Speaker 1: You are now about to witness the strength of fantasy
Speaker 1: knowledge Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now tunes into
Speaker 1: the Speeds and Spitting Statistician on Fantasy Freestyle next on
Speaker 1: that cipher on the microphone. You know that I'm one
Speaker 1: of the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is.
Speaker 1: It's your boy, Dame Martinez, a k A. Speeds a
Speaker 1: k to Spitting Statistician. Hey k A. The stable genius
Speaker 1: and vocal minority, And welcome to another edition of the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Sports Grid Network, episode
Speaker 1: number four hundred and thirty three, the four hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty third convening of the Stats Overbeat Cipher where we
Speaker 1: help you win your leagues and win that cash. Got
Speaker 1: a good show for you as usual episode four thirty three.
Speaker 1: We got a lot of stuff to talk about. I mean,
Speaker 1: we got a college football championship game that's about to
Speaker 1: kick off in an hour or so. We are down
Speaker 1: to the final four in the NFL, so we'll give
Speaker 1: you our takeaways from divisional weekend, and of course, Danny,
Speaker 1: we gotta update Speeds versus the kids. It's a little
Speaker 1: bit different then last week. I will say, my members
Speaker 1: of the stats over beat Cipher know that to be true.
Speaker 1: We got a poll question that I think is very
Speaker 1: very interesting as well. My pole question is this, if
Speaker 1: you have to start a franchise right now in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and you gotta start, you know, and grab one quarterback,
Speaker 1: think about young quarterbacks with for the next like ten years,
Speaker 1: what would you take? Because you know, my thesis right
Speaker 1: all year has been that they're the three men in
Speaker 1: the a f C. Lamar Jackson, Patty Mahomes and Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1: Only one of them is left standing. Patty Mahomes after
Speaker 1: a ridiculous comeback in Arrowhead yesterday. We'll get into that.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are hitting me up right now.
Speaker 1: I had those three and then other ironically Other is
Speaker 1: not in last place alright. A lot of people with
Speaker 1: some love for Josh Allen up there in Buffalo. I
Speaker 1: seem to also believe that Russell Wilson could get some
Speaker 1: love because even in the next ten years, if Russell
Speaker 1: and is nerties for you know, eight of them, right.
Speaker 1: So I think it's an interesting question because we did
Speaker 1: see some of that on display this weekend. But I
Speaker 1: do want to also note, and we're gonna get into football.
Speaker 1: For sure. Football is gonna be what we talked about,
Speaker 1: you know, most of the time here, and that's what
Speaker 1: the status of Beat Cipher knows. But there's a huge
Speaker 1: story breaking in baseball today, all right. The it sounds
Speaker 1: like a Major League Baseball is coming down on the
Speaker 1: Houston Astros. First we heard word that Astro's manager A J.
Speaker 1: Hinge and the GM Jeff Lanout, we're suspended for a year. Okay.
Speaker 1: We're also hearing the Astros will forfeit their first and
Speaker 1: second round draft picks for the next couple of years.
Speaker 1: I think this is legit. I think this is a deterrent.
Speaker 1: I think it hurts them. And then we hear more
Speaker 1: that the Houston Nationals have turned around and were like,
Speaker 1: you know what, forget this, and they turned around and
Speaker 1: fired Hinch and the GM. And then we hear more
Speaker 1: that they are still ready to drop in this being
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, still ready to drop the hammer on
Speaker 1: Joey Cora and potentially the Boston Red Sox because they
Speaker 1: are involved. Remember Corus sort of like the mastermind behind
Speaker 1: all this. And we're not done, and there's still talk
Speaker 1: about what this means for Carlos Beltrand now, um because
Speaker 1: he was there, now the manager of the meth Now.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are saying and it seems like
Speaker 1: the report is indicating that no players will be um
Speaker 1: uh uh punished, right, And I wonder what you think
Speaker 1: about that, because they were all complicit in this, they
Speaker 1: all knew this. What if you're armand Judge, who finishes
Speaker 1: second to Jose Altuve in the two sev A L
Speaker 1: m v P. What if you're the New York Yankees.
Speaker 1: What if you're the Los Angeles Dodgers who went to
Speaker 1: the World Series, you know, back to back years and
Speaker 1: we're facing this nonsense, all right? I think this is
Speaker 1: very interesting. People are not likening this all the way,
Speaker 1: like to the Black Sox scandal, that it's worse than steroids,
Speaker 1: worse than Pete Rose between sounds, banging lights in the
Speaker 1: mound and all this stuff. And it's not done yet,
Speaker 1: So keep an eye out on this. I do think
Speaker 1: it is a deterrent. I do think the Astros are
Speaker 1: gonna fall by the wayside a little bit on this. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know they have great talent still, but you know,
Speaker 1: when they don't know what's coming. We'll see if that
Speaker 1: holds true. Uh, free agents aren't gonna want to sign there.
Speaker 1: They have to now hire a new manager in GM.
Speaker 1: I do think this hits and where it hurts. Would
Speaker 1: you trade it in for a title if you knew
Speaker 1: that this was gonna And I don't even think it
Speaker 1: guarantees you a title? Right, you still have to hit
Speaker 1: the ball, But if you knew this would get you
Speaker 1: a title? Is it worth the is it worth the crime?
Speaker 1: Is it worth it to you? That's what I want
Speaker 1: to know. Hit me up in the chat room about that.
Speaker 1: Hit me up if you would take Lamar Jackson, Patty Mahomes,
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, or someone else like a Josh Allen, like Kyler,
Speaker 1: Murray Baker, Mayfiel, Sam Donald, Daniel Jones, or one of
Speaker 1: these guys playing tonight, perhaps Joe Burrow, Trevor Lawrence Right
Speaker 1: or an old guard. Maybe you want to hang onto
Speaker 1: a guy like Russell Wilson. But in any event, we
Speaker 1: have to look. Now there are four teams left, and
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna get into. Okay, we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about on the other side of the break, which is
Speaker 1: coming in a few minutes. We will talk about what
Speaker 1: speed's got right, what Speeds got wrong. We will break
Speaker 1: down the takeaways, the diamonds, the fool gazes from all
Speaker 1: four games and what I call the best weekend of football. Okay,
Speaker 1: there were a number of themes, and I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you the truth. If you're real deal, Stats over Beat
Speaker 1: Cipher and some of you guys out there certainly are
Speaker 1: Ben out there, Tommy Gunns out there already. Okay, if
Speaker 1: you um, you know, Ben is already talking about unpredictability
Speaker 1: of football. I don't know, man, I had them against
Speaker 1: the kids. I told you the Titans would be the
Speaker 1: one outright dog that I thought goodwin. So yes, but
Speaker 1: if you rewind the tape, we were kind of on
Speaker 1: that with the Stats over Beat Cipher. But it is
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy, you know, the fact that these kids can
Speaker 1: kind of pick game just as good as some of us.
Speaker 1: It's interesting. So we will update the standings of that.
Speaker 1: I'll give you the takeaways, right, and then we'll also
Speaker 1: spin it forward to the National Championship game. And Danny,
Speaker 1: there's another thing going on this weekend that's not my
Speaker 1: bachelor party. I know the Stats over Beat Cipher already
Speaker 1: knows about that going down this weekend in Miami, I'll
Speaker 1: be down that with Joe Marnary. But Danny, there's another
Speaker 1: event in your neck of the woods, in your industry,
Speaker 1: the place that you love so much, that we may
Speaker 1: have to talk about as well. Danny, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about? Brother men? Uh no, No, what if
Speaker 1: I tell you some guy that walks with a billionaire
Speaker 1: strut is fighting a cowboy this weekend? Uh? Yeah? Now know? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So maybe we'll talk about that as well, because I
Speaker 1: have a key question for you, Danny, and that is
Speaker 1: do rich do rich people like getting hit in the face?
Speaker 1: Because I don't know Connors rich now cowboys not cowboys old.
Speaker 1: But if you get rich like generational wealth like Connor
Speaker 1: has now, are you still training the same way you
Speaker 1: were when you were a janitor in Ireland? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on that as well.
Speaker 1: We'll look over the injuries, will look over the games.
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting, A lot of these teams came
Speaker 1: out not that banged up, like I can't find really
Speaker 1: a big injury. For the Tennessee Titans. For green Bay,
Speaker 1: there was that illness that went through Bologa came out
Speaker 1: of the concussion protocol he's eyed. Alan Lizard went to
Speaker 1: the Blue Tent. We'll check in on that and Casey.
Speaker 1: I know Kelsey and Hill got banged up, but they
Speaker 1: were back out there. Chris Jones is a big one.
Speaker 1: We'll track him, but otherwise these teams could be healthy.
Speaker 1: The best day in football, Come on back, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about it. Fantasy Freestyle. You heart NFL seasons in alta,

Speaker 1: it is, Fantasy Freestyle Episode four hundred and thirty three
Speaker 1: here on the Sports Grid Network. We're getting it in um. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Ben is asking some questions some of you guys, Tommy
Speaker 1: gunns q q Q Wilson Ben, you guys are in
Speaker 1: the chat still talking about this Astros thing. I think
Speaker 1: it's really interesting. Listen. I I do think it's a
Speaker 1: deterrent okay, because here's the thing. They gotta hire a
Speaker 1: new manager now, all right, So that's one. Okay. To
Speaker 1: the draft picks. I think are real their first and
Speaker 1: their second round picks for the next two years. Remember
Speaker 1: this is how this team stocked up in the beginning.
Speaker 1: They drafted Korea Bregman. All these gets Springer right. And
Speaker 1: the other thing for me is, you know they're pretty
Speaker 1: much mud for the next few years. Right. If you're
Speaker 1: a free agent, are you gonna sign in Houston now?
Speaker 1: Or is that kind of stench still there? I think
Speaker 1: you're not gonna sign. I think it's a determined free
Speaker 1: agent signing as well. And listen, the idea, um, is
Speaker 1: it possible the Mets fire beltrend It is possible. Is
Speaker 1: it possible the Red Sox fire Cora. I actually think
Speaker 1: they will. I think they will in the next thirty
Speaker 1: six hours, because look, Houston turnaround and fired their guys
Speaker 1: right away. Do they want this stench on them? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think we haven't heard the last of this.
Speaker 1: I think this thing is actually sprawling if you want
Speaker 1: to know the truth. So we'll see sign where the
Speaker 1: best pictures are. Yeah, but is that really is that
Speaker 1: really Houston anymore? I mean there's Verlander there, there's Grenky there.
Speaker 1: Verlander was in on all this cold out that not
Speaker 1: there anymore. You're right, that's the thing, you k Q Wilson.
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that he says. The World series
Speaker 1: of Champs Ring are still on their finger. That's the thing.
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. They still had a parade, And as
Speaker 1: a Yankees fan, I was still piste off and had
Speaker 1: the heart ripped out of me. If I was a
Speaker 1: Dodgers fan, I'd feel the same way. You could give
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge the two seventeen m v P. I don't
Speaker 1: get a parade. I don't get to as a grown
Speaker 1: man hug my best friends. I don't cry watching a
Speaker 1: TV screen. If they just stripped the Astros, that's what
Speaker 1: it's about for me. You know, you could stripped, they
Speaker 1: stripped like Reggie Bush of the Heisman. I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't matter, right, those fans still got
Speaker 1: to celebrate, and that's what it's really about, all right.
Speaker 1: So we'll keep talking about this. Um well, so keep
Speaker 1: talking about this as we go along with checking in
Speaker 1: the chat room and also on Touchable, Jay is talking
Speaker 1: about us the um the fancy who got hired by
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns and let's go there, the Browns doing fire.
Speaker 1: UM hire him. He used to be the Vikings offensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: was in for De Filippo when he was the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: This is a guy who was with this organization for
Speaker 1: fourteen years, kind of moving all the way up, so
Speaker 1: I get it. Listen, he could be a great excess
Speaker 1: and those guy My question is this and a guy
Speaker 1: taking his first head coaching job. The problem with Cleveland
Speaker 1: to me is the idea of they needed an adult
Speaker 1: in the room, They needed a respected voice in the room.
Speaker 1: I'm not usually one for retreads, right, but I wonder
Speaker 1: if this guy getting his first ever crack at the
Speaker 1: big chair is gonna be able to deal with the drama,
Speaker 1: the pr the personalities that are there. You needed a
Speaker 1: kind of unifying presence and a voice that everyone had
Speaker 1: to be behind. And I just don't know if Stefanski
Speaker 1: is that the Broncos have hired Pat Shermer to be
Speaker 1: their new offensive coordinator. I wonder what what the Broncos
Speaker 1: was gonna come down to is are they all in
Speaker 1: on Drew Lock or not? And we'll see that in
Speaker 1: free agency. I plan after the Super Bowl as we
Speaker 1: get into free agency to do a big thing about
Speaker 1: like all the quarterback merry go around, where they go,
Speaker 1: where they might not go, and a big question of
Speaker 1: that is are the Denver Broncos all in on Drew Lock.
Speaker 1: We'll see what Pat Shermer thinks. Apparently he scouted him
Speaker 1: and liked them in the draft as well, because I
Speaker 1: remember they were looking a get Daniel Jones um. And
Speaker 1: you know what some interesting news of the weird. Did
Speaker 1: you see you over the weekend? Julian Edelman jumping on
Speaker 1: the hood of a car in California? What is this?
Speaker 1: You know? Because with the fans key going to Cleveland,
Speaker 1: a lot of people are now thinking about, well, that
Speaker 1: means Josh McDaniels isn't so, so what is the is
Speaker 1: the band back together in New England? McDaniels, Brady Bill Edelman?
Speaker 1: Is this a new Patriot way? Jumping on hoods of
Speaker 1: cars getting arrested? But it is nothing compared to what
Speaker 1: we saw out of Antonio Brown to day. If you
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm talking about, go to my twitter
Speaker 1: feed at spitting Speeds, I posted a video. Let's just say,
Speaker 1: antone Yo Brown thought it fit to live stream an
Speaker 1: interaction he had with the police with his kids and
Speaker 1: his baby mama in the middle of the street. And
Speaker 1: let's just say, and I'm not joking that it also
Speaker 1: involved a bag of gummy penises. I'm I'm not joking.
Speaker 1: Go to the Twitter feed and check it out. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: The man is not well. All right, Um, so that's
Speaker 1: what we're dealing with, and they'll be all that. Good job,
Speaker 1: but let's talk about for real, for real, and you
Speaker 1: know what, actually before we do that. One other thing,
Speaker 1: I thought it was really nice, uh that over this weekend,
Speaker 1: on both Saturday and Sunday, they came on studio and
Speaker 1: decided to honor and announced Bill Kawar and Jimmy Johnson's
Speaker 1: uh you know, kind of Hall of Fame entry. I
Speaker 1: thought that was a really nice moment. It happened on Saturday,
Speaker 1: it happened on Sunday. I thought it was really cool
Speaker 1: to see these grown men break down and cry like
Speaker 1: little boys and get emotional and think when you see
Speaker 1: the payoff of all that hard work and they kind
Speaker 1: of get to that life's goal, I thought it was
Speaker 1: really cool. I thought it was absolutely cool, and I
Speaker 1: hope they do that again whenever fit, when they have
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do that, I thought it was really
Speaker 1: really cool. So we tip our cap to the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame. All right, takeaways from these games. Two of
Speaker 1: the themes that I have been saying all season long.
Speaker 1: One is that teams need balance right in the run game.
Speaker 1: I've talked about the commitment to the run game, trying
Speaker 1: to prevent you from getting forced out of the game
Speaker 1: script and becoming a volume thrower. It doesn't matter if
Speaker 1: you're Kirk Cousins, if you're Matt Ryan, if you Philip Rivers.
Speaker 1: I've said it all season, you don't want to become
Speaker 1: a volume thrower. Right. And and at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the season, we talked about the running back being devalued,
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott, Melvin Gordon right holding out and it wasn't
Speaker 1: really worth it. And the distinction I want to make
Speaker 1: here is the running back, the single running back is
Speaker 1: being devalued in the NFL. But what the postseason teaches
Speaker 1: us and what I've been saying for months, and if
Speaker 1: you get the status Beats Cipher, you know that I
Speaker 1: don't just give you a fish. I teach you how
Speaker 1: to fish. The running back is overrated, but a running
Speaker 1: game is underrated. And that was a big theme that
Speaker 1: we've been seeing the playoffs and the other one of
Speaker 1: these dudes just making plays. I've been saying it about
Speaker 1: Russell and about Patty, and about Lamar and about this Sean.
Speaker 1: But what what what struck me this week is that
Speaker 1: it wasn't like, yeah, they made incredible plays. I'll throw
Speaker 1: Anon Rodgers in there as well, but it's a lot
Speaker 1: of like these little small ones that you don't really
Speaker 1: talk about as much. I saw, for example, Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: should have been sacked on one random play. It was
Speaker 1: the second down play, and he should have been sacked
Speaker 1: for like six yards, but he did something ridiculous and
Speaker 1: wound up like gaining three. And that's the difference between
Speaker 1: third and sixteen and like third and five in this situation.
Speaker 1: And if little things like that that, you know, obviously
Speaker 1: the announcers will make a point about it, but it's
Speaker 1: just so big and these dudes just continue to make
Speaker 1: plays rolling out, you know, eight yard passes to Hollister,
Speaker 1: finding Davante Adams. When they're extending plays, you know, hitting
Speaker 1: Will Fuller or Duke Johnson out of the backfield, extending
Speaker 1: and rolling out and then forcing the defense to make
Speaker 1: a decision. Am I gonna run? Where I boom right there?
Speaker 1: To Travis Kelsey. All of these dudes can do that,
Speaker 1: all right, And that and the balance in the run game,
Speaker 1: or really what I'm seeing is running to day in
Speaker 1: this two thousand and nineteen NFL. So first of all,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Tennessee in Baltimore, and this is what
Speaker 1: it comes down to. What do you respect that's a
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. You have to respect Derrick Henry, right, he
Speaker 1: goes off again yards. But with Tannehill, they represent the
Speaker 1: potential of the play action game, of the throwing game,
Speaker 1: of being able to go over the top. We've seen it.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if he he only completed like seven balls,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter because if they need to, they
Speaker 1: can do that. It was so much that Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: thought that was the right hand to take away right now.
Speaker 1: With the Ravens, of course you respect Lamar, but when
Speaker 1: you're down fourteen nothing right. You can start to play
Speaker 1: a little bit differently, and even Lamar would admit that
Speaker 1: he has development in terms of throwing outside the numbers.
Speaker 1: The Titans had a unique opportunity to force that. I
Speaker 1: said early in the season they didn't want Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: becoming a volume thrower. This is not an indictment on Lamor.
Speaker 1: I'm not one of those guys being like, oh, the
Speaker 1: m v P season was food gaz, It's not. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna here throw all sorts of shade at Lamar.
Speaker 1: He was amazing. Okay. What is important is that they
Speaker 1: play from a head, that they get out early. We've
Speaker 1: always known that these teams weren't able able to force
Speaker 1: them into that. Well, look at what happened. Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: had fifty nine attempts. That's not what the Ravens want.
Speaker 1: It is no surprise that in there he turned the
Speaker 1: ball over three times. The question is, when you get
Speaker 1: punched in the mouth, do you have something else to
Speaker 1: go to? The Titans have demonstrated that they do. They
Speaker 1: haven't had to with Derrick Henry running for over a
Speaker 1: hundred eighty yards all the time, but they demonstrate that
Speaker 1: they have to, so you have to leave a safety back.
Speaker 1: When Lamar and the Ravens are running right and they
Speaker 1: do play action, there's guys running wide open all over
Speaker 1: the field because of the running game. You don't have
Speaker 1: to do that. When you're down by three scores. It's
Speaker 1: a different thing. We'll talk about the other three games
Speaker 1: will do speeds versus the kids, I hope with the
Speaker 1: fund and functional sports content as well. Episode through four

Speaker 1: millionaires are made. All right, We've been talking about these
Speaker 1: four games that happened over the weekend, and honestly, you know,
Speaker 1: for me and Lamar, it was like what happens? Like
Speaker 1: do you what where do you go to when your
Speaker 1: best pitch is gone? What's what's the other? What's the
Speaker 1: left hand? Do you know? And listen Ingram was compromised
Speaker 1: and users compromised. One of the best lineman, Marcel Yonda,
Speaker 1: was clearly compromised. And I'm not pooh pooing Lamar. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying this is the continued development for them, to
Speaker 1: be honest, they just got to develop more as a passer,
Speaker 1: right and and that's health. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: You know? Um? In this Houston Kansas City game, Wow,
Speaker 1: was that exhausting? Huh? That was like schoolyard football. There
Speaker 1: were guys laterally, and there was all sorts of I
Speaker 1: was just crazy, right obviously, And by now we all
Speaker 1: know the twenty four nothing lead and then Kansas City
Speaker 1: comes all the way back. I gotta tell you something,
Speaker 1: and I was when I was talking about this game,
Speaker 1: I was really surprised that Houston didn't try to stem
Speaker 1: the tide a little bit by running Carlos Hide more.
Speaker 1: I told you that in back to back weeks earlier
Speaker 1: in the season, and they gonna ask Applis. Colts went
Speaker 1: in there, ran the ball down the cold, down the
Speaker 1: chiefs throat and one. Then the Texans went in there,
Speaker 1: ran the ball down the chief's throat and one. Carlos
Speaker 1: Hide I believe had over a hundred yards on over
Speaker 1: twenty five carries and a touchdown in that game. And
Speaker 1: then we got news like an hour and a half
Speaker 1: before the game that Chris Jones was gonna be inactive.
Speaker 1: I really thought they were gonna run the ball more,
Speaker 1: and it couldn't because it devolved into some crazy back
Speaker 1: and forth shoot out, but then even at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the second half to try to like settle things down.
Speaker 1: I was surprised that didn't happen more. And here's what
Speaker 1: I also want to say. In this game, you saw
Speaker 1: the difference between mental mistakes and physical mistakes. I used
Speaker 1: to coach kids in in in football and in baseball,
Speaker 1: and I said, I will never get mad at you
Speaker 1: for a physical mistake. Muff punt is a physical mistake, right,
Speaker 1: But mental mistakes and coaching mistakes and scheming mistakes, like
Speaker 1: why fake punt when you're still up to just to
Speaker 1: give it when your own side of the field to
Speaker 1: give someone momentum. Why don't end around with Kenny Stills
Speaker 1: when you're moving the ball and on schedule. Those kind
Speaker 1: of things is what will get you. The physical mistakes, Hey,
Speaker 1: they happen. Block punts happened, you know, Um so I
Speaker 1: thought that was different. If I'm Houston now, I think
Speaker 1: you gotta still continue to build up the defense. Listen, J. J.
Speaker 1: Watt doesn't play full seasons. You had the like bottom
Speaker 1: five defense. The offensive sign is fine. You have Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson even with a piss poor offensive. You are seemingly okay,
Speaker 1: you need to build up that defense, all right, UM,
Speaker 1: next game, UM. And by the way, listen, UM, I
Speaker 1: saw a leadership out of Patty Mahomes when they were
Speaker 1: down twenty four nothing. It's Mahomes going up and down
Speaker 1: that bench right telling people we're gonna do something special.
Speaker 1: Don't worry hanging there. Stick with me. By contrast, and
Speaker 1: again I'm not crapping on Lamar. By contrast, Lamar sitting
Speaker 1: there like banging his helmet. You know, I think part
Speaker 1: of that is experience part of it. And Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: it's his second year in the league. He's going to evolve.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be healthy. If he had mark Ingram, he's
Speaker 1: gonna have that second option. He's gonna get better as
Speaker 1: a passer down the field. Outside the numbers. It's okay.
Speaker 1: The arrow is pointing up the same way as said.
Speaker 1: It's all good if I'm a Bills fan, right. So,
Speaker 1: and then we have yeah, and in that Minnesota San
Speaker 1: Fran game, Listen, they have been a great case study.
Speaker 1: Let me talk to you to three games from Minnesota.
Speaker 1: The first thing exhibit A is when they didn't have
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook and everybody thought Mike Boone was going to
Speaker 1: take them to a fantasy championship. And they played a
Speaker 1: Monday night football game against Green Bay and Mike Boone
Speaker 1: proved that he couldn't run the ball well. And then
Speaker 1: it became you don't have the running game right when
Speaker 1: the defense doesn't have to respect that Oh krk Cousins
Speaker 1: volume passer, he didn't look good. They lost the NFC
Speaker 1: North on Monday Night football to the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 1: Exhibit B. Last week against New Orleans, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook and uh Madison, they're running well. They combined
Speaker 1: for over thirty yards. Thirty carries, they combined for over
Speaker 1: a hundred yards. Dalvin Cook gets into the end zone twice.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Kirk Cousins has wide open guys
Speaker 1: down the middle of the field. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousin gets the monkey off his back. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, the Minnesota Vikings put up points and win.
Speaker 1: You don't think these things are related, like I've been
Speaker 1: saying all year long, and then I take you to
Speaker 1: yesterday or sad to day. Dalvin Cook runs for uh
Speaker 1: nine carries for eighteen yards. They stuff it, they get
Speaker 1: behind by multiple scores. No longer have to respect the
Speaker 1: run game volume passer, Kirk Cousins, it doesn't look pretty.
Speaker 1: It's a formula that we're seeing all across the NFL.
Speaker 1: People contrast about what we saw in the San Francisco
Speaker 1: run game. Okay, this Minnesota San Francisco game, we didn't
Speaker 1: have one of those playmaking quarterbacks. There was no Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: Russ Wilson, Patty Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, DeShawn Watson. They didn't
Speaker 1: play in this game. So it's about the run game
Speaker 1: in the balance. Look at what San Francisco does, Kevin Coleman.
Speaker 1: They combined, though, between Coleman, most Art and even Brita,
Speaker 1: to run the ball forty two times. We're a hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty yards. And let me tell you what else
Speaker 1: in that game shows it for me. Jimmy G through
Speaker 1: a pick deep his own territory. But San Francisco had
Speaker 1: about a one score lead at that point. It was
Speaker 1: second quarter. They took the ball out of Jimmy G's
Speaker 1: hands after that interception. Jimmy G had six more attempts
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. Okay, because they didn't need
Speaker 1: him to be a volume passer, because that's when mistakes happened.
Speaker 1: All right, Kirk Cousins had to be a volume passer.
Speaker 1: Didn't work. San Francis hosting the NFC Championship game. In
Speaker 1: the last game that we got to talk about, the
Speaker 1: last game of the weekend. Oh, by the way from Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Build up your offensive line. That's what it's going down
Speaker 1: to your defense. We like that her Cousin's fine game manager,
Speaker 1: don't like him as a volume thrower. You got weapons.
Speaker 1: You gotta build up that offensive line, all right. You
Speaker 1: gotta hope Dalvin Cook isn't truly injury prone. The team
Speaker 1: went ten and six. Dalvin Cook missed some games. This
Speaker 1: team goes eleven and five, wins one or two more games.
Speaker 1: They got games at home where they're much better. That
Speaker 1: defense is much better. These vikings are not far away.
Speaker 1: In the last game. Here's what was proven to me.
Speaker 1: Even Russell Wilson needs a run game for a balance.
Speaker 1: Besides his own rushing. Besides his own seven carries for
Speaker 1: sixty four yards, Lynch and Homer combined fifteen touches carries
Speaker 1: twenty nine yards. That's less than two a pop. You
Speaker 1: don't need to worry about it. So what can you do?
Speaker 1: Things like, you know, contain Russell Wilson with your rush,
Speaker 1: pin your ears back and go after him. They sacked
Speaker 1: them five times. Remember how last week I told you
Speaker 1: they're not brothers like the Watts or the Bosas. But
Speaker 1: Preston and za Darius Smith were named. You're gonna hear
Speaker 1: they each got two sacks. Okay, And then on the
Speaker 1: other side, listen, Davante Adams beasted eight for one sixty.
Speaker 1: My boy Frank Standfill put up some stats on him
Speaker 1: since his return from injury. It's been ridiculous. I think
Speaker 1: he's like wide out too. And my boy Frank asked
Speaker 1: the question, like, how many white outs are you taking
Speaker 1: ahead of Davante Adams next year in fantasy? It's a
Speaker 1: valid question. And I remind you this year, Jilly Dilley
Speaker 1: has the notes. My top three wide receivers going into
Speaker 1: this year where DeAndre Hopkins, Davante Adams, and Michael Thomas.
Speaker 1: If you go back and run the tape, I faded
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, I faded Juju Smith Schuster, I faded Odell Beckham.
Speaker 1: And going into next year, my top three wide receivers
Speaker 1: will be probably the exact same in no particular order
Speaker 1: just yet, Michael Thomas, Davante Adams, DeAndre Hopkins, maybe Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill in there as well. All right, but look at
Speaker 1: these offenses, all right, and Davantae Adams had a huge game.
Speaker 1: But here's the other thing. There was one play in there,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers flick of the wrist on a dime to
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. And I remind you, Aaron Rodgers is one
Speaker 1: of these guys as well, one of these guys that
Speaker 1: make plays, extend the plays off script, off schedule while
Speaker 1: rolling out. Okay, you either have one of these quarterbacks
Speaker 1: that just makes ridiculous plays and raises all boats, like
Speaker 1: the three guys in my poll, like a Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: like and Aaron Rodgers, I'll give you, like a Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: although he needs to learn a little bit more. Maybe
Speaker 1: there'll be others coming up. Kyler Murray comes to mind.
Speaker 1: Or you need to have that balance because otherwise, if
Speaker 1: you're not making plays and I'm asking people to guard
Speaker 1: for five six seconds because you can extend to play,
Speaker 1: you need something else. You need the thread of the
Speaker 1: run game. You need play action, right, and that's what
Speaker 1: it comes down to when Aaron Rodgers made it throw
Speaker 1: in that game last night. Well, I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, that's so beautiful. And my fiance said to me,
Speaker 1: it kind of looked like Patrick Mahomes and that brought
Speaker 1: it full circle for me. You know, we talked about
Speaker 1: Lamar and Patty and Watson and all this, but Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers really kind of I and I know Joe Ronario
Speaker 1: say it goes all the way back to Steve Young,
Speaker 1: and he's true, he's right, But like Aaron Rodgers and
Speaker 1: this new guard has really provided this dual threat and
Speaker 1: that was another big time takeaway from me for Seattle. Listen,
Speaker 1: it's again the defense like Houston, and you need a
Speaker 1: running game. Listen, Carson is serviceable. Fantasy people know him.
Speaker 1: But what if they went out and spent money on
Speaker 1: like a Melvin Gordon. What if they went out and
Speaker 1: traded for lev Bell. What if they took Deatrick Henry
Speaker 1: away from the Titans. Wouldn't that be the cherry on
Speaker 1: top for that offense with Russell still and his prime
Speaker 1: I digress on the other side of the break, when
Speaker 1: we come back, we look at speeds versus the kids.
Speaker 1: We bring in Danny Otto here from the pit of misery,
Speaker 1: and Danny and I are back in it all right,
Speaker 1: so we will see what we gotta do. The child
Speaker 1: psychology is amazing, and then we'll put the fund and
Speaker 1: functional sports content. We got a question of should I
Speaker 1: hedge or not? And uh, we got some things going
Speaker 1: on this weekend to talk about it as well. Come
Speaker 1: on back Fantasy Freestyle. You heard NFL seasons and Alpado,
Speaker 1: so you can be on the eighth person away one
Speaker 1: million dollars King's tournament, my sittinger lineup using the Daily

Speaker 1: episode four thirty three. At a Fantasy Freestyle, you got
Speaker 1: two boy speeds and spitting statistician holding you down with
Speaker 1: the stats overbeat cipher. Yo. The chat room is wild,
Speaker 1: all right. I gotta love you, Um, Andrew G. Slowdown though,
Speaker 1: area man, that's my homegirl, all right, but I do
Speaker 1: love Andrew G. Jeremy McMahon, Lance Davis, Stat's overbeat cipher representing,
Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you I love the train of
Speaker 1: thought outside of that other comment um in the chat room.
Speaker 1: First of all, Andrew G, You're right, Lamar did look
Speaker 1: stunned a little bit right. Meanwhile, Patty Mahomes got up,
Speaker 1: went up and down that bench, rallying everybody, saying let's
Speaker 1: do something special. Lamar looked a little bit stunned, and
Speaker 1: we really did. I ain't but listen, first time out there,
Speaker 1: I got it. It's all good, still very bright for Lamar, okay,
Speaker 1: But there was a difference in the way you saw
Speaker 1: Lamar respond and the way you saw Patty Mahomes respond. Also,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Man and Lands Davids talking about Bubba Sparks that
Speaker 1: you should be my man back in the day. First
Speaker 1: of all, spark one, Jeremy, you know what it is,
Speaker 1: yah do sab our. Of course, Stat's over beat cipher
Speaker 1: right there, Jeremy McMahon represent and he brings up Bubba
Speaker 1: Sparks your booda booda boo boo boot everywhere. Also my
Speaker 1: jam from Bubba, you remember that jam. It was like
Speaker 1: some kind of swallow southern joint. Was like I've been
Speaker 1: traveling for some time with my fishing pole and my
Speaker 1: bottle is shine. That's that good stuff right there. That Oh,
Speaker 1: Bubba Sparks joined, I am at at you, Jeremy Man
Speaker 1: and Lance Spark one up. And then y'all also talking
Speaker 1: about Trick Daddy. Trick Daddy, and first of all, and
Speaker 1: this brings it all full circle, Trick loves the kids, no, no,
Speaker 1: not speeds loves the kids. And we'll get into speeds
Speaker 1: versus the kids in a hot second. And then you're
Speaker 1: talking about though I'm worried about this because you're talking
Speaker 1: about Trick Daddy getting arrested in Miami high and doing
Speaker 1: blow right before I go to Miami for my bachelor
Speaker 1: party this weekend. Yeah, were talking about receding hairline. I
Speaker 1: thought you were talking about speeds instead of Trick Daddy,
Speaker 1: because it's like Trick Daddy, trick load of kids, Speeds
Speaker 1: loves the kids, you know. So I don't want to
Speaker 1: get confused with Trick. I should not be behind the
Speaker 1: wheel on Saturday. Uh, but I digress. The other thing
Speaker 1: y'all are talking about is uh Speeds loves the kids.
Speaker 1: So let's get into it, Danny. And first of all, uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: thanks Lance, Yeah, thank you, Ben. I've been traveling for
Speaker 1: some time. Yeah. I guess I'm going to hide away
Speaker 1: a way because I gotta found my way. But in
Speaker 1: any event, all right, um so, Danny, we got Speeds
Speaker 1: versus the kids. We didn't do too good. Wild card weekend, Danny,
Speaker 1: we got squaw do should we defecated the mattress. But
Speaker 1: we came back with a three in one weekend, right,
Speaker 1: So that's good. Put up the graphic right now. Because
Speaker 1: these kids, they didn't do it all right. Coral only
Speaker 1: got one win to get to four. Zoe, Michaela and
Speaker 1: Casper they got like squaw douche. All they could get
Speaker 1: up to was three. Oscar and Jasmine have two. And
Speaker 1: then here's the thing, Danny, I told you this was
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I told you parents were gonna mess up kids.
Speaker 1: So Audrey, my lovely step my lovely god daughter, and Tito,
Speaker 1: Arianna and Andy, their parents didn't get it in. They
Speaker 1: didn't get the picks in in time. Or at all,
Speaker 1: so they fall by the wayside. All right, So Danny,
Speaker 1: what we have is Cora, will you know, is the
Speaker 1: daughter of the undisclosed location, Danny Lee. Remember she's rotting
Speaker 1: with the Titans, picking the Titans at her at her
Speaker 1: mother and her father's disbelief. But we are now tied
Speaker 1: for second, Danny, alright, so you can take that down.
Speaker 1: So here's what I'm thinking, Danny, Cora is the only
Speaker 1: person who's one game up on us. Right. So but
Speaker 1: if you remember, Danny, I think it's a lock that
Speaker 1: Cora is gonna pick the Tennessee Titans. I really do.
Speaker 1: She picked them in wild card, as we remember, Remember
Speaker 1: her mother's reaction to when she picked them on wild
Speaker 1: card weekend over the Patriots. Remember that, Danny. I mean,
Speaker 1: So she's been like day one with the Titans, right,
Speaker 1: and then last weekend she goes back to the Titans
Speaker 1: against the Kansas City Chiefs, And this time Danny Lee
Speaker 1: was like, are you sure? Really? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: So Cora has been on the Titans from the beginning
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. Her parents have thought it was silly,
Speaker 1: and what do you know, now she's in first place, Danny,
Speaker 1: I mean she's sticking to her guns. I mean that
Speaker 1: that's you know. So here's the thing. I think she's
Speaker 1: going to stay with the tendency Titans and picked them
Speaker 1: to win the n f C Championship. What do you think,
Speaker 1: I mean at this point you might as well. So
Speaker 1: I think she's gonna pick Tennessee. So I've been saying
Speaker 1: on this air for the better part of the last
Speaker 1: two months that I'm on the Kansas City Chiefs bandwagon. Right.
Speaker 1: I said, Patty Mahomes was getting more healthy. I said
Speaker 1: this Kansas City Chiefs defense was improving before anyone else
Speaker 1: did run the tape. I've been on the Chiefs defense
Speaker 1: because I said even early in the season that it
Speaker 1: takes a while to learn Spagnolo zone defenses, the coverages,
Speaker 1: the responsibilities. I said earlier in the season that that
Speaker 1: Spags defense would get better. Add Interrell Suggs adding the
Speaker 1: huddy badger who don't give a what, And that's what
Speaker 1: you have it. Okay. By the way, Tom Pierce, thank
Speaker 1: you for the shout out. And my man absolutely always
Speaker 1: gets it done. Okay, I got love for the man.
Speaker 1: Toni Sincot, thanks Tim Pierce for the kind words. Okay,
Speaker 1: So back to where we were going. I think she's
Speaker 1: gonna pick Tennessee, So I'm picking Kansas City, Danny. I
Speaker 1: think that's how we make the game up on Cora.
Speaker 1: What do you say? You you already know that I agree.
Speaker 1: We were talking about this before the show. I'm definitely
Speaker 1: going with Casey, right, okay, So we're going Casey. And
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm doing some of this because if
Speaker 1: you haven't heard, and they've been giving it to me
Speaker 1: all week on this network, there will be no Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle this Thursday, all right. There will also be no
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle next Monday on Martin Luther King Day, all right, because,
Speaker 1: as many people know, I am getting married next month.
Speaker 1: I have my bachelor party is this weekend down in Miami.
Speaker 1: That's why I brought up the Trig Daddy reference, because
Speaker 1: you know, I may be in a similar spot. But
Speaker 1: we'll get into that later, all right. So, um, I
Speaker 1: gotta make some picks now. We gotta talk about this
Speaker 1: speeds versus the kids. So here's the thing, though, Danny,
Speaker 1: let's say this happens the way I think and Chiefs
Speaker 1: whin the ANFC Championship. We're even up with Cora. What
Speaker 1: do we do? Do we go opposite Cora on purpose
Speaker 1: to try to get ahead of her, or do we
Speaker 1: just mimic whatever Cora says, Like I'm gonna be I'm
Speaker 1: gonna worry about how to play this against Cora? Okay?
Speaker 1: And if do I just mimic whatever she says this way,
Speaker 1: if the Chiefs w in the a f C will
Speaker 1: be tied no matter what going into the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: or do I just say, hell, throw caution to the
Speaker 1: wind and just pick who I think regardless, even if
Speaker 1: it puts me at a disadvantage and I might not
Speaker 1: be able to catch up with her. What do you say, Danny?
Speaker 1: I mean, there's the there's the safe play, there's the
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the Chiefs? You feel like
Speaker 1: pretty confident? I mean they are seven point favorites after
Speaker 1: the last game. I'm I'm pretty damn confident with Alright, alright,
Speaker 1: fair enough. So listen, as we saw on the graphic,
Speaker 1: Cora is leading, but I have a feeling she's picking
Speaker 1: the Titans. I'm gonna go opa with her there and
Speaker 1: take the Chiefs, and I'm leaning San Francisco. Here's the thing, though, Danny,
Speaker 1: Here's my problem in this other game, I can't tell
Speaker 1: you much about it. Put up the other graphic, Danny.
Speaker 1: This is why it's hard for me, Okay, Danny. In
Speaker 1: the beginning, at the end of May, small play futures bet,
Speaker 1: I bet the Green Bay Packers to win the NFC,
Speaker 1: all right, and that would turn fifteen dollars into one fifty.
Speaker 1: All right, you can take that off. That was my
Speaker 1: bet on fandom. Remember I've been saying I was on
Speaker 1: the Packers as a team early on. Most people weren't,
Speaker 1: so my fifteen dollar bet would become a hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty dollars there. So the question is do I hedge
Speaker 1: and on hedging For those of you who don't know,
Speaker 1: let me give you a little quick gambling you right,
Speaker 1: what happens is if they win, I got a hundred
Speaker 1: fifty dollars. But if they lose, I can make now
Speaker 1: bets that are with odds for this week, but like
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and then if that one wins, I still
Speaker 1: make a profit because I'm only out fifteen bucks off
Speaker 1: green Bay loses. I can make a bet on the
Speaker 1: San Francisco side, where what I'm in essence, because remember
Speaker 1: I've outlaid fifteen bucks. There if I outlay, I can
Speaker 1: do something where I outlay I say another twenty five
Speaker 1: or combined forty dollars let's say, depending on the money.
Speaker 1: It doesn't whatever your units are. And make it so
Speaker 1: that if San Francisco wins, I win more than my
Speaker 1: total outlay, and if Green Bay wins, I win more
Speaker 1: than my total outlay. Scott Wetzel knows this. He's coming
Speaker 1: in on In Game Live. Scott, I got a problem here.
Speaker 1: I am holding Green Yeah, well, we're talking about the
Speaker 1: Bachelor party that is happening this weekend, but we're not
Speaker 1: talking about that. Yes, I'm going to Miami this weekend. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: there will be no freestyle this Thursday. There will be
Speaker 1: no freestyle this Monday. Jared is covering me on Make
Speaker 1: It Rain and p FT. But I digress. So I
Speaker 1: am holding Green Bay Packers to win the NFC. They
Speaker 1: just put it up. I bet it in May, bet
Speaker 1: it in May. I was like they got a defense
Speaker 1: this year. So but I digress. Right, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: teach him about hedging because San Frans like minus three hundred,
Speaker 1: so for me, I would have to invest enough to
Speaker 1: have it the return be more than the combined outlay
Speaker 1: and kind of sit that middle because, to be quite honest,
Speaker 1: I think San frans gonna win the game. I think
Speaker 1: San Franz gonna win the game. So what do I do.
Speaker 1: I'm not comfortable Scott with like minus three eighty or
Speaker 1: whatever it is. It makes it almost it makes it
Speaker 1: almost like not even fun to hedge and like, okay,
Speaker 1: so I'll win like twenty bucks one way or the other,
Speaker 1: you know. So what I think I'm doing If San
Speaker 1: Francisco wins, I think their defense is going to once
Speaker 1: again like they did earlier in the season, dump truck
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, stop the running game, force him into a
Speaker 1: volume thrower. Have it be five yards to target, even
Speaker 1: like it wasn't that last time. Davante Adams had seven
Speaker 1: catches yesterday for like a hundred eighty yards against San
Speaker 1: Franci had seven catches for forty six yards. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: a little bit of a different way of approaching how
Speaker 1: you gonna play it. But I saw up if I
Speaker 1: parlay San fran money line, and the under in the
Speaker 1: game that par lay in itself is plus one fifty,
Speaker 1: and I'm calling I'm holding I'm holding ten to one
Speaker 1: on green Beto in the NFC. So if I lose
Speaker 1: in San Francisco loses, I've hit ten to one for
Speaker 1: green Beto in the NFC. Oh, happy day. Another round
Speaker 1: of drinks at whatever random bar I'm at in Miami
Speaker 1: for everybody. But if they don't win and I hit
Speaker 1: this par lay at plus, it ain't that bad. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's just a round of shots for myself. Then what
Speaker 1: do you think, Scott? Do I hedge? What do I do?
Speaker 1: Talk to me? Right? Right? Oh, that's interesting, but I
Speaker 1: don't And you're like double hedging sequence the hedge interesting, right?
Speaker 1: But I can't do that because I will be in
Speaker 1: the state of Florida, right and I don't want to
Speaker 1: hit up wind the will I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: even know if I'll be in the right frame of
Speaker 1: mind to do that. Right. The other thing I can do,
Speaker 1: and here's where it comes full circle, is I could
Speaker 1: just let it ride. But I got burned on this
Speaker 1: once before, and let me tell you what it was, Scott.
Speaker 1: As by the way, the chat room is going crazy.
Speaker 1: Can I get a live stream from my bachelor party?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I may call in
Speaker 1: or something like that. Patreon subscribers, you may get some stuff.
Speaker 1: So I saw a certain man play quarterback as a freshman,
Speaker 1: and I was like, yo, that guy is the truth.
Speaker 1: And when he came back his sophomore year, his school
Speaker 1: was thirty five to one to win the national championship.
Speaker 1: That man was Deshaun Watson. That school was Clemson. They're
Speaker 1: in the National Championship game, and I'll ruin the punch line.
Speaker 1: This is the first time when they lost to Alabama
Speaker 1: and I was holding them thirty five to one, and
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, effort, let it ride,
Speaker 1: and I got banged out. I did it again in
Speaker 1: the World Cup. In the World Cup, the teams I
Speaker 1: was riding with were Croatia and Belgium. That worked well,
Speaker 1: and then I hedged and then I took France and
Speaker 1: I made some money off of it. Right. Do I
Speaker 1: do it again tonight? I don't know. I only got
Speaker 1: like a little while to figure it out, because you know,
Speaker 1: I won't be in the state of New Jersey much.
Speaker 1: I'll be down south. But we'll figure it out on
Speaker 1: this game. On this game, I'm taking Clemson plus two points.
Speaker 1: I think defense beats offense. This defense is real. Dabyl
Speaker 1: Sweeney has been there before. Um Trevor Lawrence has been
Speaker 1: there before. I think Joe Burrow and l s U
Speaker 1: I love him at all, but I think it is
Speaker 1: publicly inflated like whoa. And I think Clemson is the
Speaker 1: best team in the country, and I think they're the
Speaker 1: best defense in the country. Give me the points, give
Speaker 1: me the Tigers. But if you want to lock just
Speaker 1: about the Tigers tonight, you'll be all right. We got
Speaker 1: Scott Watson coming in, we got Jared I believe, we
Speaker 1: got Gabe and Cam Holk crew. We're crowding a champion tonight.
Speaker 1: I won't see you for a while. I hope I
Speaker 1: get back in time safety five. I know got through, Sabby.
Speaker 1: I'll see y'all. Fantasy Freestyle we out. The NFL season

Speaker 1: miss Freestyle. There's a huge story breaking in baseball, all right.
Speaker 1: The it sounds like a Major League Baseball is coming
Speaker 1: down on the Houston Nashtros. First we heard word that
Speaker 1: Astros manager A J. Hinge and the GM Jeff Lanot,
Speaker 1: we're suspended for a year. Okay. We're also hearing the
Speaker 1: Astros will forfeit their first and second round draft picks
Speaker 1: for the next couple of years. I think this is legit.
Speaker 1: I think this is a deterrent. I think it hurts him.
Speaker 1: And then we hear more that the Houston Astros have
Speaker 1: turned around and were like, you know what, forget this,
Speaker 1: and they turned around and fired Hinch and the GM,
Speaker 1: and then we hear more that they are still ready
Speaker 1: to drop in this being Major League Baseball, still ready
Speaker 1: to drop the hammer on Joey Cora and potentially the
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox because they are involved. Remember Corus sort
Speaker 1: of like the mastermind behind all this, And we're not done,
Speaker 1: and there's still talk about what this means for Carlos
Speaker 1: Beltrand now um because he was there now the manager
Speaker 1: of the meth Now A lot of people are saying
Speaker 1: and it seems like the report is indicating that no
Speaker 1: players will be um uh uh punished, right, And I
Speaker 1: wonder what you think about that, because they were all
Speaker 1: complicit in this, they all knew this. What if your
Speaker 1: arm and judge, who finishes second to Jose Altuve in
Speaker 1: the two A L M v P. What if you're
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees. What if you're the Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Dodgers who went to the World Series, you know, back
Speaker 1: to back years and we're facing this nonsense, all right?
Speaker 1: I think this is very interesting. People are not likening
Speaker 1: this all the way like to the Black Sox scandal,
Speaker 1: that it's worse than steroids, worse than Pete rolls between sounds,
Speaker 1: banging lights in the mound and all this stuff. And
Speaker 1: it's not done yet, So keep an eye out on this.
Speaker 1: I do think it is a deterrent. I do think
Speaker 1: the Astros are gonna fall by the wayside a little
Speaker 1: bit on this. Um. Yeah, I know they have great
Speaker 1: talent still, but you know, when they don't know what's coming.
Speaker 1: We'll see if that holds true. Uh, free agents aren't
Speaker 1: gonna want to sign there. They have to now hire
Speaker 1: a new manager in GM. I do think this hits
Speaker 1: and where it hurts. Would you trade it in for
Speaker 1: a title if you knew that this was gonna be
Speaker 1: And I don't even think it guarantees you a title, right,
Speaker 1: you still have to hit the ball. But if you
Speaker 1: knew this would get you a title? Is it worth it?
Speaker 1: Is it worth the crime? Is it worth it to you?
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know. Hit me up in
Speaker 1: the chat room about that. Hit me up if you
Speaker 1: would take Lamar Jackson, Patty Mahomes, Deshaun Watson, or someone
Speaker 1: else like a Josh Allen, like Kyler Murray Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, Daniel Jones, or one of these guys playing tonight,
Speaker 1: perhaps Joe Burrow, Trevor Lawrence Right or an old guard.
Speaker 1: Maybe you want to hang on to a guy like
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. But in any event, we have to look.
Speaker 1: Now there are four teams left, and that's what we're
Speaker 1: gonna get into. Okay, we're gonna talk about on the
Speaker 1: other side of the break, which is coming in a
Speaker 1: few minutes. We will talk about what speeds got right,
