Speaker 1: show for you, okay. We got some NFL stuff we
Speaker 1: want to get into. I have something I'm doing on
Speaker 1: Roto Experts in the morning seven and nine am. Right
Speaker 1: here on this network. We're getting ready to release the
Speaker 1: seatings and the brackets for the Face of Baseball. Another
Speaker 1: kind of bracket contest we're gonna be doing over the
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. I'm gonna get my best friend
Speaker 1: forever to chime in on that. I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: also which positions, um you want to invest in for rookies, okay,
Speaker 1: and which positions you don't because of their kind of
Speaker 1: natural arc and curve. We're gonna be talking about that,
Speaker 1: and you know we put the fun and functional sports content. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got a rapping athlete to break down, I got
Speaker 1: some other stories to share. We gotta pull question up
Speaker 1: as well, Okay because check this out. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you guys saw, but over the weekend there was
Speaker 1: some stuff that went down in Dallas with the Dallas Cowboys. Okay,
Speaker 1: First of all, wide receiver Terrence Williams gets gets arrested,
Speaker 1: is drunk. He crashes his Lamborghini. Right, Um, remember when
Speaker 1: I asked, like, which cowboy will be the second one
Speaker 1: drafted after Ezekiel Elliott? People might have guessed Terrence Williams
Speaker 1: because he was slated to be like the number one
Speaker 1: wide receiver. There. They bring in Alan Hearns, They got
Speaker 1: Cold Beasley there, right, but he was slated to really
Speaker 1: take a big jump, not if he's crashing Lamborghinis. But
Speaker 1: what also happened in Dallas is Terrell Owen comes out
Speaker 1: former Cowboys says he doesn't know how Jason Garrett still
Speaker 1: has a job, you know, saying that the Cowboys have
Speaker 1: not improved under his tenure. And it got me to thinking,
Speaker 1: is Jason Garrett on the hot seat? You know what
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys. This could go off the rails pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: You know, um, you know the kind of wide receiver
Speaker 1: they might need, guy like Dead's Bryant. But we'll get
Speaker 1: into that a little bit later on. So I don't
Speaker 1: wait a second. Is Garrett on the hot seat? And
Speaker 1: then I thought who else might be on the hot seat?
Speaker 1: You know a coach that we talked about for a
Speaker 1: while a couple of times, Hugh Jackson, He could be
Speaker 1: on the hot seat. You know who else I think
Speaker 1: could be on the hot seat? Is the cursive hard
Speaker 1: knocks Dirk Cutter in Tampa. If Jamis doesn't take another
Speaker 1: step they've been talking about Old Tampa's primed to take
Speaker 1: a step. It hasn't happened in a couple of years.
Speaker 1: So we got a poll question up right now, okay,
Speaker 1: and you can catch me on Twitter at spitting speeds.
Speaker 1: Which NFL coach enters two thousand eighteen with the hottest
Speaker 1: hot seat? Is it a guy like Jason Garrett? Is
Speaker 1: it a guy like Hugh Jackson? Is it Dirt Cutter?
Speaker 1: Or is it someone else? We got people putting in
Speaker 1: writing candidates right now, left and right. Okay, think about
Speaker 1: a guy like maybe Vance Joseph, think about a guy
Speaker 1: like Marvin Lewis. Okay, So that is the question we
Speaker 1: are asking you here on this episode of The Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: By the way, this is episode three hundred and nine,
Speaker 1: maybe three hundred and ten. A lot of episodes here
Speaker 1: of the Fantasy Freestyle means all of y'all out there,
Speaker 1: the stats over beat Cipher. You continue to want what
Speaker 1: you need to win your leagues and win that cash.
Speaker 1: We talked about what was going on in Dallas. The
Speaker 1: big other NFL news is listen, we got O T
Speaker 1: A s starting to pop off, right, And you know
Speaker 1: what's interesting is Odell Beckham is there. But here are
Speaker 1: the people who are not. TB twelve Tom Brady still
Speaker 1: not working out with the Pats, Gronk still not working
Speaker 1: out with the Pats. Do you think maybe the two
Speaker 1: of them are sending some kind of message to the
Speaker 1: Belichick regime. Maybe they want to instead work out with Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Alex Guerrero TV twelve Fitness. Are they
Speaker 1: sending a message or is this must do about nothing? Um?
Speaker 1: I think in the Patriots case, it would be interesting.
Speaker 1: Remember I've been predicting the fall of Rome for a
Speaker 1: couple of months over there. No Julio Jones in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: He wants to revisit his contract. We'll talk about Julio
Speaker 1: Jones a little bit later on. And why I think
Speaker 1: if you're Julio, you better get your money now. You
Speaker 1: better do it now, similar to what Charlie Blackman did
Speaker 1: ahead of the game getting that extension. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: that a little bit later on. Also, no Aaron Donald
Speaker 1: for the Rams. Remember he was thinking about holding it
Speaker 1: out last year as well. And no Levy on Bell
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was thinking about holding out
Speaker 1: last year as well. They continue to do the same
Speaker 1: old song and dance. They will be there for a
Speaker 1: week one. Not a lot to think about on that. Also,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you um, I don't know if
Speaker 1: we've talked about this, but did you see that the
Speaker 1: Browns are named on hard Knocks? And I think that's interesting, Ay,
Speaker 1: the curse of hard knocks? Right, But you can't really
Speaker 1: go much further down than one in thirty one in
Speaker 1: your last two seasons, you can't go much further down
Speaker 1: than ut of the poll. Right now, thinking that Hugh
Speaker 1: Jackson has the hottest seat of all I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit higher than most on the Browns because of all
Speaker 1: the storylines that are there. Honestly, Hard Knocks picked a great,
Speaker 1: you know team quite frankly because they got some weapons. Now,
Speaker 1: the Josh Gordon's story, well that's a weapon. The Drivis
Speaker 1: Landry story, that's a weapon. This running back room between
Speaker 1: Hide and Chubb and Duke, these are weapons. The quarterbacks
Speaker 1: saga with Bigger Mayfield with T Mobile, who I think
Speaker 1: is going to hold onto this starting job and leverage
Speaker 1: better weapons than he ever had with the Buffalo Bills
Speaker 1: and lead this Brown's team to a number that is
Speaker 1: well over their over under that you can check on
Speaker 1: my bookie dot a g Right now, I believe the
Speaker 1: overunder for the Cleveland Browns right now is five, and
Speaker 1: I think they will win six games this year. I
Speaker 1: think they will not be in last place in the
Speaker 1: a f C North. We'll get into that in a
Speaker 1: future episode of The Fantasy Freestyle. Okay, we're gonna be
Speaker 1: giving you my kind of early read on over unders
Speaker 1: on division previews. We're gonna be getting into that in
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks after Memorial Day hits and we're
Speaker 1: officially in a summer, we're gonna start our division by
Speaker 1: division prep. We're gonna start our over unders for teams
Speaker 1: because now because it's legal, uh in some places. Maybe
Speaker 1: on my bookie Thatt a g you're gonna try and
Speaker 1: make that cash. Also interesting note about the Detroit running
Speaker 1: back room. You know that they're gonna sign this kid
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson's their rookie out of Auburn. I believe
Speaker 1: they got Legarrett Blunt who they signed in the offseason.
Speaker 1: You know theoretic is there as a pass catching back.
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on a mirror Abdullah. I think a
Speaker 1: mirror Abdulah is gonna be the guy without a seat
Speaker 1: when the music stops. I think a Mirabdulah will be
Speaker 1: looking for work sometime potentially the summer. He'll either get
Speaker 1: cut or he'll be a little bit of a trade bait,
Speaker 1: you know. Um with guys like Matt Jones taking visits
Speaker 1: and signing with guys like Terrence West making the rounds.
Speaker 1: With DeMarco Murray still out there, keep an eye on
Speaker 1: a mirror Abdula. I think he is more viable than
Speaker 1: a guy like Terence West if he would ever be
Speaker 1: out there on the open market. Also gotta let you
Speaker 1: guys know that Johnny Football. Yeah, I said it, Johnny
Speaker 1: Football signed with the Hamilton's Tiger Cats. Big shout out
Speaker 1: to my man lin Manuel Miranda. When it comes to Hamilton's,
Speaker 1: I wonder if he greased the wheels at all. They're doubtful,
Speaker 1: but um, I think it's actually a good move. Listen,
Speaker 1: he only had maybe like five suitors in the NFL anyway,
Speaker 1: and they weren't gonna take a flyer on him. Now
Speaker 1: that we're gonna wait for injury maybe much further down
Speaker 1: in the summer, you know, So this is an opportunity
Speaker 1: for him to play professional football, put some stuff on tape,
Speaker 1: continue the narrative that he is rehabbing his image. I
Speaker 1: think this is a good look. This also proves that,
Speaker 1: like he does love football. You know, he's kind of
Speaker 1: eating some of that humble pie, taking a step down
Speaker 1: a little bit, and like, no, I'll do whatever I
Speaker 1: gotta do to play football. So I like what's happening
Speaker 1: at a Johnny Football. I wanted to mention that, but
Speaker 1: I did talk about this aging curve, which is something
Speaker 1: I want to mention here on this episode of the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle, right here on the Fantasy Sports Network Award
Speaker 1: nominated Fantasy Freestyle. By the Way, your boy, Dame Martinez
Speaker 1: Speed has spitting status this or the Staple Genes and
Speaker 1: Vocal Minority Award nominated Big Things here on Fantasy Sports Network.
Speaker 1: One of talk about the aging curve by position. I
Speaker 1: keep on telling you guys that rookie tight ends are
Speaker 1: fool gazy forgot about them. Rookie tight ends you want
Speaker 1: to forget about because they and you're one. It's too
Speaker 1: hard for them to learn the new blocking schemes and
Speaker 1: the route tree. I tell you that all the time. Okay,
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram, you're gonna be like Dane. What about Evan Ingram?
Speaker 1: He was a top five tight end this year. He
Speaker 1: was a rookie fo gaz forgot about him. And let
Speaker 1: me tell you why the Giants wide receiver corps was
Speaker 1: eviscerated last year. Oldell Beckham gone, Brandon Marshall gone, Sterling Shepherd,
Speaker 1: who I interviewed when he was sitting here right in
Speaker 1: this very seat in Studio thirty four. Gone for some
Speaker 1: of the time right there was no one else left
Speaker 1: for targets. So that's where Evan Ingram popped off. I
Speaker 1: think Evan M. Ingram is a prime regression candidate. If
Speaker 1: you want to know the truth, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham is back. All of a sudden, you have
Speaker 1: Sae Kwon Barkley, you have a healthy shep. I don't
Speaker 1: think here as high on the pecking war or kid. Sorry,
Speaker 1: but in general, I don't like first year tight ends. Okay,
Speaker 1: And I got some data from PFF that back it,
Speaker 1: backs it up. They did study looking at all like positions,
Speaker 1: so running back, wide out and tight end and kind
Speaker 1: of their career arc, you know, and they and what
Speaker 1: is kind of the baseline of like their maximum value
Speaker 1: and tight ends in year one only realized thirty of
Speaker 1: their actual value. That's their breakdown. Okay, So but the
Speaker 1: tight end see a huge jump in year two. They
Speaker 1: go from thirty three pc of their value to of
Speaker 1: their value. So what does that mean? That means the
Speaker 1: breakout concept of the tight end. You know, guys who
Speaker 1: have been you know, either learning under others or guys
Speaker 1: that are in their second year that can be taking
Speaker 1: a jump. These are guys that I like for your
Speaker 1: for your tight ends. I don't like Kevin Ingram, okay,
Speaker 1: but I love me, you know, as does everybody. I
Speaker 1: love me some Hunter Henry. I love me some Trey Burton.
Speaker 1: And I love me some Ricky Seals Jones out there
Speaker 1: in Arizona. I'm telling you right now, he is my
Speaker 1: tight end, Diamond and the rough Ricky Seals Jones. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is the second year guy primed to make this bump.
Speaker 1: Defenses are gonna be keying in on David Johnson d J.
Speaker 1: Two K. Defense wives will be keying in in the
Speaker 1: passing game on Larry Fitzgerald. And I think you know, Bradford,
Speaker 1: who's made of eggshells, is gonna be gone by October onet. Anyway,
Speaker 1: by Columbus Day, it will be the rookie quarterback. What's
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback's best friend, his tight end over the middle,
Speaker 1: his security blanket, as it were, the Lionus factor. Okay,
Speaker 1: and that's Rickie Seals Jones. I love me some Rookie
Speaker 1: Seals Jones. I love me some Hunter Henry. I love
Speaker 1: you some Trey Burton, another second year guy to keep
Speaker 1: an eye on. I'm gonna make my man Mike Florio
Speaker 1: down there in the fantasy pit of misery laugh a
Speaker 1: little bit. I was early on him last year, Mike,
Speaker 1: but I didn't realize that you're only thirty three percent
Speaker 1: of your value in year one and then you jump
Speaker 1: up in year two. I hope you know who I'm
Speaker 1: talking about, because Jimmy g is never lost on the
Speaker 1: tight end. He's gonna be throwing to is my man,
Speaker 1: George Kittle. Keep an eye on Kittle and Ricky Seals
Speaker 1: Jones as second year tight ends. You know you know
Speaker 1: about Ingram, Fazy, you know about O. J. Howard. He
Speaker 1: still needs to compete with making America braid again. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I like some of these other off the radar
Speaker 1: tight ends if you want to kind of stream tight end.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are talking about if you don't
Speaker 1: wind up with Gronk, if you don't wind up with Kelsey,
Speaker 1: if you don't wind up with Earth's to drop down
Speaker 1: is big to the what some people think of Ingram,
Speaker 1: I don't. I think it's Hunter Henry still the Delaney
Speaker 1: Walkers of the world. Okay, and then some of these
Speaker 1: other guys take a chance on them. They are primed
Speaker 1: to make a jump in running backs. You can get
Speaker 1: them a little bit earlier. We've seen this with girly.
Speaker 1: We've seen this with Zeke, We've seen this with four Net. Recently,
Speaker 1: we've seen this with Kamara. Guys like Kareem Hunt. Okay,
Speaker 1: running backs value, Um, they get eighty what is it?
Speaker 1: Let's see they get eighty eight percent of their baseline
Speaker 1: value right away. So rookie, rookie running backs coming and
Speaker 1: come in and produce for you, all right? I think
Speaker 1: some will in year one this year as well. We
Speaker 1: know about Sae Kwon Barkley. I think there's a couple
Speaker 1: of guys who are primed and ready to go. I've
Speaker 1: been telling you about this for a while. Elijah Penny
Speaker 1: three down back potential, Ronald Jones and Tampa nobody in
Speaker 1: front of him, you believe in pop Quiz Jocquiz, I
Speaker 1: don't anymore. Okay, But the guy I like is Royce
Speaker 1: Freeman in Denver, I don't believe. And DeVante Booker I
Speaker 1: believe if anything, he's the third down kind of back.
Speaker 1: Think about Royce Freeman out there and wide received. And
Speaker 1: but what they do say, excuse me about the running
Speaker 1: backs is that they peak in year four. And there's
Speaker 1: a couple of fourth year running backs that I think
Speaker 1: are very interesting the first that I'm gonna give you.
Speaker 1: I am high on this guy. I am high on
Speaker 1: Jerick McKinnon. He's entering year four. The San Francisco forty
Speaker 1: Niners paid money to go get him and sign him.
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan talking a lot about how he's gonna play
Speaker 1: the DeVante Freeman role in that offense. I love me
Speaker 1: some Jerick McKinnon this year. Uh, Davante Freeman in his
Speaker 1: fourth year. I also like Freeman this year as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's the sweet spot. The wide receivers are a little
Speaker 1: bit different. Okay, same thing. Rookie whiteouts don't usually do it.
Speaker 1: I'm down on Calvin Ridney Ridley fantasy herd. Okay, you
Speaker 1: got Julio, you got Freeman, you got Mohammed. HiT's a
Speaker 1: new day. Keevin Coleman as well. All Right, Calvin Ridley
Speaker 1: is gonna be a better football player than fantasy football
Speaker 1: player in my opinion. D J. Moore is the lone exception.
Speaker 1: But I like some of these Year five guys. They
Speaker 1: have Year five as the peak for wide receiver guys
Speaker 1: like the Landry the feeling, the Davante Adams, Davante Adams
Speaker 1: and Mike Evans setting up to have huge years. In
Speaker 1: my opinion, they both are wide out ones. But here's
Speaker 1: the interesting part, and I'll leave you guys with this.
Speaker 1: They consider year eight the start of the decline for
Speaker 1: wide receivers. And there are some big name wide receivers
Speaker 1: entering their eighth year. Julio Jones among them. See how
Speaker 1: Right bring it full circle? Julio Jones among them seeing
Speaker 1: O T. A. S. I think he needs to get
Speaker 1: an extension now because he may start to be on
Speaker 1: the decline and not get as much on the market.
Speaker 1: His stock is high right now. He needs to cash in. A. J.
Speaker 1: Green fits into this category of year eight. Remember we've
Speaker 1: we've seen him have some injuries in the last couple
Speaker 1: of years, so maybe you know that's something to worry about.
Speaker 1: What a J. Green. Here are two other guys that
Speaker 1: are entering year eight that I think are going to
Speaker 1: go down this year, and not only because they're on
Speaker 1: the downside of their career trajectory, but also because I
Speaker 1: don't buy in their teams or how they're being used
Speaker 1: this year. The first is Doug Baldwin. Doug Baldwin entering
Speaker 1: year eight. Okay, I'm worried about the Seattle offense. I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna change it a little bit. They're gonna
Speaker 1: try and let Penny be the bell cow here. They
Speaker 1: believe in some of these other wide receivers. They love
Speaker 1: lock It. If you listen to the King Scott Angle,
Speaker 1: they love Amari Barbo out there. I wouldn't be surprised
Speaker 1: if Baldwin takes a slight step back. He's always been
Speaker 1: one of the tried and true, under respected borderline wide
Speaker 1: out ones, wide out twos. He's gonna back up and
Speaker 1: be more into the back end wide out to category
Speaker 1: this year. The last one is Randall Cobb. Randall Cob,
Speaker 1: I think is also on the downside of that. Davanta
Speaker 1: Adams is the one that's rising up. Remember Jimmy Graham.
Speaker 1: They're also taking away some of those probably touchdown targets
Speaker 1: as well, So there's a little bit of look at that.
Speaker 1: When we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle on
Speaker 1: the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network, we're gonna turn
Speaker 1: our attention to baseball here. I got some news and
Speaker 1: notes for you, some very interesting things with the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Rays starting rotation. We're gonna get into and also
Speaker 1: we're trying to set up the brackets here for the
Speaker 1: face of baseball tournament brackets. I do this on road too, Experts.
Speaker 1: In the morning, I'm gonna get the inside from the

Speaker 1: That's how we do it as well. Like I said,

Speaker 1: ones and twos making it happen over there. Big shout
Speaker 1: out to my man Kenneth Cashman and Rhodo where for
Speaker 1: dropping that us. That's over Beats verts. Gotta love, gotta
Speaker 1: love that. All right, So news and notes here in
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball that I wanted to before we turn
Speaker 1: it to my man, Mikey Florio and we start talking
Speaker 1: about the face of baseball. Um. The first thing that
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you this is very very interesting. The
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays are like a um, They're like a
Speaker 1: Petrie dish. You know, they're really they they they're just
Speaker 1: trying things out and seeing what grows inside the Petri dish.
Speaker 1: They're like a little lab for baseball. And their newest
Speaker 1: idea is to have not one, but two bullpen days
Speaker 1: right now. Um. You know, Archer, Faria and Snell are
Speaker 1: there only starting pitchers, okay, and they are literally going
Speaker 1: at it a bullpen days, um now, two times in
Speaker 1: a row through the rotation. Sergio Romo last weekend started
Speaker 1: on Saturday, went like an inning, and then he started
Speaker 1: the game again on Sunday, when I believe in ending
Speaker 1: and a third okay. And what they're doing is they're saying, hey,
Speaker 1: every man up, it's committee day, okay. And I think
Speaker 1: this is very interesting for a number of reasons. One
Speaker 1: seems to work. Zach cos Art on the Angels, he
Speaker 1: said he didn't like this. You know, the baseball players
Speaker 1: are such creature of habit and routines. They analyze video,
Speaker 1: you know that they try to get the book on
Speaker 1: the starter. And when it's like an All Star game
Speaker 1: and the you know, the guy's gonna only be in
Speaker 1: for one inning, they can't get a read on it.
Speaker 1: You know, they gotta know who they're seeing for their
Speaker 1: first couple of bats. Zak Cozard said he does not
Speaker 1: like what they're doing because it messes with his routine
Speaker 1: check for the Tampa Bay Rays. The other thing is
Speaker 1: I think and I would love to get my momm
Speaker 1: Mike Florio's thoughts on this. Mikey, I think this is
Speaker 1: brilliant for the Tampa Bay Rays financially. If you're a
Speaker 1: team that you know you're not contending, You've got a
Speaker 1: lot of young kids who you may want to get
Speaker 1: an opportunity later in the year to be able to
Speaker 1: get some innings, get some experience under their belt. Why
Speaker 1: clog up the rotation with other guys, the older guys.
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing, fiscally, I think it makes sense.
Speaker 1: Why sign some guy to be your third starter to
Speaker 1: a three year, thirty four million dollar deal when You're
Speaker 1: not trying to win anyway. All that's doing is taking
Speaker 1: is dead money on your books. Let the kids play,
Speaker 1: you said to me, Florial down in the pit of misery.
Speaker 1: You're always about letting the kids play. They're just taking
Speaker 1: it to an extreme down in Tampa, clearing the way
Speaker 1: for everybody to be able to have some opportunity and flash.
Speaker 1: And why have a contract saddled around the franchise's neck
Speaker 1: or the spot in the rotation filled you know, when
Speaker 1: you could be having kids up. And that's the way
Speaker 1: I think about that. I'm gonna get Florios thoughts on
Speaker 1: it a little bit later on. What I want to
Speaker 1: also really quickly tell you about is on Roto Experts
Speaker 1: in the Morning, we talk every Wednesday about the closer
Speaker 1: situations around Major League Baseball and we do that based
Speaker 1: off an article that George Kurtz puts out on Rhodo
Speaker 1: Experts dot com, which is amazing. Okay, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: some clothes to talk tomorrow, but just some closer news
Speaker 1: and notes because this is you. There's some shifting roles
Speaker 1: here out there in the major leagues. Okay, And if
Speaker 1: you're in a Roodo format or head to head. You
Speaker 1: may need some saves, So I'm over here trying to
Speaker 1: help you. That's what we do. That's why we win. Chips. Baby,
Speaker 1: all right, So I'm gonna tell you right now. In
Speaker 1: Chicago with the White Sox, this is now Nate Jones's job.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, this is Nate Jones's. Bob Sorio was
Speaker 1: nowhere to be found over the weekend when the White
Speaker 1: Socks need to nail down some games. They even had
Speaker 1: like Jace Fry come in. But he's really a situational righty,
Speaker 1: lefty guy. Nate Jones, I believe, is going to take
Speaker 1: that role. He's the one who I think gets saves
Speaker 1: moving forward for the Chide Socks. Okay, um in Anaheim
Speaker 1: with the Angels, there's an opportunity here. Okay, Middleton is done.
Speaker 1: I believe he's having Tommy john surgery. Okay, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people on spec went originally to Jim Johnson. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I think it's Blake Parker. I think it's Blake Parker
Speaker 1: is the guy you need to get. He got the
Speaker 1: last save I believe for the Angels. He's the guy
Speaker 1: I think if the Angels are in tight games, they're
Speaker 1: gonna be saving he's the guy with the best stuff, okay,
Speaker 1: and I think that's where social is gonna land ultimately.
Speaker 1: All right, here's another two other spots I want you
Speaker 1: to look at. One is Baltimore. Okay, and I say
Speaker 1: this because Zack Britton pitching, pitching, batting practice. It sounds
Speaker 1: like next week he's gonna go on a rehab assignment.
Speaker 1: They said, after Memorial Day, he's gonna go on a
Speaker 1: rehab assignment next week. After that, it's just about, you know,
Speaker 1: getting him to be able to go back to back days,
Speaker 1: things of that nature. Zach Britton will be back pretty soon, Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean most people, you know, most leagues. I guess
Speaker 1: he's been taken and stashed, you know, probably already. I'm
Speaker 1: looking in my league. I'm looking in my league where
Speaker 1: I did that. I took and I drafted Zach Britton
Speaker 1: and stashed him. And he is owned right now. Zach
Speaker 1: Britton is own. Let me bring it up for you.
Speaker 1: Zach Britton is only owned in of leagues. That means
Speaker 1: you and your boys are at the bar, you know,
Speaker 1: four of you two if you can go right now,
Speaker 1: pick up Zack Britton. Stash him on you d L,
Speaker 1: and then you will have a bona fide closer for
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. He's coming along nicely. Okay,
Speaker 1: So that's another spot I wanna mention, and the fourth
Speaker 1: is keep an eye in Milwaukee. Keep an eye in Milwaukee. Okay. Listen,
Speaker 1: Corey Knable comes back from the d L. They're working
Speaker 1: him back in the same way. I was just telling
Speaker 1: you about um what they'll eventually do with Brittain Um
Speaker 1: and Cannabel did get the save for the Brewers, I
Speaker 1: believe last night. But I mean, Josh Hayder is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Josh Hayder is absolutely ridiculous. I think he's still gonna
Speaker 1: have this like two winning kind of Andrew Miller role.
Speaker 1: I believe you know, he's got more case for nine
Speaker 1: than anybody right now. Okay, So if you had Hayter,
Speaker 1: like keep him and you know, be very you know,
Speaker 1: I love the ratios that he gives you. All right,
Speaker 1: is what we're gonna do here on the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Network, which boy Dame Martinez be's
Speaker 1: the spitting statistician, the stable genius, and vocal minority. When
Speaker 1: you're a league, when the cash with the stats over
Speaker 1: beat Cipher. I got Mikey Florio down there in the
Speaker 1: pit of misery. Uh, Mikey Florio, how you doing? Man?
Speaker 1: Are you with me? I'm good, I'm with you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? Man? What do you
Speaker 1: think about? First of all, the Sergio Romo starting back
Speaker 1: to back games, and I would actually messes up Zach
Speaker 1: Cozard even he said he really didn't like it. It
Speaker 1: messes up his prep. And I think it's a financial
Speaker 1: smart move financially for the Rays to do it in
Speaker 1: this way. What do you think about what they're doing?
Speaker 1: Not only that they could throw someone out there to pitch.
Speaker 1: You know a couple of innings, the guy on Saturday
Speaker 1: who came in after Romo went six and Yarbro I
Speaker 1: think it was right and got the win. He's basically
Speaker 1: a starting pitcher there, but using Romo first throws the
Speaker 1: other team off. I think the race constantly gotta be
Speaker 1: innovative because they don't have the financial money to keep
Speaker 1: up with other That's what I'm saying. They're the Petrie
Speaker 1: Dish of the Major League Baseball exactly. And it also
Speaker 1: helps if you are a Blake Snell or Chris Archer
Speaker 1: or Jacob Fario owner because they're pushing those guys deeper
Speaker 1: into games because you gotta keep the bullpen fresh because
Speaker 1: it's bullpen day of the time. Now, apparently that's a
Speaker 1: great point. That's a great point, Florio. So you know,
Speaker 1: if you have an Archer, if you have a Fario,
Speaker 1: if you have a Snell, right, they're gonna push it.
Speaker 1: Does that hurt those guys because all those guys are
Speaker 1: pretty young too, Florio? You know all those guys, you know,
Speaker 1: are they still in the range where they like have
Speaker 1: innings limits later on to the season. What happens when
Speaker 1: they're pushing a hundred sixty eight innings and they literally
Speaker 1: don't have an innings eater on the rotation? Yeah, luckily
Speaker 1: for them. Blake Snell last year went about a hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty in the year. Archer is like, but but yeah,
Speaker 1: y him, I'm not sure about But I told Greg
Speaker 1: this on BFF the other day. I was watching Blake
Speaker 1: Snell because I I have I Mr Blake Snell. I
Speaker 1: have to watch him. He goes six innings, he's over
Speaker 1: a hundred pitches. I actually turned the game off. I
Speaker 1: imagine he's done. It wasn't until I checked the box
Speaker 1: score like ten minutes later that I was like, they
Speaker 1: pushed him back out there for seven. He only got
Speaker 1: two ounces and the seventh. But it's stuff like that
Speaker 1: where they will push him. If you're sitting at five
Speaker 1: and a third at a hundred pitches, maybe you know
Speaker 1: they might just let you get that quality start, all right.
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that there's another impact for it.
Speaker 1: That's why I got a man, Mike Florio joining us
Speaker 1: for a couple of minutes here on the freestyle. He
Speaker 1: is one of my best friends forever. You can catch
Speaker 1: them every day. I believe it's two to three pm, correct, Mike,
Speaker 1: two to three pm, best friends forever making it happen
Speaker 1: Monday through Friday on the Fantasy Sports Network. Am I correct?
Speaker 1: You are correct? Sometimes you just get Dane Martinez walking around.
Speaker 1: You never know, man, you never know. Yeah, that's how
Speaker 1: we do with popping in, with popping off, doing all
Speaker 1: sorts of kinds of things. Real quick. Floria, before we
Speaker 1: get into this rankings and seatings, had another quick thing.
Speaker 1: I wanted to bounce off you. I've been telling, uh
Speaker 1: my man, the King's goot angled that I think Goldie
Speaker 1: is there's something up with him. You know, he's hitting
Speaker 1: like two oh four, and he was like, I was
Speaker 1: worried that maybe it was the humid or at first,
Speaker 1: but I think I know what it is now. I
Speaker 1: think he's old and I think that's an issue. Check
Speaker 1: this out, Floria'll check this out. Okay. Remember how like
Speaker 1: the hot stove was really lukewarm this year, and like
Speaker 1: people were not signing, especially veterans. You know, Matt Holiday
Speaker 1: is out there. He's got a career eight nine. Yes,
Speaker 1: he's got a career three fourteen home runs. I think
Speaker 1: Matt Holiday is on the street still, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Guys like um uh, Mark Reynolds just signed. Okay,
Speaker 1: And and and here's the thing. Check this out. You
Speaker 1: mentioned it before. The bullpens and what they're trying to
Speaker 1: do with starters outside of the Tampa bray Rays. Starters
Speaker 1: are trying to just go to two times through the order,
Speaker 1: and then they're bringing in these huge fireballer relievers, one
Speaker 1: more powerful than the next. One oh one used to
Speaker 1: Jordan's Um. Yeah, Jordan hits one like one oh five
Speaker 1: the other day. Here's what anything is going. Check this out.
Speaker 1: Check this out Florio, twenty two players have seen thirty
Speaker 1: six pitchers of ninety six miles an hour or more
Speaker 1: without getting a hit. So far this year, twenty two
Speaker 1: players have seen that many pitches of ninety six kind
Speaker 1: of like the super fastballs without getting a hit. All
Speaker 1: of them Florio. All twenty two are thirty years old
Speaker 1: or more. Names like Kindler, Span, Sean Rodriguez and Goldschmidt.
Speaker 1: Florio Goldie has seen seventy seven pitches this year of
Speaker 1: ninety six miles an hour or more. He has not
Speaker 1: recorded a hit. That is the most in the majors.
Speaker 1: And here's the other stat for Goldie. His strikeout rate
Speaker 1: has gone up from two to thirty one percent this year.
Speaker 1: For Goldie, he can't handle the heat. Trust me, when
Speaker 1: you're in your thirties, you know the quick twitch. The
Speaker 1: reaction time is a little bit slower. These guys can't
Speaker 1: get around on this new level of heater that is
Speaker 1: coming out. Goldie strikeout rate is going up ten pc.
Speaker 1: You combine that with a Babad dip of about fifty
Speaker 1: points this year, and that's why Goldie is hitting two
Speaker 1: oh four. What do you think Florio I didn't know
Speaker 1: his struggles against velocity. That is an amazing set. My
Speaker 1: man in Goldie, you know what he needs to do.
Speaker 1: He needs to hang out with the one of my
Speaker 1: favorite players, Joey Vado. Joey Vodo is old, but he
Speaker 1: just keeps thinking of he like holds the bat almost
Speaker 1: at the barrel now and he just keeps getting that.
Speaker 1: Might be it what you say, he's choking up right,
Speaker 1: Maybe come back that reaction time gap. You gotta you know,
Speaker 1: it's like the same thing on the pitching side. Fireballers
Speaker 1: when they get into the thirties, they become pictures, right,
Speaker 1: they use location, they lose their arsenal, they're off speed
Speaker 1: stuff now. So of these hitters may not be able
Speaker 1: to adjust as they get older. And what the you know,
Speaker 1: the influx of these big time arms coming out and
Speaker 1: seeing them more in the bullpen because the bullpens are
Speaker 1: dominating games. I think this has merit Floria. I'll send you.
Speaker 1: I'll send you a link to the article I read.
Speaker 1: It was by you know, Mr Buster Only we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that. UM, I'll show that to you. I think
Speaker 1: it's pretty interesting though. A specifically, these thirty year old guys,
Speaker 1: they can't handle the heat that's coming in this new
Speaker 1: era of Major League Baseball, and maybe that's why some
Speaker 1: of these guys were left on sign But real quick,
Speaker 1: we're doing over on Roado experts in the morning. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you're part of the status over beat cipher, you
Speaker 1: know about fantasy freestyle, you know that speeds loves brackets. Okay, guys,
Speaker 1: maybe JP the Night Album might remember we did the
Speaker 1: greatest TV show of all time. And Florio, you were
Speaker 1: talking about this as well. You know, we did the
Speaker 1: greatest TV show of all time. It was in fact,
Speaker 1: breaking bad over Seinfeld. We did the greatest sports movie
Speaker 1: of all time. I believe Rocky won those brackets. What
Speaker 1: I wanna know is the face of baseball. So we
Speaker 1: got some names, Florio, I sent them to you, and
Speaker 1: you know, JP or anybody else can comment as well.
Speaker 1: And and the way I had it was, you know, Trout, Judge, Altuve, Harper, Otani, Kerkshaw,
Speaker 1: Stanton Pool, Hols, Bryant, Posey, Corea, Verlando Cabrera, Machado, Syndergarten bets.
Speaker 1: This is like kind of remember, the face of baseball
Speaker 1: is not necessarily the best player in baseball, but who
Speaker 1: might we have the most notoriety, the face. People be like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I know that guy that's Aaron Judge, right, Oh, I've
Speaker 1: seen that guy that's Mike Trout. You know, Syndergarden isn't
Speaker 1: here because it's long flowing locks. If you want to
Speaker 1: know the truth, That's why guys like Pooh Holes or
Speaker 1: Cabrera Posy are still in there. They're part of the
Speaker 1: marketable marketability of baseball, the face of baseball. You know.
Speaker 1: So guys like Freeman they don't really get in. Guys
Speaker 1: like Votto who you just mentioned, or Braun, people don't
Speaker 1: know them as much. Goldschmidt. So Florio, I asked you,
Speaker 1: you've seen the list. Do you think that there are
Speaker 1: any glaring omissions or any of these top sixteen should
Speaker 1: definitely be dropped? And should any names that you think
Speaker 1: of that we have not captured at all, or anybody
Speaker 1: that you think is dramatically overseated or underseated from the list.
Speaker 1: Thing I just gave um, I don't think there's anyone
Speaker 1: like missing. Okay, what would you do with this? How
Speaker 1: would you how would you move the rankings or the
Speaker 1: seatings up a little bit. Honestly, I think I would
Speaker 1: have Trout lower real, Like, right now, Trout is the
Speaker 1: number one seed. I believe he is the favorite as
Speaker 1: the face of baseball. That meanings like if you asked
Speaker 1: Ran you know, we're in studio thirty four. If I
Speaker 1: went to Penn Station, you know, and I was like
Speaker 1: showing people pictures or of like, oh, who's you know
Speaker 1: name a baseball player right now? You don't think Trout
Speaker 1: would be the first one named, don't You don't think Trout?
Speaker 1: Uh is like maybe one of the most recognizable. Trout
Speaker 1: the biggest ambassador. I guess he's not on as many
Speaker 1: commercials and stuff like that. You'd have Trout lower. Huh.
Speaker 1: He'll still be in my top four. Okay, he'd be
Speaker 1: in the kind of okay, the best quartile. He'd be
Speaker 1: in your top four. The others in the top four
Speaker 1: a Judge Alto and Harper? Are you saying that because
Speaker 1: you're such a millennial, Mikey, are you saying you bump
Speaker 1: Harper up? I would bump Harper for sure, and I
Speaker 1: think Judge over him as well. So you would do
Speaker 1: the top four more like Judge Harper Trout Alve. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I think I would do it. Harper tut interesting let
Speaker 1: me know what you guys think. If you're in the
Speaker 1: stats over beat Cipher in the chat room on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna be kind of
Speaker 1: norming this a little bit, and then we're gonna be
Speaker 1: doing these polls on Rhodo Experts in the morning right
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network seven and nine am.
Speaker 1: It is me, It is the King Scott Angle, it
Speaker 1: is the all in kid Jake Seely. You know, we
Speaker 1: put the fun and functional sports radio Florio every morning
Speaker 1: we cock a dood will do it from seven and
Speaker 1: nine am on the Fantasy Sports Network. What do you
Speaker 1: think about some of these older guys. Do you think
Speaker 1: Miguel Cabrera still belongs in the top sixteen? Do you
Speaker 1: think Buster Posey still belongs in the top sixteen? Should
Speaker 1: they be seated in this bracket? Florial? I definitely think
Speaker 1: they should be be it's bust Oppose He's still in
Speaker 1: a lot of commercials. Maybe he was so good. Poogles
Speaker 1: both were so good for so long that I think
Speaker 1: the average baseball fans still recognizes them immediately. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna find out much like we found out
Speaker 1: about the TV shows. Much like we found out about
Speaker 1: the sports movies, we're gonna find out once we hit
Speaker 1: Memorial Day and becomes the Boys of Summer, We're gonna
Speaker 1: launch this bracket tournament. Maybe we'll do a little crossover
Speaker 1: to collabo with the bff's. You know, we're gonna start
Speaker 1: getting into football as well. When we come back, though,
Speaker 1: we put the fun and functional sports content. We got
Speaker 1: rapping athletes to break down. It is prom season, so

Speaker 1: in the morning obviously here on the Fantasy Freestyle as well.
Speaker 1: Them working hard, Baby, I'm trying to get ready for
Speaker 1: football season. You know I'm working hard. If he's sitting
Speaker 1: statistician trying to help you win that cash. All right, Uh,
Speaker 1: we put the fun and functional sports content. Um. I've
Speaker 1: been talking about Trevor Bauer for a few weeks now.
Speaker 1: Remember we talked about the sixty nine days of giving,
Speaker 1: how after his arbitration and kind of he won more
Speaker 1: than he wanted or that he you know, pitched originally
Speaker 1: he was trying to make a mockery of the arbitration
Speaker 1: system and succeeded. If I do days myself and just
Speaker 1: catch you up, Remember he's giving four and twenty dollars
Speaker 1: and sixty nine cents to a charity for sixty nine
Speaker 1: days in a row. And know those numbers are not coincidental.
Speaker 1: And we're in about you know, I got it. It's
Speaker 1: about two more weeks left. And I was like, who
Speaker 1: should we nominate? Who should we nominate? You know the
Speaker 1: Slatto would beat Cipher. We gotta we gotta, we gotta
Speaker 1: nominate a charity and maybe the Bower outage Trevor Bauer
Speaker 1: would you know, donate and we could feel good about ourselves.
Speaker 1: And I finally found the answer. Remember last week when
Speaker 1: I told you about Hugh Jackson, and I told you
Speaker 1: that Hugh Jackson was gonna go jump in the lake
Speaker 1: because He said previously last year that if the Browns went, oh,
Speaker 1: it didn't win a game, because I guess two years
Speaker 1: ago they go one in fifteen, right, and then they
Speaker 1: say if they don't do better than that, he would
Speaker 1: go jump in Lake Erie. And they wound up losing
Speaker 1: every game last year. So he's gonna make good on
Speaker 1: his promise. He's a man of his word. He is
Speaker 1: going to jump in the lake. I think he's doing
Speaker 1: it on June one, but he he spun it forward
Speaker 1: and he did a real nice thing. He said he's
Speaker 1: doing it now to cleanse the losing ways in Cleveland, right,
Speaker 1: So I'm with that. And he's also encouraging everybody in
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns organization to jump on in with him.
Speaker 1: And he said he's going to donate a hundred dollars
Speaker 1: for every person within the Browns that jump in with him,
Speaker 1: and he's gonna donate it to his charity, the Hugh
Speaker 1: Jackson Foundation. It's on my Twitter timeline right now. The
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson Foundation. What they do is they support efforts
Speaker 1: to combat human trafficking in the city of Cleveland, Okay,
Speaker 1: And I think this is a great cause. I think
Speaker 1: it's great that Hugh Jackson is now turning this into
Speaker 1: a thing to kind of ceremoniously cleanse the losing out
Speaker 1: of Cleveland and to ceremoniously and to raise money for
Speaker 1: his charity. Now, I bring it back to Trevor Bower. Right,
Speaker 1: Trevor Bauer was on the Cleveland Indians team that the
Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs beating the World Series. Maybe they are now cursed.
Speaker 1: Maybe they need to cleanse the losing. Right, this is
Speaker 1: Cleveland and Cleveland. Bauer could be, you know, supporting Cleveland
Speaker 1: sports and forget a hundred dollars for every Brown that
Speaker 1: you know kind of joins in with you. Hey, Trevor Bauer,
Speaker 1: jump in the lake with Hugh Jackson on June one
Speaker 1: and give the guys at the Hugh Jackson Foundation four
Speaker 1: d and sixty nine cents. It's perfect synergy for the
Speaker 1: city of Cleveland. This is exactly what he should do.
Speaker 1: I find this as a no brainer. Hugh Jackson maybe
Speaker 1: needs to do this to cletense the losing ways. Because
Speaker 1: right now on the poll question, thirty three percent of you,
Speaker 1: we got about almost a hundred votes so far just
Speaker 1: this last hour of you think that Hugh Jackson enters
Speaker 1: with the hottest seat. So jump in the lake, Bro
Speaker 1: and Trevor Bauer. Throw your four twenty and sixty nine
Speaker 1: cents over that way. That's what the stats overbeat cipher
Speaker 1: has to say. But what we're gonna do here, um,
Speaker 1: we break down the rapping athletes, right, So let's do that.
Speaker 1: Let's break down the rapping athletes. We got a new one.
Speaker 1: I want to go down to the Pit of misery
Speaker 1: because my man Mike Florio suggested this one we talked
Speaker 1: about at the night Owl. JP is like, oh, I
Speaker 1: love this guy. We're talking about former Texans running back
Speaker 1: Aryan Foster. All right, here's the funny part. Okay, he
Speaker 1: goes by Bobby Fino. Alright, so check out his a
Speaker 1: k A. Is trying to be like Speeds and spitting statistician,
Speaker 1: the stable genius and vocal minority. What is this the
Speaker 1: Bodega boys U a k A. Bobby Fino over here,
Speaker 1: Aryan Foster. He also has a few tracks out there.
Speaker 1: And here's what I want to say. I was talking
Speaker 1: to Florio before this. He says he thinks Aryan Foster
Speaker 1: is pretty good a k A. Bobby Fino. He thinks
Speaker 1: Bobby Fino sounds like j Cole. Alright, so we're gonna
Speaker 1: play some of this uh Aryan Foster a k a.
Speaker 1: Bobby Fino. What's going on, everybody, and tell me if
Speaker 1: you think this sounds like Ja Cole. This is Aryan
Speaker 1: Foster with the track titled Joy. We're gonna play a
Speaker 1: little bit of that. We can play about seconds of
Speaker 1: that right now here on the Fantasy Freestyle with stats
Speaker 1: over beat cipher that I want to hear with j
Speaker 1: P has to say because he's such a big fan.
Speaker 1: And we'll see if Florio can convince others that are Yeah,
Speaker 1: it sounds like Jane Cole. All right, this is Arrian
Speaker 1: Foster with Joy. Here we go, heart beating like I
Speaker 1: stole something my racing, like our role something I feel
Speaker 1: like that own loving like ain't no call of books,
Speaker 1: listen growing love and let me let you know, sithing
Speaker 1: girl on my olympus with et gypsums and gold dripping
Speaker 1: that dope for me that stick to the soul, pining
Speaker 1: words for you. Only John Lennon wouldn't know pain shrinking
Speaker 1: from my heart. So with all to the forbidden, we go,
Speaker 1: like Julia and Romeo day flights to Tokyo love growing
Speaker 1: like brnning Okyo, my kids writing love. Let us to
Speaker 1: your brids, catch the Holy Thoks, girl to you comatose love,
Speaker 1: Let me overdose. You can be my medicine drinking this
Speaker 1: are thinking this forever that it never is, so you
Speaker 1: can let it leave. I've never been romantic, but I
Speaker 1: love walking with you on his canvas, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as we go to the hook, that's maybe where it
Speaker 1: was Ja Cole ish as we get to the sing song,
Speaker 1: he hook wanted to be like Ja Cole and fifty
Speaker 1: cent back in the day. Alright, Florio, if we got
Speaker 1: Florio in the pit of misery. Florio was high on
Speaker 1: this early on. He said he didn't know if he
Speaker 1: heard this track or others sounded like j Cole. Does
Speaker 1: this still sound like Ja Cole or you, Florio, what
Speaker 1: do you got? I still think his voice sounds a
Speaker 1: lot like Jacole. You would go defend this. You would
Speaker 1: defend this with the stats would be cipher in the
Speaker 1: chat room and stuff, not saying like he's as good
Speaker 1: as Jake Coloria. All right, right, I just think when
Speaker 1: I heard his voice, so it's like, uh, it sounds
Speaker 1: a little bit like j Coole, Like, I think that's
Speaker 1: kind of the style he was trying to emulate. Maybe
Speaker 1: maybe he was trying to emulate that a little storytelling
Speaker 1: those sings song I am mad at you there. I
Speaker 1: just think, I mean, come on, let's let's not let's
Speaker 1: not put the expectations a little No, no, no, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying he's the next J Coler. Alight enough, fair enough.

Speaker 1: night Ow my man JP, maybe the new head of
Speaker 1: marketing for the Fantasy Sports Network, my Man JP. The
Speaker 1: night Owl? You know you were saying, Um, you were
Speaker 1: saying that you're a big fan of Arian Foster. Um
Speaker 1: do you feel confirmed in that? Are you like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, yeah, this is great, like everything Arian Fluster does.
Speaker 1: What do you think about this night Owl? I want
Speaker 1: to hear more. That's pretty good. You want to hear more. Also,
Speaker 1: I'll take the opposite opinion of Mike Florio and say
Speaker 1: the beat is almost J Cole. That brought me back
Speaker 1: to like interesting, Florio. I think the man, and by man,
Speaker 1: I mean kid makes a good point. Yeah, a little
Speaker 1: beat and it could be the beat. It could be
Speaker 1: the beat. I hear that oh, we like this. I'm

Speaker 1: let's uh, let's keep it moving here on the Fantasy Priestle.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, JP. I like that. If you
Speaker 1: do want to hear more, JP, I got another track
Speaker 1: for you. We're not gonna play because it was a
Speaker 1: little foul mouth, like a potty mouth. Okay it was.
Speaker 1: He was cursing like a sailor. Bobby Fino was carson
Speaker 1: like a sailor. Check out a friend, a fan, a kid.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting song. He actually tells the context like
Speaker 1: each versus, like his relationship with a fan, and his
Speaker 1: relationship with a friend as he gets famous, and his
Speaker 1: relationship with a kid. You know, it's just like wants
Speaker 1: him as a role model kind of thing. It's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: He's actually telling a story there. I like that, but
Speaker 1: like I said, it was a little too potty mouth
Speaker 1: for me. We also got my man Danny Otto down
Speaker 1: there in the Fantasy Pit of Misery. You know, they're
Speaker 1: running triple duty down there, trying to make your boy's
Speaker 1: speed sound good, keeping it so hot that we sweat

Speaker 1: are they talking about in the chat We're talking a
Speaker 1: little bit about everything, christ the freestyle. I'll talk about anything, baby.
Speaker 1: What's up currently? We've been talking about TRL Okay, Carson Daily.
Speaker 1: I saw that. I heard that commercial to floor the
Speaker 1: young Buck. Gret Susman tried to get at him. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something about that real quick. Everybody in
Speaker 1: the chat room. Back in a day, I used to intern, okay,
Speaker 1: when I was in college, I used to intern at MTV. Okay,
Speaker 1: it was my job to, you know, do random stuff
Speaker 1: like answer the fan mail for Jan Brady at Nick
Speaker 1: and knight right and do random stuff like that. But
Speaker 1: this is when t R was big. So I'd go
Speaker 1: out and get lunch, you know, and then it would
Speaker 1: take me twenty minutes to get back to my desk
Speaker 1: because I had to fight the throngs of people that
Speaker 1: were waiting outside the damn window to wave at Bust
Speaker 1: the Rhymes and Janet Jackson. Okay, so I got a
Speaker 1: lot of beef with TRL. But okay, we're talking t
Speaker 1: r L. That's my hot take on t r L. Danny,
Speaker 1: what else we got before that? I mean, they we've
Speaker 1: kind of been going through everything. I know. At the
Speaker 1: beginning of the chat room, we were talking about tight
Speaker 1: ends because you mentioned tight ends for we were talking
Speaker 1: about the tight ends and how I think the second
Speaker 1: year tight ends make a big old jump. I like that,
Speaker 1: so big shout out of course the Strong Style, Yo, Danny,
Speaker 1: do me a favorite chat back. I want to know
Speaker 1: how Strong Style feels about the King of Strong Style, Mr.
Speaker 1: Nakamura and his hell turn. I want to know what
Speaker 1: he thinks about his heal turn. No speak of the
Speaker 1: English and stuff like that. Tell him Speeds wants to
Speaker 1: know about that. He'll turn a Strong Style hit me up.
Speaker 1: I want to know what you think about that? Do
Speaker 1: you like it better? Do you think it's developing his character?
Speaker 1: All right? And the last thing I want to do here,
Speaker 1: because you know the status of beach. We we uh,
Speaker 1: we talk it all here. We talked sports, we talk
Speaker 1: sports culture. We talked about you need to when your
Speaker 1: leagues and when that cash um. But we also, you know,
Speaker 1: we talk love. We talked love here. Remember we had
Speaker 1: my man um with the love doctor, good old Donnie Burns.
Speaker 1: But we're back to JP, JP, I want to get
Speaker 1: your take on this story. It is prom season, you know. Uh,
Speaker 1: and you know, JP, you probably had your prom what
Speaker 1: like two years ago or something like that. You had
Speaker 1: a prom two three years ago, two years ago? Okay,
Speaker 1: So check this out. J Feely, uh, you know, longtime
Speaker 1: kicker in the NFL. His daughter is going to the
Speaker 1: prom this year. Okay. You know she's maybe a senior
Speaker 1: or whatever. She's dating this guy. Right. There's a picture
Speaker 1: that Jay Feely has on social media and it's uh,
Speaker 1: his daughter arm in arm with like her date, you know,
Speaker 1: and dad, and Jay Feely is in the back with
Speaker 1: a kind of threatening look to the dad to the kid,
Speaker 1: to the boy. He was about to take his daughter
Speaker 1: to the prom and he's holding a gun okay in
Speaker 1: this picture, right and the post just says wishing my
Speaker 1: beautiful daughter and her date a great time at prom,
Speaker 1: but he's brandishing the weapon, intimidating the kid. He got
Speaker 1: a little flak for this on social media, giving the timing,
Speaker 1: given the fact that there's you know, kids in schools
Speaker 1: getting shot up now it seems like every damn week
Speaker 1: in this country, right and then he uh, he had
Speaker 1: to apologize the next day. Jay Jay Feely puts out
Speaker 1: on his social media the prom picture I posted was
Speaker 1: obviously intended to be a joe. My daughter has dated
Speaker 1: a boyfriend for over a year, and they knew I
Speaker 1: was joking. I take gun safety seriously. Then, in parentheses,
Speaker 1: he says the gun was not loaded and had no
Speaker 1: clip in it, and I did not intend to be
Speaker 1: insensitive to that important issue. JP. I have so many
Speaker 1: questions for you. First of all, how would you feel
Speaker 1: if your dad's you know, your dates dad, when you
Speaker 1: roll up, you know it's packing. How would you feel
Speaker 1: about that? I wouldn't feel great, Dane. Yeah right, you'd
Speaker 1: be a little intimidated. You'd have our home by midnight.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there you go, fair enough before we all
Speaker 1: turn into pumpkins. But I think the point he was
Speaker 1: trying to I think he's just trying to like he
Speaker 1: was trying to be funny, but timing is everything. Now
Speaker 1: is not necessarily the time to play that. That's like,
Speaker 1: I'm not making domestic violence or sexual harassment jokes right now.
Speaker 1: It's a little sensitive right now. You know, gun violence
Speaker 1: is a very sensitive topic right now, especially with high
Speaker 1: school students. Like just just just tone deaf in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Right So, so my question for you, JP is like,
Speaker 1: is this funny? I don't think it's funny. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's trying to make the joke, but wrong time, wrong place.
Speaker 1: He just completely missed the mark. I get what he's
Speaker 1: trying to get at, be the stereotypical like hard dad,
Speaker 1: but he just kind of he kind of missed the point.
Speaker 1: I think he missed the point as well. Um, JP,
Speaker 1: just in case you're still on the prom circuit, because
Speaker 1: you know, now you're an older man to some of
Speaker 1: these women, watch it because they may be brandishing weapons
Speaker 1: when you go to prom. Also, remember last year we
Speaker 1: did that thing. Levan, the girl's name I think was
Speaker 1: Ava Tarantino. She was like, uh, Levan, we go to
Speaker 1: the prom with me? And he was like, listen, if
Speaker 1: you get whatever. It was ten thousand likes whatever it was,
Speaker 1: and she blew past that. But then the school said, no,
Speaker 1: you can't bring Levan because he represents poor character because
Speaker 1: he was like suspended for marijuana or something like that
Speaker 1: or holding out, whatever the case. Maybe Levan big shout
Speaker 1: out to him helping Speeds his fantasy team last year
Speaker 1: get to a fantasy championship. Dilley, Dilley to everybody. I wrote,
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell Yeah, Buddy Levan, Belle DeAndre Hopkins did
Speaker 1: it for me. Zach Ertz did it for me. The
Speaker 1: Minnesota defense and the Baltimore defense. My two defenses last
Speaker 1: year on Minnesota and Baltimore, they did well for me.
Speaker 1: All right, but I digress. So, yeah, I think this
Speaker 1: is bad timing. But I wanted to share that with
Speaker 1: stats over Beat Cipher. We got my man Danny Otto
Speaker 1: down there. Hey, Danny, what do you think about this
Speaker 1: poor timing and poor taste or funny? I think it's
Speaker 1: definitely poor timing in the poor taste. Well, you think
Speaker 1: it's funny just bad timing. Well, I think it's in
Speaker 1: poor taste too. Yeah, but you don't say that. You're
Speaker 1: like it's in poor taste. It's almost like you feel
Speaker 1: you're obligated to say that yes and no. I mean
Speaker 1: I feel like you can. If you have timing right,
Speaker 1: you can get away with more sure like your boys
Speaker 1: Speeds has been statisation example. Alright, but I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is in poor timing, in poor taste. Fair enough.
Speaker 1: But we got going on on popping off tomorrow, Danny
Speaker 1: Wednesday nights here on the Fantasy Sports Network. What we
Speaker 1: got on popping off tomorrow, popping off All Star Wars related.
Speaker 1: We're getting ready for the coming Friday, so we got
