First of all, the TV Greatest of All Time Championship is tonight. It's Seinfeld and Breaking Bad in the final. Who will be crowned the Greatest TV show of all Time? I also got another poll up there for you. We've been talking about the NBA players

and resting so much. My pole question up there for you on that FN T s Y Rady on Twitter handle is do you think the amount of rest current NBA players during the season get makes them less great historically? A lot of people have been talking about this. Later I have some things to add, but let me know. It's up on their on the poll right now. Yes, no or maybe, but it's a business. So it's okay, that's what I want to find out. Big shout out

with the sports Byline listeners. Let's give a big shout out to everybody out there in Oregon, in Hillsboro on thirteen sixty am.

I'll be here to give you what you need to win your league and win that cash. Of course. Big shout out to all our Sports Byline listeners across the country and our American Forces Network listeners around the world. Let's get it going with speeds and starters here. Another beautiful day

in Major League Baseball. Mookie Betts and Handling Ramirez are out for the bus in Red Sox today. They got a flu bug going around the locker room there in Boston. Matt Kemp left the Braves game today after going too for three and having a pretty good start to the season with tightness in him his hamstring. Keep an eye out for him throughout the weekend. UH. Sunny Gray, He's gonna throw a bullpen session UH today and then after that the next step is, you know, live BP, then

maybe go on a rehab assignment. They're now saying Sunny Gray could rejoin the Oakland A's rotation by late April. Another news and notes around Major League Baseball. Colin mq left his rehab start yesterday. He's gonna go back to to Houston for an m r I. He was dealing with a dead arm period during the spring, so that is definitely something to look for on the Astros and Houston. Here's what I want to do. I wanna as usual, I want to give you an update on you know,

the starters I gave you. Remember, I'm telling you the starting pitchers are how you win dfs. All the other stuff is a little bit random. I gave you two starters yesterday to play. I definitely hit with one of them. I was oh so close to putting up a big number with the other one. I'll tell you what though, yesterday's show, I gave you Marcus Stroman at only seventy on Fan Duel. I said he was looking good. I said he was looking great off the w b C. I said that Tampa Bay lineup was one that I

would attack, and Yo, he looked good. He even got you some caves. My one question was did he have the strikeout upside? He had a nice little outing six and a third innings, only gave up one run and struck out five opponents. He got the quality start, he got the win as the Toronto Blue Jays won the game five to two last night. The other guy I gave you was Robbie Ray and he was also close. He was also close to that quality start that you need.

He did have the strikeout upside. Like I said, striking out six and five and two thirds with that cape or nine is what you look for. But he did not go the full six innings that he needs for the quality start. It's a shame too, because right after that the Diamondbacks scored four runs in the bottom of the six and went on to win nine to three. Robbie Ray could have gotten that win for you right there. Tonight's late. Tonight's late. I'm gonna tell you right now,

if you're looking for starters, it is tough. As we move on to Friday, because um it basically the day you know, everyone has their rotation. It is the day when most teams are running out their SP four or even their SP five. If you see tomorrow slate, a lot of the aces come back. So this is the bottom of the rotation. I don't see many options. I'm gonna give you two that I think you should be playing today. The first one is Francisco Loriano at eight

thousand on FanDuel. He's actually the highest price guy, but I say you gotta play him anyway. Okay, I like him going into that Tampa Bay Ballpark. It's on the road. Instead of pitching in Toronto. You don't want guys pitching in Toronto. You get an opportunity to play Loriano in Tampa. I like that. I also think that he's been having a great spring, something of a little bit of a revival for Francisco Loriano, and I buy it. Okay, eighteen strikeouts and only two walks in spring training over a

full game he pitched there in spring training. I like that. The other thing I like, and this goes underreported, I'm gonna be on Francisco Liriano all season long as a diamond in the rough. And here's why. If you remember when Loriano had that revival with Pittsburgh a couple of years ago, you know who his catcher was, Russell Martin. Now back in Toronto, you know who his catcher is, Russell Martin. And I think that is actually gonna be

very interesting, helping him control the slider framing pitches. I think that's a big thing. I think it gets started tonight at Tampa. I love Francisco Liriano tonight in your DFS lineups. The other guy I'll give you because, like I said, it's starting pitcher four or five day. So if you're gonna scroll down, you might as well scroll down and uh. A common theme I'm gonna be giving you all weekend long is I like these St. Louis Cardinals up at home against the Cincinnati Reds, and tonight

at on FanDuel you can get Mike Leak. And Mike Leak also had a pretty good spring fourteen strikeout, six walks throughout spring training. Remember going up against that Red's lineup at home, not even in the Great American small park, but at home, you really only gotta worry about Joe Evado. That's about it. If he can work his way around Joey Vado, I think he lasts the six inning he needs for the quality start. And you're talking about the

Cardinals at home against the pitiful Cincinnati Reds. I like them to get the win tonight. I like Mike Leak. Let me tell you something. I like the St. Louis

Cardinals all weekend long, Fantasy Freestyle on a Friday. So what I also want to do as we go around the league and Speeds gives you his starters, I want to talk about the Saturday matchups and the Sunday matchups as well, because if you're listening like you can on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Monday through Friday from seven to eight pm, where your boy is gonna give you what you need to win your leagues and win their cash, I might as well talk about Saturday and Sunday also, right,

So Saturday Saturday is a beautiful thing. It turns to be the first time around for those aces to get their second start of the season. There's a couple of aces out there on Saturday, one that I'm gonna spend up on, one that I'm gonna fade. This is the only time of the year, this is potentially the only matchup of the year where I would tell you to not spend up for Clayton Kershaw and his second start of the season. Why is that, Well, it's quite simple.

He's facing the Larado Rocky's at Coors Field in Colorado. I don't care who you are, even if you're Clayton Kershaw. Even though that game is only to one today tomorrow with Kershaw, I am fading him on the road at Coors. I will, however, spend up for Madison bum Gardner. I don't care how expensive he is tomorrow because he is at San Diego the Padres. They're pretty much sporting a minor league lineup, and as you know, that ballpark is also a pretty cavernous I love mad Bum once again.

It's just too bad that we can't put uh, you know, his offensive numbers in your lineups as well. A couple of other pictures that I kind of like. Tomorrow on Saturday, Remember I like these Cardinals. Michael Waka goes tomorrow against the same Cincinnati Reds at home. I think Waka is due for a bounce back season. He's using his change up a lot more. He's gonna toe the rubber for the first time. I like Michael Waka. I also like Massa hero Tanaka to bounce back. Remember he had a

bad first start. My boy Jake Seely, who's known as the number one rancor, says that that will probably be his last or his worst start of the season, and I tend to agree. So I think Tanaka comes back, has a good effort tomorrow night. I also like Dallas Kaiko at home against the Kansas City Royals. This Royals lineup does not scare me. Kaiko looks great. Has still not given up a run in his first start. I think he's worth it. Then you look to Sunday a couple of guys I want to throw out again St.

Louis Cardinals. I'm telling you Carlos Martinez against the Cincinnati Reds. I like that on Sunday. I also like Garrett Cole on Sunday against the Atlanta Braves. His first start was at Fenway with a big kind of adjustment for their opening day. I think that was a tough situation, a tough spot. He is at home this time. He was fined through four innings last time around, even at Fenway, I think he has a nice little bounce back start.

And then listen, if I like Madison Bumgardner at San Diego, there's no reason the next day and not like Johnny Quato at San Diego as well. Matt Bumming Quato are one of the best one two combinations you can get in Major League Baseball. And the fact that they are pitching at San Diego over the weekend, Oh my goodness, that looks very very good. Giants to do big things

in San Diego this weekend. Let me tell you something, not only here on the Fantasy Freestyle to I give you what you need to win your league and win that cash.

He's tell you who you need to forget about. This is Dane Martinez on the Fantasy Freestyle. Thank you to everybody out there on the Sports Byeline American Forces Radio Network. This is your boys, Speeds the Spitting Statistician. You're listening live to the Fantasy

Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know what it is. It should boy, Dane Martinez Speeds, the Spitting Statistician. You're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Chris Bavono went me on the ones and two is so hot that we sweat steam. Welcome also to all our Sports Byline affiliates across the country and with the American Forces Network radio around the world. You know how we do here on the Fantasy freestyle.

We're gonna get it going in the cipher real quick. We got some news and notes. First of all, for you in the NFL. Big Ben has officially announced that he will be back for his fourteen football season. You know those quarterbacks from that great two thousand and three class, A lot of conversation about them, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers. Remember earlier in the week I told you Philip Rivers said he would not be mad if the Chargers drafted a quarterback in the first round. So these guys are

getting it up there a little bit in age. Hopefully they're protecting them for the last couple of years of their career. The New York Jets have a couple of people maybe on the eid blocks Sheldon Richardson, they're still saying may get moved before the NFL Draft, and also now a little bit of smoke around Eric Decker. If they are going for the full rebuild, maybe Eric Decker is also on the move. The Tennessee Titans seemed to potentially be interested in that, and they have multiple draft

picks to talk about. Marvin Lewis says an extension is not really on his mind. I would think it would be on his mind. It is the last year of his deal the Cincinnati Bengals head coach since two thousand and three. Your boy speeds, the spitting statistician actually expects

a big time regression from the Bengals this year. I'm calling my shot here, Marvin Lewis, this may be his last year free agent, and Kwan Bolden says he still hopes to play in two thousand and seventeen, but he'll likely wait through craning camp until injuries dictate where there may be a landing spot for him. Travone Boykin was arrested for violating his probation that goes along with a

public intoxication charge. Last week, Seattle maybe looking to change their backup quarterback behind Russell Wilson, and as always on the Fantasy Freestyle have hard hitting news. Aaron Rodgers and Olivia Munn seemed to be calling it quits after three years in their relationship. I wonder what the Aaron Rodgers family thinks. Remember he is estranged. I put it on Twitter. I wonder if Olivia Munn told him to go pack,

go um. I told you earlier in the show that I had his pole question up and the pole question we had up and you can check it out on the f N T s Y Radio, Twitter, handled or follow me at Spitting Speeds and you can get to it. The question is this, do you think the amount of rest current NBA players get during the season make them less great historically? And your absence a yes or no?

Then maybe because it's part of the business. Now. I bring this up because we've been talking about the rest, then the schedule and the back to backs all season long here on the show. But yeah, let me tell you something Dennis Rodman short thinks. So he chimed in in an interview that he gave this week as well, and let me tell you something. This is Dennis Rodman, and I quote, you know what Lebron's doing the one thing that I always said Michael Jordan never did. He

never rested, He played every game. He played every game. Lebron hat is in the position to do this now because they need him, The league needs him, and that's why he's doing all this crazy expletive now like being m about all this expletive. He continues on, it's very easy to do what they define now as greatness. Michael Jordan did it when it was tough, really tough. What he do. He led the league in scoring ten years in a row, ten years in a row. Back then,

that was hard. He averaged like thirty two points a game. Now it's easy. All these expletive triple doubles. Back then when he was getting his ass, what I mean, beat down every game. Then when he played against us, he said, guess what, I gotta go back in the gym, get tough, and he got great. So that is it. You know, Rodman certainly out there scorched earth for the players of today. And check this out. I've been telling you, I gotta

give this stat again. Well, Chamber and once in the sixty two season average forty eight and a half minutes a game. NBA games are only forty eight minutes long. This guy averaged more minutes in a full season because of overtime games than there was. He only missed eight minutes the entire season in the sixty two season, only missed eight minutes the entire season because he got ejected once with eight minutes left to play, played all the games,

all the minutes. This year, there's only four players in the NBA that even average thirty seven minutes a game, Jimmy Butler, Wiggins, Lebron and Kyle Lowry. You know, so basically, by definition, every player in the NBA this year misses more minutes per game then Will Chamberlain missed in that historic sixty one sixty two season and check it out. Kenyan Martin was also signed, kind of saying the same thing, saying, people don't really care that much about, like, you know,

winning and trying hard. It's kind of like all just a little boys club. You know. He sided guys and a nice piece on the player Tribune that I saw today, Um, guys like Reggie Evans, this is a dude that you know, grabbed Chris Cayman down under one time. Guys like Kobe who would just like just straight up killers. Talked about Ron Artest, Kevin Garnett and even head coach back then, Jerry Sloan of the Utah Jazz. That were all kind of, you know, tougher than what we would see out there.

So that's why I ask you, you know, with all this rest and all this talk, do you think it actually lessens you know, they're kind of legacy. Remember also, James Harden thought that thought that this idea of playing all eighty two games and minutes played should be one of the criteria for the m v P Awards. So I asked you, do you think it makes them kind of less great when compared again to their historical peers. All the rest that they're getting, My man, Chris Bovona

making it so hot that we sweats team. What do you think about this, Chris david is drop a bomb on it? Do you think that this kind of diminishes their legacy? All the rest they're getting the players of today's and b A growing up in the nineties, we obviously grew We had some of the hardest working basketball

players in the NBA. UM. I'm not against resting players after you've won certain things like when you've gotten the division, when he's gotten into the but just managing their minutes earlier the season, like in December, I think it's it's a little much. I think the only guys that should be allowed to be have man minutes managed are rookies. Okay, all right, fair enough, So check it out. We got that pole question up on the f N T S Y radio Twitter handle right now. Let us know what

you think. We'll be checking in on that pole A little bit later on in the show, Let's keep it going in the cipher here on the fantasy freestyle which your boys speeds the spitting statistician. Yo, Yesterday I was talking about LaVar Ball, how he was hurting his kid Alonzo, you know, trying to maybe in essence, negotiate contracts for him and be as the facto agent. I said this yesterday,

and then Yo, Alonzo starts popping off again. I don't know if you saw this, but he basically, he basically said that the reason his son's team u c l A lost in March Madness was because that u c l A was starting three white players, which I think is absolutely crazy. But check this out, and I quote from LaVar Ball. Realistically, you can't win no championship with three white guys because of the foot speed. It's too slow. I told Alonzo one of these games you might need

to go for thirty or forty points. It turned out that was the one game. Once they got to the Elite eight, there was right there, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? LaVar like this is pretty much I think this is a crossing the line. I think when he was doing this with the high school coach. It was crossing the line. Now this is just a little bit ridiculous. Now, LaVar ball going absolutely off the

rails here. And remember I said yesterday that NBA and the contracts, it's all kind of an inside boys game. Guys like Maverick Carter. Now you're popping off like this. I think you're hurting your kids. I'm telling you right now. I said it yesterday and I'll say it again. A Lonzo, please get away from your dad. Get out of that. And to be honest, let me tell you something. The three quote unquote white guys that he was talking about. One of them is Bryce Alford coach, his son U c.

L a all time leader of three pointers. The other one top uh T J. Leaf, projected to be a top twenty pick in this year's coming NBA draft. And the third Thomas Welsh, who's a starter for the team and we'll be coming back next year as a starter. You know who else is gonna likely be a starter for U c l A next year A Lonzo's little brother, Lie Angelo. What does that mean? You know, LaVar, you may be starting beef between your kid and his teammates.

I really don't think LaVar knows what he's doing. I think, um, you know, maybe he read the Art of the Deal or something like that. Let's keep it moving, though. I got one more thing I want to talk to you about here in the cipher on the fantasy freestyle which your boy Dame Martinez speeds and spitting statistician. Yo, did you see that? Uh? The United States, Mexico and Canada are looking to have a joint bid for the World Cup. For the World Cup in two thousand and six. Okay,

they're looking to have this bid. It's not gonna get announced until May of two thousand and twenty, but they are thinking about putting it together. Check this out. Conquer caalf president Victor Montagliana, He's Canadian, confirms this. Says Canada, US and Mexico are aiming for a joint bid. The idea has been around for a while. Discussions are continuing and it's a very exciting proposition if it comes to fruition.

We've had nothing but positive remarks about it and it's a very strong sign of what football can do to bring countries together. I think this would be very cool, and they're saying this is gonna be the first World Cup where the field will actually expands to forty eight countries instead of the thirty two that it currently is in the field. Okay, Now on the U S side,

I think this is great for so many reasons. First of all, by that time, my man Christian pool Isship now only like nineteen years old, He's probably gonna be like the best player in the world at that point. And for him maybe to be playing in the World Cup on his home turf, I think would be absolutely amazing.

Here's the thing though, and I talked about this a little bit um and other factors like, for example, Los Angeles is looking to bid for the Olympics in if we have if we still have this immigration and travel thing and travel band going like we do now, I don't know how the world will wanna, you know, have the US open its doors for this. I think it impacts the Los Angeles Olympic bid. I think it could also impact this joint World Cup bid for six Okay,

this travel band may have impact on sports. We've talked about it before with guys like uh, you know, guys like thomb Maker, Guys like uh, you know, Serge Ibaka and others who are from some of those countries. I think it's very interesting and it could have an impact when you know we want to host world events. Think about what happened with North Carolina and that bathroom bill when in terms of sports potentially leveraging that. So um, let's keep an eye on that as it moves forward.

I want to give you a little bit of heads up here. We got some games going on live. The Toronto Blue Jays have scored two runs in the first inning against the Tampa Bay Rays, giving my man Francisco Liriano a nice little cushion of work with. I told you about that Mets up one nothing on the Marlins and the Yankees and Orioles tied at one early on in that game. Last square I'll give you right now in progress of San Diego Padres up on the San

Francisco Giants three to one. I'm your boy, Dane Martinez speeds the spitting statistician. When we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle, on the Fantasy Sports Radio Networking and all our sports byline affiliates, we're gonna put the fun in functional sports radio. We got the huge TV final going on. Who is the greatest TV show of all time. Is it Seinfeld or breaking bad? I know Chris Bavona wants to talk about it. All that and more on

the Fantasy Freestyle. Come on right back. If I ruled the world, you know what it is it should boyd. Dave Martina, a speed and spitting statistician. You're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I got Chris Pavona with me on the ones and twos. We're blown up like a Sampsung seven having a good old time here on a Friday. It's happy hour here in Rock and Riley's in Midtown Manhattan, Fantasy Sports Radio

Network Studio thirty four. We're doing big things going into the weekend, and of course we are so happy to be joined by our sports byline listeners across the country and with the American Forces Radio Network making it truly around the world. Chris Pavona, the time has come we have been doing Yeah, yeah, I know. You look at him. He's giddy about this, people, He's giddy about this. Listen A I would say, like, what was it like a

month ago? Starting with March Madness. You know, we started the sixty four television show Tournament and Brackett to coincide with March Madness, and it all comes down to this. We had sixteen we actually, Chris, because of your uh, your other you know entries that took place in the playing routes in the producers which you can catch on Fantasy Sports Radio Network on Sundays. Um, we had more

than sixteen shows per Brackett, you know. But we had the sitcom, the drama, the reality, and the you know, animated regions. And I ought to tell you something, Chris, I think we want when push them to shove, we did a great job. You know. People were trolling us saying that the seating was off and all this stuff. But here's what I want to tell you, Chris. Check

this out. Just like how in March Madness, you know, there's some upsets early on, and people are excited about the Cinderella's but then when it comes down to it and you get to kind of like the final four and to the end, the cream rises to the top, you know, and then you still have a great championship matchup in in March Madness. With college basketball this year, the final four was a one seed, a one seed, a three seed, and a seven seed. And here on

the Fantasy Freestyle TV Greatest of All Time Tournament. Our final four was composed of a one seed, a one seed, a two seed, and a seventh speed seed. Pretty much mirror images of what took place. So, first of all, thank you to the hundreds of people who voted out there. Thanks again to the producers for doing the play in games.

Everybody that guys like Mike Blewett, guys like Benny Riccardi who were riding with the tournament, guys like Joe Pisapia out there with the Fantasy Black Book, who were you know, everybody chiming on in. It's been a great tournament and we are down to our final two. So yesterday, yesterday we had the final four matchups. It was Breaking Bad against Cops, and Breaking Bad advanced with a whopping eight of the vote. They made it to the final of the TV Greatest of All Time Tournament. And on the

other side we had two one seeds battling out. We had Seinfeld against the Simpsons and this it up pretty close, but eventually, over time it was Seinfeld that pulled away and made it to the final. So what we have here and this is like a clash of styles. Right, we have Seinfeld taking on Breaking Bad. Chris, I'm gonna clear the floor. How do you think this one's gonna go down? Oh? Man, this is sitting championship matchup though right,

fitting championship. This is I know, But if you had to ask, if you just randomly ask people, what were like some of the greatest shows of all time, I guarantee you Seinfeld would be in there, and I guarantee you Breaking Bad would be in there. So we have some some legitimate epic shows going up against each other. How do you think it's gonna go down? I mean, I mean, like you're really asking me that. It's like asking me what's my favorite Italian dish? Chicken, parmesan Jean

or spaghetti like both both of these shows are absolutely amazing. Nobody, how you doing? But I will say this day my birthdays tomorrow, this is one of the coolest, greatest matchups I could ever have of my birthday. I don't find any loser out of this. But in the end, I think Walter White is with Heisenberg and Sky on this. Okay, very interesting, And let me tell you something what we did.

We did a little special thing here usually I put the poll up for twenty four hours, right but because the Friday show, and because we got the whole weekend, because I think this is gonna be really close, I extended it. I extended voting. The voting is gonna be Oh, Chris Pone is not the best in the business for nothing. Everybody with that sein Field music in the background here on the Fantasy Freestyle m and breaking Bad don't mess Yeah, yeah, yeah,

you're doing big things over there. So we did is We extended the polls. The polls are gonna be open through the weekend, so we if you, if you have a strong feeling on this, please follow me at Spitting Speeds on Twitter, at F and T s Y Radio, you can find the poll retweeted out there. Put it out there so we can crown who is the greatest of all time. Right now, I gotta tell you, the last time I checked, it was very close, over a hundred votes already. And the last time I checked, Chris

it's not this way anymore. Last time I checked, it was fifty. It is that close right now. Right now, it looks like Seinfeld has pulled slightly ahead. I know Benny Riccardi is not gonna be happy about that. Benny Riccarti early on in this tournament said that breaking bad would win it all. Right. Now they are slightly down to Seinfeld, but we got plenty of time. Plenty of time. And again also big shout out to my man the King, Scott Engel, who in one of the Seinfeld earlier matchups

did something really good with us. Uh, you know, with the voices that he did. Uh not yet, not yet. Let's play it. Maybe if they win, if they win on Monday, we'll play. We'll plays a little bit of a drop. Maybe we'll do it a little bit later on in the show, Chris. But I do have a couple of other things I'll get to you. We'll check back in on those polls a little bit later on in the show. But as you know, here on the

Fantasy Freestyle, we put the fun in functional sports Radio. Okay, So I got a couple of other things that I want to talk about with you. I don't know if you saw, Chris, but Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow hit a home run in his first at back in the minor league season. Tim Tebot like exactly, Tim Tebow continuing to be you know what, I'll call media savvy, gotta get

himself in the news somehow. Okay, he had a he had a he had a home run on his first pitch of his first at bat of his first game down in single A. He's playing with the Columbia Fireflies in Minor League baseball. And you know, we heard a couple of weeks ago how he wants to adopt a kid from every continent. I don't know that that was the way he wanted to stay in the news. Maybe he's gonna do it just by being a legitimate minor leagueer.

I thought it was very interesting. Interesting stat though. The guy he hit his home runoff of, a guy named Dominic Maza, was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in two thousand fifteen. Guess what pick he was drafted in in two thousand fifteen. The picture that gave up the Tebow home on ball Chris, do you know he was picked? He was picked six sixty six, So maybe, you know, maybe it was maybe he was saying something there, maybe

he was saying something exactly. You know, you know, Tim Tebow is the chosen one in more ways than one, going up against the six six six draft pick. I think it was very very interesting. I'll tell us to tell you about this. Tim Tebow always has a knack for timing, right. I told you he's playing in in Single A with the Columbia Fireflies down there down there

in the Mid Atlantic States. You know who the team he hit it up against again, you know six six six was the draft pick of the picture this Master's weekend. He was playing against the Augusta Green Jackets. If that doesn't help you be in the news when the Masters is going on playing against the Augusta Green Jackets. Timmy Tebow continuing to stay in the news like he is wont to do. Keep it a moving though. As we put the Fun and Functional Sports Radio, I'm your boy,

Dame martinezeys Pi's and spitting statistician. Remember we're here live on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. If you want to holler at me, whether you are on any of the Sports Byline affiliates or anywhere around the world on American Forces Radio, you can do that at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. Whether it's about this rest issue in the NBA, whether it's about LaVar Ball or what he's doing, or anything. We talked about

on the Fantasy Freestyle. Your boy's speed. The spitting statistician is always willing to holler at your boy. Check this out, Chris. UFC two ten is going down pretty soon. Okay, and one of the matchups there is a woman's matchup between Cynthia Calvillo and Pearl Gonzalez. Okay, but check this out. The fight is now being scrapped. You want to take one guess as to why. I don't think you will get it, Chris. One guess as to why this women's

UFC fight has been canceled. Uh, don't tell me it has anything to do with someone that's in command of our country. It certainly does not. It certainly does not. However, UM, check this out. Pearl Gonzalez, she has breast implants and she's been disqualified because of her breast implants. I'm not making this up. Check this out. Um. There are by laws and I could. Commissioner says this due to the concern over rupture. Boxers who have breast implants are not

eligible to box in New York. However, boxers who have had breast reduction surgeries are eligible to box. This rule has been in place since two thousand and four and UH Pearl Gonzalez just has never fought here in New York where UFC to ten is scheduled to UH to take place. So um, the fight has been been canceled because Gonzalez has been ruled ineligible because of her breast implants. Okay, I think this is a little crazy. Um, the future

is kind of up in the air. Gonzalez is six and one in the UFC um but now we don't know, you know, if she's gonna be able to get back on any card. This is gonna be her big time pay per view kind of debut taken out for breast implants. What do you think? That's not what you were gonna guess, right, Chris, I don't think that's where you were going. No, I was not going with that one. I know, I know, right.

So we'll keep an eye on this. But like I said, Yo, Speeze a fit and status the station we put the fun and functional sports radio, not only giving you what you need to win your leagues and win their cash, but what you might be talking about at the water cooler on Monday when you go back to your job on Monday, talking about, Hey, you know about this UFC fighter that got disqualified because of the resting plants. It's

a true story. I will never lead you astray. I got one another topic I want to talk about today. If you remember, earlier this week, I talked about the top ten ballpark foods that are out there. I was talking about using funnel cake as bread. I was talking about all the derivatives on the hot dog, including the sun Rise Dog in Kansas City, which is basically a bacon, egg and cheese wrapped around a hot dog. That sounds tasty to me. However, check this out in Seattle at

Safeco Field their debuting this season. What I think tastes takes the cake waking grasshoppers. They're calling it toasted waking grasshoppers. These are toasted grasshoppers tossed in chili lime salt. I'm not making this up. Would you buy h would you buy bugs at a baseball park? I think that's kind of crazy. If you're going to Seattle, would you buy these toasted grasshoppers? Chris? I know you don't want these. I know you don't want these. Clearly you don't want these,

but check it out. Seattle is not the only place you can go for crazy food. You can also the Chicago White Sox. The Chicago White Sox, they have a couple of players that are doing some crazy stuff. First of all, you on Mancata, the young stud rookie. He likes himself some Twitter, some Twinkies almost as much as like Beast Mode, like Skittles. He eats eighty five a week. I don't know if he's gonna be doing that when he's a ten year veteran, but with his twenty two

year old metabolism, maybe he could still do that. But I think that's absolutely crazy. But White Sox GM Rick Han says that they're kind of used to it. Remember Alexei Ramirez back in the day, the middle endfielder for the Chicago White Sox. What he used to do which this out. He used to take to Crispy Cream donuts and then he used to put mayonnaise in between and have a Crispy Cream sandwich. I think that's out of control. No wonder the White Sox have not been making the

playoffs recently. You know, contrast this with guys like Tom Brady who care about his diet so much and all these guys going vegan, and guys like Vince Carter that attribute their diet to the reason that they are still, you know, doing it at a at a advanced age. I don't know if you're on Mancata or Alexei Ramirez have it in them. But those are some interesting foods. I don't know, Chris. I'm not going to Seattle for the grasshoppers and I'm not eating a Crispy cream in

Mayo sandwich. I don't know if you do, you have any interesting tastes like that? Would you do that at the ballpark? I would try something different. It has to be some kind of like different hot dog. It has to be a derivative of a hot dog. Yeah, we were giving out the top ten bullpen or ballpark foods, and uh, I don't know if I would do that. Let me know if anybody out there is in the

Seattle Hilaria, and you try the grasshoppers. Hollow to boy at eight four four, eight four three six, eight seven nine. We're about to take a break here in the Fantasy Freestyle. We'll come back. We're gonta checking on the polls, checking on the baseball scores, all that and more as we slide into the weekend. I'm gonna boy, Dave Martinez.
