Whose Car We Gonna Take?

One Big (Trust) Thing

Are we in the trust tree together?

Like if I told you… that I picked Aaron Rodgers over Jayden Daniels last year as my fantasy QB?

Would you judge me? Woulddyou tell your friends? Would you tweet at me calling me mean names?

Well, you can’t, because I didn’t actually do that, and you can’t judge me. I drafted Jayden Daniels in all three fantasy leagues and went to three fantasy championships. They call me The Oracle… get at me.

Back to the program….

Who’s in your tree?

Stop reading for un momento and we’re going to a similar writing exercise to last week’s Diary.

Take out a pen and write down the 3-5 people in your life that come to your mind that you could trust your life with.

Maybe it’s your mom or dad, girlfriend, trusted gambling partner, dude you see every single Saturday afternoon crushing a Guinness at the local pub that you’ve had too many conversations with.

Whoever the hell it is, prioritize those people. Foster those relationships.

These people will always be there for you, AND THAT’S IMPORTANT!

Remember this scene in The Town? (If you haven’t seen this movie before, just unsubscribe. I’m not sure we see eye-to-eye.)

You need to find the Jeremy Renner to your Ben Affleck.

These are your foxhole friends.

The ones you call when sh*t hits the fan or when you just crushed a major win and need someone to scream with on FaceTime.

Life’s better when you’ve got a tight tree. Don’t worry about the size - this isn’t LinkedIn networking. This is real, ride-or-die stuff. The Day 1 homies.

So yeah… check your tree. Water it. Trim the branches if you need to.

And if you're still looking for your Jeremy Renner? Just make sure they don’t think The Town is overrated. Immediate red flag.

Favorite Thing(s) I Saw on the Internet This Week

1. Alex Ovechkin broke Wayne Gretzky all-time NHL goals record on his signature shot. Look at his celebration post-goal vs. LeBron James when he broke the NBA points record…

2. I don’t care that Houston lost the Finals, this video of them at practice is beautiful. I said it all tournament… they play basketball like a football and it’s amazing to watch:

That is how LeBron and the rest of the NBA should play. I’d put every player on Houston in my trust tree.

The Polls

💰 Betting Corner

I had quite March Madness. My bracket pick and DraftKings future bet of Florida won it all. I came out of March profitable, not sure many people can say the same.

We move onto The Masters. And I ask, is this the best stretch of sports on the calendar?

Lock of the week: Max Homa to make the cut at The Masters +100

At this point, you should consider me you trusted gambling partner.

Happy Master’s Week. Today is the Par 3 contest and honestly one of my favorite days to watch on TV.
