Oh, welcome, everyone to the sports gambling podcast. I'm Sean. Stagging the money.

Great. What's my partner and picks Ryan, real money, Kramer. What's happening? Kramer.

Update three out of country. Starting to show the signs of needing a hydration and need

to get back in country. Joining us as always to talk United football, the spring football

advocate, the host of the United football gambling podcast, COVID hit. Hey, pick, done.

What's happening, Colby? Good night, my another, another year, another year in the books.

I didn't think we get this far. So we're going to catch the bets. The UFL gambling podcast show,

the pull back the curtain was definitely on the bubble. But you know, spring football fever,

we had to, we had to bring it back. And ironically, the show is called the UFL for United football

league because Kramer, I was watching the first regular season episode of the UFL gambling

podcast. They were, that was a divided football podcast. If I've ever heard one, Colby, just bad

mountain, the league left and right with these, with these AI songs, just completely trashing the

league. And meanwhile, Jaymark is spring, a true spring football fan was, was just, uh,

apoplectic, I would say. Well, it got, it got, uh, you know, it got, uh, what I don't want to say,

I mean, it was a little argumentative, uh, in the, uh, watching, I got dragged into it because

basically Jaymark said, yeah, hey, don't play the song. Then Colby goes, oh, Sean likes the song.

We got to play throwing me under the bus. No, no, no, here's what happened. Me and you had

shared the song a bunch of times and then I sent it to them in Slack yesterday.

And Jaymark saying, well, we, I don't think we should talk bad about the league. I'm like,

bad about the league. I'm like, what have they done good for us to talk about?

Like, I mean, look, I love spring football more than anybody. I have a fucking Houston gamblers helmet.

All right. Yeah, I mean, like, so, and then he's like, I just don't think we should do that.

And CJ kind of backed him. And then I'm sitting there like, dude, you gotta be honest to your

fucking listeners. If it's shitty, it's shitty. All right. I mean, what am I missing here? Like,

so we were going back and forth on that. Yeah. The funniest stuff to come out of the UFL off season.

Once again, they get rid of some teams, bring in new teams, classic three card money.

Don't, don't, don't, you know, it's going to get pinned down if you don't have a fixed location here.

And I'm sure there's again, if you're, if you're crossing state lines, I always thought, you know,

they told you, hey, the, the, we're all playing the games in one hub to it's a cost saving measure.

But really, these guys behind the scenes, they know you cross interstate lines. Then it becomes

a felony. So if you can keep it in one state where they probably know some guy, the fact that

of all the drama that we've been through with this, this, this, this league that just won't die.

And I love it. It's like a, it's like a, it's like an abusive relative. You just got to stick

with it. You'll figure it out. I mean, they're talking about expansion. They were, they're talking

new. 32 teams by, by, by 2035. That's nine years. I was watching this Dean Blan Dino video. And he,

and he's like, as the, as the experimental training ground for football, we, we used to use the

college pass interference football rule where, hey, if it's a 40 yard pass interference,

it maxes out of 15 yards. We're shaking things up. We're changing things this year.

If it is a pass interference, that's 40 yards. Oh, it's a 40 yard penalty. Like he,

like he, like he found the care for cancer, like he invented something. Hey, you're switching the

rules back to the, the pro pass interference rules. Hi. Well, I mean, I, I, I, I don't know this

to be fact, but I would say you can probably read into skip holds and bob stupes resigning.

I would just assume, I mean, they keep changing the rules every fucking year. I mean, this year,

I don't know about you guys. Was it, was it, was it resigned? Were they forced out? My guess is,

they, they brought it to one that was cheaper because the league pays all, there's no, it's not like,

you know, our buddy, Dan Snyder, it's not like random individuals own the team. The league

owns all the teams. So the leagues are paying all these coaches salaries. And I like everything.

Coaches, it comes back to Caching. So I'm guessing these, you know, story coaches didn't want to,

didn't want to coach for less. And if you're, if you're holds, how many titles does he want?

Yeah, a lot. And if you include the USFL variation, but like the, like most of the coaches,

they hired aren't actual coaches. They're just players. So yeah, all right. Let's talk about this.

For this, this classic corporate research. So here's what we do, right? So we, we've already

covered the reason this is a hilarious script. But step one, well, if you stick around in one

place for too long, people will see that you're a failure. And then how are you not losing money?

So let's move to some new cities. Step one, step two, let's juffle around.

I like that idea, right? Right? What do we do? Comfort corporations, they love to let,

you know, every six to 12 months, let's lay off some people so we can show cost savings because

that's how we, we show the stockholders that we're growing. And, you know, me, so what do you,

let's analyze the coaches real quick. There's only eight teams. So this won't take very long.

You get rid of one of one of the greatest coaches in the history of spring football. And

with the Birmingham stallions and skip holds. And what do you do? What do you, what do you do here?

Oh, yeah, it makes total sense. Let's get a quarterback who just played in the league last year in

AJ McCarran. Oh, by the way, he also is a legendary Alabama player. So that, that should play well.

No one's going to, no one's going to be mad, right? No, no controversy there. Move along.

Now we have the aviators. They're a new team, right? So no real fan base to get mad.

Anyway, but just in case they do, let's make an Ohio State Buckeye the coach. Ted Ken,

you doing anything right now? Cool. And by the way, I am intrigued by this one because Todd Haley

very much a firecracker off on the coordinator. Then we go over the Dallas Renegades who, you know,

say what you will about then are Arlington Dallas, whatever they're going by nowadays.

Okay, they didn't have a great situation. Rick Newvisal, he's a real coach. What's,

what's he been doing? Oh, that's right. He's been sitting in the booth at CBS Sports Network.

And no offense. Anyone works there. Perhaps he's getting a pay bump by going to coach football

in the UofL here. Then you have the battle hawks. Coo-caw. Great franchise. They had a pretty decent

coach, right? Tony meatballs. What? Oh, no, he's not there anymore. They had to reassign him because,

I don't know, maybe his contract. Maybe he's got a no-show clause. But, you know, let's just slide

in a old St. Louis Ram and Ricky Prole. No one will get mad at that, right? He's a legendary guy.

And then you go to the gamblers. This is the one that makes the least. Well, Kevin, someone was so,

so bad. They're like, are you still available? Really? Come on down. Let's get this thing going.

I do like it. The gamblers. At least he has credits though. Like, yeah, at least,

most of the guys coached. Yeah. This is so disappointing. It's just, it's, look, I went to go get,

I didn't stay fully in the UofL news this off season. Mainly because, mainly because I just

thought the product was so bad last year that I was like, in the year before that, I was like,

okay, there's no way they're going to have a league this year. And then when we go to go do this

thing, I dive into, and I'm like, this is like, what? It reminds me, the coaching stuff reminds me,

wherever the cults just said, fuck it. Let's make Jeff Saturday, the intern.

Well, it gets better because the, which shout out to the great city of Louisville for having

a team now, the Kings. But, you know, I dare you, I dare you to name an NFL team that Chris Redman

played for. I mean, I know this, but I'm saying, yeah, Falcons, he was actually pretty fire at

Louisville, throwing the ball around. But again, no one's going to get mad. Let's bring in this

legendary Louisville quarterback. But in that one up, the storm, all right, this is a little bit

racist, but you take the Italian guy, you send him down to Florida and you give him a new outfit.

I mean, what are we doing here? You want to talk about why this leagues are griffed? One coach

literally left a successful situation to go start a new franchise. It makes no sense. And then,

of course, the defenders, Shannon Harris, I guess, sticking around almost pretty sad to say,

he might be the best coach in the NFL. What's crazy is if you're trying to really do this.

Like, I heard this guy's approach for like the new guy that brought that bought into this

from vitamin water, right? Wouldn't you like the, the benefit of having Bob Stubes and skip holds

and even some Len or some of the other coaches that have been in this league is that you know,

they're going to bring in what if what a real football environment should be, right? Like,

coach. Yeah, they know how to run a training. Yes. Yes. Think about this. There's no off-season

program for these guys. For the most part, there's, there's very little continuity. I mean,

half the teams are new. So this is when you need like a, what the fuck's Jeff Fisher doing?

Get him a gig. Yes, Mike Nolan, Mike Nolan, like, and and season head coaches who know how to run

a practice, know how to install a playbook in how many weeks did they have to practice like two

week? Well, and, and they have a sample size, Sean, of Tarell Buckley, who they just threw

back there, right? Heinz Ward, they just threw back there. Rod Woodson, right? And they're all

terrible. And it's going to be great for the unders because the unders, Kramer, I don't know where

you got these totals, but they're, they're almost, they're all, they're like all in the low 40s.

These teams have not had any sort of preseason. And they're all, for the most part, installing new

offenses, even the teams with some continuity of players, they're starting new quarterbacks.

Well, King has been dethroned. Lewis Perez is gone.

Oh, yeah, he's not a roster, but he's not starting. But like,

they, they, they in one capacity, they, they listened to, I think what we said on the show or

our show over the years, we said, why are they playing these gigantic venues? So now they're playing

at a lot of MLS venues or like soccer venues, if it's not, I'm less, which we've been ringing

that that bell for a while, get out of the pro markets, go into Louisville, go into Omaha,

go into Boise, wherever, right? And try to, try to play close to a downtown. That's another thing

I would say. So like, people could just go bar hopping. Yeah, you need, yeah. It's like,

it's a comedy club thing, right? You need, you're better off in a location where someone can

stumble in and enjoy your product. And that, if you're the UFL, that's what you're going for.

You're either going to do one or two things. You're going to do like the lacrosse move of like,

let's have a kids weekend and camps and all this crap, or, which that would be a great angle,

right? You're trying to grow the game, have a bunch of, you know, tackle football, like, you know,

like a UFL experience, or yeah, I got distracted because I have Jeff Fisher's,

Victor Wikipedia page up. I didn't want to, he is busy. He is the commissioner of arena football

right now. So, um, they're paying better than the UFL. Um, but better, I mean, check as soon as

you get it. Colby, you, you joke, but you have, I mean, I, Sean was right to point this out.

It is a corporation that owns all the teams. There is no incentive, unlike a real sports league,

for a franchise to pay up on a coach. And all the other leagues across the entire world,

there's no cost control measures around coaches. You, you, yeah,

well, you don't want to pam a lot. So you're just, you're, you're, you're taking this giant

grab bag like, uh, white tiger's army men, uh, the plastic figures, you're just tossing them in

there. You need a really good coach to organize the formations. Hey, put the tank, but hey,

this, the artillery guys go behind the infantry men. Like otherwise, it's going to be a total

shit show. So I, I'm looking at whatever information we got, which is few and far between,

I can fucking idiots. Put out a fucking depth chart. You have, you have, you have,

you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have to do it by hand. Uh, like, put out a

fucking depth chart. Tell us who's starting. Give us fucking injury reports. Like, these are easy

things you could do. That would be a good win for us people doing content for free. Even though

you had a PR guy who hated our guts. I think they're planning on doing that. But then, um,

they blew their budget on the Dean Blan Dino explains football video series.

ludicrous is. And remember they, they, they don't try like one of the things that's unbelievable.

And you can tell this is corporately owned. And this is, I think the biggest, the biggest problem

with this league. If, if, if any league is ever going to be corporately owned is, or like,

solely owned, everyone owns the whole team, the whole league, um, is they don't try to even connect

with their fans. They don't hit like local radio. They don't hit like, remember last year,

they got rid of the beer snake early on. Remember that? Like, it's like, you're the one thing

that is appealing to you. Like, what is it? Is it at a control? There's too many cuts. You're

selling too much beer. You might say, God forbid you get a crowd and they have a good time.

Right? So like, they've done everything in their power to me to like, try to make this a failure.

So like, I'm fascinated that it's still here. Remember, we've had two straight years,

not one, two straight years of playoff games that have gotten canceled because of a high school

graduation. Come on. That's a once in a lifetime thing. I graduated from high school. They,

they fixed the glitch called me. Now they won't be playing in this. We got rid of the team.

We got rid of the team. Now, just the Michigan Panther, use that on our thumbnail.

That is a great point. We're going to have to break into on that. He's a Michigan guy.

They don't have a team anymore. We can't do it. They solved their problem with their playoff

scheduling by just getting rid of the team. Well, then silver dome, silver dome, you had to put a

$200 deposit on that stadium and literally have that kind of ludicrous is a green room.

It's not going to fill itself out. We sidebar, I say you a ludicrous tweet, Kramer.

Also, we got it. We got to play the song. The song addresses a number of issues.

Colby's turned into a AI musical artist.

And I have two of them on the sound machine. I'm trying to remember which one you liked more

because the third remix. Okay. Okay. Eight different versions on the song.

Like the Chinese democracy with Colby just keep adjusting these songs.

Here we go. Here we go right here. We've worked, and Sean asked me to work on this project

back in July. So we've put this together. It took a lot of work, but ask your local club DJs

to play this. Let's go.

Hey, all games just fade away because high school graduation plays off side of trains.

They stack the deck. We even made spit teams of wreck. It's the UFL. Yeah.

Blink podcast. Undying on the nose. Where the pros will keep the bullshit.

It's all has the blending. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

This is give me football through and through the UFL.

Gambin screen. When nothing's ever what it seems. From the dark shit, kick off.

Shit. Four point field goal. We got the man in the box breaking down.

I'm also coaching decisions while Jay Marx says Brian Scott can start for every team.

If the league had any wisdom, don't do those. This is football.

Praise the head of PR is UFL, Jeff Andy Sussin.

Oh, man, that's the first.

It's a head to do ain't times. It can't catch a plan. I want to show up on the

players. I'll fed up biggest movie star in the lack and get to use them.

I'm going to try to tell you who's going to win the game.

Layout games just fade away because high school graduation plays off side of

the room. Brandy, no, no, I love. I love that. I love

a blend. You know, I was like, give me more blend, you know, of course,

has blend, you know, ever been shouted out in a song before. No way.

No, fuck it away. What is this? I'm seeing it here.

Yeah, I don't know. Sean sent me a ludicrous story about ludicrous.

Ludicrous Instagram post. It was viral. Basically, I'll read it.

Someone, I guess, was waiting on him about five years ago.

I worked in a restaurant and ludicrous came in ordered spring rolls and sent the back.

When I apologized, he said, don't apologize.

Spring rolls are unpredictable.

I think it happens.

So maybe, maybe that's where the budget's going to.

They got to get the right spring rolls.

Well, we had pizza gate remember that.

I mean, no, this is where this is where it's going.

I'll let me just put this on the screen.

DJ Khaled Gucci, Maine, how do they have money for DJ Khaled?

That guy doesn't work cheap.

That's why I probably holds walked out.

No, DJ Khaled's getting the bag.

Ludicrous, I got a great offense.

I don't want this offense.

Khaled, I mean, ludicrous, he's in the, he's in these lows, commercials.

I mean, what do you think ludicrous is, he's getting, he's got to be getting like 10K.

I think this is going to move the needle as insane.

It, it feels like the, the last, the presidential campaign, where they're just rolling out.

They're paying all this money for artists because they think that's going to get some votes.

When I would say this, I also like, how about we take the energy they're putting towards these

graphics and build a depth chart, injury report.

Khaled's just playing my god.

So just real quick, you like this lake.

It is fun to gamble on and just to be clear, it's not just the opening weekend.

Every team has a home opener where they're having some sort.

This, here's what I'm guessing, they spent at least like three games worth of player salary

on a performance that is going to be in front of a comically small amount of people.

As Colby puts on the Houston gambler's helmet.

Here's the question, what is going to be that price?

Like, so let's say ludicrous gets to 10 grand, seems incredibly low.

Whatever number, but let's say he gets 10 grand.

And he's playing in front of less than 10,000 people.

It feels like a dollar a person's not ever give a free beer in a hot dog.

I mean, do you think that the UFL people are trying to tell ludicrous, hey,

Luda, this is a great way to get your great way to get your music back on the airwaves.

People start downloads and classic albums, ludicrous and DJ Khaled.

He's in a bunch of shows, these guy like Gucci man in Wale.

Maybe those guys need the money, but a DJ Khaled and ludicrous, I think are doing

fairly well. Like ludicrous was in Fast and Furious movies.

He's not been out of bed for free.

That's the connection.

The rocks like, dude, you got to do this for me.

I'll put you in the next one.

The rock comes when he goes, one last job, Luda.

We're all the marvels.

We're going to boost some cars.

No, even worse.

We're playing a Birmingham stallions after.

All right, I have some data on ludicrous's performances.

His average, and I'll let me get this on.

So let's go back to this guy.

His average, all right.

His average cost for a private event and a corporate performance per the internet.

So I'm not going to bet this too hard.

It's between $500,000 and $500,000.

And then so would you say that's for?

This is ludicrous.

Now his appearance fee for essentially a small set at a graduation was 100K in 2012.

This is documented on public record because it was a public university.

I mean, I'm saying he's getting at least 10K.

He's not getting out of bed.

He's, he's raking in the low's voice over money.

He's, he's in commercials.

He's a brand ambassador.

I mean, come on.

He's getting 10K at least and travel and spring rolls in his green room.

No wonder a hold said I'm out.

Yeah, it's tips.

He's like, I got a national championship.

What the fuck are you doing here?

Can't pay the entire season.

They won't even reload my meal.

Okay, so Georgia in the year 2016, Georgia paid for this is a Georgia football game.

It looks like so packed house, 100,000, whatever, 90,000 people, he got paid

between 65 and 85K for a 15 minute half time show.

Yeah, now that seems more realistic.

Your $10,000 number does feels like a guy that's only been in maybe one of the fast and

the furious, not a reoccurring character.

I'm saying 10K is the lowest possible number.

I'm saying he's getting at least 10K.

I mean, there's so many things to talk about.

You know, I take that back.

He got $65,000 for a Georgia spring game,

which had way more fans than any of these games.

I love that they have money for a half time show to spring it.

My God.

That was back in 2016 too.

So that was pretty legal cheating.

Well, that's probably why the Georgia pay them is they had big day.

They couldn't report this money.

Like we got to get someone here for the spring game.

See five, but all the way out.

Why don't you leave 10K in the slacker?

But I mean, what else is on this list?

Nelly, are you kidding me?

I doubt Nelly is a cheat back.

No, he just hit that jackpot.

We talked about

I got to pull up that.

Sorry.

My God.

This league is so fun.

Maybe he needs so what did he win?

Okay.

He was a ret.

Nelly was arrested.

This was really bullshit.

He got they basically ran his,

they said he wouldn't they wouldn't pay him because he had a warrant.

They called the cops.

Yeah, he was arrested at 4.45 am in charge with having four ecstasy pills.

Now the whole

basically he hit a he was at a casino.

He hit some crazy jackpot on the slot machine and they go,

oh, hey, we're going to have to take in the back office to fill out the paperwork.

Okay, you know, normally they bring the hand pay out to you directly,

but it was a big win.

You know, they need your tax info fine.

They decided to run a background check and he had some sort of like bullshit

traffic violation that he didn't show up for and it was and then they decided to arrest him

and basically pat him down and then they found the ecstasy pills.

So he he hit on a 50 K slot jackpot and then they were trying to pay him

outstanding.

He might have he might have the same problem with this getting paid for this performance.

He and this is this is the worst part.

He initially thought it was a prank when he was handcuffed to a chair.

He probably thought this was like, you know, Ashton Kutcher was about to jump out.

He was just a fucking heavy super racist trooper that wrote him up.

So that was a wild story.

But now he's getting 50 K at the slot machine.

They better better get something to do some for show up here.

Yeah, I'm sorry while you were talking, I was just running through all these artists.

I'm going to say that if they get the biggest discount they're ever going to get in their life,

I half of these guys are getting 50 K to walk in the door and the other half are getting

at least 10 K. They don't have that money.

Yeah, I don't remember.

I already feel you could have hired good coaches and had a much better product on the field.

Yeah, come on, you know, like this is going to be really rough, I think.

I really do.

Like, yeah, it's a TV product.

Like, yeah, it'll be good if you get the fans going and whatever.

But the only chance this league has of growing is,

hey, give it, give people interest to gamble on this.

Make it look good on TV, having fans there certainly helps.

But paying all this money for all these halftime acts isn't going to move the needle.

That's something you do.

Like, hey, when you're the Super Bowl or the Georgia Spring Game and you got money out your ass,

my god, this is, this is just insane.

Can we talk about like another thing that just drives me crazy?

So like the rule changes here.

Oh, yeah, rule changes.

Well, I know that you, me and you have had fun with Curtis Johnson who is the rough

next slash gambler's coach the past couple of years who just couldn't fathom going for a fourth

and two. Yeah. Couldn't fathom going for a fourth and two at the opposing team for

40 yard line. Say, I'll just pun it.

But one thing I hate is when rulebooks go in or when you basically try to overrule

what the sport is, the strategy.

They may, they're making it a requirement.

You have to go for it on fourth downs past the 50 yard line, which I can't stand, right?

And that includes, I believe, if they get sacked over the 50, right?

Like that basically once you cross the 50, you can no longer pun.

Now, for the most part, that's probably good strategy, but I'm with Colby.

It shouldn't be a rule that coaches should be able to make that decision.

Yes. And lame as it is, they should be able to make that decision.

And what if you're like, it just takes strategy out of the game.

Anytime you take strategy out of the game, it becomes worse.

Like, okay, I get it.

Maybe you interview some coaches that are more aggressive on fourth down, right?

Maybe you do that, but you shouldn't punt if you've crossed in your opponent's territory.

We're almost, for the majority of us, but if you're like on a backup quarterback,

so it's just, it doesn't need to be a rule.

It doesn't need to be a rule.

Now they also have a four point field goal.

How long do you have to kick the four point field goal?

60 yards are beyond, which is what they were, they were talking hilarious about this.

They were so in a way, you're better off if you have a fourth and 15,

like losing yards to have the four point field attempt.

Then well, like if you're like third and 15, yeah, I mean, sorry, third, third.

Yeah, I don't be great to someone if it's like third and long and they're at the 41.

Do they just kneel it?

See, if they have, but they never, they never have fun with the fun rules is the other thing.

Like they, they don't, there's not a coach who just goes, hey, I'm going to do the three point play

every single time. It's just right. And speaking of that, they made that shorter.

Right? They made that shorter.

I believe it was what the 12 yard line last year, I feel like it's the eight now.

Maybe it was 12 yard line two years ago, but it's now that they also,

what was the other one? Oh, one foot in bounds, one foot in bounds. So as much as,

which is hilarious because I don't like that, like I thought, I prefer the college pass

interference. I don't like the college one foot. I'd rather have two feet in, but so the

Blanino's video, what you're telling me about, which I didn't see, it's like you tell,

now it's a 40 yard pass interference, but guess what? Now you have just one foot in bounds.

I don't know, they kind of counterbalance each other to me, but yeah, I just wish,

it's too much radical movement year by year. I bet you that's another reason why holds the

soups are like, what the fuck, man? Like what are we doing each year? We're trying to reset

fucking rules left and right. I just don't like them getting to involved with it and clearly they are.

Yeah, I mean, they also have this campaign about not getting involved, not

involved being involved in the outcome of the game. I think and no push push,

even though no one did the push push in this league. That's another just great UFL thing,

where everyone was up in arms last year in the NFL with the Eagles in the push push. All the

sudden, the Eagles push push becomes less effective. Now no one even suggests that this super

quote unquote unsafe play last year. Oh, now Josh Allen runs it, the white quarterback. Okay,

we don't care about all of a sudden this, this play is super safe, but UFL decides the

bandit. It's great. Oh, I'd go further than that. I mean, there were fumbles that weren't,

there was a clear problem officiating the push push this year in the NFL more so than the previous

year when they wanted to ban it. And I think, well, I think also this is the NFL invoking some power

on something. And or maybe this is the UFL trying to please daddy. Like, look, we banned the

toast pro toast push. I think for the most part, these rules don't matter. That's what I,

when I saw this, like going forward to fort down, I think it's pretty like just why get your hands

in on the game. It's a dumb rule. But I think for the most part, these all wreaked as like,

like superficial splashy, like, whoa, you know, like it's like putting the four point spot

on the basketball court. It's like, yeah, that's mostly stupid. It's probably not going to even

come into play much. All right. We got to, we got to watch this blandino video real quick.

Kramer, I really think you're going to, do we, do we worry? Are we worried? Are we worried?

They're going to UFOs coming after us? No, it's got eight likes. It's got eight likes, right?

This is, this is actually fair use. We're providing. Yeah. And also they put it out on social

media. I'm not worried about Dean Blan Dino us. We're, we're reacting to news and providing our

commentary, which is covered. And we put them in a song. He should love us. Yeah. I mean,

all right. Hold on. We're going to be like Afro man, where Dean Blan Dino suits us. And then

we go to trial. Dean Blan Dino ate our 11 pound cake. That would be bad. Yeah. Man,

it's just a bummer like that. I just don't think you should get when you're affecting the

strategy of the game. Hey, all that being said to Kramer's point, I don't think these rules

make that much of a difference. And we still got football to gamble on.

Well, if you're watching a game, though, and it's like at the 30 yard line, you take a sack,

and you're at fourth and 18, and the fact that you can't kick a field goal and have to,

or you know, or have to go for it, you can't punt. That can happen. That actually probably will

happen at some point in this season. I think that's lame. You know, well, I can agree with you.

Yeah, I agree. I completely agree with you. I also don't think it's worth

like it just if it still feels like a splashy thing. All right, here we go with. Yeah.

The text of the video is hilarious. When it comes to defensive PI, if you make the foul,

you pay the price in yards. All right, are we ready?

It's hilarious. It's just he's explaining like we're just these, this is like me explaining

my wife what pass interference is. We're watching the UFL. We know what pass interference is.

But yes, play the clip. I'm Dean Blantino with United Football League, where we test,

I'm Dean Blantino with United Football League, where we test the future of football.

One of the changes we've made is how defensive pass the fairness is handled.

We tried the college rule, 15 yard maximum. But we said, you know what? If we want more score,

we have to go to the NFL rule and that's what we're doing. If you interfere with a receiver,

40 yards downfield, that's no longer a 15 yard penalty. That's a 40 yard penalty.

That receiver earned that 30, 40 yards. That's why we're making the change.

Wow. I'm deep. Graeme. Graeme breaking. Graeme breaking.

Of all that, this is what you're using your production time on to make this video explaining

pass interference. Ever just put out a tweet. Hey, we're going back to the NFL pass interference.

It's close. You don't need to get Dean Blantino on his off day.

edge in a league when I mean, I it's not really a joke, but I mean, if you don't have a J Mark

managing a depth chart for you across all eight teams, you have no idea. You have no idea who's

playing. Even when you think you know, like I'm sure J Mark was distraught and blown away by the

fact that our sweet, sweet spring spring, spring King Luis Perez is not getting the starting

nod to start the season. So all right. Let's have the Birmingham's die ends are taking on the

on draft Kings. Yeah. So a couple notes here. We didn't really get into this is my other part

where you have an opportunity to bring out new brands, right? Essentially, it's a brand

launch. And you're a football league. You are aware that there's a very popular brand around

gambling. Maybe you're not, but it's good for your sport to know that called draft Kings. Why

would you go with the same neon green and crown? Look, this is the this is brand confusion one

one. How about the storm, the Kings and the aviators? I mean,

you can't be you can't just you're so uncool. Like just take a little risk. All right,

a little risk. All right, you couldn't have been the thoroughbreds. You couldn't have been the

the like, there's you have eight fucking teams. You and them do not need to be horses.

We got a horse on horse man. Come on. Yeah. And also like Kings is in a good net. Kings is in

the LA Kings. Even that's not a great name. I'm fine with it because it's existed for a while,

but don't come to me with a new king name. Also again, going back to the draft Kings spoo. Like

this is ridiculous. Like any other color, like I call me help me correct me if I'm wrong, but

is Louisville known for their neon green in the city. They're not they probably should have done

red because there's a chance you're playing at that stadium next year if the league makes it next

year. Um, I mean, man, it's it's it's just so lame. Like the names are so lame. It's the run for

the roses, not for the run for the neon green highlighter. It's a it's a really bad effort and

they probably again, back to how they spend their money. They almost certainly hired a

consultant firm to help them name these teams, like a good corporation always does. Well,

you know what they should do that? You got to ask someone outside. Like I went to a couple games

last year of minor league baseball, right? I think minor league baseball actually has awesome

names that are fun and kind of can't be. And that's honestly what you're searching for in this

league identity. No one's going to remember the fucking Kings. All right. You go into a Kings

game. What? You know what I mean? Like, yeah, it's what makes the battle hawks are pretty like not a

bad name, right? It's a lit. It's not it's like it's not fit for the NFL, but it works in this kind

of thing, right? A little bit of that. It just is they phoned it in, man. I'll get to the other ones

in a second. But uh, all right. So let's let's pick the game because I was a little shocked to see

a couple things. Sean already mentioned the totals. I thought and I sat down and I legitimately

tried to analyze if these new rule changes would create more scoring. The the only one that

matters is the conversion attempts being pushed up a little bit. But I actually don't think it will

matter. And I actually, no, no, no, because Curtis Johnson pondered like 50 times from the 30.

There's a couple of coaches that now you're forced to go for it. So you might get some points there

just don't just on another play football on the opposing side of the field. You're forced to go

for it or kick a field goal. No, you're well, you can't punt is my point. Exactly. Yeah. What do

you think a conservative coach is now they're just going to kick long field goals with UFL kickers.

I don't think there's a huge change here. Anyway, what I was getting to is the totals in general

seem very high for a first week in a league with a bunch of new teams, a bunch of new coaches and

just in general week one 42 and a half the total here still also shocking to see these points

breads. Birmingham land four and a half minus two 45 in the money line Kings plus 200 might just high

level thoughts and I was I'll share the starting quarterback. So people know, but again, head coach

for the Birmingham stallions is now Ajie McCarran who was the starting quarterback for the battle

Hawks last season. And their starting quarterback is does anyone remember? Matt Brown former

Ole Miss Lane kiffing guy washed out of the NFL pretty quickly, but good UFL quarterback and on

Louisville side we have Chris Redman who again don't know much about his experience up at this point.

I got you. He was the all the quarterbacks coach of a high school for one year for one year in

Texas, but that's that's he's at least been a coach. He never been a coach. I don't even know.

I went footage that he was actually on the sidelines. They might have just gave him that credit.

Yeah. And you remember who's the quarterback for logo? Jason Pean who Jason Pean

rolled in for Kansas for a little bit. I I kind of think Jason Pean is the type of guy you might

want in a league like this. Am I crazy? No, I'm with you. I think you're looking for the athletic

quarterbacks for sure. I know we're going to talk DTR who's who's in the league now too. A little

bit. And I'm looking at his Russian sets 2023 47 carries 280 yards average in like six yards

of clip. Oh, he's fast. He's fast. He's an athlete. Yeah, compares a thoroughbred compared to

you know, what you got on the other side there with Matt Keral who does not have any sort of

wheels and they're making the stallions a four and a half point road favorite. I think four

and a half points is going to go a long way here. And I know Birmingham at least had the roster

previous years, but I think a lot of that was holds coaching him up. I think you have a guy who's

not only a never coached football game. And the four and a half point road favorite with Matt

Keral. I think we got to go Kings here as the home dog. Am I crazy? No, and here's why you should

take the Kings and you know, there's I'm going to play this for you. This guy because when you're

in East Carolina, you go for it every time or you don't coach in East Carolina. You don't come to

East Carolina. You don't play at East Carolina with a weak heart. Write it. He is the off of this

coordinator. He's like 70, but he actually knows what the fuck he's doing. He was a very good coach

at ECU. Was part of the Colorado teams back in the 80s that ended up winning national championships

was in the NFL for a while. And then he brought with them Jeff Jaguzinski, who Kramer might

remember as Boston College's coach that I believe won the ACC and beat Virginia Tech with Matt

Ryan. And he got fired for taking an interview with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They actually got

some guys that can coach. I don't they should be head coaches. This is what's even more crazy about

this league. You got two guys, you got two guys on the offensive staff that have more qualifications

than every other coach in the league just about. And that's a great point because, okay fine,

you put in for the salons, you put in AJ McCarrod, first time head coach of anything, first time

coaching period. Well, you're gonna just put them around some super seasoned offensive coordinators,

defensive coordinators, right? No, they have Tyler Sisky, first time OC Kevin Sherer, first time

DC. So there's not even to your point, Colby. Like, yeah, do I think. One of them was a podcaster.

One of them was a podcaster. I forget which one. I mean, Steve Logan and Jamie Sharper are

at least experienced coordinators who can work up a game plan. Have some idea what they're doing.

And this place is going to be lit. Like, what did I, we said this in the OG,

what was that one league that AAF all that shit? Like way back then, we've been covering spring

football for a while. It makes more sense in markets like this. It's going to work. It's going to work

in Louisville. It's going to work. I believe that the fans will show up. So yeah, this is

a money line play, dude. Money line. I actually like the over here just because I think that

offense is going to move for Louisville. No, I'm on the other end Louisville in the four-and-a-half

grammar. What are you doing? Oh, it's just so we're clear. Colby, this is just because he was the

coach of. No, he's the best DCU coach ever, I think. He hasn't coached it like seven years,

right? Like, he's Carolina. Yeah, but I do it. You don't, you don't lose that what you talk about.

I mean, I hear these guys haven't practiced together. The offenses are going to look like shit.

I haven't, let me look, I think you make a lot of good, and I wanted to Colby's lit factor here.

I did see that they put out some stats on ticket sales. Sorry, it doesn't explain it, but this

is ticket sales so far on. So to your point, Louisville doing all right.

Jay Mark was saying it's going to be sold out. How did this audience have that many tickets sold?

They don't have a home game. It's not for week one. It's like their kickoff series of all these

home games. Well, another thing is their stadium might not be that big. Like St. Louis is gigantic.

They don't sell at the upper deck, but it's a much bigger stadium, so you could probably

sell more tickets there. So yeah, but I look, I think Redmond is going to be able to move the ball.

Like I don't know about the defense, but the Sharper was a proven winner coached under a lot of

guys or you know, he's the only guy who has coached recently on any of the staffs. And Jason,

Jason Beam is going to get some, we see this all the time, PJ Walker. Why did what was PJ Walker

an amazing quarterback? And the UFL he was because he had some speed and he ran around. Like Jason

Beam anytime, anytime, anytime touchdown, Jason Beam rushing yards ladder, he's going to run a ton.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess. Am I miss my, am I misremembering that Matt Karella's had spring success?

Colby? No, he's been solid. He was like, but McGill is you thinking of Alex McGill who retired

is was like there. He was good. He wasn't horrible, but he was, he was like a platoon.

Jamar Smith was better in my opinion. Yeah, like he was getting, weren't they rotating who was

starting three different quarterbacks? Yeah. So this is a real shit show because I, and I do,

I, if they were playing anyone else, but Birmingham, I would just be leaning into this idea that,

I mean, what, what has Steve Logan been doing that he has you excited about his offense?

I just think I've always thought he was a really good coach. Like, so I just believe you still

haven't, especially he's team with Jaguzinski. Like I said, it was the head coach at Boston College.

Colby, he last had a full-time job in 2015 for a season with the Niners. Before that,

it was 2011 with the box. He coached the Birmingham iron offensive coordinator for a year and

20. I mean, his football changed that much. I mean, I know these Fufu rules have, but I'm saying,

it's still like his offense. I'm just saying like obviously, I'm taking the points here,

but both of these situations are horrible and honestly, I think we, there's a very good chance we

just end up watching the Birmingham offensive line dominate. But I'm taking the points because you

can't be laying three or four and a half points with the team that you do not know anything about.

I think it's very likely that all of these training camps are complete dog shit and none of these

teams are good. I even saw some of the scrimmages got canceled. I don't know why they, what's that?

COVID? Yeah, maybe. I don't know why they canceled them, but even that was getting canceled. So,

yeah, I mean, and I was actually going to make the comment before I feel like the rosters are

better than they ever had in terms of talent on the actual teams, but coaching is at a level that

is embarrassing. Do you remember what AJ McCurren said about why he chose to play UFL football for

the Battle Hawks because he wanted his kid to watch him play football. He enjoyed the feeling of

going home and his kid had getting to watch him play football. So what now that dream is so your kid

wants to watch you coach football? There's also an element here like I don't feel like AJ McCurren

retired on purpose. Like why would he not be playing quarterback anymore, Colby? So yeah, all of that

being said, give me the points, but I'm not, I'm not like you Colby. I'm not taking the over. That's

crazy. Over and a money line play. There's a money line play. You highlighted it. The Louisville

defense. We know that's the one coach who at least has grinded out coaching for the last decade.

And on the Birmingham side has their defense ever been bad? So yeah, I think under and give me the

points. Next up. And that by the way, that's 5 p.m. on Friday. This next one we have we were

51 minutes in doing the sweet 16. We're 50 minutes into the episode and we have not even mentioned

there. Well, now it was. Yes, yesterday was the was or I'm sorry, the this game was sweet 16.

They're going up against the elite eight here. Yeah. Well, again, the scheduling decisions by

this league have been some of the again, why are you not playing all these games at the same time

of the same thing? They should have done it right after the Super Bowl, in my opinion. When you

started at the heart of March, March, you could have all of February to get people into it.

It's starting to late in my opinion. Now, yeah, again, you're going head to head with college

basketball. I get it. Maybe you can't wait a couple of weeks because of your stadium leases or

whatever. This is season season. It's right. Breathe them down their neck. It's crazy. And also,

you could even like slide it in there. So people have something to watch before the basketball.

Well, especially like if they were started in February this year, what have made a lot of sense

because there's this thing called the World Cup. It starts in June. Oh, that's great. They're

going to go ahead. The playoffs are going to go ahead to head with the World Cup. That's a

as even even the best of the biggest football fan is probably going to get drawn away a little bit

by the World Cup there. All right. And nine a.m. kick. So we all right. We wake up. We watch football.

DC defender St. Louis Battle Hawks DC laying four and a half minus 205 in the money line.

St. Louis plus 170 44 and a half is the total to which I say, okay, what like we're

now last year week one just to give you some context. We had the Battle Hawks destroying the

Rough Nucks 31 to six. That's still under 44 and a half. We had the renegades destroying the

Brahmins. That one, which RIP Brahmins 30 to 9. That's under 44 and a half. We had the Michigan

Panthers in the Memphis Show Boats RIP to both those teams 26 to 12. Well, that's under 44 and a half.

And we had the Birmingham Stallions and the DC defenders two of the better defenses in the league

play to an 18 11 matchup. That's under 44 and a half. What are we doing here? Short of the

pass interference rule being called way too much in Dino, a bland Dino lying to us about the

refs involvement in the game. I see no reason for this game to get over 44 to half. So I'm obviously

going under. Now, this is a trickier one because normally I would say we got to keep taking the points

with these spreads. But as I just highlighted from week one last year, there were some blowouts.

Could this be one of those blowouts as clearly the Battle Hawks were targeted and ripped apart

like a monopoly? I don't know, Colby. What are we doing here? Give us the coaches and the quarterbacks

for the defenders. Well, the defenders are like the one team that's intact. They won the championship

last year. James was coming back. Yeah. At the same with their start running back Abram Smith

and a lot of their whiteouts like Ty Scott, you know, and those are the guy Seth Williams who played

for them last year. They're all back and they should be, I would imagine they're the odds on

favorite currently. But they're going to the filthy battle dome. And when you go to the filthy

battle dome, it is a new coach, Ricky Pearl. But I still think that crowd is noteworthy enough.

So I do think we should mention that is that, you know, Ricky Pearl. And by the way, they have

long john. So braided long john. So there's a quarterback. So the Battle Hawks are still kind of

intact. A keen butler of the whiteers he responds. So it's just 20 meatball Anthony Beck is now

with the with Orlando. But the roster is a lot of the same guys. Sailors, the running back Jacob

Sailors Blake Jackson, Jacob Pearson, the former June Jones white out there.

Ricky Pearl at least has some coaching experience. He was, he served as an offensive assistant

receivers head coach. He was part of the staff that went to Super Bowl 50 with the panthers.

Like he's, he's at least been in the coaching world. And he was the wide receivers coach

for the Battle Hawks just starting back to 2023. So he does have some coaching experience,

not completely green like some of these guys.

Well, and, and I like the, the Battle Hawks and the points here mainly because they lost,

a lot of these guys are back. They lost their conference final. They were the favorite to win the

DC destroyed them 36 to 18. I do think there's a scenario, even though I've never seen Ricky Pearl

be a head coach. I, it's not like I thought Anthony Beck was some great head coach.

If anything, I thought he kind of squandered the talent. So there's a shot that they're better

under under Ricky Pearl. So I'll take the points. Another thing is just the fact that that crowd,

you're getting that home crowd. Good as a home dog. I feel like that's, that's been one of the

the stronger spring trends in St. Louis's home dog. Now the case for DC is they do have some

continuity, same, same head coach, same quarterback, a lot of like similarities. But,

yeah, I would still go battle Hawks here in the under.

Give me St. Louis, plus four and a half. Colby, are you touching the total? What are you doing

on the toe? Look, I, I, I, I, I faded you guys last year. I'm doing it again for the most part.

I am going to take the over here. I think AJ Smith, COC, former June Jones guy,

they're going to move that wall around. What were the under's last year for two one and one,

but they were four, the totals. Yeah. Last year, the totals were, so 37 and a half of one under

37 one on, sorry, the loser was the Brahma's Renegades 37 and a 39 blowout. 37 and a half

one under for battle Hawks, Roughnecks 38 went under for, sorry, was the push for Panthers and

showboats and Stallion's defenders went way under the, the 41 total. And so, yeah, the 44 and a

half is a ridiculous number. Yeah. I'm with you. I, my note here is one, again, like I,

unless I have a good reason to, I'm going to take the points in the UFL. I'm going to take the

under. But my notice wasn't Tony Meatball a bad coach. Isn't that the, I feel like he was kind

of known for also, planting on fourth and two, but at his own, at the opposing 38. But,

Ricky Pearl, I have no idea if he's going to be good, but AJ Smith is an OC that has proven to

move the ball some in this little. That's my other now. You have a system, right? Like, what is

AJ Scythco? Scythco? Scythco? The run is shoot that they're going to be running. Yeah.

He's going to implement something that way. But when was he, was he not the coach under June

Jones when they had this success or my mistake? Yeah. He was the OC under June Jones when they

were undefeated with your original rough necks. Um, so, yeah, and Sean mentioned it, right?

Installing an offense is the most critical thing that's going to happen for these teams in a

short amount of time. So you at least have some experience there. And I completely spaced on this.

I meant to mention it with AJ McCarran. I didn't, did you guys know he was, he, he had a brief

stint as a political pendant. He was running for, he was, for, for a brief amount of time,

he was running for Lieutenant Governor of Alabama before dropping out to accept the Burmese

ham stallions. You got to be on the take then. You can't make this stuff up. Yeah. Hey,

guess what? You're going to run into four years. And in the meantime, go coach the stallions.

It's minor league politics. That it's finest. All right. So to me, also, this is like,

this is shaping up to a money line parlay for sure. You're telling me we can get two to one

and plus one 70 on two home dogs in a league where no one knows shit. Okay.

One PM on Saturday, we got the return of the Houston gamblers, RIP, my rough neck fever,

taking on, honestly, one of the teams they could have dropped in the Dallas renegades.

Renegades minus five and a half. They were Arlington. Now they're Dallas, even though they're

playing in Frisco, which is an hour away. Great water tower game. Great water tower game in

Frisco, minus 230 on the money line gamblers, plus one 90, 39 and a half is the total probably the

most appropriate total, which tells you that the Vegas odd makers are terrified of what these

offenses might bring to the table. For the gamblers, you might remember Kevin someone from his time

in I don't know what you would running one of the most intriguing stints at Texas A&M.

He was also really good at Houston. He was really good at Houston with the

Cougars. He was much better at Houston. That was probably the that was what got him the job at A&M.

And then on the other side, you have

Blanking on the renegades. New Heistle. Yeah, yeah, and which which went viral

earlier this season for wall on on break, hosting his studio show on CBS Sports Network,

getting really excited for his son, who was calling the plays for UCLA.

Um, I don't know what to think of this one. The New Heistle is a complete wild card to me,

because on one hand, he's like a real coach. He's coached up in some regard.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I mean, you're gonna give Steve Logan shit. New Heistle hasn't coached like

for fucking 10 years before. I was like, say, on the other hand, he's had one of these extreme

layoffs where he had the last time he coach was the 2019 Arizona hot shots, which I feel

old, because we were doing a podcast. Scooby Wright was on that team. Yeah. Yeah, that's a Scooby

right. Um, but someone as much as he's, yeah, I mean, he was on a staff in Maryland in 23, 24,

before that, he was in the out in the gamblers in 2022. He was at Alabama in 2021 as an analyst.

God knows what you're doing there. But he, he has some experience. And maybe you could talk

me into the renegades if they were starting Lewis Perez, aka the spring king. But they're not

Kobe. Why are they not starting Lewis Perez? And what are they doing at quarterback?

Yeah, they're starting Austin Reed out of Western, well, guy played everywhere in college.

Southern Illinois, West Florida, I believe. Yeah. And then Western Kentucky, the Hilltowers. But

this one's tough because this is actually probably the better coaching matchup as far as like

guys that have actually won games as a head coach. I mean, I think they're both kind of similar,

right? Yeah. Had some success at the college game. It's been a while. Someone has at least

coached more recently. And they do have spring football experience. So I think, I think in some

ways, there's not like a massive coaching mismatch. I just like the roster of Houston better, though.

When I think about the roster, I think Houston's roster is a little bit better, a little nervous

about the Nolan Henderson start. I thought they were going to go with the other kid, but

and shout out to they listened. They brought back the gamblers, a much cooler name than the rough

next. The problem is Sean, if you're looking here, I'm using both the better logos, the shitty

logo. They redid the gamblers that old gamblers logo. I believe if you talk to most like hardcore

football fans, they regard that as one of the best logos in the history of like football,

like the gamblers logo to ditch that criminal, criminal. I think the gamblers roster is better,

just but I it is tricky. It's in frisco fucking, Texas. I do think I guess New Hazel is the

more proven coach. Is that fair to say? Yeah, I don't know. But he hasn't coached

in so long. And then both pretty big unknowns at the quarterback. Donovan Smith, not much of a

mobile quarterback. I always like to default to those guys when in doubt Austin Reed. I don't know,

I don't know a ton about Austin Reed, but I remember like last year that what they had south canela,

he's gone. I mean, like I, I just when I look at this roster, I mean, they got drinks,

they got stupes, the sun, drinks or Bob's soup, sun, drink stupes. But I just don't, they weren't

last year they had, I think about a roster. So I'm going to fade the roster and just go with the

gamblers think they're alive, dog it up again. Well, and, and, you know, these, the gamblers,

if you look at their coaching staff and their quarterback, they have experience playing in Texas

might make be a little hot there. I'll go, uh, I'll go gamblers and under again. I mean,

the dog and the under is going to be tough for me to get off of five new highs.

Give me the over here over again. Three overs. The new hustle. Cole is, he's like, he's like Dean

bland, you know, wants to see a ton of scoring. Yeah, five and a half of a new highs,

they can't lay, lay five and a half. That's kind of crazy. Now, maybe the Western Kentucky,

that type of offense they run might translate to the sprinter. That is fair. That is fair.

And it might translate to what new highs was a quarterback. He likes to pass the ball.

Yeah, like a pretty finesse teams. Yeah, bubble screen type stuff. And I think they might end up

being successful down the line. But I'm not laying five and a half game one. Kramer, what do you do?

Yeah, I mean, I think, well, a couple of things. One, if you read between the lines, it does sound like

Luis Perez is playing. I think they're going to have a, it sounds like they're going to be playing

a little bit of a two quarterback system. Now, I don't know if that means he's going to be playing

a ton of snaps. But yeah, I, this is the one favorite I feel like I could lay because I also

think this, this gambler situation could be really bad. I mean, when's the last time,

Nolan played a meaningful snap of football. You also have the fact that it's a, I mean,

I know you said you like the roster, Colby, but it's definitely one of the worst rosters in the league.

I don't, I don't like it overall. I think it's better than Arlington. Oh, okay.

That's all I was saying was like, I think they're a little bit better. Like just,

I mean, obviously I haven't seen them, but Jalen Kropper, I think it's pretty good. Kirkland,

we know who's good. The quarterback was a little bit of a question mark with Henderson. I thought

they were going to go with Hunter Decker's or to his brother, Toli Tagli Ovoa. Play that clip.

But, but yeah, I mean, I think the defense is certainly better with Houston.

Tag Ovoa, the quarterback.

This is the prediction I'll make. I think they're, I think the renegades are going to pound the rock.

New Hyels will went out of his way to say he wanted, he was excited for,

he was excited for the general enthusiasm for the team, but specifically, he was excited

for the athletic chaos. I think it's the word he used. That Austin Reed brings to the table.

So I don't know what that means, but I have to lay the chalk on one of these.

And the Houston gamblers are going to be the worst team in the league this year.

First favorite. Obviously. To me, this is like, this is going to be a little bit like the,

we referenced the week one last year. Renegades 30, Brahma's nine, a similar situation,

taking down a team, a fellow team in Texas at home by by margin.

Cramer, big fan of Dallas football, Colby, remember that?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, last one against what are you talking about?

Which by the way, I'm sure all of the Houston basketball fans will also be rooting for the gamblers

on this Belinate Saturday. Last up, a matchup between two new teams, and frankly,

and by the way, this one's on Sunday in prime time, 5 p.m.

Maybe let's not try to attack prime time. I don't know what's on that that day,

but it's probably not going to what the U.F.

Oh, this isn't the real Orlando storm logo. Is it? This is one of your.

Well, they're so unoriginal. They call themselves the Orlando storm. And there was a spring team in

Orlando back in the 90s called the Orlando Thunder. The Thunder actually have this logo,

and it's much better than the storm. So I did them a favor. And then the other one, guys,

I sent you a link. I was searching for the Columbia's Aviators logo. And it turns out there is

a flight school with a way better logo in Columbus. Then the actual, no, no, no, no, no, that's,

I'm using their logo, not not the bullshit logo that they supplied us with.

They had a flight school $500 for a class by the way. They have a much better logo than

the actual Aviators logo if you. So if you're in Columbus, special,

yeah, there we go. So the good thing is to know that someone knows how to make a logo out there.

And, you know, glad they, glad they, yeah, dude, compare it to the one type in right now,

Columbus Aviators logo. Yeah, it's and compare it. Compare that to that and tell me which one's better.

Well, I got him right here. The Aviators looks like the angel, the angel's bullshit. Yeah,

it's like you unoriginal pricks. And the Orlando storm is literally a hurricane,

which kills people in Florida. I feel like every year. So I'm, how do you not have a plane on your

once again, I did them the solid. They listened to me and brought back the gamblers. They

listened to me and moved it to the cities that might help a little bit more in the smaller stadiums.

So I'm ahead of the curve here on I think on this one next year. If they make it somehow,

I think they'll have maybe adjusted these logos.

I was going to say, isn't there a minor league baseball team in in Las Vegas called the Aviators?

I can't imagine the. Yeah, minor. Yep. Yep. Can't imagine the logo looks anything like this.

Again, it's almost like they just used AI because to your point, the gambler logo is also a complete

trash. But it lets them sell new jerseys to all their hundreds of fans. All right, the last game,

which is prime time on Sunday. And it's between two teams that if you didn't know any better,

you would think we were watching a Reno league, or perhaps WMBA. Like if you just told me the

Aviators were taken on the storm, WMBA 100%. It's a WMBA game. Stormlaying one and a half minus

one 18 on the money line, Aviators minus 102, 41 and a half the total. I'm pretty sure there is a

storm in the WMBA. Yeah, there is. Yeah. There's a bunch of storms over the years. That's what I'm

saying. That's actually kind of bad at snuck in a lot. Even in spring leagues, there was a storm

before. Like that's what I'm saying. They're just, they're chalking this up. Like just no effort,

no effort to try to, to be different. This one costs money, Colby. That's we're back to the budget.

Well, they own the old gamblers logo. They own it. Yeah, but you got to pay. They do because they

bought the US affiliate marriage. They got all of that. Maybe they have to pay some licensed fees.

Maybe I don't know. Sign up for the 500 class for the Columbus Aviators. And they'll probably

give you this logo with it. But yeah, so look, Columbus is, I think one of the biggest question marks

on the league. I am on the under in this game because you look at Columbus, a, you know, Ted

Gins, the head coach, and he's no coaching experience. He did have an internship with the Saints.

Orlando, there's two things I really like about Orlando. One Anthony Beck, aka the meatball,

who's, but he's not terrible. He's not terrible. We know he can, he's all right, right? Yeah, he's,

he has spring football experience. He was in the league last year. He knows how to coach

these teams at least. I'm going to like him early, maybe not later on. And then they got DTR,

who I think is kind of the, isn't he the perfect? He's going to destroy this league, dude.

Yeah, like this is who you want in a spring league football. He's the best quarterback in the

league by a wide margin. Yeah. And the only Tony meatball could fuck this up, right? He knows

how to use his legs. Obviously, you know, you, he's somewhat dependent on the offensive coordinator,

which in none of these guys, I mean, there's a deeper issue with me in this storm because I'm with

you. I think this is, this is a smash play, but they also have a dumbbell or sorry, Columbus,

Dumbo the Colombo as their offensive coordinator. And if you don't remember his time with the

New York Giants, when he got in a physical altercation with Joe judge and then fired for being

Jason Garrett's guy, he's running Jason Garrett's offense. This is terrifying to me when you have a

dynamic talent in DTR. So I got to be honest with you. When I saw that and I go, I'm connecting the

dots like the crazy person to the ball of yarn. It's like, oh my God, Jason Garrett's offense is

being run in the UFL. That's not good for anyone. But on the other side, how do you back this

Columbus team? Well, it's going to say like when I look at, Jayla McClendon played okay for the

year. He did actually, he did, he did play good. Yeah, that's certainly the case. But again,

I'm going to fade these guys who have never coached before, making their coaching debut. Now,

maybe McClendon looks sharp and Orlando's offense sucks, but I'll trust DTR to get stuff going

on the ground with his legs. These guys are desperate for opportunity. This is where bullshit meets

opportunity as we know. And I think DTR is another guy like Jason Bean who's going to be run in a bunch.

Yeah, no, I'm like, this is the best under I think that you can do. I just can't see

lips, especially Columbus. He looked at their team. I'm like, I don't know who the fuck's

going to score. I mean, I guess McClendon is decent, but the rest of the team,

there's some question marks. Orlando's got just way more talent. So I'm laying the one and a half

and I like, I like the under. I am too, but I'll remind you one more anecdote about Mark Colombo. He

tried to change Andrew Thomas's stance. He's like, he's like one, he's literally like a top three

tackle in the NFL and Mark Colombo tried to fix it. I have great. I'm very terrified about what

Mark Colombo brings from an offensive coordinator and kids never tried anything because he's never

agreed. I agreed. I agreed. And at the end of the day, once they snap the ball, DTR can just run

around and make plays and that's the difference in this one. So lay it and obviously going under here.

Yeah, and by the way, like they, they just completely like ripped the Tampa Bay Storms logo,

a football team. Yeah, they just changed the color. They just took the logo and changed the

color. They just phoned it in. They're terrible. They're terrible. Hey, we got to do dogs coming up

with the lock on just so everyone knows we did lock up three games last UFL week one. Yeah,

okay, so let's add a third lock. All right, so we're lock it up Orlando minus one and a half with

with our boy Colombo Colombo or Colombo my god, Dumbo, we're going with Dumbo.

We are locking up St. Louis plus four and a half, okay? And we are also taking the Kings plus

four and a half. And they're also my dog. The Kings are going to to win that thing out right at

home in front of that rock is crowd. The parlay we're doing a parlayer or are we waiting for everybody?

Let's wait for everybody. Okay, fire. Yeah.

Okay, let's see here get to Louis. Okay, lock number one. Orlando minus one and a half lock

number two is Louisville plus four and a half leaning into the mobile quarterback angle.

Lock number three will go St. Louis plus four and a half in the money line dog with Colombo.

Louisville is going to be live on the money line. Fade the guy who's never coached before

and there's a couple of spots you can do that. Kramer, what do you got?

Not only has he not coached before, he was running for lieutenant governor of Alabama.

So give me the Kings, give me the storm and give me the renegades. I'll disagree with you guys there.

I think the renegades win easily. Dog. Look, I got one left. Give me St. Louis on the money line.

Actually, you know what? We're good. Keep it like that. Okay. What are we doing for parlay?

St. Louis Louisville home dog money line parlay. Yeah. All right. That's all you need.

Before we go, I know people are dying for more UFL talk 80 minutes into this podcast. But

Colombo, are you playing anything on the futures market? Do we have a graphic for the futures?

Oh, I should have done a graphic. But yeah, this is crazy. We can't talk it though. I'm sure a

DK still has them up. But yeah, I would say right for the start, I'm going to jump on the

the Louisville Kings and my boy, Steve Logan, because this league's in shambles right now.

So I think there's an opportunity in Steve one Logan and

I think we've been swindled by Colby. What happened? This whole Louisville plus 1400 Louisville.

We might need to retroactively delete our. So you're ready for it. You're ready for the odds.

Birmingham plus 340. So they're the odds on favorite DC. DC. What, how's it make any sense?

DC plus DC plus 360 Dallas plus 500 Orlando plus 550 Columbus plus 600 St. Louis plus 700 Louisville

Kings plus 1400 gamblers plus 1700. Yeah, I'll give you action on the Louisville Kings.

And that's really all I want to the other way. I know. Give me St. Louis plus 700 as well.

That's Louisville. That filthy dome. Yeah. At plus 1400. And then you're also in the battle

hawks at seven to one. Yeah, those two have value. Let's go.

And as a reminder, half the league does make the playoffs. So that's always.

Do we know which teams are in which division? I'll pull up the standing so we can study

it real quick. I kind of like Orlando storm just because the DTR but a plus 550. It's probably not

long enough. I'll go Louisville Kings at 14 to one. Why not the Louisville Kings? Jason

Bean, I think is going to be a decent quarterback in this league. 14 to one. Yeah, let's go.

Wait, hold on. This is breaking news. 80 minutes into the UFL podcast. But did they get rid of

divisions? Did they? I'm not aware of that. Hold on. Let's get this on the screen.

Yeah, it appears no divisions. So whether I go league, which shout out to the website for having

league and conference. I guess with 18s, that's probably smart, right? Yeah. But what about the

historic rivalries of these divisions? Well, that was the old hack though was that you could find

those long odds on the futures market. And they just had to get in the top two of their four team

conference and they got into the playoffs. So now we'll actually be the top four teams, which is

probably better for the product overall, but not as appealing on the crazy long shots.

I'll stick with the Louisville Kings though. Kramer. They'll find a way to screw this one up.

Yeah, no, I think I don't. I'm fine sprinkling the storm. I think we've seen this before where

yes, coaching matters. But if that one quarterback can be all the difference in all bet on DTR.

So give me the storm. And I'll only because he would be incredibly annoying.

If I missed that on a Louisville situation. So I'll sprinkle them as well.

And then I guess I should take the battle Hawks as well. So I'll take a 550, a 7-1 and a 14-1

corner of the market. Right in the board. That's, you know, the there are only eight teams.

Yeah, and you got three of them in your pocket. Good times. Good times as always, everyone.
