Stu Feiner on the Wild West of Gambling and Super Bowl Week in Houston
We are officially live from Houston for Super Bowl week, and the energy is already hitting that loopy, sleep-deprived level that only the biggest week in sports can provide. Big Cat and PFT Commenter are celebrating their shared birthday week in the back of an RV, trying to make sense of a city that seems to consist entirely of mattress stores and strip malls. PFT is already floating theories about the local economy that would make a conspiracy theorist blush.
PFT CommenterThe entire city of Houston is a front for a drug operation
I think the entire city of Houston is just a front for some sort of drug operation. That's failing because I don't know what... None of these stores are... I don't know... And the drug operation itself is failing, too.
Before getting to the guest of honor, the guys broke down the penultimate Football Guy of the Week segment of the season. While Sarah Thomas refereeing through a broken wrist and Bill Belichick's intimidation tactics for free agents were strong contenders, Big Cat found himself weirdly inspired by Shaka Smart’s literal coaching metaphors at Texas.
Big CatShaka Smart having an assistant hold a paint can to remind players to stay in the paint is a good move
You know, we make fun of a lot of things and we kind of have a good time on this podcast, but I actually buy this move. Full on. That is like a literal, you know, get into the paint while a guy's flashing a can of paint in your face. You remember to get in the paint.
Who’s Back featured a melancholy tribute to Tiger Woods, who is technically not back after missing the cut, though Big Cat found the ultimate silver lining for the GOAT's longevity.
Big CatTiger Woods missing the cut is actually good because he can't get injured during the final two rounds
Other spin zone, he only played two rounds because he missed the cut. So that's two less rounds you could injure himself in. Less wear and tear. Smart move getting ready for the Masters. Way to save yourself.
They also tackled the myth of the Super Bowl baby. While the NFL loves to promote the idea of a post-game boom in the host city, Big Cat isn't buying the logistics of romance after consuming several pounds of processed meats.
Big CatSuper Bowl babies are a myth because fans are too bloated and drunk after the game to have sex
Super Bowl is the last day that you have sex because everyone eats. You eat a million pigs in a blanket. You drink beer. You sit on the couch. You're [fat], you [fart]. You're not having sex.
Gambling legend Stu Feiner joined the show and immediately turned the volume up to eleven. The man is a human whirlwind, recounting his rise from watching his dad trash the house over Raiders games to becoming the most recognizable tout in the world. Stu didn't hold back on his history, including the time he was portrayed by Al Pacino in *Two for the Money* and his deep-seated belief that the legal landscape for gambling is about to explode.
Stu FeinerSports gambling will be legalized 100% across the United States
In the near future, do you see sports gambling being legalized across the country? 100%. Oh, my God. I'll be a multimillionaire overnight because I can advertise everywhere then. I can advertise any station.
Stu also provided some actual insight for the degenerates in the audience. While everyone flocks to the NFL, the Source claims the real money is found on the diamond where the long season allows for a better edge.
Stu FeinerMajor League Baseball is the easiest sport to win money on
I would say Major League Baseball is the easiest sport to win. No issue about it. Because, again, think about it. The longevity of the cycle of the season gives you the advantage. Like college and pro football are the two hardest.
He also dropped a truth bomb about bankroll management that might be hard for the daily grinders to swallow. According to Stu, the shotgun approach is a death sentence for your wallet.
Stu FeinerThe only way to make money gambling is to bet one game a week and load up
You bet one game a week. Load up. That's the only way to make money gambling. You cannot make money gambling betting every single day. None, never, has never happened.
Wrapping up the show, the guys hit on the 49ers hiring John Lynch as their new GM. Despite Lynch moving straight from the broadcast booth to the front office, Big Cat and PFT see a vision there that others might miss, especially regarding his physical history with the game.
PFT CommenterHaving 700 concussions makes John Lynch more qualified to judge football players as a GM
Lynch is the GM of the Niners now. Hasn't he had like 700 concussions? But wouldn't that make him more able to judge football players? Like, 'been there, done that.'
Big CatHiring a failed broadcaster as GM is a winning strategy
The nice thing is you always, when you're an owner of a football team, you always want to find the guy that failed at broadcasting and hire him to be the GM. Yes, exactly. That never, ever fails.
It’s going to be a long, weird week in Houston, but as long as we have enough water and the carbon monoxide detector in the RV stays quiet, we're going to make it to Sunday.
See you on Wednesday, and remember to keep grinding for those 32 goals.
