00:00Let's get right to it. We'll start off with a sports betting story that broke yesterday. One of the bigger stories we've seen thus far in basketball. Three players, Michael Robinson, Stephen Vasquez, and Jalen Weaver were involved in an NCAA investigation into sports betting violations. They had played for Fresno State with Vasquez transferring to San Jose State. It began after Fresno State had a sports betting integrity monitor flag. According to the NCAA, Robinson and Vasquez had been roommates, communicated via text in 2025 about Robinson
00:29intentionally underperforming in a game. They, along with a third party, placed $2,200 in bets on the underperformance, which resulted in $15,000 payout. And Robinson also placed 13 fantasy sports bets on his own performance. So keep an eye, of course, on that investigation. Also, by the way, four suspects have now been arrested in the shooting that involved Florida State linebacker Ethan Pritchard. He was ambushed and shot in the back of the head while dropping off family outside of an apartment in
00:59Havana, Florida. Back in August, they believed the shooting was mistaken identity. Three of the suspects face multiple murder charges in terms of attempt, while the fourth was charged with a probation violation. All right, now let's go to the field. Quarterback situations are not getting any better in the National Football League. As soon as you got to go to a backup, you know you're in trouble. That is indeed the case with the San Francisco 49ers. Only saving graces this week, they're going to play the Saints. But it looks like Brock Purdy is going to
01:29miss multiple weeks. Mack Jones is going to start for the Saints this week, so we're going to see a major shift in the line. Although, Frank, I have not checked that. I saw three and a half last check. San Francisco can't be the case, I think, going into New Orleans today. Tell me if they updated that, and I'll give that to you guys here on the show. Here's Kyle Shanahan without Kittle, without Purdy, and even more.
01:48All right, injuries for today. Yee Tour will not practice knee. McCaffrey will not practice calf slash vet slash vet day. Trent Williams won't practice knee slash vet day. Nick Bosa won't practice vet day. Brock Purdy won't practice left shoulder toe. Juwan Jennings won't practice shoulder. Jordan James, limited finger. Jordan Watkins, limited ankle. Ben Bartsch, limited knee and elbow.
02:13Go ahead. Any further sense about whether Brock will be able to play on Sunday? I think it's a long shot.
02:25George Kittle's hamstring, is there any more details or just a... I don't know. There's going to be some time.
02:31Is it possible that Purdy's injury could be a multi-week thing? That's possible.
02:36I think that's the toe more so than the shoulder.
02:38All right.
02:38The Purdy news broke about an hour ago. It looks like San Francisco still could be favorites going into the weekend in New Orleans, but I got to tell you, it will not be much.
02:50This could be a pick-em. All right. Tonight, not the case in a pick-em.
02:52I've seen this line juggle a little bit, but right now the Packers are three-and-a-half-point favorites.
02:57You know, some steam a little bit on the Commanders.
02:59This could go to three eventually, but right now you are laying the hook.
03:02Total 48-and-a-half. We'll have a preview of this game coming up.
03:04All right. Cowboys injuries. Let's get to the latest. We got Deron Bland, their great cornerback, going to be sidelined potentially for weeks.
03:12The Cowboys can ill afford to lose any players on defense, but that is indeed the case.
03:16How about Lamar Jackson? Did you see this clip over the weekend? He apologized to a fan for a shoving incident.
03:22A fan reached out, grabbed Lamar Jackson, and the fan essentially was grabbed back. Here's Lamar Jackson on that exchange.
03:28John said that you were late to discuss with Eric about the incident with the fan.
03:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:35Not to share what was said, but have you heard from the league about that? And what's your reaction about that whole thing a few days later?
03:41Yeah, Eric talked to me about it. Yeah, but I mean, I believe everyone's seen what happened.
03:48Don't get me wrong. I didn't try to, you know, it just happened. Like, I got pushed. I'm like, what?
03:54I thought I was, like, outside. I wasn't even thinking about me being out there on the field, but my apologies to that, whoever that was.
04:01I don't know who it was. My apologies to him. Like, just chill next time.
04:07Just, you know, you can talk trash and stuff, but keep your hands to yourself. That's all I can say.
04:11Grabbing quarterbacks, a new thing in the NFL. All right, Malik Neighbors had his issues, apparently, with Brian Dable on the sidelines of that game with the Giants this past weekend.
04:20You may have seen a couple of clips with that. It looked like Dable got over it pretty quick, and they were high-fiving each other.
04:25But here's Malik Neighbors on what happened after or during the game.
04:29Just 12 targets and five catches. Just not how I want to end the day off.
04:33I know everybody was more focused on just me overall being mad I wasn't getting the ball, and it wasn't at all what I was being, you know, what I was concerned about.
04:46You know, I had 12 targets, so why would I argue about getting the ball if I had 12 targets?
04:49But, you know, just overall, just how I played.
04:53And I don't think that why I was frustrated.
04:56Like I said, I was trying to get the offense going.
04:58I was trying to get people to let's get rolling.
05:00You know, the lights was on. The game was on.
05:02You know, it's time to play.
05:04I feel like that just got pushed over, you know, and everybody was talking about just how I was having an attitude and stuff like that.
05:13It's just, I got an NBF.
05:16I got a natural face. That's just what it is.
05:18It's just my face. I don't know.
05:20Like, when y'all talk to me, I look the same way every time.
05:23I don't know just how I am, but I guess I got a smile more.
05:27Giants got to also play a little bit better. That would help him.
05:30All right. Tonight, a very good NC State team in college football takes on Wake Forest.
05:34They're seven and a half point favorites.
05:36Total of 52 and a half. We'll have this game covered for you tonight.
05:39In-game live game time decisions.
05:41One college football game this evening, several tomorrow.
05:44And then, of course, we've got some big ones coming up this weekend.
05:46Speaking of which, Missouri's quarterback after their big win after Kansas, Sam Horn, going to miss the rest of the season after leg surgery.
05:52He was hurt in the 25th-ranked season opener of the August 28th game.
05:59It was the great game that the Tigers played.
06:01Needless, they're going to need another quarterback moving forward.
06:04Wisconsin's quarterback, Billy Edwards Jr., not going to play against Alabama.
06:08That line has moved, tied up to 20 and a half point favorites.
06:10But the last time the tied were 20-point favorites.
06:12Close to it. They lost.
06:14Meanwhile, Ryan Williams, their great wide receiver, is going to play this week against Wisconsin.
06:17That's who they are favored against.
06:19All right, over to Major League Baseball we go.
06:21The Detroit Tigers cruising toward the postseason.
06:23I'll see them this weekend here in South Florida.
06:25They scored five runs in the eighth inning for their second straight blowout of the Yankees, 11-1.
06:30They lost by 10 runs for the third time ever in back-to-back games.
06:35Boy, we've heard from Aaron Boone a lot this season, haven't we?
06:37All right, let's do it one more time.
06:39Yeah, I thought Carlos obviously threw the ball well, gave us a six strong there.
06:44Just didn't get much going offensively.
06:46And then, you know, they kind of chipped away there.
06:50That inning, you know, Duvall comes in and gets a couple big outs after Mark got the strikeout.
06:58You know, and then just, you know, obviously got away from us there in the eighth when Camilo went back out.
07:09So, you know, these nights are frustrating, obviously, you know.
07:16So, but it's that time of year we got to get over it and get ready for tomorrow.
07:24But, you know, obviously they've been able to really add on late in some, you know, close games, you know, early.
07:31Astros get the 200th home run from Carlos Correa on their way to beating the Blue Jays 3-2.
07:39Maybe that's a postseason matchup.
07:41We'll find out.
07:42How about the, right now, I would say the Texas Rangers' hottest team in baseball.
07:46Fair to say.
07:47They beat the Brewers yesterday 6-3.
07:49Jake Berger is back.
07:50He homered twice yesterday for them.
07:52Speaking of back, the Dodgers got their healthy pitcher back.
07:55Blake Snell, 11 strikeouts.
07:56The Dodgers sweep the Rockies.
07:58That's not a surprise.
07:59Welcome back to Newswire here on Sports Grid.
08:02Some big news from golf, by the way, today as well as Greg Norman stepping down from Live Golf.
08:08He, of course, was the first one to get on board with Live Golf.
08:11Came under a lot of pressure and a lot of controversy from leaving the PGA Tour and jumping into that.
08:17But Norman bowing out.
08:18Live Golf, unfortunately, folks, could be on the way out as well.
08:21We'll see.
08:22All right.
08:22Now let's get to a big sports betting story of the day.
08:24Three men's basketball players have been banned for gambling.
08:28That's right.
08:28Mikel Robinson, Steven Vasquez, Jalen Weaver.
08:31Probably never heard of them.
08:32Me either.
08:33They were involved in an NCAA investigation tied to sports betting violations.
08:37They all played for Fresno State.
08:39Eventually, Vasquez transferred to San Jose State.
08:41The investigation began after Fresno State and the Sports Betting Integrity Monitor flagged suspicious prop bets that involved the player named Robinson.
08:48According to the NCAA, Robinson and Vasquez, they were roommates.
08:52They communicated via text in January about Robinson intentionally underperforming in a game that he was playing in, along with a third party placing $2,200 in bets on the underperformance, resulting in a $15,000 payout.
09:04He also played fantasy sports as well.
09:06You know the deal with sports betting and players.
09:08If you bet and you get caught, you're done, and these players will be done.
09:11No question about that.
09:13All right.
09:13Now let's move over to the National Football League.
09:15Some key injuries in the NFL.
09:16We went over the 49ers once.
09:18Now let's get to the Cowboys.
09:19Deron Bland.
09:19He's going to be out several weeks with a foot injury.
09:21So count him out for the Cowboys' upcoming game this weekend.
09:24Did you see the video of Lamar Jackson walking off the field and getting grabbed, and then all of a sudden the fan getting grabbed?
09:31Jackson probably didn't expect that to happen at the end of the game and reacted as probably most would.
09:38Here is he on the reaction to the fan grabbing him at the end of their game against the Cleveland Browns.
09:45Or the Buffalo Bills, sorry.
09:46John said that you were likely to discuss with Eric about the incident with the fan.
09:53Not to share what was said, but have you heard from the league about that?
09:56And what's your reaction about that whole thing a few days later?
09:59Yeah, Eric talked to me about it.
10:01Yeah, but I mean, I believe everyone's seen what happened.
10:06I didn't, don't get me wrong, I didn't try to, you know, it just happened.
10:10Like, I got pushed.
10:11I'm like, what?
10:12I thought I was like outside.
10:13I wasn't even thinking about me being out there on the field.
10:15But my apologies to that, to that, whoever that was.
10:19I don't know who it was.
10:21My apologies to him, like, just chill next time.
10:25Just, you know, you can talk trash and stuff, but keep your hands to yourself.
10:28That's all I can say.
10:30No punches exchanged there.
10:32And also none between Malik Neighbors and his head coach, Brian Dable in New York.
10:36Although they did appear to get into it on the sideline.
10:39And then got over it pretty quickly.
10:41It looked like Dable and Neighbors were hugging it out.
10:43But Neighbors, for the first time, addressing that, let's call, mini incident in their game this past Sunday.
10:49Just 12 targets and five catches.
10:52Just not how I want to end the day off.
10:54I know everybody was more focused on just me overall being mad I wasn't getting the ball.
11:00And it wasn't at all what I was being, you know, what I was concerned about.
11:06You know, I had 12 targets.
11:07So why would I argue about getting the ball if I had 12 targets?
11:09But, you know, just overall, just how I played.
11:13And I don't think that why I was frustrated.
11:16Like I said, I was trying to get the offense going.
11:18I was trying to get people to let's get rolling.
11:21You know, the lights was on.
11:22The game was on.
11:23You know, it's time to play.
11:24I feel like that just got pushed over.
11:27You know, and everybody was talking about just how I was having an attitude and stuff like that.
11:34It's just, I got an NBF.
11:37I got a natural face.
11:38That's just what it is.
11:39It's just my face.
11:40I don't know.
11:41Like, when y'all talk to me, I look the same way every time.
11:43I don't know just how I am.
11:45But I guess I got a small one.
11:47Let's get to some college football.
11:49We've got one game tonight.
11:50The big one is between NC State and Wake Forest.
11:53Of course, NC State is supposed to be better than Wake Forest this season, as the spread would indicate.
11:58A total of 52 and a half.
12:00That's a 7.30 p.m. Eastern game.
12:01So, it'll start about a half hour before the NFL game tonight.
12:04Meanwhile, Missouri has lost their starting quarterback, Sam Horn.
12:08He'll be out the rest of the season after leg surgery.
12:10He was injured in the first game of the season for Missouri.
12:13And, of course, they beat Kansas last week.
12:15So, it's a good start for them.
12:16Boy, Wisconsin's in some trouble.
12:18Their quarterback, Billy Edwards Jr., not going to play against Alabama.
12:21They were already big underdogs in this one.
12:23Looks like about 20 on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
12:25And also, Ryan Williams, the Crimson Tide young wide receiver, is going to be back.
12:30And he'll be playing against the University of Wisconsin coming up this weekend.
