The second and final hour of tonight’s Sports Open Line is abridged due to KMOX’s broadcast of the Cardinals-Giants game. Matt Pauley features Brad Young’s interview with Denny Hoskins, Missouri Senate member in the 21st District, on how realistic legal sports betting in Missouri is. Brenden Schaeffer, Cardinals writer for KMOV, also joins the show to discuss the lack of identity on the team, the return of Paul DeJong, and whether the Cardinals’ “platoon”-like defense is a pro or a con.
