Speaker 1: could also chime in on a pole we got. You know,
Speaker 1: we've been talking about Matt Harvey over the last couple
Speaker 1: of days. There was that suspension than why he got suspended, Well,
Speaker 1: today he kind of faced the music and suspension is over.
Speaker 1: He had some words. We're gonna play that a little
Speaker 1: bit later on when we get into our starting lineup.
Speaker 1: But I want to find out what do you guys
Speaker 1: think the Mets need to do with them? Should they
Speaker 1: just like sweep it under the rug and just like
Speaker 1: kind of move on, or is this the straw that
Speaker 1: broke the camel's back. Must there be a little bit more?
Speaker 1: Should they try and send them down? Because I'm telling
Speaker 1: you when you hear his audio today, I think there's
Speaker 1: some things going on with Matt Harvey. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: Maybe he's just like older than he used to be
Speaker 1: in camp mess around in New York anymore? Or do
Speaker 1: they need to cut their losses? I mean, the man's
Speaker 1: e r A has been going up is now over five,
Speaker 1: was over four last year. This is not the same picture.
Speaker 1: His velocity is down as well. Should they try to
Speaker 1: trade him for whatever they can get? That is another
Speaker 1: question we have up on the f n T s
Speaker 1: Y Radio Twitter handle. We also listen. If you listen
Speaker 1: to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know that we've been talking
Speaker 1: about the pain management and the tour doll and all
Speaker 1: of the implications in the NFL. Tomorrow, Smith, the head
Speaker 1: of the NFL p A, is starting to bring that
Speaker 1: conversation in a very formal way. We're gonna check in
Speaker 1: on that. I got my boy Donnie Burns with me
Speaker 1: on the ones into so hot that we sweat steam.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk NBA playoffs as usual. Is it just
Speaker 1: a fate to complete this trilogy? Come all right back,
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm your boy, Dane Martinez Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: Come on back. This isn't what you know what it is?
Speaker 1: It should boy Dane Martinez a k A. To spitting statistician.
Speaker 1: You're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the
Speaker 1: award winning Fantasies Sports Radio Network. I got my boy
Speaker 1: don Burns with me on the ones and tools so
Speaker 1: hot that we sweat steam. Let's get right into it.
Speaker 1: Let's get into this starting lineup. Okay, News and notes
Speaker 1: from around Major League Baseball real quick. The Tigers have
Speaker 1: made a change at closer. Go out right now if
Speaker 1: you can and grab Justin Wilson. He is replacing Frankie
Speaker 1: Rodriguez k Rod as the closer in Detroit. I told
Speaker 1: you about this a little while ago. K Rod had
Speaker 1: been good, you know, the years and years leading up
Speaker 1: to this, but falling off a cliff right now. Justin
Speaker 1: Wilson closing for the Tigers. Moving forward. Uh j D.
Speaker 1: Martinez speaking of the Tigers, looks like he is on
Speaker 1: track to return and play his first games of the
Speaker 1: season this weekend. He is playing right field in his
Speaker 1: rehab starts with no issue. They're probably gonna bring him
Speaker 1: back up at the end of the week. Remember he
Speaker 1: was dealing with that Liz Frank injury. Aelton Simmons got
Speaker 1: hit by a pitch on the right thumb last night.
Speaker 1: X grades have come back clean. He should be good
Speaker 1: to go, maybe miss just a day or two. However,
Speaker 1: Jason hey World has been placed on the disabled list
Speaker 1: retroactive to May six because of a finger issue on
Speaker 1: his right hand, and similarly, the Angels are now starting
Speaker 1: to talk about the ten day d L for best
Speaker 1: Player in the Game Mike Trout. This will be. It
Speaker 1: looks like he's missing it again. This will be his
Speaker 1: fourth game missing. Uh. You know we've talked about this
Speaker 1: with the ten d d L managers can kind of
Speaker 1: game the system and almost save players for themselves. I
Speaker 1: would not be surprised if this goes one way or
Speaker 1: the other. The fork in the road happens. Now that
Speaker 1: are you gonna either gonna put Trout on the d
Speaker 1: L or you will see him back in the lineup,
Speaker 1: you know, within the next couple of days. Let's keep
Speaker 1: it moving into what I talked about yesterday. I gave
Speaker 1: you some starting pitchers. Yesterday I said I think you
Speaker 1: could beat Jacob deGrom and I gave you two starters
Speaker 1: that I think could do it for far less money
Speaker 1: on FanDuel. The first guy I gave you was Kendall Graveman.
Speaker 1: He was only seventy four hundred, and I said that
Speaker 1: he had the potential against that Trout less lineup in
Speaker 1: that big ballpark. What did he do? Seven innings pitched,
Speaker 1: only gave up to earned runs and struck out six.
Speaker 1: Got you a quality start. They didn't get the win
Speaker 1: because that game went eleven innings, But nice little action
Speaker 1: for you if you did listen to your boy, Speeds,
Speaker 1: the spitting statistician who went Kendall Graveman, or you could
Speaker 1: have gone Trevor k Hill, which was the other guy
Speaker 1: gave you against Texas. I told you that lineup was
Speaker 1: not killing it right now. He did not go enough
Speaker 1: to get a quality start, but it was five and
Speaker 1: a third scoreless innings. He also struck out seven and
Speaker 1: got the win as the Padres beat the Rangers five
Speaker 1: to one. Both of those guys could have helped you
Speaker 1: cash last night. So you may ask yourself, all right, Speeds,
Speaker 1: who's gonna help me cash tonight? Listen? I am mad
Speaker 1: at you if you go with the chalk, if you
Speaker 1: go with the most expensive guys, that be Max Scherzer
Speaker 1: at eleven thousand, six hundred against Baltimore on fan duel,
Speaker 1: or even Carlos Carrasco at ten thousand, three hundred against
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, I am mad at you. But I
Speaker 1: got a guy. I got two guys that for three
Speaker 1: four thousand dollars less. I think you're gonna have good
Speaker 1: starts and get vic threes for you. This is how
Speaker 1: you win that cash. Okay, the first one I like
Speaker 1: Matt andreies today against Kansas City. He's on seventy four
Speaker 1: hundred is his price on fan duel. I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you something, This Kansas City offense is straight blunt, guts trash. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is the worst offense in the American League. The
Speaker 1: Royals have scored eighty nine runs to date. The second
Speaker 1: worst offense in the American League is the White Sox.
Speaker 1: They scored a hundred and twenty one thirty two more runs.
Speaker 1: That is how putrid this Royals offense has been. I
Speaker 1: am fading them. It's almost like in a survivor pool
Speaker 1: in the NFL when you just pick him, like whoever
Speaker 1: is playing the Cleveland Browns. I think it is coming
Speaker 1: to that point with the Kansas City Royals offense. I
Speaker 1: like Matt Andres seventy four hundred in Tampa Bay and
Speaker 1: he's been hot. He did strike out eight guys in
Speaker 1: his last start against the Marlins. If you don't look
Speaker 1: like that, here's the other one for you, also at
Speaker 1: seventy four hundred on fan duel. Remember when I just
Speaker 1: said that the second worst offense in the a L
Speaker 1: was the Cargo White Sox. Well, I'm fading them as well.
Speaker 1: You can get Hector Santiago for I rather andrees. But again,
Speaker 1: this guy going against the second worst offense in the
Speaker 1: American League, and he's also pitching against Mike Pelfrey. Mike
Speaker 1: Pelfrey who was oh and two and has the five
Speaker 1: plus e r A. Those are some guys to win
Speaker 1: that cast. But I want to keep it moving and
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about this Matt Harvey situation. Okay,
Speaker 1: we've been, you know, wondering why he was suspended it.
Speaker 1: You know, the news has trickled out. He was out partying. Basically,
Speaker 1: he played golf and then he was you know, basically
Speaker 1: too hungover or messed up to be able to report
Speaker 1: for duty. Even though it was an off it was
Speaker 1: not a starting day for Harvey on Saturday. He returned
Speaker 1: today and face the media. I want to hear what
Speaker 1: he has to say, and then let's react to it.
Speaker 1: I got a couple of points to make about what
Speaker 1: Matt Harvey had to say today. Let's let's hear what
Speaker 1: he had to say. No one, thank you everyone. Matt
Speaker 1: will have an opening statement and take a few questions. UM.
Speaker 1: First off, as I as I just did UM with
Speaker 1: my teammates and and all of the coaches. UM, I
Speaker 1: apologized for for my actions, and I do apologize for
Speaker 1: my actions. UM, obviously I'm extremely embarrassed by my actions. UM.
Speaker 1: I apologize to my teammates too, the Mets organization, to
Speaker 1: the Wilpons, to you know, all the way down to
Speaker 1: the Mets fans for doing what I did. And UM, yes,
Speaker 1: I was out on Friday night past curfew. I did
Speaker 1: play golf m Saturday morning, and I put myself in
Speaker 1: a bad place to be ready for showing up for
Speaker 1: a ball for a ball game. That is my responsibility.
Speaker 1: I take full blame for that, and I've apologized to
Speaker 1: my teammates. I've apologize as the coaches, and I'm doing
Speaker 1: everything in my power so that that never happens again.
Speaker 1: And UM, like I've said, I'm extremely embarrassed for my actions,
Speaker 1: and UM, I'm working forward to getting things back on
Speaker 1: track and doing everything akin to help this team win
Speaker 1: and help this organization moving forward. And and they all
Speaker 1: have my word on that one. All right. So that's
Speaker 1: what Matt Harvey had to say, and listen. First of all,
Speaker 1: I want to give him a little bit of credit
Speaker 1: because if you see the video of this, this was
Speaker 1: not him reading remarks from prepared cards or anything like that.
Speaker 1: It was kind of a I guess, a heartfelt kind
Speaker 1: of apology. But here's the thing, this is gonna be
Speaker 1: the last stop for Matt Harvey and the Mets. You know,
Speaker 1: this has been going on for a while, and I
Speaker 1: think this is just the straw that breaks the camels
Speaker 1: back in terms of Matt Harvey hating the Mets, and
Speaker 1: the Mets hating Matt Harvey. Okay, I have been saying
Speaker 1: this for a while. And I also think you can
Speaker 1: tell in this tone when people when players were coming
Speaker 1: out of the locker room after Matt Harvey apparently spoke
Speaker 1: for about ten or fifteen minutes apologizing to him, I
Speaker 1: think there's something a little bit deeper here. Matt Harvey
Speaker 1: hit the town. You know, about five years ago. It
Speaker 1: was an absolute beast. Was supposed to be the new
Speaker 1: truth Stud, the guy, the dark Knight, who was going
Speaker 1: to lead this team to the Promised Land. He was
Speaker 1: the stud. He was the ace, He had the model girlfriends,
Speaker 1: he was at the front row of Nick's games. He
Speaker 1: was you know, he was trying to become the next
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter. In more ways than one, My how the
Speaker 1: mighty have fallen? Okay, now all of a sudden, you're
Speaker 1: maybe the third best starter in that rotation. Now you're
Speaker 1: not hot to trot, You're not on the jumbo tron
Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden with the model on your arm.
Speaker 1: And I think that it all came crashing down for
Speaker 1: him and he doesn't know necessary early how to deal
Speaker 1: with it. When I put up that poll question, I
Speaker 1: asked you they just leave it alone and move on,
Speaker 1: which maybe what you think, but I offered to other alternatives,
Speaker 1: want to send them to Triple A. Maybe he just
Speaker 1: needs to be outside of the spotlight for a little
Speaker 1: while and maybe remember why the hell he loves baseball
Speaker 1: in the first place, because it's about the performance on
Speaker 1: the field, not all the other stuff, the bright lights
Speaker 1: in the big city. Or maybe the Mets need to
Speaker 1: cut their losses and trade him now. The Mets are
Speaker 1: not going to be contenders right now as we have seen,
Speaker 1: the Mets are most likely going to be sellers. And
Speaker 1: we know also I've said it here, I'll say it again,
Speaker 1: Matt Harvey is not going to resign with the Mets
Speaker 1: when his contract is up, so mine as well get
Speaker 1: something now. If you can, Okay, I'm telling you the
Speaker 1: Mets are not contending. This has unrattled very quickly with
Speaker 1: Syndergard with cesspitics, with all the kind of just dark
Speaker 1: louds that are there. So if you ask me, I
Speaker 1: am in the thirty five percent of the voters right
Speaker 1: now who say try to trade him. I think that's
Speaker 1: what you can do. If you can get him to
Speaker 1: another another team with a fresh start. He still has
Speaker 1: the stuff to be a relied upon starter. He could
Speaker 1: still be the dark night again, and maybe they'll shine
Speaker 1: the light up when it's his starts, like the Batman signal.
Speaker 1: I just don't think it is going to happen anymore
Speaker 1: in Flushing, Queens. If you want to holler at me
Speaker 1: about this, you candidate four four eight four three six
Speaker 1: seven nine, or you can vote on the poll. Eleven
Speaker 1: percent say send them this triple A. Now say try
Speaker 1: to trade them. Many of you say just move on.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna work anymore. Come all right back,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it some more. Dame Martinez Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle that se boy Dade Martinez holding you down,
Speaker 1: and my man Donnie Burns on the ones and twos
Speaker 1: you're listening live here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Big shout out to our sports Byline affiliates. You know
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shout out West Virginia today, having shouted out
Speaker 1: West Virginia in a while, Donnie Burns, so big shout
Speaker 1: out to Vienna fourteen fifty A M W L T
Speaker 1: P and in Martinsburg thirteen forty AM W E P
Speaker 1: M and Donnie Burns as the love Doctor. You're gonna
Speaker 1: like this one. Big shout out to six twenty am
Speaker 1: in Beaver, West Virginia. UM, let's keep it moving though
Speaker 1: here as we get into the cipher on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle News and Notes from the NFL, Spencerware is still
Speaker 1: apparently the quote unquote lead back in Kansas City. Even
Speaker 1: though the Chiefs spent their third round pick to draft
Speaker 1: rookie running back Kareem Hunt, don't be surprised if Kareem
Speaker 1: Hunt is one of those running backs that start to
Speaker 1: steal touches in the second half of the season. I
Speaker 1: made that point with a lot of running backs last
Speaker 1: year at after the bye in the second half of
Speaker 1: the season, whether it was guys like Kenneth Dixon or
Speaker 1: others that you're gonna start to see that. Uh. Kareem
Speaker 1: Hunt could be an example of that in Kansas City. However,
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, the drafted running back in Cincinnati who had
Speaker 1: a lot of uh, you know, questionable pass and domestic
Speaker 1: violence in his past, they are saying he's going to
Speaker 1: get heavy usage. If you look at this running back
Speaker 1: room in Cincinnati, Giovanni Bernard is questionable to be ready
Speaker 1: with a knee injury for the start of the season,
Speaker 1: and Jeremy Hill has just not been good. So Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon could be primed to get some some usage early
Speaker 1: on in his first season as a Bengal. The Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bills have announced that Brandon Bean will be their new
Speaker 1: general manager. He replaces Doug's Whaley. Brandon Bean was the
Speaker 1: assistant GM of the Carolina Panthers in Philadelphia. Reports indicate
Speaker 1: now that Dorio Green Beckham maybe a long shot to
Speaker 1: even make the Philadelphia Eagles roster. Remember, they sounded al
Speaker 1: Shan Jeffrey and Torry Smith in the off season. They
Speaker 1: also have Jordan Matthews now Sinagalore and have drafted two
Speaker 1: rookies this year, so it could be a a tight
Speaker 1: a tight fit for d g B. Also, a news
Speaker 1: that you may have already heard, the State of Massachusetts
Speaker 1: has vacated the Aaron Hernandez murder conviction. That's a procedural
Speaker 1: thing that they do if um, if the person who
Speaker 1: was appealing actually dies before the appeal has been heard.
Speaker 1: Let's keep it moving though. In the cipher, I am
Speaker 1: excited to have my boy Donnie Burns, the love Doctor
Speaker 1: and my NBA correspondent. We've been touching in with him,
Speaker 1: you know, throughout the playoffs and you know, just another
Speaker 1: who Hume win Donnie for the Golden State Warriors. They
Speaker 1: win one one to ninety five and end the season
Speaker 1: of the Utah Jazz. Last night, Steph Curry nine for fifteen,
Speaker 1: goes for thirty points, Draymond Green with a triple double,
Speaker 1: seventeen points, ten rebounds, and eleven assists. Here's what I
Speaker 1: want to ask you about this one, because you know
Speaker 1: we've been talking about how you know, the Calves have swept,
Speaker 1: now the Warriors have apt. What I found interesting I
Speaker 1: was watching the end of that game, Donnie, and they
Speaker 1: the Utah fans were they were happy. They were happy.
Speaker 1: They were they were happy, they were they were happy
Speaker 1: about what their team had done. And you know that's
Speaker 1: so rare in sports these days. And then when I
Speaker 1: step back and look at it, the question is like,
Speaker 1: should they be happy? I mean, nobody probably picked them
Speaker 1: to be in the second round of the Western Conference
Speaker 1: this year. You may consider them a team on the rise. However,
Speaker 1: what are the other things that the fans did? Was start,
Speaker 1: with about three minutes left to go, start chanting the
Speaker 1: name of one Gordon Hayward. So, Donnie, I got two
Speaker 1: questions for you. One, should the Utah Jazz fans be
Speaker 1: happy in the short term about what they did this season?
Speaker 1: And what does that mean long term? Especially because, as
Speaker 1: you know, species fitting statistician has called his shot and
Speaker 1: says that Gordon Hayward will be wind up where and
Speaker 1: Kelly Green for his college coach, Brad Stevens going to
Speaker 1: the Celtics this offseason. What do you think about what
Speaker 1: the Houston the Utah fans were doing in the in
Speaker 1: the last time they were in that arena this season? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'm actually really about what they did. I think
Speaker 1: they should be happy. They have a really, really young
Speaker 1: core even if Gordon Hayward decides to leave. And I
Speaker 1: thought it was kind of a good gesture to kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, send him off in a sense if he
Speaker 1: decides to go with that, you know that big thank you.
Speaker 1: That was what that chance essentially was. And I'm kind
Speaker 1: of upset how this kind of ended because I really
Speaker 1: didn't think that the Warrior I thought they would win.
Speaker 1: I didn't think they would sweep a Quinn Snyder coach team.
Speaker 1: I think he is, you know, in the running for
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year every single year, and you know,
Speaker 1: I thought he would have at least stolen game, yeah,
Speaker 1: because he's a great coach and they were, if not
Speaker 1: the best defensive team in the NBA, one of the best.
Speaker 1: So I like where they're at. Their very young uh
Speaker 1: Derek Favorites is playing out of control. He played real
Speaker 1: well in the former top three picks. So I like
Speaker 1: where they're at, even even if they lose Hayward in
Speaker 1: the offseason. I do. And I think the Jazz fans
Speaker 1: kind of made it a point that hey, you know,
Speaker 1: you should stick with us a little longer. We got you.
Speaker 1: I think you should stay. Well, we'll see. I know
Speaker 1: this summer I know this summer, you know, Paul, George Gordon,
Speaker 1: and Hayward now apparently Kyle Lowry are all gonna be
Speaker 1: huge names. To see how the lands, the landscape shifts.
Speaker 1: I know one other thing, Donnie, this summer we're gonna
Speaker 1: be watching Big Three batsketball. A little bit more on
Speaker 1: that to come maybe later on in the show. We
Speaker 1: have some more sounds from ice Cube and our boy
Speaker 1: Michael Rappaport. But you know what else is happening in
Speaker 1: the NBA this summer or in basketball this summer um,
Speaker 1: The NBA is going to Israel. They have a program
Speaker 1: called Basketball Without Borders, okay, and they have been basically
Speaker 1: doing high level competition camps around the globe since two
Speaker 1: thousand and one. And these camps not only are to
Speaker 1: you know, kind of our scouting, you know, to uh
Speaker 1: up and coming talent in these areas, but they're also
Speaker 1: out there promoting tolerance and health. This has been going
Speaker 1: on over fifteen years and what everyone can understand, intense
Speaker 1: political times in Israel. The NBA will be going there
Speaker 1: this summer the campus August thirteen to the sixteenth. They're
Speaker 1: also going to be doing community service out there. David
Speaker 1: Robinson as the lead instructor, and this camp over the
Speaker 1: last sixteen years has produced twenty three NBA players, including
Speaker 1: Danilo Gallinari and Mark Gasol. So, you know, I've we've
Speaker 1: been talking on this show about what's gonna happen after
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, and we've been talking about Big Three.
Speaker 1: We've been talking about other things. I know, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: that's the time maybe when the boys of Summer in
Speaker 1: baseball dominate. But uh, I just wanted to put it
Speaker 1: out there that the NBA continues to go out there
Speaker 1: and do some good work trying to grow the game
Speaker 1: around the globe. One other thing I want to talk
Speaker 1: about here on the Fantasy Freestyle in our cipher, if
Speaker 1: you realize here on Fantasy Freestyle, we've been talking about
Speaker 1: the tour at all. We've been talking about marijuana as
Speaker 1: it relates to the NFL and how I have been
Speaker 1: saying for a while on this platform that the NFL
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to become a leader in this space.
Speaker 1: We've talked about guys like Jake Plummer, We've talked about
Speaker 1: guys like Kyle Torrey. Very interesting pieces on Kyle Turley
Speaker 1: on Vice Sports. Right now I'm gonna be talking a
Speaker 1: little bit about that later on in the week. But
Speaker 1: interestingly enough, Demorris Smith, the head of the nfl PA,
Speaker 1: has come out and has said in a recent interview
Speaker 1: with Outside the Lines on ESPN that he is actually
Speaker 1: looking into this and thinking about how to formally raise this, uh,
Speaker 1: this issue with the owners. We have some Tomorris Smith,
Speaker 1: sound right, Donnie Burns, are we ready for that? Let's
Speaker 1: do that. Let's play that. Demorris Smith talking about maybe
Speaker 1: next steps on marijuana formally on the table. We intend
Speaker 1: to present a proposal to the league that has probably
Speaker 1: more of a therapeutic approach, uh to those who test
Speaker 1: positive for marijuana. The idea is simply to make sure
Speaker 1: that we understand, um, whether a player is suffering from
Speaker 1: something other than just um um, a desire to smoke marijuana.
Speaker 1: I think all of us would want to have a
Speaker 1: process where if there was truly a problem, we're treating
Speaker 1: the problem instead of just treating a symptom. Okay, So
Speaker 1: you know, contrast that with like I said, remember a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago when Roger Goodell was just on
Speaker 1: something like, hey, it's not good to inhale the smoke
Speaker 1: here and it's kind of nineteen fifties view on this.
Speaker 1: So I like that Tomorris Smith is getting ahead of
Speaker 1: this talking about the therapeutic uses of marijuana. You know,
Speaker 1: think about there's so much news out there about how
Speaker 1: the NFL kind of is leaned on the opioids and
Speaker 1: toward all and Fenton al and other drugs, and how
Speaker 1: and how damaging that has been. Too many athletes, um
Speaker 1: that are in essence in these car crashes that we
Speaker 1: call football games once a week. And so I think
Speaker 1: it's very interesting that, you know, the head of the
Speaker 1: players union is actually you know, bringing this up in
Speaker 1: a formal way. You know, there was a recent Washington
Speaker 1: University study also they studied six hundred and forty four
Speaker 1: retired NFL players admit to still using prescription pain killers,
Speaker 1: seventy one admit that they misused or abused pain killers,
Speaker 1: and other studies report that abuse among NFL players of
Speaker 1: pain killers is four times that of the general population.
Speaker 1: I think it's very important and it's time for us
Speaker 1: to get this into the conversation, and formally it looks
Speaker 1: like it is finally happening. Um. So I think that's
Speaker 1: very interesting if you want to holler at me about
Speaker 1: this or any of those topics related to the cipher.
Speaker 1: Holler me at AD four four eight, four, three six,
Speaker 1: eight seven nine, And we're here to help you win

Speaker 1: Blue Jays. The Yankees just don't stop. They are up
Speaker 1: to nothing in Cincinnati on the Reds and the Mets,
Speaker 1: looking to bounce back with all the drama that has
Speaker 1: been surrounding their teammates over the last couple of days,
Speaker 1: they put up a four spot in Europe for nothing
Speaker 1: on the San Francisco Giants. When we come back, we
Speaker 1: put the fun in functional sports Radio. Me and Donnie
Speaker 1: Burns find out which of a few athlete arrests are
Speaker 1: actually the stupidest. Come on back for that good time

Speaker 1: I told you I liked Matt Andrews today with the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays. I told you because I like going
Speaker 1: up against that Kansas City Royals offense. Right now after
Speaker 1: the first inning. My boy Matt Andrews has a four
Speaker 1: nothing lead. He's looking good to get a win in
Speaker 1: that one. That's the way I hold you down. And
Speaker 1: when it comes to basketball, we talk about my man
Speaker 1: Don Burns. He is the basketball correspondent for the Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: and we got a big game five that I want
Speaker 1: to get at you real quick, Donnie Burns, about Spurs
Speaker 1: at home taking on the Rockets in the Battle of Texas.
Speaker 1: Here game five in that series where you have officially
Speaker 1: flip flopped. So I just wanted to make sure I
Speaker 1: get you on record because I think this is the
Speaker 1: night it goes down. I think this is the night
Speaker 1: where the Houston Rockets get that all important road victory
Speaker 1: in this series. I think they make twenty one three
Speaker 1: pointers tonight and that will be enough to put them
Speaker 1: in the one twenties. I don't think San Antonio can
Speaker 1: keep up with them. I think they have nothing but
Speaker 1: Kauai Leonard. I think uh A Dredge continues to defecate
Speaker 1: the mattress, he will not score twenty. I think this
Speaker 1: is where Houston takes the three to lead and then
Speaker 1: they go back home and win it. In Game six.
Speaker 1: I'm on the record. I need to hear you on
Speaker 1: the record, Donnie Burns. Yeah, well, I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: stay with my you know, my original pick. But here's
Speaker 1: the thing, No, you have you don't have an original pick.
Speaker 1: You flip flop back and forth. Bro. No, I know
Speaker 1: I picked the Rockets originally, but when asked like how
Speaker 1: the series is going, I have to answer from an
Speaker 1: analysis standpoint, like I'm not gonna change my pick. I said,
Speaker 1: Rockets if the Rockets happen to not win. But I'm
Speaker 1: just analyzing how I see it each game, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like at this point, like I've said
Speaker 1: many times, it's it's reliant on the Rockets hitting those
Speaker 1: twenty three pointers. But and the same breath, it's also
Speaker 1: home court advantage, and I'm gonna stay with my pick.
Speaker 1: But like I said, it's just analyzing what I'm seeing
Speaker 1: at this point. I thought at one point when we
Speaker 1: had it, like will it be seven games or less?
Speaker 1: You went over and said you voted Spurs and seven No,
Speaker 1: so I m seven. Okay, So you first thought the
Speaker 1: Rockets were gonna win the series. Then you have the
Speaker 1: Spurs in seven, so you're sticking with Spurs in seven. Correct, Okay,
Speaker 1: we now have the official I mean, you know, it's
Speaker 1: hard to nail Donnie Burns down. That's why they call
Speaker 1: him the love doctor um don Burns officially says Spurs.
Speaker 1: And I think this is where it flips. I think
Speaker 1: the Rockets get that road win and ultimately win it
Speaker 1: when this series and move on to see the Golden State.
Speaker 1: But how do you think if they move on, how
Speaker 1: do you see them faring? What's the main key to
Speaker 1: them beating the Warriors outscore them? They have to do
Speaker 1: the same thing. The Rockets have to do the same thing.
Speaker 1: They are the only team who could continue to play
Speaker 1: their game. Yes, I think they're more. Yes, I I
Speaker 1: think the Rockets. I don't think they're gonna win the series,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it'll be a sweep either. And
Speaker 1: in the games that the rock in the game or
Speaker 1: two that the Rockets do win, it'll be Houston one
Speaker 1: Golden State on Houston one thirty three Golden State. I
Speaker 1: think that's the only chan as they have. But that
Speaker 1: is their approach, and they know if they play their approach,
Speaker 1: you know, if they bring their a game. That said,
Speaker 1: I think it would be enough to even outscore the Warriors.
Speaker 1: I don't think, however, they have a chance of doing
Speaker 1: that four out of seven times. Now, I do have
Speaker 1: a question for you, because this happens to be part
Speaker 1: of our polls mostly almost every day up until the finals.
Speaker 1: If the Calves see the Warriors in the finals, and
Speaker 1: the Calves are able to defeat the Warriors in the
Speaker 1: finals with the Kevin Durant on their team, is Lebron
Speaker 1: James in the conversation for best player? Ever? I think
Speaker 1: you're I think he's already in the consta Ever, I
Speaker 1: think he's in the conversation already. If he does this again,
Speaker 1: with this, like with this you know, kind of ridiculous
Speaker 1: Warriors team that has been like forming like vultron for
Speaker 1: the express purpose of taking him down, and he does
Speaker 1: it again, I mean, you know maybe, I mean i'd
Speaker 1: have to. He he's definitely in the conversation. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'd have to. I'd have to. Uh, you know, let's
Speaker 1: cross that bridge. What we get to it though? But
Speaker 1: talking about basketball. But we can't talk basketball these days
Speaker 1: without talking about the Ball family. And uh that's right.
Speaker 1: And you know, listen, the big ball of brand. They
Speaker 1: put out those shoes. Donnie Burns specifically noted that not
Speaker 1: only could you get the shoes for four hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety five dollars, but you could get the flip flops,
Speaker 1: the ice slides. But what was it like two d Yeah,
Speaker 1: just that's a cool, No problem, no problem. But you know,
Speaker 1: check this out. This is not the only way that
Speaker 1: the Triple B brand is out there. Okay, uh a
Speaker 1: Lonzo ball following in our boy Levy on Bell's footsteps.
Speaker 1: Dropped the track. He dropped the track. Don he dropped
Speaker 1: the track. It's like kind of maybe a little freestyle
Speaker 1: over drake beat. But it's been getting a lot of play,
Speaker 1: all right, so you've heard it. I've heard it. Let's
Speaker 1: let the fantasy freestyle listeners here. We got a little
Speaker 1: snippet were gonna play because you know, we gotta keep
Speaker 1: it clean for all our Sports Byline affiliates, of course,
Speaker 1: but we got we found a little bit. We found
Speaker 1: a verse that we could play. Dottie Burns, uh, let's
Speaker 1: play zoe rapping for the Triple B Big Brawler brand.
Speaker 1: Had to do it for the coaching oh faces like
Speaker 1: the boat as y'all hayting then we know this angry
Speaker 1: faces when you post them, but I gotta stay focused
Speaker 1: dead weight on my show, this talk trash, get straight shots,
Speaker 1: no pumps, help, no stunts hit him and one hold
Speaker 1: up let me push it up. That was that whop
Speaker 1: mingo Mama Yo boy taking up Mike Jonan front the
Speaker 1: Free Though I don't want you. He can get you
Speaker 1: good looking, but you see through your team that my
Speaker 1: people we do other problems never equal being bubbling, not
Speaker 1: just add a rabbit promotor fake. Okay, So there you
Speaker 1: have a little sneak peek of a Lonzo ball. I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you the truth. Sounds like just any other
Speaker 1: kind of Is this trap music done? Uh? I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say the house. I wouldn't say it's a trap beat
Speaker 1: or a trap song because I know the original this,
Speaker 1: but it's a it's good. I'm a hip as a
Speaker 1: hip hop guy. I like the melody and I like
Speaker 1: his flow. Really, as I've said on record, I like
Speaker 1: this shoe. Man, You're kind of you're kind of feeling
Speaker 1: the man. You like the shoe. I'm gonna see you
Speaker 1: with some two d un later on this weekend the summertime. Well,
Speaker 1: we're doing shows live outside here in Rock and Riley's,
Speaker 1: you know, and it's uh, you know, the roof is open.
Speaker 1: Am I gonna see you rocking rocking the Lonzo ball.
Speaker 1: If our fearless leader decides to bias all a pair,
Speaker 1: I'd be down. But still then fair enough And I
Speaker 1: must I must note though here because we are at
Speaker 1: Rock and Riley's in Studio thirty four for the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network, and we are directly across the street
Speaker 1: from Madison Square Garden where right now there is Game
Speaker 1: six and the New York Rangers have allowed a goal
Speaker 1: to the Ottawa Senators. It is the Ottawa Senators one nothing,
Speaker 1: earl Le in the first period, taking the juice out
Speaker 1: of the building. Senators up on the Rangers, one nothing
Speaker 1: in the first period. Here's what I want to get into, uh, Donnie.
Speaker 1: You know we put the fun and functional sports radio.
Speaker 1: You know, we played a little alonzo ball where you
Speaker 1: were getting big at Levy on Bell and he had
Speaker 1: his tracks as well. But you know, last weekend was
Speaker 1: single de Mayo and sometimes people go a little too
Speaker 1: far on Sinco de Mayo, and sometimes athletes go a
Speaker 1: little too far. And uh, I got a list here
Speaker 1: Donnie of the stupidest athlete arrests that have ever happened.
Speaker 1: And some of these stories are you know, kind of
Speaker 1: involves violence and things in that nature, and I wanted
Speaker 1: to stay away from those. You know, obviously you got
Speaker 1: plactical buris, you know, shooting himself in the in the leg, Chad,
Speaker 1: or bobbing himself as it were. But I want to
Speaker 1: ask you, I got a couple of I got a
Speaker 1: couple of what I would think, are you know, just
Speaker 1: straight dumb stupid? And when we put the fun and
Speaker 1: functional sports radio, I want to see how you would
Speaker 1: rank these. Okay, sounds good? Alright. So in two thousand six,
Speaker 1: NFL linebacker to Honey Jones, he was arrested because cops
Speaker 1: bursted into a club that he was in down in
Speaker 1: Florida and told him because they came in and busted
Speaker 1: the club, they shut it down right to Honey Jones, however,
Speaker 1: refused to stop dancing in the club, so he was
Speaker 1: arrested for disobeying a lawful command because he wouldn't stop
Speaker 1: dancing after the police shut down the club. That's the
Speaker 1: bar we're looking at here. Okay, I can see where
Speaker 1: these are going. That's the bar. That's the bar we're
Speaker 1: looking at. Oh boy, you know, we've been talking about
Speaker 1: him all football season. We talked about our boy, punter
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee, who has tired. That is in you know,
Speaker 1: it is in our business. Shall we say? Um, Your
Speaker 1: guy in two thousand and ten was arrested for public
Speaker 1: and oxycation. But it wasn't He wasn't found on the street.
Speaker 1: He was found in the city's sewage canal swimming. So
Speaker 1: he was found swimming, was arrested for a public intoxication.
Speaker 1: So you've got Pat McAfee in two thousand ten swimming
Speaker 1: in the city sewage canal. You got the Honey Jones
Speaker 1: and the club and oh six wouldn't stop dancing, disobeying
Speaker 1: lawful command. What about my man Nate Newton. Nate Newton
Speaker 1: in two thousand and one was busted for um two hundred,
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirteen pounds of marijuana. Now that's not
Speaker 1: the stuff that Demorris Smith was talking about. Okay, if
Speaker 1: you got two hundred and thirteen pounds of weed, yo,
Speaker 1: you're you're that's not your own casual use. You're sort
Speaker 1: of like a trafficker, it sounds like, but here's the thing.
Speaker 1: He got busted for two hundred thirteen pounds of weed.
Speaker 1: Then the next month he got busted four hundred seventy
Speaker 1: five pounds of weed. That's a lot of weed, Donnie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not your uh therapy. Yeah, yeah, that's not the
Speaker 1: therapeutic usage that they're talking about. What's I'm missing? So
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, you know. And here's
Speaker 1: the last one. Clay bull Holts, Clay Buckles, uh you
Speaker 1: know was was red Sox pitcher. He stole computers from
Speaker 1: a middle school in his town in two thousand and
Speaker 1: four and then tried to put put worse than cam
Speaker 1: He then tried to resell them to his community college.
Speaker 1: Oh that one's kind of rough. You think that one
Speaker 1: takes the cake, and you think that one takes the cake,
Speaker 1: that one or McAfee just because if you know or
Speaker 1: watch McAfee, he's he's a comedian, but he's a he's
Speaker 1: a real pro. So yeah, real pro swimming in the
Speaker 1: sewage system exactly, all right. So I'm going with Clay
Speaker 1: bull Holts as the dumbest here because he tried, he
Speaker 1: caught away with it and then tried to resell that
Speaker 1: that one. The other two, the Donny Jones and the
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee. Listen, he just had They just had a
Speaker 1: little bit too much like single Demios celebration going on.
Speaker 1: I think I think they got to the worm at
Speaker 1: the bottom of the tequila jar. And that's what, you know,
Speaker 1: that's what befelled the Honey Jones and Pat McAfee and
Speaker 1: then Nate Newton, he's just balling. He's he's trafficking with
Speaker 1: you know, this is this is almost tonnage of weed
Speaker 1: that he has. I don't know who's uh, you're you're
Speaker 1: riding with Pat McAfee on this, Yeah, probably selling the
Speaker 1: computers back. That was kind of like, yeah, might have
Speaker 1: to go with that one, all right. You know I'm
Speaker 1: being biased with Pat McAfee, so i'd have to go
Speaker 1: with that one. You do love yourself some Pat McAfee.
Speaker 1: You love yourself some Pat McAfee. So real quick too.
Speaker 1: Baseball scores that I did not give you from the
Speaker 1: early slate because they are some big numbers and they
Speaker 1: really help people probably win that cash and when their leagues.
Speaker 1: Colorado Rockies beat the Cubs today ten to four, ten
Speaker 1: to four. It was Jake Garrietta getting the loss. His
Speaker 1: e r A is up to five point three five.
Speaker 1: Remember that game was postponed, so they're playing a double
Speaker 1: header and the Texas Rangers at Petco take out the
Speaker 1: Padres eleven to nothing. Jared Weaver got bombed for the Padres,
Speaker 1: moving to oh and four with a six point eight
Speaker 1: one e r A on the season. Come on right
Speaker 1: back after the break, Donnie Burns and speeds the spitting
Speaker 1: statisician tie a nice little bow on this episode of
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle. I'll up you, update you with a
Speaker 1: couple of scores. Will check in on that pole and
Speaker 1: talk more about what we can be done about Matt Harvey.
Speaker 1: All that and more Fantasy Freestyle here on the award
Speaker 1: winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It should boy. Dane Martinez
Speaker 1: speeds the spitting Statistician and my man Donnie Burns on
Speaker 1: the ones and twos making us blow up like a
Speaker 1: Samsung seven. Come on right back after this Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're looking for those p I
Speaker 1: m p s on the DFS slate. You might have
Speaker 1: found something since and Natty I told you the Yankees
Speaker 1: took a to nothing lead on the Reds wh The
Speaker 1: Reds have stormed back against c C. Sabathia. They are
Speaker 1: now up five to two after two winnings in the
Speaker 1: Great American Small Park. Though for the Yankees, Gary Sanchez
Speaker 1: with a homer coming back from that biceps issue. I
Speaker 1: also want to tell you, uh of you guys say
Speaker 1: that you should just leave it alone with Matt Harvey
Speaker 1: kind of move on. Only ten agree with me that
Speaker 1: they need to send him to Triple A to clear
Speaker 1: his head, or the thtent that say try to trade him.
Speaker 1: I really think that this could be the straw that
Speaker 1: broke the camel's back as it relates to the Mets
Speaker 1: and Matt Harvey. Last thing I want to tell you
Speaker 1: quick note that I want to share. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not like a memorabilia guy in baseball or for anything
Speaker 1: for any memorabilia, to be quite honest, but I can
Speaker 1: understand how you know, Cubs fans really want to cherish
Speaker 1: some of the memorabilia, some of the artifacts for their
Speaker 1: first World Series winning a hundred and eight years. But
Speaker 1: Donnie Burns first base from Game seven of the World
Speaker 1: Series last year was auctioned off. How much do you
Speaker 1: think it's sold for? Geezhi, what thousand number? It is
Speaker 1: not fifty eight thousand, Try twice that it was a
Speaker 1: hundred and one thousand, two hundred and thirty seven dollars
Speaker 1: someone paid to have first base from Wrigley Field when
Speaker 1: the Cubs finally did in fact win the World Series.
Speaker 1: So you know, hopefully those guys, Goney, you come into
Speaker 1: some money. Yeah, I know, maybe they could help me
Speaker 1: with my bank roll. You know that little fan duel,
Speaker 1: we could yeah, we could give it help us get
Speaker 1: to the big big three. Also, if he's got that
Speaker 1: kind of money or he or she, I can help
Speaker 1: them turn that into a little something something. Tune in
Speaker 1: tomorrow here on the Fantasy Freestyle when I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you guys more people that will help you win your
Speaker 1: leagues and win that cash, because that is what we
Speaker 1: do here on the Fantasy Freestyle, And no doubt, Donnie
Speaker 1: Burns and I will be talking about Game five of
Speaker 1: the Spurs and Rockets. I think the Rackets break out today,
Speaker 1: get that lead and then go home and win it
