I got my boy Donnie Burns with me 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.360 on the ones into so hot that we sweat steam. 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.240 But I gotta tell you real quick before we dive 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:59.000 into anything. I'm telling you right now, the Cincinnati Pittsburgh game, 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.880 Reds and Pira, it looks like it's gonna be delayed 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:04.160 to start. You may want to get some of your 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.600 starters if you play in DFS today, if you can 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:10.400 out of your lineup, including who many people think is 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.320 the best starter value including Speeds and Spitting statistician Jamison 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.280 Tyone was at eight thousand on fan Duel today. You 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.280 may want to get him out. I don't know if 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:22.480 that game is going to be starting on time. Uh. 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.520 Donnie Burns is with me. We got a couple of 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.520 polls up as usual. If you wanna, you know, chime 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.880 in on the poll, you can follow us at f 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.560 n T s Y Radio on Twitter. You could also 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:36.600 catch me your boy at Spitting Speeds on Twitter. I 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.440 got some polls up there, Donnie. I want to tell 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.440 the people about first. One is you may have seen, 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.680 but Jerry west was talking about how he never wanted 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.560 to be the logo of the NBA and it might 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.319 be time for a new logo. So I asked you 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.840 who should be the new NBA logo? Here are your options. 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.240 One option is Michael Jordan's. You know we got he 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.000 has a great logo with the Nike Air Jordan's maybe 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.400 that should be the logo of the NBA. Should it 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:04.200 be shock Shaquille O'Neal, you know, powerful dunking kind of image. 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.000 What about Russell Westbrook who is doing it all right now? 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.399 But then again, if you listen to the show regularly, 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.200 you know another option could be any player resting on 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.959 the bench, because that's what they are doing these days. 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:16.799 They got another pull up there for you. Who would 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.959 be the worst option for ceremonial first pitch? We're talking 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.000 about that a little as it is opening week. We 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.160 talked about will Donald Trump throughout the first pitch, but 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.840 there have been some bad first pitches before. But who 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:28.760 would be the worst? Would it be an athlete from 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.840 another sport? Do you have to see basketball players try 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.799 and throw a baseball? Or would it be a singer 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.799 or a rapper? Do you ever see fifty cent throw 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.560 it at city field? Would it be a politician or 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.240 maybe a beauty pageant? There are two examples of mixed time, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.799 Miss Texas. We're gonna get into right after the break, 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:45.840 So come on back. After the break. I'll tell you 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.520 about speech and starting lineup, everything you need to win 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.160 your league and win that cash. We'll be right back 0:02:51.360 --> 0:03:12.120 after this. Oh weird, weird? Do you know what it is? This? 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.360 Your boyd Dame Martinez piece and spitting statistician. You're listening 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.240 live to the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.600 Network and of course, on all our Sports Byline affiliates. 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.839 Across the country and American Forces Radio network around the world. 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.639 I told you that that Red's Pirates game was delayed 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.920 at the start. Uh. Similarly in Miami, Braves and Marlins 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.000 will have a delayed start as well. But you know 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.640 what it is. In this segment here we do speeds 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:39.640 and starting lineup. If you want to call me at 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.320 any point this hour and want to have a little conversation, 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.440 we could do that. Holler at me at eight four four, 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.240 eight four, three, six, eight seven nine, And of course 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.960 you can interact with the show on Twitter at f 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.040 and t s Y radio at spitting speeds to get 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.720 your boy, Dame Martinez, let me give you a little 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.040 bit of news and notes since yesterday when we last 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.920 had a show. Will Myers hit for the cycle? Last night, 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.680 big things out of him Padres won five to three. Um. 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.160 Interesting things going on with the New York Mets. First 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:10.160 of all, last night Ed bray Ramos drilled as Drubal 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.800 Cabrera in the bottom of the eighth of a tie game. 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.120 You would wonder, like, why would he do that unless 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.200 there was an issue? And you know what, if you 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.479 look at a little bit deeper, there was as Rubal 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.880 Cabrera hit a go ahead or winning game winning home 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.240 run last August against this guy Ramos and Philly in 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:30.160 the eleventh inning. And you know, retribution can happen at 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.680 any time, So this was clearly going back to yesterday. 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.120 But then you know teammate j Bruce backed him up. 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.200 He hit his second homer of the night right after that, 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.400 and the Mets did in fact at the victory last 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.640 night four to three. Also with the Mets, though, they 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.000 are dropping Jose Reyes to the seventh spot in the 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:50.599 batting order. UH. Today tonight against the Phillies, Curtis Grandison 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.960 will lead off. So in your lineups, whether it be 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.360 season long or dfs where they hit in the order, 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.840 that's a big change for Jose Reyus, who only has 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.920 one hit so far on the season. Remember yesterday I 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.280 was telling you that UM a lot of guys with 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:07.760 hamstring injuries. I mentioned Tray Turner, UH and others. Well, 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.720 the Braves are putting Matt Kemp on the ten day 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.800 disabled list because of a hamstring. Also, the Mariners are 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.520 putting shortstop Jean Sagura on the disabled list because of 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.279 a hamstring. So let's get to some good news though, 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.320 the Blue Jays have activated their closer, Roberto will sooner. 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.839 He's back from the d L, coming back from that 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.440 cervical spasm that he was dealing with. And Martine Prado 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.680 is beginning his rehab stint with high a Jupiter. He's 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.600 returning from guess what a strained hamstring. Let's let's keep 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.280 it moving though. Give you speeds to starting lineups. Remember 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:41.880 this is where I give you what you need to 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.080 win your leagues and win that cash. Let's talk about 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:46.760 what happened last night. I gave you a couple of 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.520 starters last night. I gave you Jacob deGrom. I said, 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.720 pay up for Jacob deGrom, pay the ten thousand on 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.360 fan duel if you needed to. And that was a 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.440 little bit worried. While I was still on air, I 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.480 told you that he gave up two runs early in 0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.960 the game to Philadelphia. Well he shut him down after 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.599 to that when he went six innings, gave up two runs, 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.919 struck out three, gotch a quality start. Not so bad, 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.520 not so bad. I hope you did not, however, use 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.359 the other guy I mentioned, Brandon Finnegan. There was a 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:14.120 weird strike zone going on in Pittsburgh last night. Brandon 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.719 Finnegan walked five batters and only two innings, had something 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.159 like seventy pitches and was pulled after only two innings. 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.200 But Tyler Glasnow had the same issue. He walked five 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:27.480 and only one and two thirds and innings. So there 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.200 was definitely something going on with the strike zone in 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:33.560 Pittsburgh last night. I also told you that uh I 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.560 was fading Jared coz Art, and though San Diego padres 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:42.080 um at home against the Rockies, um at Corps against 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.680 the Rockies, and I thought, you know, stack against coz Art, 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:48.160 what does cozar due? Of course he throws four scoreless innings. 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.560 The best starter you could have used yesterday would have 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.760 been Michael Pineda. Sometimes I like to call him Michael Pittoniata. 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.240 That was not the case yesterday. In the home opener 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.040 at Yankee Stadium. Pinedo went seven and two thirds the 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.719 game up only one run, struck out eleven batters. Got 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.960 you a quality start and a win. And if you 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.520 listen to the last night's show, you know my homegirl 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:12.040 Lindsay was celebrating that entire time. So here's what I 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.200 want to do. I want to look I want to 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.400 look at it some starters for you to target for 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:20.240 tonight's slate. Okay, and remember I told you rain could 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.360 be an issue. Here's the guys I like. I like 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.160 Cole Hamils tonight. If you want to pay up for 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:28.040 starters at FanDuel, they're playing against the Los Angeles Angels 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.640 of Anaheim. Listen, you obviously have Mike Trout in that lineup, 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.040 but if you can work around Mike Trout, Hamilts of 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.400 course has two d K season upside, so day to 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.920 day start to start. You like that? As though your 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.320 name was Kirk Cousins. I like Jamison Tyone. I told 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.920 you that there was rain in the forecast. But here's 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.400 the deal. I like that now in your big time tournaments. 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.720 I don't like that as a cash game play. You 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:53.920 know where half the guys are making money, half the 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.600 participants who are third of the participants are making money. 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:00.040 But if you're in a tournament, you gotta figure. A 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.440 lot of people went off Tyone and all the pirates 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.440 with that news of rain. Now what I'm banking on, 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.600 I'm actually liking the fact that this game is delayed 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.960 to start. I would have felt a real bad if 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.080 this game started and then there was a delay, because 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:16.920 after any kind of lengthy delay, you know you're not 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.120 bringing that picture out, and the last thing you can 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.640 afford is to have your starter go one or two innings. 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.120 But I love this. They are delaying the start. It 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.720 looks like the chance of rain in Pittsburgh decreases as 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.520 the night goes on, so that means that once they 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.000 start this game, I think it's gonna run. And I 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.520 like having Jamison Tyone for only eight thousand dollars against 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.600 this Cincinnati lineup. He put up forty three Fantasy points 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.440 last time, and that was at Fenway Park against the 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:46.360 Red Sox. Clearly, being at home going up against this 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:50.040 Cincinnati lineup is a much better issue. If you don't 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:51.480 like that, you don't want to gamble, and you want 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.679 to look a little bit lower. Might I suggest to 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.800 you Robbie Ray for seventy hundred. I like his strikeout upside. 0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:59.920 Remember this is a guy who out of nowhere struck 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.080 out something like two hundred and eighteen batters last year. 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:07.160 You have the strike out upside. And there is no 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.920 Buster Posey in that lineup for the San Francisco Giants 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.480 because he is going to the concussion dal I Remember 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:14.800 yesterday I told you he got hit in the head 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.400 with a ninety four mile on our fastball from Taiwan Walker. 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:22.160 So uh, if there's no Posey, that lineup seems a 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.000 little bit less dangerous. I think Robbie Ray could get 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.760 you some strikeouts. He was one out short of quality 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.960 start last outing and he got to six ks. I 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.959 like Robbie Ray at seventy hundred. Remember when I told 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.520 you last night to fade Jared Cozart and the Padres, Well, 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.040 I'm telling you to do it again at Corps tonight. 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.120 The San Diego Padres are running out Jared Weaver. Jared 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.080 Weavers fastball and his last start topped out at eighty 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.240 six miles an hour. I don't know if you heard, 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.560 but Bettery Cardi on the DFS lineup block last hour 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.200 said that the gun on TV they were calling them 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:56.040 changeups when he was throwing his fastball. Uh. I like 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.200 a lot of Rockies tonight, I personally have Para in 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:04.079 my lineup. I also have Mr Nolan Ronado. Here's what 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:05.800 I want to do for you, guys, though there have 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.880 been so many injuries already. Remember I just told you 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:12.080 Buster Posey on the d l. You know, my man, uh, 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.760 Gary Sanchez on the New York Yankees is on the 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.920 d L with that biceps strain. He's gonna miss the 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:18.880 next four weeks. So what I want to do right 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.920 now is I want to tell you a couple of 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:25.240 guys that you can target at catcher that if you 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.600 need to, uh, you know, fill in for Gary Sanchez 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.600 for the next four weeks or maybe just for the 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.280 rest of this week if you have Buster Posey in 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:35.360 your lineup. Here are three catchers that are fifty owned 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.520 or less, so they are already available in your leagues 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.960 that I think they hot in the streets right now. 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.319 That is a throwback to the old Fantasy freestyle with 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.439 my boy rocks um hot in the streets catchers. I 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:51.559 got three for you. The first, Sandy Leone the Boston 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.679 Red Sox. He's played five in the seven games so far, 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.600 he's the number six catcher overall. He's only fift owned. 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.080 He's already he's got a one thousand on base Player 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.240 slugging and already five r b I s on the 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.720 young season. Here's another guy for you, Giovanni Soto, the 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:08.200 catcher on the Chicago White Sox. He has played. Here's 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:09.840 the thing, he's only played four the seven games. He's 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:11.760 kind of a part time guy out there in Chicago, 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.640 but he's only ten percent owned and he is three 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.200 holders already and five ribbies. Now, some of these guys, 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.040 if they're hot, if you're trying to replace a guy 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.440 like Buster Posey, I call it, you know, squeezing all 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.760 the juice out of the orange right good until the 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.560 last drop. By the time he starts fading, your boy, 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.920 Buster Posey will be back in your lineup and it's 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.240 not an issue. But here is my number one hot 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.400 in the streets catcher right now. He is the number 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.040 four overall catcher. This is a guy who is getting 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.080 regular work. He is hitting fifth or six. He's hitting 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.120 six tonight in the Minnesota Twins lineup. I'm talking about 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:47.120 Jason Castro. This guy is only owned, but he's got 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.040 a one point one six five on basse plus slugging. 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:53.280 He's already scored five runs, already hit five rb I s. 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.199 These are some guys who can get if you need 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.760 to replace Gary Sanchez or Buster Posey.

You know my 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.240 boy Benny Riccordi, he was really excited that Breaking Bad 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.920 one the TV Greatest of All Time tournament, and he 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.760 told me that I should shout out specific stations in 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:33.679 the state of New Mexico. So I do want to 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.280 give a big shout out to uh k n m 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:40.880 L Radio six ten AM in Albuquerque. Hopefully you guys 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.480 were also excited that Breaking Bad one our tournament TV 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.160 greatest of all Time. We're entering the cipher right now. 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:49.400 I want to start with some news and notes around 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:53.480 the NFL. Marshawn Lynch has said that he's also open 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.480 to coming out of retirement and returning to the New 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.800 England Patriots. That would be a case of the rich 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.480 getting richer now, wouldn't But I thought Marshawn Lynch was 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.679 all about like coming back to his hometown, But apparently 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.959 it's coming back to his hometown or the raiding defending 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.560 Super Bowl champions. Remember, Garrett Blunt was in that role 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:13.480 for the Pats and he has an offer on the table. 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.680 Maybe that's the reason that that hasn't been completely signed. 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.600 Is because Marshawn Lynch is dangling out there. Carlos Hide, 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:21.840 the running back for the San Francisco forty Niners, is 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:26.400 not yet one. He had a torn MCL in week sixteen. 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.360 He's saying he could run, but he can't cut the 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.760 same way that he used to. And also NFL Network 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.720 is reporting more trade talk for Richard Sherman. They're now 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:38.400 saying that it would take a a starter for your 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:42.800 team and a first round pick in order to get 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.840 Richard Sherman from the Seattle Seahawks. So there you have 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.160 some losing notes around the NFL. What I want to 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.080 do is go into these pole questions now and uh 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.480 get my boy Donnie Burns his take here. So the 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.000 first question we had is who should be the new 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.360 logo in the NBA. And I don't know if you 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.400 saw this story, but Jerry west really said that he 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.440 never really wanted to be the logo in the first place, 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.040 and that he thinks it's time maybe that the NBA 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.320 evolved and has a new one. So I put up 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.600 some options there. I put you know, M J. Jordan's 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.160 Shack Russell Westbrook, but I also said, if you have 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.040 other nominees. I want to hear it in the mentions. 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:18.720 Um So I wonder, like what really characterizes the modern NBA, right, 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.480 would it be? Would it be Michael Jordan's? Would it 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.760 be Michael Jordan? And you know that air Jordan that 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.080 we see on the Nike shoes. But the thing is now, 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.720 for all the young kids out there, all the millennials 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.000 out there, Jordan's is more of like a meme right 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.720 now than a logo. Right He's like the crying Jordan's meme, 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:36.760 I think is where most people like understand what that 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:38.200 would look like. And I don't think you want the 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.440 crying Jordan's meme as the logo of the NBA. So 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.160 then I think about Shack, Right, I think about Shack 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.200 and you can see him like throwing it down, maybe 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.880 breaking the backboard as the logo. But I think maybe not, 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.720 because you know, the game is not big men anymore. 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.760 It's not dumping it inside, it's not a physical game 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.560 as much anymore. It's all about spreading it out and shooting. 0:15:57.880 --> 0:15:59.880 So it makes me think, who would embody? You know, 0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:03.120 the aggressiveness and the style of play that happens right 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.080 now in the NBA. My answer for you, is Mr 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.680 Triple Double the probable m v P of the NBA 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.960 this season? Russell Westbrook could be Russell Westwood. But then 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.200 I think he doesn't have like a traditional pose, you know, 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:16.520 he doesn't have like a he doesn't have an image 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.920 that you're like, Oh, that's Russell Westbrook. And then I thought, 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.080 and if you listen to Fantasy Freestyle, you know, we've 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.360 been talking about this all season long. Could you just 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.520 have a player wrestling on the bench, because that's what 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:30.280 they're doing right now. They are resting players left and right. 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:31.880 So we're gonna check in on this pole. But first 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.120 let me bring in my boy, Donnie Burns, because Donnie Burns, 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:38.240 you are the resident Fantasy Freestyle basketball officionado. What are 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.040 your thoughts, man, who do you think should be the 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.360 new logo of the NBI? So you're probably I'm gonna 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.480 take some shares in Michael Jordan on this one for 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.920 a few reasons. Um, you're kind of gonna have to 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.080 stay in that generation as opposed to picking like a 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.040 Russell Westbrook Harden, you know what I mean? But what 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.400 I like Kobe, Yeah, that's what I was thinking. But 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:58.480 in the same sense, what's like the big Kobe pose exactly. 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.680 I could see a Jordan post. I could see a 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.200 few Jordan postes, so I would kind of take a 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.880 few shares of that. But I was thinking Kobe as well. 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.280 Not too fond. I can't see a little Yam session 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.320 with Shack, but I take more shares in Michael Jordan 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.320 at this point. Fair enough, fair enough, And right now, 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:18.439 I gotta tell you, sixty of the voters they agree 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.000 with you, Donnie Burns. They believe that Michael Jordan's could 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:22.920 be the new logo of the NBA. I think that 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:24.920 would be like the chalk, you know, and that would 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.120 be like the easy way out. So you know, there 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.040 you have it. The other question I have up for 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.359 you is, uh, who would you trust the least to 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:37.760 throw a ceremonial first pitch in Major League Baseball? You know, 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.360 have you ever seen what happens when like football players 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:46.480 or basketball players try to throw out the really bad day? 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.640 It's really really bad. I've seen, you know, you talk 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.760 about Michael Jordan's. I've seen Jordan's throw out a first 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.680 pitch of the Cubs game, and it did not look good. 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.200 You think about John Wall once for the Washington Nationals 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.240 throughout the first pitch in two thousand and eleven. Yo, 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:01.399 check this out like I have it right now up 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.400 on my Twitter at spitting Speed's the worst top ten 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.040 ceremonial first pitches of all time. There are definitely some 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.800 you know, athletes from other sports there or would it 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.080 be like a singer or a rapper? I remember here 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:15.920 in New York and remember here we're at Rock and 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:19.240 Riley's studio thirty four, live here at Rock and Riley's 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:23.520 on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. But uh, fifty cent 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.320 do you remember what fifty cent did? Oh my goodness, 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:28.760 it was like real high and outside. It was really crazy, 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:30.280 and it was bad because like his warm up pitch 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:31.960 looked good. And you may remember do you remember that 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.240 hit single a few years ago? Uh called me Maybee 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.080 by the singer Carl Ray Jepson. Well, she threw out 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:39.719 a first pitch for the Tampa Bay Rays in two 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.080 thousand thirteen, and let me tell you it rolled all 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.879 the way there. So maybe like rappers or singers, what 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:49.159 about politicians? What about politicians? You know? Because like there 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.240 was in Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory, he threw out the 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.199 first pitch one time, and it did not look good. 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:56.240 Remember we talked about this before. Maybe that's why Donald 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:57.800 Trump didn't want to throw out the first pitch for 0:18:57.920 --> 0:18:59.920 fear of what, you know, what the fake news how 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.119 I would portray it. But then I also think, what 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:06.040 about beauty pageants. Sometimes they have like Miss Texas, you know, 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.320 or Miss Atlanta out there to throw out the first pitch, 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:11.080 and it does not go well, It has not gone 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:13.159 well historically. What do you think, don what do you 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.440 think if you to, where would you go. The one 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.040 that bothers me the most is like the John Walls. 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.240 And I think I've seen athletes in sports. I've seen 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.440 Nick Young throw it there. They are such crazy three 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.159 And how do you know someone with such great athleticism 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:33.200 or you know, quite exactly crazy awkward control baseball fairly well, 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:35.280 you know what I mean. Like, So that's the one 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.119 that kind of I'd have to pick them just for 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:40.240 the fact that they're so good at at something else 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.600
