0:00.0	Happy Tuesday, everyone, welcome to the Early Edge. My name is Cianajat, otherwise known as the
0:13.9	counselor of Cash. And again, this is the Early Edge. We are brought to you by BetMGM,
0:18.6	Make It Legendary. We actually have a great show for you today. I say actually like that because we're covering a ton of sports. We got some futures. I'm throwing in a PGA pick. I might have some PGA picks later in the week as well. Of course, we have NBA, some college basketball, hockey, a lot going on. But let's see what happened yesterday. I mean, I don't know that you could
0:38.6	have, I'm not in the business of making excuses, honestly, when we do the recap screen, but they'll run
0:43.4	out in that Giants game with the first half team total for Mike McClure, where Young Waku kicks the
0:48.4	ground instead of the football. We had Theo Johnson falling a yard short or two yards short of his
0:53.3	over with so many drops.
0:55.0	Then, of course, I've got the Tyrone Tracy play and gets carted off in the early fourth quarter.
1:00.8	So I don't want to say it was bad luck.

1:17.0	Jeff Hockman. We got prop stars. We got buckets, parts unknown a la prop stars, and we got
1:23.7	Tom Casale Bucats. I think I got to go to you first, but I'm not sure the connection is good. You're walking in the snow. Buckets, can you hear us? I can hear you. I'm trying to find Propy. I'm trying to meet him for the first time and say hi to Propy. So I'm in parts unknown right now, just kind of hiking around. Also, unrelated. My car broke down at the dog park so fray and i are
1:45.1	walking a couple miles home but couldn't miss the early edge all right well buckets thanks for
1:50.4	being here i know you have a couple of soccer picks to give us propi you've got a couple of
1:54.1	NBA picks to give us but you've also got an NFL future how you doing today buddy i'm doing good
1:58.9	good morning gentlemen excited hello chat hope everyone's doing well. Very much looking forward to today.
2:06.9	Very much looking forward to another week in the NFL. Just starting to break down these
