Seahawks, Lavar Ball, Soccer Talk, and Mayweather!

Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. As always, want to give a big shout out to our Sports Byline affiliates around the country and around the world, to the service men and women out there listening on the American Forces Radio Network helping them win their leads and win that cash. On a Thursday, I got my boy Donnie Burns with me on the ones into so Hot that we sweats theme and we got a good show for you tonight. Okay, as always, I'm gonna give you

my starting lineup. I got a nice mid level play here tonight. If you want to try to beat Chris Sale, who was the stud up in DFS line. It's also gonna give you some season long diamonds in the rough. We haven't done that in a little while. I got some guys under fifty percent owned that you should definitely

take a look at. Also, as I was kind of first to report earlier in the week it was going to be made official, we're gonna talk more about how to make some money on this Floyd Mayweather Econo McGregor fight. The lines have been moving dramatically already, as you know. Here we put the fun and functional sports radio here in the cipher. We're gonna talk a couple of things, like I've been talking about gender fluidity in sports recently. Also what's going on in the Seahawks locker room. We

have some interesting audio on that. We'll also have a poll question as usual, and if you want to holler at me at all this hour, you can do that at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. Of course, you can get us on Twitter as well, catch us at f n T s Y Radio. You could always catch me, follow me, asked me questions at

Spitting Speeds on Twitter as well. The poll question we have up, We're gonna get into it a little bit later because I heard some interesting quotes out of Jacksonville about Blake Bortles. Bortle Service, tell us what you think about the jags chances this year with and without Blake

Bortles potentially as their quarterback. Go on Twitter follow me at Spitting Speeds asked that question when we come back, Like I said, I'm gonna set you up for DFS Baseball tonight, Season long baseball recently and then you know we're going to get into that Floyd Connor, because the lines are moving and we gotta get into it with my man Donnie Burns, the love Doctor. You know what

it is. It's your boy Speeds, the spitting statistician here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. After the break come around, you know what it is, dropping stats over beats. Ah, Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyles. Boy, Jane Martinez, Speedies and spitting statistician holding you down. On a Thursday, we are live here at Rock and Riley's Studio thirty four. The weather has

been absolutely beautiful here in New York. It's a little cooler than it was when I felt like I needed to sweat and take four showers a day. It's real nice. We got some people out there on the roof deck patio enjoying their happy hour. But right now, if you're listening live on one of our sports Byline affiliates out in the Pacific time zone, maybe you know you're stuck on the four or five, or you know, just getting

into happy hour yourself. Hopefully your boy speeds that spitting statistician, Can you know, ease you on into a Friday, a summertime on Friday with you know, some tips to help you win some cash and be ready for the weekend. Let's start going around news and notes from Major League Baseball as we get into our starting lineup. Uh Michael Brantley, the outfielder for the Cleveland Indians who actually had a

great game against Clayton Kershaw earlier this week. He is going to be out missing some time for the birth of his child. We say congratulations to the Brantley family as well as his wife Melissa, hoping that uh, you know, mommy and baby are happy and healthy. We got the Red Sox starting pitcher Brian Johnson. He's gonna go on to the d lutting him in the DL with the left shoulder injury. He left his start earlier this week and the third inning, and it's gone directly to the

d L. Make note of that. Matt Shoemaker also yesterday left his start against the Yankees in the fourth inning. He's listed as day to day. Make sure you check that in your lineups as well. Donny Burns given up those beats. That's what we do here on the Fantasy Freestyle, dropping stats over beat so you can win your leagues and win nag cash. Also, Matt Harvey, as the Mets saka continues, Matt Harvey is gonna go see a doctor after his start last night. What they're calling arm for tigue.

I'm saying this is a big time red flag. Remember this is a guy coming off of Tom John surgery, who just had that thoracic injury, and they were all sorts of question marks going into his stammin or going

into this season. So we shall see. Also, um, I'd be remiss if I did not mention, especially to our FO folks maybe listening on the American Forces Radio network, that baseball game between the Republicans and the Democrats is going on as scheduled tonight from Nationals Park in d C. Hopefully this could be the beginning of people really toning down their rhetoric and working together. A great embodiment of

that tonight at Nationals Field Republicans versus Democrats. All Right, last night, I gotta admit to you, guys, last night I told you the way to go as Corey Klueber, who was the chalk and was the most expensive at ten thousand, two hundred on Vanduel he delivered, gave you seven innings of quality work and struck out ten giving you that qualities start. So probably you did pay up

and did Okay, I apologize to you. We hold each other accountable here on the Fantasy Freestyle man, I did not the guys I got you last night to try to beat Kluber did not go well. I told you about Dylan Bundy. That didn't go that well. He only went five. He did get you a window against the White Sox, but he did give up four runs. Not what you were looking for if you went with Dylan Bundy. Michael Planta also was just kind of after having quality starts in six of his last seven outings, he gave

up five runs. That was not the best thing. Also, I told you about Mike Leak, but he did not do it either, So hopefully I'm gonna do a little bit better tonight. Remember the truck tonight is Chris Sale against the Phillies at eleven thousand, five hundred, going against Nick Pavetta. No not the NBA ref Nick Bavetta, but Nick Pavetta for the Phillies. Who's got a five point five e r A. You gotta think Sale, and you gotta think if you stack some of those red Sox,

that could be an interesting matchup for you tonight. Listen, if you want to try and beat it, though, I have to bargain basement guys, that could be because listen, Sale hasn't been uh, you know, as strong and is at the beginning of the season. Here's two guys for you. How about Jordan Montgomery at seventy hundred on FanDuel. The Yankees have been hot. This guy is pitching at Oakland tonight. A great park change, you know, going from Yankee Stadium

to Oakland. And also Montgomery has been getting better in each of his last few starts, went all the way up to seven innings pitched as they stretch him out, and struck out eight in his last start against Oakland. I think you can get Jordan Montgomery with a reasonable facts simile of the performance of Sale potentially tonight. Also, Jeff Hoffman is going for only sixties six hundred. He's actually been good, but I don't know if you could stomach an outing happening at Coors Field. If so, the

upside for strikeouts is there. And uh, you know the Giants do not score runs, lowest run total in the National League. Those are two guys. But hey, if you want cash games, want to go up for Chris Sale. I completely understand what I want to do also here on the Fantasy Freestyle, because I feel bad about giving you people that maybe did not help you win cash last night. So what we want to also do is look at our season long folks out there. If you're

playing season long fantasy, you might need some people. I found some diamonds in the rough for you. These are people that are owned in less than fifty and in most cases less than a third of standard leagues out there, some people that have been killing it in the last month that may still be on your wave a whire. So you know, that's what we do here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I want, you know, I want to put you onto some of these people so that you could,

you know, start to move up in the standings. First of all, check out Cameron Maybron. Cameron Mayban, who's basically in from Mike Trout in the last month, has a one point one one two op yes. And the thing is, this guy is a speedster, and they're steals are scarce right now. He's had eleven stolen basis over the last month twenty on the season. But the thing is, over the last couple of weeks, Cameron Mayban is hitting four

twelve and I think this is sustainable. His babbit is three twelve, which is a little higher than league average, but that's what happens when you have these speeds. There's there bab if is naturally higher. I really really like Cameron Naban recently, and he has only owned in forty three percent of leagues. Especially if you need steals or run scored, go out and get Cameron Naban. Another guy. I want to tell you about this guy I have been on for a wild Lomo of the Tampa Bay Rays,

Logan Morrison, is still only forty percent owned. Can I tell you something I don't think you would know this Logan Morrison is tied for second in the majors with nineteen home runs on the season. He's tied with Ryan Zimmerman. He's tied with Joey Vado nineteen Homer's already on the season. Only Aaron Judge with twenty two has more. How can the person who is second in the league and home runs only be owned, Well, that is the situation right now.

I recommend if you're out at happy Hour, or maybe if you're listening here at Rock and Riley's on the rooftop patio, He's only owned if you're in a group of five. I got it's math for you. Three of you right now can pick up the person in second place in home runs in major leagues. That's Logan Morrison. Give him a look. Also, I've been telling you for weeks, ever since Freddie Freeman went down, that I thought Matt Adams would be a strong play. I have been saying

it for a while. I say he profiles great in that new SunTrust Park where the power alley the right center has been benefiting everybody, including Matt Adams, over the last month. Matt Adams is the overall rated hitter, okay, overall rated player and I've been talking to him, to you guys about him for a while. His o ps. This guy has hit eight homers, knocked in one runs in the last month, and there's only twenty two percent owned.

You can go out and check to see right now, if Matt Adams could augment your offense, I'll give you one on the pitching side as well. I make Garcia. I make Garcia right now is only owned. And I'm gonna tell you, I'm saying this cifically if you are in a league, especially if instead of wins, if it's quality starts. This guy has five straight quality starts, but you would never know it if you're only looking at wins, because he lost in those. He lost to one and

he lost three one in those in those outings. Okay, in the last month though, two point one six r a one point oh six whip. This guy is struck out thirty two in his last forty innings. Okay, and I did a little bit checking off the schedule. His next two outings are at home against the Marlins and the Giants. Those are not necessarily teams with offenses that scare you. So those are some guys that I think you should check out in season long leagues to help

you win your leagues and ultimately win that cash. But you know, don't just listen to speeds of spitting statistician. There's more that you could do. For example, go to the Road of Experts dot com e Sclusive Edge in Season Fantasy Baseball package because it's your ultimate bench coach for the two thousand seventeen season. If you stay ahead of the pack with our in depth statistical breakdowns, are trend analysis and player insights, you can be I'm a

And this season we get a built in fantasy training staff with our new Injury Advisor and that's powered by Inside Injuries dot Com. Listen, get the Rhodo Experts dot Com Scusive Edge in Season Fantasy Baseball package now and you will start soaring to the top of the standings.

That's what we're here for. Okay. Here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, we give you what you need, whether it's Scott angle. It could be the accuracy king, uh Jake Seely, it could be my guy Greg Sussman. It could be you know, Frank Standfeld writing articles. Okay, you will get what you need to help you out. That's what we do here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. But when we come back, we're gonna do is. We're gonna give you a little bit of news indoors around

football as mini camps are going on. Also, I'm gonna tell you what you need to do to win some money on this Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor, uh fight. That's what we do here. That's what I'm gonna continue to do. Speeches fitting statistician on the Fantasy Freestyle coming right back. You know what it is. It's your boy, Dane Martinez on the Fantasy Freestyle here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I got my boy Donnie Burns on the ones and twols blowing up like a Samsung seven

over here, bringing you that day. Lie as we come back. Oh oh, we're dropping stats over beats here on a Thursday here in a studio thirty four, Rock and Riley's making it happen. Let's get into the cipher with some news and notes around the NFL as mini camps are in fact going on. First of all, Eric Decker former wide out of the New York Jets. He has left

Tennessee and still does not have a deal. There are reports on road a World Today that you need to keep an eye potentially on the Cleveland Browns as a team that may be interested in Eric Decker's services. I'm sure that'll be a kind of like uh, last last ditch option for Eric Decker. Also up in Buffalo, Sammy Watkins participated in most of his reps. Remember I have been saying for a while that I am worried with him as an injury risk, but it's good that he

is participating in most of practice. Listen, I'm scared for a number reason. It's not only his health, but the Bills are probably scared of his health. They have declined his fifth year option. I know, my boy, that's on the Fantasy Black Book on Tuesdays and Fridays. My man Maddie Modica loves Sammy Watkins this year. But truth be told, he's also a Bills fans, so he may have that bias that prejudice. I don't know well, so like I said, man, we got that greatest shape of his life going on.

Right now. We're hearing rookie running back Joe Mixon for the Bengals is a quote unquote beast. We also here out there on the West Coast that with the Oakland soon to be Las Vegas Raiders Marii Cooper, they're describing that the dog is coming out of him. We expect big things out of both of these players moving forward. Also want to give you a note. Marcus Mariota is in fact working at O t A. Remember he's coming

back from a broken leg. He was saying today at session that, um, the mental part is really the biggest hurdle that the Physically it's fine, it's just about being able to kind of trust it. And also my last note, I put this on my Twitter timeline, and remember you could always ask me any questions or follow me at spitting speeds is the way to go if you want to find me and all that good stuff on Twitter. Um,

here's the story. We're talking about. Bordle service Blake Bordles on the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Moron was kind of joking with reporters when asked what was the ideal number of attempts that Blake Bortles would throw per game this year, He joked around saying zero. I don't think that's a ringing endorsement of your starting quarterback. And it got me thinking, and so it's our poll question up tonight on that at f n T s Y Radio,

on Twitter and at Spitting Speeds. You know, the Jaguars have done a lot to bolster their defense in the a couple of off seasons. They also remember drafted Leonard four net number four overall. Between Alan Robinson and Alan Hearns, they have had other offensive weapons. The question for you is would the Jaguars be an NFL playoff team if they got simply average quarterback play? Right now, fifty percent of you still say no, But I find even funnier those pent of you say they are now even with

Blake Borders. You can continue to vote on that poll. Will check in on that a little bit later on in the show. All right, what I want to talk to you guys about right now is how you can potentially make money on this Connor McGregor Floyd Mayweather fight. Okay, it is going to be twelve rounds of boxing. I've been saying before it would be much more fun if it was like eleven rounds of back boxing and then one round of UFC fighting. Then I think we'd have

a fair fight. But that's not the case, okay. And I've talked about it before that Connor is the bigger man. Connor's an awkward south paw. But here's the deal. Floyd Mayweather is the best defensive fighter this world has ever seen, the best defensive boxer in history. A lot of people don't like his style that he runs away at time, but he's a counterpuncher. There are incredible all time boxers, Canelo Alvarez, Oscar de la Hoya, Manny Pacio who struggled

to land against Floyd Mayweather. Now you think somehow Cono McGregor is going to do this. But here's the deal the public. I don't know what it is, but this line is dramatically change it. It started with Floyd as minus, then went down to minus eleven hundred, minus eight hundred, all the way down to minus six fifty. Listen, if you want to make money, wait on this and then bet on Floyd. The money money is coming in on

conom McGregor for some reason. But here's the thing. This fight is gonna go the distance like every other Floyd Mayweather fight. It's gonna be a boring fight. You're not gonna see a knockout. E conom McGregor is not going to be able to land on Floyd, and Floyd is not going to be able to knock out Connor McGregor. We're going to see a twelve round decision and it's going to be a white watch. I say you wait as long as you can as the price comes down

on Floyd and try to get Floyd by decision. If you can Floyd by decision, that's the way all of his big time fights will go. No one will be able to damage or hurt Floyd, including Connor McGregor. Okay, if you really think Connor can do what I'm telling you, he's not gonna win a decision. So take Connor by knockout in the first three rounds or something like that. That

That is not where speeds is. Cash is going to go. Listen, guys, Connor McGregor has never made more than ten million dollars for a fight before the purse and the pay per view money. He is going to make something like a hundred million dollars in this fight. This is not a fight to be betting on. This is not This is an exhibition. This is a business venture by Connor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather. This is not a fight, a gentleman competitive fight. This is an exhibition match and should be

treated as such. I'm excited about it, but I'm excited because this is just building Connor's brand. He's gonna after this. I doubt highly that he ever fights in UFC again. After this pay day, He's gonna have that money and become a promoter, just like Floyd did, just like Oscar de la Hoya, just like Bernard Hopkins. Once he has that pay day, I'll be damned if you think now that he's gotten a hundred million dollars that he's gonna go back in to the UFC and risk his life

and limb for five million. If you remember, he's a new baby daddy, he ain't going to do that again. This is his exit pay day, his big score, and then he's moving on. I'm telling you bet Floyd by decision. Alright, let's keep it moving though here on the cipher on the fantasy freestyle Here's here's a topic I wanted to get into a little bit yesterday. I haven't alluding to

it over the last couple of weeks. Remember when we talked about the gender fluidity and how we had that high school wrestler who was is still like identifying as a boy but competing against the girls and stuff like that. Well, we have another case of this. Andrea Yearwood, who was a high school freshman in Connecticut, won the girls hundred meters and two hundred meter events in the state championship a couple of weeks back. She was a boy in

middle school. She is transitioning, okay, plans too, but hasn't yet taken the testosterone suppression drugs, the chemicals that you need to you know, go through this transition. But she's been allowed to compete under the Connecticut regulations as a female. And here's what's interesting. Her father has quote here the Rashan year would she just wants He just wants his daughter or turning to you know, boy two girl, to be happy. You know, it's not about winning and losing.

This is about the health of his teenage daughter. He he doesn't care really if it's fair or not. He just wants his daughter to do like the right and healthy things in terms of taking these drugs that she needs. Right. But here's the thing. There used to be a limit of testosterone that someone could have in their body and be classified quite frankly as a female. Okay. Joanna harper Is consults with the i O C on this and has noted she's she is transgender, she's competing, she's transitioning now.

Um is a doctor of transgender and was a marathoner and actually says that your performance drops by ten percent after you have the use of this these drugs that kind of suppressed the testosterone. It's real, it has a real impact. I mean, testosterone is the best performance enhancing drug that we have as humans, and it is natural. That's why there's more in men than there is in women. It's a natural byproduct here. Okay. But what happened is the IOC they change the rules and there is now

no limit. Okay. That's why if you hear the South African runner cast the Semania, she's able to compete without these kind of drugs to suppress the testosterone. There used to be a limit. It was challenged by a racer in Indian named dute chand okay, and so now the level of testosterone doesn't even matter. Okay, Um, this rule is up for view in August. To me, it's a

very very slippery slope. Like Donnie Burns, I want to bring you in here, Like you know, when you wrestle in or box, there's weight classes, right A hundred fifty, four, hundred sixty, whatever the weight limits are. What they're now trying to do is draw lines not only by their weight, but by the level of testosterone, like a biological thing, to be like classified as a man or a woman. I want to get your thoughts on what this means for these athletes that are, you know, going through this

drug treatment. But also I don't I don't know if I agree with this, Donnie. I think everybody should be able to do what they want in terms of identifying gender wise, but I don't think that levels of testosterone should in fact determine gender and or like class. When you have weight classes in boxing, right, you know, so that a two hundred ten pound guy can't fight against a hundred sixty pound guy, but we probably naturally have hundred sixty pound dudes who have a range of testosterone

are we like reclassifying gender based on testosterone. I think it's really weird to start to have that be a formal line. What do you see on this? I think it's really weird and something that you know, we're gonna have to confront as a society. As you know, transitioning and transgender becomes a bigger part of the sports landscape. But they clearly have not figured it out in an

adequate way yet. Donnie. Yeah, I feel like they're just adding more loops to just jump through as and what we've seen is that these these individuals, these athletes want to compete against, say the men still or with the girls wherever they should. They're not trying to game the system. But it's really like much like kind of laws on the internet, we're in brand new territory here where we

don't really know how to regulate it. It's just it's just making harder for everyone, including the athlete, but more so the committees that have to kind of regulate this thing. You know, they want to make it fair for everyone, but you're just adding more fuel to the fire. It's gonna be harder for them as a group to make

sense of all that. Yeah, I know it's absolutely crazy, but you know what, we are going to continue talking about it here the Fantasy Freestyle, because you know, this is just athletes, right, you know, and no athletes should be shamed and should be able to perform against their peers and show their athleticism and their dominance. You know, it even happened in a UH under eleven soccer team where there this wasn't no transgender, but there was a

girls team. The entire girls team was banned because one of their players looked like a boy. This is Millie hernandez Um. She's just a girl with short hair. And you had Abby Wamback Mia Hamm tweeting support for this girl. Her father was upset in shock. You know, this one was just the typo like on a on the league registration or something. But it's so horrible out there the way people are being made, you know, fun of, because of the way they want to identify or the way

that they look. And I don't think that's right. And we're gonna stand for that here on the Fantasy Freestyle when we come back a lot more here as we put the Fun and Functional Sports Radio, Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I got Don Burns bringing the heat like an inconvenient truth, as

though his name was Al Gore. Donnie Burns, I gotta tell you, I am getting messages right now about people saying that you are bringing the fire with that day lost soul. We're coming back with tolip quality. Yo, Donnie Burns. You're doing work so hot that we sweat steam here on a summertime Thursday. Props to you, Donnie Burns. Fit stats over beats, baby, That's what we do on the Fantasy Sports Network. Oh my goodness, your big things. I

want to get into real quick, Donnie be Um. I mentioned flippantly at the end of this uh story before that Millie Hernandez an eight year old girl for Azuru Coturis, which is an under eleven team. Their whole team was banned. This is in Nebraska because opponent said that this girl Milli her name and has looked like a boy. The parents had her birth certificate there as proof, and it didn't matter. They banned the entire team from this U

eleven tournament. Like I said, then, you know, Abby wamback me and ham All kind of tweeted support for her Abby wamback session. She won a championship with short hair, you know, and and like I said before, her father had some quotes talking about how you know, she was really mad because the girl Millie was crying. And I just think it's so horrible, you know, It's so horrible what we see in terms of the bullying that goes

on and people feel in pressure about how they identify. Um, everybody here has a friend in your voice speeds the spitting statistician Donnie Burns, though I want to keep it moving here in the cipher on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. A couple of stories I wanted to get into with you because, uh, who's gonna be here with me tomorrow? I know I got you Monday to Thursday, and I'm gonna have my man Chris Bovono or is it gonna be JP the night Out?

It's gonna be JP the night Out. So there's so many stories we're gonna have to catch him up on. But I wanted to get at this, but where I lose you for the rest of the week. First of all, we got to talk about my homeboy, your homeboy, LaVar ball Um. LaVar ball has signed a deal with Leaf Trading Cards where he has, uh you know, he has like now LaVar ball trading cards with phrases. He's got his own like catch phrases on these trading cards. I don't know if you've seen this. Have you seen these

Donny babies selling them? Selling him sixty a pop. It's like basically his own baseball card, right, but he's got slogans on them. One of him says, like magic is not allowed to my workouts. One says ain't enough, one says if you can't before the zero two Janata baller Um. One of also says stick to the donuts, Chuck obviously talking about Charles Barkley. Um one says, Alonzo's better than Steph Curry, I'm better than Michael Jordan's. This guy is

out of control. But the thing is, I think it's gonna sell, Like I I don't know, but I think people are going to pay for this. It's absolutely crazy. The other thing about Alonzo and the balls that I wanted to mention to you get your take on real quick, Donny Burns, is that, uh, the Lakers are having a second workout with a Lonzo there were rumors that his conditioning was not up to snuff in the first one.

I asked you the first the fact that they're inviting him back for a second workout, do you think that's a good sign or a bad sign? You know? Is it like, do you think that's a good thing or a bad thing? You know? For the Lakers eventual chance of drafting him number two overall. As a coach, I would probably say it's more to kind of gauge, like they said he was out of shape, which I like,

I said, I was surprised. You know, his father kind of talks about how, yeah, he can run the court, he'd be a great point guard for the Warriors, running gun. Very shocked he was out of shape, and in essence, weren't they prepping his whole life that running good style. So I'm not really sure they weren't specific on what,

like how out of shape he was. But Umdaron Fox is given this guy real hard sounds like it sounds like Fox is exactly what you want in a point guard, whereas Lonzo Ball is potentially a liability on multiple levels. Alonzo's most appealing staff from college was his eight his eight assists per game. If he didn't have that, man, Darren Fox is just climbing this draft for I'm a big Fox. We shall see the NBA Draft will happen

a week from tonight, Donnie Burns. Uh, So we're definitely gonna be breaking that down a little bit next week. We'll see if we can, uh maybe get some guests to come on and uh, you know, chop it up with us here in the cite for on the Fantasy

Freestyle as well. Another topic I wanted to get into you uh with you don as we put the Fun and Functional Sports Radio Listen, I've been saying four months, when there's smoke, there's fire, right, and there has been a lot of smoke about some beef in the Seahawks locker room, multiple things that we've been talking about. First

of all, Um, not martellis excuse me, Michael Bennett. You know, for some reason, it's continuing to ride with Colin Kaepernick, you know, continuing to say that race played a role, and that's different, Like if you want to be an advocate with that other kind of topic and narrative that is going on. But I think, honestly, I think that part of the reason the Seahawks passed on Colin Kaepernick, yet Pete Carroll continued to say that he is a

starter in this league. I think the Seahawks did not want to bring in Colin Kaepernick because he may have been a threat to Russell Wilson in that locker room and there could have been a mutiny or something like that in there. I think that's very interesting. You also here recently that ESPN had an article that there was beef with the with Richard Sherman and Russell Wilson in there. My man, Corey Parkson, the Fantasy executive, has been on this.

We would, I guess, appeared with him on the Fantasy Football Frenzy and we talked about the Seahawks locker room as well. Very very interesting, Donny, you said you wanted to get in on this real quick. He's just real quick. With this whole Colin Kaepernick and the Seahawks thing. There's not one thing that you can tell me or try to con vinced me of that Austin Davis a better

quarterback or a better fit Colin Kaepernick. I just hate this ostracizing and obviously, if you've been listening to fantasy freestyle. You know, I've been saying this for a long time. The only thing could be if you know, Kaepernick's financial demands were out of whack with which what would have been a you know, backup quarterback. But I agree that's what I'm saying here right now. Also, Austin Davis was no threat. They didn't want to put Russell Wilson in

that situation. Also, check this out though we have a sound Michael Bennett. He was also on the Breakfast Club with Charlemagne the God and they were talking. They were getting into it about how Russell Wilson may be perceived in that locker room and also, uh, you know, getting a little bit of shots out there about remember his relationship with Siarra and how other teams may be trolling Russell Wilson and that relationship. Donnie Burns, we have that audio.

It's a couple of minutes. This is Michael Bennett on the Breakfast Club with Charlomagne the God, and then we'll chop it up talk a little bit more about what this means for the Seattle locker room and Russell Wilson as well. Let's get to that audio, Donnie, because Russell Wilson get respect in the locker room. I asked that that's what a lot of the press that he doesn't get respected. I heard y'all hate him. I heard some Seahawks hate Russell Wilson. I don't hate Russell Wilson. He's

invited me to his house. He had fried chicken, so I think Russell wilson chicken looked like a grilled chicken. Now he had fried chicken, and um. I didn't like the steep potatoes because they had some it was too fancy. But other than that, it was good. Now, is there any truth in the room that some of the Seahawks can't stand Russell? Wasn't because what I always was the team was splitting half. Half of the team roll with Russell, the other half roll with Marshawn Lynch. No, I think

everybody rolled with everybody. I can't say. I think media is supposed to find a story and they want to find a way to divide a team. And I think you can't be divided when you go out there and play football because it's so dangerous. It's the opposite of basketball. When Steph Curry falls on the ground that he you know he gets up and he said he acts like he hurt. But in football, like when a guy gets

really hurt, people have the why and stuff. Are really involved in the in the sports, so I think guys have to be one unit when they're out there. So I think people want to hate Russell Wilson because Russell Wilson has you know, he's translated this sports a little bit. I think every there's like a couple of guys in the NFL who translated the sport to him, Brady, Russell

Wilson and maybe Odell Beckham. Those are the guys that are on top of everything, the A list celebrity, so I think guys are I think people want to have that envy about him, but you can't really because he's a down earth type of version. Its Futures music really banned from the Seahawks. It can't be banned in my locker because I listened to Future every single day when right Marsh Madness and I'm just jamming, so still around.

I don't think Russell gets affected by I think he's one of those guys he doesn't really get affected by that. I think he's married to us here, he's he has a family and I think they've they surpassed that. You know that that small Have you ever asked Russell if he likes uh, any of the All right, so there you go. That's most of Michael Bennett was getting into. They go a little bit deeper into it. You know, if you want to check that out, go ahead. But

Donnie Burns say this, you know two things. One, you know, what do you think about um this idea that Russell Wilson has been a divisive force in that locker room? Do you think there's anything really there and he's there there? And also, what do you think about this idea that other treams still be using Future to troll Russell Wilson. Well, first of all, I love Future as well. Okay, okay,

you know in that sense. But here's the thing with Russell Wilson, he kind of he's kind of reminiscent of that you know, that goody two shoes guy who the media kind of sees the Seahawks, say, see Marshawn Lynch from Oakland. You know, he's like he's always he doesn't want to talk to the media. Stuff, keep total opposites, and that's just you know, the media looking for something to make and I'm like, there's no there would be. I mean Richard Sherman. Richard Sherman also denied that there

was any beef. But it seems like for a long time now, even going back all the way to the Golden Tape saga, it always seems like there's drama in the locker room around Russell Willson. Hey, that's pe you think, But listen, let me tell you something. Seattle Seahawks. Remember they had some injuries last year. Sherman was banged up a little bit, Russell himself was banged up. And they're in a division where I think, um, two of the teams are straight blunt guts trash in the San Francisco

forty Niners and the Los Angeles Rams. So I think the Seahawks will be prime to have a nice little record, make the playoffs, and host games up in the Pacific Northwest, making them a very difficult out. Starting on Monday, we're gonna be getting into on Fantasy Freestyle our team by team previews and also if you just go on the Rodo Experts dot com right now, you can start to

get your draft kit preview. I'm talking about the King Scott Angle, who We also, Donnie, we should talk to you about because, um, I know he's a Seahawks fan.

In our team by team previews, I'm gonna give you, you know, the diamonds, the gayazes. We're gonna balance them up against their season win total. And listen, I was hitting it when it was baseball previews, So hopefully start listening on Monday, tune

in for the team by team previews. Okay, we're also, Donnie, we're gonna be starting a new bracket tournament on Monday that we're gonna announce. I've been, you know, making the brackets, making the seedings, so we're gonna talk about that starting on Monday as we put the fun in Functional Sports Radio. Last thing I want to get into because it is fantasy football season, Donnie, I got a new a couple of ideas for people who are looking to spice up

their fantasy football leagues. Okay, because some people now they've been doing it for years and they want to, you know, get some ideas on how to change it up a little bit. So let me bounce some of these ideas off you real quick, Donnie Burns, and see if this would uh make your fantasy, uh fantasy league a little

bit better. Okay, So first of all, what about the idea of having a couple of weeks, maybe the week right before the bye and the week right after all the byes, having it be double head or week where you're playing against not one, but two different teams. Because you know, sometimes you could have a great week and

still lose, or a bad week can still win. It would be interesting if you were playing against two teams on a couple of weeks, you know change right now, a lot of people wind up with I think thirteen games in their standings. What if you had a couple of weeks where you were playing multiple teams and that record instead of going oh and one on one and oh you went like you know, one and one or two and playing multiple teams in one week. What do you think about that idea? Like that? You know there's

always that trash talking between everyone. If you get two people out of the way one week, hey you're the king of that week. Man, I do really you know that that's actually a good one, all right? And I got another one because yo, and I know this. Me

and my boys have discussed this as well. Sometimes you got a whole bunch of people, right, What about the idea of using like soccer style relegation and promotion, having like a whole fantasy league and then having like Syria B you know, a whole B league and like the last place teams in your league get relegated to the B league and the champs of the B league can come up and play with the big boys. If you

have enough people, what do you think about that? Especially for those guys that stop trying, exactly, they get relegated down my pet peeves, man, I know, and they're not playing, they're not trying if they're non playoff teams, you know, exactly, And and it affects competitive and balanced. Okay, and then maybe you know, they get relegated and there's some kind of punishment, you know, paying to get back into the big boy League or something like that. UM, I think

there's a good idea. We're gonna keep on talking about potential changes as we get into fantasy football. I want to get your opinion on all that. All right, Donnie Burns when we come back, that we're gonna tie a nice neat little bow on this episode, go with check the scores around Major League Baseball. Checking on that pole as well it should boy. Dane Martinez speeds the spitting statistician here on Fantasy Freestyle and the award winning Fantasy

Sports Radio Network. Coming right back. Oh, welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Uh, we got a couple of scores around Major League Baseball. I want to let you know about bruising. Cards are tied at two in the bottom of the second, keyon Broxton with his ninth home run of the season. In that one Raise and Tigers they are tied at one.

That game is in the top of the third, Nationals have the only run of the game against the Mets in City field that has come from a home run from Bryce Harper, Red Sox and Phillies. They are scoreless in the bottom of the third. That does not help my Red Sox stacked tonight in DFS, but we shall see. I also want to keep tabs on this pole question that I had up for you. Uh percent of you say that the Jaguars are not a playoff team even

if they get average quarterback play. Crazily enough, four percent of you think that the Jaguars are a playoff contender right now, even with Blake Bortles Bordals service as their quarterback. I sort of think that if they get good quarterback play, uh, they could be a contender, which is all the more reason why I don't know why they don't go out and cut bait on Bordles. You know, they had opportunities for guys even like Ryan Fitzpatrick throughout the off season,

Jay Cutler, Tony Romo, keep that phone close by. Maybe the conspiracy theory could be over in Jacksonville. If they go ahead and look for a guy like Colin Kapern, it can't do much worse than Blake Bortles. Also want to give a big shout out to my man, Gabe Moranty here on the Fantasy Sports Network. I told you how crazy it was that Floyd is all the way

down to six fifty, He responded to me on Twitter. Wait, it's gonna He thinks it's gonna go all the way down to minus three hundred by the time we hit August and this fight. Big shout out to sports rage out there right now, Hey, Gabe, let me know if it ever gets down there, I am going to be hit in the A t M and laying it on Floyd Money Mayweather in what is an exhibition, not a fight.
