| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the early edge. |
| 0:12.7 | It is going to be a great Monday, great Monday night football, of course. |
| 0:16.5 | We've got a game to talk about. |
| 0:17.8 | We're going to take your questions as well. |
| 0:19.4 | We've got some major league baseball to talk about. But before we do, let's get to the recap screen. A little Mia Culpa from me, a terrible day, maybe my worst day ever on the early edge. I go 0 for four. The one bet I hit was the one bet I didn't bring to sports line, or excuse me, didn't bring to the early edge, but did bring on sports line. That was the Matthew Golden play. I will say sports line picks really bounced back, hit four out of five there. Propi goes three out of four, excuse me, one out of two. Taff Gant in his college football, two for two. You love to see that, but 9 and 12 is not going to get it done. And again, I'm pretty much responsible for this losing recap screen. So I got to bounce back, but I can't do it by myself. Ladies and gentlemen, I do it with all of you. Liddy, Jason, big cheesy, Rick, Swizby is in here. So is Larry Hartstein. So is Mike McClure. And so is Matt Snyder. Now, Matt, it's a Monday night football. We usually like to talk to maybe Larry first or Mike first |
| 1:14.2 | because we want to get some reaction to NFL Sunday. |
| 1:17.3 | But we've got some reaction from you. |
| 1:19.2 | You're wearing the Indiana shirt for Saturday. |
| 1:21.6 | And then on Sunday, your Bears looked pretty good |
| 1:23.8 | against the hapless Dallas Cowboys. |
| 1:25.5 | Your reaction. |
| 1:26.6 | Yeah. |
| 1:27.2 | So here's the thing. For the last 20 years, |
| 1:29.3 | being a Bears fan and an IU football fan at the same time, |
| 1:32.3 | I usually don't have that many great weekends, |
| 1:34.8 | but this was a pretty darn good weekend, |
| 1:36.8 | I got to say. It was a lot of fun. |
| 1:39.5 | I really did think IU was going to win Saturday night. |
| 1:43.0 | I definitely did not think they were going to win 63 to 7. Holy smokes. That was amazing. I definitely didn't think IEU was going to have the Heisman Trophy favorite after four weeks. So yeah, a lot of fun. And Sunday was definitely fun as well. I know that the Caleb Williams is a bust thing is near and dear to the hearts |
| 2:01.6 | of many, but, and he did miss some throws yesterday. He absolutely missed some throws yesterday, |
| 2:06.0 | but seems like things are starting to flow in the right direction. If you watch that second |
