Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the early edge. We are just 16 days away from NFL season,

0:15.7

and only four days away from week zero for college football. We've got a college football pick

0:20.6

for you today. We got WNBA. We've got MLB. We've got college football. We got a college football pick for you today.

0:21.5

We got WNBA. We've got MLB. We've got tennis, anyone, and of course, some PGA for you.

0:28.6

We do have to look, unfortunately, today. We have to look at the recap screen from yesterday.

0:33.7

I don't know what to say. This is not good. 0.4 and 1, we get a push. That's our best bet is a push. We go 0 and 4 in MLB and soccer. I will mention the prop that Buckets had, his player got subbed out because of injury 30 minutes into the game. So a little bad fortune, misfortune on his end. But either way, this is not very good. We got to bring in an all-star team for a bounceback, and that's exactly what we're going to do because we've got Taft Gant. We've got Calvin Wetzel and Calvin Wetzel's shirt. We've got Mike McClure. We've got Amags, an embarrassment of riches. Mike, we've got college football coming up. We got NFL. You're doing so much on the tennis end, MLB. You name it. You got it. How are you feeling today? I'm feeling great. See it. Yeah, it's U.S. Open Time and Tennis. We got the tour championship in golf. We've got college football week zero. We're all the way back. Again, Major League Baseball going on. You got the WMBA. Everything in full swing feels good to be back. Tyler Graham says Joshua Cribbs days away from NFL. An NFL name that people are definitely going to forget. So Tyler, I'm glad you brought him up. And speaking of football, Mike, you, me and Meg Shop, Fantasy Football Today, DFS, that show is back next Thursday.

1:45.7

I believe that's the 28th at 11 o'clock.

1:48.2

We'll be resuming that 11 o'clock show, sitting you up for the entire slate, some showdown stuff as well.

1:53.2

We'll be teasing that on social media.

1:54.7

So make sure you look out for that and make sure you're subscribed to the podcast on Spotify or Apple.

1:58.7

That's Fantasy Football Today, DFS.

2:00.2

Calvin, how are you and

2:01.3

how's your shirt? I set a high bar, I feel like last week with the little Nuggets-esque throwback. So people in the chat can let me know if I'm living up to it. But someone said it's waking him up. And that's the goal. I know some people it's early. If you're on the West Coast, 7 a.m. right now. So just trying to wake everyone up a little bit.

2:19.4

Gus Dawson is that guy.

2:21.0

He said, Calvin's shirt wakes me up more than a chit-me-up, which is extremely high praise.

2:25.8

Taf Gant, you're here.

2:27.2

And what's really cool is that I think people think, okay, Taff's coming with a golf play, which is great because you're very sharp when it comes to golf. What people don't know is that you may be appearing on this show in the future after golf season or when golf takes a little bit of a slowdown because you don't just cover golf, do you? No, see, we love college football. Who doesn't, right? It's the best time of a year. besides maybe the Rider Cup in a month, this is going to be my favorite weekend of the fall because we have Tour Championship and we have Week Zero college football. I can't wait to give picks for both. Yeah, we've got the Best Betts show tonight at 7 o'clock. I might have some picks for the British Masters as well. I'm kind of still diving in there, but certainly a lot of Tour Championship talk tonight at 7 o'clock, Amags. It always feels like it's MLB season. How you

3:12.8

doing today? Yeah, it feels like MLB's been the main thing on the menu for how long now, right? And so

3:18.7

we finally get these other sports coming back into play. I know NFL preseason has been pretty solid, but that college football week zero,

3:26.6

I too love not only college football, but the NFL specifically as well.

3:30.2

So happy to get those back.

3:32.0

But we still have got a long way to go in this baseball season.
