Speaker 1: as always, want to give a big time shout out
Speaker 1: to our sports byline affiliates around the country and with
Speaker 1: the American Forces Radio Network, the service men and women
Speaker 1: around the world that are getting a little taste of
Speaker 1: home right here from your boys Speeds helping you win
Speaker 1: your leagues and win that cash. As always, I have
Speaker 1: my boy Donnie Burns with me on the ones into
Speaker 1: so Hot that we sweat steam, and we got a
Speaker 1: great show for you on a Wednesday. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you heard us at the top of the hour,
Speaker 1: but I let it be known that listen. I told
Speaker 1: you about it on Monday, and then I said at
Speaker 1: in the middle of this week. As soon as the
Speaker 1: finals buzz was over and the sports news cycle needed
Speaker 1: a new story, we would receive word and in fact,
Speaker 1: today we did. It is official Floyd Mayweather verse connorm
Speaker 1: Or Grega in Las Vegas August twix in what will
Speaker 1: ultimately be a boxing match. You know, we have been
Speaker 1: talking about this for weeks, if not months, on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle, so we're definitely gonna be getting into that
Speaker 1: on tonight's show. Also, listen, I'm gonna be giving you
Speaker 1: my starting lineup as rules rules, so you could win
Speaker 1: your leagues and win that cash. Also, because the NBA
Speaker 1: has uh you know pause. The other basketball we've been
Speaker 1: talking about is that Big Three three on three league.
Speaker 1: We gave you our rankings. We got some trash talk
Speaker 1: heating up that before they tip off June at the
Speaker 1: Barclay Center. And also, you know, we're gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: step in on a couple of stories that we have
Speaker 1: been talking about throughout on Fantasy Freestyle. But now that
Speaker 1: I'm not giving that day by day NBA update, we
Speaker 1: got a little bit more time to get into it.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about updates to the sports gambling landscape.
Speaker 1: We're also gonna talk about gender fluidity in sports, remember
Speaker 1: that high school wrestler that we talked about. Where there's
Speaker 1: a couple of other cases that we're gonna get into.
Speaker 1: But we also got to pull question up, as always
Speaker 1: right now, which is more hyped. Is it gonna be
Speaker 1: this Floyd Connor fight that it's gonna go down August?
Speaker 1: Or was it this three p in the NBA Finals
Speaker 1: that we have finally seen and just ended between the
Speaker 1: Calves and Warriors. That's what I want to know. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you all about the ways to follow us and
Speaker 1: get with us when we come back, as long as
Speaker 1: you know you stay tuned after the break, come on back.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you my starting lineup as well as
Speaker 1: your boy to Spitting Statistician here on the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: Fantasies Sports Radio Network. Do you welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. At
Speaker 1: your boy, Dame Martinez speeds the Spitting Statistician And let's listen.
Speaker 1: If you're listening live and you want to get at
Speaker 1: us this hour, you can do that at eight four
Speaker 1: four eight four three six eight seven nine. As we
Speaker 1: are here live from Studio thirty four at Rock and
Speaker 1: Riley's in Midtown Manhattan on a Wednesday. You know, we
Speaker 1: got some people happy hour. The studio is all decked
Speaker 1: out today, you know, because it is the uh grand
Speaker 1: opening of the Rhodo Experts football package. We're gonna get
Speaker 1: to that. But that kind of signals the start of
Speaker 1: football season. I've been telling you guys for a while
Speaker 1: that the buzz has been palpable, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the NFL season that's the most hyped sporting
Speaker 1: event of two thousand seventeen. But because of the news
Speaker 1: of this Floyd conomercgregor fight becoming official, that is our
Speaker 1: poll question up tonight, and you could always get that
Speaker 1: at F and T s Y Radio and at your
Speaker 1: boys spitting speed on Twitter. Right now, I put up,
Speaker 1: is the NBA Finals? Was it this fight? Well? Was
Speaker 1: it something else? And right now sixty percent of you
Speaker 1: who are voting so far are saying that it is
Speaker 1: the Floyd Mayweather Connor McGregor fight, that it will is
Speaker 1: or will be the most hyped sporting event of two
Speaker 1: thousand and seventeen. Let's get into the starting lineup right
Speaker 1: here in major League Baseball got some news and notes
Speaker 1: for you. CC Sabathia left last night's game against the Angels.
Speaker 1: He was rolling left after the fourth inning. Uh. They
Speaker 1: say he strained his hamstring a DL stint maybe in
Speaker 1: CC's future, shame because he was cruising in his last
Speaker 1: five starts. Also in that game for their opponents, the
Speaker 1: Anaheim Angels, Mike Trout, consensus best player in Major League Baseball,
Speaker 1: says he hopes to return by the All Star Game
Speaker 1: that is coming up ear next month on July eleven.
Speaker 1: That would mark six weeks from his original surgery and
Speaker 1: would in fact beat the timeline that was laid out
Speaker 1: for him at the beginning, you know, of the projection
Speaker 1: when he had that procedure. So, you know, Mike Trout
Speaker 1: working to get his way back and maybe back at
Speaker 1: the very start of the second half of the season.
Speaker 1: Also with the Angels, we're hearing Cam Bedrosian had a
Speaker 1: rehab appearance with High A Inland Empire. Gave up nothing,
Speaker 1: you know, had one inning, pitch, struck out two. This
Speaker 1: is a guy who might be back in the Angels
Speaker 1: bullpen by this weekend, and he could be an option
Speaker 1: potentially to replace Bud Norris to get saves for the Angels.
Speaker 1: But then again, without Mike Trout, how many games are
Speaker 1: they really gonna win? The walk off win against the
Speaker 1: New York Yankees last night? Notwithstanding today, Matt Kemp left
Speaker 1: today's game, okay, sliding into third base. He was pulled.
Speaker 1: They say he might have reaggravated a hamstring injury. Remember
Speaker 1: he was on the d L earlier this season due
Speaker 1: to that very injury. So keep an eye out on
Speaker 1: what happens with Matt camp. In the last note, I'll
Speaker 1: give you here ya c L. Puig, the suspension has
Speaker 1: come down. Remember he flipped off fans in Cleveland after
Speaker 1: a home run on Tuesday. He has received a one
Speaker 1: game suspension. However, note noticed that Yasil Puig will in
Speaker 1: fact appeal. Alright, let's keep him moving here. On the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio network, UM,
Speaker 1: last night, it was Clayton Kershaw a day, okay, and
Speaker 1: I said that listen, if you want to pay up
Speaker 1: for him, it, you know, probably makes sense. He had
Speaker 1: a normal Kershaw outing, but it was not incredible. It
Speaker 1: was not amazing. Okay, seven innings, he gave up two runs,
Speaker 1: struck out four people. But this was not like some
Speaker 1: kind of absolutely ridiculous tent twelve thousand, five hundred effort,
Speaker 1: so you might have done all right trying to beat
Speaker 1: him as I recommended. I gave you two guys who
Speaker 1: here's the thing. They pitched really well, but they didn't
Speaker 1: give you any kind of depth. I said. I liked C. C.
Speaker 1: Sabathia at eight six hundred. He only went four innings
Speaker 1: before he had the hamstring injury that I mentioned to you,
Speaker 1: so he didn't really He didn't give up any runs,
Speaker 1: but only got you twenty four points in fan duel um,
Speaker 1: So hopefully that was enough for you. It was enough
Speaker 1: for me to cash in my lineups um. And also
Speaker 1: Zach Granky Zac Granky only went five and two thirds again,
Speaker 1: did not give up any runs, struck out four. So
Speaker 1: let's flip it forward to tonight. Tonight your studs up
Speaker 1: there on FanDuel. You got Corey Klueberg, but that game
Speaker 1: looks like it might have some rain issues. I hope
Speaker 1: you didn't go there. I would stay away from it.
Speaker 1: Irwin Santana up as well, but I think you can
Speaker 1: beat him with some guys in the eight thousands on
Speaker 1: Fan Duel. I'm gonna give you guys a couple. First
Speaker 1: of all, Dylan Bundy. I like Dylan Bundy at Chicago
Speaker 1: against these White Sox. Remember, any time the White Sox
Speaker 1: are against a right handed pitcher, including Dylan Bundy, you
Speaker 1: can go ahead and fade the White Sox. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: I've been saying that all season long. My boys Tony
Speaker 1: Sencata and Benny Riccardi on the DFS Lineup Block Show
Speaker 1: have also been saying that, I think this is an opportunity.
Speaker 1: Dylan Bundy at eighty six hundred on Fan Duel. And
Speaker 1: also listen, I started this season telling you how much
Speaker 1: I loved Robbie Ray, and well, the analog in the
Speaker 1: American League has to this year be Michael Paneeda. I
Speaker 1: used to call him Michael Pinata at the start of
Speaker 1: the season, but he has spun quality starts in six
Speaker 1: of his last seven. He is going for eighties seven
Speaker 1: hundred tonight on fan Duel against these Angels. Remember these
Speaker 1: Angels still without Mike Trout. It's not like they are
Speaker 1: scoring runs. Even in their alone win last night against
Speaker 1: the Yankees, that was an extra inning affair that I
Speaker 1: think was the three to kind of final, so you know,
Speaker 1: I mean they're not putting up and hurting pictures. And
Speaker 1: Michael Paneeda has been hot, and uh, I think he
Speaker 1: can keep it going. The other guy I'll give you
Speaker 1: if you want to pay even less tonight, is uh,
Speaker 1: how much you consider Mike Leak. I know he has
Speaker 1: tailed off a little bit, but I just think he's
Speaker 1: still good. I went back to his last start against Milwaukee,
Speaker 1: and he was really good in his last time facing
Speaker 1: the Brewers, giving up only two runs and striking out six.
Speaker 1: And that was in mil Talky tonight, it's in St. Louis,
Speaker 1: which is obviously a better picture, more picture friendly park.
Speaker 1: So I think if you want to spend a little
Speaker 1: less money, Mike Leak could be an option. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: what you could do to win your league's tonight. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. Species spitt in status station.
Speaker 1: Whether it's been baseball, whether it's been you know, basketball,
Speaker 1: whether it's been horse racing. For goodness sakes, I have
Speaker 1: been hot. I have been blowing up like a Samsung seven.
Speaker 1: So hopefully you want to listen to me tonight, you know,
Speaker 1: check it out, though, as we keep it moving here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: There was the Major League Baseball Draft over the course
Speaker 1: of the last couple of days, and it gave me
Speaker 1: I saw something very interesting. At the top. The first
Speaker 1: two picks were Royce Lewis and Hunter Green. The Twins
Speaker 1: took Royce Lewis, He's a short stop from California, the
Speaker 1: Red sick Hunter Green, He's a right handed pitcher from California.
Speaker 1: He was actually on the Sports Illustrated cover. Okay, here's
Speaker 1: the thing, and there's a you know, um, both of
Speaker 1: these guys, Royce Lewis and Hunter Green are African American,
Speaker 1: and I thought that was interesting. Joe Adele, also African American,
Speaker 1: went with the tenth overall pick to the Dodgers. A
Speaker 1: couple of other people in the first round. It makes
Speaker 1: me think, like, you know, I've heard for a long
Speaker 1: time about how there's not enough um young African Americans
Speaker 1: in the game of baseball and all sorts of reasons.
Speaker 1: I even, you know, back in my history, have worked
Speaker 1: with nonprofits that do a lot to support youth baseball.
Speaker 1: Harlam RB I big shout out to them, but um,
Speaker 1: you know, if there's the the talent is not the
Speaker 1: issue as we see, you know, these kids going so
Speaker 1: high in the draft. I don't think this is a
Speaker 1: talent issue. I think this is an opportunity issue. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, like when it comes down to it, you
Speaker 1: need equipment to play baseball, you don't to play basketball.
Speaker 1: You need eighteen people to play baseball, and you need
Speaker 1: positive role models out there. So I give it to
Speaker 1: people like the c. C. Sabathia is like the Kirmers Granderson's,
Speaker 1: like the Andrew mccutcheons out there, like the Josh harrety
Speaker 1: sins out there that are providing positive role models out
Speaker 1: there for our young African American boys that are growing
Speaker 1: up with the idea and the dreams to potentially play baseball.
Speaker 1: So I'm very excited that I see um that at
Speaker 1: the very top of the Major League Baseball Draft. It's
Speaker 1: not a talent issue. It's an opportunity uh issue in
Speaker 1: my opinion. And also the other thing is nothing nothing
Speaker 1: we talked about this with the pace of play changes
Speaker 1: that we talked about baseball. Regardless of what you know,
Speaker 1: nationality or race, you are are. Young people today have
Speaker 1: what the what the commissioner has even called an attention
Speaker 1: span kind of deficit, you know, and we have to
Speaker 1: kind of market this game based on the attention span
Speaker 1: and the way millennials are with this kind of just
Speaker 1: in time society, and that is, you know, counter to
Speaker 1: the kind of lazy pace of baseball. And so hopefully
Speaker 1: these pace of play changes, some of these other ideas
Speaker 1: that we've been talking about when I gave my commission
Speaker 1: or platform may also um grow the appeal of baseball
Speaker 1: so that it has a wider tent moving forward, and
Speaker 1: that kids of all ages, kids of all races will
Speaker 1: um you know, be engaged and want to play baseball
Speaker 1: in the same way right now that they want to
Speaker 1: play basketball or football or even soccer and other things.
Speaker 1: All right, So I think that's very interesting. But once again,
Speaker 1: big shout out to royce Lewis and Hunter Green going
Speaker 1: one too. In the most recent Major League Baseball draft,
Speaker 1: like I mentioned, you know, we had a base a
Speaker 1: big time party here for the opening of the Rhodo
Speaker 1: Experts uh football draft prep package. Uh. You know I've
Speaker 1: been hyping this in game, in season baseball package. Well
Speaker 1: there's even more and I'm gonna let you know about that.
Speaker 1: As we move gears a little bit. I have a
Speaker 1: lot of topics I want to get into as we
Speaker 1: get to the cipher and put the fund in Functional
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. I'm your boy, Dane Martinez Speeds the spitting Statistician.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna talk about why the
Speaker 1: landscape of sports gambling is shifting here in America. All
Speaker 1: that and more. What your boy is spitting Statistician here

Speaker 1: that day La on a coming back in on a
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle on a Wednesday live from Rock and Riley's

Speaker 1: Experts dot Com Exclusive Edge Fantasy Football package. You if
Speaker 1: you're not thinking about fantasy football yet, I don't know
Speaker 1: what is wrong with you? Okay, what you need to

Speaker 1: Starting on Monday on the Fantasy Freestyle, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: team by team and give you my preview. Okay, where
Speaker 1: the diamonds, the fu gay zes if you want to
Speaker 1: bet the team over under who I like going in
Speaker 1: to your fantasy football season. So with that in mind,
Speaker 1: let me give you some news and notes from around
Speaker 1: the end. Fell Eric Decker, who was recently released by
Speaker 1: the New York Jets, is visiting the Tennessee Titans today.
Speaker 1: This might be a perfect fit to continue to support
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota. He is a guy that can move the chains.
Speaker 1: Decker also scortes touchdowns at a rate that you probably
Speaker 1: would not believe when he is healthy. That could be
Speaker 1: a nice support to that exotic smash mouth. And remember
Speaker 1: they also drafted Corey Davis early in the draft Washington
Speaker 1: running back Matt Jones, who Matt Jones has asked for
Speaker 1: his release from the team. Okay, now there's gonna be
Speaker 1: some running backs over the next couple of months that
Speaker 1: get kind of cut and are on the street. Remember,
Speaker 1: we've heard that the Eagles may In fact, there have
Speaker 1: been reports that the Eagles may move away from uh
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews. Think about what the Jaguars did with Leonard Fournette.
Speaker 1: What does that mean for Chris Ivory? And there are
Speaker 1: still some teams that could be looking for, you know,
Speaker 1: to build a committee. In my opinion, the Charges and
Speaker 1: the Colts come to mind, but we shall see. Also,
Speaker 1: Dallas wide receiver Cold Beasley is going to miss mini
Speaker 1: camp with a shoulder ten denitis. They're calling that they're
Speaker 1: gonna try and uh he still needs a little bit
Speaker 1: more time to get himself one. We also here, UH
Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver for the New York Jets, third round
Speaker 1: pickout of Alabama, A Jarius Stewart had some and groin surgeries. Okay,
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss mini camp. This is the guy that
Speaker 1: a lot of people slated to be a starter now
Speaker 1: to replace Eric Decker. The fact that this rookie is
Speaker 1: kind of outside of those greatest Shape of his Life stories.
Speaker 1: If they got injuries and issues already, you know it
Speaker 1: could be an issue. However, in the Greatest Shape of
Speaker 1: his Life department. Doug Martin running back for the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Bucks. There are reports out there that he is
Speaker 1: quote unquote quicker and the bulkier on the practice field
Speaker 1: during mini camp. Don't forget, though, this guy has a
Speaker 1: three game suspension. So regardless of where you are at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, it's gonna be my man.
Speaker 1: Pop Quiz Jock Quiz Rogers toting the rock for many people.
Speaker 1: Sleeper team the Tampa Bay Bucks. Will see what speeds
Speaker 1: things starting next week in my team by team previews. Also,
Speaker 1: I got some tight end news for you, UH Panthers
Speaker 1: tight end Greg Olsen. He wants to raise He's not
Speaker 1: gonna hold out or anything like that, but he is
Speaker 1: now only ten the twelfth highest paid tight end. His
Speaker 1: production has been false superior to that. He's been talking
Speaker 1: to management saying he would like to renegotiate a new contract.
Speaker 1: And in Washington, Jordan Reed, they're saying he looks dominant.
Speaker 1: At the start of minicamp. He was not at O
Speaker 1: t A. So this is his first time back since
Speaker 1: Week seventeen. Remember he ended last season a little bit
Speaker 1: banged up. This guy is still going to be Kirk
Speaker 1: cousins number one target in my opinion, even with Terrell
Speaker 1: Prior now in the fold. Also in Atlanta, they're talking
Speaker 1: about Austin Hooper. Mattie Ice, you know m v P quarterback,
Speaker 1: says that he is quote unquote playing like a veteran
Speaker 1: in what will only be his second year. This guy
Speaker 1: had flashes and he might be an interesting piece of
Speaker 1: an offense that you know is going to produce. Let's
Speaker 1: keep him moving here though. On the cipher in the
Speaker 1: fantasy freestyle, what I've wanted to tell you guys as
Speaker 1: this idea that um, there may be movement on sports gambling.
Speaker 1: I've talked to you guys about court decisions and loopholes
Speaker 1: and things of that nature when we had the horse
Speaker 1: races a few weeks back. But um, the American Gaming
Speaker 1: Association actually met with the unions for all four major
Speaker 1: sports last week. And the CEO of the American Gaming Association,
Speaker 1: his name is Jeff Freeman. He says the leagues are
Speaker 1: a quote unquote wisely learning everything they can and that
Speaker 1: are really taking in these studies because they know that
Speaker 1: gambling quite frankly, it's a way to increase engagement, increase viewership, okay,
Speaker 1: through betting and through fantasy. And remember how the NFL
Speaker 1: specifically was worried about ratings drops. Legalizing betting could be
Speaker 1: one answer towards that. The NBA has already kind of
Speaker 1: pivoted in their position under new commissioner and Silver. And
Speaker 1: you know the NHL, they're not talking, but they are
Speaker 1: putting a franchise in Vegas that will start next year.
Speaker 1: We know that Major League Baseball in the NFL opposes
Speaker 1: them right now, but this could be changing. What they're
Speaker 1: saying now is that they're in the stages of basically
Speaker 1: maybe even on a state by state level, building the
Speaker 1: infrastructure so that while this becomes legal. It is regulated
Speaker 1: and kind of understood processes to what they say, quote
Speaker 1: unquote prevent any shenanigans, but it's going to happen. And
Speaker 1: here's another little domino in that fight. DFS is now
Speaker 1: legal in the state of Vermont, Okay. So big shout
Speaker 1: out in Vermont, Okay because you can now play Daily Fantasy.
Speaker 1: So right now, if you're in Vermont, out there and
Speaker 1: I know you are on Mount Pia, Mount Pierre, excuse
Speaker 1: me in our you know, sports by line, if you're
Speaker 1: out there on w s K I at twelve forty am,
Speaker 1: I want to say big shout out to you guys.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you're not only listening to us, but you listen
Speaker 1: to that DFS line up lock show beforehand because they
Speaker 1: are giving you what you need. Just now, Governor Phil
Speaker 1: Scott signed the bill making Vermont the twelfth state to
Speaker 1: enact the kind of legality of DFS on a state basis.
Speaker 1: Here is a quote. UM, I won't really read the
Speaker 1: full thing, but um, they DraftKings and Vanduel said that
Speaker 1: there is more than a hundred thousand people in Vermont
Speaker 1: that we're playing and now that it is legal, they
Speaker 1: can be back out there. So you know, and for
Speaker 1: us that means more people potentially you know, on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network checking us out. Um, so welcome, welcome, absolutely,
Speaker 1: And like I say, I think, um, we have seen
Speaker 1: movement in these leagues and it's gonna it's a it's
Speaker 1: a matter of when, not if. You know what else
Speaker 1: was a matter of when but not if. That is
Speaker 1: that Floyd Mayweather, Connor McGregor fight. Okay, I have been
Speaker 1: telling you for weeks that it was going to happen.
Speaker 1: I think Donnie Burns, so I'm gonna bring it in
Speaker 1: our next segment the Love Doctor for the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: He'll tell you I have been saying for weeks that
Speaker 1: this was gonna get done. We were talking about the
Speaker 1: A side, the B side, how much money, and how
Speaker 1: they were trolling each other back and forth. And then
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the week, I told you how
Speaker 1: this was gonna go down. This is what speeds does
Speaker 1: he like predicts the future. I'm like Cleo. If you
Speaker 1: guys ever remember that woman who would be like Calmenal
Speaker 1: you know, and give you the give you like her
Speaker 1: predictions or her premonitions, the psychic, y'all need to start
Speaker 1: calling me miss Cleo Calminal at eight four or four
Speaker 1: eight four three six eight seven nine, because I told
Speaker 1: you on Monday that this was gonna get signed this week,
Speaker 1: that they were specifically waiting. These guys are marketing geniuses
Speaker 1: and businessmen. They were waiting for the finals to end,
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals to end, because then the sports news
Speaker 1: cycle take it from me as a daily radio host
Speaker 1: after the NBA Finals ends and the Stanley Cup Finals
Speaker 1: has ended, until we start getting into the preseason of
Speaker 1: the NFL. From now until then, which is basically what say,
Speaker 1: like the first week of August, the only game in
Speaker 1: town is Major League Baseball. That's why they are called
Speaker 1: the Boys of Summer. So what Floyd and Connor are
Speaker 1: trying to do is take advantage of what is one
Speaker 1: of the down times of the sports calendar, and they're
Speaker 1: gonna announce it as soon as that window opens. And
Speaker 1: they have set the date for August twenty six, that
Speaker 1: is like week three of the preseason. So right after
Speaker 1: that's over, everyone will be full bore into the NFL.
Speaker 1: But from now until then, people will certainly be talking
Speaker 1: about Connor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather, and I am among
Speaker 1: those people. I thought it was great. Connor McGregor on
Speaker 1: Instagram actually was showed picture of him working out and stuff.
Speaker 1: So actually showed a picture of Floyd working out and said, man,
Speaker 1: much respect to Floyd Senior, still getting in a few
Speaker 1: rounds at the gym. I hope I can still train
Speaker 1: at that age. Respect. There's a dig and a shot
Speaker 1: at Floyd me way Weather, who has not fought in
Speaker 1: two years. Let's not forget about that. He has not
Speaker 1: fought in two years. Right now. What you have is
Speaker 1: Connor McGregor at eight to one to win this fight.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you how this is gonna go down.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you about it. I would saying like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know. You can train from multiple disciplines and
Speaker 1: all that. Let me tell you exactly how this is
Speaker 1: gonna go down. This is a boxing match. Floyd is
Speaker 1: the greatest defensive boxer of all time. Connor McGregor is
Speaker 1: not gonna win a round. This is going to go
Speaker 1: buy decision, a whitewash Floyd Mayweather by a decision. Floyd
Speaker 1: will certainly not have the power or aggressiveness to knock
Speaker 1: Connor McGregor out. These m M A guys can't knock
Speaker 1: Connor McGregor out, but Connor McGregor will not lay a
Speaker 1: glove on Floyd Mayweather. The best boxers in the world
Speaker 1: can barely score against Floyd Mayweather, and Connor McGregor will
Speaker 1: be no different, unless, for some reason, if they turn
Speaker 1: it into like I said, my Greenberg's idea that they
Speaker 1: boxed for like nine rounds and then the last one
Speaker 1: is an m m A. What I also think is interesting.
Speaker 1: Don't get it twisted. Like I said, these guys were businessmen.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if something weird happens to set
Speaker 1: up a rematch. What if, like somehow Floyd gets disqualified
Speaker 1: so we didn't win, but he's still undefeated. What if somehow,
Speaker 1: some way there's a draw. What if, somehow, some way
Speaker 1: there's a publicity stunt like fan man or something like that,
Speaker 1: which just means that they have to have a rematch
Speaker 1: and then you gotta pay another sevent to see it again.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think it's possible. That's all
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But I will say this between now and then,
Speaker 1: we'll certainly be talking all the smack talk from here
Speaker 1: until then, when we come back though on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: More smack talk on something else that's gonna be taking
Speaker 1: attention share this summer that has been smart. We're talking
Speaker 1: Big three with my mom and the love Dr Donnie
Speaker 1: Burns right after this on the Fantasy Freestyle Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle, Don Burns
Speaker 1: bringing that heat like an inconvenient truth like his name
Speaker 1: was Al Gore or something like that. You're warming it
Speaker 1: up right now more than two degrees celsius to the
Speaker 1: past of point of no return, bringing you with that
Speaker 1: get by tolip quality. As we come back on a
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle here on a Wednesday, you got Donnie Burns
Speaker 1: and Dane Martinez Speeds the spitting statistician here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle helping you win your league and win that cash.
Speaker 1: As always, big shout outs of the Sports Byline affiliates
Speaker 1: around the country and to the American Forces Radio Network
Speaker 1: around the world. Like I said, big shout out to
Speaker 1: the capital of Vermont today as DFS is now legal
Speaker 1: in your state. Shout out to twelve forty a m
Speaker 1: W s K I out there listening to your boys.
Speaker 1: Speeds and spitting statistician. All right, moving along here, Remember
Speaker 1: basically I was trying to talk about how the summertime
Speaker 1: and the boys of summer, right, it's attention span, okay,
Speaker 1: and it's attention kind of share in essence when when
Speaker 1: when it's nice out and it's beach weather. You know,
Speaker 1: in the winter time is when people are watching basketball
Speaker 1: and football and hockey, and in the summertime, it's really
Speaker 1: just baseball when it comes to the sports calendar, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's when you have things like you have tennis majors, right,
Speaker 1: and you have soccer tournaments and stuff like that. But
Speaker 1: you're gonna have You're gonna have this big time fight
Speaker 1: lead up all summer long between Connor and Floyd, and
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna be covering that on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: The other thing. Two other things that do happen over
Speaker 1: the summer. One that I want to get into real
Speaker 1: quick is not only do you have the tennis majors,
Speaker 1: but you have the golf majors. Okay, and the US
Speaker 1: Open is starting this week. But here on the Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: I can't give you DFS golf, okay, Although here on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You can get that with
Speaker 1: Pat Mayo. You can get that with my man Tony
Speaker 1: Sincot on that No Mulligan show. Giving you what you need. Yo,
Speaker 1: if you want to win some cash, listen to your
Speaker 1: boys here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Download the
Speaker 1: app and you will be good to go. But uh,
Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson is skipping the US Open this year, and
Speaker 1: Donnie Burns my love doctor, I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know why or if you think let me see what
Speaker 1: you think about this. He is skipping the US Open
Speaker 1: because tomorrow his daughter graduates high school. Amanda Michelson is
Speaker 1: graduating high school and is actually the commencement speaker. She's
Speaker 1: going to Brown in the fall, and the high school,
Speaker 1: like this was the thing. The high school is not
Speaker 1: going to reschedule this for Phil Mickelson, So he is
Speaker 1: missing the US Open to go see his daughter graduate
Speaker 1: high school. However, he did not withdraw from the tournament,
Speaker 1: which I think is pretty interesting. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's got some private jet or something, or maybe he's
Speaker 1: banking on, like you know, the five or ten percent
Speaker 1: chance that there's like a weather the lay or issue
Speaker 1: or something like that and he can still you know
Speaker 1: make it to both events. But um, I I find
Speaker 1: it interesting. I went to found out who the first
Speaker 1: alternate is and it's a guy named Roberto Diaz. So I,
Speaker 1: Phil Michelson, does not you know show then Roberto Diaz
Speaker 1: get this spot and this guy says, quote, I'm not
Speaker 1: expecting him to withdraw. I'm just gonna prepare to be
Speaker 1: the first one here waiting for whoever decides to drop out,
Speaker 1: if someone's injurgy or sick or something. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be there at sixty five in the morning, ready to go.
Speaker 1: I like that attitude by Roberto Diaz. It looks like
Speaker 1: he's going to be in the field because of the
Speaker 1: graduation and speech of Amanda Michelson. So I got two
Speaker 1: questions for you, Donnie Burns, if we could bring in
Speaker 1: the love doctor here in the Fantasy Freestyle. Two questions. One,
Speaker 1: the Michelson family has gotta be rich. You think they
Speaker 1: couldn't have gone to the school and been like, YO,
Speaker 1: will build you a new library, will read saw the
Speaker 1: football field? Will you know, get you all the A
Speaker 1: V equipment you need in the auditorium? You could read?
Speaker 1: Will rednate you know the uh the planetarium? For the
Speaker 1: high school or something like that. Don't you need new
Speaker 1: gold posts or something um to kind of maybe push back,
Speaker 1: you know, the graduation or reschedule it. That's one thing.
Speaker 1: And then the second thing. I know you're a young man,
Speaker 1: Donnie Burns, but what would you choose? I mean, if
Speaker 1: you're Phil Mickelson and you're like, you've done this many times,
Speaker 1: I guess you go to the graduation. But like, what
Speaker 1: if this was his first ever major something like that,
Speaker 1: what do you think about it? Love? Doctor? No, I'm
Speaker 1: much respect to that. Um. You know, he's probably experienced
Speaker 1: most of this in his life already, and that's why
Speaker 1: I'm cool with that decision. Like you said, she's actually
Speaker 1: the commencement speaker exactly. Yeah, so much respect in that
Speaker 1: regards them. If I'm a younger guy, I'd probably still
Speaker 1: make that same decision. You know, family comes first always,
Speaker 1: and I really do. I guess I appreciate that. Okay,
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. You don't think the Michelson family
Speaker 1: could have like green some palms. I think that. No,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I think they could have done that,
Speaker 1: but I feel like it's not the type of guy
Speaker 1: to do that. I feel like he's you know that
Speaker 1: blue collar you know I'm gonna go think So, I
Speaker 1: think as you were saying that, sure that he's probably
Speaker 1: already given thousands to this. He's just not the type
Speaker 1: to be like, hey, can you reschedule this? Alright? Alright,
Speaker 1: so they know, I mean, they know who her father is, right,
Speaker 1: they can easily reschedule on their own. And so what
Speaker 1: do you think about this first alternate dude? Like what
Speaker 1: he's just waiting to see, Like what's gonna pop off? Man?
Speaker 1: He's ready, He's ready to go, right, Harles, So I
Speaker 1: like that. We'll keep tabs on him. Remember, the US
Speaker 1: Open starts tomorrow. I believe it's in Wisconsin, right outside
Speaker 1: of Milwaukee. Of the US Open. Gets it going. Dustin
Speaker 1: Johnson is your favorite in that one. So check this out.
Speaker 1: The next thing that's gonna happen, in my opinion, that's
Speaker 1: gonna take some of the like I'm calling it the
Speaker 1: attention pie chart of the sports fan. This summer is
Speaker 1: what we've been talking about for a couple of months
Speaker 1: now here on Fantasy Freestyle. That is the Big Three Tournament, Okay,
Speaker 1: Ice Cubes and Alan Iverson's three on three league. We
Speaker 1: have been covering this since in concemption when they brought
Speaker 1: on like the former CEO of the Oakland Raiders to
Speaker 1: run it and kind of we like how they're doing
Speaker 1: it as a barn storming tour. They had to combine,
Speaker 1: they had the draft. We've been playing a lot of
Speaker 1: this and I've been saying again it's very smart. Big
Speaker 1: three is gonna start as soon as the NBA Finals
Speaker 1: is over there kicking. They're tipping off June at the Barclays. Okay,
Speaker 1: we may even be doing so. We gave you our
Speaker 1: fantasy rankings, you know. So it's gonna be interesting. If
Speaker 1: you're a basketball fan that you may be interested. And
Speaker 1: it's gonna be done by football. Very smart move by
Speaker 1: the Big Three and as predicted by your boy Speed,
Speaker 1: the spitting statistician, the trash talk is going to start.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be interesting. I wanna Donnie, We're gonna
Speaker 1: play some things and then I want to get your
Speaker 1: opinion on this because you're a young man who it's
Speaker 1: the gym and Israel health conscious. First, we're gonna hear,
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear Steven Jackson throwing shade at Al Harrington
Speaker 1: talking about how Al Harrington was on social media posted
Speaker 1: imposing at the gym, saying he was working out, but
Speaker 1: Stephen Jackson gets at him a little hard about you know,
Speaker 1: how intent and how intense or how deep his workout was.
Speaker 1: Can we get some of that now, Donnie Burns. I
Speaker 1: see a lot of y'all are working and putting up
Speaker 1: grams and all that. What y'all doing. I see a
Speaker 1: lot of y'all host se y'all grahams and four two
Speaker 1: minutes later, y'all in the car or y'all sitting on
Speaker 1: the sideline breathing hard. Y'all ain't putting it no for
Speaker 1: our workouts. I know y'all making it look good for
Speaker 1: the ground. Listen, my boy's been working out for a
Speaker 1: long time. Half our lives, most our lives. Did he
Speaker 1: take you four hours to get a workout in the
Speaker 1: Probably wasn't a good workout. Forty minutes is more than
Speaker 1: enough time. I know, bro, four albums she was you're
Speaker 1: doing for four hours. But I'll tell you what we're
Speaker 1: gonna see. What she was doing for four hour was June.
Speaker 1: When we see you at the Barclays, you your friends, Hauncy,
Speaker 1: you know, are you Brian Cook Trilogy playing against the
Speaker 1: Killer Beach for Threes or whoever it is. You see
Speaker 1: you boys, we need to work out for no four hours?
Speaker 1: Then starting to throw it specifically. I guess it's gonna
Speaker 1: be Trilogy versus Killer Threes at Barclays in a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. But check this out. Now we have more
Speaker 1: Kenyan Martin, who is also on the trilogy, and it
Speaker 1: is obviously now Al Harrington's teammate on the trilogy. He
Speaker 1: decides to chime in. Of course, he's gonna back up
Speaker 1: his boy Al Harrington, saying, you don't need to be
Speaker 1: in the gym for no four hours? Can we hear
Speaker 1: some of that now, Donny Bee? Yeah, so I'm gonna
Speaker 1: chime in so four hours. Come on, Like, what are
Speaker 1: you doing in the gym for four hours? Bro? Forty
Speaker 1: five minutes our hour to hand. I ain't getting two
Speaker 1: hours four hours. June twenty Field, Barclays Trilogy, Killer three
Speaker 1: bring all right, check it out, Donnie Barns. We can
Speaker 1: cut it there. So first of all, I love this.
Speaker 1: I absolutely love this. This is like good nature. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys have been to war with
Speaker 1: each other for ten fifteen years. Remember before we were
Speaker 1: talking about like Jerome Williams and they were like with
Speaker 1: his other with Mike Sweetney I think it was, and
Speaker 1: they both went to Georgetown together. This is good spirited
Speaker 1: kind of you know, ribbon and trash suck. But Donnie,
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, who do you side with as
Speaker 1: as as a fit young man out there is four
Speaker 1: hours wait the gym, your body starts breaking down, breaking
Speaker 1: down on Yeah. So so you're right away to Al
Speaker 1: Harrington what I said. I am a big Kenyan Martin.
Speaker 1: Of course that Jackson talking about saying that he's in
Speaker 1: the gym for four You know Stephen Jackson, You've watched
Speaker 1: him when when he was in the league. He's that
Speaker 1: kind of fiery guy. So I guess, I guess, But
Speaker 1: you know, what do you think about? I think the
Speaker 1: level of smack talk and the pub around Big Three
Speaker 1: is now, just like Connor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather, only
Speaker 1: going to increase now that the NBA Finals and all
Speaker 1: the kind of attention that was there is now gone.
Speaker 1: It's good spirited. Now let's see if it gets any
Speaker 1: worse than that. Yeah, well, see, I think the Big
Speaker 1: Three listen I've been saying the Big Three. These guys,
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. From a marketing and branding standpoint, exactly,
Speaker 1: that's what they're doing. They're hyping up their collective brand.
Speaker 1: They're rising all boats, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: once again your boys, speeds and spitting statistician loves what
Speaker 1: these guys are doing. And we're gonna keep you telling
Speaker 1: you about what's going on in the Big Three. Like
Speaker 1: I said during the Boys of Summer, We're gonna be
Speaker 1: talking Big Three. We're gonna be talking fight night. Remember,
Speaker 1: I got more to come on that Triple G Canelo
Speaker 1: fight a little bit later on this week as well. Um,
Speaker 1: and of course we will be getting you ready for
Speaker 1: fantasy football as you guys get into your dress. I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, though, don we got this pole question
Speaker 1: of right now, like what is the most hype sporting
Speaker 1: event of two thousand seventeen so far? And you know,
Speaker 1: big shout out to everyone who is voting. Say the
Speaker 1: Floyd Connor fight. Okay, say the NBA Finals that just
Speaker 1: concluded that we've been looking for for a year. But
Speaker 1: but Donnie, that leaves four percent of the voters. And
Speaker 1: I had I had an option for other, right, but
Speaker 1: then in there I said, give me nominations. So what
Speaker 1: do you think about this? Pent of people say other,
Speaker 1: but no one nominated an actual alternative. Those are just
Speaker 1: the critics that they want to be critics. They don't
Speaker 1: have ideas on why or what. That's furent. You're supposed
Speaker 1: to give an answer and there's no answer. Troll is gonnatrol.
Speaker 1: It sounds like, I think that's crazy. Last thing I
Speaker 1: want to say real quick before we go to break
Speaker 1: and have to tie a nice neat little bow on
Speaker 1: this show, and by the way, up next on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network is in this league with my
Speaker 1: boys Bogman and Welsh. They'll be giving you what you
Speaker 1: need for fantasy baseball. UM this three on three the
Speaker 1: Big three League. The other thing is, whoever wins this
Speaker 1: may springboard themselves to a potential gold medal in the Olympics. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I am serious. Three on three basketball is going to
Speaker 1: be an Olympic event in the Olympics in Tokyo. It
Speaker 1: has been officially announced. Okay. Uh fiba UM president Horacio
Speaker 1: Martore said this quote. The intensity of skill level of
Speaker 1: the three on three game is such that there are
Speaker 1: no traditional powerhouses and new countries have emerged since the
Speaker 1: first experience in two thousand and ten when it was
Speaker 1: at the Youth Olympic Games. This was our main objective
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and seven. The decision provides FEBA
Speaker 1: with a renewed strong incentive to continue in this direction
Speaker 1: um form in both genders across the globe, from small
Speaker 1: islands to large countries in every continent. I think that's
Speaker 1: interesting that, because it's a new format, that other countries
Speaker 1: may be competitive, but whoever wins the Big three has
Speaker 1: got to be the gold medal favorite. Remember they are
Speaker 1: also doing this to incentivized engagement and younger viewers. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is another game. What do you think about, Donnie,
Speaker 1: Big three and then three on three is an Olympic sport. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm super excited about the fact that they decided to
Speaker 1: do this. However, I don't know how the format exactly
Speaker 1: will be. I don't want them to take this as
Speaker 1: a kind of like a joke, because you know, we
Speaker 1: talked about basketball at the time. It's one of my
Speaker 1: favorite sports to watch. I'm excited that's going to be
Speaker 1: a thing. But I don't want it to be a
Speaker 1: joke in this song. I think it's gonna be absolutely serious.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're making it an official Olympic sport. This
Speaker 1: is gonna be They're not gonna you know, they're not
Speaker 1: putting up anything up there to be ridicule. This is
Speaker 1: an official sport. I mean, they got rhythmic gymnastics for
Speaker 1: God's six, you know, they got synchronized swimming. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of other things they could take more as a
Speaker 1: joke instead of three on three bowlers. And that's what's
Speaker 1: gonna be happening. Hopefully Big Three can send some good talent.
Speaker 1: We're gonna come back after the break. Wrap up this night, niece,
Speaker 1: little show. I got some scores, will check in on
Speaker 1: the poll, and I have a sad bit of news
Speaker 1: to pass along as well. It's your boy, Dane Martinez.
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network. News and notes, real scores from around Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball. The start of the game has been delayed
Speaker 1: in both Chicago, where the White Sox and the Orioles
Speaker 1: are trying to get it going and in Cleveland where
Speaker 1: the Dodgers and Indians were set to continue their series.
Speaker 1: But in the middle of the third inning, the Cubs
Speaker 1: are up on the Mets two to one. We have
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks up to nothing on the Tigers and Jordan's
Speaker 1: Zimmerman in Detroit that came in the top of the third.
Speaker 1: Also in the middle of the third, we have the
Speaker 1: Raise up to nothing on the Blue Jays, the Red
Speaker 1: Sox all over the Phillies and Jeremy Hellickson. They're already
Speaker 1: up five nothing at the top of the third, and
Speaker 1: after three in Pittsburgh it is one nothing Rockies. Herman
Speaker 1: Marquees has only given up one hit through three Rockies up.
Speaker 1: One of thing I told you have a bit of
Speaker 1: sad news to report as well. Incoming freshman offensive lineman
Speaker 1: Tyler Heinz for Kent State football team died yesterday after practice.
Speaker 1: He was an incoming freshman, had yet to play for
Speaker 1: Kent State, had yet to take a class. The cause
Speaker 1: of the death is still unknown, but this did actually
Speaker 1: happen right after UH summer conditioning drills. So rest in
Speaker 1: peace to Tyler Hines and our prayers to the entire
Speaker 1: Kent State family. Um. Also, like I said, we we
Speaker 1: gotta pull question up right now. You guys think that
Speaker 1: Connor McGregor versus Floyd Mayweather is gonna be a more
Speaker 1: hyped event than the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Cavaliers and their NBA finals. I find that to be
Speaker 1: like extreme recency bias, because you know, we were we
Speaker 1: were building up to this Warriors calvs. Final for a
Speaker 1: very long time. But I will say this, I am
Speaker 1: also very excited because Floyd and Connor are not only
Speaker 1: two great fighters, but they are too incredible trash talkers.
Speaker 1: So we're already seeing how they're going at it on
Speaker 1: social media. I'll tell you what the seven or whatever
Speaker 1: they do as the kind of documentary to build it
Speaker 1: up is going to be huge. And if that goes well,
Speaker 1: don't get it twisted. There may be some crazy joint
Speaker 1: that happens which necessitates the need for a rematch. Well
Speaker 1: tomorrow we're gonna be talking about that some more, and
Speaker 1: all sorts of other fun stuff. You know how we
Speaker 1: do here on the Fantasy Freestyle, we put the fun
Speaker 1: and functional sports radio dropping stats over beats. It's my man,
Speaker 1: Donnie Burns, the Love Doctor, it should boy Day Martinez
Speaker 1: speeds the spitting statistician here on the Fantasy Freestyle on
Speaker 1: the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio networks. See it tomorrow, Everybody,
