Follow us at f n T s Y Radio, Follow me your Boys Speeds, the Spitting Statistician follow me at Spitting Speeds. We got two pole questions up for the show today. First, what was your actual first reaction to the news of

the Aaron Hernandez a parent's suicide. You know, and I hate to be insensitive, but when we talk about the poll results, you will see why. One of the options is any death saddens me, and we got to talk about, you know, obviously his four year old daughter, another option that saves the taxpayer some money. And a third option was I'm honestly not sure how to react. I think you guys are gonna find the poll results. It's been

up for about an hour. Very interesting. Also, we're gonna talk about maybe ways to bring these millennials back into Major League Baseball League Donnie Burns zero millennial, Maybe we'll get your insight on that. Baylor has hired a new female president in uh the wake of scandals out there as well. So we got a lot of stuff. You know. I'm gonna give you my my starting lineup. We're gonna put the fun and functional sports radio and of course come on joined the cipher with speeds here on the

Fantasy Freestyle all the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come all right back, We'll hook you up, give you what you need to win your league and win that cash. I'll at your boy, come all right back and enjoin these fine messages. First, ah, you know what it is. You listen to day Martine as a spend statistician here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I got Donnie Burns with me on the ones and tools

bringing in that junior mafia. You know what we do here on this show, Donnie Burns, we get money, and that's how it is. Coming back here to help you win your leads and win that cash. I want to give you my starting line up here. That's what we do here speeds starting lineup on the Fantasy Freestyle Monday through Friday, seven aight pm here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. But check it out. If you don't listen live,

you can still you can still catch us show. Download the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app and this way you get all of our incredible programming and check this out. You get it for free. Okay. So, whether it be Fantasy Best Friends Forever, Rhodo experts in the morning DFS lineup, lock it could beat Jake Seely, Greg Sussman, Tony Sencata, Benny RICCARDI, my man, Frankie stand for so many people, and we are holding you down so that you could

become the boss of your league. Let me give you a couple of news and notes here around Major League Baseball. I told you yesterday pirates outfield of Starlin Marte suspended eighty games for performance enhancing drugs. I thought it was interesting though. One uh Twitter reaction I got on Jake Deakman. He's a picture for the Rangers. He actually says, you know, forget getting suspended. The new penalty should be you make the league minimum for the rest of your career. That's

an interesting conversation. I want to have really hit him where it hurts. I've been saying that in this p D it's a risk you take. Even if you get suspended, it doesn't really matter. You signed a six year, fifty five million dollar deal. I don't care if I'm missing Happy Year. I'm still getting paid. So I think this tweet is very interesting. I thought it's interesting that comes

from another player. The Blue Jays. They're gonna start Matt Latos this weekend against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. I'm telling you right now, this guy is a fantasy food gazey. Forget about him. Had a nice little start last year, about two or three starts, then he fell off a cliff. You shouldn't have believed it in the

first place. Don't believe it. This weekend, Carlos Correa is going to miss his fourth straight game, okay, after being hit in the hand with a pitch earlier over the weekend. Here's the thing, though, He's got to return pretty soon.

He's got to return pretty soon because now with the ten day d L. Otherwise it would have made sense to just give him the ten d d L. Right, So you gotta assume that managers now, if they think you're gonna miss six, seven, eight games, you're gonna put him on this ten day And it's not really that big of a deal. So uh expect him to come

back soon. I think Corea by him even himself, is saying he thinks he's available to pitch hit tonight if need be, and that he will start tomorrow's game for Houston. Zach Britton, the All Star potential cy Young closer last year for the Baltimore Orioles, is getting an m R I on his forearm this Friday. At the end of

the week. I don't know. Remember he's already gonna see time on the d L. Brad Brock, who also was an All Star last year as a setup man, which is very to do, especially in the American League when there's already dialing batansis there. He is only fifty six percent owned. Okay, So if you need some saves, I'm telling you right now, and I'm gonna be telling you a couple of places this episode where you can go, but bratt Brock is one of them at only fifty six percent on go them and get him. Yes, it

was also in Washington. Shawn Kelly and Coda Glover. They are both. It looks like gonna be getting save chances going forward for the Washington Nationals. That's what Dusty Baker has said. After trying and blow up a little bit, so they're saved, you can go and get there. And today for the St. Louis Cardinals and their two to one win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, it was Trevor Rosenthal who got the save in a to one game, not Mr Oh the Final Moss as he was known out

there in his Asian days. He um, he does not looked good, So maybe Tresi Rosenthal is somebody to keep an eye on. He hit a hundred and one on the gun today. Let's keep you moving though your boys, speeds and spitting stat decision. Gave you a couple of starters last night. And oh, once again, I hope you listen to me, man. I told you about Mike Leak. I told you that Mike Leak had a zero point six. Oh e r A. I told you I liked him last night at only sev against the Pittsburgh Pirates. What

did he do? Another nice outing six and the third innings only giving up one run only struck out one, but got the qualities start, got the win into two one victory for the Cardinals. The other guy I told you about that I kind of liked if you went down, was Yankee starter Louise Severino. Luis Severino killed it last

night for the first time since nineteen thirteen. And let me tell you something, the Yankees are really like the only stat the only team that could have stats going back to nineteen but he is only the third Yankees pitcher since nineteen thirteen to have back to back starts of ten or more strikeouts and only one or fewer than one walks Propps. My boy, Matt Medeka, I saw him with that stat out there on Twitter today. I

also want to how you if you're looking for saves. Okay, remember I've been talking about I've been talking about the Texas Rangers for a little while and how Sam Dyson has been getting blown up. I told you to go out there and get Matt Busch. Matt Bush is also only fift old. Go and get Matt Bush. If you want saves, it is easy. But if you are in

a much more challenging league, I got someone else for you. Okay, yesterday, remember I told you about key On Kella, well, and I mentioned it, but I want to get into it for a hot second. He was sent down to the miners the last day of spring training. He was all ready to make the squad, make the big league club. They had an into squad. There was a little bit of beef there and then it went into the locker room, some heated discussions. Okay, he didn't really kind of understand

his own role. He's coming back, and um Tu Kila now says, I understand my lane and my role. It's not only about what's for me, but what is good for the team. I think there's an opportunity there in Texas as well. Okay, um Bush is gonna get the first chance to close. But this guy, this guy has had older injuries in the past. Even manager Banister noted that he would not get every safe chance. And what is Kila done. They brought him up on Sunday. On Monday,

he throws one inning, gets a strikeout. Yesterday he throws one inning, gets two strikeouts. This guy has closer stuff. Trust me, if you're in a deep league, keep an eye on double k getting you strikeouts in Texas right now tonight tonight is acetay. Okay, there are plenty of options out there, and like I say, like my man Tony Sincott on the DFS Lineup Block says, you pay for pitching. That is the way you win DFS in Major League Baseball. Okay, listen, why pay for hitters? Man?

I always told I used to work with kids in baseball, used to coach baseball. I always told kids that even Hall of famers fail of the time. So why are you gonna pay extra there when you can get that locked and loaded starting pitchers their options today? Kershaw, mad Bum Tanaka, Julio Tehran. Let me tell you who I'm going with, though, I'm going with Houston Astro's Dallas Kaiko at nineties okay, um, I was hurt by Darvish last night.

I must admit I gave you. Darvish is one of the best guys on the board and he did not have a good start. But I like dallas Kaiko. I'm paying up nineties six hundred on FanDuel for dallas Kaiko. I like that he is home. I like that he's going up against the Los Angeles Angels who don't really have and ace. He's going up against J. C. Ramirez. This guy has a seven plus e r A and Yo Kaiko has been nasty and three starts he has

a whip of less than zero point seven. This guy, in his three starts, at least on FanDuel scoring has gotten forty three, thirty four, forty nine points. I would roll out Dallas and save a little money. Down from Kerr, shot down from Madison, Bump Gardener tonight. The other guy. If you on DraftKings or if you really want to take a little flyer, look at a Mere Garrett. He's going again up to seventy six hundred. Has his costs

going up against Baltimore tonight. He's been great and too starts and a lot of people think that that, uh, that might be real. It might stick his one point four to e r A. That's what we do.

Okay, we're gonna get into speed cipher. That's when we talk about all the things that you know, I think are really important in the world of sports. I'm gonna give you my reaction to the poll questions, both about Aaron Hernandez, which are pretty interesting. Sometimes you

guys on the poll questions surprised me, Donny. I don't know if you realize this, but of people yesterday agreed with Derek Carr, I thought that was nonsense. But so you never know the way people are gonna vote. We'll check in around the polls around Aaron Hernandez. And also I ask you, guys, how might we be able to get um younger fans back into Major League Baseball. We're gonna talk about that and all the news that are going on out there. I'm your boy, Dane Martinez a

k A. Speeds a k A to spitting statistician. Holler at me if you want. This is the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Get at me eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. Come on back right after this. You know what it is. It's day Dane Martinez a k A to spitting statistician. You listen to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I got my boy Donnie Burns bringing

me back to that John Blaze. We keep it hotlight fire, so hot that we sweat steam here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. If you want to holler at me this hour you absolutely candidate for four eight four, three, six, eight seven nine. As we enter the cipher, let me give you some news and notes here around the NFL. Remember, the draft is coming up next Thursday, is the first round of the NFL Draft. Were working, I might be working Donnie Burns with uh

the Fantasy executive. We may do something special for the first night of the draft here with my man, Corey Parks and the Fantasy executive. Uh So, stay tuned for that. But news and notes here, Brown's executive vice president Sasi Brown says that brock Oswoller will compete for the starting

quarterback job with Cody Kessler. Remember, like I said, though the draft is coming up next Thursday, this is prime time for people to be sending out spoke screens and you know, confusing their up onans and not in throwing out misinformation that hashtag fake news out there. Remember before he wanted to trade him, they said he would pretty much take any pick. As the Cleveland Browns continue to accumulate picks to try to get young talent, John Gruden

did his quarterback camp. I told you about that, with the Watson one and the Trabinsky one. He has actually said now he thinks pit quarterback Nate peterban is the most NFL ready says, because he's coming from a pro offense has the communication um. He said that on a conference called grouped him in the same group with Watson Trabinsky and Patrick Mahomes, which is going up the boards at a rapid pace. Remember I told you Bill O'Brien in the Houston Texans seemed to love Patty Maholmes. Keep

an eye on that. At the tail end of the first round. We have chosen a team for Hard Knocks on HBO. Remember last year where it was the Rams moving from St. Louis to Los Angeles. Jared Goff didn't know if the sun rises where the sun rose and set with people didn't believe in dinosaurs. Well, this year we're gonna hear a lot about from Jamis Winston. It's gonna be the Tampa Bay Bucks on Hard Knocks on HBO.

I love watching that show. I'll be tuning in. I love how in the summertime HBO they do Hard Knocks. They also do Ballers with the rock really prime the pump, get people ready for football. Ryan Fitzpatrick says he wants to keep on playing. However, he thinks he'll have a clear picture of his options after the draft see if any teams will want his services. There there's a couple of available quarterbacks out there. Maybe we'll do a poll question a little bit later on in the week, Donnie,

what do you think? Because I mean, there's Fitzpatrick, there's Cutler out there, there's Kaepernick still out there, there's r G three out there. I wonder which of these guys people would want most for their team. James White has signed a three year extension with the New England Patriots. The Patriots now have a crowded backfield. Donnie. Remember I said at the very beginning of the week that Lea Garrett Blunt need to put pen to paper and sign

that while they still could already this week. Now the Patriots signed Mike gillies Ley to an offer sheet. They lock up James White, you know there, I mean, now there's there's I don't know if there's any seats left when the music stops from Mr LGBT. And as we have mentioned, and we had at the top of the hour, Aaron Hernandez was found dead in his cell. The twenty

year old, apparently a suicide. He was serving life without parole for the murder of Old and Loyal Old and Lloyd Um only twenty seven, does have a four year old daughter named Avil. And it was interesting juxtaposition today as the Patriots visited the White House and Donald Trump first time Donald Trump hosted a team that won their championship since he was elected president. Um, you know we've already seen pictures of the crowd size. I'll leave it

at that. Also, though, when the Patriots visited the White House today, Trump talked about a letter that Bill Belichick wrote him where uh he uh when when Belichick found out that it was going to be used in a campaign switch. Trump says today that he actually quote unquote toned it up instead of toning it down with his praise for the president when he knew that, um, he

would be using it in a campaign stop. Bill Belichick later clarified said that his letter to uh President Trump was not political and mentioned that you know he had uh Secretary John Kerry also in the locker room, that both these guys are just his friend. However, Gronk had another grade day. Um Gronk crasped Sean Spicer's press briefing, asking him if he needed help and what was a one of a few lighthearted moments with the West Hidest

White House Press Corps keeping a moving though. One of the things I did ask on my poll is what was your first reaction when you heard this news this morning about Aaron Hernandez? And I think it's really interesting. My options were, Donni. Um, the options were any death saddens me because you know, listen, I'm not here trying to celebrate that this happened. But at the same time, he was serving life for murder, and he was, you know, potentially um connected to they say, up to a dozen

other murders. So the other option was saving the taxpayer's money or uh. The third option, which, to be honest, is what I found my self thinking originally, which was I'm not I'm honestly not sure, Donnie. I'd love to hear your thoughts, but do you know what the people are saying so far? I would probably guess the taxpayer one, but I'm not sure sure sure? So right now, yes are saying we're saving the taxpayer's money, but thirty agree with me that they are not actually sure. How do

you feel about this? I'm easily going with the first one out. There's a lot of cynical people out there, so actually, and some people don't even know, like didn't follow the you know, the everything that was going on and stuff, and they're kind of celebrating it when at the same time, the law has things instilled for people to go to death row when it's necessary, which he wasn't. He was in life. He was in jail for life.

I mean, I don't celebrate any kind of death, and especially because he has a four year old daughter who's gonna go up without a dad, and it's just it's not a good look to, you know, celebrate that. No, I understand, I understand it only and you know, of our listeners though I told you sometimes they sometimes I listen to surprise me. Uh, you know, our listeners love cops all the way to the elite eight of the TV Greatest of All Time tournament are our listeners. Agreed

with Derek Carr yesterday, So you never know. But here on the Fantasy Freestyle is a place where your voice can be heard. If you want to holler at me and talk to me about this, you can ate four four eight, four, three six eight seven nine. Another story that I'm interested in as we keep it moving here on speed to Cipher on the fantasy freestyle. You know, I don't know if you heard this, Donnie, but they

are considering making up the umpires. Was Major League Baseball when they go into the you know, when they go into the hood basically to do instant replay. And I don't understand why this is a an issue. I don't understand why this is a big conversation topic, Like it's a big deal to put the microphones on umps. We hear we hear NFL referees all the time. We hear NBA referees all the time. You know, this is just gets me going in terms of like the fan experience

and trying to bring young people into the game. Maybe we need to hear the explanations of you know, fair or foul or what that means if it was a ground rule double or we're fan interference. I think that's what we really need to I don't understand why this is a big deal. I'm glad the Major League Baseball is considering implementing this real quick started at the All Star Game and moving forward, But it got me thinking,

and I saw a poll on Twitter. Also, I think it was Jason Stark that was asking for input, but straight up from millennials asking people, you know, like ages, say eighteen, the thirty five and that quality. And you qualify, right, Donnie Burns, You're one of our millennials, and they were asking people, you know, what would it do, what would it take to get young people once again interested in Major League Baseball? So I have that pole question up there as well, and I got a couple of options.

One is like, maybe put in a pitch clock. A lot of people think that in action in baseball is an issue, right maybe put it in a pitch clock, or maybe limit the amount of mountain visits you can have, you know, right now, especially in the late innings, people are just going so many trips to the mountain that takes a lot of time. Or is it in the way major League Baseball is covered? You know, right now you have MLB tonight, but there's nothing like the red

zone in NFL, you know. And also a lot of people talk about how MLB dot d tv is a bad streaming service and people have issues with that. What if they really made that, you know, state of the art where you could stream it all the time, and even on MLB you're hearing more people talk about the games than actually seeing the live action. What if they really revamped that? Or and you're gonna laugh when I say this at first? Or is it tied? Is it

really tied to the video games? When I think about games like Madden, When I think about games like FIFA, those and what really blew up, you know, kind of for kids and their interests in those sports of football and soccer. There used to be an e a sports game for baseball called m v P Baseball. It was the bomb, but it lost its license. I believe it was two thousand and five and and and I really think video games could be another way. Donny, you said you want to get in on this. You think as

you're a guy who is a millennial. Wait a second, your a guy who is a millennial. That's not super it. Basically that's why I want to get in and kind of talking about the young talent and the MLB, and like I said, I don't watch too much of it, but a lot of the young talent is really good. A lot of the shorts, yeah, a lot of the shortstops, like you guy said, are becoming more athletic. The thing I think they need to change stuff off for me

still is it's it's still really slow. So like when you're talking about coming to the noun, you know what I mean, that's yeah, that's honestly like I would pick that, like the mL BE, the show, the video games those are still pretty good. Like I'll even play those and I'm not a baseball guy. It's just speed up the game a little bit because the talent, the young talent, it's fantastic talent is definitely there. You're absolutely right with

I feel like the game is in great shape. But how are you gonna put it on to these youngsters that are out there or these millennials that are out there? Check it out. We have a poll though right now. I'm gonna give you my thoughts a little bit later on in the show. Okay, we gotta pull up there right now. You can find it at f n T S Y Radio or at Spitting Speeds that your boy, Dame Martinez Speeds and Spitting Statistician. I want to keep it going into the site for give you my thoughts

on another story I saw here Baylor University. Okay, they hired a new president. It was a female president. Okay, they hired Lynda Livingston as their new president, first woman president in the university's history. You may remember that Baylor has been going under through scandal at many levels for

the last few years. Check this out. I really don't shouldn't say anything other than this if their football players have been charged with fifty two rapes over the last four years with Art Briles as their head coach, talk about a horrible culture, something that was institutionally poor. The president last president, Ken Starr yep, that Ken Star from

the Bill Clinton days. He was demoted and ultimately replaced on an interim level after like saying, the university didn't do anything wrong, they didn't really know how to handle this. So listen, I think it's great that they brought in Lynda Livingston. Hopefully she's gonna be able to, you know, bring some accountability in there. But I do wonder do you think they just had to find a woman for this role? And and and the other question is if I was a woman, would I want this job really

cleaning up kind of the mess? Do I want to be just you know, what could be known as the token woman in there to just put a good pr face on this. I do think a culture change needs to happen at Baylor. I'm glad that they're moving in a different direction. I just still I wonder if this was there was a little pr here, if they really thought that they must find a woman for this role. Linda Livingston is respected returning the bailor. I think it's

a great fit. I think it's a great higher I just do a little wonder a little bit about that. As the D block takes us out to break, we're gonna come back. We're gonna put the fun and functional sports radio. We're gonna check in on the scores, We're gonna check in on the polls, all that and more. Stay tuned, day Martinez Speeds and Spitting Statistician. You're listening to the Fantasy Freestyle in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Oh you know what it is. This is boy Dane

Martinez Speeds and Spitting Status edition. You're listening to the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network and of course around the world with the American Forces Radio Network. Big shout to all the service men and women out there. Maybe listening to your boys speaes Spitting Statistician for a little touch of home. You know what it is. And I told you before Starlin Marte was suspended for eighty

games UH for performance enhancing drugs. So maybe it's time to big ups and have a big shout out to people in Pittsburgh. Maybe listening to the Fantasy Freestyle on ninety three point seven FM w r KZ in Pittsburgh. Big shout out. Of course, we are sports Byline affiliates across the country as well. I gotta tell you something. In this NHL game down in Toronto, the Washington Capitals have scored not one, not two, not three, but four goals in the first period. They have a four one

lead on the Toronto Maple Leaves. In Game four of that series, Washington Wizards in Atlanta, Hawks close one in the first quarter, Wizards up by one. Lo're gonna go two up in that series. Give you some scores from earlier today as well. Cardinals beat the Pirates two to one. I mentioned to you that Trevor Rosenthal got his first save of the season, not sing Juan Oh. It was the Cubs over the Brewers earlier today seven four at Wrigley.

Wade Davis actually gets to win in relief. He has still yet to give up an earned run this season. The A's all over the Texas Rangers and Martin Perez. It was the A's nine one in Oakland and uh Felix Hernandez still looking decent. Ten five Mariners over the Marlins. All right, keep it moving here. We put the fun in functional sports Radio. Donny, do me a favor. Tell them how we're doing on our polls real quick if you can, because you know it's allergy season and sometimes

your boys speeds. The spitting statistician needs to get a simple water, so let him know how we're doing on the polls so far. Can you do that for me, my man? Yeah, So, if you guys go on to fn T s Y radio dot com. We have a few poles up right now. We've been talking earlier about the Arrow Hernandez situation. This morning, some people are feeling a little if he on if he if they were happy he died getting rid of taxpayers money. So go over to f n T s Y Radio and make

sure you guys cast your votes. Like I said, we're gonna be viewing it throughout the show, so make sure you guys tune in for sure, thanks a lot, Donnie Burns. Right now, right now, a lot of you guys like are like me. You said you're honestly not sure how you feel about that. I also asked what would bring in fans, and you know, it's really interesting. Right now, thirty nine percent of you are actually saying it's the video games. If we had dope baseball video games, UM,

it might keep the fans. I think that's very interesting. I would have never thought about that. But here's what I want to talk to you guys about. You may have heard that Carmelo Anthony has been involved in the hashtag Melo drama all season long. Heard that Phil Jackson, you know, says that he's probably better off somewhere else. Well, La La probably wants him somewhere else as well. Report it's out in New York this week. I'm sure you've heard La La wants a divorce, They want to split up.

Carmelo apparently got a dancer pregnant. That is the news that we are hearing. I'm seeing pictures yesterday from TMZ Sports, both of them not wearing their rings. I think it's kind of interesting. Donnie Burns, you know, you never would have thought like in hockey. How they have a plus minus. You would have never thought that not only would Mellow not get a ring with New York, but that he would actually go down one ring through his time in New York. But it looks like that's gonna happen when

he splits up with La La. But here's the thing that I don't get. How do you get the dancer pregnant? You know? I mean, come on, guys, come on, I mean, doesn't Mellow know that he's a public figure. Doesn't he know about all this? I I'm not so sure about this. I kind of think that Melo just wants a complete reset and reasons to get out of here. Uh So, I think there's more in this story to come. You know.

You gotta love the New York Post, though, with their headlines La La La La, Hey, Hey, Hey good bye. It has for certain been a bad year for Carmelo, and now with this news, he's gonna wind up on the Post on page six, all over the place. But I don't know, Donnie, I know, uh, I know, Donnie, you're something of a ladies man. I'm gonna ask you

later on what you think about this. I don't think that I I think that mellow to be quite honest, even if he's you know, I am not endorsing him cheating on his wife and by any way, shape or form, but I do think he'd be smart enough to to not get the girl pregnant. Um. I'll ask Donny Burns about that jest a little bit later on. Keep it moving though. Here we put the fun and functional sports radio on the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

Getting news. Remember listen, O t A s are getting started around the NFL and Golden Tate. Golden Tate uh is reported to camp in the best what he says is the best shape of his life. Says he is lighter than he usually is, lost some weight in the off season, and you'll never guess to what he attributes his weight loss. He says, he just cut out the chipotle in his diet. That's all he needed to do, was cut out the chipotle in his diet. And he also says that the reason he cut out the chipotle

in his diets because now he's a married man. He's a married man. He married his his girlfriend, Alice Pollard in the off season, and he now says, and I quote now I gotta ring and these home cooked meals, so Golden Tape maybe eating a little bit healthier, Um, you know, good for Golden Tate. You know I need Golden Tate to come out big because uh, he's in

that Jim Bob Cooter offense. If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, if you listen to speeds and spitting statistician, you know that I love the Detroit Lions because they are led by Jim Bob Cooter. So maybe now Golden Tate a little bit healthier, a little bit leaner as

he enters the veteran years of his career. That's when we talk about here in the Fantasy Freestyle, I'm trying to talk about what not only what you need to win your leagues and win that hash, but we put the fun and give you functional sports radio as well. I gotta tell you, though, Donnie, Donnie, we take all this time. We pro we we plug Rhodo experts. I'm constantly plugging my man, Joey Pisapia, Joey Pizza Pizza and the Fantasy Black Book. We got Benny Riccardi's guy to

We're gonna get into the hot start of the Yankees, the Baby Bombers, and uh, some fantasy questions that he has going into the NFL Draft.

I'm gonna be real excited to talk fantasy baseball, talk NFL Draft, and of course to talk this movie with my boy Adam Leon. Catch that next week on the Fantasy Freestyle. But uh, moving along here as we put the fun in Functional Sports Radio. I saw something and don I gotta, I gotta ask you this because you know anything that has to do with the ladies and

being a ladies man. Don Burns is my man. He's not only my basketball correspondent for the Fantasy Freestyle, but but he's like the love doctor of the Fantasy Freestyle. So I don't know if you saw this, Donnie Burns, but uh, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez are apparently an item. Okay, they are apparently together a Rod and j Lo, you know, in in a relationship that needs kind of an abbreviation itself.

If it's a Rod and j Low, maybe the relationship needs one of those names like benefer or things of that nature. But they're on vacation. They're on vacation, and that's nice. That's nice. They went to Dominican Republic, makes sense, you know, Jenny from the block, a Rod repping multiple nationalities with the World Baseball Classic. He could he could play for anybody. They're in the Dominican Republic. They're in a place called Casa de Compo. It's a beautiful resort

in the Dominican Republic. They are paying ten thousand dollars a night for a six bedroom villa beautiful, right on the beach. Beautiful. Here's the thing, This casta, the campo, this entire like resort is owned by Mark Anthony, j Lo's X. Yeah, right, they're vacationing villas. I'm not I'm not done, Donnie. I'm not done, Donnie. Apparently, over the weekend, j Lo and Mark Anthony rehearsed together while A Rod watched.

That's a Rod is looking into maybe buying portions of this, like the villa that they're staying in, part of this resort. I don't know, man, I think that's a little too close for comfort. A Rod and j Lo kind of ballsy, huh that you don't bring your X around you? Right, you're my love doctor, now somebody you're the love doctor. So you don't the girl and all that stuff. Right? You know about this? You don't, you don't You don't think this is a little bit a little weird. Oh yeah,

I think it's totally You don't. Not only is it weird, bad idea, it's a bad idea, right, So let me ask you this though, donn here's the real question. Here's the real question. Do you think whose ego was being stroked here? You know what I'm saying. Do you think it's a rod being like, yeah, I'm a buy or I'm a buy your condo? X man, I don't care. Yeah, you can rehearse my girl, I don't care. Or is it j Lo's ego? Is it j los ego? Like, yeah, I got both of these men. I had you, I

had you. It's all good. Whose ego is really being stoked here? At the most, it's a good question, right, I'm a journalist here. That's why I been statistation asking the tough questions. You think it? Did Mark Anthony know they were coming? Yeah? I guess so they were used together. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know bad that this one's a weird one because many of them were like okay

with it. I think there's always one person that you could pick out, like it's a triangle, right, and I feel like all three of them were like, oh, this is pretty cool. I think it might be a stroke to all of their he goes. Maybe, Donnie, I think we might have I think we might have a poll question. I think we might have a poll question for tomorrow. Okay, and what do you think about this Mellow dancing thing? Like my thing. I'm a little skeptical of this news.

I think this could be pr a little bit because you think Mellow actually was dumb enough to get the girl pregnant. No, I think they're just kind of feeding it to what's going on with Phil Jackson. Right, so, just all the more reason why Mellow needs to leave

New York. Read it. I'm gonna read that, you know, and I don't read that kind of stuff, but like, if it's got Mellow in it, it's very popular right now for so to rate it regardless, sealacious stuff here on the Fantasy Freestyle, Donnie Burns, thank you for all you know. Donnie Burns. You're my You're my you're my millennial correspondent, You're my love doctor, and you're also my basketball You're also my basketball cord. I'm telling you take that.

You know, you need to make business cards. The love Doctor, NBA guy, the Love Doctor, NBA correspondent for the Fantasy Freestyle. You know, I think we need to ask our fearless leader, Mike car Donald, if if if we could do that if we can get business cards made up. Now, that's what I think we need to do in that. You know, I'll I support that, I endorse that. Take this out last thing I want to tell you before we get

out of here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I don't know if you saw this, Donnie, Donnie, another story for the Love Doctor, Another story for the Love Doctor. Donnie at the Sara Sota Open, a tennis tournament down there in Florida. Okay, there was no match. I can't even pronounce these guys, Francis Tifo and Mitchell Krueger. They were in an a TP you know, an ATP tournament down there, The Sarah Sota Open has nothing to do with them. Check this out.

They had to delay the match because there were sounds of love making, and at first the announcer. At first, the announcer thinks that the sounds of love making where someone ring with someone's ring tone. But then later on he tweeted big shout out to the couple that was, you know, like in the hotel a block away across the street. They were making noise so loud that everyone in the tennis arena heard, and it delayed the match. Love Doctor what say you? These are too good life

because I'm not normally speech. But that's what I do. I rendered you speech this Jack, And here's what I want to know. I think this is actually potentially a very tactful move by the broadcaster, because what's he gonna do say right off the bat? Oh so at first he says that it was someone's ring tone, and then later on on Twitter being like shout out to them because he didn't want to do it live on the coverage. Huh. I think that is solid, solid journalism. Let's and I

only can aspire to do it like that. But I am keeping Donnie Burns here speechless on the Fantasy Freestyle. So check it out. We're about to get out of here. When we come back, though, I got a couple. We're gonna tie a nice little bow on this show Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We'll check in on the polls. We'll see if the Washington Capitols scored again.

ego is being stroked. Most notably, it is women saying that j Lo his ego as being the most stroke in that story that left my boy Donnie Burns speechless on the ones and twos also check it out right now, only twenty don agree with you in terms of any death saddens me so um eight percent means that they are either not sure on how to feel or because Aaron Hernandez himself a lot of cynical stuff out there. Also listen, I got um Brian Brian ale Stock on

Twitter who respond saying his first emotion was disbelief. And Vinny Rogers on Twitter, you talk about skeptical Vinny Rodgers on Twitter Twitter at the one and only v rod says fishy as hell, he got off and mad Boston cops and investigators look bad. It was an inside job. Um So people have all sorts of stuff to say, but only twenty percent valuing life. Like my man Donnie Burn still thirty nine in our other question, think that it's e a video games that can get kids back

into Major League Baseball? Only a combined thirty say the pitch clock or limiting mound visits. I thought it was about pace of play. I thought it was about inaction.
