Speaker 1: fun stuff we're gonna get into. I'm gonna talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, Mr Otani and if his first start lived
Speaker 1: up to expectations and what we can expect out of
Speaker 1: Otani moving forward, I'm gonna tell you something. There were
Speaker 1: some indicators in his first start that I really really like,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get into that a little bit later on.
Speaker 1: We gotta pull question up as always on Twitter, and
Speaker 1: if you want to follow me on Twitter, you can.

Speaker 1: at spit and Speed. You could always tell a friend
Speaker 1: to tell a friend about the stats Overbeat Cipher. We
Speaker 1: will hook you up so you can win your leagues
Speaker 1: and win that cash. As always, we're gonna get into
Speaker 1: football as well. We're in a kind of the duldrums
Speaker 1: of the NFL. You know, calendar. We had the franchise
Speaker 1: tag happened, we had the new league year happen, free
Speaker 1: agency waves have happened, we had the combines in pro days.
Speaker 1: We're now kind of organizing for the draft. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about the news and notes in the NFL, and I'll
Speaker 1: also talk about why one top five pick that is
Speaker 1: a quarterback may not be a fit in NFL locker rooms.
Speaker 1: And as always we put the fun in functional sports content.
Speaker 1: Here with the Stats Overbeat Cipher, we're gonna break down
Speaker 1: yet another rapping athlete for you. Okay, we're sort of
Speaker 1: improving now. The first couple of rapping athletes that we did,
Speaker 1: we were like, na, not so much. The next guys
Speaker 1: were doing in the month of April. This is some fire.
Speaker 1: We are going to be bringing some fire, not only
Speaker 1: from a rapping athlete, but from a friend of ours,
Speaker 1: my man Kenna Cashman in Roto where we're gonna get
Speaker 1: down with that on the stats Overbeat Cipher. We got
Speaker 1: the pole question up. We have so much to get into. Listen.
Speaker 1: You can hit us up on Twitter. You can watch
Speaker 1: us on Twitter, you could watch us on YouTube, you
Speaker 1: could watch us on Twitch. So many ways to be
Speaker 1: down with the stats Overbeat Cipher. Let's get it started
Speaker 1: right now, though. We're gonna start with baseball today. Okay,
Speaker 1: it is opening day, but listen, Honestly, if you were
Speaker 1: here in New York like I am with the with
Speaker 1: the Lost Junkies, uh, there was snow on the ground.
Speaker 1: You know. The home opener for the Yankees was yesterday
Speaker 1: and there was snow on the ground. It got postponed.
Speaker 1: And d D wind up with eight ribbies today for
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees. Yes, indeed, some d D D glorious.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna get into the baseball stuff. First of all,
Speaker 1: a couple of injuries to note. Listen to catcher position
Speaker 1: is being hit hard early in the season. JT. Real
Speaker 1: Muto is gonna miss a couple of weeks. He is
Speaker 1: now still with the Florida Marlins. I believe he's gonna
Speaker 1: be traded at some point. He's got a back issue.
Speaker 1: He's gonna miss about two weeks. Like I said, two
Speaker 1: weeks more, Okay, it's more than that ten day d
Speaker 1: L stint um. The problem with this for real Mute
Speaker 1: is I think it's gonna hurt his trade value. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think real Muto is one of these Marlins that
Speaker 1: are going to get moved. Remember they did the fire cell.
Speaker 1: I think real Muto is gonna get moved. But could
Speaker 1: this hurt his trade values? To keep an eye on that.
Speaker 1: Also in Seattle, Uh, Mike Zunino, he's on the ten
Speaker 1: day del He's got an oblique injuries. So you may
Speaker 1: need to go ahead and find some catchers early on
Speaker 1: in your fantasy baseball season. What I want to do
Speaker 1: is talk about some of my biggest takeaways from opening week.
Speaker 1: You know, the bumping is on the stadiums, on the
Speaker 1: facade Hope Springs Eternal. You know, everybody's really excited about it.
Speaker 1: Here's some of the things I took away from opening weekend.
Speaker 1: If you are a friend of the show and you
Speaker 1: listen or watch the Fantasy Freestyle, you part of the
Speaker 1: stats over Beat Cipher, I told you about some things
Speaker 1: that you need to keep an eye on all season long.
Speaker 1: I talked about the dramatic shift to left handed hitters.
Speaker 1: We might have four or five outfielders these days against
Speaker 1: guys like Joey Vado, against guys like Joey Gallo. Okay,
Speaker 1: so keep an eye out on that. Will continue to
Speaker 1: talk about that. We talked about the ball itself and
Speaker 1: how changes to the ball itself is making it fly
Speaker 1: further and helping out this home run spike that we
Speaker 1: are seeing. Chicks do love the long ball, so we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit more. And some other takeaways.
Speaker 1: For example, the New York Metropolitans. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you remember this last year, it was a Mets fan
Speaker 1: that had this like thumbs down thing that he was
Speaker 1: doing that. Then the Yankees kind of embraced, specifically Todd
Speaker 1: Frasier embraced and That's what they did a lot of
Speaker 1: teams these days when they get singles, you know they're
Speaker 1: doing things like or they're doing like hey, or the
Speaker 1: Mets are doing like this right now. You know they're
Speaker 1: always doing something back at the dugout. And last year
Speaker 1: the Yankees used to go thumbs down right because some
Speaker 1: guy was like a meme or something. Well, this guy
Speaker 1: is actually a Mets fan. And now Tom Todd Frasier
Speaker 1: is on the Mets this year, so what they do
Speaker 1: that he went from this to this like a little
Speaker 1: Facebook like as long as the Russians are okay with it, right,
Speaker 1: and um so now that's what they're doing. And he
Speaker 1: was at the game literally would have thumbs up. I
Speaker 1: thought that was cool. In Opening weekend, also, did you
Speaker 1: see this Bryce Harper. He was in Cincinnati and one
Speaker 1: of the fans start taunting Bryce Harper right channing like
Speaker 1: overrated at him. Literally seconds later, he jack's a home
Speaker 1: run into right center field. I thought that was funny.
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper is off to a hot start. Bryce Harper
Speaker 1: is speeds is pick for n l m v P
Speaker 1: the Washington National Are speeds is pick for the nl Pennant. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think they're off to a hot start. You definitely
Speaker 1: like that. Hello to everybody out there in studio thirty four. Um,
Speaker 1: so I liked Washington Nationals. They're off to a hot start.
Speaker 1: I think Bryce is just gonna keep it going and
Speaker 1: ultimately what might be his swan song with the Washington Nationals. Also,
Speaker 1: did you see my man each ye Row? Each Yearrow
Speaker 1: as a forty four year old robbing home runs, getting
Speaker 1: hits in that Seattle Mariners lineup, big shout out. We
Speaker 1: tip our cap to Mr Ichio Suzuki. He's using that.
Speaker 1: Wah if you know about that? Do you guys know
Speaker 1: about that? I don't usually do this, but book references, y'all,
Speaker 1: book references. If you have any time, check out The
Speaker 1: Samurai Way of Baseball and you gotta have WA. If
Speaker 1: you are a big time baseball fan, these are two
Speaker 1: books you definitely need to read because Speeds does more
Speaker 1: than just you know, vomit into this microphone. I'm a
Speaker 1: learned dude as well. Okay, you gotta have WA and
Speaker 1: The Samurai Way of Baseball too, incredible books about Japanese baseball,
Speaker 1: some of our players that have gone over there, some
Speaker 1: of their players that have come over here. Maybe you
Speaker 1: know about the way each year, oh certainly has the
Speaker 1: way I told you about these three true outcomes as well.
Speaker 1: In baseball, how you know, we care less about the strikeout.
Speaker 1: We care more about launch angle. We care more about
Speaker 1: removing the variable of defense out of it and just
Speaker 1: hitting home runs. Right, the three true outcomes. Will check
Speaker 1: this out. Ian happ on the first pitch of the
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen Major League baseball season, he went yard.
Speaker 1: Three true outcomes. Check this out. On opening day there
Speaker 1: were thirteen games. They were thirty three home runs hit.
Speaker 1: We're talking about two or three home runs per game.
Speaker 1: We are continuing to surpass these records I told you
Speaker 1: about in the last episode. How we have set a record.
Speaker 1: I think the ball is changing. Three true outcomes. People
Speaker 1: don't care about strikeouts, People only care about the launch angle.
Speaker 1: This is going to continue to happen. We're gonna keep
Speaker 1: an eye out on this and then an opening weekend. Honestly,
Speaker 1: the team, or should I say the manager that was
Speaker 1: in focus was Gabe Kapitler over there in Philadelphia. This
Speaker 1: guy is really changing the way he's managing, and some
Speaker 1: people don't like it. Okay, check this out one of
Speaker 1: his best players, Audible Herrera. He sat on opening day
Speaker 1: because he didn't like the matchup. Kapitler has also used
Speaker 1: twenty one pitchers in the first three game set. My
Speaker 1: man is averaging seven pitchers a game. He is wearing
Speaker 1: out the path from the dugout to the mound. I
Speaker 1: thought we only had six mound visits. He was also
Speaker 1: guaranteeing that the Philadelphia Phillies. I hear it's always sunny
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, but he's guaranteeing that the Phillies will be
Speaker 1: a playoff team this year. Philadelphia is all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: like title town, right, Villanova just cut down the nets.
Speaker 1: Big shout out to Jay Wright and his game, which
Speaker 1: is on point. Big shout out to the Philadelphia Eagles. Fly,
Speaker 1: Eagles Fly. If you're a friend of the show and
Speaker 1: the stats over beat Cipher, you know your boys Speeds
Speaker 1: was on the Eagles early preseason. I told you about
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Will it continue at the Phillies probably not.
Speaker 1: Will it continue with the seventies sixers though the process
Speaker 1: certainly looks good. But Gabe Kapler think about this. MLB
Speaker 1: is even reprimanding him because once he went out and
Speaker 1: made a pitching change when no one was warming up
Speaker 1: in the bullpen. I'd call that a rookie mistake. Keep
Speaker 1: an eye on what's going on in Philadelphia, all right. Also,
Speaker 1: I told you about how the Tampa Bay Rays are
Speaker 1: changing the idea of the rotation. Right, A lot of
Speaker 1: teams are doing the six man rotation. There's the stad
Speaker 1: the five man rotation. Well, the Tampa Bay Rays are
Speaker 1: using a four man rotation and then every fifth day
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a bullpen day. They're just gonna have
Speaker 1: a bullpen day, Okay. And it worked. Uh the first
Speaker 1: time around. They had Andrew Kittridge throw for three and
Speaker 1: a third innings, then Yard Row through for four innings,
Speaker 1: then um Chas Row and Sergio Romo finished up, and
Speaker 1: it actually worked. And I'm gonna tell you something. Watch
Speaker 1: small market teams do this because you're not gonna pay
Speaker 1: a picture. You're not gonna pay a picture. This there
Speaker 1: three year, sixty two million dollar contract. If you're not contending. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's what's going on these days, right. If you ain't
Speaker 1: first your last, like Ricky Bobby would say, so, if
Speaker 1: you're not competing, then why sign some mid level number
Speaker 1: three starter to a twelve million dollar a year deal.
Speaker 1: You're not doing that, So the bullpen is interesting. They
Speaker 1: also had um, this is the raise they had Nate
Speaker 1: Eovaldi go on the d L. He's gonna have Tommy
Speaker 1: John surgery. That looks like so they might have to
Speaker 1: do the bullpen day two out of five. That might
Speaker 1: be a stretch. Keep an eye out on that. But
Speaker 1: the biggest thing to me in opening weekend was the
Speaker 1: debut of Otani. Shown Otani. Okay, this is the kid.
Speaker 1: They called him in Japan the Babe Ruth of the
Speaker 1: Japanese League because this dude was like a stud pitcher
Speaker 1: and a stud hitter. Okay, he's coming over to the Angels.
Speaker 1: He got signed by the Angels. He's gonna be a picture.
Speaker 1: He's gonna d H on certain other days right uh,
Speaker 1: not today, right before he starts, to the day right
Speaker 1: after he starts, but in those kind of like throw days,
Speaker 1: he's gonna also serve as the d H for the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, who I'm kind of high
Speaker 1: on this season. I like Garrett Richards, I like Otani,
Speaker 1: I like Tyler Skaggs, I like Shoemaker, I like a
Speaker 1: lot of them to bounce back and kind of be
Speaker 1: above where they were in previous years. I like them
Speaker 1: to take a step and I like their offense. You know,
Speaker 1: I know kindlers on the d L, but the Cozart
Speaker 1: move a full season of Justin Upton and with men
Speaker 1: on base and protection, look out for my trout. Okay, um,
Speaker 1: but let's talk about Otani okay, because we gotta pull
Speaker 1: question up on Twitter. You can hit me up at
Speaker 1: spitting speeds. My poll question is will Otani ever become
Speaker 1: an All Star in Major League Baseball? And if so,
Speaker 1: will he use to as a picture as a hitter?
Speaker 1: Both or neither? You can hit me up on Twitter
Speaker 1: right now. We've got that poll question going. We'll check
Speaker 1: in on it a little bit later on in this show.
Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you something. I like what I
Speaker 1: saw out of the Otani debut. Okay, Um, he's only
Speaker 1: one for five hitting. I think last Thursday he hit
Speaker 1: as the DH he went one for five, But this pitching,
Speaker 1: he could be something as a picture. To me. Okay,
Speaker 1: I was worried about him a little bit because in
Speaker 1: spring training is e r A was like seven, which
Speaker 1: was absolutely ridiculous and his fastball velocity was at like
Speaker 1: that was a problem to me. I was a little
Speaker 1: bit I had, you know, tampered expectations when it came
Speaker 1: to Altani. Oltani was not on any of my teams
Speaker 1: in my drafts. But now he's a thing. And let
Speaker 1: me tell you why. I look deeper. You know how
Speaker 1: we do with the diamonds and fulghazes, would look a
Speaker 1: little deeper to see if they were a diamond in
Speaker 1: the rough or if they got some imperfections and if
Speaker 1: there are a foul gaze to forget about. I think
Speaker 1: Otani is a diamond. And here's why I check this out.
Speaker 1: It's not only the fact that he went six innings
Speaker 1: and gave up three yearned runs, because that's like a
Speaker 1: pedestrian line. You it's a quality start, but it's a
Speaker 1: pedestrian line. All three runs came from a home run
Speaker 1: from Matt Chapman, which is an up and comer himself. Right.
Speaker 1: But here are the stats that I like. One, he
Speaker 1: threw ninety two pitches, sixty three of them were for strikes,
Speaker 1: and eighteen we're swinging misses. That's what you're looking at,
Speaker 1: the swinging miss stuff. The with rate as it were,
Speaker 1: and that was on par with your studs in the
Speaker 1: American League, specifically on his fork ball. On his splitter.
Speaker 1: He threw his splitter twenty four times. He got ten
Speaker 1: swinging missus. That is double the rate that like Massahiro
Speaker 1: Tanaka gets on his split finger, double the rate of Saya,
Speaker 1: Kevin Gosman and other good fork ballers in the American League.
Speaker 1: So that is going to translate. I'm telling you, I'm
Speaker 1: building the case right now for why Shanyo Tani is translatable. Okay,
Speaker 1: swinging miss stuff, a forkball that plays it looked like
Speaker 1: a video game pitch, alright, So I like that. The
Speaker 1: other thing I like, I gotta tell you something that
Speaker 1: vel in spring training. That was dude hit nine and
Speaker 1: a hundred on the gun in his first start against
Speaker 1: Oakland over the weekend. His average fastball was nineties seven
Speaker 1: point eight miles an hour. Last year, the best average
Speaker 1: fastball in all of Major League Baseball was Severino for
Speaker 1: the Yankees. His was ninety seven point five. This dude
Speaker 1: was averaging point eight. If you have literally the best
Speaker 1: fastball in the league and a video game splitter, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something that's gonna play I know he's
Speaker 1: got the high slider, and I know that's what Chapman
Speaker 1: took yard, but I think this plays. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you right now, he's developing that third pitch. I do
Speaker 1: believe Shanny Otani will eventually be an All Star, and
Speaker 1: it will be as a picture. Right now, we got
Speaker 1: the poll question up right now at about a hundred
Speaker 1: of you have voted already in the last hour. I
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Shout out to the stats over beat cipher.
Speaker 1: Of you say yes he will be an All Star
Speaker 1: as a picture, seven percent say only as a hitter,
Speaker 1: ten percent say both say neither. You can always hit
Speaker 1: me up on Twitter, ask me questions or answer the poll.
Speaker 1: But we got my man, Danny Otto down there in
Speaker 1: the fantasy Pit of Misery, and Danny, I want to
Speaker 1: talk you through this next story. So, Danny, are you
Speaker 1: with me down there on four down there in the
Speaker 1: fantasy pit of misery? Are you with me? Danny? All right?
Speaker 1: Check this out? Okay, we got a guy's a picture
Speaker 1: on the Cleveland Indians, and I talked about this a
Speaker 1: little bit on the last podcast, The Light the Late
Speaker 1: Week podcast last week. Okay, so if you subscribe, like
Speaker 1: you should. You should rate, review, subscribe to the podcast.
Speaker 1: You may have heard this already, but my man Danny
Speaker 1: Otto has not. Danny. There's a picture on the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Indians named Trevor Bauer. Okay, okay, cool. He was going
Speaker 1: for arbitration. And that's like when he says how much
Speaker 1: he should make and there's like an arbiter before you
Speaker 1: hit like free agency, you can go through arbitration with
Speaker 1: your team. Okay. And this is he's a decent picture.
Speaker 1: He's on one of my fantasy teams. He's a legit picture. Okay.
Speaker 1: He was looking to basically make a mockery of the
Speaker 1: arbitration system. All right, Danny, So, like you and your
Speaker 1: agents submit what you think you should be paid, the
Speaker 1: teams has another number, and then the arbiter decides what
Speaker 1: your salary is. You get on the concept, Danny. So,
Speaker 1: Trevor Bauer is kind of like, you know, a fun
Speaker 1: loving guy, shall we say he he suggested for his salary.
Speaker 1: Get this, Danny. He originally wanted his alleried is be
Speaker 1: six point nine million, sixty nine. His agent was like, nah,
Speaker 1: don't do that, don't do that, So instead they settled
Speaker 1: on this number. Get ready for this, Danny. Six million,
Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty thousand, six hundred and ninety dollars
Speaker 1: and sixty nine cents. That's what he wanted his salary
Speaker 1: to be. Okay, the Cleveland Indians came out with another number.
Speaker 1: He eventually was like, okay, I'll remove all weed and
Speaker 1: sex references from my salary and eventually was like, nah,
Speaker 1: I want um six point five two million whatever. He
Speaker 1: won the arbitration. Okay, Danny, So he is making six
Speaker 1: point five to five million dollars this year, which is awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was like, na, na, na, I'm only gonna pay
Speaker 1: myself six million, four hundred and twenty thousand, six hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety dollars and sixty nine cents. So check this out.
Speaker 1: Here's what he's doing with the difference. It's something like
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand dollar difference right that he um got
Speaker 1: in the arbitration. He is starting, Danny his sixty nine
Speaker 1: days of giving. So what he's doing is on Twitter,
Speaker 1: He's asking his followers to just nominate different charities, okay,
Speaker 1: and he is going to get this, Danny. He is
Speaker 1: going to give four hundred and twenty dollars and sixty
Speaker 1: nine cents to the charity of choice from Twitter for
Speaker 1: the next sixty nine days in a row. Is awesome.
Speaker 1: It is awesome. It is absolutely awesome. This is Trevor
Speaker 1: Bauer picture of the Cleveland Indians. He is giving away
Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty dollars and sixty nine cents for
Speaker 1: the next sixty nine days to a charity of choice. So, Danny,
Speaker 1: I ask you, what charities should the stats over Beat
Speaker 1: Cipher like holler at uh you know Trevor Bauer and
Speaker 1: be like, yo, give to this charity. What do we think?
Speaker 1: Do you have any front runners already? Not necessarily. I
Speaker 1: think we should put it out to the stats over
Speaker 1: Beat Cipher. Uh So, if anybody's there in the chat room,
Speaker 1: whether it's strong style, I know we got some big
Speaker 1: time stats over Beat cypher's. I know my homegirl Jilly
Speaker 1: Dilley is watching or listening right now. Big shout out
Speaker 1: to Jilly Dilley and her father in law Stanley. I
Speaker 1: see you out there, Stanley. I hope you become part
Speaker 1: of the stats over Beat Cipher and do me a favorite,
Speaker 1: suggest a charity that we can get at Trevor Bauer
Speaker 1: and see if he'll donate four to Danny. Is this
Speaker 1: not the best thing you've ever heard of in your life?
Speaker 1: One of the greatest. Absolutely. Absolutely. Jeff Passing out of Yahoo,
Speaker 1: who I know from back in the Day's go Orange,
Speaker 1: Let's go cus Um. He reported this, and he's saying
Speaker 1: that this is a whole new section of charity. He's
Speaker 1: calling it quote unquote benevolent trolling. And that's what I
Speaker 1: think he's doing. He is trolling the arbitration system, making
Speaker 1: a mockery out of the arbitration system, and I, for
Speaker 1: one love it. Okay, So do me a favor, hit
Speaker 1: me up at spitting speeds and let me know what
Speaker 1: charities should we tell Trevor Bauer to donate FI cents
Speaker 1: to check this out, Danny. Here's what he says, quote,
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to give to charity. Man. I'm fortunate
Speaker 1: enough to be in a position where I have the
Speaker 1: ability to do that, I have the means to do that.
Speaker 1: I'm in a good spot and if I can use
Speaker 1: my platform to spread stuff that I'm passionate about, I'd
Speaker 1: love to do so. This is the kind of guy
Speaker 1: we we love and support, right Danny, Absolutely, Okay, check
Speaker 1: it out. You can check it out on my Twitter.
Speaker 1: I retweeted his video where he announced the sixty nine
Speaker 1: Days of Giving. So we're gonna be doing this for
Speaker 1: the next two months. So here in the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: with the Stats over Beat Cipher, we're gonna check in
Speaker 1: on Trevor Bower and his sixty nine Days of Giving.
Speaker 1: But you know here, what we do here speeds, the
Speaker 1: spitting statistician, the stable genies, and vocal minority. We put
Speaker 1: the fun and functional sports radio. And there's no way
Speaker 1: to do it than aligning ourselves with Trevor Bauer and
Speaker 1: the sixty nine Days of Giving. So, Danny, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you some think time. When we come back at
Speaker 1: the end of the show and we break down the
Speaker 1: rapping Athlete, I'll see if you have any other charities
Speaker 1: that we should um, you know, suggest to Trevor Bauer.
Speaker 1: Sound good. I'm sure it does. It sounds great. All right,
Speaker 1: check this out, guys before we switch into football. I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you about my favorite DFS site. It is

Speaker 1: stable genius, and vocal minorities sent you. All right, that's
Speaker 1: how we do it. I want to switch over to
Speaker 1: football though. We got some news and notes. We had
Speaker 1: a big trade that happened like an hour ago. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you're listening right now, breaking news, Danny. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you have like a little breaking news thing,
Speaker 1: do do do do do do do whatever it is,
Speaker 1: but breaking news right now. The New England Patriots have
Speaker 1: traded wide receiver Brandon Cooks and a fourth round pick
Speaker 1: two the Los Angeles Rams. The Los Angeles Rams for
Speaker 1: their first round pick and a sixth round pick. So
Speaker 1: now the Pats have the Rams number twenty three pick overall.
Speaker 1: But the Rams, who lost Sammy Watkins and free agency,
Speaker 1: replaced their downfield threat with Brandon Cooks. Well this sounds
Speaker 1: like breaking news. Yeah, I like that. I like that Danny.
Speaker 1: They don't call him the best in the business for nothing.
Speaker 1: Danny pulling double duty down there in the fantasy pit
Speaker 1: of misery. Dilly Dilly to Danny. Um. So Brandon Cooks
Speaker 1: is now on the Rams. Okay, I told you last week.
Speaker 1: I love what the Rams are doing. The Rams are
Speaker 1: taking their chips and they are shoving all in. They
Speaker 1: have an ascending quarterback. They have an m v P
Speaker 1: caliber back in Todd Gurley. Right, what did they do
Speaker 1: on the defensive side? They got themselves, Marcus Peters and
Speaker 1: a Keep Talib at new cornerbacks. What else did they do?
Speaker 1: They got themselves and Dominicans sue on one defensive end.
Speaker 1: Don't forget Aaron Donald, the in my opinion, best defensive
Speaker 1: player in the NFL. So what's that gonna mean. That's
Speaker 1: gonna mean quick pressure up the middle, and then you
Speaker 1: have ball hawking corners on either side, and Talib and
Speaker 1: in Peter's whoa. And then on the offensive side, you
Speaker 1: got goth ascending, you have girly fantasy m v P,
Speaker 1: you got cup, you got Woods. You now add Brandon
Speaker 1: Cooks to the mix in a division where the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals are on the decline, in a division where the
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks are on the decline, in a division where
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners and Jimmy g Q. Sure
Speaker 1: they're ascending, but they got a little ways to go.
Speaker 1: Boy who I love the Los Angeles Rams, and this
Speaker 1: move only helps it even more. I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 1: look the futures, bets. I think the NFC might go
Speaker 1: through Los Angeles this year. But let's look at the
Speaker 1: Pats side. Listen, they lost their defensive coordinator, they lost
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis, they lost Malcolm Butler. Right, they should have
Speaker 1: lost their offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels, but he did some
Speaker 1: prodigal son nonsense. Right, there's questions about if if Gronk
Speaker 1: cares about football anymore. I think it's the fall of Rome.
Speaker 1: I think it's the fall of Rome. Youve got Tom
Speaker 1: Brady as a you know, seventy four year old and
Speaker 1: you got Bill Belichick's message, which after eighteen years, maybe
Speaker 1: getting a little bit stale. Okay, the little gremlin in
Speaker 1: his hoodie maybe getting a little bit stale. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you right now, later on, when we get into
Speaker 1: football season, I will not be picking the New England
Speaker 1: Patriots to be in the a f C title game.
Speaker 1: That's right. I said it. We're gonna be seeing some
Speaker 1: fresh blood in the a f C. And this is
Speaker 1: no different. Okay, you lost Brandon Cooks. Let me ask
Speaker 1: you something, what weapons do you really have outside of Gronk?
Speaker 1: Rex Birkehead is your weapon? You know, Malcolm Mitchell is
Speaker 1: your weapon. What are you really doing? Are you just
Speaker 1: relying on you know, Gronk and Brady And that's about it.
Speaker 1: You lost your best offensive lineman and Nate Soldier going
Speaker 1: to the Giants as well, all right, so keep an
Speaker 1: eye out on that. Obviously, the Pats now have two
Speaker 1: for shround picks and can replenish the Coffers. But it
Speaker 1: could be the fall of Rome up there in New England.
Speaker 1: Other news and notes real quick, The Vikings have signed
Speaker 1: wide receiver Kendell Right, that is interesting. It's not gonna
Speaker 1: threaten Stefan. Can you digs it or Adam? I got
Speaker 1: a feeling, but I do think it threatens La Kwan Treadwill.
Speaker 1: I do think it threatens Michael Floyd. I think right
Speaker 1: becomes the wide receiver three for the Minnesota Vikings and
Speaker 1: it could be an interesting fantasy valuable spot. I wanted
Speaker 1: to let you know about that the Jets have signed
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls, formerly of the Seattle Seahawks. This is non
Speaker 1: the script to me in on the Jets. You still
Speaker 1: have Boom Boom bilal pal pal. They signed the Crow
Speaker 1: Show Isaiah Cowell. You have Elijah McGuire as well. I
Speaker 1: don't think this moves. The needle is a nondescript story
Speaker 1: out there in the Raiders. Don't check this out. They
Speaker 1: cut their Pro Bowl punter, Marquette King. I thought that
Speaker 1: was pretty interesting. Might they be going, you know, for
Speaker 1: the replenished in the draft as well. There's a big
Speaker 1: time EXAs punter. His name is Michael Dixon. Okay, this
Speaker 1: dude was far and away the best punter in NZ
Speaker 1: double A. Watch someone spend a top first, second or
Speaker 1: third round pick on this punter out of Texas, and
Speaker 1: I think it could be the Raiders replacing King, and
Speaker 1: it could be the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. Their
Speaker 1: punter Donnie Jones retired after the Super Bowl, so keep
Speaker 1: an eye out on that. Another thing to talk to
Speaker 1: you about is Dez Brian and the Cowboys. They seem
Speaker 1: to be like this. Guys, they really seem to be
Speaker 1: like this. I don't know if uh, I don't think
Speaker 1: he's gonna get cut or traded, but keep an eye
Speaker 1: out on des Brian. Remember they brought in some new
Speaker 1: wide receiver talent as well last week, Alan Hearns from
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. We thought it was to kind of
Speaker 1: push Terrence Williams as the number two, But does that
Speaker 1: make Dez expendable. We'll keep an eye out on that.
Speaker 1: The gap between Odell Beckham and the Giants continues to
Speaker 1: widen as well. We hear that the Giants want to
Speaker 1: first round picks for old Dell Beckham. I gotta tell you, though,
Speaker 1: I thought he might have round up with the Rams.
Speaker 1: I thought the Rams were a team that might have
Speaker 1: paid that cost for Odell Beckham, but instead they just
Speaker 1: went and acquired Brandon Cooks for the same role. So
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens when O'Dell um. The last thing
Speaker 1: I'll say about this in terms of news and notes
Speaker 1: before we get into our main football story today here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle is Peter Peter King Monday Morning Quarterback.
Speaker 1: They are now reporting that sources say the Browns will
Speaker 1: take Josh Allen number one overall, Josh Allen, the quarterback
Speaker 1: out of Wyoming. I do believe. Remember I gave you
Speaker 1: my preview on all these draft quarterbacks. Tune into there
Speaker 1: was a previous episode. That's why you got a rate
Speaker 1: review and subscribe to the podcast. Okay, because if you do,
Speaker 1: you had that on a previous episode of the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle where I talked through the strengths and weaknesses of
Speaker 1: all of these quarterbacks, Donald Rosen, Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, even Mason Rudolph, and the kid out of
Speaker 1: rich Richmond, Cole Loletta. I broke all of those guys down.
Speaker 1: But it looks like the Browns are gonna go ahead
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. A lot of people are reporting that
Speaker 1: right now, and I think it's interesting because if you're
Speaker 1: the Browns, you acquire Tyron Taylor, you acquire t mobile
Speaker 1: to be your kind of bridge quarterback, but he's a
Speaker 1: little bit better than a bridge. So then given that,
Speaker 1: it makes sense to me that you're gonna get this
Speaker 1: project at quarterback that has all the raw tools that
Speaker 1: you can develop instead of say a guy like Sam
Speaker 1: Donald that of USC who might be more ready. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that could be where they go. I think it
Speaker 1: makes sense with Tyrod there, and then that could mean
Speaker 1: that guys like Sam Donald and Josh Rosen are in
Speaker 1: play for number two and three here in New York,
Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants and the j E. T.
Speaker 1: S Jets, Jets Jets. But what I want to do
Speaker 1: is dive in a little bit deeper on Josh Rosen.
Speaker 1: He's a quarterback out of u c l A. And
Speaker 1: there's been, um, there's been some stuff about him. Okay.
Speaker 1: He came out last year during college football saying that,
Speaker 1: you know, talking about how athletes should be paid. He's
Speaker 1: an outspoken dude. He's intellectual, he has his own mind, okay,
Speaker 1: and he talks a little bit. What I thought was
Speaker 1: interesting is two things. One, his coach, Jim Mora at
Speaker 1: U c l A came out and said that if
Speaker 1: he had the number one pick. He would pick Sam Donald.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't pick his own guy. He wouldn't pick his
Speaker 1: own guy. What does that mean? He also came out
Speaker 1: Jim More again Rosen's coach, and said that Rosen needs
Speaker 1: to be quote unquote challenged intellectually, that he'd go with
Speaker 1: Donald number one, and that Rosen needs to be challenged intellectually.
Speaker 1: Not necessarily a ringing indorsement from your college coach. Check
Speaker 1: this out, he says, and I quote he needs to
Speaker 1: be challenged intellectually so he doesn't get bored. He's a millennial.
Speaker 1: He wants to know why. Millennials once they know why,
Speaker 1: they're good. Josh has a lot of interests in life.
Speaker 1: If you could hold his concentration and focus only on
Speaker 1: football for a few years, he'll set the world on fire.
Speaker 1: He has so much abilities. A really good kid. But
Speaker 1: he's kind of saying that, like, you have to interest him,
Speaker 1: you have to invest him, you have to challenge him.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that plays. Like in the draft,
Speaker 1: you're always here about these guys who talk about how
Speaker 1: much they love football. You're looking for guys who eat sleep,
Speaker 1: dream bleed. Football doesn't seem like Josh Rosen is that
Speaker 1: kind of guy. Josh Rosen has his own opinions. Josh
Speaker 1: Rosen is also not the most agile of quarterbacks. And
Speaker 1: so your boy Speeds thinks that Josh Rosen is gonna
Speaker 1: get concust and then concust again. And when he's worried
Speaker 1: about his brain, if he's some kind of millennial intellectual,
Speaker 1: how long do you think Josh Rosen is down for
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm not sure. You see how guys walk
Speaker 1: away and retire right now in their late twenties. If
Speaker 1: you're going to invest the top five pick on Josh Roseen,
Speaker 1: and and there's a risk that he, you know, may
Speaker 1: not want to do it anymore after three years, or
Speaker 1: after a hundred hits to the brain, I would it's
Speaker 1: caused for pause for me. Here's the other thing in
Speaker 1: that NFL locker room. It's not like college man. You're
Speaker 1: dealing with grown ass men that need to feed their families.
Speaker 1: This is how they put food on the table, and
Speaker 1: you're out there being like a mercurial dude. I don't
Speaker 1: know how that plays in an NFL locker room. Okay,
Speaker 1: I understand, listen, I understand having your perspective I get
Speaker 1: the opportunity to spit my perspective into this microphone on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Network. Trust me, I get it. But
Speaker 1: is he a fit for an NFL locker room. I'm
Speaker 1: not so sure. As of now, I am fading Josh Rosen.
Speaker 1: I think he might be a little bit of a
Speaker 1: long term fool gaze. He someone to forget about when
Speaker 1: it comes to the NFL Draft. Give me Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 1: give me Sam Donald instead. That's my I think. And
Speaker 1: the other part of this is maybe they're in cahoots
Speaker 1: with each other more his coach and Rosen, because there
Speaker 1: have been reports that he does not want to go
Speaker 1: to Cleveland. He's a California kid, you know, he's a
Speaker 1: bright light to city boy. Maybe they're throwing this out there,
Speaker 1: his coach being like a he's material, Yeah, he still
Speaker 1: has room to develop. Maybe this is all a pr
Speaker 1: stick to avoid Cleveland at number one because number two
Speaker 1: and number three New York City. Okay, So could this
Speaker 1: all be them engineering his way to get Rosen away
Speaker 1: from Cleveland with the number one or the number four
Speaker 1: pick and open in New York in a bigger media
Speaker 1: market where he can, you know, explore his talents as
Speaker 1: it were your boys speeds kind of thinks that I
Speaker 1: tweeted that out earlier in the week and my man
Speaker 1: Emery Hunt, the czar the playbook, the glitch in the system,
Speaker 1: liked it and agreed. So keep an eye out on that,
Speaker 1: UM as we move on getting ready for the draft.
Speaker 1: But here's what I gotta do, all right, Danny, We're
Speaker 1: gonna about to put the fun and functional sports Radio.
Speaker 1: As you know, we have a good time here with
Speaker 1: the Stats over Beat Cipher Jilly Dillian Stanley down in Florida.
Speaker 1: Big shout out to you. I got a question from
Speaker 1: the Stats Overbeat Cipher earlier in the week. Also, UM,
Speaker 1: we're talking about how beast mode Marshawn Lynch, who signed
Speaker 1: with the Raiders to be their lead back again with
Speaker 1: John Gruden. There was some you know, up and down
Speaker 1: about that would that happen or not? And he took
Speaker 1: a pay cut And big shout out to my man
Speaker 1: Candy Man on Twitter at candy Man. Okay, he was
Speaker 1: um representing one of my thesis is from fantasy football.
Speaker 1: He talked about the Raiders new offense. Okay, I'm talking
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. They signed Jordy Nelson, they might get Eric Decker,
Speaker 1: Doug Martin, the Muscle hamp So they brought in um
Speaker 1: Jared Cook and he described them as a fantasy herd.
Speaker 1: And that's something I talked about when we talk about
Speaker 1: fantasy football, how those teams that are prolific offensively are
Speaker 1: not necessarily as good for fantasy purposes. Give me DeAndre
Speaker 1: Hopkins where I know he's the tried and true number
Speaker 1: one guy and it's gonna get that production right. But
Speaker 1: when I look at the New York New England Patriots,
Speaker 1: I don't know on a week to week basis, which
Speaker 1: running back is gonna pop off. If you look at
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions, I don't know on a week to
Speaker 1: week basis. Will it be Golden Tape, Will it be
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones, Will it be Kenny Golladay? I don't know.
Speaker 1: So those teams that have the fantasy heard the charges
Speaker 1: are another one not good at fantasy, and the Raiders
Speaker 1: maybe a fantasy herd. So big shout out to the
Speaker 1: candy Man using my terminology of the fantasy heard out
Speaker 1: there with my bff Mike Florio as well. Big shout
Speaker 1: out to the stats over beat Cipher Homegirl Jilly Dilley
Speaker 1: out there as well. But um, here's what we're gonna do, Danny.
Speaker 1: You know how we break down the rapping athletes, right,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna break down another rapping athlete. Today's rapping
Speaker 1: athlete is the Black Unicorn, Martellis Bennett. Martellis Bennett announced
Speaker 1: his retire Ironman from the NFL. Been on a number
Speaker 1: of teams, Dallas, the Giants, Green Bay, New England, Big
Speaker 1: shout out to the Black Unicorn. The Black Unicorn out
Speaker 1: on SoundCloud put out something called I'm not a rapper,
Speaker 1: but some of my friends are. And he's got a
Speaker 1: track that we're gonna share with you guys today. It
Speaker 1: is called take a Flight and it is featuring Snoop Dogg. Alright,

Speaker 1: an analyst, analyze, Telepoli, Pantamon, more works, no dirt. You
Speaker 1: could say of fantatize, got the bitchest fantasize. Alright, let's
Speaker 1: wrap that up a little bit, Danny, So check that out.
Speaker 1: That was Martella's Bennett take a Flight featuring Snoop. I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, Danny, right off the top. If you're
Speaker 1: big time enough to get Snoop as you're like cameo
Speaker 1: appearance and singing the hook, it ain't bad, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. What do you think about Martella's Bennet
Speaker 1: his verse? What do you think, Danny? I didn't think
Speaker 1: that was bad at all. Actually, it sounds like like
Speaker 1: a summer Yeah. I like that. It sounds like more
Speaker 1: summertime wrap more West Coast rap. Yeah, definite to me,
Speaker 1: rather than that lazy southern trap house nonsense. So, but
Speaker 1: the thing is he had snoop with him, so like check,
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool, right. I think he has a
Speaker 1: little bit of a less season flow, but it was
Speaker 1: cool and it gave me like a cookout vibe, right, Danny, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can see that all right, so we gotta put
Speaker 1: it in our I think I don't think he goes
Speaker 1: above my man Marvin Bagley because he was bringing that
Speaker 1: relevant you know, conscious woke nonsense, right, So, but he's
Speaker 1: kind of in the middle, right, I thought it was
Speaker 1: pretty good. Listen, if you guys have ideas of other
Speaker 1: rapping athletes that we need to critique, holler at your
Speaker 1: boys spitting speeds on Twitter, and we'll get him down
