00:00Leroy wants some big action for the season, wants some big local action for the season.

00:04Here's what I got. Here's what I got. Yeah, let me know. I backed down from one of them

00:09because I don't like that. To MVP, to MVP, which by the way, Tyreek Hill, uh,

00:16said in his interview yesterday, he said he's, he's thinking he's picking to a friend VP this year.

00:22Listen, I enjoy more than anything.

00:30People getting an opportunity to shut people the hell up. Yep. And for some reason with athletes,

00:40the timeframe in which you have to be successful has gotten shorter and shorter and shorter,

00:48right? This is not a situation of the Jordan love situation where, yeah, he should be good.

00:53He sat for three years, right? Or even Aaron Rogers, right? Or even Patrick Mahomes. He got

01:02to sit and watch a 13 and three team. This is not what happens in football. Now, now you go to a

01:10crappy team because you're getting drafted in the top five. And then the next thing, you know,

01:16you're expected to turn that team around right away. And if you don't, then you get all the

01:21blame. So I enjoy watching the process, especially if we, if a young man has his head screwed on,

01:29right. And to a does, and is able to withstand the nonsense coming both from his organization

01:36and the people outside of it and still get through it. I'm going to tell you right now,

01:42all you people, and I'm talking about you frog boy who had no faith and didn't believe to it

01:50could grow. And this is, was the best version you could get. And he's not going to get better.

01:56I'm going to tell you this. Don't come back at the end of the year and go, well, I want him to do

02:01well. I'm a Dolphins fan kick rocks. Well, you know, you, I think you're confusing. He started

02:06off by saying not picking. He's not, he's, he's going to pick two. Oh, what? He's not picking

02:11another team. We'll tell you about that one. He has a second local bet, but right now he said no

02:15to the MVP. So here's the MVP odds. Okay. Right. Tua is plus 2,500 to win MVP this year.

02:25That's chili pepper. And it's, it's pretty far down the list. It's pretty far down the list.

02:30Patrick Holmes, overwhelming favorite plus 500. No way. He's going to win Joe plus 900.

02:38No, I wouldn't bet him. You want to talk about being injury prone? I know you want to talk about

02:43being injury prone. Sure. Everybody talking about tour. Go look at how many games Joe Burrow has

02:49played. Uh, I think they put the same amount of crew. Okay. Uh, Josh Allen also plus 900.

02:57No. Yeah. And then CJ Stroud. Oh, that's a plus 1000. That's a, that's, that's the,

03:03that's the hot pick. That's a lot of weapons. That's a hot pick. A lot of weapons. No, no,

03:07that's true. Nope. 10 to one odds is not good enough for me. I need not juicy enough. This is

03:12a, this yeah. Lamar Jackson. Oh, he's fifth with plus 1200. And that's only because that's voter

03:20fatigue. Yeah. But let me explain another reason why, because now if he has the same exact year,

03:28they won't give it to him because he didn't win in a post season the year before. Yeah. And that

03:33sucks. He would have, that's how people vote. He would have to have a perfect season. I'm not

03:39even kidding. He would have to be, it would have to be a 17 and O season for them. Because if they

03:43go, if they go 14 and three, 13, uh, 13 and four or something like that, right. They're going to

03:50say, well, he didn't, we need to see what he does in the playoffs, which is unfair, but that's like,

03:55it's crazy. Sixth Jordan, uh, Jordan love Jesus plus 1400. He'd been playing quarterback for 12

04:02seconds. Well, he's right. Is that unbelievable? Uh, then Justin Herbert,

04:07Justin Herbert, Justin Herbert having better odds for two to win MVP. He's like here.

04:16I think just with the talent they've had the last few years, they should have been

04:23more competitive for the, um, for that, that, uh, division just with the town for sure. Okay.

04:30But their coach was a little, their coach sucked their coach. Like they have a good coach. Now,

04:35now here's the problem. They're going to run the whole football, but now they're going to run it.

04:41But now they don't have the defense that they've had the last, like it lost a lot of guys,

04:46their offensive skill positions are not as good as they've been. Right. And so now,

04:53even though the coach is better now, you might not have the same tools that you had before

04:59talking about the chargers. Dude, like who do they have? Dude, all I'm telling you is this. I

05:03literally don't know who to have. All I know is it's going to look day and night regardless of

05:07who they have. They have the worst. And I would say this, that they have a chance of winning

05:13division just based on how Kansas city does things. Right. Don't mean that. Listen, it doesn't mean

05:20that Kansas city can't win a Superbowl again. They prove it. Yeah. Right. But I'm just saying

05:26that based on where they are, like I said last year, remember I said last year, I think,

05:33you know, the charges are going to compete for that division. I was wrong because they have,

05:38they had that coach, you know, that guy who not good. Right. Well, yeah. But here's the other

05:43thing with Justin Herbert, to be honest with you, that also doesn't get mentioned with him.

05:46He's got plantar fasciitis. Like we don't know if he's going to be going to be healthy for the

05:50week of the season. Right. Well, no, like it's funny. It's funny how a lot of these injuries

05:56and boo-boos and bumps or whatever, don't seem to follow them. Like it followed to

06:01Brock Purdy is after Herbert plus 1600. What are we even doing here? Jalen hurts also plus 1600

06:07as is Dak Prescott at plus 1600. So every quarterback with a name is about, no, right.

06:12But I would say this, I would say Dak is another guy that going to put up the numbers. They won't

06:17give it to them because of their owner, just because they're tired of like the talk. And

06:23he was leading at some points last year, the MVP race. That's the thing that the NFL MVP race is a,

06:28is a fascinating one because the odds fluctuate like crazy last year at 1.2, it was the odds on

06:34favorite. Right. And then it's, it's switched to Tyree kill past him in odds, which is, I think

06:40one of the things that like him and Brock Purdy have one thing on here that does affect them in

06:47that they have two star players that will take away. I think votes from them. I don't think

06:53that a wide receiver will ever win, but it became a discussion last year's well, is it Tyree Gertua?

07:00Should it go to Tyree? Should we ever give it to a wide receiver? Cause if any wide receiver

07:03was going to win it, like a guy who flirted with 2000 yards, man, I love two of them.

07:09Did Jerry Rice win it? I don't think, I don't know if a wide receiver, I don't know if a wide

07:13receiver is one. I know running back has his wide receiver one. I don't think it has. Cause I think,

07:18I think we talked about this last year. Yeah. I don't think they've ever won. Right. You know why?

07:23You know why? Why receiver can't cause the quarterback, right? Cause the quarterback,

07:26but two is the only guy of these guys who has what they think about too.

07:30Yeah. Right. That they would give it to Tyree kill. He could throw up with 5,500 yards to it. And,

07:36and Tyree could have 1,900 yards and 15 touchdowns and they'd give it to Tyree.

07:41Uh, all right. So Aaron Rogers is plus 2000. We're still going.

07:46Aaron Rogers plus 2000. Can I, can I bet against that? It's half of the league.

07:52Can you bet against him not winning? I don't think that's a bet.

07:57I don't think you get very good odds on that. If he's blessed.

08:01Matthew Stafford is plus 2000.

08:02What are we still doing? He's good. I could see that. And then we get to, and then we get to do

08:07it. But I, my thing is, is my thing is at some point, maybe at some point, when you talk about

08:16a person's career and what they have the ability to do, there should be a born on date of how far

08:24you can go back. And with Aaron Rogers, we just go back throughout his whole history as a quarterback

08:31and we just eliminate what happened the last couple of years.

08:36So that's what, you know, is that tasty enough for you to bet on though? What? Plus 1,500. Yeah,

08:43I told you I am. Okay. I said, the only reason why I wouldn't on my other one is because I don't

08:48like that. Tyree kill is plus 10,000 on the outset. If you want to just throw a little something,

08:53if you do think he's going to make history, a little chili pepper, a little chili, just a

08:57little, a little something. McCaffrey is plus 5,000. He's the, uh, the only other position

09:01player that's on this list. McCaffrey could McCaffrey could do it because he is basically,

09:07nah, he's on the Madden cover. He's done Puka Nakua. Oh, no way. A wide receiver. Who's not

09:13Tyreek is going to win it. Plus 20,000. He has a yard. He would have a hard time winning just

09:18with who's on his team. I'll put $10 on that. Same odds as Ryan Tannehill on this list.

09:26He's just on the list. If Ryan Tannehill were to sign with the team

09:30and become MVP, if you were in the Tannehill family, he has the same odds as Puka Nakua.

09:35That's cool. Has Ryan Tannehill ever thrown for over 4,500 yards? No.

09:40Travis Kelsey, surprisingly, is, uh, has worse odds than Ryan Tannehill.

09:44Wow. He should. Plus 25,000. Tight end. No, he's Kelsey. It's Kelsey, the famous.

09:52See what I mean? You're doing the same thing they're doing. Am I? No. Well,

09:55your opinion has nothing to do about football. I understand, but that's a bit. But you, Leroy,

09:59you laugh at that, but narrative has a big play in the odds, which it does. It has a big play in

10:03the odds, but it shouldn't have anything to do with the decision. I understand. And that's why

10:07I say I hate this crap. I understand. And I'm not disagreeing with you, but I am telling you

10:11like that. We watched this last year. I know. I know. I know. Because like, if you bet two,

10:18you might as well put a little chili pepper on Tyreek, because if Tyreek has a year, they're

10:22going to do everything they can not to give it to Tua, because then I would mean they're admitting

10:25that they were wrong. Right. But there are odds. Like if I did throw a chili pepper on Tyreek too.

10:33You can throw a chili pepper. I might throw a little, I mean, you know what I might do?

10:37I might sprinkle a little Tabasco on it. Like I'm not, I'm not going to commit a whole chili pepper.

10:42I'm not going to commit a whole chili pepper, but I'll sprinkle some. Indian Ross says,

10:45do we miss the Jags QB? Trevor Lawrence has the same odds as Tua. Plus 2,500.

10:50A QB is above them. Anthony Richardson plus 3,500 Kirk cousins of plus 3,500.

10:59And then Kyler Murray plus 5,000. Kyler Murray could be plus 20,000

11:05Deshaun Watson, by the way, is plus 6,600. What's very strange. Odd number. Yeah.

11:13And part of the reason why is because if they have any success, it's because he doesn't have

11:19to throw it. You know what I mean? When you talk about, it's hard. That's what makes the Lamar

11:25thing so hard to, to grasp because usually their defense is so good. He has to just play a style

11:31of football, not to give any freebies away. Right. I'm kind of, I'm sneaky, excited to watch that

11:38team though. Who like, I don't want to face them in the playoffs. Baltimore. Yeah. It was good.

11:43I just don't like, like that. You want to just talk about clash of styles. Cause I know the

11:46dolphins are trying this bully thing, but like, no, no, we have their guy now though. I understand.

11:52And by the way, I love Anthony Weaver. Yeah. However, and they've lost, they lost their

11:56defensive corner. They lost a lot of the defensive staff. Yeah. Now they got Derek Henry with Lamar.

12:01That's crazy. It doesn't seem like you understand. I don't think people understand. Hey,

12:06Lewis Hamilton. Just imagine if Gronk was the, the running back. That's not the same, is it?

12:11That's, that's the same dude. He's 250, but could run.

12:18Crazy. Do you, do you not understand? Kyle Hamilton. That's 30 pounds heavier than I was.
