Tonight is day Martinez feeds the Spitting Statistician here on a Monday on a Fantasy Freestyle and the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Hey, this is very susman.

Every day will be an Eastern Fantasy pf apps here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Is
your boy Dane Martinez holding you down? On a Monday, Yo, there was a monsoon earlier today here at Rock and Riley's outside here on Studio thirty four. We got this nice little roof deck patio. It's been the summertime. People were, you know, hanging out and enjoying themselves here on a
happy hour time. But not today. Today we got like my phone went off because we had like a weather emergency, you know this, like and now everybody in the rooms phone goes off at the same time because there's like a flood watch or something. But hopefully everybody out there is all right. But uh, news and notes from around Major League Baseball real quick, because we gotta get into our starting lineup here on a Monday, we got eleven
games on the slate. Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia was hitting the hit by a pitch in the seventh inning last night. Okay, he actually was clear to travel with the team. He did make the trip with the Red Sox, however, he is listed as day to day. He got plunked in the rib cage. The Raise look like they may be getting some help coming back soon to Tampa Bay. They may by the end of the week activate former closer Brad Boxberger as well as cator
Wilson Ramos. Remember, Ramos was signed in the off season after he hit over three hundred for the Nationals last year. The Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Rieman, who as we know, is dealing with that wrist injury, he played catch for the first time in over a month. They still say he is still another month away, but it is encouraging sign that he's sort of beating some timetables of his rehab. Also, m R I came back clean on the wrist of
Cubs you super utility man Ben Zobrist. He may be activated from the disabled list by the end of the week. Also going on the disabled list for the Cleveland Indians. His outfielder Michael Brantley Brentley last week was put on the paternity leave list, okay for the birth of a child, but now they're moving him from the paternity list to the ten day d L because of an ankle um. Branley had a very nice start to the season has since cooled off. Wonder what kind of roster manipulation is
happening right here with the Cleveland Indians. And a sad news to pass along the Yankees. You know, stud prospect gliber torres Um got injured sliding into home in a in a Triple A game on son Day. He is going to have Tommy John surgery. A lot of people thought that the Yankees were gonna be calling up Torres at some point in the summer. That is now not going to happen this year. Labor Torres is going to have Tommy ja Don surgery. All right, Keeping it moving
here on the Fantasy Freestyle. You know how we do by now if you listen all the time, because this show, we hold ourselves accountable, not like some of these other people that just make predictions and then just go back on them. Whatever the case. Maybe uh, your boy speeds owns up to what he did. And over the weekend I told you about some people that you could have used to win that cash. I had some hits, some misses,
let's go through them. On Friday, I told you the way to go was to pay up for Max Scherzer, that he does incredible against the Mets, that he was worth the twelve thousand, four hundred, and he was. He'd do eight innings, giving up only one run, striking out ten as the Gnats beat the Mets seven to two on Friday. I also gave you a guy in the eight thousand range, and I thought it was gonna be good because he had seven or more strikeouts and five
of his last six starts. That was Alex Would. He didn't get you the seven caides, but he did go eight innings and only give up one run as the Dodgers won three to one against the Reds on Friday. Would is now seven and oh on the season. Check him out in season long as well. I'm sure he is well owned. On Saturday, though, remember I like Marcus Stroman because he was a righty going against those pits, poor Chicago White Sox against right e's and they were
against Mike Pelfrey. I was wrong, though. Stroman got you a quality start, but he did give up three runs in seven innings, only struck out five, and interestingly enough they lost to the White Sox and Matt Mike Pelfrey in that game. I also like Zack Godley. He was only okay, did get you the eight strikeouts, did not get a quality start though in his effort against Philly, and then I told you you could always go Straussburg. He only though, went five and a third. Only you know,
only struck out five. Did get you a win, but you probably could have done better. Hopefully you didn't pay up for Straussburg on Saturday and on Sunday. Listen, listen, I've been telling you about my man, Robbie Ray. I have been on the bandwagon. I have basically been the conductor of the bandwagon for Robbie Ray. He had a start last night yesterday against Philly in Philly, did not have his best stuff. Did strike out seven, but only when five and a third and gave up four runs.
Those seven strikeouts, you still like though, um moving along, though, you gotta ask yourself tonight where are you gonna go? Listen, I got some things to tell you tonight to try and win that cash here on a Monday. Remember, first of all, that Cleveland Baltimore game delayed at the start. Hopefully you listen to the DFS lineup block show because Benny Riccardi and Tony Sencata were talking about that. They also talked about how the Astros lineup was not yet out,
so that stack maybe low owned. We're gonna get back to that when we talk about our pictures as well. Tonight is a Clayton Kershaw tonight. He is at home against the Mets. You know, of course he's worth it, He's always worth it. But he's going for twelve thousand, five hundred tonight on fan duel. And you know you don't make any money going against Clayton Kershaw and DFS. But I will say this, you are never gonna get
guys like r ns. But as a hundred Michael CONFORDO at hundred, Jay Bruce at twenty three hundred, I don't think you could. But if you really want a zig where someone zags in a tournament play, I mean, have at it, Hoss. If you want to stack against Clayton Kershaw, you wouldn't get him any time cheaper than you would get those Mets today. I like John Lester today against the San Diego Padres. He's at home at dred The Padres continue to have the worst offense in Major League
Baseball down there in San Diego. They have the worst runs in the major leagues, only two hundred and fifty six so far this year. But here's my off the radar pick for you tonight to win some cash. I'm gonna be throwing a couple of shekels in a lineup with Brad Peacock tonight going at only seventy two hundred on FanDuel at Oakland. You know, I like this change
in ballpark factor if you go to Oakland. I was watching the game uh this weekend when the Yankees were there in town and was once again seeing how much that foul territory really can help a picture. So that's a great part factors shift for Brad Peacock today going to Oakland. Also, listen, the A's do not score a ton of runs. And the thing with Peacock, the only
issue people might think he's not gonna go long. Remember has had some spots starts in the past, but I think he might be getting built up and actually now earning a spot in that astro's rotation. He's also going
up against gossip. This guy is a gas can who has a sixteen e r A. And look at the strikeouts for Peacock in his last couple of starts and the last start he only went four and two thirds innings, but he struck out ten guys, nine k's and six innings, eight ks and four and two thirds, eight ks and four and a third. This guy can miss bats and I think he will do it. And if you listen to the lineup block, remember they said that Astro's lineup it's not out yet, so it might go low owned.
I think Brad Peacock at seventy two is a great way to go. If, however, you still need more information to try and win that cash, one thing you can do is get the Rodo Experts dot com exclusive Edge in Season Fantasy Baseball package.

All right though, Um, we're gonna when we come back after the break in a couple of minutes, We're gonna swift shift gears and I'm gonna give you my first of many football team by team season previews. We're gonna start off with the Los Angeles Rams. But before we do that again, like I said on the Friday Show, big shout out to all the fathers out there. Happy Father's Day. I hope
everybody had a good one. Big shout out to momy Man, the O, G. Cob, some that I had to visit in the Bronx. We you know, some baseball spent some Father's Day together. It was nice. One thing that I want to mention real quick. You see how they do like the light blue bats and the light blue uniforms on Father's Day like they do the pink on Mother's Day.
I thought it was very weird. They also made the stitching of the baseball light blue, and I would be interested to hear what pitchers and hitters thought about that, because you know, coming up playing in college baseball, the way you recognize like the curveball or the slider is because you pick up the spin on the stitching of the baseball. That's the kind of eyesight you need to have to be an elite hitter in Major League baseball. And I wonder if that threw people off at all,
seeing just the light blue color. It's usually red so you could pick it up. I really wonder if that had any kind of impact on hitters yesterday. You know how they have the batter's eye in the back of any ballpark, It is because you need to be able to pick out the baseball, say you know, not from say like white T shirts in the background, so they have a solid color. Your eye is also trained to recognize the stitching, like in an speed pitch you see a dot as opposed to say the circle of the
seams on a fastball. And I'm really interested to see if any hitters you know, couldn't pick that up. If you if you are a hitter, in Major League Baseball. And that's and you had to struggle yesterday. Call him in now at seven nine and let me know. But when we come back, your boy speeds and spitting statistician first speed spotlight for the NFL season coming up Los Angeles Rams. It should, boy Dame Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician, come all right back on the Fantasy Freestyle here on
the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We are back on the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You should, boy Dame Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician holding you down with Donnie Burns keeping it so hot that we sweat steam. Joining the sight here. Like I said, man, we have thirty two teams to cover. I don't know if you guys are realizing this or not, but we're only like six or seven weeks out from preseason football
and fantasy football really starting to heat up. So let me give you right now some news and notes that we had from the end of mini camps. Uh. Kelvin Benjamin wide receiver for the Panthers. Uh. This is kind of like a you know, backwards compliment. They're saying that he is looking less fat than he did at the beginning after the you know, offseason training program. Maybe he
could be a draft value if he does slip. I will say this though, I think the Carolina offense is gonna look a lot different than it did last year with the additions of Curtis Samuel and of course Christian McCaffrey in the first round. We'll get into that a little bit later. On second year wide receiver Kwan Treadwell for the Minnesota Vikings. He has been listed and has been running as the number three wide receiver in Minnesota.
Remember they have Stephen Karen you who digs it, and Adam feeling At locked in as the top two, but they are working Lakwan Treadville as the three ahead of Michael Floyd. Remember Michael Floyd got that uh you know, he says it's about bucha that had alcohol in it, But I don't know. It looks like Treadwell is ahead of him on the depth chart and in big time wide receiver news. Also, the Tennessee Titans signed former New York Jet, former Denver bronco Eric Decker to a one
year deal. Listen, they now have Eric Decker on one side. Remember they drafted in the first round Corey Davis. They already have Delaney Walker at tight end. They have been exotic, smash mouthing all over the place with Murray and Henry Mariota and up and coming quarterback. I have been on this team and we preview the Titans, You're going to see a team that I think could contend not only for the playoffs, but for that division title. Also, as
usually got some greatest shape of his life stories. Big Ben in Pittsburgh is saying that Martavis Bryant quote unquote looks like a stud former Chargers running back. Now with the Ravens. Danny Woodhead, they say, quote unquote they have lost track of how many balls he caught, and that he is going to be a big part of that passing game and even in the red zone. That is not good news for Terence West, but I tell you
it happened in San Diego. Also, they have no fear of using a guy like Danny Woodhead in the red zone and even on the goal line. Danny Woodhead will be a monster PPR back as usual. Also, um they are now saying that Jared Goff out there in Los Angeles quote unquote learned much quicker than this year, and that they've actually been able to actually install of that new offense. Remember first year head coach uh Top McVeigh going over there. But so that's just some news and notes.
But the real truth is we hook you up here at Rhodo Experts because some guys are focusing on their upcoming draft later this summer. You though, you know the first step to building a fantasy football champion is to be early with it and picked squad at Roto Experts dot com, get that exclusive edge Fantasy Football package.

All right, here's where we're gonna go. We're gonna go into the Los Angeles Rams right now. Remember a new head coach over there. I'm gonna tell you the way we're gonna do this is we're gonna go position by position, give you you know what what
I expect. Then we're gonna talk about the team in terms of where they are in their division, their old run, there's things like that. Remember, we gotta pull question up about the Rams. Will check out there, We'll check out their poll results, and then we'll get Donnie Burns to give his take or two as well on the Los Angeles Ram. So I'm gonna start off. Listen the quarterback we know, Jared Goff. The Rams are still searching. They're
they're expecting maybe he takes a step forward. I you know, for the guy who still doesn't know where the sun rises and sets. I am waiting on it. He will not be on any of my teams. This is the important thing though, at running back. Have you been listening to me? For now over a year. I have been saying that defenses will put fifty three men in the box against Todd Gurley. There is now no reason. I don't care that they signed Robert Woods in the off season.
I don't care about Jared Goff. They think taking a step forward. If you're a defense, you still are gonna stack the box against Todd Gurley. I kind of feel bad for him, but this guy is a big time for Gazey for me this year. I he will not be on any of my teams because he is just not gonna get loose. I have a diamond that you may not think coming out of that running back room a little bit later on white outs, these guys are not gonna be on my team either. I'm talking Robert Woods,
Tavon Austin. These guys are wide out threes best. They are not dynamic whiteouts. They have a bad quarterback getting it to them. This is not a high octane, productive offense. I want no part of these guys. I would take the number two or three receiver on a higher powered team. You know what I'm saying, Give me the number three receiver in Pittsburgh. Give me the number three receiver, Give me Willie Snead in New Orleans over a guy like Austin or Woods who are gonna be vuying to be
the number one guy in Los Angeles. I'm telling you if you project like I'm looking at Mike Clay's even projections for a guy like Robert Woods, who he thinks is gonna be the number one wide out in Los Angeles with the Rams, and he's projecting six and eight ten for Robert Woods. He's projecting fifty six and seven oh seven for Tavon Austin. Again, those are the Mike Clay projections, And like, I'd rather have Wullie Sneed than that. I like, I'm staying away from this offense at tight end.
If you are in a very deep league and you want to deep sleeper, my man Tyler Higgbee could be a very deep sleeper. But listen, he got forty five and five hundred, I would be incredibly surprised and I would sign for that right now at Higbee. Let me tell you, though, who my diamond in the rough for this team is. I'm talking about Lance Dunbar. Okay, Lance Dunbar is gonna be a passing the pass catching back in this offense. Remember when McVeigh was in Washington, he
had the same system. Remember what Chris Thompson did had that role in Washington. I think, especially in PPR leagues, Lance Dunbar is an interesting guy to have in the back end of your roster. He had games when he was with the Cowboys where he was a legit RB two in passing in PPR leagues. And the Rams are gonna be down in games all season long, so they're gonna be taking girly off the field in favor of Lance Dunbar. He is my diamond in the rough. Another
diamond could be Cooper Cup. Remember he's their third wide out. This is kid out of Division two, big time draft pick for them. In the NFC East, they're only kind of saving graces. They get to play the forty Niners twice this year. They also play the Seahawks pretty well they have over the last few seasons. But problem is this division. This year they're playing the a f C South. That means they got to play Tennessee on the road. Um, and I like the Titans. As I mentioned to you,
they're only saving graces. They open with Indianapolis. And remember Andrew Luck is still unsure about his so maybe in Week one Andrew Luck and the Colts aren't right. But Vegas says that the Rams over under is five and a half wins this year. I say for the Rams, take the under on that. I actually think this team is going to finish in last place of the NFC West,
even behind the San Francisco forty Niners. Why because I think Brian Hoyer is at least the legitimate NFL quarterback for that team, and I think that they're trying to go in the right direction with Shanahan and Lynch. I think it's much better than golf. I put the Rams at three or four wins. Put a gun to my head. I say the Rams going four and twelve. And in last play, Speed says, take the under on the Rams this year. Let me bring in my boy Donnie Burns,
the love doctor here on the fantasy freestyle. What's your take on the Rams this year, bro, Yeah, this is a totally different look from the Rams of last year. They bring in the young coach, Sean McVeigh. Um, here's my thing. They bring in Robert Woods, They draft the young wide receiver Cooper Cup. Um, I'm not as down on Todd Gurley as you are. I do really like lands Dunbar. Um. I will feel like teams will continue to stack the box because Todd Gurley is their most dynamic.
You're gonna see a lot of twenty carries for sixty seven yards and no catches and no touchdowns. This year added Todd Gurley. And the only thing is that I kind of spoke about this even last year. Um, you know, Sean McVeigh coming in, he needs to kind of deal with Tavon Austin. He has a lot of skill, but they don't use them the correct way. They gotta make a lot of these plays, you know, they kind of render them as like a punt return or something that stuff.
But they're not gonna do that. And then exactly if they if it listen, if they got a big wide out, a big X kind of wide out on the other side, and they had money to do that to get some of these guys, but they up getting Robert Woods, the former USC guy going back home. It's a nice story and all, but I don't think it creates the threat that Rams fans want. Okay, right now though, Donnie checked
this out. We got a pull question up right about the Rams, and percent of you right now say that the Rams are a threat to pick in the top five next year. That means they are agreeing with me that they're gonna win less than five games this year. Say, Purgatory are kind of like maybe a five hundred team. Four percent of you, though, say a playoff contender. And interestingly enough, with over a hundred votes so far in just the last hour or so, two percent of you
say you think the Rams are super Bowl contenders. I don't want to give a big shout out to obviously Mama Mama Gurley, who's obviously listening tonight on Fantasy Freestyle, or maybe it's mcveigh's wife that is clearly listening and voting that the super Bowl contender are the Los Angeles Rams. That's the only way we're gonna get votes that way. In my opinion, I say take the under on the Rams, Donnie Burns. Where do you think they finished? I mean,
I agree with you under it. You can even go as far as saying the Rams might have got a little bit worse. Uh yeah, I believe Kenny b Better right, Actually a threat that they had to think about in the box. Jared Goff, like you said, doesn't know where the sun right. They're expecting him to take a step. I thought last year they were better with case Keenum. I don't think it's gonna happen alright, but check it out when we come back here. Donnie Burns, you and
I both participated in a draft over the weekend. We're talking about the Big Three League three on three. We're gonna break down that draft. Big shout out to everybody who was in it. Donnie Burns, I hope you like your team, because I love my team. We're gonna break down that. We also have the beginning of the sports movie Goat Tournament, the greatest sports movie of all time. We got football movies and baseball movies battling on Twitter
right now. We got two runaways. We'll talk about so far, all that and more on the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm also gonna touch on that covid lefl Ward fight that happened Saturday. You know what it is. We're about to put the fun and
functional sports Radio. It's your boy Speeds, the spitting statistician here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network and of course our sports byline affiliates around the country and to the servicemen and women listening on American Forces Radio. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Donnie Burns so hot that he sweat steam on the ones and tools, giving you that to live quality, just to get by,
just to get bye. You know what it is, your boy, Dame Martinez speeds the spitting statistician holding you down. I teased it before we went to break. Donnie Burns and I were both um. We were participating in a draft. Over the weekend. We are doing the inaugural Big Three Fantasy League. You know here on the Fantasy Freestyle, we have been talking about the Big Three. We've been covering some of the smack talk, we covered some of the combine. We even gave you our rankings of the teams and
who we thought would be really bawling out in this league. So, first of all, big shout out to our man Craig ellen Port out there from Big Three. He got he got at us at the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network and see, we are doing the inaugural Big Three Fantasy League. It is a six team league, okay, and what you got in it? For those of you who listen to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, it is going to be some experts and some names that you
are familiar with. It's six teams. Remember one of them is Craig Ellenport representing the Big Three. And then you're gonna have five people that you know and love here from the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You of course have your boy, Dane Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician, holding it down. And it's quite frankly everybody else is playing for second place because I'm gonna be bringing it here in this league. You also got my man the Love Doctor and the
producer of the Fantasy Freestyle. Our boy Donnie Burns has a team in this league, and the three other experts representing the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know him as the Fantasy Executive. You can hear him in the morning every morning and also on that Fantasy Football Frenzy show. It's my man Corey Parson, the Fantasy Executive. We also have my man Chris Meany. He's holding it down all over on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. He'll be down in this league as well, and my man Frank stand
full well. You can hear on Fantasy Best Friends Forever. You could also hear him up next after here on this on Fantasy Sports Radio Network tonight on Fantasy First Look eight to ten PM. Right here. So, the six of us, we had our draft over the weekend, and the way it works is we each drafted three players, okay, and those are kind of like our anchor players, all right, and then Donnie Burns, I don't even know if you know about this. There's more to it. We've drafted our
three rounds. Then this week and every week we then submit another addition into our roster of five free agents that went undrafted that make up you have picked one from every other team, and those will be the like DFS plays, meaning we can all have some of the same cats. So the three guys we drafted are kind of like our anchors, our captains, and then the rest we fill out as DFS lineup. So we had our draft.
Your boy Dame Martinez was in the number two spot, and in the first round I drafted who I believe and who many people believe will be the m v P of this league. I know, Donnie Burns, you love the power, so I took their captain, Corey mcghetty number two. Overall,
I think, listen, he is going to get buckets. I think he is younger than some of the other captains and this is going to be a league where it's gonna be about people who can get their own shot, and Corey mcghetty is going to be able to do that. With your first pick, though, don you've took the captain of the trilogy. You went for a little bit more of a banger, Donnie Burns, you went Al Harrington for your first round pick. Tell me why you went Al
Harrington so early reping the trilogy. Yeah, so I had the sixth pick in this draft from Corey mcgil t. As we here on the show. I'm one of his biggest fans, so I wasn't able to get him. Yeah, boys, took him number two. I felt other than other than Corey mcgetty, Al Harrington would give him a run for
his money. And uh, with my come around pick, I thought both Al Harrington and Katino Mobile were great, you know, two guards to get their shots off essentially, and I rounded it off with a bruiser, So that was kind of my strategy in that realm, no doubt, I wish I could have got Corey, So you went, you went
Coatino Mobley. So we're both loving the Power here. I know we've been talking when we did our team by team rankings, we thought the Power where we both thought that they were gonna be one of the top teams in this league. When I had to come back on my second pick, I went to the Trilogy. So we're loving the Power and the Trilogy, don because I went with the Trilogy, I went with Rashad McCanns and my with my second pick. Okay, And we've talked about this
when they had to combine and all this stuff. Rashad McCants was actually the first pick when the Big Three held their draft after the combine, so that means to me that he worked out well, that he was hungry, that he was with it, So that's why I went. Rashad McCann's also the same kind of player, a guy that can slash but still shoot from the outside, so I think he's gonna be suited to this league as well. Then in the third round, okay, this is where a
Donnie Burns. This is where I put my money where my mouth was. You know what I'm saying because I I said on this air here on the Fantasy Freestyle, that I thought this guy would lead the Big Three league in rebounding. And he is on the Three Headed Monsters, a team that I think is gonna be kind of like the most flashiest kind of team in the league. You know, they got white Chocolate, they got Mad Woof, they got Richard Lewis, they had somebody they need, somebody
who's gonna rebound for them. And I'm taking my Man, former number one overall pick in my third round. I'm talking about Quam Brown and uh don you went Reggie Evans in your third round, the guy from the Killer Threes. Now, how do you feel about me actually selecting Kwam A Brown? I know, I know, but I said I was gonna pay who's else is gonna rebound on that team. I just can't take kalmy Brown, you guys, I said earlier.
I just don't. There's no way you're gonna see Man on Sunday when it tips off at the Barclays and then they premiere next Monday night on FS one. This Big Three League. Um, you're gonna see because remember Donnie Burns, you and me, we're gonna hope to be in the building at Barclays, bringing y'all from Fantasy Freestyle everything you need to know about the Big Three tip off the inaugural games. Uh, you're gonna see man, You're gonna see Kwalma Brown doing work. Why did you go with Reggie
Evans in your third spot? I feel like he's the best, you know, garbage time, you know, bruiser down low. That was kind of his job in the NBA if that was his only job in the NBA. Um, and I already had two scores, so I felt that that was necessary. At least. He's always kind of that hype guy that gets his team going with those garbage rebounds. So, um, I mean I wouldn't have taken Kalma anyway, So we
shall see. Listen, I'm gonna tell you something. My man is seven foot tall and seven feet don't age as bad as some of these other guys. Okay, and I think he's younger. Also, I'm going with youth movement. But again, big shout out to Craig Ellison out there from the Big Three. Were also, Donnie Burns, you're aware of this. We you gotta pick five free agents from the teams, so what you got someone on the trilogy, the Power
and the Killer Threes. You have to pick someone from all the other teams, the ball Hogs, Three's company, you know, try state that did not go drafted, so some of the lower level players to fill out your team like a DFS roster. And then Craig Ellenport's gonna be putting it all together for us, So big shout out. We'll see what happens Big three starting next weekend. I also, as promised, wanted to talk a little bit about that fight that took place on Saturday night in Vegas where
we had andre Ward and Sergey coval Lev. Remember this was a rematch of a controversial fight that happened over the fall. I told you I thought coval Lev won the first fight, and unfortunately, there is no shortage of controversy in the rematch either. Okay, a lot of people had Covid left winning on the card or at least a three three after say, six rounds, but then in the seventh round there was a huge right hand from andre Ward which definitely hurt Cova. Lev and stunned him,
but then andre Ward. A lot of people are saying hit him a lot of times under the belt with low blows. Ultimately there was a stoppage and Ward wins t KO in the eighth round. I thought there were low blows, there was someone replay that were clearly low and I also thought that they could have maybe given him a standing a count. I don't like the stoppage. I think it was not a good stoppage by the
ref and all it does is continue the controversy. But the problem now for coval Lev is that no one's gonna want to see a third match, because you know, they were both sort of controversial, but Ward won both of them. He stays undefeated and the champ at this weight class. So I think, unfortunately for Cova left he's gonna have to go back to the line. He's still a top ten pound for pound fighter in the world.
But um, this is not going to wind up being a trilogy like the Kenyan, Martin and l Harrington team or like the Golden State Warriors Cleveland Cavaliers NBA finals. Now we know though, the next big fight is gonna be at the end of August on the August twenty six Connor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather. The lion on that
fight has stabilized. It's back to minus seven fifty for Floyd because now a lot of people are coming out and saying that it's not gonna be a competitive boxing match, the same way that I have been telling you here on the Fantasy Freestyle four weeks. I even heard Max Kellerman out there say that he does not think Connor McGregor will be able to land a single punch on Floyd Mayweather in this entire fight. I don't know if I'm gonna go that far, but I do think Floyd
will be able to do what he wants. I think until we're gonna have to wait, unfortunately, all the way to September six, until we see an actual good fight, and that'll be Triple G and Connello Alvarez. But now it is time here Donnie Burns, as we put the fun and functional sports radio here on the Fantasy Freestyle. We are kicking off the greatest sports movie of all
time tournament. So if you are a listener to the Fantasy Freestyle, and thank you to everybody who subscribes to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app and also to everybody who subscribes and downloads on iTunes or wherever you get your podcast. We did a record last month over ninety thousand downloads. I'm really excited about that. So hopefully you guys are listening. If you listen live, you you can, however,
vote on this tournament. Okay, we're gonna crown the greatest sports movie of all time, thanks to everybody who always voted when we crown the greatest TV show. But this summer, that's what we're gonna do. And we have a football movies region, a baseball movies region, a basketball movies region, and we'll get the first matchup in that region tomorrow. And then what we did was we kind of lumped up all the other great sports movies, whether they be boxing,
some hockey, some race car driving, some golf in another region. Okay, and so we are getting started tonight with first matchup. It is in the football region where we have the number seven seed Varsity Blues going up against the number ten seed the blind Side. Now, if you saw Varsity Blues, um, you know with box in the quarterback, Billy Bob, the big offensive lineman with his pet pig, as Skeeter, the wide receiver who was kind of a party here. And
obviously we'll never forget that whip cream scene. What I believe it was Amy Smart or you know, one of the other girls in the movie. That will obviously be seared into the memory of many fans of that movie. That was one of your traditional high school football in Texas. It was a great movie in my opinion. It's going up against the Tennessee blind Side. You know the story of Michael or Sandra Bullock in it. So um that
is the first matchup, in the second matchup. In the baseball we have, quite frankly, what might be my favorite sports movie of all time, The three seed in the baseball movies region Major League while thing Ricky Vaughan, you know, Willie Mays, Hayes, Joe Boo and Serrano going up against the fourteen seed. The Scout. That was a movie where Brendan Frasier was riding the wave. He was in a different movie every like six months. He played a kind
of like discovered pitcher. It was about the Scout, but it was about you know, discovering Brendan Fraser as a pitcher who ultimately struck out twenty seven batters in a big game for the Yankees, one pitchers and arrived to the stadium in helicopter. I remember that one, um, Donnie Burns. Right now, we have these polls up and we have some dominating matchups. Right now, Major League is up on the Scout as the three seed percent of the vote to two and with a hundred votes. And on the
other one Varsity Blues and blind Side. It is Varsity Blues out to a big lead with six of the vote. Don do you feel strongly about any of these candidates? Well, considering I cast did my vote for blind Side. That's actually one of my favorite movies. Really, I'm surprised it's actually doing. It is losing handily. It's only thirty percent of the vote. Now for blind Side, why do you
like blind Sides? That was just one of those sports movies where, you know, I remember you asking us like ideas for sports peas, and that was the first one that came to mind, just very you know, very touching. I really liked it a lot. Yeah, well it might be one and done in this tournament. For the Michael or story, the blind Side, Donnie Burns, I think it's gonna be interesting across the summer because I like what
the TV shows. I have some movies that are very very new, you know, and some that go all the way back, you know, to like the forties and fifties and sixties when movies were not even in color. Um. So it's gonna be interesting to get your kind of response here as the millennial love doctor. You know, my some of my favorite movies might have been more in the eighties and nineties. Some of your favorite movies might have been in the odds the millennial that you are.
So I think it's gonna be very interesting to see. But right now, it looks like Major League is gonna move on in the baseball category, and it looks like Varsity Blues will move on in the football category. Tomorrow we'll have matchups from basketball, and we'll also have faceoffs of other sports as we look to crown the greatest sports movie of all time. And like I said, right now, still I want to know who the two percent of you are who say that the Rams are Super Bowl contender.
And I also want to know are you related to uh, you know, a member of the Rams or Mr McVeigh him's elf. When we come back though here on the Fantasy Freestyle, we're gonna tie a nice neat little bow. On this episode, we're gonna go around the league in Major League Baseball, we do have a team jumping out to an early lead. And also we're gonna find out what these guys are doing on Fantasy First Look, which
is up next on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come on right back, hi boy, Dame Martinez will take you on home on a Monday night here on the Fantasy Freestyle Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Just got a comment in my inbox here about that Floyd Mayweather fight. A lot of people saying, including Sweet Lee out there saying that, uh, they don't want to see Mayweather just
run all night. He should be a man and stand up and try to fight Connor McGregor toe to toe, saying it is not a track and field match, it is a boxing match. You know that's not gonna happen. Floyd Mayweather is gonna be defensive and you know people are gonna pay for it, but it's not gonna happen. Floyd is going to continue to do what he does. And be that defensive fighter, even though most people don't
like seeing it stylistically around the league. Here in Major League Baseball, in the top of the second, the Pirates and Brewers are scoreless. Reds and Raised scoreless. In the bottom of the third in Tampa, the game that was delayed to start in Baltimore has gone gotten started. It is scoreless in the top of the second between the Indians and Orioles. However, the game in Atlanta has been delayed. At the start, they still have not started, and the
Nationals are all over Nicolino and the Marlins. They are up for nothing already. In the top of the third, Bryce Harper with his eighteenth home run of the season. Anthony ren Done also chipping in with his home run of the season. As usual, here, I want to give a shout out to our sports Byline affiliates. We previewed the Rams today, so I want to give a special shout out out there. If you're listening on thirty am in Los Angeles, k l a A. Your boys Speeds.
The spitting statistician unfortunately thinks you need to bet the under on your Los Angeles Rams. Like I said, we also got this movie brackets going night. Percent of you right now have Major League to advance in the baseball region, and sixty eight percent of you have Varsity Blues advancing in the football region. Taking out Donnie Burns his pick the blind Side, which was the ten seed, we shall see.
