But I got my man 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.280 Donnie Burns here is the basketball correspondent and love doctors. 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.600 So you know, we're gonna talk a couple of things. 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.400 We're hearing things that were going on in the locker 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:43.120 room on the Cleveland Cab side after Game two. We're 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.560 gonna get into that and what might happen to uh, 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.080 you know, lengthen this series a little bit. We also 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:50.880 have other basketball news I want to get in too. 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.840 I got an update with Enis Cantor, remember it was 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.000 hashtag free Nis. I talked about what was going on 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.560 with him a couple of weeks ago. And also interesting 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:02.080 and you know, kind of closing final news on Chris 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.480 Bosh that you want to stay tuned for. Donnie Burns 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.160 and I were also you know, NBA is not the 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.079 only basketball we talk. We're gonna talk Big Three again, 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.160 you know, Ice Cubes League. We're gonna give our power 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.240 rankings of the teams and listen, I'm gonna give you 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:18.040 Yesterday we talked about Jeremy Macklin and where he may 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:22.400 wind up. There is another Pro Bowl wide receiver that 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.079 it looks like will be hitting the market, so we'll 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.600 talk about that as well. And I'm also gonna get 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:31.200 into something I read Gary Sheffield, former Yankee Great, former 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.919 Marlon Grade and others talked about what rule changes he 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.919 would make if he was commissioner of Baseball. So that 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.880 is our poll question. We'll talk about how you can 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.240 interact with the show all that when we come back 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.920 on the Fantasy Freestyle. You know, see if you would 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.079 make any changes if you were a commissioner. For a day, 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.440 we got a lot of news to cover me My boy, 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.680 Donnie Burns, the Love Doctor, you know what it is. 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.359 It should boy Day Martinez. We're here on the Fantasy 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.840 Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:00.720 on right back after the break, we gonna get into it. 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:16.320 You welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle's you Boy Day 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:20.000 Martinez holding you down on a Tuesday. Let's get right 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.839 into it because I think we got a jam pack 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:23.560 show today. I got a lot of news to break. 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.560 I got a lot of fun stories to talk about, 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.040 So let's get into it right now, as we start 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.760 with our starting lineup, with news and notes around Major 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.080 League Baseball, just cross like in the last fifteen or 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.000 twenty minutes, the Blue Jays have placed second baseman Devin 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:40.960 Travis on the disabled list with a knee issue. Um, 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.640 he had a bone bruise in his knee. Here's the thing, 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.080 it's really bad timing. I mean, dude in May had 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.840 an ope yes of nine four. You like that as 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.680 a second baseman. But the thing is with Travis, he's 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.920 never staying healthy, so I think we may have to 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.720 give him the dreaded injury prone tag. More news and 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.560 notes Astros in fielding Arvin Gonzalez, he um jammed his 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.040 hands sliding into third base the other day. He's listed 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.040 as day to day. Keep an eye on him for 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:11.320 the red hot Houston Astros. Speaking of red hot, Justin Boor, 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.840 who I've been talking about all last month, was very 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.960 high on the player righted four the month of May. 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.360 Looks like he may be going to the d L 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.159 as well. He also has a bone bruise from for 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.080 Justin Boord though it's in his ankle. He landed awkwardly 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:28.960 on first base on Saturday, hasn't played since. Also Wade Davis, 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.039 closer for the Chicago Cubs, he has been placed on 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.159 the paternity list. That means he's gonna miss somewhere between. 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.400 I believe it's one in four days. You may have 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.560 a cheap opportunity for saves out of a guy like 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:42.320 Cogi Yuahara. In the meantime, another guy who may wind 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.320 up on the d L because this time because of 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.480 a back issue is Mike Napoli. So watch that he's 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.640 still struggling with that back issue. Hasn't been uh in 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.280 games in the last three or four games. All right, 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.479 So as you know what we do here is I 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.520 hold myself accountable to what happened yesterday. Yesterday I told 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.800 you that you could beat Carlos Martinez. I told you 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.120 the slate. I did not truly like. I believe there 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.880 were seven games out there and Carlos Martinez was the 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.000 most expensive option at ten thousand on fan duel. But 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.640 I didn't necessarily like it, especially at Cincinnati, where I 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.279 thought the ball would fly in the great American small park. 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.080 I did not think he was, you know, kind of 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.640 like elite enough to be worth that ten thousand dollar price, 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.800 and I thought you could beat him. Well, Carlos Martinez 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:26.720 not only probably got beat by you guys, but he 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.400 got beat by the Cincinnati Reds. He only picked he 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.640 picked six and third innings, gave up four runs though 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.760 struck out eight. I think you could beat him. The 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.960 guy I gave you probably did help you beat him 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.960 because he cost twenty six hundred dollars less. Last night, 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:46.640 in a begrudging move, I said, Mike Fires, as the Astros, 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:48.560 you know, the best team in the American League, we're 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.520 facing the worst team in the American League, the Kansas 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.200 City Royals. The Astros did in fact run their wind 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.039 streak to eleven games, and Mike Fires did in fact 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.120 get the win to help you out. He only gave 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.960 up two runs, struck out four tonight. Like I said, 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:03.800 I hope there is still time left for you to 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.159 make these moves. There are two pictures I like. Listen, 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.040 it's Max schers are going today. So if you want 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.040 to throw Max Scherzer, you know you're gonna have to 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.359 pay eleven thousand, nine hundred on FanDuel. But if you 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.560 want to do that. I can't hate on that. That's 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.120 all good. Try these two guys though, if you're looking 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:21.400 to beat them slightly cheaper. Okay. I love Chris Archer tonight. 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:25.640 I love, love love Archer tonight at ten thousand, seven hundred, 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.840 he is at home. The Rays are big favorites there 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:32.240 at minus one seventy tonight against the Chicago White Sox. Listen. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:36.200 I have told you this time and time again. And 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.279 if you listen to my boys Tony Sencata and Benny 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.040 Riccardi on the DFS Lineup Block Show, they tell you 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.360 all the time as well. The Chicago White Sox are 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:49.560 decent against lefties, but are bad against rights. Okay, they 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.520 are absolutely the worst against right He's in Major League Baseball. 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.240 Chris Archer, with that strikeout upside, I think he is 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.800 a light out play tonight, I'll him even better than 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.440 Scherzer and the other guy. Listen every five days if 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.960 you hear the fantasy freestyle, you're gonna hear me give 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.760 out my man that I like so much because of 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.800 his k upside. But oh, does you have a great 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.920 matchup tonight I'm talking about Listen, if you watch, if 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.040 you listen to fantasy freestyle a lot. If you talk 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.040 to the spitting statistician, or for example, if you follow 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.720 me on Twitter at spitting speeds, you probably know this. 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:28.400 My man Robbie Ray for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Tonight he's 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.760 going off at ten thousand, which is very high. But listen, 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.240 this k upside that he has every time is just 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:36.760 you know, it's it cannot be messed with. And here's 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.960 the other thing. Tonight, he's against the Padres. The Padres 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:45.320 strike out second most in the major leagues. They have 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.720 struck out five twenty eight times as a team already. 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:52.040 So strike out picture, strike out team. I like it. 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.880 Robbie Ray, I put him down. I'm telling you Robbie 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:58.280 Ray will get eight or more strikeouts tonight. Also, the 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:03.120 Padres lowest run score total in the National League right 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:07.160 now at only one nineties seven so far this year. 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.520 So there you have it. Okay, I like Archer and 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.160 I like Robbie Ray. I liked them a lot. I 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.680 think that's the way you go to zig when other 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:18.720 people are zagging. With Max Scherzer tonight, here's what I 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.560 want to tell you that I want to move on 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.040 to a very interesting story because listen, we've talked about this, 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.080 We've even had poll questions up and by the way, 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.400 we got a great poll question up that relates to 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.320 this today on Fantasy Freestyle. If you want to follow 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.240 us at f n T S Y Radio on Twitter, 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.959 or you could always, like I said, ask me questions, 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.280 follow me at Spitting Speeds on Twitter. The poll question 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.040 we have up today is, uh, if you were commission 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.640 you know, major League Baseball for you know, a day, 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.320 a week, a year or whatever, what changes would you 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.680 consider making? Okay? And I asked that because we've talked 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.240 about some of these things, you know, throughout the season. 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.959 We've talked about the extra inning rules, you know, because 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.160 we've had a number of games go fifty sixteen seventeen 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.720 innings this season, and it sounds like it's a hot topic. 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.959 You know, the day after people are you know, sitting 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:09.800 up until one thirty two o'clock in the morning watching baseball. Um, 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:11.720 so is it the extra inning rules? Is it pace 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.840 of play? You know, We've talked about a lot of 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.400 things involving pace of play. I have some strategies coming 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.400 up for you. In a hot second, is an instant 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.280 replay or maybe it's time to you know, do away 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.199 with some of these formats, like the d H in 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.440 the National League, like the wild card format, you know 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.720 it should should the wild card be two wild card teams? 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.600 Should that be a one game playoff? Or should there 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.120 be other subtle tweets to that. Also, if you have 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.520 other ideas, let me know. I couldn't put up all 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.360 the options right, but this poll question it's inspired by 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.440 my man Gary Sheffield. Okay, Gary Sheffield did a nice 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.560 piece recently in the Players Tribune where he talked about 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.320 if he were the commissioner, the rules changes that he 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.280 would make, and I gotta get into it because some 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.760 of them might find very very interesting. The first one 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.320 comes off what we saw with that Bryce Harper brawl. 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.480 He said that listen, pictures these day is have no 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:05.240 fear of throwing at hitters. He says that either you know, 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.240 either hitters, if they charge a mount, should be allowed 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.439 to you know, brandish a weapon like their helmet or 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.440 the baseball bat. But what he also says is that 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.760 the suspension should be even. And what that means is 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.440 when a picture gets suspended for five games, he's only 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.280 missing one start. When a position when a when a 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:22.440 position player gets suspended five games, he's missing five games. Pause, 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.360 she's only missing that start. So maybe suspend pictures for 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.600 longer in that kind of situation. Okay, that's one idea. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.160 I'm not mad at Gary Sheffield for that. He's also 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.280 talking about he would do away with all these rules 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.679 around sliding. Remember we had that play a few years 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.480 back where Buster Posey got knocked out. There's the Chase 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.320 Utly play um against the Mets a few years back 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.400 as well. He's saying, listen, that is part of the game. 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.320 And if you're going in trying to break up a 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.000 double play, that's what's trying to do. Break up the 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.720 double play. If you're going in trying to score a run, 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.480 and now you he's saying, if you have to think 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.200 about you know, where you slide, how you do it, 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.319 he's saying that takes too much time. You shouldn't have 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.480 to think about it. It's you know, the saying goes, 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.480 it's a bang bang play, right, So he's saying, let 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.199 it be bang bang, And of course Gary Sheffield is 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.600 going to come out and talk about that. Listen. He 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.520 had a very interesting idea for extra innings. I don't 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.079 know if it's viable, but I think it is creative. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.920 And then it's not about putting runners on second base 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.760 or anything like that. What he's saying is that once 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.880 a game goes into extra innings, the manager should be 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:27.600 allowed to reshuffle their line up every inning and just 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:31.440 send up whatever hitters they want. That'll probably shorten the game. 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.160 Once you get into extra innings, you gotta face say, 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.440 like the three or four five hitters every single time. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.240 I thought that was very interesting. I don't know if 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:41.200 it's possible though. He also has things about instant replay Listen. 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.600 He's saying that he likes as a player for them 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.480 to get it right, but like, why do they have 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.360 to go to the you know why I have to 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.680 go over there under the hood. You know, why can't 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.520 the umpires just like have have an earpiece in their ear? 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.079 Right now? I hear Donnie Burns in my ear all 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.160 the time. It's called an I f B. Right, why 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.920 can't the umpires have that? I think that's really interesting. Okay, 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.160 he wants to get he wants to get away from 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.559 pace of play as well. He wants to speed that up. 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.040 He thinks the way to do it is have no 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.640 mound visits whatsoever. You know, we talk about the you know, 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.560 the planning, the preparation, the strategy, the scouting that goes 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.240 into it. Maybe you don't need mound visits. He's all saying, 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.240 don't step out of the box. Okay. He wants to 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.800 ban the defensive shift, okay, because the time it takes 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.959 for moving people over, you know, and I think that's interesting. 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.800 He also thinks, as we say here on the on 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.600 the poll question, that it's time to have the d 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.920 H in the National league. Listen, people of offense, that 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.559 will give you more offense with the d H in 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.040 the National League. He's also would go much harder on 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.360 P E D suspensions, you know, suspend them for a 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.520 full year right out the gate, take their paychecks away. 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:44.920 I think those a lot of those interesting ideas are interesting. 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:46.200 I want to hear what you guys think on the 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.520 poll question later on this week. I'm gonna give you 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.960 my platform if I was commissioner, because I got some 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.840 ideas about it too. All right, so checking on the polls. 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.000 We'll check back in on that later on when we 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.320 come back. Though, me and the love Doctor Donnie Burns, 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.800 we're gonna talk NBA and Big the E basketball, a 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.520 lot of basketball to talk. I'm your boy, Dame Martinez Speeds, 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.360 the spitting Statistician, and you're listening to the Fantasy Freestyle 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:22.800 here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.640 the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:29.160 I'm your boy, Dame Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician, holding 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.360 you down, giving you what you need to win your 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:35.000 league and win that cast, dropping stats over beats, a 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.959 mom man, Donnie Burns, the basketball correspondent, and love Doctor. 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.520 We're gonna get into some basketball a little bit later on, 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:42.920 but first I'll have to give you some news and 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.360 notes from around the NFL. First of all, and I 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.160 gotta tell you, guys, you're at the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:52.200 I can feel a palpable buzz and energy starting to 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.199 build for football. You know, O t a is going on. 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.880 We've got mini camps I think starting next week. But 0:13:58.000 --> 0:13:59.920 around here a lot of people are starting to talk 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.360 football and the excitement is growing. You can feel it. 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.480 So I gotta give you a couple of news and 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:10.000 notes around the NFL. Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams rookie 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.480 Mike Williams out of Clemson. He has a herniated disc 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.240 in his back. They are unsure if he is going 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.400 to make it for the start of training camp. This 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:22.280 really does hurt his value, especially in redraft leagues. He 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.520 was gonna have to really ball out and compete to 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.480 be on the same, you know, the same level as Keenan, Allen, Tyrolle, Williams. 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.640 You know, even guys like Hunter Henry in terms of 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.960 the past catchers on that roster. And like I said, 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.000 this time of year, which you usually get or what 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.920 I call the greatest shape of his life stories you want, 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.400 this is the anti greatest shape of his life. Also, 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.120 back issues they linger for a while, so that gives 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.520 me great pause when it comes to the rookie Mike 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:52.080 Williams for the Los Angeles Chargers. Also, we talked about 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.040 how Jeremy Macklin was released over the weekend by the 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.040 Kansas City Chiefs in a cap you know, cap saving move. 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.320 They lost ten million off the out there with MacLean salary. 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.520 He visited the Bills today. He said, if he gets 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:07.280 out of Buffalo, what a deal. To visit the Ravens 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.440 on Wednesday. It's very interesting. He's visiting the Bills today, 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.960 He's visiting the Ravens tomorrow. If you listen to Fantasy 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.560 Freestyle yesterday, you heard your boy Speed say the two 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.560 teams I thought would be a good fit for him, 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.080 where the Bills and the Ravens. And now we find 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.320 out those are the exact two teams that he goes to. 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.280 I don't know how many times I gotta tell you, guys, 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:31.080 before you start listening to your boys Speeds the spitting statistician. Also, 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.720 Jamal Charles says he thinks he can quote unquote be 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.640 the man in the Denver backfield, saying he wants to 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.840 come in and compete things he has yet to still 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.400 be cleared. And C. J. Anderson is back. I think 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:44.960 Charles will wind up being kind of that pass catching back, 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.520 that change of pace back, and that truly hurts the 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:51.640 second year kid, Davante Booker in that backfield. And now 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.960 big news coming out of New York today with the 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:59.440 j E. T S Jets, Jets. Jets. First they release um, 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.560 you know, year veteran and Pro Bowler linebacker David Harris. 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.680 So it makes me think, oh, looks like they're embracing you. Know, 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.840 the kind of full rebuild, you know, this kind of 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.360 let's get rid of all the veterans, started from the bottom, 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.240 this kind of like Cleveland Brown strategy, it sounds like. 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.800 And then late breaking Jet. Over the last hour, we 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.600 are getting reports from a number of places that are 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:25.040 saying that the Jets are also either going to trade 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:31.040 or release wide receiver Eric Decker. Okay Decker, who is 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.680 a Pro Bowl caliber receiver, remember was hurt for a 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.320 lot of last year, was not part of that locker 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.760 room beef that was going on with other wide receivers 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.880 and the defensive lineman. It looks like the Jets are 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:46.000 truly breaking it all down, as you know, species spitting 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.240 statistician as a special place in his heart for the 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.000 j E T S Jets, Jet Jets, and I have 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.520 been saying that I that's what I want them to do. 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.280 I think they're gonna break it down all together and 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.440 truly hashtag suck for Sam And what I mean by 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.640 that is Sam Donald, the quarter back out of U. 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.720 S C. Who I believe will be the number one 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.040 overall picking next year's draft. And it looks like the 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.720 Jets are trying to position themselves for them to be 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.800 in the running for that. It makes me wonder, though, 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.479 if you're a team like the Browns, like the Niners, 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.480 like the Bills, like the Ravens, and you're inquiring, would 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.960 you rather have Eric Decker or Jeremy Macklin. That sounds 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.840 like a possible poll question for the show tomorrow. But 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.600 I gotta tell you, And like, let's say, for example, 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.360 you're a team who used to love the San Diego Chargers, 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.240 and now that they're moving to l A, you're like 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.360 disown them and you're looking for another team. Let's just say, 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:39.080 do not do not look for the New York Jets. 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:42.200 This is probably the worst roster and football and they're 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.719 building it truly from the ground up. Over, let's keep 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:47.760 it moving here in the cipher on the fantasy free stuff. 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:49.680 I got my boy Donnie Burns with me on the 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:51.680 ones and twos. As you know, he is so hot 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.119 that he sweats steam. Listen a little bit of a 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:58.240 downtime here in the NBA Finals Game Game three back 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.320 in Cleveland tomorrow night. Will break it all down tomorrow, 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.760 don Burns. But don I have two kind of areas 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.360 I want to go real quick with with you. First 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.760 of all. I don't know if you heard this, but 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:14.320 there are multiple reports that there was a quote unquote 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:20.080 small smell of marijuana coming out of the Cleveland Cavaliers 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:23.840 locker room after Game two. I have so many questions 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.480 about this. Brian Winhurst reported it, a few other people 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:30.679 have reported it. Also. Remember we talked yesterday. Lebron did 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:34.280 not go to the podium. He entertained laa uh, you know, 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.160 reporters in the locker room and was a little salty, 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:41.800 was a little chippy. M I wonder, But then again, 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.400 also they were in California. They were in a state 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:47.040 where I guess if that's what they want to do, 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:49.800 you know, like it's legal for them to do so. 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.959 A lot of the reports are also saying that when 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.320 you get to the NBA Finals, the press, you know, 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:59.159 size the crew is like almost triples in size. And 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.159 some people say that they were quote unquote questionable media 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.719 dudes in the Cleveland locker room as well. So, Donnie, 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.840 I ask you, Okay, first of all, it's legal in California. 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:10.840 I guess what do you think is going on in 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:12.520 the locker room. You think they were just in so 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.720 much pain after Game two or they needed to chill 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:17.680 out and forget it. What do you think is going 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.080 on in there? And is this a story? I don't 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.320 really think it's a story. I mean, there's no way 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:27.520 that you know, a lebron led team would be you know, yeah, 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:31.119 And I'm you know, it's kind of unfair because you know, 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:33.359 but if they did, it would be legal. Yeah. But 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:35.960 in the same light, I feel like, you know, a 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.320 lot of people are gonna blame one specific person for 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:42.960 this and you know who we're thinking of, Yeah, because 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.159 of his you know, his party. Does he have initials? 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.800 He does? Okay? Okay? Is that a guy who also 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:50.720 I think had like a minus fourteen and went like 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:55.440 two for ten and okay, So you know, I think 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.320 it's kind of unfair. I don't think that that would 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.840 be a thing. But listen, here the thing. Here's the thing. 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:02.880
