I do want to 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.520 say something though, Johnny, before we get into the meat 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:40.680 of our show. And you know, we put the fun 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.080 and functional sports radio. You're gonna get speeds to starting 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.880 lineup and obviously the topics we talked about in speed Cipher. 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.080 But let me tell you something I don't usually talk 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.760 about soccer, but there was something really interesting in the 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.800 Champions League over the last two days. Okay, if you remember, 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.840 first of all, the dortmun team had um a bomb 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.280 by their team bus yesterday which delayed the game, and 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.720 one of their defenseman, Mark Batra, had to have surgery 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.720 for like a risk yet strapnel in his arm. It 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:11.200 was a real bad scene. Okay, And you know remember 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.240 a few weeks ago with the team, the Michigan team 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.720 plane had had an experience, you know, and that team 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.920 bonded it together. I'm gonna tell you Dortmund had the 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.240 opposite today. There was an own goal. This defenseman that 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.000 was missing maybe would have been a little bit different. 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.400 They looked really like kind of hungover, like they were affected. 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.160 In the first half. They made a run, but then 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.959 ultimately did lose to Monico three to two. I think 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.600 this is something that we should really talk about a 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.600 little more. I do not want, you know, explosions and 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.440 targeted attacks on teams. This is absolutely crazy. I know 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.560 my American Forces Radio Network listeners understand what I'm talking about. 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.720 Calling if you want, when we come back, we're gonna 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:47.800 go right into the ciphers.

My boy Donnie Burns on the ones 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.960 and twos. How does it feel to know that you're 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.240 being heard right now, you know, across the world, you 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.600 know who knows where right now? It feels great. You know, 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.120 everyone works real hard over here, and it's glad. I'm 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.240 glad that, uh, at least a lot of us are 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.960 getting hurt absolutely now, absolutely absolutely, And you know that's 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.120 what I wanted to say. I really think we need 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.200 to spend a minute on this. Uh. You know what 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.480 was an attack on the brusha Dortmund team yesterday? Okay, 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.200 they try to bomb them as they were walking to 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.680 their team bus, you know, and and and we talk 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.599 about rivalries here in the States. You know, Yankees, Red Sox, 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:27.680 Wild State, Michigan, Duke North Carolina. You know, but if 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.320 there's literally, like you know, sports terrorism going on in 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:33.640 other parts of the other parts of the world, and 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.120 to me, you know, I think that is the worst 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.200 of all kinds, you know, because what terrors and tries 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.560 to do is get you know, at our fabric of life, 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.000 you know, and put us in fear. And if we 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:46.280 can't gather to celebrate things like sports, uh, then we 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.400 really need to take a serious look at it. And 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.320 so I really hope that, um, you know, shout out 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.080 to the Brushia Dortmunt team and hopefully even though they 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.599 lost today that um, you know, that their spirits are 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.800 high and that everybody out there is okay. But I 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.120 do want to keep it moving here on the innes 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.080 Se Sports Radio Network and give you a few news 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.040 and notes from around Major League Baseballs, like give you 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.360 speeds is starting line up here on the Fantasy Freestyle. 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.640 First of all, J D. Martinez is coming back from 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.480 a list frank injury. He set to face live batting 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.640 practice today. Um he may join the team down in Tampa. 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.000 They're there on a road trip to join their team. 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:18.880 Be back and hit some more batting practice and then 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.840 maybe start a rehab stip. He is on schedule to 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.880 come back in early May. The Nationals put Stephen Drew 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.960 on the DFL. Guess why a hamstring injury, haven't I've 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.120 been talking about that all week long. Yet another hamstring 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.480 injury putting somebody from the d L. Matt Harvey. They're saying, however, 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.159 should be okay for his next start. He was running 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.599 to cover first base yesterday and guess what happened? Felt 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:44.040 a twinge where his hamstring. Another potential hamstring injury, clay 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.480 buck Holtz. The m r I reveals he has a 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.360 partial tear in his right flex or. Clay buck Halt 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.680 in that same game, He's now going to see Dr 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.599 James Andrews. I'm telling you, those are the worst three 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:58.560 words in all of sports. Dr James Andrews. Sam Dyson 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.960 blew another save opportunity for the Texas Rangers last night, 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.560 giving up three runs in the ninth inning. Earlier in 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.640 the week, I told you to go and pick up 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.960 Matt Bush, that he was a diamond in the rough. 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.360 I told you. I hope you did it before, because 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.000 now he's up to thirty seven percent owned in most leagues. 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.280 You should have been listening to Speeds the spitting statistician 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.760 earlier in the week. And also, you know two guys 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.080 to keep an eye on. Byron Buxton and Jonathan vr 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.920 both have struck out seventeen times in their team's first 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.600 seven games. That's something that had only been done one 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.280 since nineteen hundred. Now both of them doing it. Uh, 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:36.240 you know, k rates real high there. Um, they're gonna 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.560 have to fix that or else they will not be 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.839 still in their teams starting line up. Also, you may 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.000 have heard already, but yo n s sspitous. He's not 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.600 my n S, he's not our n s. He's yo ns. 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.600 He had three home runs last night in a fourteen 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.120 to four win against the Phillies. Terry Collins says he 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.320 is not surprised. But my question for you, and it's 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:54.960 a poll question on that f N T S Y 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.040 radio Twitter handle, is he the batting practice or home 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.480 run derby king? Is he the p and you would 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.680 most want to see or even pay money to to 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.400 see take batting practice or be in the home run derby? Okay, 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.719 so we got that poll up there right now. Joanna 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.040 Cespitis is definitely one of the options. Here are the 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.680 other options you can choose from one Giancarlo, don't call 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.280 me Mike Stanton. Okay, this is a guy who I 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.280 think if anybody could hit a six hundred foot home 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:19.880 run in the major leagues right now, it's gonna be 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:24.240 Giancarlos Stanton. Um is it Mark Trumbo? Remember that home 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.600 run derby in Kansas City a few years back where 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.560 Trumbo was hitting bombs. This guy in Baltimore continues to 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:34.000 hit bombs as he's someone or someone out of left 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.680 field for you? Is it each year Ros Suzuki? Each 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.800 Yearros Suzuki. You may not think about this, but he 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.440 can hit home runs and back if you've ever seen 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.160 him in batting practice. He can also put on a 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.040 show so hollowat us on that f N T S 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.640 Y radio Twitter, or me Dan Martinez at Spitting Speeds 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.440 on Twitter if you want to get in and vote 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.239 on those. Let's talk about a little bit of DFS action. Remember, 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:54.560 I tell you all the time the way to win 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.280 your leagues and win that cash is with starting pitching 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.760 in DFS. And I gave you some guys last night. 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.720 I said, I like Cole Hamil's last night at he 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.640 had a nice little game seven innings, pitch only gave 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:07.440 up one er and run struck out five got you 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.080 the quality start, would have been in the line for 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.360 the win. But like I said, Sam Dyson blew that 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.120 win for him. But you know if you rode with him, 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:15.680 you would just fine. Remember I also told you that 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.120 I still like Jamison tyone even though there was that 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.600 rain delay. He did go straight through six innings pitch 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.600 tour and runs four strikeouts. He got the quality start, 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.920 but but the Reds wound up winning that game six 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.160 to two, and the Reds shout out to the Reds 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.400 there now seven and two on the young season. I 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.800 also told you that the guy I liked later on 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.559 on the slate, if you looked a little bit further 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.840 down at last night, was Robbie Ray. Robbie Ray had 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.160 a nice game six and two thirds, scoreless ball with 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.400 eight strikeouts. I'm telling you I know what I'm talking about. 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.080 Hopefully you had Robbie Ray so so tonight. Tonight, I'm 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.839 looking at FanDuel prices and I don't understand some of these. 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.720 I have no idea why the two highest price guys 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.640 are as high as they are, I would fade John 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.640 Lackey at nine thousand dollars. He's not an ace. Same 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.319 for even right at eighty eight hundred against Baltimore. What 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.160 I like is Marcus Stroman at eight six hundred tonight 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.600 met He's still kind of riding high from that WBC high. 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.720 Showed k strikeout upside in his first start, getting five 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.520 strikeouts and six and the third innings, and I like 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.480 that matchup against Milwaukee. Milwaukee is a team that strikes 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:21.280 out a lot. I like, Uh, Marcus Stroman tonight at 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.520 eighty six hundred. Uh. The other thing I'll tell you 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.720 is I'm fading Yo Vanni Guillardo and the Seattle tonight 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.240 I got. I'm putting a lot of astros in my lineup. 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.360 Josel Tuve is at thirty one hundred. I think that's 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.600 the cheapest you're gonna see jose Al Tove all season long. 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.240 He's had a little bit of a slow start. I 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.960 acknowledged that, but he went to for five last night, 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.360 got his first RBI of the season, and then also 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.319 George Springer there. He has been hot. I think he's 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.400 part of what I'm calling the leadoff hitter Revolution. I 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:50.920 think I'm gonna be talking about that a little bit 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.600 more on the Fantasy Freestyle later on this week. Um 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.120 George Springer hot and I like him against Yo Vanni 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.439 guillard O tonight. What I want to do before we 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.480 go to break, talking about something I saw um that 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.959 you you may need to check out as it relates 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.600 to Wrigley Field. You know, they continue their renovations after 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.080 their World Series victory last year. Okay, and what they 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.360 did was they moved the bullpen to underneath the bleachers 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.360 in the outfield, and they added four rows down the baselines. Okay. 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:19.040 What that winds up doing is cutting square feet of 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.280 foul territory. Okay. Now, they are one of the three 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.320 stadiums with the three uh like least amount of foul 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.520 territory in the major leagues. And you would think, does 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.760 that really make a difference. I'm here to tell you 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.679 that it actually does. Okay, We've talked about this and 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.800 and here are the here are the three ballparks where 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.040 there's the least amount of foul territory. Okay, it's now 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.160 Wrigley Global Life Park, which is the home of the 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.120 Texas Rangers and Fenway Park obviously the home of the 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.040 Boston Red Sox, the team. That batting averages at those 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:52.080 parks are two six one. Contrast that with the three 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.000 most you know, most space of foul territory. Those are 0:10:56.120 --> 0:11:00.280 Tropicana Field for Tampa America in Detroit, and uh that 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.280 dumpster fire of a colosseum out there in Oakland that 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.720 we've talked about a little bit. The batting average there 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.120 is two forty nine collectively. Now listen, I admit that, 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:10.959 you know, the A's and the Rays are just not 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.520 as good offenses obviously as the Cubs in the Red Sox, 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.160 But I do think this has something to do with it, Okay, 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.840 And and you know historically that's been the case in Oakland. 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.200 You know, they had guys like Carnie Lansford out there before, 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.839 Johnny Damon out there before Jason john By. Nobody on 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.040 the Oakland A's has ever won a batting title. This 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.679 is something to consider moving forward, that ballpark factor. These 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.000 three ballparks out in Oakland, out in Detroit and Mountain 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.319 Tampa with a ton of foul territory. I like pictures 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:40.760 in those ballparks, and also, you know, consider the ballpark 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.599 you know, think about Atlanta. We don't know what that 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.920 ballpark factor is just yet. Although my homegirl, Jessica Klein Schman, 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.280 that is part of the Benny Riccardi Definitive Guide to 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.520 Fantasy Baseball right in a chapter Big Time Ballpark Factors. 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.880 She thinks that the new sun Trust Park in Atlanta 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.439 is not going to be a big difference. But I 0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.120 think you need to take the time to see how 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.640 these things play out in April. But man Tony Senkada 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.920 last hour in the DFS lineup Block said, don't invest 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.520 huge chunks of your bank roll in April. You gotta 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.839 see how these things play out. Think about even you know, 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.959 in Coors Field we were talking about fading them and 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.280 they had like a three two game yesterday. Whether it's 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.400 still called ball is still not traveling. You know, you 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.760 need to think about these things and consider. So why 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.959 don't you ease into the baseball season. That's what I'm 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.280 telling you. Don't go too hard with your bank roll, 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.640 so you could, you know, wait until you know these things, 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.160 and then you will win your league and win that cash. 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.280 You know, when we come back, speed Cipher is gonna 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.000 get it going. I got a couple of things I 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.480 want to ask you about. Mattie Ice has binge watching 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.000 some interesting things. We'll check in our polls.

Check it out. 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.320 News and notes from the NFL. Reports are indicating now 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.160 that the Cleveland Browns maybe split on their number one 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.440 overall draft pick between Miles Garrett edge Rusher out of 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.520 Texas A and m and Mitchell Mitchell, don't call me 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.320 Mitch Trabrinsky, the quarterback of North Carolina at number one. 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:00.800 I kind of think this is the time of year 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.400 where a lot of smoke screens happened. People are trying 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:05.000 to you know, a lot of fake news out there, 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.320 a lot of disinformation. Um, the Rams are going to 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.640 exercise the option on Aaron Donald, his fifth year rookie option. 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.160 Of course, PFF has his raded. Has Aaron Donald rated 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.920 as the best defensive player in the NFL? Odds are 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.840 we're hearing that the Jets will trade defensive lineman Sheldon 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.440 Richardson either before or during the draft. Remember, the Jets 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.560 are looking to accumulate talent as they rebuild and uh, 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:28.640 you know, reset the tone and the culture of that 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.760 locker room. Sheldon Richardson has had some character concerns and 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.200 news out of St. Louis excuse me not sing Louis. 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:38.120 Los Angeles Rams James Laronitis is to retire after eight 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.640 years in the NFL. It's been a solid linebacker in 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:42.840 his eight year career is leaving the game at only 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:47.400 age thirty. So check it out. Um, Donnie, I don't 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:48.760 know if you saw a but your n As Sesspitous 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.240 hit not one, not too but three home runs last 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.360 night and it made me think, is he the guy 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.560 that people want to see maybe in a batting practice scenario, 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.040 in a home run derby scenario. So we put that 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.280 pole question up right now, and right now, of the 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.200 people out there that are voted, they're saying, actually, is 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.400 Giancarlo Stanton? I can see that. I think people are 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.760 sleeping on each row only eight percent. I bet each 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.680 Row actually could win a home run derby because he's 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.000 so you know, kind of compact focused and bat on 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.400 ball kind of thing that he I've seen him in 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.880 batting practice really put on the show. But of course, 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.680 with the recency bias R n Assesspodic and Giancarlo Stanton 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.480 getting a lot of the votes, there are only one percent. 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:30.680 With Mark Trumbull, I think people are forgetting about the 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.800 bombs that he can hit. There's other people out there, 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:35.800 you know, I'm a big Yankee fan. Maybe Aaron Judge 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.840 could join the conversation there. But the other pole question 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:40.840 that I have up there on the F and T 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.640 s Y radio Twitter handle that I think is interesting, 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.480 is uh? I told you Mattie Ice is binge watching 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.160 some interesting things. You know what he's watching over and 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:54.280 over and over again, Donnie Burns. He's watching last year's 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.000 Super Bowl with the Atlanta Falcons blew a huge third 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.560 quarter lead and lost it in overtime. Quotes from Mattie Ice. 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.400 He says, I watched it the day after, I watched 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.080 it two days after, and then I watched it three 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.120 days after. For me, it was one of those things 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:08.680 I want to kind of be able to deal with 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.280 it appropriately. Maybe that's different for everybody. Some people buried away. 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.480 For me, it was like, I let's watch it, you know. 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:17.400 And then, you know a lot of people were talking 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.200 about the play calling towards the end of that Super Bowl, 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.159 were we're the Falcons a little too aggresive? Should they 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.200 have run the ball, especially after that ball to Julio 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.359 Jones would put them on the twenty two yard line 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:31.080 and in field goal range. But listen, Mattie Ice is saying, he's, 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.359 you know, he's backing up his play caller. Uh. You 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.159 know Shanahan who was now obviously the head coach out 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.840 there in San Francisco. But um, he's saying, listen, we 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:41.840 would have loved to have gotten a different result. But 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.199 if you're gonna tell me we do the same thing 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.960 and get the same result, obviously we do something different. 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.240 But you gotta believe in what you're doing. And that's 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.520 the way we approached it all year. We're aggressive the 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.760 entire year. That's not gonna change. I love that approach. 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:55.760 And listen, something went right for him right he was 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.280 the m v P of the league for yards thirty 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.320 eight touched. But I ask you on that f N 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:06.000 T s Y Radio Twitter handle right now, what would 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.280 you do in that situation? Are you someone more who 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.920 would want to watch it over and over again like 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.160 Maddie Ice, or you someone who's like not, I don't 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:15.560 need to see that. You know, they talk about like 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.680 burying the game film at times. I don't know. I 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:20.639 think I'm someone who would not want to watch it, 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:22.720 you know, over and over again. But I would watch it. 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:24.840 I would not shy away from it. What do you think, 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.119 Donnie Burns in a situation like this, you know what 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.040 your a AU team. You know you guys get blown 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.119 out by fifty. Are you really going hard on it? 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:32.960 Are you just kind of onto the next one? Yeah? 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:35.399 I'm not. I'm not rewatching that stuff. And you know, Maddie, 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.440 Maddie Ice is going to be joining a long line 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.240 of people who see Tom Brady in their nightmares. It's 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:42.520 not like, you know, it's not anything crazy. Tom Brady 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.600 is one of the greatest ever play. So I wouldn't 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:47.960 be rewatching it though. But like I said, he just 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.760 joined a long line of people that hate playing against 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.119 Tom Brady. Yeah, I know, betting against Tom Brady and 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:56.200 Bill Belichick is never the way. All right, Well, we'll 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.600 find out, you know what, you uh, maybe next year 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.320 and we do speeds versus the kids, will see how 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.880 your picks go. All right there, Donny, sounds good? Alright, cool, 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:04.240
