You always follow the money. That's what I always say. You always follow the money. This is Follow the Money with Mitch Moss and Polly Howard on V-SEN. All right, everybody, kicking off hour two here, Follow the Money. Stormy Bond and Tony, Dustin Swietelston, and for the guys. Live as always from downtown Las Vegas, Circa Resort and Casino, home of the world's largest sports book. We are keeping tabs on all things Olympic hockey. As Hume USA remains up one nothing right now over Sweden. We just got underway here in the third period. Loan goal of the game. So good for y'all if you had unders in this one today, especially considering how many people thought there were going to be goals. So here's the question. You could still get Sweden plus one and a half plus 114. How nervous are you of an empty netter, though? Sure. That is the hesitation there. So would you, I wouldn't lay the one and a half minus 125. You can't go under three. Yeah, I'd probably stay away from it right now, to be honest with you. Yeah. I kind of want to go alt under two and a half if I can find that. Right now, it's mine. It's three and i'd probably stay away from it right now to be honest with you i kind of want

0:54.3

to go alt under two and a half if i can find that right now it's mine it's three and a half minus two

0:59.1

eighty on the under you can't do anything there yeah i you can pair with the dodgers though

1:02.4

you can that's what we were we were just talking about and somebody golf calling uh sending an email

1:08.1

into our money moves email a moment ago was mentioning adding scotty sheffler

1:12.9

top 10 to some of the i mean like the last time that he had not finished top 10 was the players a full

1:18.0

year ago so that feels about as automatic as they come in golf yeah no but anyone who's ever placed a

1:23.0

parley or a bet in their life knows something that feels absolutely 100% like the locked anchor of your parlay will be the first one that goes down. That's a loser. Hey, Sweden, by the way, on a power play right now. So we'll see if they could potentially get the equalizer. The lone goal, Dylan Larkin, we mentioned in winsome, lose some. 35 to 1 for the first goal of this game. He was 6 to 1 for an anytime goal. So that is a big one if you had it in pocket. We mentioned, you know, the building parleyes. We will go to the pizzeria at the end of this hour. Also still to come. We will continue going through all 30 teams for our MLB day by day previews. Today we're hitting on the Marlins. You also have a world baseball classic angle you want to get into. Yeah, look, we're a few weeks away. I was looking at some of these rosters. There's a team out there that I think a lot of people expected to be good. I think they stink also. We have a traitor amidst us. Among us? Amidst us? One of those word make words make sense i'm not that good at words it's weird they give me a microphone but what i'd say is

2:19.1

there is a player that I saw on one of these teams, not in the USA. And I was like, wait, I'm pretty sure one, he's American, two, he played for Team USA in the past. I went to the official website. He's wearing his team USA cap on the other country's World Baseball Classic roster page.

2:35.4

Interesting.

2:49.7

Okay. Trader. How dare he? And I think there's a traitor among us would just be. Like, I don't know why. We didn't have to get crazy with the STs at the end of the words. I don't think we needed that one. Yeah. I mean, I don't even know what amidst means. Amid, amid us, amidst us. I'm just making up English.

2:53.3

We'll also have Mike Palm in studio with us in about 30 minutes,

2:52.2

excited to get his reaction, especially to all of the hockey that's been going

2:56.7

on right now. But we're actually going to get things started here talking a little national

2:59.8

football league, a handful of news items coming down earlier today, including that the chiefs

3:03.5

and Patrick Mahomes have agreed to a restructured deal this season, clearing out more than $43 million in cap space before this morning, Dustin.

3:10.7

Casey was about 55 mil over the cap.

3:13.0

According to overthecap.com, Mahomes' cap number now goes from 78.2 to 3465 after the move.

3:20.1

So where does that put Kansas City now?

3:21.7

About 11.5 million under.

3:23.9

Still, I mean, like, no idea near where it was, but like much more workable now. And you know that they're going to make a couple more moves to cut guys to give them some more flexibility to bring in free agents or re-sign their own guys, whatever they want to do.
