I got my man, Mikey Florio holding it down for me like hot, like liquid hot Magma, which boy Dane Martinez on a Friday. Let's get right into our top five and in the cipher right now with some news and notes around the league.

We're gonna start on the baseball side of things. Okay, James Paxson, the Seattle Mariners starting pitcher, has been put on the ten day d L. That news just broke after you suffered a pectoral strain in last night's start. So keep an eye out on him and get him out of your lineups for next week. The Mets, and I know you're gonna love this, Florio, the Mets have called up first baseman Dominic Smith. This guy was mashing

in the Pacific Coach League. We're hitting three thirty, seventeen home runs, seventies, six r b i s, and now the path to at bats is clear. Remember the Mets have traded Luca's Duda, They've traded Jay Bruce. It is a new day with guys like Dominic Smith and of course Ahmed Rosario. Cubs catcher Wilson Contraras he is expected to come back at some point this season, but it probably won't be until late September after roster's expand. Alex a. Villa may in fact get everyday work. He is in

the sixth spot of that lineup today. And for the Yankees, starting pitcher C C. Sabathia has been placed on the ten day disabled list with that knee inflammation. They have recalled Jordan Montgomery from Triple A. However, honestly, guys, the

news and notes for the NFL today is much bigger. Okay, First, I'm gonna start small Dolphins second round pick ray Kwon McMillan, and I just had to say ray Kwan because you know I'm a Wu Tang fan, right, ray Kwon McMillan tore his a c L. This is the second round pick. He was gonna be there starting middle linebacker and now he is gone for the season. Then we had some trades today, Okay, we had some trades today centered in Buffalo.

First of all, they the Bills trade wide receiver stud when healthy Sammy Watkins to the Los Angeles Rams for cornerback e j Gaines and a second round pick. Okay, and don't don't get it twisted. These picks I think are actually kind of important. Sammy Watkins reunites with Robert Woods out there in l A. But the Bills were not done. They then had a hole at wide receiver. So what did they do? They traded with the Philadelphia Eagles to get wide receiver Jordan Matthews and a third

round pick for their cornerback Ronald Darby. That makes the Philadelphia Eagles secondary and defense, which was already a d v O A top five defense, a little bit better. They were, you know, kind of on the outs with Jordan Matthews. A lot of rumors there. So the question is who which wide receiver kind of like improve their stock the most with all of these trades. And we got a poll question up there right now at F and T s Y Radio. You could always follow me

ask me questions at spitting speeds. We've almost got two hundred votes already. Whose stock and fantasy football went up here? Jordan Matthews going from the Eagles to the Bills, Sammy Watkins going from the Bills to the ram Or is it the Philadelphia Eagles wide out that did not move at all? Al Shan Jeffrey, the free agent pickup, who now may even get more targets. Right now, fifty percent of you think that it is al Sean who has the best, you know, kind of more potential with the

moves today. But the biggest news of the day, it has come down from on High. Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will be facing a six game suspension for the violation of the Personal Conduct Policy. This is something that has been investigated for the better part of a year. This cloud has been hanging over the Cowboys and Zeke Elliott. He is going to miss six games now, Florio. One of the things I've been telling Chris Bavona as we previewed the Cowboys earlier in this week, is with or

without Zeke. The first four opponents that the Cowboys have, there's some stout front sevens that they're facing. They open with the Giants and my Man snacks Harrison and then they go to Denver to face that defense. Week three, they have the Arizona Cardinals. Even without Calais Campbell, they got a big front seven. And in week four they have Aaron Donald and the Los Angeles Rams. This could Maine.

The Cowboys offense sputters at the beginning. We're gonna talk a little bit more about this Florio in the next segment, but I am fading the Dallas Cowboys. They are gazy to me. All Right, we got a couple of more minutes. I want to tell you some takeaways I had. Remember there was seven games in preseason football last night, so I think, um, there's a lot of stuff to talk about. Okay, So here's the biggest takeaway I have. We officially have

a quarterback controversy in Chicago. All right, and listen. After the Houston Texans played on Wednesday, I told you to pump the brakes on Deshaun Watson, and I would normally say the same thing about what I saw out of Mitchell Drabinsky. But here's the thing. I watched that game. I watched that game on the NFL network. It didn't help that Mike Glennon brew up six literally on the first drive to Chris Harris Jr. That doesn't help. But

Drabinsky really showed me something. I Uh, I've been kind of making fun of him for a little while because of the Mitch and Mitchell and all this stuff. But let me tell you something. Eighteen out of hundred and sixty six yards one touchdown he had another one where through Ruben Randall to like the one yard line. I thought initially that he got in, but I'm gonna tell you something. It's not really about the results. It's about the inputs. I saw really solid accuracy out of Mitchell Drabinsky.

I saw a really solid mobility out of Mitchell Robinsky. I saw a kind of command of grown men in the huddle out of Mitchell Trabinsky. Um, maybe we have an issue here and Mike, as you know, I have pounded the Bears under five and a half wins hard. I'm telling you. Victor Cruz also looked viable, although it didn't look like he almost got killed and was down on the field at one point, but he came back. You got Ruben Ramdle a lot of former giants there, so I'm not sure about that. Uh. You know, so

I think this could be something for the Bears. That's a big that's a big issue. So that's one thing. I got a bunch more takeaways here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network with our Sports Byline affiliates. That's what I'm saying. So we got some more takeaways. We gotta keep it going here. Another game where I looked and I saw some young quarterbacks was the Philadelphia Green Bay game. Carson Wentz looked all right as well. He was perfect

four for four on a touchdown drive. He also kept a play alive, which is really what you need to do in the NFL these days, and it's gonna be great that he gets to hand the ball off to Legarrett Blunt. This guy only had four carries for nine yards, but that will definitely help Carson Wentz development. I also like for the Eagles, Derek Barnett, their first round pick out of Tennessee, got two sacks in the first half. You add him to a guy like Brandon Graham and

Fletcher Cox and that makes them Philadelphia Eagles. Out with Ronald Darby as well, I'm telling you the Eagles defense will be interesting. Also on the Green Bay side of things, I gotta tell you something. Time Montgom refumbled. Okay, and

usually I don't care about things in preseason games. But the fact that Time Montgom refumbled, I think only adds credibility to the fact that Jamal Williams, who me and the all in kid Jake Seely nationally acclaimed top rancor and guy who was in studio a little bit earlier. Today we all think Jamal Williams can push Time Montgomery. Him fumbling is not a good start for that battle. I get another game. I want to talk about Cleveland, New Orleans. DeShawn Kaiser. He looked good as well. I'm

telling DeShawn Watson looked good. Mitchell Trobisky looked good. DeShawn Kaiser also looked good, going eleven for eighteen for a hundred eighty four yards a touchdown as well. He was throwing the deep ball pretty well. I'm telling you, Hugh Jackson wants to kind of mold this piece of clay. Deshaun Kaiser is going to start games for the Cleveland Browns this year. Brock made some decent throws. Brock Oswiler, that is who started the game. But he went six

of fourteen. That's an under fifty percent completion percentage. Okay. On the New Orleans side of things, Alvin Kamaro four carries thirty five yards. I'm telling you Alvin Kamara is a back to stash in longer term dynasty leagues. By the second half of the season, when they figure out that Adrian Peterson can't run from the shotgun, this is gonna be Alvin Kamara getting more burned. Okay, the last game, because we do have one more minute, real quick, Washington Baltimore.

I want to talk about this because uh I was high on some J. P Ryan. No, no, no, not anymore. This guy. He thought it was bad to tie time Montgomery fumbled. J p Ryan fumbled. They didn't lose it. He fumbled, he dropped the pass, he mits the Blitz pick up. I think Rob Kelly is gonna be entrenched as the starter in Washington. P Ryan making too many mistakes. On the Baltimore side of things. Ryan Mallett no looking good.

Another fifty percent completion percentage, three point two yards per attempt. Oh boy, do they hope Joe Flacco is back in time? But you know who is in mid season form? Justin Tucker, who at the end of the first half nailed a fifty nine yard field goal. He's in mid season form when we come back, I'm gonna chop it up about the NFC East when my man Mike Florio, we're gonna talk about our diamonds are fo gazes. We're gonna see if he can guess what you listeners said on all

the polls. And also I want to ask him about Terrence West in a related note, because I thought he had a good game. I've been on team Danny Woodhead. Maybe I need to hop off and get up on the West train. We'll see when we come back. Fantasy Freestyle in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Ezekiel, Elliott, Carl Anthony, Talents, Corey Seeger.

I got my boy Mike Florio with me on the ones and two

today keeping it so hot that we sweat steam. Here's what we're gonna do this segment, Mike, because we've been previewing a different team every day here on Fantasy Freestyle as we get ready for Fantasy football drafts, and we were in the NFC East this week, it is a propos that we have the Dallas Cowboys with this news of Zeke Elliott. So here's what I want to do, Mike.

I want to tell you first what the over under for the team is, right, and then I want to see if you would go over and under, and I want to see if you could guess what our listeners said, because we do that poll every day. Okay, then I'm gonna give you for each team my diamond and the rough and my fantasy fool Gazey. Alright, that's the fool Gaze, the guy you need to forget about. And we're gonna have a little discussion and see if you agree with me,

see if you think I'm crazy. How does that sound like? Sounds fantastic. Let's start off with the Dallas Cowboys. Okay, now, let it be known that this happened before the news of Ezekia Elliott. The over under on their season win total is nine and a half. What do you think? What do you think? And what do you think? The people said? Remember this was yesterday, before the news of the suspension. So I mean, I kind of wish you threw money. I know you threw some money on the

Jets and Bears. I wish you threw someone that I would have taken the under. But there's a lot of Cowboys fans out there. I bet you a lot of listeners voted the over. Okay, uh, thirty percent did take the over, but forty five percent took the under on the Dallas Cowboys. I think this is a team that is primed to regress anyway. That's why my fool gay zy for this team is Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott was QB six last year with thirty six hundred sixty seven yards,

twenty three touchdowns and four interceptions. Aaron Rodgers had seven interceptions. M v P Matt Ryan had seven interceptions. There is no way that we don't see some turnover regression. Obviously, now with Zeke out also with the Cowboys, may ask Dak to win a little bit more on the strength of his arm. I don't think that's gonna be the case. My man, Corey Parkson, the fantasy executive who we all no loves the Cowboys. He has him as QB seven. I have him all the way down as QB fourteen.

Where do you feel about Dak Prescott. I'm in your camp. I have him around QB fourteen as well. Yeah, okay, I don't think there's no way he goes another sixteen games only turning the wall over like four or five times. I know Corey thinks so, but you know, Corey's uh, you know, all sunshine and rainbows and unicorns when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys. On the flip side, though. I'll tell you who I do love. I love Dez

Bryan to have a bounce back yere. I think people have forgotten about how much Dez Brian can win you a week, how incredible of a red zone target he is, how much of a beast he is at the point of attack. This is a guy who had almost eight hundred yards and eight touchdowns and only thirteen games last year. I think he's another year removed from all his health issues. He's my diamond for the Cowboys. I think he's a guy that people don't think about anymore. He is my

wide receiver eight overall. You like desser this this year I got him at wide receiver eight now too fantastic. Mike Florio and speeds. The spitting statistician are sympatico. We moved next to the NFC East. The next team I want to talk to you about is the New York Football Giants. Okay, the Giants over under for the season win total is eight and a half. Where would you go? Where do you think the people went? I think the

people are gonna agree with me. I think that's an over I I think the Giants are you know, I think they're much They're very dangerous team on both the offensive side and the defensive side of the ball. So I mean, I think I saw this. I actually voted. I voted for the over, and I would like to think that the people would as well. Two thirds of the people agree with you. Sixty six say take the over. I have a huge diamond for this team. Okay, I

think this guy is going far too late. Okay, um my man, Corey Parson has this guy as running back like fifty six. I don't care if it's a PPR league or not. I love Shane Verene. This year for the Giants. They were giving Shane Vereen work on early downs in between the tackles before he got hurt last year. There's no reason that he can't do the same thing that Danny Woodhead does. This is a guy Shane Vereen, who last three seasons in a row gets forty five

fifty catches. This is a guy that Eli Manning can trust. And the other part of this is I'm telling you right now, I don't trust Paul Perkins to have a stranglehold on this job. Do you see any path where Shane Vereen is actually the Giants running back this year from Mike, I don't. I don't see that. I see him being their past catching back. I think Paul Perkins is gonna get the starting job. I think Orleans dark quote could be mixed in for short yardage or hopefully

not but potentially goal on scenarios. I don't. I think it's Paul Perkins is the lead back, and if they go away from him, I think it becomes a pure committee. A pure committee. I still love Shane Vereen catching passes in New York. He will get forty five catches at this year. The other guy, The other question I have for you on the New York Giants, and this is kind of a phil thelosophical thing. Oldell Beckham is obviously

a top five, top three wide receiver. My question with you is a similar question I would have with Mike Evans. What is the impact of having a new, legitimate number two wide receiver on the other side. Okay, some people think that, oh, now you can't roll coverages over to old Dell Beckham, right, so it's gonna be a benefit to old Dell Beckham. Other people would say, listen, he's gonna eat into his targets for a guy like Brandon Marshall,

especially in the red zone. I think there's similar things with DeShawn Jackson's impact on a guy like Mike Evans. Do you think that having Brandon Marshall in the fold looking to get a thousand yards receiving for what would be an NFL record fifth different team, do you think that helps or hinders Odell Beckham. I think it helps him. I mean I could see Oldell Beckham repeating what he did last year. I think that maybe the targets drop a bit, but I, like you said, I think it

is higher quality targets. And this is something I've spoke about before. I think it's funny that the players that we pick out and say, oh, adding someone who's gonna hurt this guy, and then we say somewhere else like A J. Green. We're all loving him because he's never had so many you know, weapons around him. But then Oldell Beckham and we we can make the same argument. But no, him and Mike Evans are gonna be hurt

by it. Some people say, I mean, you can make this case for a lot of the top wide receivers. Antonio Brown has Mark Tavis Bryant. You know that he didn't have last year, and Levi Onbell we've hardly seen them healthy all at the same time, so I think you could, honestly you get nitpicky when you try to use this argument for against wide receivers. Fair Enough, we are not in the defensive meetings in the week leading up to the game, so we don't know how they're

gonna treat it. I understand. The next team in the NFC East that we got to talk about is the Washington football team. They're over under is actually the lowest in the division at seven and a half. Where do you think the value is. It's an interesting line. Seven and a half for the Washington football team. I think I could see that's close. I'm gonna say they're gonna I'm gona take the over. I could see them going

eight and eate. I gotta tell you, Mike Way that one of the options we have in the poll, we have take the overtake the on there, and then we also have the option pass. It's a good line. Is that what you would do for Washington? Yeah? I would pass, And I think that's the way A lot of people probably voted. Of the people did vote that way, but fifty two percent believe in the Washington football team. They like that as though they were Kirk Cousins, and they

are taking the over fifty two percent. I think that's a little crazy. I actually think Washington finishes in last place in this division. I gotta tell you two guys though, that I like on this team. Remember how I gave the news before that p Ryan like fumbled miss miss the blick excuse me, blitz pick up? You know, dropped the ball as well. I think people are forgetting about the pass catching back in this offense as well. You've got Chris Thompson, and he's a guy who you know.

I don't think Rob Kelly is anything special. I don't think apparently some J. P. Ryan is and either this may be an interesting guy in PPR leagues. But the guy I really want to talk about is at the tight end position. I do not believe that Jordan Reid will be healthy for sixteen games. I don't think he'll be healthy for twelve. They signed Vernon Davis to an extension in the off season. Talk to me Florio about Vernon Davis if whether it's a read injury or two

tight end sets. Is there any universe where um Vernon Davis v D is viable in the second half of the season. I think it would take a Read injury. But yeah, he is someone he goes super late in drafts, Like I've drafted him in my best Ball drafts just because I don't trust Jordan Read to get healthy. We've already seen him dealing with a foot issue. We know the concussion history. So yeah, and like you said, they went out and they paid Vernon Davis. They obviously value him.

And when Jordan Read was hurt last year, Vernon Davis stepped up and was a tight end one in fantasy. Yeah, and um, last question on half of you on Washington. You know a lot of buzz going on right now about Terrell Prior. I personally think Kirk Cousins eyes will still lock in with Jamison Crowder. I understand that Prior is rated higher and ranked higher, but when we talk about return on investment for where they're going in drafts, I think Crowder is the much better Washington wide receiver.

By what do you think? I love Crowder, but I'm one of the high guys on Tarl Prior. I actually have them ranked twelve in standard leagues among wide receivers. I love both of these guys. I love Kirk Cousins. I'm in on the Redskins passing game. Oh wow, you think Kirk Cousins is gonna put up another like forty yards? So both of them are viable. Listen, I have them a little bit lower. I have them as but really

close to each other. I think I have them as like wide out one and twenty three something like that. We we don't have a ton of time to talk Philadelphia Eagles, so let's start it now. Maybe pick it up when we come back after break. But do you think, uh, do you think the Eagles fans over under eight? Eight games? Where would you go under? Under? All? Mike, we got to talk about this. I am high on the Philadelphia Eagles, and we're gonna talk about why when we come back

right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Tune in Radio Sports US Byeline Affiliates. I heard radio so many ways the your speeds it spitting statistician. Keep listening when we come back.

Fight the power. That's what you gotta do. Right here on the Fantasy Freestyle and the award winning Fantasy sports radio Network is Dame Martinez feeds the spitting statistician and my man Mike Florio on ones in two. It's filling in for Chris Bovona for the next couple of days. We were talking about the Philadelphia Eagles, and you know, Florio's new to the Fantasy Freestyle. He doesn't know how high I am on the Eagles. Over under for this

team is eight. Florio, Did you think that people were taking the under or that you are taking the under? I'm thinking both? Wow. So what is it? Are you allergic to Carson Wentz? You don't believe in alshon Jeffrey's soft tissue injury history? What's the rationale? I like Carson Wentz. I think he is a fine NFL quarterback. I actually look for him to take a step forward this year. You hit it on the head. I I can't trust All Shan. Jeffrey Tory Smith is too boom or bus

for me. I get it. Nelson aghilor in the slot now, but we haven't seen it yet. I like the on paper. Their weapons look great, but I just worry how consistent they're gonna be one and two if all Sean can stay healthy. Fair enough, fair enough. However, of the people who answered this pole disagree with you and say that they should take the over. Only thirty seven said take the under. Twenty three percent say it was an actual good line. I believe Florio that the Philadelphia Eagles are

going to win the NFC East. I think they have a top five defense. I think they have a top five offensive line. I think Lea Garrett Blunt is a huge help to a young quarterback like Carson once. He is one of the only two running backs that were in the top twenty five of Fantasy football last year that changed teams. Le Garrett Blunt changing teams is a big deal that the people are not knowing or talking as much as I think they should. Will he get

eight team touchdowns again? No, but he doesn't need to. I'm talking about a good NFL back to support a growing second year quarterback. The other thing that I think is huge for the Philadelphia Eagles, they will have all pro right tackle Lane Johnson not suspended and helping Carson went out. When Carson Wentz he started great last year and then he went down a little bit, and that coincided when Lane Johnson started their suspension. I think that

is a huge difference. I think Wentz is a growing quarterback act that is going to be the guy that takes that step. Previously, I had a poll question like which young quarterback got the most in support this year? Was it Jamis Winston, you know, getting guys like O. J. Howard and Shan Jackson. Was it Marcus Mariota with Corey Davis that they drafted, getting Eric Decker. Was it Derek Carr getting you know, Marshawn Lynch to turn around and hand the ball off to. Or Carson Wentz with as

you mentioned, Al Shan, Jeffrey Tory Smith, Legarrett Blunt. And I believe it's Carson Wentz. I believe they are setting him up to take that step. It doesn't help, though, that they don't have the Cowboys on their schedule until Week eleven, so regardless of how long Ezekiel Elliott misses, it will not affect the Eagles. They actually have a very tough schedule the Philadelphia Eagles, but I am still

high on them. I believe they can do big, big things. However, you guys know, the first step in building a fantasy football champion is to be early with it. Picked the squad at rhoto Experts dot com and get the exclusive

You know that we are crowning the greatest sports movie of all time. Here on the Fantasy Freestyle and we are down to the Elite eight. I hope you're excited. I'm excited, as you can tell. I'm about as excited as Tim Tebow was to join the Jets

a few years ago. Okay, now we have eight movies left, so I want to get your thoughts on what the final four would be. And we also have a special guest that's going to chime in when it comes to the football region. But first up, in our baseball region, we have the number three seed Major League up against the number four seed, the sand Lot. These guys ran through the region beating movies like Field of Dreams and The Natural and Bull Dorum and Bad News Bears in

a league of our own and things like that. The sand Lot versus Major League? Who do you think makes the final four? Florio, this is something I get crucified for it work all the time. What movie have you not seen? I have never seen Major League. That's absolutely ridiculous. So I would vote sand Lot. That's absolutely ridiculous. But I don't even know if we can continue, Mike. Not only do I get crucified at work all the time, my friends crucified me for this all the time. All right,

so you're voting for the sand Lot. You really need to. We need to lock you in a room one weekend and binge watching. Now people binge watch shows these days. We gotta string together all the major league movies for you. You don't know about Jobu and his Rum. You don't know about wild Thing Ricky Vaughan. I gotta educate you, young buck. All right, we'll keep it moving though. We go to the basketball region. Okay, I think you've seen

these movies. The three seed White Men Can't Jump. He's competing for the regional final against the five seed Space Jam. These are newer movies, Mike, you've seen both of these. Yeah, I love both of these. Okay, so what are we doing. It's hard to go against one of my favorite movies that start with the letter Q, The Stooky Brothers. Can you listen to or hear, Jimmy, do you understand the concept of dry mouthedness. I want White Men Can't Jump to win this all? And I love Spaceshan was one

of my favorite movies as a kid. But White Men Can't Jump as a classic. Alright, fair enough, so your final four so far as the Sandlot, White men can't jump. Very interesting. Now, in our next regision, we call it the wild Card region, Okay, where we had, uh, you know, we kind of had to mix some hockey movies, some golf movies, some race car movies, things like that. But we've got the one in two seeds advancing to the regional final. The number one seed is Rocky Okay, you'r Adrian.

The number two seed is Caddy Shack. Both of these movies came out maybe a little before your time, So I gotta ask you, Mike, have you seen these movies. I've never seen Caddy Shack? Okay, But I've seen every Rocky movie multiple times, really, including like after number four. Yeah, five sucks, but I've seen Five multiple times. I've seen Rocky Balboa, I've seen Creed Okay, Okay, I've seen all

of them, and I would easily vote Rocky okay. And you know, Rocky actually won an Oscar for Best Picture. I believe it was like nineteen seventy nine, Okay, So Chris Bovona thinks that it should be the rightful winner of this entire tournament because it actually won an Oscar, unlike any of the other movies. I think we have maybe Raging Builder or something like that. Okay, so you've got Rocky the Sandlot and white Men Can't Jump. Now we go to our football region, and I gotta tell

you the truth, Mike. We had some upsets in the football region. Okay, the number three seed, remember the Titans lost in the first round too. We are marshall. In the sweet sixteen, we still had the one seed, but then the seven seed, the eleven seed, and the twelve seeds still viable. And it's very interesting because we're not

the only people talking about this, Okay, Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers even recently on a on the part of My Take podcast was asked the same question, and I gotta I gotta tell you, our listeners were some patico with Aaron Rodgers. Okay. In the sweet sixteen, the four final movies left for Rudy the water Boy, Friday Night Lights, and Varsity Blues. We are now down to the regional final of number one seed Rudy and number seven seed Varsity Blues is still live in the lowest seed available

in our tournament. Listen to what Aaron Rodgers thinks it's his favorite football movie of all time. Check it out good tough. Varsity Blues was kind of the first one that really meant something to me, and we watched it in high school and it's about high school players. Obviously that was before remember remember the Titan, which is a great one as well, which I mean, you got the program, you got any even Sunday, we got Rudy. But I'm gonna stick with Varsity Blues and it's a good choice.

And that you didn't say Friday Night Lights because everyone is saying that too, and it makes a good one. But it's all right. So Aaron Rodgers is going with Varsity Blues. Mike Floor AREO are you with Aaron Rodgers or not in this regional final matchup? I've never seen Varsity believe. Oh, come on, Florio. You need to check out the whipped cream bikini scene. Okay, you need to also check out Billy Bob. You need to check There's so many things in this movie. It is a cult classic.

I personally agree with Aaron Rodgers. I like Varsity Blues. Does this mean, though, that you're voting for Rudy? I guess I would have to buy default. Although when you when I first looked at this football bracket. I did not want either of these movies to be the one that represented it. Okay, well one of them is. You know, the only problem I have with Rudy. You know he was off sides on that one play that he made.

Was he Yeah, he was definitely offside. Go back and look at the tape, and I don't I don't like us kind of promoting cheating, and that's what that movie was doing. So I don't know. So you're gonna go Rudy. Okay. So so, Mike, you've got Rudy the sand Lot, White Men Can't Jump, and Rock of those movies. Mike, who do you think takes it all? And who would you want to take it all? I mean, I'm gonna imagine the listeners are like me and seeing how it dominates

every other concert that's been in ongoing. White Men Can't Jump for the win. Wow, White Men Can't Jump is Mike Florio's pick to win the greatest movie of all time from the three seed, you know, And I just first of all, I wanna give a big shout out to whoever seeded all of these movies. By the way, that was your boy Day Martinez speeds the spitting statistician because we got valid matchups. You know, we got like a lot of three seeds. We got a one seed

still in there. We have one Cinderella that's not crazy, and a seven seed. But we didn't have like, you know, thirteen verse eleven in the regional finals. We had ones, threes, fours. I think we did a pretty good job. But you got white men can't jump going the route. I am torn because white men can't jump and Major League two of the eight more these that are still alive are my two favorite sports movies of all time. Okay, so

I understand the like Rudy as a one seed. I understand Rocky and the critically acclaimed movie that it is. But I'm with you. I want either Major League or white men can't jump to win it all. So I'm hopeful with you. The Elite Eight is going to kick off next week right here on the Fantasy Freestyle. We're gonna have a matchup one day every week. The final

four will be decided by next Friday. So when Chris Bovona is back, we're gonna bring on my man Howie Balaban as well, and we're gonna break down the final four of the Greatest of All Time movie tournament. Let me give you some updates right now around Major League Baseball. Phillies are up on the Mets three one that game. In the second inning, however, Michael Confordo has gone yard for the home run of the season. I told you we would have a delay in Washington. That game has

yet to start. UM. In the Bronx, the Red Sox up on the Yankees to nothing. Hanley Ramirez gon yard early in that game. Tigers up on the Twins one nothing in the third inning. UM. We also have the Blue Jays up on the Pirates one nothing that game in the third. We are scoreless after three in Tampa Indians and Rays. We are also scoreless in Miami Rockies

and Marlins. I told you on DFS Lineup Block Show that I thought John Gray was an interesting guy going from Corps to Miami, an interesting park shift factor there. As you know, we also have preseason NFL football going on right now. We are early in the game at MetLife Stadium. The Giants have kicked two field goals against the Steelers. Josh Dobbs, the fourth round pick out of Tennessee, under center for Pittsburgh. We also have a three nothing

game down in Cincinnati. The Buccaneers are up three nothing on the Cincinnati Bengals, but I'm gonna check to see who the kicker is because Aguayo, that guy that they drafted early in the second round a couple of years ago. He's in a camp battle with Nick folks. So I'm gonna check that out. And then Mike, when we come back, we're gonna tie a nice neat little bow. On this episode, we're gonna talk about the Tampa Bay Bucks because Hard Knocked premiered on HBO this week, so we're gonna chop

it up about that a little bit. Mike Florio filling in for bobona is ship Boy, Jane Martinez, Pizza Smitten statistician Fantasy Freestyle in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network
