| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone. |
| 0:10.5 | Welcome to the Early Edge. |
| 0:11.7 | We are brought to by BetMGM, Make It Legendary. |
| 0:15.1 | Well, yesterday after the national championship, we had a pretty legendary recap screen. |
| 0:19.2 | We went seven and two. |
| 0:20.4 | But ladies and gentlemen, we kind of turned it around the wrong way yesterday. We go a pretty legendary recap screen. We went seven and two, but ladies and gentlemen, |
| 0:21.2 | we kind of turned it around the wrong way yesterday. We go two and five. As we look at the recap |
| 0:26.1 | screen here, Martin Green and buckets go one for two. That's certainly not bad. Tom Casale loses Missouri. |
| 0:32.0 | I don't know if everybody watched the end of that game. Some really terrible coaching on the |
| 0:35.9 | Missouri side to lose a one point lead in the |
| 0:39.3 | final seconds. Jeff Hockman loses his play in our sports line pick doesn't come in. So seven and two |

| 1:36.8 | Propi, how you doing today, buddy? See ya, what's good. We've got football in parts unknown, |
| 1:41.6 | aka the Northwest in late January. |
| 1:45.8 | Two awesome matchups. |
| 1:47.6 | I can't wait. |
| 1:48.4 | I wish Bo Nix was involved, but I still think Denver's live in the game. |
