Speaker 1: here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network episode
Speaker 1: three hundred and eighty eight. The three hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: eight convey meaning of the stats over beat Cipher. That's
Speaker 1: what we do here. We help you win your leagues
Speaker 1: and win that cash as we put the fund in
Speaker 1: functional sports content. And I gotta tell you something. I'm
Speaker 1: excited because football is like officially starting in about an hour.
Speaker 1: The two thousand and nineteen season officially kicks off with
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame game in about an hour. So
Speaker 1: I'm excited. Listen, I'm gonna tell you how to make
Speaker 1: some money tonight. Okay, I'm gonna give you some DFS
Speaker 1: leans for tonight. I am gonna give you some plays
Speaker 1: to put a little shuttles on some football action tonight
Speaker 1: so we can start winning a little bit of cash.
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna be good. We started our a
Speaker 1: f C North Division previews aviv over, you know, on Monday,
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. And so what we're gonna do
Speaker 1: is we're gonna, you know, keep that going. We will
Speaker 1: give you part two of that. I believe we talked
Speaker 1: Cleveland and I believe we talked Baltimore last time. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk Pittsburgh and want to talk Cincinnati. Make
Speaker 1: our bets, and then of course we will put the
Speaker 1: fun and functional sports content. I gotta update you guys
Speaker 1: on a couple of stories, all right, But first, let's
Speaker 1: get into the trade deadline of Major League Baseball real quick,
Speaker 1: because I want to give you my takeaways there, because then, honestly,
Speaker 1: we are all football, all the time moving forward. And
Speaker 1: part of the reason I'm comfortable moving on from baseball
Speaker 1: is because the damn Astros traded for Zach Grinky and
Speaker 1: the Yankees did squaw do and that doesn't make me,
Speaker 1: as a Yankee fan, feel too good. Okay, the big
Speaker 1: moves though, what you need to know. Yes, some relievers
Speaker 1: were moved. Yes, some bats like Nick Constano's was moved.
Speaker 1: But really the three big arms that were moved were
Speaker 1: first of all, Bauer going to the Reds right for
Speaker 1: ya c l. Puig and in a three way deal
Speaker 1: from Meo Reyes, the Indians get the power bats that
Speaker 1: they wanted. These guys combined for I think fifty home
Speaker 1: runs so far. They needed that. And then what's really
Speaker 1: interesting is tonight starting for the Indians, is um Danny
Speaker 1: Salazar back with the big club. Okay, so when you
Speaker 1: see Corey Kluber potentially coming back, it made Bauer expendable.
Speaker 1: That is a big move. A lot of people think
Speaker 1: that the Indians now have the second best, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of shot in the American League because of the pitching,
Speaker 1: that they would be able to go toe to toe
Speaker 1: with the Houston Astros. I personally disagree, but that's besides
Speaker 1: the point. The Stroman deal to the Mets is getting
Speaker 1: curiouser and curious er to me, are the Mets now
Speaker 1: really gonna try and make another little shot here and
Speaker 1: organize with the grom Stroman, Syndergard and Wheeler. Very interesting.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, let him take a shot. They
Speaker 1: got good starting pitch pitching. I don't think it's gonna work.
Speaker 1: But I don't understand why Toronto did the asking price
Speaker 1: that had gotten. You know, I've said this before. If
Speaker 1: the six and seven arms and the Mets system was
Speaker 1: good enough to get Stroman, then how the hell did
Speaker 1: the Yankees not get in there? Okay? But really the
Speaker 1: thing for me is that Zach Grinky is with the
Speaker 1: Houston Astros. Joe Roneri said it this morning. Okay. Now
Speaker 1: it's like the Astros are the damn Golden State Warriors
Speaker 1: okay of jor League Baseball. And in that scenario, Grinky
Speaker 1: is Kevin Durant the one who is making it kind
Speaker 1: of unfair. And when you juxtaposed that against the Yankees
Speaker 1: doing like I said, squaw douche um, I'm okay to
Speaker 1: move to football, all right, so we are going to
Speaker 1: be all football all the time. I did want to
Speaker 1: say the last thing though about this Yasil Pueek part
Speaker 1: of the deal. Did you see the benches clearing brawl
Speaker 1: that happened after the Reds had traded away Yasiel Puig.
Speaker 1: This means that for the first time in history, we
Speaker 1: had a major league brawl with three major league teams involved.
Speaker 1: There was Pirates and Reds, but because at the time,
Speaker 1: technically Yasiel Puige was a member of the Cleveland Indians,
Speaker 1: that means there were three teams represented in that brawl.
Speaker 1: I think it's absolutely crazy. The last thing I will say,
Speaker 1: because I was giving you fantasy baseball, remember I was
Speaker 1: talking about the innings limits of some guys, the Paddocks
Speaker 1: of the world, the the Max Freed's in Atlanta. The
Speaker 1: other thing I said was if you were an ale
Speaker 1: and only lead leagues, and you had some of these
Speaker 1: stud starting pitchers that were on the trading block, that
Speaker 1: you might have been prudent to sell for eighty cents
Speaker 1: on the dollar. I told you that, and I named
Speaker 1: some of these guys. And now look at the big
Speaker 1: names that move Bower from the L to the NL
Speaker 1: poof Gone Stroman, from the a L to the nlof
Speaker 1: gone Grinky, from the n L to the a LF gone. Okay.
Speaker 1: So that's why I try and get ahead of it. This.
Speaker 1: I try to teach you how to fish to win
Speaker 1: your leagues and win net cash. All right, we gotta
Speaker 1: pull question up and we're gonna get into it, the injuries,
Speaker 1: the holdouts. We go to to the NFL. Here. My
Speaker 1: poll question is, right now, who would you draft first
Speaker 1: in a redraft league? If it gets to you in
Speaker 1: fantasy football? Which Bengals wide receiver would you draft first?
Speaker 1: Right now? Would you draft Tyler Boyd sending potential wide
Speaker 1: receiver two? Or would you draft A J. Green taking
Speaker 1: taking the kind of risk that he's gonna miss. Oh,
Speaker 1: maybe only two or three games. I'm gonna tell you why. Um.
Speaker 1: To be honest, I might fade both of them. We're
Speaker 1: gonna do dints and gazes in the A f C. D. North.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you an update on the hold doubts.
Speaker 1: What we got more O J to discuss as well.
Speaker 1: He has thoughts on other running backs like Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: and Ezekiel Elliott. We'll see what he has to say.
Speaker 1: And I got an industry league up tomorrow that I
Speaker 1: want to talk about because I'm gonna be competing against
Speaker 1: a lot of the names you know, and I have
Speaker 1: a very interesting spot in the draft border. So I
Speaker 1: want to tell you how it plays out from that
Speaker 1: draft spot. It's gonna be a whole lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Dilly Dilly to the Stats over Beat Cipher. And by
Speaker 1: the way, Jilly, I want to know, I think this
Speaker 1: is episode three. That means that episode four twenty Jill,
Speaker 1: I think is on Thanksgiving itself. Can you check my math, Jilly,
Speaker 1: I want to find out. Let me know. On the
Speaker 1: other side of the break with the Stats over Beat Cipher,

Speaker 1: of the Fantasy Freestyle with the Stats Overbeats Cipher. We
Speaker 1: got the crew in the chatting room as usual, saying
Speaker 1: what's up to everybody. It's a great culture with the
Speaker 1: Stats Overbeat Cipher. If you're new to the show, if
Speaker 1: this is like the first football season, you're getting down
Speaker 1: with the spitting statistician. Mendo given me shade because you're thinking,
Speaker 1: I'm only a New Yorker caring about the Yankees. I
Speaker 1: was talking about all I was talking about all the moves. Bro,
Speaker 1: Come on, Mendo, I was talking about Garrett. You know,
Speaker 1: is that great key? What that does for the Astros?
Speaker 1: The Bauer move, They hope we getting into brawl. It
Speaker 1: is very interesting. Stroman deal to the Mets is also
Speaker 1: very interesting to me. Um and I got a lot
Speaker 1: of people talking about the Stats Overbeat Cipher league listen.
Speaker 1: I tried to It was hard, okay, but I had
Speaker 1: to involve my patreons that subscribe. I had to, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of whoever got to me quickest and sent me
Speaker 1: the information. And I sent out a emails to people
Speaker 1: who are on the waiting list and those who are in.
Speaker 1: If you were in, you've already signed up. The league
Speaker 1: is full. We'll go through it probably on next Monday.
Speaker 1: We'll go through it. And what I'll do is I
Speaker 1: will randomize the draft order live on air, so everybody
Speaker 1: could see it. Okay, I randomized like the schedule and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So we'll get into that. Everybody is
Speaker 1: paid up, so yes, um, everybody, Just so you guys know, um,
Speaker 1: you know, yes, the league is full. Um. If anybody
Speaker 1: does happen to drop out, we'll go to the wait
Speaker 1: list perrying. Will we stream the draft? No, we will
Speaker 1: not stream the draft. The draft is on a Sunday night, people. Ye.
Speaker 1: And that's the thing, like everybody, this is why you
Speaker 1: know we're doing what we're doing. People, Come on, come on.
Speaker 1: We can't please everybody all the time. I love you guys,
Speaker 1: but I'm just doing it. So we're gonna do it
Speaker 1: and with these settings and this is what we're doing,
Speaker 1: and it's all good. All right, let's get into during
Speaker 1: the draft. What's that? What's that? Danny will Danny will
Speaker 1: stream the draft? There you go. I don't fine, thank you,
Speaker 1: Danny Danny will stream the draft. The true m v
Speaker 1: P of the stats overbeat Cipher. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: into it. Updates since the last night time the Cipher met. Listen,
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas got paid. He got five year extension a
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. He is the highest paid wide receiver
Speaker 1: in the NFL sixty one million and guaranteed. I like,
Speaker 1: and I told you, Michael Thomas is my number three
Speaker 1: wide receiver, Okay, behind only de hop In Davante Adams.
Speaker 1: I have my head of Julio Jones, head of Odell Beckham,
Speaker 1: ahead of Juju and Antonio Brown and others. Okay. I
Speaker 1: like the offense. I like the fact that Drew Brees
Speaker 1: had something like an eighty five percent completion rate to him.
Speaker 1: This is the guy who has most catches in the
Speaker 1: first three years of his NFL career. Give me some
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas. We gotta like that. He's a first round
Speaker 1: draft pick. I believe he is Dallas. Listen with the
Speaker 1: Zeke contract, So like that one ended well, right, Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas got his money. Cool Zeke Listen. He in Mexico Ian,
Speaker 1: you know wherever it is, Cobbo or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I heard someone else would say this, like,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be really working out, do you really
Speaker 1: go Danny, Would you really go to a country where
Speaker 1: you can't drink the damn water? If you're really there
Speaker 1: to work out now, I mean, now you're there to
Speaker 1: do go to more techno festivals. Bro, but he's he's
Speaker 1: not drinking regular water, He's drinking bottled whatever whatever. Like
Speaker 1: you're not training, bro. Like It's like it's just not
Speaker 1: the case. He's out there party and he's chilling. Not
Speaker 1: what I Digress and Dallas signed Alfred Morris. Okay, that
Speaker 1: is a veteran guy for them to still be able
Speaker 1: to run in camp stuff like that. I don't. I
Speaker 1: still think I'm not dropping Ezekiel Elliott and Ranks or
Speaker 1: anything like that. But I will say if this lingers
Speaker 1: for a little while, it does bear watching Trent will
Speaker 1: you to something I keep bringing up. I think he
Speaker 1: is going to get traded. I hope the Jets trade
Speaker 1: for him. I think the Houston Texans may want to
Speaker 1: be interested in a guy like Trying Williams. Remember they've
Speaker 1: got Shawn Watson and remember his ribs no good. He's
Speaker 1: got to ride a bus sometimes. Okay, I think the
Speaker 1: Texans and the Jets could be involved for potential Trent
Speaker 1: Williams deal. Remember the Washington Football same signed tackle Donald
Speaker 1: Penn as insurance because they am sure. I don't want
Speaker 1: Eric Flowers blocking the blindside of potential rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins.
Speaker 1: And now the Melvin Gordon thing is interesting. Okay, let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. They officially kind of demanded a
Speaker 1: trade today, and this changes it slightly for me. I
Speaker 1: was kind of confident that Melvin Gordon was gonna come
Speaker 1: back and be in a Charges uniform week one. Now
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. I'm more fifty fifty on this.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a bluff by Melvin
Speaker 1: Gordon in his camp. I think it could be real.
Speaker 1: I think he could be drawn a real line in
Speaker 1: the sand and the Charges may look to trade him,
Speaker 1: and that would be really good for guys like Austin Ekeler,
Speaker 1: guys like Jackson, right, but that would be really bad
Speaker 1: for someone else in the NFL, whatever team he goes
Speaker 1: to it, it would completely change the running back room
Speaker 1: in on that team. Okay, So keep an eye out
Speaker 1: on this. And I'm here to say that if you
Speaker 1: gotta shares in dynasty of ekel or Jackson, they belong more,
Speaker 1: uh kind of more serious consideration for keepers things of
Speaker 1: that nature. I would bump up us Austin Ekeler. I
Speaker 1: would take a flyer on him as a flex play
Speaker 1: or as even potentially an RB two if this looks
Speaker 1: like Gordon will be gone all right, the injuries, obviously,
Speaker 1: the big one is a j Green. That's why the
Speaker 1: poll question is up yet surgery. And here's the thing
Speaker 1: that bothers me big time. Alright, new head coach Zach
Speaker 1: Taylor now says, here's the quote. They hope to get
Speaker 1: him back for the beginning half of the season. We
Speaker 1: are this is gonna be six to eight weeks from
Speaker 1: you know, five weeks before the season. So at first
Speaker 1: I was thinking he might miss two or three games.
Speaker 1: Now they're saying they hope they get him back in
Speaker 1: the first eight games. Yo, that is no good news.
Speaker 1: John Ross also has a hammy. It's almost like they're
Speaker 1: the giants of the of the a f C. I
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of um parallels there. I think
Speaker 1: both of those teams will pick in the top five draft.
Speaker 1: I think both of those teams just had their wide
Speaker 1: receiver room eviscerated by injury or other situation. Both of
Speaker 1: them have a truly ascending RB one in se Kwon
Speaker 1: Barkley and Joe Mixon, who, by the way, I have
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon is like running back seven or eight I
Speaker 1: think he's a first round pick, all right, especially if
Speaker 1: you're gonna drop Melvin Gordon, right. And I think, and
Speaker 1: this is kind of like the hot take. I'll get
Speaker 1: to a little bit more when we get into the
Speaker 1: a f C. North. I think both of these teams
Speaker 1: will eventually have rookies making starts at quarterback in the
Speaker 1: second half of the season. Yep, that's right, both of
Speaker 1: these teams. I think that is possible because it goes
Speaker 1: so far off the rails. In Cincinnati, Okay, Jerick McKinnon,
Speaker 1: they stretched him out a little bit more. He was
Speaker 1: supposed to come back off the publist. They're still saying
Speaker 1: he's gonna be there a couple more days. Anytime he
Speaker 1: misses is better for you know, Tevin Coleman Matt Brita
Speaker 1: to get those reps. I still ultimately think Coleman will
Speaker 1: be the lead back, McKinnon will be the past catching back.
Speaker 1: And I think Brita is one one that's s o
Speaker 1: l kind of foul gaze status. Um, others have come
Speaker 1: back already from what you thought was gonna be problems
Speaker 1: on the populist guys like Jameson Crowder, you can't worry
Speaker 1: about this guy's Okay, Yeah, there's gonna be polls and
Speaker 1: and and and and tweaks and stuff like that. But
Speaker 1: we are five weeks away from the NFL season, so
Speaker 1: someone being on that active puplist could be just like
Speaker 1: a three day stint. There. Don't worry about that new
Speaker 1: signing that I do think is interesting. And by the way,
Speaker 1: we knew about this. We talked about this. The Lions
Speaker 1: cut THEO Riddick. Okay, I said this, We knew this.
Speaker 1: He signed with the Denver Broncos. I think that's interesting.
Speaker 1: I think this could be watched this alright because Philip lindsay,
Speaker 1: that could eat into him. You know that they're starting
Speaker 1: to talk buzz about Royce Freeman being like, you know,
Speaker 1: someone that they can actually want to have asn't even split.
Speaker 1: If this gets clouded even further with THEO Riddick, I
Speaker 1: would start to fade. Philip lindsay, alright, you got a
Speaker 1: lot of buzz on guys like Mark Andrews. I think
Speaker 1: he's a leasinger tight end. You got a lot of
Speaker 1: conversation about the running back situation in Tampa Ronald Jones
Speaker 1: and Peyton Barber. Okay, uh, boost arians coming out saying
Speaker 1: that that could be a good battle for RB one.
Speaker 1: But my man Danie Otto finally had the drop, has
Speaker 1: the drop finally that we are going to use. This
Speaker 1: is going to be our our nickname song. Last year
Speaker 1: was Kenny Golladay. I brought up that Theo Riddick signed
Speaker 1: with Denver, he is gone from Detroit and Danny, you
Speaker 1: know what that means. So when you're lost and alone
Speaker 1: and sinking like a stone, Danny, what should our teams
Speaker 1: and the stats over jam? That's gonna be the official
Speaker 1: jam of the Stat's overbeat cipher this season. And listen, guys,
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame Game is tonight. It all starts.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something right now, the Broncos are
Speaker 1: minus two and a half. You're told is thirty four
Speaker 1: and a half. I'm gonna give you a nugget. Okay.
Speaker 1: In the last seven seasons in preseason Week one of
Speaker 1: the preseason with the Hall of Fame game included, there
Speaker 1: have only been I think the number is three over
Speaker 1: the last four or over the last seven seasons. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: They have only been three games in this first week
Speaker 1: that have had more than thirty four points scored. The
Speaker 1: over under in tonight's game is thirty four and a half.
Speaker 1: We've already heard from Coin that these Falcons are not going.
Speaker 1: We already know there's no Joe Flacco today. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you. I like the under early on. Defense is
Speaker 1: ahead of offense. You like it. They play vanilla concepts.
Speaker 1: No one's trying to throw the ball deep, all right.
Speaker 1: I like the under today. Um um, you can get
Speaker 1: it at thirty four and a half thirty five. I
Speaker 1: like the under to make a little bit of cash tonight.
Speaker 1: When we come back on the other side, I'll give
Speaker 1: you a little bit of DFS leaning, some guys to
Speaker 1: target in DFS, and we look at the a f
Speaker 1: C North Diamond and fool Gay disease. As we carry

Speaker 1: We're getting it in tomorrow. And they did the random
Speaker 1: draft and I have the number one pick. All right,
Speaker 1: so I'm picking from number one, and I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you something. I like the way it plays out. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you right now. I'll say it out loud. I
Speaker 1: don't care. I'm taking Sae Kwon one, Okay, And then
Speaker 1: when it comes back to me, I already talked about
Speaker 1: how I kind of like it, and we did it
Speaker 1: through the strategy. But here's the thing. This is what
Speaker 1: I want to say for anybody drafting number one, you
Speaker 1: really gotta or even number twelve, you gotta watch out
Speaker 1: for that run. I'm in a super this is a
Speaker 1: super Flex league. So like I could miss out on quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm gonna have what picks in between mine,
Speaker 1: I could get eviscerated, like multiple tiers of quarterbacks could go.
Speaker 1: I'm also very sensitive and we'll keep a very close
Speaker 1: eye on the tight end position because let's say, you
Speaker 1: know I have the um Let's say I don't get
Speaker 1: one of these top top guys the Earth's is. You
Speaker 1: know that one of those guys in the four five turn,
Speaker 1: Well I have the you know the Hunter Henrys they
Speaker 1: have in Ingram's at the six seven turn. Who's there?
Speaker 1: You know? So you really gotta watch out for the runs,
Speaker 1: especially for quarterback and tight end, especially in the super Flex.
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a good old time, Okay, the
Speaker 1: Flex League of Experts is that's gonna be drafting tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I name some of the people that y'all know that
Speaker 1: are gonna be in it, and then you know we're
Speaker 1: gonna draft. We're gonna have a couple of beers afterwards
Speaker 1: as well, you know, put the fun and functional sports
Speaker 1: drafting all right, So maybe you could check it out
Speaker 1: on social media. Maybe my patreons will put some stuff
Speaker 1: up for that. I also wanted to play this because
Speaker 1: we're talking about the you know, the holdouts of Melvin Gordon,
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, and uh, someone's got thoughts on it. Someone's
Speaker 1: got thoughts on it. And he tweeted. And I told
Speaker 1: you I was gonna share the person's tweets a bunch.
Speaker 1: O J tweeted, what do you think O J has
Speaker 1: to say about these running backs wanted to get their money?
Speaker 1: Let's find out, Danny, if you're ready with that, O
Speaker 1: J Audio, he had some thoughts on you know, he
Speaker 1: had some thoughts on Melvin Gordon, Zeke Elliott, these guys
Speaker 1: getting their money. I bet he wants them to get paid.
Speaker 1: Let's listen, hey, Twitter, the world is me yours truly
Speaker 1: Now to day, I'm gonna talk about two subjects, uh,
Speaker 1: Fantasy football and the debates tonight debate and football. We
Speaker 1: have two of the best running backs holding out, Ezekiel
Speaker 1: Elliott down in Dallas and Melvin Gordon with the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles charges. As far as Ezekiel is concerned, hey, look,
Speaker 1: this guy's outperformed his rookie contract. And Jerry Jones, let's
Speaker 1: face it, with him your playoffs, super Bowl caliber team.
Speaker 1: Without him, you may not even make the playoffs. I
Speaker 1: kind of understand the situation with Gordon because he misses games.
Speaker 1: Plus they have this guy Eckler and this guy Jackson,
Speaker 1: some pretty good Mr Spanos. When this guy is on
Speaker 1: the field playing, he's one of the best in the game.
Speaker 1: I think you can probably do an incentive based contract
Speaker 1: or something. I just know this, This is not the
Speaker 1: kind of guy you can have missed summer training camp
Speaker 1: because then I guarantee you he will get hurt. Hey,
Speaker 1: look this is what running backs looking forward to, showing
Speaker 1: a picture of his torn one of these guys. All right.
Speaker 1: Then he goes into the debate, So Danny, no surprise,
Speaker 1: brother man who wasn't running back wants to running back
Speaker 1: to get paid. No surprise at the right. And then
Speaker 1: here's the other thing. And I was gonna say it,
Speaker 1: and you know, I want to throw this out to
Speaker 1: the stats over each cipher real quick, and then we're
Speaker 1: gonna go into the NFC North. He just talked about
Speaker 1: the debate, right, did you see they played the national
Speaker 1: anthem at the debate last night? Before the debates? You
Speaker 1: got me thinking, like, where else besides a sporting event
Speaker 1: do they play the national anthem? You know what I'm
Speaker 1: saying I was wondering, like it struck me as weird.
Speaker 1: I was like flipping channels and I saw it. I
Speaker 1: was like, they're playing the national anthem, but the color
Speaker 1: guard for a debate, like in the chat room. Tell me,
Speaker 1: where have you ever heard or experienced the national anthem
Speaker 1: outside of a sporting event, at a debate, at a parade,
Speaker 1: just randomly in a ceremony. It was weird to me,
Speaker 1: it was it was. It was weird. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I liked it or not, but I digress. In
Speaker 1: any event, all right, a f C. North is where
Speaker 1: we were. We did a couple of teams already. Let's
Speaker 1: dive into these Pittsburgh Steelers. If you are real deal
Speaker 1: stats over beat Cipher, you gotta know you have to
Speaker 1: know my diamond in the rough for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 1: Come on, people. I was on them last year, more
Speaker 1: people are on them this year. The Steelers have more
Speaker 1: targets that have gone elsewhere than almost any other team.
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown gone, Jesse James gone. We know lev Bell
Speaker 1: ain't coming through that door. We know who speeds. Is
Speaker 1: diamond in the rough for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is right,
Speaker 1: or do I have to do the stiff arms? So
Speaker 1: you know it's Vance McDonald. That's right, Strong Style. You know,
Speaker 1: I have been on Vance McDonald and listen, I think
Speaker 1: without Jesse James there and there's questions about who is
Speaker 1: the number two wide for seaver there. I like Vance McDonald.
Speaker 1: I see him as I would rather have Vance McDonald
Speaker 1: than David and Joku. I know people think I'm crazy,
Speaker 1: but I expect regression from Eric Ebron, especially in touchdowns.
Speaker 1: I like Vance McDonald in that area around tight end
Speaker 1: oh eight or nine, and I'm good. He's a guy.
Speaker 1: I will be happy to have a little bit later
Speaker 1: on Van to make you dance. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I like Vance McDonald a lot. I would take him
Speaker 1: over Eric Ebron. Let me say that again over Eric
Speaker 1: Ebron after you get through the O. J. Howard Hunter,
Speaker 1: Henry Evan, Ingram, Jared Cook. Those are my four or five, six, seven.
Speaker 1: I can understand Vance McDonald's highest eight end eight alright,
Speaker 1: um no, not over Hunter Henry Strong Style. Okay, my
Speaker 1: that mid tier, that tier two for me is O. J.
Speaker 1: Howard Hunter, Henry Evan Ingram, Jared Cook. Okay, that's what
Speaker 1: four or five, six, seven? All right, obviously you have
Speaker 1: Kelsey Art's kittle, right. I believe the top of that
Speaker 1: next tier is Vance McDonald over in Joku over Ebron. Okay,
Speaker 1: I like Vance McDonald my however, four the Pittsburgh Steelers,
Speaker 1: and it's all relative, right, It's all relative, you know.
Speaker 1: I love Juju, Okay, I love Juju. I just wonder,
Speaker 1: I wonder if the love is so high, is he
Speaker 1: gonna really be a top five wide out? Is he
Speaker 1: really gonna be? I like him a lot, but now
Speaker 1: no a b similar to what I was talking about
Speaker 1: with Tyler Boyd. I like Juju at that level, though,
Speaker 1: there's just at that point where it's just like what
Speaker 1: early second round, mid second round? Would I take Juju
Speaker 1: over Antonio Brown? Would I take him over Odell? You know,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's like a fugazy I don't think
Speaker 1: he's gonna defecate the mattress, Okay, people, but I don't
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if he's the guy I
Speaker 1: would take in that space. Okay, give me, give me Odell,
Speaker 1: give me Mike Evans even over him, you know, I
Speaker 1: I I just have a funny feeling about Juju this year.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. If he's your wide receiver one,
Speaker 1: it's not in the scoff at. What I will also
Speaker 1: say about the Steels his Big Ben. The hate is
Speaker 1: going too far. He's like QB. After if you're in
Speaker 1: a twelve team league, everybody can have drafted a quarterback.
Speaker 1: Big Ben will still be here. The Big Ben let
Speaker 1: the NFL in passing yards last year. He let the
Speaker 1: NFL in passing attempts last year. He let the NFL
Speaker 1: in completions last year. Like guys, I know, he's getting
Speaker 1: up there in age, but he's one of those safe guys.
Speaker 1: If I can later on in my draft get a
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberberger and the Kyler Murray or a Ben Roethlisberger
Speaker 1: and a Jameis Winson, that's safe and upside. I'm very
Speaker 1: excited about that. All right, Let's talk a little bit
Speaker 1: about the Cincinnati Bengals. We just talked about them. Uh
Speaker 1: you know, uh A J Green. I'm a little bit
Speaker 1: worried about. I was gonna fade him anyway, right because
Speaker 1: he was that wide received are over thirty years old,
Speaker 1: who hasn't finished two of the last three seasons, so
Speaker 1: he was a little bit of a fool gay zy
Speaker 1: for me. Anyway, let me give you my diamond. This
Speaker 1: is gonna be something people are like speeds. You're crazy.
Speaker 1: I just told you about like Vance McDonald as like
Speaker 1: tight end eight or nine. Right, you got an ebron,
Speaker 1: you got it in Joku, you gotta I don't know what,
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker, let's say right to get you to twelve.
Speaker 1: After that, there's a lot of people that people are
Speaker 1: gonna take flyers on Austin Hooper, Chris Herndon, right, Greg Olsen.
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna take a flyer, and I said this
Speaker 1: about Jordan's red right, and if if it doesn't go well,
Speaker 1: if they get hurt, I could just drop him and
Speaker 1: pick up another replacement level guy. And the same can
Speaker 1: be said for Tyler Eifford. If healthy, We've seen him
Speaker 1: be a top five tight end. If healthy, and John
Speaker 1: Ross is banged up with a hammy and a J.
Speaker 1: Green isn't on the field, He's just as worth a
Speaker 1: shot as anybody you see as tight end like fourteen
Speaker 1: in the rankings. And I've seen it before and it's
Speaker 1: low stakes. If it doesn't go well, drop him if
Speaker 1: he gets hurt. In week four drop him, you know, so,
Speaker 1: I think he could be a true meaning of the
Speaker 1: diamond in the rough. We's a diamond because he could
Speaker 1: be a top five if they give it to him.
Speaker 1: We've seen it before. He had a season with thirteen
Speaker 1: or fourteen touchdowns like Abron's last year. Keep an eye
Speaker 1: on him if he's still around there late as a
Speaker 1: flyer tight end. Okay, I love me some joe mixing,
Speaker 1: my bro I will take him in the back end
Speaker 1: of the first round. I'll take him above Dalvin Cook.
Speaker 1: I'll take him above Nick Chubb. I will take me
Speaker 1: some joe mixing right around the James Conner side, right
Speaker 1: around RB seven eight something like that. He is a
Speaker 1: first round pick for me, all right. So there's a
Speaker 1: little bit about the uh you know, the rest of
Speaker 1: the A F c uh north. I'll give you some
Speaker 1: wind totals some stuff like that when we come back
Speaker 1: on the other side of the break. And then what
Speaker 1: we'll also do if you want to holler at the
Speaker 1: spitting statistician will open a phone lines. The number of
Speaker 1: call is eight four four eight four three six eight
Speaker 1: seven nine. I'll give you my win total leans my
Speaker 1: bets for the division and then I do want to
Speaker 1: hear from you guys. Where else have you ever heard
Speaker 1: the national anthem outside of a sporting event. I'm very
Speaker 1: interested in this. It was just odd for me. People,
Speaker 1: and I got an update on our East Sports conversation
Speaker 1: that I think is very interesting as well. Whether they're
Speaker 1: athletes or not, there's some serious things going on in
Speaker 1: the sports. We'll talk about it. Fantasy Freestyle Dilly Dilly

Speaker 1: to you. All right, We got some people in the
Speaker 1: chat room as well. People, listen, big Ben spreading the
Speaker 1: ball strong style. Right. Could the Steelers become a herd?
Speaker 1: Why do we think Juju will be such a target monster?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Listen, I'm not completely poo pooing him.
Speaker 1: He's a wide receiver one. Okay, he's a second round
Speaker 1: draft pick. I get it. But I do think the
Speaker 1: Stealers could be something of a herd. Somebody else said
Speaker 1: big Ben won me a strong as I said, Big
Speaker 1: Ben won me a championship. Yo. Last year, remember telling
Speaker 1: everybody to wait on quarterback. There was a league last
Speaker 1: year where I went late and I got like quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: you know, eleven and fourteen, and I rode with Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Big Ben as my two quarterbacks. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: won that league and won that cash. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Perry Ying saying he used to do the
Speaker 1: the pledge of allegiance in school, you know, stuff like that.
Speaker 1: But it is interesting, right if they do it in
Speaker 1: California in court says strong style interesting. Uh yeah, Jeremy Man,
Speaker 1: we're gonna make that Turkey joining for sure. All Right,
Speaker 1: I said, DFS. Listen to football all is starting in
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, people, all right, get your DFS lineups in.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you some leans here. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: Fandel when you do the five person line up at
Speaker 1: the m v P, you know, like the captain's chair
Speaker 1: at This is all about snap counts, okay. First of all,
Speaker 1: I like preseason DFS. You know why because all the
Speaker 1: squares out there that are gonna play are gonna put
Speaker 1: the names we know they ain't playing tonight. Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: ain't playing. Julio Jones ain't playing. We ain't seeing more
Speaker 1: than a series out of these people. Okay, so there's you.
Speaker 1: If you know who's getting the volume, who's getting the
Speaker 1: snap counts, you can look at the beat reporters, things
Speaker 1: of that nature, and you find the guys that are
Speaker 1: playing the entire second half as opposed to the guys
Speaker 1: playing two drives in the first quarter. You know, you
Speaker 1: really have a volume edge here. And also in preseason DFS,
Speaker 1: everybody is the same price. Okay, so let me give
Speaker 1: you something I like here that you can make some cash.
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm saying bet the under. I have a
Speaker 1: lean to Denver in this game on the money line,
Speaker 1: just so you know, it's not a strong play. My
Speaker 1: stronger plays. The they're at thirty four and a half.
Speaker 1: I'm seeing some places at thirty five. But for DFS,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Matt Ryan ain't playing. Matt
Speaker 1: shob is the backup there. He's the veteran. You know
Speaker 1: who they want to see though. This kid, their next
Speaker 1: quarterback is a kid named Kirk. You're ready for this,
Speaker 1: Kirk Ben Kirk. Okay, this is a guy that was
Speaker 1: like on their practice squad all last year, so he
Speaker 1: knows the you know, players and stuff. He's part of
Speaker 1: the team, and they don't need to see Matt Shob
Speaker 1: They know what they have in Matt job. This kid,
Speaker 1: Kirk ben Kirk is going to play I think a
Speaker 1: disproportfrationated amount of time. He is going to be the
Speaker 1: quarterback in this game that I believe gets the most
Speaker 1: snaps on either side. He's in my m v P
Speaker 1: chair tonight. Kirk ben Kirk is in my m v
Speaker 1: P chair for DFS tonight. Now, in preseason, most teams,
Speaker 1: this is when they may run out multiple kickers, right,
Speaker 1: get someone to give it a shot. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. Brandon McManus, however, is the only kicker on
Speaker 1: the Denver roster. And in the game where I like
Speaker 1: the under where I think the defense is ahead of
Speaker 1: the offensive, I'm gonna have kicker Brandon McManus in my
Speaker 1: lineup tonight. Okay, Then what I'm looking at is try
Speaker 1: and play the same game on the Denver side. We
Speaker 1: know Kevin Hogan is going to start for the Broncos,
Speaker 1: and then Drew lock is coming in, and then Brett
Speaker 1: Rippon is coming in. Okay, after that a lot of
Speaker 1: people are gonna have Drew Lock. A lot of people
Speaker 1: know Drew Lock. Drew Lock might play a good portion
Speaker 1: of the time, but so will this kid, Brett Rippon.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you something. If you want to
Speaker 1: zig when everybody else is zagging, Kirk Ben Kirk and
Speaker 1: Brett Rippon. I have them both in a tournament lineup,
Speaker 1: along with Kicker mcmannus, Brandon mcmannus. Okay, now I want
Speaker 1: to tell you about some guys that you know, beat
Speaker 1: reporters have been saying, look good, have stuff to to
Speaker 1: to prove the Atlanta running back room is interesting because
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna see DeVante Freeman. You don't even need
Speaker 1: to see Edo Smith. Okay. Two guys that I think
Speaker 1: may get burned to night. One former you know, we've
Speaker 1: seen him on a number of teams, Former Oregon Duck
Speaker 1: Kenyan Barner is with them. He's a speed guy, listening
Speaker 1: all right, and when defenses are playing basic vanilla stuff
Speaker 1: that might be interesting. The other guy in Atlanta that
Speaker 1: I like as a running back is Brian Hill. Brian
Speaker 1: Hill is a guy that's showing some chaps as a
Speaker 1: pass catcher as well swinging it out of the backfield
Speaker 1: screen passes. I think those are things that get installed
Speaker 1: easy and early, and I think those guys could be
Speaker 1: worth the play. Kenyan Barner and uh Any Hill today
Speaker 1: for Brian Hill, excuse me for Atlanta. So I gave
Speaker 1: you I like both the quarterbacks in there. Now I'll
Speaker 1: take the kicker McManus because he's the only one on
Speaker 1: the roster. I give you a Barner and Hill on
Speaker 1: the Denver side. Two pass catchers, I like one. Everybody's
Speaker 1: on Noah Fan as the tight end, the high draft pick.
Speaker 1: Don't don't watch this other tight end otta Wisconsin, Troy
Speaker 1: ful mcgali. He has been all the rave in camp
Speaker 1: so far. Okay, they say he has been the best
Speaker 1: tight end on the field. I think he will get
Speaker 1: some looks tonight because remember they got no offense. They
Speaker 1: have Jake Button coming back from injury. I think Fumagali
Speaker 1: is going to get a chance to shine tonight and
Speaker 1: he's gonna be low owned. Okay. I like Fumagali. And
Speaker 1: remember at wide out right, Manny Sanders working back Portland's
Speaker 1: Sutton day Shawn Hamilton. Hamilton's out with a Hammy Wortland.
Speaker 1: Sutton They're not gonna have him much. He's a starter.
Speaker 1: Tim Patrick, however, is a big body receiver that has
Speaker 1: gotten burned. I think he could become something of a
Speaker 1: safety blanket like Patrick and Fumagali on the Denver side,
Speaker 1: I like Barner and Hill on the Atlanta side. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you McManus is safe because he's the only kick
Speaker 1: around the roster. And I would go with these backup quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: these practice squad quarterbacks, because they are going to get
Speaker 1: the volume in this game. All right, we're talking about
Speaker 1: the a f C North. Listen, my best bet, honestly,
Speaker 1: and Jilly dilleyall tell you. I was all over the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns early. But I think it's gone way too far.
Speaker 1: The public steaming this is on way too far, to
Speaker 1: the point wherever they plus one twenty favorites. So I
Speaker 1: think the safest bet in the division is Big Ben
Speaker 1: and the Pittsburgh Steelers because I think this. Listen, it's
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. It's like the wildcat, it's like the read option.
Speaker 1: It was cool, but now we got tape on it.
Speaker 1: I don't know that Lamar Jackson survives sixteen games doing that, right,
Speaker 1: So I like the Pittsburgh Steelers that like plus one
Speaker 1: seventy plus one eighty to win the division. I think
Speaker 1: that's a good bet because the public is all over Cleveland.
Speaker 1: I think people are forgetting about the Blue Chips Steelers
Speaker 1: that are in that division. Danny, because I like to
Speaker 1: drop so much? So can we just chuck? What do
Speaker 1: you do to Danny when you're lost and alone and
Speaker 1: you're sinking like a stone? J Yes, absolutely, And tell
Speaker 1: the guys down there in the fantasy pit of misery
Speaker 1: if my boy Metal Matt is there the next time
Speaker 1: we play that carry on and I hit the damn drums?
Speaker 1: Can we turn this into a gift or something? Jerry
Speaker 1: clip that. That's what I'm talking about. All right, let's
Speaker 1: put the fun and functional sports content. We got a
Speaker 1: lot of people in the chat room. Perry Ying used
Speaker 1: to do, by the way, the um start spangled banner
Speaker 1: in elementary school before before assemblies. That's interesting. That's interesting, right.
Speaker 1: I remember I did in school. I did the Pledge
Speaker 1: of Allegiance, but I didn't think like y'all sung the
Speaker 1: Star Spangled banner in elementary school. That's wild, But in
Speaker 1: any event, no, the pledge of legions doesn't count strong,
Speaker 1: so it's different, you know what I mean, like pledge
Speaker 1: of allegiance I give you, but literally singing the national anthem.
Speaker 1: All right, But in any event, in any event, by
Speaker 1: the way, another guy j H. Signor V says, uh,
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd wasn't that good as the number one at
Speaker 1: the end of the year. And that's the thing, that's
Speaker 1: the question with Boyd. He's gonna get that number one attention.
Speaker 1: Everybody's like, oh, the targets will be there, but he's
Speaker 1: gonna also get the number one cornerback, all right, So
Speaker 1: it's it's it's um, it's half it's half a dozen
Speaker 1: and one six or the other, right kind of thing.
Speaker 1: At any event, all right, check this out, Danny. You
Speaker 1: know how we've been talking about E sports and are
Speaker 1: they really athletes? I am aware, all right, So I
Speaker 1: maybe coming around on this that this video game thing
Speaker 1: is real serious to and maybe I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. So first of all, this
Speaker 1: guy last week on three million dollars for winning the
Speaker 1: Fortnite Championship. Danny, how am I going to tell people
Speaker 1: like yo, whoa you? Only you still playing video games?
Speaker 1: When my man is like, yeah, but I can win
Speaker 1: three million. You know. There was another kid that won
Speaker 1: one million and bought his MoMA house. Oh that's nice,
Speaker 1: that's sweet. That's nice. But here's what I saw. I
Speaker 1: was watching um Real Sports on HBO Brian Gumbel, and
Speaker 1: they did a piece on you know, video games and
Speaker 1: what they called video game addiction Danny. And it's real.
Speaker 1: They've like actually termed a new classified, a new disorder.
Speaker 1: It's called Internet gaming disorder Danny. And that what they
Speaker 1: were saying is like, you know, an addiction to like
Speaker 1: it could be a drug or it could be a behavior, right,
Speaker 1: Like it could be like gambling is a is an addiction,
Speaker 1: you know. And they were saying, it's very similar to gambling,
Speaker 1: you know, because it kind of act makes it's the
Speaker 1: same you know, physiological elements of the brain, the same adrenaline,
Speaker 1: the dopamine, whatever it is. Her body like wants that
Speaker 1: experience over and over again. Three percent of people Danny
Speaker 1: who play video games develop up Internet gaminging disorder Danny.
Speaker 1: That's wild. And they're saying, like, you know, the game
Speaker 1: manufacturers like trying to do the same thing as casinos,
Speaker 1: you know, Bell Bolls and whistles, right, like have games
Speaker 1: that are like amaze that you can never get into
Speaker 1: or out of, like all these role playing games, right
Speaker 1: you know, now people are using real money. They're betting
Speaker 1: real money, or they're using real money for like coins
Speaker 1: or points in the game and stuff. There was a
Speaker 1: piece this guy was talking about how he was stealing
Speaker 1: him with money from his parents to go you know
Speaker 1: by like Christian Ronaldo and FIFA ridiculous. There was one
Speaker 1: guy they said that he was literally trying to commit
Speaker 1: suicide because he thought that's how he would finally beat
Speaker 1: the games. You wanted to end it all Like this
Speaker 1: is real, Danny. People are like people are dying in
Speaker 1: Korea because they're playing for like days at a time
Speaker 1: and developing blood clots. I'm not joking about this, you know,
Speaker 1: like seriously, that is what's happening out there, all right.
Speaker 1: And so here's the question I have for you, Danny.
Speaker 1: If video games is it could be a legit addiction
Speaker 1: and gambling. We already know it is legit addiction. Fantasy
Speaker 1: sports are played on the internet, right, Danny. And this
Speaker 1: disorder is called Internet gaming disorder. It is an actual
Speaker 1: clinical diagnosis. Now, okay, Internet gaming disorder, Danny, is fantasy
Speaker 1: football and internet game this fantasy football give us the
Speaker 1: same highs and lows? Yeah, does fantasy football involve us
Speaker 1: like using money for competition? Yes? Does fantasy football have
Speaker 1: like a big community and you know, um like say
Speaker 1: the video games? Yes? So Danny, why why why why
Speaker 1: can't the status over be cipher be clinically addicted to
Speaker 1: fantasy football? I mean they can, I I I we
Speaker 1: were talking about this before the show. Do you think
Speaker 1: I feel like with with anything, if you have an
Speaker 1: addictive if you have that addiction, that that personality right
Speaker 1: right right, if you're prone to addiction, right, you're going
Speaker 1: to find you're gonna get sucked in to be addicted
Speaker 1: to whatever it is. Well, what I think is funny, Danny,
Speaker 1: is that, like, you know, this is legit. You know,
Speaker 1: they're trying to validate that this is a legit issue.
Speaker 1: You know, the mental piece is saying it doesn't have
Speaker 1: the instant feedback that gaming does. Interesting, but DFS might Mendo,
Speaker 1: you know DFS might, and I could go online also
Speaker 1: every website that I bet on Mendo. There's also like
Speaker 1: a casino kind of tab where I could like just
Speaker 1: play video Blackjack. You know what I'm saying, so listen.
Speaker 1: If you're addicted to fantasy football, the stats over Beat
Speaker 1: Cipher is the place for you. I'm about to get
Speaker 1: out of here people. On Tuesday, we'll talk about the
Speaker 1: Status over Beat Cipher League again. We finished our division previews, okay,

Speaker 1: Championship game and then we will turn our attention to

Speaker 1: but we'll get into that on Monday. Remember, I'm taking
Speaker 1: the under fest people out there that I like football. Baby,

Speaker 1: it was all said and down, the Yankees opted not
Speaker 1: to part with a couple of the assets in in
Speaker 1: the minor leagues. Instead embraces them. And possibly that's what
Speaker 1: we're looking at for a September call up. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: the ace in the hole and maybe Severino. Maybe all
Speaker 1: this means Seborinos in a hell of a lot better
Speaker 1: shape than maybe we think he is. Maybe maybe that's
Speaker 1: the case. Let me let me I know, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, and and and I appreciate that. I appreciate that, Joe,
Speaker 1: But let me give you um and I hate to
Speaker 1: do it this way. Let me give you a glass
Speaker 1: half empty. Take right, and and and and and see
Speaker 1: if this makes sense to meet you, Joe. You know,
Speaker 1: like when we've been talking about the San Francisco Giants
Speaker 1: and other teams, right, when they looked themselves in the mirror,
Speaker 1: should they see themselves as contenders and decide to buy right?
Speaker 1: That's been my kind of thesis, my narrative the whole time. Right,
Speaker 1: And I've been saying that the Giants, even though they
Speaker 1: have their winning streak and all, if they're not actually
Speaker 1: serious contenders, they shouldn't go for it. Right, Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: we've bry that, right, Joe, as like the concept. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I had a good friend of mine who's a
Speaker 1: big time Yankee fan that I respect, saying that what if, Joe,
Speaker 1: what if Brian Cashman's calculus was actually Luke voit is hurt,
Speaker 1: may not come back? Is be compromised, Giancarlo Stanton is compromised.
Speaker 1: I know Severino actually is not gonna be coming back
Speaker 1: in good What if he knows that Dylan Betances is
Speaker 1: not really coming back? Gary Sanchez is on? Is the
Speaker 1: grand is a problem? What if what if Cashman put
Speaker 1: all these together in a pot saw Houston and was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, we aren't gonna be able to beat
Speaker 1: them this year. We're not, so maybe we don't sell
Speaker 1: assets and go for it. The same way I'm telling
Speaker 1: giants that their front office shouldn't go for it. I
Speaker 1: believe the Yankees were contenders. I believe they were close
Speaker 1: enough to go for it. I believe they're the best
Speaker 1: team in the American League. What But Brian Cashman, when
Speaker 1: he looked himself in the mirror with the Yankees, was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, Nah, we're too far away. Let's not
Speaker 1: fire the gun yet this year. I don't know, Joe,
Speaker 1: do you buy that like that? It's a self defeatist, right,
Speaker 1: It's him thinking that we're not good enough, Whereas I'm
Speaker 1: on the other side, I'm worried that gms are thinking
Speaker 1: about themselves with beer colored goggles, right and and romanticizing.
Speaker 1: Maybe Brian Cashman was self deprecating on the view of
Speaker 1: his team and was like, you know what, now is
Speaker 1: not the time to cash in and shoved to the
Speaker 1: middle of the table.
