Our two overdrive continues powered by Fandule, bringing any more ways to play your game your way. Brian Haysio, Dr. Foneil, Jamie Newtles, McClenan. We've got Kevin Harlan coming up. We've got more picks, right? Owen Wilson, or quick 2-0. Very good start for the boys. Not a great pick. Last night by Al's brother and myself. Al's brother, honest. He's... Make it some excuses to now. Yeah, and I had forgotten, you know, like you...

1:03It's seven months. It's a long time in between. It is. And there has been a lot... Let me just say this. There's been a lot of sways. Like there's been down seven comebacks to up seven. Like 14-point differential swings. So this is nothing. It's not. That's it. Like I was getting texts from people today. I was saying you got to punt Al's brother to the curb. I'm like, dude, it's... They're not doing that. First pick. I wouldn't do that. I have to give him some freedom. Like as a management type, I got to allow him to breathe and I got to let him... You got to give my Haysiarms leave. Yes, I got to give my Haysiarms leave. But he is very frustrating at times to deal with when he's got his mind made up on a pick. And I'm pushing back. I have a clip here from a great movie called Office Space. You would be very familiar with it. I love that movie. Because we're on the Packer game, which I think is a doogie jam job because let me understand what this is about. Let me guess. You wanted the 49ers.

2:05Not... No, I was okay with the Rams in the end, but I will say I did throw out the idea that it felt like Vegas was thinking the Niners were gonna win. The line was fishy to me. It was a neutral sight game. And it was in Australia. It was a tough game to call. But in the end, I was like, all right, we're in for the Rams. Let's do it. They got pumped. But now we're going back and forth on the Vikings and Packers. And I got to let him breathe. And I throw stuff out. And this is effectively the response I get from Al's brother. Oh, yeah. I'm gonna have to go ahead and sort of get a little bit later on for the Sunday slate. Kevin Harlan here in a moment. There's Dylan Larkin story took another turn today where I was going to get to the

3:16second round. I'm not sure where Larkin and the team jointly sent out a statement that he will be at camp, but he's not the captain anymore. Goofy's stuff, man. How does this work? There's still no GM. I don't have a GM. No kidding. And that I think would be on the owner. I could dig around and find out. But how in the hell do you not have this Dylan Larkin situation? You need to have this stuff under control before training camp starts, especially for the Detroit Redwings who have missed the playoffs for so many years. You've got to have all this business in order. I'm not saying you go out there and rush to something that's ridiculous. But how long ago did Izerman step away? Oh, too much. Long enough to hire a new new man. More than enough. More than enough to get a quality person. And maybe it might be someone even in house. And now you're going to say, always good. You want to talk about a distraction. Like guys sit around and all summer and they

4:21look at their phone or a captain wants to get traded. Oh, but now he's coming back and he's not going to be the captain. That doesn't judge me. It's going to be a distracted distraction. They've got good guys in house. They've got Sean Horkoff there. They've got Chris Draper there. They've got they've got a really good management team there. The problem is they've got to make a decision because if you have no manager, like who's setting the culture? Who's setting the tone for this group? You know, we're joking. You know, if the Raptors want to make a trade with the Clippers, who's the GM? Who you're dealing with over there? Like what's going on? Like, like, if X team X wants to trade for Dylan Larkin right now, who's he calling? Is he calling Larkin's agent to facilitate the trade? Is he calling the owner? Like that's something they've got to get that sorted just for even the illusion that hey, everything's in control here. Now Steve Izerman's still involved. I would argue he's probably But not with Larkin. I'll bet you not I'll bet you he's not all in the

5:21Larkin situation. I'm sounds like that was not the greatest relationship. But I would ask you guys as players in a room. Again, maybe there's some agreement like listen, you got to buy us a little more time. We're going to flip you. Please just show up and be a good guy. Maybe it's Larkin San Adam really want to lose the money because if I don't report, I'm not going to get paid. But my understanding was and I understand this I get the magnitude of being a captain. It is it's a it's a market thing. It's a it's a fan base rule. But the it originated from who's the leader in the like the guys kind of determined the captain. Right. So you know, I don't I'm not convinced they're all pissed at Larkin. They might be. But what if in the room that like that's our captain. We love this guy. So who took the cap and see away from him if the other players are like we don't he's our captain. You know what I'm saying? Like what what is the purpose of taking the cap and see away? Do you still think that the guys are all lovey-dovey with this guy? I know that's our leader and we love him. After the guy said I want to get you know what

6:23it's like. You think the guys in Ottawa as much as you're a buddy of Brady could chuck like all those guys that were tight with them whether it be Batherson, Stutzla and all the sudden he goes guys I don't want to play here anymore. I'm out of here. Yeah. You'd be like really? I don't think you'd be like oh I'm lovey-dovey with this guy. I love this guy man. I don't care about anything. But you'd be like what the hell is going on here? Do you want to be here or not? Well you're right. Oh that's the thing we're Ottawa dealt with it quickly and they dealt with it at the end of the season. That's exactly right. And so it didn't linger. And you're right. Like these guys have gone for dinners. They've hung out, I guarantee they've been to each other's weddings and all that. They're friends. Dylan Larkin probably told his best friends on the team. Guys I'm out and they have to respect that. But it is the longer it goes it gets awkward. And I would argue that Larkin probably went to the organization and said it makes sense for me to not be the captain because I could be traded tomorrow. I could be traded two weeks from now. So it might be kind of a both scenarios. But it comes back to Hazen. You've been saying

7:27this when there has been an ask same things going to happen in Winnipeg. I said when there's been an ask to walk back into that dressing room and go I'm going to be a pro. I went through it years ago when I was with the Alan or Kurt Muller put his hand up and said guys I want to be traded. He talked to us on the bus. I'll never forget it. Millbury was being a dink and Muller went back at him and Millbury is like this guy's giving up on you and all of that type of stuff. And then Muller on the bus we were in San Jose and he said guys not giving up on you. This is where I'm at in my career. This is what I'm going to do. He was very honest and I respected it. I was just a kid. You know, so am I going to say anyways. But there are things where guys ask for a trade and respect where they are in their career. But it is the longer that it goes. Muller didn't stay in that room and play with us for another month. That's the part that we get ugly guys. And it's a young league and I also think it would be very important. I don't know if in that Detroit locker room Patrick

8:29Keynes not there. I don't know if they have like a 35 year old Kevin Deneen or a Gary Roberts. That would literally get everybody together whether it be out for lunch or in the dressing room and say what's the deal here? Like you're not the captain. Do you not want to play here? Because it is awfully tough. If you're goal in the NHL is to bust your ass every shift. And you see just one little hint of him not back checking or not really caring. It's like it is such a distraction and it's like what the hell is this guy doing here? So someone needs to sit him down with all like just air it out. Like what the hell is your deal? What's your deal? Like do you want to play here or not? If you really want to get traded then you got to go and tell the general manager get the hell get the sky out of here somehow because we can't deal with it. Yeah. And I find it hard to believe he's really changed his mind. You know, it would be awfully difficult to believe that he's changed. What's changed? You know what I mean? Like if Detroit acquired Quinn Hughes and Conor McDavid over the summer I'd say

9:30yeah probably he's thinking let's stick it out. They didn't do it ton in the off season to improve their team. So I can't imagine he feels better about them today than he did three or four months ago. That's a great point, Brian. And people are saying you know players are complaining about the market and they love bringing up Canada which there is a case where guys are not wanting to play in Canada. That is out there. But maybe both of these guys have just simply they've been on their teams a long time and they don't believe they can win. Not anytime soon. And that's the simple reason why they said I want to go play somewhere else. Yeah, it's been 11 years. I think for both of them. You know, like you're talking Halibut in Larkin. That's right. It's a long time. It's a long time. It's a long time. But it's not resolved. And now we got some clarity on Larkin and his plan in the next two weeks. Still not on Halibut though. It's a joint statement coming out soon on that. I don't know. I guess we'll find out. All right. Joining us here on the Maple Toyota hotline.

10:32You hear him all the time calling NFL games NBA games. He does it all. Here's one of our favorites back on overdrive. Here's Kevin Harlan. How you doing Kevin? I good afternoon everyone. Good to be on with you. Yeah, great to chat with you. What do you make of the NFL down in Australia? Are you a proponent of the NFL trying to basically get to every possible continent in time zone and just expand the brand? Yeah, I understand the business side is clear and I get it and that's the world we're in. It's shrunk with with everything that we've got technically in front of all of us. And and the jet travel the way it is and the way you can now alter that and make it even better for the people that have to make that trip in terms of pressurizing the planes and leaving them when you need it and everything. I understand that. That is a marquee matchup. Those are two of the best teams in pro football and I get playing around the globe and selling your product.

11:38But at the end of the day, you know, it's not that I'm against it, but that's a that's a big game and that that's a game that should be, you know, in on a platform and here in the United States. I mean, you could have almost taken New England and Seattle and put them there and and you know that although we've got two super bowl teams from February that are going at it and you know, why would you begin with your two, you know, conference champions there, but San Francisco and LA, I mean, like those are that's a big game. And to make them do that go all the way there and and and and go through those hoops and adjust what you all teams are doing when they play in Europe or in Brazil or wherever. I don't know, I just just. First of all, we're playing on Wednesday, we're playing on Thursday, we're playing on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, like we're playing all over the map.

12:39And I guess when you look at what made this week successful was that Sunday afternoon package, the early game, the late game and and what they're trying to do is they've got they've got, you know, 32 teams and 16 valuable members, commodities, investment pieces that they want to get in front of every available. I ball on every possible platform make every game scanned on its own and not have a Sunday game go to 4% of the country when we could put it on another broadcast member and have them do it nationwide and it would still get ratings, even though it may be against two, you know, three win teams. So what they're just they're just trying to feel, you know, what this world looks like, but that kind of a game is a fan out of love to have seen that game in San Francisco or in Los Angeles with the home crowd giving, you know, just this wonderful, great, you know, emotion of opening game of the season, two Super Bowl contenders.

13:57And as opposed to maybe a an unbiased crowd at 10 o'clock in the morning in Melbourne, Australia, I just as I'm talking as a fan here, because I am a fan first and foremost, and I guess I just kind of feel that way. Kevin, do you think the guy that was this sport science that probably spent a million bucks to figure out what time to get to Australia? Does he have a job today because the Rams that decision that decision did not look good when I thought about it this morning because we were weighing both things all week and I woke up this morning and I was like how stupid is that to fly in right before the game and not get acclimated? Well, I mean, I think science as it does every day comes up with a new way, different way, altered way of handling anything, disease, hydration, physical, blood work, like all of it, right?

14:59I mean, it's a daily evolution of that, including this and there is no doubt that that coach and his staff discussed it with the smartest minds they know, relying a lot on what they had done playing overseas before and they had followed this pattern before, nothing like Melbourne, but they followed the same procedure and found success. I don't think this morning I haven't read it, they are blaming that, but I think what it does is it puts information just like a trial medical breakthrough in whatever it might be, puts it into the pot, puts it in front of very smart people and they're going to figure out if maybe they have checked the box here and said, okay, that clearly was not the best way. Or it clearly didn't have a factor. I don't know, I kind of think San Francisco was just ready now whether they were more rested, less confined mentally and just the travel and all the weird things that conjures up when you make a 16 hour flight, I don't know, but maybe it did and I do know this San Francisco look great and they had been there a week and that's the way they approached it.

16:18And I guarantee you there are teams that are making trips around the world coming up this NFL season that are going to study what happened, re-consult with the people that they already consult with and figure out, you know, what did we learn, how can we older it, should we older it, and how does that apply to us and what we have. But the Rams have one of the richest owners, they spared no expense in any aspect of their organization. So it's not like they just decided one day, hey, we're going to wait, go 72 hours before the game, they made a decision based on the best information they had, personal experience and science. So until I hear differently, until they hear differently, until anybody does, you know, we'll have to wait and see just now what this does in furthering this exploration of traveling over oceans to play pro football and what that does to the player mentally and physically and and where we proceed from here.

17:25Which had Kevin Harland and obviously you have your NFL, you know, helmet on right now, you're calling games already, you call the Oprah on Wednesday night, but you also call a lot NBA games and we're in waiting up here at Toronto on this Kauai Leonard situation, Kevin. But let's presume it goes through and Kauai as a Raptor based on what you know of Kauai and the projection of this upcoming season, a lot of change. LeBrons and Philly, Yannis is in Miami in the east in particular, the next one, the one the championship. But if Kauai is healthy and plays 65 games for the Raptors next year, what do you believe that means for them? How good do you think they could be with a healthy Kauai? Well, we saw an advancement last year and you get a guy like Leonard, his aura and you've witnessed it. You've tasted it firsthand with that championship and full of years ago. So we know what he means. I don't know that he's the same guy as he was then, but every once in a while and when it matters and when he's healthy, he can be what he once was at times.

18:35It may not be every night. And so to your point about 65 games, you can see it. And these guys are and he's a maniacal trainer. He's got a mind, you know, for the ages in terms of seeing the game being around the game, managing the game, helping teammates, helping, you know, teams he's on. I hope it works. I got to be honest. I want to get up there and do games. I like going to Toronto. I like him. Always respected him. I'm wondering a couple things in the aftermath of what happened in LA. It's still an ongoing thing, I think, to a degree. But you know, when when he left San Antonio, I recall and I don't have it in front of me because I'm so into the NFL right now in the start, but my recollection is there was a trust factor with him and the spurs medical staff on how they were handling his injuries.

19:37And my recollection is, is that his trust factor really shrunk. In other words, he began to limit who he was listening to and how he would be guided from that point on. He went to Toronto, won a championship and again, continued successful individual play, although injured a lot in LA. I think his group, his inner circle, his shrunk and his trusted, but that one person in that inner circle looks like God him in trouble. So I don't know where his head is in that world, but I think he can still play. He can still contribute. And while I may not be the headline guy, he can definitely be a major reason why you win and give a lot of texture to a team that he's evolving with some really bright. Young stars as the wraps have so I'm I'm I'm excited to see how this ends. I'm hopeful he gets up there and it really could be kind of a reincarnation of maybe not him being what he once was, but how he can help the team overall with what he possesses moved to that position or at least in that in that conversation again.

20:53So we're hoping for NFL season off and run in your back in the booth NBA season around the corner. Great Caving on as always, Kevin. Thank you for doing this. Thank you for at me on always a pleasure. Take care. You got Kevin Harlan joining us here in the Maple Toyota hotline. It's time to try to check out the Toyota Tacoma Toyota Tundra pickup trucks both available as hybrids. Maple Toyota in your Canada's one land of the Maple lot of mall. Can you be both like can can why be regarded as this like he's I've read a bunch of different things where he's like to fitness like he gets props for like. But can you also be that and only play 65 games or is that just that his age in the miles on this guy that's just what he brings to the table and it's unavoidable now I think it makes sense because of his age you know when seven years ago different story is it 28 or whatever you know that was. And he was coming up a major injury and you only played nine games a year before but now you get to 35 plus in the NBA you're not likely playing anywhere close to every night it just doesn't know how old is Kevin to rent isn't he 39 like he's got up there dude he would be yeah he's he was drafted in no six maybe yeah

22:10There's an old guard that's 30 seconds through these guys are almost done they're all at the end right yeah young stars are taken over you're right you're right I mean it like staff is going to retire a warrior likely but staff's coming to the end and LeBron's coming to the end and Durant like those have been the three that have kind of carried the league for 20 years 20 plus years and now it's she and you know Luke I guess in LA we'll see what he's got but I guess here. Do you think he's the type of player because I get the sense and it's not a shot but I think that he's just like like Nick Nurse told us that story where he's just like give me the damn ball and I'm I'm going to score the basketball do you view him as a guy like do you automatically point to Scotty Barnes and say watch Scotty Barnes take off with soon as Kauai gets here. I got it like is anyone gonna just latch on to Kauai and be able to score the basketball. I got a like is anyone going to just latch on to Kauai and be like they're like Devon Taze where they're just they take off and they're in stardom because of this guy. I don't know if I see him like that sure it's a good question. I mean they've got a lot of guys like Scotty Scotty's a guy they're not calling a ton of plays for what I wonder is like RJ Barrett is a guy had a great year RJ last year but RJ was is a score and a lot of games that they won when he was on the ball was going through him.

23:34So that's not really going to happen anymore of Kauai's here. You know so how does he adjust it's but it's good question like Scotty is going to have to team up with Kauai that's your plan those are your two big guys Barnes and Kauai Leonard and if they both can pop then you're going to win a lot of games. You can be able to beat a lot of teams because of the way they defend the two of them in particular. I'm still shocked that Kauai is unscathed in all of this. 700 grand that's not Dan Patrick was like beside himself what he was telling us he's like this guy got a slap on the this is coach cushion money to him. You know open your checking account there's 50 sheets sitting in there and you go hey where this come from it's like the reverse show hey right like it's not that money get there instead of where the money go. Yeah like I mean good good for good for the Raptors good for the city of Toronto but it is kind of outrageous. He was going like what is going on Kauai knew what was going on of course you have I would love to watch date line episode on this thing going down and just the behind the scenes how it was brought up.

24:44He gets a phone call going we were going to clip on this tree planting thing what do you want to do all of it I would love like a 30 for 30 on just like the vaccine stuff like the true information on this stuff because I find that fascinating like who made the first call on this I guarantee it was Uncle Dennis. Well Uncle Dennis is falling on the sword right but he's he's the the translator in the show how that call that you're a scumbag Uncle Dennis. Yeah you're the worst you're killing us all right I'll see you in you know you're two and what are they going to do it what are they going to do with them finally ban them from all the buildings and Kauai is going to disassociate publicly. It's not your change. That's going to be out of birthday barbecue. Yeah of course like what do you get off him. You can't exactly you can't legislate the Kauai can't have interaction with Uncle Dennis of course you can. Yeah. Just you're not going to see him in the building anymore.

Hi this is Dave Roberts heading into summer without a medical emergency kit. That's a risk. Summer colds can linger and getting sick on vacation can derail everything.

26:46That's why everyone needs a medical emergency kit. It includes doctor prescribed medications to treat common and serious illnesses so if you wake up sick at home or on the road you already have what you need. It's like having an urgent care and pharmacy at home say $45 with code blue at urgent care kit dot com slash blue urgent care kit dot com slash blue. All right overdrive continues powered by a fandule didn't think I was up on the screen there. That was a quick one for Joe from the bridge usually that overdrive things up there for a while. I was trying to find something online I couldn't find it was getting a little bit a little bit off track there but it's all good. Good to see you guys thanks to Kevin Harlan for joining us so we're going to get to our picks here in a few minutes and oh you'll obviously be picking for your team. I will be picking for my team and it's not been a good start. I mean full disclosure it hasn't been a great start you guys picked a winner and Alice brother and I were on the ramps and they got destroyed last night.

27:48Yeah it is. It's not a big deal we talked about there's been a lot of swings but if you have one of those weekends where you get dummyed you're in concern mode very early. Very early big time you do not want that. Yeah I mean you know we do the overreaction Monday and there's some great great games in the NFL I mean great great games the Monday nighters Kansas City against Denver that's an amazing week one game bills at Houston is a great great game Ravens Colts has the chance to be a really good game. You know like there so there's going to be teams in this league that have high expectations that are going to be oh and one. Danny Dimes still the cube like is he still coming off an injury last time I checked I believe he's ready to go. But do you remember they started to see they're the best team to lead the first seven or eight weeks dude I know what are they going to do do they still have the kid there Richardson like are they going to move it like. No he's he's got no future ultimately I mean so he quit on his team the one time and they just said your careers over basically yeah because remember they brought in Danny Dimes.

28:58I know that but they just said you are you'll never play again well I mean effectively they may have waved him I'd have to look that up but I I don't get the impression there is any market for Anthony Richardson in a league and not just because he did that which was unheard I've never seen a quarterback pull himself from a play like I've never seen that but JP San he is the back up there JJ McCarthy I believe is the third stringer in Minnesota. Third stringer and Carson went is ahead of him that's how bad that pick was and it cost the GM the draft of his job well dude as much as he was dynamite at Michigan did you not look at him and say there's just something that's just too small about that guy yes you know what I mean like he just he look like a kid. Yeah well yeah he did that that's the issue right now that's right well you got hurt and then last year he just didn't have it and there were some things that he would say and kind of body language like that's a position that you you are constantly being watched you know we were talking about leadership early this hour and Dylan Larkin and him not being the captain anymore and big boys in pro sports as you guys know like they're all eyes are on them that's the fascinating thing about Vladie and what's going on.

30:17With him this year is you know everyone walks into that park looking for that guy you know like what is he going to play like tonight how's he going to perform what's the body language like and a quarterback is times 50 you know on top of what any other superstar pro sports is going to have to deal with because of the position you play in the importance of the sport and the amount of coverage it comes with it all the time. Think about the mental though like I'm not going to be as you guys in the listeners and act like I spent a bunch of time in the minors two games is all I did maybe even two days yeah but the mental idea of getting the call and you're going to the minors and it's like okay well if this doesn't work out then you're that guy who just didn't pan out so think of the transition for J.J. McCarthy starting quarter back of the Vikings and then it's like some injuries and then all the sudden Carson went shows up and is the number two guy and you're the third quarter back you're like I might not be he went from like the starting quarter back like the stud who wanted national championship to be in like I might be floating around as like a third string or for 10 years if I'm not that if yes it happens quick though in any league you get flushed out if you don't make it.

31:44Right away now there are high draft picks in that that get nine lives we see it in every sport. This guy bounces around I was a high draft pick or he did this in that early on you can flush out very quick the NFL I think you get steamrolled quicker now Jamie than back in the day like it seems like now teams make a judgment or an assessment on you and you're just you just disappear into ninja dust it is true but it just you know that's why I think it's fascinating to see some of the quarterbacks are really good now they're all like they're older they're veterans. They're all veteran guys you know like they they've kind of come into their own like I remember years ago Baker may feel like was what was he you know like first overall pick though you're right though what was he going to be but what was he like he was you know I there were questions haze you were always pretty hard on him going like what is this guy and all of that type turned out to be pretty damn good quarterback. What's get out of Cleveland you know that that's that's part of it get out of Cleveland it's usually pretty good for your career well that's the thing when you're a first round draft pick or highly tout you're going to get second opportunities for some other guys might not definitely

32:51Sam Donald Colour Murray's a great example that like Murray got outplayed he lost his job in Arizona because he didn't perform well wasn't just injuries or not being on the same page with the coach he didn't perform well but now he's a mini as a starter because he went first overall. So we'll give him a shot because we know he's got talent you know Sam Donald Baker may feel to a two is a great example two and fifth overall and now he's heard again in Atlanta and like that he gets the starting job and then the day before the season starts or whatever he's got muscle oblique spasms not good like that coach must want to just well did you see the punch him out. Yeah see the play where he threw it to kind of sat down like oh yeah well Tomlin lit him up. On Wednesday. I like. I don't think he cares about anything like Tomlin. Like it's absolutely good and listen we're in a different world in error but in the NFL and I think same thing in the NHL it's it's a it's a big boy sport you got to play through stuff you got to be tough like it just it's a part of the evaluation and it's a part of your reputation and I think they

34:04look at two and say we don't know if this guy wants to play if he does because like the idea that he's getting an opportunity part of it is because panic has been injured and may not be available in Atlanta but two was a trocius in Miami the last couple years like terrible and how is this guy still a starter in the league outside of the fact that fifth overall pick great collegiate player and had a couple of years there with McDaniel where an elite player and Daniel where analytically he put up numbers in Miami so someone's like I guess we'll give him a shot you know they're giving him a shot in Atlanta but he's I don't think he's going to take advantage of that. You know I fully expect that he'll barely play if he plays at all and if he does he won't play well and that'll be it to a won't be in the league from the next I think he's got maybe a year or two left I wouldn't be shocked at this. I'm borrowed time I would not be surprised and he's had some major injuries but this one you get a muscle issue as a quarterback when they really need you. Yeah, that's not going to go over so well. I think we have the time on stuff you want to hear. Tom Lennon to from a couple of nights ago here he is on NBC.

35:15You know Aaron Rogers so well he said that this is final season be hosting the Falcons to start out the season what do you expect to see from him. You know it's less about Aaron for me and it's the more about the quarterback on the other side his last visit in Pittsburgh didn't go. I was in the stadium that day they lost he got benched and so I think it's going to be a good day for Mike McCarty Patrick Graham and Pittsburgh steals and company. So he's talking about two of them playing Atlanta. I would say destroy them but I mean it's anecdotal evidence of him basically saying if you're a head coach and you're going up against a guy like two of you like this is great. Yeah, this is very good for us absolutely. All right the picks you guys are on the clock this we got three tough games here man. Wow two tough games. I think we had to there were some weird games man we had to get our survivor picks and it was like some dooses where you're like I know. I know there's like some big but we're not I don't know if we're going three and oh right out of the game.

36:18Let me just tell you the last three or four years we've always got one pumped right out the first week you get one wing clipped early in a game that you shouldn't lose but bills Texans bills are minus one and a half at Houston you guys are on the clock who is team own Wilson taking well you guys saw earlier in the week how I always defer and I love Josh Allen he is my guy he's my guy but my parts we had a long long discussion about this and we're going with the Texans wow CJ Stroud is your boy now dude he looks so brutal walking into training camp he looked out of shape he worried me but I'm not sure if I'm going to get a shot. They've worried me but I had a long discussion with my parts and we're going to take the Texans that defense we think they're going to go crazy yep cause some problems I hear pick the Texans I don't think it's a bad pick you get plus points at home Houston's really good and the bills have had real troubles down there they've now has been saying it's all over TSN for

37:23they've been described it as the House of Horses yes they haven't they've lost six in a row I believe in Houston and the last time they won there was like 2009 or something it's been a long long time but don't you think now they're everybody who is a contrarian is going to go there do they that's what they're going to say right definitely and it's a big first impression for a coach like that's Joe Brady you're the offensive guy right forever McDermott was the defensive guy you knew he'd be going in there thinking this is going to be a war we got to win 17 14 your first game as the head coach is in Houston against that defense very challenging but I don't have an issue with being on Josh Allen at any point I wouldn't be shocked about I think I was he's my super boy he's my MVP favorite this year I can second year in a row yeah well yeah I mean staffer one last year he won two years ago but I pick him every year I mean I don't think he's going to finish his career with only one MVP I think it's too good right he's 30 years old he's in his prime he's got Brady's got DJ more and he stays healthy you know my homes I don't know is bro gonna be healthy is Lamar gonna be a

38:33healthy I just feel confident this guy's going to start 18 games you know like he's so big so hard to hit he's he's made of rubber like it seems like it's impossible to bring him down so I I'm I'm liking the odds on Josh Allen winning the MVP this year but that's all what we're doing here you guys are taking the Texans in the 1 p.m. slate Packers Vikings Vikings minus one and a half this is Hayes and bro I'm concerned about my pack Packers early with no Mike apart since no Josh Jacobs a potentially shaky offensive line I'm not a Kyler Murray guy though and I want I'm not either I was pushing backers here because I gotta see it to believe it with Murray but I gotta let Al's brother you know he's got a fly I gotta let Al's brother extend the wings and flag I gotta give him some freedom he is pushing heavy on the Vikings at home dude if you do this I swear to God you'll regret it man you are gonna take the bikes well Brian Flores as Luke always says and I'll

39:40brother very aggressive with the pass rush with the blitz possibly shaky oh line if there's no run game to save Jordan love we're on the Vikings minus one and a half I'm saying to that I'll tell you what that one I know what that one there is that one there's a friendship dendr is it got back that goes south I know you'll just want to strangle yeah it's got potential to put the wedding on ice you know like I was brother and I gonna have to have a conversation soon about possibly moving the day in the wedding because so it was like a boardroom scouting table where he was like pounding his fists saying you gotta give me this one yeah I know this one well he's looking at again it's on the roads the divisional game it's a tough game the packers or line is in question right now like anyone tracking the packers are aware of that there's there's some concerns about the offensive line Jacob's not playing Parsons not playing and the Vikings are great defense like they could be a top five defense in the

40:43league they got great weapons if Murray doesn't turn the ball over I think they can score points I think Jordan loves got the chance to have a big big year I really do but I think the way they're gonna win he's gonna have to have a great night like he's gonna have to dismantle Minnesota and that defense with Brian Flores calling the games tough Al's brothers pretty adamant again I gotta let him have some freedom I gotta let him be all grown up and I gotta let him breathe here I came around to it and I'm hedging because there's a world where the packers maybe they cover maybe they win I can handle that so I don't know what it is about your boy your quarterback and please Joe Bowen and your dad and yourself don't text me I don't know like he's got to do it before I'm gonna yeah he's got the contract and they obviously saw something in him after not a lot of playing time but he's arrived though I just I don't know there's something about him he's got his moments yes he's got he yeah listen I he's got a great arm and he can dance in the

41:44pocket he can move he's got talent they've had a drop issue drops issues in the past the wide receivers haven't been great and I'm still concerned a little bit about the receivers but I'm with you he's got to have a platform season like if you're gonna be like a legit quarterback from 15 years with a team you're gonna be that guy you gotta be that guy and there's gotta be like seasons of your career where you look at it and say that was the best he's played and I think it's got to happen this year where he's got to be like kind of chasing MVP caliber stuff I don't know if you can do that he's not a top five guy but could he be top down I think so absolutely all right the Sunday nighter Giants Cowboys John Harbour making his debut as the head coach of the Giants Cowboys minus two and a half this game in New York City or in New Jersey I guess how about them Cowboys that's all I'm gonna say that's how I'm gonna say Cowboys say wow Cowboys big how many times have you seen it

42:45in the beginning of a season where the Cowboys just explode and go nuts yeah they like New York and they just drill a couple teams and everybody jumps on the bandwagon Pierre LeBron Chris Johnston D-Roh all of them Gleiny Sheeler they jump on the Cowboys bandwagon and then they just disappoint but I like a great early start in New York back press God's gonna be slinging it I think he's gonna play well I think he's gonna have a good season you know the Giants are they're one of those teams like with Harbour there Jackson Dord I just can't get a read on him you know I cannot get a read on the weapons his neighbors I don't know if he's playing if he is what's his status coming off injury scataboo what's what's he all about what's he's still in the back dude how about scataboo I think he came back from like his injury and one of his first I don't know what type I don't know if it was like an on field thing or an appearance he did a back flip right did you see how stupid that was

43:45like if you're the coach and you saw that you'd be like really dude you just blew your knee out and your first moves a back flip cam scataboo he's a different cat scataboo but we're on the Giants I guess I was brother and I all right there you go the picks are in yeah lock it in okay I don't see they want concerns me that's the only one that concerns me green Bay yeah I know me too me too new I'm listen I hate betting against them I do and I I got to let him fly I got to let else brother I got it you know he spread the wings man let him fly let him breathe he's adamant so we're on it all right best bet still to come we've got a quick update John Chikers speaking to some media about Max Domey we'll tell you about that next hey sports fans Dennis Robyn here talking about my boys at bet us calm my only sportsbook in casino it's big time baby get rewards same game parlay's live in game betting and a 200 percent welcome bonus up to 3,000 bucks play
