Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I got my man the Night Owl j P, which your boys speeds and spitting statustici and we're making it so hot that we sweat steam as we go into a holiday weekend. In full effect here Studio thirty four Rock and Riley's making it

happen as usual though on a Friday. Let me give you what you need to know around Major League Baseball so you could win your leagues and win that cash. There were so you know, there were not one, but two heartbreaking injuries last night in Major League Baseball that I have to cover, and both of them, to be quite honest, to actually hit me personally. One was my New York Yankees and one was to my main fantasy team.

So I hopefully you guys can empathize with me. Dustin Fowler, I don't know if you saw this in his first ever Major League game. He's living his dream being realized his major league debut. Scouts were all over this guy, and there was a lot of exciting Yankee fans to see what he could do. In the second inning before his first ever major league at bat, this guy playing right field chases down a foul ball and rand into the wall and has now an open tear of his

Patela had surgery last night. The timetable is gonna be something like eight months. His season is done. What a shame. And you could see it was a gut punch to the New York Yankees announcers, coachers, teammates in the dugout. It was really unfortunate out here, you know, saying a prayer for you, Dustin Fowler. Also Trey Turner, who I have been talking about here as a stolen base machine. He's had four stolen bases in a game, not once,

but twice over the last couple of weeks. Stole another base on Wednesday and then two more yesterday before getting hit by a pitch and fracturing his wrist. He was put on the d L by the Washington Nationals. There is no timetable for his return. And then another guy who if you listen to Fantasy Freestyle, you know Speeds has been on this guy and I am talking about

Braves first baseman Matt Adams. Matt Adams who came in to replace Freddie Freeman when he went down and has been profiling perfectly for power in that new SunTrust Stadium and has been killing the ball. He left yesterday's game after foiling the ball off off his foot. The X rays are negative. They're listening him his day to day. Remember, Freddie Freeman was maybe coming back as a third baseman as a first baseman because of Matt Adams. So now

let's see what happens there. Listen, last night, we told you it was a Clayton Kershaw a night. Even at twelve thousand, five hundred, you must have liked the value that your seven shutout innings with twelve strikeouts got. That's what Clayton Kershaw does. You don't need to be my man, Benny Riccardi or Tony Senkada on the DFS Lineup Block Show to know that Clayton Kershaw. Yeah, he's good at pitching. He's good on the mound that he delivered for you.

Last night. I told you about I made Garcia. It did not work out that well. Even in Petgo Park, where the Padres had the worst runs scored total in all of Major League Baseball, Jim Garcia gave up six runs and changed that for San Diego. However, tonight, listen, tonight, I'm going right back there. Okay, I'm going back at San Diego, but this time it's with Alex Would. He's ten thousand, five hundred. I would have been incredible lately,

and I'm still fading the San Diego Padres offense. I also, however, like Lance mccolors a lot tonight at nine on FanDuel mccullors has been awesome. But here is the thing that I hope people realize. The New York Yankees had like a two or three hour rain delay last night before they finished their series up in Chicago against the White Sox. That game did not end until something like two to thirty in the morning Eastern time. Then the Yankees got

on a plane and flew to Houston. Probably didn't get into their rooms until about five or six in the morning. We talk about sleep and rest all the time. Big shout out as usual to my boy Tom, it grows sleepless in America doing big things. I think he's in the Far East right now, so shout out to him. We're gonna hear his stories when he comes back, hopefully here on the Fantasy Freestyle. But we talk about that

sleep right now. I think the Yankees are faded and they remember they had the devastation of the Dustin Fowler injuries. So I really like Lance mccolors tonight. I like Alex Wood tonight. I also like Garrett Cole tonight against San Francisco at Garrett Cole has been good in his last three starts. I don't like the Giants offense either. Remember the Padre score the least runs in Major League Baseball. The Giant score the third least, So I think that's

an offense you can attack. And Garrit Cole has been better, has some k upside. And when we're talking about k upside, my man, Robbie Ray goes tonight against the Colorado Rockies team that is on an eight game losing streak. Robbie Ray at nine hundred, the price is pretty steep, but you know the strikeouts will be there, and uh, the Colorado Rockies have John Gray coming off the d L and his first start. Gray probably won't go that far. I like Robbie Ray, I like Alex Would, I like

Garrett Cole, I like Lance mccolors. All of these guys are people that I think you can use to save a little bit of money. While for the high end talent tonight, which has gotta be Jacob deGrom going against the Phillies on Saturday. I like just Barrios against the Royals. That Royal's offense is nothing to be scared of. I like Rich Hill against these same San Diego Padres in Peto. The Padres have not even had the dreaded TB D as their starter on Saturday. So give me Rich Hill

and also give me Zach Grinky. I like these Arizona Diamondbacks starters. If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know that between Robbie Ray Zack Grinky, although he causes me anxiety, just like Marcel Roberto Razuna and Zac Godley. Also I like in Arizona. That's why I've been saying, don't sleep the Arizona Diamondbacks. Maybe a team that pulls a trigger and makes a deal in the next month

before the trading deadline. If they can get another picture, say a guy like, oh, I don't know, a Justin Verlander. It could be very interesting for the d Backs going down the stretch on Sunday. Listen, you've got Max Scherz are going on Sunday. You know, if you've been listening this week, you know how high I am on Max shirt. So you also have James Packston. Last start he had was pretty good. That he's going up against the Angels.

That's not an offense that scares me. And listen, I kind of faded Paxton recently, but he put together a nice start last time out. Check it out. We're gonna keep it moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. What I want to talk about because you know, as they mentioned before, Tony Sankata said it before, I'm gonna be out next week on the Fantasy Freestyle. So big shout out to Benny Riccardi, big shout out to Tony Sencada that are gonna be

holding you down. Big shout out to my man Chris Bavona, the Animal, who's gonna be back in producing for me. They're gonna be holding it down. They're gonna be uh, you know, telling you what you need. I might be I might call in. Maybe maybe I'll call in and let people know, say what's up checking on the sports

movie brackets. But um, one of the things that I want to talk about because I'm not gonna be back until we have the home run derby, So I want to talk to you about this home run derby right now. So far we have Giancarlos Stanton as the you know, defending champion. This is gonna be in Miami. He's gonna

be the hometown boy. We'll get into the hometowntown talent a little bit later on, but Giancarlos saying, obviously, with twenty one home runs already on the year, Miguelson no has confirmed that he is in the slugger out of the Minnesota Twins organization really coming together for him in

his three true Outcomes kind of way. And also we hear now that Mr Bellinger with twenty four home runs, he has been invited and he's just trying to find out if his dad, Godie Bellinger can or Clay Belling just used me ken throw to him, and I say, why not? You know, we saw Robinson Canoe have his father throw to him in the home run Derby. I think it's a nice touch, you know, especially his dad was a major leaguer uh in the nineties for the Yankees. So I feel like Bellinger is gonna be there. So

that's three of the eight spots. The question is who should be filled the other ones. Now, first of all, Aaron Judge has to be in the home run Derby. I think everybody wants to see, like gian Carlos standing Aaron Judge, these like six seven giants trying to smack balls five hundred feet. I'm also very excited to see. You know, they'll probably have things like exit velocity and launch angle at the home run Derby. I think that

kind of stats are gonna be great. But what about guys like Bryce Harper, Joey Gallo, George Springer, Chris Bryan and I would love to see these guys. I would love to see these guys, And you know what, so would some of the Major League Baseball players. They voted for this. They had Gallo, they had Bellinger, they had Harper, they had they had guys like to know. They also some guys you wouldn't think about as much, Guys like

Scott Schebler, Guys like Mike Zunino. You had a teammate Kyle Seekers say that Nino has a lot of power. What about Chris wood a Ka Davis. But here's the guy I really want to talk about. Two guys one and then they kind of little guys. You wouldn't think about it. What if they had Jose Altuve in there? I think it would be great to have the five ft you know, five ft nothing almost five ft seven five ft Jose Altuve and see if he could keep his home in this kind of home run Derby format.

That would be really interesting because I bet he could, and you know who else I bet could? And this would be what I'm Speeds is really calling for this. I want to see it's in. It's in Miami. Okay, this is a guy that's getting honored this year because he's coming up on the three thousand hits, he's forty three years old, and he is a Miami Marlin. We're talking about it it all. Wouldn't it be great to

have each row in the home run Derby? I mean, this would be this would be the way to do it, to like have him, you know, go off into the sunset and you know, I have heard that each ro can do big things in batting practice. He could pretty much hit him out wherever he wants. No one has handni coordination like each hero. I think that would be an incredible way, and the fans would come out, maybe

even cheering for him more than Giancarlo Stanton. When we come back, though, JP and me, we're gonna break down that a f C North like I was talking about when I get JP tonight. Al's thoughts as well, dis your boy, Dame Martinez here on the Fantasy Freestyle in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Quarterback to receiver hook ups, running back depth analysis, rookie values in dynasty leagues, deep sleepers,

training camp battles. These are just a few of the in depth features you will find inside the two thousand seventeen coronaa Spurts dot com exclusive Edge Fantasy Football package.

He's a spitting statistician. We're back here on the Fantasy Freestop. We're on a

Friday here, Rock and Riley's Studio thirty four. I got my man JP the Night Owl, and uh, we're holding it down for you. We're holding it down for you, JP bringing you that hot fire, keeping it so hot that we sweat steam. We gotta do right here now is getting to the cipher here as we you know, kick it off. We gotta focus on fantasy football. That is what is king, you know, and that buzz is palpable.

I got a little bit of news, but I've been telling you the thunder of a downtime on the football calendar. I will say this though, two very important linebackers to their teams are looking for extensions. So this is gonna be something to mom to turn throughout the summer Pro Bowl. Linebacker Thomas Davis out in Carolina as well as Khalil Mack for the Raiders. They are looking to extend their deals. If not, they could be grumpy. No talk of holdout,

but something to watch. The one part I do want to say that the Philadelphia Eagles, they have cut wide receiver d g B Dorial Green Beckham. You know this is a guy that was going behind Nelson Aghiloor, behind um Jordan Matthews. Remember the Eagles signed al Shan Jeffrey and Tory Smith in the offseason, and d GB had some baggage. He never is gonna catch on in the NFL. That might have been his last chance in Philadelphia. I however,

I'm still pretty high on the Philadelphia Eagles. When we do our spotlights when we get to Philadelphia, you're gonna hear me probably say over when we talk about the over under. And you know what, some fantasy football players are focusing on their upcoming drafts later this summer. But you know the first step in building a fantasy football champion is to be early with it and picked the squad. At Rhodo Experts dot com get the exclusive Edge Fantasy

gonna do now is um oh week. I was talking about the a f C North and I would love to I would love to hear you, um, I would love to hear your thoughts on the FC, on the a f C North, because I actually, you know, I'm fading those two teams in the middle. I think the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals are teams that are gonna kind of take a step back. I think the

Cleveland Browns. Donnie Burne and I we were talking about it, and um, we also think that Cleveland is set up to, you know, not necessarily be a contender, but not be a laughing stock, you know anymore. And when it comes to Pittsburgh, we think that, um, this could be Big Ben's last chance. And you know, you can't really actually

trust big Ben when it comes down to it. He has been banged up a lot in seasons past, and so when you come when when it comes to it, he was one of my fool gay zes for the a f C North along with Jeremy Hill, because listen, these Bengals went up and got Joe Mixon and he's gonna They're gonna put faith in him. I think they could see him as the lead back moving on. So Jeremy Hill is a foo gazzy for me, Big Ben

was a fool gazzy. My top two diamonds in the rough when it came to the a f C North were two running backs that I kind of like for the other two teams. One in Baltimore is Danny Woodhead. I think Danny Woodhead is gonna be big in that division. I think the Baltimore Ravens are gonna trust him in the red zone and in between the tackles. And then in Cleveland, don't get a twisted Isaiah crow Well my man Corey parts and the fantasy ecutive hass RB ten.

I also think he could be a top ten running back running behind what is going to be one of the top five offensive lines in the NFL. And I think they're maching making small, small strides. So did the people that we had in our polls. Okay, when it came to Cleveland, can you believe JP, that's seven percent of the vote. Check this out because what JP will we do with every team is we have a poll where they're either super Bowl contend or a playoff contender, a five D team, or a threat to pick in

the top five. And Pittsburgh said a super Bowl contender with Cleveland, excuse me? With Baltimore, three percent said that. With since the three percent said that with Cleveland, o JP, seven percent said that. What do you think about that? More people think that Cleveland is super Bowl contender than Baltimore and Cincinnati combined. I think that's just people trolling. There's no way seven people think it could be. It could be trolls. But you know, JP, you were a

little early with it before. But we do have audio, right because one of the things that we were talking about with the pitts Burg Steelers and how Levy on Bell is my number one overall player in all of fantasy and we also know here on the Fantasy Freestyle if you listen to us, that my man is also goes by juice that he has a whole album out. He's doing big things with his music video. But we caught up with Mike Tomlin. Okay, and Mike Tomlin has thoughts on Levy on Bells rapping. Now, j P, let's

play that clip that we got. Okay, how do you feel about Lebyan's rap career? Man? I you know, I'm forty five years old. Man, I like Eric, Eric and Parrish making dollars. I'm an E P m D guy. YOUPMD. Have you listened to An? I have not. You can ask my teenage sons, though I'm sure they had. Are you cool then playing in the locker room? Levy on stuff in the locker room? Man, that's you're going too deep. Man. Hey, your topic conniverse Florida August. Yeah, let's get us say

you got and and will you be a Michael? I got, I got Floyd and I don't want to participate. See that's the thing. That's the thing. He doesn't want to talk about it. Hardly anybody wants to talk about it. I had to pull up a few weeks ago. Zero percent. It's very rare. I have a pole and there was a zero percent representative zero percent of the people, and this was over Hundreds said that the Connor and McGregor

fight was not a actual boxing match. The other options were like an exhibition or just a business make money bonanza, and nobody thought it was actually competitive fight. So, uh, JP, what do you think I told you my my diamonds in the rough for this division, the a f C North. I like Isaiah Crowell as a top ten running back

in Cleveland behind the good offensive line. And my other diamond in the rough for this division the a f C North is mom Man Danny Woodhead, who ultimately will be trusted in between the tackles and in the red zone. My fool gazes for this division, or Jeremy Hill, because there's no reason the Bengals would have took on the pr risk with mixing unless they are done with Jeremy Hill.

And my other fool gaze, the guy you need to forget about is actually Big Ben because you know Father Time is undefeated and the man regressed a little bit last year. What do you think about that, JP? I think that's all pretty accurate. My pick would definitely be I think this Ravens defense is no joke, and I think they could really contend for the a f C North. Listen, listen. The Ravens to me are a team that like, when I look at their roster, they are incredibly uninspiring in

my opinion. But when it comes to John Harbor, it's like, who's got it better than him? The answer is nobody. He is an incredible coach. He's one of these guys. He's one of these teams. Baltimore is that you know, regardless of what happens, they'll be there at the end. They'll be around and in contention. But for some reason, they just don't make me. Uh. They don't scare me in any way, shape or form. I don't care about

Jeremy Macklin. I don't care about Mike Wallace. Mike Wallace was a guy who could take the top off of defense about four years ago, not anymore. I think Danny Woodhead, like I said, my Diamond and or off in the a f C North, is actually gonna lead that team in receptions. But we shall see. That's why they play the games. Like I said, though Cleveland will no longer be the laughing stock of the NFL, let's keep it moving though here in the Cipher on the Fantasy Freestyle

here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. There is a heavy there's a championship fight on ESPN tomorrow night that we gotta get into. Manny pac Man Paccio is going up against you know, Jeff Horne in Australia and then check this out. Manny, though has the nerve to talk about how he will not want to see this Conno McGregor Floyd Mayweather fight. He wouldn't want to pay a hundred dollars for it. Meanwhile, he's on ESPN on Friday and a fight that no one even knew

was going on. I got the way in going on right now. Many Pakia should like stick to his constituents. In my opinion, he's a thirty eight year old senator in the Philippines, yet he's gonna take on a relative nobody. But I think is really interesting is what Freddie Roach said. Because I don't know if you've realized this, but since that Mayweather fight, pac Man has fought Tim Bradley and one, fought Jesse Vargas and one. But now you can step down and go to Australia on cable on basic cable

to fight Jeff Horn. Yet Manny and Connor are making money hand over fist. They got like a you know, a handshake and a wink um, basically to build Connor McGregor up to be his own promoter. But that's another story for another day. What do you think about this, JP? Where Freddie Roach has said that if Manny doesn't look good tomorrow on ESPN, that uh, it's time for him to retire. But if he looks good, he should seek a rematch with Floyd. I mean that seems like a

wide range of outcomes. No, what do you think, JP? Yeah, that seems like a lot of different ways you could go. But I don't I don't think Jeff Horns really a joke. I was reading a bit about this the other day and Jeff Horn, in his seventeen matches, has sixteen wins and one draw, and out of those sixteen wins, eleven were by knockout. So who knows, Man, he might surprise some people. You're on that Buster Douglas Puncher's chance kind

of thing. Huh. Maybe I don't think he's gonna win, but I think it will be more of a the people are anticipating. You know, it might be it might be this. That's that's you know, when two men get into a ring and start, you know, and start fighting,

it's always possible. But I find it a little bit weird that Nanny is gonna first, like, you know, kind of throw shade at this Floyd Connor match, saying that, you know, first of all, that Conor McGregor has no chance, that Econo McGregor won't even land a punch on Floyd Mayweather. I've also been saying this. I mean, you know, some of the greatest boxers of all times struggle to land

and score on Floyd Mayweather. You know, Manny packi Ou himself, and now Conor McGregor in his first ever sanctioned actual boxing match. This is not a UFC fight, this is a boxing match, is going to you know. I also think he's not. He's gonna struggle to score on, you know, on Floyd Mayweather, and his training video kind of shows that. But for him to throw shade at another man trying to,

you know, do his thing. Meanwhile, Manny paki Out is out there all the time, you know, promoting himself, you know, right now. To be quite honest, I got my man Joe pis a PM, Matt Maddie Mo promoting themselves as well. That's what people do. I understand the brand. I mean, we all don't hate LaVar Ball for that. We hate him for other reasons, right, But I think it's weird that you're gonna throw shade at another guy say you're

not gonna watch it. Meanwhile, you are no longer a big enough draw to do anything but ESPN basic cable to get your fight. Do you think he gets back into the limelight where he's a gate for a pay per view. No, I think he's out of that for now on alright, alright, so you know you could tune in ESPN tomorrow see if many pac Man Pacio retains the w b O Middleweight Championship of the World. When we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle, got so

much to talk about. We got these sports movie brackets going on. Um we also have Taco Charlton endorsing something. It's not a surprise. I think even you can figure it out.

As always, I want to give a shout out to our Sports Byline affiliates and to the service men and women out there representing America on this holiday weekend for us the back to back World War Champs U s A. Here as we go into a holiday weekend on the American Forces Radio Network JP,

as you know this summer the Fantasy Freestyle. We are striving to crown the greatest sports movie of all time. And we have some big matchups here in the basketball region that I want to talk to you about. And this is good. This is good because I want to get a diversity of perspective. You are so millennial, JP. You are. You probably have a fidget spinner in your pocket. I also want you to let me know how do I subscribe to this title thing so I can hear

this jay Z album. I need your advice on that or if I need to just wait and be able to hear it on Twitter somehow somewhere. You're gonna help me out with that, maybe how to like jail break my firestick, all that good stuff. But we have your perspective as a millennial. We are now also joined because up next on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, we got the Fantasy Black Book. My Man Joey Pisappila, my Man Maddie mo and they bring a slightly more mature perspective

to our sports movie brackets. And by what I say that, I bet they've seen some of these movies. So I want to be able to get everybody in here. We got some interesting matchups. If you're not familiar so far, guys, I know Maddie mo Is because he likes to troll me on the seedings all the time in the baseball region. But we're in the basketball region tonight. Tonight we have

an interesting eight nine matchup JP. I want to start with you are eight nine match up here in the basketball region is above the rim versus love and basketball. The question is like, this is like Tupac, you know, all eyes on me is out there right now. This was like when Tupac kind of broke in as an actor, you know, trying to you know, typecast as a gangster, I guess, trying to leverage you know, the the hot

high school prospect loving basketball. A very dramatic, beautiful story you know about uh, you know Omar Epps a k a. Mike Tomlin. We had him in our last segment, j P. What is your experience level with these two movies? The millennial that you are, night ol. Yeah, these might be a little bit before my really yeah, fantastic fans. So so you're you're saying your level of familiarity here is zero with these movies very low. I know a little tiny bit, but I've never seen either one of them.

It's kind of like, you know a tiny bit, but you've never seen them. So what you know about them basically what I just said in the last forty five seconds. Basically, okay, fair enough, fair enough? Do you guys feel strongly about either one of these matchups? Maddie Mo, you're a basketball guy Above the Rim where you're afraid of Tupac back in the day, I'm afraid of that one, but fair enough.

I really didn't see either one or okay. Also, also, we're in the dearth of basketball movie knowledge right now. But but I do vote on the you know, I do vote on all the movies. This one I'll have to shoot fair enough, fair enough, okay, So we can let that go on right now. Above the Rim is up, but it's close, and then we get into another matchup. I am aren't sure everybody knows about this one. This

is a three seed coming into the basketball region. So I'm pretty sure you guys are gonna know about this, um. And to be quite honest, this maybe my favorite sports movie literally of all time. Okay, we're talking about if you know foods that start with the letter Q. We are talking about best right. That's about if you understand the the the the emotion of dry mouthedness. This is if you fear the Stooky Brothers. This if you understand

if you understand things like going the sizzler. And this is also understanding that Woody Harrison had to teach Wesley Snipes how to play basketball before the number three seed. White men can't jump? I don't know if you could listen to Jimmy if you can hear Jimmy JP, the question is do you understand any of the references that I'm making right now? So I have seen white man

can't jump? Okay, but it was a while ago, so I remember a kind of like TV okay, fair enough, fair enough, um, Joey p Though obviously basing your reaction, I mean, this is gonna roll in this first round matchup probably right. Oh, it's up. Oh, it's up against sixth man. It's up against sixth man against Eddie for a well, Eddie is the sixth teen seed in this region going up against Dreams later a little bit later on. It a fun fact for you. Let me know this.

Ron Shelton also is the guy who did Bull Durham. Interesting, Bull Durham will be an action a little One of the great sports directors of our time did both of those films, and you can make a lot. You know, you talk about the comparison relationships of athletes together playing White Man Can't Jump, athletes from different parts in their live different parts one of the veteran, the salty veteran, the young kid, and the other guy, the white guy,

the black guy getting together telling you Seed, it's all there. Interesting, Oh, Maddie Moe wants to hop in real quick. Ye's got something that I've got something to say above the rim. That's not how he white Man can John was pretty game good. I mean that was That was a really good threesing they had going on there. You know, Rosie Press I kissed Rosie Perez in nine at the Jacob Javits Center because I was representing doing it. You know, it was this was the high point of my crush

on Rosie Perez. I mean you're probably the same height too. Yeah, and we both representing the Bronx. You know, so I thought I could find I thought I could find it. But you tell so listen, Matt, you agree with the people here. We got a ninety four to six matches thrash right now. This is the second highest that we have seen. This is the second highest kind of margin

of victory we have seen so far. The biggest margin of victory we saw was with My Man the Wild Thing, Ricky Vaughan and Joe Boo Major League had percent of the vote. We also had a big time Caddy Shack got in its first round and victory. Rocky got eighty

eight percent in its first round victory. Our biggest upsets so far have been Talladega Knights, the Legend of Rockie, Bobby over the Karate Kid, and then we also had in a big time upset yesterday The water Boy beat one of my favorite football movies of all time, The Program. It was The water Boy over the Program. When you had guys like Latimer and Mac lying in the street for guys, I gotta take those people to general public

usually get right. Recently, bias, I think on this one, Yeah, although I also remember, I understand the likability factor of the water boy. But come on, man, I'm saying it was a five twelve matches. You know, they have to have an upset in the five twelve matchup at some point. So listen, listen. Funny because when I was getting listen, if you guys remember I did the TV show Brackets and March blah blah blah, and I got a lot of heat. I got a lot of heat. So this

time I wanted to be proactive. Okay. So I'm over here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network every now and then, and I'm showing people like, hey, what do you think you know, I'm getting feedback from such luminaries as the King's Scott Angle. I'm getting luminary. Yeah. Yeah, you know when when you're in the production room sometimes, you know. So I'm getting feedback Frank Stanfell like lobbied hard for Jouanna Man. Why Frank stan Frank Stanfell clapp in his hands,

you know, cheering for Juanna Man. So I'm gonna be out all next week, okay. And my man Tony Sancadam, Benny Riccardi filling in for me here on the Fantasy Freestyle. But I got a couple of first round matchups to still go, and I asked if Frankie Stanfell and Mike Florio would do the Joanna Man matchup for me next week. They are a thirteen seed. They're up against the Basketball

Diaries in the first round. We shall see. It's Tony gonna do like like your bit, like is he gonna, is he gonna like spit steam is gonna He's gonna absolutely get it done one way or another. I'm sitting steam. Yeah, I mean, it's tough. It's tough. It's not easy. You gotta say it five times fast, especially on a Friday. Here it's happy hour and Rock and Riley's studio third before least they want to get into in JP. I know you know, you and Donnie Verns, we talk a

lot of basketball. Listen, when the clock strikes midnight tonight, there may in fact be some movement. Remember a couple of years ago when like the Clippers were, you know, locking DeAndre Jordan away in a compound. You know, we might actually see some things when the clock strikes midnight tonight, JP. I want to get your take on some of the

things that have already gone down. First of all, Ricky Rubio today traded from Minnesota to you, Tom hearing word that that may clear the way for the Tea Wolves to go ahead and get a guy like Jeff Tigue, and all of a sudden, the t Wolves, you know, potentially with a point guard Latigue already with a guy like Andrew Wiggins, already with Karl Anthony Towns, getting Jimmy Butler, who's giving out his phone number two random people and

answering questions. Minnesota could seem fights the I personally think the main domino to fall in the next couple of days. Everyone needs to start looking at Gordon Hayward. He's gonna be the main domino. I think he actually dictates what

happens with the Paul George sweep stay. You know, for some reason, if he does go and reunites with his form owner coach Brad Stephens in Boston, I think then Boston can say, you know what, maybe we do pull the trigger on a Paul George deal and try to go to war with Isaiah Thomas, al Horford, Paul George, and Gordon Hayward in the Eastern Conference. I want to hear from you j P, because I know you love the association. What are you looking for in the first

couple of days of free agency? Is it Haywood or is it a guy like Lowry? Is it a guy like Blake Griffin? What are you excited to see in the next forty eight hours? So the few things I want to hear about is andre Iquitdala. If anyone's gonna get locked in a closet this year, it's gonna be andre Iguatala Man Warriors anywhere, And then Gordon Hayward. I'm really curious to see if the teams back up with this butler man Brad Stevens in Boston, Okay. And you

know the idea of Blake Griffin. I think that I've always said I have said that, I think the way that free agents are gonna be looking at this is that you gotta go east. You know the saying go west, young man will If you go west, you're gonna have to content end with the Golden State worries and your path is much better in the east. What if Blake Griffin decided to join up with guys like John Wall and Bradley Beale in our nation's capital. I think if they had a guy in the front court who could

be a threat. You know, I think that could be interesting. Washington one of these teams that are on the upswing. Um, where do you think Kyle Lowry could wind up? There was talk about him maybe going remember he played at Villanova in college, going to Philly, but after the seventies six is drafted Marquel. Folks, you gotta think that's null and void. Where do you think a guy like Lowry could end up? Yeah? I mean for him, I think

the Timberwolves is a good spot. But if they're going after a guy like Teak and he locks up first, then is there really anywhere brighter than in where you already are, like in Canada? Maybe maybe somewhere else well, because then you wouldn't be able to celebrate America this week. Like I said, back to back World War champs and if you're in Toronto, what you know, what are you gonna do? Be happy with Canada Day? I think that's a far weaker holiday. That's good point, It's true. It's true,

all right. Um, so check this out you the millennial. Though I did want to get at this, okay, because tonight at midnight, free Agency starts last night at midnight? Apparently jay Z dropped an album? Can you help me? Like? How do I subscribe to this? I want to understand? How do I get this title stuff? How can I hear the thirteen album of j Z? Okay? So what you're gonna do? Yeah? You doing time last night? But

you go home? You download the title? Appy, you just set up an accountant boom you're that sounds like a lot of work. That sounds like a lot of work. I mean, right, come on, Joe, it sounds like a lot of work. I got a register. I can't handle it, sounds crazy. Can I go why the CD? Can I get it on friends? Their? Can I get it on Lime wire? It's probably somewhere out there, you know, like a download link or something. But can you can you? JP?

Can you like send me the link? Yeah? I can because and I don't want to have have to sign up because then it's gonna be in my space. Damn. Do you know what we gotta do? JP? You're only here for a couple more a couple more weeks, I know, and you know you've held it down the night out so hot that you sweats them blowing up like a Samsung seven hot to death like Corey Stringer. But the question is I need a drop. I need a drop of like a lawnmower, you know, or something like that.

So when I'm saying all these hot takes about how I don't understand how to register for something like title I just wanted, so it could be like coinciding with like a get off my lawn kind of theme, I want a lawnmower drop. So anytime I'm ranting about something that's crazy, we could play that behind it. Okay, can we do that? So for example, earlier this week, JP, and this is a story that we had, you know, because we have fun and functional sports radio here on

the Fantasy Freestyle. And I know my man Joey P. Also, you know, we struck a little nerve with Joey P about this story. JP. You're young, but you're not like ten eleven years old? Do you realize you go to college? But you know? Are you? Do you know that kids are getting D one offers at the early age of ten or a eleven years old? I heard about that. Yeah, that's crazy. Love Smith offered a ten year old. Love Smith offered a ten year old. That's not gonna be

on campus until two thousand and twenty five. Do you think Lovey Smith will still be the Illinois head coach in two thousand and twenty five. Joey P right now is shaking his head. No, you had to be like your epic rant about I did last Tuesday. I did in the epic rant abou. I'll tell you what. My four year old actually just signed with the Seahawks. Really, yeah, she's terrific. It's really it's a big deal. Pete Carroll came over. The house, was nice, and you know, if

Pee Carroll comes to your living was not going anywhere. No, unless never want to leave. Unless it gets a little tight, you couldnt. Maybe we'll go back to southern California. I want to hear more about your rant when we come back right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're gonna hear what Joey P thinks because we're gonna be sliding into the Fantasy Black Book as well with your boy Day Martinez speeds

We're trying a nice neat little bow on this episode and on the week as we slide into a holiday weekend. Coming up next on the Fantasy free Uh wellow on the Fantasy Freestyle. Next will be Tony Sankata and Benny Riccardi all week long next week. But coming up next on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, my guys Maddie Mo and Joey p on

the Fantasy Black Book. What are we talking about tonight as we open up the Black Book? We got a lot. We got Bob Long, a big guy Fantasy Sports coming on. We're gonna talk about his new boat. We're gonna talk about the NFC South, talk about previow the little MLB a little this all that, that's how we roll. Let me say, on the NFC South, I am very excited to see what the Panthers do with Christian McCaffrey and

Curtis Samuel. I think these days what you have to do, like defensive teams will not know what personnel to put on the field with McCaffrey and Samuel in the huddle, Like they're gonna get McCaffrey lined up against linebackers any time they want. When you already throw the flexibility of Cam Newton and now you don't know they could they could start in the pro set and then boom, being four wide and all of a sudden you've got McCaffrey on a linebacker. Do you think Riverboat Ron is smart

enough to make this happen? Is he smart enough? Yes, that's not the problem. The problem is is Cam Newton a good enough quarterback now in the pocket to make these things happen? Well, that's why they have the basketball receivers on the outside with Calvin Benjamin and Devin Funges. And then they do all the fun, the fun gadget stuff that he's never happen awake like McCaffrey before and That's why I'd like to see how he adapts, because this whole thing, we're just assuming that it's all gonna

work out. I think it's a little dangerous from a fantasy perspective. I think maybe by the second half of the year it starts to roll. But the problem is, how's that gonna work with your first half trying to get into the playoffs? So fantasy football, that's my issue. Okay, what if I'm just betting the over on them and I just want to you know, that's fine? Well then all, but how about that this is your DFS version second

half of the year. So if you don't get him in the draft because you don't want to pay, then that's what we turned around, the DFS version, and then you get those shares of those guys and then you're good. Joey pe telling you how to win your leagues and win that cash. Last thing I want to mention, yo, these Michigan Wolverines know how to know how to advertise Jake.

But he got a deal with Sharmon And now, Maddie Moo, what do you think Taco Charlton is endorsing Taco Bell close Taco Bueno in Dallas, and it's apt Taco Bell. You gotta work your way there. Yeah, I'm saying I just love the name Taco tacos. Hey, that's what it is. You know. Find out what else these guys like on the Fantasy Black Book. Listen. I'll do you guys soon.
