Transcript Host 1: Big, big, big shout out to Corpossi Glass right there in Spartanburg, the hometown headquarters. We appreciate them and their contributions and coverage of this event all week long at ACC Kickoff. Diesel, it's time for our daily wires... (Sound effect: buzz) It's the buzz. It's happening. Argentina, I mean, in case you missed it yesterday, what a dramatic—I mean, you can't spell dramatic without Argentina—a 2-1 win. They were down 1-0, and you and I were watching it. I mean, it seemed like they were dead to rights, and not once, not twice, they come back. Headbutt into the goal for the winning goal, and Argentina, man, they've got a little magic in them. Host 2: It's all a fix, Cole. FIFA, they're they're corrupt. They're just making sure that Messi gets in. Messi, bigger star than Harry Kane, so you got to get Argentina in, right? Host 1: Yeah, yeah, I think that's probably right. Next World Cup game is Saturday at 5:00 p.m., France-England, the third-place match on Saturday, and then Sunday afternoon, 3:00 p.m. on Fox. It all comes down to Sunday the 19th: Spain, Argentina, World Cup Final. Spain is the favorite right now to win over Argentina. Spain's +130, Argentina's +225, and the draw is even favored higher than Argentina is to win. So, we'll see if that changes, but Spain the favorite as of right now. Host 2: So the difference, Cole—why some people might be saying, "Why are they playing a third-place game?" Well, money. Money is the reason why you play a third-place game. The winner gets $50 million and the World Cup trophy. Runner-up, $33 million and silver medals. Third place, $29 million and bronze medals. And fourth place, $27 million. Just $2 million difference between third and fourth place. Host 1: Not bad. Not bad. Uh, the Open Championship, day one in the books. Bryson DeChambeau, who hadn't made a cut, Diesel, since 1940—no, no, no, in his last three cuts—hey, he's had a pretty good day. Host 2: Cuts a steak, I'm sure. Host 1: Yeah, he does. Two shots back from the lead, 3-under. 3-under, I mean, look at that. Uh, so Bryson right back in the hunt. He couldn't do it on American soil. Host 2: We'll see if he can if he can put two rounds together, though. Host 1: Maybe that's why he's playing well. He's used to that LIV Golf overseas. Host 2: Yeah, foreign air. Used to foreign air. Host 1: U.S. soil, he hadn't been well. There there there's the reason right there. Simple as that. All-Star right-hander Chase Burns and the Cincinnati Reds are in agreement on a 7-year, $105 million contract extension. Burns is one of the best young pitchers in baseball: 11-1 with a 2.54 ERA, my gosh, and 118 strikeouts in 18 starts this season. Host 2: Yeah, lock him down, or the Dodgers will come a-calling, and they will throw billions at him and defer it for the next 40 years. Host 1: Rock Cjalowski has agreed to a contract with the Chicago White Sox that includes a record-breaking $10.35 million signing bonus after he was the number one pick in last weekend's amateur draft. Cjalowski's bonus tops the previous mark of $9.25 million for the amateur draft that belonged to the Reds pitcher Chase Burns and Rockies prospect Charlie Condon, two of the three selections in 2024. Host 2: And that right there is why Major League Baseball is proposing a rule that would send all players to college baseball, cuz they don't want to risk $10.35 million, which will keep going up over time, on a guy coming out of high school. Host 1: Yeah, you you would think so, right? You think that would keep going up. Virginia Tech's James Franklin hit the podium earlier today at the ACC Kickoff saying, "We won the off-season." Oh. Adding, "We've done things right." Uh, look, I like the confidence. He said there's a lot of excitement, there's a lot of momentum. After this, then we're getting stuff that matters, getting to the stuff that matters most: practice and winning games and having that stadium rocking. Look, winning ...
