spitting statistician. And you're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, of course, on all our sports byline affiliates around the country and with the American Forces Radio Network around the world. Service men and women out there getting a little bit of taste of home. And I am so glad for SPETI of spitting Statistician and be able to do that for you. I got my boy Donnie Burns with me on the

ones and toes so hot that we sweat steam. If you want to get at us this hour, you can do that. Phone lines open. If you won't at eight four four eight four, three six, eight seven nine, you could also get at us so many different ways here on the Fantasy Freestyle. We got that f N t s Y Radio Twitter handle up. You could also always get at me, follow at me, holler at me at Spinning Speeds on Twitter. What we do is we put up a couple of pole questions and I got a

couple of interesting ones in my opinion. Uh, you know, we're gonna get into what we saw last night game one of the Rockets and Spurs series. I got my boy Donnie Burns, the basketball correspondent for the Fantasy Freestyle, so we got a poll question up at this point, who do you think is gonna win that series? That two three series? Will it be Houston or San Antonio? Houston looked real good last night. We'll get into that when we get into the site for a little bit

later on on the Fantasy Freestyle. Also listen a lot of people talking about what happened at Finnway Park last night with Adam Jones. A lot of people have come out and gave their opinion. I'll let you know what Speeds is thinking as well when we get into the site for a little bit. Um. We're also gonna have a little bit of fun, as we always do. We put the fun in functional sports radio. Here. We're gonna talk about a couple of new kinds of endorsement deals

that we saw last weekend in the NFL Draft. I think that's very interesting. And it's been too long on the Fantasy Freestyle since we've talked about Triple bree that brand and LaVar Ball, so I got an update on LaVar. We're gonna get into that with Donnie Burns. I'm your boy, Dave Martinez Speeds, the spitting Statistician. We're gonna get into the NBA playoffs a little bit later on. Somebody bet fifty thousand dollars on the Warriors this series, only to

get back five d if they won. That's how crazy the odds are stacked. We'll see. Come all right back, get your boy, Dave Martinez Speeds has been statistician. You're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come all right back, you know what it is. It's your boy, Dame Martinez Speeds and spitting statistician. You're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle

here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Of course, as usually want to want to give a big shout out to our sports byline affiliates today. Oh big shout out to my folks out in Kansas and Liberal Kansas. Twelve seventy a M. That is k s CB out there in Liberal Kansas and of course in Selina, Kansas that is k S a L. You find them on eleven fifty a M. So you know, of course, you know. I want to give props to everybody because I appreciate

everybody listening to the Fantasy Freestyle. I hope that you like speeds and spitting statistician giving you what you need to win your leagues and win that cash, and how we have a little bit of fun here on Functional Sports Radio with my boy Donnie Burns so hot that we sweat steam. He gives me that basketball love, he gives me that love doctor advice, and we're gonna get into the NBA playoffs a little bit. But first I gotta give you my starting lineup, and that gets into

the Major League Baseball news and notes. First thing I want to let you guys know the Tigers have activated Miguel Cabrera for him the d L. You can and put him right back in your lineups as you would. He's coming back from that groin injury. On the other side, though, the outfield of the Colorado Rockies I think is getting a little bit cloudy. Um they say that, uh, you know, second year player David dal is still quote unquote a

ways away. And you know, and also with Reynolds so hot at first base they have now that Ian Desmond has returned, they're putting Ian Desmond in the outfield. So if you're holding onto a guy like David, I don't know even if he when he gets back, that outfield is going to be very cloudy and very crowded, especially with Desmond playing outfield. Right now, the Nationals have sent Joe Ross to Triple A. This is a guy, uh with a seven point four seven e r A and

five starts so far this season. And here's the thing, though, it's kind of real now, you know, a month of the season has gone by, the calendar has turned to May. We talk about it in fantasy all the time, that you don't really look even at the standings in the first month of the season. I'll tell you that God's on his truth. I gotta league that I'm in where I'm in, like I'm towards the bottom. I'm almost in

the basement. I'm not concerned yet. Okay, you can't really think about it, but now it starts to be important. And so Joe Ross, they have cut the chord with him the national sending him down to Triple A. The Red Sox have play Stephen Wright on the disabled list. He aggravated a knee injury. The Yankees have put Greg Bird on the d L with an ankle bruise. This is something that has been bothering him for a little while.

Maybe he just needs the rest. Remember you got that ten day d L now, and so managers are kind of using that to game the system a little bit. But they will have people returning will the Yankees. It looks like Gary Sanchez will be coming back for this weekend series as well Brandon Crawford for the San Francisco Giants. Here's what I want to say. We've had another big injury in Washington, Adam Eaton, but it's gonna be out for the season. Looks like he tore his a c

l over the weekend. And these Washington Nationals had one of the best offenses in baseball, had one of the biggest run differentials in baseball. If you know they were in fact my pick. If you remember when we did our spotlight of thirty teams in thirty days. My World Series prediction right now is not looking that bad. I'm telling you I had the Washington Nationals over the Houston

Astros as my World Series prediction. Washington looks great, but without Adam Eat and I still think they're gonna storm and win that division. But for fantasy purposes, I think what we have here is a very interesting spot in a lineup that becomes available, and that is the number two whole in the Washington Nationals lineup. This is gonna be someone whoever inherits that spot, because you know, you gotta figure Trade Turner is gonna move to the leadoff spot.

Whoever has that number two spot in the lineup is gonna be right after Trade Turner, right before Bryce Harper, Daniel Murphy and the incredibly hot to start the season, Ryan Zimmerman. There's a couple of candidates for this role. In my opinion, I'm telling you guys here on the fantasy freestyle, whoever inherits that role will get a tremendous spike in their value in my opinion, and you should keep an eye on this situation. In my opinion, there

are three candidates. They've been putting Jason Worth there, and that would be sick for his value. He was hitting six or seven in that lineup if he could be if he could be in that two hole. I like what Jason Worth could do with a steady diet of fastballs. Also, Anthony red Don, this is a guy. This is a guy who had a bad start to the season. I would have told you he was a fool gazy, but then over the weekend he had a three homer ten

RBI game. Maybe putting him in the two spots would be a great place to get him better pitches continue the hot streak. But I'll tell you who I think it could be that, you know, it's kind of under the radar, and I think would have the biggest value. What about catcher Matt Weaters. What if they put Matt Weaters in the two spot, wouldn't that get him some great pitches to hit? Um He was toiling down there in the eight spot in the lineup. Listen, this lineup

is sick. So I think if you could put a guy like Matt Weeters in that two hole, it could even you know, lengthen it some more. Keep an eye on this situation now that Adam Eaton has gone down with the a c L injury. Here's what I wanna do. We haven't been doing this the last couple of days here on the Fantasy Freestyle and truth be told us because we had so much of the NFL draft coverage and recapping and synthesis to do. But I want to help you win that cash. So let me tell you

who's some starters to target tonight. There are three two starters that I really like and on fan duel right now, you can play that mix up where instead of doing a regular full lineup, you're just doing two pictures and three position players. And I got some pictures tonight that I like. I like two of them. I have been on James Paxton all season long, and I like him at nineties hundred on Fan Duel against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at home. This seven is the is

the lowest total on the board. Okay, um, as long as he can avoid Mike Trout, I think this is good. He bounced back already from his only bad start of the season. Remember he was so hot early on in April, had one bad start, but since that has come back and had seven scoreless innings with nine strikeouts against Detroit. I love Paxson's k upside. Okay, he is fourth in the American League with thirty nine strikeouts, and out of the people ahead of him only Salad Danny Salazar in Cleveland.

As mornings pitch, I like Packson to strike out some Angels tonight, and I like Seattle to get a win in Seattle. I also like Massa Heiro Tanaka tonight for the New York Yankees. He's at member. The Yankees are ten and three at home, and the Blue Jays are

starting Matt Latos. Need I say more and listen, Tanaka has looked really good in my opinion, Tanaka has looked good, um since his last you know, since that opening day horrible, horrible start, He's had three straight starts with quality starts, three straight starts where he has gotten the win. In my opinion, you could ride out Tanaka at eight eight hundred and Paxton at nineties six hundred. I like them both.

But more of the story that I've been talking about here is, you know, now we're a month into the season, right so now are starting to get some of these changes starting to actually matter, and if you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, and I don't know many of you do, and I know big shout out to people that subscribe on the audio Boom, on the Stitcher, on the Google Play, on the I Heart Radio, on the iTunes, or when you download the Fantasy Sports Radio Network apps you get

Benny Riccardi, Jake seely Tony Sincoda, Greg Susman, Frank Standfull. What and what we've been telling you are all sorts of interesting data points, right, and I think that for these data points I've been talking about are really what you need to look for. I've been telling you about um launch angle in home runs. I've been telling you about exit velocity. What I want to talk about also

here is swing percentage and contact percentage. A lot of these guys that I've been profiling have seen a dramatic dip in their swing percentage. They are not chasing, okay, their walk rate is going up, their strikeout rate is going down. And that's part of why I love Aaron Judge and think that his change is sustainable. He's gone up eleven in contact percentage. Yeah, he's dropped a little

bit in launch angle, but it doesn't matter. He has true light tower power, and that is what has helped him become only one one of only three people to hit three hundred and have ten home runs. Only forty four players have ever done that in any month since two thousand and ten. So the part that I love is that six percentage point dropped in the swing percentage. He is a more discerning eye. Remember I told you guys that about um Eric Thames as well, remember when

he came back from the Korean Baseball organization. So I think that is something very interesting. On the flip side, Mike Mustakas he might be trying to do a little bit too much. His swing percentage is ten percent up. He is swinging at a ton more pictures. His contact great though, is down, and his launch angle is up. I think he's trying to just straight pull it. I think that, uh, he's feeling a little bit of a

grind on that Kansas City offense. Okay, you need to look at some of these numbers because that helps you, you know, take the isolated power and that these are the things that really matter as we're moving on. So when you're on fan graphs and things like that, look for that swing rate, look for that launch angle. Look at that isolated power pictures are the same things. We'll continue to talk about it all season long here in

the Fantasy Freestyle. But when we come back, we're gonna answer the site from a man Donnie Burns and I. We're gonna break down the NBA playoffs a little bit, answer the poll questions, a lot of things to do. It's your boys, Speeds, the Spitting Statistician. You're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the award winning Fantasy

Sports Radio Network. Coming right back. You know what it is you should boy, Dane Martinez Speeds, Spitting Statistician, You're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. If you want to holler at me, you absolutely can at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. You could also catch us on that f n T s Y Radio Twitter handle. You could also ask any questions or follow me at Spitting

Speeds on Twitter. You know, check this out. The Rangers have gotten out to a one nothing lead early on. You may have heard, you may have heard the cheer. We are here at Rock and Riley's in Studio thirty four here in Manhattan, across the street from Madison Square Garden. A couple of pregame parties going on here at Rock and Riley's. It was Matt Zukorello who got the goal. Rangers are up one nothing, Indians get on the board

in the first standing against the Tigers. Diamondbacks up one nothing against the Nationals, and the Yankees are all over the Blue Jays. Matt Latos I told you about Matt Lato's Yankees are already of one nothing, still threatening with men on second and third. Nobody out here in the Bronx keeping it moving as we enter the cipher which boys speeds the spitting statistician. News and notes from the NFL. Jamal Charles has signed a one year deal with the

Denver Broncos and a f C West rival. That deal is up to at least up to three point seven five million dollars if Jamal Charles reaches certain incentives in that contract. This is also the time of year where you need to find out if teams are gonna pick up the fifth year option on some of the players that they drafted three four years ago. And so there was news here. Eric Ebron's option has been picked up by the Detroit Lions. Calvin Benjamin's option picked up by

the Panthers. However, Calvin Pryor's option was not picked up by the Jets. Remember the Jets drafted to safeties with their first and second round picks last weekend. Teddy Bridgewater's option not picked up by the Minnesota Vikings. That that injury that he sustained last year, serious knee injured. Doesn't look good for Teddy After this declaration by the Minnesota Vikings, and maybe what must be what might be the most surprising one of them all, the Buffalo Bills have decided

to decline the fifth year option on Sammy Watkins. Sammy Watkins is pretty much the best receiver they have and the only option they have. What is going on in Buffalo? Remember they fired GM Doug Whalley right after the draft, so they are, you know, turning the page. It looks like in Buffalo at least priming the pump for that

to happen. Let's talk Buccaneers running backs. Real quick news out of the Buccaneers running back room um the j g M Jason Licht is saying that Doug Martin looks very good in practice, that they believe in him that they are willing to, you know, kind of still ride with him despite the three games suspension that he will

have to serve. At the start of the football season, head coach of Tampa Bay Though, Dirk Cutter, I was talking a little bit about fifth round pick Jeremy McNichols, saying that he has the potential to be a three down back in the NFL, which sounds like good praise, right, But then on the flip side, he's saying that he's gonna have to work to even make the team because remember they do also in that room, besides Doug Martin have Jock Quiz Rogers why affectionately called Pop Quiz Jock

Quiz all season long, and they also have Charles Sims in that backfield. So a lot of options now for the Tampa Bay Bucks. Many people I saw coming out of the draft thinking that Jamie's Winston's fantasy value increase the most. Remember they went and drafted I believe it was O. J. Howard to help him out. They signed to Shaun Watson, excuse me, to Shawn Jackson in the off season to help with that receiving corps that already

had guys like Cameron Brad and Mike Evans. The Bucks could be a team where the offense is on the rise, and so J P. Ryan they're saying is a quote unquote instant challenger to Rob Kelly in the Washington backfield. That could also spell trouble for Matt Jones. Who Matt Jones in the Washington backfield? Keep it moving though here And I want to bring you my boy Donnie Burns. He he is not only the love doctor on the

Fantasy Freestyle, he is also the basketball correspondent. And Donnie, we were getting into the Spurs Rockets series and the Rockets made a statement in Game one in San Antonio, blowing the doors off of the Spurs. They wanted to ninety nine. And here's the key for me. We have been saying for weeks now that the Rockets are this kind of team that like, if they get hot, they

can compete with anybody. If they shoot the ball, well, if they are able to push that pace in space, well, they hit twenty two of their fifty three pointers last night, a forty percent clip. That will be enough to compete with anybody. A reason. Look good, Ryan Anderson looked good. It didn't even all come from James Harden, as we were talking about before we gone in on air. But my question, honestly, don is more about the San Antonio

Spurs than it is about the Houston Rockets. We have seen, and we have all said that the Rockets are capable of this kind of explosion, scoring in the one twenties, hitting twenty plus three pointers, but LaMarcus Aldridge with four points, Tony Parker not looking that spry. I would almost ask what do the Spurs have to rely on besides Kauai Leonard? And while I am not gonna bury a Greg Popovich team after Game one, this does not look good, Donny. Yeah.

Here's the thing though, and this is what I'm worried about most. The Spurs are the best, if not one of the best, at running teams off the three point line. And if you have the Rockets, out of all teams, shooting almost from the three point line, and one of your best players in LaMarcus Aldri just can't get double digit points, that's gonna be a long series. That's gonna be a very long series. And so we ask people on that f n T s Y Radio Twitter handle,

and thanks to everybody who's already voting. Big shout out to the people who follow us on the fn T s BI radio Twitter handle. Big shout out to the people who follow me at spitting speeds um right now sixt so two thirds of the votes right now are for the Houston Rockets. Think that the Houston Rockets will advance to the Western Conference Finals. Uh, we have you on record though already, right Donnie. Yeah, Well, here's the

thing I was really high on. That's why I don't I don't really want people to sleep on the Spurs because I was super high on two teams before the playoffs even started. If you remember, I was high on the Wizards and I was high on the Rockets. But I've seen both struggle at times. So it's one game. You can't gauge that after I mean, they were up thirty at one point, it was like seventy three to thirty nine at one point. You can't gauge a team

with pedigree like Spurs out after one game. I feel like that's a little you know, I'll tell you what it will definitely end and and you know, if you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, you list and to win that cash. And in the NBA and playoff basketball, there has been for years the zigzag theory where series kind of pendulum swing

back and forth these kind of series. I would not be surprised if the San Antonio Spurs come out Game two at home and respond, well, I'd be laying heavy coin bitcoin, maybe even on the San Antonio Spurs in Game two. How do you like that, Donnie? Yeah, And a lot of people forget the Spurs can shoot the three two at a high clip and unctually they're they're

pretty high percentage. They don't do it a lot, but when they do that and they recognized her making beyond the arc, they will continue to shoot that clip until the percentage drops and they'll shoot it at a high percentage. All right. So we'll see. We'll see if the Golden State Warriors tonight in their Game one, if they put on a show the same way the Rockets did. I want to keep it moving in the cipher here, Donnie Burns. A lot of people are talking about what happened at

Fenway Park last night. Adam Jones was saying, you know, things that he got the N word, you know, used that him kind of in heckels he was thrown peanuts at him, and and you know, the Red Sox have come out and apologize. But I think, you know, a lot of people are talking about how this speaks to

a bigger issue. And interestingly enough, I got some quotes from CC sabathia Um who was said that hit has happened to him before, that it's not surprising at all in Fenway Park, that it happens in Fenway, but happens nowhere else in major League Baseball. And he also says that all the black players in Major League Baseball know about it. When you go to Boston, it is expected. Okay, now, I feel a lot of ways about this, But the

angle that I want to get into real quick. You know, a lot of people say like, hey, well, if you buy a ticket, you should be able to do what or say whatever you want. I completely disagree with that. And what I'm also saying now, especially in the times that we are in right now, in this country where there has been a rat raised the voice of a lot of different things that we're not going to get into too much right here. I think it is a very big problem to to desensitize this and to almost

accept this kind of activity at sporting events. Remember, uh, Donnie, when I was talking about like the soccer hooliganism with the Dortmund bust and like the flare guns and stuff. I think we are in a very sad place if we um if we become immune to this as a society, if we think that this is like okay, or if

we diminished this as a few fans. And I did hear that sixty fans were rejected from Fenway Park, and at the beginning of this game tonight, you know, a little standing ovation for Adam Jones, but that's not enough. It's a more pervasive culture here. And if we're supposed to be in this post racial discourse that we're in, I want everybody to consider this, you know, the same kind of populous movement that has this other springing up

right now. Adam Jones, just a month and a half ago, I was calling him, in essence, Captain America for the WBC team here for the United States of America. He was representing America in a very strong and prideful way just a month or two ago. So what is American? What are our rights? What should be respective? I think that's interesting and I've also heard a lot of people talk about what is actually effective punishment just ejecting fans.

I have an interesting idea, Donnie Burns. I think, much like sex offenders, if people get ejected or lose their season tickets for bad behavior at stadiums or this kind of behavior, this kind of racist behavior, their names should be put in the paper as well, with an explanation of why their tickets were revoked. What do you think about that, Donnie? Yeah, and I completely agree with that. And it can't just be one side. It can't always be you know, the players saying, so like things have

to happen. Like you said, you can't just eject. We can't be desensitized to this. You can't just eject someone. They'll be back for them, of course. Yeah, so that's what I'm saying. I'm saying, like, just like you know, just like sex offenders, put their names in the paper in that community, it explain maybe that we'll let everybody have some kind of deform exactly, you need a real deterrent.

Finding them or rejecting them is not enough. But it's interesting that not only Adam Jones, but cc other African American players have come out, and even Red Sox players David Price, Ellis Burk's back in the day, all the way back to Jim Rice have said that this is something to be expected when you go to Fenway Park in Boston. So I think we have a lot of work to do. We cannot make this a new normal.

It is not okay. But as we move on, we'll get into the fun and functional sports radio because that's what we do here as well. Here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It should boyd Dane Martinez Speeds, the spitting Statistician. We'll be right back and we'll talk about LaVar Ball, will be more lighthearted. All right, come on right back after this Fantasy Freestyle in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know what it is.

It's boy Dane Martinez Speeds and spitting statistician. You're listening live here to the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Big shout out to all the service men and women who are listening around the world on the American Forces Radio Network, and of course all of our sports Byline affiliates. We just got into it a little bit about the Adam Jones Red sox orioles issue and kind of you know how prevalent apparently this is so.

I do also want to give a big shout out to our affiliates out in Boston w w z N ten am, if you're listening out there, holler at your boys speed and spitting statistician at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. Remember I do have a poll question up about this. Does buying a ticket give you the right to say or do anything as a fan? We have that up there right now, almost already a hundred votes in this hour, and thank you to everybody voting on the f N T s Y

radio Twitter handle at spitting speeds as well. Right now, two of you say no, it is does not give you the right to do or say whatever you want. Eight percent, though, say that it does. I wonder if that includes some of the vial that was thrown Adam Jones's way last night and apparently what has been happening um for a long time at Fenway Park. Also want to tell you that the Rangers have scored again. They

are now up to nothing. It was Prabner with the second Rangers goal here at Radio City Music, not at Radio City Music Hall at Madison Square guard in the world's most famous arena. I'm also sort of encouraged. Um I wanted to stack Yankees and Red's in my DFS lineup, and the Reds are already up three nothing on Tyler Glass now, and the Yankees are threatening big time in the uh you know, in the first and second inning up against Matt Lato's who I was stacking bats against.

Thanks again to him for joining Fantasy Freestyle last Friday, but you can check him out. Fantasy Blackball Book up next on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. As I've been saying, though, it's been way too long since we've talked LaVar Ball here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and the things may

not be going his way recently. Remember when I told you that Lebron was not the person he should mess with that he was gonna get shut out of his big billion dollar deal that he wanted for his Triple B brand because now a Lonzo by all accounts, is gonna be the one or two pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, which happens in you know, inside of a few weeks. But um, lamar Ball and Triple B they

have gotten completely rejected. They have they will not have a deal with Nike, not with Adidas, not with under Armour. All three of those big shoe companies said they will have no nothing to do with him. And that has never happened with the top five pick before the draft. Here's the thing, it's because LaVar keeps on having these demands. He wants to in essence co brand the Triple Breeze and having be a deal for all three kids. That is not going to happen. He's saying he wants not

an endorsement deal, but co branding. And then said that these big shoe guys, you know, whether it be I, Adidas, Nike, under Armour, they are not ready for that model. But in response, LaVar Ball says, that's okay. The taxi industry wasn't ready for Uber. That is how confident he thinks that he is such such a disruptive force that he is going to disrupt it like Uber did the taxi industry. I don't think that's what's gonna happen. He does make a great point that it is incredibly valuable you own

your own brand before going pro. But he says that he has been working on this shoe for a Lonzo since before he was born, that they don't want to have to wait to cash in, and then he threw shade at Paul George specifically saying he doesn't want to have to wait five or six years like Paul George did to get a deal, a shoe deal. I think you know this is not going to go well. And here's the other thing. Now, once again LaVar Ball maybe

going a little bit too far. He's saying that the first shoe that does in fact come out, and again he's now instead of the shoe companies, he's talking to other kinds of brands, including apparently Facebook to sponsor the Triple B brand. But he's saying that his first shoe is gonna be two hundred dollars. I think that's a little bit rich. Listen, the lebron James fourteens right now are hundred dollars. Kevin Durant let his shoe, The Katie

Nines are hundred fifty dollars. James Hard are at one forty. Steph Curries are at one fifty. Paul George is now that he does have a shoe, is a hundred ten dollars. But uh, Alonzo Ball's first shoot before he even comes into the league is gonna go for two hundred dollars. This may be yet another case of LaVar Ball overshooting his expectations. But you know, we gotta keep our eyes out on everything that LaVar Ball does. Apparently, listen, I

want to keep it moving though. Here we put the fun in Functional Sports Radio here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Remember earlier this week I told you to keep an eye out in the fight game about Andrew Joshua, this undefeated kid coming up, and have British heavyweights are now all the rage. Remember we also have Canelo Alvarez versus Julio Caesar Chavez Junior in Las Vegas this weekend single the Mayo Weekend, Mexican

greats going at it. Canelo Alvarez and Julio Caesar Ves in Las Vegas. What I think is going to be a huge fight, and you can probably go see that on pay per view. But I want to talk to you about something else I've seen in the fight game. First of all, congratulations are in order for Miss Ronda Rousey. Apparently Ms Ronda Rousey is engaged. She's engaged to Travis Brown,

who himself as a UFC fighter. Remember obviously round the Rousey started off her career twelve and oh, then got rocked by Holly Home, then got rocked by Angelo non Jez. And remember a few months ago I came out and told you that Dana White says that he does not see her fighting again. Dana White said that in an

interview in January. This guy her her fiance, Travis Brown, he's lost his last three fights also, so maybe it's running in the you know, the New Family to move away from the m M A. But I built this little segment as the m M A Circle of Life because I don't know, Donnie, if you're with me or not. But later on when you rejoined the show, you're gonna have to comment on this because check this out. It's like the circle of female mmm mm A fighters. Ron

the Rousy maybe exiting the game. But check this out. There is a new Asian fighter named Momo. She is set to debut in an mm A UM event called Deep Jewels sixteen in Japan later on this month in May, on May twenty. But here's the deal. She's twelve years old. They're having a twelve year old debut at an event called Deep Jewels sixteen in Japan. There is going to be a twelve year old m m A female fighter. I think this is completely ridiculous. Ron the Rousey walking away,

this young lady coming back. Donnie Burns is back with me. Twelve year old female mm A fighter. Donnie, I ask you, which is worse that they allow this girl, a twelve year old girl to fight, or the twenty four year old fighter who decided to agree to take a fight and fight a twelve year old girl. Which is worse? Don Uh. I'm gonna have to say whoever it shows to fight the twelve year old year old, right, that's taking on this and go over how their morals are

set up. Becau. It's absolutely crazy, right, okay? And I want to get you in before we move on, because We've been talking about LaVar Ball forever. You're a young kid, Donnie, we talked about this. I'm in the gen X. I'm in the gen X side. Okay, you're a millennial. So

these sneaker heads you know that are out there. Remember we talked also when we saw the North Carolina team getting their cleats, you know, the jump man's Is there any chance that LaVar that Alonzo shoe could go for two hundred dollars curries that I don't even think curries going. That's what I was saying, that d s at one fifty. Yeah, absolutely so, once again LaVar Ball putting his children in a kind of position to fail. In my opinion, what

do you think about and a Lonzo says nothing? Like even what There was an interview they had where it was like, oh, does you know there's anything that your father do like father you He always says no, He's it's like a trained dog. It's like he's programmed. Bro, He's been programmed since birth. You know that his dad is handling all this. Think about it like the Williams sisters would uh with their father, Richard Williams coming up? You know, it was the question wasn't even engaged towards uh,

like what's happening now in terms of basketball. It was like a life question like has he ever like like has he ever bothered you? Has he ever done anything to bother you or offend you? And he's like, na, never, never, never. They stick tight over there and there whatever like bell Air or West Hollywood, wherever it is, there it is there is, so they keep it tight over there. Yo. I got one more thing I want to get at.

We put the fun in fun functional sports radio. As you know, Donnie Burns on the ones into so hot that he sweat steam, helping your boys speeds to spending statistician blow up like a Samsung seven here on the n see freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We have a new kind of endorsement deal, you know, coming out of the NFL Draft that happened last weekend. I found two of these stories, and donn I want to

I want to ask you which you think is more creative. Okay, So the first one new Broncos tight end Jake Butt from Michigan. Um. First of all, his name is Jake, but he was a tight end and he got drafted. He got drafted by the Denver Broncos. But here's the deal, my friend. He got an endorsement deal with Scharman toilet paper because of his name, Jake being a tight end. Yeah, he got us. He got he got a Sharman endorsement deal, which I think it's great, n exactly. Yeah. And also

here's another interesting way that he got money. Remember when we were talking. In the bowl season, Julius Pepper has decided to not play. Leonard Fournette decided to not play, well, Jake, but actually tore his a c L in the bowl game in the Orange Bowl. Okay, and uh, he slipped from what was a second round projection all the way down to the first pick of the fifth round. But he had insurance on that and cashed in and got a tax free five hundred and forty three thousand dollars

on that insurance claim. And he still got drafted by the Denver Broncos, and he still got an endorsement deal with Sharmon. So I think it worked out pretty Jacob. Right, So let me contrast that with this defensive end Adam Missouri, Charles Harris. He was the number twenty two overall pick by your boys. The Miami Dolphins. Do you know where I'm going with this? Do you see his draft party? You saw the background. You saw Sasquatch in the background

from Jack Links Jerky. Yeah, so they are now having Sasquatch at the draft party. I think that was a creative, innovative kind of endorsement. Deshaun Watson. I think also, um, excuse me, DeShawn Kaiser also had the Jack Links logo in the lining of his suit jacket when he got drafted. I think this is creative. You think Sasquatch may have some a couple of other appearances, which is better? Donnie. I like the Jake, but and not just because all

how funny all that stuff really is. But I watched them throughout most of this past year, and he's very good player. Yeah, but I don't care about the new player I'm talking. Which is a better endorsement, Jake Jake? But I kind of think messing with Sasquatch has some legs. Man. I can see next year at draft parties, maybe find like the Burger Kings somewhere. You know, I think placement of these mascots are pretty interesting. I think I think

they're onto something. Messing with Sasquatch. But check it out when we come back. Donnie Burns Speeds, the spitting Statisticians. We're gonna tie a nice little bow on this. Coming up next will be joe Pisa Pizza on the Fantasy Black Book. Come alright back, Fantasy Freestyle, Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Yeah, as the beat drop, you know what it is. It

They beat Athletical Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semifinal first like three nothing. Ronaldo with a

hat trick coming up big at big times. I want to also just give you a couple of heads up here.

Garden. Got a couple of games later on tonight Wizards and Celtics. That should be a good one game too, and the Golden State Warriors get their next series started against the

Utah Jazz. We had a couple of poll questions up today as well. Rockets Spurs. Rockets looking very impressive last night in Game one of that series against San Antonio in San Antonio, winning big of you think that the Houston Rockets will in fact win that series and move on to the Western Conference Finals. We also talked a little bit about the Orioles and the Red Sox and that series and what's going on up there with Aaron Jones and Fenway. I told you they gave him a

standing ovation. But then right after that, Chris Sale apparently threw a ball behind Manny Machado. Both benches have been warned. I asked you on the f N T s Y Radio Twitter handle and at Spitting's beads, if they're buying a ticket, gives you a right to do or say anything as a fan of you say no of you say that, absolutely it does. I wonder if that includes the stuff that is going on at Fenway Park. Tune in tomorrow though Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio
