Transcript

[A]

Broncos fan, Brad Williams. Brad, the Broncos have acquired Jalen Waddle. Give us all your analysis. Keep it short. Again.

[B]

Again with the keeping short. Are you mad? Are you mad because the Dolphins are having a fire sale? Is that why you're mad? Are you mad because you have to look at Are you mad because you have to look at David Sampson's shirt? Is that why you're mad? Are you mad because you because you have a guy that looks like a pencil eraser sitting to your left? Is that why you're mad? Are you just taking it out on me? Listen, I'm excited for the Broncos. We needed a true number one. We needed a true speed wide receiver. We got that in Jalen Waddle. We had to give up the first round pick, but it's number 30, so they. So they thought that they would get the same value, more value with Jalen Waddle than a whoever they got at number 30 in the first round. I'm excited for the move. The Broncos did nothing in free agency, so now they're actually going for it and they're trying to make moves to make Bo Nix a better quarterback and to make the team better. I'm stoked. You suck. Dan John.

[A]

Eric Sullivan told season ticket holders last month that's the Dolphins GM he would like to turn turn the team's eight picks into 11 or 12. He now has 11, and he's positioned himself to have seven of the top hundred picks in this draft. I just don't get about that. I understand. I understand why people do. Zaz, you get excited when you hear that seven of the top 100 picks.

[C]

It's not about being excited. But there's an opportunity there if you hit those picks to get good sooner rather than later than that. Like, that's their plan. So, like, I'm excited for the opportunity that the plan would work.

[A]

Brad, you're sure that Jalen Waddle is a number one because we're not in south Florida.

[B]

Well, because he was paired with Tua and if he wasn't open in 0.5 seconds, they weren't going to throw him the ball. So I'm pretty sure that he's a true number one. You get to pair him with Cortland Sutton. He's a big wide receiver, a big body, a speedster like Troy Franklin, who was with Bo Nixon. Oregon, you got Marvin Mims that you can bring in little Jordan Humphrey. There's quite a good wide receiver room that's going on right now in Denver. I feel like the team's excited. I Feel like the fans are excited. I'm excited. I'm glad that there's a fire sale going on in Miami and everyone's up for grabs.

[A]

Did you just call a wide receiver Little?

[B]

Yeah, his name is little. Jordan Humphrey. That's his name. It's ironic because he's over six feet tall. You know, Dan. Irony, irony. You know about irony. You have David Sampson next to you giving sports advice and sports takes. That's ironic that anyone could trust his perspective and his point of view. I think it's funny that Bill Jordan Humphrey.

[D]

Thanks, Brad. Good to see you, man. Always a pleasure.

[A]

Brad williams.com Good seeing you, Brad. Thank you for stopping by and congratulations. Happy for you. Waddle is 11th in the league in receiving yards since he entered the league. That's higher than I would have guessed. But the dolphins current starting wide receivers and now Malik Washington, 22 Atwell and Jalen Tolbert.

[D]

That's a 3 and 14 season. That's what that is.

[A]

Malik Willis gets juju is here. Thank you for your juju. We have to do an assortment of things with juju. The polls top five list. But go ahead and play the imaging to get us started. Chris.

[E]

Against the spread is brought to you by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. Roy.

[A]

What do we got?

[F]

Panthers at Canucks tonight. The Panthers are a goal and a half favorite tonight. The underdog has both won on the money line and covered the puck. Puck line. Puck the puck line. The last eight games involving the Florida Panthers the Canucks are 10 and three as home underdogs versus Florida. But the Canucks are the worst team in the league with 48 points. They're trailing Calgary by 11 points and the only team that hasn't reached 50 points so far this season. They have seven home games wins. That's worse in the league. Two behind the Rangers. So go for the Panthers tonight as the favorite again.

[E]

Hey, I want that spread, Tony.

[B]

All right.

[G]

That was a lot of math, a lot of analytics. Thank you, Roy. We're going Venezuela tonight plus 1.5 on the run line. It's going to be a tight game. Venezuela is going to be at least close enough. We're going to get the spread rolling on.

[E]

Yeah, 1.5.

But they had a brother on the COVID that looks like if Jeremy Tashay took steroids and bec a football player. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I was like, damn. Of course, I probably sent it to the wrong video team chat, but check out Pablo Torres find out picture today. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna stand up for myself. I know I put it in the right chat. How about that? It's the video team fault. I'm gonna blame him. Oh.

[B]
