Let's get started here for those of you, uh, joining us here on the show and getting ready for the holidays. This is not a story to get you in the holiday spirit, nonetheless, uh, sports betting story that kind of went sideways a couple of weeks ago. Chauncey Billups, you may be familiar with him, uh, plead not guilty to the charges of wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering. Conspiracy for his alleged involvement in those rigged poker games that apparently existed that the FBI has indicted him for if convicted, the charges carry a maximum of 20 years in prison. Uh, Billups was released on $5 million bond and also put up his home in Colorado as collateral, no longer involved in coaching, at least for the time being until this gets resolved in the NBA. Meanwhile, Calci's latest move in California, they're filing a motion for an injunction for a stay and pending appeal in the Nevada federal case by 50 p.m. Eastern out of concern that Nevada may seek to commence civil or criminal enforcement proceedings against Calci once the court dissolves its preliminary injunction. A couple of weeks ago, a federal judge, uh, granted Calci a win, rejecting the idea that the tribes. In California said that they were a sports betting operation so they at least get to operate in California for the time being and expect a lot of other states to follow suit here. They're gonna be in for a battle this year and next year as well. All right, not much of a battle on Monday Night Football last night. Let's just call it what it was. The San Francisco 49ers gave the Carolina Panthers a lot of opportunities. Brock Pur through three receptions in this game, but Carolina's offense just couldn't get going, very inconsistent all season long. Uh, Christian McCaffrey facing his former team. That was the story in the 20 to 9 win. 89 rushing yards, 53 receiving yards and a touchdown. Purdy, as I mentioned, do a touchdown to Jauan Jennings. Other than that, not very good, 3 interceptions, and naturally Carolina has just been so up and down on offense all season. It's kind of hard to figure out who exactly they are. McCaffrey after the game, big win for him and obviously reminisced on his time with the Panthers. Yeah, I mean, I, you know, when it comes to playing in the league, um. You know, you, you, you have to approach each week as similar as possible, stay in, stay in your routine. You can't get too far outside of what's normal for you. Um, and so I tried to do that. And obviously, when you see familiar faces, it's always good to see them before the game and after the game. But, uh, you know, that's. Completely new team than when I was there, so it's, it's, it's really just business once the ball snapped. Just a game of missed opportunities. Uh, our defense was, was, you know, putting us in, in some great situations, you know, with the interceptions and not coming away with points, having an interception on one of those things really hurt us. Um, some basic things, you know, a couple of penalties put us in long drives, uh, a drop on 3rd down. Um, really just comes down to fundamental execution and things that you know I felt like we're moving in the right direction, um, but we didn't take that step today that that I was looking for, um, you know, collectively as a group and the defense battled and they, and they, you know, kept us in it, gave us some opportunities there, and then we turned it over again at the end, um, with an opportunity, um, to make the game close there at the end. Not a bad year for the Panthers, but that may have sealed their fate as far as the playoffs are concerned. Also, Christian McCaffrey, by the way, leads the NFL in receptions this season that I was not aware of. I probably should have, he's on one of my fantasy teams. Uh, OK, uh, this weekend, Tampa Bay Buccaneers gotta be holding their breath a little bit to see if Baker Mayfield can play. His MRI showed no additional damage to that left shoulder that he hurt against the Rams, but still TBD for the weekend. No longer TBD as Joe Burrow, he's gonna play on Thanksgiving Day for the Cincinnati Bengals. It's a Thursday night game. Zach Taylor said, Well, you know, we'll see just to be sure, but it looks like all systems go. Uh, I anticipate him playing, but we'll continue to work through the week. I'm not gonna declare that definitively. Uh, worked through the week coming off an injuries. He's done everything he could. He put himself in position to, to do his best to play yesterday, um, and we'll, we'll continue with that mindset, but, um, he looks like he's in good shape right now and he'd be ready to go. I mean, really, last week he just fell because of it was, it was easy for us to handle because Joe Flacco has been limited in practice and so his schedule had been conducive to Burrow coming in there and taking all the snaps. So it didn't throw anything off kilter because that had been a routine previously. He just took a bunch of reps that Jake Browning had been taking. Um, when, when Flacco was out, so, so from that perspective, it worked out well. We're able to balance that without disrupting anything, and now, um, you're going to just walkthrough reps, which is really what we're doing in the next two days, so it's nothing physical walkthrough mental reps and getting everybody ready to go play. The Browns have rewarded Shadoor Sanders with another start coming up for the Browns this Sunday. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings may have to turn to their third string quarterback Max Broser coming up on Sunday as JJ McCarthy reported issues on the flight back from Minnesota. He's in concussion protocol. Here's the latest from head coach Kevin O'Connell. Yeah, you know, we, uh, you know, obviously with the independent, you know, a couple of independents and, and, uh, the medical staff and everything, there was not one particular, um, you know, we're, you know, looking. Looking into it, as, as I know we all will, um, it had to be late, you know, based upon kind of how the game went, um, but, uh, but no, there wasn't one where I think, uh, even JJ can, can pinpoint as of right now you have to go through the kind of figuring out how things go for JJ but you go in assuming Max Rose is ready to start. Yeah, I don't think it's, I think it's probably too early, um, to tell that, Ben, you know, as far as, you know, with the quarterbacks not really taking contact in practice in the different phases of the, the protocol, I think we got to just take it a day at a time. One of the big stories of the week, of course, we'll see who starts there. All right, let's get to college basketball. Uh, tough start of the season for Saint John's. They lose to Iowa State last night, 83 to 82. Iowa State 2.5 point favorites. Joshua Jefferson had 17 points and 8 assists. It was, uh, Saint John's having the ball late, not being able to come through on the final shot, so Rick Pitino naturally not happy with the outcome. Well, it was another tough game for us, um. You play this type of schedule, you're gonna be in tough games, uh, the effort was great, uh, the play was terrific. Um, we just, with the game on the line, we just didn't come up with the rebounds necessary to put the other team away and but that's a credit to, to their. Incredible crashing of the offensive glass so we take the loss because we couldn't come up with the rebounds. Unfortunate that we lost another good game. Gonzaga takes care of business against Alabama 95 to 85 and Seton Hall had the upset of the night. They beat number 23 NC State 85 to 74 in the Maui Invitational. Don't look now, but the hottest team in the NBA remains the Detroit Pistons. How about this? 13. Straight wins as they beat the Indiana Pacers by a final of 122 to 117. That's a franchise record for Detroit with all of those championships and winning. How about that? Kate Cunningham 24 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, and JB Bickerstaff seemingly not satisfied enough with 13 wins in a row. Yeah, I mean, again, I would like for us to be greedier, um, you know, I felt like in that 4th quarter, and even in the 3rd quarter, we let our guard down defensively. Um, you know, we allowed them to make a run and, you know, again, I, I, I'll keep saying it like our defense is our identity, that's when we're at our best, uh, in that second half, you know, we weren't great defensively and that's the mindset we have to have like the mindset has to be, you know, we can't ever feel full or satisfied, um, because, you know, every team you play, you know, they've got talent, they've got guys, you know, they've got champions over there, um, so we got to do a better job, um, you know, just sticking with it and being who we are. I'm being greedy for 48 minutes. Guess who got another triple-double in the NBA. I'll give you a hint. You're looking at him right there and it's not me. Uh, Nikole Jokic had 17 points, 16 assists, 10 rebounds, does this every night already. 125 to 115, Nuggets beat the Grizzlies. The Knicks beat the Nets 113 to 100. Carl Anthony Towns had 37 points, and the Nets are chasing down the number one overall, uh, lottery. Pick probably, uh, and by the way, the Heat has won 5 games in a row. They beat the Dallas Mavericks 106 to 102. Tyler Hero had 24 points in his season debut. Also a trade in Major League Baseball, Sonny Gray of the Saint Louis Cardinals has been traded to the Boston Red Sox for Richard Fitz and another prospect as well. Big story from this Cardinals are gonna send $20 million as part of the deal.
