You're gonna go down to your bookie
and lay 20 large on Texas.
Then you'll go home
put on your favorite Hawaiian shirt
and you'll sit back
twirl your little umbrella
after you've made that rum concoction
with the orange slice and the cherry
and you'll watch Texas
rip those Okies a new a**hole.
And after you win the 20 grand,
you're gonna call me back
and you're gonna tell me,
"Thank you, sir. May I have another?"
McNeil lost his dog last week

That is beautiful.

I want to be there the first time
to make sure the trainer understands
his aversion to consistency. Excuse me.
- Aversion to consistency?
- Mm-hm.
That's Walter. He's always been that way.
- Well that's consistent.
- Well that's true.
You are cute. Take a bite.

That's right and just think it over.
Don't decide now.
It's the only move.
If it means I've gotta act that's cool.
No. No acting. This is living.
You didn't hear me.
From here on out
Brandon Lang and his fettuccine knee
and his self-f***ing-pity
is as flat dead as Donald Trump's hair.
And John "I Can Walk On F***ing Water"
Anthony has taken his place.
Now listen
to what he's asking you Brandon.
I'm gonna build an empire around you.
It's gonna cost me.

- Hell yeah I understand.
I'm John f***ing Anthony.
I've got a crystal ball.
I am sitting on top of the world,
just rolling along

All right Jethro? Good luck to you.

Welcome to this week's Sports Advisors,
America's premier sports-information
program with myself Walter Abrams
to the Sports Advisorpanel.
I want you to meet him a substantial find
and his name is John Anthony.
OK we're entering week six
in professional football.
This is when the cream rises to the top.
This is when things get hot.
This is oven-mitt time. Am I right?
This is big-time ball season.
So let's get right into it with the wizard
of odds Jerry "The Source" Sykes. Jerry.
Stats records rankings weather
if the goalpost is tilted just a little bit...
The SYKES system
uses 42 proven indexes
to eliminate
the guesswork in sports wagering.
Without my patented
computer-based picks
you got a better shot of having God
show up at your door with nine strippers
a bag of pure Bolivian cocaine
enough Viagra
to make Chuck's head blow off
than picking these things on your own.
You call me absolutely free. I got five
picks this weekend that are incredible.
How many gamblers did I bail out
last weekend with my game of the year?
A 100-dollar bettor made $10000.
A 500-dollar bettor made $50000.
Well I got six games on Sunday
that I'm releasing absolutely free.
These games are a burial
You can bet your children's unborn
children's children on these six games
absolutely free!
Whoa whoa I believe I believe!
I believe you're trying to make me deaf.
I've never seen a color on a man like that.
Would you say that's chartreuse?
So Saturday comes before Sunday and
looking at Saturday's college match-ups
is the last but certainly not least
member of the sports advisors.
- And here he is Mr. John Anthony.
- Thank you Walter.
This is John Anthony the million-dollar
man with the billion-dollar plan.
Wall Street to Tokyo to Hollywood
all your big money
is gonna stay and play with me.
That's right. That's why
they call me the million-dollar man.
The million-dollar man the million-dollar
man the million-dollar man.
I can't say that man.
- Uh...
- No no.
Somebody wrote
some very clever stuff for me here
like the million-dollar man.
So let's just call me John.
I played quarterback division one.
