Chapter 2: What insights did the guests share about soccer in the age of analytics?
It'll be up there shortly, also on the 810 app. And listen to our conversation with Sam Gregory. He's the director of data analytics for USA Soccer. And a lot of fun talking to him, obviously. Bright guy, nice guy. You know, he really knows the sport, knows the data, knows the analytics. One of the things he said is no questions about tactics in the World Cup. That was in the email, right, Kyle?
Like, no questions don't, like, and I'm like, oh, well. Yeah. I don't know that I'm, you know, I don't think I was going to go there. But it's nice to know that the soccer folks, maybe not as paranoid as Andy Reid. Yeah. But making it clear. But who is?
Chapter 3: How does USA Soccer utilize data analytics for performance improvement?
Yeah, that's not where we're going. No, no, no. Don't worry. That's not where I wanted to go. But I feel better about USA Soccer after hearing him and hearing Paul Carr.

Chapter 4: What are the expectations for the USA Soccer team in the upcoming World Cup?
Gentlemen, how are you?
We're doing great. We've been back here talking tactics on the World Cup, so I hope you got some off-the-record information for us.
Did you get some of that? Okay, okay. What did you boys settle on?
We weren't talking about that. Yeah, because I am an insider when it comes to soccer. He knows all the tactics.
Yeah, the football tactics.
I've changed those, Saran. I mean, you know, I used to think it was just a bunch of crap, really, to be honest with you. And you know what? These are good athletes, and I think it's taking the United States by storm.
Well, there's a lot more to it than just throwing the ball out there and kicking it around.
That's what this is all about tonight. It's a great game. It really is. I still don't know a hell of a lot about it, but I'll tell you this much. These guys and gals, tremendous athletes, tremendous ā
Our women's team is way better. Let's start with them. They're awful good. We're the gals and guys. We're ahead of the world on that one, yeah, for sure.

Chapter 5: How do the guests feel about the current state of the Royals' performance?
Okay.
Slow and steady for Pete. All right. How about this? Patrick Mahomes throws for how many yards in 2026? This is not just what you think he's going to do, but how many games you think he's going to actually get out on the field and play. We're going to start with me. By the way, the last four years, he's thrown for him in a round of the nearest hundred for you. 3,600, 3,900, 4,200, 5,300 yards.
That's going backwards. Last year, 3,600. He missed the last three games. 3,900 the year before. I think they benched him for the last one on that. 4,200 the year before that and 5,300 the year before that. I am coming in at, I think they're going to run the ball. I think they're going to be more effective. I don't think they're going to run away and hide.
I think he'll have to play all the games. I think he will play all the games. Put me down at 4,711. Curtis, 43-50. 43-50? I see what you did there. 43-50. 43-50. Lebo?
I was going to go a little lower, but now you guys got me scared.
Why? We have not been effective at these answers. I know. We haven't been.
I'm going to say what I was going to say initially. 41-01. How about that?
41-01. All right. Pete? 43-12. 43-12. I thought Pete might come with like 5,000.
No, I don't think so. I think you're right about they're going to run the ball a little bit more this year, but I think he's going to have a really good year. I don't think there's going to be a lot of interceptions.

Chapter 6: What predictions were made about the Royals' future games?
I told you.
Michael Garcia, the rest of the starting lineup, Salvador Perez, Michael Massey at second, Michael Garcia at third, Jack Caglione in right, Kyle Isbell in center, and Isaac Collins in left field. I can tell you that right now, I probably should have done this beforehand. And, Todd, if you want to change yours since Pete hasn't gone yet.
Right now, coming into today, the RBI total was Carter Jensen, Vinny Pascottino, and Salvador Perez. This might even be updated right now. 17. Bob Witt, Jr., 16. Garcia, 14. Isaac Collins, 12. Nick Lofton, 10. Mike Massey, 9. Jack Caglione, 8. Okay.
Okay, I'm going to take the captain going out in a blaze of glory.
Salvador Perez? Uh-huh. Okay, Salvador Perez. I'll stay with mine. I'll take Carter. Okay. Yeah.
I like where he hits me. Next is Kyle. I'm going to go with Carter Jensen. He's cold right now, but he'll figure it out. Okay.
You guys are not watching the leaps and bounds progress that's being made by Jack Caglione. That's true. He's going to hit the ball over the wall a lot. Give me Big Jack.
Okay, dog? That's where I wanted to go. You can do it. I'll stay there. I'll stay there. It's either him or Salve. I'll go Jack.
I think it's him or Carter Jensen.

Chapter 7: What are the key statistics discussed regarding Patrick Mahomes' performance?
Pete? No, I'm not, because I'm going to take a team that nobody would take, and that's the Raiders.
Oh, the Raiders. OK, I don't think the Raiders are an awful thing. If Mendoza wins the job and he's the real deal and they've got the quarterback situation solved, I don't think that's awful. I think the team that should have been thought about was the Browns. Yeah, I was thinking about them, too. They've got defensive players and they've got a bunch of draft picks this year.
So if they if they get any kind of coaching at all about their quarterback still, I'm scared. It might be it might be back to Deshaun Watson. Ooh. There he is. He's healthy.
There was a story on ESPN about what each team's biggest position of need is at this point. For Cleveland, the only one is at quarterback.
They need auto brands.
Curtis, was the author of that article Munch Bishop? Maybe. It may have been.
What date will we see the first college football coach make $20 million per year? Kurt Cignetti is making $13.2 million. And he did that on February 20th of 26th. I am going to project, I'm going to take $2.20 of... 220 of 36. I think it's going to slow way down because I think they're going to realize they need to put money into the rosters. Curtis? 220 of 35. 220 of 35. Lebo?
It only takes one dumb team. That's what I was thinking too, yeah. But that's a long way to get to 20.
Signetti only pushed the bar, Todd, from 13 to 13.2. Yeah, it's going to be a while. And Kirby Smart had been at 13 for a couple years, which makes me think they're kind of easing back.

Chapter 8: How do the guests assess the chances of last-place NFL teams improving?
Wow.

Who's our boy from L.A. that was the... Fernando? Yeah, Fernando Valenzuela.
Nope. God. There's at least one active player. Lebo?
