00:00Let's begin with a very big story in the world of sports betting and prediction markets,
00:05which has been a hot topic here in 2025. Calci, the company that has taken over the country by
00:11storm, allowing you to place money on predictions, is filing a lawsuit against members of the New
00:17York State Gaming Commission a couple of days after the regulatory body sent a cease and desist
00:23letter to the prediction market company on Friday. Meanwhile, what does it mean? The state of New York
00:28is telling companies like Calci and Robinhood and Crypto.com and others, you can't operate in
00:34our state without paying taxes. You guys are just like sports betting operators without the
00:39regulation. Now, again, they're not saying that publicly, but that's what they feel. We'll see
00:43if Calci ends up winning this. If not, they're going to have to cease and desist in the state
00:47of New York. And actually, this will happen everywhere else as well. The biggest story in
00:52sports from the weekend is the dismissal of head coach Brian Kelly from Louisiana State
00:57University. They owe him more than $54 million in buyout money. They were thrashed on Saturday
01:04night by Texas A&M. More losses against ranked teams and losing in Death Valley at night is not
01:11something that has happened very often, especially under previous head coaches like Nick Saban and
01:16Ed Orgeron and Les Miles and others. Brian Kelly leaves Notre Dame to go to LSU only three years
01:21later to see himself out of a job. And so the Florida Gators and LSU Tigers dismissing coaches
01:27in consecutive weeks. Meanwhile, on Sunday night football, the revenge game narrative didn't exactly
01:33work last night for Aaron Rodgers and company as the Steelers go down 35 to 25, courtesy of Jordan
01:40Love and his huge game that he had last night with the Green Bay Packers in a 10-point win. Mostly,
01:46it was love in the air who threw three touchdown passes and also 300 yards through the air. But the
01:52Steelers also had some self-inflicted wounds in this game. A lot of penalties being called and some
01:57mistakes as well. So that left Aaron Rodgers pretty unhappy in postgame. I don't know. I just feel like
02:03we had some discipline issues and some penalties that were unnecessary. And then you're not going to win a lot
02:07of games when we're so bad on third down. Boz bailed us out with some four incredible kicks. But you're
02:14playing good teams, you need to score touchdowns. And we just stalled out in the high red zone.
02:19Aaron, what can you say about Jordan Love and just how far he's come over the years and also just how
02:24he played out for tonight?
02:25Yeah, I thought Jay Love played great. And he was super efficient. You know, he didn't get sacked,
02:32moved around really well, made some plays outside the pocket. Thought he played outstanding.
02:37Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, when we came in the locker room at halftime, you know, the message was
02:43that we just weren't finishing. We weren't executing our plays and weren't locked in on doing their,
02:48everybody's 111. So, you know, there's plays being made and I think we just weren't, weren't executing those
02:53and we weren't able to stay on the field. So, you know, I think the first half when we buy really
02:57fast for us as offense, we had one scoring drive. And so I think the message is just do your job,
03:03lock in and execute plays and stay on the field. And we did that.
03:07Bit of a surprise late Saturday for NFL fans and maybe even betters alike to find out that Lamar
03:13Jackson, who reportedly practiced all week long, was not going to play against the Chicago Bears on
03:18Sunday. The NFL is going to have to look into the injury report there because naturally,
03:22if you reported as practicing, they expect you to play. There's some discrepancy of practicing with
03:29the scout team versus your actual team. John Harbaugh, of course, said that Lamar Jackson
03:36and there was no like shenanigans going on here, but the NFL is definitely going to look into this.
03:40Meanwhile, it didn't matter because Snoop Huntley came in and Derrick Henry ran for two touchdowns.
03:44The Ravens beat the Bears and easily covered even if you laid that six and a half, which went way down
03:49on Sunday. 30 to 16, the final Ravens were two and a half at kickoff. John Harbaugh was happy to
03:55finally get a win without Lamar. By no means does this mean that, you know, things are over. By no
04:02means have we accomplished anything close to what we want to accomplish. But this is a really important
04:05game for our team. This is really a big game. And Thursday is really a big game for our team too.
04:10And our guys are keenly aware of that. And they'll turn it around tomorrow and they'll be ready to get
04:14to work on the Dolphins down there. So, but I can't emphasize enough how proud I am of the players
04:19and the coaches and everybody involved. I thought our defensive coaches had a great game plan.
04:24It was excellent. It was executed in an excellent way by the players throughout the game.
04:29And the offensive coaches had a great game plan. I thought Todd was his play calling was
04:33just incredible on point, really effective. And then, of course, you can talk about all the players,
04:39but we'll start with Tyler Huntley right here. I mean, the way he played that game.
04:42Eagles got revenge on the Giants as New York seems like they're crashing down to earth.
04:48Philly, one of the best teams right now going into the bye. 38-20, they pick up the win
04:52over New York. Cam Scadaboo injured in the game. Looks like he's going to miss extended amount of
04:58time. Nick Sirianni is basically saying at this point, whether they throw a lot or run a lot,
05:03it doesn't matter. Yesterday, a couple running backs, Barkley, Bigsby, both had great days.
05:08Anytime you rush for that many yards, it takes everybody.
05:11Jalen starts with Jalen and Brett getting us on the same page, checks, all the different things
05:18like that. Obviously, the whole line, deservedly so, played awesome. Deserves a lot of credit.
05:26Backs ran hard. All the guys that got touches ran hard. Receivers were blocking down the field.
05:30Tight ends were doing a good job against really good edge guys. A lot of respect for Burns and
05:36Thibodeau and Carter on the problems that they can create on the edge. So, great team effort
05:43to be able to rush for that many yards.
05:46CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans finally put up an offensive performance. We've been waiting for
05:52this all season. 26 points against the 49ers as they pick up the win. Stroud threw for 318 yards
05:58and two touchdowns. And the Patriots are just rolling. They can't be stopped. They're now 6-2.
06:02They beat the Browns 32-13. Meanwhile, the best player in the NFL this season has to be Jonathan
06:09Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts. Another three touchdowns, another 150 yards. Colts were two
06:15touchdown favorites. They easily won in Tennessee. And Daniel Jones, while he's been great for the
06:20Colts, acknowledges it probably wouldn't be great if it wasn't for his running back.
06:24Well, I mean, 80-yard runs help, for sure. The way JT's playing, the way the guys up front are
06:33playing. Receivers, you know, made some really big plays today. And then, yeah, I think as far as it
06:39goes with Shane, just the communication's been really good. You know, I've talked about that
06:43before, but just throughout the week and understanding how he wants to see the game
06:47played, how he sees it unfolding, gives me, you know, a good idea of how to, you know, how to
06:54handle certain situations and make decisions based on kind of how he sees it. So, I think,
06:59yeah, communication's a big deal. And I think he trusts us to make plays in a lot of situations.
07:07Broncos, meanwhile, have done what many teams have against the Dallas Cowboys this season,
07:1130-plus points. They scored 44 yesterday on Dallas as they beat, Denver beats Dallas 44-24. Also,
07:19the Buccaneers defense completely decimated the struggling Saints. Even Spencer Rattler was benched
07:24in this one. 23-3 Tampa Bay wins, also scored a touchdown on defense. Meanwhile, the New York Jets
07:30pick up their first win of the season in a wild one, 39-38 against the Bengals. It was the Brees
07:37Hall show, rushed for two touchdowns and also threw a touchdown pass in this game. Bengals seemingly going
07:43the other way. The Bills were turned off the bye. They crushed the Panthers 40-9 in a non-competitive
07:49game. The biggest surprise of the week, and there weren't many, the Dolphins go into Atlanta and
07:54Tua throws four touchdown passes to lead the Dolphins past the Falcons, 34-10. Kirk Cousins
08:00started for Michael Penix Jr. Tonight, it is World Series Game 3 back in Los Angeles. The Blue Jays
08:07over the weekend, in case you missed it, one game won easily. The Dodgers came back in one game too
08:11very handily. And tonight, Max Scherzer is the pitcher for the Blue Jays against Tyler Glass now.
08:17And the Dodgers are massive favorites in Game 3, folks. Minus 200 on the money line. Total of
08:23eight and a half. Also news from baseball, Craig Albernaz, the bench coach of the Guardians,
08:28is taking the head gig as new manager of the Baltimore Orioles. They'll make an announcement
08:33at some point this week.
