Shout out to the service men and women using Speeds, the Spitting Statistician and the Fantasy Freestyle to give them a little taste of home and helping them win their leagues and win that cash all hour long. If you want to get at me, you can in a number of ways. Holler at me at eight four

four four three six, eight seven nine. You could also get at me follow me at Spitting Speeds on Twitter. If you have any questions, will answer them during the show. You could also follow us at f n T S Y Radio. That Twitter handle is good as gold. You could also chime in on a pole we got. You know, we've been talking about Matt Harvey over the last couple of days. There was that suspension than why he got suspended, Well, today he kind of faced the music and suspension is over.

He had some words. We're gonna play that a little bit later on when we get into our starting lineup. But I want to find out what do you guys think the Mets need to do with them? Should they just like sweep it under the rug and just like kind of move on, or is this the straw that broke the camel's back. Must there be a little bit more? Should they try and send them down? Because I'm telling you when you hear his audio today, I think there's

some things going on with Matt Harvey. I don't know, man, Maybe he's just like older than he used to be in camp mess around in New York anymore? Or do they need to cut their losses? I mean, the man's e r A has been going up is now over five, was over four last year. This is not the same picture. His velocity is down as well. Should they try to trade him for whatever they can get? That is another question we have up on the f n T s

Y Radio Twitter handle. We also listen. If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know that we've been talking about the pain management and the tour doll and all of the implications in the NFL. Tomorrow, Smith, the head of the NFL p A, is starting to bring that conversation in a very formal way. We're gonna check in on that. I got my boy Donnie Burns with me on the ones into so hot that we sweat steam. We're gonna talk NBA playoffs as usual. Is it just

a fate to complete this trilogy? Come all right back, Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm your boy, Dane Martinez Fantasy Freestyle. Come on back. This isn't what you know what it is? It should boy Dane Martinez a k A. To spitting statistician. You're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the award winning Fantasies Sports Radio Network. I got my boy don Burns with me on the ones and tools so hot that we sweat steam. Let's get right into it.

Let's get into this starting lineup. Okay, News and notes from around Major League Baseball real quick. The Tigers have made a change at closer. Go out right now if you can and grab Justin Wilson. He is replacing Frankie Rodriguez k Rod as the closer in Detroit. I told you about this a little while ago. K Rod had been good, you know, the years and years leading up to this, but falling off a cliff right now. Justin

Wilson closing for the Tigers. Moving forward. Uh j D. Martinez speaking of the Tigers, looks like he is on track to return and play his first games of the season this weekend. He is playing right field in his rehab starts with no issue. They're probably gonna bring him back up at the end of the week. Remember he was dealing with that Liz Frank injury. Aelton Simmons got hit by a pitch on the right thumb last night. X grades have come back clean. He should be good

to go, maybe miss just a day or two. However, Jason hey World has been placed on the disabled list retroactive to May six because of a finger issue on his right hand, and similarly, the Angels are now starting to talk about the ten day d L for best Player in the Game Mike Trout. This will be. It looks like he's missing it again. This will be his fourth game missing. Uh. You know we've talked about this with the ten d d L managers can kind of

game the system and almost save players for themselves. I would not be surprised if this goes one way or the other. The fork in the road happens. Now that are you gonna either gonna put Trout on the d L or you will see him back in the lineup, you know, within the next couple of days. Let's keep it moving into what I talked about yesterday. I gave

you some starting pitchers. Yesterday I said I think you could beat Jacob deGrom and I gave you two starters that I think could do it for far less money on FanDuel. The first guy I gave you was Kendall Graveman. He was only seventy four hundred, and I said that he had the potential against that Trout less lineup in that big ballpark. What did he do? Seven innings pitched, only gave up to earned runs and struck out six.

Got you a quality start. They didn't get the win because that game went eleven innings, But nice little action for you if you did listen to your boy, Speeds, the spitting statistician who went Kendall Graveman, or you could have gone Trevor k Hill, which was the other guy gave you against Texas. I told you that lineup was not killing it right now. He did not go enough to get a quality start, but it was five and

a third scoreless innings. He also struck out seven and got the win as the Padres beat the Rangers five to one. Both of those guys could have helped you cash last night. So you may ask yourself, all right, Speeds, who's gonna help me cash tonight? Listen? I am mad at you if you go with the chalk, if you go with the most expensive guys, that be Max Scherzer at eleven thousand, six hundred against Baltimore on fan duel, or even Carlos Carrasco at ten thousand, three hundred against

the Blue Jays, I am mad at you. But I got a guy. I got two guys that for three four thousand dollars less. I think you're gonna have good starts and get vic threes for you. This is how you win that cash. Okay, the first one I like Matt andreies today against Kansas City. He's on seventy four hundred is his price on fan duel. I gotta tell you something, This Kansas City offense is straight blunt, guts trash. Okay, this is the worst offense in the American League. The

Royals have scored eighty nine runs to date. The second worst offense in the American League is the White Sox. They scored a hundred and twenty one thirty two more runs. That is how putrid this Royals offense has been. I am fading them. It's almost like in a survivor pool in the NFL when you just pick him, like whoever is playing the Cleveland Browns. I think it is coming to that point with the Kansas City Royals offense. I like Matt Andres seventy four hundred in Tampa Bay and

he's been hot. He did strike out eight guys in his last start against the Marlins. If you don't look like that, here's the other one for you, also at seventy four hundred on fan duel. Remember when I just said that the second worst offense in the a L was the Cargo White Sox. Well, I'm fading them as well. You can get Hector Santiago for I rather andrees. But again, this guy going against the second worst offense in the

American League, and he's also pitching against Mike Pelfrey. Mike Pelfrey who was oh and two and has the five plus e r A. Those are some guys to win that cast. But I want to keep it moving and talk a little bit more about this Matt Harvey situation. Okay, we've been, you know, wondering why he was suspended it. You know, the news has trickled out. He was out partying. Basically, he played golf and then he was you know, basically too hungover or messed up to be able to report

for duty. Even though it was an off it was not a starting day for Harvey on Saturday. He returned today and face the media. I want to hear what he has to say, and then let's react to it. I got a couple of points to make about what Matt Harvey had to say today. Let's let's hear what he had to say. No one, thank you everyone. Matt will have an opening statement and take a few questions. UM. First off, as I as I just did UM with

my teammates and and all of the coaches. UM, I apologized for for my actions, and I do apologize for my actions. UM, obviously I'm extremely embarrassed by my actions. UM. I apologize to my teammates too, the Mets organization, to the Wilpons, to you know, all the way down to the Mets fans for doing what I did. And UM, yes, I was out on Friday night past curfew. I did play golf m Saturday morning, and I put myself in a bad place to be ready for showing up for

a ball for a ball game. That is my responsibility. I take full blame for that, and I've apologized to my teammates. I've apologize as the coaches, and I'm doing everything in my power so that that never happens again. And UM, like I've said, I'm extremely embarrassed for my actions, and UM, I'm working forward to getting things back on track and doing everything akin to help this team win and help this organization moving forward. And and they all have my word on that one. All right. So that's

what Matt Harvey had to say, and listen. First of all, I want to give him a little bit of credit because if you see the video of this, this was not him reading remarks from prepared cards or anything like that. It was kind of a I guess, a heartfelt kind of apology. But here's the thing, this is gonna be

the last stop for Matt Harvey and the Mets. You know, this has been going on for a while, and I think this is just the straw that breaks the camels back in terms of Matt Harvey hating the Mets, and the Mets hating Matt Harvey. Okay, I have been saying this for a while. And I also think you can tell in this tone when people when players were coming out of the locker room after Matt Harvey apparently spoke for about ten or fifteen minutes apologizing to him, I

think there's something a little bit deeper here. Matt Harvey hit the town. You know, about five years ago. It was an absolute beast. Was supposed to be the new truth Stud, the guy, the dark Knight, who was going to lead this team to the Promised Land. He was the stud. He was the ace, He had the model girlfriends, he was at the front row of Nick's games. He was you know, he was trying to become the next Derek Jeter. In more ways than one, My how the

mighty have fallen? Okay, now all of a sudden, you're maybe the third best starter in that rotation. Now you're not hot to trot, You're not on the jumbo tron at Madison Square Garden with the model on your arm. And I think that it all came crashing down for him and he doesn't know necessary early how to deal

with it. When I put up that poll question, I asked you they just leave it alone and move on, which maybe what you think, but I offered to other alternatives, want to send them to Triple A. Maybe he just needs to be outside of the spotlight for a little while and maybe remember why the hell he loves baseball in the first place, because it's about the performance on the field, not all the other stuff, the bright lights in the big city. Or maybe the Mets need to

cut their losses and trade him now. The Mets are not going to be contenders right now as we have seen, the Mets are most likely going to be sellers. And we know also I've said it here, I'll say it again, Matt Harvey is not going to resign with the Mets when his contract is up, so mine as well get something now. If you can, Okay, I'm telling you the Mets are not contending. This has unrattled very quickly with Syndergard with cesspitics, with all the kind of just dark

louds that are there. So if you ask me, I am in the thirty five percent of the voters right now who say try to trade him. I think that's what you can do. If you can get him to another another team with a fresh start. He still has the stuff to be a relied upon starter. He could still be the dark night again, and maybe they'll shine the light up when it's his starts, like the Batman signal. I just don't think it is going to happen anymore

in Flushing, Queens. If you want to holler at me about this, you candidate four four eight four three six seven nine, or you can vote on the poll. Eleven percent say send them this triple A. Now say try to trade them. Many of you say just move on. I don't think that's gonna work anymore. Come all right back, we'll talk about it some more. Dame Martinez Fantasy Freestyle

here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle that se boy Dade Martinez holding you down, and my man Donnie Burns on the ones and twos you're listening live here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Big shout out to our sports Byline affiliates. You know I'm gonna shout out West Virginia today, having shouted out West Virginia in a while, Donnie Burns, so big shout out to Vienna fourteen fifty A M W L T P and in Martinsburg thirteen forty AM W E P

M and Donnie Burns as the love Doctor. You're gonna like this one. Big shout out to six twenty am in Beaver, West Virginia. UM, let's keep it moving though here as we get into the cipher on the Fantasy Freestyle News and Notes from the NFL, Spencerware is still apparently the quote unquote lead back in Kansas City. Even though the Chiefs spent their third round pick to draft rookie running back Kareem Hunt, don't be surprised if Kareem Hunt is one of those running backs that start to

steal touches in the second half of the season. I made that point with a lot of running backs last year at after the bye in the second half of the season, whether it was guys like Kenneth Dixon or others that you're gonna start to see that. Uh. Kareem Hunt could be an example of that in Kansas City. However, Joe Mixon, the drafted running back in Cincinnati who had a lot of uh, you know, questionable pass and domestic violence in his past, they are saying he's going to

get heavy usage. If you look at this running back room in Cincinnati, Giovanni Bernard is questionable to be ready with a knee injury for the start of the season, and Jeremy Hill has just not been good. So Joe Mixon could be primed to get some some usage early on in his first season as a Bengal. The Buffalo Bills have announced that Brandon Bean will be their new general manager. He replaces Doug's Whaley. Brandon Bean was the

assistant GM of the Carolina Panthers in Philadelphia. Reports indicate now that Dorio Green Beckham maybe a long shot to even make the Philadelphia Eagles roster. Remember, they sounded al Shan Jeffrey and Torry Smith in the off season. They also have Jordan Matthews now Sinagalore and have drafted two rookies this year, so it could be a a tight a tight fit for d g B. Also, a news that you may have already heard, the State of Massachusetts

has vacated the Aaron Hernandez murder conviction. That's a procedural thing that they do if um, if the person who was appealing actually dies before the appeal has been heard. Let's keep it moving though. In the cipher, I am excited to have my boy Donnie Burns, the love Doctor and my NBA correspondent. We've been touching in with him, you know, throughout the playoffs and you know, just another who Hume win Donnie for the Golden State Warriors. They win one one to ninety five and end the season

of the Utah Jazz. Last night, Steph Curry nine for fifteen, goes for thirty points, Draymond Green with a triple double, seventeen points, ten rebounds, and eleven assists. Here's what I want to ask you about this one, because you know we've been talking about how you know, the Calves have swept, now the Warriors have apt. What I found interesting I was watching the end of that game, Donnie, and they the Utah fans were they were happy. They were happy.

They were they were happy, they were they were happy about what their team had done. And you know that's so rare in sports these days. And then when I step back and look at it, the question is like, should they be happy? I mean, nobody probably picked them to be in the second round of the Western Conference this year. You may consider them a team on the rise. However, what are the other things that the fans did? Was start, with about three minutes left to go, start chanting the

name of one Gordon Hayward. So, Donnie, I got two questions for you. One, should the Utah Jazz fans be happy in the short term about what they did this season? And what does that mean long term? Especially because, as you know, species fitting statistician has called his shot and says that Gordon Hayward will be wind up where and Kelly Green for his college coach, Brad Stevens going to the Celtics this offseason. What do you think about what the Houston the Utah fans were doing in the in

the last time they were in that arena this season? Yeah, so I'm actually really about what they did. I think they should be happy. They have a really, really young core even if Gordon Hayward decides to leave. And I thought it was kind of a good gesture to kind of, you know, send him off in a sense if he decides to go with that, you know that big thank you.

That was what that chance essentially was. And I'm kind of upset how this kind of ended because I really didn't think that the Warrior I thought they would win. I didn't think they would sweep a Quinn Snyder coach team. I think he is, you know, in the running for Coach of the Year every single year, and you know, I thought he would have at least stolen game, yeah, because he's a great coach and they were, if not the best defensive team in the NBA, one of the best.

So I like where they're at. Their very young uh Derek Favorites is playing out of control. He played real well in the former top three picks. So I like where they're at, even even if they lose Hayward in the offseason. I do. And I think the Jazz fans kind of made it a point that hey, you know, you should stick with us a little longer. We got you.

I think you should stay. Well, we'll see. I know this summer I know this summer, you know, Paul, George Gordon, and Hayward now apparently Kyle Lowry are all gonna be huge names. To see how the lands, the landscape shifts. I know one other thing, Donnie, this summer we're gonna be watching Big Three batsketball. A little bit more on that to come maybe later on in the show. We have some more sounds from ice Cube and our boy

Michael Rappaport. But you know what else is happening in the NBA this summer or in basketball this summer um, The NBA is going to Israel. They have a program called Basketball Without Borders, okay, and they have been basically doing high level competition camps around the globe since two thousand and one. And these camps not only are to you know, kind of our scouting, you know, to uh up and coming talent in these areas, but they're also

out there promoting tolerance and health. This has been going on over fifteen years and what everyone can understand, intense political times in Israel. The NBA will be going there this summer the campus August thirteen to the sixteenth. They're also going to be doing community service out there. David Robinson as the lead instructor, and this camp over the last sixteen years has produced twenty three NBA players, including

Danilo Gallinari and Mark Gasol. So, you know, I've we've been talking on this show about what's gonna happen after the NBA Finals, and we've been talking about Big Three. We've been talking about other things. I know, uh, you know, that's the time maybe when the boys of Summer in baseball dominate. But uh, I just wanted to put it out there that the NBA continues to go out there and do some good work trying to grow the game

around the globe. One other thing I want to talk about here on the Fantasy Freestyle in our cipher, if you realize here on Fantasy Freestyle, we've been talking about the tour at all. We've been talking about marijuana as it relates to the NFL and how I have been saying for a while on this platform that the NFL had an opportunity to become a leader in this space. We've talked about guys like Jake Plummer, We've talked about guys like Kyle Torrey. Very interesting pieces on Kyle Turley

on Vice Sports. Right now I'm gonna be talking a little bit about that later on in the week. But interestingly enough, Demorris Smith, the head of the nfl PA, has come out and has said in a recent interview with Outside the Lines on ESPN that he is actually looking into this and thinking about how to formally raise this, uh, this issue with the owners. We have some Tomorris Smith, sound right, Donnie Burns, are we ready for that? Let's do that. Let's play that. Demorris Smith talking about maybe

next steps on marijuana formally on the table. We intend to present a proposal to the league that has probably more of a therapeutic approach, uh to those who test positive for marijuana. The idea is simply to make sure that we understand, um, whether a player is suffering from something other than just um um, a desire to smoke marijuana. I think all of us would want to have a process where if there was truly a problem, we're treating

the problem instead of just treating a symptom. Okay, So you know, contrast that with like I said, remember a couple of weeks ago when Roger Goodell was just on something like, hey, it's not good to inhale the smoke here and it's kind of nineteen fifties view on this. So I like that Tomorris Smith is getting ahead of

this talking about the therapeutic uses of marijuana. You know, think about there's so much news out there about how the NFL kind of is leaned on the opioids and toward all and Fenton al and other drugs, and how and how damaging that has been. Too many athletes, um that are in essence in these car crashes that we call football games once a week. And so I think it's very interesting that, you know, the head of the players union is actually you know, bringing this up in

a formal way. You know, there was a recent Washington University study also they studied six hundred and forty four retired NFL players admit to still using prescription pain killers, seventy one admit that they misused or abused pain killers, and other studies report that abuse among NFL players of pain killers is four times that of the general population. I think it's very important and it's time for us to get this into the conversation, and formally it looks

like it is finally happening. Um. So I think that's very interesting if you want to holler at me about this or any of those topics related to the cipher. Holler me at AD four four eight, four, three six, eight seven nine, And we're here to help you win your leagues and win that cash. I told you which starters to pick tonight.

Earlier in the show, rewind the tape. I told you I liked Matt Andrews today with the Tampa Bay Rays. I told you because I like going up against that Kansas City Royals offense. Right now after the first inning. My boy Matt Andrews has a four nothing lead. He's looking good to get a win in

that one. That's the way I hold you down. And when it comes to basketball, we talk about my man Don Burns. He is the basketball correspondent for the Fantasy Freestyle, and we got a big game five that I want to get at you real quick, Donnie Burns, about Spurs at home taking on the Rockets in the Battle of Texas. Here game five in that series where you have officially flip flopped. So I just wanted to make sure I get you on record because I think this is the

night it goes down. I think this is the night where the Houston Rockets get that all important road victory in this series. I think they make twenty one three pointers tonight and that will be enough to put them in the one twenties. I don't think San Antonio can keep up with them. I think they have nothing but Kauai Leonard. I think uh A Dredge continues to defecate the mattress, he will not score twenty. I think this is where Houston takes the three to lead and then

they go back home and win it. In Game six. I'm on the record. I need to hear you on the record, Donnie Burns. Yeah, well, I'm gonna have to stay with my you know, my original pick. But here's the thing, No, you have you don't have an original pick. You flip flop back and forth. Bro. No, I know I picked the Rockets originally, but when asked like how the series is going, I have to answer from an analysis standpoint, like I'm not gonna change my pick. I said,

Rockets if the Rockets happen to not win. But I'm just analyzing how I see it each game, you know what I mean. Like at this point, like I've said many times, it's it's reliant on the Rockets hitting those twenty three pointers. But and the same breath, it's also home court advantage, and I'm gonna stay with my pick. But like I said, it's just analyzing what I'm seeing at this point. I thought at one point when we had it, like will it be seven games or less?

You went over and said you voted Spurs and seven No, so I m seven. Okay, So you first thought the Rockets were gonna win the series. Then you have the Spurs in seven, so you're sticking with Spurs in seven. Correct, Okay, we now have the official I mean, you know, it's hard to nail Donnie Burns down. That's why they call him the love doctor um don Burns officially says Spurs.

And I think this is where it flips. I think the Rockets get that road win and ultimately win it when this series and move on to see the Golden State. But how do you think if they move on, how do you see them faring? What's the main key to them beating the Warriors outscore them? They have to do the same thing. The Rockets have to do the same thing. They are the only team who could continue to play their game. Yes, I think they're more. Yes, I I

think the Rockets. I don't think they're gonna win the series, but I don't think it'll be a sweep either. And in the games that the rock in the game or two that the Rockets do win, it'll be Houston one Golden State on Houston one thirty three Golden State. I think that's the only chan as they have. But that is their approach, and they know if they play their approach, you know, if they bring their a game. That said, I think it would be enough to even outscore the Warriors.

I don't think, however, they have a chance of doing that four out of seven times. Now, I do have a question for you, because this happens to be part of our polls mostly almost every day up until the finals. If the Calves see the Warriors in the finals, and the Calves are able to defeat the Warriors in the finals with the Kevin Durant on their team, is Lebron James in the conversation for best player? Ever? I think you're I think he's already in the consta Ever, I

think he's in the conversation already. If he does this again, with this, like with this you know, kind of ridiculous Warriors team that has been like forming like vultron for the express purpose of taking him down, and he does it again, I mean, you know maybe, I mean i'd have to. He he's definitely in the conversation. I don't know, I'd have to. I'd have to. Uh, you know, let's cross that bridge. What we get to it though? But talking about basketball. But we can't talk basketball these days

without talking about the Ball family. And uh that's right. And you know, listen, the big ball of brand. They put out those shoes. Donnie Burns specifically noted that not only could you get the shoes for four hundred and ninety five dollars, but you could get the flip flops, the ice slides. But what was it like two d Yeah, just that's a cool, No problem, no problem. But you know, check this out. This is not the only way that

the Triple B brand is out there. Okay, uh a Lonzo ball following in our boy Levy on Bell's footsteps. Dropped the track. He dropped the track. Don he dropped the track. It's like kind of maybe a little freestyle over drake beat. But it's been getting a lot of play, all right, so you've heard it. I've heard it. Let's let the fantasy freestyle listeners here. We got a little snippet were gonna play because you know, we gotta keep it clean for all our Sports Byline affiliates, of course,

but we got we found a little bit. We found a verse that we could play. Dottie Burns, uh, let's play zoe rapping for the Triple B Big Brawler brand. Had to do it for the coaching oh faces like the boat as y'all hayting then we know this angry faces when you post them, but I gotta stay focused dead weight on my show, this talk trash, get straight shots, no pumps, help, no stunts hit him and one hold up let me push it up. That was that whop mingo Mama Yo boy taking up Mike Jonan front the

Free Though I don't want you. He can get you good looking, but you see through your team that my people we do other problems never equal being bubbling, not just add a rabbit promotor fake. Okay, So there you have a little sneak peek of a Lonzo ball. I gotta tell you the truth. Sounds like just any other kind of Is this trap music done? Uh? I wouldn't say the house. I wouldn't say it's a trap beat or a trap song because I know the original this, but it's a it's good. I'm a hip as a

hip hop guy. I like the melody and I like his flow. Really, as I've said on record, I like this shoe. Man, You're kind of you're kind of feeling the man. You like the shoe. I'm gonna see you with some two d un later on this weekend the summertime. Well, we're doing shows live outside here in Rock and Riley's, you know, and it's uh, you know, the roof is open. Am I gonna see you rocking rocking the Lonzo ball. If our fearless leader decides to bias all a pair,

I'd be down. But still then fair enough And I must I must note though here because we are at Rock and Riley's in Studio thirty four for the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and we are directly across the street from Madison Square Garden where right now there is Game six and the New York Rangers have allowed a goal to the Ottawa Senators. It is the Ottawa Senators one nothing, earl Le in the first period, taking the juice out of the building. Senators up on the Rangers, one nothing

in the first period. Here's what I want to get into, uh, Donnie. You know we put the fun and functional sports radio. You know, we played a little alonzo ball where you were getting big at Levy on Bell and he had his tracks as well. But you know, last weekend was single de Mayo and sometimes people go a little too far on Sinco de Mayo, and sometimes athletes go a little too far. And uh, I got a list here Donnie of the stupidest athlete arrests that have ever happened.

And some of these stories are you know, kind of involves violence and things in that nature, and I wanted to stay away from those. You know, obviously you got plactical buris, you know, shooting himself in the in the leg, Chad, or bobbing himself as it were. But I want to ask you, I got a couple of I got a couple of what I would think, are you know, just straight dumb stupid? And when we put the fun and functional sports radio, I want to see how you would

rank these. Okay, sounds good? Alright. So in two thousand six, NFL linebacker to Honey Jones, he was arrested because cops bursted into a club that he was in down in Florida and told him because they came in and busted the club, they shut it down right to Honey Jones, however, refused to stop dancing in the club, so he was arrested for disobeying a lawful command because he wouldn't stop dancing after the police shut down the club. That's the bar we're looking at here. Okay, I can see where

these are going. That's the bar. That's the bar we're looking at. Oh boy, you know, we've been talking about him all football season. We talked about our boy, punter Pat McAfee, who has tired. That is in you know, it is in our business. Shall we say? Um, Your guy in two thousand and ten was arrested for public and oxycation. But it wasn't He wasn't found on the street. He was found in the city's sewage canal swimming. So he was found swimming, was arrested for a public intoxication.

So you've got Pat McAfee in two thousand ten swimming in the city sewage canal. You got the Honey Jones and the club and oh six wouldn't stop dancing, disobeying lawful command. What about my man Nate Newton. Nate Newton in two thousand and one was busted for um two hundred, two hundred and thirteen pounds of marijuana. Now that's not the stuff that Demorris Smith was talking about. Okay, if you got two hundred and thirteen pounds of weed, yo,

you're you're that's not your own casual use. You're sort of like a trafficker, it sounds like, but here's the thing. He got busted for two hundred thirteen pounds of weed. Then the next month he got busted four hundred seventy five pounds of weed. That's a lot of weed, Donnie. Yeah, that's not your uh therapy. Yeah, yeah, that's not the therapeutic usage that they're talking about. What's I'm missing? So I don't know, I don't know, you know. And here's

the last one. Clay bull Holts, Clay Buckles, uh you know was was red Sox pitcher. He stole computers from a middle school in his town in two thousand and four and then tried to put put worse than cam He then tried to resell them to his community college. Oh that one's kind of rough. You think that one takes the cake, and you think that one takes the cake, that one or McAfee just because if you know or watch McAfee, he's he's a comedian, but he's a he's

a real pro. So yeah, real pro swimming in the sewage system exactly, all right. So I'm going with Clay bull Holts as the dumbest here because he tried, he caught away with it and then tried to resell that that one. The other two, the Donny Jones and the Pat McAfee. Listen, he just had They just had a little bit too much like single Demios celebration going on. I think I think they got to the worm at

the bottom of the tequila jar. And that's what, you know, that's what befelled the Honey Jones and Pat McAfee and then Nate Newton, he's just balling. He's he's trafficking with you know, this is this is almost tonnage of weed that he has. I don't know who's uh, you're you're riding with Pat McAfee on this, Yeah, probably selling the computers back. That was kind of like, yeah, might have to go with that one, all right. You know I'm being biased with Pat McAfee, so i'd have to go

with that one. You do love yourself some Pat McAfee. You love yourself some Pat McAfee. So real quick too. Baseball scores that I did not give you from the early slate because they are some big numbers and they really help people probably win that cash and when their leagues. Colorado Rockies beat the Cubs today ten to four, ten to four. It was Jake Garrietta getting the loss. His e r A is up to five point three five.

Remember that game was postponed, so they're playing a double header and the Texas Rangers at Petco take out the Padres eleven to nothing. Jared Weaver got bombed for the Padres, moving to oh and four with a six point eight one e r A on the season. Come on right back after the break, Donnie Burns and speeds the spitting statisician tie a nice little bow on this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. I'll up you, update you with a

couple of scores. Will check in on that pole and talk more about what we can be done about Matt Harvey. All that and more Fantasy Freestyle here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It should boy. Dane Martinez speeds the spitting Statistician and my man Donnie Burns on the ones and twos making us blow up like a Samsung seven. Come on right back after this Fantasy Freestyle Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're looking for those p I

m p s on the DFS slate. You might have found something since and Natty I told you the Yankees took a to nothing lead on the Reds wh The Reds have stormed back against c C. Sabathia. They are now up five to two after two winnings in the Great American Small Park. Though for the Yankees, Gary Sanchez with a homer coming back from that biceps issue. I also want to tell you, uh of you guys say that you should just leave it alone with Matt Harvey

kind of move on. Only ten agree with me that they need to send him to Triple A to clear his head, or the thtent that say try to trade him. I really think that this could be the straw that broke the camel's back as it relates to the Mets and Matt Harvey. Last thing I want to tell you

quick note that I want to share. You know, I'm not like a memorabilia guy in baseball or for anything for any memorabilia, to be quite honest, but I can understand how you know, Cubs fans really want to cherish some of the memorabilia, some of the artifacts for their first World Series winning a hundred and eight years. But Donnie Burns first base from Game seven of the World Series last year was auctioned off. How much do you

think it's sold for? Geezhi, what thousand number? It is not fifty eight thousand, Try twice that it was a hundred and one thousand, two hundred and thirty seven dollars someone paid to have first base from Wrigley Field when the Cubs finally did in fact win the World Series. So you know, hopefully those guys, Goney, you come into some money. Yeah, I know, maybe they could help me with my bank roll. You know that little fan duel, we could yeah, we could give it help us get

to the big big three. Also, if he's got that kind of money or he or she, I can help them turn that into a little something something. Tune in tomorrow here on the Fantasy Freestyle when I'm gonna give you guys more people that will help you win your leagues and win that cash, because that is what we do here on the Fantasy Freestyle, And no doubt, Donnie Burns and I will be talking about Game five of

the Spurs and Rockets. I think the Rackets break out today, get that lead and then go home and win it in six. We'll find out coming back tomorrow. You know, that's what we do. We hold ourselves accountable. Donnie Burns and Dade Martinez. We're gonna be having fun. Put the fun and Functional Sports Radio.
