| 0:00.0 | It is Wednesday, January 20th, 2021. I am the coach, and this is the early edge powered by |
| 0:11.4 | Sportsline. We are in your feed every single day before 11 a.m. And we do it all in 10 minutes |
| 0:17.1 | or less. The clock is running coming off. Hey, as long as we're in the positive numbers, we're okay. |
| 0:22.3 | You're not going to have a perfect day every day. |
| 0:24.5 | Five and four on Tuesday. |
| 0:26.4 | So a little plus money. |
| 0:28.1 | But today, it's Wednesday. |

| 0:31.0 | We've got golf. |
| 0:32.2 | We've got the NBA and we've got college basketball. |
| 0:34.9 | Let's bring in my cappers right now. |
