Good morning, everyone.

Welcome to the Early Edge.

A very happy Thursday, and I'm smiling already because we've got a great show coming

up, but I'm looking at the chat.

And Big Cheesy says, son of a Taylor, my new expression when i get upset with my kids yes everybody

intoxicated by the ad read which you may or may not see later on in the show let's see the recap screen

we've got a lot to cover on this show we have a losing day nice winning day yesterday but we go three

and six here soccer didn't do great but i'll tell you what, Buckets 10 and O over the last

two weeks on the early edge with World Cup matches. He goes another two and O. Sniper goes one for two.

Everything else ends up missing a lot of soccer, a WNBA and a baseball miss there. Speaking of baseball,

we got a couple sports line picks. We're giving them out earlier in the show, and we've got one from

Jeff Hockman, Mets, Phillies, over nine and a half at even money. Again, that one from Jeff

Hoffman. And we got a World Cup bet, Czech Republic, minus a half, minus 125. That one courtesy of the very

sharp Brad Thomas. Speaking of sharp people, ladies and gentlemen, let's bring in the stars of the show is this show brought to you by BetMGM, make it legendary, and Buckets, we got buckets. We got Amags and Danny Brascoe Buckets. You are on a legendary run. How you feeling today, buddy? Pretty good. I knew it. I knew it. I knew we were going to, I'll tell you what,

we're going to reverse the energy here a little bit. Hey, Max, you've been on the show since the Knicks won, but Brasco, you have not been on the show since the Knicks one. So I just want to give you a few seconds, a few moments to celebrate the New York Knicks winning the NBA finals. Man, here in New York City, I don't think you guys understand.

Like, it's healing the people.

This is, the kind of scowl and the New York distrust that just kind of lives in the air, right? That cold New Yorkerness. It's gone. There's like a levity and a lightness. People are holding the door open for each other. I saw these two guys get into an argument on the subway, and it ended in friendship and understanding. It started with curses. Then he was like, I totally understand why you bumped into me, man. I would be the same way. Like, it's beyond basketball. It's the culture is united through the Knicks. And this team is so lovable. Like, it's the power of friendship that won. There are people in Florida I hear from my friends like with Knicks jerseys walking or California. It's, you know, America's team all of a sudden, I think. The Knicks are joy. See ya. The Knicks are a joy. Everybody's getting along. We're just going to skip past them beating everybody up for wearing a Spurs jersey we're just gonna roll right into that was a select

few idiot new yorkers and a lot of the fights you see on youtube on instagram are of new yorkers

trying to stop the violence and then those idiot kids jumping new yorkers so we don't claim them

you're fair to bring it up because some you know some nick fans act a fool but that ain't us see

you that's true that's a very good point i like the counterpoint you offered there danny brasgow but because some, you know, some Nick fans act a fool, but that ain't us, see ya.

That's true.
