Speaker 1: sweat steam hot to death like Corey Stringer. Thanks. I
Speaker 1: haven't gotten a thank you for the new open Chris
Speaker 1: like it. Thank you so much. We get a little
Speaker 1: star in there as well, always doing it big things
Speaker 1: and check it out this hour. If you want to
Speaker 1: get at me you candidate four four eight four three
Speaker 1: six eight seven nine. We're gonna have some polls up
Speaker 1: on that f n T S Y Radio Twitter handle.
Speaker 1: Of course you could follow me at spitting speeds. I'm
Speaker 1: also joined in the cipher today with my boys sports
Speaker 1: with Z that corresponded on the Sports Guru app Let's
Speaker 1: Talk Sports. He's gonna join me to um preview the
Speaker 1: Texas Rangers a little bit later on as Speed Spotlight
Speaker 1: wraps up just in time for Opening Day. You also know, Chris,
Speaker 1: we have not talked about this big moves in the
Speaker 1: TV Greatest of All Time tournament. We'll talk about that
Speaker 1: a little bit later on, but we get it started
Speaker 1: as usual. Top five dead or alive here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. Give you a little news and notes here
Speaker 1: first in Major League Baseball, as you get into Opening Day,
Speaker 1: some of you guys may still not have drafted yet.
Speaker 1: Do not draft Drew Smiley, or at least drop him
Speaker 1: down your boards. He'll be out for the next six
Speaker 1: to eight weeks with a left flex or strain. Mariners
Speaker 1: GM Jerry to Poto says, uh, he didn't actually look
Speaker 1: the same After the World Baseball Classic. A number of
Speaker 1: people got hurt in the World Baseball Classic. As a
Speaker 1: Yankee fan, Deeed Gregorious was one of them as well.
Speaker 1: J D. Martinez finally is moved to the d L
Speaker 1: so if you have drafted him, you can finally move
Speaker 1: him to your d L spot, giving you that roster spot.
Speaker 1: He's got that Liz Frank Sparing. He's probably gonna be
Speaker 1: out until May. Ricky n Alasco has been named the
Speaker 1: opening day starter for the Los Angeles Angels. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, if Rickyn Alasko is your opening day starter,
Speaker 1: if he is your ace, you're gonna get stacked against
Speaker 1: in DFS coming up real soon. They're playing the Aids
Speaker 1: on opening Day. Maybe Chris Davis should be in your
Speaker 1: lineups there. Um. Bob Melvin actually says the Oakland A's
Speaker 1: may go closure by committee. If you remember, on yesterday's show,
Speaker 1: I had my boy Mike Repberg as a fantasy freestyle
Speaker 1: correspondent as we previewed the Oakland A's. He said that
Speaker 1: his best bet was gonna be on Ryan Madson and
Speaker 1: then maybe Doolittle. Don't sleep. It could also be Mr
Speaker 1: Cassilla over from the San Francisco Giants staying in the
Speaker 1: Bay Area. I will say this, though, one of those,
Speaker 1: probably two of those guys, will get traded in this
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball season. Okay, these guys all have experience,
Speaker 1: They also have John Oxford on that bullpen, who also
Speaker 1: has uh closer experience. So think about contending teams that
Speaker 1: might still be in the market. You know, the Nationals
Speaker 1: just announced their closer recently, and we'll we'll see about that.
Speaker 1: I think those guys could be on the move throughout
Speaker 1: the season. Matt Garza is going on to the d
Speaker 1: L for the Milwaukee Brewers with a strained right groin. Remember,
Speaker 1: interestingly enough, especially a few Fantasy Baseball players out there
Speaker 1: this year new changes to the collective bargaining agreement. Uh,
Speaker 1: the ten day del not the fifteen day del. Remember
Speaker 1: about that. But show Walter also now says that Chris
Speaker 1: Tillman he will make not one, not two, not three,
Speaker 1: but four rehab starts before rejoining the Baltimore Orioles. And
Speaker 1: in uh, you know, injury news that I'm personally happy
Speaker 1: about for a few reasons, because this guy was kind
Speaker 1: of a beast and then has been besieged by injuries
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and also because he was
Speaker 1: a spec a little late round drafte that I had
Speaker 1: in a draft. Earlier this week, Tito Francona confirming that
Speaker 1: Michael Brantley will be on the opening day roster for
Speaker 1: the a L defending champion Cleveland Indians. Those are things
Speaker 1: I like to see. News and notes also in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and I think it's interesting because, Um, yesterday, remember we
Speaker 1: had a poll question up which of these two guys
Speaker 1: will actually play five more years? Tom Brady or e
Speaker 1: g ro Suzuki, both of them saying they wanted to
Speaker 1: play five more years. That was our poll question yesterday.
Speaker 1: Today we get word Drew Brees says that he wants
Speaker 1: to play until he's forty five years old. Drew Brees
Speaker 1: is only thirty eight years old. I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: right now, I'm gonna tell you something though. These are
Speaker 1: the comments of a man who knows he's in the
Speaker 1: last year of his current deal and he's looking for
Speaker 1: a new deal. But we'll see if we could do it. Um.
Speaker 1: Also news out of Cleveland, they're saying that Corey Coleman,
Speaker 1: the first round draft pick last year, he would actually
Speaker 1: move to the slot if the NFL decides to re
Speaker 1: state Josh Gordon. Now, remember they signed Kenny Britt in
Speaker 1: the off season in free agency. That's an outside X
Speaker 1: kind of receiver. Josh Gordon is also an outside kind
Speaker 1: of receiver. This is only days after saying they think
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman is now like the man in Cleveland. I
Speaker 1: think this puts a severe damper. And we're hearing a
Speaker 1: lot about oh, maybe Josh Gordon will get reinstated. This
Speaker 1: is kind of a where there's smoke, there's fire. I
Speaker 1: would not be surprised if Josh Gordon actually does make
Speaker 1: his way back to the Cleveland Browns at some point.
Speaker 1: Another poll question we had earlier on in the week
Speaker 1: was this idea of who would you want as your
Speaker 1: backup quarterback? Would you want like r G three, J
Speaker 1: Cutler or this guy Colin Kaepernick. And at this point,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I think he's just blackballed from the league.
Speaker 1: Now there's news sources um gms and owners are potentially
Speaker 1: worried that he's a vegan. Come on now, come on now,
Speaker 1: and they accredited his weight loss last year to him
Speaker 1: being a vegan. I thought that was actually healthy. I
Speaker 1: actually thought it was a good thing. You know, like,
Speaker 1: isn't that basically what Tom Brady's wing? But when Tom
Speaker 1: Brady do it, does it it's because he could play
Speaker 1: until he's fifty, Because he's the Golden Boy with his
Speaker 1: inflated balls. But when Cap does it, you know, because
Speaker 1: he does it from a kneeling position, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: he can't, you know, find his way into the league.
Speaker 1: Gino Smith's got a job. Colin Kaepernick can't get a job.
Speaker 1: All right, whatever. You know, those are polls from previously
Speaker 1: in the week. My man Chris Bovona has put up
Speaker 1: the polls for today, and I'm gonna even bring in
Speaker 1: my man uh Sports with z from that sports Guru
Speaker 1: app because I know he's a basketball guy and I
Speaker 1: know we're gonna be talking about this. Here's the straight
Speaker 1: up question. Who is the NBA m v P. We've
Speaker 1: been talking about this all week because you know, Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook is going absolutely Banana's triple doubles. He's gonna average
Speaker 1: a triple double, fifty seven point triple double. But then
Speaker 1: you've got James Harden. Then you got James Harden who
Speaker 1: is leading the league and assist and it's also very
Speaker 1: close to a triple double. And to be quite honest,
Speaker 1: it depends on what you talk about in terms of value,
Speaker 1: because James Harden has been sick and it's perfect for that.
Speaker 1: Mike D'Antoni system that they're running down there, the perfect
Speaker 1: for the perfect pick and roll kind of player. I
Speaker 1: also have as options Lebron James because I mean every year,
Speaker 1: this is like when Michael Jordan's was in the league.
Speaker 1: Like he he was the best player every year. But
Speaker 1: you know they throw call Malone one, they throw a
Speaker 1: key malage on one, whatever the case. Maybe, um, you know,
Speaker 1: Lebron jameson is always be in the conversation. And that's
Speaker 1: my fourth. Um, don't sleep on Kawhi Leonard Kauahi Leonard,
Speaker 1: the two time defensive Player of the Year. This guy
Speaker 1: doing it on both ends for the San Antonio Spurs,
Speaker 1: the number two seed in the West. Before I go
Speaker 1: to the poll, let's bring him my man sports with
Speaker 1: z over here. Who's your NBA MVP at this point? See,
Speaker 1: it's always a tough decision with that when you have
Speaker 1: two players on the top of their game. Right now,
Speaker 1: Westbrooken hardness. In my opinion, I gotta go with Westbrook, right,
Speaker 1: you gotta go at Westbrook just too too hot for that.
Speaker 1: I think that thirteen and eleven he put in and overtime,
Speaker 1: I think that was like his drop the mic moment
Speaker 1: on it. But here's the thing. Here's the thing, just
Speaker 1: for just for context, right, And I love Russell Westbrook
Speaker 1: and all. I love that, but like he's just kind
Speaker 1: of just a one man show, and it's almost like
Speaker 1: the team is allowing him to do that, just like
Speaker 1: in pursuit of this Oscar Robinson not to check this
Speaker 1: out Alan Iverson, And I said this yesterday, Alan Iverson
Speaker 1: in the season where he had the most shots of
Speaker 1: his career. Alan Iverson in that season had nineteen hundred
Speaker 1: and forty shots and he played forty two minutes a
Speaker 1: game in that season. Russell Westbrook this year, while only
Speaker 1: playing thirty four minutes a game, has already more than
Speaker 1: that nine hundred and seventies seven shots. I mean, like
Speaker 1: the thing is like, yeah, I mean I love him
Speaker 1: and all, but we'll see right now, that poll is
Speaker 1: up there on that f N T S Y radio
Speaker 1: Twitter handle, and uh, Russell Westbrook right now is your
Speaker 1: choice as well if we look at it right now,
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook with six of the vote, Harden onlycent of
Speaker 1: the vote. I'm surprised by that. I thought it'd be
Speaker 1: a little bit closer. I thought it'd be a little
Speaker 1: bit closer, but we just put that poll up, so
Speaker 1: we'll keep track on that throughout the show. The other
Speaker 1: one I want to get into is, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: on my show on Monday coming up, we're gonna be
Speaker 1: right before the National Championship. As you know, we go
Speaker 1: into the final four this weekend down there in Phoenix. Um,
Speaker 1: what matchup in the final four will we be talking
Speaker 1: about as we reconvene here on Monday. Will it be
Speaker 1: Gonzagravis Oregon, Gonzagravis U n C. South Carolina versus Oregon,
Speaker 1: or a Battle of the Carolinas. I think this is
Speaker 1: very interesting. I'm thinking about what rundown I build regardless
Speaker 1: of it. You know, because at the beginning of this tournament,
Speaker 1: at the beginning of this tournament, you could go ahead
Speaker 1: and check the tape. I've been saying for a while
Speaker 1: that the best coast is the West Coast, and the
Speaker 1: best ball is being played out west. However, not the
Speaker 1: ball of Alonzo and LaVar and so being Gonzaga and
Speaker 1: Oregon could be very very interesting. I also think this
Speaker 1: Battle of Carolina could be very interesting. North and South Carolina. Um,
Speaker 1: what will they do in the bathrooms? If that's the
Speaker 1: just got changed, so maybe a will and facto there,
Speaker 1: But um, what do you think, what do you think
Speaker 1: is gonna happen in Final four this weekend? Well, I'm
Speaker 1: still on the bracket, hunt man. So you gotta ride
Speaker 1: with them. You gotta ride with them, and regardless of
Speaker 1: what you do in the bathrooms, whatever do in the bathrooms,
Speaker 1: and actually gonna lose. Okay, So you're looking for a
Speaker 1: Battle of Carolina, Battle of Carolina. All right, we shall see,
Speaker 1: but you can get at us right now if I
Speaker 1: check it on the pole right now. I gotta tell you, Um,
Speaker 1: most people think that it will be Gonzaga versus U
Speaker 1: n C. That's the chalk right, the one seeds making
Speaker 1: it there. Most people have Gonzaga advancing, and uh, most
Speaker 1: people think that you and see will move it on.
Speaker 1: Keep it moving though. Here Top five that are alive
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: I want to get into this a little bit. One
Speaker 1: of the things we've been talking about all week, and
Speaker 1: Chris Bavona, I'd love to get your thoughts because you
Speaker 1: were just in Las Vegas, right So we've been talking
Speaker 1: about this Raiders move. We've been talking about this Raiders
Speaker 1: move for a little bit, um and I have new
Speaker 1: information to bring to the to bring to the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle listeners. Chris yesterday. What we were talking about it
Speaker 1: is like, what do you do if you're an Oakland
Speaker 1: Raiders fan, If you're an Oakland Raiders fan, do you
Speaker 1: cheer for this team? Do you buy season tickets? You
Speaker 1: give them the money to support this team, because unlike
Speaker 1: the Rams and unlike the Chargers, this team is on
Speaker 1: the precipice of contending for a you know, an NFC championship,
Speaker 1: potentially Super Bowl, especially in the next two years, as
Speaker 1: Car moves on, as Mac moves on. You know. So
Speaker 1: if you're a Raiders fan in l A, do support
Speaker 1: the team? Do you protest? You know? That was the
Speaker 1: whole question we had. We've been talking about the Raiders
Speaker 1: for a lot this week and check this out new
Speaker 1: information I read UH and dead Spin the U The
Speaker 1: Raiders actually refinance their thing with Oakland Alameda Coliseum so
Speaker 1: many times, and they were gonna do the PSL That's
Speaker 1: how they're gonna pay for it. They didn't sell enough
Speaker 1: PSLs and with the interest, um, they were on the
Speaker 1: hook for three fifty million dollars, so they refinance their
Speaker 1: loans right for that that the taxpayers are having to pay,
Speaker 1: and now they have to pay this until two thousand
Speaker 1: and twenty five, regardless of if the Raiders are there
Speaker 1: or not, they have to pay. The taxpayers will now
Speaker 1: have to pay thirteen million dollars. The county has to
Speaker 1: make that up in tax money every year from now
Speaker 1: until two thou and regardless. So maybe if you was
Speaker 1: a Raiders fan that I was like, no, no, not, okay.
Speaker 1: I'll still go out and support the team. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: cheer for them. I'm gonna wax poetic and nostalgic about them.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna relish every opportunity I can. Does it change
Speaker 1: your mind knowing that your tax dollars are still going
Speaker 1: to repay the refinance bill for the Colisseum when it
Speaker 1: was originally done for Al Davis, and you're gonna be
Speaker 1: on the hook for that until two thousand and Chris,
Speaker 1: how does that make you feel? So? As a Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Raiders fan, excuse me because you said l A.
Speaker 1: That's actually where most of the Las Vegas fans are from.
Speaker 1: Most of the Vegas Raiders fans are from Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: They didn't want the Raiders in Los Angeles. They're like, no,
Speaker 1: we want a reason to go out to Vegas. So
Speaker 1: this is great. Like this from from a Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Raiders perspective, I think it's great. I think it's amazing
Speaker 1: for them. For the Oakland Raiders fans, I think that
Speaker 1: this is absolutely terrible. It's a very sad day for them.
Speaker 1: Not only that, if I was an Oakland Raiders fan,
Speaker 1: I would give up. I would give up team football
Speaker 1: and I just become a fantasy football fan. Interesting. Interesting,
Speaker 1: But check this out. Oakland doesn't want them either. Oakland
Speaker 1: doesn't want them there either. Check this out. I have
Speaker 1: quotes now from the executive director of what is known
Speaker 1: I didn't even know this existed, something called the Oakland
Speaker 1: Alameda County Coliseum Authority. These are the people that actually
Speaker 1: run the stadium and actually execute the lease that they have.
Speaker 1: The executive director, a guy named Scott McGibbon, says, I
Speaker 1: would say to you, with the highest level of confidence,
Speaker 1: my opinion and the recommendation of my board members, there's
Speaker 1: no way we have an appetite for the third season
Speaker 1: here in Oakland. That would be the two thousand nineteen
Speaker 1: season before they actually move. He goes on to say,
Speaker 1: He goes on to say, we have two more years
Speaker 1: of lease options right now, but it's actually financial to
Speaker 1: lead to our benefit if we didn't exercise the options,
Speaker 1: and and even if they didn't play here in two
Speaker 1: thousand seventeen or two thousand eighteen, they're trying to get
Speaker 1: out of the lease. They want no part of this
Speaker 1: because they don't want it's protesting outside. They don't want
Speaker 1: God forbid them to be even better and then walk away.
Speaker 1: You know this sort of thing. It's real bad. I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna wind up in San Antonio, to be
Speaker 1: quite honest, I think they're gonna wind up in San Antonio.
Speaker 1: Or I think they're gonna wind up playing a lot
Speaker 1: of games in Mexico City, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I can see that happening. To remember, the Saints want
Speaker 1: to Sat Antonio for a little while after the Katrina
Speaker 1: you know. So, I I don't think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a good scene down there in Oakland. I think it's
Speaker 1: really really bad. And I'll tell you what, um, Chris,
Speaker 1: you mentioned that Raiders fans, you know, to just become
Speaker 1: fantasy football fans instead, I think what they are gonna
Speaker 1: wind up doing. To be quite honest, I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna become Miami Dolphin fans. And here's why. Stephen Ross,
Speaker 1: the Dolphins owner, he was the only one that voted
Speaker 1: no on this move. Okay, Stephen Ross, it went thirty
Speaker 1: one to one. Stephen Ross is the only guy who
Speaker 1: said no. And and and you know why in my opinion,
Speaker 1: because Stephen Ross spent five hundred million dollars of his
Speaker 1: own money to renovate the Dolphins stadium. And now basically
Speaker 1: what Mark Davis is looking forward is that corporate welfare,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's either that or here's another idea,
Speaker 1: and I want to get your take on it. Mr
Speaker 1: Chris Bovona and my Man Sports with Z. Also, now,
Speaker 1: with the Raiders moving to Vegas, that means super Bowls
Speaker 1: will be played in Vegas. That means less Super Bowls
Speaker 1: will be played in Miami. That's money out of Steven
Speaker 1: Ross's pocket. So not only does he have less Super Bowls,
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, he had to put up five
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars to renovate his stadium. The Raiders, they
Speaker 1: just get to move somewhere else. And have the taxpayers
Speaker 1: pay for it. I understand. I think you should ride
Speaker 1: with the only owner who voted no, that would be
Speaker 1: Stephen Ross and the Miami Dolphins going over to Miami
Speaker 1: because it's the same kind of spirit down there in
Speaker 1: Miami too. What do you think? What do you think, Zach?
Speaker 1: And I think it's you know, I was talking to
Speaker 1: an Oakland Raiders fan actually a couple of days ago,
Speaker 1: and he was telling me, you know, He's like, I'm
Speaker 1: you know, I'm an Oakland Raiders fan. I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: a Raiders fan no matter what. But you know the
Speaker 1: way Miami handled you know, owners, I think owners should
Speaker 1: pay for their they Why are you giving the taxpayers that?
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous? For sure, for sure, I want to hear
Speaker 1: what you have to say. Give me a shout at
Speaker 1: eight four four A four three six eight seven nine

Speaker 1: feeling good about Texas after last year, mostly because he
Speaker 1: knocked out Joey Batts, right. I should have worn that tonight.
Speaker 1: Don't mess with Texas, right, all right? So check this out.
Speaker 1: I got a couple of guys, Zach, that I want
Speaker 1: to ask you about, and my man Zactly, that correspondent
Speaker 1: for the sports Guru app does some real good work. Um.
Speaker 1: The first guy I want to ask you about is
Speaker 1: the guy with the sick right cross, and that's Roof
Speaker 1: Middle Door. He just signed a six year, forty nine
Speaker 1: and I have million dollar deal. I have a lot
Speaker 1: of questions about this, what it means for the entire
Speaker 1: team and implications. But first of all, do you like
Speaker 1: that deal? Because I gotta tell you something. I am
Speaker 1: a little bit down on Roof Middle Door. How do
Speaker 1: you feel about old door? Down? As you know how
Speaker 1: I feel about Oh Man, he's gonna light it up
Speaker 1: next year, it's gonna be you think he's gonna light
Speaker 1: it up. I don't know. Amazing, he's amazing talent. My
Speaker 1: man is very volatile at the play. Twenty one point
Speaker 1: five percent strikeout rate. This is a guy who strikes
Speaker 1: out a lot, is very aggressive, does not walk three
Speaker 1: percent walk right. This guy is trying to hit bombs.
Speaker 1: He hit thirty three last year. Yeah, I mean, don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong, he does that. But I don't know
Speaker 1: what I hope for what a guy who's entering is
Speaker 1: what three season something like that. I hope I see
Speaker 1: better plate discipline out of this guy, And I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's going to be the case. You know,
Speaker 1: down there in Texas a free swinging club they are.
Speaker 1: That would be my concern that the thirty three home
Speaker 1: runs that he hit last year gets in his head
Speaker 1: kind of like Willie Mays, Hayes and Major League, and
Speaker 1: then he starts thinking he's a power hitter. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I like the door. I don't know. There's something about
Speaker 1: him that just sparks that team um on on the
Speaker 1: field and off the field. I think he's a leader,
Speaker 1: a proven leader, and I think he'll get he'll get
Speaker 1: even better as time goes by. I think Beltrey is
Speaker 1: helping that Withsten. So listen, maybe that means that no
Speaker 1: one needs a tough, rough, no doors head, because I
Speaker 1: know you can't touch you can't touch me, you can't
Speaker 1: truch belt Are you worried though, I'm a little worried
Speaker 1: about Beltrey too. I gotta tell you here's why. Listen.
Speaker 1: My man is turning thirty eight years old on April seven. Okay,
Speaker 1: my man already has a caffe injury. Barking at him like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's doing some light jogging. They're gonna see if he
Speaker 1: can get into a game. When you're gonna be thirty eight,
Speaker 1: you want to be a hundred percent going into the season.
Speaker 1: To have these nagging injuries, that doesn't cause you any concern.
Speaker 1: I mean it's rough. I mean he's get him there,
Speaker 1: you know, golden years. It's Karen playing third base. That's
Speaker 1: one of the probably the toughest positions in my opinion
Speaker 1: for baseball. I know people would fight me on that,
Speaker 1: but I think watching Beltrey, with the way he's been
Speaker 1: at third base the last couple of years, he's been
Speaker 1: lights out stop stop defense. But you know, he's fifty
Speaker 1: eight hits away from three thousand. That's a big deal.
Speaker 1: I think it's a big deal. And he's he's the
Speaker 1: leader of that team, and he's gonna fight through it.
Speaker 1: He fights through it, he plays two injuries. He's a
Speaker 1: tough guy and cas. You know, so you're not concerned.
Speaker 1: You're not concerned. You're not concerned about BELI. I told you,
Speaker 1: I told you you wanted to wear his Don't Mess
Speaker 1: with Texas shirt coming off the Fantasy freestyle in the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know, what about? Um, what
Speaker 1: about let's go to the arms here? I mean you,
Speaker 1: Darvish now yet another year removed from his U t
Speaker 1: J surgeries and Cole Hamil's. I would stack these guys
Speaker 1: one two up against any other rotation in the American League.
Speaker 1: That's not my issue. My question is what happens after that?
Speaker 1: You know what happens after Darvish? What happened after you
Speaker 1: know Cole Hamil's in Game three of the series, Because
Speaker 1: you know, I'm we're gonna get to it a little
Speaker 1: bit later. But I assume you project them to go
Speaker 1: to the playoffs again. I project him to win the
Speaker 1: West again. Okay, So if that's the case and they're
Speaker 1: gonna be and they're gonna be in a playoff series,
Speaker 1: who's starting Game three? What happens after? What happens after Hamiles?
Speaker 1: And you see, that's the problem I'm actually thinking about
Speaker 1: for the um for the regular season as it goes on,
Speaker 1: who they're going to pick up, because that's what the
Speaker 1: Rangers do is m during like the middle, like before
Speaker 1: trade deadline, they always try to pick somebody up, which
Speaker 1: they are fair enough, that could be the Jo Kintanas
Speaker 1: of the world that are out there and available. They
Speaker 1: got a couple of guys coming back. Also, Tyson Ross,
Speaker 1: that was an acquisition. How do you feel about that? Tyson?
Speaker 1: He's injury prone? So what's kind of a little scared
Speaker 1: of that, you know, that situation, you know, coming from
Speaker 1: San Diego and just to literally you know, they signed
Speaker 1: a one year deal on him. They'll see what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: But I don't think he comes back till March. They're
Speaker 1: talking like they're saying his injuries still a little injured.
Speaker 1: I thought, okay, okay, may probably gonna be made for
Speaker 1: Tyson Ross. Probably gonna be made for Tyson Ross. But
Speaker 1: what about these other guys. What what Andrew Cash and
Speaker 1: Colby lewis a j Griffin out of that group who
Speaker 1: fills out the back into this rotation. Well, Colby has
Speaker 1: always been that player. He's coming back. He had that
Speaker 1: he had that really bad. It was a neck injury
Speaker 1: or I'm not forget what it was exactly, but um,
Speaker 1: he came and he just came in and was the leader,
Speaker 1: that leader of that behind you know Hamill's and your
Speaker 1: Darvish and he's just been playing lights out. So he's
Speaker 1: pretty old as well. I mean this team is not
Speaker 1: on there an older team. Um, this coming from a
Speaker 1: guy who's saying he thinks they're gonna win the AL West.
Speaker 1: Then I asked about all these people, like I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit worried about this guy. I don't know what
Speaker 1: they're gonna do. They still need to make a move.
Speaker 1: So where are the bright spots? Then, well, the bright
Speaker 1: spots actually their bullpen is going to be lights out
Speaker 1: in my bush. And Dyson coming off his um, coming
Speaker 1: off his like, I mean, he looks great. And then
Speaker 1: the and he did look great in the BBC. I
Speaker 1: gotta caution though, for fantasy baseball players, you know, I
Speaker 1: talked about the different kinds of closures. To me, any
Speaker 1: closure that I'm gonna get needs to have over a
Speaker 1: strikeout per inning needs to have that quote unquote closure stuff.
Speaker 1: And Sam Dyson is not that guy. Last year only
Speaker 1: fifty five strikeouts in seventy innings. I'm looking for guys
Speaker 1: that I think can get over a k per inning.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you something about this. They brought in
Speaker 1: Napoli right obviously, and and he's got some real power.
Speaker 1: But if I'm a little bit down on old Door,
Speaker 1: if I'm a little bit down on Beltray, find they'll
Speaker 1: be Napoli. But where else is this gonna come? Where
Speaker 1: else is the production gonna come? Is Jonathan luke Roix
Speaker 1: with a full season down? There is guys like Nolan Mazzarro.
Speaker 1: Do you expect bounce back seasons at guys like Shinshu
Speaker 1: Chu or Carlos Gomez? Where who else is producing for
Speaker 1: this team? Who else do you think you can find
Speaker 1: a little bit later on in your drafts that might
Speaker 1: be a diamond in the rough? Well, I think, and
Speaker 1: they're talking to a lot about because we have jerks
Speaker 1: and profile still looks great in the WBC all the time. Also,
Speaker 1: but is there a home for him on this team? Well,
Speaker 1: they're talking to the first base would be a good
Speaker 1: place for him right now, because you know, it's just
Speaker 1: it just seems like he'll be I gotta teach him, obviously,
Speaker 1: and he's he doesn't he wants to play. He wants
Speaker 1: to play infield, and they're giving a lot of outfield stuff,
Speaker 1: and you know, I think he's gonna be first base
Speaker 1: though in my opinion, we'll see other rest of season
Speaker 1: goes all right, fair enough, so Vegas. Vegas has the
Speaker 1: Texas Rangers over under for the season at eighty six
Speaker 1: and a half wins. Judging off what I'm hearing out
Speaker 1: of you, Zach, You're gonna take the over because what
Speaker 1: we hear do on the Fantasy Freestyle speeds has been
Speaker 1: statistic and we help you win your leagues and win
Speaker 1: that cash. So there's a lot on the line here,
Speaker 1: is that. Uh, he's taking the over under on the
Speaker 1: season win total for the Texas Rangers over that. You
Speaker 1: gotta take the over on that if he thinks he's
Speaker 1: winning the a l West. Um, I gotta tell you something.
Speaker 1: I have the Texas Rangers in the playoffs, but I
Speaker 1: do not have them winning the A L West that on,
Speaker 1: or I believe it goes to the Houston Astros. I'm
Speaker 1: big on Houston Sports Illustrated has them winning the World
Speaker 1: Series in two thousand and seventeen. That's what they said
Speaker 1: three years ago. Let's move on, though, because this is
Speaker 1: our last, our last, you know, speed Spotlight. As we
Speaker 1: get ready for opening Day here in the Major League
Speaker 1: Baseball season on Sunday, I want to give out our
Speaker 1: big predictions. You know, Speeds has been telling you the
Speaker 1: over unders to take the big ones. You know, I
Speaker 1: like the Rockies over. I like the White Sox under
Speaker 1: in a big way. Um. I like the Pirates over.
Speaker 1: I've been giving them out at Speed Spotlight. But um,
Speaker 1: let's go to how you really make that cash when
Speaker 1: you pick the n L N l c S, A
Speaker 1: l c S and then the World Series. You could
Speaker 1: got a lot of futures odds out there right now.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you my NLCS right now, and then
Speaker 1: I want to hear from you, Zach. I like the
Speaker 1: Washington Nationals. I like the Washington Nationals. I like the
Speaker 1: Washington Nationals in a surprise because I you know, listen,
Speaker 1: the Cubs look like on paper a great team, but
Speaker 1: for some reason, you know, I just I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: fade them. I'm just gonna be fading. I'm gonna be fading,
Speaker 1: just so you know, I'm gonna be fading both of
Speaker 1: last year's World Series participants. Um, I like them. I
Speaker 1: think they're great teams, but I'm just fading them. I'm
Speaker 1: taking the Washington Nationals and I actually think, um, I
Speaker 1: actually it's it's not an even number year, but San
Speaker 1: Francisco Giants this year. I think bum Gardner and Quato
Speaker 1: in the same mold as what we just talked about
Speaker 1: with you, Darvish and uh Cole Hamils. I think that's
Speaker 1: a good squad. And at the professional team, I like
Speaker 1: with how they've organized. I think we're gonna get bounced
Speaker 1: back in full seasons out of Hunter Pence. Um So
Speaker 1: I like the Washington Nationals over the San Francisco Giants
Speaker 1: in the n l c S. What do you like
Speaker 1: in the National League? See, I'm I'm actually rooting for
Speaker 1: the Nationals and that's gonna be a very good choice. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm with these two, you know, one to punch.
Speaker 1: Just that's the way we're looking at it and I think,
Speaker 1: I know you. That's a safe that's a safe bet.
Speaker 1: I like that too. I also believe the Pirates can
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. I like the Mets in the playoffs
Speaker 1: as the two wild cards in the A L. In
Speaker 1: the A L. Remember, I like the Houston Astros. I
Speaker 1: like the Houston Astros. Um. I like the Houston Astros
Speaker 1: to make the World Series. I'm gonna go hard on them.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go hard on them. I think I think
Speaker 1: we're gonna see craziness out of Carlos Correa and Jose To.
Speaker 1: I think both of them get better. A few weeks ago,
Speaker 1: you're on Fantasy Freestyle. You heard spitting statistician talking about
Speaker 1: how important of the move it was for Carlos Beltrand
Speaker 1: to go back to the Houston Astros and mentor some
Speaker 1: of these young kids. I think that's gonna be a
Speaker 1: big step. He was talking about working with some of
Speaker 1: these kids. He was talking about, UM, the steppy thing,
Speaker 1: UM Korea is gonna take. He's talking about how hungry
Speaker 1: Alto is to get even better. I think this is
Speaker 1: the year George Springer puts it together. I think you're
Speaker 1: getting gonna get power in the middle of the lineup
Speaker 1: with guys like Beltray and guys like Gaddis and McCann.
Speaker 1: I don't like their starting rotation as much, but I
Speaker 1: do think they're gonna be the team that goes out
Speaker 1: and gets whoever the top starter is on the market
Speaker 1: in July. Okay, I like and I like to back
Speaker 1: in the open. I like the Houston Astros. I like
Speaker 1: the Houston Astros to beat the Cleveland Indians in the
Speaker 1: a LC. Yes, I think the Cleveland Indians are a
Speaker 1: great team. I'm fading the Boston Red Sox. I think
Speaker 1: that's unraveling. I think David Price is hurt. I think
Speaker 1: Chris Sale has an adjustment period. I think Rick Porcello
Speaker 1: is fool gazzy. I think people believe in Andrew ben
Speaker 1: Attend a little bit too much. I am he's a
Speaker 1: He's a fool gazy Chris, He's a fool gazzo gaz
Speaker 1: What what is gaza means phony? That's right, He's a
Speaker 1: fool gaze. And in the World Series you have the
Speaker 1: Washington Nationals winning it over the Houston Astros. How do
Speaker 1: you like that? Well, as we know, the Texas Rangers
Speaker 1: beat them fifty fifteen and four last season. So I'm
Speaker 1: not going in Houston to win the World Series at all,
Speaker 1: because that's how I am in Texas. We don't root
Speaker 1: against the other team. We don't root for the other teams. Um.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go Cleveland, and I'm gonna go um
Speaker 1: oh god, I'm gonna go Boston. I'm gonna Boston to
Speaker 1: take Cleveland. Tho, I'm gonna got in the World Series,
Speaker 1: all right. So you got Boston in the World Series
Speaker 1: with the Washington Nationals, who you like winning it all
Speaker 1: in October. They just going on record here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. Oh man, that's gonna hurt, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna go to the the Nationals. We like that.
Speaker 1: We both like the Washington Nationals. You heard it here
Speaker 1: First Sports with z Speeds, the spitting statistician here on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle. When we come back, we're gonna turn
Speaker 1: our attention. We're gonna turn our attention to another tournament.
Speaker 1: I know March Madness is popping off. We're gonna turn
Speaker 1: our attention to the TV Greatest of all Time tournament.

Speaker 1: went from sixteen down to eight this week without you,
Speaker 1: and we got some big, big ups. That's big matchups
Speaker 1: that happened. So let me recap it with you, because
Speaker 1: I know you love this tournament almost more than almost
Speaker 1: more than I know I know, and I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: I don't even care about the nam exactly. This is
Speaker 1: the final four you need to worry about. On on Monday,
Speaker 1: we started off in the sitcom region. Bro. We started
Speaker 1: off in the shitcarm region where we had the number
Speaker 1: one Seinfeld against the number five seed, curb your enthusiasm,
Speaker 1: and then number three seat Cheers against the number two seeds.
Speaker 1: The office and the chalk maintained, and in one seed
Speaker 1: Seinfeld and two seeds the office moved on. And you're
Speaker 1: gonna hear a theme here because remember Chris, how everybody
Speaker 1: was trolling me about the seating. Yeah, I'm yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so the number so remember one in the number two
Speaker 1: seeds moved on, So someone seeded that region correctly. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's move on number. Then on Tuesday we did the
Speaker 1: animated region. What we had in the animated region was
Speaker 1: the number one seeds Simpsons against the Cinderella thirteen seated
Speaker 1: Looney Tunes. And then we had the two seeds south
Speaker 1: Park against the sixth seed Beavis and butt Head. And
Speaker 1: guess what the chalk held true? And it was number
Speaker 1: one seeds since the number two seeds Southwark, someone seeded
Speaker 1: that region, right, But Chris, I wasn't here last week,
Speaker 1: and I think we had our very own Scott Angle
Speaker 1: previewing one of these matchups when Beavis and Button Actually
Speaker 1: he did too, Oh he did. Can I hear he did?
Speaker 1: The Beavis and butt Head versus Themuppet show? You know
Speaker 1: how about turning out to be very very close? Right? Yes,
Speaker 1: it was one of the It was one of the
Speaker 1: closest matchups of the of the tournament. Before I get
Speaker 1: to the Beavis and butt Head promo, which is hysterical, Uh,
Speaker 1: this one's a little bit shorter. This was the Seinfeld promo.
Speaker 1: He did. Oh what they do? Okay? When what SEI
Speaker 1: felt was up against curby enthusiasm or a well, good times,
Speaker 1: I think it was up against good time. How did
Speaker 1: that worked out? Yeah, let's hear that. I don't understand. Boy,
Speaker 1: they call it good times. The poor they live in
Speaker 1: the projects, they have no money, and the father died.
Speaker 1: How of these good time? Damn da damn, that's good stuff.
Speaker 1: That's good stuff. Out of my boy. The King's Scott
Speaker 1: Angle um and Seinfeld is still live. Seinfeld is still
Speaker 1: live in the U sitcom region. Now, I know he
Speaker 1: did something really that I wanted to hear from Beefs
Speaker 1: and Buttead on The Muppet Show, and Beevis and butt
Speaker 1: Head wound up winning that matchup, but only fifty one
Speaker 1: squeaked by. So maybe this, maybe this little intro had
Speaker 1: had something to do with it. Huh, I think it did.
Speaker 1: And uh let's check it out. Okay, whoa they have us?
Speaker 1: We're gonna like bey in the Sweet sixteen or something?
Speaker 1: Is it not like a chick party? No, dumbass. Those
Speaker 1: were like for the shot callers and stuff ballers. Shot

Speaker 1: did the Reality Bracket and it was um the amazing
Speaker 1: race versus Real World road rules and the Jersey Shore
Speaker 1: against cops and bigges. Shout out against my homegirl Arellan
Speaker 1: from the Las Vegas season of the Real World. She
Speaker 1: came on the show represented Real World Las Vegas through
Speaker 1: some shade at Tyra Banks and also gave props to
Speaker 1: the miss who is uh, you know, doing big things
Speaker 1: at WrestleMania, and it was Real World that's moving on.
Speaker 1: It's up against cops and you know, Chris Cops has
Speaker 1: had an incredible run in this entire tournament. Right they
Speaker 1: did beat Wait did you said right? They did beat
Speaker 1: Jersey Shore? Right? Cops beat Jersey Shore? Yeah, our regional
Speaker 1: final in the reality is cops versus real world. Dane,
Speaker 1: you don't understand how many people I've been talking to
Speaker 1: about this tournament and telling them that, like I, that
Speaker 1: Jersey Shore has been on sort of a crazy run.
Speaker 1: It's been a Cinderella. It was the lowest. It was
Speaker 1: the lowest seed. Yeah, people were People were like coming
Speaker 1: up to me like, dude, what's wrong with people voting
Speaker 1: for this? Well, that's what I feel about cops still
Speaker 1: being around, you know. But that was the other thing too.
Speaker 1: Everyone was like, yo, cops should have been like the
Speaker 1: number one seed. Wow, wow, Well, I mean, you know, listen,
Speaker 1: I was a great seeding committee with Sitcom's and Animated,
Speaker 1: but here was the five and the seven that make
Speaker 1: it out. And then listen that drama region, that drama
Speaker 1: region was stacked. I was hearing from Mike Blewett, I
Speaker 1: was hearing from Benny Riccardi. Everybody thought that these uh,
Speaker 1: these dramas basically should have been the final four themselves.
Speaker 1: What we had yesterday and yesterday's vote, it was big time.
Speaker 1: We had The Wire versus Sopranos, and then we also
Speaker 1: had Breaking Bad against Game of Thrones and that was
Speaker 1: real big, That was real. That's what people are saying.
Speaker 1: But people then don't clearly understand that we have regions
Speaker 1: by genre. So you know, people, controllers are gonna troll
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do. But um, moving on was Tony
Speaker 1: Soprano and moving on was Walter White. Wow. And so
Speaker 1: we have the two Seed breaking Bad after fifty of
Speaker 1: the vote beating Game of Thrones and the Sopranos moving
Speaker 1: on with fifty eight percent of the vote over Stringer
Speaker 1: bell Omar and Bubbles and the whole crew Avon Barksdale
Speaker 1: and them. You know, my my favorite show of all
Speaker 1: time is The Wire. But they got knocked out. So
Speaker 1: now we have the Elite eight and I sent out
Speaker 1: the brackets. I sent out the brackets. You can find
Speaker 1: that at spitting Speeds on Twitter. Uh. So, let me know,
Speaker 1: who do you think? Who do you think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be our final four here? Guys? Uh, Chris, who do
Speaker 1: you think comes out of this? Who do you think
Speaker 1: has legs to maybe take it down? Okay? Through from
Speaker 1: the drama. I mean, this is so right now. That's
Speaker 1: when it because, like you know, I'm Italian and I'm
Speaker 1: from Jersey, so you know, I listen. I'm always I'm
Speaker 1: always about waking up this morning and get myself a gun.
Speaker 1: That being said, I know who I'm voting for. I
Speaker 1: don't mind telling people who I'm voting for, who I
Speaker 1: want to win, and who I think is going to win.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be breaking back from the drama Cops,
Speaker 1: is gonna be from uh from what was the animated
Speaker 1: It's the Simpsons and South Park and South Park. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna big south Park because the Simpsons have
Speaker 1: just been skeeting by the Simpsons just beat Family Guy.
Speaker 1: But with the Simpsons just got by Looney Tunes, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, South Park has been rolling and then so
Speaker 1: you got you have you. I agree with you breaking
Speaker 1: bad Cops South Park? And then what seinfeld to the Office.
Speaker 1: I think Seinfeldt is gonna actually, I actually I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1: I'm I got a little bit of a Cinderella story
Speaker 1: with the Office. It's a two seed Cinderella, but somebody
Speaker 1: that will take down a number one seed that's supposed
Speaker 1: to be a dominant number woman seed in Seinfeld, I
Speaker 1: think that we're gonna find out. We're gonna find out, Okay,
Speaker 1: and that's I'm going with the office, alright, all right,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with Seinfeld. We're gonna have to
Speaker 1: see I think so. I think you're right, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pick that. I'm gonna play Devil's advocate and I'm
Speaker 1: going to fair enough, fair enough. So what we're gonna
Speaker 1: do here is we're gonna let it breathe for a
Speaker 1: little while. On Monday, we're gonna do our We're gonna

Speaker 1: of fun with this. Forget about the final four that
Speaker 1: you need to watch in Phoenix. The real final four
Speaker 1: happens on this Google document that I've got staring at
Speaker 1: me right in front of my face. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about it a little bit more on Monday, where we
Speaker 1: actually have these regional finals. When we come back, we're
Speaker 1: gonna put the fun in functional sports radio. We're talking
Speaker 1: a little bit of Levan bell, a little bit of
Speaker 1: Martelliz Bennett. The San Francisco Giants are doing some real
Speaker 1: crazy things, and you would never guess who Atlanta Falcons
Speaker 1: head coach Dan Quinn is going to for advice, all
Speaker 1: that and more. I'm mean, boy, Dame Martinez speeds and
Speaker 1: spitting statistician. You're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle and
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know what it is.
Speaker 1: This is your boy, Dame Martinez speeds and spitting statistician.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network. I got my boy Chris Pavona with me
Speaker 1: helping us blow up like a Samsung seventies back he
Speaker 1: was in Las Vegas. We've had a lot of talk
Speaker 1: about Las Vegas on the show this week between the
Speaker 1: Raiders move. Shout out to my homegirl Arilon, who came
Speaker 1: on the show. We're pretending so we're gonna be talking
Speaker 1: about Vegas real quick. Um check this out, Chris aligned
Speaker 1: to this Raiders move. You know, here in our last
Speaker 1: segment here on the Fantasy Freestyle, we put the fun
Speaker 1: in functional Sports Radio. And you know, Carillon, when she
Speaker 1: was on this week, said that she was not confident
Speaker 1: that the Raiders would be able to, you know, perform
Speaker 1: because of all the distractions out there, and I think
Speaker 1: the distractions are growing. Check this out, Chris, Um Dennis Hoff,
Speaker 1: who is the owner of the Bunny Ranch, the brothel
Speaker 1: that was featured in HBO Cothouse. He is going to
Speaker 1: open another brothel right outside of Vegas in the year
Speaker 1: coincide with the Raiders. He's calling it Pirates Booty. And uh,
Speaker 1: all the Raiders and anybody team employees, anybody will have
Speaker 1: a fifty discount at Pirates Booty. Um. Do you think
Speaker 1: that's gonna make it easier or harder on those one
Speaker 1: o'clock kickoffs? Chris Um. I guess you'd have to ask
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor about that. That's true. That's true. He was known.
Speaker 1: He was known for trying to tire out his opponents
Speaker 1: in that kind of way the night before the game. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: here's what I want to wander. Here's what I wondered though.
Speaker 1: In the NHL, the Las Vegas Golden Knights are set
Speaker 1: to start this upcoming season in the two thousand seventeen
Speaker 1: two eighteen season, nobody's building a brothel for them, you know, like,
Speaker 1: what's going on year? Well, only the Raiders get a brothel, Zach?
Speaker 1: What what? What? What is this? What is this? Um?
Speaker 1: You know, prejudice only for the NFL. Why can't the
Speaker 1: NHL teams get a little love. There's no love for
Speaker 1: hockey anymore. Man. It's like, that's give him the brothel,
Speaker 1: like the never was, never was the love for the hockey.
Speaker 1: And it's it's just funny too, this love for this
Speaker 1: Raiders thing. It's like he's making a brothel for you,
Speaker 1: is he is? Absolutely so. I think it's gonna do well.
Speaker 1: Remember listening. I also think remember the Raiders in the
Speaker 1: a f C West. Las Vegas is actually perfectly positioned
Speaker 1: between Denver, Kansas City, l A. There's gonna be a
Speaker 1: lot of road fans. I'm telling you, I'm a Jets fan.
Speaker 1: If the Jets are out there playing Vegas on the road,
Speaker 1: I think that's a great weekend. It would be a
Speaker 1: great trip. You know. I know, Zach, you're a big
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan playing Dallas. Oh yeah. Hey. Chris Bavona, one
Speaker 1: of the things we've been talking about all the time
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Free Style, which a boy speak.
Speaker 1: He's been in statistician on the award winning Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network. We have been following Levy on Bell. We've
Speaker 1: been following Levy on Bell's rap career. We've been following
Speaker 1: him when he did that song Focus. We so we
Speaker 1: we played a little bit when he went hard after
Speaker 1: Skip Bayliss. We even followed Levy on Bell as you
Speaker 1: know he's going to Ava Tarantino's prom because she got
Speaker 1: that six hundred retweets. But Levian Bell dropped another track
Speaker 1: from his post interview album, which, unbelievably, if you ask me,
Speaker 1: is in the top ten on the iTunes store right now. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's play a little bit of his new track and
Speaker 1: then dissect that a little bit here as we put
Speaker 1: the fun and functional sports radio on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: This is called machine. Uh laid on me, Chris. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going out to day. I'm going out today. I
Speaker 1: ain't got a doubt to day. The Moneys propped the
Speaker 1: day and I'm out like I'm run a ross to day.
Speaker 1: I ain't got no comp to day. I stopped to day.
Speaker 1: I made the money compensate because like girl to stay,
Speaker 1: I don't need to contemplate. Let my crow shot to day.
Speaker 1: She ain't got to stop to day because my pets
Speaker 1: been getting out of shape of maybe a lot to day.
Speaker 1: If I can do that anymore, How do you feel
Speaker 1: about that? What's a what's Portunately, you gotta you gotta
Speaker 1: review of that. Um, I'm not going out to day
Speaker 1: to download that song. I'm not going out to day
Speaker 1: to download that song to one thumbdown, one thumbdown. I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you something. I mean, listen, whether it's okay
Speaker 1: or not. Here's my bigger question, Levan, what are you doing? Bro?
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Man? Listen? I respect your creativity,
Speaker 1: I understand this, but remember last year you were suspended
Speaker 1: because of smoking weed. Two years ago, you missed the
Speaker 1: beginning because of your a c L Right, Like, what
Speaker 1: are you doing that? You just had groin surgery on March?
Speaker 1: You had groin surgery less than three weeks ago. Levi on,
Speaker 1: I think the priority needs to be instead of bouncing
Speaker 1: around in your video, I think your priority needs to
Speaker 1: be a little physical therapy for the Steeler Nation and
Speaker 1: from my damn fantasy team. Okay, I have you in
Speaker 1: a keeper league. Ue. I'm only spending a third round
Speaker 1: pick for you in my keeper league this year. I
Speaker 1: want to make sure that that's good value. I know
Speaker 1: it's gonna be, but not if you're on the shelf
Speaker 1: with a suspension. Not if you're on the shelf with
Speaker 1: this groin injury, Chris, like, is he like he's basically
Speaker 1: admitting suspension worthy behavior in this album? Left and right?
Speaker 1: I would think, right, Chris. The funny thing that the
Speaker 1: only thing I can think about is how much I
Speaker 1: hate trap music. Okay, yeah, that is like I know
Speaker 1: Corey Parson is a big fan of co Parson. I
Speaker 1: think it is so terrible. Okay, you don't like that
Speaker 1: purple drank, you don't like go into the trap house.
Speaker 1: I think it's awful. Okay, let's contrast this. Well, let's
Speaker 1: contrast this then, Chris, because like Ayon Bell is not
Speaker 1: the only Nope Pro Bowl football player to drop some
Speaker 1: tracks this week. The Black Unicorn martell Is Bennett The
Speaker 1: Black Unicorn martelli Is Bennett has also dropped and the
Speaker 1: five track EP entitled I'm not a rapper, but some
Speaker 1: of my friends are. Chris, I know you decided you
Speaker 1: were going to play a track at random for us
Speaker 1: to dissect and compare against Juice levy On Bell. Lay
Speaker 1: it on me, Chris here, and that's what we do,
Speaker 1: fantasy freestyle, Baby, lay it on me, crazy crazy? What up?
Speaker 1: Dukes Up, Step step Down, Thesaurs and Dyna mine, it's
Speaker 1: a new world. I'll get ready for a revolution. Staurs
Speaker 1: and Dyna mine, it's a new world. I'll be ready
Speaker 1: for a revolution. You better run, you can, you better rock.
Speaker 1: It's a new world. I'll be ready for a revolution
Speaker 1: down Stas and Dyna mine, it's the new world. It's
Speaker 1: the new world. I made a hunted ground, spent that
Speaker 1: made it back again. I'm a munster, I'm not a man.
Speaker 1: Scals on, scales out the side of my head, not
Speaker 1: huntred seven eighty four point seven four ground. That's a
Speaker 1: ton of way to be breaking down, Burton, calculate the math.
Speaker 1: Yeah you want that, DNDST. Most of my friends are famous,
Speaker 1: So tell me what you think that makes me. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I've had enough of this. Chris Bovita, we
Speaker 1: get with Chrispy Bona. We can take this off. M
Speaker 1: it sounded Chris. I don't know what's your review here.
Speaker 1: I think it sounded like more similar trap music. Levy
Speaker 1: on Belbar tell Us Bennett, what kindred spirits in there?
Speaker 1: And there are genres of choice. He kind of sounds
Speaker 1: a little more like he's trying to be t pain,
Speaker 1: t pain. You think you think, you think that's auto
Speaker 1: tune right there. Oh, it has to be not necessarily.
Speaker 1: Don't think that like legitimate black unicorn right there, listen.
Speaker 1: I think he needs me to be his producer. Okay,
Speaker 1: I can make I can make him and left Bell
Speaker 1: sound spend times better, Yo, you may the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: open sound like fire. You always put those beats on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle. Yo. You keep it hot at a
Speaker 1: death like Corey Stringer. I got what I got a
Speaker 1: couple more minutes though, Chris. One thing I wanted to
Speaker 1: talk to the listeners here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Dan Quinn,
Speaker 1: head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, as you know, they
Speaker 1: blew that lead in the Super Bowl, reports now that
Speaker 1: he actually has gone to Terry Francona and Steve Kerr
Speaker 1: for advice on how to cope with blowing huge championship
Speaker 1: wins or leads. Okay, um, he actually asked them. I
Speaker 1: gotta I find this interesting, because dan Quinn, what you
Speaker 1: just needed to do is run the ball. And if
Speaker 1: you run the ball in uh, if you run while
Speaker 1: you're up big in baseball, it's kind of you know, unethical,
Speaker 1: you know, And if you run in basketball, they might
Speaker 1: call traveling against you. So I don't think I don't
Speaker 1: think these guys were gonna give you the right philosophy
Speaker 1: of what you should have done. You should have just
Speaker 1: run the ball. Okay, run the ball. That's what you
Speaker 1: should have done. But here's the thing. What advice can
Speaker 1: they really give you? You know what I'm saying. The
Speaker 1: Indians and Terry Francona, they have not played a game yet,
Speaker 1: you know, they have not actually come back to action.
Speaker 1: And Steve Kerr, I mean he got Kevin Durant, you know,
Speaker 1: so what so what does dan Quinn do? I know
Speaker 1: the way to cope? Dan Quinn, go ahead and get
Speaker 1: Olddell Beckham and J. J. Watt what I mean, That's
Speaker 1: what Steve car is gonna tell him. Um, what do
Speaker 1: you think? Do you think this helps at all? Chris?
Speaker 1: Do you think there's any crossover here with one coach
Speaker 1: uh that came back from three or gave away three,
Speaker 1: one leads giving advice to another coach that blew a
Speaker 1: huge football league. Listen, it's gotta start somewhere. It's gonna
Speaker 1: start with dan Quinn. He's got to be the one
Speaker 1: that's gonna build, rebuild the confidence of the Falcons, especially
Speaker 1: the one game. You sound like you're real excited about
Speaker 1: the Falcons. I'm not excited about the Falcons, but there's
Speaker 1: no reason why they can't get back to the super
Speaker 1: Bowl next year. There is no reason, because I really
Speaker 1: haven't seen many of the teams. Maybe other than even
Speaker 1: I mean like maybe the Giants, maybe the Eagles, maybe
Speaker 1: the Maybe the NFC East can be one of the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl teams this year. Maybe other than that, I
Speaker 1: really can't see anybody else other than the Falcons, no doubt,
Speaker 1: no doubt. Let me tell you something. I think if
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn really wants to get advice, he should not
Speaker 1: go to Steve Kerr. He should not go to Terry Francota.
Speaker 1: If he wants to know what to do how to
Speaker 1: cope after losing a huge lead, he should talk to
Speaker 1: Hillardam Clinton. I'm your boy Speeds, the spitting statistician. You're
Speaker 1: listening to the fantasy freestyle from my Boy Sports with
Speaker 1: z on that sports Guru app from a man Chris Bavona.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy to have you back. We're gonna be
Speaker 1: doing a lot of things with that TV tournament and
Speaker 1: opening Day next week. When we started on the Fantasy Freestyle.

Speaker 1: Looking at the slate moving forward, a lot of good
Speaker 1: things as we officially get to the baseball season. I
Speaker 1: am ready give me some cracker jacks. I don't care
