I wish I had a good answer but I came up to do a little a couple days of uh rental property work and I put it around the town's ice festival Ice festival. Okay, so ice sculptures with chainsaws Those guys are better with a chainsaw than I am with a pencil I'm sure they're really good. Oh, I've seen your notes for your typical Saturday and Sunday slay to football So yeah, I'm sure they are better with a chainsaw. So at ice festival. Well, they had the weather for it then Funny that Maine would schedule an ice festival for March that ought to tell you something about the kind of hearty winters They have yeah, well Actually, it was like 40 on Saturday, you know, in the towns open and everybody's just walking around

3:11They've been cooped up for months looking for any excuse to drink something that they've never heard of before Exactly. Yeah, all right. So you got rental product look at look at you by the way It started with just I want a place to go to Maine in the summer Now you've got two boats A cottage and a rental property like at the ambition on you mr x Now the rental property is just my dad's that I have to help him with Well, sounds like it's gonna be you have both although one of them's gonna be gone soon. I swear Do I need to tell your insurance company gone in a good way or gone like yeah, I don't know I'm seeing it in a while did it flow away gone like I'm gonna renovate it and and make 11 bucks on it Oh, you say you're going to I am way you know what as a guy as a friend of mine once said um winning is nice getting paid is even nicer You know renovating your boat and selling it for a modest profit is nice But you got to do it actually so don't count your chickens yet buddy boy

4:15Yeah, no, we'll see all right. It's gonna be a project this spring all right So before we get into a number of juicy topics I have to say That I had something that absolutely tickled my professional soul in a way that has not been tickled in a long time Wow, I get sent a A video of the Clemson South Carolina baseball game on ESPN I believe looking at the graphics And it's the the tweet was sent by Drew heron. Thank you Drew The audio is really not playable because it's very faint He just was sitting on the couch pointed the phone at his TV and then said here listen to this Abe Drew heron said the ale theory That's my patented thing always leave early I've got coins to prove it the ale theory Was referenced during the South Carolina Clemson baseball game today and so I listened to it and I go

5:18Holy shit This now has some legitimacy Above and beyond mr x my silly podcast world a play-by-play guy on ESPN Reference the ale theory because fans were starting to leave Like well looks like so I I responded on Twitter with holy shit wow Because I was genuinely excited and I get this reply this morning Steve that was me I was a big fan of your show and it was on the air here in the Clemson greenville area Hope we get the chance to meet one day sincerely Don Munson Play-by-play Announcer for Clemson football Basketball and baseball and director of broadcasting for Clemson University It's cool. That is neat. I did not know that Clemson's voice Actually knew who I was and was a fan and could you say out there?

6:19This is fantastic. Let's go. So we're gonna have Don Munson on This podcast in due time But these are the things mr x that you know Granted the the money which you know the professional money is out now for the time being It may come back. It may never come back But I do this for the fellow professional respect Of guys like Don Munson who get it who hear me and go that's funny. I'm gonna use that ale theory. So there we go All right, so there was that then I want to get to this story Which I don't even know your take on because I just sent you the nugget Didn't want to hear from you until we were on the air And I don't know your unified thought on prediction markets at this time. We're gonna get this Okay, so Talshi Which along with polymarker to the two big prediction markets that work kind of like gambling sports gambling

7:19But their actual peer-to-peer markets created by these entities and They're able to offer wagers on anything and anything under the sun including things such as Will the supreme ayatola of Iran be out by April first you can bet on that with real money Well as we know He was out as of Saturday morning So a guy went on Twitter and said hey, Calche I'm done with you fools I had this wager this not wager this Contract is what they call them miss tracks. I had this contract this kind he had layered Contracts based on the same premise That the ayatola will be out by April first and tolling over a couple thousand dollars And he showed his screenshot and they were all Not paid out by Calche because Calche said

8:21Yeah, well, you see we have a death clause on these kind of things because we don't want people profiting from death And what else is out? Well, that's the thing He's not gonna lose he's not gonna lose an election for God's sakes What are the kind of out is that right? I don't even know what what came in second He's not gonna get impeached for God's sakes He's either gonna die of being old Or he's gonna die with a two thousand pound GBU on his head That's as out as it can get so Basically, you know Calche stood by their ground and this guy is out several thousand dollars. He got completely Fucked winning is nice Getting paid even nicer So with that said What's the mr x stands on prediction markets? Well our last show we actually talked about y'allness and this whole affiliation

9:22And it was nauseating me so much Even though let's not call that the same industry. I'm in it's certainly close And it's painful um The conversation I had with you last time Indirectly is what got me to change my mind on retirement. Oh Here we go you were right drum roll We haven't announced that you need to be smarter now more than ever We have an announcement mr x is Saddling up for one more year Not retiring yet because as you said in your newsletter to your subscribers yesterday you said look I'm disgusted by so much that is going on It's rip offs left and right that said They need me on that wall more than ever So for one more year emails I got like dude no not now yeah

10:24Okay, so good so you're gonna stick around so you're currently grinding on your baseball season totals Yes, yes, that's the right to at least one more calendar year. We'll see what happens then but yeah Just that that whole um, what do you call it contracts? I'm sorry, but the simplest thing of every wager for eternity Is there needs to be a winning side and there needs to be a losing side And you may not always like the rulings But people used to think oh they're out to get me know they're not there's a winner There's a loser you're on one side of the other But now these things they put together There's not always two sides And that's just wrong you know you can bet one side you can't bet the other side and in this case And I hadn't heard this one till you said it but When you say it to me and if you said hey, what exactly does out mean there's no other side it I don't Ah, it gets me what can I say that's not a fair bet No, of course not and period and and on the one hand

11:27I'm like unsympathetic because you're wagerig on It world leaders being Eliminated so you get what you get Yeah, don't put it up right but on the but on the other hand It's just crazy that this is allowed to happen that they I mean where's the recourse? Where's the oversight but this is how crazy things are getting out and they're not going to get any less crazy anytime soon So they're sponsored by pro athletes They are some guys in the back room doing this Right and and and did you see Adam silvers explanation At the all-star break about why he didn't think it was that big of a deal The ultimate yes, man. I don't know. What did he say? He said well, you know, it's it's only like a 1% stake And somebody had to Somebody pointed out. Yeah, 1% of 5 billion valuation. That's a lot of money It's a low principle 50 million dollars like

12:30Well, that's like the guy saying I robbed the bank, but it was a small bank. Right, right come on All right, so we are less than 28 days away from ze vegas 2026 Continued to get people now starting to rally rally to the ball as we like to say Your boy mr x the guy or sorry your boy coach knocky who introduced me to you in the first place Because you guys were neighbors and little league dads back in the day Has said that if you're all the matter UVA Where his daughter is the director of basketball ops that's right Chris knocky's daughter is one of the few High-ranking women the indivision one men's basketball. She does all the scheduling all the travel for UVA Like she's a badass got all the all the brains in the family all the brain and the looks by the way Because dad is kind of ugly, but he's got a swagger to him which I like and that's why but he said he said to me

13:30As long as Virginia's not in the sweet 16. I am there at ze vegas. That's about a 50 50 I say because they're right on that bubble Well, they're they're really good, but you know, it's the tournament, right? You got to win sure You got to win two games and only the first one is easy And the first one might not even be easy. Are you surprised at Virginia's pop-up season they're having? I'm surprised at how they're doing it. It's very I know it's a new coach, but it's I mean they they Run up and down the court more in the first minute of the game than they did in a month the last few years I mean they they're a different style team and You know as you know today there is no rebuilding the program you you should rebuild it in 45 minutes If you're going to rebuild it it doesn't take long But this is the ultimate hedge bet now I kind of want the wahoo's to advance and I kind of want knocky at Vegas So I don't know how to play that right look at it as a win-win Yeah, this is this is going to be an interesting one for you because of that. Yeah

14:33They got rolled by Duke the other day Duke has the best defense in division one I don't think that's even arguable at this point and not not just how they handled Virginia with ease Not just how they held Michigan a very explosive offensive team to 64 points And not just the 50 point beat down of Notre Dame. Woof Yeah, I mean Duke puts the screws to people We'll see if this Duke team is different come March then previous editions have been But that is that is the whole thing that makes March man. This is is Duke the best team. Yes. Does the best team usually win? No, yeah So what is our plan for Vegas both in terms of betting the sweet 16 And also just the plan beyond that Rollin' around seeing some things doing some things What do we got going on Mr. X? Yeah, well it depends. I mean You know the key is always how much can we afford to win? I don't know Um, I don't have a plan. I'm going out Wednesday be there three days

15:38Trying to stay on top of the tournament. That's the busiest weekend Yeah, it'll be fun, but I don't have any set plan. What about? We I need to play some craps With yeah, I'm doing book club shoulder Okay, I'm doing book club book club on craps. Yeah, we're gonna teach it not at the table I cannot teach at the table We're gonna I'm working on how to do it. We will have a small private session for those that even if they're beginners If you want to learn from scratch or you want to learn some fine points if you already know how to play I'm committed to teaching you know me I like to teach the whole website thing is teaching. I'm committed. I want to teach people That's part of the parent and you're raising four boys you you want to teach things for when you're not here anymore You know and craps and gambling those are my two best do all four of your boys gamble on sports Yes And they're they're the typical new generation have they are and the reason I asked is this have you ever discovered

16:39That they were starting to drift into deep waters with their gambling Not yet. I've kept tabs. I mean, I thought x1 was immune. He was He didn't seem to be he liked he liked sports, but he wasn't like watching on tv guy But now it wasn't until this last holiday season when I noticed you know That he's quite into what I call the modern day attraction sitting there buying lottery tickets As I call it, you know, five six eight ten leg parlays Just novelty the stuff that they push at you if you're new He's the oldest, but he is now doing it x2 takes it very very very seriously x4 is the NBA guru. He knows more NBA than like a more than most people know about anything But he's not doesn't have money yet. So he's behaving himself, but he's good at it Do you ask any of them? Can you show me your spreadsheet of win losses and where you stand right now

17:42Let's just say I Have the ability To monitor from the distance to audit their shit. Well again, I don't have sons So this will never be my thing, but if I could I would insist You need to create a spreadsheet that shows exactly what you're winning on And what you're losing on and how much and I want to see it every month And I want you to track every bet specifically. I want you to track prop bets I want you to bet totals or prop track track totals same thing for sides same thing for sports Same thing for parlays if you're dumb enough to do parlays teasers etc You need data on what you're better at and where you stand you can't just go Yeah, I think I'm a little bit down for the month. No, no, no, no, you don't think You need to know You're exactly right and you know what I don't even need to see that homework

18:42If you're if you're making that sheet That's all you need because you got enough sense right there to follow it itself right right that that means that you're actually taking it seriously Exactly. Yeah, if you take it seriously then you have a fighting Chance yeah, not a great chance. They're something. They're following for all the same stuff and I'm doing you know It's it's it's a tough world out there right now when they're hitting at you with what they're hitting at you with It's it's as you know, I mean, it's obviously gets me fired up. I don't like I don't like what it's become Yeah, I know in the old days you get everybody used to laugh and you just think I was in a dark city corner somewhere But I'll take those days over this so anytime. Yeah, well you got to navigate the world as it exists It's just wishing into something that it's not all right last thing on the gambling front Then I want to talk some baseball some other stuff with you um I am playing Texas hold him in a tournament at mgm national harbor Wednesday night

19:43With Johnny Cakes Oville of the junkies Cakes is the official poker ambassador for mgm national harbor and he said say you should come to model my events You know, I got a putter to give away Which could tie into you because you're such a golfer for the person who knocks you out and I said That's great cakes and I got nothing going on. I'm unemployed right now I'm like, but I haven't played a single hand of Texas hold him yeah in my life And so he's like really I go really I said where would I begin Where is the little laminated card of here's a hand you should probably stay in on at least until you see the river Ha There's no such simple laminated card it sounds like yeah This isn't as easy as learning blackjack quickly my friend This is but you know what for as much as I you know I often get labeled as grumpy old man that thinks everything was better in the old days the one thing

20:47That the young kids their 20s 30s can do today light years better than our generation is play Texas hold him They can play that game they're good at it. There is a drop on it And they can't they can't play seven card stud, but they can play hold him Yeah, there's a guy's like you and me can't catch up well That's that's exactly and I tell people that's exactly why I I never played is because I realized 20 years ago when poker started to explode as a not you know ESPN hooked into it right I mean Prior to ESPN getting on board 20 25 years ago to promote it Yeah, Texas hold him existed. It was a cart one card game of thousands of card games right Exactly, but it got big because of ESPN and then with the internet people started Playing it and whatnot and it became huge and I realized I had already missed my window to jump in early So I was already thousands upon thousands of hands behind

21:50Others in a game of skill that has played for real money and I'm like yeah, I'm there. There's no point getting in now But exactly if there's two things that that so-called general my kids can kick my ass on it's hold him and Madden right right now it now you might say well, say it that's ridiculous I mean that would that would mean that no new players would ever come into the game You can get up to speed you can learn you can develop a skill set for it And I'm like yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right, but I choose not to It's like work It kind of is it is save one x2 first graduated college And you know about that time was the time my kids kind of started hinting and nudging about gambling and poker and sports betting As if they were teaching me something, you know, right? They didn't they didn't know Anything about dad's background and they were like trying to they think they've come on to something new, you know Yeah, well, and he's really into

22:52Hold him and point and I looked at him said if you're gonna do that You got a freaking learn it stop learning on the flight learn it You know, whatever you do learn it the right way next thing. I know I'll give him this I see on his nightstand a big fat book on how to play in a bookmark halfway through and I'm like Okay, if you're gonna do it do it do it, but like he said that's work Yeah, it look it's a job learn to play that game right I respect the game because it has a fascinating Four-layer cake of different disciplines Layer one would be just the math of odds of hands and probability of winning and the dynamics of how much stack do you have Versus somebody else. What's the format? It's a lot of mathematical sort of calculations. That's number one Layer two is the bluffing element of it and the sort of you know, the way you play and how you set guys up with fold fold fold fold

23:53Hey maker. Oh my god, and then you turn the cards. You didn't really have much of a hand It's like play calling in the NFL I would say the third level of it is just a pure psychological level of stamina when you're in these tournament games You know, I'd watch the poker cards. Well, yeah, I'd watch the poker series on on ESPN and just the guys with their sunglasses on Their hoodies up and they've been there for seven hours And it's like a game of attrition. I'm like holy shit. And then the fourth layer of the cake is Just plain luck You gotta get the fucking cards Right helps to that helps too Yeah, it is I mean get in it. I mean to stay focused for there's a reason in college the classes aren't more than An hour. Yeah, you can't stay focused Now there is a chance getting a break every three or four hours. That's hard stuff There is a chance that this ignites in me a Texas hold on passion that grows. It's possible I will be exposed. I don't know. I'm pretty confident. I'm not gonna make any shelf space for this in my life

24:59But you know stranger things have happened. There's room in the five hour energy dome I don't know about that and I'm in for the opener. Okay Just because the NFL season is now firmly in the rearview mirror does not mean the bedding season is over There is still plenty of opportunities to put a little something something on the games No matter what tickles your fancy. There is still plenty of action to wet your appetite But just remember where you bet is every bit is important if not more so than what you're betting on That's why I tell my friends to go to my bookie dot agey My bookie has been ahead of the game for years now. Why does that matter? Oh, I don't know in a million ways Better lines better payouts less rules at my bookie dot agey use promo code save And have your deposit matched halfway up to a thousand dollars That's a free cash bonus for making your deposit use promo code save to claim the offer bet win and most importantly get paid

26:00With my bookie today That said Let's talk baseball this automated balls strike system Tell me your thoughts on it because In theory it should be pretty good As a supplement to a gregiously bad ball strike calls which have infuriated baseball fans for years in theory You get two challenges per game And teams are are flinging out the challenges early and often in spring training because the games don't matter That is led to some pretty hilarious exchanges like the five straight ABS challenges in one game ping ponging between both teams And I think they're all overturn That said There are problems to this Of which geometry is one of the first big problems. I get this email from mark d And he I sent it to you as well He said zeb something for you today

27:01If you want to hate replay more than you already do read up on tonight. I can't hate it anymore It's the needle is pegged on hatred. That's that ship sailed If you want to hate replay more than you already do read up on the ABS system that MLB uses A strike per the rule book is if the ball crosses any part of a Three-dimensional strike zone Sure However, the tech in the ABS system is actually a two-dimensional plane They do this because doing it the right way Would create results that a quote real lump would never call But isn't that sort of the point? What a moronic explanation for the way they're doing this why slow down the game just to make sure the ball Crosses an arbitrary strike zone that isn't even defined in the rule book itself total nonsense PS been listening to you at every stop since 9 9 80 and I figured this is exactly the kind of thing you would hate

28:04I do I absolutely do hate it What do you what do you make of the 3d versus 2d geometry of robo ump 3000 Okay, there's a lot Crammed in there the first thing is I don't Understand why one would say a real ump doesn't understand 3d of course they do For century. We've known what a backdoor curve ball is I don't understand the the assumption that a real ump is uncapable Of of calling the zone 3d every kid whoever umpire learned the strike zone rule Why are we saying real umps can't do it? Sure they can Okay, but more importantly When this came up a year ago we talked because I was in Arizona for a week or so a spring training when they were Test piloting this in spring training And what I reported back to you then was the same thing the same problem today, which is Hey challenge. Okay cool

29:06put up on the big screen A rectangular box and show the pitch an inch outside the box and say oh It's obvious Well, yeah, but where the box come from I know Anybody with an Xbox can say look at hit the line But I I question from day one The accuracy of the line especially the height. I mean anyone knows what's the left and the right side of the plate But I look at that box and I'm not I know they know the difference between Aaron judge and L2. They It's about a foot But still I don't think that that box is Accurate so no showing me a baseball touching the line when the line is bullshit Doesn't do a thing for me to say oh look he missed that call. Yeah, they probably correct a couple of blown calls But I just don't have faith In the top of that strike zone every time they put the box on the screen

30:09I look at it and I say that doesn't look like the right spot And I don't think it changes enough hitter to hitter. Yeah, but just sit there and say the ball Touched the line or didn't touch the line is not the point. It's where's the line Yeah, yeah, these are all get that these are all cares about to miss ball strike calls a game for god's six I know one guy really big moment in the ninth inning, but And the only thing they got right and if they're still doing it I'd like to fact that unlike You know if there's a safe out call they they put the hand up and say hold on hold on We're thinking about it. We're checking our own replay. That's bull at least this one It had to be an instant challenge by the batter the picture of the catcher. They couldn't sit there and wait Yeah, and that part I'd like um, but now the manager has to um trust The um the hitter who might be tipped off at a at a

31:11A one oh strike call in the third inning, but if you're the manager who's waiting for the tactically right moment You're like dude now really what are you doing right? So they lose that kind of control, which is stupid um, you know at least and you know and and NFL or or college the coach has the red flag Not some wide receiver yell him that he caught the ball and clearly it's skipped Yeah So I like that, but I it all comes down to don't show me it's in or out of the box. The focus is the box But your emailer is right about the 2d part showing where it crossed the front of the plate is not what makes it a strike It has to hit any part front back middle whatever. Yeah, I don't know. I don't see any need for it. I think it's uh I think the problem is in sports. There are certain things That are the epitome of An undefinedable gray area and so things like the edges of the strike zone is an ocean of gray What is holding what is pass interference? It's an ocean of gray

32:11Block charge and basketball. It's an ocean of gray and The thing that replay promises the false god That is replay Promises precision and absolute justice for the right calls And that can never exist in a world that has oceans of gray. So we'll see how it plays out I On the one hand, there's some months that have really shitty strike zones and should have been drummed out of Major league baseball long time ago, but the umpires have a union Unfortunately, and they defend even their worst guys like angel Hernandez Thank god angel Hernandez got bullied by the media and social media into just retiring Otherwise, he'd still be out there fucking up games And for the most part over the decades For the most part That old adage of consistencies all that matters which isn't really true. How about being good, but

33:12There were umps that had bigger zones that the pictures liked and there were umps with tighter zones that the hitters liked And as long as they were consistent, they knew hell I used to keep a chart zeb on umpires in the 90s Because I would use those to bet over and under runs in a baseball game. Oh, and it mattered Well now everyone tracks the wrong data Yeah, now everyone has how many runs per game the ump gives up and I don't care Because is he is he in a Pedro Martinez gamer? Is he in a you know a couple of fifth starters games I always equated the the runs allowed in a game As how does it relate to the expected total that tells me something, you know, if if you're ump and um mac shurser versus uh Clayton Kirshaws in their prime That doesn't mean you're uh, uh, that doesn't mean that the umpire uh, you know has a big time means the pictures are good But as long as they There there's nothing wrong with umpires being different and being one having a little more generous to the pit

34:17And one being a little tighter That's okay. It's called human Right Well, we'll see how it actually plays out now that it's going to be a thing I would just remind everybody Sometimes the unforeseen unintended consequences are always the biggest surprises where you're like Oh, wow, I didn't know they would do that. Okay. All right. And they're probably going to tweak it Tweak it again So we'll see yeah I did you care for the combine at all Not really Not really What's the biggest what's the biggest story out of the combine? I'll give you the biggest story to me at least okay, and that is if a player came up with a undesirable measurable Meaning 40 yard dash time a little bit too slow or arm length a little too short There is now a certain number of media members some of them prominent like

35:19Adam Schefter who are willing to then go and tweet out how Well, Carnell Tade had a bad 40 time from Ohio state at wide receiver of like a 457 But other scouts had him at closer to four five Or better or no, he was he he was under four four something like that And so people are gone. Oh, okay, and you know Schefter came out with that right away Somebody else said that the arm size measurements on guys like Ruben Bane Jr Who is a freaking monster, but his arms are a little bit short They're now questioning that and as somebody tweeted mr x The only value that the combine ever had as a concept was get everybody together Run him through some basic drills and measurements So we can at least have a baseline data set that is neutral That is not your pro day my pro day indoors outdoors So the wind blowing is the sun shining that that's the only point of the combine and now

36:22That's blown away because of a guy as a bad number people are going to come out going Oh, no, no, no, that wasn't the number And fewer and fewer players are participating in all the standard drills They're cherry picking if they do the three cone good, they'll do the three cone And if they know the broad jump ain't good, they'll skip that So the data Which was already very thin in value in my opinion when it was comprehensive and it was uniform The data now is beyond Bad it's I think virtually worthless because it's so incomplete It's so incomparable from player a to player b and that's my unified take on me All right combine right my take is this all the people covering the combine and writing about it They pretty much the same group that covered the Super Bowl and didn't notice the quarterback had an arm injury. Yes Ding Ray Right the same media that was decamped in San Francisco for a week

37:27Spending who knows how much money for their employers to stay in a hotel have per DM take calves and ubers all over the place And the storyline that was the biggest storyline that should have been was how is drake maze shoulder holding up They didn't talk about it once Good job people good job the other the other thing to me. I get it winning is better than losing Great, you know, Darryl green would win that fastest man contest for I mean a decade plus But when you start saying is it four five two Or four four nine great So congratulations you won by an inch Yeah, that's gonna help in the NFL. Yeah, is it really? I mean, I want to know of course But the fact that you're can get out of the blocks like a sprinter And save point oh whatever Does that translate well because you're fast and he's fast

38:28Right, well some say that the first ten yard number Is the most important number do you know why According to this one post I read they run the 40 not the hundred at the combine Because Paul Brown back in the day. Yeah, it's time. Well, it does save times Save 60% of time Paul Brown the legendary Paul Brown once upon a time when the combine was just kind of forming Decided that well an average punt Goes 40 yards Okay, so Then I need you to run a hundred so that right so the so the net net was Okay, the net net was so you're telling me the 40 yard dash time which is one of the featured Metrics of the combine that was just a punt gunner drill Seems very narrow in its scope don't you think But it makes a little bit of sense and I still feel like it's you know If you're talking about the Olympics or attract me

39:29It's getting out of the blocks is where it's one. Yeah, I just don't know how important that is In the NFL and it's great when somebody sets a record. Well, who is it still Chris Johnson? I think or whatever But still it's yeah, I just it just can't seem like it's worth The scrutiny of was it 47 or 457 or 454? I don't know I believe bum Phillips once was asked about Earl Campbell's time in the mile And bum bum Phillips said well if it's third in a mile, I won't give it to him I remember that it was because he had trouble finishing the mile He couldn't finish it and they asked about it. He said well, I won't give it to him on third in a mile All right, do you have anything else before we wrap it up here Now looking forward to Vegas looking forward to baseball All right, I'll I'll end on this. This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while on Twitter so This guy was getting into an argument with somebody about Christian Watson the

40:33Mercurial but often injured wide out for the Green Bay Packers And this guy cracked back on someone who was defending Christian Watson as a player By saying unlike you I watched every single Christian Watson game in college At no point was he by the way played at North Dakota So this is a real inside baseball thing I said at no point was a was he anything but a go ball or screen pass merchant Yes, athletic freak but couldn't stay on the field in any of his years in college That has followed him through to the pros That was the fan clapping back On a Christian Watson supporter a supporter whose name is Tazim Waheed Wahed And he happens to be the father of Christian Watson Who goes by his Muslim name now and who has been very vocal out on them streets of Twitter like you have to be really

41:38Clueless to not know that Christian Watson's dad is out there fighting every fight He can get into on the internet defending his son. It's actually kind of funny Also his dad played in the NFL so he knows a thing or two about a thing or two So this guy says to do Christian Watson's dad unlike you I watched every game you played in college To which his dad responds. I'm Christian's watch I'm Christian Watson's father dumbass I've watched every down of every game. He's ever played in his entire life And you don't know what the fuck you're talking about Christian missed three games Three total his entire career in college Before he got to the NFL Save I've got a parting one.

I texted my neighbor up the street here and asked him when he walks the dog To let me know if my car could get out because you know, it's been snowing all winter. Sure
