I continue to talk about a different team every week in Spotlight the NFL. We have been in the NFC South all week long, and we finish it up today with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A lot of people are high on the Bucks, a lot of people are high on their now third year
quarterback Jamis Winston. I'll break down everything you need to know about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and we got some polls up right now. Okay, So one of the polls is how you feel about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Their number this season for over under is right there in the middle at eight. Do you think that you should take the over the under or pass on that bet. We also, as you know, we got a movie brackets going on right now, the sports movie brackets. We were
in the basketball region. We got a one five matchup. The one seat is Hoop Dreams. We know Chris Bavona does not like Hoop Dreams because they think he thinks it's a documentary not a movie. But it's up against Space Jam, Michael Jordan's and Bugs Bunny. What could be better than that? When we come back, though, we're gonna talk baseball.

At your boy, Dane Martinez speeds the spitting statisticians, so we do not need to go desposit though. We keep it moving real quick here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Let's get into the starting lineup because I got a lot of things to talk about in this block and we only got a little bit of time. Okay, So first of all, some news and notes around Major
League Baseball. Julio Tehran left last night start after five innings with five crams. Remember listen, it is now summertime down in hot Atlanta, so maybe that was an issue. They say he's gonna be okay to make his next start. He's listed as day to day. He should be okay, but something to watch especially remember when he's at home, he gets lit up, okay, when he's on the road. Maybe a little bit better. These home roads splits for Julio Tehran are really out of control. Matt Carpenter of
the Cardinals was scratched yesterday versus Milwaukee. He is listed as day to day. He's dealing with a hip issue. And also news out of Detroit the Tigers have put their starting pitcher, Michael Fulmer on the ten day d L. And it makes sense, okay, because he got lit up in his last start, but has been good for the most part. Maybe something's going on. The problem though, is it's with his right elbow and they're talking about ulner tendonitis. That U c L is really an important ligament. That's
the ligament that they repair with Tommy John surgery. So I would be worried if I was a Tigers fan or a Fantasy Baseball owner of Michael Fullmer. Let's keep it moving, though, and talk about what I did last night, because I gotta spend some time on this, because, boy, if you listen to me last night on the Fantasy Freestyle and you went ahead and used the two pitchers I gave you, you took all the money, Okay. I told you that there was only a ten in the
twelve games slate that there was last night. Nobody was over ten thousand on fan Duel Dallas. Kaiko was the highest. But I told you to fade him because they still hadn't stretched him out right in his return from the d L, and he only went three innings. Excuse me, he went five innings. He went three innings in his first start off the d L. He only went five innings though, and got the loss. Okay, gave up three runs in five innings. That was not the move, Okay.
I gave you two starting pitchers who I thought could have been better and went much cheaper. The first I gave you was because I'm on these Arizona Diamondbacks arms, and it was Zach Godly. Godly went six shutout out innings in the when the wind was blowing in in Wrigley and they beat the Cubs three nothing. So six shutout innings not bad, even cheaper the guy I told you because I was mostly fading the Philadelphia Phillies, I told you to go with J. C. Ramirez last night
at seventies six hundred. Okay, what did he do? He went eight shutout innings as uh. The Angels beat the Phillies seven to nothing. So if you listen to me last night, you got two guys that want to combine fourteen innings and gave up no runs, both of them getting qualities starts and shut out victories. All I know is if you listen to speed, you took home some cash last night, so you might ask yourself self who should I target? Then tonight there are ten games on
the night slate. The highest is Corey Cluber at eleven thousand, one hundred on FanDuel. Listen. Cluber has been a stud striking people out, but he's facing the New York Yankees, who have one of the highest run totals and the biggest offenses in all of baseball. So I think you can do better in that same game. It's worthy of note Sonny Gray making his Yankees debut. He's listed at but I would fade that against this Indians lineup and against Corey Kluberg. Okay, if you want to spend up though,
Alex Wood might be the guy at hundred. He's going against Atlanta tonight. Listen. He strikes out of the lefties he faces, he strikes out of the righties he faces. The only question is will he go six innings to get you that quality start. There have been times that he has not gone that deep. Remember all the more reason I told you when the Dodgers gotten you Darvish at the trade deadline, I mentioned that Kershaw was the only picture they have that usually goes you know that
averages more than six innings to start. Same can be said for Alex would Okay, so that would be the only hiccup there. But I like his strikeout upside, even in that sun Trust Ballpark, which has been playing great two left handed power hitters. But remember I told you yesterday A Matt Adams is still out. He is not in the lineup today, still day to day with that
dizziness that he had now. But if you want to spend much less money on FanDuel, I got two guys for you, all the way down to only seventies seven hundred dollars. I like Parker Bridwell tonight against the Phillies. Remember I was riding J. C. Ramirez against the Phillies last night. I am back at it with the angel starter. This time it's Parker Bridwell. Bridwell has been surprisingly good this year, okay, at two point eight three e r
a four straight quality starts. I think he gets another one tonight, and in those four starts, he's given up a total of five earned runs in twenty six innings. Pitch and remember again, I am fading the Philadelphia Phillies offense. Remember the second lowest run total in all of Major League Baseball, and that certainly didn't change last night when they got shut out by my pick J. C. Ramirez,
the other guy. I want to note, if you're willing to go all the way down, the Oakland A's have activated Kendall Graveman four of the start tonight against the San Francisco Giants. It is at San Francisco. So remember, if you're going from Oakland to on a road start, the ballpark factor is usually a big deal. That is not a big deal going to San Francisco, which is also a pictures park. And remember the Giants offense, there
is no nothing to be scared of. Okay. Um I talked about the Phillies having the third the second lowest run total in all the Major League Baseball the Philly Um, the Giants have the third worst run total. Okay, So I think Kendall Graveman could be valuable at only on fan duel, but What I said, though, is there is football tonight, so fan duel and draft things. They are offering a two game slate with tonight's Hall of Fame game and the first game of the real first week
of the preseason, which happens to be next Wednesday. Okay, so you got tonight the Hall of Fame game Dallas in Arizona, and then next Wednesday, August the first game of the preseason, your first week of the preseason when you have the Houston Texans and the Carolina Panthers. They're putting those two together as a two games slate. Let
me tell you what I'm thinking about this. First of all, if you're playing preseason DFS football, no reason, no, no, uh, nothing better to do, you know, like this is where you're gonna win that cash. Fine, I'm playing it, so I think you should as well. But it may say something about your gambling tendencies if you're playing week one
of the fantasy football season. But maybe this is where you can go, because I do think there are gonna be a lot of fish out there that are like old football and they're just gonna throw some things in their lineup. Remember week one of the preseason, you have a ton of you know, name value guys and starters that won't see the field at all, or if they do,
will only be there for like a series. Okay, you are looking if you're looking for new arrivals, you're looking for kind of people who are competing for, say like the third wide receiver spot, the fourth running back spot. Those are the people who are gonna get burned and play like two quarters worth of action. Okay. And also in the first week of the preseason, in the second half of games, they're not lighting it up, they're doing vanilla stuff. Okay. So you're looking for who's playing in
that like second quarter. That's when you're gonna have actual UM players, okay, that are actually playing. The other thing that I consider is um I would actually go to the tournament here, okay. My man Betty Richardi you may have heard him earlier today on on Target Fantasy, which happens to be the fs w A Award winner for the best radio show out there. That's my man Benny Richardi. That's Jake Sealey and also my man Joey p Joey Pizza Pizza. They say, play the tournaments now because the
sharks are out there and they're playing fifty fifties. They're playing the cash games. Okay, So if you want to throw a lineup out there, do it in a tournament, and remember you don't want the names. Okay. For example, in tonight's game Cardinals and Cowboys, they've already said Carson Palmer is not playing at all. Okay, Drew Stanton man, I'll be playing at all. So I'm about to say
something which you know, Bovona. I don't want you to make this a drop, okay, because I don't really want a record of me ever saying this out loud on air. But I think that Blaine Gathered is a great play for your quarterback spot. Okay, he's the person who's actually going to be playing. And then what you also gotta do is look at at the tight end position. For example, look at which teams. You know, some teams have two tight ends on the roster. Other teams at this point
have five, six tight ends on their roster. You want to go where the options are limited, Okay, So for example in Dallas, you know, for example, in Dallas, you got you know, Jason Witten obviously, but he's not going to be playing a lot in week one of the preseason in the Hall of Fame game. I'm talking about my tight end that I like is Rico Gathers. He is the like backup to the backup in Dallas, and he, in my opinion, is going to actually be on the
field and get snaps and have opportunity. Similarly, I stay away from all of the Houston Texans wide receivers. Why because Will Fuller just got hurt. They're not gonna risk Braxton Miller. They're gonna kinda risk Jalen Strong people like that. Okay, that's what you gotta do. Look at the competitions, look at these guys that they actually want to see, which are not going to be much Okay, And if you're really in there on DFS for week one, more power to you. When we come back. We talked Tampa Bay
Bucks right here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Let's Go Experts dot Com Executives Day rand new for two thousand seventeen, Rhotal Experts dot Com presents the Executive Edge Fantasy Football package.

Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle is Boy Dame Martinez Speeds the spitting Statistician with Chris Bovona, the bounty hunter on the ones in twos Christs bringing do that try cold quest and let me tell you something, Chris.
I don't know if you know this, but um this was the name team of a championship winning fantasy football team I had a few years ago. I had Peyton Manning and you know how he was at the line all the time with Omaha. I named the fantasy football team Omaha, Yes, Oh my God. Off of this song and the omahas that Peyton Manning used to do all the time. So big shout out to all the guys in that league. They know what I'm talking about. But we gotta get into the cipher. Like I said, it
is football. It is officially upon us, so it begins. I hope you feel excited about it like I do. I threw a couple of bucks into a two game DFF slate. I told you about my thinking on that in the last segment. But I got some news and notes that I want to get around. First of all, big news to today, and it's funny. As soon as training camp and practice starts, you start to remember how violent of a game football is and how much people
get hurt. Well, in Miami tonight, quarterback Ryan Tannehill left practice today with a non contact leg injury to his left knee. Remember he tore his left a c L at the end of last season. He's wearing a brace on it. They said he was moving good, but he went down in a non contact injury at practice today.
There have been reports already that the first m R I came back with no significant damage, but since then there have been additional reports that that first m r I is inconclusive and that he is potentially dealing with at least a hyper extension and may have some PCL damage as well. Not good news for the Miami Dolphins and Ryan Tannehill. The interesting part is does this now create a market for Colin Kaepernick. Remember Baltimore we've been talking about now Miami as well. There are going to
be quarterbacks who go down. It is a war of attrition, so uh, keep your eyes tuned for that just in case. Also, more injuries. Remember I said this at the beginning of the baseball season. We're starting to see it now again. I had license certified athletic trainer Thomas low On, and we talked about how hamstring injuries happened early in the season when people are working their way back into like football or baseball shape, and um, there were some of
them today. Jets running back Matt Forte left practice with a hamstring injury, and in Tennessee, UH, DeMarco Murray left with a hamstring injury and Corey Davis left with a hamstring injury. So the hamstrings are something to watch. Eagles wide receiver al Shan Jeffrey, who has a history of soft tissue injuries. He has missed his third straight practice
with a shoulder injury. And then later in the day news broke that Bengals high you know, highly touted rookie running back Joe Mixon left practice did not return with a foot injury. He is listed as day today. Then in Pittsburgh, their backup running back James Conner sprained his shoulder. He is also listed as day to day. Now this is a shame because remember Levan Bell is still unsigned, so there was a great opportunity for James Conner to
start getting reps, even maybe running with the ones. Um. I still think he will be the handcaff, the handcuff to Levy on Bell as opposed to Fitzgerald Toussaint. Remember I always talk about some buzz. There is buzz brewing in Chicago about wide receiver Cameron Meredith. They're saying that he is building chemistry with their starter Mike Glennon. And uh, remember I reported a few days ago Marcus Wheaton is
already injured that wide receiver room is thinning. I know, my man Corey Parsons, the fantasy executive, it's extremely high on Cameron Meredith. Maybe that is founded because uh, you know, it looks like he's building that chemistry with Mike Glennon. Also, I want to send a happy birthday shout out. Tom Brady turns forty today, still doing it. Also, Todd Gurley turns less than forty, So happy birthday to both of those NFL uh studs, shall we say? Keeping it moving though.
I told you we've been previewing the NFC South all week long, and we end that preview today with the Tampa Bay Bucks. Listen, I mentioned my man Corey Parson, the fantasy executive who does the Fantasy Football Frenzy. Also, you can catch him on Rhodo Experts in the morning. He has been incredibly high on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Okay, he's been hyping up Jamis Winston. He's been hyping up O. J. Howard, a lot of tea people. You know, I think that
the Bucks are there, Darling. So when I put up the pole question, which is the over under on the Bucks, A lot of people I expected to take the over. People thought they were a hot team, you know, things like that. I'll tell you if that's the actual truth a little bit later on in the show. But let's go position by position the first off. Like I said,
Jamis Winston at quarterback. Listen, my man Corey Parson has him as q B six right beneath studs like you know uh Russell Wilson and Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. He is very high because he likes all the weapons that have been added to surround him. Remember they signed to Shawn Jackson in the off season.
They drafted O. J. Howard very early. Now, Jamis Winston has thrown for over four thousand yards in both of the season's four thousand ninety yards last year twenty eight touchdowns. But here's the problem. Eighteen interceptions. That is a lot. I also love the weapons that are around there, but can he improve his accuracy? Can he cut the turnovers down?
That will be the critical factor for James Winston. I am not as sold on Jamis Winston as my man Cory is, but I do think he's right in that area of quarterbacks with the Matthew Staffords, with the Kirk Cousins, with the Philip Rivers, with the Cam Newton's, with the guys that I will wait for and get without investing that draft capital. I have him as my quarterback eleven
with tremendous upside. Remember with Mike Evans and d Shawn Jackson now on the sidelines, and they are going to throw the ball all So maybe that is value if you're waiting on quarterback Jamis Winston. If he's still around. He won't be around in any leagues that Corey Parson is in, but he'll be around in most of them. He's my quarterback eleven. At the running back position. I'm
very conflicted here. Doug Martin, their number one running back, is suspended for the first three weeks of the season, Okay, and the thing is my man pop quiz Jock Quiz Rogers. We have heard conflicting reports, Okay. There have been times where they say that Doug Martin looks great and that he's bigger and faster and looking great. There's also been reports that there are no assurances that Doug Martin gets his job back after a week three because of Jock
Quiz Rogers. Right. So I also think that this offense is now built to support Jamis Winston. They are going to be throwing the ball a lot. I am fading the running back room of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I think this is going to wind up being a true committee. And if you spend to get Doug Martin, even though he's out for the first three weeks, I don't know come week seven, eight nine, who's gonna be getting the bulk of the carries. This may be a true committee.
I am staying away from it, and I think you should look elsewhere as well. However, you should look to the wide receivers of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Okay, Mike Evans is an absolute beast. He was wide out four last year nineties six catches, thirteen hundred and twenty one yards and twelve receiving touchdowns. I usually say that touchdowns are flukey for wide receivers. This is one of the few cases where it is not. Mike Evans is a true red zone stud. Mike Evans is a touchdown maker.
He has been doing this ever since he was at Texas A and M with a quarterback named Johnny Football. I think it continues. He is a first round pick. He is a wide receiver stud. I and see you even taking Mike Evans over industry names like A. J. Green. I can see you thinking he is the second, third, or fourth wide receiver off the board. Here's the essential question when it comes to Mike Evans. What is the
impact of the Shawan Jackson? Okay? And I'm in of a conflicted mind here, and I feel the same way when you talk about things like, say the addition of
Brandon Marshall to support Odell Beckham. Now that they have that real number two, you know, part of me would agree with the idea that, oh, now that you have de Shawn Jackson on the other side, coverages can't roll over to Mike Evans, right, So that might think it's better for a guy like Mike Evans, okay, or be better in New York for a guy like Odell Beckham
having Brandon Marshall. However, on the other side of things, the fact that there is now a legit other threat that's gonna take some targets away, Okay, that means he may have fewer targets. And also specifically in Tampa, because Mike Evans and Jamis Winston connected on the most passes of forty yards or more in the NFL last season. Now you bring in DeShawn Jackson, what is DeShawn Jackson? He is a deep threat. I mean, my man has a higher yards per catching anyone in the NFL over
the last few years. He only caught fifty six balls last year. He's still got over a thousand yards. Okay, my man is almost twenty yards per catch. He is truly a deep threat. So I think it's gonna be interesting. But I still love Mike Evans. I think Mike is still a beast. The only caveat I have is if
DeShawn Jackson takes some of those deep ball threats. What I also want to tell you, okay, and if you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, first of all, download the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app. This way you get me, You get Benny Richardi, Tony Tony Sencada, you get Matt Modica, you get Scott Angle, Corey Parson, Greg Sussman, the whole crew, and you get it for free. Okay. But if you're just new to the game, I think DeShawn Jackson is a great option.
And what's called the best ball formats where you don't have to pick your guys every week and have some on the bench. What you do is you have your entire team and it's just like who has the best right, So in those games when DeShawn Jackson pops off, there are going to be games this season when DeShawn Jackson has four catches for a hundred thirty yards and two touchdowns. That is great in the best ball format. Okay, So I like Deshan Jackson as a best ball format kind
of guy. I'm a little bit worried about what he means for Mike Evans. Or maybe it means that coverages are now rolled over to support DeShawn Jackson. Covering DeShawn Jackson, you know, when when as uh, you know, guy to have a safety over the top for DeShawn Jackson, maybe that means more fantasy goodness for Mike Evans. When we come back, they'll remember we're doing hashtag Bust week on
the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. When we come back, we're gonna get into my bust for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and we're gonna look at that scared Joel to see if the over is the right play or if the under is the right play. All that and more. You still got time to vote though at F and T s Y Radio at spitting Speeds. All right, we're gonna come on right back here on the Fantasy Freestyle on

Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, of course, also on American Forces Radio Network. For all the service men and women out there, Thank you for all that you do around the world and our sports
Byline affiliates listening around the country. Before the break, we were breaking down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are a lot of people think could be a team on the rise, that kind of sexy, chic surprise pick to make a big leap, and a lot of people think that it is because of their third year quarterback Jamis Winston and all of the weapons that they surrounded him with. We talked about the Shawn Jackson already, but I also mentioned that I gotta go to hashtacnic busts because we're doing
bust week here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. And unfortunately, my bust for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is the entire tight end position. Okay, So I'm talking about Cameron Brad and rookie out of Alabama O J. Howard. And here's why. Okay, Cameron Brad. Last year, he was the seventh highest scoring tight end in all of Fantasy with his fifty seven touchdowns,
six hundred sixty eight yards and eight touchdowns. Here's the thing, though, remember I said it before, except for Mike Evans, touchdowns are flukey. I don't see him getting eight touchdowns again this year. And if that drops a little bit, that means he's not in the top ten of tight ends. And here's the other issue. The tight end position is going to now be split with the new incoming tight end O J. Howard. As you know if you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, I think tight end is the
hardest position to master. In the NFL, making that switch from college to the NFL, because you have to learn the entire route tree, and you have to learn the entire blocking scheme because you are part of technically the offensive line as well, right, and so it takes an adjustment even for big time tight ends that are coming into the lead. Remember Vernon Davis early on, remember Eric Ebron early on. These guys that not blow up in their rookie year. I don't think that will happen with
O J. Howard either. Now, my man, Corey Parson is very high on him. Okay, he thinks that O J. Howard is a better talent than Cameron Braid and should be drafted ahead of Cameron Brady has mess tight end the leven and bradst tight end sixteen. I think they are going to eat into each other's production. And here's the other thing. This passing offense also just signed the Sean Jackson. Like I said in the offseason, that is
gonna eat into their target share. Okay, So for me, I know a lot of people might be high on O J. Howard. A lot of people might be like, wow, Cameron brad was a top ten tight end last year. I'm gonna tell you neither one of these guys is going to be a top ten tight end this year. They're going to eat into each other's production. And so that's why when we're doing Hashtag Bust week here the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, the whole tight end position for the Tampa Bay Bucks is my bus. But here in
the fantasy freestyle, Chris, you know what we do. We call them here my fantasy gaze forget about them, He says, what what is? These guys are gonna be phony when you think about it, and so you can go elsewhere production at tight end. Okay, let's look at the schedule here for the Tampa Bay Bucks. A lot of people are high on them. Um. Remember yesterday when we were talking about the Carolina Panthers, and part of the reason I was taking the over on the Panthers was their
non divisional road games. Okay, their road games, which is obviously harder in the NFL, but they had trips to like dormats of the NFL. The Panthers yesterday when we went over it. They have a trip to go to the Jets, to go to the Bears, to go to the forty Niners. That helps them in their schedule because they get the tougher ones in that division at home. It's the exact opposite for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Okay,
this division, they play the a f C East this year. Okay, And so I thought it was good for the Panthers because they went on the road to New England, but that's a loss anyway. And they went on the road to the Jets, and that's a win anyway. It's the exact opposite for the Tampa Bay Bucks. Okay, they get to host the Jets, probably gonna be a win. They get to host the Patriots, but that's probably gonna be a loss one way or another because people think, happy birthday,
Tom Brady that they're going sixteen and oh regardless. Right, But those two middle teams of the division, those are the kind of matchups that you want to have at home. The Bucks do not. They go to Buffalo in week seven and it's on the back to back road trip where they play the Arizona Cardinals on the road the week before, So they have to go from Tampa Bay all the way across country to Arizona in week six and then back all the way across the country to
Buffalo in Week seven. That doesn't set up all for them. They also they play the Miami Dolphins on the road week one of the season in the Dolphins home opener. Now, I know there's news about Ryan Tannehill today, but we still haven't gotten that. And regardless, it will be the home opener for the Dolphins, So I think that does not help them. Okay, So for that reason, with the over under that we have up on the pole, I am taking the under on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I
still think they are a year away. I think the Falcons are still there. I think the Panthers are still there. I think the Bucks slide in with the Saints competing for the you know, to stay out of the basement of the n f C South. So right now, of the people out there they agree with me, let me bring in the bounty hunter, Chris Bovona, What do you think about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, my friend? Do you think that um Jamis Winston deserves to be as high
as the fantasy executive as him as quarterback six? And what do you think the impact of having DeShawn Jackson does to Mike Evans though you think it helps him or hurt him. What do you think about the bucks here? I actually don't see Jamis Winston being any higher than a top ten quarterback. I will give him top ten, uh I make him. I would say he's a top ten for me. If I'm gonna be picking him in G S T, I might want to get him in like the eighth or ninth round. Maybe I actually love
the signing of DeShawn Jackson for Mike Evans specifically. Yes, it's a matter of fact that DeShawn Jackson to me, he's always been that boomer bus title receive. That's why leagues it's good exactly. And in this case specifically, I think that you're gonna have a lot of guys going after DeShawn Jackson as he goes to basically just kind
of run. He's basically run to the end zone. That's what Jamison Jameis Winson is gonna do when he sees the Shawan Jackson, He's just gonna see if you can throw it down to the end zone, see if he can out Jason ore Formats. Though Mike Evans will probably be a PPR East for that matter. Okay, okay, so that's what we think there's definitely some fantasy goodness. I think this offense is going to become more prolific. If that translates to wins for the Tampa Bay Bucks this year,
I'm not so sure. I am still taking the under on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. All right, Chris, you know we put the fun and functional sports Radio here on the Fantasy Freestyle. In the last couple of you know, days, weeks, months, we've been talking about LaVar Ball. I know you mentioned yesterday you don't want to hear anymore about it. You know who else doesn't want to hear any more about it, Shaquille O'Neal. Okay, and so Shaquille O'Neill. Remember former rapper
Shack fou He dropped a dis track about LaVar Ball. Okay, and I know you've been clamoring for it. We teased it a little bit yesterday on the show. So Chris, I think it's time. I think it is time for us to play. We're gonna play. I don't know about a minute, minute and a half of this. What I want to know is, first we're gonna Chris, when we come back, we're gonna analyze here. Do we think Shack was a good rapper. And also you know some of the barbs he throws at LaVar Ball. You know we're
gonna judge some of those. Okay, Chris, you feel good about that? Sounds good? So let's uh, let's hit the listeners right now with Shacks, ditch track about LaVar Ball. Stay tuned, guys, check it out. Dudes talking loud. I don't understand walking around. I think the two pick all the tenement. How do you think that I'm about to spit facts? I walk and read about the ninety two. I came out with the Shacks. I've been doing this a gone time when it was averaging two points right
up the pine. You see my sweet shirts, you see my feet work hit Faller brand. That was me first. You're beating me. That's a puncher cologney. You think you male? Man? You ain't even check maloney. When did you play U? What? Here? Oh? Here? You played for Dallas and damp here do you want the battle ds? You better have endurance before you crash, man, get that general roll assurance or get some icy hot rubbing on your fat before break that ground with Shack.
Sit down, man, you be doing the most. You know your asses barbacue chicken in the post. First you can beat Mike, then you can beat me. Fake that ass up. You're having a dream and when you wake up, apologize and found out to my Staples Center statue hanging off the side of the building. Excuse me, Areena, I feel like Martin? Would this flow? Damn Gina, You've been caught up in a rapture. And when you watch your gold play,
look up in the raptors. You'll see Magic Johnson, you see Jerry West, you see Kareemp do your bar cab. He was the best. But get ball bla brand. Trust I am not. I hope you get the match up by telephone effects. Two more things. I got to say, you did a great job. I love by your son's play. A little mellow, two out of tude, hell a cool jumper, wet wet like two cops in the pool. Okay, okay, okay, that's shock bringing that heat. That's shock bringing that heat.
I gotta tell you something. I think it was not bad. You know Chris, he was first of all, he's talking about how he did it with his shoe brand back when he was like the first big guy to sign with Reebok back in saying big ball O brand just trying to follow in his footsteps. He talks about that he's been doing it a long time, since he's been scoring two points roding the pine. I think he land
based in him right there. He's also telling LaVar to look up in the rafters where his son plays and he'll see, you know, Shock's jersey hanging there, and he'll see the statue outside of the arena. I also like that he broke out the Martin reference, Damn Gina. But then at the end, what I think is interesting is he praises LaVar ball for his parenting skills, and I think that's pretty interesting. Says he thinks a lonzo is nice that he thinks LaMelo has got a wet shot,
a wet shot. I like that. Also, you know, we didn't hear it, but at one point he also calls himself the black Michael Rappaport. So I kind of like what I did here roasting him a little bit, but then give him in a little bit of a side props for his parenting skills, which you know, I think it's kind of interesting. Uh, Bounty Hunter, what is your take, listen man? Uh? For me, Shack. I'll always remember the song he did with the Fush Niggins Shack, Shack, who
can we rock? What's up? He's not? He I never thought he was a terrible rapper. I actually thought he was one of the better rappers that was in his Sam days, right, Yeah, exactly. I think it was before that too. I think he's one of the better entertainers, uh to come out of the athlete world, especially in the NBA. I mean, like we talked about guys like Imon Schumper, Alan Iverson you know, tried it, and I think those guys are pretty much just kind of falling
flat as flat as Iman Schumper's hair. Um Shack is really the one who has still done it. He did and you know what, he did it with his dis tracks. He did it now with Kobe, also with Coby. Tell me how my tastes, you know? Is next we're gonna find that. We're gonna let's see. Yeah, that would be interesting, That would be very interesting. You should tweet at Shack
and ask him that very question. But we gotta keep it moving though, Chris, because as you know, we are crowning the best sports movie of all time, and yesterday we had our first one seed go down the sand Loot did in fact take out Field of Dreams? We keep the dream uh you know theme going we go to the basketball region. Number one seed, Hoop Dreams is up against the five seeds Space Jam. Now, Chris, I know you have had beef with Hoop Dreams for a while,
saying it is a documentary and not a movie. But listen, Space Dram is an animated movie. So I gotta find out how you feel about this. The other thing I would ask you, you know, we've had such recency bias here. I wonder if our younger audience even remembers Space Jam, or if that's too far ago, you know, like and right now would it be lebron right instead of Michael Jordan's And who would it be like his Banana Boat Crew, Carmelo CP three, Dwayne Raid I don't know. Listen, right
now we have another upset brewing. Okay, Space Jam is up big on Hoop Dreams. With my man Howie Balaban has said m J and bugs can't go wrong. We may have another one seed going down Bivona. I want to get your thoughts, but first, I know we have to take a commercial break when we come back, We're definitely gonna hear your thoughts on this, but space Jam is trumping and I use that pun intended on Hoop Dreams.
Right now, with seventy of the vote and of you say take the under on the Tampa Bay Bucks, we'll see if that line moves, and we'll also get Chris Bavona's thoughts on this movie matchup when we come back right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network into the service men and women out there listening on American Forces Radio Network, We'll be

Welcome back, to the Fantasy freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're gonna get to Chris's take on this. Hoop Dreams are Space Jam matchup in a second. But I just wanted to mention one thing. You mentioned Alan Iverson in that tirade about rappers basketball rappers, and I remember I told you about
his no show in Dallas for the Big Three. Well, it came out that he has been suspended for one game in the Big Three seasons. So now Alan Iverson becomes the answer quote unquote to another trivia question of who is the first person suspended in the new Big Three league? Allen Iverson will be suspended for one day game for his no show. All right, Chris, Space Jam versus Hoop Dreams. I know you don't like the documentary Whose Dreams are you with? My man, Howie Balaban on
Space Jam, you're riding with them. I don't hate Hoop Dreams, the documentary. I hate Hoop Dreams as a movie. In this tournament, it's not a movie. If you want to do the greatest of all time documentaries, I don't think I could fill sixty four documentary. You know what I think you could? There are so many great ones, and you know what, we could have a whole sports tournament. But that being said, I want to get over this.
There is no doubt in my mind. You know what it Yeah, it's an animated movie, but yeah, it's a live action animated movie. It is Space Jamp, It's Danny DeVito, it's Bill Murray and cameos, Larry Bird playing golf with Michael Jordan's You really cannot get better than this. As a dumb it's a dumb movie, but it's a great you know, it's a fantastic movie. It's a fun movie. There's no doubt in my mind. Space Jam moving on to the Elite eight, it looks that way. Let me
tell you something, space Jam dominating the one seed. This might be the round where one seeds go down. Last night it was Field of Dreams that went down tonight. It looks like Hoop Dreams is gonna go down. That doesn't mean good things for the other one seeds in this tournament, Rudy in the football movies and Rocky in the wild card region. We might have to see what happens tomorrow. If Rocky can you know, hold the mantle for the one seeds the last thing I want to
tell you, because you're never gonna hear this again. Lineups lock for the first football DFS contest of the season. We got a two game slate, including the Hall of Fame game tonight. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but based on snap count and playing time, I am recommending Blaine Gabbert as a quarterback in DFS. Let me know how it works out for you. Hollow at me tomorrow at spitting speeds. I'll be here, Hopefully I'm not eating humble pie. Come on back tomorrow with your boy.
