| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone. |
| 0:10.5 | Welcome to the Early Edge. |
| 0:11.8 | We are brought to you by BetMGM, Make It Legendary. |
| 0:15.3 | We've got a great show for you today. |
| 0:17.3 | We're going to cover some basketball, a lot of baseball, some hockey, a little bit of |
| 0:21.9 | golf for the RBC Heritage. Let's see how we did on our recap screen. It's one of a few losing |
| 0:27.9 | days over the last couple of weeks. A lot of red here. A decent amount of green. We go six in ten. |
| 0:34.2 | Shout out to Adam Thompson for hitting his sports line pick. Brady Cannon comes through with |
| 0:37.9 | that Colin Moracowal play, which frankly, you know, looked a little questionable at the time, but Colin Moracowal was great. Chip Patterson hits his play. I go one for two. Buckets goes one for two. Let's move forward on a six in 10 day. Let's turn it around. And let's get a winning record with this squad here on a Monday. |
| 0:55.7 | We got A-Max, we got Jeff Hockman, |
| 0:57.4 | we got Larry Hartstein, six in 10 day. Let's turn it around and let's get a winning record with this squad here on a Monday. |
| 0:55.7 | We got Amags. We got Jeff Hockman. We got Larry Hartstein and we've got buckets. Larry, can I ask you |
| 1:01.1 | something? And this is like you don't, you might not know anything about what I'm talking about. |
| 1:05.7 | But we went six and ten. Not a great recap screen, obviously. Were you aware of the pick that I put in the |
| 1:11.6 | sports line discord on Saturday night? It was a golf matchup where one of the books was a little |
| 1:18.2 | sleepy at the wheel. Were you aware of that pick that I put in there? |
| 1:22.2 | Enlightened me. I saw something, but I didn't follow everything in there. Well, I'll tell you what. |
| 1:27.3 | I won't get it too specific here, but if you took advantage of that, I'm sure it paid for your entire weekend, if not more. So let me know in the chat if you took advantage of that. I mean, there was a book that had the wrong number on a matchup and we took advantage. And honestly, like go back. Again, get in the Sportsline Discord, go back and look at that chat. |
| 1:46.3 | I'm pretty sure I was the only one to notice it because it didn't change until after I informed our Sportsline members. And it was an incredible thing. So I wanted to point that out as well, get into that Sportsline Discord. Buckets, how are you doing today? Well, I didn't have my whole weekend paid for because I wasn't active enough in the Discord. |
| 2:02.6 | So that's on me, C. |
| 2:03.6 | I'll keep an eye on that moving forward. But I'm doing well today. It's, what's today? Oh, it's Monday. Never mind. I'm not doing well. I'm tired. I'm ready for the weekend. Wow. Amags. We got a nice Monday slate, right? Or how you feeling? Yeah, a little bit of a pair down Monday slate. You get a couple teams that are off here, but |
