Eastern. See official rules at program website.
Mike, you know I have one rule to live by, right? Don't place parlays on multiple long shots. Don't say a game is won when it hasn't hit triple zero.
Always drink your JƤgermeister ice cold. That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion. Everything else? Everything else.

Chapter 5: How does Mike Ryan celebrate the potential salary cap relief?
Okay, maybe there are two rules, but the one that is 100% that I insist on completely, Jagermeister, must be drank ice cold. Or don't drink it at all. Damn, that's cold. Exactly.
You're finally starting to get it. Drink responsibly. Jagermeister Liqueur, 35% alcohol by volume, imported by Mass Jagermeister U.S., White Plains, New York. Does he get that today? I'm not totally sure.
He beat Shams by two minutes to the story that the FBI has descended upon the NBA as soon as the season starts and is yanking players and coaches off the court because, hey, turns out gambling with your sports can be kind of dangerous if the athletes and coaches are involved when they're not supposed to be and using their own moral compasses.
Adam Silver's having a good year.

Chapter 6: What historical context is provided about the 2005 Eastern Conference Finals?
I would have worn something different. He's doing a 10 a.m. press conference that has engulfed the sport and the sports world so much that Chris Cody, fed this kind of information that he doesn't have a lot of familiarity with, says, look, Terry Rozier feeling kind of lucky today when Chauncey Billups' name is associated with the gambling probe.
And then I just hear from the other side of the room, he's going to federal prison, Chris.
I didn't say he's happy, happier. Optics are important, Chris. He's happier than he was before the Chauncey thing dropped. No. I think he is. He's like, all right, he can be the lead now. No, no. I got second billing now.
Nope, nope. He was cleared by the NBA, and then the FBI says, no, the feds say, no, you're not cleared. And all Mike Ryan is doing is trying to figure out how much salary cap does this space cause?
Chapter 7: What insights are shared about gambling culture in sports?
How much salary cap space is this team going to get because of the relief of finally Terry Rozier, one of the least popular athletes in the history of South Florida, according to only Mike Ryan. Only Mike Ryan.
Look at that smile on his face.
Oh, this is one of the happiest days. I believe Mike Ryan is happier today than he was with either of the Panther championships. Ooh, it's right up there. I think you're going to go over to 11 and start partying in the morning to celebrate that Terry Rozier is coming off the books. I'm getting text messages congratulating me like I got a promotion. That part's weird.
I was playing Katrina in the waves this morning. I got a perma smile. Look at me. I'm my best self right now. That NBA investigation, we should talk a little bit about that. He was cleared by the NBA.
Chapter 8: What conclusions can be drawn about the future of the NBA amid these scandals?
I'm sure they'll turn it around with this whole Kawhi thing. We're going to have David Sampson on to explain to us an unholy mess in the NBA. And this day has been coming for a while because you can only have so many Jonte Porters before people realize. A Hall of Famer got arrested. He has no business being in that Hall of Famer. Wait a minute, don't make it a Hall of Famer. No, no, no, no.
He is, in this century, a face of the game. He is a Hall of Fame player, a champion, and a current head coach. A Hall of Famer is probably happy. A Hall of Famer being arrested for this is not as big as an active coach being arrested for this. An active coach being arrested for this is a much bigger problem than Hall of Famer was gambling. Happier. Right, but, you know, Chauncey Phillips is both.
Basketball is back, Jack. Time for our favorite winter sport. The summertime is over, so let's head down to the court. Time for the tip-off. Give me fast breaks on the attack. Will you shoot a three or take it to the rack? Basketball is back, Jack.
Or a killer cross you love the most When the offense tries to run and gun Is it man to man or box and one It's big plays and talking smack That's how you know that basketball is back Jack Let me hear you say, basketball, basketball, basketball. Basketball is back, Jack. 360 dunks and pick and rolls. And we're going to watch it every day till they raise the Larry O. Hard fouls and hook shots.
A dagger three and hack a shag. If you say this game's the best, I'll say it's a gag. Basketball is back, Jack. Basketball is back. Basketball is back. Basketball is back.
I think my favorite part of that opening video is how progressively worse your father's lip-syncing gets over the course of time that we've been doing this. I thought I was going to start with Tua is now too small and can't see his receivers. This guy. And is Johnny Manziel in another uniform?
I thought I was going to start with the Heat are going to be better than people think they are because they're going to score more, they're going to be fun, but have the same problems at the end of games that they had last year when you're trusting Norman Powell as your lead option or Tyler Hero as opposed to a different option. But that's going to be a playoff team this year if they stay healthy.
The place we're going to stay, I'm imagining, all show today is a really uncommon scandal. Multiple scandals now because Adam Schefter is wandering over from football to say that the Chauncey Billups report, the arrest, is about a separate... Gambling ring tied to the mafia and poker games and is not tied to betting on games. Terry Rozier has been arrested by the feds.
And at 10 a.m., Kash Patel is going to have a press conference because the federal government is going to make a big show of arresting.
