Remember this, folks, when we are useful, we are useful, and when we are useless, we are fucking useless. A very pleasant good morning to you on the 29th day of August 2024. Today's Daily Hustle quote of the day, "Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice." And is never the result of selfishness, Napoleon Hill. All right, yeah, if you think about anything great that we've accomplished in our lives, there's work that needs to be put into it. If you have not sacrificed anything, whatever you're doing, it's not great. It's cool, it might be something that you're proud of, it might be something that you can look upon and be like, "Oh, yeah, hey, well, I did this or I did that." Well, guess what? Until there's great sacrifice attached with that. It's not fucking great. You might think it's great, but it's not. And then if it's done with the idea that it's very selfish and self-motivated and everything else, well, guess what? It's not fucking great either, so that is the Daily Hustle quote of the day. Gonna do something, let's say new, but we're gonna do a five and dive with the stories here. By the way, our title sponsor is bet online. It is the number one online gambling destination.

And it's interesting because, I mean, these days, I'm like, you know, man, it's kind of a pain in the ass and Dorino. And so, I'll live with a cracked phone for months on end until it's very convenient for me to pop it in the Apple Store, exchange out the device, whatever. Well, this one's been cracked for a while, and I was looking at making an appointment and going to the Apple Store, and then I realized that I'm like, shit, I can't give an appointment. Like, this thing's booked out for days, and then I see someone's like, send your device in, they'll send it back, you send your device back to them within 10 days, and what they do is they put a hole in your credit card for a brand new iPhone. So, I don't know what the number was, it's like a ridiculous number though, right? I mean, it's crazy, I mean, these are little computers, basically. But they sent me the iPhone, they put a hole in the credit, they say a hole, but here comes the charges. So now, I got to get the other phone back to them within 10 days. Now, the question becomes this, what happens if it's day 11, and they get it? Am I fucked? Do they send the iPhone back? Because it does still work. Hey, I did that not only with the iPhone, I did it with the iPad, the actual iPad that I'm running this daily hustle on right now. It's got a crack in it, and I started thinking to myself because it was part of a pain in the ass to transfer all the data. Should I just live with a little crack in the upper right hand corner? I don't know. So, this is my first experiment with it, so I'll continue to go ahead and fill you guys in on the order phone slash iPad repair via mail. All right. So, last night was Shohei Otani bobblehead night in his dog decoy throughout the first pitch. You can't make this shoot up with a historical season that Shohei Otani is having. Last night was a celebration of Otani. Now, think about the career so far, Shohei Otani in Southern California, right? It comes to the Angels. It's just doing things that we've never seen anybody doing a baseball field before. He's throwing 100 miles per hour, striking out players at just this astronomical rate. Offensively, I'm just off the charts, right? And then he gets this big free agent deal, signs with the Dodgers, a historical deal. He's making $2 million a year, back loaded this contract, then all of a sudden spring training starts. And there's this whole EPE translator debacle going on. Everybody's wondering that did EPE really steal all this money? I think it was reported like $4 million in boxing. I was like, dude, how do you get $4 million stolen from you? You don't even know. And so a lot of questions surrounding this. There was a Southern California book he involved. And then it was like, well, was Shohei gambling? And did he have a problem? Was EPE covering for him? They end up finding out that it was more than $4 million. It was like $16 million that EPE had figured out how to rip off from Shohei. Just, again, like a lot of unanswered questions and all that. But then the season starts. And you had a lot of people questioning what kind of year was Shohei going to have? He wasn't healthy. He couldn't pitch first year with the Dodgers. Historically, it's not a great hitter's part. Well, he's gone out there and he's done nothing but fucking ball out. He has gone 40-40. He's now at 42 and 42 after hitting another homerun last night, a couple more stolen bases. And he does all of this on his bubble head night in which his dog, this fucking dog, goes out to the pitcher's mound and showy places on there. And then the dog stays there. And then he puts the ball next to the dog and the dog puts the ball in his mouth. And he runs up the show and delivers the ball and home plate. The dog runs the first fucking pitch. You just can't make this stuff up. He is an international superhero. I'll go so far to say this guy might be the most fucking famous athlete on earth. He is a Hollywood story just one thing after another after another after another. It just makes me laugh. I mean, there's just no way. But that's the beauty of life, I think, sometimes, where he's bought into this role and there's this innocence. I think about him. Even when the whole evening was going down, he kind of had this bewildered look. And there's something to be said about the gift of blankness, if that makes sense, right? Where you can have all this shit happening around you. Even on the bubble and I'm like, it's just prepared to go play a big league baseball game. But, well, hey, yeah, sure. It's my ball ahead. And sure, yeah, let's throw my dog into it. And he yelled, guess what? I've trained my dog to deliver this first pitch. Just really, really, really cool. I don't think we appreciate him as much as we probably should. Now, I know Greg, the answer we talked about this yesterday, called him the greatest living player. Joey Matani is an amazing store of supply and entertainment. He's an amazing baseball player. Could be the best baseball player right now. I get it. And whatever. But he is not the greatest football player. That belongs to Barry Barnes. Again, talked about yesterday. Okay. The, oh, no. I mean, this is right in the midst of the phone exchange. But that was just the first thing I wanted to get through. The second one here, the power rankings came out. These are ESPN's power rankings came out this morning. We'll go five, four, three, two, one. Yeah, let's do that. Number five on the list of ESPN's power rankings. You ready for this? The Arizona Diamondbacks. Corbin Carroll, again, last night, walks it off with a fucking grand slam. This is the hottest team in baseball right now. They lost the night before, but before that, it was just, I think six wins in a row. You go back a couple months now. There's no better team in baseball, and it's not even close. So look out for the DBACs. It says here they have gone from 10 games out of first place in the division on July 9th, only three games back as of Thursday morning. Their next series, four games against the Dodgers team that they've spent these last few months chasing. Their last series, three games against the Padres team with which they've been virtually in lockstep in the wild car standings since the All-Star Break playoff positioning will, of course, be the focus of the reigning NL champions who reached the World Series last year despite not having home field advantage in any series. The DBACs rotations finally healthy, so much of the Jordan Montgomery has been sent to the bullpen. You have read an article about Montgomery this morning, too. That's a rough one. With that Blake Snell actually sort of calling out Jordan Montgomery life. Look, dude. I get it. You didn't get the contract you wanted. I didn't get the contract. I wanted quick bitching and fucking pitch better. That's pretty good message to me. Sounds about right. Now it's time. Now it's about getting three key position players. Gabriel Moreno, Christian Walker, and she tell them our day back in the lineup for the stretch runs. I mean, those guys are huge, so the fact that they're doing it without them is incredible. So that's number five, number four here, the Baltimore Orioles, 77-57. I'm, quote, I'm kind of searching for guys to get out in the back third of the game right now. That's how Orioles manager Brandon Hyde recently summarizes bullpen situation. Baltimore's relief works has become a problem. Craig Kimbrell, who was allowed a base runner in 13 of his last 14 outings, has been demoted from his closer role, his replacement deadline acquisition, Sir Anthony Dominguez, gave up two walk-off home runs to the Mets. This last week, the Orioles aren't the only contender with questions in their bullpen, especially at the back end. But the onslaught of injuries to the rotation in Corbin Burns's recent struggles exasperates the issues going forward in September as these guys battle out for an American league first title. The O's went down to the Joe Hay Otani decoy lead. That's Otani's dog Dodgers. Number three, the Phillies. Some fun Phillies facts to watch. Alec Baum is 11 RBI's from reaching 100. No fucking way. Wow. It would make him the first Phillies third baseman to reach the century mark sits. Scott Roland, 2001. Al Swarber is hitting 193 with 75 OPS versus right handed pitchers. But 324 with a 955 OPS versus left-handers. That's insane. I mean, I didn't know what to say under the fact that I guess he likes the ball moving away from him, but he's so good at pulling his hands in. This one, I would have to analyze further. Trey Turner is hitting 305, which is making the first Phillies shorts up to hit 300 since Larry Boa. I love Larry. God damn he was fun to work with. In 1975 and before that you have to go back to Dick Bartel in 1934 with the Phillies upcoming big four game series against Atlanta in which they can essentially wrap up the division by taking three of four. But it moved up the struggling time on Walker to pitch Wednesday against the Astros and push. Oh, sorry, technical difficulties on my new phone. I have all sorts of notifications coming one after another. I push Christopher Sanchez back to start Thursday against the Bravo's. All right. Number two, the New York Yankees, the Yankees push for the American League East Crown will be bolstered by influx of talent in September. As many as eight players should come off the injured list over the final month, including starters, Luis Gill, Clark Schmidt, Cody Petit, first baseman Anthony Rizzo and fielder John Bertie and relievers Lou Trevino and Ian Hamilton, plus Alfield Cross, my Jason Dominguez and relievers Nick Bertie and Scott Efros are possible September call-ups as well, sorting through the reinforcements and how to deploy them will be in front of mine in the Bronx as the Yankees that seek to dethrone the Orioles in the division. That's right. The Orioles actually won the division last year. All right. Number one, your Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers focus down the stretches obvious. They need to get their starting rotation where Yoshinova Yamamoto has been out since the middle of June and still needs to navigate through a rehab assignment. Yeah. I pitched, I think yesterday, I saw him, give him a fucking ball, like, I'm talking, just freaking new city. It was a crush to center field. So I can't be too thrilled about that, but he got through and struck out a couple guys, whatever. You want to look into rehab starts too much because the guys on the other end, yeah, they're good. They're typically top prospects, crazy talented. And when they see a big leader coming out for a rehab start, they're licking their fucking chops. This is where they have an opportunity to, oh, yeah, you think this guy's a great big leader? Well, we're going to fucking show him. So that's exactly what happened to Yama.

Tyler Glass now is working his way back from 10 to 9 as it seems to be more serious than the team who initially believed Walker, Bueller, and Bobby Miller, meanwhile, have struggled mindily. Though, Bueller showed some really positive signs on Wednesday. He did. I thought you'd look good. He got fucked. There was a check swing call that the third base umpire missed. It wasn't even close. Like a full swing. And then right after that, Walker Bueller gives up in double and you could see the anger and frustration as he walked off the mound and he fucking stared the third base umpire down. Just stared him out. Oh, he was frustrated. He did a good job composing himself, I think. Don't blame him for looking at direction. I really, really, really do not. The degree of potential outcomes for the rotation is incredibly why Jack Flaherty seems to be the only certainty at this moment to start games in October, though cases can certainly be made for Gavin Stone and Clayton Kershaw. So, I mean, amidst all of this, and this is, I think, what's the wild, is that, like, you're looking at it, you're like, at some point, you're dealing with all these injuries with the Dodgers. The Yankees obviously dealt with a lot, but here they are. Why? Because they're the two best organizations in baseball. You think I'm fucking around? There's a reason why the Dodgers are the Dodgers and the Yankees are the Yankees. Death. They don't fuck around. They stockpile one dude after another after another. And guess what? They pay the freight. They're not afraid to pay their players. They're not afraid to have dudes and AAA making hundreds of thousands of dollars. It doesn't bother them. The reinforcements are real. And with all the injuries that both the Yankees and the Dodgers have dealt with, the fact that they're still there, it's incredible. Okay. College football is getting back going this week and they had week zero, which was last week. And then this week is going to be a banger, some really good matchups going on. The first one, Notre Dame at number 20, Texas A&M, so Notre Dame's ranked seventh. The game is sexy and large part because former Duke coach Mike Oko is now in college station leading the Aggies. And his former blue devil's quarterback Riley Leonard is the front man for Notre Dame. So this should be an epic matchup in college station, just a three point spread looking forward to that one. Number 23 USC is playing LSU, which ranked number 13. I mean, this is going to be a tough one. It says the we just lost the first two picks in the NFL draft bowl is really all about defense as in which one will stink less than it did last year, new LSU defensive coordinator Blake Baker, hired away from Missouri, will have a better unit than new USC defensive coordinator, Deantone Lynn, hired away from rival UCLA in week one, because he has better personnel. That's usually how the fucking goes. Look for LSU linebacker health Perkins to produce two sacks, including the game clincher of Miller Moss in the fourth quarter in a nine point Tigers victory. I mean, they're getting really specific here in the athletic with their predictions. I like it. All right. Number 14 Clemson is taking our number one Georgia. It's Georgia minus 13 and a half and AP number one ranked team hasn't lost a season opener since BYU beat Miami and Provo in 1990. If Clemson has any shot of coming within two scores of the Bulldogs just because TJ Parker and Peter Woods, the team's budding young defensive line stars, Rick havoc on a veteran Bulldogs offensive line that has only allowed 13 sacks last season. I think something's got to give there, but look for Georgia to roll and cover that 13 and a half point spread. Number 19 Miami is at Florida. Miami's two and a half point favorites Florida has won 34 consecutive home opener is find yourself as a home underdog in a season opener for only the second time since 1970. I mean, you've got to, you've got to pick the home team, right college football. So gosh, damn emotional. It really is. And I get it. You might have some dudes that don't have the experience and that's usually when you have a big school like Florida and you know, they're making investment into their players in school, everything else, but you have an unranked Florida team. It's just usually you're telling me it's that's an experience. Well, man, getting points at home, you've won 34 straight home openers, fuck off, man. I've taken the Gators. Two years ago when the Gators held on to beat Utah 24 19 and Billy Napier's debut as the boss in Gainesville, those you'd, however, didn't have the hype and the talent of the sealed positions at the 2024 Curry games will bring to the swamp. Yeah. I get it. Florida should be improved defense leave, but this is a team that gave up 455 plus yards and an average of 41.2 points in the final five SEC games a year ago. So I guess look for a high score in a fair, um, let's see here, let's hit up. One more story actually, let's hit up one more game or two more games. You got a number. Okay. Here we go. You got number eight Penn State at West Virginia, the Newton Alliance, if you've ever, I certainly want to go to a Penn State game. I don't know what it is about the whole white out thing, but like places that would be really fucking cool to go to watch a college football game, by the way, it's not Penn State would be a new line. Fans weren't happy with me when I predicted that a 10 win Penn State team would get left out of the 12 team playoff. This game won't be why the big 12 is eight and 14 against the big 10 and head head match up since 2016. And although Neil Brown's team took a nice step forward last year, the Mountaineers won't be able to contain Penn State's offense under new coordinator Andy Kalenke. So look for Penn State who's ranked number eight right now. And then the whole playoff thing is completely changed, right? Now you're just trying to get in the top 12. Love that Penn State is minus eight and a half and that's at West Virginia. Okay. Uh, upset alert South Dakota State at number 17 Oklahoma State South Dakota State is one of 29 consecutive games in two street FCS national championships. The Jack rabbits have 28 seniors in eight returning all conference players, headlined by quarterback Mark Bernowski and safety Tucker large. Call this an early wake up call in a big reason why the big 12 ends up getting only one team in the playoff quarterback, Alan Bowman gets picked off twice and the Cowboys get stunned on a late field ball. It's Oklahoma State at home minus nine and a half. This is, this one's a, you know, really interesting, but let's go over this for a second. Because I've read this article in the Wall Street Journal. It says one of Katie's college football players clicked the QR code on their helmets. This is too good. So Oklahoma State head coach, Mike Gundy, who's been, you know, no one foreseen in doing crazy shit, basically he's like, look, I can't wait for this season to start. I've done with this NIO bullshit. It is completely fucking annoying onward and upward. Let's get this season rolling and they do have a tough task with the Jack rabbits ahead of them. But Oklahoma State, and I love this actually. They put QR codes on the helmets of these players. So if you can actually get in touch with that QR code and I'm interested to see how that'll work if you're sitting at home watching the game, dudes scores a touchdown and you're like, oh, fuck yeah, let's fire him a hundred bucks. Well, I love the innovation of Oklahoma State in that one. Yeah, is this behold the era of digital college football tip jar credit where credits do what an ingenious marketing stunt in the lawless landscape of modern college sports at couch potato like yours truly perhaps inspired by a Cowboys touchdown run or pick six interception will be able to point a phone camera at QR code on the back of an OSU helmet, click a link and send cash to an NIL fund earmarked for everyone on their roster. Gunny appeared on a bat magazine show ESPN bro Saloon and touted the possible windfall for players like running back all he gored a quote. People could be at a bar in London or New York or LA or Tokyo having a watch party get fired up. And they can go online or social media and they can bang money to him through the QR code. This is so good. All right, I'm not sure. I mean, you know where it's really good to hit it's fucking gamblers. I mean, you have a late touchdown or something that like really helps propel these guys. I don't know the heavy hitter high roller that tens of thousands of dollars on a game. Yeah, what's a few hundred bucks floating to the dude that actually helped to do it. So that should be interesting. Now on the flip side of all this, the astonishing rule that cost Aussie team Maya joint $140,000 at the US Open. If Maya joint could keep the $140,000 she earned in prize money for reaching the second round of US Open, she wouldn't buy a brand of car quote. I don't have a driver's license. The 18 year old Australian qualifier said matter of faculty following her 646 loss to number 14 Madison keys on a brutally humid day in or the rest stadium. What would joint like to buy if she could keep the prize money? Maybe a dog, he said before adding a couple dogs. But due to a widely criticized NCAA rule, joint, a freshman at University of Texas won't get to take the prize money home when she leaves the Open. NCAA rules only allow her to take $10,000 to cover her expenses. Quote, "I'm happy with my decision of going to college," she said when asked if there's any part of her that wish she could keep the money and he wrote it. The last American man to win a grand slam title at US Open in 2003, it's crazy it's been that long. Ripped the NCAA rule on social media quote, "It's absurd to me that a college athlete can take money from a local car dealership, but can't accept earned prize money from the US Open," Roddick posted. Okay, this is fucking Astonite. This is one of the stupidest rules I've ever heard in my entire life. The NCAA is so fucking asked backwards right now that you have football players thinking of a QR code in the back of their helmet that anybody could send fucking money to, yet you have a structured professional tennis tour, the US Open, which, hey, the spirit of calling it to US Open, it's got to be fucking open and it is, right? So, you have these teenagers who are the 16-year-old, had an incredible match yesterday, the American girl. I watched a large part of it eating lunch yesterday, and so I think she was trying to get to the third round, she got this thing on her side against third row, so she would be in the same sort of scenario, but you have this girl here who's in college and she can't take the fucking money, because that would make her ineligible, yet we have QR codes. What the fuck is wrong with the NCAA? It's a matter of time, in my opinion, either before, they're just fucking done. What do they do? Do they're organizing body, are they? Because I'm looking at a bunch of mega conferences right now. Are they needed? And the rules and structures and everything else, they're shooting themselves in a deck. This whole thing's going to come crashing down. It's just a matter of time. The whole thing needs to be fucking blown up and restructured. As professional sports is really what it is, with an opportunity to get an education. But then we're going to limit this girl from taking home her $140,000 private, that's a big fucking deal, to help her get started and like, "Who knows how long she's going to be able to play tennis?" So it just does not make any sense to me whatsoever, let the girl keep her fucking money. If you're the NCAA, in my opinion you're going to come up with something like right away, right away. And if I'm not girl, I'd say fuck off, right? Give me a money, I don't need to play college tennis. I want to go to college, I need to play college tennis though, especially if she's, you know, something she's doing well with a professional tour anyway. All right, onward, upward, I'm out, I'm going to pick all game nine o'clock. Everyone have a fantastic day and that's about it, hopefully my audio is working today. Let's see here.

Father, son, dynamic duo talking about the game of football that we love and share and appreciate together. And, you know, hey, it's an extension of what we did, right? Growing up, I was able to watch my father play football, then obviously watch him as a broadcaster. And then he taught me the game of football and share the wisdom that he learned throughout his playing career.
