Kevin opens up with a few more thoughts on the Wizards, the NBA trade deadline, LeBron James and Kevin Durant. He then gets to the report that the Redskins and Adrian Peterson are in contract talks. Should AP be re-signed and why would we he want to stay? Conversation about Frank Robinson, Kyler Murray vs Michael Vick, and Jim Zorn who was hired 11 years ago this weekend. A look back at how it happened and what the reaction was with Andy Pollin.
Kevin and Thom start the show talking about the Wizards’ trades of Otto Porter and Markieff Morris. Scott Van Pelt calls in to talk about Maryland’s win at Nebraska, the NBA trade deadline, and Maryland’s football signing day which included a surprising QB signing. Bryce Harper, MLB rule changes, and the greatest left-handed NBA players were part of the show today too.
Kevin opens the show talking John Wall’s ruptured achilles with Scott Jackson. Is the Wall era over? Both Kevin and Scott think yes. Former Redskins & Texans GM Charley Casserly joins the show to talk Super Bowl, Patriots, Redskins, and quarterbacks in the upcoming NFL Draft. Also, Kevin thinks the Lakers’ 42-point loss to the Pacers is a result of an off-putting trade deadline situation.
Kevin and Thom opened the show talking about the Super Bowl, the Patriots’ dynasty, and the SB TV ratings. They discussed the “Way Too Early NFL Power Rankings” and the Redskins’ place on that list. Wizards and Bryce Harper conversation on the show too.
Kevin opens the show with a detailed recap of Super Bowl 53, both on the field and what we saw on TV. Also on the show a Weekend DVR which included Caps, Wizards, Terps, and more.
WHAT’S THE FRIDAY FOOTBALL SMELL TEST?
It’s a contrarian handicapping philosophy. I look for the games where the public is convinced they are right about a point spread and I go the other way. There’s more to it than that including unique access to information about where certain sharp action is but for the most part, it’s the realization over many years that the house wins more than it loses and the house advantage comes from more than just the built-in vig/fee advantage.
The lines used are from covers.com as they appeared Friday during the show. Lines change. Typically, if a line is worse for me than it was on Friday, the contrarian handicapper in me regards that as a good thing. It usually means late sharp money is with me.
