Speaker 1: have to recap that a champion was crowned in the
Speaker 1: NBA last night, as the Golden State Warriors do in
Speaker 1: fact take out the Cavaliers in five games. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you were listening to the Fantasy Freestyle, but
Speaker 1: before this series, I told you the way to win
Speaker 1: that cash was by betting dubs in five and dubs
Speaker 1: in six on the exact one. We're gonna We're gonna
Speaker 1: get into all the money I could have made you
Speaker 1: over the NBA Finals a little bit later on, as
Speaker 1: we recap it with my basketball correspondent and love doctor,
Speaker 1: Donnie Burns. Also updates of the sports gambling landscape. You
Speaker 1: know we've been talking about the legality of sports betting
Speaker 1: as a consistent topic here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I
Speaker 1: have some updates on that, and also listen, don't get
Speaker 1: it twisted. I understand certain regulations the n C double
Speaker 1: A has, but as an intriguing story from a kicker
Speaker 1: on Southern Florida School of Central Florida of why I
Speaker 1: once again hate n SEE double A regulations, We're gonna
Speaker 1: get at into that as we put the fun in
Speaker 1: Functional Sports Radio. Um, and I got a pull question, Okay,
Speaker 1: so get out there and answer that. It's about we
Speaker 1: know that the Dubs won the championship, but which one
Speaker 1: of them is gonna leave because they can't hold it
Speaker 1: together as all Dynasty's learned. Come on back after the break,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into MLB and we'll talk a little
Speaker 1: bit more with my man Donnie Burns. At your boy,
Speaker 1: Dame Martinez here spitting statistician holding you down on Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: This is it what Luccini pouring from the sky. Let's
Speaker 1: get rich. What this your boy, Dane Martinez here in
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: I got my boy Donnie Burns keeping it so hot
Speaker 1: that we sweat steam. He is a millennial, though I
Speaker 1: don't even know if he realizes that the hook of
Speaker 1: that camp blow Luccini track is let's get rich what
Speaker 1: Luccini pouring from the sky. That's what we do here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle, help you get rich. So let's
Speaker 1: do it right now by starting off with my starting
Speaker 1: lineup as usual. News and notes from around Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1: Chris David, slugging from the Baltimore Orioles, strained his old bleak,
Speaker 1: had an m R I today to confirm as such.
Speaker 1: Buckshow Walter, the Orioles manager, says that he is going
Speaker 1: to miss some time. Looks like a d L stint
Speaker 1: is imminent for slugger Chris Davis. On the met side
Speaker 1: of things, Johannes Cesspenis left yesterday's game with what they
Speaker 1: call heal tendonitis. Cespedis himself says that he is familiar
Speaker 1: with this issue, that he's had it for a long
Speaker 1: time and in fact can play through it. Uh. This
Speaker 1: kind of to me sets up for just more criticism
Speaker 1: of the Mets medical staff. Let's see how they handle
Speaker 1: not my Ennis, not our Ennis, but yo enis Sespenis
Speaker 1: Blue Jay's second baseman, Devin Travis, had surgery for cartilage
Speaker 1: in his knee, had some damage, had some of that removed.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be on the shelf for a while. Devin Travis.
Speaker 1: You know, good hitter when he's there, but has been
Speaker 1: injury prone in the past. Also yesterday for the red
Speaker 1: hot Houston Astros, Josh Reddick was pulled from the game
Speaker 1: with a concussion against the Rangers. Okay, they're calling it mild.
Speaker 1: I have heard though, that there is no such thing
Speaker 1: as a quote unquote mild concussion. So hopefully the Astros
Speaker 1: take Josh Reddick and whatever injury he had um seriously,
Speaker 1: let's put it that way. Tyson Ross also been dealing
Speaker 1: with that shoulder issue for a while, is now set
Speaker 1: to make his debut for the Texas Rangers on Friday
Speaker 1: against the Seattle Mariners. If you've been stashing him, you
Speaker 1: could take him out of the bubble wrap. He should
Speaker 1: be good to go for his debut on Friday. All right,
Speaker 1: Moving on here in the starting lineup. Last night, I
Speaker 1: told you that maybe it was the time to pay
Speaker 1: for Steven Stroudsburg. He did strike out ten guys, but
Speaker 1: it didn't work for you. Gave up six runs when
Speaker 1: the Nationals and Braves had a game that ultimately finished
Speaker 1: eleven ten, so runs were definitely scored. There were better
Speaker 1: places to go. What I wanna do is once again
Speaker 1: tip my cap to Jamison Ty, one of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Speaker 1: I told you he would be the sentimental play and
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna be good last night. I
Speaker 1: told you the problem was he probably wouldn't go deep
Speaker 1: into the game in his first start back, coming back
Speaker 1: after that episode with the testicular cancer. That's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1: He pitched real well when five shutout innings, struck out
Speaker 1: five as his Pirates beat the Rockies seven to two.
Speaker 1: Only issue was he wasn't going deep enough for me.
Speaker 1: But that did help you win some cash if you
Speaker 1: did go Jameson Tayon, because I bet not a lot
Speaker 1: of people did. I told you I was afraid a
Speaker 1: little bit of tanaka. He turned out a decent start,
Speaker 1: only gave up one earned run in six and two
Speaker 1: thirds and struck out eight. Um the grom. I was
Speaker 1: worried about that Cubs offense. He pulled out a good
Speaker 1: start as the Mets one six to one. Tom complete game,
Speaker 1: striking out six only given up one. Same could be
Speaker 1: said for you, Darvish. I was afraid of that Houston lineup,
Speaker 1: but Darvish handled it last night as the Rangers beat
Speaker 1: the ail leading Nashow six to one. Darvish with a
Speaker 1: nice game, only giving up one run in seven innings. So,
Speaker 1: like we said here in the fantasy freestyle, you may
Speaker 1: be asking yourself self, what do I do today to
Speaker 1: win that cash? Well, it's Clayton Kershaw Day, okay, people,
Speaker 1: So I mean you know you're always is fine playing
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw. He is going for twelve thousand, five hundred
Speaker 1: on fan duel tonight. Thing is he's against on the
Speaker 1: road at Cleveland against the Indians. The Indians, as you know,
Speaker 1: are a solid offense, but they are worse verse lefties.
Speaker 1: If you look at their team ops, they're ops. Against
Speaker 1: right he's his seven sixty five. That's good to be
Speaker 1: right around the middle of the American League. But against
Speaker 1: lefties there ops is six nine one. So all the
Speaker 1: more reason to not be afraid and to start Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 1: It is always a good idea to start Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 1: But if you want to try and beat him, Listen,
Speaker 1: you can go a little cheaper today. Zach Granky is
Speaker 1: only ten six on fan duel, and he has been hot.
Speaker 1: Over his last five starts. He has struck out forty
Speaker 1: two opponents in thirty two and two thirds innings. I
Speaker 1: think his strikeout stuff remains. If you don't want to
Speaker 1: pay up all the way for Kershaw on the Road
Speaker 1: in the Al Central, maybe you spend two thousand dollars
Speaker 1: less and get another stud like Grenky on the Road
Speaker 1: in the Al Central. But if you're gonna look at
Speaker 1: one picture, who's on the road tonight? Might I suggest
Speaker 1: Carlston Charles Sabathia. You know him as CC. He's going
Speaker 1: on the road tonight to face the Angels only going
Speaker 1: for eighties six hundreds, almost four thousand cheaper than Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 1: This is a guy grew up in Cali going back
Speaker 1: to Cali for a start. Will most likely need to
Speaker 1: get some tickets for friends and family this go. Sabathia
Speaker 1: has been good lately, five straight wins for the New
Speaker 1: York Yankees, who have been streaking. He's gotten his e
Speaker 1: r A all the way down to three point six
Speaker 1: six and remember, the Angels without Mike Trout are not
Speaker 1: an offense that scares me. They ranked third lowest in
Speaker 1: the American League with only a hundred and seventeen runs
Speaker 1: scored so far this season. So I like Sabathia and
Speaker 1: Granky as a little cheaper options to Clayton Kershaw. We
Speaker 1: shall see. I talked to you though about how two
Speaker 1: of my stud pitchers, Kershaw and Grenky are playing at
Speaker 1: the a L Central and I interestedly, I uh, I
Speaker 1: saw interesting piece by Ian Kinsler on the Players Tribune,
Speaker 1: and I like that. How we give you know, straight
Speaker 1: unfiltered He said, who are the top, you know, the
Speaker 1: hardest five pitchers in the AL Central to face? And
Speaker 1: he would know. He's been there with the Tigers for
Speaker 1: a long time. Obviously his number one is Klueber Okay,
Speaker 1: and he says that the Indian stud Cy Young Winner winner.
Speaker 1: The reason is because this guy can control both sides
Speaker 1: of the plate with all of his arsenal. He can
Speaker 1: throw fastballs and off speed pitches with kind of great
Speaker 1: confidence to both sides of the plate. And when he
Speaker 1: what his approaches is to try and take one of
Speaker 1: those away. He's not able to do that with Klueber.
Speaker 1: That's part of what makes Klueber the hardest picture to
Speaker 1: face in the Al Central in Kinseler opinion, He's gone
Speaker 1: only seven for thirty eight against him in his lifetime.
Speaker 1: The second hardest pitcher this, according to Ian Kinsler, is
Speaker 1: Danny Duffy of the Kansas City Royals. Says that Duffy
Speaker 1: has such late life on his fastball and that he
Speaker 1: works that top of the zone unlike any other picture
Speaker 1: in that division, and that's what really makes him tough.
Speaker 1: But then he also gets great break that curveball, so
Speaker 1: he lives upstairs with the fastball. Then that kind of
Speaker 1: big time curve is very difficult for Kindler deal with.
Speaker 1: Um He's only gone seven nine hitting below to fifty
Speaker 1: against Danny Duffy, another guy, another guy who he says
Speaker 1: is impossible to face. Obviously, this is, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of a no brainer. He lists Andrew Miller as his
Speaker 1: third hardest picture to face in the division. He says,
Speaker 1: one of the biggest parts, though about these relievers is
Speaker 1: that you only get one at bat against them in
Speaker 1: a game. You may be lucky to get two at
Speaker 1: bats against them in an entire series. You may only
Speaker 1: get four or five at bats against one of these
Speaker 1: guys in the entire year, making it very hard to
Speaker 1: kind of time them or whatever. And with Andredrew Miller,
Speaker 1: he's also this lanky, kind of long striding arms and
Speaker 1: legs flaring everywhere, and you know, the ninety eight mile
Speaker 1: an hour stuff from you know, kind of that that extended,
Speaker 1: you know, almost sidearm position that Andrew Miller slings it
Speaker 1: from is not easy to deal with for anybody. Kindlers
Speaker 1: three for nine in his career against Miller, another guy
Speaker 1: he said it was very hard for him to deal
Speaker 1: with even though he's hitting three hundred against him. His
Speaker 1: Jose Kintana of the White Sox. He says, and this
Speaker 1: being Ian Kindler, that Kintana actually has the best control
Speaker 1: in the division, That he has the best control with
Speaker 1: all five of his pictures, that he can put them
Speaker 1: wherever he wants, and he has clear intent with all
Speaker 1: of his pitches, sort of kind of like the idea
Speaker 1: of Klueber with control, but that Katana does it with
Speaker 1: five pitches, and that he's so strategic and has the
Speaker 1: ability to kind of set you up with things. So
Speaker 1: we had him on this list as well. The last
Speaker 1: person on this list and this is Ian Kindler's top
Speaker 1: five hardest pitchers to deal with in his division, the
Speaker 1: A L Central. The last one is Kelvin Herrera. Kelvin Herrera,
Speaker 1: the reliever for the Royals. This is a guy with
Speaker 1: a hundred mile an hour fastball. Okay, he's only three
Speaker 1: for fourteen again in the lifetime, he says, Okay, the
Speaker 1: hundred mile on our fastball is one thing, and similar
Speaker 1: to Miller, you're only gonna see him like war five
Speaker 1: times in an entire year, so it's hard to target.
Speaker 1: But that he has actually started to develop those secondary pictures, uh,
Speaker 1: the changeup and the slider, which makes him even that
Speaker 1: much more dangerous. So I think it's interesting to hear
Speaker 1: straight from the player's mouth and also understand what it is.
Speaker 1: It's not only velocity, it's control, it's intent, all sorts
Speaker 1: of things that make up you know, kind of how
Speaker 1: you have to battle against certain pictures. So I thought
Speaker 1: it was interesting to share what Ian Kinsler thought. When
Speaker 1: we come back though here on the Fantasy Freestyle, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get into it when my man Donnie Burns the
Speaker 1: Love Doctor, we made our picks on the series. The
Speaker 1: series is now over. So we're gonna recap what happened,
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about what the league and what the
Speaker 1: Calves need to do from here, and we're also gonna
Speaker 1: recap how your boy, Speeds the Spitting Statistician could have
Speaker 1: won you tons of cash on the NBA Finals. All
Speaker 1: that and more from uh your boy, Dane Martinez Speeds
Speaker 1: the Spitting Statistician here on the award winning Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Maybe the
Speaker 1: freestyle will get some awards eventually too, we'll find out. Regardless,
Speaker 1: we'll be here to hold you down. Come on back,
Speaker 1: a welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Of course, you may be listening
Speaker 1: live on our sports Byline affiliates around the country and
Speaker 1: around the world with the American Forces Radio Network. Of course,
Speaker 1: big shout out to the service men and women out there, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, getting a little taste of home. Hopefully, as
Speaker 1: we were recovering that NBA Finals, the servicemen and women
Speaker 1: out there listen to the Speeds and put a couple
Speaker 1: of shekels down because it would have helped them win
Speaker 1: that cash. We're gonna get into that a little bit
Speaker 1: later on with my man the Love Dr Donnie Burns,
Speaker 1: who you know, we had diverging opinions on the NBA Finals,
Speaker 1: So I'm sure we're gonna get into that, but first
Speaker 1: let me give you some news and notes around the NFL. Listen,
Speaker 1: I am excited to announced this first one. You know
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know, we
Speaker 1: collaborate and you know, kind of a part of the
Speaker 1: same umbrella with Impact Wrestling. Um, and if you didn't know,
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams, former Pittsburgh running back, is going to apparently
Speaker 1: maybe join Impact Wrestling. He will be competing with a
Speaker 1: character named Moose who also used to be in the
Speaker 1: NFL on July two. So welcome to the Broader family
Speaker 1: to D'Angelo Williams. Also big news in the NFL today,
Speaker 1: okay um. Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts quarterback stud quarterback has
Speaker 1: now said that after shoulder surgery that he had in
Speaker 1: the off season, he is unsure if he will be
Speaker 1: ready by training camp. Okay um. Remember Cam Newton had
Speaker 1: shoulder surgery Andrew Luck did as well. Cam is already
Speaker 1: about to throw. Andrew Luck is now saying he is
Speaker 1: unsure about training camp. That is certainly something we are
Speaker 1: going to monitor. Also, we want to note that former
Speaker 1: Charters offensive lineman King Dunlop has an his retirement from
Speaker 1: the NFL after nine seasons. King as we like to
Speaker 1: call him, does in fact turns thirty two this year
Speaker 1: in September, so we wish him well. Last news and
Speaker 1: note that I'll give you is John Ross may miss
Speaker 1: the start of camp and the Bengals are in trouble.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, they may miss John Ross at the
Speaker 1: starter camp. Joe Bernard may miss some of the regular
Speaker 1: season games in September. Let me tell you something. We're
Speaker 1: gonna start getting into my team by team previews starting
Speaker 1: next week. Okay, We're gonna give you every team a
Speaker 1: breakdown who I like, who I don't like, the diamonds,
Speaker 1: the gazes, the over unders, and all sorts of things. Okay,
Speaker 1: to get you ready for football season. I'm going to
Speaker 1: be fading the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals lost two of
Speaker 1: their starting offensive lineman and in response, they did not
Speaker 1: go ahead and shore that up. Instead, they went for playmakers,
Speaker 1: guys like Ross, Guys like Joe Mixon and I don't
Speaker 1: know if Marvin lewis maybe kind of a lame duck
Speaker 1: coach there. We'll see if Andy Dalton can stand in
Speaker 1: there without an off pensive line support. I am fading
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals, but you will start getting my team
Speaker 1: by team previews starting next week here on the Fantasy Freestyles.
Speaker 1: We'd go through summer and get all the way into
Speaker 1: you know, prime fantasy football drafting season. And let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. I hit my baseball ones left and right.
Speaker 1: I gave you things like Robbie Ray. I gave you
Speaker 1: the over on the Colorado Rocky. So I encourage you
Speaker 1: guys to tune in starting next week where speeds the
Speaker 1: spitting Statistician. We'll get into football, going team by team,
Speaker 1: giving you what you need getting ready for your fantasy
Speaker 1: football drafts. We here at Fantasy Sports Network are also
Speaker 1: going to because we launched the Rhoto Experts Draft preview
Speaker 1: for the NFL tomorrow. That's something you definitely need to know. Remember,
Speaker 1: I've been telling you about the in season fantasy baseball package, Well,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Over there at Rhoto Experts,
Speaker 1: we got the draft package getting ready to launch for
Speaker 1: fantasy football as well. I'm talking Scott Angle, I'm talking
Speaker 1: Jake Seely and everything you need to make sure you
Speaker 1: get ready for the fantasy football season. But that's starting tomorrow, okay,
Speaker 1: because today we have to tie a nice neat little
Speaker 1: bow on the NBA Finals. So let me bring in
Speaker 1: my man, Donnie Burns, the basketball correspondent, and Donnie Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1: It is just his time, okay. Thirty nine points in
Speaker 1: the clinching game was on fire at stretches when fourteen
Speaker 1: of twenty for the field, And what I thought was
Speaker 1: great was that everybody seemed to understand and defer to
Speaker 1: the fact that it was in fact his time. He
Speaker 1: gets the m v P Award. Both Clay and Draymond
Speaker 1: and interviews kind of gave credit to Kevin Durant, Draymond
Speaker 1: saying that apparently Durant was their consolation prize after he
Speaker 1: messed up last year. So um, I'm happy. I even
Speaker 1: saw a video of Durant last night in the Bay
Speaker 1: Area getting out of his car to just like mob
Speaker 1: with fans and holding the m v P trophy. A great,
Speaker 1: great thing for Kevin Durant and the Warriors. They finally
Speaker 1: win their championship, two out of three seasons, making their
Speaker 1: claim as one of the greatest teams of all time.
Speaker 1: The other thing I'll say about this on the other side,
Speaker 1: Lebron James forty one, thirteen and eight absolutely ridiculous. And
Speaker 1: I also I gotta give credit to another man who
Speaker 1: we have talked, um disparagingly about at times on this show.
Speaker 1: Yo j R. Smith was in a zoe last night,
Speaker 1: seven of eight from three. But it's still it was
Speaker 1: not enough. Uh you thought it might have been, as
Speaker 1: you thought the Calves were still in it, but uh,
Speaker 1: at this point you gotta admit that that that train
Speaker 1: was just rolling too hard, too faster. Man. The Warriors
Speaker 1: look great. Yeah, I wouldn't go as far as everyone
Speaker 1: else saying Kevin Duran is the best player on the planet.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying all yeah, no, I know I me
Speaker 1: and you were pretty much on the same train. Lebron
Speaker 1: is the best player on the planet. Um. The Calves really,
Speaker 1: as I watched the game, they're kind of in a
Speaker 1: similar boat. And that at the Celtics they need another score.
Speaker 1: They don't, uh, they have scores, but they need another one.
Speaker 1: They need another one. And the fact that Lebron can
Speaker 1: do whatever he wants. The fact that Kyrie can get
Speaker 1: to the whole or get his shot whenever he wants.
Speaker 1: The fact that in stretches j R. Smith is as
Speaker 1: lethal as it gets. The fact that Kevin Love had
Speaker 1: his best season as a Cavalier is still not enough
Speaker 1: for you. I find it interesting, But Yo, uh, Donny,
Speaker 1: we need to when you see my man the night
Speaker 1: ol JP, tell him I need him to hook me
Speaker 1: up because Yo speeds was hot in the NBA Finals. Donny,
Speaker 1: can you vouch for all this? Did I not say
Speaker 1: you needed to go and put money on the under
Speaker 1: in game one and did that not hit you? Did?
Speaker 1: Did I not say in Game three you needed the
Speaker 1: over on j R. Smith points and it wound up hitting.
Speaker 1: Did I not say that last night in the clinching
Speaker 1: game that Lebron's rebounds plus assist total would be over
Speaker 1: ninth and you need to throw some loot on that? Also?
Speaker 1: Definitely did? And did I not say that the way
Speaker 1: to make money on the series price was to not
Speaker 1: bet Golden State, but to cover both Golden State and
Speaker 1: in five and Golden State in six as a way
Speaker 1: to make your money on the series. Wow? So what
Speaker 1: I mean what do what do? What do I need
Speaker 1: to do, Donni? What do I need to do to
Speaker 1: have people start listening? They should be listening already. UM Now,
Speaker 1: I did want to ask you though, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: like I said, they need another score. And I know
Speaker 1: that sounds weird, but if Kevin Kevin Love apparently doesn't
Speaker 1: show up in big games, Um, what do you suppose
Speaker 1: they go out and do? So I got that's that's
Speaker 1: where we need to do. Now we need to spin
Speaker 1: it forward. Okay, we need to spin it forward. Okay. Um,
Speaker 1: I've heard a few things. I've heard a few things.
Speaker 1: I've heard this Paul George talk. I've heard this Carmelo
Speaker 1: Anthony talk. I've heard this Rudy Gay talk. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about some people that maybe out
Speaker 1: out there, that maybe out there and ready to join.
Speaker 1: But here's the other thing I want to ask you.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing I want to ask you, um, don
Speaker 1: One of the things you mentioned, and one of the
Speaker 1: things that we were talking about all season long, is that, um,
Speaker 1: Lebron was resting, right, Lebron was resting a little too much. Well,
Speaker 1: now we find out that we didn't need to be
Speaker 1: the number one seed. He didn't need to be the
Speaker 1: number one seed in this and he was resting all
Speaker 1: the time, and he looked a little tired. Should they have,
Speaker 1: in essence, rested him even more, I really don't think so.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of things that went kind of
Speaker 1: a stray in the series. One was, you know, Kevin
Speaker 1: Love's awful play at times, and they needed the Kyrie
Speaker 1: that showed up twice to show up the whole time.
Speaker 1: It's good to know, at least for the Calves, that
Speaker 1: Kyrie is still very much almost unguardable at times and
Speaker 1: he feels but it's not gonna matter. It's not gonna
Speaker 1: matter when you're going up against the firepower that they
Speaker 1: have in Golden Sla. I'm saying they don't necessarily they
Speaker 1: needed another score, but they need to separate some of
Speaker 1: the you know, older vets they took a shot on
Speaker 1: this year and didn't work out in the finals, right right,
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. Okay, um,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about the fact that the Golden
Speaker 1: State Warriors have already come out and said that they
Speaker 1: will not visit the Trump White House as per the
Speaker 1: custom of the NBA champion. They're they're very close knit team.
Speaker 1: If you kind of follow them, they're pretty much on
Speaker 1: the same page with everything. Um, this doesn't surprise me,
Speaker 1: and it won't surprise me if you see in the
Speaker 1: offseason a lot of these guys taking pay cuts to
Speaker 1: you know, keep guys like Sean Livingston, who are men
Speaker 1: that big, big pedestal for what they need to work
Speaker 1: on is keeping him. Okay, So that brings me to
Speaker 1: my poll question, and we got that up right now
Speaker 1: at F and T s Y Radio. You can always
Speaker 1: follow me at your boys spitting speeds here. We already
Speaker 1: have over hundreds of votes right now. That was my question.
Speaker 1: Which of these you know, core four shall we say
Speaker 1: to borrow return from the Yankees? Would be the first
Speaker 1: to go if they can't keep everybody. We've seen this
Speaker 1: with championship teams before, Steph Carry. Will it be Draymond,
Speaker 1: Will it be Clay or will it be k d Um?
Speaker 1: Who do you think is first? I mean, you're talking
Speaker 1: about Livingston right and other guys they need to do now,
Speaker 1: but in two years Clay comes up, in three years
Speaker 1: it's Draymond. Who do you think is the first to go? Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: and you know, he's one of my favorite players and
Speaker 1: it stinks to say that, but it would be him,
Speaker 1: Draymond and Kevin Durant if I had to pick two
Speaker 1: people on the team that are irreplaceable in their own
Speaker 1: specific ways. I know Steph Curry greatest shooter ever at
Speaker 1: this point. Um, Kevin Durant and Draymond I think are safe.
Speaker 1: Draymond does so much for that team and they you
Speaker 1: saw Kevin Durant in the final averaging thirty points. Um,
Speaker 1: those are two irreplaceable guys. I'd say the first to
Speaker 1: be shift off B Clay. Uh, you know they need
Speaker 1: to keep fair enough, and of our voters do in
Speaker 1: fact agree with you that Clay would be the first
Speaker 1: to go check it out. Um, we gotta take a
Speaker 1: quick commercial break, but when we come back, we're gonna
Speaker 1: put the fun and functional sports radio as always another
Speaker 1: reason why I hate the n C double A with
Speaker 1: their rules and regulations. When I tell you this story,
Speaker 1: you're gonna wind up hating them as well. We're also
Speaker 1: gonna talk about some some changes to the sports gambling
Speaker 1: landscape around this country and why your boy picked another
Speaker 1: called shot with that Floyd Connor nonsense We're gonna get
Speaker 1: into all of that when we come back from a break, Okay,
Speaker 1: right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
Speaker 1: and of course on our Sports Byline affiliates around the
Speaker 1: country and with the American Forces Radio Network to the
Speaker 1: servicemen and women out there getting a little taste to
Speaker 1: home from your boys. Speeds the Spitting Statistician, I will
Speaker 1: see you right after the break. We'll be right back
Speaker 1: a you know what it is, it should boy Dane
Speaker 1: Martinez a k a. Spees, the Spitting Statistician, And we
Speaker 1: are back on the Fantasy Freestyle with my man Don Burns,
Speaker 1: the love doctor and basketball correspondent. You know, Donnie real quick,
Speaker 1: because we didn't completely finish this what happens now? One
Speaker 1: of the questions I really wanted to ask you, Don
Speaker 1: is what do you think is a bigger gap the
Speaker 1: rest of the Eastern Conference to the Calves or the
Speaker 1: Calves to the Warriors. Who has more catching up to do?
Speaker 1: I think the West has. They're fairly close. If you
Speaker 1: remember back um, the Spurs were up twenty three on
Speaker 1: them before and you know, you hear rumblings of Chris
Speaker 1: Paul maybe wanting to sign with the Spurs, so they
Speaker 1: aren't as far as people think. But the Calves have
Speaker 1: a little bit more work to do than we all
Speaker 1: thought kind of watching the the last two games. Like
Speaker 1: I said, they need a score man otherwise they're not
Speaker 1: gonna be able to keep up. Kevin Durant is playing
Speaker 1: at a high level. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, So we shall see,
Speaker 1: and you know we do. We will have the NBA
Speaker 1: Draft coming up at the end of next week, um,
Speaker 1: and then obviously free agency will start off on July first.
Speaker 1: To see which of these gaps do in fact getting
Speaker 1: the most closed the Eastern Conference towards the Calves or
Speaker 1: the gap that remains between the Calves and the champion
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors. Let me keep it moving though here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyles, we put the fun in Functional
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Donnie Burns, Um, I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: heard this story, Okay, so I want to get into
Speaker 1: it real quick with you, and we have some audio
Speaker 1: from the guy as well. We're talking about a college
Speaker 1: kicker from the University of Central Florida. His name is
Speaker 1: Donald de la Hey. Okay, Donald de la Hey as
Speaker 1: a kicker, but you know he's a college guy, a
Speaker 1: student athlete down in Florida. I know how much you
Speaker 1: love Florida. There, Donnie Burns, um, so check this out.
Speaker 1: He has a YouTube channel. Okay, he has a YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: His YouTube channel has fifty four thousand subscribers and gets
Speaker 1: two million views. Okay, so his YouTube channel is now
Speaker 1: so big that his YouTube channel has started to generate
Speaker 1: ad money. Okay, but as you know, as a student
Speaker 1: athlete in the n C Double A, you cannot make
Speaker 1: money off your license or earn money like that, so
Speaker 1: it has become an issue. Let me hear uh. We
Speaker 1: have a clip right now from his YouTube channel. This
Speaker 1: is Donald de la Hey from the University of Central Florida.
Speaker 1: He's a kicker, and he in two parts, is going
Speaker 1: to explain first kind of why he was kind of
Speaker 1: like called into the office by what he calls the
Speaker 1: suits upstairs. And then he reacts to the meeting that
Speaker 1: he had with officials trying to explain what was going on.
Speaker 1: And he's a marketing major, for God's sakes, and he's
Speaker 1: marketing himself. But now the n C double A is
Speaker 1: saying that he cannot. I think it's very interesting. Check
Speaker 1: got part of what he had to say here Donny,
Speaker 1: people upstairs aren't happy with my videos and they feel
Speaker 1: like I'm violin n C double A rule whatnot. And
Speaker 1: it was all, you can't do this, you can't do that,
Speaker 1: blah bla blah blah. I mean, I don't understand why,
Speaker 1: but I mean, who am I gonna say? What is
Speaker 1: in the rule book and what is not? Anyways, like
Speaker 1: I said, some people ain't been happy with what I've
Speaker 1: been doing. I'm kind of trying to figure out a
Speaker 1: way around that. I guess I can't make any videos
Speaker 1: that make it obvious that I'm a student athlete, because
Speaker 1: that makes it seem like I'm using my likeness in
Speaker 1: my image to make money and all this, which I'm
Speaker 1: really not so Okay, so check it out. This is
Speaker 1: him before he has his meeting with the n C
Speaker 1: double A. Okay, now, my man, Donnie's gonna play you
Speaker 1: what happened after he had his meeting, when they were
Speaker 1: in essence, they told him he needed to shut it down.
Speaker 1: Even though his videos were kind of general. You know,
Speaker 1: it's about him like just training, it's about him like
Speaker 1: making trick kicks, which we say on YouTube and the
Speaker 1: internet all the time. And he even then goes into
Speaker 1: why he needs some of this money to help support
Speaker 1: his family back in Costa Rica. I think it. You know.
Speaker 1: This is him after the meeting, getting real serious about it.
Speaker 1: Check this part out. This meeting went well, but it
Speaker 1: didn't go up. At the same time, basically, I'm not
Speaker 1: allowed to make any money off my YouTube videos. So
Speaker 1: I'm working hard, basically like a job, film and editing,
Speaker 1: creating ideas, doing things of that sort, and I'm not
Speaker 1: allowed to make any money and if I do, then
Speaker 1: bad things happen. I just can't even think right now, bro,
Speaker 1: because I feel like they're making me pick between my
Speaker 1: passion and what I love to do, make videos, entertained,
Speaker 1: be creative, and my other passion playing football. I really
Speaker 1: got some decisions to make decisions. This is a decisions
Speaker 1: to make, not a lot of time to make those decisions.
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see, man, and we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: Should be honest with you, guys, I love the game
Speaker 1: of football. But I love what I'm doing. I really
Speaker 1: love what I'm doing. I've been passionate about this since
Speaker 1: I was thirteen. Like I told you, guys, I been
Speaker 1: on my computer editing since I was third team. I've
Speaker 1: been around camera since way before that. My dad actually
Speaker 1: had a video camera. You've blogged around you know, our
Speaker 1: life and whatnot, so I think that's where I got
Speaker 1: my psition from. This is tough, man. It really breaks
Speaker 1: my heart. I really might have to make a choice
Speaker 1: between playing football college football and making YouTube videos, something
Speaker 1: I love so much. It's really tough the thinking to do.
Speaker 1: But hopefully God's with me. He push the right decision
Speaker 1: in my mind, pus the right decision on head. Like
Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm not making money legally.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're selling doing He's really, he's really,
Speaker 1: I mean, his family is. He needs it to help
Speaker 1: his money, his family in Costa Rica with bills. Don
Speaker 1: you used to be in college. I used to be
Speaker 1: in college. We know about these rules about athletes not uh,
Speaker 1: you know, profiting off their likeness. This, this was somewhat
Speaker 1: heart wrenching. What would you do if you were in
Speaker 1: this guy's situation. He's got a YouTube channel that has
Speaker 1: two million views and over fifty thousands subscribers, which is
Speaker 1: just slightly more than the Fantasy Freestyle, I must admit,
Speaker 1: but the n C double a coming down hard on him,
Speaker 1: saying he has to either stop playing collegiate football or
Speaker 1: stop his YouTube channel because of the ad money. What
Speaker 1: would you do in this situation that I could tell
Speaker 1: you for certain after even before that video started, Um,
Speaker 1: I would tell him to stick with this marketing thing.
Speaker 1: A lot of NFL players, even if he does make
Speaker 1: it to the NFL, they've struggled with finding jobs afterwards.
Speaker 1: And it seems like this kid is much not much
Speaker 1: more passionate, but he's more passionate about this idea of
Speaker 1: making videos and making people happy. Whatever he does on YouTube,
Speaker 1: it seems to be that he likes that more than football,
Speaker 1: and I would probably stick with that. Would I tell
Speaker 1: him to just like chase his dreams dream that seems
Speaker 1: to be. It seems to be that it does. It
Speaker 1: would be. If it wasn't, he wouldn't have such a
Speaker 1: hard time choosing fair enough, fair enough, But you know,
Speaker 1: you never know the path if he makes it to
Speaker 1: the nf fell. You know, his fame, Richard is all
Speaker 1: that good stuff, that he could really help his family
Speaker 1: in Costa Rica. That's true, but you know, some of
Speaker 1: the average life band for an NFL player sometimes could
Speaker 1: be upwards of like four years. So what do you
Speaker 1: do after that? He goes back to chat. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't. I don't know if it works
Speaker 1: like that. We shall see, we shall see. But let
Speaker 1: me tell you something, just another reason to poo poo
Speaker 1: the n C double A and their regulations. Um as
Speaker 1: we keep it moving though here and keeping the fun
Speaker 1: and functional sports radio. Next thing, I have another top.
Speaker 1: I remember I didn't want to go too hard into
Speaker 1: a certain topic on last night's show. Uh, Donnie after
Speaker 1: after finding out that Red Tube was the new sponsor
Speaker 1: of a of a. Well, now I feel okay to
Speaker 1: go back to it because the tie here is like
Speaker 1: this college football player didn't know if he could make
Speaker 1: his money right because he was a student athlete. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're familiar with the Coastal Carolina
Speaker 1: cheerleading squad. Don are you familiar with them? I'm not? Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: they were also making money, not necessarily on their likeness.
Speaker 1: But what if I told you that the entire Coastal
Speaker 1: Carolina cheerleading team has been suspended because they were all
Speaker 1: and some people are saying that they were kind of
Speaker 1: like hazed and forced and bullied. They all um set
Speaker 1: up accounts on something called seeking Arrangements dot com. Really yeah,
Speaker 1: and what if I told you that this entire cheerleading
Speaker 1: squad had you know, let's say, profiles on this website
Speaker 1: called seeking Arrangements dot com. Twenty six of the cheerleaders
Speaker 1: had accounts there. Um, and let's just say this was
Speaker 1: a site where if you wanted an arrangement, specifically with
Speaker 1: a UM woman, you could go and have that arrangement.
Speaker 1: For example, one of the cheerleaders said that, um, she
Speaker 1: escorted somebody to a New York steakhouse and got eight
Speaker 1: hundred dollars out of the deal. There's another young lady
Speaker 1: who said that she was um fed, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of a role as a what she calls a
Speaker 1: shot girl at a Myrtle Beach strip club. These are
Speaker 1: the kinds of um placements they were getting from Seeking
Speaker 1: Arrangements dot Com. And the entire team has been suspended.
Speaker 1: But a lawyer for the team is saying that this
Speaker 1: is disparaging against the women because that men's sports programs
Speaker 1: around the country have you know, engaged in criminal activity,
Speaker 1: had had drug charges and all sorts of stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and the entire team never got suspended. But that is
Speaker 1: what's happening with the Coastal Carolina cheerleading squad. Donnie, let
Speaker 1: me get your take on this. First of all, do
Speaker 1: you understand why I couldn't do this right after the
Speaker 1: soccer story yesterday? Part two? What do you think about
Speaker 1: the gender bias that this team's lawyer is bringing up?
Speaker 1: And three? I mean, do you think this is like
Speaker 1: infringing on a college students right to try to earn
Speaker 1: some some money for you know, for the for the uh,
Speaker 1: for the mess hall. I do understand why you didn't
Speaker 1: bring it up yesterday. I'm not following quite what exactly
Speaker 1: are they getting in Chubb before making the money or
Speaker 1: the type of ways they were making. I think I
Speaker 1: think it's both. I think it's the scandal that was involved,
Speaker 1: but also just the idea that they were Remember as
Speaker 1: a student athlete, you can't go out and get your
Speaker 1: own employment. It's the same as this this college football
Speaker 1: player that can't have his YouTube channel. It's the same
Speaker 1: as Terrell Prior getting tattoos at Ohio State. That's all
Speaker 1: improper benefits. You can't make money as a student athlete.
Speaker 1: I was just saying, I don't really like the part.
Speaker 1: I don't like the money, the part where they make
Speaker 1: money in general, as we just watched a video, but
Speaker 1: I don't like the way it sounded like they were
Speaker 1: making money. Listen, I'm just getting it from the article, ok,
Speaker 1: the article that I read hashtag real news, no fake news,
Speaker 1: no alternative. That's probably two fold story of why they're
Speaker 1: getting So do you think the team should be suspended?
Speaker 1: Uh M, are you riding with the coastal Caroline? Like?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure I probably am, But I think
Speaker 1: you should be from the higher ups like captains on
Speaker 1: the team. No, I came from the university. The university
Speaker 1: suspended the team when it came to light that this
Speaker 1: is what was happening. And they also described it as
Speaker 1: sort of hazing that like they had to indoctrinate all
Speaker 1: that they had to They had to annets and sign
Speaker 1: up for an account with Seeking Arrangements dot com. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm with the school on this one. That doesn't sound
Speaker 1: very tasteful for tasteful tasteful. Speaking of non tasteful activity,
Speaker 1: remember how I said I'm gonna start giving you my
Speaker 1: team by team previews when we got into next week
Speaker 1: because we're really starting to get into fantasy football. And
Speaker 1: I also told you I'm dropping hints that one team
Speaker 1: I'm going to fade I believe this year is the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. They're over under is eight and a half.
Speaker 1: I don't think they make it this year. I am
Speaker 1: really concerned about the fact that they lost two of
Speaker 1: their starting offensive lineman and Andy Dalton is not exactly
Speaker 1: the guy who stands up to pressure in his face.
Speaker 1: In response, in my opinion, Lane Duck coach Marvin Lewis
Speaker 1: went out and got playmakers, and one of them is
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, who, as we know, had a slightly checkered
Speaker 1: past at Oklahoma. Did I tell you the two guys
Speaker 1: that he's either training with or looking as a mentor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they're not looking like the Yeah. Pac Man Jones,
Speaker 1: his Cincinnati Bengals teammate, and then his workout buddy all
Speaker 1: Summer Long is also an Oklahoma alumni, Adrian Peterson. You
Speaker 1: think if this is the kind of UH drama or
Speaker 1: baggage that you're trying to kind of step away from
Speaker 1: in your image as you move into the NFL, these
Speaker 1: would not be the guys you let take under your wing, right,
Speaker 1: Donnie Well. The Bengals front office is either there not
Speaker 1: intelligent even beings, or they just don't care. I don't
Speaker 1: think that. I don't know which one it is. But
Speaker 1: like I said, they're sick and tired of not winning
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I think they are going to struggle to
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs this year in the a f C.
Speaker 1: But we'll be giving you every team spotlight as we go,
Speaker 1: starting next week when it comes to Fantasy football. Yo.
Speaker 1: When we come back though here on the Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go around the league real quick. We're gonna
Speaker 1: check in on the poll and coming up next on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyles, the Fantasy Black Book with Joe Pisapia
Speaker 1: and Maddie Modica. We're gonna find out what they're talking
Speaker 1: about next hour as well it should Boyd Dane Martinez
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. And as always, I want to give
Speaker 1: a shout out to our sports byline affiliates around the country.
Speaker 1: We were talking about kids in Florida trying to earn
Speaker 1: some money, so big shout out to the people out
Speaker 1: there at Tampa ten forty a m. W HBO and
Speaker 1: out there in Orlando w h O ten eighty A
Speaker 1: m it should boy, Dave Martinez speeds and spitting statistician.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after this. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let's
Speaker 1: go around the league real quick. I got some early
Speaker 1: scores for you. Dodgers have jumped out to a two
Speaker 1: nothing lead on Trevor Don't call me Jack Bauer, ya
Speaker 1: c L Puig with his tenth home run of the season.
Speaker 1: A's up on the Marlins in Miami and Jose Arena
Speaker 1: up one nothing that game. In the top of the third,
Speaker 1: Paul Goldschmidt has hit his fifteenth home run of the
Speaker 1: season as the Diamondbacks have a four nothing lead on
Speaker 1: the Tigers in Detroit. To support Zack Grinky tonight. Remember
Speaker 1: I told you he's somebody to go with tonight in
Speaker 1: case you didn't want to pay all the way up
Speaker 1: for Clayton Kersh. I also think c C. Sabathia against
Speaker 1: that Angel's lineup without trout is a good cash game play.
Speaker 1: The Cubs are all over Zach Wheeler and the Mets.
Speaker 1: Anthony Rizzo let off the game with his fourteenth homer
Speaker 1: of the season, and uh Ian Happ has also gone yard.
Speaker 1: The Cubs are up six one in the top of
Speaker 1: the second one nothing, Red Sox on the Phillies, and
Speaker 1: the bottom of the second the Rays are up on
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays for nothing. Logan Morrison with his eighteenth
Speaker 1: home run of the season. We also have Rockies and
Speaker 1: Pirates are scoreless. Nationals up on the Braves three nothing,
Speaker 1: Ryan Zimmerman with his eighteenth and Daniel Murphy with his
Speaker 1: eleventh home run of the season. Remember we got that
Speaker 1: pole question up there right now, and that at F
Speaker 1: and T s Y Radio and at spitting speeds, sixty
Speaker 1: three percent of you say that if the Warriors are
Speaker 1: not able to keep it together, it will ultimately be
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson who is the first one to keep it
Speaker 1: moving and maybe trying to be the man somewhere else
Speaker 1: with that Max deal that he will most likely get
Speaker 1: starting tomorrow on the Fantasy Freestyle. We shut the door
Speaker 1: on the NBA season until like the draft in free agency,
Speaker 1: but we will be talking about that Big Three. I
Speaker 1: got some more Big three hype of my man Donnie Burns,
Speaker 1: the Love Doctor, and we're gonna start to get ready
Speaker 1: as we go into football season. The Road of Experts
Speaker 1: launches its package. I'm gonna start giving team by team previews,
Speaker 1: big things as we start to look ahead to football.
Speaker 1: Here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, but up next
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, here is Joe Pisapia
Speaker 1: Matt Modica on the Fantasy Black Book. I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna probably give you a little Jeremy Macklan Eric Decker.
Speaker 1: They're also gonna tell you what is going on with
Speaker 1: Yankees and why they are probably now the class of
Speaker 1: the a L Tune in for that. I'll be back
Speaker 1: tomorrow with my man Donnie Burns. It speeds The Spitting
