I'm at dot org to learn more. Obviously the WC's been great but it's not the Olympics, right. That's no disrespect to the WC or anything, When the Olympics are on, everybody's watching now that to you better you bet with Nick Costos on Westwood one sports That the voice of rice Harper with Philadelphia Phillies and Team America in the world baseball classic Rob baseball classic pretty pretty fun right like a lot of people really enjoying it right now The United States currently two and oh with a couple more games to play in group play with the USA will advance

Tyler was in Puerto Rico this weekend Tyler saw Puerto Rico win in a walkoff while on the treat support to Rico. I'll talk to Tyler about that tomorrow Japan three and oh Dominican Republic two and oh vent as well at two and oh Games coming up over the course of the day today in the world baseball classic I don't know how you you don't agree with what Bryce Harper said The world baseball classic should be at the Olympics Because look like it's a fun event and people are talking about it on social media But it gets lost with the NFL news It gets lost with the NBA and Jason Tatum coming back for the Celtics It gets lost at the end of the college basketball regular season with selection Sunday coming up this week And it I'll echo Bryce Harper sentiments. It's not an insult to the WBC WBC is great. I love more sports. I'm on record saying that Like the big thing this weekend in college basketball was all the bubble team suck Why would you want to expand the field in the NCAA tournament?

Gee, I don't know because sports are fun and I want more games. That's why So I love the world baseball classic But who could ever argue If the world baseball classic were in LA in the Olympics and a couple of how much better would that be than here randomly in the middle of March It would be awesome Bryce Harper 100% right Legal tampering opening about 10 minutes from now. We are literally 10 minutes away from starting to get a bunch of NFL free agent news Look, we got a bunch of news during the show today. I will give a couple of predictions and thoughts Fits that I would like Alec Pierce, why'd receiver of the Indianapolis cults? I think he will break the bank I think it makes a ton of sense for the New England Patriots to sign Alec Pierce You heard contrary ischmile earlier in the show talk about the Las Vegas Raiders being in on Ravencenter Tyler Linderbaum The Raiders have a ton of money to spend Be beginning a rebuild beginning in Las Vegas. I like that Linderbaum and the Raiders

Mike Evans looks almost certain to leave the Tampa Bay Buccaneers I'm tough to imagine that actually happening, but looks like it will The Buffalo Bill should bring Mike Evans in imagine that red zone target for Josh Allen do along with DJ Moore and company In the Buffalo Bills offense Kyla Murray needs to go to the Minnesota Vikings I think the Dallas Cowboys would be wise to bring in Trey Hendrickson Last NFL noted will close the show with bets for tonight When I think about the AFC North for this coming season and the Steelers if it's going to be Aaron Rogers back at quarterback I think it probably will be not definitely probably The Bengals are going to lose Trey Hendrickson that defense is hot garbage I love Joe burrow. I think the Bengals are tough to trust And the Browns are probably going to try and be bad like to Sean Watson I think will be the Browns starting quarterback this season at least to start If the Ravens don't win the AFC North this season after the Max Crosby trade what an unbelievable disaster that will be

Do I think Oregon State will win tonight against Gonzaga? No But do I think Oregon State's going to keep this rolling and keep the game semi close tonight? I do give me Oregon State a little B for action on a Monday night everybody loves that Oregon State plus the points against Gonzaga At least one bet in the NBA tonight and possibly another I sent it earlier in the show the nicks or dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde yesterday against the Lakers They were dr. Jekyll and lost tonight. I think it's mr. Hyde and the nicks win I will lay the points with the nicks on the road at the L.A. Clippers And the game of the night in sports the Oklahoma City Thunder hosted Denver Nuggets We don't know if Jamal Murray is going to play in the game. Okay. C was a seven and a half point favorite Now Oklahoma City is a six and a half point favorite the total is 232 and a half the way that I would like to play this game If Jamal Murray does not play for the Denver Nuggets I would like to take the points with Denver So no Jamal Murray let's let this get bet out a little bit and I'll take the Denver Nuggets
