That's that Tone Loke. I don't know if you're listening on our sports Byline affiliates or on the Fantasy Freestyle. Last hour, my man Tony Sencata and Benny Riccardi. They were talking a little bit about the origin of the name Tony, and uh, one thing led
to another. We started talking Tone Loke, whose famous not only for the funky cole Medina, but also for the whild Thing not the wild Thing Ricky Vaughan, which is in Major League one of our greatest sports movies of all time. But we'll get to that a little bit later on. Dave Martinez and Chris Pavona so hot that we sweat steam on a Monday, Yes, yes, let him know. Chris. Let me get into some news and notes around Major League Baseball. First of all, big news over the weekend.
Stud starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Clayton Kirkshaw, has a back issue, and he is likely headed to the d L. He is likely going to miss six to eight weeks. That puts you for redraft fantasy people.
That puts you into like early September mid September. So if you are a Clayton Kershaw owner and you need the roster spot and you are threatening for the playoffs, SPEEDI this fitting statistician says it may be okay to actually drop Clayton Kershaw if you need that roster spot, depending on how early news comes out of it, but that back issue is never good to remember he's been dealing with that before. As the trading deadline approaches, we
have more news on the closer front. The Nationals, the Dodgers, and the Boston Red Sox are apparently still in on Philly's reliever, Pat Nishack. He has been a hot commodity and a guy we have spoken about before. There were still three teams in contention that see him as an ability to boost their bullpen. There have, however, been two actual trades that have gone down today where teams in
the a L Central are helping their rotation. The first one, the Minnesota Twins, have traded with the Braves for left handed pitcher high make Garcia. Remember, there was news that high make Garcia may have been traded before his start on Friday. Holli did though on Friday at l A was hit a grand Slam. He is going to go into that Minnesota rotation, likely to be their third or fourth starter. Listen, Minnesota going for it even though there are only one game over five hundred. They sit at
forty nine and forty eight. Also in that division, just breaking in the last hour, the Kansas City Royals have made a deal with the San Diego Padreres to acquire starting pitcher Trevor k Hill. Now, k Hill had a stint on the d L recently hasn't been as good since he's come back, but he is enjoying a bounce back year seventy two strikeouts in sixty one innings pitch with a three point six nine e r A. Now many people might think, but listen, you're going from pet
Go into the American League. I'm here to tell you that the change is not really that big of a deal. When you consider the ballpark going from San Diego to Kansas City, which is also a pitchers ballpark, and when you consider going to from the n O s to the A L Central. Remember k Hill was on the padre, so that was one of the poor offenses that other NL starters get to face, right, But in the NLS he was still facing the Diamondbacks. We know about that offense.
The Dodgers, we know about that offense. The Rockies at cores half the time you see Colorado. So now going to the a L Central, Yes there's the Indians, but really, where else is there an offense that completely scares you? Trevor k Hill will probably get some good innings now for the Riot Royals, who right now have the second wild card spot in the American League. St. Louis Cardinals. Matt Carpenter he left the Sunday night game tightness in his quad. He will be listed as day to day
moving forward. And the Mets continue their comedy of errors when it comes to their medical staff. They're starting pitchers. Zach Wheeler is going to the ten day d L. He has a stress reaction in his arm. Listen. Normally this would not be a big deal, but when you combine Zach Wheeler's in rehistory with the Mets medical staff, it causes big time concern for me. Keeping it moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle. As usual, I gotta hold
myself accountable to what I said over the weekend. Okay, Now, on Friday night, I told you there were three big boys. There was Chris Sale, that was Max Scherzer, and there was Alex Wood. Two or the three of them were very beatable in DFS if you listen to me. Okay, Max Scherzer only went five innings, gave up five earned runs, including three home runs back to back to back to start the game. He was not the starter that you wanted. Same thing with Mr Wood out there in l A.
He was facing him go Cia. He only went four and two thirds. He gave up seven earned runs. Okay, Hopefully of the big studs on Friday, you went with Chris Sale. He struck out nine and six shutout innings. But I gave you Trevor k Hill. Okay, and Trevor k Hill he was okay. He left early. Um, but I was a little bit worried that, you know, he was trying to showcase himself for the trade and that it wouldn't work out. But the Kansas City Royals seemed
to think it was just fine. On Saturday, Remember I told you we would have the season debut for Colin mckugh with the Houston Astros today on Saturday. He only went seventies seven pitchers. Okay, they're gonna have to continue to stretch him out. He only went four and two thirds innings. Expect him to go a little bit longer in future starts. However, Danny Salazar had no such issue
in his return for the Cleveland Indians. He went seven shutout innings against the Toronto Blue Jay's, striking out eight, and he will likely stay in that rotation. Remember there were questions earlier in the season that they may have moved Salazar to the bullpen. With that kind of outing, he's probably gonna stay in the rotation for the division leading Cleveland Indians. I also told you that my pick on Saturday, though, was Chris Archer for the Tampa Bay
Rays facing Texas. He had a nice little game. He went seven innings, gave up only one run, and struck out eleven. So hopefully you listen to me on Chris Archer on Saturday. Then on Sunday, this is where everything went downhill. Okay, Clayton Kershaw only went two innings and now we know he will Land on the d L steven Stroudsburg. He only went two innings. They said they removed him as a precautionary measure because he wasn't able
to get loose. But in that game, I was talking with my man, Benny Riccardi, and he was facing you know, Robbie Ray. I was. I was thinking that there was gonna be twenty plus strikeouts from just the starters. Not so much. Ray only struck out four, giving up four runs and five innings. And you know what happened with Stroudsburg. The winner on Sunday, to be quite honest, had to be jose Kintana. Okay, back with the Cubs. This is his first start in Wrigley since being acquired from across Town.
He only gave up three runs. Gotta win for the Cubs, striking out seven. So now you ask yourself self, who do I ride with tonight in DFS. And here's the thing. You got to Graham at the top of the leaderboard, at the top of the price chart at eleven thousand against San Diego. We know about that bad San Diego offense, and to go I'm in San Diego in Petco Park sets up real nice. You got Zach Grink as well at at the top of the uh you know, most
expensive starters of the night. I got two guys that I kind of like that are a little bit cheaper if you want to save some money and invest in some bats to help you win some cash and dfs. Tonight. The first Houston Astros starter Brad Peacock. He's listening at eight dred on Fan Duel. He's had five straight wins, three straight quality starts. Remember he's been stretched out coming
out of the bullpen. He has been stretched out, has gone six or more in the last three and over his last five starts, thirty five strikeouts and thirty innings pitched. I also like that he's facing the Philadelphia Phillies tonight. The Phillies with the second lowest run total in all of baseball, having scored only three hundred and eighty five runs so far. The other guy that I like is Garrett Cole. I like Garrett Cole tonight at eighties seven
hundred at San Francisco. Remember I always talk about the Giants having a poor offense as well. The Phillies are the second lowest run total in baseball. The Giants are a third lowest run total in baseball, having scored only three runs so far this season. Garrett Cole has been good twenty two strikeouts over the last nineteen innings pitch. The one thing I will say in his last start, when he struck out ten, he was facing the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers had the most strikeouts in all of the
National League. The Giants don't strike out as much, but Garrett Cole has been good. Last thing I want to mention here before we go to break, I've been talking about the moves that you can make in season long as we go to the trading deadline of Major League Baseball, which is set to happen next Monday. There is one more week left before the trading deadline, and more moves will happen. We've already reported on two today. I've been saying that the closer market is where to look at.
Let me give you some specifics. Okay, Shane Green is the eighth inning man now in Detroit. Detroit is going to trade Justin Wilson. Okay, Shane Green is only four percent owned. To go out and get him right now in with the Mets here in New York, Jerry Blevins is only four percent owned. If the Mets wind up dealing Addison, he may be the guy who steps in. And this guy has forty four strikeouts in only thirty one innings pitch and there's only four percent owned right
now in Miami. Remember we've been talking about how a J. Ramos will move Kyle barracklaw it said Donny Baseball Don Mattingley is saying that he might get saved duty if they trade a J. J. Ramos. This is a guy with forty nine strikeouts and forty five innings pitch. He's only fifteen percent owned. And then go look at the Chicago White Sox as well. Okay, Anthony swore Zak got the save today, only seventeen percent owned with a one
point oh two whip. He could be the option even though they think maybe Tyler Clippard is an option as well. When we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, we turned the page and look to football hashtag Bill's Mafia whis Boy Dame Martinez on the Fantasy Freestyle, Let's go Experts dot Com executive because people talk rand New For two thousand seventeen, Rhotal Experts dot Com presents the Executive Edge Fantasy Football Package.

Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm gonna play Dane Martinez holding you down on a Monday with the bounty Hunter Chris Bavona
on the ones and twos. There it is. You know how we do Listen. As I said going into the break that we were gonna turn the page and go to the NFL. But before we do that, I am pleased to announce that we have breaking news right here yo. And this has happened a few times on Fantasy Freestyle over the last few weeks. It is not a baseball deal, however, we have a signing in the n b A. Derek Rose has decided to sign a one year deal with
the Cleveland Cavaliers. It is a one year, two point one million dollar deal, and I find this very interesting. If you remember, on Friday, we were talking about how Kyrie Irving has requested a trade from the Cavaliers. It looks like Cleveland is organizing themselves to get ready to relieve the days of Kyrie Irving. Signing Derek Rose to be point guard. Maybe he was gonna back up Kyrie,
but this makes Kyrie Irving trade much more viable. Remember Kyrie was talking about the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Miami Heat, the San Antonio Spurs, and the team that Derek Rose just vacated, the New York Nicks. So we shall see any news on that for the rest of this week. But Derrick Rose signs a one year deal to be part of the Cleveland Cavaliers. So now we do in
fact go to the NFL. As we get into the cipher here, I got some news and notes from around the league as training camp has set to open in a few places, places like Arizona and Dallas have already started training camp. All the other teams will have open training camp by the time this week is over. One of the pieces of news that I've been talking about
for a while. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck. Now he is going to begin a throwing program, but he's listed on the active pu P list, and they're now saying in Indianapolis that he may miss the entire preseason. They are still saying that they are of all confidence that Andrew Luck will be up all night to get Lucky starting for Week one for the Indianapolis Colts. I am still a little bit skeptical. To me, there are flags raised. Keep an eye on Andrew Luck for training camp and
the preseason. In New Orleans, Saints wide receiver Willie Snead has signed a one year, six hundred and fifteen thousand dollar deal. To me, this is incredible value for the Saints. Willie Snead represents a solid wide receiving two options for New Orleans. Remember New Orleans also signed Ted Ginn Jr. In the off season. Both Snead and Gain will vie to be the guy with the second most targets on
the Saints, behind stud second year player Michael Thomas. Up in Minnesota, they're running back that they signed in the off season, Lottavius Murray. He too will open on the pup list. Remember he's coming back from that ankle surgery and injury. When I just covered the NFC North a few weeks back, I told you that Dalvin Cook is my sleeper out of these rookie backs. You know a lot of people talking for Net McCaffrey, Mixing, p Ryan Williams, all these people. I like Dalvin Cook to be the man.
And with Latavius Murray opening on the pup list, that even reinforces my love for Dalvin Cook. Charges wide receiver, Mike Williams says that quote unquote, he feels better and that there was bad information going around about him last week. Remember there were reports that he had that back injury and that he might have to have surgery. He is still, you know, not practicing in full with the team as training camp opens, and it's still gonna have a long
ways to go. I think it's an uphill road for the rookie wide receiver both to stay healthy and also to digest the scheme in a way that will earn the trust of Philip Rivers. On a related note, though, you know who apparently is looking good in uh not San Diego, but Los Angeles another wide receiver, Keenan Allen, one of those greatest shape of his life stories they're saying that Keenan Allen looked quote unquote quick and explosive
in the off season program. Remember, if he can stay healthy, there's no reason why he's not a legitimate high end wide receiver too for your fantasy team. And another note out of the West Coast in the Bay Area, okay, um, there are reports now that Carlos Hide, the starting running back last year of the San Francisco forty Niners, could be a surprise cut by the team as a salary cap, you know, casualty. When I previewed the San Francisco forty Niners, I told you that my diamond in the rough was
the rookie Joe Williams. I told you that the regime invested in Joe Williams, that Kyle Shanahan specifically, you know, metaphorically pounded the table for him. They went up and got him, And I told you they were not high on Carlos Hide. Now there are reports out of the Bay Area they may cut ties all together. So now what I want to do is give you my previews. I've been given you my team by team previews. If
you subscribe to the Fantasy Freesty, thank you. First of all, give me a five star review wherever you can get your podcasts, things like that. But what I've been telling you as we go team by team is you know who you need to start, who you need to fade. I look at their schedule, I look at their wind total, things like that, and we are starting a week where we look at the a f C East and that begins now with the Buffalo Bills. Okay, um, here's the deal.
Let's start. Let's start with their quarterback, Tyrod Taylor. I call him team Mobile. He was quarterback sixteen last year in Fantasy. He showed that he was just fine. Okay, he showed that he's just fine. He's one of those kind of mid level quarterbacks that I talk about all the time. He is not the biggest issue on the Bills. Okay. He threw three thousand, twenty three yards, seventeen touchdowns, and
a very impressive only six interceptions last year. Okay, but he also led the NFL among quarterbacks with five hundred and eighty rushing yards and six touchdowns. That's where you're gonna get some week winning potential out of Tyrod Taylor. Here's the only problem, though, you know he might be one of those guys that you draft, Okay, later on in the draft, because as you listen to Fantasy freestyle, you know that I say, do not spend the draft capital on the Drew Brees on the Tom Brady on
the Iron Rodgers on the Matt Ryan. I would much rather have your staffords, your cousins, your rivers, even if it winds up being a guy like Tyrod Taylor. But I have him ranked as QB eighteen. My man, Corey Parson, the Fantasy executive, has him ranked as QB nineteen. Here's the only down problem. He's got a new scheme there. Okay, remember new head coach McDermott is there, and uh, I don't know if they're gonna be as run heavy now that Anthony Lynn is not there. He lost Robert Woods.
Not that that's any big shakes. But here's the thing. I don't think he repeats the only six interception season. I think he turns the ball over a little bit more this year, dropping him down into kind of like the back end of what will be a QB two if you're in kind of super flex leagues. Tyrod Taylor to me, he's okay, I know you like the rushing yards at times, but I think he regresses slightly this year. However, if we go to the running back position, you all
know about this already. He's shady. We're talking about Lashawn McCoy. I you listen to Fantasy Freestyle, you know my premise that there are only like five true workhorse backs in the NFL. Will count Lashawn McCoy among them. Okay, he was RB four in last year's fantasy season and he only played fifteen games, ran for twelve hundred sixty seven yards and thirteen touchdowns. Add to that fifty receptions, which was like fourth in the NFL among running along running backs.
I think he remains a workhorse. Remember they also the Bills lost um Mike Gillieslie in the off season to the Patriots. I have him as RB five this year. Corey Parson as m as RB seven. He hasn't behind Todd Gurley. However, I think he will outproduce Todd Gurley this year. I think there's no reason Leshawn McCoy can once again a mass fifteen hundred yards combined on the ground and receiving. When we go to the wide receiver position, here's the person that a lot of people are split
on and I'm talking about Sammy Watkins. Okay, my man Maddie Mo missed the Wall Street over here that you can hear on the Fantasy Black Book right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, that you can hear every morning here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. He is very high on him. Drafted Sammy Watkins in like the third round of his NFFC. I will not be investing that kind of draft capital on Sammy Watkins. I don't care if there are reports that he's healthy. He has
never truly been someone you can rely on. He only had eight games last year, as four hundred and thirty yards in those eight games. And the thing is he's also not like a wide receiver you would ever want if you're in a PPR format. Okay, he's one of those stretch it down the field. He's more of a best ball, like a yardage kind of guy. But I'm seeing him in drafts go in the same place as guys like al Shan Jeffrey or Allen Robinson. I would much rather have those guys than take the risk on
the health of Sammy Watkins. I also just don't believe the Bill's offense is is dynamic as what I believe Philadelphia will be or even the garbage time points that Allen Robinson may get down in Jacksonville. What I will say though, and here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, we're doing hashtag Sleeper week. My sleeper you know him as the diamond and the rough that I do here on the Fantasy Freestyle my sleeper is Za Jones. I think Za Jones has opportunity in Buffalo as the number
two wide receiver. Remember they lost Robert Woods to the Rams in the off season. I don't believe in Sammy Watkins. I think there will be opportunity for the rookie. So right now for the Buffalo Bills, my rookie, my diamond in the rough, and my hashtag sleeper week is Za Jones. I think he will have a big opportunity. He's going very late in drafts. You can get him around you know, eleven, twelve, thirteen if you want, and I think he's gonna return
a nice little value. The one other guy I'm gonna talk to you about here because at the tight end position we're talking Charles Clay. Alms Clay is a viable tight end. He is in that big middle tier. Okay. Remember I think that there are like four or five stud tight ends, and then everyone from tight end like six down to tight end like sixteen is pretty much interchangeable. I count Charles Clay among them. But here's the thing. Check this out. Charles Clay lad the Bills last year
with fifty seven catches. Charles Clay lad the Bills last year with five fifty two yards. Charles Clay lad the Bills last year with four receiving touchdowns. Chris Clay, Charles Clay lad the Bills last year with eighties seven targets. All of those lad the team. I don't know that that will happen again, especially if Sammy Watkins is healthy. But Charles Clay is a viable tight end. If you don't, you know, spend the draft capital early, Charles Clay, you
could do a lot worse. Remember right now, though we have a Twitter poll up there, Okay, at F and T, s Y radio and at spitting speeds, we want to know what you guys think about the Buffalo Bills season right now. Hashtag Bills mafia out there. Six of you think that the Bills are ultimately a purgatory five kind of team. The over under for their season win total is six and a half. When we come back, I'll tell you which side of that line you need to
be to try and win some money. But we're gonna stay so fresh and so clean here on the Fantasy Freestyle. We'll also here with the bounty hunter has to say about the Buffalo Bills, all that and more when we come back, right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Maybe my man Chris, we'll keep that outcast going when we come back. Only one way to find out stick with us, all right,
let's go. Have you ever wanted to have a fantasy expert in the palm of your hand, but, better yet, in the pocket of your kapis. We'll check it out now you can.

Right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, I am Dane Martinez. And on the other side of the glass on the ones and two is keeping it so hot that we sweat steam is Mom and Chris Petterio keeping it alive and direct. Here at Studio thirty four at Rock and Riley's, we were talking
about the Buffalo Bills and the hashtag Bibills mafia. One thing that I did forget to mention okay uh today and Quan Bolden is visiting the team and working out for them. Part of the reason I didn't mention it is because ultimately I don't think An Kwon Bolden signs there. If you remember of the last couple of weeks, we have been saying from his camp that he wants some a team that are two things, one down South and to a contender, and I do not think the Buffalo
Bills are either one of those things. When we look at the schedule real quick, this team, this division, the a f C East on the crossover in the NFC they play the NFC South and the NFC South Division. We're gonna preview them next week. I think they're a solid division okay, And so for the Bills that's bad because they have to go to Carolina for the Panthers home opener in week two. They then also follow that up with an early road date in September against the
Atlanta Falcons. I don't think it sets up good for them having to play the NFC South. The good part is back, you know, later in the season in December. You got. I looked at their schedule. I look to see, huh, how many warm weather teams have to go up to Buffalo in December, and they do get Miami up there in December. And they also have a game against the Indianapolis Colts late in the season, which I think bodes well for them an indoor team coming outside in Buffalo
in December. However, untimately, I do not think this team is a contender. I actually agree with you guys, the people that are out there voting right now on F and T, S Y radio or at Spitting Speeds, as I mentioned going into break six of you think that they are a purgatory kind of five hundred team. I agree. Vegas has their over under at six and a half wins for the season. I say pass. I would not bet on this because I do see them as a six or seven win team. I think ultimately though, they
will finish maybe second, maybe third in this division. It will be a battle for second between them and the Miami Dolphins. But I say pass on this over under number because I think they finished right around six and ten or seven and nine. My man, Chris Bovona, I know you have a couple of things to say about the Buffalo Bills. How do you think the team shakes out this year? Who are you, uh, you know, looking for? Who are you looking to avoid? I'm really I'm kind
of fading on everybody on the Bills. Okay, you're down on them. Well, here's the thing, no doubt in my mind, depending on where I'm gonna be picking in the G S T League, I would love to have Shady as my number one sure running back. I've never had him on a team you need him, though you in order to get McCoy. I think he's going like fourth, fifth, or sixth. As for running backs in most traps, you
know you got your big three right. You're David Johnson, your Levy on Bell and your Zeke Gilliott, you know, pending suspension right after that. I've seen people. I've seen Melvin Gordon, I've seen Shady McCoy, I've seen j g I E I've seen Davonte Freeman, all of those guys operating running backs fourth through seven, and McCoy is certainly
in that list and certainly a work coorse. So, Chris, if you want Shady McCoy, you will need to use your first round pick, and that first round pick, in my opinion, needs to be picked eight or better because if you're sitting at nine, after the big boys at running back go and some of the stud wideouts, he might be taken. Not only that, I think, uh, I want to look at Tyrod Taylor maybe as like my second to last pick, because I'm one of those guys.
I don't. I'm gonna do what I can to not take a quarterback before the eighth round, right, I agree with that. But and Tyrod Taylor, to me, he's just such a gamer, So it doesn't really matter who he's throwing the ball to, who's in the backfield. For some reason, that guy's gonna get you. He might get you that
twelve to fifteen points per game. So I I wouldn't mind having Tyrod Taylor maybe maybe a best case, uh maybe my last the last guy I can get as a quarterback, or best case he's a great, great, great
weekly play. Yeah. Absolutely, I agree with you, Chris. And that's the thing like if we are you know, and what I recommend here, what I'm advocating for here on the fantasy freestyle, as you guys are going into your football drafts, remember I'm saying wait on quarterback, right, So if you're not getting the Breezes, you're not getting the Lucks, you're not getting the Matt Ryans, you're not getting the Russell Wilson's, you're not even getting the Derek cars in
that level. But then when you dropped down and we're talking about Rivers and Stafford and Eli and uh, you know all of these guys, Tyrod is in that group, many people would believe the Mariota's as well. And then what you wanna do is you want to get multiple of those guys, okay, because if you get two of them, then you just ride with whichever one is having the better season. And whichever one of those guys is having the better season is a decent bet to crack the
top ten. So I like that, But ultimately it sounds like you agree you do not see the playoffs in the Bills future this year. Not at all. Actually, I think if maybe a little bold prediction here, maybe they end up in the last place and the Jets don't tank as much as I think they do. Are you willing to put any money on that? Let We're gonna have to discuss this because if you want to, if you want to make this deal, we could do it live and direct on air tomorrow on the Fantasy Freestyle.
I will I will put a little bit of shekels. I will help myself win some cash taking your money if we go ahead and make that bet to let us know tomorrow or later on in the week when we preview the New York Jets. Let me know if you still think that is the case. But let's keep it moving right here on the Fantasy Freestyle. As you know, not only do we help you win your leagues and win that cash, we also put the fun in functional
sports radio. So I got a couple of stories that I want to talk to you about real quick before we get into the sports movie Greatest of All Time Tournament So LaVar Ball, LaVar Ball has been in news for months now. You know, obviously the Alonzo balled out in the Summer League, and you know, LaVar was kind of quiet about that. LaVar as you also know as the um, the coach for the Triple B like a AU team, and we you know, we we reported a few months ago where he kind of reamed out his
his his team. It was not necessarily being uh, you know, following the values and vision of what I believe the coach is supposed to be. But check this out. The Triple B team was in what is known as the Double Pump Tournament in Anaheim, California, and his team, which by the way, has LaMelo Ball on it, who is a two thousand and nineteen U c l A recruit who's committed there, and they also had u u c l A coaches in the stands watching LaMelo doing a
little scouting, you know, things of that nature. This team was up sixty nine to sixty and then something you probably could believe, LaVar Ball gets a technical foul. What do you think, Chris that LaVar Ball does in response, gets himself a double technical. Even worse, he decides to pull his team off the court and forfeit the game while they were winning in this tournament, once again proving now when it comes to LaVar it is all about him. He pulled his team off the court and then they
forfeited the game. Because of this, they were winning the game. He gets a TECH and decides to be like, you know what, forget this, I'm taking my ball, I'm taking my team, and i am going home. I think that is absolutely ridiculous and yet another their example of how LaVar Ball makes it all about him all the time. These kids were getting scouted in this tournament. These kids were winning the game, but because he popped off and got a tech, he pulled his team off the court.
What do you have to say about that, Chris, Well, I'm still gonna be rooting for Alonzo right um I again. And that's the other thing is that I gotta be honest like LaVar Ball. Just he just finds every way to make me mad, and I'm just gonna do what I have to do. I'm I'm ignoring him, man, I'm done with Lavara. You are desensitized to LaVar Ball at this Yeah, I want to concentrate online. So the kid
definitely has much more upside than his dad. Yeah, I would say that is a good bet that Alonzo, m VP of the Summer League number two overall pick, may have a decent career. Hopefully he just gets away from you know, the big shadow and the big tent, the big bullhorn of his daddy. All right, let's keep moving though. As you know, we put the Fun and Functional Sports Radio. One of the things we talked about on Friday was the beginning of Shark Week and uh, Michael Phelps racing
a shark. Now, I do research for you guys here who listened to the Fantasy Freestyle, and so I I made it a point to watch this show of Michael Phelps versus Shark. And I don't know if you guys saw this or not, but if you saw it, you could probably hollow at me on Twitter at spitting speeds, you know, do that because um, I was disappointed. I was very disappointed in this because it wasn't actually a race. They did these weird things and like kind of superimposed
the shark while Michael Phelps was swimming. They kind of did like a simulation after running an experiment. They like toad shark food from a boat you know, and tried to have a a shark kind of follow with the scent and follow, and then they took that, got that video from a drone overhead and then superimposed that next to Michael Phelps when he, in fact, you know, swam the fifty meters or the hundred meters. It was absolutely ridiculous. It was not done well in my opinion, and it
looked a little crazy. But I also realized is that the sharks, I guess, they don't have the stamina of a human in the water, right, So what they do is they have like the short bursts that are like and then they just cruise. So it was weird because here's the real question. The sharks didn't know they were racing, so who how do we know they're putting out their full effort and then they timed them. It was really weird.
And what I will say is apparently Michael Phelps did have a faster time against the quote unquote the reef shark, but he did not have a faster time against the hammerhead shark or the great white shark, which is what the betting lines were up against. When he was in fact, could he beat the great right shark? So if you bet the Shark, you did in fact win. Remember I told you to lay all your money on the Sharks, So that was another way that speeds. The spitting statistician
helps you win your leagues and win that cash. Like I mentioned, we're doing Sleeper Week here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network's A Jones is my sleeper for the flow Bills. But here's the thing.

So let's keep it moving as we crown the greatest sports movie of all time. We have a one seed in action in the wild Card region, okay, where we got a lot of boxing,
some golf, some hockey. You know. We have a matchup of the number one seed, Rocky versus the number nine seed, Happy Gilmore. Now, we have been talking about the recency bias for a while, and if the recency bias holds, Happy Gilmore would actually take the lead I wanted to have a golf after what we saw Jordan's speak do at the Open over the weekend. But Happy Gilmore, I think it is a great movie. The Bob Barker cameo, you know, going to your Happy Place. These are all
things that have had a cult following since then. But Rocky, I don't see how Rocky gets knocked off here. You know, Adrian a special in this very important time in US Russia relations. But I will say this, I'm only counting Rockies one through four. Anything after that, in my opinion, is not really part of the Rocky brand. Okay. And right now, right now the number one seed Rocky is up. Okay, they have a big time margin right now, they are
up sixty nine to over Happy Gilmore. So if you want to vote, if you want to make your voice heard, you can at f n T s Y Radio on Twitter, at Spitting Speeds on Twitter. Get out there and vote, because Rocky, if it does in fact advance, Chris, it will face the winner of one of the matchups you helped me out with on the producers over the weekend
last Sunday. So when we come back, what we're gonna do is we're gonna talk about what Rocky may be facing in the next round, how some of those matchups went. And then we're also gonna, you know, talk a little bit more about that breaking news in the NBA around the Cleveland Cavaliers. Okay, all that and more when we come back right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. What do y'all think about the Bills? What do you think about Rocky and
Happy Gilmore? All that and more, or let's go, We're gonna tie a nice nettle boat on this one. All right, come on back.

Stay Martinez on the Fantasy freestyle. That's real quick. Give you some updates on scores around
Major League Baseball. Orioles up on the Raise one nothing after Adam Jones went yard for his nineteenth of the year against Blake Snell. After three, the Indians are up on the Reds one nothing. Royals and Tigers are scoreless. In the bottom of the third, Russell Martin hit his twelve his tenth home run of the season, to give the Blue Jays they run to tie it up against the Athletics. There in the bottom of the third in Toronto,
Astros up on the Phillies to one. That also in the third inning, Houston would appair of home runs Brian McCann with his thirteenth, Alex Bregman with his tenth. And remember earlier today the White Sox beat the Cubs three to one. Important to note that Anthony Swarzak got the save.
Remember I'm telling you that closing market is something to keep an eye in big news today though in Major League Baseball, Remember the Twins have acquired brave starter high make guards see you, and the Royals have acquired Padres starter Trevor K. Hill. Remember with the trading deadline next Monday, we are going to hear a lot of news about that. When we talked about the Buffalo Bills today, six of you agree with me that they're a purgatory kind of team.
Nobody has them as a Super Bowl contender. And people voted the Rams the forty niners and I had like one two of the vote, So no one thinks Buffalo is gonna go all the way. Maybe that has to do something with the fact that they're in the same division as New England Patriots, and right now it was Rocky was up like the vote there, down now to six of the vote. Chris, we'll talk about the matchups you did over the weekend. We'll do that tomorrow. We'll
push that back to tomorrow. But I do want to know, as the cinephile that you are, what do you think about this matchup Rocky and Happy Gilmore. I mean, I I can understand why Happy Gilmore can get a little bit more voting. In that being said, you basically have pitted David versus Goliath, where Goliath it's truly gonna win this one. Rocky is just a lie. It's just a mammoth of a movie. It's also a Best Picture winner
versus an Adam Sandler movie. No offense. As much as I love Happy Gilmore, I mean, Rocky is just classic. Isn't even like I hear you. You're right. It was an Oscar nominee and winner. And you know it is a one seed in this tournament. All the one seeds are still in action. We'll see get the update from Chris Pavona what they did on the producers over the weekend. We will plow on in our tournament. There also will probably be some more trades to discuss. Remember, Derrick Rose
has also signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Will that clear the way for Kyrie Irving to be moved? Come back tomorrow we'll discuss it. As your boy, Dane Martinez speeds the spitting statistician fantasy freestyle. Let's go
