they’re all getting paid but how about these college wide receivers right now they have to be licking their chops thinking my gosh what is our contracts going to look like in the future exactly especially when you look at a guy like Marvin Harrison Jr who could be the next stud receiver was a top four pick in the draft these guys coming out there are a lot of talented receivers we see deeper and deeper classes every year so does that mean they’re going to get a lot of money because they’re important for the quarterbacks or is it going to become oh we can get quality receivers in the draft and the price drops it’s going to be an interesting narrative to follow over the next handful of years okay well Jacob great to have you here on the show and great to chat with you we’ll see you next week here on Newar thanks for coming on all right good take care Craig all right Jacob Kamer of sporting news with us here on the show Sports grid sound offs coming up next boy is the WNBA made headlines in the last 24 hours we’ll have it night [Music] 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 decision that you will feel night in and night out the excitement you get when you when you lock your bets and when you’re figuring out what you want to do we can Zone in on

I’m Kevin Walsh tune in to game time decision from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Eastern on Sports Grid it’s smarter to be on Sports grid your 24/7 Sports wagering Network the early line magical and historic season in Lincoln Nebraska continues he is the best player in the NBA but also in the biggest moments where the national media is watching newswire something that we have never seen happen before with one of the iconic coaches in the game forel Coast to Coast the team covers it’s automatic it’s every time not not sometimes it’s every time game time decision is actually far more dangerous from three on the road this year than at home this game here tonight you may want to consider taking as many points as humanly possible ingame live prime time we got not one but two coaches fired systems in place Sports rage has let down written all over it it’s going to be hard to match the emotion that they played with the other night harder to be on Sports [Music] [Music] [Music] grid welcome back to newswire here on Sports Grid it’s time now for the sports grid SoundOff and wouldn’t you know the WNBA making all kinds of news over the last 24 hours if you watch Saturday’s game you may have seen something kind of peculiar is Angel Reese and Caitlyn Clark let’s be honest had a little bit of a dust up and Rees you know may or may not have gotten a little physical with Caitlyn Clark on Saturday may or may not have been doing something that people do not appreciate but could there be some jealousy in involved in all this I mean let’s get to it it’s time now for the sports grid sound off I think I would watching baset it all started from the national championship game I’ve been King years though and understanding like can’t negative things have probably been said about me but honestly I’ll take that because look for women’s basketball is people are talking about women’s basketball you never think talking about one is basketball people are pulling up to games we got sele C the gam sold out Arenas like just because of one single game and just looking at that like I’ll take that role I’ll take the B role and I’ll continue to take that it be that for for my teammates and if I want to be that and I know I’ll go down to history I’ll look back in 20 years and like yeah the reason why we watch everybody basketball it’s not just because one person it’s because of me too and I going trying to realize that like it’s not just because of one person a lot of us have done so much for this game and Kennedy has been here before obviously but there are something players in this leag that have deserved this for a really really long time and luckily it’s coming now yeah I think right now the question has to become between Caitlyn Clark the WNBA and all the players that play in it I mean are we just going to accept the fact that because of this start that Caitlyn Clark’s team has had is that the reason why a lot of this is generating such interest and why so many players are you know basically saying that they deserve some credit too I think it’s fair on all accounts I think the question that has to be asked if the Indiana Fever had gotten off to a great start and Caitlyn Clark didn’t have just like a handful of points the other day would we be having these different conversations stay tuned all right now as far as the very latest over on the pitch in terms of soccer Killian mbappe made a historic change over the last 24 hours he is joining one of the all-time most popular soccer franchises in history in Real Madrid our social media correspondent Christian deblock has the latest killing mbappe arguably the greatest player in the world is joining Real Madrid who just won the Champions League for the 15th time without him for those of you who watch the NBA this is very similar to when Kevin Durant joined the Golden State Warriors just a season after winning 73 games mbappe joins an attack that already includes venicius Jr and Jude Bellingham both of which will be bendor candidates in Spain the Gap has never been bigger between Real Madrid NFC Barcelona and in the Champions League if this team is fully fit I don’t see how anyone stops them in the world for the next five maybe six years back to you Craig all right thanks very much Christian and you know what when it comes to mbappe he’s one of the most popular people in the sport Isn’t it nice to not be discussing our good friend leono Messi for once and talking about somebody else in mbappe all right Thursday night it’s a reunion of sorts Kyrie Irving back in the NBA Finals taking on his old buddies in the Boston Celtics and heading back to the TV Garden does he have any sort of memories of this good bad ugly it’s media time for Kyrie talking about the reunion uh I think I’m better at consolidating uh kind of the emotions now or uh being aware of what it’s going to be like you know we call it animosity we call it hate we call it you know it’s going to be hell in Boston I mean there are real life circumstances going on he world that are bigger than the basketball uh kind of competitive side of things and answering those questions but I will say um you know last time at Boston I don’t think that was the best uh and not not this regular season but when we played in the playoffs and everyone saw me flip off the birds and kind of lose my but that wasn’t a great reflection of who I am and how I like to compete on a high level um you know it wasn’t a great reflection on my end towards the next Generation on what it means to control your emotions in that type of environment no matter what people are young at you um you know I’m built for these moments uh to be able to handle circumstances like that uh and I’ve been able to grow since then so uh of course it’s going to be a hectic environment but I’m looking forward to it and I see it as a a healthy relationship to have with the fans you know it’s the fan league and Kyrie Irving is part of it I mean who would have thought after everything going on with Kyrie Irving over the last few years in the NBA that we’d be talking about the fans and so glow about Kyrie Irving okay here we are all right coming up next Jim gazali joins us maybe we can get a pick at the Belmont and Saratoga we’ll find out next [Music] anyone that’s been to a sporting event the atmosphere before a game I think game time decisions has that

there are some huge news in terms of sports wagering and suspensions and permanent bands also one quick note I just reported uh for us here on social media that the Miami Marlins are uh DFA aisel Garcia signed a four-year $ 53 million contract he still has $12 million on his contract for next year and another $5 million buyout the Marlins are going to eat that and say goodbye to aisel Garcia it’s a lot of money all right now speaking of money and speaking of indiscretions Jim gazali didn’t think that’s what we would be talking about as we started off the show Jim just wanted to do some horse racing Come on talk about the Belmont and Saratoga he thought that’s what we were gonna do not so fast Jim you don’t get away with that here on the show today uh thanks for coming on the show uh I know Jim look this is a story that nobody really wants to talk about but it is the top story in sports betting and we’re a sports betting Network we have one player that has been banned for life by Major League Baseball and four other minor Leaguers who have been suspended for a year year so everybody has an opinion on this stuff Jim I I guess let’s start there what is your opinion of how this is being handled not just by Major League Baseball but also from the NFL they’ve had suspensions too the NBA suspensions lifetime bands as well is enough being done do you think that the proper actions are being taken well I think Craig is you see the list of betting scandals in you know really each of the the major sports just continues to grow I think in the last six or eight months we’ve had scandals in you know baseball like we’re talking about now we’ve seen in the NBA we’ve seen in the NFL we’ve seen in the NHL as well and I think a lot of the conversations are circulating around that education piece what are these leagues doing to educate the players on on the the rules of being able to to bet on on Sports certainly all of the the four major sports that uh that I mentioned prohibit wagering and and betting on on their own leads obviously uh there are some you know sort of carve outs for uh players in in certain leagues to wager on other professional sports and I think the conversations have been circulating around that that whole education piece and we do see this continuing to happen uh you know really month after month so uh I think there is a question as to how effective that that education piece is you know one might assume that losing a a year of of play losing a a year of salary and losing sort of credibility as as a whole might be enough of a deterrent but I think like we’ve seen over the within the last year or so uh that that perhaps might not be the case for for everybody uh playing professional sports yeah and uh the the hand you see from Jim right now is a sweat wiping off his brow so now we can move on from this baseball story to what Jim loves to talk about which is horse racing so uh Jim and I have discussed this topic in in horse racing for some time which is the idea that when you bet on a a horse at a racetrack whenever it is the odds change over the course of the day the week the time but that could be coming to an end at least in some different places Jim and right now bet 365 and bet makers you’ll have to tell me a little bit about them are offering what we would call as fixed horse odds not that the races are fixed but just the idea that when you place a bet you get the odds at the time that you place them tell us more yeah exactly so bet makers is an australian-based company uh very deep in into horse racing in Australia they’ve been in New Jersey for the last handful of years and they’ve partnered with Mammoth Park on a variety of fixed odds uh horse wagering options there so what this agreement that was just announced a few days ago will do is basically allow the bet 365 Sportsbook to offer fixed odds horse betting in New Jersey now if you recall correct uh bet 365 already offers fix dods Force betting in Colorado through their Sportsbook and I was kind of digging into this a little bit yesterday and the interesting thing is that in Colorado uh fix dod’s horse betting is considered a sports wager it’s an approved Sports bet in Colorado it is not however a approved Sports bet in New Jersey so uh some regulatory hurdles before this is actually going to be live in New Jersey uh given that that sort of um you know the way it’s kind of characterized in New Jersey making it a little bit of of an additional hurdle to to place this in the bet 365 Sports book but nonetheless a a deal to bring uh fixed odds into sort of the the popular if you will uh sports betting Arena now like you were saying yes there’s been some frustrations over the years with the the odds fluctuating in horse racing because it is a a par Mutual system that paramutual system is not going to go away and I believe that that is going to remain uh at least for for the foreseeable future the the main sort of betting pools that people will be playing in uh the conversations that I’ve had with multiple Sportsbook operators over the last handful of mons this fixed odds is just sort of a supplement to hopefully capture a new audience and appeal to more of that sports player uh that sports betting customer and bringing them into into horse racing as we’ve seen you know a variety of of different sports books you know FanDuel DraftKings Caesars uh investing heavily in in that horse betting market so bet 365 and bet makers uh partnering to bring fixed odds into that bet 365 Sportsbook in New Jersey Still Remains to be seen exactly when that’ll launch but that deal uh in place as of Sunday night yeah and I think that when we move forward with this I think some people are going to be excited but Jim naturally they’re going to be some people that are old schooled are like that’s not fair I got my all all my advantages from that you know how that goes uh okay so the Belmont is this weekend and it’s in Saratoga I don’t think a lot honestly Jim I don’t think a lot of people know that even now I I don’t think they do so uh DraftKings has a new brand strategy involved with the Belmont Stakes you’re not leaving the show without a pick Jim you’re not leaving here without one so tell us about the story and then when you hear my producers say 30 seconds that’s the time for you to tell us who’s winning the Belmont on Saturday all right you got it Craig so uh naira the New York Racing Association and and DraftKings uh announced a partnership a handful of months ago uh to have DK horse that horse betting app for draftking sponsor one of the Marquee stakes races uh taking place on Friday during that Belmont Stakes racing Festival uh so that’s one piece of it I was walking around the track yesterday evening and saw the DraftKings and DK horse logos kind of uh plastered just just about everywhere around the track and in talking to to some people at at DraftKings over the last week they’re really looking to you know really further and deepen this partnership they’ll be sponsoring a race later this summer at Saratoga the the Travers Stakes the the most popular race in Saratoga during the summer so a heavy investment like I was just talking about a few minutes ago from DraftKings into the the horse betting Marketplace and they’re looking to appeal to some VIP customers they’re also looking to appeal to just the the Casual horse player they’ve been a big proponent of of fixed odd so we’ll see what comes of this but two years in a row that uh naira and DraftKings have have struck up a partnership and uh for the race on on Saturday I like Sierra Leon finished second in the the Kentucky Derby has had a good string of workouts for for Chad Brown uh he’s a Morning Line favorite so kind of chalky but uh that’s what I’m going with all right Jim thanks for coming on BR Canon joins us next [Music] 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 and 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 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Eastern on Sports Grid it’s smarter to be on Sports grid your 247 Sports wagering Network the early line magical and historic season in Lincoln Nebraska continues he is the best player in the NBA but also in the biggest moments where the national media is watching newswire something that we have never seen happen before with one of the iconic coaches in the game Fel Coast to Coast the team covers it’s automatic it’s every time not not sometimes it’s every time game time decision L is actually far more dangerous from three on the road this year than at home this game here tonight you may want to consider taking as many points as human leag possible ingame live prime time we got not one but two coaches fired systems in place Sports rage late has let down written all over it it’s going to be hard to match the emotion that they played with the other night it’s smarter to be on Sports [Music] [Music] grid welcome back to news what a great story this past week of course at the RBC Canadian open as uh a player that I had never heard of before never heard of before uh ended up winning his first championship on the PGA tour and also with his father as the caddy so that made for a great story we’ll spend some time on that and then the memorial is this week so naturally all the big names are playing in the memorial will get Brady Cannon’s picks for that Brady joins us now here on newswire I I think that uh McIntyre one of the bigger surprises I think Fair to say the PGA Tour season Brady I you know didn’t see anybody pick him in particular to win I know he came off a really good PGA Championship but what do you make of this story with him winning and then his dad being the caddy there too yeah that that was extra special you know he had been through a few caddies he’ moved to the United States to Orlando Florida uh just after the Ryder Cup victory he was a part of that European Rider Cup victory uh this past fall and I guess he’s had some trouble kind of settling in and he went through a few different caddies and then he was scheduled to play in the Canadian open and didn’t really have a caddy on his bag and kind of made an emergency last minute call to his dad who taught him the game as a young boy and and sure enough his dad flew out from Scotland hopped on the bag and and Robert McIntyre goes on to win so yeah that was super cool um I I did see a couple of people tip him this week including a good friend of mine from the UK Dave Tindle who’s very sharp at this craft um but uh a great win for McIntyre who’s really been a good player for a while I mentioned a part of the Ryder Cup team you talked about a good finish at the PGA um he is threatened in the Scottish open you know his home country’s tournament it was last summer that he was in the lead a lot of my friends had a ticket on him at a 100 to one really and Rory mary caught him with a couple of incredible golf shots some of the best of Rory’s career to catch McIntyre pass him and win and now here kind of uh you know turnabout his fair play McIntyre holds off uh M mroy down the stretch at the Canadians so yeah and the funny story he gets into the field the signature event the memorial one of the absolute Big Boy tournaments on the PGA tour and he skips it says no thanks I’m going back home to party with all my boys celebrate this first tour victory yeah it it was a great story I I I think that as we move forward Brady I I don’t know if this is true or not it it seems like maybe I’m nuts here it’s a little easier to handicap the the golf tournaments that have all the big names in there because when you hit on one of the the Obscure names you get much better odds than when you do like a week like this week so I I feel like the odds are more that’s crazy enough in your favor because when you have Scotty sheffler and Rory maoy and Xander and all these players playing you’re going to get much better odds on Alex noren and Shane Lowry and some of these other players as well and even plus money on the top 20s and top 30s I think that’s like rudimentary and alysis there but I I sort of just feel better going into this week knowing that the big guns are playing yeah no I hear you and and I think a lot of it Craig has to do with the limited field too you’ve only got 73 players in this field this week certainly I think every one of them has a good chance to win maybe you could make an argument that it’s really only about 40 or 50 you know when you include sheffler and chafl and Rory you know it’s going to be harder for one of these guys that’s 150 to one to knock off those big guns but it it’s similar to the Masters we’ve talked about this before you know the Masters has got a field of about 80 or 90 guys the past champions aren’t going to win the debutant typically don’t win and you know pretty soon you’ve whittel down the field to about 30 or 40 guys that have a real shot to win and you know it’s kind of similar to these Signature Events but you’re right once you get past Scotty and Rory and you know a couple other guys pretty soon you’re into 40 50 60 to one on some of the top you know 25 30 players in the world so let’s get into some of the leaders here over on FanDuel some of the shortest odds and then I want to get your picks so Scotty sheffler is plus 350 he played very well by the way at the PGA Championship just didn’t win it Rory is back at 9 to1 Xander is 9 to1 morawa is 12 the one Victor havin 18 oberg at 22 Justin Thomas at 25 do you have any positions on any of the short numbers here before we get to some of the players you do like on the bigger side I stayed away from all of them this week Craig and I think you can make a case for or against each one of them Colin morawa was certainly on my radar he’s won at this golf course before he has the best track record on the tour along with Patrick k at Jack Nicholas designed courses Victor hland is your defending Champion he comes off of a third place finish at the PGA we know Scotty Scotty’s Scotty and he’s very likely to be there he’s finished third at this championship in h consecutive visits to Dublin Ohio Rory kind of feels good to me this week he he’s hot he comes off of another good finish at the Canadian open Xander I didn’t want to play him because I mean the guy just won his first m right so you would expect and maybe Xander next week we have the US Open too you know it’s possible that some of these guys could be you know have that in the back of their mind like next week is a little bit bigger than this week I I don’t know I’m playing sideline psychologist here but I I ended up just going de deeper down the board and and I went with Russell Henley um at 40 to1 who and when you look at this golf course it’s a big boy track it is one of the very best non- major events that we have all season long it’s like Tory Pines it’s like Riviera it’s the real deal I mean they’ve had President’s Cup and writers cups and all this good stuff it’s a long course it’s pretty generous off the tea the rough is really thick you’ve got to be a great iron player these small Speedy bent grass greens Henley does everything really well that I think is required this week and and like you mentioned earlier you’re getting 40 to one on a top 20 player in the world and then I went with Alex Norah again in my mind probably a top 30 player in the world if not better who’s been red hot this year took him at 60 to one Sam Burns you know outside of a cut at the PGA Championship he’s back in good form again to H took him at 60 Keegan Bradley who’s been great second at Colonial got him at 60 Lowry at 70 and then I went with a couple of long bombs Tom hogi at 92 to1 and Kurt kyama at 125 to1 all right so if any of the 100 to On’s hits Brady lunch is on me maybe dinner too thanks again for coming on news [Music] anyone that’s been to a sporting event the atmosphere before a game I think game time

played with the other night it’s smarter to be on Sports [Music] [Music] [Music] grid all right as we wrap up the show some of the bigger stories make our final segment here on the show as we get into everything happening in the World of Sports and perhaps my opinion on some of them it’s time now for some Last [Applause] Licks and we begin with that player on your screen right there you have no idea who he is you’ve never heard of him before and you probably never will again until uh you know somebody brings it up in terms of sports betting to capita Marano that is that gentleman’s name right there he is a player in the San Diego was a player in the San Diego Padres system who played Major League Baseball for a very short period of time and never will again uh this player named tuap Marano decided it was a good idea while he was on the Pittsburgh Pirates and injured to place bets although we don’t know specifically on or against but definitely involving the team that he was with the Pittsburgh Pirates 24 years old and at this stage of his career uh it is over for him playing in the United States Major League Baseball made the announcement earlier today that he has been banned for life they also suspended four other players minor league players were betting on sports although it was not involving baseball so the one thing that I want to take away from the story today is a question that was actually asked of me earlier today on our great show called The Early line with Ben Stevens and Donnie right side which is is Major League Baseball doing enough to police their own players to make sure they are educated I don’t think it’s fair to single out Major League Baseball in this situation we literally just had this happen in the NBA with player props we’ve had players in the NFL suspended as well if you believe there is a problem regarding education let’s blame everyone not just baseball because simply put baseball’s probably been the one that’s been the leanest as far as this is concerned I mean you literally had a player in the NBA betting his own props in the middle of a game so before we throw baseball under the bus throw some football under the bus throw an NBA bus uh as well all right so some bad news to some good news one of my favorite shows growing up is it fair to say growing up was I that young American Gladiators yes American Gladiators could potentially be coming back do you remember this show does anybody remember American Gladiators we’ve seen incarnations of this in the past but your average everyday person in reality format used to go up against some of the most popular big men and women of all time they would never win and if they did it was some agility like you literally would have to run around them you couldn’t beat them physically to anything uh but this was one of the more popular shows that I can remember and I’m glad that they’re deciding to bring it back everything that is old of course is new again when we get the exact details as far as when how this is going to air we’ll bring them to you here on the show all right a new sports card sale you know we always like doing this guess who it is Michael Jordan yet again the new all-time highest selling Michael Jordan card is here the final price $2 2.92 eight million on his 2003 Upper Deck ultimate collection Michael Jordan signed logo man it is the all-time record for any Michael Jordan card you may remember back in 2003 Upper Deck used to have the licensing for NBA cards they no longer ER doe it then went to I believe it is Panini and now I I also think it’s headed back to Fanatics at some point and tops as well regardless of that $3 million for a basketball card that is by the way produced over the last 20 or 30 years so comes a little bit I guess as a surprise but anytime there’s a oneof one card involving the best player of all time then you could understand how that would make sense all right that will do it for our show today and we got some great programming by the way coming up for you as soon as I am out of here going to tell you all about it because as soon as I am done at noon Eastern we’ve got the early line that is followed by Scott farell Coast to Coast at 3:00 Eastern so make sure you stay tuned to that show it’s 3: to 6 Eastern followed by Game Time decisions at 600 PM Eastern ingame live Prime Time following
