Speaker 1: keeping it so hot that we sweat steam and I
Speaker 1: got a great show for you on a Wednesday. Okay.
Speaker 1: First of all, Gencarlos Stanton did not hit a home
Speaker 1: run today. Okay, I want to let that be known.
Speaker 1: The Marlins have already played, so the streak is over,
Speaker 1: but it seems like he was trying to hit one
Speaker 1: on our show for the entire week. He did not
Speaker 1: go yard today and picking up on something we talked
Speaker 1: about yesterday, it sounds like the Marlins are willing to
Speaker 1: engage in trade conversations with other teams about gen Carlos Stanton.
Speaker 1: That's another shot called by speeds of fitting statistician we're
Speaker 1: gonna get into today. I'm gonna give you news and
Speaker 1: notes from around the league. I'm also going to talk
Speaker 1: about a couple of different ways where the NFL continues
Speaker 1: to be tone deaf on what their players want and
Speaker 1: the kind of the brand that they are putting out there.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about their policies on cleats. We're gonna discuss
Speaker 1: their policy see on pain management and incredibly powerful testimonial
Speaker 1: from Eugene Monroe, former offensive lineman for the Ravens, that
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into a little bit about how he
Speaker 1: is managing the pain he has one year after retiring
Speaker 1: from the NFL. As you know, we're putting the spotlight
Speaker 1: on a different team every day as we get into
Speaker 1: fantasy football, and the buzz continues to be palpable. We
Speaker 1: are in the a f C South all week long.
Speaker 1: We continue today with the Indianapolis Colts. The question out
Speaker 1: there really is will Andrew be up all night to
Speaker 1: get lucky or will he be okay for Week one
Speaker 1: Week two pup list. This is what we need to know,
Speaker 1: and it's such a big issue to be quite honest,
Speaker 1: that I have a new poll up. We haven't done
Speaker 1: this for any other team so far in our previews.
Speaker 1: We got a poll question up there right now about
Speaker 1: the season win total for the Colts. It's currently at
Speaker 1: eight and a half, right, But one of the options
Speaker 1: I have is should they take the line down? Does
Speaker 1: Andrew luck matter that much to the Colts? I think so,
Speaker 1: and that will be clear to you as well when
Speaker 1: we talk about who you need to fade on the
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, because absolutely they are all fool gazey as
Speaker 1: you know. Also, we are crowning the best sports movie
Speaker 1: of all time this summer right here on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: Two of the four tickets to the final four have
Speaker 1: been punched. White men can't jump, representing basketball. We've got
Speaker 1: Rocky also as well that has gotten in there tonight.
Speaker 1: We have the number one seed in the football region Rudy,
Speaker 1: but it's up against the Cinderella story of Varsity Blues.
Speaker 1: You can get on at F and T s Y Radio,
Speaker 1: at Spitting Speeds on Twitter and make your voice heard.
Speaker 1: We're gonna come on right back. We're gonna talk football
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, some societal issues around football. When
Speaker 1: we come back, it's the Fantasy Freestyle right here on
Speaker 1: the award winning Fantasy sports radio network, Let's Go In.
Speaker 1: Scott Angle predicted an impressive second season from Melvin Gordon.
Speaker 1: Jake Seeley recommended Jordan Howard, Bobby McMahon forecasting at JAGI Breakthrough.
Speaker 1: George Kurtz saw a big year coming from Matt Ryan

Speaker 1: have to use my a K. I'd have to say
Speaker 1: it was a good day. Any day that you are
Speaker 1: listening to the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio
Speaker 1: Network is clearly a good day. Big shout out to
Speaker 1: ice Cube. With that Big three league he's got going
Speaker 1: on this summer, I would say it's pretty successful. It
Speaker 1: has taken some of the share. Remember we were talking
Speaker 1: about that when my man the basketball corresponding. Big shout
Speaker 1: out to Don Burns now work in the mornings. I
Speaker 1: miss you, Donnie Burns. Stay, what's up to your boy
Speaker 1: speeds the spitting statistician when you can. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get into it. I gotta give you some news and
Speaker 1: notes from around the league before we get into my
Speaker 1: reasons why the NFL is tone death completely. All right? Uh?
Speaker 1: In Major League Baseball, tonight, Mariners third baseman Kyle Seeger
Speaker 1: is once again going to miss a game. This is
Speaker 1: his second game in a row missing with the flu.
Speaker 1: It's not a big deal. He's day to day. He
Speaker 1: should be just back and fine going into the weekend.
Speaker 1: Also of note, Nationals outfielder Jason Worth. It looks like
Speaker 1: he's going to start a rehab assignment over the weekend
Speaker 1: coming back from that foot injury. He's been out since
Speaker 1: early June. It's been over two months and that would
Speaker 1: be a big help to the Nationals. Remember, Bryce Harper
Speaker 1: is going to miss some time. Worth was successful in
Speaker 1: that two hole of the lineup for a while, so
Speaker 1: keep an eye on the rehab of Jason Worth. Also
Speaker 1: keep an eye on this. This could be a nice
Speaker 1: little value for some people in season long leagues. At
Speaker 1: the end of the season. Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heeney
Speaker 1: looks like he is going to make his season debut
Speaker 1: and return from Tommy John surgery after fourteen months on
Speaker 1: the shelf. It looks like he is set to start
Speaker 1: for the Angels on Friday. If you need a little
Speaker 1: bit uh in season long, this may be someone to
Speaker 1: keep an eye on on the waiver wire. Also, as
Speaker 1: I mentioned, Giancarlo Stanton last night hit his forty fourth
Speaker 1: home run of the season. Didn't go yard today, but
Speaker 1: it is still as high as you are going to
Speaker 1: get if the Marlins want to try to flip him
Speaker 1: or trade him. And we get reports today that the
Speaker 1: Marlins are willing to engage in trade talk for the
Speaker 1: slugger With ten in years and two hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: five million dollars still left on his deal. There is
Speaker 1: still news though in the middle of the week around
Speaker 1: the NFL as well. Okay, so there are some keeople
Speaker 1: that I gotta give you an update on. First his
Speaker 1: eagle is running back Ryan Matthews. Remember I told you
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the week he was gonna go
Speaker 1: to Philly and as soon as he can clear physical
Speaker 1: he would be cut. Well guess what he got cut
Speaker 1: after his physical. That clears four million dollars of cap
Speaker 1: space for the Philadelphia Eagles. I do think Ryan Matthews
Speaker 1: will latch on somewhere, but where that is keep it.
Speaker 1: Tune to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network hashtag shot called
Speaker 1: by your boy Speeds the fitting statistician. Ravens wide receiver
Speaker 1: Brichard Perriman, he has a big time hamstring strain. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be out for it looks like two two more weeks.
Speaker 1: They don't know if he is going to be ready
Speaker 1: for Week one. Remember I continue to fade this Baltimore
Speaker 1: Ravens offense. They are not dynamic in my opinion, and Perriman,
Speaker 1: he's been injury riddled as well, does not hurt help
Speaker 1: their cause. On the flip side, though, Dolphins running back
Speaker 1: Jed g I E Has gotten out of the concussion protocol.
Speaker 1: He has been cleared and ready for contact already. So
Speaker 1: it's good to see that J. G I E Is
Speaker 1: out of the cold dark quiet room and cleared of
Speaker 1: the protocol. Bucks beat reporter is actually now saying that O. J. Howard,
Speaker 1: the rookie tight end, is going to be more of
Speaker 1: a blocking tight end early on. Remember I've said this before.
Speaker 1: Tight end is the hardest position for rookies to pick up.
Speaker 1: Why because they have to know the entire route tree
Speaker 1: for the receivers, and they also have to know all
Speaker 1: the blocking schemes that go along with being a tight end.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of stuff for tight ends to learn
Speaker 1: early on. I've said stick with Camin Braid. I think
Speaker 1: he is going to be the Bucks tight end to own,
Speaker 1: especially early in the season. O J. Howard and meet
Speaker 1: to me is completely overvalued going in eleventh round of drafts.
Speaker 1: Right now. Tomorrow began's Week two of the preseason. Okay,
Speaker 1: and so I'm gonna be telling you what I'm looking
Speaker 1: for in all those games on tomorrow's show. One thing
Speaker 1: to know already, though, J Cutler smoking J will be
Speaker 1: under center for the Miami Dolphins as they take on
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. Remember how great of a start Mitchell
Speaker 1: Trabinsky had in his debut yesterday. Well beat reporters in
Speaker 1: Chicago still saying that Mike Glennan, remember he who signed
Speaker 1: the three year, fifty four million dollar contract in the
Speaker 1: off season, is quote unquote still the heavy favorite to
Speaker 1: start for the Chicago Beers. However, there is buzz in camp.
Speaker 1: Somebody to look out is their tight end rookie Adam Schheen. Okay,
Speaker 1: they are saying that he's gonna quote unquote a big
Speaker 1: part of the offense. And if you remember, they've got
Speaker 1: Marcus Wheaton down. A lot of people are high on
Speaker 1: guys like Cameron Meredith, but maybe there is opportunity for
Speaker 1: a new quarterback to have the security blanket of Adam Sheheen.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you there are a lot of tight end
Speaker 1: sleepers I like. Even if you listen to this network,
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, you hear about guys like Shaheen.
Speaker 1: You hear about guys like Austin Hooper on the Braves.
Speaker 1: Hear about my guy on the New York Football Jets,
Speaker 1: Austin Safari and Jenkins. Even guys like you know, Hunter
Speaker 1: Henry Jack Doyle, who we're gonna talk a little bit
Speaker 1: more about when we get into the Indianapolis Colts a
Speaker 1: little bit late are on. And also, as you know,
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys running back, has officially appealed his six
Speaker 1: game suspension. You gotta keep a close eye on this
Speaker 1: where it's going to play out. Okay, remember Tom Brady
Speaker 1: pushed this back for a full year. There has been
Speaker 1: a year of investigating this. Now with the appeal literally
Speaker 1: in this season two thousand seventeen, Ezekiel Elliott may play
Speaker 1: all sixteen games. He may have six getting suspended. The
Speaker 1: suspension may go down to four or even less. Keep
Speaker 1: an eye out on this situation. So what you need
Speaker 1: to do is download the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app.
Speaker 1: This way you could always stay up to date with everybody.
Speaker 1: My man Corey Parks in the Fantasy Executive the g
Speaker 1: Tony Senkada, my man Greg Slussman, my guy Mike Florio
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Best Friends Forever. They will tell you what
Speaker 1: you need to know when it comes to the Zeke
Speaker 1: suspension and everything else. All right, I'll let you guys
Speaker 1: know that there were a couple of things that struck
Speaker 1: me recently about the NFL being toned deaf. The first
Speaker 1: of all is that they are going to, they say,
Speaker 1: relax some of the regulations around the cleats that players
Speaker 1: are now allowed to wear. Remember last year, DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: got fined, a couple of other guys got fined for
Speaker 1: wearing the Yeazy s. The Kanye West sues. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and they're going to relax these restrictions.
Speaker 1: But check this out, only for pregame warmups. I think
Speaker 1: that's absolutely ridiculous. But here's the statement from the NFL.
Speaker 1: Players will be allowed to wear more personalized cleats for
Speaker 1: pregame prior to warmups, and will have greater greater flexibility
Speaker 1: on cleat color worn in the games. During pregame warmups,
Speaker 1: players can use any design they want, so long as
Speaker 1: it doesn't depict commercialized or trademark logos. The cleats also
Speaker 1: cannot have anything that would be deemed offensive or express
Speaker 1: political views. I think that's very interesting. Remember they're dealing
Speaker 1: with this stuff on the anthem people making their statements,
Speaker 1: so they're saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, you could be funky,
Speaker 1: you could wear those yeasys, you can wear some different colors,
Speaker 1: but just still can't have political views when you're on,
Speaker 1: you know, the shield of the NFL. I thought it
Speaker 1: was also interesting. Ocho Sinko chad Ocho Sinko Johnson tweeted
Speaker 1: asking if he could get his money back. Remember he
Speaker 1: was fine for wearing like gold plated cleats back in
Speaker 1: the day, so he he hopped on that on social media.
Speaker 1: I thought that was funny. But once again the NFL
Speaker 1: missing the boat on the ability of their players to
Speaker 1: express themselves. And I think that is very important to note.
Speaker 1: So even when they're going far, they're not going far enough.
Speaker 1: I mentioned though that Eugene Monroe. There's another, uh now
Speaker 1: another testimonial. This guy wrote an article on the Players
Speaker 1: Tribune where it's you know, the athletes speaking from the
Speaker 1: heart and as themselves, and he talked about how he
Speaker 1: retired a full year ago, but he's still managing his
Speaker 1: physical condition and how it's now a part of his
Speaker 1: daily routine and something that he thinks will be that
Speaker 1: way forever. He went. He went so deep as to say,
Speaker 1: you know, like he wonders which like seventeen power, which
Speaker 1: is the name of a famous run play that they
Speaker 1: ran in Baltimore, which seventeen power is responsible for every
Speaker 1: twinge in his neck, every tweak in his back. What
Speaker 1: caused the headaches? You know, what practice drill where he
Speaker 1: was going man up with another defensive lineman causes the headaches.
Speaker 1: Which time when he got floored and had his head
Speaker 1: bang against the turf is what causes his sensitivity to light.
Speaker 1: You know. He talked about how he saw Trey Thomas
Speaker 1: in his rookie year, who was kind of a veteran
Speaker 1: at that point, and saw the way he walked and
Speaker 1: wondered if that would be ever him, you know. But
Speaker 1: was also interesting is that Eugene Monroe is proud to
Speaker 1: say that he is one free of pharmaceutical drugs, you know,
Speaker 1: and that he's achieved being able to kind of live
Speaker 1: because he's integrated cannabis into his lifestyle. Remember I said
Speaker 1: last week how the NFL and the NFL p A
Speaker 1: are looking at me. We now study the effects of marijuana.
Speaker 1: But this was again the NFL being toned deaf when
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell says that it's still a dangerous and addicting habit.
Speaker 1: He's doing this is he you know, he talks about
Speaker 1: Eugi Monroe. This is talks about how he was given
Speaker 1: vicodin before every practice, how NFL players lined up for
Speaker 1: toal doll shots, and now how this is still the
Speaker 1: impact he has. He says that in this year that
Speaker 1: he's been retired, how he meets with NFL players who
Speaker 1: now want to be able to have cannabis oils, want
Speaker 1: to be able to use this, But no, they're gonna
Speaker 1: get a four game suspension. You can still in the
Speaker 1: NFL get a four games suspension for failing a marijuana test.
Speaker 1: That is longer than the suspension Josh Brown got for
Speaker 1: admitting to domestic violence against his wife on multiple occasions.
Speaker 1: This is how they have it wrong. And then also ESPN,
Speaker 1: their biggest sponsor, when they were doing their fantasy football marathon,
Speaker 1: did a little piece on auction drafts that Odell Beckham
Speaker 1: had something to say about that. Kevin Durant had something
Speaker 1: to say about It's very interesting when you're auctioning off
Speaker 1: African American players. Go watch the movie Get Out recently,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk part about the history as well. It
Speaker 1: was a little unnerving at work. At best case, it
Speaker 1: was in poor taste. In worst case, it was a
Speaker 1: lot more. We'll talk about it some more on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Ezekiel, Elliott,
Speaker 1: Carl Anthony, Talents, Corey Seeger. Those are the rookies of
Speaker 1: the year. Much like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, the
Speaker 1: fastest growing fantasy sports network on radio is completely Free seven.
Speaker 1: Listen to us live at F ANDC s Y dot com,
Speaker 1: slash Radio or dowlow the app right now in the
Speaker 1: Google place to our core on isilands. What you'll fit
Speaker 1: to see this Dave Martinez, speeds and spitting statistician. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Before we went to the break,
Speaker 1: you know, I was telling you things about how like
Speaker 1: the NFL has mismanaged pain management, and now how all
Speaker 1: these retired guys are coming out with talking about I'm
Speaker 1: talking about how they're mismanaging the idea of how to
Speaker 1: be creative when it comes to wearing cleats, you know.
Speaker 1: And also I wanted to touch on this because ESPN
Speaker 1: did this uh Fantasy Football marathon over the weekend, and
Speaker 1: one of the things they did, they did a segment
Speaker 1: of like an auction draft. But it just did not
Speaker 1: play well at all. Okay, it really especially when you
Speaker 1: juxtaposed it this weekend about what was going down in
Speaker 1: Charlottesville and then when you talk about, you know, just
Speaker 1: where we are in this kind tree. You know, they
Speaker 1: literally had the like faces of players up on sticks
Speaker 1: holding them up as an auction. It looked very much
Speaker 1: like a scene from the recent movie get Out. And
Speaker 1: if you know what I'm talking about, you know it
Speaker 1: was really alarming. Odell Beckham tweeted out very right with
Speaker 1: a link to it. Speechless. Kevin Durant said on Twitter
Speaker 1: and I quote bommass e FPN running out of ideas.
Speaker 1: A lot of people were rubbed the wrong way about this,
Speaker 1: and ESPN has come out with a statement and I
Speaker 1: quote auction drafts are a common part of fantasy football,
Speaker 1: and ESPN segments replicated an auction draft with a diverse
Speaker 1: slate of top professional football players. We understand the optics
Speaker 1: could have been portrayed as offensive, and we apologize. I
Speaker 1: think the context was absolutely irrelevant. It was ignorant in
Speaker 1: its presentation, and uh, you know, count on Dan Martinez
Speaker 1: speis the spitting statistician to call someone out on it. However,
Speaker 1: I do want to keep it moving because we got
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on, and I want to
Speaker 1: get into one of my team by team previews right
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and we're talking
Speaker 1: about the Indianapolis Colts. Listen. I said it at the
Speaker 1: top of the show. I said it when we had
Speaker 1: that poll question up about the Indianapolis Colts. This is
Speaker 1: going to come down completely to Andrew Luck. Okay, we've
Speaker 1: been hearing that he's okay. We've been hearing he'll be
Speaker 1: fine for week one. We were hearing that he was
Speaker 1: definitely not going to be on the pup list for
Speaker 1: week one. Now we're hearing that, you know, GM and
Speaker 1: the owner can't unequivocably say if he'll be ready for
Speaker 1: week one, and now we're here and oh, but it'll
Speaker 1: be okay because they think they could beat the Rams
Speaker 1: in week one. Anyway, we're hearing that they're gonna be careful.
Speaker 1: This has a tremendous effect because, honestly, Andrew Luck is
Speaker 1: that good. He was QB four last year while he
Speaker 1: was battling injury. It in forty yards, thirty one touchdowns
Speaker 1: and thirteen interceptions. The other thing about Andrew Luck when
Speaker 1: it comes to fantasy football is his rushing ability goes
Speaker 1: under valued at times. He had three hundred and forty
Speaker 1: one rushing yards he played in fifteen games. That was
Speaker 1: still good enough for seventh among quarterbacks. There's easily a
Speaker 1: way that if he plays sixteen games, he is a
Speaker 1: top four or five quarterback in terms of rushing yards,
Speaker 1: and that can really help you out. However, I am
Speaker 1: not liking the news I'm hearing on Andrew Luck. I
Speaker 1: think it is officially time to sound the alarm. If
Speaker 1: you listen to the fantasy freestyle, you know I'm not
Speaker 1: spending up for these top four or five quarterbacks anyway.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna be on my team's I'm gonna want
Speaker 1: to get quarterbacks, you know, ten through twelve. I'm hoping
Speaker 1: it would be the last person in my draft to
Speaker 1: get their first quarterback. And if I wind up with
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers or Matthew Stafford or Cam Newton, I am
Speaker 1: happy with that. So I'm not gonna have Andrew Luck
Speaker 1: an way. The one thing I want to let you
Speaker 1: guys know, though, is this can be one of the
Speaker 1: only situations where I say it's possible to stray from
Speaker 1: your draft strategy if Andrew Luck falls like a cement
Speaker 1: block and he's still there in round six, in round seven,
Speaker 1: I think at that point you may have to pull
Speaker 1: the trigger because you want to then have him when
Speaker 1: he's back and healthy for the Fantasy playoffs. I can
Speaker 1: get behind someone wanting to do that, because you can
Speaker 1: still have say, Eli Manning for the first couple of games.
Speaker 1: You can still have Matthew Stafford for the first couple
Speaker 1: of games and be fine. But Andrew Luck. You really
Speaker 1: got to keep an eye on it, on it. But
Speaker 1: remember the culture, the same team that once said the
Speaker 1: same kind of things about Peyton Manning when he had
Speaker 1: a neck injury and then he turned out to miss
Speaker 1: the entire season. My man, Corey Parson had him at
Speaker 1: quarterback five, but I don't think that's gonna be the case.
Speaker 1: I had him at quarterback four. But I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: an updated rankings available for you guys next week, and sir,
Speaker 1: only Andrew Luck is going to sink like a stone
Speaker 1: as we go to the running back position. However, listen,
Speaker 1: Frank gore Man, listen. I want to tip my cap
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy style to Frank Gore. I don't
Speaker 1: think you know this, but he was running back twelve
Speaker 1: last year. Okay, running back twelve in his age thirty
Speaker 1: three season over a thousand yards one thousand, twenty five yards.
Speaker 1: You also had thirty eight catches in two seventy seven
Speaker 1: yards in the passing game. More importantly, let's take a
Speaker 1: step back. Frank Gore is a Hall of Fame running back.
Speaker 1: Let's take a step back. Frank Gore is eighth all
Speaker 1: time in rushing. He has thirteen thousand and sixty five yards.
Speaker 1: The seven that are ahead of him are all in
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. The five that are behind him
Speaker 1: and are eligible are all in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: He has thirteen hundred yards on the next UH most
Speaker 1: active player, which is Adrian Peterson. This guy, with his
Speaker 1: thirteen thousand and sixty five yards, that's eighth all time.
Speaker 1: He is one thousand and thirty seven yards away from
Speaker 1: passing Curtis Martin for fourth all time, and then could
Speaker 1: finish this season fourth all time, behind only Barry Sanders,
Speaker 1: Walter Payton, and Emmett Smith. He's entering his thirteenth season
Speaker 1: at age thirty four. I just want to tip my
Speaker 1: cap to Frank Gore. Here's the thing though, This Andrew
Speaker 1: Luck news impacts Frank Gore because if you've got Scott
Speaker 1: Tolzien under center, then your safeties are gonna cheat up
Speaker 1: a little bit. You're gonna put more men in the box.
Speaker 1: And I think that is a problem this year for
Speaker 1: Frank Gore. Everybody's you know, production will fall if Andrew
Speaker 1: Luck is not there behind Frank Gore, though, which could
Speaker 1: be something you need to look at. Because Gore is
Speaker 1: entering his age thirty fourth season. It is possible. We
Speaker 1: know it is a war of attrition at the running
Speaker 1: back position. We're talking about Robert Turban and we're talking
Speaker 1: about Marlon Mack. Marlon Mack is an interesting guy in
Speaker 1: deep leagues. In in dynasty leagues, you know Frank Gore
Speaker 1: is not gonna be there forever. This rookie out of
Speaker 1: UCF did get a little bit of buzz in training
Speaker 1: camp already. To keep an eye out on Marlon Mack.
Speaker 1: If you're looking to be in a dynasty league or
Speaker 1: an incredibly deep league, and you may want to handcuff
Speaker 1: Frank Gore. As we go to the wide receiver position,
Speaker 1: it's the same narrative. Okay, I'm gonna be like a
Speaker 1: broken record talking about the Indianapolis Colts. I love t
Speaker 1: Y Hilton. T Y Hilton was wide out five last
Speaker 1: year on the Player Raider. T Y Hilton led the
Speaker 1: NFL in receiving yards last year with forty eight to
Speaker 1: go along with nine D one catches and six touchdowns.
Speaker 1: He was he was Corey Parson the Fantasy Executives. He
Speaker 1: was his fourth ranked wide receiver. He thought t Y
Speaker 1: Hilton was a back end of the first round, but
Speaker 1: with Andrew Luck questionable and Scott Tolzen under center, I
Speaker 1: say you have to drop t Y Hilton. Now. T
Speaker 1: Yon's available at the end of round two or in
Speaker 1: round three, you gotta snatch him up. I understand that
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton is also known around NFL circles for
Speaker 1: literally being the best in the NFL of getting into
Speaker 1: and out of breaks. It's not only about your forty time, Okay,
Speaker 1: John Ross with his four point two two. It's about
Speaker 1: being sudden. It's about being getting into and out of
Speaker 1: breaks to create that separation from dbs and other cornerbacks
Speaker 1: in the league say t Y Hilton is actually the
Speaker 1: best in the league. At doing that, So I think
Speaker 1: it's important and they'll still get open, but it's a
Speaker 1: big difference if you've got Scott Tolzine, especially in the
Speaker 1: first quarter of the season, getting you balls. The same
Speaker 1: could be said from my man Dante Moncrief Florio, I
Speaker 1: love Dante Moncrief. Dante Moncrief has been on my teams
Speaker 1: in the past. I even named one of my fantasy
Speaker 1: football teams after Dante Moncrief had that Jamaican accent. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Everything I r I said Yamon
Speaker 1: yaman Clief, yaman Crief, all about Dante Moncrief. I had
Speaker 1: him as wide receiver twenty six in my rankings. This
Speaker 1: is the guy that Andrew look looks too in the
Speaker 1: red zone and only nine games last year, Dante Moncrief
Speaker 1: yaman Creef had seven touchdowns. This is a guy who
Speaker 1: is the ex outside wide receiver that Andrew Luck loves.
Speaker 1: This is a touch down receiver, but not with Scott Tolzine.
Speaker 1: This guy is right in the same range as other
Speaker 1: stud you know, second wide receivers. Okay, Corey Parson had
Speaker 1: him as wide out twenty six. He had many sanders
Speaker 1: as wide out thirty. He had DeShawn Jackson as wide
Speaker 1: out thirty two. He had Brandon Marshall as wide out
Speaker 1: twenty eight, Jamison Crowder as twenty seven, even Davante Adams
Speaker 1: into twenties. This is Dante Moncrief is in the conversation
Speaker 1: for the best wide out two in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: but not with Scott Tolzine under center. I'm sorry. The
Speaker 1: same can be said at tight end Jack Doyle. There's
Speaker 1: no Dwight Dwyne Allen this year. Maybe you believe in
Speaker 1: Eric Swope, I personally do not, and I think Jack
Speaker 1: Doyle is primed to be a rising, ascending tight end.
Speaker 1: He was tight and thirteen last year with fifty nine catches,
Speaker 1: five four yards, five touchdowns. My boy Mike Clay, who
Speaker 1: always gets it right, thinks that he can get over
Speaker 1: sixty catches, over six yards this year, over six touchdowns.
Speaker 1: But not with Scott Tolzen under center. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: Andrew luck is such an important player. He once was
Speaker 1: the highest played player in the NFL when he redid
Speaker 1: his deal. I think he is such an important player
Speaker 1: that I believe Vegas and sports Book need to take
Speaker 1: the season win total for the Indianapolis Colts off the board.
Speaker 1: That's why it is an option on a poll at
Speaker 1: F and T s Y Radio at spitting speeds. I say, though,
Speaker 1: because I don't believe even Andrew Luck. I love him
Speaker 1: as a player, I don't believe in his health right now.
Speaker 1: I think they messed it up. I think you need
Speaker 1: to if the line is up, you need to take
Speaker 1: the under. This is a division where teams like the
Speaker 1: Texans and the Titans and even the Jaguars are ascending.
Speaker 1: I think the Colts mismanaged their window when they were
Speaker 1: in the a f C title game, doing things like
Speaker 1: drafting Philip doors Set in the first round when you
Speaker 1: already had studs at wide out. I say, regardless, take
Speaker 1: the under right now, it's at eight and a half.
Speaker 1: Take the under on the Indianapolis Colt. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go through the schedule. We're gonna get Mike
Speaker 1: Florios thoughts on this Andrew Luck situation. And my man
Speaker 1: Gabe moran SE's responding to our poll as well. We'll
Speaker 1: see what he has to say. Dropping stats over beats.

Speaker 1: winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm your man, Dane Martinez,
Speaker 1: feeds the spitting statistician holding you down on a Wednesday,
Speaker 1: whether you're listening on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, whether
Speaker 1: you're listening live on tune in Radio or on I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. I'm so glad to have your audience. I
Speaker 1: got my man Mike Florio with me on the ones
Speaker 1: and tools, keeping it so hot that we s what steam. Mike,
Speaker 1: I want to bring you in for this segment, talk
Speaker 1: a little bit more about the Colts, and then, as
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna put the fun and functional Sports
Speaker 1: Radio sneak preview guys. The movie poll right now has
Speaker 1: literally flipped back and forth with the leader during the
Speaker 1: course of this show, and it's right now. We're definitely
Speaker 1: gonna get into that in a little bit. But Flory,
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, um, as it comes to
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, right, I just don't. I just don't. Um.
Speaker 1: I don't want to take a chance on this. I
Speaker 1: don't want to take a chance on having a guy
Speaker 1: like Dante Moncrief who's connected to Luck, and then have
Speaker 1: Luck missed the first four games. I don't want to
Speaker 1: have a guy like Jack Doyle as my sleeper tight
Speaker 1: end that I actually draft and then have Andrew Luck
Speaker 1: missed four games. What are your thoughts about the Andrew
Speaker 1: Luckluck injury and it's impact not only on Luck, but
Speaker 1: on the rest of the Colt's weapon bits, on the
Speaker 1: cults outlook themselves. I think it's one of the hardest
Speaker 1: things when you're doing your fantasy football rankings, because right
Speaker 1: now I had I had Andrew looked forth, I've lowered
Speaker 1: him down to like seven or eight. I've lowered Ta
Speaker 1: Hilton a bit, Dante Moncrief a bit. But but how
Speaker 1: low is too low exactly, like I can't. I still
Speaker 1: have t Y Hilton like eleven, and I can't put
Speaker 1: him any lower because we have no actual report that
Speaker 1: Luck is going to miss time right now. It's just
Speaker 1: everything is just you hear conflicting reports every single day,
Speaker 1: So it's it's a situation I want to avoid. But
Speaker 1: in rankings and stuff, I feel like you can't lower
Speaker 1: them too much, right, because like you talk about lowering
Speaker 1: them too much. Right, Let's play a little name game here, Florio.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, with t Y Hilton, you're dropping him down?
Speaker 1: Are you dropping him down to the point where you're
Speaker 1: like that more safe? Comfortable? Why don't want a guy
Speaker 1: like Doug Baldwin is better than t Y Hilton? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I actually I believe I have Doug Baldwin higher, especially
Speaker 1: in the PPR. What about if we get worried that
Speaker 1: my man DeAndre Hopkins will have some targets from Tom Savage.
Speaker 1: Could he get out of t Y Hilton or now?
Speaker 1: As of now, I haven't, But if Andrew look misses Tom,
Speaker 1: yeah I could see that. Yeah. What about a guy
Speaker 1: like a Marii Cooper. I've I have bumped Cooper ahead
Speaker 1: of him. Yes see, That's what I'm saying. It's so hard,
Speaker 1: and the names you're still down there at are like
Speaker 1: so still explosive and safe. Why risk it with a
Speaker 1: guy like t Y Hilton. Hey, Floria, Let's go through
Speaker 1: their schedule real quick, because I'm looking at their first
Speaker 1: like six games, and there's a few games there that
Speaker 1: I think obviously Andrew Luck being there will matter or not.
Speaker 1: You know what, In Week four they go to Seattle,
Speaker 1: so maybe they lose that game anyway. Week five they
Speaker 1: host San Francisco, maybe they win that game anyway. But
Speaker 1: week to hosting the Arizons on the Cardinals. Week three
Speaker 1: hosting the Cleveland Browns. Week one in the opener, going
Speaker 1: all the way out to l A to take on
Speaker 1: the Rams. You know they got away contest at division
Speaker 1: rival Tennessee. This could really impact the Colts entire season.
Speaker 1: Where do you think ultimately Luck will be back and
Speaker 1: what do you think ultimately on their season win total number?
Speaker 1: I honestly don't think you can give an accurate projection
Speaker 1: as to when do you think Andrew Luck is gonna
Speaker 1: be back? Because one day it's oh, they don't expect
Speaker 1: him to miss any time. One day it's oh home
Speaker 1: this week one one day, he's gonna be on the pub.
Speaker 1: We've heard every sort of scenario you can hear from
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck early on. I will say this, though, I
Speaker 1: agree with you that I think they're over unders should
Speaker 1: be pulled strictly because their defenses is pretty bad, and
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck oftentimes has to overcome that and put up
Speaker 1: a lot of points. If you take Andrew Luck off
Speaker 1: the board, I think they're they They're possibly one of
Speaker 1: the worst teams in the NFL. Yeah, I don't disagree
Speaker 1: with you. I mean that's why I'm saying to people
Speaker 1: right now what you still can bet the under on
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. I'm gonna tell you, I think this
Speaker 1: is like an eight and eight, nine and seven kind
Speaker 1: of team, even with Andrew Luck there, Okay, I told you.
Speaker 1: I like the way that the Titans are improving Exotic
Speaker 1: smash Mouth. We're gonna preview them tomorrow. I like what
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans are doing with their top three defense.
Speaker 1: I even like improvements to maybe be made in Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: especially if they can get away from borderstal service. Blake
Speaker 1: Bortles check it out. My man, Gabe Morante as well
Speaker 1: the host Next Hour on the Fantasy Sports r DIO
Speaker 1: network with Red Heat and Rage. He also thinks the same,
Speaker 1: says it all depends on Luck's health, but they look
Speaker 1: like in eight and eight team. I said, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: surprised it's still up on the board, he says, though
Speaker 1: he wants to give him a little credit, saying that
Speaker 1: they drafted well on defense. I love the first round
Speaker 1: pick out of Ohio State, Malik Hooker. I think in
Speaker 1: the mold of Earl Thomas, he is an elite side
Speaker 1: behind the sideline coverage, deep end safety, and will allow
Speaker 1: the calls to do a lot more things. Maybe they're
Speaker 1: on the right on the upswing there with the defense,
Speaker 1: but I still think they're behind all of the other
Speaker 1: defenses in this division. I say take the under, but
Speaker 1: I would be very careful about this line. Dan, I
Speaker 1: have a question for fire Away brother man. So you
Speaker 1: you obviously you pay attention to the lines in Vegas.
Speaker 1: If Andrew Luck was to get hurt, obviously their line
Speaker 1: would drop. Do you think it bodes well for Andrew?
Speaker 1: Look that they haven't dropped the line, Like, could Vegas
Speaker 1: know something that the public don't. That's a very interesting question. No,
Speaker 1: I think yeah, it could be right because what they do,
Speaker 1: generally speaking, as soon as injuries hit and things like that,
Speaker 1: they just take the line off the board. They would
Speaker 1: never want to be out there and have a liability
Speaker 1: that your professional gamblers and your sharps could really just
Speaker 1: pound right away, right like, for example, tomorrow, you know
Speaker 1: tomorrow we got games going on. Right if, for some reason,
Speaker 1: a huge star if we see Aaron Rodgersers go down
Speaker 1: with a non contact knee injury, Vegas is gonna respond
Speaker 1: lightning quick taking all the Packers lines off the board.
Speaker 1: The fact that they haven't could be good news for luck,
Speaker 1: but I would be surprised. I bet some places have
Speaker 1: in fact taken it down. There are some places where
Speaker 1: you can't get this bet. To be quite honest, I
Speaker 1: think you're ahead of the books if you find a
Speaker 1: place that still has this line up, because every day
Speaker 1: that goes by, it seems like the news gets worse
Speaker 1: and worse, and unfortunately Number twelve will not be up
Speaker 1: all night to get lucky. Hey, um, Mike, we also
Speaker 1: have a very close poll going up right now in
Speaker 1: the championship of the Football Movies Region. We've got the
Speaker 1: number one seed Rudy up against the number seven seed,
Speaker 1: Varsity Blues. I gotta tell you the truth. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you the truth. People always associate, you know, music
Speaker 1: movies with their own experience, right, They may kind of
Speaker 1: like what used to be called in school text to
Speaker 1: self connections. This was my movie. Varsity Blues was my
Speaker 1: movie in college. When I was up at Syracuse from
Speaker 1: O two. Um, this movie was there and me and
Speaker 1: my friends were This became kind of like an epic movie, alright,
Speaker 1: and we watched this all the time, not only for
Speaker 1: the whip cream bikini, although that did not hurt. But
Speaker 1: this is a movie that has a special place in
Speaker 1: my heart. We heard earlier in the week, Mike that
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers loves Varsity Blues himself. Now, Rudy is great,
Speaker 1: but we've heard that it is actually not historically accurate
Speaker 1: that Rudy did not get on the field in that way.
Speaker 1: So I'm considering that this may be an upset the Cinderella,
Speaker 1: a story of Varsity Blues could in fact continue. I
Speaker 1: am voting for Varsity Blues. Now. The first question here
Speaker 1: for you, Mike, is, um, have you seen these movies?
Speaker 1: I've seen Rudy. I have not seen Varsity Blues. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: I encourage you to see Varsity Blues. I think it's
Speaker 1: a great movie. So where are you going with this?
Speaker 1: I mean right now? You know, are you going with
Speaker 1: Rudy just because you've seen it before? It's a one seed?
Speaker 1: This vote right now is your vote could matter, Mike,
Speaker 1: where are you going with this one? Originally I was
Speaker 1: going to vote Rudy because it's the one that I've seen.
Speaker 1: But hearing how how near and dear to your heart
Speaker 1: Varsity Blue is, I'm going to vote for Varsity Blues. Okay,
Speaker 1: fair enough, there's another vote. Listen. I'm a lot. I'm
Speaker 1: lobbying over here. I'm lobbying. Yeah, and I do think
Speaker 1: it would be cool to see the Cinderella story as
Speaker 1: a seven seed continue. And we've got a lot of
Speaker 1: conversation going on on Twitter right now. Big shout out
Speaker 1: First the fantasy footballer at f ball seventy eight. He says, wait,
Speaker 1: I picked Rudy, but I completely forgot about Ali and
Speaker 1: the whip cream scene. Can I change my vote? And
Speaker 1: I told him I was like, listen, I even put
Speaker 1: the whip cream bikini in the poll. To have people remember,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to promote this and also my
Speaker 1: man Howie Balaban out there um at HR Balaband. We're
Speaker 1: gonna have Howie on I think on the Friday Show
Speaker 1: to break down the final four in this entire tournament,
Speaker 1: so big shout out to Howie. He says it's gonna
Speaker 1: be close, but in the end, the whip cream beats
Speaker 1: the underdog story and it's a more rewatchable movie for
Speaker 1: him at least. And right now, fifty two percent of
Speaker 1: the vote are going with the number seven seed Varsity Blues.
Speaker 1: It is still close, though, Florio, your vote could in
Speaker 1: fact swing the vote. So get out there and vote
Speaker 1: at F and T. S Wife Radio at Spitting Speeds

Speaker 1: you know what it is, your boy day Martinez speeds
Speaker 1: and spitting statistician coming back to you dropping stats over
Speaker 1: beats on the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. I got Mike Florio. This is my
Speaker 1: last day with you, mikey huh. We're gonna have Chris Pavona,
Speaker 1: the Bounty Hunter back on the Ones intunes this tomorrow.
Speaker 1: But it's been it's been great having you. Man. How
Speaker 1: have you enjoyed the thrill ride that is the Fantasy Freestyle? Thanks? Man,
Speaker 1: it's been fun. It's been a lot of fun. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you are welcome anytime, my friend, if you want to
Speaker 1: drop stats over beats. Let's talk about hard knocks real quick.
Speaker 1: We were talking about you know, we were talking off
Speaker 1: the air. Do you think this is real leadership from
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston or do you think they're just like producing
Speaker 1: it that way and it's contrived, edited that way. I mean,
Speaker 1: like listen, I like a lot of the things he's doing,
Speaker 1: but it sounded it seemed a little forced, you know,
Speaker 1: him going to every single player, but in the locker
Speaker 1: room before the game, being like, I got your back, man,
Speaker 1: I got your back. Him going to offensive linemen that
Speaker 1: were kind of like making jokes or whatever, being like, Yo, Ryan,
Speaker 1: our backup quarterback just got hurt. You need to be sullen,
Speaker 1: You need to be humble right now. You know all
Speaker 1: that stuff. Do you think that's really him or do
Speaker 1: you think a little bit of that is manufacturing? So
Speaker 1: I thought the old line talking to the old lineman
Speaker 1: was a little bit more real because that could be him.
Speaker 1: You know, he plays quarterback. He's relying on the old
Speaker 1: lineman and so he obviously one wants them playing their best.
Speaker 1: Who knows an injury one of those backup old lineman
Speaker 1: could be guarding blocking for him. I thought they're walking
Speaker 1: around the locker room saying I got your back to
Speaker 1: every player seemed a little forced. Now, maybe he wants
Speaker 1: to do and he's the face of the franchise. He
Speaker 1: wants these young guys compete for a spot to know
Speaker 1: he's even he's got you know, he supported them and everything,
Speaker 1: But I think it was a little forced for the camera.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. Also, at the very beginning
Speaker 1: of the episode, you know, they had the James Winston.
Speaker 1: I've always said if I when I have a child,
Speaker 1: I am going to make sure that that child has
Speaker 1: a four syllable name. Okay, my name works, Dane Martinez.
Speaker 1: How does it feel like to not be able to
Speaker 1: have that chant work for your name? Yeah, in my head,
Speaker 1: I just tried it out and it doesn't work. It
Speaker 1: doesn't work, man. And as you know, also, the big
Speaker 1: story was, as I said, Man, I called this that
Speaker 1: Roberto o'guire was gonna get cut because Nick Folk, my man,
Speaker 1: the Folk, he ro former Jet was the more consistent guy.
Speaker 1: They really made a big deal out of this, but
Speaker 1: you knew the writing was on the wall. Dirk Cutter said,
Speaker 1: you gotta hit from inside of fifty. They even showed
Speaker 1: like in the game, other players, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of a meaningless preseason game. They were watching
Speaker 1: Roberto kick. They kind of knew it was gonna be over.
Speaker 1: How do you think that scene played out? I thought
Speaker 1: it was it was Hey, I think they made a
Speaker 1: huge deal about a kicker or I understand they went
Speaker 1: out and they traded up up in the second round
Speaker 1: to get him. They thought he was gonna be something special.
Speaker 1: But again, it's a kicker. I think maybe if the
Speaker 1: camera wasn't there, they give him one more shot or something.
Speaker 1: I think they kind of gotta make the cuts though.
Speaker 1: They gotta get down to fifty three. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was painfully obvious to everybody. Know. Oh, I agree, but
Speaker 1: I it's just funny that you know it. It was
Speaker 1: like the highlight of the whole episode was focused on
Speaker 1: the kickers. You. I would have never thought they would
Speaker 1: get a whole episode of Hard Knocks focused primarily on kicking.
Speaker 1: I hear you, I hear you. I gotta tell you.
Speaker 1: They're trying to make Jamis Winston star. I think the
Speaker 1: real star of this show is Gerald McCoy. Yet another
Speaker 1: episode where McCoy was the man. I think it was
Speaker 1: great and very smart by the Bucks to bring in
Speaker 1: my man. The gun show ed Hockeyley to start talking
Speaker 1: about would things be fifteen yard penalties or not? But
Speaker 1: I thought it was a great scene with Gerald McCoy
Speaker 1: doing like a little butterfly dance with the stinky leg
Speaker 1: right right to him, being like, Yo, is this okay?
Speaker 1: Is this not okay? Keep an eye when McCoy makes
Speaker 1: a sack at some point this season. If he does
Speaker 1: that exact dance and it's like not not not at
Speaker 1: hockey Lee told me specifically that I could do that.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a little bit more about players celebrations
Speaker 1: because Josh Norman, the cornerback on the Washington football team,
Speaker 1: had some interesting things to say. We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: that tomorrow when my man Chris Bovona is back in
Speaker 1: that seat. But thank you so much, Florio for holding
Speaker 1: me down for the last four episodes. Okay, whether it
Speaker 1: be talking about you know, um, the New York Giants,
Speaker 1: the Mets lineup, or hard knocks in these movies. Had
Speaker 1: a great time with you. When it comes to this movie,
Speaker 1: get out and vote right now. There are eighteen hours left.
Speaker 1: I'm talking right now for the Cinderella Varsity Blues. Can
Speaker 1: Rudy make a comeback? We will tell you tomorrow And boy,
Speaker 1: I know Chris Bavona is gonna have something to say
Speaker 1: on this as well, but right now, it's your boy.
Speaker 1: Dane Martinez speeds the Spin Statistician another episode of the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle in the Books on the award winning fantasy
Speaker 1: sports radio network Sea. Tomorrow, people to
