Byron wins Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway after Chastain wreck
"Opportunity knocked and William Byron kicked the door down, taking advantage of a late race kerfuffle between leader Ross Chastain and Kyle Larson as they battled over the same real estate on the track and both crashed, bringing out the caution. Baron surged ahead on the restart, driving away from Kevin Harvick to win the NASCAR Cup Series race at Darlington Raceway. Harvick overcame a difficult running car to finish second, admitting that he didn't have enough speed to pass Byron on the final restart, finishing third was chase Elliott. I'm Jerry Jordan.

"And offers up an outright selection there on top of everything else. All right, my friend, anything else that you'd like to get off your chest before we bid our listeners a fond farewell and for next week a little bit of a unique situation we have the all star race. So a non points paying race and we'll go to a track where we have absolutely no history to go off of when we handicap it. Yeah, this is gonna be fun. This is gonna be us just pulling shit out of our ass. And hoping something sticks. I think I just think that there isn't there is an edge in the all star race when you take a look at the format. I think we'll cover that in stage two next week and then see if we can't pick a winner come the all star race. So but yeah, I don't have anything else. Darlington is one of my favorite tracks. I think that this is a place where I'd love to go visit someday. I just love high tire wear the history at this track. So I love the fact that it's going to be hot and slick. There's going to be some tire fall off. So I would say go ahead and take that the best bet for half a unit and then we'll give you a full unit play come Sunday morning. Some of my boys actually worm did visit Darlington during one spring break when I was, I think I was a sophomore in college. They went junior year. They said the kind of things that they saw at Darlington and the stories were not available for public consumption. And they're the kind of things that they shouldn't be shared in a mixed form. So we can leave it at that. Our listeners can regale us with any stories or things that they've partaken at Darlington in the past. But want to wish all of you guys and girls out there. Best of luck with all of your wagers this weekend. Remember, check the bet the board podcast website will update anything with best bets on Sunday. When those markets are a lot more liquid and widely available to try and do everything we can to get you to the window with the best information we have readily available. In the meantime, however, though, with a William Byron head to head ticket against Tyler Reddick in hand, hopefully we'll see

"Why do I bring up that 33rd place finish? Because it ended a streak of 13 straight top tens for Kevin Harvick at Darlington the last time he didn't finish in the top ten before that was may 11th, 2013 has three wins at this track during that span. Current form though nothing to write home about, four straight finishes outside the top ten. And while we always say he is going to be the top performing Stewart Haas driver, you begin to wonder if this entire race team is having major issues that are even impacting the four. Yeah, I don't like 12 to one. I think that there's some places that opened up as high as 20. I think that you could nibble there. But again, never really a factor last week. Just kind of riding around in that 7th to 11th place all day. I don't think he really passed many cars. He was able to kind of just sustain where he was. Not big on Kevin Harvick at 12 to one. I think that I don't know that he could win the race. I think he can run well, but I don't think he has race winning car at this point in the season. Oh, I guess he kind of wait and see how some of his matchup prices shake out. We know where he was steamed against against Joey Logano last week and a couple other drivers. Look like a value proposition, but he was never able to get himself into the top ten. From Kevin Harvick to chase Elliott, had a solid car at Kansas that got better throughout the course of the day. Ran in the mix at the front and came home 7th. He's been lurking in that territory that could produce a playoff qualifying victory at a moment's notice. But the 7th place finish at Kansas was his best of the campaign. As far as Darlington is concerned, he's finished 20th or worse here in four of 6 trips that doesn't include when he finished 5th last year in one of the two races, but he hasn't let a lap here in the last four trips or finished with a driver rating better than 91. Yeah, I don't like the price, you know, last week I kind of bit on the 14 to one and then pre race he's sitting at 28 to one. Yeah, we jumped a little bit too early there. We jumped a little too early. It's okay. It happens to the best of us. Yeah, I would say I did a terrible job last week with the outright bets before or after practicing qualifying. So you were so nice when he said, well, we can't beat the market every time. It's like, we didn't even come close. We got shit kicked. We could have had Elliot at 28 to one and we're sitting there with 14 to one. So I'm gonna go ahead and wait again because I do anticipate the 24 and the 5 to qualify well again. That'll keep their prices low and I think you'll see the great the great part about Darlington is you can come from the back and win this race with a solid race car. So qualifying, although it's important for that pit stall and kind of avoiding stuff earlier if there's issues. I think you wait on chase Elliott. I'd be shocked if he went out there and qualified super well or looks so good in practice that it warranted like an 8 to one price. After last week, I'm going to stay away until I see practice in qualifying. One last driver that I'll put in the value bucket of sorts and this price to me pretty much tells me that odds makers don't know how to value his current form versus what he's been able to accomplish track history wise at Darlington being Joey Logano, 16 to one on the low end. I've seen it drift out a little bit higher than that. It does have a history of good finishes on high tire work tracks, but he's been absolutely terrible this season from a consistency standpoint. I'll ask you this before we get into how we're handicapping him this week. How do you reconcile that? When a driver like this has great history at this particular track type, but his current form doesn't suggest that we should believe this is where he can break through. Yeah, it kind of depends on the amount of on throttle time. And what I mean by that is if he's running, if he's running poorly, I feel like Logano is kind of running poorly. He's been able to kind of snuck a decent finish there at Kansas. Snuck one at Martinsville. But if you're just if you don't have speed, that's really tough. But a place like Darlington, you have a lot of off throttle time in the corner and the cars get really tough to handle and I think that that's where the cream rises when it comes to talent. And Joey Logano has a ton of talent. He just needs to kind of put a weekend together where he gets a decent qualifying. Looks decent in practice so he can hang around because let me tell you, if you start at the back, the leaders come quickly and I just, I guess I'm kind of with the oddsmakers. I don't really know what we're going to get out of that 22 car this week either. You know, at this point, I'm not interested in playing them in anything, but I'm not interested in fading them. He obviously is pretty good here and I do trust him when he's got a poor handling race car. He tends to get decent finishes, so he kind of, he got us, we had Kyle Busch last week against him and obviously Kyle quit. So we lost it there. And I don't know. Logano is weird this year. Yeah, I mean, a tough for God to try and figure out. I mean, look, he's got some finishes, at least if you're just looking at where he's ended up races, you think he was a lot better than he was because the average running position doesn't suggest he should be finishing where he has, but that's also a credit to him getting the most out of his equipment. And of course, having good strategy that's paid dividends in that regard. When we look at that's a good point, that's a good point. He is finishing better than his average running position. He's getting like, he's doing very very good job of when he has a chance in a race, you know, obviously he had a few DNFs with Talladega Dover and Bristol dirt. But kind of in between there, you're looking at a second place finish at Martinsville where he was probably 24th place car and I would say he's probably a 15th place car last week at Kansas was able to kind of steal some track vision and keep it up there. So yeah, he just getting a finish better than his average running spot. And when you do that as a driver, you are doing your damn job. So yeah, you got to give him credit there. One final driver that I'll put in this value bucket of sorts would be Joey Logano's teammate Ryan Blaney. Upwards of 20 to one shop around. I think there are some prices that are better. When we look at current form three straight top 7 finishes came to a screeching halt at Kansas at some of the high tire wear tracks, not exactly a guy that you want to be backing week in, week out. When we talk about his Darlington form, 17th and 13th last year since joining Team Penske 8th is his only top ten finish at Darlington. And if we look at the results, 13, 17th, 22nd, 8th, 24th, 21st, 16, 13th and 15th when you're handicapping the 12 car this weekend, how do you go about things? Yeah, this is not a great Blaney track at all. I'm not high on Blaney. He's had some decent finishes, or at least some decent runs. The last couple of weeks, but this is not a Blaney type track. His finishes are very indicative of his ability to kind of maintain his tires here. So I think, you know, I think we'll see him kind of hang around right around 15th all day, so, you know, it might be a guy that if you find someone really fast, maybe matched up against him, I'm not opposed to betting against Ryan Blaney this week. I don't anticipate him racing for the win. So, you know, he's kind of he's a guy I'm looking to fade this week, if anything.

"Said he was extremely comfortable in his car last week. You wouldn't have known it from the first run of the race, but gradually worked himself in a contention and showed that he had a car that was capable of finishing inside the top ten. Nothing that we saw in the speed chart to really suggested that he would be as good as what some of his comments illustrated there. When we go from some of the favorites we start to get into the value propositions. And these are drivers all priced at ten to one or greater. And you can kind of throw a blanket over a number of them. We can start with Ross Chastain back to back top 5 finishes after three straight outside the top ten, 5 top 5s this year and 6 top tens overall did finish third at Fontana earlier this year. Like you mentioned though, that wasn't exactly a hot slick racing surface. It was just high tire wear. As far as his Darlington formed nothing to write home about last season, finished 20th and 30th, the 30th comes in the heels of an accident. 7 trips here in his career, I'm not even gonna bring that up because he was in such inferior equipment that all it's going to do is distort a picture. Ross Chastain very much relevant this week on how are you handicapping the one car? Yeah, kind of the same as every week, I guess last week he did have a better qualifying than anticipated, but the number still was there. You were still able to get like 11 or 12 to one, whereas a lot of guys were talking about that 14 to one price when it opened and I told people to shy away from that because I didn't think his number would drop that much. He looked good at qualified thing in third. You still were able to get him at double digit odds before the race. So I think more of the same with that. I do think there'll be points throughout this race where we think Ross Chastain will be the best car just a matter of will they be able to stay up and manage those changes to the track and I don't know. I just expect some sort of fireworks from Ross. I don't know whether he's going to who's going to kick the shit out of this week or who he's going to rack or I don't know. He's just so marketable right now and everyone's talking about him and whether you love him or you hate him. He's going to be there. And it'll be interesting to see how things play out this week. Steven Willie beamon, William Byron driver of the 24 car, three straight top 7 finishes, third, fourth and 7th. He's led 200 plus laps over the last three races. The majority of those coming at Dover owns two wins this season and is one of just a handful of drivers leading the circuit in top 5 finishes column with 5 when you look at his past day races, four finishes of 7th or better. He's led 18% of all laps in the Cup Series when it comes to Darlington form three top tens in his last 5 trips here, a career best finish of fourth to his credit. Willem Byron pre week. Willem in the mix or wait and see. Okay, this is probably my favorite pre week favorite price or just someone that I think does have a little bit of value. He's still running great right now. You know, he was off to a rough start at Kansas, but the work is way back into a race. And man, they got that thing rolling towards the second half of that race. I expect him to run well, I expect him to qualify well. You know, obviously kind of a tainted finish there last spring and was able to battle back and kind of get past that. I think that I think that this is probably the best price. I've seen on the outright market just because I could see that those odds plummet. I could see him. If he looks good in practice or puts it on the pole, remember, there is not a better pit stall in NASCAR arguably than that first pit stall here at Darlington. So whoever gets that first pit stall if he looks fast and practice, I could see him at 6 and a half or 7 to one. That's why I don't mind, you know, maybe a small play on that ten to one William Byron price. The portion of the program where you tell us why we have to pre weak Kyle Busch, do you want to go into it now and try to justify your decision making or tell us we want to take wait and see. On the heels of his worst finish of the season at Kansas, of course, because of an incident not indicative of the kind of car he had under him. When we look at Darlington form three straight finishes outside the top 30 ironically enough, engine accident accident before that he'd had 6 to 7 trips that resulted in all in finishes of 7th or better, hasn't won here though since back in 2008, I know they're throwing it all the way back to the Fontana race where Kyle Busch had his first career win as a member of RCR. How are you handicapping rowdy this weekend? Man, you know, did you see that rec last week? Did you see how hardy he hit the inside wall? Didn't look comfortable, I'll tell you that much. Well, but it also didn't look like it did that, did that much damage, and he just kind of threw it. He just like, oh, we're cooked. Days over. I don't know. I feel like, I don't know. I am now selling Kyle Busch. Ten to one for sure. That is, don't bet that. I just don't see that being the, it would be shocking to me if he just went out there and qualified well and let a bunch of laps in one. Now, I certainly think he could get that car better, but you're going to see a better price than ten to one. I'd be shocked. Remember, even at Fontana, he did struggle and I guess they didn't practice and qualify. But I don't know. Ten to one is not, that's not a ten to one race car at this point in the season. Christopher Bell, anywhere from 12 to one on the low end upwards of 14 throughout the market when we look at the 20 car 5 top 5s this season 8 top tens, which is actually the best in the Cup Series. Three finishes outside the top ten for racing incidents other than that, the only time he finished outside the top ten was a 16th place at Martinsville when we look at how he's performed at Darlington, 5th and 6th place finishes last year, but he did have stage points in all four stages. Yeah, I think I don't mind this price either. Obviously, the 14 to one, I like more than 12, I know. Here's where this is where you get the hard hitting information. That's why they pay you. That's why they pay you the big bucks. And you call yourself the medium bucks. Yeah. But yeah, there's something about seeing 14 versus 12. I feel like you could just kind of value that him. He's gonna be around. Do I think he's gonna go out there and lead a bunch of laps? No, but I'll tell you what, late in the race, anything can happen. And if you just have someone that's kind of running kind of consistently in the top 6, maybe a fast pit stop and a late race restart, he'll be there. You know, I'm not gonna argue with anyone that wants to take Chris Bell. I will say this. He's been so consistent all year, but he hasn't had that race winning speed outside of the Bristol dirt, which I still think was kind of gifted to him by those guys take tires. So, you know, he has kind of been a 12 to one car week in and week out just because he's been around, but never fast enough to go and say, oh, man, do I need to go live that Chris Bell outside of the Bristol dirt. So I think that the sportsbooks have had him kind of overvalued. On the outright market, not in the match up market because he's had great finishes, but I don't think he's had inside a ten to one type car, even I guess even at Bristol dirt, I thought that there were guys that were better than him. So I think he's now properly priced, but all of a sudden you see 14 to one on him and it's like, well, you know, he's going to be around. If he avoids issues throughout the race, he's going to be in the top 5 and a chance to win the race, you know, maybe pit road and the final restart, he could be there. So we'll see what happens. I do like a 14 to one on Chris Bell though. Kevin Harvick, very similar price range to Chris spell when you look at how he's raced at Darlington 33rd and fourth last year. Why do I bring up that 33rd place finish? Because it ended a streak of 13 straight top tens for Kevin Harvick at Darlington the last time he didn't finish in the

"Every other intermediate track, it was Harvick Hamlin Harvick Hamlin Harvard Hamlin and back in 2019, it was Eric Jones grabbing the checkered flag. As we often do, I feel like favorites are the best place to start and we can go after the household names, which puts us with the two drivers that battled for the win last weekend at Kansas. Kyle Larson widely available in that 5 to one range if you shop around there still are some 6s and Denny Hamlin priced at 6 to one for the most part. When we look at those two drivers, the floor is yours in terms of what direction you want to go. Darlington formed for Kyle Larson 36 and 12th in the two trips here last year. Meanwhile, Denny Hamlin, 5 of the last 7 times we've been here. He's finished inside the top 5. Yeah, I mean, at this point, I don't think either one of them require a look or an investment at this point in the week. I don't know who's going to unload better. You know, I think that they're going to be running in the top three all day. And to pick someone that you think is going to be better at this point in the week, I think it would be really, really hard. I'd love to hear an explanation or a strong strong support one way or the other because at this point, I mean, I think that there are going to be up there with Truex and with William Byron. I don't know who's going to be better out of the two of them at this point. If I have to look at track history, man, I mean, obviously, Denny's one here at bunch. And but Larson's been competitive. So I'd give the slight edge to any Hamlin, but at this point, I think you just kind of wait and let the week unfold a little bit. Hey, it makes a ton of sense. And I mean, when you're looking at numbers that short, we've talked about it until we're blue in the face. The numbers ain't gonna get that much shorter. Unless one of those guys goes out there and is 5, ten, 15, 20 lap averages are absolutely lapping the field. But those aren't the only drivers listed in single digits, a teammate of Denny Hamlin, Martin Truex, junior is up there in a car that he owns in Tyler Redick. Truex pretty much 7 to one, I've seen some numbers shorter out there and we'll call the consensus on Reddick 9 to one when we look at Martin Truex Junior followed up his Dover victory with a solid 8th place run at Kansas last week led 79 laps, second only to Kyle Larson appears to be hitting his stride. When we talk about his Darlington form, don't be fooled by his 31st and 24th place finishes last year, had a water pump issue and an accident, not exactly indicative of where he was running at the times of those incidents. Meanwhile, Tyler Reddick finished 9th Sunday with 23 laps led, but really didn't feel like a car that was going to factor into the equation as far as race winning capabilities. 6 top ten runs, however, though, in his past 9 races, he has led a 133 laps this season, but 41 of those came at coda and 69 on the Bristol dirt. So intermediate tracks not where he's doing a lot of his damage, but he had a pair of top three finishes here last year. Can I interest you on the other two drivers listed in single digits? Well, I think Martin Truex Junior is going to be competing for this race win. He's really, really good here. And I think he's kind of catching astride. It's crazy what a win can do out there leading laps last week and at certain points of the race by far the best car. I think Denny even talked about it on his podcast that he thought that Martin was a little bit better in the short run, but I don't know that anyone was better than Denny. I certainly think Martin Truex Junior could go out there and lead a ton of laps and win this race. Tyler Reddick, on the other hand, I understand why he's priced that way, but we just haven't seen the speed out of that 45 or the 8. I guess if you throw Kyle Busch in there, neither one of them have performed a little bit. I think that there's just a learning curve there. Maybe their adjustment off or the communications on getting that car right. Maybe that's maybe that's a little bit of an issue with those new teams. I think that if you would give me Tyler Reddick at maybe 14 or 15 to one, I might be interested, but that price isn't going anywhere, even if he goes out there and pulls it. I do not see that price drop in much below 8 to one. So I say, let's just see practicing qualifying and then go from there. And at this point, you know, listening to driver comments and practice and qualifying is going to be really important because everyone's going to have a ton of fall off. And a lot of the times that for the most part, that fall off is going to be uniform across all the drivers in the race. It's just a matter of, okay, who feels comfortable moving around and searching to find speed. So I'm looking for drivers that are comfortable in their car. And I just don't think that that Tyler Reddick's quite comfortable in that new ride yet until we get to another road course where I expect him to be the favorite. No, it makes a ton of sense.

"I think that if this was actually taken seriously, they should have a committee put together the bracket, not necessarily based on points, right? Because points we've had points taken away and there's been penalties and guys with DNFs that maybe are running better than they should because it would have been awesome if it was Hamlin versus Larsen at Sonoma for the championship of this fake bracket. So I feel like if they put a little bit more thought into it, you could actually have a committee put together who they think is running the best or hell, have us do it. We'll do it. Yeah, I mean, daddy, if you're out there listening to the podcast or anybody from dirty mo tuning in, let us know, we can try and have a little fun with it. And the nice part about this, we can set up another bracket once this one ends at Sonoma. Should this be a real exercise that they want to do? We know we're not going to get a sponsor in their offering a $1 million prize or some astronomical number to the driver, but you can do this in 5 week increments and have a little bit of fun before the drama really gets ratcheted up with the ten week stretch for the playoffs in a way to championship. Yeah, because I think the first chase and Chastain were matched up in the first round. Like, come on, I understand how they just, it was really easy just to set it by points, but that's not a realistic first round matchup. You know, that's not what are the 8 9 matchup that you see in the yeah, the NCAA tournament. Josh, the NCA tournament. So I just think it'd be better if they had taken just some more time or they just threw out there in a podcast. So the fact that it's come to this is pretty awesome. But if they had actually had the people that are in the know in this industry put together, I think a very fair ranking. I think it would have been a lot more fun. And you'd see less minus three 30 prices in the second round, right? So either way, I still think it's great people are talking about it. People are talking about NASCAR more on social media than they have in a while with the whole fight last week and the way that the race ended. So I think all of this stuff is good for the sport. Just maybe put a little bit more time into what will happen in the future if you don't rank these guys properly. Yeah, it's a little bit of buzz and I think look, credit to NASCAR and some of the guys there. Denny has done more for the sport with his outspoken opinions. Obviously a little bit polarizing in a variety of capacities, but it's what NASCAR needs and you like to see that from me. One of the better drivers in the sport and obviously joining with an ownership stake, bringing in some fresh blood and the likes of Michael Jordan and some unique sponsors there. So as I look at the bracket, honestly, Chris. I mean, this thing would take a lot to try and unpack. I mean, Chastain is the one C takes on Suarez in the round of 16 and then they go to Charlotte taking on the winner at kessel low ski Elmer rola before they get to gateway. A lot of chaos to be had there, but encourage folks that if you're a NASCAR fan and you haven't seen this to go check out the bracket. A lot of fun as much a discussion topic as anything else. All right, we'll wave the green white checkered flag on stage two and on to stage three, we go to preview this weekend's Goodyear 400 from Darlington in lovely, South Carolina. When we talk about Darlington worm, this is a track with many nicknames. The lady in black, the track too tough to tame, and it gets its moniker lady in black because the night before the race, the track maintenance crew used to cover the track with fresh asphalt sealant in the early years of the speedway, making the racing surface dark black. See, I learned new things every time I do some impressive. For this podcast, it's known for its Darlington stripes and its unique configuration that typically takes paint off the race cars a little bit different now with some of the wraps that are there. When we're talking about track specifics, a 1.366 mile oval shape getting into turns one and two very different than getting into turns three and four. The reason for the oval shape because of a property owner that didn't want to relocate his minow pond when the track was built in the late 40s. We're back to racing here twice a year despite initial concerns from NASCAR over the last decade about declining attendance. The spring race of 400 miler compared to The Crown jewel, southern 500, which has taken its rightful spot back on Labor Day weekend. When we talk about track comparisons, this is where I defer to your level of expertise. I think there are some logical ones, but I want to hear your thoughts rather than me putting stuff out there for you to tell me how fucking dumb I really am. Well, I mean, I don't even need to need a reason to say that to you. It's a very good point. It's a very full point. But so obviously the comparisons with tire wear, you can go ahead and look at Fontana from this year. And then even a little bit of Kansas and I want to touch on that in a second. The four, I guess sheets that I have pulled up are obviously both Darlington races from last year. I also have just the track history since 2014 in the loop data kind of all jumbled together into one sheet. And then I have just the combined loop data stats from both races last year. And man, I'm really having a hard time in saying what I would put the most important track comp of all of those. Man, so here's the thing. It's going to be hot and slick. And we haven't seen hot and slick since last week, but that's the only time we've really seen hot and slick this year on a similar track comp. So as much as I want to take a look at last year and say, oh, well, obviously Joey Logano is going to be really good or Eric Jones is going to be really good. We saw two really we saw a night race and then we saw a cold race in the spring. So I don't know that last year's track comps are going to be as important as they might be for some other tracks. This year, man, I almost look back at Kansas and then and just the history from like 2014 and I'm just that's an arbitrary time. If you go back far enough, you're going to get an idea of who's been good recently over the last 9 years. And I'm going to use just kind of track history. For the last 9 years, and then I'm going to just who's running well and who ran well at Kansas and who was good over the long run and who was able to make passes because it was tough to pass the Kansas last week. It's going to be tough to pass again this week. You're going to have to there's going to be slide job left and right. We saw that last Sunday. And we're going to see it again this Sunday. So I'm going to say history at the track and then I'm going to say Kansas ahead of last year's Darlington. It's an interesting way to look at it for sure knowing that the racing conditions are going to be much more similar to that than what we saw transpire last season. When we look at recent history at this track, Eric Jones is the best average finish of any driver all time, slightly outside the top 5. That of course comes with a caveat. He was insignificantly better equipment than what we're going to see him racing around come Sunday, but you look at the winners last year, Eric Jones wins the playoff race, Joey Logano won in the spring. Denny Hamlin wins the playoff race in 2021. It was Martin Truex Junior grabbing the win in the spring and the 2020 season we actually raced here three times during the pandemic. And like every other intermediate track, it was Harvick Hamlin Harvick Hamlin Harvard Hamlin and back in 2019, it was Eric Jones grabbing the checkered flag. As we often

"Were robbed of potentially one of the greatest finishes we could have seen in NASCAR. If those guys were too wide coming off a four, I think that would have been awesome. But I'm going to go ahead and grade this as a racing incident. And although I'm bummed out that I kind of got the raw end of that stick. You know, I can't blame Denny for going out there and winning a race. He needed to get a win. And especially when his team was flawless on pit road. He needed a perfect race in order to win, and he got that from his team on pit road, so it was good that he was able to capitalize. Now, when it comes to this Gregson Chastain, man, for the first time I tweeted something where I lost followers. And I said that Gregson's not the hero we wanted, but the hero we needed. And I forget how many people hate Noah Gregson. Everyone is just like, oh, you and I have a different definition of hero. I'm like, okay, listen, not like a real hero. But you know what? He actually did something to Ross, like physically. And you could tell you could read Ross's lips. I got loose. And you know that that's probably a horse shit. You know, it might be true, but that's what he has to say. And then for Gregson to kind of get green and green lighted and smacked and then get his punch blocked by the guy in gold was kind of, I don't think Gregson saw that whole altercation going that way. But you know, hey, go for the sport, man. Ross Chastain is really good for NASCAR. And I think Noah Gregson is also good for NASCAR. So we'll see what happens, but man, Ross just he just doesn't make mistakes. If he does, he comes out smelling like a rose. I mean, the guy's extremely talented. Now we can pump the brakes a little bit on the comparisons between Ross Chastain as a villain to Dale senior, knowing that Dale senior was a champion before he pulled all those things. And you know what? Ross may become a champion before his career is done track house is obviously made a serious investment in him and you see some of the potential out there. But if I'm Noah Gregson, there is no doubt I'm frustrated, not just because of Ross Chastain, knowing that every single week that I unload, the best finish I possibly have is 30th, unless I'm going to a super speedway. Legacy motor club, not exactly picking up where petty GMS of sorts left off last year, and you can see exactly how frustrating that's become not just for him, but also his teammate and Eric Jones. You can follow Chris on Twitter at Chris wormy 15 if memory serves me correct. I should know this by now. You can follow me on Twitter at Todd fuhrman. Most importantly, as always, follow the podcast at bet the board pod. From stage one to stage two. And for those folks, you don't follow a lot of the content being put out by dirty mo media. Denny Hamlin's actions detrimental. He pitched a very interesting concept, and it was a midsummer bracket that he had talked about. Obviously, there are no true on track implications other than for bragging rights amongst drivers. It's not like a dash for the cash, but it gained significant traction on social media. And what it is for those folks that may not be familiar with it. It was a 32 driver bracket seated one through 32. You picked all of the head to head matchups and ultimately there's your champion crowned after Sonoma. So for those folks that handicapped it, they looked at the numbers, they went through all of it. And you and I Chris thought it'd be a great exercise, figuring that most books weren't going to be smart enough to set our own odds on what the round of 16 matchup should be. Lo and behold, about an hour before we come on air, I'm flipping through number of sports books, making sure the numbers are updated the way they're supposed to be. And I see Caesar's actually pulls down all of the matchups they set earlier in the week and puts up bracket matchups. So when we begin to look at some of those numbers, obviously, again, no implications on track. There are betting implications for a lot of this stuff. Is there a matchup that you see that's fascinating that you thought that the books were a little bit off on when we did our exercise versus what you see at Darlington? And then I'll get your take on the big picture in general. Well, I would say, I just think the most intrigued when I mean Hamlin Larson. I mean, it's a championship caliber matchup between the 16. Yeah, I think that you could easily put those guys in a class of their own. You just say Truex Hamlin and Byron right now seem to really be kind of setting themselves apart. You know what Chastain maybe just outside of there. So I think that to see those guys, they both understand that that's almost the championship in my opinion. So, you know, I think that's the most intriguing one, obviously, because I feel like that person is the favorite moving forward. When it came to the numbers that we kind of thought about, we had Keselowski and Eric Almirola. We made cats a favorite, but it wasn't the massive favorite that he was released at Caesar's. So I don't think Keselowski should be a massive favorite over anyone. I mean, he just disappeared last week. I do give him the edge, obviously, going into going into a high tire where track at Darlington this week. But I don't know. I mean, you're going to have a huge favorite with Harvick over Stenhouse. That's just like, okay, if Harvick doesn't have an issue, he wins that. He stays on the track. He's going to be okay. So yeah, so that's just like, okay, let's just figure out how many times Harvick has an issue or finishes like two laps down or more. And then that's how you calculate that price based on that percentage. So other than that, I mean, Blaney Wallace is kind of interesting because they're both terrible there. It'll be the battle of the sucks between that group. And then, you know, Chastain Suarez, I mean, they're not in the same zip code this year. So I wouldn't think that Suarez has just an unless something happens to Chastain. I don't see any way for him to win that match up. If this was a real bracket and something that you had to look at based on the tracks and look, Denny is a visionary and exactly what the sport needs to think outside the box. But I'm also going to go one step further and say that Denny is no dummy. And when he pitched his bracket, I'm sure in the back of his mind, he knew this was a stretch of tracks that he was going to run very well at. Obviously the culmination would be its Sonoma and you have to advance through this fictitious bracket. If you were handicapping from the outside coming in because who knows? Maybe one of the sportsbooks is actually going to hang numbers on odds to win this fictitious bracket because it will take place on the track. I mean, as Larson, the favorite knowing that he's run a little bit better at Sonoma, but he obviously has to get through Denny at Darlington this weekend, even be in the discussion. Yeah, I don't have the bracket sitting right in front of me, so it's really hard to kind of figure out who has the easiest road. But I can tell you right now, it's tough to make Hamlin or Larson the favorite this week when one of them is going to be gone. I think that if this was actually taken seriously, they should have a committee put together the bracket, not necessarily based on points, right? Because points we've had points taken

"Part of the one tree podcast network. We wrap up everything we saw on fold at the mile and a half track. Kansas, we begin to look ahead towards one of the more bed able tracks this weekend at Darlington and we'll also give Chris his props for riding the hot hand into the podcast. I am your host Todd Furman joined as always by that of four mentioned racing analyst and my colleague here on the stay green show Chris wormy and wormser four straight best bets for straight best bets in the win column, my friend, stay white hot, much like Denny Hamlin. Yeah, this is, it's good to have these little runs. I feel like, you know, we're not only catching breaks, but you know, I feel like we're kind of making the right investments at the right point in the week too. You know, I think that we're beating the market. Although that Larson matchup didn't close where I thought it might, I still felt comfortable that Larson was going to be better than Reddick and that worked out well. So it's good to, you know, it's good to get hot. You're going to need to have these in a certain point throughout the season to keep that ROI high. So as long as we kind of keep this going, as long as we can, I'll keep taking the W's. Yeah, there is no doubt about it. You ride the wave when you can and for those folks who may be tuning into the stay green podcast for the very first time. We offer up a best bet on every show as those roll out on Thursday, but we also break down some of the head to head match ups or some of the markets once we have a little bit more data to analyze closer to race day. So always encourage you folks to check out the bet the board podcast website for any updates there and we always reshare that stuff on social and it's why you need to have yourself a number of outs as we try and look for on screen matchups or numbers that are widely available at regulated shops. As far as the format around here, I know I sound like a broken record. Stage one, it's all about a recap of what we saw last. Stage two put a little spin on it and we'll talk about Denny Hamlin's dirty mo bracket and some of the head to head matchups that a prominent sports book hung prices on, although it did become an exercise in futility for the two of us as we set some of our own numbers. And of course, a full breakdown of the Goodyear 400 from Darlington, South Carolina. So I guess the first question I have for you, Chris, right out of the gates, was Kansas a good race. I mean, I love the green flag run to start things. I was glad we finished with a long green flag run, although I wish it was one lap shorter, but did you feel it was a great race, like a lot of the racing community has been talking about since we saw that unfold on Sunday. Yeah, I thought it was a good race. I don't know if it was a great race. It was a great ending to a good race. I thought that, you know, the cautions, kind of in the middle, selfishly, I feel like we do a better job of predicting long green flag drawn out racist. That's where we typically tend to better so to have caution after caution that got a little redundant there at the start of stage three or kind of the end of stage two. And I guess, I guess that's more of a selfish thing. And a lot of the issues were kind of one car spins, and that's good. That means that these cars are on edge and they're tending to struggle, where my issue did lie was, you know, they had 8 sets of tires. When you get back to back cautions like that, entires start to become an issue. I don't really like it when that's the case, just because it's really unpredictable. But in the end, we did get a long green flag run. I was happy to have that. We were naked on Hamlin and we were heavy on Larsen. As were my life bets, I did have a little bit of Hamlin, but I ultimately thought that Larsen would be able to hold them off, but man, Denny was so strong. I guess all the Toyotas were so strong in that long run. I still like the way that because it ended well, or at least had a good ending. I'll call it a good race. You know, it's pretty wild. And I think I feel like we've talked about it for multiple seasons even before we launched this podcast last year. As the mercury continues to inch up and we get high 80s low 90s ambient temperature, a 120 plus on the track. It's almost automatic that that's when JGR cars come to life. And whether that's because of Toyota or the driving styles, you can almost set your watch by it. I think a lot of it has to do with driving styles. I mean, you could take true X and Hamlet and those guys are going to be good when it's hot and slick, so is Kyle Larson. You know, those guys that are used to driving off that right rear. And a lot of the dirt guys are good. They're used to sliding around. So it wears on those tires and the sport needs tire wear for good racing. So we got that at Kansas. Kansas become a great track, man. Last year, both races were really good. And I think it's becoming very predictable from a betting perspective. I wish we got to see some longer runs in practice and in order to kind of see who really is the best. You know, maybe 40 laps into a run. But either way, I love the way that that track is unfolding. With that being said, I'm sure they'll make a change to it. It'll go away if we don't NASCAR. You know, honestly, though, I think NASCAR doesn't really need to keep tinkering with the mile and a half intermediate packages. That's where we've had some of our best racing. Their focus should be on the short tracks trying to figure out what they can do with tire fall off or a variety of other things, whether it's raising horsepower to make those more entertaining races. And just to kind of put a cap on some of what we saw on track, Denny Hamlin ended his 33 race drought 6 days after his teammate Martin Truex Junior on that Monday at Dover ended a 50 plus race winless streak. So obviously a good handful of days to be a JGR driver. And when you look at Hamlin's last lap pass for the win, it was the first to Kansas race ended up featuring 37 lean changes among 12 drivers. The most lead changes in NASCAR history in a 400 mile race on a one and a half mile intermediate speedway. And then of course, the shot heard round the world that was a fight. It wasn't a fight. Curious to get your take on the interaction between Ross Chastain and Noah Gregson. Well, I guess I kind of want to touch in on Denny in Larsen here too. Yeah, for sure. Go ahead, I don't want to cut you off. So yeah, you know, as someone that had full disclosure, heavy on Larson and very light on Denny Hamlin, you know, I definitely wanted to see Larson win that race. In his car had completely gone away at that point, you know? And you could see it, even when he stepped it out on Denny to like 8 tenths of a second. You know, it didn't take him more than a lap or two to get back right on his rear bumper. Now, it was really hard to pass still. You know, there was pretty much one lane, you know, one and a half lanes. It was either you were right on that top, rim riding, or you were maybe a lane or two lower, but even then, you know, if Larson was able to kind of get a good drive off of whether it was turned forward, turn two, it was really hard for me to make that pass on the inside. The only issue that I have. And I'm going to go ahead and call this a racing incident. I don't think Denny Hamlin meant to wreck Kyle Larson, Kyle kind of bounced off the wall a little bit. Denny gave him exactly no room, but enough room. And, you know, if you look at it straight on, like if you were looking like down to turn two from turn three, you can see Larsen come off the wall. But if you were just watching it, just straight on, like if you were watching it from the front stretch, it really did look like Denny got into him, especially because Larsen had such a strong run off of turn two. The one thing that I'm disappointed about. So again, this is a racing incident. I wish it didn't happen on the straight. Like if it happened in a corner, I can understand that a little bit more.

How would you describe this. Sort of health of the industry pre-crisis so this is an industry that runs on very thin margins as if you take the industry average in terms of profitability typically goodyear. The industry will generate three percent gross profits so it is not an industry that is typically very profitable. There's a lot of very very few berries of entry and it's very cyclical industry and so it's reasons of when the market's good aguero costs go up significantly because the input costs go up and win. The market's really bad. Obviously revenue dries up with the economy is sputtering and so because all those reasons. It's a very second goal. I industry so as you mentioned over the past five years.

So are LeBron and Michael Jordan. There's a group of their own there in the penthouse. Okay, there Anything else? That's too is he? Is he better than Kobe Bryant. Steph. Yes, I think he's there. I think he's there, don't you? I mean, Kobe Bryant has five chips. I mean, yes, more accolades him in Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Way more actually says Yeah. Okay. Okay. Still going five years? Five years. Okay, Shack. Yeah. Come on. Second of three Peat shack is 33 time Finals MVP, right? That's just dominant factor in the most dominant players ever play the game shock having the league MVPs. I think so. I'm just put. I'm just saying you're asking me. I'm putting guys on the same floor if I have If I have a building, and I've got a penthouse, Jordan and LeBron or in the past, there's no other floor. There's no Yeah, that that's a floor that something has to be. The next floor will be Karim. Karim Shock Magic Johnson. Kareem played for 20 years of steps not done yet. So, as you said, technically complete body of work, I'm saying as of right now, as of right now, I'm not saying where is gonna be in five years around when he's 30? I'm projecting he will be. How about that? That's why I was our project. That too. I'm just saying as of right now, because people say he's the second greatest point guard. Okay, That's magic. So Magic is ahead of him with Magic championships. Tim Duncan has five chips. More defensive awards. You can you're going with that. Versus like that I'm going through him for a team that for 20 years, 1 50 games every year never had a losing season. They were always great. What steps doing this year and this is based off what legs is saying. I just want to say this and then you guys as the pros tell me if I'm wrong as a member of the media as that guy already started off wrong. Look, I thought, well, no, no, We are the curious of the sport. That's what we do. And so I look at it, and I say you know what? What he did during the Warriors. Quote Unquote Dynasty years. Fantastic cause he was still one of their main guys there. Alcohol. Absolutely, player absolutely also has all the awards, but what he's done this year. The team that was going south. But it seemed that looked like a lot of other guys would have just pulled the plug like this team's not good enough. We're too young knocks me. They don't have to win. He turned it from Not liking the way we're playing to let me show you how to do it, and he has carried them since then. So with that, if they went to not get into the postseason, this to me adds to his legacy, despite the fact that they exist when you are great and don't have a lot of greatness around you and still dragged your team's still accomplish something major, like Dragonflies, your greatness and what I would say in what I was saying is part of everything you said into kind of put a sweetener on top. He changed the style of play in the NBA. The shot that we saw LeBron James make the other night wouldn't have taken place. If it wasn't for Steph Curry. That's right. They wouldn't never. He would never even tried. That wouldn't have needed it, wouldn't it? It would just wouldn't have been a shot that was even On our television screens assed far as the whole top 10 and if he's this and that It's hard because everybody That's on Jay's list is already done, right. That's what I said, because you even any end in the year. Kevin Durant's gonna be in there somewhere. Yes, right. I mean, I would seek Sydney and Kevin Durant is going to be in there somewhere, So it's kind of like it's still going on. Right? It's always It's always a fluid list because this players that was still playing and there's gonna be some guys that are gonna move. But you could tell that detective you could tell Jae in sports. Projection side of where those individuals they're still playing going to end up like if everything goes well, and Kevin Durant stays healthy, he's gonna probably slide in the top five, right? I mean, that's just kind of what you see. If Steph Curry stays healthy, Clay Thompson comes back and they're able to win one or two more because they had a piece or two. Did he slides into that top 567? I mean, it's just what it is. It's still going on. Let's call the straight talk about by straight talk wireless Gaja. It's just interesting even here like the hypotheticals because I heard legs on the sound that said. You know if Katie doesn't go there something along these lines that's correct that the body of work for Steph will be well look a lot different because he would put up a lot of bigger numbers, and he would have to carry the load differently. I said, Okay. Like that is correct. It would have been different, but like do they win two more championships? Without coming to read. I.

"The Goodyear Hotline. Out on infra Zubin. I'm just glad, because now I'm thinking about every kid that is going into their high school grammar school is going if you're the star player like when you're JV team like, Look. Hey, John. I'm a need you locker right now. You're next to me. I'm gonna need two lockers. I'm gonna be a two locker to locker. My locker got now. I was thinking also, How buddy Like you know again, Jags. Just a guy like me sitting in their car. Listen to show they're like I think I'm going to lock or God. Yeah, I should be a two locker guy You almost like almost like a cubicle guy. Give me two cubicles. Please go to The number. You need to take that wall down. Deserved to Cuba. Question and numbers. You don't you know, cubicle? No, man, I need the corner office with the window. You don't want to be too much. You won't ask for two years. And if I'm gonna do pushing the numbers, But if you work your way up from the ground floor of you gotta take God takes a process You can. Everybody kept me Keyshawn Johnson right out of the game. You gotta work towards it. It's not about that. I work toward it. Had certainly worked on and I am made. Yes, you did. Yes. And I have no problem. If you want to call me deeper. Call me deeper. Now you're okay with being a diva. The whole last segment. You're angry that we were referring to you as a diva, but I embrace it. I don't have a problem with it Didn't hurt me real quick. Don't hurt me. I'm happy with my career. So that's what you should be. If you're pushing numbers, it was J Stop. It could be a diva members. That e can't get a medical, though, but it wasn't It looks better called video. But you want, however you want video article didn't hurt me. I enjoy it Say that should have been your thing like way Jake comes before Kay. What are we doing here? She talked this through, but it's just It's interesting about the whole diva conversation. People. It's it's I think people look at it as Bath a negative negative. But if that's what you because of your tough to deal with, but that's your superpower. That's also what makes you incredible on the field or on the court, and I don't call it deep. I call it like you have superior confidence. And there's a lot of people that lack confidence using kind of your lack confidence, right? I think about when a guy walks into a place or a person walks into a place and I guess I need that sea or I need that table. You like Sometimes you're like, Wait. Who are you My talking? Yeah, I wanted, but it just sets that tone. Sometimes for people it does. That's the kid and your Grace's home. That's what the Celtics are missing. Yes, they're missing their missing that Jason data is that God would agree. But Jason isn't Jason Tatum isn't like rock right? His eyes play on the court is that but not like They need that they needed somebody like that. If you don't have if you don't have that raw You probably not going to win. Can't fake it. I'm just being honest with you. You just think about In basketball. If they if everybody is won championships. Got they're wrong in there. Yeah, they got the dog, and so every every leader on a championship team Got that it in them. You ain't all little passive. Who? That ain't gonna get you? No way. I think Jason Tatum can get there. I think he's still young in the process of doing you gotta have a killer man. So let's hear you out of people like that. That have the Russell we're asking on at Ki Jae and Z on Twitter outside of LeBron James. So we know has the raw, right? Who has the most pressure to win an NBA championship this season. The options there James Harden, Kevin Durant, Johannes or other and one of the first replies we got at Cincy, CTK says. LeBron LBJ has nothing to prove. You really don't know. I don't think he does it all E don't think there's any pressure on the ball. I think there's the most pressure on the wrong which is why we phrase that outside of LeBron, I don't think there's pressure on the usual wise pressure on LeBron is because I'm putting the pressure on it. I needed to get the second one. Well, you're coming for Laker legacy. Yeah, that's what I want to pressure him to be late. Like I wanted to be able to get the second one so we could think about putting him on the other side. Who would you say the Harden Durant. The honest or other J. Would go, Johannes. Because Katie and carry already have three championships be between them. I'm granted. People want to see Katie do that in Brooklyn. I just go back to like, Be honest, is a two time MVP. Be honest, This team has gotten retooled. You got drew holiday. You get some other pieces there to help out this team get to the next level. I want to see if Milwaukee can actually finally close the deal. And get to an Eastern Conference championship and get to a world championship Because Yonas has the pieces around him. See, I you would say I disagree with J. I think is Cady, though, okay? And the reason I think is Katie because So many people dislike him. They just don't like him. For what? It's almost like a LeBron thing. People want to sweat Katie from leaving. Okay, Si and joining Golden State if not giving him the credit for the championships, even though he was the baller on the team when they won the championships. And he leaves there with such like, Oh, I'm approved. Your I could do it without them. So he comes to Brooklyn, even though he partnered with Kyrie still left Golden State if he the stated goal of state they still be cooking and win the championship, but he had something to prove. To the people. Not on his burner account, but the ones that are actually out there chirping on a daily basis about what type of player he is. What type of heart does he have? So I think it's him that has more to prove than anybody in the NBA right now because of Golden State and how he left gold. The only thing I say just to provide context where he is coming off an Achilles injury. Yeah, People don't care about that, You know, but that's no I hear you. But that is the reality of his first year like if you tell me next year that everybody's healthy on that team that they don't do it. I still think it would be a disappointment. If they don't do it this year for sure Don't look like his Achilles is nothing wrong with me like that's what about that's one of my favorite players in the NBA man and in I don't give a damn what nobody say about him when he went to go state like I tell people all the time If I would have left.

As with Kaidan Smith Safety at Appalachian State University. Okay, He's a phenomenal young man. He is. He is a brilliant young man and a great football player. And when McGee and I did the Myrtle Beach Bowl Down and down in Myrtle. And APP was playing against North Texas. I found this article online at Sporting co dot com. I think the Caden had written. He's an aspiring media personality. He wants to kind of do what we do in some capacity. And a red this piece about his level of college football for players of his level. What in aisle means? And it was Maura about the opportunity to have a podcast that sponsored or or write for a newspaper and and make money off that our website whatever and make money off of those types of things, and it was really enlightening to me. It really opened my eyes to what it could mean for these young people. From that capacity. And then I had a conversation with Kate. We talked on the phone. He he wanted to. He reached out and wanted to have a conversation. Maura, about media and whatnot. Brilliant young man, Unlimited future. And I was really inspired by his perspective about denial. Can't wait to see what the thing is. I just don't know what it is yet. I don't think I have Ah, smart enough mind to see all of all of the scope of it. But I do foresee. I do foresee it being a little bit of a mess for some people. Because if you have people with a lot of money, who already have power because they have all of that money within programs. When they legally have all that power. I just feel like it compounds itself. I might be wrong. I'm really with you. And I'm willing to hear your feedback on if you if you think we're wrong on this, and why, Because it's all new, and that was my point. Which is that today and dance, right? You know. Those again. I joke but Buddy Garrity and Happy news guys. They've always been around you and I get cornered by these guys, hotel bars and airports and stadiums all the time. But the difference is Is it? It's one thing if those guys who already think they run everything Have to do it with some sort of shadowy, you know, restrictions for seeing if you are the A. D. You you take his money you do with them, and it's great and they have the skybox and they get to have a meeting with you all the time to complain about. You should be playing someone so But now you are giving them Maura of that power. And you're giving them a much more front facing and legally backed. Hours. Yeah, and that again? Maybe I'm wrong. But I would you, I I just I feel like, um I feel like the predictions of the Wild, Wild West more accurate than not, and I think there's a huge advantage to having a team. That is in a major metropolitan area for sure. Then then it is if you're out in the middle of nowhere, a national brand, right? I mean, if you're in Tuscaloosa or your Auburn or I mean there was behind it. Georgia, Alabama, Florida Whatever this sure, even like West Virginia. It's the protein mountain model for Mama's Day..

J will in Zubin 6 A.m. eastern 6 A.m. Eastern, Right here on your ESPN radio stations. Across the country across the world. But Jake came bursting into the studio because Monica and I were debating whether Sporting event is a good date and we had a lot of people saying yes, sporting event is a great date. But J vehemently disagrees. And so we wanted to give him the forum. Clap back jy is sporting event a bad date and and let me clarify because I am I am now married and my wife and I are part of the season ticket package for the New York Giants. So so we do go to sporting events together, but As a date before we were married. I don't think so. You guys started off the whole conversation talking about your stereotypical male dinner and a movie. Well, you know, you go out for dinner and you're there. You know you have a little conversation, little small talk, and then you go to the movie were what don't you don't you don't talk. That's great, Jay you gotta you gotta was sporting about you got to sit there for three hours and find out someone talk about Yes, that's that's the point. You host SportsCenter all night. You talked for five hours. You can't find things to talk about during a giant game. I can do it. But what? And let me take it from this angle to what if she's not a big sports fan like we are? Yeah. You know what s so I'm also coming at it from that perspective, If if she or he is a great sports fan, maybe it works. Pro sports. Maybe it's not close. Maybe. What if you have minor league baseball near you? Is that a good date? Or is that look kind of cheap? But, Jay, I think you are. All of these things are to our point. It's an opportunity to learn. Now, if you are going as goal as hard core. I gotta pay attention every second. No, don't bring somebody with you. That's not fun. If there's a willingness to have a conversation, how does this person respond in this environment like it could be a terrible date, But I could still like this person and I just learned that we won't do sports together. It's okay. But But, Monica I heard you talking about the cost. That's an expensive way to learn that kind of stuff right now. I great Now you got me there. Frank totally told the guy, but I actually liked Jay's point. J. Reynolds SportsCenter all night will start at 1 A.m. Eastern, on most of these ESPN radio affiliates, joining US game night, ESPN radio Aaron Goldhammer monitoring not I like Jace. Point about the minor league baseball game because I actually think a minor league baseball game would be a great day because there's very little rooting interest in a minor league baseball game like is anybody like that die hard like You know, Richmond, whatever. Like you know it. Is that the diehard Columbus Clippers fan, you know? No. Most people are out there for a picnic there out there for a good time. The cost is less. You don't necessarily a good Sometimes the food is sneaky, good And often times you don't have to stay the whole game. Which sort of cuts down on your Most days all nine innings at a baseball game these days, and my hand is raised. There are two things I don't leave early church and sporting events, So okay, all right, that's a good rule. Fair roll. All right, All right. Well, we will hear more from J. Reynolds on SportsCenter. All night Wail here is takes on love and other things starting at one o'clock eastern on most of these ESPN radio stations. Thank you. J Happy Valentine's Day. You happy Valentine's Day, everybody So we mentioned heavy is the head that wears the crown right? The Lakers are the defending champs. They get everybody's best shot. Their second right now. In the Western Conference behind Utah. Monica who we talked about earlier are the Lakers the prohibitive championship favorites they play. Second game of our doubleheader on ESPN TV against the Nuggets on this Valentine's Day night. Yes, And I don't want anyone. I mean, how could they not be the favors? Let's just let's just break all the all this down. First of all, they returned. LeBron in a D, right like your finals. M V P. Wright was made the finals only few left. You know, Braun was finally okay. One of them Promise Finals. M v p. He is LeBron James like this is historical stuff that he's doing. Anthony Davis. Top 10 talent in the NBA. They returned those two. So now we've got continuity. They've added a terrific point guard. Intruder. Ah, great. Uh, I don't wanna call him three and because he doesn't shoot the three but a great defensive player, Energy guy and Montrose, Harold, they've still got this shooters that air coming along. I mean, you always need a guy on the floor that can space the floor and get some shots up. Um, I don't know how you could say they're not the favorite. Like who who would be the favorite. I guess my question there is only one team that has three superstars on And the Warriors used to have four. But the Nets have three real superstars. And if they figure out Monica how to even play average defense, I would put them right now. Neck and neck with the Lakers because I think doing it back to back years with one of the year's being the bubble that the Lakers know any of this is probably true for anybody. But if LeBron arrayed he has any kind of injury issue. Their championship. Iran is is done. I don't think they could overcome that. They're in the West, which is a harder road on guy think that if the Nets can put it together They have the talent absolutely, to give the Lakers all they could handle a knock them off. So I would to me. The biggest contender overall in the league is the Nets in the West. I don't I don't know that do you by the Clippers as a team that in that all Staples Western Conference final hypothetically, after what happened in the bubble with the Nuggets and blowing the 31 lead, Could the Clippers be that team? I do think that there's there's some legitimacy in sports to the redemption thing. I think what most recently the biggest one for me, is you via losing 16 1 and then coming back to win the title. I think that the Clippers We're very much embarrassed by the way things ended last year. They obviously tossed blame around Scott Scott. Excuse me, Doc Rivers is no longer with the organization but to me The two guys that we didn't hear a ton from as all this was unfolding, but that I think probably took it most personal would be Patrick Beverley Cole Island, and I may even throw the Williams in there. I think Paul George is a great talent. I think he probably has talked a little bit too much moving into this and then you know, he's a playoff. P has not been what we are. We're accustomed to back in Indiana to say the least. Or even he's been February. Pete Yes, Couple. Yeah. Like S so I do think that there's something there. The Clippers obviously are talented. They played terrific defense as a unit. Um and Kawai. What? Who has top five talent in the league for sure. So I think that there's something there. What they don't have to mean. Is the symmetry. Between LeBron and a D, and the uniqueness that a D present in terms of both defending and guarding him. This Portland Dallas game is it's going down to the wire here. Um yeah. Blazers up by three with 27. Seconds to go, Mavs Now one point game 1 19 1 18 with 26 2nd stuff will keep you posted there. Finish your point. Monica, I'm sorry s. Oh, yeah, I do think the Clippers are locked in. I still don't know that I would put the Clippers past the Lakers and honestly, Goldhammer, we started the night talking about the jazz. I'm so curious to see.

MLB announces revised 2021 Spring Training schedule
"Major league baseball announcing this afternoon. A revised two thousand twenty one spring training schedule with times. Cactus league teams like the reds are gonna play twenty. Eight came across thirty days with two off days and grapefruit. League clubs will play a regionalized scheduled. To mitigate travel afford the reds. They will start now. A day later than was originally planned reds playing the indians in goodyear on february the twenty eighth. We are sixteen days away from that. They'll have a day off on saturday march. Sixth on monday march twenty second. Finish up the cactus league on monday. March twenty ninth. They'll have to off days and then open the season in cincinnati against the saint. Louis cardinals a lot of these games we are. I think used for the most part spring training games taking place during the day and they've had more games at night in recent years certainly the last decade since they moved to arizona. I as a sarasota and before then plant city. The number of night games was typically pretty small. And there's been a few more. In recent years there are more for instance that first week of games. They played two games during the day and then four games at six o'clock mountain time. Eight o'clock here and then after that one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fifteen games in spring training which is not usual in fact. I'm looking here at their home games during the week pretty much. All of their home games are going to be at night. They have three saturday home games and then they have to. One o'clock games that are played during the day. And my guess here is. Maybe and i haven't looked at this. Because i'm kind of doing this on the is you could probably tell his night games against the indians to this year facility with but i wonder if that's in part because they want the indians to go and not travel as much so they're gonna play day games. I don't know but nonetheless more night games than usual but the date you care about. First game is against cleveland in goodyear february. The twenty eighth twenty.

WNBA players celebrate Warnock's projected win over Loeffler
"Right. Before the insurrection at the capital there was two senate runoff elections that the country had their is on in one of them. The reverend raphael warnock defeated the incumbent. Appointed senator kelly leffler in georgia. Kelly leffler for about ten years has been a partial owner of the atlanta dream of the wnba. She's now the majority owner but she's been around the team for now ten or eleven years and you may have heard her own players and much of the wnba is diametrically opposed to everything that leffler stands force. It was a very interesting situation to see everything develop earlier this week. And then how it works in the team dynamic for more on that. Let's welcome and renee. Montgomery actually a guard for the atlanta dream. She joins us this morning. She's actually rejoining us this morning a second time. She's been on with this. Good morning to you so i guess the first thing i gotta ask you is being a member of the team and understanding everything. That's going on on the floor in off the floor. What's the reaction of you and your teammates to misled losing this election. So i'm just gonna speak for myself and the reaction is. It's not even just her losing. Its rafael worn off. One and i wanna make sure that the messaging stays clear because there's some things that happened on january six is trying to take away from the fact that a black man is going to send it a jewish man from georgia's going to send it and we won the presidential race so i would say for me. It's a sweep. it's a three no sleep. So the the the feeling is happy. Rene speaking of january six. What are your thoughts on everything that occurred that day. Yeah you know. It's kinda like we all felt something was gonna happen. I was worried after november. Third ominously like when when the number started tied and we could see that joe biden. Really my win this thing you know. We all started to get a little nervous even here in georgia the aquarium shutdown coach color. They all boarded up their their buildings because we were all expecting some type of reaction and not a good one so then to see what happened on january six and see the lack of policing that was there it was it was disappointing and most call a spade a spade. It was terrorism. Domestic terrorism is the term that we should use for that renee montgomery innately. Sorry thanksgiving i was going to say what is say about the platform that the wnba has like you guys like even a month before. Colin kaepernick took a knee in two thousand sixteen. The wnba pre-game conference about police brutality. You guys were black. Lives matters t shirts before it was even a thing. Guys always been the leader at the forefront say about the platform that you guys have in the work that you guys have been doing you know. I hope people start to licking because a lot of brands. A lot of sponsors. They don't see the value in in women would say 'cause you know. I think i saw a tweet. From china robinson that said of sponsorship for women athletics how chow especially now knowing the impact that a women's league not just so a player but a whole week and have i don't understand why there's no interest but i do hope that just seeing how things transpired and how everyone to see what's going on. I hope that there is some value added to women now. Renee montgomery of the atlanta dream is joining us. This morning on keyshawn jay williams zubin were presented by progressive. Insurance and rene is with us on the goodyear hotline to robinson by the way. Espn women's college basketball analyst shaina. Yes shoutout. I want to ask you this because people may not want to go back to leffler because i think this is just so fascinating with how clear she's been in how clear you guys have been She used to be for people. That aren't aware that maybe don't follow the dream on everyday basis. She used to be a constant present. at games. a practice you'd be a team functions. He was always be sitting in the front row. She was very active owner. Obviously things have changed when she went to the senate got other responsibilities. I just wonder what your relationship is with her. The team's relationship with her you know even before the senator race i would just fear before the games. We've been to her house. Where team function. But i mean any of the players know you're not usually best friends with owner in general you know you typically would talk more to your g Even when it comes to contracts and stuff so we did see her there and we would wait and she was you know. I know that she released herself. From you. know day to day duties as she became a senator but she was president and the wnba. I know probably the letter was her trying to distance herself. Thing is how she's republican and the wnba. Is you know highly majority. Lgbt in black and brown community. So i can understand why she's trying to distance ourselves but it wasn't the case beforehand. Rene we're kind of personal discussions if any at all have you had. We'll often about social justice nine. I'm you know this was a typical owner-player relationship. So you know. I never talked to my minnesota on her about social justice. And i know that this time is is different but by the time that all of these things try Started to unfold. You know it was already. She was already too far. gone by. then how do you feel now that everything is transpired and she still co owner of the team for me and this is gonna be unpopular to say but for me. I'm sure she's not the only owner. That probably feels the way she feels. And so i hope that the wnba and hope that you know even her you know i. I've already posed the question. I don't know why he would want to own a wnba team. If you have to write a letter to the commissioner opposing. Everything that that team is standing for you know. Our team is the atlanta dream. And i don't know if people know that's from martin. Luther king's dream speech. That's how we got our name so if you oppose everything that we fundamentally stand for. I don't see how you can build a relationship there. I don't know why you'd want to be there
Late Night with Seth Meyers Podcast
Trump and the GOP Campaign Against Reality
"The president and his allies decided on closing message for the final days of the campaign wine about social media pretend the pandemic is over for more on this. It's time for a closer look. There's a lot you can say about Donald Trump's inner circle and the leadership of the Modern Republican Party. But when you boil it down, it's basically just a collection of shy can't take Weirdos. Then people who collect ceramic pigs in sit by their windows writing down license plate numbers for no reason take for example House Minority Leader Kevin, McCarthy. You showed up to one of trump's rallies yesterday claimed republicans are going to take back the House McCarthy then belched up this I think English sentence about House Speaker Nancy, Pelosi a watch you watch Nancy Pelosi hand. And I promise you this. I won't thank her with it but I'll banged the into the socialism and yes to America. What No. I'll bang end to the socialism and yes to America, that sounds like a poorly translated leaflet dropped on Moscow during the Cold War why all these guys talk like rip off dollar store. Action. Figures made in. Eastern Europe. Your grandma will get you for Christmas. Oh Wow. It's a fuzz goodyear. Let me pull the string. The leaders of the hundred gop beer. Basically just a bunch of goofy old buds. I said it pods. Take a guy is still working at your hometown bowling alley thirty years after high school because he gets free disco fries blessed all the shoe sporadic and huff and that is a lot. For example Republicans held a hearing on big tech companies yesterday just to complain about supposed social media. Bias against conservatives which it's not thing. Now, there are progressives like Elizabeth Warren Tonight's guest, Bernie Sanders you really do want to break up big tech monopolies that have consolidated too much power but Republicans just WanNa. whine about mean tweets they don't like the best example of that came from Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson when he complained about an obviously satirical tweet this Dorsey. You talked about your house toward misinformation and then you will you will block misinformation if it's about against civic integrity election interference or voter suppression give you a tweet. There was put up on twitter says Senator Ron. Johnson is my neighbor in strangle our dog buttons right in front of my four year old son and three year old daughter the Keith refused to investigate. This is a complete line, but important to retreat and note that there are more my lies to come. How could that not be a violation voice oppression? Obviously, if people think I'm strangling my neighbors. They may not show the polls that would be worse oppression and another thing Mr Dorsey last night by doorbell rang late at night. So went to answer when I opened the door there was a flame in bag APU on the front step. So I tried to stamp out the fire but I got poo all over my shoes this clearly enact the voter suppression by the Neighborhood Teens because if I pooh-poohed on my shoes, I'll be too embarrassed to go vote. The bigger problem here is Ron Johnson thinks his constituents might actually believe that he strangled his neighbor's dog and Yeah. Okay and kind of see it. With said. Jack Dorsey looks like a dog serial killer. Like straight up a guy who together multiple dogs. in Ron Johnson's corn chowder brain joke tweet about a senators voter suppression. But invalidating mail in ballots and making people wait hours to vote isn't he's like a guy parks is BMW in a fire lane then loses when his targets tone Boris Suppression How am I supposed to get to the polling place now and then there was Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn who asked the CEO of Google if the company was still employing someone who criticized her is a blight Lemoyne one of your engineers still working with you. Senator familiar with his name is a name as an employee I'm not sure these employees. well, he has had very unconscious things to say about me and I was just wondering if you all still. Kept him working they are man Fox News is right. Canceled Culture is out of control. She sounds like she's asking to speak to the manager about a sales assistant at Costco is Madison still working here. She had very unkind things to say about me when I tried to sample the pizza rolls in the frozen I'll very hurtful things about how I'm not supposed to open the box. This is a fundamental reality of the modern GOP they're all donald trump. He complains about social media they complain about social media even though most of them don't have the tech savvy to handle the laundry room bulletin board coffee, table for sale what the hell does Obioma this is unfair.

Is Down four percent today but it's now up thirty percent instead of thirty five percent for the year the goodyear that Microsoft is enjoying is priced into a degree although a lot of people are still very enthusiastic about Microsoft Prices based on those parts of the business that did very well for the quarter and are likely to continue to do well, the basically games and cloud and and you know some other things are.

Goodyear OKs attire supporting police, but no political wear
"Told you a couple of days ago when the president took off after Goodyear. Because Goodyear evidently had a policy that prohibited Employees at Goodyear from wearing T shirts or hats. That support law enforcement. While telling employees they could wear black lives matter. Merchandise or Peril in the workplace. And I told you the reason the president Is doing this. Is he wants to get good year to change the policy. And, of course that included political slogans like Maga, Man and You Know, Trump Pence 2020 or whatever. Goodyear was trying to thread the needle and they were they were. They were really struggling because this got out. This was leaked this training slide that had good year, the Goodyear tire company out of Akron, Ohio. Banning Again, merchandise or peril that supported the police with like blue lives matter as an example. Well, Just as I told you. It looks like Goodyear has backtracked. They got the president got their attention. Bite going after them on Twitter. I'm suggesting people shouldn't by Goodyear, The Goodyear tire chief executive Rich Clint Rich, Kramer said yesterday the company has clarified clarified its policy to make clear That employees can, where apparel expressing support for law enforcement. Um Kind of good news. Kramer, the head of Goodyear said Goodyear strongly supports law enforcement, pointing out they've supplied tires to police and fire vehicles for over 100 years. That relationship is foundational to our company. Goodyear has always supported both law enforcement and equal justice.

Trump urges Goodyear boycott, claiming it banned MAGA hats
"President Trump took to Twitter in a big way yesterday, and not just during last night's and Democratic national convention. Mr. Trump started the day urging supporters the boycott Goodyear tires Yeah, a van on maga hats. That's what he's sites as his reason for encouraging a boycott with his Make America Great Again Campaign slogan. Well, Apparently Goodyear has a policy in place, which is basically can't wear political gear in the office. So referring to an image making the rounds of acceptable where in the workplace trump tweeted that consumers can get quote better. Tires for far less also said Goodyear tyres would be removed from government vehicles. Now I can't recall in my lifetime sitting president Telling people to boycott Ah, US business. But I guess he was upset enough to do that. By the way. Those tires the Goodyear tires on the beast, which is thie bulletproof. Suburban vehicle that the president travels in those tires there Kevlar tires. I mean, they're specially made. It's not like you're gonna pull the beast into a pep voice and say, Hey, guys, can you are, you know to get the lug nuts off and change these tires for me? So that was one of the things he tweeted out. Yesterday, he commented on mail in voting to saying, If you can protest in person you can vote in person. Everything was in capital letters, too. So yesterday, White House press secretary Kayleigh Mcenany would not comment on whether or not Goodyear tire should be removed from President Trump's security vehicle and secret service vehicles. I'm not going to comment on security matters. Mcenany explains the boycott of Goodyear tires. Yeah, good luck with that. Reason he called for the boycott was over. Maga Maga is pretty much unanimous, with blue lives matter these days. Mcenany suggesting Goodyear is being hypocritical. You will always stand against our police officers and blue lives matter For some reason not being an equity issue, as Goodyear appears to maintain Good year might be inconsistent in their policy of what their employees khun wearing what they shouldn't be wearing, but hypocritical. I don't agree with that. I would say in consistent, you know. But I'm in a free company has the right to put in place any kind of Ah, you know, and any kind of Ah A rule or regulation ist of what people can wear and what people can't wear in their workplace. It's their workplace. They could do that.
Hard Factor
Trump says he'd be in favor of Goodyear boycott
"A factory worker at a tire factory in ticket, Kansas posted an unverified image to social media of a powerpoint presentation that appears to show that Tire Company's policy disallowing their employees from wearing Magyar at work I mean pick your poison right guys which fire you're GONNA put out I. Tough call where to start here unless of course. How do you put out the fire? So you mean, one thing is sent a tweet and the other is like create workgroups. We'll is assume what you did there beef doesn't make much sense to me, Oh yeah. Okay. What I mean will as being sarcastic. Yeah, and you're saying this good your tire thing is not a big deal she had has hit the fucking fan and Donald Trump felt need to ask Americans to boycott an American company instead of. Focusing has ever done any of these other nasty things. What did they do? Well, here's what happened guys. Apparently there was a slide. That went around from a diversity training one employee at a Topeka. Kansas factory shared this on social media and said, they say we can't wear Maga- gear. To which president trump ran with it, and he tweeted don't buy goodyear tires. They announced a ban on mega hats get better tires for far less open parentheses. This is what the radical left Democrats due to play the same game and we have to start playing it now and guys one minute one minute later shares of the ohio-based Goodyear fell. To a low of nine fifteen. Down six don't want. You don't want the president of the United States calling for a boycott company GONNA hey. Him, they can't wear the fucking, hats. Offensive than the Maga- stuff was on the on the bad list was blue lives matter in on the good list was BLM's you're allowed to rock. Wanted you couldn't rock blue lives matter. Those slide was outrageous if existed that should have never been shown in a at a company it was very, very partisan. Or. Here's what I say no, no beef you had your five minutes. Here's what I would say to anyone. It goes both ways if you boycott beings because you know you do don't like trump but those warrior favorite dinner beans and now you're not eating your favorite beans. You're a Weirdo if you if you boycott tires that and again you can do the research goodyear may or may not be the best they may or may not be the best price may or may not be the best safes. But if you originally thought they were and they're protecting you and your family. Now boycott them over this it goes on both sides. It's a nine years. Nah I disagree. I. Think it's totally fine if they're infringing on your freedom of speech, this fucking company telling us on fringing on both. Taking they're taking a fucking side obviously. These. This this guy, might this one factory might? Attract they know they were attracted it. Hammer, coming down corporate tried to retract but I mean the damage is done. Let me just ask just as bad. Let me just ask you this from a money standpoint who buys more fucking expensive tires. Truck. Drivers right. So, like this is this for goodyear specifically as a company, this could be more of a detrimental blow them to other industries. I. Agree with you. There Gentlemen, people. Yes. I agree with you that you guys are all dumbest shit because it was an unverified fucking tweet some guy tweeted a thin. We've also gentlemen imported tires are sold in this fucking country. We are in an economic goddamn crisis. When you have a leader, you want leader to not make it about himself. Just fucking. Let it go do their you saying that wasn't displayed a good year meeting. Well, here's what happened goodyear tyres. By saying that what you're saying they said the slide was quote not created or distributed by good corporate whatsoever, and I was like corporate but one of their employees at their office. That I guess it was one factory this point some dude took a picture of a slide that was not from corporate posted to the Internet and our president without verification ran with it and asked Americans being caught. Presentation at work. To. Your being to cold on it if it was a good year presentation on a factory that shouldn't have happened. These guys it. It's one hundred, Eighty, eight, the runs. The fact is. You should be fired. You do right now is not the time to ask anyone to boycott any American company with what about going. With that, you didn't say anything about gray. Gray has nothing to do with this. It does. Brand. On the last two duguay guys one minute left one by the right greg. My stance is all boycotts on either side. If you prefer that product, you're silly silly goose and maybe prefer your partisanship over the product and then now becomes your favorite thing. But to me that just weird are well, let me finish the fuck information. So they deny that it was from four hundred please they further clarified and they said it was not part of diversity training classes. So probably what it was if it wasn't fake, it was real. It was one area one plant not from corporate good. Yes complaint. Fired they further clarified guys that their general general policy indicates that they ask their employees to keep their workplace nonpartisan saying quote, we do lower socio to express their support on racial injustice and other equity issues but ask they refrained from workplace expressions verbal or otherwise in support of political campaigning for any candidate or political party, as well as other simple similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of equity issues. So if you want to know what s specifically it was, it was acceptable black lives matter lesbian gay bisexual transgender pride unacceptable blue lives matter all lives matter matter Maga- tire politically affiliates slogans or betrayal again goodyear's denying it's from corporate. Yeah it's not as. DUMB HR REP at factory. Put It on thing for somebody to take a picture I have no conflict of interest. I don't know a single person that works good. You're what I'm saying is it is also unfair if they retracted and if they fire this person to gentlemen. As we shouldn't be having this conversation because the president shouldn't have taken verified tweet and tweet it boyscout mcquaid. Have the logo I mean it's got the logo on your right wes.
