Now streaming on Paramount Plus is the epic return of Mayor of Kingstown. Warden? You know who I am. Starring Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner. I swear in these walls. Emmy Award winner Edie Falco. You're an ex-con who ran this place for years. And now, now you can't do that. And BAFTA award winner Lenny James.

You're about to have a plague of outsiders descend on your town. Let me tell you this. It's going to be consequences. Mayor of Kingstown, new season now streaming on Paramount Plus. Against the spread is presented by Draft Kings. Draft Kings. The Crown is yours. Roy, kick us off.

All right, Maple Leafs have failed to cover the puck line in seven straight games on the second leg of a back-to-back versus the blue jackets. And the Blue Jackets are on a six-game winning street at home versus opponents with a winning street. The Toronto Maple Leafs have won back-to-back games. This is the fourth game in six days for the Maple Leafs. So go with the Blue Jackets who are a goal and a half favorite at home against the spread. Mike, what you got? Texas Vanderbilt.

I love this college football betting card, and there's a lot of great games, a lot of great value on the board. I have maintained over the last few weeks at the SEC is the ACC with a better publicist. Vanderbilt. Everyone's hot on them. Everyone's down on Texas because Texas has struggled the last two weeks on the road. Texas struggles on the road. At home, we don't have a lot of data to pull from. It looks like Archmanning is indeed going to play. So I like Texas. Minus two and a half. I think it's a good time for Texas to have their best performance of the season against us where. Give me this. So you guys know I love a good NBA controversy, right?

I love a good NBA controversy. Now I know if you guys remember, but Pat Beverly and Trey Young, they hate each other. All right. I'm not exactly sure why Pat Beverly decided to go out Trey Young when he did. I have the background. It was because someone said, how do we make the All-Star game better? And Pat Beverly came out strong like the All-Stars need to care, whatever. and Trey Young responded,

how about you let the All-Stars answer that question. Okay, good response. Burn! Okay, good response. Well, the Hawks, two nights ago, the Hawks lost to the Bulls. We're undefeated right now, by the way. They are.

Hawks lost to the Bulls. Trey Young, he had a lot of assists. I think he had like 17 assists that game, but he shot the ball really poorly. So Pat Beverly took it as an opportunity to troll Trey Young again and continue their beef. He tweeted out, to BTA.

I mean, you know what BTA means? B2A. B2A means. Yeah, B2A. Like I said, B2A, you know what B2A means? What's that Zes? I do, but Chris doesn't. So explain to the Chris.

Spelled to ass, dog. So he put B2A bowls. Way to beat the Hawks. All right. Then he tweeted out immediately after that. Another tweet, Patrick Beverly, because that right there is just, you know, about the Bulls beating the Hawks.

And he at straight. Young, Trey Young and the Hawks did all that talking and trolling just to lose by 20 to the Raptors. Talking about playoffs, hold your nose, it's a nose emoji, hold your nose stink. So he, he's going to, I guess he's going to do this all season anytime he has an opportunity to go after Trey Young. I like the idea of like the first one against the Bulls was subtle, but it's like maybe it's too subtle.

Maybe he didn't get the message. Let me tag him next time. And then there was another one too where he makes sure. sure that everyone knows that he's coming after Trey Young. Come on, Trey, just a tough shooting night. He go get it right. Go Hawks, go. And it's, you know, a quote to see Trey Young shooting 7 and 22 and 1 of 10 from 3. Not a great shooting night, but also that would represent Patrick Beverly's greatest night ever. I mean, Pat Beverly would kill to just be in the league right now. Trey

Young's an all-star in the NBA. I mean, Patrick Beverly would kill to have 22 shot attempts in any game, anywhere. Yeah, you're saying Tray Young stinks like fried fish on an airplane. I love a good NBA beef. Only if you're in the middle seat. Jeremy, I've noticed you've stopped bringing fish to work since I called you out. Yeah. I mean, if I bring it, I'll just make sure that it's like a meal prepared that I like to have cold.

So it'll be like a salad. You still will bring in the sad wheat bread turkey sandwich. Yes, I will. And I appreciate you trying to look good, eat healthy. Just be healthy. It's a sad lunch. It is a sad lunch, but, you know, health matter. I'm trying not to die.

You know, that's the big one. Family history of kind of almost dying, and I'd rather not do that. Okay, you just made it serious. Well, it's hard stuff, you know? Hold on. You just want to. Family history of almost dying is an awesome family history. Yeah.

Every other family I know. Every other family I know has a family of dying. Yeah, no, grandma, two heart attacks. Didn't die from them. She just died of old age. It's pretty special. Hey, I have polls to update if you guys want them. Go for it.

We had two. Let me get to those scrolling. fat white face, big fat white face. Here are the... I said you had them. Poles. I did. Have the Charlotte Hornets been running up and down the court for 37 years for no good reason?

96.5% of the audience says yes. And is there a better name in sports than the mustachioed Simone Fontechio? How about this one? Guys didn't never happen before. No. No. Wait a second. 50% of the audience says yes.

Really? How much says no? 50% of the audience says no. What? Really? We have him with a mustache here. You guys are talking about it earlier. Oh, yeah, I remember that stretch of the season last year when he was dressed like that.

It's me, Simone. You woke up in bed next to that guy.
