| 0:00.0 | Very good morning, everyone, and welcome to the early edge. |
| 0:12.9 | Happy Monday. |
| 0:13.7 | We are brought to you by BetMGM, Make It Legendary. |
| 0:17.2 | We had a legendary thing happen on Friday with the rapid fire picks that buckets put out. |
| 0:23.3 | Let's see how he did. Let's see how the recap screen did. We go nine. Wow, this is busy. |
| 0:28.0 | We go nine and eight overall. The golf picks hit. Want to give me and Chip a shout out there. |
| 0:33.2 | And oh, by the way, if you watch the early wedge, you hit Cam Young outright. So we hit that one as well. The sports line picks go two out of three, Mikey B, one for two. You see Bucket's picks here. I guess he went three and four on his. Ladies and gentlemen, we will take nine and eight. I mean, that's pretty much a break-even day when we consider the juice. But let's try to improve on that with an amazing Monday cast. Ladies and gentlemen, here on the early edge, we've got Mikey B, we've got Larry Hartstein, we got Tom Casale, we got Amags, which means we've got NBA, we've got MLB, we've got some NHL. I can answer any early PGA picks or outrights you have Larry Hartstein. How are we doing today? |
| 1:11.4 | I'm doing great and I agree with Typhoon in the chat who said the magic win that series |
| 1:16.0 | if Franz Wagner doesn't get hurt, but you still can't go four for 37 at home in the second |
| 1:21.1 | half of a playoff game and blow a 24 point lead. And Jamal mostly found that out this morning. |
| 1:27.1 | He's gone. So not too, you know, not a lot of |
| 1:31.1 | drama in the game sevens yesterday, two games that turned into Blancheba. We got some great matchups |
| 1:36.2 | starting tonight with Knicks and Philly. Mikey B, I'm just going off the top of my head here, |
| 1:41.2 | but I believe the Colorado Avalanche had had as many goals |
| 1:44.9 | yesterday as the Orlando Magic had fourth quarter points in game six. Your thoughts on Mosley |
| 1:51.1 | being let go. Yeah, he needed to go. He is not creative at all offensively. They're a great |
| 1:56.7 | defensive team, but Desmond Bain, the prized offseason acquisition in a game seven took 10 |
| 2:02.7 | shots. You have to find ways to get your best players more involved, and he needed to go. |
| 2:09.3 | I was surprised. It's surprising that the match just made this far. I was always against them. |
| 2:13.1 | I thought they'd get knocked out in the play in. So it was impressive if they pushed the pistons |
| 2:16.2 | that far. But yeah, mostly definitely had to go. Tom Casale, any response to the firing? And how are you doing today? |
| 2:21.6 | What do you have for us today? NHL, MLB, where you're at? |
