Listen, if 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.360 you're part of the stats over Beat Cipher, if you 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.760 listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know how we talk 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.600 all the time about d k MS and how they 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.520 helped the fight against blood cancer. Well, we are stepping 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.040 it up here on Fantasy Freestyle. We are going to 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.160 have someone who did in fact save a real life 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.639 right here on the Fantasy Freestyle, live and direct from DKMS. 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.760 We're gonna talk about, you know, how it was to 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.760 actually go through that process. We're gonna get into that 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:16.320 a little bit later. I'm ne we're gonna talk to 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.280 him a little bit about fantasy baseball as well. Listen, 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.600 the draft is under two weeks away, so we are 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.640 going to go right back into some of the high 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.960 profile quarterbacks. Okay, I've been saying this for the last month, 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.760 month and a half. I think the narrative on Josh 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.640 Allen and the narrative on Lamar Jackson is completely screwed up. 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.520 I'm gonna tell you more reasons to back up that case. 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.320 I'm gonna tell you which quarterback I think is locked 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.960 and loaded to be the best of this class. We'll 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.440 get into that a little bit later on. And then, 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.760 like I said, we put the fun and functional sports content. 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.800 As always, we are going to continue to break down 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.600 our rapping athletes. We've got an hysterical one my man 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.400 Danny Otto down there, and I agree this may be 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.560 one of the funniest ones yet. We'll get into that 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.919 end um. Some of you may know, if you check 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.240 me out on Twitter or whatever. I was celebrating a 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.240 little bit, uh this week and uh the stats overbeat 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.120 Cipher really came to my aid and as uh, you know, 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.200 big shout outs to them. I want to honor them. 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:18.919 We're gonna have a little bit of fun with that 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:20.800 a little bit later on in the show as well. 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.200 As always, we also have a trivia or a poll 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.799 question up on Twitter. You can follow me at spit 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.680 and Speed The question I have for you is, with 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.440 the draft coming up, do you want your team to 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.480 uh trade up, trade down, or when they're drafting, go 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.560 for the best player available or go for that position 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.760 of need. Okay, different philosophies out there. Some teams like 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.600 to accumulate pick some some teams looking to cash in 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.000 those chips and go for it right now. Some people 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:47.560 are just looking for the best player on the board, 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.320 and some have very specific needs that they are going 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.440 to fill early in the draft. What do you hope 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.640 your team do? Does We have people voting on that question. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.120 We'll check in with that throughout the show. But what 0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:59.880 I want to start off with is, you know, news 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:01.920 and notes around the NFL since last time I talked 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.200 to you here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.680 Sports Network listen to. Big news is that the Cowboys 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.080 have cut Dez Bryant. Okay, it's saving them eight and 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:13.320 a half million dollars on their cap. A lot of talk, okay, 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.600 a lot a lot of talk coming around this one, 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.000 Dez saying that maybe the Jason Garrett guys kind of 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.000 pushed him out, maybe there was some kind of rift. 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.560 A lot of people now saying your Boys speeds included. 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:27.800 If you listen to the show all football season long, 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.080 I was calling Dez Brian a quadruple a wide receiver. 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.279 He was not an elite number one receiver. Okay, With 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.480 Tony Romo, who would throw it up to him and 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.240 he could try to fight at the point of the catch, 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.039 that was one thing, okay, But in this new offense 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.039 with DAC where he does not take as many risks, 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.640 it was not working out and the Cowboys are gonna 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.120 go save that eight and a half million. He's now 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.680 done a couple of things. One is that he said 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.120 he wants to see the Cowboys twice a year. I 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.760 pad Dez is this kind of vindictive revenge guy. I 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.760 see that he says he wants to play them twice 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.520 a year. Does that mean he's gonna how to join 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:04.240 his man Odell Beckham with the Giants. The Eagles kind 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.760 of have that. You know that that role filled with Alshon. 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.799 Jeffrey doesn't really want to go to our nation's capital. 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.800 Who maybe a few steps away from true title contention, 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.480 But he also checked this out. He followed a bunch 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.840 of Texans on Twitter, so maybe you know he doesn't 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.200 want to stay in the nfcas maybe you want to 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.320 stay in Texas. He followed J. J. Watt, Deshaun Watson, 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.000 Uh the hop Okay, so we'll read between the lines. 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.279 But Dez is out there. He's certainly going to get 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.720 a job very very soon. I do not believe he's 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.000 this number one receiver, but if he wants to fit 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.839 into the slot of some team, it could be very interesting. 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.200 I personally would love to see him with my man 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.840 Jimmy g over there on the West coast, even though 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.039 that doesn't, you know, fit his criteria. Right now, check 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.200 this out. I want to talk about the Lions backfield. Okay, 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.000 they conflicting reports out of there. Remember they signed with 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.400 Garrett Blunt. You got a mirror Abdullah, you have THEO Rittic, 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.360 you even have zz top Zack Center. You have um 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:03.520 guys like Washington as well, and at first Patricia and JBC, 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.120 my man Jim Bob Gooder. So that day we're just 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.480 gonna go running back by committee and ride the hot hand. 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.240 But now it looks like a Merabdulah maybe on the block. 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.479 He may be the guy without a chair when the 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.480 music stops. Keep an eye on the Lions backfield, because 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.800 if they shake free, Abdullah could be another guy in 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:23.240 this mix. Moving addresses, the Saints and Cam Meredith have 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.360 agreed to a two year, nine and a half million 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.080 dollar deal. Remember Cam Meredith coming off that a c 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.080 L injury last year. He now goes to the Saints again, 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.080 same kind of thing like des Bryant, not as dramatic, 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.599 of course, but he is stepping down in roll maybe 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.080 for a different team. Meredith was the number one that 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.440 one year he had to breakout with the Bears. Now 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.880 he wouldn't be with Allen, Robinson and Burton and all 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.000 the other weapons that they've acquired. So he goes to 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.680 a team where he is, you know, a cog a piece. Okay, 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.760 but with the Saints. Remember fantasy heard. You know what 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.200 your boy Speed says about the fantasy heard great and 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.800 real football not so much for fantasy production. I think 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.600 Meredith takes a big back down. Okay, going to a 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.200 team that obviously has Michael Thomas, obviously has camaraon Ingram 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.760 out of the backfield. Um, you know you also have 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.440 guys like Ted gin jr. Uh even Snead, although I 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.640 think Snead maybe on the move. So it is a 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:18.040 downgrade from unfortunately for Cam Meredith. Um. I also want 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.520 to talk about some some people that have been cut. Okay, 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.160 the Broncos went ahead and in fact cut c J. Anderson. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.160 Your boys Speeds has been talking about this in the 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.239 short term and in the long term for a while. 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.920 Shout out to my man Pete and Staten Island. If 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:32.480 you're down with the stats over beat s Ifer, you 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.440 remember that Pete was always with me on Davante. Booker 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.400 has the back to own in Denver moving forward, and 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.160 it looks like the path has been cleared for that 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.200 as the Broncos go ahead and cut c J. Anderson. 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.080 A couple of fifty year options have been picked up 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.120 as well Jamison Mariota obviously, but it doesn't look like 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.240 the Giants are gonna pick up Eric Flowers as a 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.920 top ten pick with that price, So keep an eye 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.280 on those things. That's a couple of things as we 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.560 get ready for the draft, we're gonna hear a lot 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.200 of buzz in the next week week and a half. 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:02.880 I also, like I said at the top of the show, 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:07.440 I want to talk about, uh, a couple of these 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.520 guys coming out of the draft, right I want to 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.679 talk specifically about Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. The narrative, 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:15.680 if you haven't heard from me or elsewhere already, is 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:17.880 that Josh Allen. Allen is this you know, coaches kid 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.200 and gets the mental side of the game and has 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:25.480 all the tools you need. But at a completion percentage. 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:31.200 Lamar Jackson, you know, dynamic and athletic, but should turn 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:35.479 into become a wide receiver because he had completion percentage. 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.120 But I saw something on PFF and they go real 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:39.920 deep into these stats and I think they're really relevant, 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.360 and uh, you know what, if it was interesting, check 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.520 this out. They broke down some of their stats on like, 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.760 you know, on deeper you know, deeper kind of slices, 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.600 shall we say, and on what they call after their 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.120 second read. And this is what you have to do 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:54.679 in the NFL, right, you have to look at you 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.840 one guy, then look at the second read and then 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.440 stills be able to make something happen. See, go through 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.120 your progress sans mentally. Here is that kind of thing 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.120 that they didn't think Lamar Jackson could do. Right, check 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.200 this out on reads or your third reader later, Lamar 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:14.240 Jackson was completion percentage. Josh Allen twenty nine. So who's 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:19.240 the one who's actually getting through their progressions better? Huh? Interesting? 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.920 Also check this out. They also have another category of 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:25.760 what they call quote unquote scramble throws. You would obviously 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.880 think that this is where Lamar Jackson's doing it, right, 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.320 he sees the rush and he's ducking out the back door, 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:34.960 or he's using his dynamic athleticism, right, and Josh Allen, 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.800 the prototypical quarterback with the stud arm. Right, I can 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.120 throw it through the barn. You'd be standing in the pocket. Right. No, no, no, 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.520 you know that Josh Allen actually had more scramble throws 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.920 than Lamar Jackson last year. So I think that is 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:57.079 also interesting. But to be quite honest, regardless regardless, um, 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.000 it comes down to Baker Mayfield. When you look at 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:00.840 the PF when you look at the p f F F 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.720 grades of this, everything comes back to Baker Mayfield. Everything 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.560 comes back to Baker Mayfield. His his his completion percentage 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:11.360 over se same thing in quote unquote tight window throws, 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.280 same thing in NFL QBR rating. And this is for 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.280 like three years in a row. This isn't you just 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.760 taking one little sample of what he's got Okay, this 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.479 is consistency. I know he's only six ft or six one, 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.040 and I know that some people think that he's a 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:32.200 little bit too um vocal, too spunky, to feisty. But 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.280 it's very interesting and and Baker is kind of my 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.560 under the weeds guy. He's the guy. You know. I'm 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.480 a Jets fan. They're going up third, right, I've been 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.400 talking about Sam Donald. I don't think he's gonna be there. 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.240 Outside of Sam Donald. I think Baker Mayfield is the 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.120 guy to get. I am not scared by him being 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.320 six one. Read Drew Brees, read Russell Wilson. I like 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.760 his elusiveness. I like his leadership, his moxie, shall we say, 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:56.600 and he is another thing. And I want to know 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:58.439 dany Otto when we check in with you later. I 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.680 don't know if the stats over beat Cipher feels about this. 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:05.240 Um he's keeping Get this, Danny, he is keeping a 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:09.800 revenge list through this draft process. He is keeping a 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.720 list of all of the you know, media types and 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:18.600 sportscasters and analysts who have anything negative to say about him. Okay, 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.160 and any media members that's crossing the line. Check this out. 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.840 And I quote he says it doesn't really bother me 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:27.800 that much because I know the people that say some 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.600 of these things have never actually taken a snap behind center, 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.360 never had three hundred pound lineman about to hit them 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.559 when they have to read the defense downfield. If I 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.320 was worried too much about it, I'd be worried about 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.040 the wrong things. But I do use some of it 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.800 as motivation. I can listen to the people patting me 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.720 on the back, or I can listen to the people 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:46.800 saying I need to get better. I know I need 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.080 to get better, or else they would be nobody saying that. 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.520 So he's all about growth, right, But he's keeping this 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.000 in the back of his mind just so we can 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.720 stick it. I like that kind of size chip on 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.160 my shoulder on my six ft flat quarterback. And I do, 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.400 in fact think slash hope that the jet as Jets 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:07.120 Jets Jets are going to go this way. Um in 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.240 about a week and a half, I think Baker Mayfield 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.120 winds up being three. I was talking to my boy 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.360 Mikey Florio down there in the fantasy pit of misery. 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.600 We think it is going to go number one, uh 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:22.480 Sam Donald to Cleveland, number two, uh se Kwan Barkley 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.320 to the Giants and number three. I think the Jets 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.720 are gonna take this look at Baker Mayfield um as 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.600 their quarterback and throw him in the mix with Teddy 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:35.160 Bridgewater under the tutelage of McCown for about one year 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.120 and and let Bridgewater and Bakman Mayfield fight it out 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.720 and see who is the era apparent to uh, you know, 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.280 this is Jets franchise and being the and being the 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.840 you know, face of the franchise, shall we say? So, 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.720 I think this is very interesting. But check this out. Um. 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.880 You know who Baker is definitely going to add to 0:12:55.160 --> 0:13:00.000 his revenge list is Ryan Leaf. Ryan Leaf is out 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:04.920 and talking about Baker Mayfield. Okay. He said that, um, 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:08.080 he listens to the interviews with some of these uh, 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:09.840 some of these first round picks and some of these 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.600 quarterbacks that are on the tour and on the on 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.960 the you know, on the on the circuit, shall we say, 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.120 And he says, if any of these quarterbacks sound like 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.280 I did, then I know it is a red flag. 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.400 And he says that Baker Mayfield actually does sound like 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.720 he did. Okay. And he's saying that he sort of 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.600 thinks that he has still has a lot of maturing 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.040 to do in an NFL locker room, going up and 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.640 talking and leading men, shall we say. And it's interesting 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.040 I saw Ryan Leave do a little bit of media 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.240 tour this week, you know, and that conflicts with what 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.200 a lot of people are saying. You hear Mick Shay 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.240 out there saying that leadership is actually one of Baker 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:47.199 Mayfield's best qualities, right. You hear that the football coaches 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:51.920 that interview Baker Mayfield absolutely love him. Well, the GMS 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.000 love him. I think that is the more interesting case. Well, 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.960 the GMS actually also want to stake their claim and 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.080 risk their job on, you know, taking their shot on 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.839 Baker Mayfield. But I do love the fact that he's 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.679 keeping this revenge list. I do love the fact by 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:10.000 a lot of these more detailed PFF grades, it looks 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.199 like Baker Mayfield rates out better than Donald, better than Rosen, 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:17.040 better than Alan, better than Lamar Jackson. But when it 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.240 comes to Jackson and it comes to Alan, remember Lamar 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.600 Jackson is actually making more reads and it's actually scrambling 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:28.080 less than a guy like Josh Allen. So that's some 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:29.400 of the stuff I wanted to talk to you guys 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.280 about when it comes to football. And right now, remember 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.240 we got that pole question up. I'm asking you guys 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.480 for your team, Um, coming up in the NFL draft, 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.480 you want your team to trade up or trade down? 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.160 Do you want your team to draft the best player 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.120 or maybe go over the position of need. We got 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.040 that pole question up right now. Thirty nine percent of 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.480 you say take the best player. Shout out to of 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.000 course Clayton trey Han who says I'd prefer Baker Mayfield. 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.160 But don't see him dropp into the Pats tying it 0:14:56.200 --> 0:15:00.000 all together? How we do in fact like Baker Mayfield? Right? Um? 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.920 And and and that's interesting. The Pats have now talking a lot. 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.440 There's some some report out on ESPN that Brady hasn't 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.200 committed to playing this year and the world is all 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:09.800 a buzz I thought he was gonna play until he was, 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.520 you know, sixty five years old? Or is there really 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.640 drama in New England? Is at the fall of Rome, 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.880 like your boy Speeds has been talking about, right, And 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.760 there's talking now. You know, obviously they lost uh Brissette, 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.680 they lost Garoppolo. Who is this heir apparent? Right? So 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.040 will they use some of their draft capital and trade 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.720 up to get a guy like Baker Mayfield. The reports 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.080 out there that they're interested in a guy like Josh Rosen, 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.160 and Rosen is sort of the quarterback that is falling 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.400 in the last week in this process. Okay, so maybe 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.200 they can combine some of their assets, hop up a 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:42.840 little bit, and go on and get a guy like 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.760 Josh Rosen. It's interesting. Um Andy m says, where's the 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.280 option for quote, give a damn about my city and 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.080 fan base who love you. I think that's called um 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.760 trading up maybe right, because that demonstrates that you care. 0:15:55.960 --> 0:16:00.240 And also, my boy Michael perez Uh says, just checking 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.600 in on the cipher holding down speeds. I'm interested in 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:06.120 who my giants are gonna draft. Hashtags, stats over beats. 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.480 I'm telling you right now, the Giants I believe are 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.960 gonna go ahead and draft se Kwon Barkley. It looks 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.080 like it's inevitable. There's a lot of reports here in 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.440 New York that it is inevitable. If I were to 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:21.240 Cleveland Browns, though, I would usurp them. I take Barkley one, 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.920 and then at four, I take whichever quarterback. False. To me, 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:25.560 it sounds like a lot of people think that these 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.960 guys are not franchise altering dudes just yet. So why 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.040 not play the Jets role and see whichever one comes 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:35.320 to you, but lock in a guy who may be transformational, 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.120 and that is say Kwan Barkley. Okay, big shout out 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.080 to everybody checking in on the cipher, everybody checking in 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:42.960 at spitting speeds. The last thing I want to talk 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:46.040 about football. Listen, Regardless of what team these guys end 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.080 up on, it used to be that if you were 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:51.040 playing Thursday Night Football that you might have been towards 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.200 the end of the season in those color Rush jerseys. 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:58.000 And those are now going away for Thursday night Football. Remember, 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.680 Thursday Night Football is gonna be on Fox. This sheer 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:02.520 they've got, I believe, all the games. It's not that 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.160 split thing when NFL Network or Twitter or anything like that. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.240 And with this um, they're now saying that the color 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.960 Rush jerseys are now not exclusive to Thursday Night Football 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.280 and will be seen sporadically on Sundays, but will not 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.440 be on Thursday Night Football much anymore. And these have 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.280 been a hot topic ever since two thousand fifteen when 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.679 they introduced them. If you remember and boy do. I 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.399 remember shout out to my man smiles pe out there 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:30.560 from Chronicle, who is legit red green color blind?

But we will not be in 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:04.080 these color Rush jerseys much anymore. But and they won't 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:08.359 be on UM only Thursday night football. They'll be all around. 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:10.760 Check it out. Here's we're gonna do.
