Speaker 1: that cash. I am very excited here on a Tuesday
Speaker 1: because for the first time in two thousand and eighteen,
Speaker 1: I got my boys down in the fantasy pit of misery.
Speaker 1: We got the manimal Chris Buona making it so that
Speaker 1: the sweats them and your boy, the analysts, Chris Ventra
Speaker 1: is also down there monitoring the YouTube chat. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be in the chat room, and we're gonna be checking
Speaker 1: in with him a little bit later on in the
Speaker 1: show for a number of reasons. Okay, we gotta find
Speaker 1: out what the people are saying in the chat room.
Speaker 1: We gotta catch Chris up on all the fun and
Speaker 1: functional sports radio we had while he was gone. And
Speaker 1: because he is here, the day has come for Speeds
Speaker 1: to hear some of the lyricism that Venture put out
Speaker 1: when he was covering for me when I was half
Speaker 1: a world away. He probably knew that because I was
Speaker 1: half a world away, the coast was clear. But we
Speaker 1: hold him accountable today, and we juxtaposed it against a
Speaker 1: couple of other lyricists out there, Cole Beasley and Lavian Bell.
Speaker 1: What we're also going to do because I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you my confidence ranks on the four defenses that are
Speaker 1: still left playing on a f C and NFC Championships. Sunday,
Speaker 1: we talked a little bit about the Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: hot stove. We talked about McCutcheon that was moved. We
Speaker 1: talked about Garrett Cole that was moved. But I also
Speaker 1: mentioned that uh, the hot stove is not as hot
Speaker 1: as it has been in previous years. It's kind of
Speaker 1: like the MLB Luke warm Stove. And I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you the reasons why there is a lot of people
Speaker 1: there's rationale behind why some of these big moves and
Speaker 1: splashes have not happened as much in this offseason. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna break those down for you. And of course, as always,
Speaker 1: we got a poll question on Twitter. You could always
Speaker 1: catch me at spitting Speeds on Twitter. You could answer
Speaker 1: the polls, give me a follow, ask questions and be
Speaker 1: part of the hashtag stats over Beat Cipher. The question
Speaker 1: as we go through the defenses that are left, do
Speaker 1: you still need a franchise quarterback to win in today's NFL?
Speaker 1: Yes or no? That's what I want you to do.
Speaker 1: Hop on Twitter and answer the poll, Hop on the
Speaker 1: YouTube chat and start to debate this. And when we
Speaker 1: bring in my man Ventra a little bit later on,
Speaker 1: we're gonna find out what the hashtags stats over beat
Speaker 1: Cipher is saying. But when we come back, what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do is we're gonna go around the league news
Speaker 1: and notes. I'm gonna talk a little bit about the
Speaker 1: lukewarm Stove over there in Major League Baseball. Later on
Speaker 1: in the show, I give you my confidence ranks of
Speaker 1: all the defenses, and we catch up Chris Venture on
Speaker 1: all the Fun and Functional sports Radio, including in his
Speaker 1: raps that we have been talking about in the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. When the gang hasn't all been together,
Speaker 1: hangs back together and I am excited. Like my name

Speaker 1: notice what she wasn't going to be good for fantasy.
Speaker 1: He might be the most hated man in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Todd Hanley, but he liked me. One of the most
Speaker 1: loved men and Fantasy football because it's easy to predict
Speaker 1: his office is year in a year out, especially with
Speaker 1: this group that he had in Pittsburgh. It doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like he's back at Pittsburgh thought. Because it's one thing
Speaker 1: to be hated. But when you make some of those critical,
Speaker 1: crucial play calls and the quarterback doesn't want to be

Speaker 1: Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It's
Speaker 1: your boy A Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician, the stable
Speaker 1: genius of the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I am in
Speaker 1: excellent health, no cognitive issues with your boy Speeds. Let's
Speaker 1: go around the NFL. There are some news and notes
Speaker 1: that I want to get to a lot of things
Speaker 1: going about, you know, offensive coordinators, defensive coordinators, head coach openings,
Speaker 1: and what I find interesting. Remember last week where I
Speaker 1: ranked kind of the NFL jobs that were available. Ironically,
Speaker 1: these jobs are basically getting filled in the order that
Speaker 1: I told you I would preference them. You know, Oakland
Speaker 1: got filled. Then we heard that the Patriots coordinators were
Speaker 1: taking on the Detroit job. In the Indianapolis job that
Speaker 1: I talked about, I mentioned that in the case of Chicago,
Speaker 1: they would have to reach for kind of like a
Speaker 1: hot coordinator, and that's exactly what they did with Naggie
Speaker 1: from Kansas City. And now we are hearing about the
Speaker 1: names that are in on places like the Giants, places
Speaker 1: like Arizona. This is the next cut. These are like
Speaker 1: you know, in a schoolyard pick, they get the next pick.
Speaker 1: You know, this is the next level down. So, for example,
Speaker 1: Panthers defensive coordinators Steve Wilkes and Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shermer,
Speaker 1: they seem to be in line to land with the
Speaker 1: Giants and land with the Cardinals. But both names have
Speaker 1: been reported in both places, so we are still going
Speaker 1: to have to wait to find out which one belongs where.
Speaker 1: I think ultimately Shermer will be with the Giants and
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes will get an opportunity with the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Remember also, Shermer has said that he may likely bring
Speaker 1: case Keenum with him. Okay, there are reports of that
Speaker 1: happening as well. Would that be a benefit with the
Speaker 1: Giants where maybe ELI would move on and Keenum could
Speaker 1: be a bridge to maybe the number two overall pick
Speaker 1: or could Keenum, you know, be the man in Arizona
Speaker 1: as the air and parent to Carson Palmer if indeed
Speaker 1: pet Shermer goes there. Um the Titans. Remember this is
Speaker 1: a new there's a new opening, okay in Tennessee after
Speaker 1: Malarkey left where they parted ways mutually yesterday, And it
Speaker 1: sounds like Panthers d C. Steve Wilkes is also an
Speaker 1: option there. It looks like the Titans will interview him. Also,
Speaker 1: you know, Wilkes, Um, there's no clean way to say this.
Speaker 1: Wilkes is African American, Okay, So maybe Wilkes is just
Speaker 1: the hot name that's making the rounds to satisfy the
Speaker 1: Rooney rule. We want to see if Wilkes does ultimately
Speaker 1: get an opportunity at this time around. As we go
Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay, g M Jason Lick gave his kind
Speaker 1: of like post uh after the season kind of autopsy,
Speaker 1: and he actually says that multiple injuries were to blame
Speaker 1: for the disappointing Tampa Bay two thousand seventeen season. Remember
Speaker 1: Jamis missed some time, so people on defense McCoy even
Speaker 1: missed some time there in Tampa Bay, and he said,
Speaker 1: you know, he was asked about why Cutter is coming back.
Speaker 1: A lot of people kind of uh had suspicions that
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay would be a job opening this year, and
Speaker 1: he's saying that the rationale there is they want to
Speaker 1: keep continue, uh you know, continuity kind of or have
Speaker 1: it be stable there and that being the priority. I
Speaker 1: would say, this is kind of like that last chance saloon. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is Cutter and that staffs his last chance. If
Speaker 1: they have another disappointing year. I imagine Tampa Bay will
Speaker 1: be a job opening at this point next year. If
Speaker 1: you remember, I said at the beginning of the season,
Speaker 1: one of the things I always do is I fade
Speaker 1: the team that is on Hard Knocks. We heard all
Speaker 1: off season when Hard Knocks was on about the leadership
Speaker 1: of Jamis Winston. Let me tell you something. With Jamis
Speaker 1: Winston blowing up in Week seventeen, with Jamis Winston putting
Speaker 1: his finger in the helmet ear whole of someone else,
Speaker 1: I don't think that was actual leadership. Okay. We talked
Speaker 1: about how great the Dishelan Jackson edition was gonna be.
Speaker 1: He didn't really do much. He wasn't a difference maker,
Speaker 1: but we get brainwashed when you watch Hard Knocks, you
Speaker 1: know with the NFL films music in the background, So
Speaker 1: uh fade the Hard Knocks team. Who do you think
Speaker 1: and we can talk about this in the YouTube chat
Speaker 1: as well, Venture, who do you think would be a
Speaker 1: great candidate for hot for Hard Knocks next year? I
Speaker 1: think there's some very interesting options. You know, who would
Speaker 1: be a great I know Venture would like this. What
Speaker 1: about San Francisco with Jimmy g Q coming in a
Speaker 1: new regime, a lot of people expecting things out of
Speaker 1: San Francisco. What about the cat scratch fever and these
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars That would be very interesting as well. Building
Speaker 1: off the success of this year, we might have to
Speaker 1: put that up as a pole question later on in
Speaker 1: the week. Which team would be a good fit next
Speaker 1: year for hard knoo What about the Raiders? You know
Speaker 1: some characters there John Gruden as well. Do me a favorite?
Speaker 1: Venture engaged with the people over there in the chat
Speaker 1: room down there in the hashtags stats over beat cipher
Speaker 1: see who they think would be a good candidate for
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks next year? All right? A J mccaren but
Speaker 1: backup in Cincinnati, quote unquote, wanted a chance to start.
Speaker 1: Remember there was that move that he was like traded
Speaker 1: to Cleveland and then the Browns didn't put the paperwork
Speaker 1: into the league office. There's been a lot of talk
Speaker 1: for the last couple of seasons around a J mccaren so.
Speaker 1: I wind up, he might be in this quarterback carousel
Speaker 1: this offseason. We're finding out he's a restricted or unrestricted
Speaker 1: free agent before the new league year. He might be
Speaker 1: out there as an option for some teams as well.
Speaker 1: Add that to Tyrod Taylor, Kirk Cousins, Alex Smith, probably
Speaker 1: Eli Manning, you know, all three Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks, you know,
Speaker 1: and what we know is a deep draft class with
Speaker 1: the names like Donald and Rosen, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and others. Also, uh, we're starting to hear
Speaker 1: some of the cracks in Pittsburgh as as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: Todd Haley might wind up being the fall guy. Okay,
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of talk that maybe him and Big Ben Roethlisberger did
Speaker 1: not have the best of relationships. They was talking about
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks coach, a guy named Randy Fitcher, being kind
Speaker 1: of the buffer for them. Big Bend even wanted the
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach to come down on the sideline during game
Speaker 1: days to kind of be this buffer and kind of
Speaker 1: help code switch because the communication was that bad. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you now, as you know the Steelers get bounced,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you start to hear what was
Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes. The cracks. Big Ben went
Speaker 1: on his radio show in Pittsburgh saying that quote unquote,
Speaker 1: the least amount of change is best again kind of
Speaker 1: like uh in Tampa, they said they want, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of to continue the stability, and that's why cutters there.
Speaker 1: Big Ben saying the same thing about Todd Haley. But
Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye out on that. There's also rumors
Speaker 1: that quote unquote limited partners of the Pittsburgh Steelers one
Speaker 1: and Mike Tomlin out. So listen, a lot of things
Speaker 1: happen when you lose. If you're remember that's why I
Speaker 1: was saying, if the Patriots lose then and and McDaniels
Speaker 1: goes away and Patricia goes away, maybe we'll start healing.
Speaker 1: Hearing about all the tell all you know, accounts of
Speaker 1: what's been going on inside that locker room for the
Speaker 1: last you know, two decades. I'd want to hear about spygate.
Speaker 1: I'd want to hear about Tom Brady's phone. I'd want
Speaker 1: to hear about P S, I S and the like
Speaker 1: that will eventually come. I think that is interesting. The
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks have hired Ken Norton back as their defensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: He was the lightning backers coach there from two thousand
Speaker 1: ten to two thousand fourteen. This doesn't excite me. Even
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll said it was a comfortable higher because he
Speaker 1: had been there before this guy that got fired by
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders this season. So I don't know. And also,
Speaker 1: you know they hired Brian Schottenheimer to be their offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: Those hires, they don't move me. They don't excite me.
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit worried about the Seattle Seahawks moving forward.
Speaker 1: Last note I'll give you is that Ben McAdoo is
Speaker 1: interview you in for the offensive coordinator role in Cleveland. Remember,
Speaker 1: maybe McAdoo fizzled out as a head coach but did
Speaker 1: great things as an offensive coordinator. Maybe that's the lane
Speaker 1: he needs to stay in. All right, here's the uh,
Speaker 1: the next thing I wanted to say real quick. I
Speaker 1: talked about it a little bit yesterday. How um, not
Speaker 1: a lot of movements in the MLB off season so far.
Speaker 1: You know that the hot stove is still kind of cold.
Speaker 1: You know, we're still uh you know, sure we heard
Speaker 1: Garrett Cole move. Ye uh, Stanton moved, you know, but
Speaker 1: none of these big signings, some of these big ticket
Speaker 1: free agents still have yet to sign. J D. Martinez
Speaker 1: still has yet to sign. You Darvish still has yet
Speaker 1: to sign. There's a couple of um, you know, Jake Garrietta,
Speaker 1: Eric Cosmer, Mike Mustakas and others. There are still dominoes
Speaker 1: left to fall. So I asked myself self, why is
Speaker 1: that the case? And here's a couple of things, um
Speaker 1: that to keep an eye on. One is that everybody
Speaker 1: is waiting, in my opinion, to spend their money next
Speaker 1: off season. The free agent class in two thousand eighteen.
Speaker 1: Who some big boys. I'm talking Machado, I'm talking Donaldson,
Speaker 1: I'm talking Bryce Harper, I'm talking Clinton Kershaw. Potentially I'm
Speaker 1: talking Charlie Blackman. So why invest in a mediocre crop?
Speaker 1: And you know, not have enough money to maybe make
Speaker 1: a run at some of these guys. I think that
Speaker 1: is an issue. The other thing is, remember there's a
Speaker 1: harsher luxury tax penalties these days for any team that
Speaker 1: goes over that one uh I think it's the one
Speaker 1: seven or one nine seven million. That threshold the luxury
Speaker 1: tax is a lot more after changes to the cb
Speaker 1: uh c b A, So maybe even teams like the
Speaker 1: Dodgers and the Yankees are trying to avoid that. There's
Speaker 1: also a couple of other things that I want to
Speaker 1: mention when we come back. Okay, before I get into
Speaker 1: my ranks of the confidence of the defenses, there's a
Speaker 1: couple of other things that I think are very interesting.
Speaker 1: One is about and a player agent that may be
Speaker 1: holding the cards, and another is basically it comes down
Speaker 1: to moneyball. And if these gms have all these stats,
Speaker 1: if I have all these stats with the stats overbeat Cipher,
Speaker 1: how much differentiation really is there in the market or
Speaker 1: is there in terms of thinking? That's really interesting. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get into that when we come back. What we're
Speaker 1: also gonna do is I'm gonna break down how I
Speaker 1: would rank my confidence in the four defenses. That are
Speaker 1: still left there. And then towards the end of the show,
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring in my guy, Chris, the analyst Ventra.
Speaker 1: It's your boy. We're gonna catch him up and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna hear uh his attempts at rapping. Here. It is,
Speaker 1: after all, the Fantasy Freestyle. Okay, we're gonna check in
Speaker 1: on the chat room. We're gonna check in on that
Speaker 1: pole as well. Do you need a franchise quarterback? Some
Speaker 1: interesting questions there, But I want to finish this piece
Speaker 1: on maybe some rationale behind why the MLB Hot Stalls
Speaker 1: is only lukewarm this offseason. All that and more when
Speaker 1: we come back, it is the Fantasy Freestyle with your
Speaker 1: boys Speeds, the spitting statistician, the stable genius is in
Speaker 1: the building here on a Tuesday with the award winning
Speaker 1: fantasy sports radio network. So come on back. We got
Speaker 1: a lot more to chop it up with. And let
Speaker 1: me know on Twitter on the YouTube chat, my name
Speaker 1: is Drek Susan. Some of my rights. It's an executive
Speaker 1: who turns last year's trash into this year's cash. It's
Speaker 1: on my left, the man that calls himself Wall Street
Speaker 1: with a more productive fantasy football season than he's ever
Speaker 1: had before the crazy. Then he doesn't consider fantasy football
Speaker 1: he's best sport. Listen each and every weekday to the

Speaker 1: a verbal agreement with Mark Human assigned with the Dallas

Speaker 1: We talk about it all or bs O Live, never
Speaker 1: missing episode Fantasy Sports. Say, the Seattle Seahawks hirey Ken
Speaker 1: Norton Jr. As a defensive coordinator. Now this comes as
Speaker 1: a curious hire because Norton was actually fired by the
Speaker 1: Raiders in November. But Pete Carroll is called this comfortable
Speaker 1: higher because Norton has been with him from two thousand
Speaker 1: four or two thousand and fifteen and both of USC
Speaker 1: in Seattle, and he had coached the linebackers from two
Speaker 1: thousand and ten to two thousand and fifteen. So he
Speaker 1: comes back to an organization that knows him, and he
Speaker 1: knows them. Six am Eastern only on the Fantasy Sports

Speaker 1: No cognitive issues here, Bring on the Walter Read doctors.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to show them that I'm fit and ready
Speaker 1: to go. Here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, I
Speaker 1: was telling you about maybe some reasons why the hostel
Speaker 1: isn't as hot this offseason. And let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: The deals back it up. The numbers back it up.
Speaker 1: As of last week and this off season, there had
Speaker 1: only been forty five deals in free agency. This compared
Speaker 1: against the previous years of sixty two, eighties, six, seventy two,
Speaker 1: nine two. By this point in the year, a lot
Speaker 1: of free agent deals have already been done. The millions
Speaker 1: have already been spent, but not so much. And to
Speaker 1: be quite honest, I'm over here trying to make my
Speaker 1: fantasy baseball ranks and I can't yet because I don't
Speaker 1: know where J. D. Martinez is. Because I don't know
Speaker 1: where your Darfish is. I don't know where Hasmer is.
Speaker 1: I don't know where Lorenzo Caine is and what that
Speaker 1: means to the lineups or the staffs that they will
Speaker 1: go to. So you know, we gotta get going with this.
Speaker 1: I told you about the luxuryy tacks. I told you
Speaker 1: about the rock star class of two thousand and eighteen,
Speaker 1: that a lot of people are waiting for Machad Old,
Speaker 1: Donaldson Blackman, Dallas Kaikol and more. Here are some other ideas, though,
Speaker 1: a lot of the big time free agents this year
Speaker 1: all have Scott Boris as their agent, and you know
Speaker 1: Boris likes to get every penny. He possibly can. But
Speaker 1: the thing is, I think that he has the ability
Speaker 1: annwn is to set the overall market for his other clients, right,
Speaker 1: so he doesn't want to take less for one of
Speaker 1: his clients because he knows there's a domino effect for
Speaker 1: another guy. So he's even holding up. I think think
Speaker 1: that that kind of uh those demands even more because
Speaker 1: of the ripple effect, because of the implication for other clients.
Speaker 1: And then I also told you that there's a and
Speaker 1: this Jeff Passon on Yahoo does a great job here
Speaker 1: and mentioned that, um, there's just like less diversity and
Speaker 1: thinking in front offices. And that's a very interesting point
Speaker 1: to me. Remember there are a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: you know, when Moneyball started and then everybody started caring
Speaker 1: about on base percentage, right, and you know last year
Speaker 1: I was talking about it on the Fantasy Freestyle, how
Speaker 1: everybody cares more about launch angle and it's trying to
Speaker 1: get the ball up in the air. So these are
Speaker 1: now stats that are prized. These are what front offices
Speaker 1: are looking for, you know, maybe and these three true
Speaker 1: outcomes or pitch framing, you know, or cap or nine
Speaker 1: ratio whatever, the deep stat is all the front office
Speaker 1: is looking at the same thing and valuing it the
Speaker 1: same way. These players are now have the same evaluations
Speaker 1: from them front office to front office, you know, so
Speaker 1: the tier is set. It's almost like if you're going
Speaker 1: into your fantasy foot ball draft and every manager was
Speaker 1: thinking about building their team the same exact way. If
Speaker 1: everybody was gonna wait on quarterback, then no quarterbacks would go.
Speaker 1: And that's what's happening in this kind of almost collusion
Speaker 1: like atmosphere about the valuation of stats and the value
Speaker 1: of the data that is out there. So I think
Speaker 1: that is very interesting. I will tell you this on
Speaker 1: tomorrow's episode of The Fantasy Freestyle. I'll go through some
Speaker 1: of the uh, some of the big deals that still
Speaker 1: could be made, and some of the ones, quite frankly,
Speaker 1: that should have been made already. When you think about
Speaker 1: these Florida Marlins and the fire stale that is happening,
Speaker 1: maybe JT. Real Muto should already be traded, Maybe Christian
Speaker 1: Yellich should already be gone. I'm gonna try to find
Speaker 1: good marriages for some of those people a little bit
Speaker 1: later on in the week here on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: But what I told you I wanted to do is
Speaker 1: I want to rank the four defenses that are left
Speaker 1: for the Lombardi Trophy in my opinion, and the ones
Speaker 1: that I have the most confident in moving forward this weekend. Okay,
Speaker 1: so when I do that, my number four we'll go
Speaker 1: forward to one. My number four is the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1: I don't have confidence in this defense. This has not
Speaker 1: been a great defense. They were really up and down.
Speaker 1: They have gotten better under Matt Patricia before he apparently
Speaker 1: goes to the Lions. But here's the thing. They don't
Speaker 1: move me. I think they're lucky that they're playing the
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars this week. Although listen, I think it's funny,
Speaker 1: but the jag scored forty They scored forty five points,
Speaker 1: only thirty eight of it was by the offense. But
Speaker 1: that was up against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and then they
Speaker 1: do the same against the New England Patriots. I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna plant my flag on that. The Patriots
Speaker 1: are the defense that I have the least confidence in
Speaker 1: among the four that are left. From there, I think
Speaker 1: it's important to go to the top the defense I
Speaker 1: have the most confidence in. Everybody's talking about cat scratch fever,
Speaker 1: the Jackson five and all that stuff. NA give me
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. And here's why for me, okay comes
Speaker 1: into the familiarity with the system. You know, we just
Speaker 1: talked about how in Aampa Bay and in Pittsburgh they
Speaker 1: want that stability, that familiarity, and you have that more
Speaker 1: in Minnesota than you do in Jacksonville. Mike Zimmer, the
Speaker 1: head coach, brought his system over. He knows it to
Speaker 1: a t, and he has been finding players that fit
Speaker 1: that system, that fit his scheme. And a lot of
Speaker 1: the players there in Minnesota have been with the team
Speaker 1: now three four years in the system. You know Smith
Speaker 1: as the free safety, Xavier Road, some of the front
Speaker 1: edge rushers between Griffin, you know, and and some of
Speaker 1: the linebackers is a well bar. They have grown together
Speaker 1: and I like that as the tiebreaker over the Jacksonville
Speaker 1: Jaguars for me, and to be quite honest, this week specifically,
Speaker 1: they just have an easier challenge than the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 1: They get to see the Nick Foles led Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: as opposed to my number two defense, the Jacksonville Jaguars,
Speaker 1: which have to go on the road to see Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: So for me, the defining factor of the Minnesota Vikings
Speaker 1: defense is the familiarity with the system. The cogs have
Speaker 1: been in place and it is all led by their
Speaker 1: head coach Mike Zimmer, who knows his scheme remember bringing
Speaker 1: it from Cincinnati. The Vikings defense is the defense I
Speaker 1: have the most confidence in of the four remaining. Number
Speaker 1: two for me would be Jacksonville. I love this Jacksonville
Speaker 1: Jaguars attitude led by Jalen Ramsey not giving a damn.
Speaker 1: It's almost like he's the new honey Badger. Remember Ty
Speaker 1: Matthew And it was like, Yo, honey Badger, don't give
Speaker 1: a what you know? This guy, Jalen Ramsey, you always
Speaker 1: second year getting in the head of a J. Green,
Speaker 1: you know, making plays week after week, is already a
Speaker 1: pro bowler. Um. I think it is the first of
Speaker 1: many to be quiet honest. The other thing I like
Speaker 1: is I love a J. Bouyer. They listen, The Vikings
Speaker 1: have grown up in the system together. The Jaguars went
Speaker 1: out in free agency and found people, Okay, a J. Booyer.
Speaker 1: They signed Calais Campbell the year before that, they get
Speaker 1: uh Malie Jackson. They trade from Marcel Darius Okay, Whereas
Speaker 1: the Vikings are trying to grow up together. And don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong, the Jags are doing some of that
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, Dante Fowlure, uh, Miles Jack as well, right,
Speaker 1: but they're also cherry picking from people and trying to
Speaker 1: have it formed together. I love it, um. And what
Speaker 1: I also like about the Jaguars defense is that they
Speaker 1: have a complementary offensive style. Finally, and that's what I
Speaker 1: think was a very big piece of this as well. Right,
Speaker 1: them drafting Leonard four Nett trying to minimize the risk
Speaker 1: of Blake Bortles. I love both of these defenses are doing.
Speaker 1: I just lean slightly to the defense that is growing
Speaker 1: up together in a consistent scheme, that is the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: So I got Vikings one, Jags two, already told you
Speaker 1: to patch our number four for me. That leaves the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles as the defense I have the third most
Speaker 1: confidence in this week I've been on the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, if you're part
Speaker 1: of the stats overbeat cipher, you already know this. Man.
Speaker 1: I told you a long time ago that the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles would be in the NFC Championship game, and here
Speaker 1: they are. Here's what I love about the Eagles. One,
Speaker 1: it's the defensive line. They were the first team really
Speaker 1: to get not like just four guys on the defensive line,
Speaker 1: they have eight. They know you gotta keep these guys
Speaker 1: fresh and rotate in. It's not just Cox. They went
Speaker 1: out and got Journe again. They went out and get Long.
Speaker 1: They still draft Barnett, They have Brandon Graham. They knew
Speaker 1: that you gotta keep these bodies fresh to kind of
Speaker 1: cave the pocket. I love what they do there. Their
Speaker 1: linebacker level, though not as impressed with when it comes
Speaker 1: to up against Minnesota, up against Jacksonville. But I will
Speaker 1: say this their secondary. You know, you know that they
Speaker 1: were like number one against the run and bad, you know,
Speaker 1: top five against the past. But I like what they're
Speaker 1: doing in the secondary. Also trading for Ronald Darby. They
Speaker 1: also remember drafted Sidney Jones. Remember the name Sydney Jones.
Speaker 1: This is a kid who tore As Achilles. Was one
Speaker 1: of the best cornerbacks in college last year at Washington
Speaker 1: tour As Achilles. The Eagles I think used their second
Speaker 1: round pick on this kid because they saw the potential
Speaker 1: for the future. Remember last year when, um, we're two
Speaker 1: years ago when the Cowboys drafted Jalen Smith and they
Speaker 1: knew he wasn't gonna be healthy to play in his
Speaker 1: entire first year, and now they are reaping the benefits.
Speaker 1: The Eagles did something similar. Remember the name Sydney Jones.
Speaker 1: He's cornerback out of the University of Washington, had an
Speaker 1: achilles injury. He's going to be ready next year to
Speaker 1: make that defense even better. The other reason that uh
Speaker 1: the Eagles, or it's a it's a you know, plug
Speaker 1: for them, is they're gonna be at home. Did you
Speaker 1: see the home crowd in Philly last week? How they
Speaker 1: were able to kind of get hype with their crowd,
Speaker 1: And I think that really did matter a little bit,
Speaker 1: you know, throughout the game when putting pressure on Matt Ryan.
Speaker 1: So there you have it. These are my defensive confidence
Speaker 1: ranks for the four remaining teams. I go Vikings number one,
Speaker 1: a hair over the Jaguars because I like that that
Speaker 1: that team has grown up in the system under Mike Zimmer.
Speaker 1: Love the Jags, but remember they're doing it both ways,
Speaker 1: trying to draft young talent and they've hit on Ramsey,
Speaker 1: on h on jack and on Fowler. But they will
Speaker 1: also have augmented it so much by signing A. J. Bouyer,
Speaker 1: signing Willie Jackson, Trede, ing for Morsel Darius, and then
Speaker 1: signing what could have been the biggest one of them all,
Speaker 1: Collis Campbell. With that squad, I like the way they're
Speaker 1: putting it together. Eagles three and Patriots four. I'll give
Speaker 1: you my ranks of the offenses is on tomorrow's edition
Speaker 1: of the Fantasy Freestyle. When we come back here on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle, though, we are going to put the
Speaker 1: fun back in Functional Sports Radio. My boy Chris Ventra.
Speaker 1: First of all, I gotta give him a huge shout
Speaker 1: out and thank you for covering for me when I
Speaker 1: was away in Asia. This is the first time that
Speaker 1: I have Ventra with me since then, So we gotta
Speaker 1: catch him up. I gotta ask him how it was
Speaker 1: to fill in on the Fantasy Freestyle. We gotta catch
Speaker 1: him up on some of the things we've talked about
Speaker 1: the last week or two, you know, the idea of
Speaker 1: replacing our mascot ted Finn Jr. The idea of the
Speaker 1: concussions or the concussion protocol and the playoffs. We also
Speaker 1: got to talk about his record up against the kids,
Speaker 1: because we got his picks the kids their winning percentage
Speaker 1: is better than the analyst Chris Venture. And then we
Speaker 1: gotta cap it off with I heard, uh, he did
Speaker 1: a little bit of rapping when I was away. We
Speaker 1: have that audio. We will play it for me and
Speaker 1: for anybody else who hasn't heard it, and then we'll
Speaker 1: compare it up against you know, like Cole Beasley's latest track,
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell's latest track, and I will give him
Speaker 1: an honest critique of his freestyle here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle with the hashtags stats over beat Cipher A lot
Speaker 1: coming up me and Chris Ventro when we come back.
Speaker 1: And then we'll also check in with you the stats
Speaker 1: over beat Cipher on the YouTube chat. We'll see what
Speaker 1: the people are saying if you in fact need a
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback in order to win in two day's NFL,
Speaker 1: and we'll see what else the people are talking about.

Speaker 1: is Speeds, the spitting statistician, the stable genius here on

Speaker 1: to run it? I honestly thought Grandy was done after
Speaker 1: last season, but hey, he thinks he's more in the tank.
Speaker 1: They need another outfield because as of right now, and
Speaker 1: they have projected Curtis Granderson at one coin one outfield
Speaker 1: and Steve Pearson the other. Those two guys are a
Speaker 1: natural platoon. In my opinion, He's on your map only leads.
Speaker 1: If you're playing some of these fifty round draft and
Speaker 1: mixed team fifteen teamers, still be some bench death plug
Speaker 1: him in for some power, But outside of that, I

Speaker 1: a Tuesday and I'm very excited. I'm very happy that
Speaker 1: we finally get to have our next segment. First of all,
Speaker 1: once again, I want to thank my man, Chris Venture,
Speaker 1: the analyst. He helped me down for about a week
Speaker 1: a week and a half over the holidays when I
Speaker 1: was on vacation over in Asia, I was over in Cambodia,
Speaker 1: I was over in Thailand. Made it happen by way
Speaker 1: of China. Did a lot of good stuff out there. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, all the good stuff was done. But let's
Speaker 1: bring in Chris Ventra right now. Hey Ventra, it's your boy.
Speaker 1: How you doing, man? How's it going, brother? How you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm doing very good. It sounds like you're eating something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you called me right when I was eating. You're reading
Speaker 1: some crackers. Crackers are obviously the best thing to be
Speaker 1: eating when you're about to go on air on the
Speaker 1: radio as well. You're a professional Venture if nothing else.
Speaker 1: But first of all, my man, while you finishing the crackers,
Speaker 1: I want to once again say thank you, bro, thank
Speaker 1: you for holding me down over the holidays. With the
Speaker 1: hashtags stats over beat Cipher, I was able to check
Speaker 1: in a couple of times and listen to you a
Speaker 1: couple of times you and Corey Parson really would do
Speaker 1: when your thing. Uh, how was it sitting in speeds
Speaker 1: his chair with the hashtag stats over beat cipher? How
Speaker 1: was it? Oh? I loved it. It was such. It
Speaker 1: was a great time. I mean, Corey is great. You know,
Speaker 1: obviously I would love to do that with you as
Speaker 1: well one day. But um, you know, it was a
Speaker 1: great time. You got a great cipher. They're awesome, all
Speaker 1: right enough, No, I appreciate it. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get to that. Don't worry. We're gonna get to that
Speaker 1: in a second. Um, here's what I want to ask
Speaker 1: you about first, because you know, even when you were
Speaker 1: in here over the last week, you would chime in
Speaker 1: on a couple of things like our poll topics and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And you know, one of the things
Speaker 1: that happened when I was over away on vacation is
Speaker 1: unfore we lost uh we lost Ted Finn Jr. And
Speaker 1: so we talked a lot on their last week about
Speaker 1: how we move on from Ted finn Jr. There was
Speaker 1: a lot of ideas, do we get another fish, you know,
Speaker 1: your boy down there, uh Bovona wanted to maybe get
Speaker 1: a Venus fly trap. Maybe our girl you don't remember
Speaker 1: Jilly Dilley in the statsoldat Tier. She hit me up
Speaker 1: said that maybe we should get a turtle and Nave
Speaker 1: name him Levy on Shell. I thought that was pretty
Speaker 1: cool instead of Avian Bell. I might get a turtle myself. Uh,
Speaker 1: at some point this winter, I'm trying to see if
Speaker 1: that's a that's a pet that I can get. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm allergic. People were talking about getting dogs and cats
Speaker 1: here in the studio. I was like, not, I'm allergic
Speaker 1: to that. But then I saw you on Twitter, Chris,
Speaker 1: and you said that you should be the mascot because
Speaker 1: over the holidays you also put corn rows in. Huh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I actually Mike Florio said I should be the mascot.
Speaker 1: I didn't. So what do you think you think you
Speaker 1: have mascot potential? I don't know, man. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't want to be sitting in the studio all day
Speaker 1: in a tank. You know, fair enough fair and if
Speaker 1: you don't want to be an attach and I want
Speaker 1: to pounce one more idea off you because uh, we
Speaker 1: had you know, we had a poll and someone and
Speaker 1: the winner was actually that we shouldn't do anything. You know,
Speaker 1: we should not replace Ted Finn. Someone said that what
Speaker 1: we should do is get an honorary plaque and put
Speaker 1: it up to commemorate Ted Finn here in Studio thirty four.
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? I think that's not
Speaker 1: a bad idea. I think, yeah, maybe we should give
Speaker 1: it some time, some time to kill. You know, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's too soon. Maybe we let's think about it and then,
Speaker 1: you know, as time passes, maybe we'll get a new pet.
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, so we'll keep that on the radar.
Speaker 1: You mentioned that you put some verses, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: get into that in a hot second. First, before we
Speaker 1: hear Ventra, what do I want to hear Bevona is?
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with some Cold Beasley action wide receiver
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys. You know, anytime there's an athlete
Speaker 1: out there dropping bars, we want to hear about it
Speaker 1: here on the stats over beat cipher. You know what
Speaker 1: it is. We put the fun and Functional sports radio.
Speaker 1: Let's hear Bevona now some of the recent Cold Beasley rhymes,
Speaker 1: so we could critique this and know what of venture
Speaker 1: is up against here? Uh in the battle session here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Free Style. Let's get a little cold Beasley.
Speaker 1: But by me, I'm bossed out. But Sunday Jerry's fass.
Speaker 1: Now when I ball loud on a dog with dad
Speaker 1: hits the ball out, put a sauce out, Put a
Speaker 1: sauce on him. That's too much, good wife, that's too clutch.
Speaker 1: Without a back, boy can't do much making moves like
Speaker 1: food trucks, getting tit of bread till it's tewed up
Speaker 1: in my bakett countle. Look two stuff. Huh white dude
Speaker 1: repond too tough. Well okay, okay, that's enough. That's enough
Speaker 1: because he said white dude repin too tough. Right. And
Speaker 1: So for all y'all who don't know who didn't see
Speaker 1: on the YouTube stream, you know Chris Venture is also
Speaker 1: a Caucasian. We were talking about this before, uh Venture
Speaker 1: and I because I just did the twenty three and
Speaker 1: me and we're trying to find out what my heritage
Speaker 1: actually is. You can hit me up on the YouTube
Speaker 1: chat or on Twitter. What do y'all think I am?
Speaker 1: That's another thing we can do. Um. But we're gonna
Speaker 1: go from a Caucasian offensive player to an African American
Speaker 1: football player. Let's go to Levyan Bell, who apparently has
Speaker 1: a little more time on his hands after the loss
Speaker 1: to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has a whole like ep out.
Speaker 1: One of the tracks on that is Wednesday. I want
Speaker 1: you to note some of the similarities. This is another
Speaker 1: kind of with Cole Beasley, was a little bit of
Speaker 1: trap music, a little down south bouncing, same thing from
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell. Let's listen right now to l Bell
Speaker 1: and Wednesday real quick ahead, but on damn five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a long intro for Levy and it's like his
Speaker 1: patient going to the whole before my whole team up
Speaker 1: from my bag. I told on my boys in here, bro,
Speaker 1: they can never last. Hey, don't fall for them traps. Hey, yes,
Speaker 1: I got your bag. Hey, I'm a running tracks all theo. Whitey,
Speaker 1: it's my bad break out. Man. I got this money counted,
Speaker 1: just like coming the nick counts. He's got that money
Speaker 1: counted just like he is an accounting Okay, that is
Speaker 1: the uh. That is the verbal fire coming from Levy
Speaker 1: on Bell. So Ventra, I want to ask you first,
Speaker 1: who do you like better, Beasley or Levy On Honestly, man,
Speaker 1: I think cold. I like, Oh, I'm with you. I'm
Speaker 1: going with Cole Beasley as well, because Cole had a
Speaker 1: little bit more his his lyrics were faster paced, right,
Speaker 1: you know some of these guys right now and some
Speaker 1: of the Southern wrap and stuff. It's just so slow.
Speaker 1: It's too slow for a New Yorker like me. Okay,
Speaker 1: I want to I want there to be punchlines all
Speaker 1: the time. I want you to be needed to listen
Speaker 1: quick enough. Hence hence my day name is speed. Hence
Speaker 1: why my name is speed. So I'm with you. I
Speaker 1: got Cole Beasley greater than Signed Levy on Bell and Ventra.
Speaker 1: I'm glad we're on the same page. I'm glad we
Speaker 1: are normed in what is quality lyricism because now we're
Speaker 1: gonna play a little bit of Chris Ventra. I hear.
Speaker 1: There were two attempts at this. Can you set this
Speaker 1: up for me, Chris? Yeah? So I think it was
Speaker 1: the Friday, which was the second day the freestyle. Corey
Speaker 1: and I botched it up bad because we dropped the
Speaker 1: beat on it, and that threw me and I threw
Speaker 1: you off. Yeah, I lost my complete train of thought. Okay, uh,
Speaker 1: and so which one do we have here, Bovona, Do
Speaker 1: we have the first effort or his second effort? What
Speaker 1: do we got second effort? Okay, let's hear a little
Speaker 1: bit of Chris Ventra repping hard on the fantasy freestyle
Speaker 1: with the stats overbeat Cipher. This is your boy the analyst.
Speaker 1: If a dilly dilly for staying true, it ain't speeds,
Speaker 1: but your boy in the exact could drop them balls
Speaker 1: to tune in, chill out and grab yourself a be
Speaker 1: a while. We locked this ship down straight through that
Speaker 1: the New Year. We're talking Girly Kamara and Glucci Garoppo,
Speaker 1: So forget the mother fu gases. They simply ain't got
Speaker 1: the same flow. Yeah, okay, okay, I like how you
Speaker 1: get in the fool gazes representing the statue. Okay, dropping
Speaker 1: a bomb on this now. I heard that that was
Speaker 1: actually your second attempt, which was far better than the
Speaker 1: first one, right because I did that Pellow. But you know,
Speaker 1: you see, I can't spit fast like you slow. And
Speaker 1: one of my favorite rappers ever his camera and he's
Speaker 1: he's my boy, so you know I kind of spit slow,
Speaker 1: but you know I was trying to just do something.
Speaker 1: You know for the for the crew for this all right,
Speaker 1: so do me a favorite. If you're watching right now
Speaker 1: on the YouTube live stream, hit us up in the chat.
Speaker 1: Let us know who do you think was best? Cole Beasley,
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell or our Boy Chris Ventra. The analysts
Speaker 1: don't want to know what people are thinking, Ay Ventro?
Speaker 1: What else are people saying on the YouTube chat? What
Speaker 1: do you think about this pole question? Do you still
Speaker 1: need a franchise quarterback to win in two day's NFL?
Speaker 1: What are the people saying? Well, I've seen a lot
Speaker 1: of comments on Twitter about it. Okay, um, I love
Speaker 1: this question because, honestly, it's a great question. Honestly, I
Speaker 1: think that you don't need one for an individual championship,
Speaker 1: like to win a Super Bowl one year, you don't
Speaker 1: need a franchise quarterback. But if you want to build
Speaker 1: a franchise, a quarterback is the easiest way to do it,
Speaker 1: sustainable way. Yeah, I see you right there. On Twitter,
Speaker 1: we got a lot of people responding to our question.
Speaker 1: We got Petty Pretty Flacco saying, the Browns out here
Speaker 1: breaking records without a quarterback, So of course you need
Speaker 1: a quarterback one play, But then check this out. I
Speaker 1: agree with Glenn Tansman because you know, I talked about
Speaker 1: ranking the defenses, and I talked about how Tom Brady
Speaker 1: gets lucky. You know, he gets Marcus Mariota in the
Speaker 1: Divisional round, this a year after getting Brock Oswiler. Now
Speaker 1: he's gonna get Blake Bortles in the championship game. And
Speaker 1: if they go to the Super Bowl, they're gonna see
Speaker 1: Nick Foles or case keenum. But I like what Glenn
Speaker 1: Tansman has to say. He says, if one play goes
Speaker 1: differently in the Pittsburgh game or in the New Orleans game,
Speaker 1: New Orleans game, you're gonna have Big Ben in there.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have Drew Brees in there. And then we're
Speaker 1: talking about the need for this franchise quarterback. Clayton Trey
Speaker 1: hand out there on Twitter, who always responds big shout
Speaker 1: out to Clayton, says team construction goes a long way.
Speaker 1: If you're built like the Vikings of Jaguars, you can
Speaker 1: rely on a game manager. Otherwise you need the elite quarterback.
Speaker 1: Michael Orpin on Twitter from the stats Overbeat Cipher saying
Speaker 1: franchise quarterbacks get you to the playoffs. Consistently. I think
Speaker 1: that's the term that you're talking about. Also, Ventra, this
Speaker 1: idea of being consistent, to be a consistent contender year
Speaker 1: in and and year out, show me. I can only
Speaker 1: think of one, to be quite honest, Ventra, I can
Speaker 1: only think of one consistent contender over the last you know,
Speaker 1: decade that has been a contender without a franchise quarterback,
Speaker 1: and that is the Baltimore Ravens. Those are the own
Speaker 1: That's the only team I can think about that is like,
Speaker 1: year in and year out, always in the mix without
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. Even the Denver Broncos, you know, went
Speaker 1: to the mountaintop when they had Peyton Manning. Otherwise, with
Speaker 1: just that defense, you know, it's hit or miss. I
Speaker 1: think the Ravens are the only team that really has
Speaker 1: consistently done it with a defense and not a franchise quarterback.
Speaker 1: And then venture obviously you as well say you don't
Speaker 1: need one in a single season. It can vary, like
Speaker 1: we see, we see what the Vikings are doing, what
Speaker 1: the Jags are doing. If they want to be consistent,
Speaker 1: they need to solve their quarterback concern in the off season.
Speaker 1: And right now, if you look just straight up on
Speaker 1: the pole of you say yes, thirty six percent of
Speaker 1: you say no, you don't need a franchise quarterback. When
Speaker 1: we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network, what we're gonna do is we're
Speaker 1: gonna chop it up with Ventra a little bit more.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask Ventra about my take on the concussion
Speaker 1: protocol and why it is a joke in the NFL
Speaker 1: during the playoffs. We'll see what Ventra has to say,
Speaker 1: and we'll see if there's anything else going on on
Speaker 1: the stats over beat Cipher from the YouTube chat. We'll
Speaker 1: see if people like Veentra's wrap over Cole Beasley and
Speaker 1: Leby on Bell, all that and more. When we come back,

Speaker 1: The Vikings defenses, the defense I have the most confidence
Speaker 1: in of the four remaining week days from seven to
Speaker 1: a p I Eastern Network, Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: Your boy speeds and spitting statistician holding you down. We
Speaker 1: had a poll question up before of you still think
Speaker 1: that you need a franchise quarterback in order to win
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But you know three out of the
Speaker 1: four teams that are left in the playoffs do not
Speaker 1: have that franchise quarterback. And beat teams last weekend? Who
Speaker 1: did Vikings with Case Kingdom beating Drew Brees, Eagles with
Speaker 1: Nick Foles beating Matt Ryan, Jacksonville Jaguars beating Big Ben Roethlisberger.
Speaker 1: So you know it's interesting, but the status of beat
Speaker 1: Cipher is basically saying that consistency is key and if
Speaker 1: you want to real run at it for years and years,
Speaker 1: you need that guy under center that you can trust.
Speaker 1: And I kind of agree, like going into next year,
Speaker 1: if you give me like five quarterbacks, I will tell you,
Speaker 1: you know the favorites to win the Super Bowl. Give
Speaker 1: me quarterbacks oversea defenses. As it were. We have Venture back,
Speaker 1: and we're not gonna venture again with us until maybe Friday.
Speaker 1: A Venture on Friday will make a DFS lineup. And
Speaker 1: the other thing we'll do is we will get your
Speaker 1: picks for the a f C and NFC championship game.
Speaker 1: Because we have your picks. You are five and three
Speaker 1: so far on the playoffs, so am I? I am
Speaker 1: also five and three. But Venture, these kids, man, they
Speaker 1: went three and one last week. Goose went three in one.
Speaker 1: Her only mistake was the Titans. Tito went three and one.
Speaker 1: You don't think he got wrong was the Falcons. And
Speaker 1: then Michaela went three and one. Only thing she got
Speaker 1: wrong was the Saints. She was a hail Mary away
Speaker 1: from being undefeated and four and oh, Venture, would you
Speaker 1: rather be five and three or three and one at
Speaker 1: this point in the playoffs? Because I think the kids
Speaker 1: are ahead of us. All. Yeah, I think I'd rather
Speaker 1: be three on one. But um, I think I don't
Speaker 1: think the kids really know who the steel like, what
Speaker 1: a Steeler is? I think that's right. They all went
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars because they know about the Cats. What
Speaker 1: is a Steeler is a very good question. It's just
Speaker 1: gotta be someone from the Steel city that is Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: I think he's onto something. But listen, they picked some
Speaker 1: kids pick the Titans because of Greek mythology. So I
Speaker 1: think the kids, to be quite honest, I think the
Speaker 1: kids are gonna attend and lean to an Eagle's Jaguars
Speaker 1: pick because they were all on the Eagles for America
Speaker 1: and the Bald Eagle, and they were all on the Cats.
Speaker 1: Gotta love the Cats. There's something about the Cats, definitely.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, I know MICHAELA is gonna
Speaker 1: be picking the Jaguars for sure. Um, So maybe that
Speaker 1: creates an opening for us if we want to go
Speaker 1: Pats and Vikings, which is you know, the two favorites. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I gotta go. I'm gonna tell you right
Speaker 1: now this is this is the truth. I picked the
Speaker 1: Pats over the I mean the Vikings over the Pats
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl before the season. So I gotta
Speaker 1: stick with that. We need to get that on tape.
Speaker 1: We need to play that. I got that on Friday,
Speaker 1: if that, if that or next Monday, if that is
Speaker 1: what happens, If we do in fact have the Pats
Speaker 1: Vikings Super Bowl, we gotta play at much like I
Speaker 1: predicted the Houston Astros in baseball to be in the
Speaker 1: World Series, much like I predicted the Philadelphia Eagles to
Speaker 1: be in the NFC Championship Game. That's the beauty about
Speaker 1: being on air five days a week here seven to
Speaker 1: eight p m. Eastern Time on the Fantasy Freestyle. You
Speaker 1: could always go back and check the tape. UM. I
Speaker 1: absolutely agree with that. The last thing I want to
Speaker 1: bring uh First of all, is there anything else that
Speaker 1: the status beat cipher is saying in the chat room
Speaker 1: that warrants UH consideration from your boys. Pez Ha spitting
Speaker 1: statistician with freestyle in here. And that's what we do now,
Speaker 1: venture because you know, a little bit less calls because
Speaker 1: of the football season is done, but the chat room
Speaker 1: is holding, so we want to bring them to the forefront.
Speaker 1: And because it is the Fantasy Freestyle, they can hit
Speaker 1: me with anything that could bring any topic to me,
Speaker 1: and I will respond, is there anything we need to
Speaker 1: talk about real quick? Well, they were talking about the
Speaker 1: cold Beasley thing. And who do they like? They all
Speaker 1: like me, say easy v. They call me easy. You
Speaker 1: don't know. This is the same status over beat Cipher
Speaker 1: that doesn't like young cos my boys the effect, but
Speaker 1: they like you. I gotta tell you something, Venture, you did.
Speaker 1: I but my boy young cause and the effect. I
Speaker 1: think they do it a little bit better. And uh,
Speaker 1: Colby definitely is one of the rappers out there in
Speaker 1: the NBA, one of the best athlete rappers. So I agree.
Speaker 1: I like what the stats overbeat Cipher is saying. Venture.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see you on Friday. We'll talk about it.
Speaker 1: You have a DFS lineup. We will make your picks
Speaker 1: against the kids, and if it does turn out to
Speaker 1: be Pat's vikings, we will play your predictions for sure.
Speaker 1: Here to make sure everybody knows that it was on
Speaker 1: tape tomorrow, talk a little bit more about MLB hot stove.
Speaker 1: I give you my confidence ranks of the offense. And
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman agrees with me when I say the concussion
Speaker 1: protocol is a joke in the NFL playoffs here That
Speaker 1: and a whole lot more on tomorrow's episode of the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle up next here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Net.
