Speaker 1: And welcome to another edition of the Fantasy Freestyle right
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Sports Network. Welcoming back. You know
Speaker 1: the stats overbeat cipher. We are in full effect. Let's
Speaker 1: give a big shout out right away to my folks
Speaker 1: down on the fourth floor on the Fantasy Pit of misery.
Speaker 1: I got Danny Auto, I got my best friend forever,
Speaker 1: Mike Florio. They are on the ones and tools, keeping
Speaker 1: it so hot that we sweat steam. They are blowing
Speaker 1: up like a Samsung sebe. But we got a good
Speaker 1: show for you today. You know, check this out. Interesting
Speaker 1: time in the NFL calendar. Okay, you got people getting cut,
Speaker 1: You've got people. Will they put the franchise tag on
Speaker 1: you or not? We had the NFL combine that just happened.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a little bit about the NFL combine
Speaker 1: as well. And then next week, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: Next week, starting on Monday, we have what's called the
Speaker 1: legal tempering period. Okay, you gotta love that. For a
Speaker 1: couple of days people can kind of cheat on each other.
Speaker 1: And then um, next Wednesday, free agency starts. Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: about to get paid. Looks like after some decisions that
Speaker 1: were made, uh today, looks like Sammy Watkins might get
Speaker 1: paid a R fifteen. Allen Robinson will get paid. But
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about who I think took the cake
Speaker 1: in the NFL combine over the course of the last weekend.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do that in a couple of minutes. We
Speaker 1: gotta pull question up on Twitter as usual. Okay, hit
Speaker 1: me up on Twitter at Spitting Speeds, and my question
Speaker 1: is who was the most important or the most talked
Speaker 1: about or your favorite story from the NFL Combine. Wasn't
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, who you know is a quarterback. Okay, just
Speaker 1: like listen straight up, he is a quarterback, all right.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna do wide receiver. It's not like to
Speaker 1: ask Josh Allen to do tight end drills. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is it was it se Kwon Barkley,
Speaker 1: my man from the b X, from the Boogie Down,
Speaker 1: who did absolutely ridiculous at like two and thirty pounds.
Speaker 1: This kid ran a four four flat al right, which
Speaker 1: is absolutely ut. I think he's shooting up draft boards rightfully.
Speaker 1: So the New York Football Giants, I think they can
Speaker 1: wind up taking a shot at him of number two.
Speaker 1: As you know, as your boy speeds, the spitting statistician
Speaker 1: is you know from the Buginea on Bronx as well,
Speaker 1: Big ups the sae Kwon Barkley or was it SHAKEM Griffin?
Speaker 1: This is a kid who really opened a lot of
Speaker 1: eyes at the combine. Got a late invite to the combine.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about him a little bit more, and then
Speaker 1: later on in the show, I'm gonna be very excited
Speaker 1: to have my man joined me with the status of
Speaker 1: each side. For we're gonna have Fernando Perez come on
Speaker 1: the show. He's a former Major league who played a
Speaker 1: couple of years with the Tampa Bay Rays. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk to him about all things, you know, baseball related
Speaker 1: before we get into the season. It's good to get
Speaker 1: it from a player's perspective, you know, because we're on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Network, right, so we're talking about Whoba,
Speaker 1: We're talking about groundball raids, We're talking about bad and stuff,
Speaker 1: right and rightfully so and rightfully so right, but it's
Speaker 1: interesting to get some takes on from the player's perspective
Speaker 1: on some of these issues that are going on in
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. And then, as usual, we put the
Speaker 1: fun and functional Sports Radio when my boys down in
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Pit of Misery down there on the fourth floor,
Speaker 1: we're gonna take the Wonderlick test, and we're gonna see
Speaker 1: how Danny Otto does. We're gonna see how speeds does.
Speaker 1: We're gonna see if we are you know, are smart
Speaker 1: enough to play quarterback in the NFL. I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you guys early on, though Danny Otto has been cramming,
Speaker 1: he has been seeing these wonder Lick questions. He doesn't
Speaker 1: want to embarrass himself in front of the stats over
Speaker 1: beat cipher. We got the chat room going. Let me
Speaker 1: know what you think. Who do you think will do
Speaker 1: better on the Wonderlick text Mike Florio, Danny Otto, boys speeds,
Speaker 1: the spitting statistician. Let us know and hit us up
Speaker 1: on the pole question as well. Let's start with news
Speaker 1: and notes from around the NFL. First of all, the
Speaker 1: franchise tag is on and popping. Okay, uh, Levyan Bell
Speaker 1: did in fact get tagged for a second year okay,
Speaker 1: fourteen point five million dollars to play running back. They're
Speaker 1: kicking the can down the road. I think this reminds
Speaker 1: me very much of what happened last year. Okay, they're
Speaker 1: kicking the can down the road, and I think this
Speaker 1: is smart for both sides, because, to be honest, if
Speaker 1: I'm Levian Bell and I've said it before, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say it again all season long. This is Big Ben's
Speaker 1: probably last year. This is their last ride in the
Speaker 1: sun when Big Ben walks away. Why if you're a
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell entering your prime, would you want to
Speaker 1: stay with the Pittsburgh Pirates as they cycle back to
Speaker 1: a young quarterback. I don't think you would, So I
Speaker 1: think him having that kind of flexibility down the road
Speaker 1: is a good idea. Um. Other people that did not
Speaker 1: get tagged, I think we're very interesting and they are
Speaker 1: going to hit the free agent market. I told you
Speaker 1: about Kirk Cousins. He's gonna get paid. There has not
Speaker 1: been a quarterback under the age of thirty that is
Speaker 1: actually healthy that has hit the open market in a
Speaker 1: very long time. Will it be the Vikings who are
Speaker 1: where I think he's gonna go. I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: go to Minnesota because he wants Stefan Can you digs it?
Speaker 1: And Adam I gotta Fellen. Will it be the Jets
Speaker 1: who are gonna throw money at him? Will it be
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, the Broncos. We'll see, but he's gonna get paid.
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, Alan Robinson, these are people. Jervis Landry via Trade,
Speaker 1: these are names you're gonna hear or about. Um. A
Speaker 1: lot of teams want whiteout We're hearing that the Washington
Speaker 1: football team maybe in on a R. Fifteen Chicago Bears
Speaker 1: want to get down with Jarvis Landry. So there's going
Speaker 1: to be some movement, all right. Also, rumors abound Seahawks
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Graham probably are not gonna be resigning him.
Speaker 1: Could he go back to the Saints? Wouldn't that be interesting?
Speaker 1: You know, they've been trying to replace him for a
Speaker 1: couple of years. That hasn't happened in a while. There's
Speaker 1: also reports coming out of New York that the Giants
Speaker 1: might be cool with Eli Manning. Okay, And I'm reading
Speaker 1: the tea leaves here, and I think that, Like I said,
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna go ahead and and try and
Speaker 1: get Sae Kwon Barkley at number two. Overall, let Eli
Speaker 1: have his swan song. And let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: Sae Kwon Barkley and old Dell Beckham outside of Leavian
Speaker 1: Belle and Antonio Brown, can you name me another combo
Speaker 1: at wide out and running back more explosive than that
Speaker 1: would threaten to be for Eli Manning. Of course, they
Speaker 1: still need an offensive line, but maybe, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: they make their investment there otherwise the rest of the
Speaker 1: draft and growing some money around in free agency. Speaking
Speaker 1: of free agency, um, the cap in the NFL has
Speaker 1: gone up, okay, increase about ten million dollars, given teams
Speaker 1: even more opportunity to sign these players. The cap is
Speaker 1: going up to one seventies seven point to million dollars
Speaker 1: a year UM. So people are definitely going to get paid.
Speaker 1: A last note, I'll give you to the I guess
Speaker 1: most famous referees or calling it quits, Ed Hockeyly the
Speaker 1: guns show. That's why I have my guns out today,
Speaker 1: you know, representing my line of verse. Everybody wrote a
Speaker 1: where you know what it is Ed hockey Lely with
Speaker 1: his guns out, and also Jeff Triplett, he of the
Speaker 1: flip coin fame. They're gonna be moving on. I've been
Speaker 1: saying they need younger revs to keep up with the
Speaker 1: speed of the game and the technology of the game.
Speaker 1: These guys were doing it for a long time. Maybe
Speaker 1: they can go retire and sit on some rocking chairs
Speaker 1: and use their asthma pumps. Moving forward to big big
Speaker 1: shout out from Stattoo of Beachside for d Hockilee and
Speaker 1: Jeff triplet all Right, I wanted to talk about the
Speaker 1: combine real quick before we bring in my boy Fernando
Speaker 1: Perez to talk about Major League Baseball. If you don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm about to let you know about Shakim Griffin. Okay, remember,
Speaker 1: first of all, earlier in the college football season where
Speaker 1: I've been on the University of Central Florida Golden Knights,
Speaker 1: I said they were the true national champions because they
Speaker 1: went undefeated at thirteen and oh this season, and I've
Speaker 1: been talking about them hanging banners and you know how
Speaker 1: they should have actually got a chance against Alabama because
Speaker 1: they beat Auburn in the regular season and they and
Speaker 1: they really could have been. They got screwed in this
Speaker 1: new you know formula. Well, one of their linebackers was
Speaker 1: Chakeem Griffin. She came. Griffin put up a four point
Speaker 1: three eight in the forty yard dash over the weekend. Okay,
Speaker 1: that is the fastest for a linebacker since the year
Speaker 1: two thousand and three. She came. Griffin had twenty reps
Speaker 1: in the bench press. Okay, she came. Griffin last year
Speaker 1: had forty four solo tackles, fourteen tackles for lost, seven sacks,
Speaker 1: and three turnovers. That after a junior year, were at
Speaker 1: fifty seven solo tackles, twenty tackles for a loss, eleven
Speaker 1: and a half sacks and three turnovers. Oh but I
Speaker 1: forgot to tell you she came. Griffin only has one hand.
Speaker 1: King Griffin does not have a left hand. Had a
Speaker 1: has a rare disease where he had to have his
Speaker 1: hand amputated right his His twin brother, Shaquille Griffin actually
Speaker 1: was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks last year in the
Speaker 1: third round. I do believe it's kind of an up
Speaker 1: and comer in the league, if you want to know
Speaker 1: the truth. Okay, but Shachim this year ran the same
Speaker 1: forty time, but his twenty two point pounds heavier than
Speaker 1: his twin brother. That's a big difference, right. This kid
Speaker 1: has ridiculous speed, is right away a special teams player.
Speaker 1: But the question is will he get a chance in
Speaker 1: the NFL. He has legitimately one hand, and so people
Speaker 1: kind of close minded, you know, like, how, how, how,
Speaker 1: quite frankly can he play? I have seen footage of
Speaker 1: this kid jump route to make interceptions and take him
Speaker 1: to the house. Okay, every time someone tells you he
Speaker 1: can't do it, he turns around and does it. He
Speaker 1: turns around and does it. And there's a great article
Speaker 1: in the Players Tribune. And I like to Players Tribune because,
Speaker 1: you know, you get the stories from the athletes directly themselves.
Speaker 1: And I think that's really cool. I think that's really
Speaker 1: um getting straight from the horse's mouth, right. And he
Speaker 1: tells a story about like when he was eight years
Speaker 1: old and a youth coach UM tried to tell him
Speaker 1: he couldn't play in a playoff game because he thought
Speaker 1: he was saving himself from you know, from himself. But
Speaker 1: instead he went out and made the game winning play
Speaker 1: in that game to beat this other, this coach's team,
Speaker 1: and it's stuck with him, you know, it's stuck with him.
Speaker 1: He said in this article. I got up. I ran
Speaker 1: off the field, holding the ball in the air with
Speaker 1: my one good hand, thinking that from that moment forward,
Speaker 1: no one was ever gonna tell me that I didn't
Speaker 1: belong on a football field, and no one was ever
Speaker 1: going to tell me that I couldn't be great. That's
Speaker 1: what this kid has been doing for a very long time.
Speaker 1: I am certainly rooting for Hikine Griffin. They were saying
Speaker 1: early on that you know, despite his you know, despite
Speaker 1: his all first first All team conference play in the
Speaker 1: Athletic Conference for a team that went thirteen and oh,
Speaker 1: despite the fact that he did work in the Senior Bowl.
Speaker 1: He didn't even get an invite to the Combine. Then
Speaker 1: he blows it up and puts up stats that people
Speaker 1: haven't seen in over a decade. This kid is improving
Speaker 1: his stock, and I I I challenged the NFL to
Speaker 1: go ahead and take a stand and you know, think
Speaker 1: clearly about what this kid can do to add to
Speaker 1: your team. You know, he said, so many people are
Speaker 1: gonna have doubts about what he can do. Some people
Speaker 1: thought he could do three, maybe five reps. He did
Speaker 1: twenty reps with a prosthetic hand. Okay, if you don't
Speaker 1: want that in your locker room, if you don't want
Speaker 1: that on your squad, showing how you battle, showing how
Speaker 1: you you know, grind hard, showing how you use that
Speaker 1: fuel against you, if you don't want that on your roster,
Speaker 1: I defy you to not go ahead and you know,
Speaker 1: take a mid round pick on this kid. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: obviously there are probably some limitations there, but this kid,
Speaker 1: it showed up, showed out, and so I want to
Speaker 1: let you all know about that on the stats overbeat Cipher.
Speaker 1: Let y'all know about Chechin Griffin from you U c F.
Speaker 1: I've been talking about the whole time shot called by
Speaker 1: your boy Speedes it's bitten Statista, and I think he
Speaker 1: was the biggest story of the NFL combriine. Like I said,
Speaker 1: we got a poll question up fifty six percent of
Speaker 1: you agree. Alright, I've only had this pole question for
Speaker 1: like an hour. We got a couple of hundred people
Speaker 1: that have voted already. Fifty six percent say Shakim Griffin,
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent say say Kwon Barkley, four percent say
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson were the big stories of the combine. Okay,
Speaker 1: So next week though, when I'm back here inside Studio
Speaker 1: thirty four here on the Fantasy Sports Network, um, it
Speaker 1: is going to be free agent frenzy. Alright. We're gonna
Speaker 1: be talking about money getting thrown around at wide receivers
Speaker 1: and what the fantasy impact is going to be. So
Speaker 1: I can get you ahead of things because if you're
Speaker 1: in like dynasty leagues or something like that, to help
Speaker 1: you win your leagues and win that cast. But we're
Speaker 1: gonna do right now, is we're gonna bring in my
Speaker 1: man for Nando Perez, for Nando Perez former Major League
Speaker 1: or yeah, Fernando, you can come on in. What we
Speaker 1: get Fernando? All set up? Let me also tell you
Speaker 1: about all people over at fantasy factor dot com. Come
Speaker 1: on in, Fernando. Did you know Fantasy Factor, though, is
Speaker 1: the perfect daily fantasy site for the casual recreational player.
Speaker 1: They have flatter prize pools, smaller contests, and you could
Speaker 1: do single entry contests. Okay, this way you're not competing
Speaker 1: against people with all those um algorithms and whatnot and
Speaker 1: multiple entries. I really like that to do in free
Speaker 1: free rolls every week NBA NHL free rolls, the free entry.
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is sign up and enter www
Speaker 1: dot fantasy factor dot com. All right, we got we
Speaker 1: got my man, Fernando Perez in the building. Fernando, they
Speaker 1: say down there that you got. You can't be in
Speaker 1: the corner though. They want you to, yeah, get in
Speaker 1: the shot. They want you to get in the shot
Speaker 1: because so you know, you're so handsome and whatnot. They
Speaker 1: want to get you in the shot. So right here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle, now we have my boy, Fernando Perez, Fernando, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of years in the majors. Yeah,
Speaker 1: with the Rais. Yeah, yeah, a couple of years is generous.
Speaker 1: W is generous. But you know you were out there,
Speaker 1: you were out there now there, you know, done some
Speaker 1: work in the past for vice for MLB as well,
Speaker 1: you know, and um, thanks for stopping by. How you feeling.
Speaker 1: I'm doing great? You got me kind of hyped up
Speaker 1: talking about about your man, the one hand man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Keen and Griffin man. Would you mean catching interceptions and
Speaker 1: running them back to the house, jumping routes? Yeah, what
Speaker 1: do you think do you think? I mean he shows
Speaker 1: you know, objectively sta for stat at these combines, being
Speaker 1: able to do what he has the production on the
Speaker 1: field as well. You know, do you think, um, he
Speaker 1: will go where he should go in the NFL draft
Speaker 1: next month? I don't know. I don't know that much
Speaker 1: about the NFL, um, but I'm just saying, how do
Speaker 1: you I hope you know, you always hope when there
Speaker 1: was a story, right, when there's a guy and he's
Speaker 1: easy to root for, you hope he's good at the sport. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: well it looks like at the very and at the
Speaker 1: very least, hope he gets himself a Wheenie's commercial or something.
Speaker 1: He should definitely get him endorsements in the end in
Speaker 1: the NFL ever, definitely get endorsements. But yeah, I hope
Speaker 1: he's actually actually good. Production seems to be there. But okay,
Speaker 1: so maybe not football, but you do know about baseball,
Speaker 1: no stuff about You do know about baseball, and that's
Speaker 1: why we wanted to bring you in. Okay, we were
Speaker 1: talking before the show about a lot of things, from
Speaker 1: advanced stats to pace of play, to how to make
Speaker 1: the game more exciting for the fan. Let's start with
Speaker 1: the pace of play, because one of the things I
Speaker 1: thought was interesting is you mentioned that are we really
Speaker 1: bringing more fans into the tent by change like trying
Speaker 1: to make these changes like limiting mound visits or um,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to put pop in ads and shorter
Speaker 1: commercial breaks. And you said that from a player's perspective,
Speaker 1: you don't really feel the pace of play as much,
Speaker 1: and you don't think necessarily you know, it's gonna bring
Speaker 1: new fans to the game if the game is shortened
Speaker 1: by ten fifteen minutes. I have a lot of feelings
Speaker 1: about it, and they're not all cohesive. There's some nuance
Speaker 1: in the situation. A lot of people who are are
Speaker 1: die hard fans of baseball. When you watch baseball, you
Speaker 1: want more of it. I'm not. I'm not there thinking, oh,
Speaker 1: this game was three hours and thirty eight minutes. Why
Speaker 1: couldn't it have been three hours and fifteen minutes. No,
Speaker 1: you want it, you want more of it. And so
Speaker 1: I think that it's a matter of of the actual
Speaker 1: product not being that compelling. What are we worried about
Speaker 1: when we're talking about worrying about baseball? Right, there's a
Speaker 1: multi billion dollar enterprise. We're worried because we're losing. Are
Speaker 1: following right, and and then they're gonna be fine. Baseball
Speaker 1: is gonna be fine. But we're not attracting young people. Well,
Speaker 1: why aren't we attracting young people? It wouldn't even be
Speaker 1: having this conversation if the product was compelling. And the
Speaker 1: product is not compelling, I will take you back. I
Speaker 1: have to say this. I have to say this. Two
Speaker 1: years ago, I was watching the opening day footage. It
Speaker 1: was live I think on ESPN, don't I mean, I
Speaker 1: roughly know who was broadcasting. It wasn't really the point
Speaker 1: who was on the broadcast. But it was the first game,
Speaker 1: the opening day. You should be brimming and and and
Speaker 1: just full of interesting things to say, an encitement, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, and and four minutes, four innings into the game,
Speaker 1: these guys are talking about Balding and their and their
Speaker 1: kids little league careers and things like that, and so
Speaker 1: we there is now it's this whole problem is not
Speaker 1: uh necessarily encapsulated in in this awful stretch of television
Speaker 1: that I that I watched. However, um, it just shows that,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, these people, what are they doing.
Speaker 1: They're imitating something that they've seen before. But there's a
Speaker 1: there's a part of the stadium experience and as well
Speaker 1: as the broadcast that's just not super fascinating. If I'm
Speaker 1: some kid, you know, pick a country that is not
Speaker 1: the United States, that knows nothing about football, and I
Speaker 1: come over from the said country, whatever it is, and
Speaker 1: I see a little bit of basketball, I want some
Speaker 1: more of that. I see a little bit of football.
Speaker 1: If especially if I'm like, you know, into physicality, I'm like,
Speaker 1: give me some more of that. I see baseball, and
Speaker 1: I'm not sure necessarily if I want all that and
Speaker 1: This is is coming from a person I want all
Speaker 1: the baseball all the time. Right, So you know that
Speaker 1: bottled gift product that we you know, that we see
Speaker 1: on ESPN, it isn't quite as compelling as the other sports.
Speaker 1: So there are lots of reasons, right, Uh, do the
Speaker 1: condensed games and I'm wonderful, that's wonderful, But you know,
Speaker 1: there's so many things at play. I think the unwritten
Speaker 1: rules make the product a little bit a little bit
Speaker 1: less interesting, right, I think there are some things we
Speaker 1: could we could Uh, you know, I've sat and talked
Speaker 1: with Tony Clark a few times. Tony Clark Clark one
Speaker 1: of my favorite humans. Immediately when I met one of
Speaker 1: my favorite humans I've ever met, Tony Clark as the
Speaker 1: closest man that we have two Morpheus on the run
Speaker 1: the Purl, and we we talk about it about you know,
Speaker 1: well there should be some diplomacy here where players and
Speaker 1: you know start to talk and just like listen, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe we should stop being in our feelings about so
Speaker 1: many of these things. We could make the TV a
Speaker 1: little bit better, right, So that's pulling it a little bit.
Speaker 1: But what about from the suspective you played outfield. Right,
Speaker 1: So some of these things that they're talking about, like
Speaker 1: the mound visits, but what are you doing during the
Speaker 1: mound visit? Look, you want that when you're playing defense.
Speaker 1: You there's incentive for that game to go quicker. You
Speaker 1: want a picture that works fast. So some of that stuff,
Speaker 1: like we're saying, it works itself out in the game.
Speaker 1: But of course you gotta ice the kicker, right, You
Speaker 1: gotta go out there sometimes and make mound visits that
Speaker 1: you don't need. And it's just a technology. Though in
Speaker 1: two thou eighteen they can't have a speaker. I'm not
Speaker 1: not against shortening the game. I'm not against shortening the game.
Speaker 1: It's just that, you know, as I would say, it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, baseball's my cousin, and it's just like I
Speaker 1: tell you, like you want to short in the game,
Speaker 1: my cousin is gonna be very very upset, because they
Speaker 1: will be very very upset. But I think, you know,
Speaker 1: baseball players are the world's premier improv athletes. Uh, And
Speaker 1: so I think that if you told baseball players, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, uh, you have to keep your right
Speaker 1: foot in the box, or all of a sudden, there's
Speaker 1: a pitch clock they could adjust, right. We're just you know,
Speaker 1: we're hearing some some moaning and crying about those things.
Speaker 1: It's an ecosystem and they don't want it upset. I
Speaker 1: understand that, but I think the bigger issue is that
Speaker 1: the product needs to be improved. The stadium experience sucks.
Speaker 1: Have you been to winter ball? Okay, so before you
Speaker 1: know you, I meet people as a baseball player. I
Speaker 1: meet people who are like, oh, I'm a fan of
Speaker 1: the Colorado Rockies. So we're gonna fly to Colorado. We're
Speaker 1: gonna fly there. We're gonna spend three or four d
Speaker 1: dollars on tickets, We're gonna you know, the flights, the hotels,
Speaker 1: all of that. I'm just like pocket half of that
Speaker 1: money go to the Dominican Republic. And you see base
Speaker 1: in Asia, see it right, Asia? But soccer, other sports
Speaker 1: you know the energy and yes, that energy right. So
Speaker 1: there are a lot of things that individual teams can
Speaker 1: do to make that experience better. Listen, I had some
Speaker 1: great chance in the right field bleaches of Yankee Stadium
Speaker 1: in the early nineties and I was told to shut up.
Speaker 1: Yeah you know what I mean. So I hear you.
Speaker 1: They don't necessarily embrace. Yeah, that kind of energy that
Speaker 1: fan base, seen videos of the Japanese baseball What do
Speaker 1: we do instantly? What are we doing over? I think
Speaker 1: I think you're right. We have to you have to
Speaker 1: sharpen the experience. It's about marching bands, but it's going
Speaker 1: to be better. And why is it bad? Look at
Speaker 1: who who works at Park Avenue and at that same
Speaker 1: stay executive. Yes, on the other side, you were talking
Speaker 1: about Tony Clark one of your favorite interviews, right, and
Speaker 1: he was very public, as you know, the union president. Right.
Speaker 1: One of the things that we've been talking about in
Speaker 1: this off season is this the idea that there's a
Speaker 1: lot of free agents left unsigned, okay, and so many
Speaker 1: resigned hype to the fact that they were all Scott
Speaker 1: Boris clients to the free agent class of next year potentially.
Speaker 1: Why do you think this is going on? Why do
Speaker 1: you think, like Tony clock Eman, like didn't the MLBP
Speaker 1: almost come out with their own spring training like for
Speaker 1: some of the unsigned guys that stay in shape. What
Speaker 1: do you think is happening? Why do you think you
Speaker 1: know there's so many guys left unsigned? Is it collusion
Speaker 1: among the owners? I know Collusion is a big word
Speaker 1: in society right now, But is it? I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think what young talent that's cheaper? What's I think that?
Speaker 1: I think that objectively, Like we're saying here we are
Speaker 1: we're both owners, we owned teams, and you're just like, man,
Speaker 1: I need an outfielder and it's last year or two
Speaker 1: years ago, and just like, oh, Jason Hayward is available, right,
Speaker 1: and just like, yeah, Jason Hayward ws a hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty million dollars. So for you, like look, so for
Speaker 1: you to just say, like, I don't know if I
Speaker 1: want to spend that much money on Jason Hayward, it's
Speaker 1: like to say that you're like doing if we've just
Speaker 1: both discussed perhaps Jason Hayward is not worth that contract.
Speaker 1: And I love Jason Hayward, but like perhaps that money
Speaker 1: is not well spent, right, or or with a picture right,
Speaker 1: a depreciating asset who who throws? Which is sad for you?
Speaker 1: Yes it's not. Yes, of course, so I think that
Speaker 1: that is. So you think it's not collusion. You think
Speaker 1: it's just collectively that organizations and ownership or whatever is
Speaker 1: is getting more intelligent. I don't reality, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean I think, you know, we know that gms
Speaker 1: are getting better. Before what was the GM, it was
Speaker 1: like a rich guy's homie. That's what the GM was.
Speaker 1: Now look at look at the Dodgers have so many
Speaker 1: gms that if they do something wrong, you don't need
Speaker 1: to blame absolutely, and so we're better at the position
Speaker 1: at this point. Um, you know, the collusion or not.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's very easy to objectively say damn
Speaker 1: the rent to damn, right, It's just it's very just.
Speaker 1: But again, but like I don't even want to get
Speaker 1: into that because that's a fight. It's like, you know,
Speaker 1: those are like those are like my my friends parents
Speaker 1: fighting the union and the and the league. And that's
Speaker 1: like I don't even want to get involved in that
Speaker 1: because it's a lot of money. It's like if I'm
Speaker 1: if I'm too. A lot of this this debate offing
Speaker 1: gets framed into like who should have the money? Like
Speaker 1: the players are the owners like the players, but they're
Speaker 1: both million millionaires billionaires, right, I don't really care absolutely.
Speaker 1: I was checking out. This is Fernando Perez here down
Speaker 1: with Dan Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle with the hashtags status, over beat, cipher, Fernando. I
Speaker 1: want to get you out here, and a couple more questions.
Speaker 1: One is you know this idea of the experience from
Speaker 1: the baseball player. One question I want to have you
Speaker 1: And although the spike happened after you got out of
Speaker 1: the league, in the last two two and a half years,
Speaker 1: since I guess the All Star Game in like two
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen, there's been a spike in home runs and
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of reasons attributed to that, right,
Speaker 1: everything from uh, people consciously trying with things like launch angle,
Speaker 1: which is very hot in the streets right now, you know,
Speaker 1: so hot in the streets launch angle exit v low.
Speaker 1: But it's also this idea we're getting a lot of
Speaker 1: energy around the ball itself may be different, less dense,
Speaker 1: less slick, and we're hearing that teams have to put
Speaker 1: their balls in the human door now right in the
Speaker 1: human door. In the human door. Can you tell what
Speaker 1: smells like a cover up to me? You mentioned the
Speaker 1: Colorado Rocky smells like a cover up, you mention, So
Speaker 1: tell me about why this is why it smells like
Speaker 1: Tell me because you have seen this baseball? Is it
Speaker 1: a different baseball? I've touched a lot of Bases' say, okay,
Speaker 1: so tell me about this. Why do you think what's
Speaker 1: going on? So let us behind the curtain. Who look
Speaker 1: um the baseball? For the people who control it, it's
Speaker 1: like the Federal Reserve. It's inflation. You can your chicks
Speaker 1: didn't dig the guys that game more exciting. No one
Speaker 1: wants to see a one nothing. The tenders above, beyond
Speaker 1: and in between. They love the long ball, right, okay,
Speaker 1: so there were more long balls. And look, and this
Speaker 1: doesn't even have to be like in a conspiracy moment
Speaker 1: kind of thing. I feel like there's a picture last year.
Speaker 1: I don't remember what company's receipt he compared a baseball too,
Speaker 1: but I want to say it was Adam Wayne, right,
Speaker 1: and I want to say it was a CVS receipt
Speaker 1: saying that that's what it felt like. There are many
Speaker 1: pictures coming out and saying, look it was maybe it
Speaker 1: was Verlander. Actually I put it on my Twitter timeline.
Speaker 1: Hit me up at spitter speed spin speeds. He had
Speaker 1: a graph of two thousand, like thirteen and two thousand
Speaker 1: seventeen with launch angle and exit vlow and then overlaid
Speaker 1: it with the percentage that it was home run. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, like those spray charts, right, So the same
Speaker 1: launch angle and exit vlow that was not a home
Speaker 1: run in two is a home run in got them
Speaker 1: with the map. I didn't know that happened. I've been
Speaker 1: traveling that happened. So so what's going on? Like, there's
Speaker 1: obviously some changes that have been made. Can you notice
Speaker 1: it as a ballplayer? And what you notice the thing
Speaker 1: is that it's it's remember, it's like, there's so many
Speaker 1: the the game has been played for so long, and
Speaker 1: guys know what things feel like. It's an ecosystem that
Speaker 1: is that is quickly upset. You like what I like it?
Speaker 1: It's a word I like, okay, And so I can
Speaker 1: tell you a lot about how that ecosystem changed. It's
Speaker 1: the same game all the time, you know, when you
Speaker 1: get called up, they will tell you, look, it's the
Speaker 1: same game. Try to play the same game. Of course,
Speaker 1: it's a little bit harder to do that when you see, oh,
Speaker 1: there's fifty people here and this is gonna be on
Speaker 1: my baseball card. But it really really is the same game.
Speaker 1: But parts of uh, the parts of the elements of
Speaker 1: you know, that ecosystem change. So for instance, you'll notice, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, pictures are closer to the zone. But you'll
Speaker 1: notice also that the ball in the major leagues is
Speaker 1: just flying in a way that it's not flying in
Speaker 1: the absolutely absolutely. So if I see a guy that
Speaker 1: hit forty home runs in the minor leagues, that's a
Speaker 1: lot of in the mind, that's a lot of home runs. Right,
Speaker 1: So it's a trend. Right, we have some smaller we
Speaker 1: have some smaller stadiums. Right, Yankee Stadium is playing very
Speaker 1: very small. You know, the New Atlanta had a jet
Speaker 1: stream right center or so we have to adjust for
Speaker 1: those things. People like that. I mean that you know,
Speaker 1: is that good pictures are going to complain. I mean,
Speaker 1: all these things in time have been adjusted. Right when
Speaker 1: we were just like, oh, we've got to change the game.
Speaker 1: Bob Gibson is too good. We've got to change the game.
Speaker 1: Raise and lower the mound exactly. So's never hit a
Speaker 1: home run against the black man. He didn't know. We're
Speaker 1: comparing errors and we're comparing baseballs and all these things.
Speaker 1: It's hard, and baseball is such a game of its
Speaker 1: record and nostalgia, as you mentioned, traditionalists, whether it's the
Speaker 1: broadcast or the records, right, but you can't compare anyway,
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's steroids or not, because it's like
Speaker 1: the staple of sports. Let me ask you this, because
Speaker 1: you were talking about these different adjustments that have been made,
Speaker 1: and you talk about the smaller stadiums in your experience,
Speaker 1: UM up at the big show, Like, what was the
Speaker 1: what was your favorite stadium to hit in? What was
Speaker 1: your least favorite stadium to hidden? Were there any that
Speaker 1: you knew, like I could get a hold of one here.
Speaker 1: My favorite stadium hit in was any stadium they allowed
Speaker 1: me to play in fair enough. But I'll tell you what, Um,
Speaker 1: The Roger Center is a fascinating optical illusion. It feels
Speaker 1: like you can just hit the ball off of the
Speaker 1: back wall and you can't. You can't. I mean, it's happened,
Speaker 1: Carlos Delgado's done some people, but it's just it's just
Speaker 1: the the optics of it. Another thing that I could
Speaker 1: tell you very very quickly, imagine yourself as an outfielder
Speaker 1: running after a flyball somewhere in the gap when you
Speaker 1: you're playing in a stadium that only seats you know
Speaker 1: a thousand people, let's say it the most, which is
Speaker 1: basically all of your experience until you get to about
Speaker 1: triple A, you don't really it's it's um as you're
Speaker 1: running when you don't notice the stands, like you don't
Speaker 1: see the stands. It's a totally different thing that happens
Speaker 1: when you get to the major leagues and you're doing
Speaker 1: all of this running and your mind is kind of
Speaker 1: placing you a little bit differently because you have the
Speaker 1: vantage of the stands as you're running. It's a weird thing.
Speaker 1: So in the major leagues it feels like you can
Speaker 1: run and run and run and run like you're not
Speaker 1: going anywhere, Whereas in in every other stadium that you played,
Speaker 1: a sense of like, oh, I've run this farm, you know,
Speaker 1: so that you know that that can also be nerves
Speaker 1: and so many different things. Um, you know, I played
Speaker 1: in maybe a third of the stadiums. Um A lot
Speaker 1: of them have that big feel like Texas has another
Speaker 1: one of those big fields where it is you know,
Speaker 1: as the joke says, everything is big in Texas, Texas
Speaker 1: feels huge. We talk about the ball flying out of
Speaker 1: Texas in the summer and the humidity is there. Can
Speaker 1: you tell that playing the outfield, you know, I'm carrying
Speaker 1: more in the summertime down in Texas. There there are
Speaker 1: certain places that the dynamics change, Like I know in
Speaker 1: in Wrigley for instance, a place that I haven't played
Speaker 1: that early in the season, I think they they say
Speaker 1: that the that it's blowing in and later in the
Speaker 1: season that's blowing out. I mean, there are all these
Speaker 1: things that you that sometimes change when you know, they
Speaker 1: knocked down a grand stand and try to make a
Speaker 1: new one and whatever. But you know, players they're used
Speaker 1: to all of those things. If trends are making stadiums smaller,
Speaker 1: and then of course the ball is just standard every year.
Speaker 1: You know, there's like we don't we don't really know
Speaker 1: now is it? Is it good? Obviously people are going
Speaker 1: to especially in fantasy, you know, when we're talking about
Speaker 1: these stats and people are betting and making plays, it's
Speaker 1: about offensive stats. It's about generating run production, right, So
Speaker 1: so yeah, well fantasy too, I mean, fantasy is about
Speaker 1: like you know, trying to predict the action and so players,
Speaker 1: you know, were that's in every everything in baseball. I
Speaker 1: Re just like never ending struggle between the position players
Speaker 1: and the pictures. So if if it's better for the game,
Speaker 1: if more runs are on the board, like the lower
Speaker 1: the mound, hate to be the guy and like institute,
Speaker 1: like let's follow the mound, let's bring you a little
Speaker 1: further apart, or let's make the plate smaller or something
Speaker 1: like that. But you know, um, if if they if
Speaker 1: it's more clear, like but we're gonna pay you the same.
Speaker 1: I think people are like, all right, fine, fair enough.
Speaker 1: This has been Fernando Perez here in the Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: true friend of the Cipher. Can I have you come
Speaker 1: on back sometime? I will come anytime? All right, absolutely,
Speaker 1: let me real quick before because I don't know if
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have it before the season starts. Can I
Speaker 1: get you on record? Who do you like this year?
Speaker 1: I'm doing my division by division previews right now. I'm
Speaker 1: settling in on. I think I'm settling in on. Give
Speaker 1: me every division, give it for sure. In the A
Speaker 1: L I gotta go with Houston, although I do like
Speaker 1: I do like the Angels as a wild card team. UM.
Speaker 1: In the Central, I like Cleveland. I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: run away with it. I do like the Yankees but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Cleveland Indians to represent the American
Speaker 1: League in the World Series this year. I love Klueber.
Speaker 1: I think some of those other arms, the carrascos of
Speaker 1: the Salazars of the world, A're gonna show up, show
Speaker 1: out um in the National League. I like the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: but I do think the old guys of the Giants
Speaker 1: can keep it together for one year, come together the
Speaker 1: Longorias themc cutcheons of the world. I like Chicago with
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Fest on their heels, and I like the Washington
Speaker 1: Nationals in the Bryce Harper Swan song to get it done.
Speaker 1: If sers around Stroudsburg stay healthy, I'm gonna take the
Speaker 1: Nationals to put it all together for me in the
Speaker 1: World Series with the Cleveland Indians, with the Indians Nationals
Speaker 1: World Series. Other people will say that too, because it's
Speaker 1: just like you guys should probably win one this yeah,
Speaker 1: before they lose. Harper, I'll tell you that you know
Speaker 1: so so about you? What are you? What are you thinking?
Speaker 1: If you had this conversation and would be on these
Speaker 1: too many tips to fall and I know that this
Speaker 1: is this is going this is recorded, so I don't
Speaker 1: want to say anything he doesn't want to accountability. But
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this. The world
Speaker 1: is good when the Yankees are supposed to win. Baseball
Speaker 1: is good when the Yankees are stacked and supposed to win.
Speaker 1: So I hope actually to to bolster this thing this
Speaker 1: way that I love the world. I need them to
Speaker 1: sign like Lancelin or somebody or maybe arm. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: they're only in the in the luxury tax right there,
Speaker 1: number eighth. They can George that we're spending more than
Speaker 1: exactly exactly the number eight. They had another another arm. Potentially,
Speaker 1: they got a lot of good one a's, but not
Speaker 1: so many, you know, true aces to not a grade
Speaker 1: seven arena. I think they're all one as they need
Speaker 1: that ace to truly go up against a guy like
Speaker 1: Clory Cuber unless they fail, unless they just decided to
Speaker 1: change the entire game and make it so that these
Speaker 1: guys only throw four innings. But I'm just gonna say
Speaker 1: that and leave because it's too fascinating. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about that another time, Stations and yeah, we'll do that
Speaker 1: next time. Thanks a lot for being on the show. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: Fernando Perez, everybody, Uh, catch them, catch them all over
Speaker 1: MLB doing his thing, making it happen. You know, we're
Speaker 1: gonna put the fun in functional sports radio. But first
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you about our people over at d
Speaker 1: k M s real quick check this out. Every three
Speaker 1: minutes and american is diagnosed with blood cancer. Unfortunately, only
Speaker 1: thirty of patients able to find a compatible bone marrow
Speaker 1: donor within their family. Okay, that's how you can help.
Speaker 1: Go to d k MS dot org slash fantasy today
Speaker 1: and you can sign up online to register as a donor.
Speaker 1: D k MS will send you the swab kit. It's
Speaker 1: just like yo, I did this last week, I did
Speaker 1: this twenty three and me I'm still waiting for my results.
Speaker 1: But it's just like that. You swab, you swab, right,
Speaker 1: and then as soon as you match somebody, they send you.
Speaker 1: You know, you can really help save a life, all right.
Speaker 1: They'll try and match you a person who need in
Speaker 1: need of a donation. The process is easy and best
Speaker 1: of all, you can save someone's life, not in the
Speaker 1: fantasy world here on the fantasy network, but in real life. Okay,
Speaker 1: going over to d KMS dot org slash fantasy see
Speaker 1: how you can help. All right, here's your boy, Dan
Speaker 1: martinezpes the spentting statistician. We're about to put the fun
Speaker 1: in functional sports radio. Um, do I got my man
Speaker 1: Danny Otto down there in the pit of misery? Do
Speaker 1: we have Danny Otto down there in the pit of misery?
Speaker 1: Because we're gonna take a test together? I think. So
Speaker 1: that's what I want to find out. Let's see if
Speaker 1: we got Danny, we got Florio? Do we got anybody
Speaker 1: down there in the fantasy pit of misery? What we're
Speaker 1: gonna do is, uh, we were talking about potentially taking
Speaker 1: this Wonderlick test. Hey, Danny, how you doing, man? I'm
Speaker 1: doing pretty good about you? Good? Did you hear any
Speaker 1: of my my talk with fernand Though He was talking
Speaker 1: about the ecosystem of baseball and how to make it
Speaker 1: a more I guess, engaging product. You're a millennial? What
Speaker 1: do you think? I? I liked it. I was hoping
Speaker 1: he was going to continue to talk. I was listening
Speaker 1: to it was really interesting. All right, Well, maybe we'll
Speaker 1: have him on back. We'll have him on back. You know. He,
Speaker 1: like I said, he played a couple of a couple
Speaker 1: of seasons with the Rays attention to get that baseball perspective.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know it sounds like we're gonna talk more.
Speaker 1: He'll be a friend of the podcast, friend of the show.
Speaker 1: Dilly Dilley has tag status with beat Cipher. But let's
Speaker 1: have some fun. Danny, you already to take this wonder
Speaker 1: Lick test. I mean, I'm as radio as I'm gonna be. Listen, man,
Speaker 1: let's be, let's be, let's be optimistic. I'm gonna feel
Speaker 1: real dumb after No. No, no, no, no, Danny, No, no, no.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's true at all. I think I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna do an incredible job. Is there anybody
Speaker 1: in the status of beat Cipher in the chat room
Speaker 1: that's talking about the wonder Look test at all? Danny?
Speaker 1: Does anybody? Uh? Because they could be rooting us on now, Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, so we'll see what the status with beat
Speaker 1: Cipher saying in in in the cipher he hasn't been
Speaker 1: talking about the wonder Lick test, but he's definitely what's
Speaker 1: strong Style saying, he's actually we've actually been talking back
Speaker 1: and forth about our our teams from last year. Because
Speaker 1: we were talking, we were getting but he said he
Speaker 1: wanted to comment that you know, Bell is not going
Speaker 1: to leave the Steelers until they win a Super Bowl
Speaker 1: that he feels like. Yeah, he he came out today
Speaker 1: and says he wants to be a Steeler for life.
Speaker 1: You know I was talking about before, but you know
Speaker 1: strong style. My only thing is if Big Ben walks
Speaker 1: away after this year, why would love Bell want to
Speaker 1: hit the reset button instead of being able to sign
Speaker 1: big money and go to a place that's ready made
Speaker 1: for a contender when he's still in his prime? That
Speaker 1: being Levy on Bell, I was gonna agree with everything
Speaker 1: said right there, But I was hoping that I could
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I could take the wonder Dick test with Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely for me, I've I've been around a long time.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking maybe I could get some some questions, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: I hope that could. The more the merrier, we have
Speaker 1: a fantasy league at the home. Really, and how did
Speaker 1: you do in your fantasy leagues? I came in third
Speaker 1: place because I craft my dependence and they wager that
Speaker 1: I'd be the first one out. Really okay, but here's
Speaker 1: the thing that's not they measure. It's not even about
Speaker 1: bodily function, right, So if you're if your if your
Speaker 1: bowels go, that does not necessarily mean that your mind
Speaker 1: has gone. That was the whole Our fantasy league was
Speaker 1: rich person coach in there. Diper first with sports. Well,
Speaker 1: that's a different kind of fantasy altogether. That's a different
Speaker 1: kind of fantasy altogether. And I was in Korea and Vietnam.
Speaker 1: Those are the fantasies. It's a different network. I think
Speaker 1: it's showtime and I think it's right around one am.
Speaker 1: It's a different kind of fantasy. Grinder that didn't shape
Speaker 1: your mind. Well, that's also a different kind of thing
Speaker 1: because in football, we don't know, we don't know how
Speaker 1: many people are using grinder. There's definitely a percentage of them,
Speaker 1: but they haven't come out just with all the pain
Speaker 1: his body sitting next year, it's like a blind guy
Speaker 1: got caught in the paint yard and that was on
Speaker 1: out of all. He's looking good though, he's looking good.
Speaker 1: Oh you got you gotta paper and pen now, all right,
Speaker 1: So here's what we're gonna do. Face. We're gonna I'll
Speaker 1: take this one to look test. Uh. Do you have
Speaker 1: it on down there? Do you need me to relay
Speaker 1: the questions to you here? You're talking? I got yours?
Speaker 1: All right, Let's see let's see. So here's what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do. We're gonna take it. It's about three and
Speaker 1: a half minute. It is times, so we gotta work
Speaker 1: efficiently here. You think we can make that happm all right,
Speaker 1: let's do it. Grab that pluma, Grab that bluma. Not
Speaker 1: the one that has the oil in it these days,
Speaker 1: that's a different kind. All right, here we go. First question,
Speaker 1: What word, when added to the beginning of mill and
Speaker 1: the end of chain, creates two other words? What word,
Speaker 1: when added to the beginning of mill and the end
Speaker 1: of chain, creates two other words? Okay, got it? Dang
Speaker 1: gang mill chain gang. All right, let's put it in.
Speaker 1: Let's see how we go. We still got three minutes.
Speaker 1: We already we already went, all right, Danny Cohn is
Speaker 1: a math one you're supposed to be go at this.
Speaker 1: What is the next number in the sequence? Four eleven
Speaker 1: fifty three? It's a pattern? It's a pattern. Old man's alright.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about it? Danny? I think he's right. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's do it. Let's do it. Next up. Whoo oh,
Speaker 1: all right. Charles was fired from his job last December.
Speaker 1: For four months, he was on unemployment, but he's going
Speaker 1: back to college in June. Which are the following sentences,
Speaker 1: joins the sequence of events correctly. I don't know if
Speaker 1: this is gonna happen for you, old man, because I
Speaker 1: would have to read out too many This is weird,
Speaker 1: all right, come on, come on, DANIELO though you got April. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go a for April. There we go. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: let's keep him moving. Um, it's another math one. This
Speaker 1: sounds like a high school math one. Bill and Jerry
Speaker 1: start at the same point. No, that was Tom and Jerry.
Speaker 1: Bill walks west, Jerry walks east for six meters. They
Speaker 1: both turned right. I'd walk three more meters. Who's closer
Speaker 1: to the north pole? This one? I know, the one
Speaker 1: that was going west, which is Bill. All right, let's
Speaker 1: go all right, next up. You're definitely helping us out.
Speaker 1: What is the average of all of the numbers between
Speaker 1: seventeen and fifty five? All of the inswers are all
Speaker 1: the whole numbers. They're the same thing, Danny, come up
Speaker 1: or numbers. What's the question, what's the average of all
Speaker 1: the numbers between seventeen and fifty five? We're moving on, though,
Speaker 1: my friend, because I've got that one. We're moving on
Speaker 1: because time is of the essence. Uh. The NT answer was,
Speaker 1: I believe thirty six um. A road construction crew is
Speaker 1: resurfacing the highway between points D and E. The distance
Speaker 1: is ninety three miles. The crews completed thirty five miles.
Speaker 1: If they do two point nine miles a day, how
Speaker 1: long will it take them to finish two point nine
Speaker 1: to day. That's what they're doing today, including their smoke
Speaker 1: bricks minus thirty five. It's like we're two weeks. Thank you,
Speaker 1: We're moving on. We're moving on. This is all math, hunt, Danny,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this one. The mic, the mic
Speaker 1: you know that was actually my fantasy team name three
Speaker 1: is the mic and it was good with Danny's gonna
Speaker 1: do this next question. Let me ask you something, old man.
Speaker 1: Do you think this matters for a quarterback in a while?
Speaker 1: I don't think about it for anything. It's the reason
Speaker 1: they do just show embarrassed the athletes everything handed to
Speaker 1: them their entire lives. Why do you think they released
Speaker 1: the numbers so that we know that Gary fencerk got
Speaker 1: a perfect score, or that we know that um um
Speaker 1: um um uh a quarterback in Tampa Bay out three.
Speaker 1: He said, you think it's public shaming, Let's see how
Speaker 1: they handle public shaming. Knock them off their peg of
Speaker 1: you stupid, But I have a good quarterback and saying,
Speaker 1: what do you think are the attributes that matter? Then
Speaker 1: if it's not this wonder lick stuff back in your day,
Speaker 1: you know when you were doing it, you know, searching
Speaker 1: for Charlie and whatnot. You have to have a couple
Speaker 1: of pick up football games back in your day or
Speaker 1: even struck me how I said, I had been to
Speaker 1: Korean Vietnam. But it's fification, always different stuff. Um No,
Speaker 1: I think if you're gonna be a quarterback very similar
Speaker 1: to a guy in the front lines, you think quickly
Speaker 1: on your feet. You gotta be able to, you know,
Speaker 1: change things as the defense presents, maybe different things to you,
Speaker 1: and you can't panic. The biggest problem you know what
