Speaker 1: are running their mouth as well, and they have since
Speaker 1: been d f ade. We're gonna get into that. As usual.
Speaker 1: I've been previewing team by team, giving you speed to spotlight.

Speaker 1: We're gonna get into all that and we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: a little bit about it with Montreman the Love Dr
Speaker 1: Donnie Burns, because we haven't gotten into why the Knicks
Speaker 1: decided to take a guy that was nineteen years old,
Speaker 1: skinny with a wringings brand, just because he now is
Speaker 1: with the triangle, which is an obsolete shape right across
Speaker 1: the street at Madison Square Garden. I mean, boy, Dame
Speaker 1: Martinez speeds and spitting statistician fantasy for you stop, come on,
Speaker 1: come back, let's go to Welcome back to the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Dame martinezpis
Speaker 1: the spitting statistician holding you down this hour. Remember you
Speaker 1: could get at me at F and T s Y
Speaker 1: Radio on Twitter. You could also follow me holler at
Speaker 1: me at spitting speeds as well, if you want to
Speaker 1: chop it up. We got a lot of stuff to
Speaker 1: talk about, but listen, I want to get into this
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson stuff, but first we got to talk about
Speaker 1: may League baseball. These are the guys that are actually playing.
Speaker 1: These are the ways you can still actually make some
Speaker 1: money tonight, listen, Carlos road On is returning for the
Speaker 1: Chicago White Sox and getting to start for the White
Speaker 1: TX against the Yankees. He's coming off a sixty DAYDL,
Speaker 1: had that bicep injury, making his season debut. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's gonna go long tonight, but someone to watch
Speaker 1: in season long teams because, uh, you know, the skills
Speaker 1: are definitely there in years past. The Tigers have activated
Speaker 1: Victor Martinez from the d L. He had in a
Speaker 1: regular heartbeat going on for the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Good to see that he is okay. On the flip side, though,
Speaker 1: the Yankees put Matt Holiday on the disabled list. He
Speaker 1: had that kind of bug, this virus. They don't exactly
Speaker 1: know what it is, but they're gonna shut him down
Speaker 1: and send them back home for test. Remember the Danny
Speaker 1: h Veria trade last week. It's clear that the Marlins
Speaker 1: are open for business. Okay, they are now apparently are
Speaker 1: getting offers for relievers Aj Ramos and David Phelps. It
Speaker 1: sounds like teams in the al least like the Yanks
Speaker 1: in the Bosox might be looking at former Yank Maybe
Speaker 1: could be again Martin Prado. It looks like the Marlins
Speaker 1: are ready to sell whatever they can, as they do
Speaker 1: not think they are contenders this year. The same may
Speaker 1: be able to be said for former Cy Young Award
Speaker 1: winner on Detroit Justin Verlander. He has been dangled for
Speaker 1: a while now. I think he's gonna wind up in
Speaker 1: the NL West if they do in fact move him.
Speaker 1: I've been saying for a while that the Dodgers were
Speaker 1: an option. What about the Rizona Diamondbacks as they continue
Speaker 1: to really look good. If you had the top of
Speaker 1: that rotation with Zach Granky, you put Justin Verlander there
Speaker 1: as well, then you've got a guy like Godly in
Speaker 1: your three hole. It could be worse for the diamond
Speaker 1: Backs to try to sustain. And remember, we've been talking
Speaker 1: a lot about the return of Freddie Freeman. He's now
Speaker 1: put out a date there. He's targeting July nine to return.
Speaker 1: Remember when he does, he'll come back as a third
Speaker 1: baseman because they want to keep Matt Adams in the lineup. Now,
Speaker 1: last night, remember there was full fifteen games on the
Speaker 1: nights late, and you had Max Scherzer out there, and
Speaker 1: I told you about his streak of the last six
Speaker 1: starts striking double digit guys. That streak was in fact broken.
Speaker 1: He only had six kids and six six innings, only
Speaker 1: game of one and still got the win, so he
Speaker 1: probably did pretty good for you. I gave you guys
Speaker 1: two guys that said Dan Strellie. He only gave up
Speaker 1: two runs but did not have the k upside only
Speaker 1: went five as well, and I said watch out for
Speaker 1: James Paxton. I said, he hasn't been as good in
Speaker 1: his return since his return from the d L, but
Speaker 1: it was a pretty tasty matchup. He struck out nine
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies. He got the loss, but with seven innings,
Speaker 1: nine strikeouts and only three runs, it was a quality starts.
Speaker 1: He still earned you some points. Tonight, listen they broke
Speaker 1: it down on the DFS Lineup lock Show and listen,
Speaker 1: you guys need to listen to the DFS Lineup Block Show,
Speaker 1: Benny Richardi, Tony Sencada, Tony Sancada absolutely gets it done.
Speaker 1: And I've been telling you for a while, Benny Richardi,
Speaker 1: he's not the o G. He's the ten because when
Speaker 1: you're listening to him, you're gonna be having to fill
Speaker 1: out ten between them. They hit for almost ten thousand
Speaker 1: dollars last night, and my man Benny Richardi is going
Speaker 1: he won the Miami Qualifier. He's gonna enjoy All Star Weekend.
Speaker 1: And my boy Aaron Judge in the Home Run Derby.
Speaker 1: That's why you gotta listen to them. That's why, honestly,
Speaker 1: just download the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app. This way
Speaker 1: you get Lineup Lock, you get Fantasy Freestyle, you get
Speaker 1: b FFS, you get Rhodo Experts in the morning, you
Speaker 1: get the Fantasy Black Book, you get what I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: and you get it all for free. These guys were
Speaker 1: killing it last night. Gave you lineups that you could
Speaker 1: have won that cash. I know they did, so listen.
Speaker 1: If you want to listen to them over me, so
Speaker 1: be it. But here's who I think you can take tonight.
Speaker 1: If you want to zig when everybody else zags, I'm
Speaker 1: the high end talent like Steven Straussburg and even you Darvish,
Speaker 1: the guy I like tonight, I'm gonna give you two
Speaker 1: first one at eight four hundred on fan duel Marcus
Speaker 1: Stroman Stroman against Baltimore. He has had a quality start
Speaker 1: in every home start he has had since the middle
Speaker 1: of April. I think he's just a good picture. The
Speaker 1: Blue Jays are minus two ten. Favorite tonight's I think
Speaker 1: you get a win at a Marcus Stroman and the
Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays if you want to go even cheaper.
Speaker 1: I already mentioned him before at eight one. I like
Speaker 1: Zack Godley against the Cardinals. Zak Godley has gotten thirty
Speaker 1: or more FanDuel points than six of his last seven starts.
Speaker 1: My man has a two fifty three y r, a
Speaker 1: a one even whip, and and he's basically striking out
Speaker 1: a guy per inning. So I think those are guys
Speaker 1: if you want to try and save a little bit
Speaker 1: of money. Stroman at eight four hundred, Godly at eight
Speaker 1: one hundred. But I want to get into what happened
Speaker 1: last night. So many things were going on last night.
Speaker 1: First of all, what the Yankees were doing in their bullpen,
Speaker 1: Joe Girardi having confidence in Tyler Clippord. I was on
Speaker 1: Twitter with a bunch of people. It was absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1: It was as though it really is shout out to
Speaker 1: my man Howie Balaban. He was saying he was on
Speaker 1: some like Major League remember Lou Brown, when he was like,
Speaker 1: I know he hasn't been good these days, but I
Speaker 1: gotta hugs do. That's what Joe Girardi was doing with
Speaker 1: Tyler Clippard last night. And you know, ultimately, I guess
Speaker 1: it worked. My man Glorious Joe out there on Twitter
Speaker 1: who said, ultimately, you know it was Dylan Betantis who
Speaker 1: blew and maybe they should have left clippered in. That
Speaker 1: was crazy in itself, But I want to get into
Speaker 1: what was going on in Washington. In Washington, there was
Speaker 1: a lot of things running, like I said, mainly Tray Turner.
Speaker 1: Tray Turner now leads the major leagues with thirty two
Speaker 1: stolen bases, had four stolen bases last night, and he
Speaker 1: did it in his first two at bats. He tied
Speaker 1: his own Nationals team record for steals in the game.
Speaker 1: He had four. He did it in his first two
Speaker 1: at bats. He is also the first person in National's history.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about also when
Speaker 1: they were three expos I remember a guy named Rock
Speaker 1: Raines who was going into the Hall of Fame this year.
Speaker 1: He is the first member of the Washington Nationals to
Speaker 1: have two seasons with thirty stolen bases in its club's
Speaker 1: history in Washington. Here's the catch. Tray Turner only played
Speaker 1: in seventy three games last year, and he's only played
Speaker 1: in sixty six games this year. He already has thirty
Speaker 1: two stolen bases. But here's the thing the Nationals and Turner,
Speaker 1: they were exploiting a matchup that really has no equal
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball, and it is Miguel Montero. This
Speaker 1: is a very interesting story. Check this out. Miguel Montero
Speaker 1: going into last night was oh for twenty four in
Speaker 1: terms of throwing out runners attempting to steal against him. Okay,
Speaker 1: the national stole Trade Turners four and three others. Last night.
Speaker 1: They stole seven basses against the combination of Jake Arietta
Speaker 1: and Miguel Montero. But here's the thing. In Arietta's previous
Speaker 1: fifteen starts, he'd only had eight stolen bases off him.
Speaker 1: You gave him a start with Montero, he had seven
Speaker 1: basses stolen against him. Montero was O for twenty four
Speaker 1: in terms of throwing base runners out. He is now
Speaker 1: oh for thirty one in terms of throwing base runners out.
Speaker 1: So get what Montero says after the game, and I quote,
Speaker 1: it really sucks because the stolen bases go on me,
Speaker 1: And when you really look at it, the picture doesn't
Speaker 1: give me any time. Now, if that's not him trying
Speaker 1: to throw someone under the bus, I don't know what is.
Speaker 1: And like I said, I got the stats, and you know,
Speaker 1: shout out to my man Al Melchio. Also here on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio network, Yo, the National stole seven
Speaker 1: bases off Arietta last night. In his previous fifteen starts,
Speaker 1: he had had eight stolen bases off him. And yet
Speaker 1: the catcher Montero is gonna say that it's really on
Speaker 1: the picture, not on him. You know what else, One
Speaker 1: of tray Turner stolen bases was a delayed steel and
Speaker 1: the second time he stole third base, the third base
Speaker 1: and didn't even try to cover. Maybe it's on Arietta,
Speaker 1: but Montero is certainly now OH for thirty one and
Speaker 1: after a quote like that again to Jake Arietta, he
Speaker 1: was designated for assignment today. So there was a lot
Speaker 1: going on in Washington. That's why Trade Turner is zooming up.
Speaker 1: Player Raiders now leading the league with thirty two stolen bases,
Speaker 1: So I definitely wanted to get into that. He's gonna
Speaker 1: continue to run. Remember, Trade Turner has missed some time
Speaker 1: even this year. He is a viable bet to finish
Speaker 1: this season with seventy potentially eighties stolen bases. This guy
Speaker 1: is so fast. He's pulling off delayed steals. He's stealing
Speaker 1: third base in ways that like you know, the opposing
Speaker 1: team is not even is kind of almost giving it
Speaker 1: to him. He is going every time he's on base
Speaker 1: the stadium and the opposing team knows it, and he
Speaker 1: is going anyway. Shout out to Trade Turner hopefully, Uh,
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people got trade offers for
Speaker 1: him earlier in the season. I told you to hold
Speaker 1: onto him. Hopefully you listened. When we come back, Uh,
Speaker 1: Me and Donny Burns the Love Doctor, we're gonna get
Speaker 1: into this Phil Jackson news. We're gonna get into the
Speaker 1: CP three trade and I'm gonna talk about the Cleveland
Speaker 1: rounds and also to other football leagues going on. Come
Speaker 1: on right back, Fantasy Freestyle, speed, speedies, spitting statistician. Let's go.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. In case you didn't get that right,
Speaker 1: I am speeds and spitting statistician. Donnie Burns is the
Speaker 1: love doctor on the ones and twos, making it so
Speaker 1: hot that we sweat steam. And like I said at
Speaker 1: the top of the show, Donnie ding dong, the triangle
Speaker 1: is dead. Isaceles acute, It don't matter up to bring
Speaker 1: it all, bring your Pythagorean theorem, it does not matter anymore.
Speaker 1: At Madison Square Garden and we are at Studio Dirty
Speaker 1: four here Rock and Riley, directly across the street from
Speaker 1: the garden, which will no longer be operated by Phil Jackson.
Speaker 1: I got a lot of stuff to get it out
Speaker 1: real quick. But then I want to hear from you,
Speaker 1: Donnie Burns. Uh, you know I'm happy about this. I
Speaker 1: think it's finally time I tweeted, Uh, we finally got
Speaker 1: rid of one delusional septagenarian. Maybe, uh, you never know, No,
Speaker 1: maybe we'll get rid of another one by the time
Speaker 1: this year is out. Um. Okay, I give it to
Speaker 1: you that he drafted Kris stops porzingis right. Sure, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you that. Absolutely everything else has been completely
Speaker 1: horrible and has been through triangle shaped lenses. This is
Speaker 1: an antiquated system. This is not the way like back
Speaker 1: in the nineties when he had the double post the triangle.
Speaker 1: It was smart. But if you listen to the Fantasy freestyle,
Speaker 1: you know that I have been saying for a while
Speaker 1: now that the Golden State Warriors, part of what they're
Speaker 1: doing is changing the math and the spacing and the
Speaker 1: geometry of basketball. Well that includes the triangle. When you
Speaker 1: know the three point shot has changes, it does not
Speaker 1: work many offenses. I would say every offense in the
Speaker 1: NBA probably has some kind of like triangle principles, like
Speaker 1: when you have your shooters go to the corners and stuff.
Speaker 1: I understand that, but it is not to do exclusively.
Speaker 1: Then you have the Melo drama with Carmelo Anthony. Yes,
Speaker 1: Carmelo is a flawed player, but I gotta tell you this,
Speaker 1: he really showed class and being a professional in this
Speaker 1: drama with Phil Jackson. Phil Jackson was trying to push
Speaker 1: Mellow out for about two years, and Mellow just you know,
Speaker 1: did his job, had multiple opportunities, but he really never
Speaker 1: fired back at Phil. Phil. Also, I mean, Penny's on
Speaker 1: the dollar for guys like Tyson Channel. When we got
Speaker 1: back if On Calderone, are you kidding me? When we
Speaker 1: traded then j R. Smith and Imon Schumpert who proved
Speaker 1: to be pieces on a championship winning team, and we
Speaker 1: got back Lance Thomas. Remember the three way trade. We
Speaker 1: traded away Tim hardaway Jr. And we got back Jerry
Speaker 1: and Grant of all things. Remember thinking that Derrick Rose,
Speaker 1: who was gonna be a good idea? And during football
Speaker 1: season I talked about the brock Offswiler contract as a
Speaker 1: four year, seventy two million dollar noose around the franchise.
Speaker 1: You know where Joakim Noah's contract is four years, seventy
Speaker 1: two million dollars and he had surgery again and everybody
Speaker 1: in the league knew he was done. Who's taken his
Speaker 1: three year fifties some odd million now? Probably no one.
Speaker 1: He also was off putting to any high end free
Speaker 1: agents because they knew they weren't gonna play there for
Speaker 1: an antiquated system. He decided to hire Derek Fisher, who
Speaker 1: still is in a love triangle with Matt Barnes. He
Speaker 1: wouldn't go on road trips, and we expect him to
Speaker 1: believe that he scouted a kid from France because he
Speaker 1: has a long wingspan and would be good for the
Speaker 1: Isosceles tri angle? Are you kidding me? Ding Dong? Phil
Speaker 1: Jackson is gone? What say you, Donny Burns? Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I'm glad James Dolan finally, you know, stuck up for
Speaker 1: himself and that you mentioned that Tim Hardaway junior trade.
Speaker 1: That one hurt me a lot. I thought he was
Speaker 1: one of the better young players at that time and
Speaker 1: he's been playing. I mean, I was a big fan
Speaker 1: of him. So I'm glad they finally got rid of him.
Speaker 1: I think they kind of unloaded him when he was
Speaker 1: starting to talk crazy about trading Chris stops because he
Speaker 1: was missing meetings and what have you. So, you know,
Speaker 1: good riddence, and also, honestly, everybody, you know how, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into another team trying to build a
Speaker 1: big three in a second, but you know how, everybody
Speaker 1: wants to build a big three. Everybody wants to build
Speaker 1: a big three. He also this kid and and listen,
Speaker 1: I don't know this kid, Frank Nick Nickelina don until
Speaker 1: there you go. He may turn out to be just fine, Okay,
Speaker 1: but everyone says he's a prospect. He's a project. It's
Speaker 1: gonna take some time. Everybody wants to build the Big
Speaker 1: three done. If you had Carmelo, Anthony, Chris stops Porzingis
Speaker 1: and oh, I don't know Malik Monk, might that be
Speaker 1: enough to try to try to attract a high end
Speaker 1: free agent and go to war in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 1: It is. But the thing with that was Malik Monk
Speaker 1: was on the Knicks radar for about a few weeks,
Speaker 1: like he almost up until a draft time. The thing
Speaker 1: with him was his defensive efficiency was extremely low. And
Speaker 1: the Knicks that's something they struggled with. They're not the
Speaker 1: best defensive team in the world. You know, they've had, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, electric scores. Malik Monk is an electric score.
Speaker 1: They've had the likes of j. R. Smith. Sometimes that
Speaker 1: doesn't work. So and he's an undersized two guard at
Speaker 1: that so, uh, they kind of went with a different approach,
Speaker 1: and I personally like it. I think that was the
Speaker 1: best option at that point in time. But um yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean Malik Monk wouldn't have been a great fit
Speaker 1: in my opinion. A right, But anybody give me Dennis
Speaker 1: Smith Jr. You know he likes his and you know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. You know he's slicking that would
Speaker 1: that's his special skill as a fourteen year old. Maybe uh,
Speaker 1: maybe Lovey Smith will give him a D one offer
Speaker 1: because he was, you know, at age fourteen. But I digress,
Speaker 1: I digress about that. Let's get into this other big
Speaker 1: move here in the NBA that happened today. Donnie Burns,
Speaker 1: I know you said you wanted to talk about it,
Speaker 1: and I have questions for you about it. Um CP three,
Speaker 1: Chris Paul traded to the Rockets for Patrick Beverley, Lou Williams,
Speaker 1: Sam Decker, and the top three protected pick first of all,
Speaker 1: Jerry West doing it again in in Los Angeles with
Speaker 1: the Clippers. They knew, uh that Chris Paul they were
Speaker 1: not going to resign him, so they get they get
Speaker 1: look some legitimate assets back. Donnie from a Clippers standpoint,
Speaker 1: if you know you're not gonna have Chris Paul moving forward,
Speaker 1: if you know you weren't gonna give him fifty million
Speaker 1: dollars as a thirty five year old point guard. This
Speaker 1: is about the best haul you can get. No from
Speaker 1: the Clippers side, you know, absolutely, I was gonna say
Speaker 1: if you kind of asked me who got the better
Speaker 1: part of this trade, I would probably say the Clippers.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm a big fan of Hastrick Beverly
Speaker 1: all team defense. Pretty much every year he Williams could
Speaker 1: heat and they have the potential in that first round pick.
Speaker 1: So I like where they're going with that. On the
Speaker 1: other side of that, the Rockets now have two point cards.
Speaker 1: Where do you you spent the whole season, you know,
Speaker 1: James than one guard, and now he's going backwards and
Speaker 1: that will hurt his chances at m v P because
Speaker 1: the big talk about m VP was, oh, James hardens
Speaker 1: his team and a different you know position. So it's
Speaker 1: so that's what I was gonna ask you, because you know,
Speaker 1: you're coaching the kids, right, You're coaching the kids, and
Speaker 1: so that was me. That was my thought. Also, here
Speaker 1: wasn't didn't James Harden just have his best season ever
Speaker 1: because he was in that dan Toni system and the
Speaker 1: ball was in his hands. That's why he You know,
Speaker 1: we all said, yes, Russell Westbrook deserved the m v
Speaker 1: P Award triple double blah blah blah. James Harden like
Speaker 1: almost had a triple double. So you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: had a great season, and we were talking all season
Speaker 1: long that it was because of the way this was structured.
Speaker 1: Now you have Chris Paul, who granted is you know,
Speaker 1: likely a Hall of Famer right and still and still
Speaker 1: has it. But how does that work? How does that
Speaker 1: work now with them trying to share the ball and
Speaker 1: Jacob shots, um and and and what else do you
Speaker 1: think they still need if they're actually gonna be a
Speaker 1: big three out west On? It really ruins their dynamic
Speaker 1: now because Chris Paul, like you said, will eventually probably
Speaker 1: be a Hall of Famer. He will demand the ball.
Speaker 1: He's not a two guards, He's a point guard. So
Speaker 1: it's not a matter of will they be putting James
Speaker 1: hard into the two guards because they will be doing that. Um,
Speaker 1: I feel like they got the I get not the worst.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say worst because Chris Paul's a
Speaker 1: fantastic player, but they lost a lot of pieces you
Speaker 1: need pieces for a championship team and they lost that
Speaker 1: in the you know, the potential of their young guys
Speaker 1: with that pit as well as one of the best
Speaker 1: defenders in the league. So you know, I feel like
Speaker 1: the Rockets went backwards a little bit. You know, Chris
Speaker 1: Paul isn't young either, so right, I mean maybe maybe
Speaker 1: you know, there's still rumors out there right now the
Speaker 1: Knicks are still looking to get a buy out maybe
Speaker 1: from Carmelo that's still looking to trade him. Last time
Speaker 1: when he was a free agent, he went and took
Speaker 1: a visit down in Houston, So you never know, but
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting in the next week Donnie, of
Speaker 1: how teams try to organize themselves to uh take their
Speaker 1: shot at the Golden State Warriors. They're definitely gonna be
Speaker 1: some movement. Free agency begins. Over the weekend. We got
Speaker 1: the sports movie Greatest of All Time brackets going on
Speaker 1: to in the basketball region, Donnie Burns, we got the
Speaker 1: sixth seed. He got Game My Man, Jesus Shuttlesworth, Ray
Speaker 1: Allen back in the day. Denzel was in that movie
Speaker 1: as well. That's going up against Glory Road. If you
Speaker 1: don't know about Glory Road, it was kind of like
Speaker 1: a team in the civil rights era. Um in like
Speaker 1: the sixties down in Texas is the first kind of
Speaker 1: all African American team and um, you know, they were
Speaker 1: kind of being, um, not accepted. Shall we say, a
Speaker 1: lot of people are voting right now. And thanks to
Speaker 1: everybody at F and T s Y Radio, and thank
Speaker 1: you to everybody who's following me at spitting speeds seventy
Speaker 1: percent right now, Ron And with Jesus shuttles Worth and
Speaker 1: he's got game, Donnie Burns, I always ask you, because
Speaker 1: we've got that generational thing going. Have you seen both
Speaker 1: of these movies? Really? I have actually not seen Glory Road.
Speaker 1: I do know about Jesus Shuttlesworth. You know, back in
Speaker 1: the day, it was like a high school star in
Speaker 1: New York City. And this was like when I was
Speaker 1: coming up. I almost likened him to like what Stephan
Speaker 1: Marburg was doing as a high school student at Lincoln
Speaker 1: High School in New York. And then in the football brackets,
Speaker 1: we've got the number one seed Rudy up against the
Speaker 1: number six teen seed little Giants. Right now Rudy is winning,
Speaker 1: but not by as much as you would think. And uh,
Speaker 1: right now, we also got people out there. We also
Speaker 1: got people out there that are, you know, thinking that
Speaker 1: Little Giants kind of got screwed. Shout out to my
Speaker 1: men big time Timmy Jim on Twitter that's saying Little
Speaker 1: Giants should not have been a sixteen seed um and
Speaker 1: that he checked this out could fill buckets with the
Speaker 1: tears that he has shed watching both movies. So that's
Speaker 1: a strong advocacy for the Little Giants. Although the number
Speaker 1: one seed, Rudy is in fact leading the vote right now,
Speaker 1: you still have time to vote at F and T
Speaker 1: s Y Radio. Come on back because after the break
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into football. We're previewing not one, not
Speaker 1: to but three different football leagues. One of them had
Speaker 1: a game where Michael Vick beat Torrell Owens last night.
Speaker 1: I'm serious. You want to find out what I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: Come on back. It's your boy, Dame Martinez Speeds the
Speaker 1: spitting statistician. You heard that one right too, right. Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to the Fantasy Freestyle here of the Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network. Shoutout as usual to our sports byline affiliates
Speaker 1: around the country. And to the servicemen and women out
Speaker 1: there on the American Forces Radio Network getting the taste
Speaker 1: the home speeds of spitting statistician and Donnie Burns on
Speaker 1: the one and two is blowing up like a Samsung seven.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into football right now. Remember I'm doing
Speaker 1: my spotlight on a different NFL team every day here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle, and we're in the a f
Speaker 1: C North this week. So we talked about the Bengals,
Speaker 1: we talked about the Ravens. Those are teams that I'm
Speaker 1: kind of I'm a little down on this year. I
Speaker 1: don't think Andy Dalton is gonna do it without that
Speaker 1: offensive line. I think the Ravens are the definition of
Speaker 1: an uninspiring team. And today we go not lower and
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Cleveland Browns. Here's the thing everybody
Speaker 1: remembers them from, like, you know, being like oh in
Speaker 1: sixteen and being a laughing stock. I'm here to tell
Speaker 1: you it's gonna be better this year. That doesn't mean
Speaker 1: I expect them to contend for a playoff spot or
Speaker 1: anything like that, but I do think they are developing.
Speaker 1: And here's why. I think. You know, they invested that
Speaker 1: you know that moneyball theory. They had something like twelve
Speaker 1: draft picks. You gotta give these time kids time to develop.
Speaker 1: I believe in Hugh Jackson. I think he now has
Speaker 1: two options at quarterback. Okay, you got Cody Kessler. I
Speaker 1: believe in Cody Kessler the first round, the third round
Speaker 1: kid rookie out of USC. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know this, but he had a ninety two point three
Speaker 1: QB rating last year. He was like decent. Okay, and
Speaker 1: then you also have Deshaun Kaiser, who they took in
Speaker 1: the second round. He's the guy who, like they ultimately
Speaker 1: want to start. But I think what you have here
Speaker 1: is a legitimate competition where someone is going to have
Speaker 1: to rise to the top. I guess that could also
Speaker 1: be brock Oswidler, although I do not expected this is
Speaker 1: no fantasy goodness. Really, if you want to try to
Speaker 1: get a guy like Kaiser in a Dynasty league late,
Speaker 1: then I think that's okay. Here's where it gets interesting
Speaker 1: in fantasy. I think it gets interesting when it comes
Speaker 1: to the running back position. My man, Corey Parson has
Speaker 1: officially sold me on Isaiah crow Well. He is the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Executives Number ten overall running back, and I think
Speaker 1: that's a decent place to put him. Okay, and you're
Speaker 1: gonna not think that you're gonna not want that as
Speaker 1: your low end RB one, Okay, but that's actually where
Speaker 1: he is. If you can somehow get him as your
Speaker 1: RB two, I think you're doing real, real nice. He's
Speaker 1: running behind what is now, in my opinion, one of
Speaker 1: the top six offensive lines in the NFL, and I
Speaker 1: think it's very reasonable to say that he could get
Speaker 1: nine hundred yards, nine hundred fifty yards, a thousand yards,
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns and with about forty receptions. Duke Johnson is
Speaker 1: your PPR back. He's to get you fifty maybe sixty
Speaker 1: receptions this year, but he's not a threat unless you're
Speaker 1: in PPR settings. I do, however, think Isaiah Crowell is
Speaker 1: value for you. Okay, he is value for you in
Speaker 1: round three potentially, I think you can get If you
Speaker 1: get him in round three, you be very happy to
Speaker 1: do so. If you're in a draft and he is
Speaker 1: still there for you, Isaiah Crowell is gonna produce and
Speaker 1: be under the radar for you as someone you can
Speaker 1: ride with on your fantasy team. On the white Outs,
Speaker 1: Listen Kenny Britt, you know his floor is you know,
Speaker 1: not horrible. That's the thing. Like he's got a kind
Speaker 1: of safe floor. My man, the fantasy executive hasn't as
Speaker 1: white Out forty one. I think he can do better
Speaker 1: than that. Listen. He had sixty eight catches in a
Speaker 1: thousand and two yards last year with guys like case
Speaker 1: Keenum and Jared Goff. The fact that we're talking about
Speaker 1: Cody Kessler or Deshaun Kaiser that is actually not a
Speaker 1: step down. I don't and remember Terrell prior or last
Speaker 1: year as the white Out one for this team, you know,
Speaker 1: also had one thousand and eight yards receiving. There's no
Speaker 1: reason Kenny Britt can't get you seventy catches can't get
Speaker 1: you a thousand yards. That is good enough to be
Speaker 1: a wide receiver three for your team. Again, with Britt
Speaker 1: and with Crowell, those are gonna be two guys that
Speaker 1: people are thinking, I don't really want them there on
Speaker 1: the Browns. Those two guys might produce. However, my fool
Speaker 1: gazy when it comes to the Cleveland Browns is their
Speaker 1: tight end. This kid David and Juku, their rookie out
Speaker 1: of Miami. Listen, I don't know if you know this, okay,
Speaker 1: But tight end is the hardest position for rookies to
Speaker 1: pick up in the NFL. You have to know the
Speaker 1: entire route tree as a pass catcher, but you also
Speaker 1: have to know new blocking schemes that you never realized
Speaker 1: in college. Tight End is the hardest position for rookies
Speaker 1: to come in and make an impact in Joko. Maybe
Speaker 1: in an offense where you're like, oh wait, Gary Barnage
Speaker 1: was there, He's not there anymore. There was real production.
Speaker 1: There was a time where the Browns tight end was
Speaker 1: a legitimate startable tight end. If you want to take
Speaker 1: that risk, go ahead. But Speeds, the spitting statistician is
Speaker 1: saying that he is my fool gaze on the Browns.
Speaker 1: You need to figue out about him, all right. I
Speaker 1: will say this though, I told you the Browns are
Speaker 1: getting a little bit better. I think they are going
Speaker 1: to win some games, and so you gotta figure out Speeds.
Speaker 1: What do you mean, where are the games? Show me
Speaker 1: four or five games, and that's what I set out
Speaker 1: to do. I look at their schedule. I am going
Speaker 1: to give you five wins for the Cleveland Browns that
Speaker 1: are very possible Okay, First of all, they're gonna be
Speaker 1: favorites when they are at home against the New York
Speaker 1: Jets in week five. They host the Jets in Week five,
Speaker 1: They're gonna be favorites. I'm gonna give that game to
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. Remember how I'm saying that, I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit down on the Bengals and on the Ravens
Speaker 1: in the division. I think when they're they're going to
Speaker 1: win one of those two games home against the Ravens
Speaker 1: or home against the Bengals. I think they win one
Speaker 1: of those two. And interestingly enough, they host the Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Bengals in week four, then they have the Jets at
Speaker 1: home in week five. There is a universe where they
Speaker 1: could be like two and three at after Week five,
Speaker 1: literally building some momentum. Okay, so I know it sounds crazy,
Speaker 1: but it is actually possible. You can see a two
Speaker 1: game winning streak when they host the Bengals and then
Speaker 1: host the Jets week four and five. Then they also
Speaker 1: host the Jacksonville Jaguars this year. They host the Minnesota
Speaker 1: Vikings this year. What about I look, who do they
Speaker 1: play right after thereby? They have a road game right
Speaker 1: after thereby? But it's the Detroit Lions. That's not a
Speaker 1: crazy home field advantage. That's possible. You know what else
Speaker 1: is possible? They play the NFC North week sixteen at Chicago.
Speaker 1: By weeks sixteen, we could be talking about Deshaun Kaiser
Speaker 1: verse Mitchell don't call me Mitch Trabinsky in that game.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you there's options between the Jets, a Bengals
Speaker 1: home game, a Ravens home game, a Jaguars home game,
Speaker 1: a Minnesota home game. Who knows if Sam Bradford is
Speaker 1: healthy by then after the buyout, Detroit at Chicago weeks sixteen.
Speaker 1: Those are seven opportunities that I think are actual opportunities
Speaker 1: where they have probably a win percentage right now of over.
Speaker 1: It's possible. So given that the fact that the over
Speaker 1: under on the Cleveland Browns is four and a half,
Speaker 1: I say pass. I'm not saying take the over per se,
Speaker 1: but do not auto play the under on the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Browns this year. I think they're going in the right direction.
Speaker 1: I think the division in terms of specifically the Ravens
Speaker 1: and Bengals are not are coming back down. I think
Speaker 1: this is possible, and I think they're a team ascending
Speaker 1: a spell. Actually you never know. I think Cody Kessler
Speaker 1: is a legitimate and NFL quarterback. He will have a
Speaker 1: job in the NFL for years, and you never know
Speaker 1: about Deshaun Kaiser. Don tell me why I'm crazy, Well,
Speaker 1: you're not crazy. Well, you're only crazy for one reason.
Speaker 1: I do kind of agree with you. I am buying
Speaker 1: into Corey Parson's man crush on. But here's why I
Speaker 1: disagree with you. Joeku is probably out of all the
Speaker 1: top tight ends that were drafted, there is the most athletics.
Speaker 1: So I still think he holds value in things like
Speaker 1: Best Ball formats because while he can't block, he still
Speaker 1: isn't a fantastic tight end. So I kind of disagree
Speaker 1: with you there. But do you think in Joe Coo
Speaker 1: will would be one of the top twelve tight ends
Speaker 1: in Fantasy this year? No? Do you think he'll be
Speaker 1: one of the top fifteen. No, That's what I'm saying
Speaker 1: in Best Ball? So maybe the value he's not completely
Speaker 1: But here's the thing I think, David and Joke, who's
Speaker 1: kind of guy that you draft? Okay, I'll give you
Speaker 1: the best ball point. Don You're absolutely right, but like
Speaker 1: he's the kind of guy, that someone is going to
Speaker 1: try to hype up just because they want to be
Speaker 1: right on the off chance that it actually hits. That's true.
Speaker 1: But in the same light, you are speaking on Cody
Speaker 1: Kessler being not that bad of a quarterback. The only
Speaker 1: knock on Joku is his blocking. I know that does
Speaker 1: get harder moving up to the NFL, but he could
Speaker 1: surprise some people. I do agree with you, he is.
Speaker 1: If he isn't able to kind of learn that system,
Speaker 1: he will be almost rendered useless. But um, you know,
Speaker 1: we shall see, we shall see. Put a gun to
Speaker 1: my head, I say, I think the Cleveland Browns go
Speaker 1: four and twelve this year. Yeah, I think that, which
Speaker 1: is an improvement. Okay, And I tell you this, I
Speaker 1: give him more. They might go five and eleven. But
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I'll tell you this, they will not.
Speaker 1: They will not have the worst record in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I will bet that. I bet that right now that
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns will not have the worst record in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Unfortunately, I think that goes to my own
Speaker 1: New York j Et as Jets Jets also agree with that.
Speaker 1: But I'm okay, man, I'm alway hashtag suck for Sam
Speaker 1: you know on the Fantasy Freestyle every week after college football,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be giving you Sam Donald stats, Josh Rosen's stats.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be giving you my man, Lamar Jackson stats.
Speaker 1: I do like Sam Donald. I think I think he
Speaker 1: can't miss me. I think he is a face of
Speaker 1: a franchise for twelve years after he comes out. I'm serious.
Speaker 1: Might write that down like yo, since he will be
Speaker 1: the highest highest touted quarterback prospect since Andrew than Andrew Luck.
Speaker 1: He will since Andrew Luck. So that means more than
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, more than Jamis Winston and Marcus Mariota. He
Speaker 1: will be since Andrew Luck. But let me tell you
Speaker 1: something else, and Donnie, the listeners don't disagree with us,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Okay. We put up the
Speaker 1: poll all the time about you know, like where the
Speaker 1: listeners think that they'll finish. And what if I told
Speaker 1: you that right now nine percent of people think the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns were Super Bowl contend. Do you think that's
Speaker 1: just trolling? Yeah, sometime, patrona sometimes, But um, what if
Speaker 1: I told you that there was there was a football
Speaker 1: game last night where Michael Vick beat Terrell Owens one,
Speaker 1: did you know that flag football is trying to do
Speaker 1: its thing. There's the American Flag Football League. They had
Speaker 1: their inaugural game of the season in San Jose. Oto
Speaker 1: Sinko was involved, justin Forsette was involved. These are real,
Speaker 1: These are real players, kind of like the Big Three
Speaker 1: almost was involved because he wasn't very involved, fair enough.
Speaker 1: But if Oto Sinko, Terrell Owens is out there, Michael
Speaker 1: Vick and you know, Michael Vicken, flag football would be
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. I would think so. And here's the other thing.
Speaker 1: I think this is a viable option. Everybody who's talking
Speaker 1: about how dangerous football is, flag football is a safe way,
Speaker 1: you know, to still enjoy the game. And quite frankly,
Speaker 1: I'm not alone. I'm gonna tell you who else is
Speaker 1: doing this. Drew Brees is saying that he wants to
Speaker 1: start a huge flag football league. He's saying this is
Speaker 1: an opportunity to quote unquote save the game of football.
Speaker 1: He says this would be filling a void that is
Speaker 1: much needed. Check this out, Drew Brees. I would not
Speaker 1: let my kids play tackle football right now because I
Speaker 1: don't think that's necessary. I don't think it's fun at
Speaker 1: this level, there's too much risk associated with putting pads
Speaker 1: on right now, So how can I still allow them
Speaker 1: to enjoy the game? Hit well? Flag football. I think
Speaker 1: flag football is the perfect alternative to parents who have
Speaker 1: concerns about concussions and injuries. You're still able to enjoy
Speaker 1: the game, but in a fun, safe and competitive environment.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, maybe maybe, uh the violence will
Speaker 1: stop A football will take a flag kind of form.
Speaker 1: Michael Vick Terrell owens that star power behind the league.
Speaker 1: I didn't know this was even going on, but they
Speaker 1: had their first game in San Jose last night. Michael
Speaker 1: Vicks team won one. What do you think Don did?
Speaker 1: Was this even on your radar? I didn't even know
Speaker 1: about it until you mentioned did you know? Ten minutes ago?
Speaker 1: I had no idea they even do, So check it out.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's an interesting idea, especially when
Speaker 1: you talk about all the you know, all the health
Speaker 1: and safety risk to football. And listen, I've been telling
Speaker 1: you guys, during summer, people will watch anything. Okay, they
Speaker 1: they're putting like drone racing on ESPN two these days.
Speaker 1: So right now when other people are now starting to
Speaker 1: think about fantasy football, you should have already thought about it.
Speaker 1: Go and get that Rhodo Experts package right now. That
Speaker 1: is a draft package that is gonna hook you up.
Speaker 1: We got a special promo code over the July fourth
Speaker 1: Holiday for the biggest discount ever. You need to go
Speaker 1: out and get that Rhodo Experts, uh, you know, Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football package. When we come back, we're gonna check out
Speaker 1: the scores around Major League Baseball. See who's winning some cash.

Speaker 1: episode of the Fantasy Freestylership. Boy Day Martinez speeds the
Speaker 1: spitting statistician here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle Here on a Wednesday.
Speaker 1: We are live from Studio thirty four and Rock and
Speaker 1: Riley's is your avoid. Dane Martinez, peza spitting statistician. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you what's going on so far already a
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball the Indians have gotten a run on you, Darvish.
Speaker 1: They're up one nothing in the bottom of the third.
Speaker 1: The Twins have gotten runs of Rick Porcello. They are
Speaker 1: up to nothing in the third inning. The Mets a
Speaker 1: up three oh on the Marlins in the third inning
Speaker 1: as Drubal Cabrera with his seventh home run of the season.
Speaker 1: He doesn't like playing second base, but he's gotta like
Speaker 1: going yard. Brewers. Ryan Braun has just gone yard and
Speaker 1: Brewers take a to one lead on the Reds. The
Speaker 1: Royals are up on the Tigers one to nothing that game.
Speaker 1: In the fourth inning, Blue Jays up in Toronto one
Speaker 1: nothing in support of the guy I told you, Marcus
Speaker 1: Stroman tonight. And the Gnats all over John Lackey, they're
Speaker 1: five nothing. I'll tell you if I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: Trey Turner stole another base yet. But Matt Weters is
Speaker 1: gone yard for his seventh of the season, Anthony Rendon
Speaker 1: for his fifteen, and the Pirates are all over the
Speaker 1: returning Uh, young guy, Blake Snell. Pirates up four one
Speaker 1: in the third inning. I'm checking to see right now
Speaker 1: if you know Trey Turner has stolen another base in
Speaker 1: that game. Uh, it looks like he might have. It
Speaker 1: looks like he might have. I mean, he did get
Speaker 1: on and he did score a run. I'm gonna check
Speaker 1: that out as we move forward. And also, this greatest
Speaker 1: movie of all time thing is starting to narrow. The
Speaker 1: Little Giants making a run on Rudy. That's a one
Speaker 1: sixteen matchup. Remember, we're getting some people out there thinking
Speaker 1: that Little Giants should have been a higher seed. Shout
Speaker 1: out to big time Timmy Jim out there that is uh,
Speaker 1: you know, saying both movies got him emotional. Little Giants
Speaker 1: and Rudy and Jesel shuttles Worth is making it pop off.
Speaker 1: He got game big over Glory Road right now. And
Speaker 1: we preview the Cleveland Browns. And while Donnie Burns and
Speaker 1: myself both think that they're gonna on the upswing, they're
Speaker 1: gonna get better, winning maybe four or five games this year,
Speaker 1: still six of you still say they are a threat
Speaker 1: to pick in the top five in next year's draft,
Speaker 1: where my man Sam Donald will most likely go. Hopefully
Speaker 1: though he's gonna go to my team, the j E. T.
Speaker 1: S Jess Jets. Jets come on back tomorrow, same bad time,
Speaker 1: same bad channel. We're gonna break it down a little
Speaker 1: bit more. See what else is going on in the NBA.
