Show notes

First, Chad and Stuckey talk about how to get an edge in college basketball - how do you parse through all the data out there? What has changed since the advent of things like KenPom and (irony alert) The Action Network? Then, how does Stuckey spread out his bankroll over futures bets over conference tournaments? Why would he pick teams that he doesn't think will win their tournaments? Then, Stuckey gives you a sharp future pick for the Big 12 tournament, the PAC-12, and how to play those Duke Blue Devils.... and drops some serious #personalnews. And - If you stick around till the very end, there's details about how to RSVP to The Action Network's Las Vegas viewing party. (Actionnetwork.com/madness-party)

Chad and Scooch are back! Who needs football?! First, a musical interlude from the greatest band to grace Las Vegas since the Rat Pack: The Skootles. (For more, search YouTube for "The Skootles.") Then the guys talk college hoops, including Zion Williamson, the hometown Nevada Wildcats, and what kind of action Scooch is taking on the NCAA tournament already. Plus, what the heck is going on with the Lakers? Then Chad is joined by Matt Jones, who leads the prolific Kentucky Sports Radio blog, who is partnering with The Action Network for March Madness. He talks about his background - another former lawyer turned sports guy, what are the odds? - in addition to what he likes to bet, and if he views Kentucky as a viable contender for the national title.

Lo Duca and BlackJack on Harper, Conference Tourneys, and Denny's Mar 05, 2019

Show notes

BlackJack and Paul Lo Duca join forces today to discuss more on the Bryce Harper deal and whether he'll succeed in Philly. What do they like among Harper's over/unders - batting average, HRs, RBIs?

Then, they preview a few conference tournament slates. Is there any value betting on Duke to win the ACC tournament? Or is there another play? Also, is it possible for the Big 12 tourney to end without Bill Self holding the trophy?

Finally, it's time for more Story Time with Paul Lo Duca. Today's features an escape from minor league camp and, perhaps more importantly, more shenanigans at a California Denny's, including the most ludicrously named menu item of all time.

BlackJack and Lo Duca talk MLB, NFL, and meeting Ron Jeremy Feb 28, 2019

Show notes

NOTE: This was taped before Bryce Harper signed with the Phillies

Paul and BlackJack try to think through Bryce Harper's options and lay out your best bets as a result, and Paul explains what he thinks is best for the MVP slugger.

Then they wonder about Antonio Brown's next stop (SF is the current favorite), if Kyler Murray made the right call, and where Nick Foles might land.

Finally, we close with "Story Time with Paul Lo Duca," which includes a memorable visit with Ron Jeremy and a reveal of Paul's alias when checking into hotels on the roads. Hint: It's extremely silly.
