He's gonna join me to um preview the 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.440 Texas Rangers a little bit later on as Speed Spotlight 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:31.560 wraps up just in time for Opening Day. You also know, Chris, 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.679 we have not talked about this big moves in the 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.240 TV Greatest of All Time tournament. We'll talk about that 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.200 a little bit later on, but we get it started 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.000 as usual. Top five dead or alive here on the 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.600 Fantasy Freestyle. Give you a little news and notes here 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.960 first in Major League Baseball, as you get into Opening Day, 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.400 some of you guys may still not have drafted yet. 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.800 Do not draft Drew Smiley, or at least drop him 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.880 down your boards. He'll be out for the next six 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:59.320 to eight weeks with a left flex or strain. Mariners 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.280 GM Jerry to Poto says, uh, he didn't actually look 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.160 the same After the World Baseball Classic. A number of 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.600 people got hurt in the World Baseball Classic. As a 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.720 Yankee fan, Deeed Gregorious was one of them as well. 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.160 J D. Martinez finally is moved to the d L 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.240 so if you have drafted him, you can finally move 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.800 him to your d L spot, giving you that roster spot. 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.639 He's got that Liz Frank Sparing. He's probably gonna be 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.560 out until May. Ricky n Alasco has been named the 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.560 opening day starter for the Los Angeles Angels. I gotta 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.640 tell you, if Rickyn Alasko is your opening day starter, 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.680 if he is your ace, you're gonna get stacked against 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.400 in DFS coming up real soon. They're playing the Aids 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.840 on opening Day. Maybe Chris Davis should be in your 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:43.079 lineups there. Um. Bob Melvin actually says the Oakland A's 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:47.240 may go closure by committee. If you remember, on yesterday's show, 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.560 I had my boy Mike Repberg as a fantasy freestyle 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.120 correspondent as we previewed the Oakland A's. He said that 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.440 his best bet was gonna be on Ryan Madson and 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.320 then maybe Doolittle. Don't sleep. It could also be Mr 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:01.040 Cassilla over from the San Francisco Giants staying in the 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.320 Bay Area. I will say this, though, one of those, 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.360 probably two of those guys, will get traded in this 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.280 Major League Baseball season. Okay, these guys all have experience, 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.080 They also have John Oxford on that bullpen, who also 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:17.400 has uh closer experience. So think about contending teams that 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.720 might still be in the market. You know, the Nationals 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.000 just announced their closer recently, and we'll we'll see about that. 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.000 I think those guys could be on the move throughout 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.480 the season. Matt Garza is going on to the d 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.280 L for the Milwaukee Brewers with a strained right groin. Remember, 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.000 interestingly enough, especially a few Fantasy Baseball players out there 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.440 this year new changes to the collective bargaining agreement. Uh, 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.840 the ten day del not the fifteen day del. Remember 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.200 about that. But show Walter also now says that Chris 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.360 Tillman he will make not one, not two, not three, 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:50.040 but four rehab starts before rejoining the Baltimore Orioles. And 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.120 in uh, you know, injury news that I'm personally happy 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.680 about for a few reasons, because this guy was kind 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.360 of a beast and then has been besieged by injuries 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.640 the last couple of years, and also because he was 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:04.080 a spec a little late round drafte that I had 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.000 in a draft. Earlier this week, Tito Francona confirming that 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.200 Michael Brantley will be on the opening day roster for 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:14.040 the a L defending champion Cleveland Indians. Those are things 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.560 I like to see. News and notes also in the NFL, 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:21.080 and I think it's interesting because, Um, yesterday, remember we 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.560 had a poll question up which of these two guys 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.440 will actually play five more years? Tom Brady or e 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.080 g ro Suzuki, both of them saying they wanted to 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.680 play five more years. That was our poll question yesterday. 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.479 Today we get word Drew Brees says that he wants 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.679 to play until he's forty five years old. Drew Brees 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.840 is only thirty eight years old. I'm gonna tell you 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.760 right now, I'm gonna tell you something though. These are 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:44.320 the comments of a man who knows he's in the 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.880 last year of his current deal and he's looking for 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.080 a new deal. But we'll see if we could do it. Um. 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.400 Also news out of Cleveland, they're saying that Corey Coleman, 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.279 the first round draft pick last year, he would actually 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.840 move to the slot if the NFL decides to re 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.440 state Josh Gordon. Now, remember they signed Kenny Britt in 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.440 the off season in free agency. That's an outside X 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.200 kind of receiver. Josh Gordon is also an outside kind 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.800 of receiver. This is only days after saying they think 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.479 Corey Coleman is now like the man in Cleveland. I 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.640 think this puts a severe damper. And we're hearing a 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.440 lot about oh, maybe Josh Gordon will get reinstated. This 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.320 is kind of a where there's smoke, there's fire. I 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.240 would not be surprised if Josh Gordon actually does make 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.760 his way back to the Cleveland Browns at some point. 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.760 Another poll question we had earlier on in the week 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.440 was this idea of who would you want as your 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:39.080 backup quarterback? Would you want like r G three, J 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:43.440 Cutler or this guy Colin Kaepernick. And at this point, 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.240 I'm telling you, I think he's just blackballed from the league. 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.680 Now there's news sources um gms and owners are potentially 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.520 worried that he's a vegan. Come on now, come on now, 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.640 and they accredited his weight loss last year to him 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.560 being a vegan. I thought that was actually healthy. I 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.160 actually thought it was a good thing. You know, like, 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:00.960 isn't that basically what Tom Brady's wing? But when Tom 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.080 Brady do it, does it it's because he could play 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.120 until he's fifty, Because he's the Golden Boy with his 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:09.320 inflated balls. But when Cap does it, you know, because 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.440 he does it from a kneeling position, all of a sudden, 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.400 he can't, you know, find his way into the league. 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.560 Gino Smith's got a job. Colin Kaepernick can't get a job. 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.880 All right, whatever. You know, those are polls from previously 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:21.839 in the week. My man Chris Bovona has put up 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.240 the polls for today, and I'm gonna even bring in 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.679 my man uh Sports with z from that sports Guru 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.560 app because I know he's a basketball guy and I 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.160 know we're gonna be talking about this. Here's the straight 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.000 up question. Who is the NBA m v P. We've 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.160 been talking about this all week because you know, Russell 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.839 Westbrook is going absolutely Banana's triple doubles. He's gonna average 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.880 a triple double, fifty seven point triple double. But then 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.400 you've got James Harden. Then you got James Harden who 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.360 is leading the league and assist and it's also very 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.240 close to a triple double. And to be quite honest, 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.040 it depends on what you talk about in terms of value, 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.720 because James Harden has been sick and it's perfect for that. 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.200 Mike D'Antoni system that they're running down there, the perfect 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.279 for the perfect pick and roll kind of player. I 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.760 also have as options Lebron James because I mean every year, 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:04.799 this is like when Michael Jordan's was in the league. 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.760 Like he he was the best player every year. But 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.160 you know they throw call Malone one, they throw a 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.040 key malage on one, whatever the case. Maybe, um, you know, 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.400 Lebron jameson is always be in the conversation. And that's 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:18.800 my fourth. Um, don't sleep on Kawhi Leonard Kauahi Leonard, 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.000 the two time defensive Player of the Year. This guy 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.080 doing it on both ends for the San Antonio Spurs, 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.680 the number two seed in the West. Before I go 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.800 to the poll, let's bring him my man sports with 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.400 z over here. Who's your NBA MVP at this point? See, 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.160 it's always a tough decision with that when you have 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:35.880 two players on the top of their game. Right now, 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.679 Westbrooken hardness. In my opinion, I gotta go with Westbrook, right, 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.000 you gotta go at Westbrook just too too hot for that. 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:46.000 I think that thirteen and eleven he put in and overtime, 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.080 I think that was like his drop the mic moment 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.360 on it. But here's the thing. Here's the thing, just 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.720 for just for context, right, And I love Russell Westbrook 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:58.680 and all. I love that, but like he's just kind 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.800 of just a one man show, and it's almost like 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.600 the team is allowing him to do that, just like 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.440 in pursuit of this Oscar Robinson not to check this 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.760 out Alan Iverson, And I said this yesterday, Alan Iverson 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.320 in the season where he had the most shots of 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:18.360 his career. Alan Iverson in that season had nineteen hundred 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.800 and forty shots and he played forty two minutes a 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:25.240 game in that season. Russell Westbrook this year, while only 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.720 playing thirty four minutes a game, has already more than 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.440 that nine hundred and seventies seven shots. I mean, like 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.400 the thing is like, yeah, I mean I love him 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.120 and all, but we'll see right now, that poll is 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:38.640 up there on that f N T S Y radio 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.760 Twitter handle, and uh, Russell Westbrook right now is your 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.000 choice as well if we look at it right now, 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:49.439 Russell Westbrook with six of the vote, Harden onlycent of 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:50.800 the vote. I'm surprised by that. I thought it'd be 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.400 a little bit closer. I thought it'd be a little 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.080 bit closer, but we just put that poll up, so 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.080 we'll keep track on that throughout the show. The other 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.040 one I want to get into is, uh, you know, 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.959 on my show on Monday coming up, we're gonna be 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:04.960 right before the National Championship. As you know, we go 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.120 into the final four this weekend down there in Phoenix. Um, 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.480 what matchup in the final four will we be talking 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.280 about as we reconvene here on Monday. Will it be 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.640 Gonzagravis Oregon, Gonzagravis U n C. South Carolina versus Oregon, 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.559 or a Battle of the Carolinas. I think this is 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:24.079 very interesting. I'm thinking about what rundown I build regardless 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.360 of it. You know, because at the beginning of this tournament, 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.199 at the beginning of this tournament, you could go ahead 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.120 and check the tape. I've been saying for a while 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.439 that the best coast is the West Coast, and the 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.200 best ball is being played out west. However, not the 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:39.960 ball of Alonzo and LaVar and so being Gonzaga and 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.680 Oregon could be very very interesting. I also think this 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:48.200 Battle of Carolina could be very interesting. North and South Carolina. Um, 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.840 what will they do in the bathrooms? If that's the 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.520 just got changed, so maybe a will and facto there, 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:57.640 But um, what do you think, what do you think 0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.959 is gonna happen in Final four this weekend? Well, I'm 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:04.160 still on the bracket, hunt man. So you gotta ride 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.600 with them. You gotta ride with them, and regardless of 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.760 what you do in the bathrooms, whatever do in the bathrooms, 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.599 and actually gonna lose. Okay, So you're looking for a 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.560 Battle of Carolina, Battle of Carolina. All right, we shall see, 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.160 but you can get at us right now if I 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.840 check it on the pole right now. I gotta tell you, Um, 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.280 most people think that it will be Gonzaga versus U 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.720 n C. That's the chalk right, the one seeds making 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:29.000 it there. Most people have Gonzaga advancing, and uh, most 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.200 people think that you and see will move it on. 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.160 Keep it moving though. Here Top five that are alive 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.360 on the Fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:37.640 I want to get into this a little bit. One 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.240 of the things we've been talking about all week, and 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.200 Chris Bavona, I'd love to get your thoughts because you 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.680 were just in Las Vegas, right So we've been talking 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:47.040 about this Raiders move. We've been talking about this Raiders 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.680 move for a little bit, um and I have new 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.760 information to bring to the to bring to the Fantasy 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.480 Freestyle listeners. Chris yesterday. What we were talking about it 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:56.720 is like, what do you do if you're an Oakland 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.520 Raiders fan, If you're an Oakland Raiders fan, do you 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.160 cheer for this team? Do you buy season tickets? You 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.040 give them the money to support this team, because unlike 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.000 the Rams and unlike the Chargers, this team is on 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.040 the precipice of contending for a you know, an NFC championship, 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.319 potentially Super Bowl, especially in the next two years, as 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.120 Car moves on, as Mac moves on. You know. So 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.680 if you're a Raiders fan in l A, do support 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.880 the team? Do you protest? You know? That was the 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.679 whole question we had. We've been talking about the Raiders 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.360 for a lot this week and check this out new 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:29.720 information I read UH and dead Spin the U The 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:33.200 Raiders actually refinance their thing with Oakland Alameda Coliseum so 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:34.880 many times, and they were gonna do the PSL That's 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:36.480 how they're gonna pay for it. They didn't sell enough 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:40.679 PSLs and with the interest, um, they were on the 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.880 hook for three fifty million dollars, so they refinance their 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.320 loans right for that that the taxpayers are having to pay, 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.760 and now they have to pay this until two thousand 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:50.600 and twenty five, regardless of if the Raiders are there 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.480 or not, they have to pay. The taxpayers will now 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.760 have to pay thirteen million dollars. The county has to 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.120 make that up in tax money every year from now 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.680 until two thou and regardless. So maybe if you was 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.600 a Raiders fan that I was like, no, no, not, okay. 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:07.120 I'll still go out and support the team. I'm gonna 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.800 cheer for them. I'm gonna wax poetic and nostalgic about them. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:14.320 I'm gonna relish every opportunity I can. Does it change 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.600 your mind knowing that your tax dollars are still going 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.280 to repay the refinance bill for the Colisseum when it 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.680 was originally done for Al Davis, and you're gonna be 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:25.440 on the hook for that until two thousand and Chris, 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.560 how does that make you feel? So? As a Los 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:32.280 Angeles Raiders fan, excuse me because you said l A. 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:37.040 That's actually where most of the Las Vegas fans are from. 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.760 Most of the Vegas Raiders fans are from Los Angeles. 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.160 They didn't want the Raiders in Los Angeles. They're like, no, 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.120 we want a reason to go out to Vegas. So 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.920 this is great. Like this from from a Los Angeles 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:51.200 Raiders perspective, I think it's great. I think it's amazing 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.520 for them. For the Oakland Raiders fans, I think that 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.760 this is absolutely terrible. It's a very sad day for them. 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.679 Not only that, if I was an Oakland Raiders fan, 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.840 I would give up. I would give up team football 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.040 and I just become a fantasy football fan. Interesting. Interesting, 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.280 But check this out. Oakland doesn't want them either. Oakland 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.000 doesn't want them there either. Check this out. I have 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:14.880 quotes now from the executive director of what is known 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.120 I didn't even know this existed, something called the Oakland 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:21.120 Alameda County Coliseum Authority. These are the people that actually 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.680 run the stadium and actually execute the lease that they have. 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:27.280 The executive director, a guy named Scott McGibbon, says, I 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.720 would say to you, with the highest level of confidence, 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.520 my opinion and the recommendation of my board members, there's 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.120 no way we have an appetite for the third season 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.280 here in Oakland. That would be the two thousand nineteen 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:41.199 season before they actually move. He goes on to say, 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.480 He goes on to say, we have two more years 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:50.040 of lease options right now, but it's actually financial to 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.840 lead to our benefit if we didn't exercise the options, 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.400 and and even if they didn't play here in two 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.480 thousand seventeen or two thousand eighteen, they're trying to get 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.240 out of the lease. They want no part of this 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.120 because they don't want it's protesting outside. They don't want 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.560 God forbid them to be even better and then walk away. 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.439 You know this sort of thing. It's real bad. I 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.280 think they're gonna wind up in San Antonio, to be 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.640 quite honest, I think they're gonna wind up in San Antonio. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:13.840 Or I think they're gonna wind up playing a lot 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:17.000 of games in Mexico City, you know what I'm saying. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:18.600 I can see that happening. To remember, the Saints want 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.680 to Sat Antonio for a little while after the Katrina 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:22.640 you know. So, I I don't think it's gonna be 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.240 a good scene down there in Oakland. I think it's 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.400 really really bad. And I'll tell you what, um, Chris, 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.480 you mentioned that Raiders fans, you know, to just become 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.400 fantasy football fans instead, I think what they are gonna 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.360 wind up doing. To be quite honest, I think they're 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.840 gonna become Miami Dolphin fans. And here's why. Stephen Ross, 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.040 the Dolphins owner, he was the only one that voted 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.840 no on this move. Okay, Stephen Ross, it went thirty 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.080 one to one. Stephen Ross is the only guy who 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.440 said no. And and and you know why in my opinion, 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.440 because Stephen Ross spent five hundred million dollars of his 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:58.280 own money to renovate the Dolphins stadium. And now basically 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.560 what Mark Davis is looking forward is that corporate welfare, 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.960 you know. So it's either that or here's another idea, 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:04.200 and I want to get your take on it. Mr 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.880 Chris Bovona and my Man Sports with Z. Also, now, 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.280 with the Raiders moving to Vegas, that means super Bowls 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.080 will be played in Vegas. That means less Super Bowls 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.160 will be played in Miami. That's money out of Steven 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.600 Ross's pocket. So not only does he have less Super Bowls, 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.960 but uh, you know, he had to put up five 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:26.200 hundred million dollars to renovate his stadium. The Raiders, they 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.000 just get to move somewhere else. And have the taxpayers 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.760 pay for it. I understand. I think you should ride 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:32.840 with the only owner who voted no, that would be 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.200 Stephen Ross and the Miami Dolphins going over to Miami 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.160 because it's the same kind of spirit down there in 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:38.760 Miami too. What do you think? What do you think, Zach? 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:40.920 And I think it's you know, I was talking to 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.240 an Oakland Raiders fan actually a couple of days ago, 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:44.880 and he was telling me, you know, He's like, I'm 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:46.600 you know, I'm an Oakland Raiders fan. I'm gonna be 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.480 a Raiders fan no matter what. But you know the 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.400 way Miami handled you know, owners, I think owners should 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.720 pay for their they Why are you giving the taxpayers that? 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.000 That's ridiculous? For sure, for sure, I want to hear 0:15:58.000 --> 0:15:59.400 what you have to say. Give me a shout at 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.840 eight four four A four three six eight seven nine 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.480 Dane Martinez speeds and spitting statistician, I got my boy 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.040 sports would We're gonna preview the Texas Rangers upnets at 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.720 speed spotlights a different team here as we go through 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.040 string training.

I know, uh, you're 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.240 feeling good about Texas after last year, mostly because he 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:48.480 knocked out Joey Batts, right. I should have worn that tonight. 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.199 Don't mess with Texas, right, all right? So check this out. 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.040 I got a couple of guys, Zach, that I want 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.840 to ask you about, and my man Zactly, that correspondent 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.320 for the sports Guru app does some real good work. Um. 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:00.879 The first guy I want to ask you about is 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.040 the guy with the sick right cross, and that's Roof 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.720 Middle Door. He just signed a six year, forty nine 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:11.280 and I have million dollar deal. I have a lot 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:13.400 of questions about this, what it means for the entire 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.280 team and implications. But first of all, do you like 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:17.360 that deal? Because I gotta tell you something. I am 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.720 a little bit down on Roof Middle Door. How do 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.640 you feel about old door? Down? As you know how 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:26.040 I feel about Oh Man, he's gonna light it up 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:27.720 next year, it's gonna be you think he's gonna light 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.359 it up. I don't know. Amazing, he's amazing talent. My 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.359 man is very volatile at the play. Twenty one point 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:37.000 five percent strikeout rate. This is a guy who strikes 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.080 out a lot, is very aggressive, does not walk three 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.439 percent walk right. This guy is trying to hit bombs. 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.359 He hit thirty three last year. Yeah, I mean, don't 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.359 get me wrong, he does that. But I don't know 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.000 what I hope for what a guy who's entering is 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.800 what three season something like that. I hope I see 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.359 better plate discipline out of this guy, And I don't 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.359 know if that's going to be the case. You know, 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.680 down there in Texas a free swinging club they are. 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.439 That would be my concern that the thirty three home 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:06.560 runs that he hit last year gets in his head 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.199 kind of like Willie Mays, Hayes and Major League, and 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.359 then he starts thinking he's a power hitter. I don't know. 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:14.720 I like the door. I don't know. There's something about 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:17.359 him that just sparks that team um on on the 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:19.120
