All right, it's time for Against the Spray. I got to give you my greatest professional regret before we get out of here. Oh, snap. Okay. It's presented by DraftKings. DraftKings crowns yours. Chris.

I have a rule in life. It's always bet against Trevor Rodgers. Pitcher for the Orioles, the Marlins traded him. The Marlins got a really good prospect for Trevor Rodgers. I have no idea what the Orioles were doing acquiring Trevor Rodgers. He is facing the Rangers tonight against Patrick Corbin. You got to go bet against Trevor Rodgers. We are taking the Rangers plus one and a half against the spread.

Go ahead, Dan. That's it? We're just doing one? Yes, just one game today. Okay. When you bet against Trevor Rodgers, it's the only action you need. That's a bet I've enjoyed making over the last few years. He's just a solid ERA of more than five. We got one of their best prospects for him.

What were they thinking? It was a bit confusing. It's just a tall person who throws from that side. They'll just grab him and try and make him a baseball player. Juju is here, and I want to get to this in a second. But first, I want to get to the back and forth that David Sampson had with Andrew McCutcheon.

Andrew McCutcheon is the left fielder. He's playing left field now for the Pirates, correct? You're wearing a Pirates hat back there, Chris. I'm sure you can name all of the Pirates after Skeens, right? Skeens, McCutcheon, and then boys. Yes. So he had a back and forth with David Sampson. And for some reason, David Sampson was questioning McCutcheon sources and

And McCutcheon then questioned David Sampson's sources. What are you laughing about, Cody? I can't wait to hear this because it's ridiculous getting into a back and forth like that with an athlete, David Sampson. Okay, so let's watch here. Let's look at what we have here, this screenshot of McCutcheon and Sampson going back and forth at each other.

McCutcheon says, my source stinks, David. What a laughable thing to say when my source is the commissioner of Major League Baseball. And I have 27 witnesses to back that up. So stick to your little channel.

You're Lil' Channel, and do this. And then he shows The Rock telling him to know your role and keep your mouth shut. What are you laughing about, Chris? Oh, good for him, says Juju. And look at big Pirates fan Chris Cody has never cared more about the Pirates than he does right now because he's going after David Sampson. McCutcheon, you like that he hit him with Lil' Show? Lil' Channel, which is very dismissive. That's our Lil' Channel. He's making fun of our Lil' Channel.

Thank you. He's got his own channel. I know, but he's just making fun of little channels everywhere. Why wouldn't you want to stand up for little channels? Is there a difference between a little channel and a little channel? The way I was pronouncing it, I was just giving you the L-I-L apostrophe. The little channel is more lovable. Push.

Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Levitard Show. Is the Lil' Channel more lovable? What did you have for us on Kevin Durant, Juju? And it's nice to see you, sir. Nice to see you as well. Good for him to cut you, man. A lie maker halfway around the world before the truth even gets out of bed. So, yeah, stand up for yourself, brother.

But yeah, I think that the Rockets got exactly what they needed in Kevin Durant, bro. Like last playoffs, they lost playoff games without because they didn't have a scorer, a go to scorer. One of the games they had Alperin Shingun with the with the game on the line going up a

against Draymond. He got stonewalled against Draymond and Draymond flexed on him and all of that. If they had anybody to pass it to or just a go-to scorer, they would have been in better shape. And Jalen Green came up so short this playoffs, reminded us that he may not be what they...

exactly need in Houston either. So I think it's a wonderful trade for Houston Rockets. Juju, you are correct about that because they didn't give up any of their actual great young assets. And you're absolutely right that they got the thing they absolutely need and the

thing they were taught they needed by Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry. Like you need one of these on your side if you're going to get past what remains of the old, you know, fighting champions in that conference. Yeah, absolutely. Because Fred Van Vliet, however you say it, Van Vliet, he tried his darndest and he hit some big shots. But when you got people squaring up and just locking in on Van Vliet, he's easy to stop. You can't stop the easy money sniper.

Ever. Do you guys have trouble with Van Vliet as well? I get a little scared around. I'm scared around the double Vs there. I don't do it with a lot of confidence. Do you get scared around them, Chris? Terrified. Are we all confident Van Vlieters? Nope. I just call him Fred. Okay, Fred. That would be a funny way to analyze that, to just say, you know, the Rockets came up short because of Fred last year. Yeah.

Like Fred Mitchell. Just Fred. Like, what happened? Well, they were going up against Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry, and they had a guy named Fred. Right. Like soccer players. They should just say Fred on the back of his jersey. Has there been a great Fred at sports? McGriff. He was the champion. You got me. Yeah. Not many others, though. That can't be our best Fred. It's got to be. He's a two-time...

Who's the champion? What are you talking about? Fred. Fred Freeman. There you go. Juju's right. Oh, Freddie. Freddie Freeman. Freddie, though. There's a Freddie. Freddie's different than Fred. Very different. It is, right? Yeah, very different. Fred lands with a single syllable, and that person is not good at sports until proven otherwise, just by virtue of their name being Fred. Yeah, Flintstone is the most famous Fred of all time. Great bowler. Yeah, good bowler.

Speaking of one syllable, J Her, Jeanette from Twitter says that Zaslow today looks like the keeper of the cup, Mike Bolt. That's good. He just looked like himself. He's looking more and more confident. We can't tell what it is exactly. It's just the radiance that he has about him. But I think it's just from winning, winning all his bets, winning all his championships. Fred Lynn. Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one. That's a good one.

Good contribution. As opposed to Botox. Yeah, SOFLA, as you like to say. Yeah, S-O, capital F-L-A. One word, by the way. Do you have any other finals thoughts? I enjoyed your alley-oop coverage throughout the postseason juju after games. Did you have any other thoughts on the finals? Yeah, I agree with Mike. I think that Halliburton had to play. This is exactly what you play for. It's like you want to win a Grammy, and the Grammys say, hey,

come on down here today and perform for us and you either you or this other brother gonna win the grammy and you like oh but i rest my voice on wednesdays i can't come down i'm gonna save it for next year like nah this is this is what exactly you play for the whole year is going to be about next year so

It sucks. It took the air out of the entire world, the basketball world yesterday. But I feel like given the opportunity, I would have made the same decision if I was Halliburton. Can you guys remember something feeling quite like that in terms of and there are many injuries throughout sports that are like.

hurtful and Kevin Durant did go down earlier in the series but to have it happen in a game seven after Halliburton played that way I

I, off the top of my head, wasn't remembering a whole lot of situations where you would go from the enthusiasm of Game 7, this is the most exciting thing, is it possible that Indiana will produce one of the greatest upsets in the sports history, to, oh, that's sad. It's not even that it's just not the result I wanted. It's just all sad. I'm watching something here that was a party, and now there's just sadness because this seems unfair.

unjust. This seems like the absolutely imperfect way to finish all of this. Can you guys think of another circumstance where a championship has sort of been just soiled by an injury? Do you think Willis McGahee qualifies? I mean, that game was so crazy special that people remember it even though that happened earlier.

early in the game and we saw that his career was going to be impacted in the pros. But I'm more talking about you just are deflated on two fronts.

You're feeling sadness for a human being, and you're also getting the anticlimax of now Indiana doesn't have any chance. My interest in this game is something that is no longer what it was five minutes ago. Yeah, I think it's as sad as it was. Sorry, Big Bro, you go ahead. No, no, but I was just going to mention, after he went out, they played very well the rest of that first half, right?

Yeah. Yes, sir. At halftime, you're thinking to yourself, all right, this could be the miracle where Indiana loses its best player and still makes a game of this. I mean, at halftime, I think you still had the feeling that, wow, they're going to win one for Halliburton. This could be a spectacular finish to a final. Right. They were up at the half. And as sad as it was, Miles Turner, six points. The last two games of Miles Turner, man.

Aaron Neesmith, three points. Obi Toppin, zero points. Sorry, excuse me. Fine. Ben Shepard, zero points. Siakam, 13 field goal attempts, like six points in the second half. When your star goes down, you got to come together as a squad and be like, all right, y'all, Dan is sick today.

What we got, we got to keep it going. I'm going to do this. I'm going to hit him with this one. Roy, you hit him with the hockey. Chris, you touch eggplant's hand. Like we got to come up with a plan. And they didn't come up with nothing. Fred Dreyer.

Fred Bolitnikoff. Another good one. Fred Bolitnikoff. I still think McGriff might be the greatest of the Freds, though. I don't think you're better than Fred Lynn right on the cusp of the Hall of Fame. I don't think we produced a Hall of Fame Fred. Fred Taylor? What are you guys doing with Fred McGriff? Wasn't he just a good player? No. He was really good. He was like an all-time quarter-line Hall of Famer. A lot of times came up for the Hall of Fame and is like one of the best players. And a helicopter swing. So borderline, he's in. Oh, okay. There you go. He eventually made it. He did make it. Okay.

But we agree he was one of the ones. He was close. For many years, he was right on the cusp, and I didn't realize that Greg Cody became more lenient than I am. Yes, crime dog. With his vote. Wasn't there a bad injury gymnast, ankle? It's Kerry Strug. I'm trying to think of bad injuries in sports. Kerry Strug, 1996.

Yeah, but she won. She won despite the injury. You understand what I'm saying? Just doesn't have that particular deflation that way where you're coming for a party and you end up being sad. You know, it's like, uh, and you end up being sad for both things that it's less entertaining. And also the star player just got hurt in a way that affects his career. We're going to get to the polls in, in just a second. Uh,

But, Billy, what happened back there? What's going on? Just a stretch. Okay, just a stretch. Yeah, just a stretch. All right. You're winding down for the day. What do we have for poll updates, Juju? Best Dairy Queen Blizzard flavor. Heath Bar, Oreo, Reese's, or chocolate chip cookie dough?

44% of the audience says the Oreo Blizzard. Thank you. I prefer more calories than that. I like more maximum calories, according to Chris Cody.

Also, TJ McConnell's mom, well within her rights to defend her baby. Get that camera out of my baby's face. He's sad. He's Michael Jordan to her. Do you ever get the chili dog from Dairy Queen? 77% of the audience says no, they do not. Does anyone? Does anyone? That's the better. Have you ever seen anyone get the chili dog at Dairy Queen? It's a great question. Right. And the last poll, is that some voodoo shit?

92% of the audience says yes it is. Damn right. That is some voodoo shit. My greatest professional regret is
