| 0:00.0 | The Wizards were basically 100 to 1 to win the NBA championship before the trade, |
| 0:06.6 | and they're 100 to 1 to win the NBA championship after the trade. |
| 0:11.5 | Trey Young is a wizard. |
| 0:14.1 | Ben Standig joins us. |
| 0:16.0 | Ben is going to talk football with us. |
| 0:18.7 | We'll get Ben's reaction to Mike McDaniel's now availability, potentially. |
| 0:24.4 | After he was fired, if you're just tuning in, Mike McDaniel fired this morning in Miami, |
