00:00And the Americans won big yesterday in Abu Dhabi, 105-79 over Serbia.

00:09Team USA covering as a 14-and-a-half point favorite, a pregame number for an exhibition

00:15of 178-and-a-half does go over.

00:17I remember you said, and again, you probably remember this as well, Ben.

00:21Let's go back like 15, 20 years, like just take a website like ESPN.

00:25I love MAAC football, right?

00:26You kind of bet MAAC football.

00:28Those games aren't updated rather quickly back in the day on anybody's website.

00:32So the game could be late third quarter, they're giving you the halftime score.

00:35And I felt like that's what I was doing yesterday, because when I was trying to just find simplicity,

00:39right?

00:40Give me a box score.

00:41Just click on something that has it right.

00:43ESPN had the box scores up yesterday.

00:45You click on it, they gave you the live feed.

00:47And the one I couldn't stop laughing was, it was like 72-55 when the game was actually

00:51over.

00:52That was the live feed on ESPN.

00:55And then you go and say, okay, let me just go directly to the source, Team USA.

00:59You click on it.

01:00And it had the game where I know it was over, 102 points scored by Team USA as I got the

01:04update from TV.

01:06And it basically said, well, Team USA is 15 of like 27 from the floor today, and nobody's

01:10played more than 10 minutes in the game.

01:12I can't understand or figure this out.

01:14You figure they would have the bugs out of it.

01:16Now granted, if you watch the game live, you're on TV, you got the updates, you saw what was

01:19going on.

01:20Team USA was wonderful.

01:21I was just amazed to see how bad yesterday the technology was trying to find it.

01:26And it wasn't as if, Ben, it's one thing if I said, okay, the Olympics, no professionals

01:30are allowed there.

01:31It's all amateurs under 18.

01:32Nobody's probably looking for that game or caring about it in the middle of the day.

01:35But the fact that it came on a day where there wasn't much going on and people would love

01:39to just get a simple update on how Team USA is doing.

01:42And oh, by the way, it wasn't like they were playing a team you never heard of, any superstars

01:46you'd never heard of.

01:47An NBA champion, an MVP was on the opposite side.

01:50But the fact of the matter is just making it.

01:52And then I had to tweet, go to Twitter and go, did he score these points?

01:55And then find out he had 16 points.

01:57I was like the perfect snare because, you know, I was probably expecting back then,

02:00oh, he scored 14.

02:01But yeah, that's exactly what was supposed to happen on a day like that.

02:04But one for the good guys yesterday, cashing in a ticket.

02:07But just the anger, like I just wanted to get a simple update on the best players in

02:11the world.

02:12And nobody could give me an update.

02:13It was crazy.
