Hour number two of A Numbers Game at VSin, VsportsBettyNetwork, vsin.com, GamePlus, iHeartRadio, YouTube TV, SiriusXM, Channel 189, Gill Alexander, Kelley Bydlon. Hey, tonight, crack, by the way, on the show tomorrow, as per usual, Bill Krakenberger. Tonight, Bill Krakenberger and I, after dinner with Nifty, we're shedding Nifty and Willie. And we're going to the Mob Museum. You ready for this panel discussion at the Mob Museum tonight? You ready for this? Basketball Murder and the Mob.

It's about the unsolved hit on Vic Weiss, examining the 1979 murder of sports agent Vic Weiss and his connection to legendary UNLV basketball coach, Jerry Tarkanian. Oh! You know this story?

Kelley Bydlon (0:50)

Yes, I do. I do.

Gill Alexander (0:51)

Yeah, he was a close friend.

Kelley Bydlon (0:53)

I didn't remember the name. I was gonna ask you, is this the...

Gill Alexander (0:56)

He was a close friend of Tark. He was also his agent. And he was negotiating Tark's potential transition to coach the Lakers.

And he disappeared and was later found shot to death in the trunk of his Rolls Royce amid suspected mob ties and gambling debts. And what do you know? Tark stayed at UNLV, eventually leading their running Rebels to a national championship. I think Tark's son is gonna be there tonight.

Kelley Bydlon (1:17)

What a...

Gill Alexander (1:18)

There you go.

Kelley Bydlon (1:19)

Wasn't there... Where was the body found?

Gill Alexander (1:20)

You remember that?

Kelley Bydlon (1:21)

Wasn't it like a famous restaurant out here?

Gill Alexander (1:23)

No, they said in the trunk of the Rolls Royce.

Kelley Bydlon (1:25)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, but the car was...

Gill Alexander (1:27)

Oh, I don't know.

Kelley Bydlon (1:28)

Yeah, I'll have to look that part up.

Gill Alexander (1:29)

I don't know.

Kelley Bydlon (1:29)

Yeah, which one? No, that's great. What time is that at?

Gill Alexander (1:33)

It was during the game is the problem. Yeah, we're committed. We didn't think about it when we got the tickets.

Kelley Bydlon (1:39)

That place is cool, though.

Gill Alexander (1:40)

Yeah, no, it's totally cool. Very cool. We get to it.

Kelley Bydlon (1:42)

It's got a bar. If you like, you like your museums to come with bars.

Gill Alexander (1:47)

You thought he was interested in the history of the mob. No, he's got a bar downstairs.

Kelley Bydlon (1:50)

It's got a bar downstairs.

Gill Alexander (1:52)

Every museum should have that podiatron regarding Shohei. It's very simple. He gets paid more money than any baseball player to benefit the team. He knows whether or not he can go and be productive if he knows he can. If he knows he can and should tell the coach, bench me. I'm physically not able to help. It's simple.

Simple to the podiatr.

Kelley Bydlon (2:09)

I think that's probably how it's going, Gill. Like, but, you know, I the problem is, can you ever fully trust? Like, you want a player to have the competitive spirit that he's never going to say, take me out of a game. And the problem is, he might just get in his own way.

Gill Alexander (2:25)

Kevin Ryan, Gill, with respect to injuries and players playing or not and verbiage like, quote, he's trending in the right direction. Dr. Chow said on your network in 27 years in the NFL, I never once saw a true game time decision. It's just a weekly smoke screen. Richard Popliss, why does Sean McVeigh always get a pass? Claims defense played hard. The defense could not catch a cold. Where is the spy on Josh Allen? Now you're right about that, even though he's an offensive coach. Chance Copperpot, damn it, Gill, you just agreed with Will Hill. The Rays will make the World Series. Now they'll drop the next game at a minimum. It's right. I can't say anything out loud about the Guardians. Jamie Leyva, Dodgers fan here. Time to sit Otani and start to Paula. The kid looks like a vet at the dish. I agree with Will. Otani's bottom half is shot. It's all upper body hacks. Have a great day, gentlemen.

Let's see here. But we do.

Oh, Jason H. Levin says, I thought the same thing. Kiss of death. My brewers over raise. Exact as the series. Jeopardy. Nine times, Jeff Sasse says. Excellent Ferris Bueller reference for those that got it. And Jim Daltorio, great interview with Gina Gill, despite what crack and Gill say about being careful with young people gambling. I see Gina's son in 10 years wearing a baseball cap, crushing it at the blackjack table under Gina's tutelage. Good luck on the book, Gina. Looking forward to it. She got a lot of tweets yesterday from folks. OK, whip around time because we got to get to it.
