0:00.0	Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the early edge. We've got a great show for you today. A very happy Wednesday. We're only 22 days away from NFL regular season. We've got a lot of NFL to talk about in the meantime.
0:22.8	More on that later.
0:23.9	Let's take a look and see how we did on the recap screen.
0:28.4	It's looking like 3 and 3.
0:30.8	Certainly not a winning day.
0:32.4	But, I mean, let's acknowledge some of the plus money.
0:35.4	We lost some juice here on Danny's play and the minus 135 from Buckets,
0:39.7	but Buckets hits one of his.

1:31.9	There it is.
1:32.5	Alex English is certainly one of a good call, Larry.
1:34.9	Also, Larry, you have a bit of an announcement to make relative to sports line.
1:39.9	Yeah, something exciting happened yesterday with Jeff Hockman, who is kind of one of our secretive reclusive handicappers out on the West Coast, was only working for us part time and was running his own website.
1:52.1	He's a longtime name in the industry, monitored, tracked for like 20 plus years.
1:58.4	But he decided to be exclusive with Sportsline yesterday. We were able to make
