Speaker 1: you know, one of these other leagues, the XFL which
Speaker 1: Vince McMahon says it's coming back, the Arena League, the
Speaker 1: CFL Canadian Football, or on this Sunday night without football,

Speaker 1: this hour, you candidate four four eight, four, three, six, eight,
Speaker 1: seven nine. We're gonna be checking in with my guy.
Speaker 1: It's your boy, the analyst Chris Venture. A little bit
Speaker 1: later on in the show, he's abandoned me Monday through Thursdays,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna catch him up with all the fun
Speaker 1: we've been having in functional sports radio. But let's get
Speaker 1: it started here with news and notes from around the
Speaker 1: NFL as usual. Listen, the Pats have had a walk
Speaker 1: through today and Rob Gronkowski was not there, Okay, so listen,
Speaker 1: this concussion story is what we are going to continue
Speaker 1: to monitor all weekend long, and I'm guaranteeing you this
Speaker 1: will be the number one injury update or piece of
Speaker 1: news that they are gonna be talking about at Media Day.
Speaker 1: So I have a feeling I gotta feel in that
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski will have a limited practice session like on Monday.
Speaker 1: I think media Day is Tuesday, a right, so if
Speaker 1: he has not seen the field and that is hanging
Speaker 1: over still, I think it would be such a huge
Speaker 1: topic at media Day. I think the Patriots are savvy
Speaker 1: enough to at least have Gronk out there, maybe in
Speaker 1: a red jersey or in a limited piece of work,
Speaker 1: so they can say that he is trending in the
Speaker 1: right direction. What I will say about this, though, and
Speaker 1: this is because I truly care about players safety. Never
Speaker 1: Mind the NFL and the NFL p A and there
Speaker 1: you know their passive aggressiveness towards these issues. I care
Speaker 1: about player safety. So I wonder should the protocol not
Speaker 1: only be different, We've talked about that, but what about
Speaker 1: the return to play protocol? Because the Super Bowl is
Speaker 1: a different animal than most. Isn't it louder then most games?
Speaker 1: Aren't there more flashing lights than most games? Aren't there
Speaker 1: more fireworks than most games? Aren't there more jet flyovers
Speaker 1: then most games? Aren't there more like crowd noise and
Speaker 1: paparazzi and lights and all that stuff which could be
Speaker 1: bad to someone recovering from a concussion. But I digress.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll be fine. I'm sure he'll get cleared.
Speaker 1: Pat Shermer says, Eli Manning quote unquote has years left,
Speaker 1: and Dave Gettuman the new Giants GM says Eli. Still,
Speaker 1: when he checks the tape, still has plenty of armed talent.
Speaker 1: This now sounds like a new regime that wants Eli
Speaker 1: Manning to stay with the new York Football Giants. What
Speaker 1: I think is going to happen is what I've been
Speaker 1: telling you guys for a while. Yes, I do believe
Speaker 1: that the New York Giants will retain Eli Manning. But
Speaker 1: what I also do think is that they're going to
Speaker 1: use that number two overall pick on a quarterback, and
Speaker 1: I think it is the Rosen one out of U c.
Speaker 1: L A. Josh Rosen. But I think that Eli will
Speaker 1: wind up doing the same thing for Rosen that Kurt
Speaker 1: Warner did for Eli in his rookie year, that being
Speaker 1: mentor him, help him with the playbooks, start the first
Speaker 1: you know, six to eight games, and then eventually give
Speaker 1: way maybe to the rookie when he is ready. But
Speaker 1: the front office really sounds like they are behind Eli Manning.
Speaker 1: In Buffalo, sad News to report center Eric Would has
Speaker 1: a neck uh injury, a kind of degenerative issue, which
Speaker 1: is going to force his retirement from the NFL. Would
Speaker 1: has been the Bills cententer ever since he was drafted
Speaker 1: in the first round in two thousand and nine. Listen,
Speaker 1: that's what you're looking for when you draft the first
Speaker 1: round offensive lineman. You were looking for stability, and you
Speaker 1: could just pencil his name into the lineup for ten years.
Speaker 1: And that is what the Buffalo Bills got out of
Speaker 1: Eric Would We tip our cap here at the fantasy
Speaker 1: freestyle to Eric would Josh McDaniels is meeting with the
Speaker 1: Colts again. Let me tell you something. This is like
Speaker 1: the worst kept secret in all of the NFL. Okay,
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels is going to be the next head coach.
Speaker 1: They're calling it like a follow up interview. What this
Speaker 1: is is planning. They are planning so that they can
Speaker 1: hit the ground running. Okay, that's what they're doing. They're
Speaker 1: figuring out their free agency plan, their draft strategy, maybe
Speaker 1: their practice scheduled things like that, going over the personnel
Speaker 1: so that Josh McDaniels can hit the ground running. This
Speaker 1: is only because the Patriots are still playing. That's the
Speaker 1: only reason. Also that the Detroit Lions head coach opening
Speaker 1: is still opening. That's because it's gonna be Matt Patricia,
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator in New England. This is no This
Speaker 1: is happens all the time. Okay. Last year, if you remember,
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons were in the Super Bowl. At that
Speaker 1: point in time, their offensive coordinator was Kyle Shanahan. Everyone
Speaker 1: knew he was going to be the next head coach
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. They just couldn't announce the same thing's
Speaker 1: gonna happen with Matt Patricia in Detroit. To be quite honest,
Speaker 1: that's the same reason the timing for the Pat Shermer
Speaker 1: announcement earlier this week. It was as soon as Minnesota
Speaker 1: got bounced from the playoffs. Speaking of coaching hires, the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals have hired ex Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike
Speaker 1: McCoy as they are oc Remember um McCoy was also
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Chargers for a few years
Speaker 1: back in the day. But he's really a bad quarterback. Look,
Speaker 1: this guy was offensive coordinator for Denver the last few years,
Speaker 1: worrying about like Simeon and Lynch and Oswidler. He now
Speaker 1: goes to um Arizona right after Carson Palmer retires and
Speaker 1: he's going to have to build that Q be room
Speaker 1: up from the ground up as well. Last piece of notes,
Speaker 1: I'll give you this from a team that is actually
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, but it's injury news, but it's
Speaker 1: not going to impact the game. It came out that
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz not only toward his A C L, but
Speaker 1: he also tored his L C L in that injury
Speaker 1: against the Rams. I gotta tell you, guys, if if
Speaker 1: I could show you Speeds has done the same thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: I got an A C L SCAR. I got an
Speaker 1: L C L SCAR, So I understand that recovery. They
Speaker 1: have the timetable at nine to twelve months. Listen to
Speaker 1: if you think about that, because it would happened in
Speaker 1: December or late November, real late in the season. That
Speaker 1: puts his kind of Week one status in a little
Speaker 1: bit of doubt. They say today that they are quote
Speaker 1: unquote hopeful that he makes it for Week one, keeping
Speaker 1: on on that, but he'll be missing most of training camp,
Speaker 1: most of the preseason at the very least. All Right,
Speaker 1: I gotta go back to this here on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: Earlier in the week, I played the Ali Raisman testimony
Speaker 1: um that she had about Larry Nasser, who has then
Speaker 1: since been sentenced to I believe it was between forty
Speaker 1: and a hundred and seventy five years in prison. And
Speaker 1: I talked about how earlier this week, three of the
Speaker 1: members of the United States Olympic the USA Gymnasts. Actually
Speaker 1: USA Gymnastics resigned the chairman of the board, the vice
Speaker 1: chairman of the board, the treasury of the board has
Speaker 1: already resigned. I talked about how this was going to
Speaker 1: be an issue that was going to continue to blow
Speaker 1: up as a big story, and today, um, the United
Speaker 1: States Olympic Committee has said to USA Gymnastics that if
Speaker 1: they do not fire or have their entire board resign,
Speaker 1: that the United States Olympic Committee is going to decertify
Speaker 1: USA Gymnastics. The United States will no longer have an
Speaker 1: Olympic level program unless the entire board of USA Gymnastics resigns.
Speaker 1: I think that is a strong step. I think that
Speaker 1: is an appropriate step for the United States Olympic Committee
Speaker 1: showing that they are absolutely very serious about this heating
Speaker 1: Ali Raceman and others words. How they say they are
Speaker 1: going to further investigate who knew that this was going
Speaker 1: on and when they knew it. They are going to
Speaker 1: force the entire board of United States gym Gymnastics to
Speaker 1: resign by the end of the month, by Wednesday. They
Speaker 1: are going to put an interim board in place by
Speaker 1: the end of next month, by February, and what they
Speaker 1: are going to do is then kind of certify or
Speaker 1: make the board official in twelve months after that. Okay,
Speaker 1: they're going to continue and endum and then investigation. Remember,
Speaker 1: Larry Nasser was the team doctor, and to be quite honest,
Speaker 1: one piece that I did not know until later on
Speaker 1: this week is he was He is already serving a
Speaker 1: sixty year sentence um for um, you know, the same thing, harassment. UM.
Speaker 1: So the judge did in fact sign his death warrant,
Speaker 1: but it continues, okay this week. Also because Larry Nasser
Speaker 1: was also a team doctor for Michigan State, and Michigan
Speaker 1: State is starting to have officials run for the hills
Speaker 1: as well. Okay. The president of the university, Luanne Simon,
Speaker 1: who I should say is as a woman, okay, resigned
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Today the athletic director Mark Hollis abruptly retired today.
Speaker 1: This scandal goes far beyond just Gymnastics USA Gymnastics in
Speaker 1: Michigan State officials are leaving left and right and outside
Speaker 1: the lines. Today had a report out that there is
Speaker 1: kind of institutional um issues with this at Michigan State,
Speaker 1: that they were actually suppressing information on sexual assault allegations
Speaker 1: against members of the football team and of the basketball team.
Speaker 1: It makes me wonder, Hey, Tom Izzoh, Hey Mark D'Antonio,
Speaker 1: did you know about this as well? You know, we
Speaker 1: could have here a Joe Paterno Sandusky kind of situation.
Speaker 1: This watch this, The A D the university president have
Speaker 1: both left in shame this week already the entire board
Speaker 1: of USA Gymnastics is being forced to resign or have
Speaker 1: them be decertified. And I think these are appropriate steps
Speaker 1: after what Larry Nasser did institutionally with kind of protection
Speaker 1: it looks like from a couple of organizations for a
Speaker 1: while with children. So I'm glad that we talked about
Speaker 1: it when we did here on the Fantasy Freestyle, and
Speaker 1: I'm glad that we continue to have updates as this
Speaker 1: spirals even more. When we come back though on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle, we're gonna have a brighter topic, the NFL
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. When we come back here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. At your boy speed it spitting statistician,
Speaker 1: we'll have Chris Venture back to as well. Come all
Speaker 1: right back, Hey there, everybody, it's me Joe Peza Pia.

Speaker 1: right here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know
Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah, but if it wasn't for the Bronx. Yeah,
Speaker 1: big shout out to the Boogie Down Bronx. It's the
Speaker 1: home of species spitting statistician, the Stable Genius. Shout out
Speaker 1: to Liberty Finder on Twitter, always hitting me up, knowing
Speaker 1: that I've added the Stable Genius to my a k
Speaker 1: A s. Hitting me up. He was on a little
Speaker 1: bit of a basketball uh roots show and hitting up
Speaker 1: me and Tony Sencada to me and Tony um are
Speaker 1: lineups overlapped a lot tonight in DFS. Okay, you still
Speaker 1: got five minutes left, I think in DFS tonight. I
Speaker 1: think the first game doesn't tip off until seven thirty.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now. We like Shabaz Napier
Speaker 1: as a punt play on Portland tonight. He's gonna get
Speaker 1: some extra minutes. I like Zach Lavine tonight, he's gonna
Speaker 1: get more minutes. I like Michael kid Gil Chris as
Speaker 1: a punt play tonight. And listen, this Houston, New Orleans
Speaker 1: game has a two seven total. I'm gonna try and
Speaker 1: get as much of that game as absolutely possible. But
Speaker 1: I want to turn our attention to UH the Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl this weekend on Sunday. There was a Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: skills competition last night, or at least it aired last night.
Speaker 1: And listen, this is something we talked about last year.
Speaker 1: We were very excited about the prospect of the dodgeball matchup,
Speaker 1: and we thought some of these other ones were interesting.
Speaker 1: So I previewed them a little bit on yesterday's show,
Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you something, shots called by your
Speaker 1: Boys speeds the spitting Statistician. First of all, there was
Speaker 1: the passing kind of like passing accuracy QB challenge. Derek
Speaker 1: Carr took that home over Russell Wilson over Alex Smith,
Speaker 1: and there was one other quarterback over Jared Goff as well.
Speaker 1: Derek Carr took it. I think, you know, John Gruden's
Speaker 1: gotta love it. Russell Wilson didn't look too good. I
Speaker 1: think he put up the lowest score. But to be honest,
Speaker 1: when does Russell Wilson get a chance to really just
Speaker 1: stand in one spot and deliver the football? He's better.
Speaker 1: He should have been on rolling out more than just
Speaker 1: standing and delivering from the pocket because that offensive line
Speaker 1: does not protect him. Then they had the drone drop. Okay,
Speaker 1: I like this event. I think it is cool. It
Speaker 1: was Jarvis Landry and Patrick Peterson. Jarvis Landry gets to win.
Speaker 1: Does Patrick Peterson? I think could not handle it when
Speaker 1: it came from a hundred and twenty ft high. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's like twelve stories high. I think that's crazy. Now,
Speaker 1: I liked this event, but I was I said it
Speaker 1: last night. I will say it again. This event would
Speaker 1: be better if they had these guys, you know, Jervis
Speaker 1: Landry and uh Patrick Peterson. But then if they also
Speaker 1: did it with two of the linemen that they had, Like,
Speaker 1: let's say they also did it with Geno Atkins and
Speaker 1: Ryan Terrogan. I think that would be fun to see.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, having the big men do it.
Speaker 1: I think that would be a little bit more interesting
Speaker 1: than they had this um like Gridiron Gauntlet, which is
Speaker 1: like a relay race and an obstacle course. This this one,
Speaker 1: to me is just I don't really think like this
Speaker 1: is that. I think if of all the events, this
Speaker 1: is the one to cut. This is also the one
Speaker 1: though that we see the defensive lineman and the linebackers in.
Speaker 1: They're doing you know, they're pushing heavy bags, They're going
Speaker 1: over and under walls and stuff like that, and that's like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'd rather see the defensive lineman do silly stuff like
Speaker 1: catch balls from a drone. I really would That was
Speaker 1: just okay, they're the best hands one. I like that woman.
Speaker 1: I like that they added a wall you gotta kind
Speaker 1: of jump over to make a high catch. I like
Speaker 1: that they have the diving catch they added. I would
Speaker 1: like to see more more obstacles around, kind of the sideline,
Speaker 1: the toe tapping. But it was cool. Um Michael Thomas
Speaker 1: took it on home. I gotta tell you something. Keenan Allen,
Speaker 1: though fo Gazzey. Forget about him. He put on a
Speaker 1: bad showing uh in the Best Hands competition. Then they
Speaker 1: did this a new thing with the kickers kick tac toe.
Speaker 1: I thought it was creative. I thought it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: They had to be in essence, Wind kicked tick tac
Speaker 1: toe with balls they kicked. They started though, from forty
Speaker 1: five yards out, and they weren't really being effective with
Speaker 1: their accuracy, so they moved in to thirty five, then
Speaker 1: ultimately to twenty five yards. It was cool, though, I
Speaker 1: think they should bring it back. I thought that was
Speaker 1: very in interesting. And then what they did at the
Speaker 1: end was dodgeball, all right, and I like the dodgeball.
Speaker 1: It came down to the dodgeball. The a f C
Speaker 1: wound up winning. And if you remember what I said yesterday,
Speaker 1: you could play it back. Bona the Manimal will tell
Speaker 1: you what I thought was. I liked the a f C. Bivona.
Speaker 1: You could back me up on this when I bring
Speaker 1: you in later on in the show. I said, I
Speaker 1: like the a f C because the NFC's wide receivers
Speaker 1: were Michael Thomas and um who else, oh, Davante Adams.
Speaker 1: Those are two tall guys, big outside receiver kind of guys,
Speaker 1: I said the a f C. I like them because
Speaker 1: their wide receivers were Keenan Allen and Jarvis Landry. More
Speaker 1: slot guys, more shiftier guys. I said, I thought that
Speaker 1: would give the a f C the advantage, and I
Speaker 1: picked the a f C to win at Dodgeball. Well,
Speaker 1: it came down there was only one person left on
Speaker 1: each team, and the sole survivor for the a f C,
Speaker 1: who ultimately won was Jarvis Landry. Just like I said
Speaker 1: that that would be a benefit to the a f
Speaker 1: C team, and that is in fact what happened. What
Speaker 1: this is your boy speeds the spitting statistician, once again
Speaker 1: calling his shot. The other thing that it's always interesting,
Speaker 1: people said later on, because Landry was a sole survivor
Speaker 1: in dodgeball because he won the drone drop, because last
Speaker 1: year he also won the best hands competition. Did this
Speaker 1: help his free agency case at all? I don't think so,
Speaker 1: but it is interesting and funny to think about. But
Speaker 1: as I said on Sunday, we will in fact have
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, and I got a couple of things
Speaker 1: to say about this. First of all, I agree with
Speaker 1: most people who don't care we had a pull question
Speaker 1: up yesterday and more people said they would watch the
Speaker 1: skills competition rather than the Pro Bowl. That they would
Speaker 1: watch the skills competition but not the game was more
Speaker 1: than even would watch the game but not the skills competition.
Speaker 1: And we gotta pull question up right now. And it's
Speaker 1: like the Pro Bowl up against other leagues, the CFL,
Speaker 1: your Marina League. Right now, the x FL is kicking
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowls. But I I also believe, like if
Speaker 1: I had a poll of like will you watch the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, will you watch the Grammys or will you
Speaker 1: watch the Royal Rumble on Sunday, I bet the Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl would not win that one either. So they gotta
Speaker 1: do some things, I think to bring up the excitement,
Speaker 1: you know, because also the players were saying it themselves.
Speaker 1: I heard an interview with t Sizzle Terrell Suggs. He said, like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's a he's a veteran at this point,
Speaker 1: he's been in the league for like fifteen sixteen years.
Speaker 1: He's saying that he was gonna skip the Pro Bowl,
Speaker 1: but his kids wanted to go down to our Land though,
Speaker 1: So that's what he's doing. He's doing it, you know,
Speaker 1: for the family. For the kids. He said, though all
Speaker 1: the players, though the young players, were asking him what
Speaker 1: was it like when he was in Hawaii. He was like,
Speaker 1: that was an incentive for NFL players to go to
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. But that is not the case anymore.
Speaker 1: Check this out. Also, you know, remember when the Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl rosters were announced and there was all this angst
Speaker 1: about all these guys who were snubs who didn't make
Speaker 1: the cut. We'll check this out. We have had twenty
Speaker 1: eight replacements for the Pro Bowl so far at last check,
Speaker 1: and there probably will even become more by the last
Speaker 1: time I check it. You know. So even if you
Speaker 1: think you're a snub and you don't make it, the
Speaker 1: next twenty eight guys made it. Okay, So a lot
Speaker 1: of people are still gonna get that bonus money. A
Speaker 1: lot of people still gonna get that free trip. Too
Speaker 1: bad it's to Orlando instead of to Hawaii. What I
Speaker 1: do want to say, though there's still no Jets on
Speaker 1: the roster, I believe there are no Bears on the
Speaker 1: roster either. There is one member though, of the o
Speaker 1: N sixteen. Cleveland Browns linebacker Joe Sholbert made the squad,
Speaker 1: and no, I'm not doing DFS for this because listen,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta draw the line somewhere. Even my man,
Speaker 1: the Tony Sincada, said he was drawing some red lines
Speaker 1: in the sand here. But if you're into that sort
Speaker 1: of thing, here's what I'll tell you. They're doing the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl Super Bowl slate as a two game slate. Okay,
Speaker 1: you gotta take a defense from the Super Bowl teams
Speaker 1: because this game, the Pro Bowl is gonna be ridiculously
Speaker 1: high scoring. They're not even allowed to sack the quarterback, right,
Speaker 1: so you can't take a Pro Bowl defense. You gotta
Speaker 1: take one of those defense and you gotta take um
Speaker 1: a a quarterback from the teams that are in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Okay, so in the Super Bowl, you gotta
Speaker 1: take a defense and you gotta take a quarterback. I
Speaker 1: do think there are some value though, with running backs
Speaker 1: and wide receivers in the Pro Bow because they're gonna
Speaker 1: get a lot of opportunities. They're not gonna call any penalties. Really,
Speaker 1: it's kind of an open game. And here's the thing
Speaker 1: that I look for. First of all, I look for
Speaker 1: guys that you could stack with their normal quarterback, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Where there's a com so, for example,
Speaker 1: like Philip Rivers and Keenan Allen are both gonna be
Speaker 1: there at some point in the third quarter, the FC
Speaker 1: is gonna get a drive, Philip Rivers is going to
Speaker 1: be focusing in on Keenan Allen. I think that's interesting.
Speaker 1: This also happens with Drew Brees and Michael Thomas, who
Speaker 1: I both believe will be there. So maybe Michael Thomas
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen are interesting wide receivers to consider in this
Speaker 1: kind of slate. Also Russell Wilson and Jimmy Graham. You
Speaker 1: know it's not a wide receiver, but that might be
Speaker 1: an interesting stack option, um, at least on the tight
Speaker 1: end side, if you don't want to go with a
Speaker 1: guy like Gronk or Earths if they're too too expensive
Speaker 1: in that one. Okay, but that's I still think we
Speaker 1: need to change or fix the Pro Bowl because you
Speaker 1: know it's not people don't want to watch it. Uh,
Speaker 1: players don't even want to go. So here's a couple
Speaker 1: of ideas. What do you think about this? And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna ask my man, Chris Ventra, who we're gonna bring
Speaker 1: in in our next segment after the commercial break, what
Speaker 1: he would do. I got three ideas. One is making
Speaker 1: kind of like a rising Stars game. Make it that
Speaker 1: like you have to be twenty six years old or
Speaker 1: younger in order to play, Like I knows is there
Speaker 1: and all that, but he's only going for the kids,
Speaker 1: you know. Make it be people that actually relish the
Speaker 1: chance of playing in the Pro Bowl. Make it be
Speaker 1: like first or second year guys. Make it be like
Speaker 1: a Rising Stars kind of game, right where it's guys
Speaker 1: in years one and two of their career, verse guys
Speaker 1: in years three and four of their career or something
Speaker 1: like that. But I think you gotta make it all
Speaker 1: young kids. That's idea number one. Idea number two is
Speaker 1: what about what if you do something like reignite like
Speaker 1: old school rivalries, Like you get guys that were all
Speaker 1: playing UM in different conferences in college or something like that,
Speaker 1: where you get natural rivalries from back in college or
Speaker 1: back in their youth, and you build up teams that way.
Speaker 1: I think that could be interesting. Or the other thing
Speaker 1: is like let's say there was um uh. Let's pick
Speaker 1: a team that has a lot of representatives, like the
Speaker 1: Steelers have a lot of representatives. Why don't we make
Speaker 1: the offensive players on the Steelers beyond one team, and
Speaker 1: the defensive players on the Steelers beyond the other teams,
Speaker 1: so they gotta face each other. Wouldn't it be interesting if,
Speaker 1: like the pass rusher was rushing against his quarterback or
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, we're going up against defensive lineman of the
Speaker 1: same team. What if Patrick Peterson, you know, had to
Speaker 1: cover Larry Fitzgerald. What if Xavier Rhodes had to cover
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling. I think that might be another interesting way
Speaker 1: to look at it. But here's the thing. They need
Speaker 1: to do something because moving it to Orlando does not
Speaker 1: inspire attention. Having twenty eight replacements does not inspire attention.
Speaker 1: So much. Show that people are saying they would rather
Speaker 1: watch the XFL than the NFL Pro Bowl. Check this out.
Speaker 1: We got Eric Johnson, excuse me, Clayton Trey hand saying
Speaker 1: didn't get to watch most of it, but enjoyed the
Speaker 1: Gray Cup. The CFL would enjoy that over the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: Hand Holt saying not sold on the success of the XFL,
Speaker 1: but if they involve more w W E kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: would watch it better than the Pro Bowl. I'm saying,
Speaker 1: like the XFL is winning this poll. I believe that
Speaker 1: the Grammys would beat the Pro Bowl, the Royal Rumble
Speaker 1: will beat the Pro Bowl. We'll bring in the stats
Speaker 1: over beat Cipher. When we come back after the break,
Speaker 1: my man Chris Ventra is back in the building. We're
Speaker 1: gonna catch him up on all the fund we've had
Speaker 1: in functional sports radio for the last week, including this
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl conversation. Come on back for that. It's the

Speaker 1: four on the Fantasy Sports YouTube stream. We're also doing
Speaker 1: things on Twitch, on Twitter, on Periscope, on Facebook, and
Speaker 1: I'm bringing in my boy right now, the analyst, Chris Ventra,
Speaker 1: because here's the thing. I used to love it. We
Speaker 1: used to bring in the boy. We used to do
Speaker 1: the DFS lineups and all this. The guy filled in
Speaker 1: for me, you know when I was away on vacation.
Speaker 1: But now Ventra, you're only here on Fridays. So what
Speaker 1: we gotta do is catch you up with all the
Speaker 1: fun we've had all week a Bavona. It's like I'm
Speaker 1: reminded of when you were only doing like one day
Speaker 1: a week with me flipping back and forth with Don Burns.
Speaker 1: We had to catch you up on Friday's as well.
Speaker 1: So that's what we're gonna be doing here on a
Speaker 1: Friday with the analyst Chris Ventra, Hey, Venture, how are
Speaker 1: you doing this week? How is your week? I know
Speaker 1: you missed the Fantasy Freestyle. I do, I do I
Speaker 1: miss I miss hanging out with you guys doing your show. Um,
Speaker 1: you know it's different. I wake up very early now, Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: okay doing the rot experts and stuff like that. But
Speaker 1: were they talking a lot about the Milwaukee Brewers. Well,
Speaker 1: actually that's more recent news. They weren't really talking about
Speaker 1: that earlier this week. Yeah, the Milwaukee Brewers, you know,
Speaker 1: getting Kristin Yellow signing Lorenzo Kane, looks like they may
Speaker 1: be making a run. But let me talk to you,
Speaker 1: uh a Venture about some of the things we've been
Speaker 1: doing here this week, because I would love to get
Speaker 1: your take on it. Well, you know, we already talked
Speaker 1: with the stats overbeat Side for the first thing is listen,
Speaker 1: this XFL is coming back. You know, we were talking
Speaker 1: a little bit about that a lot of people are
Speaker 1: chatting about it. Do you think the XFL is viable?
Speaker 1: Do you think this is gonna succeed this time? Do
Speaker 1: you think people are gonna actually watch it? I was
Speaker 1: wondering if this league will have enough solid offensive lineman
Speaker 1: to put a good product on the field. Are you
Speaker 1: into this new uh XFL reboot? Yeah, you're right. On
Speaker 1: YouTube they're talking about it. It's a good debate what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. They're talking about, you know what Vince is
Speaker 1: gonna do? What what type of play is they're gonna run.
Speaker 1: I heard you talking about it too on Line up Block.
Speaker 1: Like you said, the offensive line, I don't know how
Speaker 1: they're gonna come up with a good offensive lineman, and
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I mean, it failed the first time.
Speaker 1: You're gonna do something really different. Yeah. If they're saying
Speaker 1: they're gonna try and do shorter games or only two
Speaker 1: hours fast, yeah I think that. I mean, that would
Speaker 1: be helpful. But I don't know. You think we're hearing
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about maybe Johnny Manziel trying to
Speaker 1: get involved in this, but I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: eligible because I think he might have some criminal activity
Speaker 1: in his past. Do you think this would be a
Speaker 1: good look, a good branding for Johnny Football. Well, actually,
Speaker 1: the guys on our target, you know, all In kid Jakes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were talking about it, and they're saying they're a
Speaker 1: family friendly type thing. But that's what the NFL is already,
Speaker 1: which is true, um kind of you know. I think
Speaker 1: they're trying to get away from this politicized stuff. You know,
Speaker 1: so I don't know you. I don't think you know,
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick may not find his way in the XFL.
Speaker 1: But you know what Colin I think so okay because
Speaker 1: what he did wasn't legal, I understand, but they just
Speaker 1: don't want a drama around it. You know, they seem
Speaker 1: to bring viewership. How else are they going to bring viewership.
Speaker 1: I think it might be a good idea to bring
Speaker 1: controversial people onto the Tim Tebow, well, Tim t Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can bring to t Bow. I mean, anything that's
Speaker 1: gonna get you viewership and want people, make people watch
Speaker 1: and come to the games. I think they should do
Speaker 1: because listen, it's the XFL. Chances are take a chance
Speaker 1: you're gonna fail again. Yeah, no, no, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. One of the things we've
Speaker 1: been railing about this week has been I've been saying,
Speaker 1: you know, the concussion protocol is a joke, especially here
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you know, and as you know, Rob
Speaker 1: Gronkowski got his bell wrong, and I've been saying that. Listen,
Speaker 1: they're gonna you know, unaffiliated neural trauma consultants. You know,
Speaker 1: I got that in a token will get you home,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But um, listen, what do
Speaker 1: you think? You know? They the NFL came out and
Speaker 1: cleared the Panthers of any wrongdoing, cleared the Texans of
Speaker 1: any wrongdoing, and the Tom Savage remember when he was
Speaker 1: like seizing on the floor, and then they added that
Speaker 1: it was irresponsible of people like your boy speeds and
Speaker 1: spitting statistician to take any unbridge about what's going on.
Speaker 1: What do you think about this, uh, the concussion protocol
Speaker 1: and the way they're playing it here in the NFL. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's you know, it's good to
Speaker 1: have a protocol comes see a head injuries. But of
Speaker 1: course listen, but they're not following it. Bro, you know,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, the Seahawks got find a hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: with Tom Savage you know, I still believe that the
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and now we're gonna see how they do
Speaker 1: it with Rob Gronkowski with the big game of the
Speaker 1: year coming up right right right, No, I agree with
Speaker 1: you that, you know, the NFL, I feel like it
Speaker 1: does a lot of things, you know, maybe not the
Speaker 1: correct way. Like I don't even like the defensive past inference. Cool,
Speaker 1: it's another thing where the rest can control the game
Speaker 1: if it's a forty yard bomb, Brandon Cooks. You saw
Speaker 1: that Ramsey penalty was ridiculous, and to change the entire
Speaker 1: game that thirty two yard pass interference penalty that if
Speaker 1: that game is fourteen three instead of teen ten at
Speaker 1: half time, we're even less like seventeen three, which is
Speaker 1: possible as well. Absolutely, I completely agree Pat's got all
Speaker 1: the calls in that game, right, And and defensive pensty
Speaker 1: ference shouldn't be uh spot of the foul play because
Speaker 1: you can throw a fifty odd bomb, just get a
Speaker 1: piste ferarence. It's fifty penalty. It's crazy. It should be
Speaker 1: like college where it's if it's like you know, if
Speaker 1: it's a normal pist I fear it's like a fifteen
Speaker 1: yard penalty. And if it's really blatant and really flately,
Speaker 1: you know, like a flagrant foul, then it should be foul. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it should be something like that because all these rules, well,
Speaker 1: why why can't we just have listen, Why is it
Speaker 1: that fifteen yards test to be the hardest one? Right? Like,
Speaker 1: what about listen, I understand fifteen yards unnecessary roughness and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. What about if it's a like a bomb,
Speaker 1: like you're saying this past interference, you know, instead of
Speaker 1: it being a spot foul, if even if it's down
Speaker 1: the field more than fifteen fifteen yards, why don't we
Speaker 1: introduce the new twenty yard penalty or whatever the spot
Speaker 1: of the foul would be, and you divide by two
Speaker 1: or something like that, you know, give him half of that,
Speaker 1: because now you could just take shots down the field
Speaker 1: and that really changed the entire a f C Championship game.
Speaker 1: I agree with you on that. And then venture I
Speaker 1: gotta ask you about one other thing that we been
Speaker 1: doing here, putting the fun and functional sports Radio. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if you're aware, but me and our guy
Speaker 1: the Madamo, Chris Bavona, we've been having a little bit
Speaker 1: of fun this week with um rapping athletes. You're you're
Speaker 1: familiar with this. So we've had um, we had the
Speaker 1: nose tackle on the Washington football team. On we had
Speaker 1: Marvin Bagley the third he's a big time freshman at
Speaker 1: a duke basketball UM. And you know, we've had Cole Beasley,
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell. We obviously Dame Dollar and you know,
Speaker 1: obviously if you follow the stats, overbeat Cipher, our guys
Speaker 1: Kenna Cashman from Road to Where Young Cos and the
Speaker 1: trap game. My astro's the effect. And so I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you the truth because you know, I I said,
Speaker 1: I told the Cipher that I would every time we
Speaker 1: uh have a rapping athlete on the show, we try
Speaker 1: to you know, rank him, you know, or put him
Speaker 1: in the continuum. And and for us, you know, just
Speaker 1: as our frame of reference if they're doing really if
Speaker 1: you know, if we like the verses or the flow
Speaker 1: or whatever, then you know we say that's closer to
Speaker 1: the Damian Lillard side of things, right right If we
Speaker 1: don't like it, Chris, you know, we we we we
Speaker 1: call it, you know, more on the Chris venturous side,
Speaker 1: on the on the analysts side, on the Dilly Dilly freestyle,
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that because I can't. You know,
Speaker 1: the people in the stats would beat Cipher. They would
Speaker 1: getting at me because they didn't want me to like
Speaker 1: talk behind your back, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: now I you know, I have you on on Friday.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to let you know that that's how
Speaker 1: we're using you in the framing of how we evaluate
Speaker 1: all other Exactly the scales starts. The scale goes from
Speaker 1: Chris Venture to Damien. I appreciate you telling me straight up. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you to your face, you know, to your
Speaker 1: microphone or whatever it is. And honestly, I'm not delusional.
Speaker 1: The truth is I'm awful, but I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: I do though I respect your effort. Though I have
Speaker 1: a decent flow if you want me, like, you know,
Speaker 1: if I want you to what if if I ever
Speaker 1: do another and when I think I got a pretty
Speaker 1: good flow, I'm good with hearing music. The thing is
Speaker 1: the lyrics that hearing music. Have you ever seen white
Speaker 1: man can jump with? You're talking about if you can
Speaker 1: listen to Jimmy Hendricks or if you could hear Jimmie Hendricks,
Speaker 1: You're good with hearing the flow? Is this what you're
Speaker 1: saying that I could feel the rhythm. I know what's
Speaker 1: going on because you're Sicilian. No, you could spit too
Speaker 1: well's then why are you Why are you on the
Speaker 1: bottom side of the of the scale. I'm saying I
Speaker 1: could spit to the flow lyrics is my problem. But
Speaker 1: your cadence, you're you're, you're, you're a fan of that.
Speaker 1: You feel like that's strong, right, I can make that strong.
Speaker 1: I just you know, I don't know. I was freestelling
Speaker 1: on the WIM. I try to get the cipher involved.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Don't listen. We do drop stats over
Speaker 1: beat here on the Fantasy Freestyle, so I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Like you said, you are not delusional. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, I got one, um, I got one last
Speaker 1: question for you because on Monday through Thursday now we
Speaker 1: got our boy Danny Otto, who's down there in the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pit of misery on the video stream. But Ventra,
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you this because, um, you know what's
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Network on Wednesday nights at nine o'clock. Yes,
Speaker 1: I do popping off, popping off right, popping off with
Speaker 1: Danny Otto. Our homegirl Ashley A. Bray. You My question
Speaker 1: for you, why are you not on popping off? I
Speaker 1: don't know, see, like I'm a nerd. I'm a little nerdy.
Speaker 1: I play video game. Yeah yeah, I know. We talked
Speaker 1: about it in the Fantasy Pit of Miseries. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: are very protective over Pokemon. I was very protective what
Speaker 1: I said. But anyway, um, yeah, I'm a little bit
Speaker 1: of a nerd like that, But I'm not popping off
Speaker 1: because that sounds like that's what they do. I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm not nerves. I don't know if I'm not
Speaker 1: that level of nerds. You think that Ashley A. Bray
Speaker 1: you and U Danny Otto are more nerdy than you. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying that. That's what you just said.
Speaker 1: You just said you're a little nerdy, but you're not
Speaker 1: on that level of nerd over here, Like I'm smelling
Speaker 1: a little bit of beef. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: could talk about the Jurassic Park figurines and all that
Speaker 1: stuff when I was younger, maybe but more I don't
Speaker 1: know if you saw, but that's what it was about.
Speaker 1: So you draw the line at Pokemon, right right? I
Speaker 1: drew the line. I see Okay, that's another part of
Speaker 1: the scale. Absolutely, but you won't go into jaazzic. I
Speaker 1: think I heard they talked a little bit about Black
Speaker 1: Mirror as well. I played that game. Actually, no, that's
Speaker 1: a show, bro. Oh but there's both a game in
Speaker 1: the show. I also watched all those episodes. Yes, that
Speaker 1: could be on that. Maybe I'll get the appearance on that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think you yet, I think you should.
Speaker 1: The last thing I want to ask you, bro, what
Speaker 1: are you gonna be watching this Sunday? Are you gonna
Speaker 1: watch this whole Pro Bowl? Do you care about this
Speaker 1: at all? I mean, I'm gonna take a ganda, Okay,
Speaker 1: are you gonna watch the you know, like the Grammys
Speaker 1: of the Royal Rumbo something like that. I'm not watching
Speaker 1: Royal Ramba my Chicken on that, um, But maybe, honestly,
Speaker 1: maybe the Probowl over all those things, to be honest,
Speaker 1: fair enough, it's our strong Style and the statue wul
Speaker 1: beat cipher because Yo shout out to strong Style. I'm
Speaker 1: picking shouldn't gay Nakamura to win the Royal Rambow and
Speaker 1: go against a j Styles at WrestleMania. But when we
Speaker 1: come back is what we're gonna do. Thanks for spending
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes with us. All right, Venture, I'm
Speaker 1: glad to catch you up. And by the way, oh,
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you the one last thing. I want
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on. We have controversy and speeds
Speaker 1: versus the kids Ventra because we had a kid that
Speaker 1: came in and went two and oh championship Sunday. But
Speaker 1: I don't know if only two and oh should get
Speaker 1: it done because our winning percentage is better when we
Speaker 1: come back after the break. I want to get your
Speaker 1: thoughts on that. I'm gonna go tie a nice neat
Speaker 1: little bow up on this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: gets you going into the weekends being spitting statistician. You
Speaker 1: know what it is, fantasy pre styled. The entire board
Speaker 1: of USA Gymnastics is being forced to resign or have
Speaker 1: them be decertified. And I think these are appropriate steps
Speaker 1: after what Larry Nasser did institutionally with kind of protection.
Speaker 1: It looks like from a couple of organizations for a
Speaker 1: while with children. We say from seven to eight p m. E.
Speaker 1: Stern on the Phantasy Sports Radio Network, little Beanie SEAgel,
Speaker 1: as we come back here dropping stats over beats on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle. I'm about to get out of here
Speaker 1: for a weekend, but before I do, let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. We got to the Pro Bowl and the
Speaker 1: skills competition and all of this stuff this weekend. But
Speaker 1: when we come back next week, oh boy, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be talking about the Super Bowl, super Bowl fifty two,
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, and the Philadelphia Eagles. As you know,
Speaker 1: your boys, Speeds has been on the Philadelphia Eagles all
Speaker 1: season long. At the beginning of the season when I
Speaker 1: did my preview shows, I was telling you about the Eagles,
Speaker 1: and what do you know, they are now in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Remember after the Super Bowl, I'm gonna start
Speaker 1: giving you my team by team previews of Major League Baseball,
Speaker 1: right and the last year and that I gave you
Speaker 1: the Houston Astros. Then in football this year, I give
Speaker 1: you the Philadelphia Eagles. I wonder who I will give
Speaker 1: you in my baseball previews that will wind up competing
Speaker 1: for their championship. But we're gonna be doing everything from
Speaker 1: the prop bets to you know, maybe I'll rank the
Speaker 1: skilled players, will do a DFS lineup, and the other
Speaker 1: thing we're gonna do is Speeds versus the kids. We
Speaker 1: gotta finish off speeds versus the kids. Speeds boy is
Speaker 1: six and three so far uh chriss Ventra is also
Speaker 1: six and three, so a venture is there. I want
Speaker 1: to bring him back because I haven't had an opportunity
Speaker 1: to ask him about how do we play this because
Speaker 1: we have some new kids that are in there. Okay,
Speaker 1: so a lot of the kids went three and one
Speaker 1: in division weekend. Some didn't pick, so they're still at
Speaker 1: three and one. Our homegol Michaela is now four and two.
Speaker 1: Four and two is pretty good, but six and three
Speaker 1: is the same percentage and more wins, right, so I
Speaker 1: got like, I like us against even Michaela who is
Speaker 1: six years old. However, there is a new kid who
Speaker 1: picked in Divisional week championship Sunday. His name is Sammy
Speaker 1: and he went Eagles and Pats. So Ventra, I ask you,
Speaker 1: We got Sammy who was two and oh, and then
Speaker 1: you have us who are both six and three. Michaela
Speaker 1: is four and two at the same winning percentage, and
Speaker 1: then you got Goose and Tito at three and one,
Speaker 1: who is currently winning speeds versus the kids. You think
Speaker 1: it's us at six and three, or do you think
Speaker 1: it's Sammy at two and oh? Well, obviously anyone who
Speaker 1: has you know, the same winning percentage and played less games,
Speaker 1: we should be ahead of Okay, so we're ahead then
Speaker 1: in your opinion, we're ahead of MICHAELA at four and two?
Speaker 1: What about Goose and Tito at three and one? Higher
Speaker 1: winning percentage but less games picked. We've picked nine games,
Speaker 1: they've only picked four. And then Sammy who's you know,
Speaker 1: undefeated but only two and oh? Right, well, the three
Speaker 1: and one, I would say it's a little bendest because
Speaker 1: they only picked four games. Yeah, but there in accuracy, right,
Speaker 1: we're not too far off. We picked five more games.
Speaker 1: That's a big difference. Okay, okay, so we slightly ahead
Speaker 1: of them. So so you think we're ahead of them.
Speaker 1: What about Sammy who's two and oh? Two and oh
Speaker 1: is interesting? It's only two games, I know, but he's
Speaker 1: got a zero. He hasn't gotten anything wrong yet. If
Speaker 1: you're riding with Sammy's picks, you haven't lost. Sun defeated.
Speaker 1: He defeated. So how we do that is we do
Speaker 1: it like this. So going into the championship the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: whoever wins that, whoever it gets that right, ends up
Speaker 1: beating in first place. If he wins, he's three and oh.
Speaker 1: So you say, all right, so let's say let's say you,
Speaker 1: me and Sammy all picked the same team and its
Speaker 1: team that wins, and that makes us seven and three.
Speaker 1: But he goes to three and oh, you give it
Speaker 1: to Sammy at three and oh over us at seven
Speaker 1: and three. I mean, I guess you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: because you know what, we would have been one and
Speaker 1: one if we picked the championship games. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: I know that's what I'm saying. So we'll find out.
Speaker 1: We'll find out. I think it's a good question. And
Speaker 1: do me a favorite holler at the stats overbeat Cipher
Speaker 1: and all your people, and I think, because that's what
Speaker 1: we gotta do. We gotta find out if we really
Speaker 1: did in fact beat. The kids will be making our
Speaker 1: official picks, We'll be telling you prop bets, and we'll
Speaker 1: have everything. We will have you covered like white on
Speaker 1: rice when it comes to Super Bowl coverage next week
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Freestyle, Great week. I hope everybody
Speaker 1: has a good week in my DFS lineup doing pretty
Speaker 1: good so far. I told you about Michael kiddog Gil Chris.
Speaker 1: He already has ten points, three rebounds, and assistant is
Speaker 1: Steel in the second quarter for Charlotte. I like that,
Speaker 1: and uh, it looks like people do not want to
Speaker 1: watch the Pro Bowl. I'll probably check it out for
Speaker 1: a little bit, just so I could break it down
Speaker 1: for the stats over beat Cipher right here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle from my Man Chris Venture, the analysts from
Speaker 1: My Boy the Manamal Chris Bovona, and everybody down there
Speaker 1: in the fantasy pit of misery. It is your boy,
