Speaker 1: the struggle could be move being forward. But also because
Speaker 1: this is a brand new time the Fantasy Freestyle, a
Speaker 1: brand new time for the spitting statistician. Okay, I was
Speaker 1: telling y'all about this last week. We are now moving
Speaker 1: into a new schedule. A lot of stuff going down
Speaker 1: for speeds. Okay, Fantasy Freestyle has a new home, and
Speaker 1: that home is right here right now. We're gonna be
Speaker 1: going six to seven pm on Mondays for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 1: That's got a lot of different reasons behind it. One
Speaker 1: is because you know we're winding down the football season.
Speaker 1: We now know who the two teams are that will
Speaker 1: be in the Super Bowl. They are before me right here.
Speaker 1: We got the Rams and the Pats. I got my
Speaker 1: dammit doll in there. Shout out to Jilly Dilley, got
Speaker 1: my damnit dial right there. Because also I was going damnit, damnit,
Speaker 1: damn it a lot of times when the Kansas City
Speaker 1: Chiefs could not stop New England in overtime right on
Speaker 1: a third and ten, I was telling people, Yo, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be Julian Edelman over the middle. And what
Speaker 1: do you know, Julian Edelman over the middle. Right, I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, watch Gronk singled up on Eric Barry.
Speaker 1: He's gonna go there on third down. Bang, that's what
Speaker 1: he did, you know. So I was going damn it, dammit,
Speaker 1: damn it all right. But also because as some of
Speaker 1: you may know, if you may hear, if you listen
Speaker 1: to this network all the time here on the award
Speaker 1: winning Fantasy Sports radio network, I am the new co
Speaker 1: host of a brand new morning show. It's called Make
Speaker 1: It Rain with my new guy Joe Aneri over here.
Speaker 1: He's down there in Miami. I'm doing it in New York.
Speaker 1: We got the East Side covered, and we got it
Speaker 1: all covered on how to win your leagues and win
Speaker 1: that cash. But the thing is that is now six
Speaker 1: to nine a m. People. All right, so you're gonna
Speaker 1: wake up early with me every week day, So I means,
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta dial it back a little bit
Speaker 1: on the evenings, all right, So I just want to
Speaker 1: let you all know about that. We do, however, have
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to get to since we last spoke. Well,
Speaker 1: clearly the biggest thing here are the a f C
Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship game. I do want to tell
Speaker 1: you though, two pieces of news real quick. Uh, the
Speaker 1: NFL for next season, UM gave out their London games.
Speaker 1: We know he's gonna be in the three London games.
Speaker 1: We know he's gonna be in in Mexico City game.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the Chiefs and the Chargers. I find
Speaker 1: that one interesting. And also the NFL has declared today
Speaker 1: that they're going to investigate if pass interference is going
Speaker 1: to be reviewable. Interesting timing, NFL. That brings me to
Speaker 1: my pole question right now, which, by the way, is
Speaker 1: which of the Saints exits Over the last two NFL
Speaker 1: playoffs seasons were more excruciating? You know, which is the
Speaker 1: harder one to stomach? Was it this year? What happened yesterday?
Speaker 1: And boy will we get into that the fact there
Speaker 1: was no call on that pass interference call and then
Speaker 1: they ultimately go to overtime and lose. Or was it
Speaker 1: a year ago in this spot when they had the
Speaker 1: Stefon Digs crazy catch miracle and score up there in Minnesota?
Speaker 1: Sean Payton and Drew Brees have lost in excruciating ways
Speaker 1: in the playoffs in the last two years. Which one
Speaker 1: was worse for you? Is it recency bias or you know,
Speaker 1: was this one truly more painful to watch? We'll get
Speaker 1: into that a little bit later on on as well.
Speaker 1: All right, So here's where we gotta start. Let's start
Speaker 1: with the A f C game, because I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people are really the big headline, uh for
Speaker 1: most people is just officiating that no call in the
Speaker 1: NFC game. We can get to that. For me, it's
Speaker 1: the A f C game, all right. And and for me,
Speaker 1: this takeaway is Brady and Belichick do it again. You know,
Speaker 1: I think that is the top line takeaway all season long.
Speaker 1: And I was among you all season long. I was
Speaker 1: trying to find ways, find reasons why the Patriots wouldn't
Speaker 1: be where they are right now with their damn helmet
Speaker 1: in front of me representing the a f C in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I tried all season long. Gronk is
Speaker 1: the shell of his former self. Brady doesn't look the same.
Speaker 1: The weapons just aren't there. Right. Well, thirty other NFL
Speaker 1: teams are trying to be where the Patriots are right now,
Speaker 1: you know, and so they just do it again. On
Speaker 1: Wikipedia they change the a f C Championship Games definition. Literally,
Speaker 1: I'm not making this up. Someone literally on Wikipedia changed
Speaker 1: the definition to be the a f C Championship Game
Speaker 1: is where a team from the a f C gets
Speaker 1: to play the New England Patriots for the right to
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. There he is. I gotta tip
Speaker 1: my cap, I guess to Tom Brady, Bill Belichick. Brady
Speaker 1: has been a quarterback there for now seventeen years. They
Speaker 1: have been to the Super Bowl nine of those years,
Speaker 1: over fifty of the time. I gotta tell you something.
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman at the center of this game, right he
Speaker 1: puts up, in my opinion, a very important game, all right.
Speaker 1: He puts up a nice little stat line. Seven catches, nineties,
Speaker 1: six yards. Okay, he was at the center of it all.
Speaker 1: That muff punt, whether it hit him or not, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you right now, I personally think it may
Speaker 1: have graced his left thumb. Other people I'm watching with
Speaker 1: was like, nah, I didn't touch him. Here's the thing, though,
Speaker 1: if there is not conclusive evidence, you're supposed to stick
Speaker 1: with the call on the field right wherever you're watching,
Speaker 1: at the bar, at your friend's house. What by yourself?
Speaker 1: I don't care. Were there people reasonable people there who
Speaker 1: saw it differently, who disagreed, who couldn't tell you for
Speaker 1: sure if that is true, whether you agreed with them
Speaker 1: or not, you have to stick with the call on
Speaker 1: the field. So I find that interesting. Edelman, though, in
Speaker 1: a true ball don't lie rathshid Wallace kind of moment,
Speaker 1: then his next opportunity ball goes through his hands, gets
Speaker 1: picked right, so he's in the middle of it all,
Speaker 1: and then he is all over over time with like
Speaker 1: two or three third down conversions. And that's what I think.
Speaker 1: That's where I want to go with this, Okay, because honestly,
Speaker 1: and I hear so many people today talking about have
Speaker 1: you got to change the overtime rules? How Patty Mahomes
Speaker 1: was left on the sidelines the Great m v P.
Speaker 1: Patty Mahomes was left on the sidelines. No, that's not
Speaker 1: what happened people, all right. In the NFC game, the
Speaker 1: Saints won the toss, they win the game, right, So
Speaker 1: it's not just like, oh, they won the coin to us,
Speaker 1: they won the game. BS, play defense, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You had multiple opportuny unities on third down to get
Speaker 1: off the field. But then again, there were also multiple
Speaker 1: times when the NFL was like, let's give it to
Speaker 1: Tom Brady that roughing the passer. I don't care. If
Speaker 1: you are the biggest Patriots fan out there, you could
Speaker 1: be uh, you know, you could be my man Jim
Speaker 1: Ross right now, Okay, there's no way that's passing inferre
Speaker 1: and he barely gah not passing here and roughing the
Speaker 1: pastor he barely grazed them. That offsides call on d
Speaker 1: Ford were you were lucky because Tom Brady threw another
Speaker 1: interception right there that ended the game. All right. By
Speaker 1: the way that Hogan played down the left sideline, I
Speaker 1: kind of think that ball moved too, all right, So
Speaker 1: don't tell me, are you when the coin flip you
Speaker 1: in the game. B S play some defense, all right,
Speaker 1: because in the other game. As you see, some defense
Speaker 1: was played and we had a different outcome. So to me,
Speaker 1: those are some very important things that went down in
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship game. Here's what I'll say.
Speaker 1: That's got a lot of luck whether it's Edelman or Brady, right,
Speaker 1: But on the other side of things, you know, Patty
Speaker 1: Mahomes was awesome. I think he outplayed Tom Brady if
Speaker 1: you want to know the truth, and the stats would
Speaker 1: actually say the same thing technically, you know what I
Speaker 1: mean in terms of uh oh, I don't know, like
Speaker 1: say q B R and stuff, you know, or PF
Speaker 1: grades all right, but I think it comes down to
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. I think Andy Reid, you know, failed to adjust.
Speaker 1: It was clear and we talked about it all the
Speaker 1: time that uh Belichick, what he likes to do is
Speaker 1: make you play left handed right. It makes you take
Speaker 1: away what you do best. And we had arguments, not arguments,
Speaker 1: We had discussions here at this table yesterday on lineup
Speaker 1: Block Live when I was here with my man Mike
Speaker 1: blew It with Keith Zeri who's joining this network, my
Speaker 1: man Joe Vernieri for Make It Rain right, and we
Speaker 1: were saying, what do you think Patriots do do they
Speaker 1: try to take away Travis Kelsey? Do they try to
Speaker 1: take away Tyreek Hill? Guess what they did? Both? They
Speaker 1: did both. Travis Kelsey three catches for twenty three yards
Speaker 1: and a touchdown, Tyreek Hill one catch for forty two yards.
Speaker 1: If I told you that Travis Kelsey and Tyree Hill
Speaker 1: would touch the ball four times in a game that
Speaker 1: went to overtime that the Chief scored thirty one point in,
Speaker 1: you would say, oh, they were keying in on that.
Speaker 1: Clearly that was part of the game plan. Where was
Speaker 1: Andy Reid to adjust? Where's the end around to Tyreek Hill?
Speaker 1: Where's the quick screen to Tyree Hill? I've seen them?
Speaker 1: Do you know, um shovel passes to Travis Kelsey for
Speaker 1: damn sake, for god damn six, Where was any of that? Okay?
Speaker 1: So for me, this is like, now, Andy read something
Speaker 1: like two and seven in this round of the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Beyond that sort of thing against the Belichick or are
Speaker 1: the elite coaches. That's part of it. Okay, that's part
Speaker 1: of this narrative and it needs to be. Okay, Patty
Speaker 1: Mahomes is gonna win the m v P in my opinion. Uh,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs will be around for a while in my opinion,
Speaker 1: but that has to be part of this narrative. Romo, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, Tony Romo delivered a phenomenal performance in
Speaker 1: my opinion, predicting what would happen, taking you into the
Speaker 1: inside of the quarterback. And one of the things he
Speaker 1: said of why Brady is so good is because he
Speaker 1: was an offensive coordinator on the field. He knows how
Speaker 1: to check in, check out of place, was always getting
Speaker 1: into the right play. The defense was not adjusting back
Speaker 1: to that. In time, Patty Mahomes, we'll be able to
Speaker 1: do it. In time, Deshaun Watson, some of these other
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks will be able to do it. Andrew Luck
Speaker 1: already is in the a f C. And in time,
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots will in fact meet the end
Speaker 1: of their run. But no, no, do not need changes
Speaker 1: to overtime. We need a team to step up and
Speaker 1: play defense. That's what we actually need, all right. The
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs had multiple opportunities they did not get
Speaker 1: it done. So for the ninth time in Tom Brady's career.
Speaker 1: While as a Jets fan, I have to go, damnit,
Speaker 1: damn it, damn it. I also have to tip my
Speaker 1: cap and congratulate New England Patriots for making it Super
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty three. All right, now I'm done with that, right,
Speaker 1: We're done with that. Okay, Hey, big shout out thanks
Speaker 1: to uh, thanks to Jerrt right there in the chat room. Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: that's what's up. That's what's up. Dilly dilly out there
Speaker 1: to everybody. Whatever making you happy? What up? What up
Speaker 1: to you as well? All right? So um, big shout
Speaker 1: out to everybody that's sticking with me right here after
Speaker 1: as we as we go along in the football season
Speaker 1: when it comes to the NFC game. Now, listen, everybody
Speaker 1: knows what we're gonna talk about. Yes, that was an
Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous call. That was past interference. If you don't
Speaker 1: want to call past interference, fine, that was hell and
Speaker 1: to healment contact that was unnecessary roughness fifteen yards there too.
Speaker 1: But here's the most important part. And by now we've
Speaker 1: talked this, I'm sure at nauseam wherever you get your
Speaker 1: sports from you know this. But if you're getting it
Speaker 1: live here on YouTube, if you're getting it as a
Speaker 1: podcast right now, if you get it on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network, I'm here to tell you that played
Speaker 1: completely changed the outcome. You know, some penalties they're like,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. That play changed the outcome of the game.
Speaker 1: That gives the Saints first than tend from like the
Speaker 1: four or the three yard line. But more importantly, the
Speaker 1: Rams only had one time out, so right there, and
Speaker 1: many of you guys know this, The key is not
Speaker 1: necessarily to score or score seven. The key is to
Speaker 1: not leave the other team with any time left on
Speaker 1: the clock. And so what the Rams would be excuse me,
Speaker 1: what the Saints would have been able to do with
Speaker 1: that penalty giving them a first end goal when the
Speaker 1: Rams only had one time out left. They would have
Speaker 1: been able to literally kneel the ball down on whatever
Speaker 1: hash mark you know, LUTs wanted it to be on. Okay,
Speaker 1: and bleed out the clock. Rams could have taken one
Speaker 1: time out, you would have had a chip shot extra
Speaker 1: point field goal attempt to win the NFC Championship. All right,
Speaker 1: So obviously that call is real. And while I say
Speaker 1: we maybe don't necessarily need changes over time, I do
Speaker 1: think we need changes here. I've been talking about this.
Speaker 1: If you're real deal fantasy freestyle stats overbeat cipher ever
Speaker 1: since you know, I don't know, back in two thousand,
Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen, since we've been doing this. Oh and
Speaker 1: by the way, uh two times two times fs w
Speaker 1: F S T a host of you know, most of
Speaker 1: the best radio show finalists. All right, So if y'll
Speaker 1: been with me for years, I appreciate that. All right, Um,
Speaker 1: But if y'all know, I've been talking about this as
Speaker 1: a platform for a while, things like they need to
Speaker 1: replace the idea of the refs and these under out
Speaker 1: of shape men running down the field trying to keep
Speaker 1: up with elad athletes running out of chain link fence
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, making judgment calls when it's twenty
Speaker 1: yards away because they can't keep up, right, what I
Speaker 1: do think they need to do, and this reinforces it
Speaker 1: for me. No, I don't want a guy centrally in
Speaker 1: New York calling down like trying to get people out
Speaker 1: of the game for concussions or college ins didn't replay
Speaker 1: or anything like that. No. I just think there needs
Speaker 1: to be more officials on the field. Okay, right now,
Speaker 1: I think there's like a six man crew. Give me
Speaker 1: another two or four people on the crew. And also,
Speaker 1: we talked about this towards the beginning of the season.
Speaker 1: You can make these refs full time employees. These guys
Speaker 1: are not full time employees. Many of them are accountants
Speaker 1: on the side. This is seasonal employment. Make them full time,
Speaker 1: make them train more, make them work with the teams
Speaker 1: at symposiums and more. Make them dive into the rule
Speaker 1: books more. Something like that. Give them more refs and
Speaker 1: give them, you know, more professionalism. To be quite honest,
Speaker 1: that's what I think needs to happen here. But besides
Speaker 1: that call, here's what's the biggest thing. And these Rams
Speaker 1: now are moving on, we need to talk about this.
Speaker 1: What's up with Todd Gurley and will it be any
Speaker 1: different two weeks from now? That is the biggest storyline
Speaker 1: going into Super Bowl fifty three, if not for like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Brady and Belichick are here again, it's
Speaker 1: the health and the status of Todd Gurley as the
Speaker 1: main running back for the Los Angeles Rams. Todd Gurley
Speaker 1: was like a number one overall fantasy pick. Todd Gurley
Speaker 1: was a stud running back. Todd Gurley is one of
Speaker 1: these running backs who is a workhorse, and now all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, in the last month or so, it
Speaker 1: seems like he is, you know, the pass catching back
Speaker 1: or the bad side, the B side of a time
Speaker 1: share to to see J Anderson of all people who
Speaker 1: look at like Mike Tolbert looking like he's got a
Speaker 1: dad bod okay. C J. Anderson sixteen carries Todd Gurley four.
Speaker 1: This is Todd Gurley who people though as an m
Speaker 1: VP candidate. Some people are gonna say, oh yes, c J.
Speaker 1: Anderson plays a different role. He's in North South Runna Bull.
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley is the MF man. Todd Gurley must be hurt.
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley must be severely compromised. He must be like
Speaker 1: se okay, And don't get me wrong, everybody at this
Speaker 1: part of the season is banged up a little bit.
Speaker 1: But he has to be out there primarily as a decoy.
Speaker 1: He ain't right, because if he was, he would be
Speaker 1: out there more. I am not buying this c J.
Speaker 1: Anderson narrative. So when we now have two weeks to discuss,
Speaker 1: the number one thing we are going to be talking
Speaker 1: about is Todd Gurley. I think he's hurt. I don't
Speaker 1: think this is the emergence of c J. Anderson. I
Speaker 1: think he's hurt. I think two weeks is gonna make
Speaker 1: a big difference and that should impact people and things
Speaker 1: like DFS line of predictions for the game and such.
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about that a little bit more. We
Speaker 1: are often running on the new date and time for
Speaker 1: the fantasy freestyle with the spitt and statistician, stable genius
Speaker 1: and vocal minority. Come on back on the other side
Speaker 1: of the break, I'll tell you some things to look
Speaker 1: for this week when there's no football from the NFL

Speaker 1: Welcome back. It's a fantasy freestyle right here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You have to spit in statistician
Speaker 1: holding it down New Day, New Time, Mondays six to
Speaker 1: seven o'clock here, I'll be coming to you live on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy YouTube channel. We'll be live on a Fantasy
Speaker 1: sports radio network. Well maybe not live per se, but
Speaker 1: it'll get down for show. You can always follow me
Speaker 1: at spitting speeds. Also want to give a big shout out.
Speaker 1: You're right, Jartty. I want to give a big shout
Speaker 1: out to you for sticking in there in the chat room.
Speaker 1: The nets do be balling right now. You're absolutely right.
Speaker 1: I also want to say, though, Jerrt, no, I don't
Speaker 1: think this girly thing we were talking about. I don't
Speaker 1: think discipline has anything to do with it. You're right,
Speaker 1: McVeigh maybe want to be keep a tight ship, but
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with that. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: I think he's just straight up banged up until they
Speaker 1: got a rational amount, and they now also know that
Speaker 1: he has two more weeks to get healthy for the
Speaker 1: big game up there in at Landa. But thanks for
Speaker 1: sticking with me, Jerrt, and everybody out there on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio network here on a Martin Luther King
Speaker 1: Day holiday. As I said, don't just treat it as
Speaker 1: a day off to go run some random errands, take
Speaker 1: some time to think and reflect about what this day
Speaker 1: is about, what that man was about, and what that
Speaker 1: means now in our day and time. But I'll I'll
Speaker 1: keep my vocal minority to that now, um as we
Speaker 1: keep it moving. Their NFC Championship game. I told you
Speaker 1: about this. C J. Anderson Todd Gurley is gonna be
Speaker 1: a storyline we need to follow and talk about. Okay,
Speaker 1: look at this, I told you c J. Anderson with
Speaker 1: sixteen carries, Todd Gurley with four. Yes, Girley got the touchdown,
Speaker 1: saving maybe people's fantasy day if you HadAM um and
Speaker 1: different you know looks or tournaments or pools that you
Speaker 1: may or may not be in. But then also C J.
Speaker 1: Anderson one catch, right, Todd Gurley one catch? So seventeen
Speaker 1: to five is the touches. That's crazy, And I don't
Speaker 1: I think this is mostly because of injury, not because
Speaker 1: of discipline or anything like that. He's just banged up.
Speaker 1: And then they think he's only got so many bullets
Speaker 1: left in the chamber and they're gonna fire as many
Speaker 1: as they can without losing him. But now there's nothing
Speaker 1: to save him for for super Bowl fifty three, so
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get a lot more burn uh
Speaker 1: come to Super Bowl. So something to keep an eye on.
Speaker 1: The Other thing for me in this game is, listen,
Speaker 1: there was a big time difference because of one man
Speaker 1: that was there that was not there when this team played.
Speaker 1: These teams played the first time, and that is uh
Speaker 1: Rams cornerback. A key to leap, Alright, I keep to
Speaker 1: leap was incredible in my opinion. And also all you
Speaker 1: have to do is look at Michael Thomas. Michael Thomas.
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas was the league leader in receptions in this
Speaker 1: year and he's in the NFL. He called I think
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty five balls. Drew Brees had a
Speaker 1: literally going into like at least the last month of
Speaker 1: the season eight completion percentage when targeting Michael Thomas. Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas without keeps leave there in that game I think
Speaker 1: went something like twelve for two eleven in that first
Speaker 1: game at a big time game. Right yesterday, Michael Thomas
Speaker 1: goes four for thirty six on seven targets. Okay, um,
Speaker 1: that's partially a keep to leap. Marcus Peters, who's all
Speaker 1: jacked up and stuff. Check out the other wide receiver,
Speaker 1: Ted Ginn Jr. Who, by the way, I hit on
Speaker 1: my over prop for ted Kin Jr. For those who
Speaker 1: were wondering, Okay, the prop that was like fifty two
Speaker 1: and low fifties. He went three for fifty eight. So
Speaker 1: I got over fifty five, which is the highest that
Speaker 1: would have been, but only on three of six targets. Right.
Speaker 1: So Drew Brees, who has like setting completion percentage records
Speaker 1: and stuff, He's going to combined seven out of thirteen
Speaker 1: to his two wide receivers. It's two top wide receivers, right,
Speaker 1: Raig Kwon Smith one of two you know as well.
Speaker 1: So that was a big difference, and I think a
Speaker 1: keep to leap is a big credit for that. All Right,
Speaker 1: And the other thing I'll say is what now for
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. Right, it's forty years old. He had a
Speaker 1: sixty point one QBR in this game. Right, People were
Speaker 1: talking about if the Saints kept that magical run going
Speaker 1: and the Saints won Super Bowl, that it would have
Speaker 1: been perfect for him to walk away into the into
Speaker 1: the you know, into the shadows as a champion. Now,
Speaker 1: what what does that mean? What does that mean even
Speaker 1: for a guy like Teddy Bridgewater, who maybe knew wink
Speaker 1: wink not not that he was gonna be the air parent.
Speaker 1: What does that mean for mark Ingram, Who's gonna be
Speaker 1: a free agent this year, right, who thought maybe he
Speaker 1: would have had his last best chance? Now maybe does
Speaker 1: he want to stick on board? Do these guys want
Speaker 1: to give it one more try? Because they literally they
Speaker 1: got everything they needed. After last year you might have said,
Speaker 1: oh they had that miracle happened against them. What they
Speaker 1: really needed was home field advantage. They were the one
Speaker 1: seed this year. They beat Philly at home in as
Speaker 1: close game. They have this game in their house. That
Speaker 1: fan is stand that dome was standing up getting crunk,
Speaker 1: chatting who that nation? Right? Aeric Goff could not hear
Speaker 1: in his ears, He could not hear the plays. They
Speaker 1: had everything they needed. They were on the precipice and
Speaker 1: what many people are considering the worst blown call in
Speaker 1: NFL history is what got him. If I were them,
Speaker 1: I'd take one more shot. I take one more shot
Speaker 1: with this crew. I try and keep this crew together
Speaker 1: as much as possible. I know mark Ingram is gonna
Speaker 1: be hard, but the rest of them, I would try
Speaker 1: and keep them all together. And for me, that means
Speaker 1: Drew Brees does in fact come back. That means Teddy
Speaker 1: Bridge wouda may have to think about going somewhere else,
Speaker 1: you know. Big shout out by my man Jeremy McMahon,
Speaker 1: who's back out there? Yo. Um, Absolutely it was pass interference. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you got me on my Ted Finn Junior and my
Speaker 1: tedgin Junior prop though, baby, I had a lot of props.
Speaker 1: And by the way, you may have caught me on
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, right, you may have caught me on Sunday
Speaker 1: morning on Lineup Block Live. We were giving out props
Speaker 1: that hit left and right. No, I did not hit
Speaker 1: my James Devlin two touchdown props, all right, it was
Speaker 1: plus ten thousand. And by the way, maybe I just
Speaker 1: got the wrong Caucasian Patriots running back because rec burke
Speaker 1: Head hit And if you heard us, we were saying
Speaker 1: all rex Burkehead complicates that. Rex Burkhead complicates that. If
Speaker 1: y'all got down to rex Burkhead at plus twenty seven hundred,
Speaker 1: you gaged your dead cash. You got that Venmo, right,
Speaker 1: But we were giving out other prop bets on Sunday
Speaker 1: morning that we're hitting. Okay. I gave out there will
Speaker 1: be a fake punt in that NFC game. I gave
Speaker 1: that out. I believe it was plus four fifty and
Speaker 1: I banged it home. Why we Sean Payton, they do
Speaker 1: it all the time, Sean McVeigh, they do it all
Speaker 1: the time. The NFC Championship game. You gotta break out
Speaker 1: all the stops, right. I was like, oh, yeah, let's
Speaker 1: take this at plus four fifty. I'll take it. We'll
Speaker 1: take that all right. I gave out in the in
Speaker 1: the a f C game, I gave out. I was saying,
Speaker 1: like I leaned under, but I was like, I'm never
Speaker 1: giving out another under in the NFL again. So here's
Speaker 1: what you do. I think they feel each other out
Speaker 1: in the first half and then start to explode in
Speaker 1: the second. I said, I like the first half under
Speaker 1: in the a f C Championship game. That total was
Speaker 1: twenty eight and a half and I believe the halftime
Speaker 1: score was fourteen. Nothing new England, we hit that one
Speaker 1: as well. Okay, But I gotta give you I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you something, And this is why you need to
Speaker 1: tune in starting you know, started today six to nine.
Speaker 1: A m will be the main place you're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to see speeds. The spitting statistician with my man
Speaker 1: Joe Rniery, we're gonna make it rain on them, okay,
Speaker 1: and he was already doing that. He gave out yesterday
Speaker 1: morning a money line parlay. He was like, the way
Speaker 1: to do it. And this guy is smart action. He
Speaker 1: is sharp as like bows that you'd be throwing. Okay.
Speaker 1: He was saying that with those lines where you know
Speaker 1: they were pretty much pick them games without the home
Speaker 1: field advantage. What you do in this spot is you
Speaker 1: take the plus money lines. He parlayed them both. He
Speaker 1: gave it out yesterday morning. You par lay the Rams
Speaker 1: Pats money line, Rams Pats money line. Something that by
Speaker 1: the way, when I was doing the show last week
Speaker 1: and our poll question was what will be the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl matchup? Rams Patriots was the last choice. Rams Patriots
Speaker 1: got ten percent of the vote. Saints Chiefs got of
Speaker 1: the vote, Rams Chiefs twenty three, Saints Pat's twenty two,
Speaker 1: Rams Pats ten percent of the vote. That's why we
Speaker 1: fade the public sometimes people. Only ten percent of you
Speaker 1: who voted in that poll thought we would be staring
Speaker 1: here today looking at Rams Patriots. That is why I
Speaker 1: say a lot we fade the public. This morning, we
Speaker 1: put up another poll and fifty of you voted that
Speaker 1: the NFL officiating was the biggest storyline of Championship Sunday,
Speaker 1: over the Rams win, over Belichick and Brady, and over
Speaker 1: the fact that both games went to overtime, which is
Speaker 1: something that has never happened. Then remember, I have a
Speaker 1: poll question up right now, thanks to everybody that is voting.
Speaker 1: Which was more painful for Saints fans? Was it last
Speaker 1: year when Stefan can you digs it had that crazy
Speaker 1: catch on fourth down and got it done? Or was
Speaker 1: it yesterday with that no call? All right? Um that
Speaker 1: that's what I want to know. Did you see how
Speaker 1: the CBS executives wanted a Rams pat Super Bowl since
Speaker 1: week seventeen? That says big j out there. And here's
Speaker 1: the thing, um yo, deep deep East Texas Outfitters, LLC.
Speaker 1: That says, loved me some Dane. That's what's up. I
Speaker 1: love y'all too. And if you got if you go
Speaker 1: at East Texas Outfitters, by the way, if y'all got
Speaker 1: some gear, if y'all want to bless the spitting statistician
Speaker 1: I'll wrap y'all on fantasy freestyle, alright, so hit me
Speaker 1: up at spin and speeds let me know. But in
Speaker 1: any event, big j here's the thing. I don't know
Speaker 1: that I agree with that, because honestly, whatever this matchup was,
Speaker 1: it would have been good for TV. You're telling me.
Speaker 1: If it was Rams Chiefs and a replay of that game,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been good. You're telling me. If it
Speaker 1: was Pat's Saints, it wouldn't have been great. The idea
Speaker 1: of breezing Brady. Both these veterans with these high flying
Speaker 1: offenses that have never really faced each other going after
Speaker 1: it for a Super Bowl, they would have eaten that
Speaker 1: story up alive. Okay. And if it was what Saints
Speaker 1: Chiefs you're telling me, that wouldn't have been the same
Speaker 1: kind of high flying offenses, the same kind of you know,
Speaker 1: old guard, new guard kind of thing, I think. And
Speaker 1: the NFL came up seven no matter what they did,
Speaker 1: you know. And and by by that I mean seven
Speaker 1: on the first role, not seven after that, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Um So, so that's what I would say. Yes,
Speaker 1: the refs were in fact an issue that was obvious
Speaker 1: past interference, but I don't know if. And by the way, yes,
Speaker 1: that was not you know past uh roughing the pass
Speaker 1: from Brady, that was not, in my opinion, uh catched
Speaker 1: by Hogan that in my opinion, that ball may have
Speaker 1: grazed Edelman, but regardless of you agree with me or not,
Speaker 1: it was not indisputable to overturn it in my opinion.
Speaker 1: So that's a call stands for me. But I digress,
Speaker 1: all right. So I'm getting hot and bothered, getting hot
Speaker 1: and bothered. And right now, in that whole question that
Speaker 1: we got sevent of, you say that what we saw
Speaker 1: yesterday was more excruciating for Saints fans than what we
Speaker 1: saw just a year ago. In this time of saying
Speaker 1: that digs catch and the t du strong style, big
Speaker 1: shout out of my strong style status beat Cipher for sure,
Speaker 1: he says, the no flag called yesterday absolutely was what
Speaker 1: was worse. Big shout out to everybody watching now hitting
Speaker 1: that like button stuff like that, JERRT, Michael Perez and
Speaker 1: the crew out there. All right, So here's what I
Speaker 1: want to do, all right, because this rams uh Patriots.
Speaker 1: It also has impacted speeds versus the kids. Uh, Danny,
Speaker 1: do I have you my friend, I'm always here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk a little speeds versus the kids. Here's
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We're gonna finish out this segment.
Speaker 1: But what I also want to let people know is
Speaker 1: that the number to call if you want to join
Speaker 1: in the show is three four seven seven six seven
Speaker 1: six six one four. Again, the number to call this
Speaker 1: three four seven seven six seven six six one four.
Speaker 1: If you want to call the show, you can get
Speaker 1: down and talk to the spitting statistician um. You know,
Speaker 1: if you've got something to say about the NFC or
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship games. But in any event, Danny,
Speaker 1: we gotta update, we gotta update the stats, bro Um.
Speaker 1: So you like most people, you know, And in the
Speaker 1: poll question, I thought it was interesting, Danny, only ten
Speaker 1: percent of the people in the poll said Rams Patsy said,
Speaker 1: chief Saints. You and me and MICHAELA and Declan Allen,
Speaker 1: William Davis, we're all part of that. For we all
Speaker 1: went chief Saints. We all went oh and two yesterday. Danny, Yeah,
Speaker 1: yesterday was rough. Yesterday was rough. And so unfortunately Danny,
Speaker 1: with that um owen two yesterday you go to five
Speaker 1: and five in the playoffs. You're just breaking five hundred
Speaker 1: so far this playoffs, you're just that five hundred. Men. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean so here's the thing for me, And obviously
Speaker 1: we'll talk about this more next week when we picked
Speaker 1: the game and do all that stuff as well. Um,
Speaker 1: do you feel like you to go over five hundred?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna pick with your head? Are you gonna
Speaker 1: pick with your heart? Because I think they're going to
Speaker 1: tell you two different things. I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cross that bridge when when we get to it,
Speaker 1: we get to it next week. Am I correct though?
Speaker 1: That Your heart says anybody but the m F Patriots,
Speaker 1: But your head says, dad, damn it, damn it, damn it,
Speaker 1: damn it. The Patriots are gonna get this done. That's
Speaker 1: what your heart says, right, the head says, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Unfortunately I agree with you. So here's the thing, Danny,
Speaker 1: you're now five and five, right at five hundred. What
Speaker 1: if I told you that, MICHAELA. Unfortunately at oh and two,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, m Dot, you're under five hundred, no chance
Speaker 1: of beating speeds? What if I tell you that, Audrey Goose,
Speaker 1: my homegirl, my god daughter, I love your home girl.
Speaker 1: But she's three and three. She's at five hundred, no
Speaker 1: chance of beating speeds? What if I tell you that?
Speaker 1: Declin Allian William Davis Derrick Daviss three year old son.
Speaker 1: He went Chiefs and Saints with Patty Mahomes, he said,
Speaker 1: day he goes and speeds. Well, I'm sorry, Declan, you
Speaker 1: went owen to there you go, dec Lan, So you're
Speaker 1: a two and four. No chance of getting to five
Speaker 1: hundred or beating spitting speeds. Zoey we all know as
Speaker 1: mired in controversy, right, Danny, Zoe went Pats and Saints,
Speaker 1: so she went one and one games. That gains a
Speaker 1: game on most of the field. She is now five
Speaker 1: and four, slightly above five hundred, big game behind, still speeds. Right.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though, Bro Dylan a k a. Tito,
Speaker 1: He picked the Rams. He has the only person in
Speaker 1: Speeds versus the kids to pick the rams at all,
Speaker 1: so he gains a game on everybody. He also, though,
Speaker 1: had the Chiefs, so he lost that one because if
Speaker 1: he went Pats Rams, he would have been running away
Speaker 1: with this right now. He is four and two. Danny
Speaker 1: with me, he is four and two. I picked the
Speaker 1: Chiefs in the Saints. Even with that two losses, I
Speaker 1: am six and four. So what we got here is
Speaker 1: now Speeds at six and four and Dylan at four
Speaker 1: and two. What do you think about this, Danny? What
Speaker 1: am I in trouble here? Yeah? Oh yeah, I am?
Speaker 1: Tell me why? Well? I mean because if if we
Speaker 1: picked the same thing. Let's say we both pick the
Speaker 1: ram Uh. Let's say, man, that's the thing though, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be He's gonna he picked the Rams. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: He picked the Rams to win, and that was his
Speaker 1: one and he picked the chief so he lost. We
Speaker 1: ain't picking the Patriots. Let's say he picks the Rams
Speaker 1: and I also picked the Rams, and they win. He
Speaker 1: goes to five and two. I go to seven and four.
Speaker 1: I can make the case I'm better. Okay, seven wins.
Speaker 1: No one came close, right, we both lose. In that scenario.
Speaker 1: He goes to four and three. I go to six
Speaker 1: and five. We're both just one game over. I'm at
Speaker 1: six wins. No one can sniff me. I win, right,
Speaker 1: But if he goes one way and I go the
Speaker 1: other way, and he wins and I lose it and
Speaker 1: I lose and he goes to five and two and
Speaker 1: I go to six and five. I don't think I
Speaker 1: can make a claim that I beat Dylan and Speeds
Speaker 1: versu the Kids this year. Danny, what do you think? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you have something, So you think I pretty
Speaker 1: much have to whatever Dylan does. I have to do.
Speaker 1: I have to basically make my official pick to protect
Speaker 1: my prospect, my winning streak for Speeds versus the kids.
Speaker 1: You're thinking, you're telling me I have to basically just
Speaker 1: follow whatever Dylan a k a. Tito says for the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I think it depends on how dangerous that
Speaker 1: you'd like to see. So if I feel strongly, But
Speaker 1: that's the thing, no one's gonna feel strongly about this game.
Speaker 1: This game is not gonna have a spread over three.
Speaker 1: This game started with the Rams minus one last night.
Speaker 1: By the time we woke up this morning, it was
Speaker 1: Pat's minus one and a half. That means a lot
Speaker 1: of money came in on New England overnight. Okay, and
Speaker 1: that's the early line. I think it's gonna be one
Speaker 1: and a half too. It might get to two and
Speaker 1: a half. This game is gonna sit In my opinion,
Speaker 1: this game is gonna sit between one and a half
Speaker 1: and two and a half for the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna get to three. If it
Speaker 1: were to ever get to three, I think there's gonna
Speaker 1: be a ton of money that just comes in on
Speaker 1: the Rams that they can get a full field goal, right,
Speaker 1: because the field goes just too much in these nip
Speaker 1: and tuck kind of games. I mean, both of these
Speaker 1: games went overtime. Both of these games. You know, um
Speaker 1: could be either way. If it gets the three, I
Speaker 1: think there'll be a ton of money on on either underdog,
Speaker 1: any team that would become an underdog. But I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be between one and a half and two
Speaker 1: and a half and New England will be the favorite.
Speaker 1: Next week. I gotta find out what Tito thinks early, right.
Speaker 1: I gotta get with Tito thinks early on, and then
Speaker 1: I gotta just see if I want to stick with
Speaker 1: him or not. When we come back the Danny on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle, here's what we're gonna do. We are
Speaker 1: going to look at the Major League Baseball Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame Award that is coming out tomorrow. The announcement will
Speaker 1: be May who enters Cooper's down in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 1: all right. And we'll also talk with Danny about Fight Night.

Speaker 1: got a couple of more regulars that have joined me
Speaker 1: in the last few minutes. So I want to say
Speaker 1: once again to everybody I know, new date, end time
Speaker 1: for the freestyle. I mentioned it towards the end last week.
Speaker 1: New home for Freestyle Mondays six to seven p m.
Speaker 1: I right, We're doing it weekly now now the football
Speaker 1: season is coming to a close. And also, if you
Speaker 1: haven't heard yet, I am the co host of the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio networks new Big Bad morning show with
Speaker 1: my new co host, Joe Ranieri. It's called Make It
Speaker 1: Rain and it's on three hours every morning from six
Speaker 1: to nine am. So I gotta you know, I gotta
Speaker 1: cut back on freestyle a little bit. Guys can't be
Speaker 1: burning the candle at both ends, so I could bring
Speaker 1: that heat to help you win your league and win
Speaker 1: that cash. I gotta tell you, hey, Perry Ingo, thanks
Speaker 1: for joining us. Dilly dilly out there, Perry. I told
Speaker 1: you we got some regulars back into place. Sad J.
Speaker 1: Cutler included, I gotta tell you, um, you're talking about
Speaker 1: Rex Burkhead and vulturing those touchdowns. Listen, Nobody Sad J.
Speaker 1: Cutler felt batter about that than me. You know, I
Speaker 1: wanted James Devlon in there if you were listening to
Speaker 1: shows last week, right, But I do think the chat
Speaker 1: is right, and they did talk about it on the
Speaker 1: morning show, Sony Michelle. They know it's a running play,
Speaker 1: James White. You know it's a passing play. It's quite
Speaker 1: like a few years ago when the Jets had like
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory and Ladanian Tomlinson. When Ivory was in, you
Speaker 1: know it was a run play. When lt was in,
Speaker 1: you knew what was passing. That's the same kind of
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle, James White thing. Rex Burkhead is sort of
Speaker 1: in the middle, so they are a little bit more
Speaker 1: multiple that way. That's why Burkehead was in. There's also
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football girl advice in that chat room asking me
Speaker 1: about Teddy Bridge woda. And here's what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: think Teddy, what what happens with him? Now? It's all
Speaker 1: because it's all comes down to the market. He's gonna
Speaker 1: have a choice, does he wanta does a team pony
Speaker 1: up and offer him starter money this offseason? If he does,
Speaker 1: he might be gone. If not. Honestly, Fantasy Football girl advice,
Speaker 1: I actually think, you know, I actually think it's not
Speaker 1: the worst move in the world to wait like maybe
Speaker 1: one more year and be the air apparent for Drew
Speaker 1: Brees in that offense. Learned with Shad and Peyton for
Speaker 1: another year, right and Drew Brees and then slide in
Speaker 1: as the air apparent. That's not a horrible situation. And
Speaker 1: to be quite honestly, maybe the situation I would want
Speaker 1: a big J out there says I want three leagues
Speaker 1: because of you? A big J. Is you me Speeds
Speaker 1: or is it like the whole status over beat cipher?
Speaker 1: Are you talking to somebody else? But if you won
Speaker 1: three leagues, brother because of me, then congratulations, big J.
Speaker 1: You know what we do, help you win your leagues
Speaker 1: and win that cash, all right? But I do think
Speaker 1: the question of Teddy Bridgewater is very interesting Not only
Speaker 1: do I win my leagues and win that cash, I
Speaker 1: help y'all do the same. We put the fun and
Speaker 1: functional sports content. That's why Speeds is a two time
Speaker 1: host two times two time am I like book or
Speaker 1: t yet strong style with five times, but two time
Speaker 1: host of the best Radio Show finalists. That's how we
Speaker 1: do it. All right, here's what I want to tell you.
Speaker 1: Though this week you might be like, oh man, there's
Speaker 1: no football on Sunday. What do I do? What do
Speaker 1: I do? Thank you, Big Jay? It was for me.
Speaker 1: I that's what's up, Big Jay. Thank you. I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Dilly dilly. I'm happy to help man. I'm happy to help,
Speaker 1: and you win those three leagues. Help you, you know,
Speaker 1: I help you spend some of that case. I hope
Speaker 1: you have some fun with that, brother man. All right. Um,
Speaker 1: In any event, um, something's happening tomorrow, and that's that
Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball is announcing their Hall of Fame class.
Speaker 1: All right, I just want to tell you a couple
Speaker 1: of things real quick about that Hall of Fame class
Speaker 1: that is going to be announced tomorrow. It's profiling that
Speaker 1: like four people are gonna make it. Uh. Edgar Martinez
Speaker 1: is looking good. You need seventy of the votes to
Speaker 1: make it Edgar Martinez, and they kind of track these.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who release their ballot. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's about fifty five or six of the ballots that
Speaker 1: are known right now, like two hundred plus of the
Speaker 1: ballots are known, and people like track and keep keep
Speaker 1: counting those. Roy Halliday's trending like he's gonna get in
Speaker 1: Edgar Martinez, which I agree with. I like Edgar Martinez.
Speaker 1: Some people talk about like the d H should not
Speaker 1: be able to be in hogwash. To me, I say, wrong, terrible.
Speaker 1: You know, I think Edgar Martinez, if you played against
Speaker 1: the Mariners and you faced him like a Yankees fan
Speaker 1: like me, he was the guy in that lineup that
Speaker 1: I feared the most. I feared Edgar Martinez. Literally, I
Speaker 1: feared him more than Ken Griffey Jr. I feared him
Speaker 1: more than Tino, I feared him more than each Eero.
Speaker 1: I feared him more than Buner. It was Edgar Martinez.
Speaker 1: He would yo and dude was a beast. He deserves
Speaker 1: to be in the Hall of Fame. Mussina is tracking
Speaker 1: like he might be right on that Cusp. He was
Speaker 1: never like the most dominant picture in the in the majors,
Speaker 1: but he longevity, has the winds, has something like ten
Speaker 1: gold gloves too. I think he ultimately should get in,
Speaker 1: So we'll give it to him and my guy, Mariano Rivera.
Speaker 1: As you know, I am a Yankees fan. Mariano Rivera
Speaker 1: is my favorite Yankee of all time because when he's
Speaker 1: on the field, that means we win. Fun Yankees win,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So Mariano Rivera is actually
Speaker 1: my favorite Yankee of all time. Mariano river Mariano Rivera
Speaker 1: personifies class and grace. There's a reason why Mariano Rivera
Speaker 1: was the last person major League Baseball history allowed to
Speaker 1: wear the number forty two. For Jackie Robinson and I
Speaker 1: bring up that point intentionally on Martin Luther King Day
Speaker 1: where Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, right, but Mariano
Speaker 1: Rivera was honored and attributed and beat was honored and
Speaker 1: able to be the last person to wear number forty two.
Speaker 1: That's for a reason as well, because who that man is,
Speaker 1: Mariano Rivera. He right now has a hundred percent of
Speaker 1: the ballots. Will you get a hundred percent. No one
Speaker 1: ever has done that. I think it's silly. I think
Speaker 1: the one guy there's gonna be someone who votes no.
Speaker 1: Even some Red Sox beat writer for years decided that
Speaker 1: he doesn't think so, but he doesn't want to be
Speaker 1: that guy, so he is abstaining. I want to meet
Speaker 1: the person who votes no on Mariano Rivera, and I
Speaker 1: want to hear their case. But I digress. The real
Speaker 1: thing is gonna be right after this. This cut line
Speaker 1: right now is clementson bonds. You need seventy to get in.
Speaker 1: They say, what I'm seeing Clemson his track and at
Speaker 1: sevent bonds at seventy or seventy percent as well, seventy
Speaker 1: point five, these guys are gonna get in. These guys
Speaker 1: are hopping every year, and with the influx of you know,
Speaker 1: young talent into the Writer's Association. What's happening is the
Speaker 1: older people who have more staunch beliefs on the PEG
Speaker 1: and the steroid era, these guys are pretty much aging out,
Speaker 1: losing their credentials to be Hall of Fame voters because
Speaker 1: they're not active anymore. The new people, the young people
Speaker 1: that are coming into millennials who are now part of
Speaker 1: the Writers association that elect these people for the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame. They don't see steroids as much anymore. They
Speaker 1: don't see it as big anymore. They take the other
Speaker 1: more statistical driven things, the fact that maybe Bonds and
Speaker 1: Clemons before even started, would have already been Hall of Famers.
Speaker 1: Barry Bonds, I think already was a three time m
Speaker 1: v P. Roger Clemens was already you know, a strikeout leader,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, a three time cy Young
Speaker 1: Award winner. Right, So they are going to get in,
Speaker 1: and that's something that I think is very interesting to
Speaker 1: note that their climb continues. The announcement will be made official.
Speaker 1: I think tomorrow evening. Keep it locked would be a
Speaker 1: big surprise if Clements or Bonds gets in this year.
Speaker 1: But we're staring at Mariano Rivera, Roy Holiday. Roy Halliday,
Speaker 1: who by the way, was filthy, disgusting pitch of no
Speaker 1: hit or a perfect game, is first ever playoff outing.
Speaker 1: I saw him a lot as a Yankee fan against
Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jays. That dude was filthy. He was
Speaker 1: the best pitcher in the game for a period of time.
Speaker 1: And that's what I think it's about. I'm more, I'm
Speaker 1: less about the compilers and more about is there a
Speaker 1: three a five year stretch when people would have said
Speaker 1: you were the best ever, or you were the best
Speaker 1: out there? You're the best on the planet. You know.
Speaker 1: That's why people like me. For for example, you know
Speaker 1: Eli Manning, is he a Hall of Famer and he's
Speaker 1: more of a compiler? Was he ever the best? You know?
Speaker 1: Whereas someone like Don Mattingly, however, and I know him
Speaker 1: being very New York centric right now. Whereas Don Mattingly
Speaker 1: was uh in many people's estimation, the best player in baseball,
Speaker 1: or at least one of the top three players in
Speaker 1: baseball from something like eight five to eighty nine. And
Speaker 1: while I believe in acknowledge that his career falls short
Speaker 1: of the Hall of Fame threshold, I think he has
Speaker 1: a better case than some of the compilers out there.
Speaker 1: For example, you know a Fred McGriff that might be
Speaker 1: out there, Scott Rowland. These are guys that are tracking
Speaker 1: right now with thirty eight percent of the vote, all right.
Speaker 1: And what I also always think is is funny that
Speaker 1: some of these guys that get on the ballot because
Speaker 1: their first time, you also need to I think, like
Speaker 1: maintain one percent or some threshold or else they just
Speaker 1: put you off the ballot. I think it's a sterile
Speaker 1: where they go with. Some of these names are actually
Speaker 1: on the ballot for Hall of Fame, Like all right,
Speaker 1: these guys were veterans, but they were never a Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame caliber. They were never going to get into
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. And and you know it says
Speaker 1: that they get like one percent or point nine percent
Speaker 1: or zero percent. I'm talking about guys like Travis Hafner,
Speaker 1: Ted Lily, Darren Oliver. I was late in his career.
Speaker 1: I was happy when teams are bringing Darren Oliver to
Speaker 1: face me or face my team. He's a on the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame ballot. Come on, mcguelta hota, Maguelta hot
Speaker 1: I gets one percent of the vote. He was like
Speaker 1: an m v P kind of guy for a little
Speaker 1: while out there, and he's not getting I'm talking Roy Oldswalt,
Speaker 1: Lance Berkman only getting one percent. And yet plus E
Speaker 1: dol Polanco is on the ballot. Kevin Nukolas is on
Speaker 1: the ballot, the Greek god of walks, as he is
Speaker 1: referred to in moneyball. So that's you know, keep an
Speaker 1: eye out on that. And another thing I think is interesting.
Speaker 1: I talked about it all the time. If you real
Speaker 1: deal status over beat Cipher and I know some of
Speaker 1: you are. Thanks to everybody that's out there, Jay, sad J. Cutler,
Speaker 1: any game changes coming out this year. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the draft, you know, Sad J. Cutler and others.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the draft. Give me after football.
Speaker 1: Let's get once we get through that early February. All right,
Speaker 1: late February, we're gonna do free agent primer. Right, we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about all free agency hitting and said Jay,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the draft. We'll do mostly quarterbacks and
Speaker 1: the skill positions, right, things that impact fantasy. Right, Like
Speaker 1: there's something there's multiple running backs coming out of Alabama,
Speaker 1: for example, Damian Harris, Josh Jacobs. Will talk all these
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who could be translatable more to the NFL in
Speaker 1: this day and age. Right, we'll talk if there's any
Speaker 1: wide receivers that you may like. There's a kid out
Speaker 1: of Stanford that I like a lot. It's like six four.
Speaker 1: There's also some there's a by the way, there's a
Speaker 1: five ft nine white wide receiver from like a small
Speaker 1: school that is profiling jazz like a Julian Adam and
Speaker 1: jazz like a Cooper Cup that you need to keep
Speaker 1: your eye on. So yeah, we'll do some of that alright.
Speaker 1: Big shout to Jilly Dilley out there as well. Jilly
Speaker 1: Dilley knowing better than anybody that this episode three hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty one. So one of the things for someone
Speaker 1: like a Jilly Dilley for someone, you know, like a
Speaker 1: who else is in there for someone like a perrying
Speaker 1: for someone Jeremy McMahon. People who've been here with me
Speaker 1: for a long time, and I appreciate it for show.
Speaker 1: That's why we get nominated for awards people, Um you
Speaker 1: know that. I like talking also about the Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: Skills competition. I think it's hysterical, okay, And there's gonna
Speaker 1: be some new events. They got the forty yards Splash.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like a you know, kind of like
Speaker 1: a fire bucket brigade. There's gonna be this relay race,
Speaker 1: the training and they gotta fill up water because then
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some guy in a dunk tank. I
Speaker 1: think it's hysterical the stuff they do. Okay, Um, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be uh the best hands competition. I like this one.
Speaker 1: They have the wide receivers coming out, you know, and
Speaker 1: having to make catches on the sideline. One handy grabs
Speaker 1: and now one handy grabs are like oh hum in
Speaker 1: the NFL, right, And these guys are practicing and part
Speaker 1: of it is damn gloves that they're all wearing. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you that for sure. But I digress good the
Speaker 1: best hands competition. I like the position passing competition also
Speaker 1: where it's like, you know, the old QB challenge. I
Speaker 1: used to do this in my Yeah, damnit dog bang
Speaker 1: bang bang for sure, that's what I'm saying. Um, damn patriots,
Speaker 1: Damn patriots, freaking patriots all the time. Damn it. We
Speaker 1: got people over here checking out the spitting statisticians, so
Speaker 1: we're getting into So they got the petition passing competition, alright.
Speaker 1: I like that. That's like the old quarterback challenge, right.
Speaker 1: I think that's cool. But what I love the best,
Speaker 1: and you can tune in for it. I think it's
Speaker 1: happening there shown and I think on Thursday of this
Speaker 1: week on ESPN is they these guys are playing dodgeball.
Speaker 1: These guys are legitimately playing dogs ball. Okay, just like
Speaker 1: you would see in middle school. And I think it's amazing. Alright,
Speaker 1: but my question for you and guys and the stats
Speaker 1: over beat Cipher in the chat room. Here's what I
Speaker 1: want to know. Yes, Perrying, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Perrying mondays
Speaker 1: maybe alright, sorry that you're there now, they're late. Don't
Speaker 1: worry about it. New schedules because I'm doing six to
Speaker 1: nine am, five of days a week. Perry and everybody else,
Speaker 1: make it rain. Check my new show out me and
Speaker 1: Joe Ranieri. Big shout out to him, who, by the way,
Speaker 1: nailed cold five to one odd calls he gave me.
Speaker 1: Also the Calves bulls under today in the NBA. We
Speaker 1: are going to make it rain on that show six
Speaker 1: to nine am. So the spitting statisticians waking up real early.
Speaker 1: So we can't be doing multiple evenings a week, all right,
Speaker 1: at least now until we get to next football season.
Speaker 1: All right, So yes, Perry ing, But what I wanted
Speaker 1: y'all to knowe is like, what do you make if
Speaker 1: you had to make a dodgeball team of NFL players?
Speaker 1: What do you do? Do you have like the tyree Kills,
Speaker 1: the shifty guys? Do you have guys with big arms.
Speaker 1: Do you want Patty Mahomes in there and big arm dudes?
Speaker 1: Do you want you know, or do you want the
Speaker 1: tyree kill the Darren Sprowls? Do you just want straight
Speaker 1: up wide receivers to make up your team because they'll
Speaker 1: catch anything? Right? How would you compose a team for
Speaker 1: dodge ball? It's kind of Danny, if I can bring
Speaker 1: you in right now, it's kind of Danny. How like
Speaker 1: what we're talking about the animal football team, right? You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Like, how would you compose your team?
Speaker 1: Talk to me if you had to make a team
Speaker 1: of like Pro bowlers in the NFL, how would you
Speaker 1: build the dodgeball team? What kind of players? Would you want?
Speaker 1: The small, the small, shifty guys, wide receivers, big guys maybe?
Speaker 1: Do you want big guys and have like little wide
Speaker 1: receivers like hiding behind them as human shields? Would you
Speaker 1: want quarterbacks? What do you do, Danny? I definitely want
Speaker 1: a couple of quarterbacks do just for their arms? Yes,
Speaker 1: but what happens when they get drilled real quick? They're
Speaker 1: not the most elusive of the world, and sometimes they're
Speaker 1: big dudes like Cam Newton might be a little too
Speaker 1: big for this kind of competition. Big Ben is a
Speaker 1: big man. That's why you gotta pick and choose the
Speaker 1: right quarterbacks. Okay, so you want like Baker Mayfield, Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson Yea and wide receivers, for sure, I agree with that.
Speaker 1: We need we need people that can catch a fair enough,
Speaker 1: I think I would shy away from the bigger guys,
Speaker 1: like like real big like linebackers and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: because they're just targets. Okay, alright, fair enough. You know,
Speaker 1: Jilly Dilley perry ing out there, how would you compose
Speaker 1: your Pro Bowl uh dodgeball team? I'm on the Tyree Kills.
Speaker 1: The Darren Sprawls is the Tyree the Terry Cohen's uh um.
Speaker 1: You know those kinds of guys, the Austin Ekelers of
Speaker 1: the world, the Theo Riddicks, the small shifty at the
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson's, those guys, Alvin Kamaras. Because you know, he
Speaker 1: ain't got nothing to do, now, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, he ain't got nothing to do, now, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So that's the issue right there. Guys.
Speaker 1: By the way, again, the number to call if you
Speaker 1: want to get down to three four seven seven six
Speaker 1: seven six six one four Danny with a few minutes
Speaker 1: that we got. We got about what like three or
Speaker 1: four minutes left. There were some fights also this weekend,
Speaker 1: and I gotta ask you something. Greg Hardy, you know,
Speaker 1: out of the NFL because he's too violent, so women, children,
Speaker 1: anybody will be around. Apparently he was too violent for
Speaker 1: the UFC this weekend. Also, how do you get disqualified
Speaker 1: from a UFC match? I thought that was the whole point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so what is not allowed in the UFC? Because apparently
Speaker 1: Greg Hardy got disqualified for what a need? You got
Speaker 1: a knee strike? It was knee when when the fighters
Speaker 1: grounded already, so he was already on the ground, so
Speaker 1: we can't hit him with like the w W E style. Me.
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what what the where the rule
Speaker 1: is where it's black and white, but I do know,
Speaker 1: like I mean, that's what he got. D cute for
Speaker 1: a legal knee to a grounded fighter. So the fighter
Speaker 1: was already on the ground as far as the ref said.
Speaker 1: So what else could get you a disqualification in UFC?
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted because I thought I thought that
Speaker 1: was the whole point. So I gouging is not okay,
Speaker 1: Like if it happens by accident, they do it like
Speaker 1: they give they give the player, uh, I mean the
Speaker 1: fighter a minute to to kind of help themselves. But
Speaker 1: if it happens repeatedly, then you're gotta get blamed for
Speaker 1: because the repeatedly. So like I can get away with
Speaker 1: a couple, I mean it's a gray area. I think
Speaker 1: you can get away with one, but I don't think
Speaker 1: I'm coming for your right. Look, it has to look fake.
Speaker 1: But they're on the ground wrestling like you know, four
Speaker 1: and a half minutes out of the five in the round.
Speaker 1: That all the time anyway, Right, yeah, all right, So
Speaker 1: I can get in there a good a little. I
Speaker 1: is biting illegal? Yes, absolutely absolutely, I gouging biting though
Speaker 1: that's where they draw the line. Well, that's where that's
Speaker 1: where they can obviously find Fine, what about chokings. That's
Speaker 1: like submission holes that involved that, right, like the triangle
Speaker 1: or whatever. There's a lot of submissions, and that was
Speaker 1: that's the point is to get them to tap. So
Speaker 1: can I just straight choke you, like put my arm
Speaker 1: around your neck and just choke you? If you're doing
Speaker 1: or doesn't have to be like a technique. I think
Speaker 1: it has to be an actual technique. Like if I
Speaker 1: just get my man on the ground, I just started
Speaker 1: choking him like I would if I was on a
Speaker 1: hundred sixty seventh Street in the Bronx. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, why I don't win the fight? Then
Speaker 1: it has to be I have to use a a
Speaker 1: what a textbook Greco Roman hold or or a jiu
Speaker 1: jitsu hold in order to do it? Yeah? What about?
Speaker 1: What about what about if I if I if I
Speaker 1: grab my opponent by another regions, is that a d Q. Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean I can't just grab him by his hum.
Speaker 1: That's really frowned upon by the hum. I think that
Speaker 1: falls into the same category that that like eye gouging
Speaker 1: comes into it. If it is a mistake, like a
Speaker 1: like a genuine accident, you don't get d cut. But
Speaker 1: if if if you're blatantly reaching for it, and that's it.
Speaker 1: What about one of these like the fishhawk, you know,
Speaker 1: like by the side of the mouth, just spin them
Speaker 1: that way? Is that a cool? Uh? No? I don't
Speaker 1: think they're like, all right, we're gonna keep up on this.
Speaker 1: I'll at you next week about this thanks to the
Speaker 1: stats over Beach Sipher for sure. Next week we break
Speaker 1: down the Super Bowl, super Bowl prop bets, orange Gatorade,
Speaker 1: the under on the national anthem. I'll have analysis for
Speaker 1: this next week thanks to catch Me six to nine am.
Speaker 1: We make your rain every morning at spitting speed. You
Speaker 1: know what it is, damn it, damn it, damnit Patriots,
