We got 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:23.800 a couple of poll questions up also if you want 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.040 to kind of engage with the show. First of all, 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.720 Noah synder Guard the Curious Case of Noah synder Gard. Okay, 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:31.800 this is a guy who refused an m R. I 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.160 went out there next start. It looks like he has 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.280 a partially torn lot. But our poll question is this, 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.000 Remember you had Madison bum Gardner uh last week on 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.080 a dirt bike and he's gonna miss a couple of months. 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.840 There is no timetable yet for Noah synder Guard. And 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.760 also remember a couple of weeks ago, Starlin Marte faces 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.880 an eighty game suspension that already we've had already about 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.880 fourteen of those days. So I asked him, out of 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.080 those three guys, which are you looking to keep as 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.400 much as you possibly can on your draft fantasy baseball 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:03.960 team this year? That is one of the polls will 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.320 get into a little bit. And also remember last weekend 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.760 was the NFL Draft. We had incredible coverage wall to 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.120 wall with my man the Fantasy executive.

You know, do you like what your 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.160 team did in the NFL draft? Okay, do you see 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.160 their plan? Do you think you didn't address their needs? 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.440 Or are you gonna be conservative and say only time 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.160 will tell? You know, we talked about how you gotta 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.600 look at these drafts three or four years out. That's 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.120 what we're gonna do when we come back. I'm gonna 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.160 also get into the NBA playoffs from my man Donnie 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.800 Burns will take your calls big things.

What I wanna do is, 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:57.360 I want to give you a couple of takeaways, and 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:58.880 you know how I like to do here on the 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.160 Fantasy Freestyle. How to give you a couple of angles 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.600 that you may not see and just your running the 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.160 middle coverage, Okay, because that's what we do here. We 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.240 put the fun and functional sports radio. I'll give you 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.320 what you need to win your leagues and win that catch, 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.320 and we look a little bit deeper because I am 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.720 obviously the spitting statistician. If you want to talk to 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.640 me about any of this this hour, Hollywright me at 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.599 eight four four, eight four three six eight seven nine. 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.560 One thing that I thought was really interesting about the 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:25.000 NFL Draft was that, you know, I talked about it 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:26.520 going into these draft that I didn't think any of 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.760 the quarterbacks were like franchise quarterbacks. But if you see, 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:34.000 people invested, made moves, traded up in the first round. 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.000 All three quarterbacks that was selected in the first round. 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.760 UH teams traded up for the Bears traded up to 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:43.400 get Trabinsky, the Chiefs traded up to get Mahomes, the 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:47.400 Texans traded up to get Watson, but not necessarily to 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.000 start for them day one obviously, as we talked about 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.440 in Kansas City, Alex Smith is your starter, and what 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.560 a place to learn for Patty Mahomes under you know, 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.000 a complete professional to be able to soak in the 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.480 offense under Andy Reid. I like that a lot. Listen, 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.400 I I don't think Deshaun Watson is gonna be the 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.880 day one starter. I do think Tom Savage might be 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:10.960 the Day one starter in Houston, but I do like 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.360 they went up. Bill O'Brien got his guy him, he's 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.200 supposed to be this quarterback whisper. I love that Watson 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.200 has DeAndre Hopkins for that Clemson connection. I think Watson 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.040 it's gonna be in a situation where he will start 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.359 to get snaps this year and they may change, you know, 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:30.200 hand the reins over UH on the Texans after the bye. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:31.800 I'm not sure when the bye is, but you know 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.080 we've seen that that's like the Kurt Warner Eli Manning 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.279 model that I think that's what we got there in Houston. 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.480 And in terms of Chicago, you know a lot of 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.520 people are saying they're not sure what is going on 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:46.520 in Chicago. The GM, you know, the GM Ryan case 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.120 and UM head coach John Fox, they may be at 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.400 odds about what they did with this Trabinsky pick. And 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:57.719 remember they signed m glennon two million, three three year deal, 0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:59.760 so there's a lot of money in there. But I 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.599 want to dig a little deeper. Guys. There's a couple 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.760 of quarterbacks that I think we're in really good shape, 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.440 that I think have great landing spots that are not 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.640 going to play this year. Remember this is the way 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.359 I think teams, you know, the team, the way teams 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.359 used to do it. Obviously, Remember Aaron Rodgers in Green 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.200 Bay got to sit behind Brett Farve. Lesser known is 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.679 also in San Diego. Had they had that chain of 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.360 a little somebody with Philip Rivers and Drew Brees as 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:29.400 a chain. Um, I like what two teams did. Remember 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.640 going into this draft, I started to talk about some 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:34.919 of the quarterbacks in that two thousand three, two thousand 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.599 four range. Now, the Chiefs didn't air apparents Alex Smith, 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.320 but I really like what the Pittsburgh Steelers and the 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:44.120 New York Football Giants did in my opinion drafting air 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.400 appearance that if you are in a deep dynasty kind 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.480 of league, these are the guys to look for. Because, 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.520 as you heard, I am not big on Rabinsky. I mean, 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.040 Mahomes may take time. Watson what, who knows what kind 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.960 of situation he is. The Pittsburgh Steelers went and draft 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.479 did Josh Dobbs, quarterback out of Tennessee. This is a 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.560 guy who fits the character of that organization. This is 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.320 a guy who is exceptionally smart. He is literally a 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:13.880 rocket scientist. And in um, what is was a story 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.440 that I saw. He actually had a chance to interview 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.320 with Dan Rooney before um he passed away chairman of 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.920 the Steelers a few weeks ago, and Rooney liked him 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.240 and they kind of blessed his character and the fact 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:26.640 that he thought he would be a good, you know 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.200 fit as a face of the organization, as an airparent, 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.240 as the quarterback on the player guide, you know, after 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.640 big Ben moves on that Rooney himself before passing away, 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.120 endorsed this pick. I think that is very important. And 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.680 I think that just Dobbs when he, you know, big 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.640 Ben has what big First of all, big Ben gets 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:46.760 hurt every year, so he might get you know, a 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:51.320 couple of the snaps, but when he does inherit this role, 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.920 he's gonna have, you know, still a Levion Bell in 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.400 his prime, still in Antonio Brown, you know. So I 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.880 think that's a very good situation. The Pittsburghs. Theo's offense 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.200 is not going anywhere anytime soon. So I like Josh 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.559 Dobbs in two years, if you're in a dynasty league, 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.840 the other guy, I really like It's New York Giants 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:11.040 draft this kid, David's Webb at a cow and uh, 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.400 I think the Giants, if you look at the Giants 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.320 weapons on the side. You know, we also believe, say 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.520 Eli Manning has two years okay, and I think many 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.560 people would think that is like the window that we're 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:26.280 working in with a guy like Eli Manning. When Davis Webb, 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.800 if it is in fact him inherit this, he is 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.280 going to have an old Dell Beckham entering like his 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.800 prime with fifth or six year in the league, Sterling 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.600 Shepherd as a third year while with fourth year wide 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:40.439 receiver Evan Ingram as a tight end you know, ascending 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.720 in his third year. A lot of playmakers, the Giants 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.080 know that they need to build up that offensive line. 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.400 I think that is a plumb situation for a kid 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.200 like Davis Webb. So if you're in a uh deep 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.720 dynasty draft, I like Dobbs and Webb better than some 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.120 of the other guys who went, you know, Kaya to 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:01.360 Detroit or Peterman to Buffalo. And speaking of Buffalo, you 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:05.840 guys see that the Bills fired GM Whaley, uh Doug 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.720 Whaley the day after the draft. Apparently that was supposed 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.040 to happen and was part of the conditions of McDermott 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.920 coming on when he was hired to be the Bill's 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.200 new head coach. A few at this point a month ago, 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.560 you know. But I think it's crazy timing. They let 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.520 him play out the motions through the draft. I guess 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.360 you can't really replace them because you've done all this 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.560 work and whether or not you believe in the direction 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.360 of scouting or the player development or you know who 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.440 they would take. You can't just hit the reset button 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:33.319 with a couple of weeks before the draft. You have 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.040 to kind of play out the string. But I thought 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.160 that was absolutely crazy. Also interesting note on it, though 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.520 the Plugoula family will now own the Bills. Listen, they 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:48.040 have now fired Rex Ryan the coach and Walley the GM. 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.680 They also owned the Buffalo Sabers, and the Buffalo Sabers 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:52.920 have had both front office and head coaching turnaround in 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.200 the last twelve months as well, So I think that 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.120 is kind of interesting. And then Donnie Burns, I don't 0:09:58.120 --> 0:09:59.560 know if you're with me, but I got a crazy 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.360 story for you. I don't know if you've seen this, 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:05.040 but there was a tweet storm around the Juju Smith 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.360 Schuster pick for Pittsburgh. So let me explain this to 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:09.839 you because I think this is a big takeaway of 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:13.760 the draft as well. So Juju Smith Schuster was picked 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.320 by the Steelers on Friday, I believe in the second 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:21.680 round and immediately Martavis Bryant, who remember was reinstated after 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:25.520 a four hundred and seven days suspension. Recently, like a 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.520 week or two ago, tweets out at someone, you know, 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.720 kind of retweets at someone who is you know, trolling him, 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:36.199 basically saying, nah, man, this guy is not my replacement. 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:41.160 This guy is Sammy Coates's replacement. I'm back, I swear 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.280 in real time. I retweeted this and was like, Yo, 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.000 that's not really the nicest thing to say to your 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.400 teammate when you're just kind of like getting back into 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:52.080 the locker room and into the team culture. Then about 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.920 ten minutes later, Sammy Coach responds to him with just 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.720 like l o l ha ha ha ha. Ten minutes later, 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.880 Mike Tomlin has to intervene and says a nice boys, 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.240 and then Sammy Coach responds, Nah, no such thing asn't 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.760 playing nice and football. See you on Monday, Coach. This 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.040 is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I went back 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.520 when I saw other people like getting traction, you know, 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.200 other other outlets reporting it. But I have your boys 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.440 speeds is spitting statistician. Put it out there right away. 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.680 You need to follow me at spitting speeds, I'd be 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.520 breaking that news that ups you win your leagues and 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.760 win that cash. And Martavis Bryant had since deleted the tweet, 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.360 so I think that's interesting to me. It signals nothing 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:32.280 about jujuice truth, Mr. There nothing about Sammy Coats but 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.880 that Martevis Bryant. I don't know if that four hundred 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.559 and seven days away really helped you or not. The 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.679 last thing I'll say about the draft is YO amazing 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:45.920 two hundred and fifty thousand people show up in Philadelphia. 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:47.679 I think it's incredible. I think the movie the NFL 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.040 made to put it outside and I have a rotate 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.080 city to city and not be in essence at Radio 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.360 City Music Hall every year and indoors. I think that's 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.160 been a great decision. I like how Philly fans egged 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.360 on you know, Roger A. Dell. And also they had 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.760 guys former greats for all these other teams announcing picks, 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.320 and when Pearson came up for the Cowboys, when the 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.760 Giants and other you know, rivals of the Eagles, they 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.160 were really going back and forth at it. I thought 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.079 that was great. And you know what else is interesting 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.840 to tell you if you don't believe that football is 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.960 king in this country. We are in the middle of 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.880 the NBA playoffs, we are in the middle of the 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:26.400 NHL playoffs. You know, we have other things going on, 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.719 but yet two hundred and fifty thousand people show up 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.440 in essence to watch people read names out and break 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.560 down coverage of guys that will not even make NFL rosters. 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.720 NFL is in fact king, but check it out. Come 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.880 on back here Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.480 Sports Radio Network. We're gonna look with Donnie Burns at 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.000 the NBA playoffs, and you know there's a new heavyweight 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.200 champion in the world. Come on back, let's talk about it, right, 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.080 you know what it is. And Chavoyd Dame Martain is 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.120 a k a to spitting statistician. And you're listening live 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.080 to the Fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:12.800 And of course, big shout out to our sports Byline 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.880 affiliates around the country and the American Forces Radio Network 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:19.080 on bases around the world. Servicemen and women looking for 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.120 a little taste of home. So you know, Donnie Burns 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:23.560 and Speeds are here to hold them down so they 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.960 can win their leagues and win that cash. Let me 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:27.760 get into a couple of news and notes. First, from 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.640 the NFL. We were talking about the draft before, and listen, 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.760 now that we're welcoming in the new it's also a 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:35.760 little bit out with the old and a little people, 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.360 you know, catching feelings. So let's get into some of 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.280 the evolution of these NFL rosters. Gary Barnage, tight end 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.400 of the Cleveland brown says that he is released. Remember 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.560 the Browns went ahead and drafted David Noku as part 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.880 of their three first round picks. Mike Glennan now says, 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:54.000 quote unquote, he feels cheated on. As report says here 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.520 in the Chicago Tribune. There's also, like I mentioned before, 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.239 an anonymous GM said that it is bad between GM, 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.800 Ryan Pace and coach John Fox. There within the you know, 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.680 within the inner circle of chicagoan you know, sucard quarterback 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:10.440 Mike Glennon feels slighted as well. The Packers have released 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:14.400 Christian Michael uh running back that had, you know, really 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.240 been this kind of darling of the fantasy community for years. 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.280 The Packers though what I had and drafted not one, 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.200 not to but three running backs this weekend, clearing the 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.600 way for Christine Michael to go and have a you know, 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:28.200 kind of backfield by committee led by time on Gumpery. 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.520 I will say this though, number one rancor Jake Seely 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:35.520 loves himself some Jamal Williams, who was drafted by the 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.960 Green Bay Packers this weekend. The Jags, and what I 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.640 think is a surprising move, have decided to pick up 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:44.320 the fifth year option on Blake Bortles. Bortle Service, I'm 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.960 a little shocked by this one. Local media is as well. 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:48.880 I thought there was a chance that Tom Coughlin would 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:50.760 cut the court here, but no, they decided to pick 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:55.000 up their fifth year option on Blake. Darren Sprawled says 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.720 that this might be his final season. The Eagles did 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.200 draft a shifty back late that could be a ask 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.440 catching back in his air apparent and uh, you know 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.200 other places where the egos need to be calmed, Cody Kesler. 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.680 They come out and say that he is the brown starter. 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.720 Remember I told you I think they were gonna ride 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.600 that way despite drafting DeShawn Kaiser. You know one thing, 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.880 it's not gonna be bruck Osweiler also Deonte Foreman in 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.920 Houston was drafted to be a Texans running back there, 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.200 saying he is only going to quote unquote spell Lamar Miller. 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.600 Same case in New York. For the Giants, Paul Perkins 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.440 is the starting running back to spite the drafting of 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.640 Wayne Gallman out of Clemson. Keeping it with running backs, 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.280 Jamal Charles is visiting the Denver Broncos tomorrow. This says, 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.040 you know, now that rosters are settling a little bit, 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.560 think about guys like Jamal Charles thinking about the quarterbacks, 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.880 and there are a lot of them out there. We 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.000 may put up a poll question a little bit later 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.960 this weekend out of these quarterbacks who are now that 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.440 the dust has settled, maybe what teams are still looking 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.760 for a backup? Guys like Jay Cutler, Guys like Ryan Fitzpatrick, 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.800 guys like r G three, Guys like uh, you know, 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.280 Colin Kaepernick, who are still out there in Major League 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:00.680 Baseball some news and know I want to get to 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.120 as well. Ryan Braun left yesterday's game with the tra 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:08.000 Freesias strain A's have activated Sonny Grain come Sonny Gray 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.920 coming back from a last strain. Tyler Skagg the picture 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.560 for the Angels, He's gonna be out two to three 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.320 months with an oblique strain. Zach Britton looks to be 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.080 coming back tomorrow. He is coming back from that forearm injury. 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.000 And it seems like Evan Longoria admitting that he is 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.320 dealing with a little plant or fasciitis common feeling for him. 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.240 He did have plants or fasciitis back in two thousand 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.160 and thirteen. The other thing I want to talk about 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.360 here as it comes to the draft, you know, on 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.920 I think it was just Thursday, Mike and Mike had 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:41.400 the commissioner, Roger Goodell on and uh he commented on 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.880 something that I think is very interesting. Donnie Burns and 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.040 anybody who listens to Fantasy Freestyle knows how I feel 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:51.280 about UM, the pain management in the NFL, the opioid epidemic, 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.120 the Toroh doll shots, juicing them up just so they 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.840 can get through the day. And also what I have 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.120 said before is something of an arkaean stands on the 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.200 marijuana polo see you know still, you know, in essence, 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.760 testing for and punishing something that is legal in twenty 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:10.240 six states and counting. UM Roger Goodell said that it 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:14.080 was addictive and unhealthy. This is about marijuana, and said 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:16.480 that pretty much in a frivolous kind of joking way 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.639 on Mike and Mike, Well, if you're ingin smoke, it 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.159 can't be healthy. Ha ha. It's sort of like a 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.560 refer madness nineteen fifties view to me, if you want 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.800 to know the truth. First of all, marijuana is legal 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:29.480 in twenty states and Washington, d C. That is more 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:34.080 than half of the states in this country. I've said 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.040 for a while that the NFL has an opportunity to 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.359 be a leader in this space and endorsing this or 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.960 working with medical professionals to understand and use this in 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:45.480 their athletes to in essence go through five car crashes 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.560 per day. Obviously the pain management, but also and what 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:52.080 it has done for people with epilepsy, things with brains 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.600 um you know, as opposed to with the CTE that 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.720 is going on here in the NFL. But also Goodella 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.560 is all over the map with this. Just last year 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.480 and Donnie Burns, you're a big Dolphins fan. I remember, 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.680 and if you remember last year, Laramie Tunsel and draft 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.480 time had a little bit of an issue as it 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.399 related to marijuana. Remember his They say his Twitter account 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:12.760 was hacked and there was a picture of him doing 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.160 the gas mask right before the draft, and Roger Goodell 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:20.439 the next day said that, you know that incidents in 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:24.560 social media was quote unquote what makes the draft so exciting. 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.120 I mean, he really is all over the place with this. 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.800 And then you know, when you think about, you know, 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.879 despite studies that have come out and say that marijuana 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.880 is not as addictive as say alcohol, which by the way, 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.600 you can't you know, see an NFL game without about 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:43.920 ten alcohol commercials or beer commercials. You know, and when 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:45.960 you talk about is addicting, we'll talk about we we've 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:50.040 profiled here on the Fantasy Freestyle before you know, the 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.720 addiction of opioids and pain killers and what what what 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:57.359 has happened there in the NFL. But um, here's what 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:58.920 I truly think and the reason why I wanted to 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.560 bring this up. I think I've cracked the code. I think, 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.400 you know, and remember speeds, he brings you what you need, 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.840 but also, you know, put spotlight on these issues. I 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.480 think this is all a negotiating ploy by the owners 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.440 and Roger Goodell. Remember the collective bargaining deal is up 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.880 in you know, maybe four years or so, and this 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.919 is a very easy thing that the NFL could then 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.040 change their stance on him and say like, okay, we 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:25.480 will revise the policy here, but they'll only do it 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:27.520 in collective bargaining when they can use it as a 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:31.679 chip to get something back from the players. Why change 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:35.359 their policy now when they're not at the negotiating table. 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.080 I think this is an easy, low hanging fruit thing 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.640 that the owners can do in the next negotiation that will, 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.560 you know, make some players and the players union and happy. 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:47.080 So I think they're keeping this kind of arka in 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:51.199 view until they're actually at the negotiating table because you know, 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:53.840 I have no other explanation, because the NFL would be 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:57.520 a great forward thinking partner if possible. Let's keep it 0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:59.640 moving here in the cipher and Donny Barnes, we're gonna 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:01.600 talk and a playoffs, I think in the next segment, 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:03.760 because I want to say something that I have not 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:07.560 been able to say since I've had the Fantasy Freestyle, 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:09.359 since I've been on the Fantasy Sports Radio network, and 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.119
