How does the show open and set the summer sports vibe?

Mike Ryan 0:00
Summer is pretty much my favorite time to be a sports fan. The biggest soccer tournament of the summer just wrapped up. Baseball's on every night. Racing never takes a weekend off. And my calendar basically revolves around first pitches, green flags, and whatever game everybody's texting about. I realized I'm the MVP of my group. I'm always the friend that says, hey, I've got it. I've got a place. I've got some ice cold Miller lights. I got the TV. I got a big, comfy blue leather couch. Come on over. That's the behavior of a Miller time MVP. I almost never watch the big ones alone. I'd much rather be with my friends. And if I am alone, we're texting. We're sipping on our Miller Lights, toasting the day, toasting the big games.
Mike Ryan 0:43
For me, Miller Light is just a part of a big game routine. It's brewed for taste with simple ingredients, clean, refreshing, and easy to drink, especially in the Miami heat. It's a true American Pilsner and the original light beer since 1975. An all-American summer starts with an all-American beer, Miller Lite. Go to MillerLite.com slash Dan to find delivery options near you. Or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller time. Celebrate responsibly. Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

I guess the spread is presented by DraftKings Sports. Mike, I really like this youngster for the Cleveland Guardians, Parker Messick. You know he was a rookie that made the All-Star game? Man, did you know that? He's pretty solid.
Chris Cote 1:45
Did you know that? The Cleveland Guardians, they pitch. They don't hit so much.
Mike Ryan 1:51
Well, Parker Messick is a big reason why they pitch. He's only given up more than two runs once over his last five starts, and Dan, the Twinkies are a-sliding. They're going in the wrong direction, so I'm going to go with... Parker Messick and them boys against the spread. Minus one and a half. Get it on the DraftKings Sports app. Available in all 50 states.
Unknown 2:11
Against the spread. Against the spread. Against the spread.
Chris Cote 2:17
We're going to get to Juju in a minute here. We have an assortment of announcements to make. But one of the things that is just being reported is that Cam Newton is reportedly being laid off by ESPN. What are you smiling about, Mike?
Mike Ryan 2:36
You could see that one coming.
Chris Cote 2:37
Could you?
Mike Ryan 2:38
The Whitlock interview that he did and putting Stephen A in a really awkward position.
Juju Gotti 2:43
Yeah, he behaved ridiculously.
Mike Ryan 2:44
Yeah, of course. You could see he knew that he was stepping into it, and he stepped fully into it. Yeah, I guess consequences.
Chris Cote 2:52
What are your thoughts in general on just what is happening at ESPN today? It sucks.
Mike Ryan 2:59
There's a lot of talented people that I have a fair amount of respect for that are losing their jobs. And this isn't new, though, right? This is every year, unfortunately. Yeah, but it doesn't happen. to people with like 30 years of tenure all that often. So there's some pretty shocking names there. But once they started spending big on a couple of talents and also rights fees, you could see that this day was going to be coming.

What DraftKings and Miller Lite sponsorship banter appears in the intro?

Mike Ryan 3:20
It's been long rumored and we were told that it was going to be some pretty big names, but I'm still surprised by some of the names that we're hearing. McAfee and Stephen Ayer are going to get blamed, right?
Chris Cote 3:29
I wonder how this is going to play out because people like to complain about ESPN, but as I sit here today, I think there are only fewer than 10 people that actually would matter in a substantive way. Beyond the clucking, people like to be outraged. It's a bigger sport than any of the sports, but... Are there even 10 names right now that would result in legitimate outrage I'm not gonna watch anymore? The games are what carry you, and the games are what matter, and they are betting again and again on the games. Are there even five names, honestly? If I gave you more than five names and said you're gonna be shocked by these names, I think there are only five. Let me think for a second, because I haven't given this a lot of thought, but I don't think it's even 10
