Also, 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.039 I don't know if you've seen, but they've been promoting 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:39.400 this everywhere.

Apparently we're raising awareness and raising 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:46.119 money for impoverished children to be able to, you know, um, 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.160 get access to the support, the education, and the development 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.520 that they need along the opportunities they may need. So 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.200 we're gonna talk a little bit about something that's going 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.760 on on NBC for uh Happy Red Nose Day. It's 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.200 a little uh Ninja Warrior. We're gonna be talking talking 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.960 about who on this Fantasy Sports Radio network team might 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.639 be the best Ninja Warriors out there. And as usual 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:08.960 with my boy Donnie Burns, the Love Doctor and my 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.839 basketball correspondent, we're gonna be talking a little bit about 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:15.240 the NBA playoffs.

Our poll question tonight, though, is 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.880 which legacy would be more solidified with victory in this 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:47.120 well anticipated rubber match in trilogy between the Cavaliers and 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:48.960 the Warriors. Would it be the Warriors as a team 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.720 or to be Lebron as the greatest player of all time. 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.560 We'll come back and talk about all that and more 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.519 here on the Fantasy Freestyle, which your boy, Dame Martinez 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:01.640 speeds the Spitting Statistician on the award winning Fantasy Sports 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:20.480 Radio Network. Come on back after this, Welcome back to 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:24.080 the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.560 and of course to all our Sports Byline American Forces 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.960 Radio Network listeners as well. His ship boy, Dame Martinez 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.000 Speeds the Spitting statistician holding you down so hot that 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.240 we sweat steam blowing up like chippot late ten minutes later, 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.240 here's we gotta do. I gotta get into my starting 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.960 lineup right now. There's only five games tonight on this slate, 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:42.880 and there is some weather involved, so we need to 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.520 get into it. Weather in Boston and potentially weather in 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.120 New York at City Field. Although they have started that 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.120 game on time, I still, as usual, have some news 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.200 and notes around Major League Baseball to get with you guys. 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.839 Third baseman for the San Francisco Giants, edwardo Noon yet 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.360 a guy I was high on in the preseasons, having 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.080 a decent year. However, he was scratch from today's effort 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:06.880 um hamstring injury for him. In today's day game with 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.480 the Cubs, he did not make it happen. Many Marco 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.560 also left yesterday's game against the Mets. He has a 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.960 little calf injury, so keep an eye on that one. 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.600 Dusty Baker confirms that it will be Coldea Glover moving 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.279 forward as the Nationals closer. Listen, this is the third 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.640 different guy between try and I think Sean, Kelly and 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.960 Glover as well have all been uh spending some time 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.440 as the closer for the Washington Nationals. If you want 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:33.279 to know the truth, remember the Washington Nationals are my pick. Speeds, 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.200 the spitting statistician, my pit to win the World Series 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.400 this year. I have been picking since the beginning of 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.960 the season. I have the Washington Nationals over the Houston 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.680 Astros as my World Series, so you know I'm riding 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.719 with him. Here's my question for the Washington Nationals. Why 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.400 are they messing around with the back end of their bullpen. 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.440 It has been long rumored that they should go after 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:57.400 White Sox closer David Robertson, former Yankee closer as well. 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.200 I think this is kind of like the worst kept 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.680 secret that's been happening over the last year or so 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.640 in Major League Baseball. Watch sometime this summer the Nationals 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.560 are going to make a move to get a what 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.960 is like a quote unquote legitimate professional closer. Watch. I 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:15.160 think it could be David Robertson In other news, Jamison 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.080 ty one through thirty five pitches in a bullpen session. 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:22.240 He is ahead of schedule in his rehab. Remember he 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.920 had surgery for suspected testicular cancer. Um, they're saying he's 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:27.560 a head of schedule, but obviously to have any kind 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.919 of timetable on a return like this would be insensitive. 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.320 We're just wishing Jamison Tayone well and hope that he 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.920 eventually can get back to doing what it is he loves. 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.680 Also important to note, David Price will come off the 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.200 disabled lists and start for the Boston Red Sox on 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.520 Memorial Day in Chicago. He has had an elbow injury 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.599 for most of the season coming back from that, David Price, 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:48.880 So if you had him in season long teams, you're 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.000 excited to maybe get him off the d L. One 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:52.600 more stat I want to give you from my man 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.200 Maddie Moe, who you can hear early, you know, early 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.200 in mornings on the on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.240 You also hear him sometimes with my man Joey Pizzapilla 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.600 on the Fantasy Black Book. My Man Maddiemo had a 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.520 great stat about Jeff so Marja today saying, so Marja 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.360 in May so far entering today, in his thirty two 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:14.200 and two thirds innings, had forty walks and forty strikeouts 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:18.640 and zero walks in over thirty two innings. Incredible strikeout 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.120 to walk ratio for Jeff so Marja. He did, however, 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:22.960 get the loss today to fall to one in six, 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.120 but kept it up man eight strikeouts on only one walk, 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.640 moving at that rate to forty eight kays and one 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.240 walk in the month of May. Big shout out to 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.839 the strikeout rates right there, of Jeff. So, Marja, what 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.479 I also want to do, as we always do on 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.880 the Fantasy Freestyle, as I hold myself accountable, and I'll 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.760 let you know what would have happened with the guys 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.000 that I was telling you about yesterday. And first of all, 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.760 so yesterday I told you to that while Chris All 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:51.160 was the man I was thinking about trying to beat him. Right, 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.360 Chris Sale at eleven thousand, eight hundred against the Texas Rangers. 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.279 He had a great start, okay seven and a third 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.559 innings pitch gave up three runs though, and only struck 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.919 out six. Remember you were paying up Chris Sale because 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.479 he had that streak of ten and more strikeouts in 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.480 a game for like his last eight starts, and he 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.000 did get a quality start, he did get a win. 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.440 But I suggested three guys that could potentially beat Chris Sale. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.280 All three of them put up more fan Buel Fantasy 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.280 points then Chris Sale. I gave you three options, and 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.840 all three of them were better. The first I gave 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.560 you was my man for the New York Yankees, Louis Severino. 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.600 I told you I was fading that bad Kansas City offense, 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.800 and the Yankees were at home where they were fourteen 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.600 and seven on the season. They would not lose. Severino 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.240 went out and pitched eight scoreless innings and struck out seven. 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.120 Got a quality start, and they win for the New 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.800 York Yankees, better than the Sale effort. I also told 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.440 you in that Dodgers Cardinals games of going back and 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.760 forth on which starter would go, and I said not 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:46.680 to go with Richell. I said to go with Mike Leak. 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.640 He was at eight six hundred. Last night, Mike Leak 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.680 another quality start, making it nine for nine this season. 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.040 He went eight innings, giving up only one run and 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.440 striking out five more points than Chris Sale. I also 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:00.640 told you that with the wind blowing in Wrigley, to 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.080 consider Kyle Hendricks. Kyle Hendricks when seven innings, gave up 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.000 two runs less than Chris Sale and struck out the five, 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.640 got the quality start and the win. That's what we 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.360 do here on the Fantasy Freestyle. You need to pay 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.520 attention because speeds, the spitting statistician is giving you what 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.920 you need to win their cash. So you might ask 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.920 yourself self, who does speeds like tonight? Well, tonight is 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.440 very very interesting. Okay, there was only five games out there, 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.040 and there was a big move today made. Remember Jacob 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.680 deGrom was scratched from his start. They have Raphael Montero 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.199 in there as um instead was the highest pitcher on 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.800 the board during the day. And I think there's guys 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.520 you could be I think you could beat the top guys. 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.000 Obviously to Gram is not that anymore. Verlando was the 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.760 most high, the highest expensive picture on the slate. But 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.040 I don't like him at Houston. That Houston Astro's offense 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.440 is no joke. I don't know why you would pay 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.920 up for anybody at Houston. I wouldn't do it. Here's 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.080 where I'm going. Instead, there are two guys that I 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.520 like tonight. First this Robbie Ray at Milwaukee for nine 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:05.800 two hundred. Robbie Ray has been my guy all season long. 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.000 I've been telling you he have the two hundred and 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.559 eighteen strikeouts last year. He is putting it together. And 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:16.320 remember he's against the Milwaukee Brewers. Okay, now that ballpark, 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.560 the ball flies out of that ballpark, and I'll give 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.079 you that, and I'll give you that. The Milwaukee Brewers 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.640 are one of the leading teams in the National League 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.880 in terms of scoring runs. But the Milwaukee Brewers strike 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.240 out a lot. You add that with Robbie rays k upside, 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.640 and I like what you get in what if is 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.959 a slate that only has four or five games going tonight. 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.000 The other guy, I'll give you out in that last 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:38.959 game where there is no weather concerns. Out in l 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:43.160 A is Michael Wauka at eighties seven hundred at l A. 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.000 Waka has gone for a quality starts six of his 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.960 seven outings this year. The only issue is will he 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.560 go long enough. He goes like six innings every time, 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.160 six inning, six inning, six point one inning, six inning, 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.680 seven innings, six point two innings, that's what he does. 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.240 But he gets you basically a k peradning. Okay, forty 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:04.040 two winnings pitched so far, thirty nine strikeouts. And don't 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:08.000 look now, but the Dodgers offense has been cold lately. 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.120 They only got um two runs in the game that 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.480 went thirteen innings yesterday. They could not do anything against 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.160 Mike Leak yesterday as I predicted. I think they're in 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.280 a little bit of a funk. Jack Peterston still not back, 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.640 I don't think for that collision he had with Ya 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.160 c l ple. Remember they're facing Kent to my eight 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.760 to tonight in a return from the disabled list. I 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:31.760 like Michael Waka as well at eighty seven hundred. He's 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:33.080 what I want to do, though, to keep it moving 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.319 here on the fantasy freestyle where you win your leagues 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.800 and win that cash. I've been talking about this launch 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.000 angle and exit velocity and how many times people are 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.920 trying to get the ball explicitly in the air, improved 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.160 their fly ball rate, which leads to the homers and 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.800 the three true outcomes. Well, not so fast, Joey Vado, 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.439 you know on base percentage King over the last I 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.080 would say five years in Major League Baseball and actually 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.360 came out and said some things that are kind of 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.400 contrary to at he says. I see it with a 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.360 lot of guys. Everyone tells the good stories about fly balls, 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.560 but there's a lot of stereotypes out of there of 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.920 people wasting their time trying things. Um and he said 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.360 that this kind of what he calls quote unquote elevate 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:18.920 to celebrate mindset is not necessarily a silver bullet for everybody. 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.440 And you know what, five thirty eight came out with 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.720 something proving that he may be right. They had a 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.880 nice graph in there showing a visual of how how 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.800 people are changing their fly ball rates and if they 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.600 have that up against the change in wOBA. For you, okay, 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:37.000 and obviously your guys like Yonda Alonso you're hearing about, 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.880 you're hearing a guy about guys like Daniel Murphy, You're 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.880 hearing about guys like Jay Bruce, who have all increased 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.440 their fly ball rate and have also increased their wOBA. Right, 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.560 But that is not always the case. And this article 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:54.160 cites eight siting guys like Kiki Hernandez, citing guys like 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.960 Jason Hayward who have in fact increased their fly ball rate, 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.840 but not with the same success of guys that we 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.000 have said that. The Cubs have a new model, they say, 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.240 and it's called there's no slugging percentage on the ground. 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:06.840 They are all trying to get it in the air 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.760 and it's working with guys like shober right, it's working 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.240 with guys like It's overst right, but it's not working 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.520 with guys like Jason Heyward so. And the other thing 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:18.199 that's interesting as there has been a ripple effect kind 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:19.760 of because everybodys trying to get it up in the air. 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.319 There's a ripple effect in infield pop ups. And if 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.280 you think about it, infield pop ups are the least 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.839 productive out possible along with strikeouts, and when everyone's trying 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:30.640 to jack it up, you're also getting an influx of 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.440 infield pop ups. And that's another thing Joey Vado brought up, 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.560 so something to consider. I've been high on this launch 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.760 angle and three true outcomes and that's the way it's going. 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.160 But there are side effects as well on the negative side. 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.959 So I think that is important to consider when we 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.440 come back here on the Fantasy freestyp and talk to 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.800 the Love Doctor about the NBA playoffs. And I'm also 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.240 talking about big news in the world of sports gambling. 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.160 It may become legal everywhere for you to start to 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.480 bet that money and win that cash. All the more 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.520 reason you'd have to listen to Fantasy Freestyle, all right, 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.880 So come on back, we'll have fun. We'll keep on 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.480 talking about it. It'sh your boy Speeds the Spitting Statistician, 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.640 and you're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here on 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:22.480 the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

I want to give 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.800 you an update right now. Like I told you, I 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.480 was a little bit worried about this game in Fenway 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.440 Park Rangers and Red Sox, and it has been delayed 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.320 the start. Okay, Benny Richardi and Tony Sencada, we're talking 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.520 to you guys. Both of them had drooped Amarants in 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.880 their lineup tonight. I was not as high on that, 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.720 and I was worried about the weather. It's important to note, 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:49.440 so I wanted to keep you guys updated on that. 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.200 And also I told you that Raphael Montero was in 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:57.480 for Jacob deGrom for the Mets against the Padres, and uh, 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.600 Montero has not had a good start. He's already allowed 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.400 one run in the top of the first and the 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:06.200 Padres have bases loaded looking to get to Montero early 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.280 in that one. But when it comes to baseball one 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.640 thing we need to do is uh, you know, tell 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.360 you where to go to when that cash.

Okay, um, he 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:01.880 would go into the cipher. I want to go into 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:03.520 the NFL real quick because you know here on the 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.960 fantasy freestyle. We always talk about the King the NFL. 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.560 I actually think the NFL could you know, occupy some 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.400 small countries, both as a military force and as an 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.760 economic force, to be quite honest with its poll that 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.560 it has on us here in this country. But news 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.560 and notes around the NFL, Victor Cruz has signed a 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.520 deal with the Chicago Bears to be a wide receiver. 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.640 Remember you only get really got Kevin White and other 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:31.120 youngsters out there, Cameron Meredith with the departure of al 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.160 Sean Jeffrey, So Victor Cruz is gonna come in there 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.800 and bring a veteran presence to that Bears locker room. 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:40.800 The Vikings are impressed with la Kwan Treadwell's progress. Remember 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.200 I've been telling you guys, We're gonna keep on hearing 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.360 about these greatest shape of his life. Oh he looks 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.200 so good. And second year wide receiver Lakwan Treadwell is 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.920 getting that same treatment. Remember he had only one catch 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.320 last year in his rookie season. Don't look now, but 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:56.880 this Minnesota wide receiving corps could take a step forward. 0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:01.200 Remember you have my man, Stephen Ken you who digs it. 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.840 Remember last week or a couple of weeks ago, Michael 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.880 Floyd signed with the Vikings as well. And if Treadwell 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.160 can take a step to be a slot guy, a 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.040 third guy for them with a guy like Sam Bradford 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:16.400 coming off a seventy completion percentage season. And remember they 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:20.320 signed Latavious Murray as well. That d That defense has 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:23.040 been sick with Mike Zimmer at the helm, whearing his 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.440 eye patches and all. And I am high on cornerback 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:29.320 Xavier Bumpy Roads. They just need to hope their offensive 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.000 line gets much better. And another, uh, you know he 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:36.960 looks great. Story Ron rivera Riverboat. Ron the Gambler says 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.040 that Kelvin Benjamin criticism of him is unfair and I'm 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.000 eager to see what the Carolina Panthers offense looks like 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.680 this season coming up. Remember you got big outside targets 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.560 like Calvin Benjamin and Devin Funchius. But the problem is 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.960 these guys are slow, They're not athletics. So what did 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.200 they do in the draft. They went in out and 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:59.400 got Christian McCaffrey and Curtis Samuel as playmakers and you know, 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.960 dynamic weapons for that offense. And I think it's gonna 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:07.240 be very interesting because of the position flexibility they both offer. Okay, 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.719 this is what it's about now in the NFL, creating mismatches. 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.000 You see how quarterbacks you know, calling different plays at 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.280 the line. With Christian McCaffrey, you can line them up 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.399 as a wide receiver, you can line them up in 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.760 the backfield. You are making mismatches. Okay, if you line 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:22.560 them up and have you know, a safety try to 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.840 cover them, it's not going to work. And then or 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.640 if the defense goes into nickel or dime coverage, then 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.760 you bring McCaffrey right back into the backfield and you 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:33.080 can hand him the ball. And then the Panthers went 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:37.160 and doubled down on this strategy by getting Curtis Samuel, 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.040 who can also do all of those things. They have 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:44.560 such position and scheme flexibility. Very impressed and excited to 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:48.119 see what the Carolina Panthers can be remembering their bounce 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.600 back year after their Super Bowl hangover. Don't look now, 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.560 but the Carolina Panthers, as long as you know the 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.680 guy on defense, lu quickly can stay out of the cold, dark, 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:02.200 quiet room. Wide receiver Josh Dockson for the Washington football team. 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:05.120 He's been impressive greatest shape of his life. I'd still 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:08.880 bet Jamison Crowder leads the team in receiving their same thing. 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.720 In Baltimore, Brochard Perriman, the wide receiver, they're saying nobody 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.479 is making more plays than him. This is a UH 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:18.360 I think now a third year player who has been disappointing. 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:20.159 This is the time of year when we're trying to 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.560 hype people up. And so also quick notes that there's 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:25.440 the two guys that I do think are viable and 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:29.439 fantasy that are practicing with no restrictions or participating in 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:31.560 O T A S coming off big time injuries. Because 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.879 first Tennessee Titan quarterback Marcus Mariotta, coming back from a 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.959 broken leg is participating in O T A S. And 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.360 Danny Woodhead, who moved from the Charges to the Baltimore 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.199 Ravens this season. Remember he's coming back from an A 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.040 c L injury. He's practicing with no restrictions in O 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.879 T S and he feels great. Like we said, of 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.600 course they feel great. It is mayor June. We'll see 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.240 how they feel when we get closer to UH, you know, 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.480 real training camp in preseason and ultimately the greatest thing 0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.480 in the world football season. But as we keep it 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.359 moving because we are into the NBA playoffs, so it's 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:06.680 time to bring in my man, Donnie Burns, The Love Doctor. 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.240 Listen Game five tonight in Boston. I would I was 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.760 immediately reminded of at this point it must have been 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.639 what nine ten years ago Lebron in Boston putting up 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.000 kind of like his worst effort ever, you know, and 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.400 like what was his last game, his first go around 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.400 with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But you know, maybe Delonte West 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:27.960 had something to do with that. You gotta figure Lebron 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:31.400 and the Calves ended tonight because they try, they try 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:33.600 to get that rest to rest up for the Golden 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.720 State Warriors, Kyrie Irving's ankle and others to heal up 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.040 for the Battle of the Titans, which won't start until 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.080 a week from tonight. The NBA Finals don't start, regardless 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.720 of how long the Eastern Conference Finals go, will not 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:49.200 start until a week from tonight, Thursday, June one. Donnie Burns, 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.480 you think they get it done and ended tonight, Yeah, 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.119 I'd say, you know, they're trying to get ready for 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.240 his NBA Finals, and you know, you know it's gonna 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.480 be the Warriors and the Calves. The only thing is 0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:59.280 I said this the other day, I'm looking to see 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:02.600 how Kyrie performs because it's gonna be a huge mismatch 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.320 against the Warriors. You know, they're gonna have to slide 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:08.399 Clay over steps, gonna have to guard j R. Smith 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:10.679
