We got some NFL stuff we 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.120 want to get into. I have something I'm doing on 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.600 Roto Experts in the morning seven and nine am. Right 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.600 here on this network. We're getting ready to release the 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.640 seatings and the brackets for the Face of Baseball. Another 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.120 kind of bracket contest we're gonna be doing over the 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:03.680 next couple of weeks. I'm gonna get my best friend 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.160 forever to chime in on that. I'm gonna tell you 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:11.560 also which positions, um you want to invest in for rookies, okay, 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.320 and which positions you don't because of their kind of 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.840 natural arc and curve. We're gonna be talking about that, 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.640 and you know we put the fun and functional sports content. Okay, 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:22.960 we got a rapping athlete to break down, I got 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.480 some other stories to share. We gotta pull question up 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.760 as well, Okay because check this out. I don't know 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:29.680 if you guys saw, but over the weekend there was 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.200 some stuff that went down in Dallas with the Dallas Cowboys. Okay, 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.560 First of all, wide receiver Terrence Williams gets gets arrested, 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:39.920 is drunk. He crashes his Lamborghini. Right, Um, remember when 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.280 I asked, like, which cowboy will be the second one 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.960 drafted after Ezekiel Elliott? People might have guessed Terrence Williams 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.200 because he was slated to be like the number one 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.079 wide receiver. There. They bring in Alan Hearns, They got 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.919 Cold Beasley there, right, but he was slated to really 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:58.040 take a big jump, not if he's crashing Lamborghinis. But 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.919 what also happened in Dallas is Terrell Owen comes out 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:05.480 former Cowboys says he doesn't know how Jason Garrett still 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.480 has a job, you know, saying that the Cowboys have 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.160 not improved under his tenure. And it got me to thinking, 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.040 is Jason Garrett on the hot seat? You know what 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.520 if the Cowboys. This could go off the rails pretty quickly. 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.640 You know, um, you know the kind of wide receiver 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.000 they might need, guy like Dead's Bryant. But we'll get 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.000 into that a little bit later on. So I don't 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.160 wait a second. Is Garrett on the hot seat? And 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:29.960 then I thought who else might be on the hot seat? 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.280 You know a coach that we talked about for a 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.560 while a couple of times, Hugh Jackson, He could be 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.400 on the hot seat. You know who else I think 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.160 could be on the hot seat? Is the cursive hard 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:41.440 knocks Dirk Cutter in Tampa. If Jamis doesn't take another 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.080 step they've been talking about Old Tampa's primed to take 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.480 a step. It hasn't happened in a couple of years. 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.480 So we got a poll question up right now, okay, 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.680 and you can catch me on Twitter at spitting speeds. 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.760 Which NFL coach enters two thousand eighteen with the hottest 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.040 hot seat? Is it a guy like Jason Garrett? Is 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:58.680 it a guy like Hugh Jackson? Is it Dirt Cutter? 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.240 Or is it someone else? We got people putting in 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.000 writing candidates right now, left and right. Okay, think about 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.440 a guy like maybe Vance Joseph, think about a guy 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.880 like Marvin Lewis. Okay, So that is the question we 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.160 are asking you here on this episode of The Fantasy Freestyle. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.720 By the way, this is episode three hundred and nine, 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.080 maybe three hundred and ten. A lot of episodes here 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.480 of the Fantasy Freestyle means all of y'all out there, 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.800 the stats over beat Cipher. You continue to want what 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.799 you need to win your leagues and win that cash. 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:29.360 We talked about what was going on in Dallas. The 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.320 big other NFL news is listen, we got O T 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.440 A s starting to pop off, right, And you know 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.200 what's interesting is Odell Beckham is there. But here are 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.280 the people who are not. TB twelve Tom Brady still 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.640 not working out with the Pats, Gronk still not working 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.000 out with the Pats. Do you think maybe the two 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:47.960 of them are sending some kind of message to the 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.320 Belichick regime. Maybe they want to instead work out with Oh, 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:55.320 I don't know, Alex Guerrero TV twelve Fitness. Are they 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.680 sending a message or is this must do about nothing? Um? 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.599 I think in the Patriots case, it would be interesting. 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.560 Remember I've been predicting the fall of Rome for a 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.400 couple of months over there. No Julio Jones in Atlanta. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.440 He wants to revisit his contract. We'll talk about Julio 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.720 Jones a little bit later on. And why I think 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.320 if you're Julio, you better get your money now. You 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.240 better do it now, similar to what Charlie Blackman did 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.760 ahead of the game getting that extension. We'll talk about 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.239 that a little bit later on. Also, no Aaron Donald 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.240 for the Rams. Remember he was thinking about holding it 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.599 out last year as well. And no Levy on Bell 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.760 for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was thinking about holding out 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.200 last year as well. They continue to do the same 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.880 old song and dance. They will be there for a 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.400 week one. Not a lot to think about on that. Also, 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.200 I don't know if you um, I don't know if 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.479 we've talked about this, but did you see that the 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.760 Browns are named on hard Knocks? And I think that's interesting, Ay, 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.000 the curse of hard knocks? Right, But you can't really 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:54.160 go much further down than one in thirty one in 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.360 your last two seasons, you can't go much further down 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.000 than ut of the poll. Right now, thinking that Hugh 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.800 Jackson has the hottest seat of all I'm a little 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.040 bit higher than most on the Browns because of all 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.360 the storylines that are there. Honestly, Hard Knocks picked a great, 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.000 you know team quite frankly because they got some weapons. Now, 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.560 the Josh Gordon's story, well that's a weapon. The Drivis 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.640 Landry story, that's a weapon. This running back room between 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.240 Hide and Chubb and Duke, these are weapons. The quarterbacks 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:26.320 saga with Bigger Mayfield with T Mobile, who I think 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.600 is going to hold onto this starting job and leverage 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.800 better weapons than he ever had with the Buffalo Bills 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.200 and lead this Brown's team to a number that is 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.280 well over their over under that you can check on 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.320 my bookie dot a g Right now, I believe the 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.160 overunder for the Cleveland Browns right now is five, and 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.680 I think they will win six games this year. I 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.520 think they will not be in last place in the 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.320 a f C North. We'll get into that in a 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.760 future episode of The Fantasy Freestyle. Okay, we're gonna be 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.680 giving you my kind of early read on over unders 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.000 on division previews. We're gonna be getting into that in 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.440 a couple of weeks after Memorial Day hits and we're 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.000 officially in a summer, we're gonna start our division by 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.279 division prep. We're gonna start our over unders for teams 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:09.159 because now because it's legal, uh in some places. Maybe 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:10.840 on my bookie Thatt a g you're gonna try and 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.320 make that cash. Also interesting note about the Detroit running 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.440 back room. You know that they're gonna sign this kid 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.920 carry On Johnson's their rookie out of Auburn. I believe 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.280 they got Legarrett Blunt who they signed in the offseason. 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.200 You know theoretic is there as a pass catching back. 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.520 Keep an eye on a mirror Abdullah. I think a 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.720 mirror Abdulah is gonna be the guy without a seat 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.880 when the music stops. I think a Mirabdulah will be 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.960 looking for work sometime potentially the summer. He'll either get 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:36.840 cut or he'll be a little bit of a trade bait, 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:41.240 you know. Um with guys like Matt Jones taking visits 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.880 and signing with guys like Terrence West making the rounds. 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.360 With DeMarco Murray still out there, keep an eye on 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.600 a mirror Abdula. I think he is more viable than 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.360 a guy like Terence West if he would ever be 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.360 out there on the open market. Also gotta let you 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.800 guys know that Johnny Football. Yeah, I said it, Johnny 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.680 Football signed with the Hamilton's Tiger Cats. Big shout out 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.360 to my man lin Manuel Miranda. When it comes to Hamilton's, 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.400 I wonder if he greased the wheels at all. They're doubtful, 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.320 but um, I think it's actually a good move. Listen, 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.440 he only had maybe like five suitors in the NFL anyway, 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.200 and they weren't gonna take a flyer on him. Now 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.960 that we're gonna wait for injury maybe much further down 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.400 in the summer, you know, So this is an opportunity 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.720 for him to play professional football, put some stuff on tape, 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.480 continue the narrative that he is rehabbing his image. I 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.280 think this is a good look. This also proves that, 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.360 like he does love football. You know, he's kind of 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.200 eating some of that humble pie, taking a step down 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:34.920 a little bit, and like, no, I'll do whatever I 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.160 gotta do to play football. So I like what's happening 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.200 at a Johnny Football. I wanted to mention that, but 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.120 I did talk about this aging curve, which is something 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:45.760 I want to mention here on this episode of the 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:49.720 Fantasy Freestyle, right here on the Fantasy Sports Network Award 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.680 nominated Fantasy Freestyle. By the Way, your boy, Dame Martinez 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.520 Speed has spitting status this or the Staple Genes and 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:59.040 Vocal Minority Award nominated Big Things here on Fantasy Sports Network. 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.719 One of talk about the aging curve by position. I 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.120 keep on telling you guys that rookie tight ends are 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.240 fool gazy forgot about them. Rookie tight ends you want 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.439 to forget about because they and you're one. It's too 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.719 hard for them to learn the new blocking schemes and 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.200 the route tree. I tell you that all the time. Okay, 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.520 Evan Ingram, you're gonna be like Dane. What about Evan Ingram? 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.400 He was a top five tight end this year. He 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.960 was a rookie fo gaz forgot about him. And let 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.839 me tell you why the Giants wide receiver corps was 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:35.000 eviscerated last year. Oldell Beckham gone, Brandon Marshall gone, Sterling Shepherd, 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:36.959 who I interviewed when he was sitting here right in 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.800 this very seat in Studio thirty four. Gone for some 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.240 of the time right there was no one else left 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.880 for targets. So that's where Evan Ingram popped off. I 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.480 think Evan M. Ingram is a prime regression candidate. If 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.079 you want to know the truth, all of a sudden, 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.839 Odell Beckham is back. All of a sudden, you have 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.520 Sae Kwon Barkley, you have a healthy shep. I don't 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.600 think here as high on the pecking war or kid. Sorry, 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:07.040 but in general, I don't like first year tight ends. Okay, 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.520 And I got some data from PFF that back it, 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:14.040 backs it up. They did study looking at all like positions, 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:15.880 so running back, wide out and tight end and kind 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.959 of their career arc, you know, and they and what 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.840 is kind of the baseline of like their maximum value 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:26.679 and tight ends in year one only realized thirty of 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:31.040 their actual value. That's their breakdown. Okay, So but the 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.720 tight end see a huge jump in year two. They 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:38.000 go from thirty three pc of their value to of 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.760 their value. So what does that mean? That means the 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.760 breakout concept of the tight end. You know, guys who 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.600 have been you know, either learning under others or guys 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.200 that are in their second year that can be taking 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.640 a jump. These are guys that I like for your 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.160 for your tight ends. I don't like Kevin Ingram, okay, 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.920 but I love me, you know, as does everybody. I 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:02.040 love me some Hunter Henry. I love me some Trey Burton. 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:06.160 And I love me some Ricky Seals Jones out there 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.640 in Arizona. I'm telling you right now, he is my 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.280 tight end, Diamond and the rough Ricky Seals Jones. Okay, 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.839 this is the second year guy primed to make this bump. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.679 Defenses are gonna be keying in on David Johnson d J. 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.240 Two K. Defense wives will be keying in in the 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:25.160 passing game on Larry Fitzgerald. And I think you know, Bradford, 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:29.280 who's made of eggshells, is gonna be gone by October onet. Anyway, 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.560 by Columbus Day, it will be the rookie quarterback. What's 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.360 a rookie quarterback's best friend, his tight end over the middle, 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:39.000 his security blanket, as it were, the Lionus factor. Okay, 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.360 and that's Rickie Seals Jones. I love me some Rookie 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.360 Seals Jones. I love me some Hunter Henry. I love 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.000 you some Trey Burton, another second year guy to keep 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:47.800 an eye on. I'm gonna make my man Mike Florio 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.839 down there in the fantasy pit of misery laugh a 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.360 little bit. I was early on him last year, Mike, 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.880 but I didn't realize that you're only thirty three percent 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:56.560 of your value in year one and then you jump 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.760 up in year two. I hope you know who I'm 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.040 talking about, because Jimmy g is never lost on the 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.040 tight end. He's gonna be throwing to is my man, 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.640 George Kittle. Keep an eye on Kittle and Ricky Seals 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.439 Jones as second year tight ends. You know you know 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.559 about Ingram, Fazy, you know about O. J. Howard. He 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.640 still needs to compete with making America braid again. Okay, 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.800 So I like some of these other off the radar 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.240 tight ends if you want to kind of stream tight end. 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:22.640 A lot of people are talking about if you don't 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.959 wind up with Gronk, if you don't wind up with Kelsey, 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.200 if you don't wind up with Earth's to drop down 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:29.880 is big to the what some people think of Ingram, 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.480 I don't. I think it's Hunter Henry still the Delaney 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.079 Walkers of the world. Okay, and then some of these 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.320 other guys take a chance on them. They are primed 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.600 to make a jump in running backs. You can get 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:42.600 them a little bit earlier. We've seen this with girly. 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.640 We've seen this with Zeke, We've seen this with four Net. Recently, 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.000 we've seen this with Kamara. Guys like Kareem Hunt. Okay, 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:54.679 running backs value, Um, they get eighty what is it? 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.240 Let's see they get eighty eight percent of their baseline 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.040 value right away. So rookie, rookie running backs coming and 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.199 come in and produce for you, all right? I think 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.679 some will in year one this year as well. We 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.040 know about Sae Kwon Barkley. I think there's a couple 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:09.800 of guys who are primed and ready to go. I've 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.400 been telling you about this for a while. Elijah Penny 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:18.040 three down back potential, Ronald Jones and Tampa nobody in 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.360 front of him, you believe in pop Quiz Jocquiz, I 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.400 don't anymore. Okay, But the guy I like is Royce 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.679 Freeman in Denver, I don't believe. And DeVante Booker I 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.280 believe if anything, he's the third down kind of back. 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.920 Think about Royce Freeman out there and wide received. And 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.120 but what they do say, excuse me about the running 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.719 backs is that they peak in year four. And there's 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:39.600 a couple of fourth year running backs that I think 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:41.520 are very interesting the first that I'm gonna give you. 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.959 I am high on this guy. I am high on 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.440 Jerick McKinnon. He's entering year four. The San Francisco forty 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.600 Niners paid money to go get him and sign him. 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.080 Kyle Shanahan talking a lot about how he's gonna play 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.640 the DeVante Freeman role in that offense. I love me 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:01.839 some Jerick McKinnon this year. Uh, Davante Freeman in his 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.840 fourth year. I also like Freeman this year as well. Okay, 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.240 that's the sweet spot. The wide receivers are a little 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:11.640 bit different. Okay, same thing. Rookie whiteouts don't usually do it. 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:15.880 I'm down on Calvin Ridney Ridley fantasy herd. Okay, you 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.719 got Julio, you got Freeman, you got Mohammed. HiT's a 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.360 new day. Keevin Coleman as well. All Right, Calvin Ridley 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.960 is gonna be a better football player than fantasy football 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.480 player in my opinion. D J. Moore is the lone exception. 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.840 But I like some of these Year five guys. They 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.360 have Year five as the peak for wide receiver guys 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:38.280 like the Landry the feeling, the Davante Adams, Davante Adams 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.520 and Mike Evans setting up to have huge years. In 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.640 my opinion, they both are wide out ones. But here's 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:45.240 the interesting part, and I'll leave you guys with this. 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.600 They consider year eight the start of the decline for 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:53.040 wide receivers. And there are some big name wide receivers 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:57.240 entering their eighth year. Julio Jones among them. See how 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.240 Right bring it full circle? Julio Jones among them seeing 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:01.840 O T. A. S. I think he needs to get 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.640 an extension now because he may start to be on 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.560 the decline and not get as much on the market. 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.760 His stock is high right now. He needs to cash in. A. J. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.960 Green fits into this category of year eight. Remember we've 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:18.200 we've seen him have some injuries in the last couple 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.400 of years, so maybe you know that's something to worry about. 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.760 What a J. Green. Here are two other guys that 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.760 are entering year eight that I think are going to 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.800 go down this year, and not only because they're on 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.160 the downside of their career trajectory, but also because I 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.200 don't buy in their teams or how they're being used 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:41.120 this year. The first is Doug Baldwin. Doug Baldwin entering 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.920 year eight. Okay, I'm worried about the Seattle offense. I 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.080 think they're gonna change it a little bit. They're gonna 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.920 try and let Penny be the bell cow here. They 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.080 believe in some of these other wide receivers. They love 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.840 lock It. If you listen to the King Scott Angle, 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.080 they love Amari Barbo out there. I wouldn't be surprised 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.640 if Baldwin takes a slight step back. He's always been 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.760 one of the tried and true, under respected borderline wide 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.520 out ones, wide out twos. He's gonna back up and 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.320 be more into the back end wide out to category 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.160 this year. The last one is Randall Cobb. Randall Cob, 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.960 I think is also on the downside of that. Davanta 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.360 Adams is the one that's rising up. Remember Jimmy Graham. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.480 They're also taking away some of those probably touchdown targets 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.360 as well, So there's a little bit of look at that. 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.160 When we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle on 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:28.240 the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network, we're gonna turn 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.120 our attention to baseball here.

We're gonna get into and also 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:38.960 we're trying to set up the brackets here for the 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:43.080 face of baseball tournament brackets.

Gotta love, gotta 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:44.480 love that. All right, So news and notes here in 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.360 Major League Baseball that I wanted to before we turn 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.240 it to my man, Mikey Florio and we start talking 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:52.159 about the face of baseball. Um. The first thing that 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:55.000 I gotta tell you this is very very interesting. The 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:57.800 Tampa Bay Rays are like a um, They're like a 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:01.240 Petrie dish. You know, they're really they they they're just 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.640 trying things out and seeing what grows inside the Petri dish. 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:08.399 They're like a little lab for baseball. And their newest 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:12.200 idea is to have not one, but two bullpen days 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:17.439 right now. Um. You know, Archer, Faria and Snell are 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:21.160 there only starting pitchers, okay, and they are literally going 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.840 at it a bullpen days, um now, two times in 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:28.359 a row through the rotation. Sergio Romo last weekend started 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.320 on Saturday, went like an inning, and then he started 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:33.760 the game again on Sunday, when I believe in ending 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.080 and a third okay. And what they're doing is they're saying, hey, 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:40.479 every man up, it's committee day, okay. And I think 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:42.760 this is very interesting for a number of reasons. One 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:47.639 seems to work. Zach cos Art on the Angels, he 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:50.480 said he didn't like this. You know, the baseball players 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:54.080 are such creature of habit and routines. They analyze video, 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:56.280 you know that they try to get the book on 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:58.600 the starter. And when it's like an All Star game 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:00.320 and the you know, the guy's gonna only be in 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:02.359 for one inning, they can't get a read on it. 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:04.199 You know, they gotta know who they're seeing for their 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:06.600 first couple of bats. Zak Cozard said he does not 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:09.640 like what they're doing because it messes with his routine 0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:14.760 check for the Tampa Bay Rays. The other thing is 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:16.400 I think and I would love to get my momm 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:20.159 Mike Florio's thoughts on this. Mikey, I think this is 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:24.520 brilliant for the Tampa Bay Rays financially. If you're a 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:27.200 team that you know you're not contending, You've got a 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:29.000 lot of young kids who you may want to get 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:31.480 an opportunity later in the year to be able to 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:34.960 get some innings, get some experience under their belt. Why 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:38.360 clog up the rotation with other guys, the older guys. 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.040 And here's the other thing, fiscally, I think it makes sense. 0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:45.399 Why sign some guy to be your third starter to 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:49.280 a three year, thirty four million dollar deal when You're 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:51.920 not trying to win anyway. All that's doing is taking 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.640 is dead money on your books. Let the kids play, 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:56.680 you said to me, Florial down in the pit of misery. 0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.520 You're always about letting the kids play. They're just taking 0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.680 it to an extreme down in Tampa, clearing the way 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:06.240 for everybody to be able to have some opportunity and flash. 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:11.200 And why have a contract saddled around the franchise's neck 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:14.840 or the spot in the rotation filled you know, when 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:17.520 you could be having kids up. And that's the way 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:19.639 I think about that. I'm gonna get Florios thoughts on 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:21.200 it a little bit later on. What I want to 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:24.760 also really quickly tell you about is on Roto Experts 0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:27.639 in the Morning, we talk every Wednesday about the closer 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.680 situations around Major League Baseball and we do that based 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:33.280 off an article that George Kurtz puts out on Rhodo 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:36.399 Experts dot com, which is amazing. Okay, there's gonna be 0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:38.920 some clothes to talk tomorrow, but just some closer news 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:41.320 and notes because this is you. There's some shifting roles 0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:43.879 here out there in the major leagues. Okay, And if 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:46.119 you're in a Roodo format or head to head. You 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.920 may need some saves, So I'm over here trying to 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:51.960 help you. That's what we do. That's why we win. Chips. Baby, 0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:54.760 all right, So I'm gonna tell you right now. In 0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:57.880 Chicago with the White Sox, this is now Nate Jones's job. 0:22:57.920 --> 0:23:00.920 In my opinion, this is Nate Jones's. Bob Sorio was 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:03.680 nowhere to be found over the weekend when the White 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:05.520 Socks need to nail down some games. They even had 0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:08.920 like Jace Fry come in. But he's really a situational righty, 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:13.040 lefty guy. Nate Jones, I believe, is going to take 0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:15.679 that role. He's the one who I think gets saves 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:19.720 moving forward for the Chide Socks. Okay, um in Anaheim 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:23.359 with the Angels, there's an opportunity here. Okay, Middleton is done. 0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:26.399 I believe he's having Tommy john surgery. Okay, and a 0:23:26.480 --> 0:23:30.200 lot of people on spec went originally to Jim Johnson. No, no, no, 0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:33.639 I think it's Blake Parker. I think it's Blake Parker 0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:34.960 is the guy you need to get. He got the 0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:37.720 last save I believe for the Angels. He's the guy 0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:39.880 I think if the Angels are in tight games, they're 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:42.080 gonna be saving he's the guy with the best stuff, okay, 0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:44.240 and I think that's where social is gonna land ultimately. 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:46.560 All right, here's another two other spots I want you 0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:50.280 to look at. One is Baltimore. Okay, and I say 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:54.280 this because Zack Britton pitching, pitching, batting practice. It sounds 0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:57.000 like next week he's gonna go on a rehab assignment. 0:23:57.240 --> 0:23:59.080 They said, after Memorial Day, he's gonna go on a 0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:02.200 rehab assignment next week. After that, it's just about, you know, 0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:04.080 getting him to be able to go back to back days, 0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:09.199 things of that nature. Zach Britton will be back pretty soon, Okay, 0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:12.480 I mean most people, you know, most leagues. I guess 0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:16.199 he's been taken and stashed, you know, probably already. I'm 0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:18.880 looking in my league. I'm looking in my league where 0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:21.320 I did that. I took and I drafted Zach Britton 0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:24.920 and stashed him. And he is owned right now. Zach 0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:26.480 Britton is own. Let me bring it up for you. 0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:30.520 Zach Britton is only owned in of leagues. That means 0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:32.560 you and your boys are at the bar, you know, 0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:34.920 four of you two if you can go right now, 0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:37.240 pick up Zack Britton. Stash him on you d L, 0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:39.040 and then you will have a bona fide closer for 0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:42.000 the second half of the season. He's coming along nicely. Okay, 0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:45.000 So that's another spot I wanna mention, and the fourth 0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:49.359 is keep an eye in Milwaukee. Keep an eye in Milwaukee. Okay. Listen, 0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:51.720 Corey Knable comes back from the d L. They're working 0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:53.400 him back in the same way. I was just telling 0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:58.080 you about um what they'll eventually do with Brittain Um 0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:00.800 and Cannabel did get the save for the Brewers, I 0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:05.040 believe last night. But I mean, Josh Hayder is ridiculous. 0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:08.160 Josh Hayder is absolutely ridiculous. I think he's still gonna 0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:10.720 have this like two winning kind of Andrew Miller role. 0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:12.560 I believe you know, he's got more case for nine 0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:15.800 than anybody right now. Okay, So if you had Hayter, 0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:18.960 like keep him and you know, be very you know, 0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:23.000 I love the ratios that he gives you. All right, 0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:25.840 is what we're gonna do here on the Fantasy Freestyle 0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:28.640 on the Fantasy Sports Network, which boy Dame Martinez be's 0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:32.479 the spitting statistician, the stable genius, and vocal minority. When 0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:34.199 you're a league, when the cash with the stats over 0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:36.399 beat Cipher. I got Mikey Florio down there in the 0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:39.719 pit of misery. Uh, Mikey Florio, how you doing? Man? 0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:43.160 Are you with me? I'm good, I'm with you. Yeah. 0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:44.520 What do you think about that? Man? What do you 0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:46.560 think about? First of all, the Sergio Romo starting back 0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:48.720 to back games, and I would actually messes up Zach 0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:51.040 Cozard even he said he really didn't like it. It 0:25:51.080 --> 0:25:53.160 messes up his prep. And I think it's a financial 0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:56.159 smart move financially for the Rays to do it in 0:25:56.240 --> 0:25:57.880 this way. What do you think about what they're doing? 0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:01.000 Not only that they could throw someone out there to pitch. 0:26:01.040 --> 0:26:03.120 You know a couple of innings, the guy on Saturday 0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:05.600 who came in after Romo went six and Yarbro I 0:26:05.640 --> 0:26:07.760 think it was right and got the win. He's basically 0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:11.000 a starting pitcher there, but using Romo first throws the 0:26:11.080 --> 0:26:13.720 other team off. I think the race constantly gotta be 0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:17.080 innovative because they don't have the financial money to keep 0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:18.840 up with other That's what I'm saying. They're the Petrie 0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:21.440 Dish of the Major League Baseball exactly. And it also 0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:23.960 helps if you are a Blake Snell or Chris Archer 0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:27.240 or Jacob Fario owner because they're pushing those guys deeper 0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:30.720 into games because you gotta keep the bullpen fresh because 0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:34.800 it's bullpen day of the time. Now, apparently that's a 0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:37.760 great point. That's a great point, Florio. So you know, 0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:39.600 if you have an Archer, if you have a Fario, 0:26:39.640 --> 0:26:42.240 if you have a Snell, right, they're gonna push it. 0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:44.679 Does that hurt those guys because all those guys are 0:26:44.680 --> 0:26:47.560 pretty young too, Florio? You know all those guys, you know, 0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:49.920 are they still in the range where they like have 0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:52.280 innings limits later on to the season. What happens when 0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:55.720 they're pushing a hundred sixty eight innings and they literally 0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:59.439 don't have an innings eater on the rotation? Yeah, luckily 0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:02.160 for them. Blake Snell last year went about a hundred 0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:07.600 and eighty in the year. Archer is like, but but yeah, 0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:10.320 y him, I'm not sure about But I told Greg 0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:12.440 this on BFF the other day. I was watching Blake 0:27:12.480 --> 0:27:15.480 Snell because I I have I Mr Blake Snell. I 0:27:15.520 --> 0:27:18.760 have to watch him. He goes six innings, he's over 0:27:18.800 --> 0:27:21.040 a hundred pitches. I actually turned the game off. I 0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:23.960 imagine he's done. It wasn't until I checked the box 0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:26.000 score like ten minutes later that I was like, they 0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:28.679 pushed him back out there for seven. He only got 0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:30.520 two ounces and the seventh. But it's stuff like that 0:27:30.640 --> 0:27:33.720 where they will push him. If you're sitting at five 0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:36.280 and a third at a hundred pitches, maybe you know 0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:38.840 they might just let you get that quality start, all right. 0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:41.960 I like that. I like that there's another impact for it. 0:27:42.119 --> 0:27:44.800 That's why I got a man, Mike Florio joining us 0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:46.440 for a couple of minutes here on the freestyle. He 0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:48.520 is one of my best friends forever. You can catch 0:27:48.680 --> 0:27:51.440 them every day. I believe it's two to three pm, correct, Mike, 0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:55.240 two to three pm, best friends forever making it happen 0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:59.119 Monday through Friday on the Fantasy Sports Network. Am I correct? 0:27:59.320 --> 0:28:03.280 You are correct? Sometimes you just get Dane Martinez walking around. 0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:05.840 You never know, man, you never know. Yeah, that's how 0:28:05.880 --> 0:28:08.080 we do with popping in, with popping off, doing all 0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:10.040 sorts of kinds of things. Real quick. Floria, before we 0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:13.399 get into this rankings and seatings, had another quick thing. 0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:16.000 I wanted to bounce off you. I've been telling, uh 0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:19.760 my man, the King's goot angled that I think Goldie 0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:21.800 is there's something up with him. You know, he's hitting 0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:23.960 like two oh four, and he was like, I was 0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:25.880 worried that maybe it was the humid or at first, 0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:27.440 but I think I know what it is now. I 0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:29.960 think he's old and I think that's an issue. Check 0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:33.240 this out, Floria'll check this out. Okay. Remember how like 0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:36.119 the hot stove was really lukewarm this year, and like 0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:39.280 people were not signing, especially veterans. You know, Matt Holiday 0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:41.760 is out there. He's got a career eight nine. Yes, 0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:44.360 he's got a career three fourteen home runs. I think 0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:46.520 Matt Holiday is on the street still, you know what 0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:50.400 I mean. Guys like um uh, Mark Reynolds just signed. Okay, 0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:53.480 And and and here's the thing. Check this out. You 0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:55.840 mentioned it before. The bullpens and what they're trying to 0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:58.720 do with starters outside of the Tampa bray Rays. Starters 0:28:58.760 --> 0:29:00.960 are trying to just go to two times through the order, 0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:04.640 and then they're bringing in these huge fireballer relievers, one 0:29:05.480 --> 0:29:08.760 more powerful than the next. One oh one used to 0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:12.360 Jordan's Um. Yeah, Jordan hits one like one oh five 0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:15.040 the other day. Here's what anything is going. Check this out. 0:29:15.720 --> 0:29:21.400 Check this out Florio, twenty two players have seen thirty 0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:24.840 six pitchers of ninety six miles an hour or more 0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:28.320 without getting a hit. So far this year, twenty two 0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:31.800 players have seen that many pitches of ninety six kind 0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:34.640 of like the super fastballs without getting a hit. All 0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:38.160 of them Florio. All twenty two are thirty years old 0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:42.960 or more. Names like Kindler, Span, Sean Rodriguez and Goldschmidt. 0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:47.280 Florio Goldie has seen seventy seven pitches this year of 0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:50.320 ninety six miles an hour or more. He has not 0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:53.200 recorded a hit. That is the most in the majors. 0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:56.200 And here's the other stat for Goldie. His strikeout rate 0:29:56.280 --> 0:30:01.920 has gone up from two to thirty one percent this year. 0:30:02.000 --> 0:30:05.000 For Goldie, he can't handle the heat. Trust me, when 0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:07.760 you're in your thirties, you know the quick twitch. The 0:30:07.840 --> 0:30:11.240 reaction time is a little bit slower. These guys can't 0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:14.000 get around on this new level of heater that is 0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:17.080 coming out. Goldie strikeout rate is going up ten pc. 0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:20.320 You combine that with a Babad dip of about fifty 0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:23.120 points this year, and that's why Goldie is hitting two 0:30:23.200 --> 0:30:25.800 oh four. What do you think Florio I didn't know 0:30:25.960 --> 0:30:30.160 his struggles against velocity. That is an amazing set. My 0:30:30.240 --> 0:30:31.640 man in Goldie, you know what he needs to do. 0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:34.000 He needs to hang out with the one of my 0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:37.400 favorite players, Joey Vado. Joey Vodo is old, but he 0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:41.160 just keeps thinking of he like holds the bat almost 0:30:41.200 --> 0:30:43.800 at the barrel now and he just keeps getting that. 0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:45.719 Might be it what you say, he's choking up right, 0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:48.960 Maybe come back that reaction time gap. You gotta you know, 0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:52.160 it's like the same thing on the pitching side. Fireballers 0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:55.040 when they get into the thirties, they become pictures, right, 0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:58.680 they use location, they lose their arsenal, they're off speed 0:30:58.800 --> 0:31:01.320 stuff now. So of these hitters may not be able 0:31:01.400 --> 0:31:04.120 to adjust as they get older. And what the you know, 0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:07.000 the influx of these big time arms coming out and 0:31:07.120 --> 0:31:10.000 seeing them more in the bullpen because the bullpens are 0:31:10.160 --> 0:31:14.000 dominating games. I think this has merit Floria. I'll send you. 0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:15.680 I'll send you a link to the article I read. 0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:18.600 It was by you know, Mr Buster Only we'll talk 0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:21.000 about that. UM, I'll show that to you. I think 0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:24.440 it's pretty interesting though. A specifically, these thirty year old guys, 0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:27.280 they can't handle the heat that's coming in this new 0:31:27.400 --> 0:31:30.280 era of Major League Baseball, and maybe that's why some 0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:32.920 of these guys were left on sign But real quick, 0:31:33.440 --> 0:31:35.760 we're doing over on Roado experts in the morning. Okay, 0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:37.560 if you're part of the status over beat cipher, you 0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:42.920 know about fantasy freestyle, you know that speeds loves brackets. Okay, guys, 0:31:43.280 --> 0:31:45.360 maybe JP the Night Album might remember we did the 0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:48.400 greatest TV show of all time. And Florio, you were 0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:50.400 talking about this as well. You know, we did the 0:31:50.440 --> 0:31:52.360 greatest TV show of all time. It was in fact, 0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:55.600 breaking bad over Seinfeld. We did the greatest sports movie 0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:58.680 of all time. I believe Rocky won those brackets. What 0:31:58.760 --> 0:32:02.080 I wanna know is the face of baseball. So we 0:32:02.200 --> 0:32:05.080 got some names, Florio, I sent them to you, and 0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:07.120 you know, JP or anybody else can comment as well. 0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:14.280 And and the way I had it was, you know, Trout, Judge, Altuve, Harper, Otani, Kerkshaw, 0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:19.440 Stanton Pool, Hols, Bryant, Posey, Corea, Verlando Cabrera, Machado, Syndergarten bets. 0:32:20.040 --> 0:32:22.320 This is like kind of remember, the face of baseball 0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:24.800 is not necessarily the best player in baseball, but who 0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:27.719 might we have the most notoriety, the face. People be like, Oh, 0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:30.080 I know that guy that's Aaron Judge, right, Oh, I've 0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:33.120 seen that guy that's Mike Trout. You know, Syndergarden isn't 0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:35.280 here because it's long flowing locks. If you want to 0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:37.160 know the truth, That's why guys like Pooh Holes or 0:32:37.240 --> 0:32:39.760 Cabrera Posy are still in there. They're part of the 0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:43.440 marketable marketability of baseball, the face of baseball. You know. 0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:46.320 So guys like Freeman they don't really get in. Guys 0:32:46.360 --> 0:32:48.680 like Votto who you just mentioned, or Braun, people don't 0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:53.880 know them as much. Goldschmidt. So Florio, I asked you, 0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:56.440 you've seen the list. Do you think that there are 0:32:56.480 --> 0:32:59.560 any glaring omissions or any of these top sixteen should 0:32:59.560 --> 0:33:02.520 definitely be dropped? And should any names that you think 0:33:02.560 --> 0:33:05.160 of that we have not captured at all, or anybody 0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:08.360 that you think is dramatically overseated or underseated from the list. 0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:11.840 Thing I just gave um, I don't think there's anyone 0:33:12.040 --> 0:33:14.560 like missing. Okay, what would you do with this? How 0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:16.280 would you how would you move the rankings or the 0:33:16.320 --> 0:33:18.800 seatings up a little bit. Honestly, I think I would 0:33:18.880 --> 0:33:23.280 have Trout lower real, Like, right now, Trout is the 0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:26.520 number one seed. I believe he is the favorite as 0:33:26.560 --> 0:33:28.560 the face of baseball. That meanings like if you asked 0:33:28.680 --> 0:33:30.280 Ran you know, we're in studio thirty four. If I 0:33:30.320 --> 0:33:32.560 went to Penn Station, you know, and I was like 0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:35.360 showing people pictures or of like, oh, who's you know 0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:37.640 name a baseball player right now? You don't think Trout 0:33:37.680 --> 0:33:40.880 would be the first one named, don't You don't think Trout? 0:33:41.520 --> 0:33:44.280 Uh is like maybe one of the most recognizable. Trout 0:33:44.600 --> 0:33:47.200 the biggest ambassador. I guess he's not on as many 0:33:47.280 --> 0:33:50.080 commercials and stuff like that. You'd have Trout lower. Huh. 0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:53.280 He'll still be in my top four. Okay, he'd be 0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:56.440 in the kind of okay, the best quartile. He'd be 0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:58.120 in your top four. The others in the top four 0:33:58.160 --> 0:34:00.800 a Judge Alto and Harper? Are you saying that because 0:34:00.840 --> 0:34:03.560 you're such a millennial, Mikey, are you saying you bump 0:34:03.640 --> 0:34:06.960 Harper up? I would bump Harper for sure, and I 0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:09.000 think Judge over him as well. So you would do 0:34:09.120 --> 0:34:12.840 the top four more like Judge Harper Trout Alve. Honestly, 0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:19.360 I think I would do it. Harper tut interesting let 0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:20.880 me know what you guys think. If you're in the 0:34:20.920 --> 0:34:23.400 stats over beat Cipher in the chat room on YouTube. 0:34:23.640 --> 0:34:25.000 Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna be kind of 0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:26.840 norming this a little bit, and then we're gonna be 0:34:26.880 --> 0:34:29.680 doing these polls on Rhodo Experts in the morning right 0:34:29.760 --> 0:34:32.720 here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network seven and nine am. 0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:35.719 It is me, It is the King Scott Angle, it 0:34:35.840 --> 0:34:38.239 is the all in kid Jake Seely.

What do you 0:34:47.000 --> 0:34:48.799 think about some of these older guys. Do you think 0:34:48.880 --> 0:34:51.360 Miguel Cabrera still belongs in the top sixteen? Do you 0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:54.120 think Buster Posey still belongs in the top sixteen? Should 0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:59.000 they be seated in this bracket? Florial? I definitely think 0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:01.080 they should be be it's bust Oppose He's still in 0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:03.520 a lot of commercials. Maybe he was so good. Poogles 0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:05.799 both were so good for so long that I think 0:35:05.840 --> 0:35:09.520 the average baseball fans still recognizes them immediately. Yeah, alright, 0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:11.200 so we're gonna find out much like we found out 0:35:11.239 --> 0:35:13.479 about the TV shows.

All right, Uh, 0:37:25.719 --> 0:37:30.200 we put the fun and functional sports content. Um. I've 0:37:30.200 --> 0:37:32.600 been talking about Trevor Bauer for a few weeks now. 0:37:33.040 --> 0:37:36.360 Remember we talked about the sixty nine days of giving, 0:37:36.800 --> 0:37:39.799 how after his arbitration and kind of he won more 0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:42.280 than he wanted or that he you know, pitched originally 0:37:42.719 --> 0:37:44.480 he was trying to make a mockery of the arbitration 0:37:44.560 --> 0:37:48.360 system and succeeded. If I do days myself and just 0:37:48.480 --> 0:37:51.240 catch you up, Remember he's giving four and twenty dollars 0:37:51.280 --> 0:37:55.879 and sixty nine cents to a charity for sixty nine 0:37:55.960 --> 0:37:58.480 days in a row. And know those numbers are not coincidental. 0:37:58.960 --> 0:38:00.839 And we're in about you know, I got it. It's 0:38:00.840 --> 0:38:03.120 about two more weeks left. And I was like, who 0:38:03.160 --> 0:38:06.759 should we nominate? Who should we nominate? You know the 0:38:06.840 --> 0:38:09.239 Slatto would beat Cipher. We gotta we gotta, we gotta 0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:13.480 nominate a charity and maybe the Bower outage Trevor Bauer 0:38:13.560 --> 0:38:16.080 would you know, donate and we could feel good about ourselves. 0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:19.279 And I finally found the answer. Remember last week when 0:38:19.320 --> 0:38:21.640 I told you about Hugh Jackson, and I told you 0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:24.160 that Hugh Jackson was gonna go jump in the lake 0:38:24.840 --> 0:38:27.600 because He said previously last year that if the Browns went, oh, 0:38:27.680 --> 0:38:30.279 it didn't win a game, because I guess two years 0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:33.600 ago they go one in fifteen, right, and then they 0:38:33.640 --> 0:38:36.120 say if they don't do better than that, he would 0:38:36.160 --> 0:38:39.320 go jump in Lake Erie. And they wound up losing 0:38:39.480 --> 0:38:41.840 every game last year. So he's gonna make good on 0:38:41.920 --> 0:38:43.719 his promise. He's a man of his word. He is 0:38:43.800 --> 0:38:46.000 going to jump in the lake. I think he's doing 0:38:46.040 --> 0:38:49.120 it on June one, but he he spun it forward 0:38:49.160 --> 0:38:51.120 and he did a real nice thing. He said he's 0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:55.040 doing it now to cleanse the losing ways in Cleveland, right, 0:38:55.160 --> 0:38:58.040 So I'm with that. And he's also encouraging everybody in 0:38:58.040 --> 0:39:00.839 the Cleveland Browns organization to jump on in with him. 0:39:01.239 --> 0:39:03.560 And he said he's going to donate a hundred dollars 0:39:04.040 --> 0:39:07.440 for every person within the Browns that jump in with him, 0:39:08.120 --> 0:39:11.680 and he's gonna donate it to his charity, the Hugh 0:39:12.040 --> 0:39:15.640 Jackson Foundation. It's on my Twitter timeline right now. The 0:39:15.760 --> 0:39:19.880 Hugh Jackson Foundation. What they do is they support efforts 0:39:19.920 --> 0:39:23.680 to combat human trafficking in the city of Cleveland, Okay, 0:39:24.960 --> 0:39:27.000 And I think this is a great cause. I think 0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:30.239 it's great that Hugh Jackson is now turning this into 0:39:30.320 --> 0:39:33.000 a thing to kind of ceremoniously cleanse the losing out 0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:37.320 of Cleveland and to ceremoniously and to raise money for 0:39:37.440 --> 0:39:41.759 his charity. Now, I bring it back to Trevor Bower. Right, 0:39:42.239 --> 0:39:46.120 Trevor Bauer was on the Cleveland Indians team that the 0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:49.560 Chicago Cubs beating the World Series. Maybe they are now cursed. 0:39:49.640 --> 0:39:54.080 Maybe they need to cleanse the losing. Right, this is 0:39:54.200 --> 0:39:58.320 Cleveland and Cleveland. Bauer could be, you know, supporting Cleveland 0:39:58.480 --> 0:40:02.600 sports and forget a hundred dollars for every Brown that 0:40:02.880 --> 0:40:05.720 you know kind of joins in with you. Hey, Trevor Bauer, 0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:08.799 jump in the lake with Hugh Jackson on June one 0:40:09.719 --> 0:40:13.319 and give the guys at the Hugh Jackson Foundation four 0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:17.239 d and sixty nine cents. It's perfect synergy for the 0:40:17.320 --> 0:40:20.560 city of Cleveland. This is exactly what he should do. 0:40:20.800 --> 0:40:24.719 I find this as a no brainer. Hugh Jackson maybe 0:40:24.920 --> 0:40:27.560 needs to do this to cletense the losing ways. Because 0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:31.480 right now on the poll question, thirty three percent of you, 0:40:31.880 --> 0:40:33.880 we got about almost a hundred votes so far just 0:40:34.000 --> 0:40:37.799 this last hour of you think that Hugh Jackson enters 0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:40.359 with the hottest seat. So jump in the lake, Bro 0:40:40.880 --> 0:40:44.319 and Trevor Bauer. Throw your four twenty and sixty nine 0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:47.200 cents over that way. That's what the stats overbeat cipher 0:40:47.480 --> 0:40:50.839 has to say. But what we're gonna do here, um, 0:40:51.760 --> 0:40:54.040 we break down the rapping athletes, right, So let's do that. 0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:56.799 Let's break down the rapping athletes. We got a new one. 0:40:57.000 --> 0:40:58.520 I want to go down to the Pit of misery 0:40:58.760 --> 0:41:01.799 because my man Mike Florio suggested this one we talked 0:41:01.800 --> 0:41:04.239 about at the night Owl. JP is like, oh, I 0:41:04.320 --> 0:41:06.920 love this guy. We're talking about former Texans running back 0:41:07.200 --> 0:41:10.840 Aryan Foster. All right, here's the funny part. Okay, he 0:41:11.000 --> 0:41:14.960 goes by Bobby Fino. Alright, so check out his a 0:41:15.080 --> 0:41:17.320 k A. Is trying to be like Speeds and spitting statistician, 0:41:17.560 --> 0:41:19.480 the stable genius and vocal minority. What is this the 0:41:19.480 --> 0:41:22.799 Bodega boys U a k A.

I was talking 0:41:28.880 --> 0:41:33.000 to Florio before this. He says he thinks Aryan Foster 0:41:33.160 --> 0:41:36.560 is pretty good a k A. Bobby Fino. He thinks 0:41:36.640 --> 0:41:41.719 Bobby Fino sounds like j Cole.

We're gonna play a 0:41:52.560 --> 0:41:55.400 little bit of that. We can play about seconds of 0:41:55.440 --> 0:41:58.120 that right now here on the Fantasy Freestyle with stats 0:41:58.160 --> 0:41:59.880 over beat cipher that I want to hear with j 0:42:00.120 --> 0:42:01.960 P has to say because he's such a big fan. 0:42:02.360 --> 0:42:05.040 And we'll see if Florio can convince others that are Yeah, 0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:07.719 it sounds like Jane Cole.

So with all to the forbidden, we go, 0:42:35.160 --> 0:42:40.239 like Julia and Romeo day flights to Tokyo love growing 0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:43.480 like brnning Okyo, my kids writing love.

You can be my medicine drinking this 0:42:50.440 --> 0:42:54.160 are thinking this forever that it never is, so you 0:42:54.239 --> 0:42:57.360 can let it leave. I've never been romantic, but I 0:42:57.520 --> 0:43:00.399 love walking with you on his canvas, you know. Yeah, 0:43:01.760 --> 0:43:03.279 as we go to the hook, that's maybe where it 0:43:03.360 --> 0:43:05.319 was Ja Cole ish as we get to the sing song, 0:43:05.400 --> 0:43:07.080 he hook wanted to be like Ja Cole and fifty 0:43:07.120 --> 0:43:10.200 cent back in the day. Alright, Florio, if we got 0:43:10.280 --> 0:43:12.400 Florio in the pit of misery. Florio was high on 0:43:12.560 --> 0:43:14.040 this early on. He said he didn't know if he 0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:16.960 heard this track or others sounded like j Cole. Does 0:43:17.000 --> 0:43:19.120 this still sound like Ja Cole or you, Florio, what 0:43:19.160 --> 0:43:21.080 do you got? I still think his voice sounds a 0:43:21.120 --> 0:43:23.000 lot like Jacole. You would go defend this. You would 0:43:23.040 --> 0:43:25.040 defend this with the stats would be cipher in the 0:43:25.080 --> 0:43:27.120 chat room and stuff, not saying like he's as good 0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:29.040 as Jake Coloria. All right, right, I just think when 0:43:29.080 --> 0:43:31.720 I heard his voice, so it's like, uh, it sounds 0:43:31.719 --> 0:43:33.359 a little bit like j Coole, Like, I think that's 0:43:33.400 --> 0:43:35.759 kind of the style he was trying to emulate. Maybe 0:43:35.880 --> 0:43:38.160 maybe he was trying to emulate that a little storytelling 0:43:38.239 --> 0:43:40.480 those sings song I am mad at you there. I 0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:42.319 just think, I mean, come on, let's let's not let's 0:43:42.320 --> 0:43:44.279 not put the expectations a little No, no, no, I'm 0:43:44.280 --> 0:43:47.520 not saying he's the next J Coler. Alight enough, fair enough. 0:43:47.600 --> 0:43:49.719 Also down to the fantasy pit of misery is the 0:43:49.920 --> 0:43:52.480 night Ow my man JP, maybe the new head of 0:43:52.520 --> 0:43:54.680 marketing for the Fantasy Sports Network, my Man JP. The 0:43:54.800 --> 0:43:58.080 night Owl? You know you were saying, Um, you were 0:43:58.080 --> 0:44:00.359 saying that you're a big fan of Arian Foster. Um 0:44:01.080 --> 0:44:03.960 do you feel confirmed in that? Are you like, oh 0:44:04.040 --> 0:44:07.480 my god, yeah, this is great, like everything Arian Fluster does. 0:44:07.640 --> 0:44:09.200 What do you think about this night Owl? I want 0:44:09.239 --> 0:44:12.319 to hear more. That's pretty good. You want to hear more. Also, 0:44:12.440 --> 0:44:14.640 I'll take the opposite opinion of Mike Florio and say 0:44:14.719 --> 0:44:16.560 the beat is almost J Cole. That brought me back 0:44:16.560 --> 0:44:20.799 to like interesting, Florio. I think the man, and by man, 0:44:20.880 --> 0:44:26.040 I mean kid makes a good point. Yeah, a little 0:44:26.080 --> 0:44:28.200 beat and it could be the beat. It could be 0:44:28.280 --> 0:44:32.279 the beat. I hear that oh, we like this. I'm 0:44:32.320 --> 0:44:36.640 playing this a little more. We like this. Wouldn't all right, 0:44:36.760 --> 0:44:39.000 let's uh, let's keep it moving here on the Fantasy Priestle. 0:44:39.040 --> 0:44:41.480 I'll tell you what, JP. I like that. If you 0:44:41.640 --> 0:44:44.480 do want to hear more, JP, I got another track 0:44:44.640 --> 0:44:46.520 for you. We're not gonna play because it was a 0:44:46.560 --> 0:44:48.800 little foul mouth, like a potty mouth. Okay it was. 0:44:48.880 --> 0:44:52.200 He was cursing like a sailor. Bobby Fino was carson 0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:54.960 like a sailor. Check out a friend, a fan, a kid. 0:44:55.280 --> 0:44:57.400 It's an interesting song. He actually tells the context like 0:44:57.480 --> 0:45:00.960 each versus, like his relationship with a fan, and his 0:45:01.120 --> 0:45:04.120 relationship with a friend as he gets famous, and his 0:45:04.239 --> 0:45:06.520 relationship with a kid. You know, it's just like wants 0:45:06.560 --> 0:45:09.320 him as a role model kind of thing. It's pretty interesting. 0:45:09.400 --> 0:45:11.719 He's actually telling a story there. I like that, but 0:45:11.880 --> 0:45:13.440 like I said, it was a little too potty mouth 0:45:13.520 --> 0:45:15.600 for me. We also got my man Danny Otto down 0:45:15.640 --> 0:45:17.839 there in the Fantasy Pit of Misery. You know, they're 0:45:17.880 --> 0:45:20.200 running triple duty down there, trying to make your boy's 0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:22.720 speed sound good, keeping it so hot that we sweat 0:45:22.840 --> 0:45:27.439 steam right here on the Award nominated Fantasy freestyle.

You know, if you guys are talking big 0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:44.720 time fans status would beat Cipher's strong style Lance Davis Taco, 0:45:44.840 --> 0:45:47.880 crunch big shout out to you guys. Hey, Danny, what 0:45:47.920 --> 0:45:49.840 are they talking about in the chat We're talking a 0:45:50.160 --> 0:45:54.160 little bit about everything, christ the freestyle. I'll talk about anything, baby. 0:45:54.200 --> 0:45:57.880 What's up currently? We've been talking about TRL Okay, Carson Daily. 0:45:58.320 --> 0:46:00.600 I saw that. I heard that commercial to floor the 0:46:00.680 --> 0:46:02.680 young Buck. Gret Susman tried to get at him. Let 0:46:02.719 --> 0:46:04.960 me tell you something about that real quick. Everybody in 0:46:05.000 --> 0:46:08.520 the chat room. Back in a day, I used to intern, okay, 0:46:08.560 --> 0:46:11.600 when I was in college, I used to intern at MTV. Okay, 0:46:11.600 --> 0:46:13.479 it was my job to, you know, do random stuff 0:46:13.520 --> 0:46:15.640 like answer the fan mail for Jan Brady at Nick 0:46:15.680 --> 0:46:18.080 and knight right and do random stuff like that. But 0:46:18.160 --> 0:46:20.120 this is when t R was big. So I'd go 0:46:20.200 --> 0:46:22.359 out and get lunch, you know, and then it would 0:46:22.360 --> 0:46:24.120 take me twenty minutes to get back to my desk 0:46:24.120 --> 0:46:26.480 because I had to fight the throngs of people that 0:46:26.600 --> 0:46:29.480 were waiting outside the damn window to wave at Bust 0:46:29.520 --> 0:46:32.960 the Rhymes and Janet Jackson. Okay, so I got a 0:46:33.040 --> 0:46:35.200 lot of beef with TRL. But okay, we're talking t 0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:38.440 r L. That's my hot take on t r L. Danny, 0:46:38.880 --> 0:46:42.239 what else we got before that? I mean, they we've 0:46:42.320 --> 0:46:44.200 kind of been going through everything. I know. At the 0:46:44.239 --> 0:46:46.040 beginning of the chat room, we were talking about tight 0:46:46.160 --> 0:46:48.560 ends because you mentioned tight ends for we were talking 0:46:48.560 --> 0:46:50.040 about the tight ends and how I think the second 0:46:50.120 --> 0:46:52.719 year tight ends make a big old jump. I like that, 0:46:53.160 --> 0:46:56.040 so big shout out of course the Strong Style, Yo, Danny, 0:46:56.080 --> 0:46:57.759 do me a favorite chat back.

I want to know what 0:47:04.480 --> 0:47:06.600 he thinks about his heal turn. No speak of the 0:47:06.680 --> 0:47:09.040 English and stuff like that.

And the last thing I want to do here, 0:47:19.440 --> 0:47:21.880 because you know the status of beach. We we uh, 0:47:22.640 --> 0:47:24.920 we talk it all here. We talked sports, we talk 0:47:24.960 --> 0:47:27.520 sports culture. We talked about you need to when your 0:47:27.600 --> 0:47:31.080 leagues and when that cash um. But we also, you know, 0:47:31.120 --> 0:47:33.640 we talk love. We talked love here. Remember we had 0:47:33.719 --> 0:47:38.040 my man um with the love doctor, good old Donnie Burns. 0:47:38.080 --> 0:47:40.239 But we're back to JP, JP, I want to get 0:47:40.280 --> 0:47:45.640 your take on this story. It is prom season, you know. Uh, 0:47:45.719 --> 0:47:47.520 and you know, JP, you probably had your prom what 0:47:47.680 --> 0:47:50.680 like two years ago or something like that. You had 0:47:50.719 --> 0:47:53.279 a prom two three years ago, two years ago? Okay, 0:47:53.360 --> 0:47:58.000 So check this out. J Feely, uh, you know, longtime 0:47:58.080 --> 0:48:01.680 kicker in the NFL. His daughter is going to the 0:48:01.760 --> 0:48:04.320 prom this year. Okay. You know she's maybe a senior 0:48:04.400 --> 0:48:08.040 or whatever. She's dating this guy. Right. There's a picture 0:48:08.120 --> 0:48:11.640 that Jay Feely has on social media and it's uh, 0:48:12.280 --> 0:48:15.920 his daughter arm in arm with like her date, you know, 0:48:16.200 --> 0:48:19.719 and dad, and Jay Feely is in the back with 0:48:19.840 --> 0:48:21.879 a kind of threatening look to the dad to the kid, 0:48:22.320 --> 0:48:23.719 to the boy. He was about to take his daughter 0:48:23.800 --> 0:48:27.040 to the prom and he's holding a gun okay in 0:48:27.120 --> 0:48:30.160 this picture, right and the post just says wishing my 0:48:30.320 --> 0:48:33.160 beautiful daughter and her date a great time at prom, 0:48:33.480 --> 0:48:39.040 but he's brandishing the weapon, intimidating the kid. He got 0:48:39.080 --> 0:48:41.800 a little flak for this on social media, giving the timing, 0:48:42.280 --> 0:48:44.880 given the fact that there's you know, kids in schools 0:48:44.920 --> 0:48:47.239 getting shot up now it seems like every damn week 0:48:47.760 --> 0:48:51.040 in this country, right and then he uh, he had 0:48:51.080 --> 0:48:55.080 to apologize the next day. Jay Jay Feely puts out 0:48:55.120 --> 0:48:57.880 on his social media the prom picture I posted was 0:48:58.040 --> 0:49:01.759 obviously intended to be a joe. My daughter has dated 0:49:01.800 --> 0:49:04.080 a boyfriend for over a year, and they knew I 0:49:04.280 --> 0:49:09.200 was joking. I take gun safety seriously. Then, in parentheses, 0:49:09.280 --> 0:49:11.759 he says the gun was not loaded and had no 0:49:11.880 --> 0:49:14.200 clip in it, and I did not intend to be 0:49:14.320 --> 0:49:18.239 insensitive to that important issue. JP. I have so many 0:49:18.320 --> 0:49:20.680 questions for you. First of all, how would you feel 0:49:20.840 --> 0:49:24.160 if your dad's you know, your dates dad, when you 0:49:24.320 --> 0:49:26.919 roll up, you know it's packing. How would you feel 0:49:26.960 --> 0:49:30.040 about that? I wouldn't feel great, Dane. Yeah right, you'd 0:49:30.080 --> 0:49:32.200 be a little intimidated. You'd have our home by midnight. 0:49:32.560 --> 0:49:35.680 Oh yeah, there you go, fair enough before we all 0:49:35.719 --> 0:49:38.200 turn into pumpkins. But I think the point he was 0:49:38.239 --> 0:49:40.160 trying to I think he's just trying to like he 0:49:40.320 --> 0:49:43.879 was trying to be funny, but timing is everything. Now 0:49:44.120 --> 0:49:47.520 is not necessarily the time to play that. That's like, 0:49:47.680 --> 0:49:51.560 I'm not making domestic violence or sexual harassment jokes right now. 0:49:52.360 --> 0:49:56.000 It's a little sensitive right now. You know, gun violence 0:49:56.120 --> 0:50:00.560 is a very sensitive topic right now, especially with high 0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:05.800 school students. Like just just just tone deaf in my opinion. 0:50:05.960 --> 0:50:08.160 Right So, so my question for you, JP is like, 0:50:09.440 --> 0:50:13.839 is this funny? I don't think it's funny. I mean, 0:50:13.920 --> 0:50:17.120 he's trying to make the joke, but wrong time, wrong place. 0:50:17.800 --> 0:50:19.640 He just completely missed the mark. I get what he's 0:50:19.640 --> 0:50:22.640 trying to get at, be the stereotypical like hard dad, 0:50:22.800 --> 0:50:24.680 but he just kind of he kind of missed the point. 0:50:24.719 --> 0:50:28.160 I think he missed the point as well. Um, JP, 0:50:28.360 --> 0:50:30.520 just in case you're still on the prom circuit, because 0:50:30.560 --> 0:50:32.000 you know, now you're an older man to some of 0:50:32.080 --> 0:50:34.600 these women, watch it because they may be brandishing weapons 0:50:35.000 --> 0:50:37.239 when you go to prom. Also, remember last year we 0:50:37.280 --> 0:50:40.560 did that thing. Levan, the girl's name I think was 0:50:40.640 --> 0:50:44.920 Ava Tarantino. She was like, uh, Levan, we go to 0:50:44.960 --> 0:50:46.560 the prom with me? And he was like, listen, if 0:50:46.600 --> 0:50:48.880 you get whatever. It was ten thousand likes whatever it was, 0:50:48.960 --> 0:50:51.600 and she blew past that. But then the school said, no, 0:50:51.800 --> 0:50:55.200 you can't bring Levan because he represents poor character because 0:50:55.239 --> 0:50:57.640 he was like suspended for marijuana or something like that 0:50:57.800 --> 0:51:00.200 or holding out, whatever the case. Maybe Levan big shout 0:51:00.239 --> 0:51:03.319 out to him helping Speeds his fantasy team last year 0:51:03.400 --> 0:51:08.719 get to a fantasy championship. Dilley, Dilley to everybody. I wrote, 0:51:08.840 --> 0:51:12.920 Levy on Bell Yeah, Buddy Levan, Belle DeAndre Hopkins did 0:51:12.960 --> 0:51:14.880 it for me. Zach Ertz did it for me. The 0:51:14.960 --> 0:51:17.759 Minnesota defense and the Baltimore defense. My two defenses last 0:51:17.800 --> 0:51:21.440 year on Minnesota and Baltimore, they did well for me. 0:51:21.600 --> 0:51:23.680 All right, but I digress. So, yeah, I think this 0:51:23.800 --> 0:51:25.680 is bad timing. But I wanted to share that with 0:51:25.840 --> 0:51:28.479 stats over Beat Cipher.
