Speaker 1: it is. It should boy, Dane Martinez a k A.
Speaker 1: Speeds a k A to Spitting Statistician a k A.
Speaker 1: The stable Genius and vocal Minority. And you are listening
Speaker 1: to another episode of the Fantasy Freestyle right here on
Speaker 1: the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Networks, Beeds the spitting
Speaker 1: Statistician holding it down for you. We got a big
Speaker 1: show for you. It's the middle of June, right so
Speaker 1: you would think this is a slow time in the NFL.
Speaker 1: You know, schedule. We finished with the NBA Championship. Shout
Speaker 1: out to Golden State Warriors. They are parading today. Shout
Speaker 1: out to the Washington Capitals. They are parading array today.
Speaker 1: A man Alex Ovechkin, you know, like chilling with the
Speaker 1: cup for like forty eight straight hours, partying with the
Speaker 1: cup forty eight straight hours, So shout out to him.
Speaker 1: But listen, we still got a lot to discuss. I've
Speaker 1: been giving you my division by division previews. We're gonna
Speaker 1: cracking with the NFC North today. I'll tell you a
Speaker 1: little bit about the news and notes going around there
Speaker 1: in just a second. We're also going to get into
Speaker 1: baseball listen show. Hey, oh, Tony goes down, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that. Um. Also, we put the fun in functional
Speaker 1: sports radio as you know. Okay, we do the rapping
Speaker 1: athletes all the time. We got a new one for you.
Speaker 1: Apparently there maybe some Lakers rookie drama or maybe it's
Speaker 1: just jokes. Will get into that with the stats over
Speaker 1: beat Cipher. I got a poll question up for you
Speaker 1: as well. I don't know if you see this link
Speaker 1: on my timeline. There was a um I think it
Speaker 1: was like Minnesota high school championship baseball game. Okay, for
Speaker 1: the last out, guy strikes out, but the picture apparently
Speaker 1: was his good friend, right, so the whole team wants
Speaker 1: to mob the mound, uh facing, you know, to celebrate
Speaker 1: with the picture, and because it was his friend, he
Speaker 1: did not celebrate with the team. Instead of he what
Speaker 1: he does is he goes and he hugs the guy
Speaker 1: on the other team that he just struck out to
Speaker 1: win a state championship. Great sportsmanship or bad teammate. That's
Speaker 1: the whole question. We got up there. I would love
Speaker 1: to get your insight after you see that video. What's
Speaker 1: on my timeline timeline holler at me at spitting speeds
Speaker 1: on the status of a beach Sipher if you want
Speaker 1: to get with that. Alright, big show for you today.
Speaker 1: Let's start with um the NFL, because there are definitely
Speaker 1: some stories since we last spoke. Okay, I want to
Speaker 1: cover a couple of things. First of all, today is
Speaker 1: the day Andrew Luck is throwing a football again. Um,
Speaker 1: I've been like five hundred and thirty some odd days
Speaker 1: and he's finally throwing up football, albeit a high school
Speaker 1: regulation football. Still not the duke, but that's still got
Speaker 1: to be a positive sign for Andrew Luck, for the Colts,
Speaker 1: and for fantasy owners, and also for fantasy owners of
Speaker 1: like t Y Hilton as well. Right, because all things
Speaker 1: Indie rest with Andrew Luck. If you are up all
Speaker 1: night to get Lucky, you liked what you saw today,
Speaker 1: so that is really important since last I talked to you, guys. Also,
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman got popped for p E d S. All right,
Speaker 1: He's gonna miss four game games first four games for
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and as you know, if you're part of
Speaker 1: the stats over beat cipher. You already know Speeds is
Speaker 1: looking for every chance to possibly dance on the grave
Speaker 1: of the New England Patriots. But here's what I'll say.
Speaker 1: Remember that drama last year and how it's centered around
Speaker 1: Alex Guerrero treating more players on the Patriots than just
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. How he was gonna be treating you know,
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski, how he was gonna be treating you know,
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman. Ow. You know, Bill Belichick wanted to be
Speaker 1: able to control the narrative and didn't want those outside
Speaker 1: forces because he couldn't trust those outside forces, you know.
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman said, Oh yeah, Alex Garella has really been
Speaker 1: helping with my longevity with his rehab. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you right now, I'm looking at this TB twelve Jim.
Speaker 1: Maybe they're just on the new hot ish when it
Speaker 1: comes to the next steroids. Right, this is kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: Have you heard that, Like scientists are testing Julian Edelman
Speaker 1: sample to really find out and understand what it was
Speaker 1: is that failed the test. Alex Guerrero is just on
Speaker 1: the new thing. Okay, you just evolved just like the
Speaker 1: cream and the clear was with the Balco. You know,
Speaker 1: the criminals always stay ahead of the tests. Alex Guerrero just,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, ahead of the test and had the
Speaker 1: new thing. Maybe it's that those new super avocados, those
Speaker 1: new super as i e. Berries. Did you have it
Speaker 1: all the water and the ugs and the avocados. Maybe
Speaker 1: there's something special in there that tripped up the test.
Speaker 1: I think there is something. I'm trying to connect the
Speaker 1: dots here, But you're always a product of who you
Speaker 1: run in circles with. When Robinson Canoe got popped for
Speaker 1: eighty games on P E. D S earlier this season,
Speaker 1: people are like, oh, yeah, he hangs out with Melky Cabrera.
Speaker 1: He hung out with a rod Well. Now Julian Edelman
Speaker 1: gets popped, so shouldn't we look at his training crew.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady forty one years old, never hurt cheating time
Speaker 1: with Alex Guerrero. MM from a fantasy standpoint, though, listen,
Speaker 1: Malcolm Mitchell, you bump him up, Chris Hogan bumps up
Speaker 1: maybe to a wide receiver one, you know, in this
Speaker 1: time frame in the first four weeks. But I would
Speaker 1: keep an eye on Jordan Matthews as well. This is
Speaker 1: a guy who could benefit from a change of scenery
Speaker 1: in New England and now maybe get some opportunity at
Speaker 1: least early in the season. With Julian Edelman gone. You know,
Speaker 1: mandatory mini camps are starting this week. There are a
Speaker 1: number of people making news because they are not showing up.
Speaker 1: Julio Jones even though he still has three years on
Speaker 1: his deal. Talk about Aaron Donald, talk about Khalil Mack
Speaker 1: and others. None of this really matters to me, Okay,
Speaker 1: David Johnson not showing up, Tyler Lauan not showing up,
Speaker 1: None of this really matters to me. Except for Earl Thomas.
Speaker 1: I think this is interesting. Earl Thomas. It looks like
Speaker 1: he's trying to force his way out of Seattle. If
Speaker 1: you want to know the truth, and so we should,
Speaker 1: you know, all hold our heads, hold our heads, pour
Speaker 1: a little bit out for the Legion of Boom. They're done.
Speaker 1: Seahawks are done, all right, listen, Richard Sherman in the division.
Speaker 1: But in San Francisco, Cam Chancellor may never play again
Speaker 1: with mech in spine injury, something like that. Earl Thomas
Speaker 1: trying to force his way out. They lose Michael Bennett
Speaker 1: this year as well. You know, this is transitioning. I
Speaker 1: think they are kind of on a down part of
Speaker 1: their cycle. They're gonna milk whatever they can out of
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in the next couple of years, and he
Speaker 1: should get m v P votes. But unfortunately the Seattle
Speaker 1: Seahawks on the decline in the NFC West, as the
Speaker 1: San Francisco Forty in the Los Angeles Rams are ascending
Speaker 1: as it were. Other than that, listen, I don't buy
Speaker 1: into a lot of these news and notes. You know,
Speaker 1: this guy is in the best shape of his life.
Speaker 1: This guy looks spry in camp Um because everybody's in
Speaker 1: the best shape of their life in June. You know
Speaker 1: what I look for all the people that are, you know,
Speaker 1: having concerns, the people that are not in the best
Speaker 1: shape of their life. That's where I get cause for pause.
Speaker 1: And the one interesting one that I found recently Mike Gasicki,
Speaker 1: the rookie tight end in Miami at a Penn State.
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks this guy is gonna be such a matchup Nightmare.
Speaker 1: Might be the rare tight end that can pop in
Speaker 1: the first year. No, no, no, I don't think so. Okay,
Speaker 1: I tell you guys all the time about rookie tight ends,
Speaker 1: how they have to learn an entirely new blocking scheme
Speaker 1: and the route tree. And now it is very hard
Speaker 1: for early tight ends, first year tight ends to really
Speaker 1: pop off. Evan Ingram was an exception last year, and
Speaker 1: I believe that is mostly because they lost Brandon Marshall,
Speaker 1: they lost Odell Beckham, they lost Stirling Shepherd. For a
Speaker 1: portion of time, he was the only man left standing. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I want no part of my gasiki anyway. But
Speaker 1: now when he said, we hear reports that he looks
Speaker 1: lost at midicamp to pick up exactly what I say,
Speaker 1: the schemes in the blocking pause for pause, Okay, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you that right now. But here's the other thing.
Speaker 1: We go division by division, okay, and I want to
Speaker 1: give you my previews. This is kind of the segments
Speaker 1: last year. Or I gave you that I really like
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles to make it at least to the
Speaker 1: NFC Championship Game last year. This is when last year
Speaker 1: in baseball, I gave you who how I like the
Speaker 1: Houston Astros to get to at least the a LCS. Right,
Speaker 1: So when I give you teams in this overs and
Speaker 1: unders with the season win totals. You gotta book it, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, and and to be quite honest,
Speaker 1: all so check it out going over to my bookie
Speaker 1: dot ag. This is where they have the over unders
Speaker 1: on the season win totals. I'm giving you locks. Okay.
Speaker 1: Last week in the a f C North, I gave
Speaker 1: you a lock of the Baltimore Ravens being under eight wins.
Speaker 1: I have another one for the NFC North that I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you right now. But you go on over
Speaker 1: to my bookie dot a G and to the promo
Speaker 1: code Fantasy f n T s Y you'll get aft
Speaker 1: deposit bonus. Tell me boy Speeds the pitt and statistician
Speaker 1: sent you. Let's dive on in here to the NFC North. Listen,
Speaker 1: a lot of people know that this division is going
Speaker 1: to come down to the Minnesota Vikings and the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. Right the Vikings with that strong defense, signing
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, you know, the return of Aaron Rodgers in
Speaker 1: Green Bay. So we'll get into them in a hot second.
Speaker 1: Let's first talk about some of these other teams. First team,
Speaker 1: I want to get into the Chicago Bears. Everybody's darling.
Speaker 1: Everybody loves the Chicago Bears this year. And let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. I liked them, but I don't love them. Okay.
Speaker 1: I like what Matt Nagy could do for that offense,
Speaker 1: but I don't love it. I like the potential of
Speaker 1: Mr Bisky to take a step forward, but I don't
Speaker 1: love it. I like them bringing in Allen Robinson, Taylor Gabriel,
Speaker 1: Trey Burton. I like all of those things. Remember, this
Speaker 1: is a team that has been kind of a doormat
Speaker 1: for years. Can they take a step and still not
Speaker 1: be the over? The line is set right now in
Speaker 1: my bookie dot a g at six and a half
Speaker 1: for the Bears. I can see them very easily taking
Speaker 1: a step forward and still being six and ten. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So I would pass on this
Speaker 1: over under line. I will tell you this my diamond
Speaker 1: in the rough for this team though, it is Trey Burton.
Speaker 1: I love Trey Burton. They signed him money talks, Okay,
Speaker 1: they signed Trey Burton to a four year, thirty two
Speaker 1: million dollar contract. If you know about Matt Nage Skiing,
Speaker 1: he was the offensive coordinator in Kansas City they are
Speaker 1: trying to bring that offense over to Chicago. Okay, And
Speaker 1: in that offense there was one of the top tight
Speaker 1: ends in the game in Travis Kelsey. They went out
Speaker 1: and got Trey Burton to play the Travis Kelsey role
Speaker 1: in this offense has a similar kind of size, speed combo.
Speaker 1: I like Trey Burton. A lot of people have him,
Speaker 1: you know, going far back, you know, like why tight
Speaker 1: end like fourteen, fifteen sixteen. I think Trey Burton can
Speaker 1: be a tight end one. Okay, I think he can
Speaker 1: be a back end tight end one in this offense.
Speaker 1: He is a person who could pop. He is a
Speaker 1: diamond in the rough from your boys, spitting seeds, feeds
Speaker 1: on the Bears for foul gazes, though, I'll take Jordan Howard,
Speaker 1: Jordan how It's a fool gaze to me for the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, because listen, this offense is evolving. This offense
Speaker 1: is evolving under Matt Nagie. They brought in game breakers,
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson, more dynamic, Trey Burton, more dynamic, Tyler Gabriel
Speaker 1: more dynamic, Trek Cohen in that lineup, more dynamic. They
Speaker 1: draft the kid Anthony Miller. Even I think this offense
Speaker 1: is evolving away from what Jordan Howard brought them in
Speaker 1: the early downs. I see him as maybe a back
Speaker 1: end r B two. I would not take him in
Speaker 1: the top fifth as a top fifteen running back this year.
Speaker 1: I don't think he gets a thousand yards. I think
Speaker 1: this moves more to tra Bisky and the passing game.
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard to me, Gazzy. When you look at their schedule,
Speaker 1: they finished with back to back road games. They only
Speaker 1: have one home game in December. I don't think their
Speaker 1: schedule is that good. Easy it could. They could start
Speaker 1: maybe strong, and then I could see them hitting tough
Speaker 1: times in the second half of the season. Okay, so
Speaker 1: I would not take this over. I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people are on the Bears, but to me, they're
Speaker 1: just the third best team in this division. All right,
Speaker 1: Maybe they go six and ten, maybe they go seven
Speaker 1: and nine, but I'm staying away. Here's the here's the
Speaker 1: bet I'll tell you right now. Going over to my
Speaker 1: bookie dot A G and to the promo code fn
Speaker 1: T s Y, here's my lock for the NFC North,
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions over under his eight wins. That means
Speaker 1: the Lions would have to go nine and seven to
Speaker 1: cash that over. Moreover, if I take the under, which
Speaker 1: I am, they would have to win nine games to
Speaker 1: have me lose this bet. That is not going to
Speaker 1: happen in this division where everybody loves the Vikings, everyone
Speaker 1: loves the returning Aaron Rodgers of Green Bay. People are
Speaker 1: high on the ascending Bears. I'll take the team that
Speaker 1: has a new coach and has maybe the worst defense
Speaker 1: in the entire and NFL, or at least in the NFC.
Speaker 1: This defense is not good, right, and they're gonna try
Speaker 1: and outscore people. I don't know if they're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to do that. Jim Bob Cooder and Matt Stafford
Speaker 1: form a nice little combo, but with some of the
Speaker 1: defenses in this division, specifically Minnesota, will they be able
Speaker 1: to outscore Green Bay? I don't know this over under
Speaker 1: at eight, I'm taking the under on the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1: My diamond and the rough though here is LGBT LA
Speaker 1: Garrett Blunt. I am fighting for LGBT rights and this
Speaker 1: is my third year in a row doing so okay,
Speaker 1: this guy is going to, in my opinion, hold off
Speaker 1: carry on Johnson for early down work. We know this
Speaker 1: guy can get it done in the red zone. This
Speaker 1: is a guy who's only a year or two removed
Speaker 1: for scoring seventeen or eighteen touchdowns with the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions have never had that power running back.
Speaker 1: They've been going at it with Riddick and Aboulah. They've
Speaker 1: been trying to get things out of joyke Bell of
Speaker 1: Zack Zenter. They have never had a true thumper that
Speaker 1: Lagarrett Blunt brings. Okay, if Detroit ever does get up,
Speaker 1: they now have a guy they consulted away and I
Speaker 1: think Legarrett Blunt is that guy. I think he's still
Speaker 1: a decent bet. You know, some people are predicting him
Speaker 1: for four or five six touchdowns. I think it's more
Speaker 1: than the neighbor of eight nine and that could return
Speaker 1: some value. By contrast, the fugazi is Amabdula. I don't
Speaker 1: even know that he's going to be on this roster
Speaker 1: by the time we hit week one. Okay, because remember
Speaker 1: have that Lagarrett Blunt. You know, you keep in THEO
Speaker 1: Riddick and they went out and drafted the kid out
Speaker 1: of Auburn and carry on Johnson, and there's been a
Speaker 1: lot of buzz about him. I think Amabdullah is the
Speaker 1: kid who's left without a chair when the music stops.
Speaker 1: And all the more reason that this team is going
Speaker 1: to be a fugazi, that they're the under or this division. Okay,
Speaker 1: so now we look at the big boys. Now we
Speaker 1: look at the big boys. When I look at the
Speaker 1: teams that are most likely to do work and go
Speaker 1: to the playoffs from the NFC North, let's start in
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Let's start in Green Bay where the Packers
Speaker 1: over under his ten. That's real high to me. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's real high. And here's the only reason I'm gonna
Speaker 1: stay away from this team. Aaron Rodgers. You know, the
Speaker 1: collar bone kind of scares me. Remember about four years ago. Also,
Speaker 1: he missed some time. He's he's fought through injuries before.
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit worried about Aaron Rodgers. He's not
Speaker 1: gonna be on any of my fantasy teams this year
Speaker 1: because I'm not investing the draft capital that it would
Speaker 1: take to get him in like the second or third round.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna see me do that. You're gonna see
Speaker 1: me waiting on quarterback. Okay, That's what I've always told
Speaker 1: everybody here on the stats over beat Cipher to wait
Speaker 1: on quarterback. So I'm not gonna have any shares of
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. And relatively speaking, he's a fool gazy to
Speaker 1: me because how is he gonna return value for you? Guy?
Speaker 1: I do love though I love Davante Adams. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now, a lot of people are hiring
Speaker 1: Davontae Adams. I've seen Davante Adams go as wide receiver seven,
Speaker 1: you know, stuff like that. I think Davante Adams can
Speaker 1: fully break out and be a top five wide receiver.
Speaker 1: I'll take Devontae Adams over Julio Jones this year, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll take I'll take him over Keenan Allen this year. Okay. Um.
Speaker 1: I think he's the last guy standing in Green Bay.
Speaker 1: And you know, unlike the fantasy herds that I talk about,
Speaker 1: this is the guy who's gonna be more of a
Speaker 1: target monster allah DeAndre Hopkins. He's always been a touchdown
Speaker 1: threat in the red zone. Yeah, they got Jimmy Graham,
Speaker 1: but I don't care. I can see de um DeVante
Speaker 1: Adams with over nine d catches over yards and double
Speaker 1: digit touchdowns, which would make him wide receiver four or
Speaker 1: five and I like that. I like it a lot. Okay. Also,
Speaker 1: Packers have a good schedule, but I'm still I don't know.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers gives me a little bit of cause for
Speaker 1: Paul's I'll tell you when we come back on the
Speaker 1: other side of the break if I'm going with Minnesota
Speaker 1: or Green Bay in the NFC North, and then we'll
Speaker 1: turn arts tension over to baseball. I'll tell you about
Speaker 1: how they should treat the show. Hey, oh, Tawny injury
Speaker 1: and um some interesting news about to be quite honest, Uh,
Speaker 1: different ways of using technology in baseball, So we'll get
Speaker 1: into that. I'll finish up the NFC North. We'll keep
Speaker 1: it going here with the Stats over Beat Psipher, Richard Boyd,
Speaker 1: Dame Martinez Speeds. It's been Statistician. We are off and

Speaker 1: saying the oh, they didn't have Chris Paul. They had,
Speaker 1: they had. The Clippers had Chris Paul in the last
Speaker 1: five years and was going in the first second round
Speaker 1: in the playoffs every year. So I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear the Christmas Chris full top five point credible time. No.
Speaker 1: I think Chris Paul's arguably the best point guard in
Speaker 1: the past decade. So I think I think he could.

Speaker 1: a Houston Rocket fan harassing I used to curry after
Speaker 1: the game, so I asked you, is it cool to
Speaker 1: get in the face of a player's wife after a game?
Speaker 1: He made references to you know about punching me in
Speaker 1: the gut, and he didn't say that. He said, Luis,
Speaker 1: it's like a punch of the gut, isn't it. He
Speaker 1: said something about her gut if she's right now. So
Speaker 1: she's like, God, I didn't know that. Whatever hit no one,
Speaker 1: it gets cool. It's saying the guy's wife. Week Days,
Speaker 1: four p m. Eastern one pm Pacific only on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome to New York City, Welcome
Speaker 1: to New YONK said, Hey, yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 1: You know, Speeds is holding it down for the city
Speaker 1: right here to spitting statistician worn to raise in the
Speaker 1: Bronx and bringing it to you live and direct, right
Speaker 1: here in Studio thirty four Rock and Riley's Midtown Manhattan.
Speaker 1: It's the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: I'm was talking about the NFC North Okay. I told
Speaker 1: you how I like Trey Burton on the Bears. I
Speaker 1: told you how I like that underplay for the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1: I do not understand how they're over under for the
Speaker 1: season is eight wins. You're telling me if I take
Speaker 1: the under on Detroit, I don't. I only lose if
Speaker 1: they go nine and seven. That ain't happening, all right,
Speaker 1: that's my lock right there. I told you going over
Speaker 1: to my bookie dot a G and put that in.
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm telling you I think it's Minnesota is
Speaker 1: gonna take this division. I like Minnesota. Listen, this is
Speaker 1: a team that was in the NFC Championship Game last year. Right,
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about, Oh they might be able to hold
Speaker 1: Super Bowl blah blah blah. They fell flat in Philly
Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship game, but they got better how
Speaker 1: you ask it got better by the return of Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook at running back. They got better, even though I
Speaker 1: actually think it's more originally better, unlike how some people
Speaker 1: are in love with this Kirk Cousins move. I think
Speaker 1: it's marginally better than case Kingdom right. They also get
Speaker 1: better on defense. First round traffick Mike Hughes to an
Speaker 1: already strong secondary, Sheldon Richardson up front to join with
Speaker 1: Lynval Joseph to create space for Danielle Hunter and Everson
Speaker 1: Griffin on the edges. This is a defense that was
Speaker 1: at top like ten fantasy defense gave up the least
Speaker 1: point per game in the NFL. So I'm like fifteen
Speaker 1: points a game and only didn't score a single defensive touchdown.
Speaker 1: That's gonna regress back positively. Also for fantasy defenses out there,
Speaker 1: I like the Minnesota Vikings. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: My diamond and the rough from this team, though always
Speaker 1: kind of underrated, and it's my man, Kyle Rudolph Kyle
Speaker 1: Rudolph the red zone rein deer. Okay, this is the
Speaker 1: guy that I think is actually tight end or behind
Speaker 1: the big three. You give me zach Ert and Rob
Speaker 1: Gronkowski and Travis Elsie. I think Kyle Rudolph is actually
Speaker 1: tight end four. I've seen Delaney Walker there, Nope. I've
Speaker 1: seen Evan Ingram there, Nope. I'll be willing to bet
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph does better than all of them. He's a
Speaker 1: threat in the red zone. We know that. You know
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins loves the tight end as well. Back in
Speaker 1: Washington he did. I think Kyle Rudolph sets up to
Speaker 1: be a top five tight end. So he's my diamond
Speaker 1: in the rough for the Minnesota Vikings. A fooze side. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have many shares with Kirk Cousins. I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be overdrafted. People think he's going as
Speaker 1: like QB like seven. That's too much for me. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna continue to wait on quarterback and as I've
Speaker 1: told you before, be completely happy at eleven, twelve, thirteen
Speaker 1: with Rivers, Stafford, Mahomes. Give me Rivers, Stafford and Mahomes,
Speaker 1: you can go ahead. And draft Kirk Cousins rounds earlier. Okay.
Speaker 1: The other guy, relatively speaking, and I hate to say
Speaker 1: this because I love him. He's one of my favorite
Speaker 1: nicknames all last season, and it's Adam. I got a feeling. Listen.
Speaker 1: I like Adam Healing, Okay, I gotta feeling that a
Speaker 1: teen's gonna be a good year, that a teen's gonna
Speaker 1: be a good good year. But he's not a wide
Speaker 1: receiver one. Okay. He's like wide receiver thirteen fourteen. He's
Speaker 1: not wide receiver eight or nine. Okay. Everything went right
Speaker 1: for Adam Feeling, including some weeks where Stefon digs can
Speaker 1: you digs? It was not there for Minnesota. So relatively speaking,
Speaker 1: people are gonna go ham on Adam Feeling. He's not
Speaker 1: gonna be on many of my teams. I like him,
Speaker 1: but I think he's I'd love him as my wide
Speaker 1: receiver too, not as a back end wide receiver one. Okay.
Speaker 1: The schedule is not bad for Minnesota either, even though
Speaker 1: it is a first place schedule. I like Minnesota to
Speaker 1: win about eleven games they're over under his ten. I
Speaker 1: would lean over on this one, but I do like
Speaker 1: Minnesota to make it Remember I told you when I
Speaker 1: call the team to make it to the championship game,
Speaker 1: lock it up. And I think Minnesota returns to the
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game this year. They are might pick to
Speaker 1: win the NFC North. Get it right now when you
Speaker 1: can at my bookie dot a g all right, let's
Speaker 1: switch over to baseball real quick, because I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you a couple of things. One, we're doing the Face
Speaker 1: of Baseball polls on Rhodo Experts in the morning here
Speaker 1: in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You can wake up
Speaker 1: early with me. We cocka doodle do it every Monday
Speaker 1: through Friday from seven to nine am. Me l hooray.
Speaker 1: They funked the CIA F s w A Hall of
Speaker 1: Famer Scott Angle, okay, the all in kid Jake Seey.
Speaker 1: And we're doing this poll right now to see or
Speaker 1: brackets to see who was the face of baseball? Okay,
Speaker 1: and right now we got an interesting matchup going on.
Speaker 1: I got the sixth seed, um Mike Stanton Gencarlo Stanton
Speaker 1: against the eleven seed Mookie Bets. It's kind of close
Speaker 1: going up on my timeline right now on Twitter at
Speaker 1: Spitting Speeds. Make your voice heard in our face of
Speaker 1: baseball brackets. You know how we always do that here
Speaker 1: in the Fantasy Freestyle. We did best Sports movie of
Speaker 1: all time, Best TV show of all time. You know
Speaker 1: how we like the brackets out there. So go on
Speaker 1: and vote this all right, Listen, The biggest news for
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball since we last spoke here in the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle is the injury to show heel Tani. Okay,
Speaker 1: it looks like he's going down. Um, it looks like
Speaker 1: he's likely to have Tommy John surgery. If so, he's
Speaker 1: gonna miss the rest of this year and next year.
Speaker 1: What I find interesting is how they kind of backpedaled
Speaker 1: a little bit from this. Okay. Reports came out early yesterday.
Speaker 1: Pedro Gomezer was reporting that he likely is needs Tommy
Speaker 1: John surgery, and the internet went crazy, and the Angels
Speaker 1: are kind of like, Nah, we're staying with the same diagnosis.
Speaker 1: There's a chance we're just gonna rest him. There's a
Speaker 1: chance he might be able to pitch and hit again
Speaker 1: later this year. Why are we risking it with Shohio Toni.
Speaker 1: If you're the Angels, why are you not just letting
Speaker 1: him have the surgery right now and rest up, like,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Have this cloud hang over
Speaker 1: your head? I said the same thing about Massa hero
Speaker 1: to knock up when he was had his UCL hanging
Speaker 1: by a thread, and he did instead like rest and
Speaker 1: the platelets and the blood spinning and all that. And
Speaker 1: I can't front. It's worked a little bit. It's worked
Speaker 1: so far from Tanaka. But any given start, they were
Speaker 1: already babying this guy. Oh Tanni, he was going in
Speaker 1: like a six man rotation. What are you gonna do
Speaker 1: treating with kid gloves for the next five years? You know,
Speaker 1: it may be a better course of action. The kid
Speaker 1: is still young to just have the Tommy John surgery
Speaker 1: right off the bat. I would be cautious with him.
Speaker 1: I don't know, UM if our guys down there in
Speaker 1: the fantasy Pit of misery, if my best friend forever
Speaker 1: Mike Florio is down there, because if he is, I
Speaker 1: would love to um talk to him about this. We'll
Speaker 1: check in on that in a hot second. Alright, Well, well, hey,
Speaker 1: we got the we got the night out there, though,
Speaker 1: we got JP the night Owl. Hey, JP, you want
Speaker 1: to hop on real quick? We got JP here on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle. You know who he is the night
Speaker 1: alf down stats over beat Cipher. You saw this old
Speaker 1: Tanny injury, right, JP. Yeah, So here's my question, why
Speaker 1: are they even talking about maybe they're gonna nurse him,
Speaker 1: maybe they're gonna arrest him, you know, like the kid
Speaker 1: is only what twenty three whatever the case? Maybe, Like,
Speaker 1: why don't they just have the surgery right now, get
Speaker 1: them cleaned up, instead of having this cloud dangle over
Speaker 1: him for the rest of his career, like it's gonna
Speaker 1: go at some point, if only two, after only two
Speaker 1: months of Major League baseball pitching, there's already this concern.
Speaker 1: Why don't they just fix them now instead of, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, seeing you know, if it works, holding it
Speaker 1: by a string. Yeah, I mean, regardless of sport, any injury,
Speaker 1: the last thing you want to see is a team
Speaker 1: kind of waiver on that fence of what should we
Speaker 1: do with it. I don't want him hitting at all.
Speaker 1: I want to get him healthy. He's a franchise player already,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna play with that. Just forget hitting the pitching,
Speaker 1: you know, it's Tommy John surgery for the picture. Absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: I hear that, you know, JP. We're gonna check in
Speaker 1: with you a little bit later on the show. You
Speaker 1: know how we put the fun and functional sports radio
Speaker 1: with the rapping athletes, you know what I mean? So
Speaker 1: we got an interesting one. Apparently there's some drama in
Speaker 1: La La Land, so we'll get to that a little
Speaker 1: bit later on in the show. You're down with that, JP,
Speaker 1: I'm excited for it. Let's do it? Sounds good? You
Speaker 1: should be because I know all as millennials, do you
Speaker 1: like this is so you know, so millennial, you know,
Speaker 1: throwing dis tracks about your teammates and stuff. So we'll
Speaker 1: get into that a little bit later on. But I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you something else. You know, Speeds loves the kids, right,
Speaker 1: You know, Speeds loves the kids. We do Speedy Speeds
Speaker 1: beating the kids with the NFL picks in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: You know how much we love the kids, right, And
Speaker 1: I also love programs that support kids. Okay, So I
Speaker 1: want to tell you about this because there's a way
Speaker 1: you can get involved right here, um leap um. It's
Speaker 1: an educational nonprofit and arts nonprofit. They're gonna be hosting

Speaker 1: LEAP brings the power of the arts to more than
Speaker 1: twenty thousand students in over a hundred seventy five schools

Speaker 1: The New York Yankees have also been supporting LEAP as
Speaker 1: a program for several years, enabling them to expand their
Speaker 1: programs for deserving children in the South Bronx. You know

Speaker 1: So if you want to kick it with Speeds, go
Speaker 1: on check it out, get a get a ticket for
Speaker 1: this Yankee Stadium sweet party. Check it out at leap
Speaker 1: NYC dot com. All right, last thing I wanted to
Speaker 1: tell you. As we talked about baseball, we talked about
Speaker 1: this Ohtani injury, UM and others. Listen. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you saw this, but Rob Manfred, the Commissioner of Baseball,
Speaker 1: came out recently in an article he did. I think
Speaker 1: it was with The Atlantic where he was talking about
Speaker 1: UM technology in the game. Okay, technology in baseball. You
Speaker 1: know how they've had the replay instituted and things of
Speaker 1: that nature. But they were talking about the K zone.
Speaker 1: You see it if you watch any baseball game, Okay,
Speaker 1: you got the box up over the strike zone. Sometimes
Speaker 1: they even superimposed hot and cold zones and stats for
Speaker 1: different segments of the strike zone. Well, this caught my eye.
Speaker 1: Rob Manford, the Commissioner, said this about a week ago
Speaker 1: that Major League Baseball is much closer to being able
Speaker 1: to use pitch f X to electronically call balls and strikes,
Speaker 1: talking about potentially electronic umpiring at home plate here in
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, folks. And I don't know how I
Speaker 1: feel about this. On the one hand, I think, listen,
Speaker 1: we gotta keep up with the technology. It's crazy that
Speaker 1: I could be watching a game on ESPN like the
Speaker 1: Yankees on Sunday Night Baseball, and I can see that
Speaker 1: the pitch was an eight seven mile and our slide
Speaker 1: and it caught the inside corner. But yet Joe West
Speaker 1: sitting behind the plate can't tell that doesn't have access
Speaker 1: to that same information, right he should? They should have
Speaker 1: that information. So I think, yeah, get it right, I
Speaker 1: understand that difference, right. But on the flip side, I
Speaker 1: don't know how they feel about it, because you know,
Speaker 1: baseball is supposed to be big with like the quote
Speaker 1: unquote human element in the game, and how everybody actually
Speaker 1: you know, likes the idea of maybe the human error.
Speaker 1: I don't like that. You already now have instant replay
Speaker 1: for fair foul. You already have instant replay and challenge
Speaker 1: flags for things like the neighborhood to play at second base,
Speaker 1: even out safe calls in basses. You have that everywhere else.
Speaker 1: Why not bring the technology to home plate as well?
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not talking about eliminating umpires altogether. I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about them losing jobs. You're still gonna need umpires,
Speaker 1: check swings, foul tips, You're gonna still need umpires. But
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at this, Okay, I'm not mad at
Speaker 1: a consistent strike zone. I don't. I don't know why
Speaker 1: people like the idea of, Hey, I gotta learn this
Speaker 1: umpire is his zone a little tight, is his zone
Speaker 1: a little high, you know, things of that nature. I'm
Speaker 1: not with that. I would love to hear what you
Speaker 1: guys think and the stats over beat Cipher in the
Speaker 1: chat room right now, if you want to tell me
Speaker 1: what you guys think about this. Um Manford saying that
Speaker 1: we are technologically closer to being able to uh use
Speaker 1: you know, kind of PITCHFX to track the strike zone.
Speaker 1: I find that very very interesting. Alright, so we'll hollow
Speaker 1: at that. UM a little bit later on, let me
Speaker 1: actually ask these guys down in the fantasy Pit of misery.
Speaker 1: We're gonna turn it over. You know, we're gonna put
Speaker 1: the fun and functional sports radio. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff I want to talk about. Um, we're gonna talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, this Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma issue and track.
Speaker 1: You know how we always have the rapping athletes, right,
Speaker 1: but about I'm also trying to get into. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get into this video. I put it up on my
Speaker 1: Twitter timeline. Okay, remember it's the Minnesota State high school championship.
Speaker 1: The kid strikes out his friend for the last out,
Speaker 1: and his initial reaction is, instead of going to run
Speaker 1: and hug his teammates as they bum rushed the mob
Speaker 1: because you just won the state championship, he runs the
Speaker 1: home plate two, uh, hug his friend and console his friend.
Speaker 1: Let's go back down into the fantasy pit of misery. UM,
Speaker 1: we're gonna see if the night Owl is still with us,
Speaker 1: if we got our fantasy best friend forever Mikey Florio
Speaker 1: down there? Who do we got? It's you know, it's
Speaker 1: the freestyle, so we never know who's gonna be down
Speaker 1: there exactly who's down there on the fantasy freestyle? Who's
Speaker 1: down there in the pit of misery? It's here? Hey,
Speaker 1: night out. How are you feeling, brother man? So okay,
Speaker 1: we know how you feel about old Tani. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you. Did you have a chance to see this
Speaker 1: video that I'm talking about on my Twitter timeline? Did
Speaker 1: you see this at all? What with the high school pitch? Yes,
Speaker 1: the high school picture how he goes and like hugs
Speaker 1: the guy. Yeah, I did see that. What do you
Speaker 1: think about this? We had a pole question up, you know,
Speaker 1: the idea of is this incredible sportsmanship you know, because
Speaker 1: he goes and consoles his friend, or is he a
Speaker 1: bad teammate to his team that just clinched the state championship?
Speaker 1: How do you go on this side? J I thought
Speaker 1: it was really cool when I initially saw it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, because you're gonna sell he celebrated with this
Speaker 1: teammates like shortly after. But like I don't know the
Speaker 1: backstory behind the whole friendship. But if that's a good
Speaker 1: friend and you go around. Then you go and hug
Speaker 1: him right after you strike him out. I think that's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. What if you were on his team, the
Speaker 1: team that just won. You're trying to celebrate, and you
Speaker 1: see money like more worried about your his friend than
Speaker 1: like your team that you're on. You don't feel any
Speaker 1: kind of way. You catch no feelings about this. I
Speaker 1: would take zero disrespect to it. I don't honestly just
Speaker 1: think it's him being an awesome like sportsmanship and this
Speaker 1: is kind of what sports is about. I loved it. Okay,
Speaker 1: So you think this is like completely fair and also
Speaker 1: a good role model for sportsmanship, you gotta talk to
Speaker 1: my man Danny Auto down there in the fantasy pit
Speaker 1: of misery. See if anybody's talking about this on the
Speaker 1: stats over beach chat room, because I actually think listen,
Speaker 1: I saw um JP, I saw like the trolls out there, right,
Speaker 1: you see this on social media. There was one guy
Speaker 1: I won't even dignify it by using his name, but
Speaker 1: he was like he said that the more he saw
Speaker 1: that video, the more he got sick about it, saying
Speaker 1: that he coaches high school sports and that he would
Speaker 1: take that kid, that kid being the picture who went
Speaker 1: and like hug the other guy, he would take him
Speaker 1: and take his championship ring away from him and use
Speaker 1: a blowtorch and melt it in front of him so
Speaker 1: that he can understand that you need to be doing
Speaker 1: intimidation of your opponent at all times, even after you
Speaker 1: have won the state championship. And then there's like a
Speaker 1: back and forth and patrols or people are like, yo,
Speaker 1: you really coach kids, like you need another line of
Speaker 1: work that sort of thing. But that's that's what we're
Speaker 1: dealing with out here, bro. That JP. This is what
Speaker 1: like people actually think about, uh, and the way that
Speaker 1: actually people respond and how intense and constant to kind
Speaker 1: of sports competition needs to be. I'm with you. I
Speaker 1: like that. Uh, you know he had a soft spot
Speaker 1: for his friend. What do you think about that. Trollers
Speaker 1: are gonna troll though, I guess huh yeah, they're always
Speaker 1: gonna be out there. But it's just like what like,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's it's more than sports.
Speaker 1: It's about friendship. It's about more than that. Like if
Speaker 1: you're really gonna put a baseball game over your lifelong friend,
Speaker 1: come on, yeah, no, it's absolutely crazy. Listen, We're about
Speaker 1: to take a quick break. When we come back, though,
Speaker 1: we're gonna put the fun and functional sports Radio. I
Speaker 1: told you about this Lomzo Ball Kyle Kuzma track that's
Speaker 1: going on. I'm gonna get my thought the thoughts of
Speaker 1: JP the Night Owl on that one as well. And
Speaker 1: then listen. You know how we talk about football all
Speaker 1: the time, right, We're gonna spend a little time talking
Speaker 1: about football as well. Okay, the World Cups getting started, Yo, dollars,
Speaker 1: dollars and sense of sense. I'm gonna tell you how

Speaker 1: a fool gazey this year in fantasy football. When we
Speaker 1: come back, like I said, we got this Lonzo Ball
Speaker 1: Dish track and we talk uh football, all that and
Speaker 1: more here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Will check in on

Speaker 1: you know, promote and whatnot. JP the night Owl was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: I haven't heard this track. I'm really interested in this track.
Speaker 1: And the thing is, here's what I don't get JP.
Speaker 1: Is this serious beef or are they just friends kind
Speaker 1: of kidding around? You know? Is this just like trying
Speaker 1: to raise awareness and gain follows and mention for both
Speaker 1: of them, or is this some kind of push your
Speaker 1: t uh, you know, below the belt kind of beef.
Speaker 1: What do you think, JP? You think this is all
Speaker 1: fun and games or is someone about to take getting
Speaker 1: nigh taken out? No, they're just messing around. That's kind
Speaker 1: of the culture that these like New Lakers teams so millennial.
Speaker 1: That's why I ask you about it, because you know
Speaker 1: you're tuned into the millennials. Man. This is how the
Speaker 1: millennials do it. You know, they try to make their
Speaker 1: statements through social media. They're like, Oh, even though I
Speaker 1: have a contract that I'm supposed to go to work
Speaker 1: at Mini Camp, I feel like I'm under value. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay home and make a statement. It's so millennial, JP.
Speaker 1: You just go to work, man, you gotta contract, You
Speaker 1: go to work. And and and so what a Lonzo
Speaker 1: Ball and uh Kyle Kuzma doing a kind of battling
Speaker 1: back and forth. Here they had quips, they had bars
Speaker 1: and stuff, and the Alonzo Ball makes this track. He
Speaker 1: calls it Hilie Kuzma out of a take up off
Speaker 1: of the you know, Kardashians and the Jenner's um. JP,
Speaker 1: what have you thought so far about a Lonzo Ball
Speaker 1: and his um you know, his wrapping ability, his lyricism.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a great lyricist, but he's got
Speaker 1: some good beats and some good songs that he's made.
Speaker 1: Before I listened to him, he said, all right, well,
Speaker 1: let's see if this holes cuts the mustard and kind
Speaker 1: of holes serve in terms of you thinking he's okay,
Speaker 1: this is Lonzo Ball. It is a distract of his
Speaker 1: own teammate, Kyle Kuzma. He calls it Kylie. Let's check
Speaker 1: out Alonzo ball and the Triple B Baller brand. Right now,
Speaker 1: let's play a little bit of this track, Kylie beat off,
Speaker 1: who are you without zero two? Just anohing to Doe
Speaker 1: with a once of that tools. You ain't got no sue,
Speaker 1: Nike wins, cools lose, claiming that I can't sue. But
Speaker 1: all these words is hit and you well, you're talking crazy.
Speaker 1: Why you're trying to play me. You ain't know my level.
Speaker 1: You ain't famous as my baby. I'm working out daily,
Speaker 1: but I ain't posting it, and I would never stop
Speaker 1: but work out just the post to pick you know
Speaker 1: gas what think that you can't be touched coming from
Speaker 1: the outskirts of flint, Boy, you ain't up big ball
Speaker 1: of branding and brand locals is hitting crimes with thumb
Speaker 1: and do that money. Look at y'all, y'all plan of
Speaker 1: which your thumbs don't know, who your dad is, what
Speaker 1: your ass is getting some we're both taking shots. The
Speaker 1: only difference you ain't hitting none. Usually do this ship
Speaker 1: for fun, But trust me, boy, I'm not the one.
Speaker 1: If you're the bullet, I'm the gun. If you the
Speaker 1: potter cooking something you won't smoke, you can get it
Speaker 1: dressing for attention, trying to be What's or Westbrook does?
Speaker 1: I don't know mention and I'll kill you with a
Speaker 1: sentence to me. You just a peasant triple Visas independent
Speaker 1: cous Maine and can't reinvent it because you ain't got
Speaker 1: the people and you ain't got the sources. Put all
Speaker 1: your money in the push. I dropped to check on horses.
Speaker 1: You better joining forces with the mainingforces. Triple Visas for
Speaker 1: the culture, your squad is a bunch of boats. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stop you losing focus. Reason why you dropped your courses.
Speaker 1: He's some more endorsements. Won't fleece you think we didn't notice?
Speaker 1: All right? I got a a Lonzo blow right there,
Speaker 1: Kylie talking about his teammate on the Lakers, Kyle Kuzma,
Speaker 1: fellow rookie. Hey, JP, what do you think? I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you the truth. I think that is better than
Speaker 1: almost everything I've ever heard a Lonzo ball do before.
Speaker 1: What do you think JP? That was pretty cool? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I know you're a fan. So millennial over here, JP?
Speaker 1: That the millennial that we're gonna call him JP, the
Speaker 1: millennial moving forward? Yeah, listen, that actually wasn't bad. That
Speaker 1: wasn't bad. It is still kind of in Danny Otto.
Speaker 1: My man down there will know exactly what I'm about
Speaker 1: to say. That was still kind of that, you know,
Speaker 1: sipping on some scissors, lazy kind of southern drawl kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. But that's what the kids are into these days.
Speaker 1: So who am I to judge? Um? But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: but here's the thing he was like going hard after him.
Speaker 1: There was one line I picked out JP where he says,
Speaker 1: you don't know who your father is, especially after the
Speaker 1: pusher t Drake Beef. I don't know if we want
Speaker 1: to be talking about parenthood and uh kind of illegitimate
Speaker 1: children and not knowing who your father is JP, What
Speaker 1: do you think? I actually think what he said was,
Speaker 1: I don't know who your father is, like because his
Speaker 1: father is so famous, because he's not LaVar Ball and
Speaker 1: and he doesn't have the shine of LaVar Ball his father.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to be bragging about
Speaker 1: LaVar by no means you know what I'm saying. I mean,
Speaker 1: I get that, like, all right, you ain't hitting shots
Speaker 1: like me. You know, I'm the I'm the biggest, you know,
Speaker 1: well known laker all that good stuff. Cool. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you want to start, you know, bringing your
Speaker 1: daddy into it, because listen, you know that just gives
Speaker 1: Kyle Kuzma a lot of ammunition for the for the
Speaker 1: battle rap back, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: we'll also check this out. Kyle Kuzma on social media.
Speaker 1: I think it was on I g said listen, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to ruin you in my response on Wednesday. Okay,
Speaker 1: so keep an eye out for that. Keep an eye
Speaker 1: out for that. It looks like Kyle Kuzma will in
Speaker 1: fact retort. But it's interesting. I hear you, JP. I
Speaker 1: kind of agree with you. It's a little fun to
Speaker 1: have a little back and forth in the offseason. They're
Speaker 1: both gonna wind up, you know, getting listens, getting follows,
Speaker 1: getting mentions, and I guess for these millennials that's what
Speaker 1: it's about anyway. But if Kyle Kuzma does anything, you know,
Speaker 1: I will be letting you guys know at spitting speeds
Speaker 1: on Twitter and we'll bring it maybe next week here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyles. We put the fun in Functional
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Next week, I may have to give you
Speaker 1: a little bit of a Speeds original. You heard me
Speaker 1: back in the day with Chronicle as well. I may

Speaker 1: pit of misery want to talk World Cup soccer with me,
Speaker 1: Here's what I'll say before we get into it. Remember
Speaker 1: how I said last week that Delaware beat Jersey to
Speaker 1: the punch and they're taking sports betting. Well, Jersey is
Speaker 1: getting ready to roll. Jersey is getting ready to roll
Speaker 1: as well. Okay, starting Thursday morning, you will be able
Speaker 1: to make sports bets at Monmouth Park at Atlantic City.
Speaker 1: They are now set up to receive sports bets, and
Speaker 1: I think it's very ironic that they're starting on Thursday.
Speaker 1: You know what starts on Thursday, The US Open, the
Speaker 1: golf major. I was talking to Colin Drew on Rhodo
Speaker 1: Experts in the morning today and he was giving me
Speaker 1: some really good plays he likes. I think it's Paul
Speaker 1: Casey and some others over there at Shinnecock in Long
Speaker 1: Island for the U s Open. But you know what
Speaker 1: else starts on Thursday. Oh, only the biggest sporting event
Speaker 1: on planet Earth. Talking about the World Cup. And there
Speaker 1: are plenty of ways to get your money in okay,
Speaker 1: and dollars, dollars and senses sent. So check this out.
Speaker 1: You got your favorites and the big boys. Listen, the
Speaker 1: god Brazil is the favorite right now? You got Germany rightfully,
Speaker 1: so Spain and France. Those are your top four. Okay,
Speaker 1: those are your top four bets. Listen. Brazil is going
Speaker 1: off at seven to two right now. I think that's fine.
Speaker 1: Germany is the defending champ. I'm gonna try to beat them.
Speaker 1: Um No USA. So I know people listening, they might
Speaker 1: not be watching. No USA, no Italy, no Ghana. Among
Speaker 1: teams that people thought would qualify, I gave you the favorites.
Speaker 1: You all know. You know, Lionel Messi is kind of
Speaker 1: under pressure, that sort of thing. I'm telling you straight
Speaker 1: up here the teams I would ride with in order
Speaker 1: to win some cash on the World Cup. I like Belgium.
Speaker 1: I like Belgium. Okay, they have like a number of
Speaker 1: world class players, hazard Lucaco, the Brune, they got a
Speaker 1: good goalie company and stuff. I like this team. And
Speaker 1: here's what's else. I like their draw. Okay, they're in
Speaker 1: a group that doesn't have many big boys. Okay. And
Speaker 1: then what's further, I believe they're in like Group G.
Speaker 1: What's further is then in the next round, let's say
Speaker 1: they win that group, which I think they will. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're talking about Belgium. They're in the group where I
Speaker 1: think England is picked to be in second place. Okay,
Speaker 1: I like Belgium to win their group. But then the
Speaker 1: way they do it is like the winner of Group
Speaker 1: G plays the second place team of Group H, and
Speaker 1: the win a Group H plays the second place team
Speaker 1: of a Group G. If they go ahead and win
Speaker 1: Group G. Group H to me is kind of like
Speaker 1: it's a decent group, but it's a lot of like
Speaker 1: decent teams, no standout. I think the head in that
Speaker 1: group is like Columbia, okay, and so the second place
Speaker 1: team maybe it's gonna be like Senegal or something like that.
Speaker 1: It's a team that I believe Belgium could beat in
Speaker 1: the round the sixth team. So I like Belgium as
Speaker 1: a bet to get to the quarter finals. You can
Speaker 1: get them at minus one eight. I believe they're underneath
Speaker 1: the Big four, They're underneath teams like Argentina as well.
Speaker 1: I like Belgium to get to the quarterfinal. That's a
Speaker 1: bet you can make right now on my bookie dot
Speaker 1: a G. I threw a couple of shekels on that.
Speaker 1: Here's another team that I and this is a kind
Speaker 1: of grinded out team, but it has a world class talent.
Speaker 1: Talking about Croatia, Okay, I'm talking about Croatia. They have
Speaker 1: strikers from like you know, Barcelona and Stuffing. These guys
Speaker 1: play all across Europe and I like Croatia as well.
Speaker 1: One of the bets I kind of like, um that
Speaker 1: you can get over on my bookie dot ag is
Speaker 1: you can bet will the World Cup champion be from
Speaker 1: Europe minus three fifty from South America plus five hundred
Speaker 1: or five fifty I believe, or the rest of the
Speaker 1: world plus three thousand. What that goes to show is
Speaker 1: that everybody thinks it's gonna be Europe, right, And so listen,
Speaker 1: You've got Spain, You've got Germany, you've got France. Three
Speaker 1: of the four favorites, Brazil and Argentina kind of represented
Speaker 1: from South America. But do not sleep on Belgium, and
Speaker 1: do not sleep on Croatia either. I do think Belgium
Speaker 1: is gonna hit the quarterfinal. They might even then get
Speaker 1: lucky and go even further. They are a team to
Speaker 1: check out. Um. I like what they're doing moving forward,
Speaker 1: all right, Um, you know, listen, the other thing that's
Speaker 1: a prop bet that you can get on the World
Speaker 1: Cup is you can bet um leading scorer. Okay, And
Speaker 1: so you gotta think about kind of like playing fantasy
Speaker 1: football in the playoffs, you gotta think about who's gonna
Speaker 1: play the most games and who is in position to
Speaker 1: be like kind of a striker. I'm not gonna go
Speaker 1: with Ronaldo or Messy because I don't think those teams
Speaker 1: are going as far. France, however, is a favorite. They
Speaker 1: have bad defensive teams in their group. This could be
Speaker 1: the year that Griesman um Anton Griesman from I believe
Speaker 1: he is on Athletico Madrid. You know that team in Spain,
Speaker 1: that's not Real Madrid, that's not Barcelona. I believe he's
Speaker 1: on Athletico and you know he kind of goes under
Speaker 1: the radar, but you can get him at plus. I
Speaker 1: believe it's a leven hundred. I was looking at this
Speaker 1: with my man Frank Stanfell. I know the analyst Chris
Speaker 1: Ventra is big on the World Cup as well. I
Speaker 1: like Griesman at LUs. I think it's eleven hundred to
Speaker 1: be the leading goal scorer of the tournament. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to beat Ronaldo or Messy, what have you. And also
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna be I on Belgium, then I gotta
Speaker 1: take one of these guys. Right. You have Hazard as
Speaker 1: an option, you have the Bruin, I believe as an option.
Speaker 1: But I like Lukaku. Okay, hey Lukku alright, so we
Speaker 1: like a little bit of Lucaco here on the stats
Speaker 1: over beat Cipher. So does my man Frank Stanford, one
Speaker 1: of my best friends forever. Let's go down real quick. Uh,
Speaker 1: my man, Danny Otto is down there in a fantasy
Speaker 1: pit of misery. Let's wrap it up, asking what's going
Speaker 1: on on, popping off and seeing if anybody's talking in
Speaker 1: the stats over beat Cipher. Hey, Danny, are you down

Speaker 1: fair enough. What do you think, Danny about that video
Speaker 1: that I was showing the sportsmanship? I agreed with you
Speaker 1: and JP, and I thought that was a great thing
Speaker 1: to do, especially if you guys are good friends. That
Speaker 1: that means the world. Somebody just got crushed and somebody's
Speaker 1: at the top, on the top of the world, right,
Speaker 1: I completely completely agree with you. Anything of note in
