I got my boy 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.240 Donnie Burns with me on a one and twoes today, uh, 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.640 helping us blow up like a Samsung seven. Let me 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.440 give you some news and notes from around the league. 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.240 In baseball, First of all, you guys need to know 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.280 Mookie Bets as the flu. He's only tentative for the 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.840 Red Sox game tomorrow. To keep an eye on that 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:01.560 as it moves forward. It looks like the flu is 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.880 going through that Red Sox locker room. Garrett Richards was 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.840 removed from yesterday's start with a bicet cramp. He's not 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.680 even gonna have to have an m r I. But 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.320 this does sound alarm bells to me personally, because, as 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.800 you know, Garret Richards is returning from that you know 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.200 that elbow injury that kept him out of most of 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:23.000 last year. Texas Rangers manager Jeff Bannister sells Sam Dyson 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.160 is still his closer, even though he gave up eight 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:30.080 runs in two appearances so far on the young season. Remember, 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.760 early on in the season is when you can, you know, 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.640 play that closer carousel. These jobs are fluid, So maybe 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.240 keep eye on Matt Bush. I think he might be 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.920 next in line for the Texas Rangers if Dyson does 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.920 continue to falter. Even know the manager Jeff Bannister says 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.159 that it is still Sam Dyson's job for now. A 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.520 couple of other teams with what I would call fluid 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.719 closer situations go out to Oakland, where the Athletics manager 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.000 Bob Melton has said as much that the closer situation 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.360 is fluid. Keep an eye on who what will be. 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.880 It could because it could be Madison, it could be 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.839 Sean Doolittle, It could even be John Axford next in 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:09.200 line to get save chances in Oakland. Um. Also, I 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.599 would keep an eye on the Toronto Blue Jay's job. 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.279 Remember Roberto Rosa is out on the d L. He's 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.120 now throwing off flat ground. I think he's gonna come 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.720 back after the minimum time served, which means time is 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.440 running out for Jason Grilly to impress in his brief 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:27.120 stint at the Closer there in Toronto, Keyan Broxton was 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.320 hit in the face by a pitch today. He has 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.719 a broken nose. However, he is not gonna go on 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.040 the d L but you may want to, you know, 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.400 fade him for the next couple of days um as 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.719 he is dealing with a broken nose. And also news 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.440 and note that you need to know. Ryan Howard has 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.640 signed a minor league deal with the Atlanta Braves. Longtime 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.720 Philadelphia Philly slugger. Gonna give it a go, try and 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:54.960 make the Atlanta Braves. Okay, Now, what we need to 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.400 do here is Speeds is gonna spotlight his starters. This 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.560 is what we're gonna do from day to day because 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.159 if you're about to play this baseball DFS, if you 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.120 are new to DFS, what you need to realize is 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.359 that it's the starters that are going to make or 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:12.000 break your lineup on every on any given night. Last night, 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.040 I gave you three starters that I liked, and you know, 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.480 I like to hold myself accountable here on the fancy 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.520 freestyle your boys Speeds. It's not just throwing out random 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:24.400 stuff and then you know not gonna not gonna admit 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.520 when he was wrong. Okay, I gave you three pictures 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.360 last night. Two out of the three of them went 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.440 real well. I told you to go with Jacob deGrom 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.120 at nineties hundred. I was even he was not the 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:35.719 highest priced option, but I told you that I really 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.000 liked what he was gonna do because he had that 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:41.159 strikeout potential. He went six innings of scoreless ball last night, 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.880 struck out six guys, got you a quality start, and 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:46.880 to be honest, that was the best you could do 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.440 for a lot of the starters last night. Why because 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.599 a lot of games happened to go into extra innings 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.599 last night. But Jacob Degram but a nice little return 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.839 on his value. So I would consider that a nice 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.240 little call by your boys Speeds, the spitting statistician. I 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.120 also told you if you wanted to go all the 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.280 way down and get some value on fan duel, I 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.560 liked that only sixty four hundred dollars you could have 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.160 got Charlie Morton on the Houston Astros. I gave you 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.160 that last night and he delivered. Also, he went six innings, 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.000 he only gave up two runs, struck out four. He 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.240 got to a quality start. Again. He didn't get the 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.800 win because the Astros needed thirteen innings to win their 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.960 game five to three. Those are the two guys that 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.679 I gave you that I think actually worked out pretty well. 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.160 I will tell you this though. My third recommendation was 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.320 trying to give you some value at sixties seven hundred. 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.520 I tried to give you Jarrell Cotton. I thought that 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.720 Cotton was gonna have a decent game against the Los 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.920 Angeles Angels because I like that huge ballpark out there 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.320 in Oakland with all the foul tyrattory. I also thought 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.000 that Angel's lineup was Mike Trout and a lot of 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.520 also rans. Unfortunately, the team of also rans got to 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.400 Darrell Cotton. He only went four and a third. He 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.280 gave up five runs, only striking out four. He was 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.560 settled with the loss, and the Angels did in fact 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.280 win five to nothing. So I was too out at 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.880 three on those starters that I gave you last night. 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.320 Let's look at the starters for this uh for tonight's 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.400 late If you're looking at tonight's late there's only four games. 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.040 There's only four games, so there's only eight starters to 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:15.120 choose from. To me, there's only two that I think 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.920 are worth the price. So there are two that I'm 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.520 gonna tell you that we're gonna keep ourselves accountable to 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:26.240 tonight starters. I'm going with Robbie Ray. Okay, I'm going 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:30.560 with Robbie Ray on Family Will. He's at seventies six hundred. 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.160 And here's why. Out of all these pictures that you 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.400 have the opportunity to grab on tonight's slate and somebody 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.320 might still have the late spot being able to do this, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.240 Robbie Ray is the only one with the k upside. Okay, 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.840 strikeouts are big. You need these strikeout pictures. I'm looking 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.800 for starters that are at home. I'm looking for starters 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.280 that are against you know, nondescript kind of offenses, and 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.319 I'm looking for starters with strikeout potential. And Robbie Ray 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.960 takes a couple of those boxers. He is at home, 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.760 he's up against San Francisco Giants, and uh, you know, 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.600 he's not that great against right E's I would say, 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.640 you know, uh, And bust Posey is in that lineup. 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:12.720 But Robbie Ray put up two hundred and eighteen strikeouts 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.160 last year. You cannot get that kind of strikeout upside 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.640 with any of the other pictures in my opinion on 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.680 tonight's slate. So my number one choice or tonight's late 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:26.280 at seventies six hundred on Van Duel is Robbie Ray 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.840 in his start at home against the San Francisco Giants. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.280 My number two starter for you today. There's also a 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:36.040 kind of middle price option at seventy five hundred on 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.160 Fan Duel, I would go with Marcus Stroman. I think 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:43.280 Marcus Stroman is an option for you, UM on the 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.080 road against the Tampa Bay Rays. Tampa Bay Rays who 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.360 took two out of three from the Yankees. They remain 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:52.480 at home. But here's the thing. I like Stroman as 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:56.240 a groundball pitcher in that ballpark. Um, his groundball ratios 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.480 are out of control. You saw him in the w 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.600 b in the final, throwing um great ball through six 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.880 innings against Puerto Rico in the WBC Final. But Um, 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.600 the only thing that would cause me concern is, you know, 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.880 groundballs on that astroids are down there in Tampa Bay, 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:12.600 one of the only fields that still has turf. And 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:16.680 also his strikeouts are not you know, it doesn't have 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:18.920 the same kind of ceiling as Robbie Ray when it 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.400 comes to Stroman strikeouts. But I still think that he 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:25.040 is is worth it at He's my the only other 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.040 starter that I'm going with on this slate. There are 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.280 three pictures, however, that I'm gonna tell you to fade today, Okay, 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.880 on the slate tonight. The first one is Matt Harvey. Okay, 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.640 Matt Harvey at eight three hundred higher price stops and 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.040 than Stroman Array, who I'm giving you. Let me tell 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.319 you something. I'm here at Rock and Riley's for the 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.080 Fantasy Sports Radio Network, here in Studio thirty four in 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.920 New York City, across the street from Madison Square Garden 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.360 in the shadow of the Empire State Building. And let 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.360 me tell you something. It's nsty out here today. It's 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.079 been raining, it's been pouring. I don't know that this 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.679 game that has gone off as scheduled in City Field 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.520 might have a little bit of a a lay. I 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.640 think weather is a factor. And remember Matt Harvey coming 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.800 back from that thoracic injury was very injury riddled all 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.080 last season. I can see a quick hook because of 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.959 this bad weather, or that he will not make it, 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.440 you know, through the six innings that he needs in 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.160 order to get a quality start. Remember the weather concern 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.960 for me there, So I would fade Matt Harvey today. 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.440 Another guy that I'm fading is down in that Tampa 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.400 Toronto game. At every seven hundred, you can get Blake Snell. 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.080 Let me tell you something, I am not playing against 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.480 that Toronto lineup. I love Donaldson, you gotta love Kendry's morales. 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.440 I like that lineup is a high powered offense, So 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.080 do not give me Blake Snell. The other thing is Snell. 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.160 Snell has control issues, okay, and last year, in his 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:46.480 first year up, he did not necessarily have command. And 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.880 that's a problem. You know, you need to strike out guys. 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.520 I don't want any of those extra um runners on 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.440 base because of the walk. So I am fading Snell. 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.760 I'm fading Harvey. I also, uh, you know, I am 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.120 not gonna pay up all the way at eight hundred 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.000 for Jeff Smart. Your my starters on tonight's slate are 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.719 Stroman and Ray. I gave you Jacob deGrom, I gave 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:08.040 you Charlie Morton yesterday.

Little news for 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.120 your real quick they put the tarp on down and 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.680 watching in DC. That game is being delayed in the 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.599 middle of the six right now, on the top of 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.640 the second, Braves and Mets our scoreless, and in the 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.920 bottom of the first the Blue Jays and the Tampa 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.120 Bay Rays are also scores. They want to switch gears 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:08.839 though a little bit and get into the cipher give 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.960 you news and notes here on the National Football League. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:17.120 First of all, Amazon, Amazon has won the bid to 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:21.840 stream Thursday night Football. They paid fifty million dollars for 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.640 the rights for a ten game package. Just last year 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:26.800 it was Twitter that was streaming Thursday Night Football. They 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:30.080 paid ten million dollars for the same package. Obviously, everyone 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.120 is trying to cut the cord and this is only 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:36.880 going to continue. Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is apparently on 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.120 the trading trade block. G M John Schneider says the 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:43.280 team is willing to listen and has fielded calls on 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:47.200 Richard Sherman. Pete Carroll have also said that Richard Sherman 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.560 went through a lot last year, most of it self inflicted. 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.280 If you remember earlier on in the season, Richard Sherman 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.240 was kind of vocal when once again the Seattle Seahawks 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.080 tried to throw the ball from the one yard line. 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.720 Remember how that worked out in the Super Bowl. I 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.640 think this might happen. I think this might happen. We're 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.440 hearing now that the Patriots may be involved. We're hearing 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.120 that the Eagles may potentially be involved. So keep an 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:11.040 eye out on that. Richard Sherman on the block. Nick 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.520 Mangold visited the Baltimore Ravens today, but he did not 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.360 sign a deal. They are saying though his campus saying 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.960 that he might be okay with a move to guard. 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.160 The New York Football Giants are also in play there, 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:28.640 and Adrian Peterson is set to visit the New Orleans Saints. 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.840 Remember he visited the Patriots. Were also getting reports that 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.200 the Tampa Bay Bucks saying that they are not that 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.360 Peterson and not in their plans. Peterson campus saying three 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.640 to five teams seemed to be interested. It sounds like 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.840 the New Orleans Saints are one of them. Keep you 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.000 going here and speeds his cipher. Remember I told you 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.080 at the top of the show that had a pole 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.720 question up. Does Rob Gronkowski get special treatment from the 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.040 NFL that kind of allows him to like have fun 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.880 and brand himself in a way that other football players 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.760 do not get. I gotta tell you, I think, I 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.960 think absolutely Rob Gronkowski has a double standard. I mean, 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.040 just in the last couple of weeks, my man was 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.800 at the Daytona five hundred act in the Fool. My 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:10.880 man got into WrestleMania and like actually participated in a match. 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.000 My man was at the opening day at Fenway, stealing 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:17.520 Tom Brady's jersey, running around like a crazy man. Don't 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.600 forget my man, the Gronkowski has had a booze cruise 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.600 in essence last year, sponsored by the Gronkowski I like 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:26.640 to call it the S S X the SEE. But 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.960 here's my question. What would happen if some of these 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.560 other players were, you know, basically doing some of the 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.440 some of the antics for lack of a better term, 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.160 that we see with Rob Gronkowski. I don't think it 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.960 would fly in the same way my man, Rob Gronkowski 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.640 had a booze cruise. What do you think would happen 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.360 if Odell Beckham in the off season was like, you 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.520 know what, Yeah, I'm gonna brand myself and have this 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.160 O D B boat, you know, and have a cruise 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.320 just like we did before the playoff game. I don't 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.840 think everyone would be like, oh my god, that's so 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.640 much fun, ha ha ha. Like with Rob Gronkowski, I 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.720 don't think that would be the case. What if Cam 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:06.280 Newton decided to, you know, participate or get asked and 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.359 participate in WrestleMania. I don't think that would be the case. 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.080 It'd be like, Oh, you gotta worry about your health, Cam, 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:15.040 what about the shoulder? Oh what about the hits? Your 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.920 roll taken. No, no, no, but what Rub Gronkowski, Oh 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.640 my god, it's so amazing. Ha ha ha. He's so funny. 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:26.399 What would happen if Lady on Bell was running around 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.440 mocking things that happened with his team. You saw what 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.119 happened a few weeks ago when he uh, you know, 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.200 accepted that invitation to go to the prom that got 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.880 shut down real quick. So I don't think if Rob Gronkowski, 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:42.200 I think he does, in fact enjoy a double standard. 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.119 And think about this like Colin Kaepernick, my man has 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.480 basically been banned from, you know, sign with NFL teams. 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:50.200 I think the collusion going on with the own ones. 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.160 But Rob Gronkowski, no, no, no, it's all good. Check 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:54.679 it out. We gotta pull up there right now on 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.919 that f N T S Y radio Twitter handle. Let 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:58.920 me know what you think. Do you think there is 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.960 a double standard when involving Rob Gronkowski? Speed says yes 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.080 and right now, And I look at that poll sixte 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.080 of you agree with me? If you want to talk 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:10.520 to me about it, you and we got a whole 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:12.479 half hour left to go. Holler at me at eight 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.440 four four eight four three six eight seven nine, keep 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.040 it a going here in the cipher and staying with football. 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:24.679 Marshawn Lynch with the Seattle Seahawks permission, is talking to 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.600 the Oakland Raiders. Now, I think this is a nice 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:31.639 little story, beast mode coming back, unretiring to go home, 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.199 you know, to play with the Oakland Raiders. You know, 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:36.320 he does a lot of work in the community. And 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.840 I think that that's fine, and I think, you know, 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.000 he's actually a kind of a great fit there. Remember 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.679 lettaus Murray last year was part of a three headed 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:49.720 monster Hello Jalen Richard along with DeAndre Washington and and 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.000 Murray was kind of like the between the tackles guy, 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:54.080 the first and second down guy, the goal line back. 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.320 There is no better between the tackles or goal line 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.439 back right now than Marshawn Lynch. He's rested, you know, 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.960 being in his hometown. I like it from a pure 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:09.440 football sense. But my problem is, why would Marshawn Lynch, 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:13.200 who is very conscious of his own brand, okay, very 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:16.320 conscious ever since between the Skittles and I'm just trying 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.000 to not define suff you see him on commercials, why 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:22.960 would he jump in to this public relations nightmare that 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:27.120 is the Oakland Raiders and their eminent move to Las Vegas. Now, 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.280 if you've been listening to Fantasy Freestyle and Your Boys 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:31.280 Speeds the Spitting Stats station here on the Fantasy Sports 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.520 Radio Network, maybe our Sports Byline and our American Forces 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.560 Network listeners are a little new to this, but I've 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:38.800 been talking about this move from the Raiders to Vegas 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.720 and how it has become a lose lose situation for 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:46.280 everybody involved. Okay, the Oakland Alameda County Authority is saying 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:49.439 that they don't even want them necessarily playing two thousand 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:53.560 eighteen and two thousand nineteen before their inevitable move to 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:58.800 Las Vegas in two thousand twenty. Now, it's also horrible 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.240 for the Fins. If you're a Raiders fan, what do 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.639 you do protest against this team that's on the precipice 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:06.399 of actually being good, building a young core with guys 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:09.719 like Marii Cooper, Leo Mac Mr Carr? You know, what 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:11.439 do you do? Do you cheer for this team? Do 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:15.359 you protest this team? Now? I got new news though, 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.560 do you know Raiders actually now still oh the Oakland 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:22.800 colisseum eight hundred thousand dollars in debt from their parking 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:26.160
