<v Speaker 1>of hope, a sense of optimism from my fantasy team

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.360

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Greatest of All Time tournament. We're gonna change it up

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>and now that we are in full swing with the

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>baseball season, we're gonna go around the league a little bit,

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 1>give you my plays for tonight and UH as usual though,

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get it started with top five dead or alive,

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>some news and notes for you over the weekend. Let's

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.120
<v Speaker 1>start with Major League Baseball. As you know, yes, it

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>is kind of opening day. A couple of teams got

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>started yesterday, but I would call today opening day in earnest.

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>But um, Roberto Rozuno will not be closing for the

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Toronto Blue Jays right now. He's gonna go on the

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>d L, the ten day d L, not the fifteen

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>day d L. Remember that Jason Grilly looks like he's

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna start um first man out to get save chances

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>for the Blue Jays. I will say this, he just

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>got the loss in a game against the Baltimore Orioles

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>at their home here in Campden Yards a little while ago.

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>UH college rolled on also going to the d L

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>for the Chicago White Sox. He's got a biceps issue,

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>remember him also on the ten day d L. I

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.399
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's making it back when the time is up.

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna probably be out until May. They

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>told you guys about that a little bit earlier on

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. UM Yadiya Malina signed a

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>three year, sixty million dollar extension over the weekend with

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 1>the St. Louis Cardinals. He becomes the highest paid catcher

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>in Major League Baseball. UM coming off one of his

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>best offensive seasons in a little while. You also saw

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.799
<v Speaker 1>what he does for his pictures. You also know what

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.679
<v Speaker 1>he does for the clubhouse, remember seeing him as a

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>leader for Team Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic.

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>We go back to New York and the Mets. Stephen

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Matt's um has a flex or tendon strain and he's

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna be shut down for about three or four weeks. Uh,

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily on the not necessarily, uh you know, calls

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>for alarm just yet. But Matt's has been injury riddled. Remember,

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>if he's gonna be on your team, you may want

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.519
<v Speaker 1>to protect that with some other guys. I wouldn't. I

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:09.519
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't invest in Stephen Matt's opening day. Some interesting lineups

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>coming out, Okay, and remember I've been telling you guys

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.360
<v Speaker 1>all season, especially in DFS it's about where they are

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>in the lineup. I love say, for example, that two

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 1>spot in the lineup Minnesota. The Twins had a very

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 1>interesting lineup. I thought these two guys would be flipped.

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>But no, no, no, Um, Brian Doesier is leading off

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.360
<v Speaker 1>for the Twins and playing second base today, and uh,

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Brian Buxton is actually in the third hole for the Twins.

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I could see that flipping. You know, those are of

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the of the forty home runs last year in Buxton

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>with the great speed. But we shall see. And I

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>gotta tell you something, watching all these games yesterday and today,

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>are you with me? I missed the intentional walk. I

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>missed the intentional walk. Um, if you don't realize it

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>just yet, there is no more intentional walk in Major

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>League Baseball this season. All the manager has to do

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>is put out a little signal and uh, he'll automatically

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 1>get first bay. You don't actually have to throw the

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 1>four pitches. And I thought that was always interesting because

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, that still the potential for a guy like

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Vladimir Guerrero to step across and rope a double to

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the right center field. But let me know, let me know,

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>if you miss the intentional walk. I also want to

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>go to football some news and notes there, you know

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.799
<v Speaker 1>on the fantasy freestyle speeds and spitting statistician is always

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.039
<v Speaker 1>gonna give you your football knowledge twelve months a year.

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.839
<v Speaker 1>The forty Niners have signed running back Tim high Tower.

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna be the prime candidate to back

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:30.599
<v Speaker 1>up Carlos Hide in San Francisco. Sorry to Dewan Harris

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>who did have that role, but high Tower I believe

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be backing up Hide in San Francisco. Case

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Keenum signs a one year, two million dollar deal with

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the Minnesota Vikings. To me, that is an interesting signal

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>on whether this organization believes that Teddy Bridgewater will be

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:53.039
<v Speaker 1>healthy come this fall. And it does not look good

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, with Teddy Bridgewater if they're gonna actually

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 1>make roster moves and signing Case Keenum. Case Keenum is

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 1>not a third string quarterback. Case Keenum is a backup quarterbacks,

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.359
<v Speaker 1>So if they're signing him to backup quarterback money, to me,

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>that means Teddy Bridgewater could be in trouble. Adrian Peterson

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>visited the New England Patriots today um However, he has

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>left the building with no offer in place, no deal

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>in place. They're saying that there are three to five

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>teams that are interested in Adrian Peterson, but I don't

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.840
<v Speaker 1>know who they are. There's another report out of Tampa

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 1>Bay from the Tampa Bay Time saying that Adrian Peterson

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.720
<v Speaker 1>is not in the Tampa Bay Bucks plans. So who

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 1>are these teams? Remember speeds and spitting statistician. My called

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>shot was, I believe Adrian Peterson is gonna wind up

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.719
<v Speaker 1>with the Oakland Raiders. Um at least they were in

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Oakland for the next couple of years. UM in the

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:45.160
<v Speaker 1>quarterback market, Remember I said they signed case Keenum, but um,

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:49.239
<v Speaker 1>Colin Kaepernick still goes unsigned. And I thought something was funny.

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I found online what they're calling a Colin Kaepernick excuse generator.

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've been talking about it all last week.

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>At this point, there's got to be some kind of

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 1>black ball going on. If Geno Smith and now case

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Keenum can get a deal, but uh, you know, your

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 1>boy Colin Kaepernick cannot. I think that is very interesting.

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Guys like Kaepernick, guys like r G three, guys like

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Jake Cutler, guys like Ryan Fitzpatrick are all still out

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>there on the running back market. Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch,

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Jamal Charles all still out there, have Geno Smith and

0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>now Tim high Tower can get deals. I think this

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.479
<v Speaker 1>shows you that the NFL is trying to skew cheaper

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>and skew younger. We don't know what kind of contract

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.159
<v Speaker 1>details these guys are kind of demanding. Will they be

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>playing for you know the minimum? Would would in fact,

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, would Colin Kaepernick take a one year, two

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>million dollar deal like case Keenum did. That is the

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>piece of information that we don't know. But I still

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>think it is very very interesting. And I know it's

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Major League Baseball and opening Day, but uh, that football

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.599
<v Speaker 1>calendar twelve months a year o t a s our

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>beginning for the Buffalo Bills and the Los Angeles Chargers

0:06:55.360 --> 0:07:00.080
<v Speaker 1>today today is the beginning of offseason training activities for

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 1>those two NFL teams, just as the baseball season getting started.

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.480
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if you know one more football note.

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Anybody who saw WrestleMania yesterday. And I know some guys

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 1>on this network. I know Greg Sussman Sussmania, I know

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Frankie Standfull, Mike Florial. They probably did. You might have

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>seen Rob Gronkowski out there in WrestleMania. He uh you know,

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>came out there. Uh, body blocked, somebody helped another guy

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>win some battle royal. So I can very much remember

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 1>during the football season when I talked about how ron

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the rousis next move might be to the w w E.

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I can easily see Rob Gronkowski in that path as well.

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's keep going. The top five that are

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>alive here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Radio Network. As I said, I have some polls up

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>there on that f n T S Y radio Twitter handles.

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's look at them right now. Donnie Burns put him

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 1>up first. One is quite simple. What's your favorite part

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>of hashtag opening Day? You know? Um I told I

0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 1>opened the show saying how excited I felt. You know,

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.239
<v Speaker 1>spring has brung. You know, I feel like no one's

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.679
<v Speaker 1>gonna beat my fantasy baseball team this year. I gotta

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 1>tell you, playing this DFS slate today, I'm doing big things.

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Had Yasmani Grandal, who's hit two home runs today. Had

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Jack Peterson who had a grand slam at steven Strasburg,

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>who got a quality start and a win going seven innings. So, uh,

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 1>you may want to listen to your boys speed that

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>spitting statistician, because I'm giving you everything you need to

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 1>win your leagues and win that cash. But as we

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>go to Opening Day, what's your favorite part? Is it?

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, the optimism for your team? You know, because

0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody zero and zero, you know, everybody's a playoff contender.

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 1>And and you know, I feel that because I'm a

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 1>big New York Yankees fan and for the last couple

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>of years, you know, my team has been out of it,

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, pretty much in any real way as we

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.839
<v Speaker 1>hit summertime, I didn't expect big things. Now with the

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>youth movement going on, the Baby Bombers, I feel like, uh,

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I might have a chance. So I feel good optimism.

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we're trending in the right direction. Or

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 1>is it, like I mentioned before, is it the start

0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>of spring. You know, you get to start to put

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 1>some of those winter co it's away, birds are chirping,

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>everybody's happy. Everybody just kind of feels better as the

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 1>weather gets nice out. So maybe that's what you feel

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>like most about Opening Day? Or is it just straight

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 1>up fantasy baseball? And uh, you know here on the

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Sports Radio Network, I can see many of you

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>out there pretty much thinking that Fantasy baseball might be

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 1>the reason we got that pole up there on the

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 1>f n T s Y radio Twitter handle. Right now,

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>we got a very tight three way race, Donnie Burns,

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>and I will check in on that throughout the show.

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 1>The other question I have, and I want to bring

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.439
<v Speaker 1>my boy Donnie Burns in right now as the resident

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Freestyle college basketball expert, we define a champion tonight.

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Who do you think will take it home? North Carolina

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>or Gonzaga. Right now this pole that's up on the

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.680
<v Speaker 1>fn T s Y Radio Twitter handle, it is pretty

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>close with fifty percent of you saying that the tar

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Heels of North Carolina will be cutting down the nets

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and around midnight tonight. Donnie Burns, I know you've been

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 1>following this tournament. I know you're my basketball college basketball

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>go to guy. I have been saying the entire tournament

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 1>that I believe the best ball has played out on

0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 1>the West Coast. So I'm gonna ride with Gonzaga. I'm

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna fade the public a little bit, especially if you know,

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe if North Carolina knows how to box out after

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>missed free throws. I don't know, did you catch that?

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Don And and uh what do you what are you

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 1>thinking about this game tonight? So I'm leaning I'm leaning

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 1>more towards un seeing this matchup. The reason for that

0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.320
<v Speaker 1>being if I feel if Justin Jackson and Joel Berry

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>can get second chance from Kennedy Meeks getting rebounds, offensive rebounds,

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel like they can. They can drop enough points

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to lead them to a victory. However, the Gonzaga big

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.440
<v Speaker 1>men play very fundamentally sound. They have Carnowski, they got Collins.

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>So it's gonna be as close as this voting on

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:46.960
<v Speaker 1>this poll probably is. So you expect U n see

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>in a fair enough fair enough so we shall see.

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.560
<v Speaker 1>One other note out of college basketball that I feel, uh,

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I want to share with everybody. Georgetown

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 1>has hired its new coach, a new head coach. They

0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 1>fired John Thompson the third and they are keeping it

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 1>in the family. And they have decided to hire someone

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>who I really wanted to get a job for the

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 1>last five or ten years. I thought that, to be

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 1>quite honest, he was um had some prejudice views against

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>him as to not getting interviews, and a lot of

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 1>people think that players who are big men. You know,

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>you see players who become head coaches, they're usually point guards,

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.559
<v Speaker 1>not a lot of big men. But I want to

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 1>give a big time shout out here on the Fantasy

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Freestyle to Patrick Ewing. And Patrick Ewing is the new

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 1>head coach of the Georgetown Hoyas, so I feel really

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.160
<v Speaker 1>good about that shout out to him. I know he's

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 1>wanted to get a head coaching job for a while.

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's keep it moving though. Top five that are alive

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.679
<v Speaker 1>here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Also out of the NFL, I thought I found some

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:55.479
<v Speaker 1>intriguing quotes and comments by the owner of the Dallas Cowboys,

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Mr Jerry Jones. Checked this out Jerry Jones, and uh,

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 1>what I also find interesting, Donnie, is I'm I'm I'm

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.200
<v Speaker 1>getting this report out of Mike Florio. No not the

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Mike Florio of the Fantasy Sports Radio Network who will

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 1>be coming on next at eight to ten with Fantasy

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.880
<v Speaker 1>First Look, but Mike Florio Pro Football Talk. He's reporting

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 1>that Jerry Jones has said he wants to end marijuana

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.680
<v Speaker 1>testing in the NFL, and he wants to end player

0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 1>conduct investigations. Now, I think if you if you've listened

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 1>in to Speed, this bitting statistician during football season, you

0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>know that I have been on this for a while

0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.360
<v Speaker 1>that the NFL needs to move away from the pain killers.

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>We are. We had the athletic trainer on a little

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:41.600
<v Speaker 1>bit over the playoff season. But um, this is gonna

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.839
<v Speaker 1>be collectively bargained, if anything, with the NFL p A.

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 1>But they are saying that they are quote unquote willing

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.680
<v Speaker 1>to listen to the medical community. If you remember, Speeds

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.960
<v Speaker 1>has been saying that the NFL has an opportunity here

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.320
<v Speaker 1>with it legal in twenty states and with the idea

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>of the pain management for the NFL players, they have

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>and they have an opportunity to become a leader in

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 1>this space. And I challenge Mr Goodell and the NFL

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>to do just that. It looks like Jerry Jones is

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 1>on the bandwagon as well. However, they're saying that they

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 1>are not going to really look into change changing their

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.560
<v Speaker 1>stance on the personal Conduct policy and those investigations. Roger

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Goodell is still going to be you know, investigator, judge,

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.960
<v Speaker 1>jury and executioner. But I find it interesting because maybe

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>why is Jerry Jones mentioning this? That is my question,

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and the only thing that I can think about is

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.000
<v Speaker 1>he might be a little bit worried about his star

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.439
<v Speaker 1>rookie running back is Zekiel Elliott. As you know, um,

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 1>he has been kind of in the news, um a

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 1>few times a few times as it comes to um,

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, his potential DV cases and things of that nature. So, uh,

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:47.839
<v Speaker 1>maybe Jerry Jones getting ahead of the game right there.
