Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are
Speaker 1: now about to witness the strength of fantasy knowledge. Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. You are now tunes into the speeds
Speaker 1: and spitting statistician on Fantasy Freestyle. Up next on that side,
Speaker 1: Fer on the microphone. You know that I'm one of
Speaker 1: the best yet Martinez, Yo, yo, Yo, what up dog?
Speaker 1: That's my man, Betty with Johnny. How are you doing,
Speaker 1: my man? I think we're ready and rare to go.
Speaker 1: You know, what it is is what it is, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is what it is. That's right. And of course
Speaker 1: tonight we've got a big contest for the people and
Speaker 1: they can participate by heading over to Twitter at F
Speaker 1: and T s Y radio. As we have our sports
Speaker 1: bracket and the two movies we have is The Mighty Ducks.
Speaker 1: They number five versus The Wrestler, a number twelve seed,
Speaker 1: and right now the Mighty Ducks are vastly ahead, which
Speaker 1: is shocking to me because The Wrestler was a very
Speaker 1: good movie. The Mighty Ducks was a very good movie too, Tony.
Speaker 1: I mean that that was a that was a classic.
Speaker 1: Right now. I mean every time it's on sometimes, I
Speaker 1: you know, can't change the channel from it right here.
Speaker 1: And I gotta be honest, I don't know if a
Speaker 1: lot of people even know what movie The Wrestler is.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it won a bunch of awards,
Speaker 1: but the kind of movies that win awards and the
Speaker 1: kind of movies that actual people watch tend not to
Speaker 1: be the same most of the time. See that, why
Speaker 1: is that? How do they get awards? Like? How does
Speaker 1: all this work? Well? You see what happens is you
Speaker 1: got the you know, hoity toity guys with their noses
Speaker 1: up in the air that you know, wear suits and
Speaker 1: sit there and you know critique things like, you know,
Speaker 1: the lighting and the cinematography and stuff like that. And
Speaker 1: then you have the average guys like us who just
Speaker 1: go and drop ten bucks so we can go to
Speaker 1: see the movie, and we just want to be entertained.
Speaker 1: So you know, for us, any movie that makes us
Speaker 1: laugh for you know, makes us walk out of there
Speaker 1: kind of happy and saying, hey, that's a pretty good movie.
Speaker 1: You know, that's a lot more important to us than
Speaker 1: you know, who wins for you know, best screenplay or
Speaker 1: best use of lighting in a movie that ends in
Speaker 1: the letter Q or something like that that people get
Speaker 1: awards for now, I'll never be get The Chariots of
Speaker 1: Fire was a movie that won Best Costumes, and basically
Speaker 1: these guys were runners, so they had a T shirt
Speaker 1: and shorts on. I mean, what the heck are you
Speaker 1: guys thinking of? Yeah, Well, like I said, the Academy
Speaker 1: does a lot of things that a lot of people
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, kind of frown upon and laugh at,
Speaker 1: and you know, it's tough to explain them. You know,
Speaker 1: my people with will be back right here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy free Style. We'll be rocking it out without our
Speaker 1: sock out, So don't go anywhere. We'll come back and
Speaker 1: we'll talk some movies. It will get you fired up.
Speaker 1: We're in fuego. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo yo. We're
Speaker 1: back in a Fantasy Freestyle where we're hotter than your
Speaker 1: orange pumpkin with two Jack Lantin's in it, and we're
Speaker 1: not gonna stop right here. Yeah, fired up tonight. I
Speaker 1: know I'm enjoying this. It's a it's a different Tony
Speaker 1: than I'm used to. So I gotta tell you. The
Speaker 1: fourth of July is tomorrow, and one of the things
Speaker 1: that makes America great and makes things, uh is you
Speaker 1: remember baseball, hot dogs and apple pie and chevallet. It's
Speaker 1: all about America, right, yeah, those are those are four
Speaker 1: of the things up there. Yeah. So for the longest time,
Speaker 1: we were tuning in at noon every fourth of July
Speaker 1: to this hot dog eating contest. And we had this
Speaker 1: little skinny Japanese guy, Kobe Ashi right nailing all these
Speaker 1: hot dogs and and winning. And then I remember back.
Speaker 1: It reminded me back of like nineteen in the winter
Speaker 1: and we played the Olympics and we didn't like the
Speaker 1: Russians and we hated each other, right, we didn't. They
Speaker 1: hated the Russians back then, instead of joining in elections
Speaker 1: with them like we did today. We hated them back then,
Speaker 1: right and now we uh we we went and we
Speaker 1: won and it was great pride. And everybody remembers Jim
Speaker 1: Craig looking for his dad with his American flag wrapped
Speaker 1: around him, and it was it was it was patriotism.
Speaker 1: And I think we got the same patriots atism now
Speaker 1: on Coney Island, which is in the Statues of Liberty.
Speaker 1: This shadow is right there on Coney Island. And one
Speaker 1: day this young Joey Chestnut, a man that had never
Speaker 1: really good, anything good in life. He couldn't get a
Speaker 1: date for his prom and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: he started nailing down hot dogs like nobody's business. And
Speaker 1: he said, I'm gonna nail down more hot dogs than
Speaker 1: anyone in the world, and I'm gonna defend America's honor
Speaker 1: on the fourth of July, and We're not gonna have
Speaker 1: somebody else come in our country and eat more hot
Speaker 1: dogs than the American And I get this guy a
Speaker 1: lot of credit. I think he's one of the most patriotic,
Speaker 1: uh sports entities in the world. Well, I mean I
Speaker 1: do remember you know, people had the American flags out
Speaker 1: there when him and Kobayashi were going after it, and
Speaker 1: you know, I think they got in a tie and
Speaker 1: he had to that had to go to and eat
Speaker 1: off where you know, they had to, uh they had
Speaker 1: to throw a couple more hot dogs down their throat
Speaker 1: after getting a little bit of a break there for
Speaker 1: a minute. But here, here's some crazy stats here for you, Tony.
Speaker 1: There are three hundred million people, give or take in
Speaker 1: the United States. Guess how many hot dogs are expected
Speaker 1: to be consumed on July four. Three hundred in the
Speaker 1: United States. So is it too much to think that
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna have one hot dog. It is that it
Speaker 1: is a little that's a little high, because there are
Speaker 1: some people who are vegetarians, and there are some people
Speaker 1: who free yeah, you know, who do other things. But
Speaker 1: the number I was actually two d million, two hundred million.
Speaker 1: It's a little less. It's about a hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: million is what's predicted to the now. Remember here too,
Speaker 1: is that not everybody's gonna have one. There are people
Speaker 1: like Joey Chestnut on July four who are gonna eat
Speaker 1: sixty or seventy of them. So really there's only probably
Speaker 1: about a hundred million people having hot dogs on that day.
Speaker 1: But that's pretty good. I mean, we can't even get
Speaker 1: one third of the country to agree on anything. So
Speaker 1: if we can get them all to agree that a
Speaker 1: hot dog is a good thing to eat on July four,
Speaker 1: we're making America great again. There's some progress going on here.
Speaker 1: See I get that. I like that. And you guys,
Speaker 1: well you're thinking about your hot dogs that you can
Speaker 1: have tomorrow. Head over to Twitter at F and T
Speaker 1: s Y Radio and vote for the favorite movie, the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Bucks or The Wrestler and we'll break that down
Speaker 1: a little later in the show. How the voting is going. Now,
Speaker 1: all these hundred million plus people eating these hot dogs
Speaker 1: right now, they do it a little differently in the
Speaker 1: contest because they jammed down really quickly, like you're never
Speaker 1: gonna do that at a cookout. And I never knew
Speaker 1: the fascination with loading up with water so you can
Speaker 1: get them down, like I've never gonna cook out and
Speaker 1: say I'm gonna dump my hot dog and a little
Speaker 1: water so I can get these down before the next
Speaker 1: one gets off the grill. I mean that would be
Speaker 1: a statement if you go to cookout and try that. Well,
Speaker 1: all right, So last year when we were you know,
Speaker 1: we were down the shore, or I was down the
Speaker 1: shore for Fourth of July weekend, and a bunch of
Speaker 1: my cousins were there, and there may or may or
Speaker 1: may or may not have been a little bit too
Speaker 1: much alcohol involved, but we actually decided to do this.
Speaker 1: We were gonna have a hot dog eating contest. So
Speaker 1: we sat there for a good i don't know, half
Speaker 1: hour forty minutes and just constantly made hot dog after
Speaker 1: hot dog after hot dog, and then brought him inside
Speaker 1: and kept him on top of the stove so that
Speaker 1: they would you know that they would all stay there.
Speaker 1: So I don't understand how these guys get to the
Speaker 1: numbers that they get to. And his hot dog UNI
Speaker 1: contest Tony because we tried to do it, same rules
Speaker 1: as them and everything else. I got the three. Um
Speaker 1: My cousin who wound up winning it. Big guy, you know,
Speaker 1: much much bigger than I am, probably about six to
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. He says he's too twenty,
Speaker 1: but he's probably pushing a little bit closer to fifty.
Speaker 1: I think he put down seven and he wind up
Speaker 1: winning it. Now, that's seven is pretty impressive. Now, that
Speaker 1: was with the bunno without the bund with the bun like,
Speaker 1: we tried. We tried to do that, like we tried
Speaker 1: to follow. We were like, because you know, even when
Speaker 1: you're drunk, you think you can do anything, and we
Speaker 1: were all like, we could definitely do this, and we
Speaker 1: could eat seventy hot dogs in three minutes or whatever
Speaker 1: they get for it, and all that stuff. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: is uh, it's not fun and after drinking all day,
Speaker 1: it also doesn't work out very well at the end
Speaker 1: of the evening. So I wouldn't advise anybody to try
Speaker 1: this tomorrow. There are some July for traditions that you
Speaker 1: know are better left watched and not participated in. Alright,
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a little tough there. Now it's interesting
Speaker 1: because we have the whole addition, what do you now,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. When kobe A She was lost in it,
Speaker 1: there was one point eight million viewers for the hot
Speaker 1: dog eating contest. Now when kobe As She was out
Speaker 1: in a contract dispute, there was one point one five
Speaker 1: So seven hundred thousand more of you is with Kobey
Speaker 1: She there. Now. I don't know if they were from Japan.
Speaker 1: I don't know if people like the rivalries, but Kobe
Speaker 1: as She was actually a guy that fueled this hot
Speaker 1: dog eating thing. Well yeah, and you know it's and
Speaker 1: it's actually not just this hot dog eating thing. To me,
Speaker 1: the people who are involved in it will get very
Speaker 1: mad at you if you don't call it by its
Speaker 1: correct name, which is competitive eating. So it's a competitive
Speaker 1: eating thing because I mean the hot the Nathan's hot
Speaker 1: Dog one is the big one that the average person
Speaker 1: knows about. But you know, they have the wing bowl,
Speaker 1: and they have the chili bowl, and they have the
Speaker 1: avocado Bowl, and you know, there are all these different
Speaker 1: things were all over the country. You know, you basically
Speaker 1: compete to see how much food you can eat. So
Speaker 1: you know, these guys they work hard there. You know,
Speaker 1: they're athletes as well. They eat all day long and
Speaker 1: you know, make sure they stretch their stomach out and
Speaker 1: and get themselves ready to compete in these competitions. So
Speaker 1: you know, it is kind of a big thing. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I kind of agree with you. But it isn't that
Speaker 1: the same way in any sport though. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: if you have a sport that's an event driven sport,
Speaker 1: it really comes down to your stars, no matter what
Speaker 1: sport that is. I mean, that's even the problem that
Speaker 1: people are saying right now with you know, boxing, there's
Speaker 1: no you know, we talked about this on on Target
Speaker 1: this morning. How if I said to everybody out there,
Speaker 1: real quick, name me the heavyweight champion of the world
Speaker 1: right now. Most people can't do it. And now again,
Speaker 1: there are actually five of them right now, and and
Speaker 1: and name me one. Go ahead, anybody, name me one
Speaker 1: of the heavyweight champions. Most people can't even answer that.
Speaker 1: Now you look fifteen wenty years ago when the Mike
Speaker 1: Tyson's and Evander holy Fields and those guys were coming in.
Speaker 1: You know, everybody knew Mike Tyson was the champ. Everybody
Speaker 1: knew holy Field was the champ. You know, you go
Speaker 1: back even longer than that, thirty forty years when guys
Speaker 1: like Frazer and Yeah, all these guys, you know, every
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, you were you were the
Speaker 1: king of the world. I mean, we we joke about it,
Speaker 1: but you know, in America used to be you know,
Speaker 1: the the home run hitting king. It was Babe Ruth
Speaker 1: and you know, the heavyweight champ. You know, they were
Speaker 1: like three or four things that were you know, made
Speaker 1: you kind of like an instant celebrity. I mean, when
Speaker 1: you were the heavyweight champ back in the day, people
Speaker 1: didn't even call you by your name, Tony. They just
Speaker 1: walked around and called you a champ because you were
Speaker 1: the man. And you know what, we don't have that nowadays.
Speaker 1: It's not as big a deal. There once was a
Speaker 1: man from Nantucket with hot ducks so long he couldn't
Speaker 1: chuck it. So he said, with a grin, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: throw this thing in the bin. And that's how he
Speaker 1: spent his fourth of July and where the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: brought to you by the folks of the fan, these
Speaker 1: fords of radio Network. As we got things moving and
Speaker 1: shaking tonight, a little hot dog eating competitive going on here,
Speaker 1: We've got some movies galore, and of course we got
Speaker 1: a boxing match that ended up a little crazy on
Speaker 1: Saturday night where a guy won and people couldn't figure
Speaker 1: out how he won, and even they had a computer
Speaker 1: that keeps track of that punches and he threw two,
Speaker 1: wanted more punches than the other guy, and I don't know,
Speaker 1: like he didn't expect to win. He still has a job.
Speaker 1: He's a teacher. He had like a little time officer
Speaker 1: decided to box Manny pacing out what the heck is
Speaker 1: going on in the world of box And we used
Speaker 1: to know who the heavyweight champion was. We used to
Speaker 1: have fights and there we used to be winners and losers.
Speaker 1: Now I think we have one night, hundred numbers. You
Speaker 1: call up and pick the winner. I have no idea
Speaker 1: what's going on. We'll figure it out. Stay tuned for
Speaker 1: more Yo Yo Yo Fantasy Freestyle. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Lineup blog show brought to you by de Lerodo dot
Speaker 1: Com continued, No, it's not. It's a fantasy freestyle in
Speaker 1: Benny Antonio here for an extra hour. Dan Martinez is
Speaker 1: off and we've got some movies in play. You can
Speaker 1: go over to Twitter and you can vote right now
Speaker 1: at F and T s Y Radio for your favorite
Speaker 1: sports movie, The Mighty Ducks or The Wrestler, and make
Speaker 1: sure you go over there and vote on that. We've
Speaker 1: got major League Baseball action underway. The Philadelphia Philly is
Speaker 1: ahead of the Pittsburgh Parts in the first sitting two
Speaker 1: to nothing on a two run home by Freddy Galvis.
Speaker 1: As of right now, it looks like uh mr nova
Speaker 1: in a little bit of trouble there, and also trouble
Speaker 1: in the Yankees Toronto game. The New York Yankees have
Speaker 1: put one run across on Marcus Stroman already and basses
Speaker 1: are loaded with Jakobe Ellsbury at bat, and so the
Speaker 1: Yankees one nothing in with one out in the first
Speaker 1: inning there, and Miami we had a d Gordon get
Speaker 1: on base, get to third base, but then Adam Wainewright
Speaker 1: was able to get out of the gym, and that's
Speaker 1: where we are on today's actually one of the games
Speaker 1: start at six o'clock. We had the New York Mats
Speaker 1: Washington Nationals. Nothing. Nothing in the fourth inning in that
Speaker 1: one a pictures duel with Steven Matt's and Steven Strassburg.
Speaker 1: So Tony, let me throw one more thing in on
Speaker 1: top of this for any of you guys who are
Speaker 1: uh people who listen to us on the DFS lineup
Speaker 1: block and you've got some lineups in there tonight, Uh quick,
Speaker 1: late breaking news that happened here and you still have
Speaker 1: time to late swap it out. Brian Dojer was scratched
Speaker 1: tonight from that start for the Minnesota Twins, so Dojer
Speaker 1: is gonna be out. It makes it makes me like
Speaker 1: Alex my are a little bit more if you threw
Speaker 1: him in there as you're you know, you're crazy cheap
Speaker 1: picture punt option. But the reason why I really wanted
Speaker 1: to say this is if you have Doze are in
Speaker 1: your lineup, make sure you go ahead and go and
Speaker 1: get him out there. Right now. I'll have to. I
Speaker 1: think I haven't been one of mine, so we'll have
Speaker 1: to take a look and see who we can who
Speaker 1: we can put in there instead that we might be
Speaker 1: able to get some some production out of here tonight,
Speaker 1: so they haven't. Brian Doeser is a guy I uh
Speaker 1: certainly like tonight if you're staying out of the situation
Speaker 1: in Colorado, I think he was a great, great alternative
Speaker 1: uh for people there, so uh make sure you take
Speaker 1: a look at that in the Washington Nationals um Uh.
Speaker 1: William Wilmar de FiOS actually got two hits in the
Speaker 1: game tonight. He's the guy that's getting all the hits
Speaker 1: for them. Now. One of the things that we talked
Speaker 1: about before went to break was Saturday night, Manny Pachy
Speaker 1: I fought on ESPN absolutely free in Australia. Now, did
Speaker 1: you see any of this? I didn't watch the fight,
Speaker 1: but I've been you know, I've heard. I was on
Speaker 1: Twitter and I saw all the controversy and heard what
Speaker 1: everybody says, and I've seen a lot of the highlights.
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta be honest from what I'm seeing
Speaker 1: of the whole situation, and what I read here is that,
Speaker 1: you know, Pacquiao basically beat beat him up most of
Speaker 1: the fight. I mean, Pakiow even so far as saying
Speaker 1: like he kind of feels like, you know, he might
Speaker 1: have been set up for a loss in this case,
Speaker 1: because every one of the numbers by the computer, like
Speaker 1: you were saying before, says that Pacquiao won to fight.
Speaker 1: Everybody who watched the fight thought that Pakio won to fight.
Speaker 1: I mean, there was even a point in the ninth round,
Speaker 1: I think where the referee said the horn like, you know,
Speaker 1: you're a writer, You're hey, I'm fine, I'm fine. He's like,
Speaker 1: you know, if you don't, you know, if I don't
Speaker 1: like what I see out of you in the next round,
Speaker 1: if you're not able to protect yourself, I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to end this. So I don't know, I have no
Speaker 1: idea how he would up winning. I've I've seen and
Speaker 1: heard all the controversy. I mean, you know, this is
Speaker 1: part of the problem I think with boxing right now
Speaker 1: is that, you know, people kind of think it's fixed,
Speaker 1: and when stuff like this happens doesn't really help that
Speaker 1: narrative any See. The problem here in this fight is
Speaker 1: that when people they announced that it was a unanimous
Speaker 1: decision and it was like one seventeen and one eleven
Speaker 1: on one of the judges core cards they they shot
Speaker 1: there for so people expected Paggy Out to certainly win
Speaker 1: that one and it didn't happen. But the thing is
Speaker 1: is that Paggy I was ah to one favorite in
Speaker 1: this fight, right, So are there right? Like, there's gotta
Speaker 1: be if this is truly a decision that somehow got away,
Speaker 1: what is the benefit? Like I always like making this
Speaker 1: this talk about this today on the on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: News desk. There is no benefit to having this fight
Speaker 1: happen again. This guy is the luckiest guy in the world.
Speaker 1: That's this guy from Australia. He's not even a fighter.
Speaker 1: He's a teacher and he fights, you know, part time.
Speaker 1: He's like not a fighter. It's like this is like
Speaker 1: the Rocky belt. Was about to say, right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was just about to say, it's like a real life
Speaker 1: Rocky story, only instead of him losing to Apollo in
Speaker 1: the end, he actually walks away with the w he wins,
Speaker 1: but nobody believes he's actually one. So I think Rocky
Speaker 1: had a better way to get a you know, rematch
Speaker 1: and go from there. And nobody's gonna pay to watch
Speaker 1: this fight I don't believe. So what they do put
Speaker 1: on ESPN again? Yeah, I mean I get now this
Speaker 1: was for a belt too, right, So isn't this guy
Speaker 1: like a world chap now. And this, this is my
Speaker 1: problem with boxing right now is you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: here's here's the thing, and I don't want to get
Speaker 1: too much into you know, the differences here, but you know,
Speaker 1: people always say why is the UFC being so successful
Speaker 1: right now? And boxing isn't The UFC is so successful
Speaker 1: right now because they have a central body that's controlling
Speaker 1: the sport. Whereas in boxing it's kind of like every
Speaker 1: man for himself, which works out great for a guy
Speaker 1: like you know, Pakia or Floyd Mayweather who can go
Speaker 1: and make themselves I mean, you know, an incredibly insane
Speaker 1: amount of money for every fight that they're in, but
Speaker 1: for the average guy, it's not working out better for him.
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing that's a problem. You know,
Speaker 1: if you're a belt holder, you should be fighting the
Speaker 1: number one contender. You should be fighting a guy who
Speaker 1: you know has beaten everybody else up and earned his
Speaker 1: shot at going and fighting and getting a title. You
Speaker 1: shouldn't be fighting some teacher from Australia who you know
Speaker 1: is a journeyman fighter. Because now, like you said, this
Speaker 1: guy is now the champ and you know what, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw the pictures after the fight,
Speaker 1: I mean Pakia was a little banged up. The other
Speaker 1: guys in the hospital right now, you know, So that
Speaker 1: just kind of goes to show you, like how how
Speaker 1: ridiculous this whole situation was. And now this guy who
Speaker 1: really had no business being in the ring with pakiow
Speaker 1: and and lost the fight from everybody who looked at it,
Speaker 1: you know firsthand, he now has to go defend his
Speaker 1: belt Tony. So now he's gonna go take on a real,
Speaker 1: you know, prospect, somebody who's probably a lot younger, somebody
Speaker 1: who Pakia has probably been ducking for a while, you
Speaker 1: just like he did Mayweather for the longest time out there,
Speaker 1: and you know it's gonna be a blood bath, and
Speaker 1: I almost feel bad for the guy. So, like you said,
Speaker 1: it actually might have worked out better or even if
Speaker 1: Pakil did win. But but this is my problem with boxing.
Speaker 1: You got the w B, oh, you got the w BC,
Speaker 1: you got the ib F, you got five different champions
Speaker 1: in every weight class, and nobody can name any of them. No,
Speaker 1: And here's what happened here, here's some of the numbers
Speaker 1: from this fight. Pakil landed double the amount of punches
Speaker 1: of Horn in this world, right, So basically Pakil landed
Speaker 1: a hundred eighty two punches, Horn landed two. Horn through
Speaker 1: six d punches packing through five seventy three, but Horn
Speaker 1: landed ninety three few punches. Peggy Ell landed thirty two
Speaker 1: percent of his punches. Horn landed just fifteen cent. The
Speaker 1: judges voted one fifteen, one thirteen, one fifteen, and one thirteen,
Speaker 1: and then one seventeen and one eleven for Horn. Horn
Speaker 1: was beaten so bad in the ninth round that they
Speaker 1: almost stopped the fight. As Benny was referring to that,
Speaker 1: several other people not involved in this gave packy on
Speaker 1: the fight that round ten eight. So these numbers are insane.
Speaker 1: And my question is, if they're that bad and everybody's
Speaker 1: you know, on the same page, why aren't the judges
Speaker 1: going to jail? Yeah, I mean, obviously there was something
Speaker 1: going on here and I and you know, this is
Speaker 1: one of the things to to kind of draw on
Speaker 1: a bigger topic that we've been talking about here on
Speaker 1: the station lately with all the stuff that's going on.
Speaker 1: This is one of those things about sports betting that
Speaker 1: has a lot of people, you know, worried about what
Speaker 1: happens if sports betting becomes legal. I mean, you got
Speaker 1: to know that in the situation like this for this
Speaker 1: to be dis egregious, somebody made some money somewhere Tony,
Speaker 1: there was a big bet put in. Whether it's overseas
Speaker 1: or whether it was I mean, because these are both
Speaker 1: overseas fighters. It's not like either ones in the US,
Speaker 1: you know, so maybe it maybe it didn't go through
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas casinos. Maybe it wasn't one of those
Speaker 1: things that you know, they were able to catch and say, hey,
Speaker 1: there could be some fraud going on here. But this
Speaker 1: is the problem that people have with you know, everyone
Speaker 1: talking about legalizing sports betting all over the country. Now
Speaker 1: there's no way to really stop stuff like this from happening. Now.
Speaker 1: It's one thing when you know, people say, oh, well
Speaker 1: you can fix the basketball game. Well, no, it's tough
Speaker 1: to do that in the NBA because all those guys
Speaker 1: out there are making you know, literally millions and millions
Speaker 1: of dollars where you know the amount of money you'd
Speaker 1: have to pay them in order to throw a game.
Speaker 1: It kind of pals in comparison to the amount of
Speaker 1: money that you can win doing it. But like we
Speaker 1: saw happen back in the nineties and they made a
Speaker 1: movie about it, it's very easy to do something like
Speaker 1: that in college athletics because those kids aren't getting paid.
Speaker 1: And I mean that opens up a whole another can
Speaker 1: of worms. That will be four different discussions we can
Speaker 1: do on different shows. But you know, this is one
Speaker 1: of the issues that people have is when you have
Speaker 1: sports betting, there's always gonna be somebody trying to get
Speaker 1: an edge and trying to, you know, figure out a
Speaker 1: way around it all, you know, And obviously in this situation,
Speaker 1: I mean that's the only explanation I can have for
Speaker 1: it is that you know, somebody got to the judges
Speaker 1: or the judges were in on on some kind of
Speaker 1: big bet where you know, if they had any chance
Speaker 1: to let Horn win, they were gonna make sure it happens.
Speaker 1: I could fix the game. I know, I could fix
Speaker 1: any game. And the key to fix in the game
Speaker 1: to me is that I fall the player around, I
Speaker 1: get their tendencies right, and I find one that likes
Speaker 1: to go out late at night and likes to hit
Speaker 1: the clubs, which is probably like over half the players.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that's probably a bah all right now.
Speaker 1: And now I find a married one, right, and then
Speaker 1: I hire the hottest looking girl in the world, but
Speaker 1: I get her hotel room. I put video cameras in
Speaker 1: the hotel room, and I get this guy drunk. I
Speaker 1: videotaped the whole escapade, and then I say, hey, I
Speaker 1: don't need to throw the game, but I just needed
Speaker 1: to lose. You know, win by nine or lose by nine.
Speaker 1: Any wife will never see this video, and why can't
Speaker 1: this be done all the time? Um? Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, that is the threat, and that is the
Speaker 1: thought that a lot of people have right here, is
Speaker 1: you know, there there are ways to go about doing
Speaker 1: it that way, and and that's what a lot of
Speaker 1: people are worried about with all the sports betting and
Speaker 1: everything else that's going on, is you know, you could
Speaker 1: find guys that put themselves in compromising positions and they
Speaker 1: could be compromised. And you know, that's one of the
Speaker 1: that's one of the drawbacks that we got to deal with.
Speaker 1: It's the Line Up Luck Show brought to you by
Speaker 1: Delly Roylod dot Com. That's continue tonight. All of a
Speaker 1: sudden to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on Sports Byline,
Speaker 1: American Forces Radio, and of course the Fantasy Sports Radio network.
Speaker 1: State Till will be back with more after this, we'll
Speaker 1: go back Fantasy Freestyle all right here, a special edition.
Speaker 1: Dave Martina is off to night. Been re Johnny myself
Speaker 1: getting ready for the fourth of July tomorrow night. We'll
Speaker 1: be back right here for people all up there, getting
Speaker 1: there they groove on. We'll be here from six to
Speaker 1: eight tomorrow night again getting it done on the fourth
Speaker 1: of July. Yeah, eating hot dogs, baby, I'm wondering about
Speaker 1: a dozen before six o'clock show starts. So I apologize
Speaker 1: if you guys can't understand me while I talk with
Speaker 1: my mouthful. What kind of condiments do you use? I'm
Speaker 1: a straight mustard guy, Tony, And I also think people
Speaker 1: who put catch up on hot dogs are weird. You know.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not a big ketchup down a hot dog,
Speaker 1: but I'm a relish guy, and I sort of feel like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, people are prejudiced against me because not
Speaker 1: all the time they have a relish Yeah, now I
Speaker 1: understand you know what I really like it. I like
Speaker 1: when they you get those little onions too, that you know,
Speaker 1: you can get to go along with the hot dogs
Speaker 1: and you put them on top as well, um like
Speaker 1: the breats makes the little like side onion things. That's
Speaker 1: why you gotta go to a place, like if you're
Speaker 1: gonna eat hot dogs, like you don't just eat like
Speaker 1: a random hot dog from like you know, the guy
Speaker 1: in the corner of New York City. Like you gotta
Speaker 1: go to like a real hot dogs place like a
Speaker 1: Nathan's or you know, like a place on the boardwalk
Speaker 1: on the on the Jersey Shore or over in Coney Island.
Speaker 1: Like those are places that they take pride in if
Speaker 1: they have all the condiments that you can want there
Speaker 1: they have. You know, you can get hot cheese and
Speaker 1: chili and relish and you know, mustard and pickles and
Speaker 1: onions and catch up and you know, whatever else you
Speaker 1: can think of to put on. They got it all there.
Speaker 1: When you get those chili cheese dogs, they're really good
Speaker 1: and they're really filthy, and they feel like, I mean,
Speaker 1: you you become a regular for days. Yeah, Well, I
Speaker 1: mean I've had some very good chili you know, chili
Speaker 1: hot dogs over on the Jersey Shore, and you know
Speaker 1: I've done that quite a few times before. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: do kind of you know, come back and haunt you
Speaker 1: later on in the night. But man, they're so good
Speaker 1: on the way down. Um, how do you like to
Speaker 1: cook your hot dogs? Like some guys like to grill
Speaker 1: them other guys. You know, I'm a I'm a boil
Speaker 1: hot dog guy. Like I like the boiled hot dog myself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I actually don't mind either one, you know. And and
Speaker 1: living up in the northern northeast part of the country
Speaker 1: in the winter, you know, if you're having hot dogs,
Speaker 1: you pretty much boil them. You're not gonna go stand
Speaker 1: outside in the snow and fire up the grill. But
Speaker 1: you know, to me in the summer, I mean I
Speaker 1: don't even cook. We don't even turn the stove on
Speaker 1: in our house in the summer. I think we grill outside.
Speaker 1: And you know, we try to eat on that we
Speaker 1: had like a little picnic table we did out in
Speaker 1: the yard there. We try to eat outside as often
Speaker 1: as the weather allows it for us, because you know,
Speaker 1: there's only so many months out of the year when
Speaker 1: you live in the northeast or how to do that,
Speaker 1: so when you have a chance to, you should go
Speaker 1: do it. What about the bugs don't the bugs attack
Speaker 1: your food. We got those tiki torches, you know those
Speaker 1: tiki torches with the bug repellent s pray. Yeah, usually
Speaker 1: pretty good with that, honestly. It keeps the bugs away. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And it's also good if you have a cigar and
Speaker 1: you can't find a lighter or or or you know, matches.
Speaker 1: You just used the thicky George. It's not that dangerous,
Speaker 1: especially for somebody like me with a lot of facial hair. Really,
Speaker 1: you know what I heard a girl tell us just
Speaker 1: a dumb joke today. Oh, I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: a joke. Actually I was in Walmart, right, I don't
Speaker 1: put anything by it in Walmart. It might not be
Speaker 1: a joke. At first I thought it was a joke,
Speaker 1: but now I'm thinking about it, maybe it wasn't. She said,
Speaker 1: I like my grapes like I like my men. I
Speaker 1: like twenty seven of them, and I like them dark.
Speaker 1: That's uh, yeah, I don't know if she was joking
Speaker 1: or not. But I don't understand why is that just
Speaker 1: a random number or I don't know that all the
Speaker 1: grapes or you know, I don't know. That's what I mean?
Speaker 1: Is that like the grapes Are they that good? And
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like, I don't need grapes like
Speaker 1: I don't I don't like squishy things in my mouth. Um,
Speaker 1: so I don't need grapes like those things are squishy, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, I like, I mean thinking about it's getting
Speaker 1: me not. Yeah, unintentional humor is the best, but yes,
Speaker 1: um yeah, I I really don't know where to go
Speaker 1: right now, Tony, I've had a lot of The Cardinals
Speaker 1: have put up four in the bottom of the first inning.
Speaker 1: It's for nothing. Cardinals, their offense provided by Tommy fam
Speaker 1: with a triple, Jet Jerko with a hit and a
Speaker 1: stolen base in this one, and Matt carbon has a
Speaker 1: hit in the scored run as uh. Stephen Piscotty also
Speaker 1: at r v I a run scored in a hit
Speaker 1: in that one. And Philadelphia is still to nothing on
Speaker 1: with Pittsburgh. New York yekes two nothin over Toronto and
Speaker 1: the Washington Nationals up. Oh no, they're not up zero
Speaker 1: zero in the fifth inning, the up to bat right now,
Speaker 1: and that's where we are in Major League Baseball right now.
Speaker 1: Stephen Matt's and Steven Strasburg dueling Uh, to a great,
Speaker 1: great pitching performances thus far in those contests. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, the Cardinals being up a bunch of runs
Speaker 1: early here is a good thing for me. I mean,
Speaker 1: I told you guys, I was trying to stay away
Speaker 1: from using the Rockies tonight, which again I mean, no
Speaker 1: matter how many runs you get, you can never feel
Speaker 1: comfortable when the Corps game hasn't started yet. But I
Speaker 1: did stack up two teams tonight, and most of my
Speaker 1: my tournament teams, I used two teams, and I put
Speaker 1: him in a whole bunch of different tournaments. One of
Speaker 1: them was a stack of the Red Sox. The other
Speaker 1: one was a stack of the Cardinals. So the Cardinal
Speaker 1: stack is off to a pretty good start tonight. Even
Speaker 1: on my Red Sox stack, I had some exposure to
Speaker 1: Piscotti and Jorko. I think we're two of the one
Speaker 1: off plays I had. I mean, we talked about it
Speaker 1: on the Lineup Block Show, Tony. I mean, Jeff lock
Speaker 1: is just not a good picture. You know, he's not
Speaker 1: good at this point in his career, and he really
Speaker 1: struggles with right handed bats. And you look at that
Speaker 1: lineup other than Matt Carpenter up there at the top.
Speaker 1: They threw a whole bunch of right handed bats and
Speaker 1: just go and check out what happened. Second guy up,
Speaker 1: right handed bat, Tommy Fan he had a triple Piscotti
Speaker 1: right handed bat singled him in. You know the guy
Speaker 1: behind him and Jorko he hit a single. You know.
Speaker 1: The guy behind him was Yadi Air Molina, another right
Speaker 1: handed bat. He had the sacrifice, uh, you know, the
Speaker 1: sacrifice rb I to get him over. So this is
Speaker 1: why you stack up a team here when the picture
Speaker 1: is bad on the other side, and everybody gets a chance.
Speaker 1: I mean they may bat around in the first inning.
Speaker 1: We might end up getting five, maybe even six at
Speaker 1: bats out of everybody on that St. Louis team tonight. Now,
Speaker 1: I said earlier in the show that the Golden State
Speaker 1: Warriors that signed a free agent, and uh they have
Speaker 1: and who would ever thought that they would go out
Speaker 1: and get well. But it's Kevin Durant. He's back for
Speaker 1: two years, taking fifty three a million dollars. It would
Speaker 1: be crazy if Kevin had written went and left. You know,
Speaker 1: it's one of those things. Once you win the title,
Speaker 1: maybe he had to go back. But no, he's going
Speaker 1: to gold State, you get two years as fifty three
Speaker 1: million dollars. Yeah. So here was the thing Tony that
Speaker 1: makes this, uh, you know, pretty crazy. If you look
Speaker 1: at somebody tweeted this out and I'm trying to see
Speaker 1: if I can find it again. But basically, if you
Speaker 1: look at the chart of the Golden State Warriors, the
Speaker 1: amount of money that they're spending, the amount of money
Speaker 1: that they have under um, you know, under cap, and
Speaker 1: all that stuff at the moment, in another year from now,
Speaker 1: I think, no, two years from now, they will actually
Speaker 1: be paying more in luxury tax then they are spending
Speaker 1: on the actual salary cap. So there, I think the
Speaker 1: salary caps like one I want to say, it's like
Speaker 1: one seventy or something like that, and they will actually
Speaker 1: be spending about two hundred million dollars just paying off
Speaker 1: the luxury tax for the amount of penalties that they
Speaker 1: have for being over the salary cap with this team
Speaker 1: that they're trying to keep together. Here, absolutely amazing stuff.
Speaker 1: And of course, the Denver Nuggets signed Paul mills Up
Speaker 1: to a three year, ninety million dollar deal. Now this
Speaker 1: is an interesting player because I believe mills Up is
Speaker 1: a good player. I don't know if he's great and
Speaker 1: he never get that opportunity. Um, what's your thoughts on
Speaker 1: Denver now having mills up A joking in the front
Speaker 1: court there, and this could be a very very interesting
Speaker 1: front court with the Denver Nuggets. I actually like this
Speaker 1: move a lot for them because the thing I agree
Speaker 1: with you, Millsap, if you talk about like your definition
Speaker 1: of what an elite player is, you know, like a
Speaker 1: max player like uh, you know, a guy like Lebron,
Speaker 1: a guy like Kevin Durant, these guys that can like
Speaker 1: single handedly change their team and do it all. Millsap
Speaker 1: is not to that level. But Millsap is a step
Speaker 1: below all those guys because while he may not be
Speaker 1: a superstar at all those things, he's above average at
Speaker 1: every single facet of the game. He's a guy who's
Speaker 1: definitely a starter on any and every team in the
Speaker 1: league that he goes to. You'll you'll find a way
Speaker 1: to get this guy into your starting lineup. There are
Speaker 1: very few teams, if any, that wouldn't find a spot
Speaker 1: for Millsap. And that's the other thing that's great about
Speaker 1: him is he's versatile. I mean last year at times
Speaker 1: when Dwight Howard wasn't playing well. He played center. You know,
Speaker 1: his his normal spot is power forward. But for a
Speaker 1: guy who's a power forward, he's a matchup nightmare because
Speaker 1: he can go step outside, he can hit a short
Speaker 1: jump shot there, he can go to the basket there.
Speaker 1: He's athletic enough to do that. He's big enough to rebound,
Speaker 1: he's strong enough to you know, to bang it around inside.
Speaker 1: He sees the floor well enough to to get assist.
Speaker 1: He's a great defensive player. He gets steals, he gets blocks.
Speaker 1: He's gonna help them on the defensive end, which is,
Speaker 1: you know something that the other big guys they have,
Speaker 1: whether it be Joki or any of the other guys
Speaker 1: behind them, really didn't help them all that much on
Speaker 1: the defensive end last year. So I think it's a
Speaker 1: great move for them. The only problem I have, and
Speaker 1: again we gotta look and see. You know, it's still
Speaker 1: a couple of months before the season starts. The problem
Speaker 1: I had with the Nuggets last year is they went
Speaker 1: ten deep with really good players, but they didn't have
Speaker 1: any really great players until Joki came along and started
Speaker 1: getting minutes and and showing us how good he really
Speaker 1: can be. I would have liked to have seen them
Speaker 1: package some of these guys that they have here together.
Speaker 1: You know, whether it be a Will Barton or or
Speaker 1: you know, a Chandler or you know, maybe one of
Speaker 1: maybe a guy like a Murray, one of their draft picks.
Speaker 1: You know, package two or three of these guys together
Speaker 1: to another team and get another star or to add
Speaker 1: to him. You know, you have Djoki as the piece
Speaker 1: to build around. Now you have Millsap as well, and
Speaker 1: then they have about seven or eight guards that are
Speaker 1: all basically decent but not great players. I don't know.
Speaker 1: They definitely have the talent to compete. I don't know
Speaker 1: if they have the talent to really win though. And
Speaker 1: then another move I really like is a guy named
Speaker 1: Otto Porter for the Washington National. I just thought he
Speaker 1: would never get the ball in his hands enough to
Speaker 1: create his game to the next level. And I think
Speaker 1: he has all the tools there. Now, Sacramento a team
Speaker 1: is throsh absolutely in need of talent. Signed them to
Speaker 1: an office sheet. Now the Bullets, all the Wizards have
Speaker 1: the opportunity to match that. Um, I'm sure that they
Speaker 1: will try to match it. But they did give a
Speaker 1: maximum contract. Yeah, it's a what is that a four year,
Speaker 1: like hundred and six million dollar deal or something like that,
Speaker 1: Like it's a lot. I saw the deal today and
Speaker 1: I like did a double take. I'm like, wait, that's
Speaker 1: the Auto Porter deal. Like he got offered a ton
Speaker 1: of money. Yeah, and uh, I don't know how they're
Speaker 1: gonna be able to keep him. So he'll be in
Speaker 1: Sacramento and I think he'll become a big fantasy option.
Speaker 1: Well again, Sacramento was bad. We talked about it last year,
Speaker 1: and whenever you have a decent player that goes to
Speaker 1: a bad team, you know, he went from being what
Speaker 1: the third fourth option at best on Washington to a
Speaker 1: guy who could be the first or second option here
Speaker 1: in Sacramento. So yeah, I mean, I definitely think you
Speaker 1: can expect that at the very least, his minutes and
Speaker 1: his shot attempts and his his touches and usage rate
Speaker 1: are all going to go up this year. There we haven't.
Speaker 1: Now we have Donnie Burns with us tonight. Now, Donny,
Speaker 1: are you an auto poor guy? I am. I'm actually surprised.
Speaker 1: Like you guys, that was a pretty big contract. I know, Uh, Tony,
Speaker 1: you're pretty big on him and daily play. Uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know as much of he should be making that
Speaker 1: much money, but I mean, good for him. That's a
Speaker 1: ton of money. What about the situation with Paul Millsap
Speaker 1: in Denver? I do like Paul Millsap. The only knock
Speaker 1: on him is that he's getting old. But I do
Speaker 1: agree with Benny. He's good at every facet of the game. Um,
Speaker 1: without him, you know they're talking, the Hawks won't even
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. So you know he's pretty effective. Uh,
Speaker 1: like you said, stepping out and shooting the three at
Speaker 1: that stretch four. So I look to see this Denver
Speaker 1: team is pretty young, but they got a lot of
Speaker 1: good pieces. I wasn't too big on Jamal Murray when
Speaker 1: he first came in, but he's gonna turn out to
Speaker 1: be a pretty good NBA player. He was, He was
Speaker 1: great in the Futures Game last year. Yeah, he lit
Speaker 1: it up. How do you like your hot dog prepared, Donny.
Speaker 1: I'm not a big hot dog guy. I'm actually a
Speaker 1: cheeseburger guy. Well, everybody's a cheeseburger or a hot dog.
Speaker 1: But he's a commun He's a communist, Tony. He's not American.
Speaker 1: I guess I'm an enemy of the fantasy freestyle right now,
Speaker 1: because I really don't like hot dogs. Yeah, he's not
Speaker 1: trying to make America great again. No, no, but you
Speaker 1: do drive a Chevy, don't you a Dodge? All right?
Speaker 1: Well Dodge Chevy. There they merged right there, the same thing.
Speaker 1: Is that close enough? Tony, he's got one out of
Speaker 1: three at Yeah, he's like a spy. He's not quite American.
Speaker 1: He's Donny or untill be there when we come back,
Speaker 1: we're gonna break down. Tonight's winner of the the top movie.
Speaker 1: You know, move on in this little movie pool they
Speaker 1: got going on, which featured the Mighty Ducks versus the wrestler.
Speaker 1: And I think America is screwed up. But you know
Speaker 1: what I think, like they get all love with these
Speaker 1: little furry animals and emliel Estevez, who was once married
Speaker 1: to Paula Abdul, I did not know that. Yeah, how's that?
Speaker 1: How's that for a little trivia? Yeah? What the what?
Speaker 1: They call it? The brat pack him and his uh
Speaker 1: st almost fire buddies and all. Yeah, which is a
Speaker 1: lot different than me and my friends. We were the
