it should avoid? Jane Martinez a k A. Speeds a k A to Spitting Statistician And you are listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. As always, I want to give a big shout out to our sports byline affiliates around the country. You know, it's a Friday. Maybe the people are out happy hour listening across the country and also to the service men and women out there around the world getting a little taste of home. As your boy, the Spitting Statistician helps

We are here in Studio thirty four at Rock and Riley's where a lot of people are getting ready for the weekend. Also, it is a Friday, and uh I got my man the Night Owl JP filling in on a Friday here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I'm really excited to have him with me this episode because we really need to get a true millennial opinion on

a lot of things. I'm gonna give you my starting lineup going into this week and tell you which starters to play to help you win your leagues and win that cash, not only tonight but all wee can long. Also, I know if you've been listening to Fantasy Freestyle or even back when it was Shot Callers back in the day, we had the greatest of all time TV tournament back in March. Okay, we are going to unveil the topic of our next brackets that we're gonna be doing all

summer long. Also, as usual, we're going to continue to talk about this Floyd Mayweather Connor McGregor fight, which, uh, I don't even know if we should call it a fight. And that brings me to our poll question tonight, do you consider what is the purpose of this fight that's going down on August in the desert? The options are is it a legit boxing match, is it just a pure exhibition, or is it a business and promotional deal between Connor and Floyd. The poll results so far are

absolutely amazing. Going over to F and T s Y Radio on Twitter or check me out as you always can, ask me some questions. Follow me at Spitting Speeds you will see how amazing this poll is developing right now. It's kind of the it's it's it's unique in pole history for Fantasy Freestyle. But when we come back, I'm gonna give you what you need to know this weekend around Major League Baseball. Who's hurt, who to start, and what you need to do to win your leagues and

win that cash it should boy. Dane Martinez speeds and spitting statistician, I got the night out with me on a Friday here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm your boy, Dame Martinez speeds and spitting statistician, holding you down. I got the night out with me JP on a Friday. We're gonna get his opinion on a whole mess of things a little bit

later on in our show. What I want to do is, as usual, start off by giving you what you need to win that cash in Major League Baseball tonight. Remember if you want to get at me at any point this hour, though you absolutely can at eight four four, eight four three six eight seven nine. You could always catch us at F and T s Y Radio on Twitter,

at Spitting Speeds on Twitter. And remember you could always just download the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app or subscribe to Fantasy Freestyle anywhere you get your podcast this way, just like any championship qualiber lineup, you said it, you forget it, and that's all you need for to spit in statistician. Well going around baseball though tonight in our starting lineups. Yankees had some injuries after midnight once again

last night. Gary Sanchez, their stud catcher, tweaked his groin is listed as day to day after stealing second base in the ninth inning. He was then lifted um so check him out if you may need to uh find another catcher for the weekend. Also, their outfielder who has been killing it lately, Aaron Hicks, with has an achilles issue. He was replaced late in the game last night against the Oakland A's on the West Coast. Same thing happened to Giants stud catcher Buster Posey, he had an ankle injury.

He actually did this while hitting a home run. He'll be listed as day to day for the weekend as well. Tigers stud hitter Miguel Cabrera, he's admitting now that he is playing through a back injury. He's got a lot of injuries. It seems like, you know, he is getting up there in age. Hasn't been hisself, but many people would admit Miguel Cabrera at five percent is still better than most. However, someone who is not playing through an injury,

and this could be serious. The Tigers have put Victor Martinez on the d L. He has a heart condition that they need to monitor. So UM, you know, we hope that everything White warns out okay with Victor Martinez and the Detroit Tigers. Also some people coming back tonight. UM Rangers are bringing back Mike Napoli and Carlos Gomez. They will have them both in their lineup tonight against

the Seattle Mariners. They'll be facing James Paxton. You're gonna hear that name in a couple of minutes as well. Last thing I'm gonna tell you is it may be time to start to stashuh Angels closure of Houston Street. He may be on the road to recovery and actually return for the Angels sometime late next week. If you own something like Bud Norris right now, let's say you may want to look into the timetable on Houston Street. We got worried he may be back in only eight

week's time. All right, time to catch you guys up on what happened last night. I told you about who to play in order to win some cash last night. The question was where you can to pay up all the way for Chris Sale. He was going against the Phillies at eleven thousand, five hundred and he was facing a guy named Nick Pavetta who had a five point five e r A going into it now. Chris Sale was awesome. He went eight innings, struck out ten, only

gave up one run. He even hit a double in the eighth inning, which I thought was going to give the Red Sox a lead. It did not happen. Sale ultimately went on to lose one nothing in that game. Trust me, I know because I had a Red Sox stack that didn't go well. I also had a couple of shekels on the Boat Sox and that didn't go well either, because Nick Pavetta pitched amazingly, but sale still got you some good fantasy points. The guys I told you to try and beat him did not work out

as well. They did not get quality starts. Jeff Hoffman, I told you was the bargain basement play. He pitched all right against the Giants, but only when five innings, did not get the qualities start in a game that ultimately ended ten nine in favor of the Rockies. Hoffman, though, did only give up one run in five innings, so if you went that route, he probably did in fact return value on only your sixties six hundred. Now I gotta tell you who you need to start all weekend

long tonight. Listen. If you want to go with the Max Scherzer as the expensive guy twelve thousand, four hundred, you can do that. But there are two people that I like a lot tonight in the eight thousand range. The first one is James Paxson. James Packston at eight

seven hundred tonight I think is great. First of all, remember he's going up against Tyson Ross, who's making his season debut um for the Texas Rangers coming back, so you don't think he's gonna um even if he is pitching well, he's not gonna go long in that game. So you're gonna see some bullpen from the Rangers, which I think bodes well for the Mariners. And also Texas has the lowest o b P in the American League against lefties. There on base is only two hundred ninety four.

That is a very low on base percentage. They're ops against lefties so far this season is six fifty six. That is also worst in the American League. I think that sets up for Paxton to have a nice outing tonight. Remember he hasn't been as dominant since he came back from the disabled list, but I think he has a good outing tonight and a good matchup against the Rangers. So I like him at eight hundred. Also coming up, and you can still put this guy in your lineup

because this game has not gone off yet. I like Junior Gara tonight eight one hundred against San Diego. Listen, San Diego is running out Miguel Diaz, who has an almost seven e r A. I know Guerra has not had the strikeout rates that you like to see in a DFS matchup. But he hasn't given up more than three runs in any start this season. And the San Diego Padres have the worst offense in the major leagues. That used to be the Kansas City Royals and why I have been fading the Royals a lot over the

course of the last month. But the Padres now have the lowest run total in Major League Baseball. I've only scored two hundred forty three runs so far this season. I'm sorry to the Unicorns out there on the West Coast. The Padres are the worst off fence. I like Junior Guerra tonight against them. Also, if you want Alex wood Is out there tonight on He's had seven or more strikeouts in five of his LAX games. But I do not like the park shift. Going to Cincinnati, the Great

American small Park. If you want to try to beat Max Scherzer tonight, James Paxton at eighty seven and Junior Ga at eighty one are the ways to go on Saturday this weekend. You got some good matchups that I like. Listen, one of the things I've been telling you is about how the White Sox cannot hit left right e's. You got a good righty going against them on Saturday. Marcus Stroman. I like Stroman tomorrow against the Right Sox. Also they're

facing Mike Pelfrey. Come on now, Pelfrey is one of as Tony Sankata and Benny RICCARDI like to say on DFS Lineup Lock, which proceeds this show Monday through Friday on most of our Sports Byline affiliates on the American Forces Radio Network, and of course right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. What they say is that Mike Pelfrey is one of the top five gas cans in Major League Baseball. So I like Stroman tomorrow against the White Sox as a righty and with a

bad opponent. I also like Zach Godly. Zack Godley is probably gonna be a cheaper option tomorrow. I've been on Godly. I told you that that phantom tripped down to the miners was just rothsto manipulation by the Diamondbacks. He continues to be strong. I like Zack Godly tomorrow and then on Sunday on Father's Day. First of all, big shout out to all the fathers out there, all the biological fathers out there, and all the fathers who were really raising kids out there. Also to macab out there, big

shout out, Happy Father's Day on Sunday. What I like is Jamison Tyne against the Cubs. Remember he came back from testicular cancer and I and he had a good outing. But I think he's now gonna start to get built up, go longer, and that Cub's offense is actually just average. I think he'll be low owned, and maybe Jamison Tyne on Father's Day the other guy I'll give you listen. And I have been saying this for months now on the Fantasy Freestyle. I don't know what it will take

for you to listen to me. Robbie Ray, Robbie Ray at Philadelphia on Father's Day. I have been hyping him up as a diamond in the rough ever since our team by team previews preseason, when I said that Robbie raised two hundred and eighteen strikeouts last year, we're gonna happen again, and that he would reduce his other rates, his control, his e r A. And that's what has happened. He is over the last thirty days, he is the number one overall rated player in the game of Fantasy baseball.

A zero point to four e r A and a zero point six to whip. This man has struck out forty eight batters in his last thirty seven innings, and your boys, Speeds, the spitting statistician, has been on him since the jump. He'll also be good on Father's Day this weekend if you don't want to listen to If you don't want to listen to Speeds, though, you could also just get the Exclusive Edge in Season Fantasy Baseball package because it is your ultimate bench coach for the

Yes, you know, I got JP the Night Out filling in right here on the Fantasy Freestyle. He just dropped a little bit of jadea kiss with y'all. Ain't none of y'all better?

There it is. We're gonna find out why when we come back here on the Fantasy Free Style on the old award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. I got my boy JP the night Owl filling in here on a Friday night. Coming back with that day la. Oh you know what it is here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're gonna hear a little bit from my man the Night Out a little bit later on, just

like as if it was Chris Bavona. We're gonna catch him up on all the good polls and all the good stories that we had the Fun and Functional Sports Radio a little bit later on. But you know, as we get into the cipher, I first have to give you my news and notes around the NFL, and we start with Bears wide receiver Kevin White. They say he is quote unquote back to full speed at mini camp.

He's been nursing the whole host of leg injuries. I'm already gonna slap that injury prone tag on him, but he could find up being one of the most productive wide receivers with the Bears. Remember, I'm gonna be starting to give you my team by team breakdowns and uh when we go to the Bears, I'm gonna have a lot to say, um with about that wide receiver room and also a certain way you may be able to uh win some cash with the Chicago Bears. Stay tuned

for my team by team previews starting next week. Friends of free agent wide receiver and Kwan Bolden say that he wants to try to play in or near his home in Florida. Remember a long time ago at this point he went to Florida state that I don't see a need really and say like Tampa where they signed to Seawan Jackson or Jacksonville where they already have the Allen's. In Miami, you also already have guys like Parker and Landry,

so I don't know about that. But down south that opens up a window for say a team like Tennessee, where Eric Decker visited this week. And did not sign a contract. What about Carolina, where they you know, doubled down drafting guys like Samuel and McCaffrey, and maybe they're, uh, you know, maybe their strategy of getting big targets because Cam Newton's margin of errow was two big guys like Fungis and Benjamin. Maybe they are evolving their thinking there.

But I would not be surprised if An Kwon Bolden latches on after any kind of injury or anything like that, along with Eric Decker. I mean, you could almost make a team of free agents right now that would be better than my j E. T S Jets, Jets Jets. If you had Bolden and Deck are out there, you could still have guys like Rashad Jennings and D'Angelo Williams in the backfield. You could still have guys that are on the street that will probably better than my Jets.

But I digress. As we move on, the Colts have placed Christine Michael on injured reserve. This is a guy who continued to be like a fantasy Darlin. Everyone wanted to give him a chance, but it's just not happening for him. In a corresponding move, they added running back Tremaine Pope. I guess Frank Gore is still the workhouse if there is one there in Indianapolis. Robert Turban had

a good end to the season. Maybe they are a team still in the market to sign someone else, you know, maybe when a Ryan Matthews gets cut from Philly, as I think would happen. Know there's still some guys that might be out there. Also important to note that Jags cornerback Jalen Ramsey had core muscle surgery this week. It must have suffered this injury during mini camp. He should be fine for preseason. Remember, I think the Jaguars could be an up and coming team if only they got

help from the quarterback position. We shall see. But like I said, football buzzes upon us. I'm gonna be starting to break down what every team has to offer in terms of, you know, from a fantasy standpoint, in terms of how you could potentially win some money with them in the futures lines and over team over under totals. All that will start in earnest next week here on the Fantasy Freestyle. One of the things that was truly the buzz of the week was this announcement that the

Floyd Mayweather Connor McGregor fight is officially on. I told you guys that was gonna happen on Monday Show. I told you they were gonna announce it this week. I'm telling you right now again this fight is nothing more than a grap ab of um of attention for this summer, as soon as the NBA Finals was over, before football starts, and nothing more than a payday. I have been telling you guys all week long, and the line had continues to move. For some reason. People think Connor McGregor has

a chance in this. I'm telling you again he does not. This is nothing more than an exhibition to try to build up the brand of both fighters and get that cash. Listen, Connor McGregor has never made more than three million dollars in a fight in the UFC, ten million when you count the pay per view money. He's gonna make a hundred million dollars for this fight. And I'm gonna tell you something else after this, Connor McGregor is never going

back to the octagon. He is going to become a promoter the same way as Floyd Mayweather, the same way as Oscar de la Hoya and Bernard Hopkins. And that's why we have this pole question up right now Ron Twitter, at F and T s Y Radio and at Spitting Speeds, and we have something that we have never seen before on a poll question. What I asked out there on the poll question right now is what do you consider the true purpose of this event on August? Do you

think it's a competitive boxing match? Do you think it's an exhibition showcase? Or do you think it's a straight business promotional deal. And I am overwhelmed right right now. Nineties seven percent of you that have voted say that it's just a business promo deal, three percent of you say it's an exhibition showcase. Zero percent of the people that have voted so far say it is a competiting box of match. And so if that's the case, why then has Fun Mayweather gone from minus undred all the

way down to minus seven hundred right now? If zero percent of you think it's a competitive boxing match, That's what I don't get. I think it's very interesting the public is getting played. I was talking to my man, Gabe Morancy, who does you know Moranty unfiltered Sports Rage here on the Fantasy Sports Network. He's saying, wait, it's gonna go down even three hundred. If it gets the three hundred minus three hundred, go to the A t

M and put all your money on Floyd Mayweather. Like I said, zero percent of you think this is a real boxing match. Manny Pacio couldn't barely hit him, Kindo Alvarez could barely score on him. Let me tell you else who thinks this is not going to be a competitive boxing match. Former ib O middleweight champ Chris Van Herden, who actually sparred with Conor McGregor and has felt actual power.

Former ib O middleweight champ. Check out what he had to say about this Conno McGregor Floyd Mayweather matchup night out. Let's play that now, please you. Actually you've sparred with Connor right off SPA with Connor, off season, coming from a holiday, out of shape, right basically playing in this endem on being me a little bit, not even not even focused, not even in a camp, out of shape.

He's talking snake. Say he did this avacation not even in shape, and he was able to whoop Connor and scoring his handsful landing on Connor because of Connor's skill and food with a movement I mean, I'm no, I'm not my weather right and out of camp, out of shape. I landed on Onconomy. My train of Julian was ringside, it was in my corner and we landed at all. It is crazy to think that people can actually compare a fighter that's oh no, in a boxing competitib to

a to a legend that's foine. This is real. People has beaten the base of the base in the world. But let's say that he actually is able to land on Floyd. Does he have enough knockout power to end that fight? No? Well that was a pretty straight before Madonna. That landed before he got he got my Danna hit him like he's been able to take punches before the opportunity of working with Shane that can punch. He's been hit by guys that can punch, and he didn't go down.

You can take that off now night. I'll check this out, you know, and honestly here but here's the funny part. As that goes on, and that was credit to TMZ Sports. As that goes on, though, this guy Chris Van hern In, the former IBO champion, says though that he wants to be on the undercard and he even said he wants la More Peterson on the under card. You know why he added that in because this is going to be an event. Everybody wants to get their piece of the pie.

You know who else wants to be part of this? Check this out. Ocho Sinko wants to be on the card. Literally, he came out today saying he hopes he can find a way to get down on the card on August twenty six. Everybody knows this is just a straight money making event. On the flip side, though, if you want a real fight, let me tell you something. Andre Ward versus kova Lev this weekend, Sergey the Crusher Covallev, this

is going to be a fight. They had a fight about six months ago that was a kind of controversial decision when they were both undefeated. I fight. I actually thought Kovalev had that fight one. But they have a rematch tonight. I'm telling you right and uh tomorrow night. I'm telling you right now, that is going to be a much better fight then the random event that's gonna happen.

I'm still gonna talk about it and the hype it up, but this is gonna be just straight branding for the notorious one as he moves from UFC start a more mainstream star. I'm telling you right now, everyone is just trying to get down with it. You know what else, though, I wanted to tell you guys real quick, as we have the cipher, I want to get into Uh, I'm gonna unveil what we're doing here for our next greatest of all time. But the first way, let me, night Al.

Can you give me that next clip? This is Charlie Sheen talking about what he's trying to get into and this is going to help me unveil the next greatest of all time brackets here on Fantasy Freestyle. Let's get that, Night Night Al. What's next? Project Free? Are we trying to get Major like three done? I hope? So? Yeah? Thank you? What stage are we have with that? It's just looking for someone to write a check? You know? Yeah?

The original everybody's back Etcep Sadle, Louke Brown, Oh yeah yeah, yeah, I mean all right there, JP. I don't know if you could tell, but that is Charlie Sheen talking about that Major League three maybe in the works, and I am yo. Major League three is quite frankly my favorite, one of my favorite sports movies of all time, right up there with things like white men Can't Jump. And I'm excited to say that here on Fantasy Freestyle. Over the summer, we are going to crown the greatest sports

movie of all time. You remember we did that TV tournament. We're gonna have brackets baseball movies, football movies, basketball movies, other sports movies, and Major League is sitting as the three seed in the baseball movies region. I'm telling you, night Out, you may be too young to remember this, but my man Maddie Mo is here in you right now saying, of course Major League needs to be one of the top seeds in the baseball bracket. We're gonna

do it. I'm gonna give you some more details. But when we come back here, my man JP the night Owl will be in the hot seat as we try to see if he can predict what the Fantasy Freestyle voters were saying on some of the polls and what his reaction is to some of the stories we've been talking about here putting the fun and functional sports radio. It's gonna be great to get a millennials perspective because we've been talking about some things in college as well,

JP is in college. He can talk to us the night Owl on the Fantasy Freestyle. When we come back here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network, We're doing a sports movie, Greats of All Time. Let's go, baby. Brackets will start Monday. It's your boy, Dane Martinez Speeds, the spitting Statistician. Come on back, JP, tonight Ow Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

It is a Friday evening here at Studio thirty four and Rock and Riley's in Midtown Manhattan. We're, you know, trying to hold you down for the weekend. Happy early Father's Day to all the fathers out there, all the step fathers, all the godfathers, all the all the positive male adult role models out there that are acting as fathers to everybody coming up in the coming up in the times. Right now, Hey, um, I got my man JP, the night Owl here. He's gonna join us for this segment.

As you know, he's our intern here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and so you know, every now and then he's got to do the Friday night because sometimes other people don't, you know, got other things to do. But yo, JP, I'm telling you that's how I got my start as well. You gotta just say yes to things and make it pop off. So you're ready to get into it. And first of all, JP, what do you think about this greatest sports movie of all time? Bracket?

I I hear now al Pacino is gonna be playing Joe paternal in a movie they're doing on HBO this summer. That movie will the Sandusky movie will not be in our bracket. What's your favorite sports movie of all time? JP, I'm gonna have to take a classic. I'm gonna go with Dodgeball. My favorite dodgs Ball is in our brackets. Dodgeball is in our brackets. Though I will say this, it is a seven seed in our other sports bracket. Okay, and the other sports that weren't basketball, baseball or football.

There are some other movies that I had to put. I agree Dodgeball as a classic, but we had to put things ahead of it. We have to put things like Rocky Caddy Shack, the Karate Kid, Slapshot, Mighty Ducks, things like that. We're above Dodgeball, but Dodgeball definitely did make the cut. Everyone's gonna be able to start voting for those um starting next week as we have a matchup, JP, your Dodgeball in the first round. Your dodgeball movie sees the movie Miracle in the first round, I believe about

the U. S Olympics hockey team. How do you feel about that first round matchup? That's gonna be a tough matchup. Those are two great movies, all right, So we'll see all summer long. You'll be able to keep track on that as we look to crown the greatest sports movie of all time. JP, you were not here in March. What we did the greatest TV show of all time? I'll give you a guess as to what the final matchup was, do you know? I? Okay, So we had that in the we had a sitcom region, a drama region,

a cartoon region, and a reality region. It wound up being the champion of the sitcom region against the champion of the drama region. Does that help you at all? Just sports related in anyway? No? No, this was just greatest TV show of all time. If I'm shooting out of the dark outsite Seinfeld. Seinfeld was in the final, but it lost in the final two, breaking bad in a very close fifty one to vote. But this will be the greatest sports movie of all time that we're

crowning this summer. We'll see how far your movie Dodgeball gets to go. Okay, As you know, though, JP the night Out, we put the fun in Functional Sports Radio. So first thing I want to do, man, you know, I want to see if you're able to see what um our voters said on one of the earlier polls.

Remember I talked about the Jacksonville Jaguars and how Jalen Ramsey had surgery blah blah blah, and how I thought the Jags might have been an up and coming team, but you know they're saddled with Bordles service Blake Bortles as their quarterbacks. So I asked people on a poll question, do you think the Jaguars would be a playoff team if they got average quarterback play? The choices were no, yes, and they're a playoff contender right now with Blake Bortles.

Those are the three options. I want to ask you, what do you think one that poll and what percentage do you think actually said that the Jaguars were playoff contenders right now with Blake Bortles, I'm gonna go with they think they're playoff contender without portals. But I'll say of the people said with Boardles their playoff contender. Of the people said that they are still a contender with Blake Bortles, and no people of the people actually said, no,

they are not. They would still not be a playoff contender even if they got average quarterback play. Surprising. Huh yeah, a surprising. Alright, alright, um, so you're all for one, You're o for one. JP. We gotta uh, we gotta get you a little bit better here, we gotta we gotta have you come strong. We've getting this one right. I also asked our listeners after the Golden State Warriors finished their you know kind of coronation in game five

at Oracle. You know a lot of people are talking about, oh, it's a dynasty or it's dynasty, and we talked about how hard it is to keep dynasty's together. So I asked people who would be the first of the four all stars on the Golden State Warriors to ultimately leave Golden State and try to uh, you know, maybe become the man somewhere else. Who would be the first to break up what they got going there in a possible dynasty in Golden State. Do you think people voted for

Steph Draymond, Clay or Kevin Durant. I think it was a runaway and I think it was Clay Thompson. You are correct, my friend right back in it. Six pc of the people said a Thompson, seventeen percent said Draymond, twelve said Kevin Durant. Only six percent said that it would be ultimately Steph Curry who moves away. All right, here's what I want to get into because I need your perspective, night Owl, because you know you're you're in college right now, right You're what are we going into

your sophomore year? Is that right? Yes? At Temple University, big things. That's why he's part of this, part of the reason why he is, in fact the night Owl, because he doesn't send Temple the owls out there. Okay, So we did a piece. I don't know if you're familiar with this JP, the University of Central Florida kicker. Okay, this guy has you know, he's a student athlete, but

he also has his own YouTube channel that's pretty successful. Okay, and um, his YouTube channel gets fifty fifty five something like that, thousand subscribers to every video he does, and he has something like two million views. Okay, that's even more than the spitting statistician here on Fantasy Freestyle. Are you like? That's a lot? That's good stuff. And he is now to the point on his YouTube channel where

he gets advertisements and gets paid sponsors and advertisements. Well, the n C double A came in and said no, no, no. As a student athlete, he could not earn money, and they are forcing him to either shut down his YouTube channel or give up college football. How do you feel about that as a you know, as a college person yourself. I mean, I've heard a lot of different college perspectives from Division one athletes, and a lot of people are

really offended by this, like it's it's crazy. So I mean, like, what would you do if you're in this situation? And he talks about it how like he really loves he's a marketing major for goodness sakes, and he really loves you know, the work that he's doing, you know, producing, editing, trying to entertain people. But he also loves college football and sees that even as a potential path to help

his family out. You know, um, if he makes it big, you know, and this money that he was getting from his YouTube channel was going to also help his family that was like in Costa Rica and live in check to check. Um, you know what what would you do if you were in that kind of situation. I mean, I can't even imagine being in that situation. But from an outside perspective, I'm running with the YouTube channel. But okay, it's agreed just that college football does this to the

poor kid. Yeah, I agree, I agree. I just I didn't know how it was, you know, being in college. You know, it's been a few years since I've been in college. Big shout out to the Syracuse Orange. You know what it is when I was in the mess halls out there and like Flint and Day and Bruceter and Bowyan and the Kimmel Center, big things over there. But um, all right, so check this out. There was another school where student athletes tried to earn some money. JP.

Are you familiar with the Coastal Carolina cheerleading team? I am you are? Oh wow, So then you know what has happened with their team. They have been banned because twenty six of their members, and it was kind of like a little hazing thing. They gotta counts on a website called Seeking Arrangements dot Com. Are you familiar with this? JP? Yeah, okay,

tell me about this. How do you feel? Because you know you were talking about how you you you have friends that are D one athletes and that are all shook up about not being able to earn These girls were getting money, um because of things that they found on Seeking Arrangements dot Com. Is this different for you as a student athlete? Was their hazing involved beer, pressure, bullying and the like? Does this? Do you feel different about this? Because this entire team was shut down and banned.

I think this goes one and the same. I mean, however, you want to make money, it's legal. However you want to make money, you said, I mean, I also I am. There is no judgment here on the Fantasy Freestyle. If you listen to Fantasy Freestyle, you know this is a judgment free zone. We talk about everybody's rights, and here the question is can the student athlete earn um? I do?

I will say though, night Ow that apparently this was a thing that there was also like a hazing element, you know, where the upper costsman almost forced incoming freshmen to kind of build accounts on this website, and if you're not in familiar, this website led to them doing things like, you know, being the shot girl at a strip club or taking on you know, kind of like dates, uh for pay. I'll leave it at that. You can check out the story yourself. UM. I hear you on

the right to earn? But what about the hazing component of this JP. That's where the line I think has to be drawn, because that's a bad look for the n t A in general in that they're like, Okay, that's not right, fair enough, fair enough, Um, let's keep it moving out here. Let's put one of the other things we were talking about as we put the Fun and Functional Sports Radio JP. Are you familiar with how much Rihanna hates Kevin Durant A little bit, but not

as much as I probably should be. Okay, okay, So you know Game one, Rihanna was like literally shouting brick. She was talking smack dabbing on the fans in Oracle, you know. And even now after Kevin Durant got his ring, got his shine and all this, Rihanna says had a quote that I would love your reaction to. She says, it's all good for Kevin Durant winning his championship by joining a seventy three win team is like a teenager losing his virginity to a stripper. How do you feel

about that? That is a crazy, crazy analogy, right, crazy analogy. I mean, but there is some I guess there's some truth to it on this whole like you know, like if you can't get it done the hard way, doing it the easy way? How do you feel about this whole thing? Kay d joining the squad? So if you asked me before the finals, I have been like, this is a total whimp out move. But he went out there, he bawled thirty game. I mean, how do you hate

on that? He absolutely? He absolutely did. He absolutely did. I think and also if you, if you, if you noted at times there were times where Steph Curry Draymond were also like deferring to him. I think everybody in that locker room knew that this was Kevin Durant's time to shine. You heard even Steve Kerr talking about it in press conferences. So I thought that was interesting. I want to bounce some I want to bounce one or two more things off. You're real quick here, j P,

j P. Are you a soccer fan at all? A bit? I enjoyed watching and playing a bit? Okay, well, um, you know you're probably aware of Lionel MESSI. Then are you aware though, that in China they have built an entire amusement park for Messy and it's called like Messy Land, and they they hope to get the quote unquote essence of Messy if you travel there. How do you feel about that? Does that sound fun or does that sound creepy to you? The only reason I'm aware of that

is because of you. Actually, that's that's interesting, But I don't know. I guess I'd have to hear more about it. So the question really remains, can any athlete in America be big enough right now to have that kind of brand? Like, for example, you think Lebron could have a Lebron theme park in Ohio and it would feel cool not creepy. That's the only one that I could think of. Other than that, I couldn't think of anything else. Okay, fair enough,

fair enough, fair enough. And the last thing I want to catch everybody up on here is um, there is a club soccer team in Massachusetts. Are you aware of this one that I'm gonna talk about. So there's a club soccer team in Massachusetts that was struggling to pay there. You know, their do their league fees, their equipment, their scheduling fees, all this that, and they got a sponsor that their main sponsor that took care of all their

financial commitments and is now prominently played on their shirts. Okay, but there's some people who think and it could cause a problem because kids are gonna start asking about it. And also, what if your kid asked you if you want to get this jersey? You know it's a problem. So h with that context, can you guess what the sponsor might be. I'm guessing it's something I don't know. You're gonna have to tell me. Red Tube is the sponsor. Okay, okay,

red Tube. If you're familiar with red Tube, and I know you are. You're a college guy who's a millennial, grew up with this internet thing, the interwebs and stuff like that, so I'm sure you're aware of this. They decided to become the main sponsor of this soccer club. So now their jerseys just say straight red tube across.

So I asked you, I mean, you're a young man, but if you were a dad, Happy Father's Day again to everybody, and you're you know, like your son or daughter was like nine years old, ask you know, like what's red tube but wants to buy you know, a jersey? How would you feel about that? This is this is a weird one because it's like I need the money, but you don't want your kids seeing that. I know, I know, So what would you do? Come on night now? We need decisions out of you. I don't want it.

They're okay, you're against you're against free speech and advertising. Apparently you're against this capitalistic society that we live in. I understand how it is. I understand that's fine, and that's fine. I'm not I'm not mad at you, per se. I just it's just now it's important to understand what your leanings are. And uh, that's what we've done here with the Night Owl JP, as we put the fun in functional sports radio here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

JP is gonna be holding it down all summer with us as we do a couple of things. We're gonna do the greatest sports movie of All Time tournament. My man Maddie Modika is in the building right now. Got his take on our seating. And also, you know we're gonna be covering everything, especially that marketing event that is Floyd Mayweather and Connor McGregor. We come back, We're gonna go around the league. Check out some scores in Major

League Baseball. Slide into the weekend. Happy Father's Day from everybody from your boy Speeds the fitting Statistician on the Fantasy Freestyle. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It's your boy, Dame Martinez, cruising you into a weekend. Up next to on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, my guys Joey Pizzapia and Matt Modica bringing you the Fantasy Black Book around the league already so far, Marlin's up on the Braves one nothing.

In the bottom of the first, we got the raise and the Tigers tied at one. Ian Kinseler with his fifth home run of the season, and that one Dodgers up in the Reds to nothing. Jock Peterson went yard there. The Nationals have put up two already on the Mets. Matt Weeders with his six home run. Those two runs probably all Max Scherzer will need. As my man Maddie Modica just said, incredible against the Mets at City Field.

They only have one hit so far White Sox all over the blue Jay's seven one and they're only in the second inning. However, the lone blue Jay run was Kendry's Morales is fourteenth home run of the season. You also have the Hardnels up in the Orioles to nothing, Phillies and Diamondbacks scoreless, and the Cubs up early on

the Pirates three nothing in the second inning. Like I said, though, we're gonna be covering that fight or maybe it's not even a fight, because nine percent of you call it a business and promo deal between Floyd Floyd Mayweather and Connor McGregor. Only three percent of you think it is a fight if anything. Right now, we've never had that before. But thanks to everybody that was voting at F and T, s Y Radio and at Spitting Speeds as well JP the Night Owl holding it down. It was great to

have you JP. How does it uh? How did it feel to be on some radio with that sports byline affiliates and with the service men and women out there on the American Forces Radio Network, holding it down, JP. How you feel. It's always a pleasure to be on, Dane. Thanks for having me as always. And like I said, man, keep grinding, keep grinding, and then you'll be producing or

doing whatever it is you want. Four reel. When I come back on Monday, Donnie Burns will be back in the building and we're gonna tell you about all the stuff we're doing for the Big Three League that's gonna be on in popping starting at Barclays next week. Uh for JP the night. Oh well, this is your boy,

Dane Martinez speeds and spitting Statistician once again. Happy Father's day out there to all the fathers, whether you are the biological fathers, the step fathers, or just positive adult rail role models out there in the lives where kids. Trust me, we need it given the tone and the rancor of what is going on in our country these days. But I digress. Let's talk about some fantasy sports here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Happy weekend, Speed to spitness Statistician. I'm out
