So happy to have you guys here join us on Fantasy Freestyle where we give you what you need to win your league and win that cash. I got my boy Donnie Burns with me on a one and twoes today, uh, helping us blow up like a Samsung seven. Let me give you some news and notes from around the league.

In baseball, First of all, you guys need to know Mookie Bets as the flu. He's only tentative for the Red Sox game tomorrow. To keep an eye on that as it moves forward. It looks like the flu is going through that Red Sox locker room. Garrett Richards was

removed from yesterday's start with a bicet cramp. He's not even gonna have to have an m r I. But this does sound alarm bells to me personally, because, as you know, Garret Richards is returning from that you know that elbow injury that kept him out of most of last year. Texas Rangers manager Jeff Bannister sells Sam Dyson is still his closer, even though he gave up eight runs in two appearances so far on the young season. Remember, early on in the season is when you can, you know,

play that closer carousel. These jobs are fluid, So maybe keep eye on Matt Bush. I think he might be next in line for the Texas Rangers if Dyson does continue to falter. Even know the manager Jeff Bannister says that it is still Sam Dyson's job for now. A couple of other teams with what I would call fluid closer situations go out to Oakland, where the Athletics manager Bob Melton has said as much that the closer situation is fluid. Keep an eye on who what will be.

It could because it could be Madison, it could be Sean Doolittle, It could even be John Axford next in line to get save chances in Oakland. Um. Also, I would keep an eye on the Toronto Blue Jay's job. Remember Roberto Rosa is out on the d L. He's now throwing off flat ground. I think he's gonna come back after the minimum time served, which means time is running out for Jason Grilly to impress in his brief stint at the Closer there in Toronto, Keyan Broxton was

hit in the face by a pitch today. He has a broken nose. However, he is not gonna go on the d L but you may want to, you know, fade him for the next couple of days um as he is dealing with a broken nose. And also news and note that you need to know. Ryan Howard has signed a minor league deal with the Atlanta Braves. Longtime Philadelphia Philly slugger. Gonna give it a go, try and make the Atlanta Braves. Okay, Now, what we need to

do here is Speeds is gonna spotlight his starters. This is what we're gonna do from day to day because if you're about to play this baseball DFS, if you are new to DFS, what you need to realize is that it's the starters that are going to make or break your lineup on every on any given night. Last night, I gave you three starters that I liked, and you know, I like to hold myself accountable here on the fancy

freestyle your boys Speeds. It's not just throwing out random stuff and then you know not gonna not gonna admit when he was wrong. Okay, I gave you three pictures last night. Two out of the three of them went real well. I told you to go with Jacob deGrom at nineties hundred. I was even he was not the highest priced option, but I told you that I really liked what he was gonna do because he had that

strikeout potential. He went six innings of scoreless ball last night, struck out six guys, got you a quality start, and to be honest, that was the best you could do for a lot of the starters last night. Why because a lot of games happened to go into extra innings last night. But Jacob Degram but a nice little return on his value. So I would consider that a nice

little call by your boys Speeds, the spitting statistician. I also told you if you wanted to go all the way down and get some value on fan duel, I liked that only sixty four hundred dollars you could have got Charlie Morton on the Houston Astros. I gave you that last night and he delivered. Also, he went six innings, he only gave up two runs, struck out four. He got to a quality start. Again. He didn't get the win because the Astros needed thirteen innings to win their

game five to three. Those are the two guys that I gave you that I think actually worked out pretty well. I will tell you this though. My third recommendation was trying to give you some value at sixties seven hundred. I tried to give you Jarrell Cotton. I thought that Cotton was gonna have a decent game against the Los Angeles Angels because I like that huge ballpark out there in Oakland with all the foul tyrattory. I also thought that Angel's lineup was Mike Trout and a lot of

also rans. Unfortunately, the team of also rans got to Darrell Cotton. He only went four and a third. He gave up five runs, only striking out four. He was settled with the loss, and the Angels did in fact win five to nothing. So I was too out at three on those starters that I gave you last night. Let's look at the starters for this uh for tonight's late If you're looking at tonight's late there's only four games. There's only four games, so there's only eight starters to

choose from. To me, there's only two that I think are worth the price. So there are two that I'm gonna tell you that we're gonna keep ourselves accountable to tonight starters. I'm going with Robbie Ray. Okay, I'm going with Robbie Ray on Family Will. He's at seventies six hundred. And here's why. Out of all these pictures that you have the opportunity to grab on tonight's slate and somebody might still have the late spot being able to do this, Robbie Ray is the only one with the k upside. Okay,

strikeouts are big. You need these strikeout pictures. I'm looking for starters that are at home. I'm looking for starters that are against you know, nondescript kind of offenses, and I'm looking for starters with strikeout potential. And Robbie Ray takes a couple of those boxers. He is at home, he's up against San Francisco Giants, and uh, you know, he's not that great against right E's I would say, you know, uh, And bust Posey is in that lineup.

But Robbie Ray put up two hundred and eighteen strikeouts last year. You cannot get that kind of strikeout upside with any of the other pictures in my opinion on tonight's slate. So my number one choice or tonight's late at seventies six hundred on Van Duel is Robbie Ray in his start at home against the San Francisco Giants. My number two starter for you today. There's also a kind of middle price option at seventy five hundred on

Fan Duel, I would go with Marcus Stroman. I think Marcus Stroman is an option for you, UM on the road against the Tampa Bay Rays. Tampa Bay Rays who took two out of three from the Yankees. They remain at home. But here's the thing. I like Stroman as a groundball pitcher in that ballpark. Um, his groundball ratios are out of control. You saw him in the w b in the final, throwing um great ball through six

innings against Puerto Rico in the WBC Final. But Um, the only thing that would cause me concern is, you know, groundballs on that astroids are down there in Tampa Bay, one of the only fields that still has turf. And also his strikeouts are not you know, it doesn't have the same kind of ceiling as Robbie Ray when it comes to Stroman strikeouts. But I still think that he is is worth it at He's my the only other

starter that I'm going with on this slate. There are three pictures, however, that I'm gonna tell you to fade today, Okay, on the slate tonight. The first one is Matt Harvey. Okay, Matt Harvey at eight three hundred higher price stops and than Stroman Array, who I'm giving you. Let me tell you something. I'm here at Rock and Riley's for the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, here in Studio thirty four in New York City, across the street from Madison Square Garden

in the shadow of the Empire State Building. And let me tell you something. It's nsty out here today. It's been raining, it's been pouring. I don't know that this game that has gone off as scheduled in City Field might have a little bit of a a lay. I think weather is a factor. And remember Matt Harvey coming back from that thoracic injury was very injury riddled all

last season. I can see a quick hook because of this bad weather, or that he will not make it, you know, through the six innings that he needs in order to get a quality start. Remember the weather concern for me there, So I would fade Matt Harvey today. Another guy that I'm fading is down in that Tampa Toronto game. At every seven hundred, you can get Blake Snell. Let me tell you something, I am not playing against that Toronto lineup. I love Donaldson, you gotta love Kendry's morales.

I like that lineup is a high powered offense, So do not give me Blake Snell. The other thing is Snell. Snell has control issues, okay, and last year, in his first year up, he did not necessarily have command. And that's a problem. You know, you need to strike out guys. I don't want any of those extra um runners on base because of the walk. So I am fading Snell. I'm fading Harvey. I also, uh, you know, I am not gonna pay up all the way at eight hundred

for Jeff Smart. Your my starters on tonight's slate are Stroman and Ray. I gave you Jacob deGrom, I gave you Charlie Morton yesterday. You gotta talk, You gotta listen to my boy let Speeds, the spitting statistician. But let me tell you something, there's other ways for you to make some cash.

Little news for your real quick they put the tarp on down and watching in DC. That game is being delayed in the middle of the six right now, on the top of the second, Braves and Mets our scoreless, and in the bottom of the first the Blue Jays and the Tampa

Bay Rays are also scores. They want to switch gears though a little bit and get into the cipher give you news and notes here on the National Football League. First of all, Amazon, Amazon has won the bid to stream Thursday night Football. They paid fifty million dollars for the rights for a ten game package. Just last year it was Twitter that was streaming Thursday Night Football. They paid ten million dollars for the same package. Obviously, everyone is trying to cut the cord and this is only

going to continue. Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is apparently on the trading trade block. G M John Schneider says the team is willing to listen and has fielded calls on Richard Sherman. Pete Carroll have also said that Richard Sherman went through a lot last year, most of it self inflicted. If you remember earlier on in the season, Richard Sherman was kind of vocal when once again the Seattle Seahawks tried to throw the ball from the one yard line.

Remember how that worked out in the Super Bowl. I think this might happen. I think this might happen. We're hearing now that the Patriots may be involved. We're hearing that the Eagles may potentially be involved. So keep an eye out on that. Richard Sherman on the block. Nick Mangold visited the Baltimore Ravens today, but he did not sign a deal. They are saying though his campus saying that he might be okay with a move to guard.

The New York Football Giants are also in play there, and Adrian Peterson is set to visit the New Orleans Saints. Remember he visited the Patriots. Were also getting reports that the Tampa Bay Bucks saying that they are not that Peterson and not in their plans. Peterson campus saying three to five teams seemed to be interested. It sounds like the New Orleans Saints are one of them. Keep you going here and speeds his cipher. Remember I told you at the top of the show that had a pole

question up. Does Rob Gronkowski get special treatment from the NFL that kind of allows him to like have fun and brand himself in a way that other football players do not get. I gotta tell you, I think, I think absolutely Rob Gronkowski has a double standard. I mean, just in the last couple of weeks, my man was at the Daytona five hundred act in the Fool. My man got into WrestleMania and like actually participated in a match. My man was at the opening day at Fenway, stealing

Tom Brady's jersey, running around like a crazy man. Don't forget my man, the Gronkowski has had a booze cruise in essence last year, sponsored by the Gronkowski I like to call it the S S X the SEE. But here's my question. What would happen if some of these other players were, you know, basically doing some of the some of the antics for lack of a better term, that we see with Rob Gronkowski. I don't think it would fly in the same way my man, Rob Gronkowski

had a booze cruise. What do you think would happen if Odell Beckham in the off season was like, you know what, Yeah, I'm gonna brand myself and have this O D B boat, you know, and have a cruise just like we did before the playoff game. I don't think everyone would be like, oh my god, that's so much fun, ha ha ha. Like with Rob Gronkowski, I don't think that would be the case. What if Cam Newton decided to, you know, participate or get asked and

participate in WrestleMania. I don't think that would be the case. It'd be like, Oh, you gotta worry about your health, Cam, what about the shoulder? Oh what about the hits? Your roll taken. No, no, no, but what Rub Gronkowski, Oh my god, it's so amazing. Ha ha ha. He's so funny. What would happen if Lady on Bell was running around mocking things that happened with his team. You saw what happened a few weeks ago when he uh, you know, accepted that invitation to go to the prom that got

shut down real quick. So I don't think if Rob Gronkowski, I think he does, in fact enjoy a double standard. And think about this like Colin Kaepernick, my man has basically been banned from, you know, sign with NFL teams. I think the collusion going on with the own ones. But Rob Gronkowski, no, no, no, it's all good. Check it out. We gotta pull up there right now on that f N T S Y radio Twitter handle. Let me know what you think. Do you think there is

a double standard when involving Rob Gronkowski? Speed says yes and right now, And I look at that poll sixte of you agree with me? If you want to talk to me about it, you and we got a whole half hour left to go. Holler at me at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine, keep it a going here in the cipher and staying with football. Marshawn Lynch with the Seattle Seahawks permission, is talking to

the Oakland Raiders. Now, I think this is a nice little story, beast mode coming back, unretiring to go home, you know, to play with the Oakland Raiders. You know, he does a lot of work in the community. And I think that that's fine, and I think, you know,

he's actually a kind of a great fit there. Remember lettaus Murray last year was part of a three headed monster Hello Jalen Richard along with DeAndre Washington and and Murray was kind of like the between the tackles guy, the first and second down guy, the goal line back. There is no better between the tackles or goal line back right now than Marshawn Lynch. He's rested, you know, being in his hometown. I like it from a pure

football sense. But my problem is, why would Marshawn Lynch, who is very conscious of his own brand, okay, very conscious ever since between the Skittles and I'm just trying to not define suff you see him on commercials, why would he jump in to this public relations nightmare that

is the Oakland Raiders and their eminent move to Las Vegas. Now, if you've been listening to Fantasy Freestyle and Your Boys Speeds the Spitting Stats station here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, maybe our Sports Byline and our American Forces Network listeners are a little new to this, but I've been talking about this move from the Raiders to Vegas and how it has become a lose lose situation for

everybody involved. Okay, the Oakland Alameda County Authority is saying that they don't even want them necessarily playing two thousand eighteen and two thousand nineteen before their inevitable move to Las Vegas in two thousand twenty. Now, it's also horrible for the Fins. If you're a Raiders fan, what do you do protest against this team that's on the precipice of actually being good, building a young core with guys like Marii Cooper, Leo Mac Mr Carr? You know, what

do you do? Do you cheer for this team? Do you protest this team? Now? I got new news though, do you know Raiders actually now still oh the Oakland colisseum eight hundred thousand dollars in debt from their parking lot bills. How crazy is that we are now finding out that the county, the Colosseum can actually take this up as a reason to kick the Raiders out of the stadium. Right now, they have defaulted on over eight hundred thousand dollars on on what amounts to parking tickets.

This is horrible. Okay, the board could literally kick the Raiders out without a home. I'm telling you right now, maybe not this year for the two thousand seventeen season, but for the two thousand eighteen and two thousand nineteen season.

Speeds and Spitting Statistician is calling his shot. The Raiders are gonna wind up either playing in San Antonio or playing in Vegas at the ULV Stadium, or basically being on a road tour with games in like Mexico City and London and all around the globe as a traveling band. Marshawn Lynch, do you really really want to get involved in this? I don't think so. Let me you know

what you think. You can holler at me at Spitting Speeds on Twitter, at F and T s Y radio, and you could also call me at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. My boy, Donnie Burns downstairs will be happy to take your calls. He's helping us blow up like a Samsung seven so hot

that we sweat steam keeping it moving. Another thing I want to talk to you guys about in the spher here on the Fantasy Freestyle again if you listen to the show, um, you know, giving a little bit of insight into our new listeners on the Sports Byeline stations and the American Forces Network. We have been talking almost every day about Lonzo Ball and and by association, his dad, LaVar Ball. And we have news here, Um, a Lonzo Ball has decided to file the paperwork. He is declaring

for the draft, and he has hired an agent. Okay, but here's the thing. The agent, there's nothing more than a contract lawyer. Hi, it's guy has some gains of slash spoorts. He's basically just be the agent for contractual purposes. He's a contract lawyer. You know what it really means. Unfortunately, in my opinion, this means that LaVar Ball is going to be his de facto agent. It's gonna be his daddy being his agent. And as you know, you know,

LaVar Ball just will not stop sucking. Whether it's about his triple B brand, whether it's about how he could beat Michael Jordan's or Charles Barkley talking smack to the high school coach of love Alonzo's little brothers. You know, I don't know if this is really a good move. I've seen it before. You may remember Mike Conley Sr. Did this for Mike Conley did this for some other guys at Ohio State, like Greg Odin back in the day, about ten years ago. But listen, Mike Conley himself was

in the NBA. He was him self a gold medalist, you know. And to be quite honest, Mike Conley's you know, a legit all star NBA players. You've got some average there. I don't think this is the case with LaVar Ball. LaVar Ball has alienated everybody over the course of the last couple of months. Working contracts and negotiating in the NBA is something like an inside boys network. You know.

You hear about Maverick Carter and guys like that. You need to be on the inside with those guys in order to effectively, in order to effectively negotiate in the NBA. And I don't think that's the case. Remember he's already out there asking for billions of dollars and a joint deal pretty much and like doubling down on all this. I'm telling you a Lonzo ball. Please. I hope you're listening right now, and maybe you are on one of the sports Byline affiliates that we have joined us here

on Fantasy Freestyle. You need to tell you need to fire father Alonzo. You need to fire your father. Okay, he's basically he's basically like the Art of the Deal as per Donald Trump. You know this is an inside network. I don't think it's gonna help you. All it's gonna do is make people in the league be more angry about you, because now you're gonna have LaVar hopping off even more. I think this is a bad look. I think you need to go out there and hire a

real agent and not keep it in the family. Here's the other thing, you know, Like, do you think Alonzo actually knows about how to prepare you for the draft? We now see all these shows leading up to the draft. These people go to like the i MG academies and all this stuff to do very specific training to get you ready. With with LaVar as his agent, that is

not what's gonna happen. What's gonna happen instead of doing all the training and all the all the other workouts you need for the exact right things, you know, the calf raises for all that stuff. Instead, but you're gonna be doing it's gonna be on first take, and you're gonna be on you know, around the Horn and all these other shows. You're gonna be doing it only for the pr standpoint and not from what you need to get ready to truly be an effective top five pick.

I'm telling you right now, Spee the spitting statistician says this is a bad move for Alonzo. When we come back, you caller at me at four eight, four, three, six, eight seven nine. We're gonna put the fun and functional Sport Radio talk about all this, some of our poll questions, and a couple of things more. I'm gon boy Dane Martinez on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come all right

back after this. You know what it is Martinez, and you're listening live to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy Freestyle. Here we do it Monday through Friday from seven to eight pm, where we hold you down and give you everything you need to win your leagues and win that cash.

A little bit earlier on in the show, I talked about how I think that the NFL has a double standard when it comes to Rob Gronkowski's antics, and so far on that poll, seventy four percent of you agree with me, and I'm saying that, yes, there is a

double standard when it comes to Rob Gronkowski's behavior. You know, I could just imagine if Cam Newton was doing some of this stuff, you know, earlier throughout the season, I had the hashtag all qbs matter, and I think that definitely applies here when we look at what Rob Gronkowski does, and just imagine if Odell Become was doing some of the same things. But I gotta tell you, I am very, very excited, Donnie Burns. Today is the final four of

the TV Greatest of All Time Tournament. We have been doing this since March Madness kicked off for all of our new listeners on Sports Byline affiliates and from the American Forces Network. We have been striving to crown the greatest TV show of all time. We had sixteen sitcom sixteen dramas, sixteen animated shows, and sixteen reality shows, and we have had people voting. Thanks to the hundreds of people that went out and vote on all those polls. Remember you could always do that at F and T,

s Y Radio, at Spitting Speeds on Twitter. And we have the final four in the final four facing off today. So we have one seeds battling it out on one side of the bracket, where the champion of the sitcom region was the number one seed Seinfeld, and it's going up against the number one seed of the animated bracket, the Simpsons. Both of them moved on and beat the two seeds in their regions to get to the final four. On the other side of the bracket, we do not

have one seeds. Although many people think that this show that came out of the Drama region should have been a one seed. They were the two seed though they made it to the final four. The two seed in the Drama region is Breaking Bad and it is there in the final four up against what has to be the Cinderella of this entire tournament. A ton of people were voting every single round. This show was winning by margins. It's the champion of the reality TV bracket seven seed Cops.

So tonight we got the Polls Up at Spitting Speeds at F and T s Y Radio Breaking Bad Verse, Cops and Seinfeld Verse The Simpsons. Donnie Burns, I know you've been following this throughout the entire tournament, and I know you've been thinking. You know, you've been telling me that you thought Um Seinfeld was gonna do work. You've been telling me you thought Cops was a big favorite of our listeners. It has moved on. How do you think these play out? Let's talk first, Um Seinfeld verse Simpsons.

That's the chalk to number one seeds. How do you think that's gonna go down? Donnie? Yes, So I like this number one matchup, and it's not maybe the reason you think I actually like because they're both comedies, but one represents kind of of reality in New York. This is an animated like you know what I mean, it's like well New York or Springfield, you know what I mean. That's so it's kind of cool. I still have Seinfeld. I've been rolling with them since the beginning. So, but

I like this matchup because of that. Yeah, this is a matchup of heavyweights. Remember if you feel strongly about Seinfelder Simpsons. Moving on to the championship, we will crown the greatest TV show of all time. On tomorrow's episode of The Fantasy Freestyle. What about this other one? I think this is where it could go either way. Donnie, we got Breaking Bad, which you know is an amazing show.

My boy Benny Riccardi on the DFS Lineup Block Show, which you hear uh six to seven pm Monday through Friday. He thinks Breaking Bad is gonna win this whole tournament. They are still alive, but they're going up against the Cinderella Cops a Donnie Burns. How do you see this one breaking a little Heisenberg versus real time? Can the real cops take down Walter White and Heisenberg with that blue sky? The thing with the cops that you're not in saying, like everyone kind of like watches, like they

like watching because they want to see what happens. But a lot for a lot of people, it's a reality. For some people, you know, it's like a real thing. So I guess that could be another reason why it's been moving on. You know, I'm still rolling with cops, I mean rolling up to advance the finals and be one of the and be one of the two greatest TV shows of all time. You're comfortable calling Cops one of the two greatest TV shows of all time better than Breaking Bad moving on to the finals of TV

Goat Tournament, of course. And if you've ever watched Cops, I feel like there's like there's like an infinite amount of you know, videos like very there's no shortage of content for that show. The comedy, it's reality, it's a drama. Fair enough, fair enough, and you know what that that's um that's interesting. You say that I had someone asked me why and you know, I don't think we've spoken about this, Donnie. If someone asked me on Facebook, why um w w E Monday Night Raw was not in here?

And someone and and someone said that it could you reminded me of it because someone said it could have been a drama, It could have been a reality show. It could have been a comedy show. You know, it really would have fit in any of the realm put it though, if you were if you had to put it in right now as one reason would would have been under for you. At least that's a good question. Um so, I guess not animated, right, but um not comedy.

I would have called it either a drama or a reality drama just because I've heard many people before I talk about it as a male soap opera. You know, so, I guess I would have gone into the drama region, but the drama region is so stacked. But check this out for the next twenty two hours. It looks like you can still vote on these matchups breaking Bad Verse Cops in one Final four matchup, and Seinfeld versus Simpsons

and the other matchup. At the end of the show, I'll let you know how the votes are going, but there's plenty of time. Please get out there on Twitter vote in these polls. You could also follow us at fn T s Y Radio at Spitting Speeds. If you want to talk about it, you can at four eight four three six eight seven nine. You can also let me know if you agree at seventy four percent of the people do right now that yes, Rob Gronkowski does get preferential kind of uh double standard treatment here in

the NFL. But check it out to our new listeners. You may not know just yet, but here at the Fantasy Freestyle Speeds and Spitting Statistician, we're not just giving you okay, We're not just giving you which pictures to play in DFS. When we get to football season, we're not only giving you who to play to win your leagues and win net cash. I gave you over unders, I give you who to bet. But we also here on Fantasy Freestyle, we put the fund in Functional Sports Radio.

I like to tell you a couple of story that I throw a little bit off the beaten path that we want to have a little bit of fun with. And that's how we close out every show where we put the fund in Functional Sports Radio. So there are a couple of topics here that I want to get you. First of all. I don't know if you saw this, Donnie Burns, but um, Jeffrey Lauria, the owner of the Miami Marlins, has said that he's open to selling the franchise. Okay,

he's open to selling the Miami Marlins. He paid a hundred and fifty eight million dollars for the Marlins back in two thousand and two. He's expecting bids to come in between eight hundred million and one point six billion. Yes that is billion with a B dollars. So that's a nice little return for Jeffrey Laurea if he sells

the Miami Marlins. But the interesting part here is one of the groups that are looking to buy the Miami Marlins is headed up or at least has as its face, the former captain of the New York Yankees number two, Derek Getah. So Jeter, it's interesting, you know, you think about what these retired players are doing. You know, Tony Romo this week retiring going to broadcasting. We see a lot of people going into broadcasting. Earlier on in the week, I also talked about how happy I was for retired

Patrick Ewing to get a head coaching job. You know, so it's either broadcasting or coaching. You know. John Lynch, after some time broadcasting, is now the general manager of San Francisco forty Niners. You see Elway in the front office. But it looks like Derek Jeter is going the Michael Jordan's route. He is involved in a bid along with a guy named Gregory Fleming is kind of Wall Street

Morgan Stanley executive, to potentially buy the Miami Marlins. Former Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is involved with another group down there in Florida. But um, I think this is the way Jeter is gonna go. I think he doesn't want to, you know, just be a broadcaster or be like, you know, a manager. He wants to be in the front office. He wants to be a boss, following in George Steinbrenner, the real bosses footsteps, following maybe in Michael

Jordan's footsteps. Remember those guys are big with the Nike brand. Jeter and Jordan looking to own teams. I also think this is interesting for a couple of reasons as it relates to the manager of the Miami Marlins right now. That's Don Mattingly, another former captain of the New York Yankees. If this ever goes through, I think it could be a little bit awkward if Derek Jeter needed to ultimately

fire Don Mattingly, one former Yankee captain firing another. That's something I would not like to see down the road. But I think it could get even weirder if Derek Jeter ever was part of the ownership of the Miami Marlins, because there's someone else after that, a retired player that I think has a future, legitimate future as a manager in Major League Baseball. This is a guy who retired after this season. You see him on broadcasting right now.

But everybody knows that this guy loves baseball and he's something of a baseball savant. And there are only three baseball communities that I can see ever welcoming this player. One of those communities in Seattle where he started. One of those communities is in New York where he finished, And one of the communities is down in Miami, where he's kind of from. And I'm talking about Alex Rodriguez.

I'm telling you, mark it down, Alex Rodriguez. When all this thus settles and he reclaims his image, he is going to be a guy who is a major league baseball manager, I'm telling you. And wouldn't it be crazy if Derek Jeter winds up hiring Alex Rodriguez to manage the Miami Marlins. That's what we do here. We put

the fun and functional sports radio. I'm your boy, Dame Martinez speeds the spitting statistician here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, here on the Byline Sports all of your affiliates across the country, and also on the American Forces Network around the world. I want to talk about one more thing here before we go to break. As we put the fun and functional sports radio. The Bennett brothers are hysterical Michael Bennett and Martellis Bennett. If you don't

know them, they are kind of an outspoken bunch. Always in the news. Last week it was MARTELLEZ Bennett who dropped an e p A record entitled I'm Not a Rapper but my Friends Are. We played a couple of tracks from that. He's out there known as the Black Unicorn. Michael Bennett though in the news as well for a couple of reasons. One he said that he's gonna donate all of his endorsement money that he makes this year.

I don't know if I buy that. I mean, man is making loot anyway, but um, they don't stand up man doing what he said he was going to do, similar to while Kaepernick, you know, donating money that sort of thing. But one thing he said I found very funny. In a recent interview, he was talking about this, you know scandal with the Tom Brady Jersey how they went all the way to Mexico to find they got the FBI involved, And he had a quote that I thought

was very very interesting. We said, was, you know the FBI they went all the way to Mexico to find out did whatever it took. But we still don't even know who killed Biggie and Tupac. And if that doesn't put it in perspective, I don't know what will. You know? The resources spent to get something like Tom Brady's jersey back and then to display it opening day in Fenway Park. Leave it to a Bennett brother to go ahead and make that point. I do think that's very very interesting.

As you know here, we're not only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, but we're on all the sports Byline affiliates. I gave a shout out to North Dakota before I want to give a shout out also in Arizona. We're here on Phena and nine ten am kgm E, and also on in Tucson at ten nine am k C. You be big shout out from your boys. Speeds the spitting statistician there. What we're gonna do here is I want to take a look at some of these polls real quick, Donnie Burns, because we got a couple of

minutes until break, and let me tell you something. Thanks to all of you guys that are in fact voting, we have the TV brackets going on. Right now, we have the battle of one seeds, the Simpsons vers Seinfeld right now, who do you think is taking it? Donnie Seinfeld? I gotta go, you gotta go Seinfeld? Alright, seld all right, um, we have over a hundred votes already so far, and thank you so much to people that have voted. Donnie, your boys right now have six The Seinfeld is being

The other matchup we have is Breaking Bad verse cost. Do you think the Cinderella story of Cops continues? You think Cops continues? You think? Right now? All right, so we have a ton of votes. Will the Bad boys take out Walter White and Haussenberg right now? Again over a hundred votes. Thank you to everybody out there

that's voting at f N T S Y at Spitting Speeds. However, Donnie Burns, I'm sorry to say right now Breaking Bad is running away with it. Breaking Bad, Heisenberg, Walter White, Skyler and the crew of the vote right now, Breaking Bad. So you know they're doing big things We're gonna check in on that other poll about Rob Gronkowski will update you on the scores going around Major League Baseball. We got a couple of minutes still left before we hit the top of the hour. We're here on the Fantasy

Sports Radio Network. My boy, Joe Pisapia and the Fantasy Black Book will be coming your way right now though. This is Fantasy Freestyle seven eight p m. Monday through Friday. I'm mean boy, Dane Martinez fees the spitting statistician. Coming right back. We'll check in on the polls go around the league one more time. Come on right back after this. You know what it is, Dan Martinez holding you down on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

Real quick, before we get out of here. The rain is still delaying the game between the Marlins and the Nationals down in d C. It is scoreless between the Braves and the Mets in the bottom of the fourth inning, and in the top of the third inning, the Toronto Blue Jays and the Tampa Bay Rays are scoreless. Like I told you, I had Marcus Stroman as one of the pictures you should be using today and already in only two innings of scoreless ball. He has four strikers.

I told you Blake Snell was somebody that I would fade right now in the top of the third, the Blue Jays are threatening against Blake Snell, and he has already three walks in two and two thirds innings pitch. So it looks like you always speeds. The spitting statistician once again gave you some good knowledge. Checking in on the last poll, uh of you agree with me that Rob Gronkowski does, in fact get a double standard when it comes to his behavior in the NFL. Many people

call it the no fund League. Rob Gronkowski seems to be able to party all the time like his name was Eddie Murphy. Uh. Good show though here today, don I want to once again thank everybody on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, whether you're listening live or whether you download us on the iTunes, on I Heart Radio, on the stitcher, on the audio boom. And again, thank you so much to our new sports byline affiliates. I shouted

out already Arizona shouted out in North Dakota. But of course the American Forces Network, which takes us truly a global show. Last check don on our TV Greatest of All Time Tournament. It looks like we have a final matchup that is forming for tomorrow. It looks like it might be Breaking Bad against Seinfeld, and I gotta tell you that is something that is gonna be ab solutely crazy. The poll will be up tomorrow as the Fantasy Freestyle crowns the greatest TV show of all Time. I know

Benny Riccardi will be voting for Breaking Bad. Not only does he tell you who to play so you win that cash, he also predicts correctly potentially the greatest TV show of all time. That's it for me. I'm Dave Martinez Speeds the Spitting Statistician.
