Speaker 1

The Sports Radio Network. You are now about to witness the strength of fantasy knowledge Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now tuned in to the speeds and spitting statistician on Fantasy Freestyle up next on that cipher on the microphone. You know that I'm one of the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is. It's a point, Dame Martinez, a k A. Sped j k A to spitting Statistician a k A. The stable genius and vocal minority. And welcome to another edition other Fantasy Freestyle right here in

the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm your host. You know what it is, y'a. What do we at? Danny, Episode three hundred and sixty eight. I believe just more than a full year of freestyle Jilly Dilley. If I'm wrong, let me know to the stats overbeat cipher out there. How we're doing Dilly Dilley to everybody, by the way, there is we're gonna talk about Dilly Dilley, Danny. We're gonna talk about some of these commercials I'm seeing over

here on the CBS array of networks. If you're watching March Madness, we'll get into that in a little bit. We got a good show for you. Okay, here's what we're gonna do. All right, We're gonna first talk a little bit about March Madness. We're gonna get it in where Speeds was right, where Speeds was wrong, in true fantasy freestyle fashion with the stats over beats Cipher. I'll tell you why I like a lot of the things that I said right here at this desk last Monday.

Then what we're gonna do also in our middle segment. Listen, everyone's talking about March Madness. We're always talking about football, and we will do so later on in the show. But uh, Major League Baseball kicks off in earnest this week.

Opening day is Thursday. So I feel like it is time, Danny for me to give everybody my picks, my previews, my division winners, my league champions, my m v p s, that sort of thing, because listen, two years ago, oh and this spot, by the way, I gave you the Houston Astros as the world said, or the a L Pennant winners when they weren't even favorite to win their own division two years ago. Similarly, when I give you kind of these picks, I've given you the Philadelphia Eagles

in this spot. So I'm gonna let you know who I think will win these divisions. I'll give you the lines on some of them. Will go into that. And then, like I said, we always talk football, right, but we're gonna do it in a different way because that free free agency wave has come. The draft prep, you know, there was some Pro Days things of that nature. But I'm gonna get into some kind of interesting stories, Danny

about some players that you may not have heard. We're gonna talk a little bit about Cam Newton, Lamar Jackson, Johnny Football, and of course the news about Rob Gronkowski who was announced that he is retiring from football after nine seasons with the New England Patriots. We tip our cap to Rob Gronkowski. I'll get into that a little

bit later on in this show. Big shout out as always, two stats over beat Cipher Dilly dilly to everybody out there in the chat room, listening, watching right now, we're gonna get it in you know how it goes, Hey, Mendel, Bruce and the more baseball, I'll give you my um, I'll give you my picks on that for sure. And then uh Clayton, Yeah, well, we'll talk about Gronk as well, but let's start it. Let's start it with March Madness because Danny Listen bro on this desk and Mendo Mendough.

First of all, I'm glad Mendel is there because this is where I want to start. Mendel Bruce hit me up on my Patreon and Mendel Bruce was like, ah s m A shaking my head. I'm giving out too many upsets, Mendel, I want to clarify exactly anybody else out there, I want to clarify what I was saying. Okay. I was saying that most people are doing more than one bracket, okay, and so I was trying to give some people upsets. I wasn't giving out fifteen twenty upsets. Men, though,

Here's what I did, and I can go region by region. Okay, I'll tell you what I said, and let's see how they came to pass. Okay, but overall for Mendo and everybody else. But I was saying, is if you are filling out two, three, four brackets, which a lot of people were, because that was my poll question last week. I was giving you an approach, okay, not giving you the fish, teaching you how to fish as usual. Okay,

So let's look at this though, Mendo. The first thing I said, the very first thing I said, all right, was that this tournament more than most others. Okay, I said more than most others. Would have maybe some upsets at the beginning, but I said, the cream will rise to the top. I said that the top seeds in these regions I like as cream rising to the top. And what do you know, the top one, two, and three seeds of all four regions have advanced for the

first time in something like a decade. All right, I said that, I think you want to ultimately have ones and twos, ones and threes in your elite eight in final four. That was point one so far. A week later that stands to be true. Then I had said, region by region, what upsets I like? So first of all, Mendo and everybody else in the East, I said, the upsets I gave were Liberty, who wound up winning Speed's got that one, right. I also wound up giving out

Yale and Belmont in that region. Now, those teams didn't win, But if you were playing a little putting some shekels on it. By the way, Yale was plus six and a half. They lost by five. Belmont was plus three, they lost by two. So I was giving you live dogs. And maybe you still like my man Rich out there in West Virginia. Maybe you were still doing that all right. In the in the Midwest region, I said, this is a region that I thought was gonna be real Chalky,

and I told you to watch out for Wofford. Dude McGhee wound up with like twelve three pointers. Okay. Then in the West region, Danny play the jock clip thirty three ten. In the West Region, I told you to look out for a very specific player and a specific team. Danny played that from last week five game. I like the twelve seed Murray State. I like them because of two reasons. Two words. John Morant, Danny, John Moran. You

may have heard me talk about this kid before. He is going to be a top three pick in the NBA draft, Danny, But he just comes from a small school. Think like Steph Curry when he was at Davidson in the Anti Double A Tournament. Danny. Okay, this kid is a top three NBA draft pick in uh this upcoming draft. He just happens to be on a very small school who has the twelve seed. All right, this kid is going to win games. I think back himself, he was

on the same age. Thank you, Danny. So what happens what happens on like Thursday night, the nation is introduced to John Moran who has a triple double something like seventeen, sixteen and eleven. Everybody, all of a sudden, it's like, oh, this could could be the number two overall pick. Stephen A. Smith being like, I've never seen this kid before. Oh my god, this is why you go stats over beat Cipher. In the West, we're gonna come back to the West

in a hot second. In the South, however, I think this is really interesting, Danny, And this is the one we found the time code of I said that of these upsets. Oh and by the way, yep uh, I gave out mur Ree state in that region. I told you, I like Buffalo, they dominated in their first round matchup. Yep,

yep okay. Now in the South, I was like, specifically with my approach to the brackets, I was saying that you gotta be able to zig one of the people's egg and I told you a very specific place where you could get paid Ziggen where people zagged and where the Cinderella would come from. And I said them by name. This was last week. You're gonna hear me literally being like next this time next week, watch what happens. Well, people, it's this time next week. Danny played the clip a

little fun, okay, And I like these upsets anyway. I like Oregon. They are an elite defensive team. They lost their They lost their best player early in the season. He was supposed to be a lottery traff pick named Old Bowl Danny. His name was Bull Bull. He was the son of former NBA player Minute Ball Ball Danny. Right, there's gonna be a lottery picked. They lost him in the middle of the season. They they they got crushed of a lot of games right after they lost him.

They're starting to figure out how to play and they're coming off now just winning out of nowhere. The Pac twelve tournas team. Let's keep it going, Danny seed Danny Oregon over with coin for this. I like this legitimately. Remember when I told you with Yale as the four teen seed, I was like, I wasn't ringing endorsements in the South. I love the thirteen seed. You see Irvine, the ant Eaters, Danny, mother and anti Eaters. I'm not kidding.

You see Irvine also another elite defensive team. Okay, I like them over Kansas State and I like Oregon over Wisconsin. You know what that means, Danny. With Oregon facing you see Irvine. It happens every year, Danny, there's at least one, like four any that makes it to the sey. You know what I mean. It's in the relative glass slipper. Here's an opportunity for you. This is a place where you could put either Oregon or you see Irvine in there.

If you're doing multiple sheets, make sure you have Oregon or you see Irvine getting into the Sweet sixteen on some of them. You are going to thank me, literally, Danny. Next week we're gonna be sitting here on Monday, we'll be at the Sweet sixteen, and we're gonna be talking about some of my upsets that are making it through and still playing. You see Irvine, Oregon. That is a good spot in the Danny, I literally said, it's a week later. Guess what, Danny, it's a week later. What happened,

brother man, Damn Skippy, Damn Skippy. It did Oregon and you see Irvine ducks and anti eaters represent But there's one more that I want to let people know about, because this is where we're gonna spin it forward. Danny.

All Right, I talked about how I liked the cream rising to the top, but I said, in the West region, there are a couple of leapers that I like that weren't the one seed, weren't the two seed that I think are really dangerous, not these crazy Cinderellas, but teams that I like that are legit play the clip, Danny Gonzaga as much. I also don't believe in Michigan as much.

Here's where we can get a little bit kookie if we want, all right, and let me tell you then, if it's not these top seeds, the ones that I do like. I do like the three seed Texas Tech Crush the Buffalo last night, Danny, I do like the four seed Florida State Crush. Danny comes from the A C seed. All right, you could end that, Danny. So here's my deal. People in the West. I told you you could get a you could make a nice little

futures bet. I told you I like Texas Tech out of in the West and I like Florida State in the West. This was the place to fade the one in two seeds and what do you know, the three seed Texas Tech, the floor seed Florida State. They are both live. Okay, So so far, Danny, it sounds like the stats over its sif it was getting a little bit of extra cash or venmo or bitcoin or whatever you want to call it, right, Danny, Yeah, that sounds good.

So far, sounds good. I hope the speeds. Thank you, Thank you, Clayton, Trey hand jerr t in the building. Thank you, thank you, clay And I hope that's not sarcastic Clayton, um that you know I did. That's right, that's why we have it on tape. You know what I'm saying. But here's let's spin it forward now, Okay, So I look at this stuff. I look at these games that are gonna be uh this weekend, alright, this week sixth team. We got four games on Thursday, we

got four games on Friday. Here's what I like. Okay, because now if I if that doesn't build enough credibility with you guys, I don't know what I'm gonna have to do. Okay, But here's one team. I'll tell you what I like. These Tennessee valls. I like the Tennessee balls on Thursday. People. They are getting one point. They are a very small favorite. It's basically who's gonna win the game. I'm telling you that kid bone their point

guard quick as all get out. Okay, Admiral Schofield, Grant Williams, these are guys that are big dogs. Okay. I think they can have their way with Perdue. I think the SEC, by the way, has impressed me as a conference. L s U gone further than I thought without their head coach. Okay, I told you about Tennessee. They look good. You know, Kentucky looks good. Auburn looks really good. Don't forget they were a top ten, top fifteen team at the beginning

of the season. Okay, Auburn looks good. I think the SEC looks good as a conference. And it's interesting because that is my pole question, if you want to get down with it at spitting speeds on Twitter right now, which is which conference has been most impressive to you so far in March? Madness has been the SEC with the teams I just mentioned the A C C. Obviously, the Dukes, the you know, uh, the Carolina's, the Virginia's and of course Florida State votech as well or the

Big ten. Let me tell you Big ten still as Michigan, Michigan State, and they have perdue, although I'm betting against them in the Sweet sixteen. I like Tennessee. Let me also tell you, guys on Thursday. Okay, some of these numbers I think are just too big. Remember when I said the cream rises to the top. There was a big gap in the round of thirty two. What happened on Saturday and Sunday? The favorites one all sixteen games, not necessarily against the spread, but the teams that were

favorite won the game outright. Okay, nobody, um, none of the underdogs really won, even Oregon verse U c R and they were technically the favorite. Okay. So the cream rose to the crop. Where you had your like two verse or sevens, you're eight, your ones verse, your nine, even though you know Taco almost came in on Duke. Okay, but now we got the cream with the cream. Now I think these numbers are too big. Okay. Florida State getting seven and a half eight and the points against Gonzaga.

That is too many to me. Florida State has the depth, has the length, has the size to compete with hard Jamura, to compete with Clark. Okay, that's gonna be I think a close game. I think seven and a half is too many. I like, I understand Gonzaga, but I've been on Florida State for a while. Similarly, eight is too many for Oregon in Virginia. In my opinion, this game has a total of one nineteen and a half. That means everyone thinks it's gonna be a low scoring game.

I say it all the time. This is one of my teaching you how to fish in lower scoring games. Big spreads mean a lot more and attract me. That's in the eighties nineties, eight points wouldn't be that much. But if the games in the fifties, eight is a bigger chunk of your a lead, of your total percentage of points. If that kind of makes sense to you mathematically, Oregon getting Nate is real tasty. Florida State getting seven and a half real tasty. But my best bet on

Thursday will be the Tennessee volunteers. I think they take care of the produced Boilermakers. I told you last week that I thought Tennessee was alive to seed that I really like Tennessee. You can check the tape on that one. Also. I'm sorry, Danny, I don't have the time code. Maybe we'll get to that. But I still like the Tennessee volunteers, all right. Um on Friday. Friday is a little bit tougher for me. Um. This Houston Kentucky game, I don't

have a good read on. I gotta tell you the truth. Um. The one thing I would like is look at this total in the Auburn North Carolina game. I would wait on it. It's the highest one on the board at one sixty three. That's both teams in the eighties. I know Carolina can get there. I don't know if Auburn can get there. I would take and take a second and wait on that one and then bet the under. See if it goes up to one sive, then bet the under. I don't think both of those teams are

gonna hang hold into their end of the bargain. Okay, So I like Tennessee. I think those Oregon points, those FSU points are a little bit too many. But maybe you want to wait on those two and then maybe wait on and take the under for you and see an Auburn on Friday. But Danny, I gotta tell you something. If you were watching these, I'm gonna ask you something. Did you see Danny um any commercials for orange vanilla Cokelay? Any chance I did? Okay? Can we talk about this?

What is going on with this man? And like like it's some new like it's cherry coke or something. All of a sudden, this is like the biggest push I've ever seen for a product for a soda in a very long time. When you talk about super Bowl commercials and stuff, I'm seeing a seventies shaft version of orange vanilla coke left and right. I don't understand you, Like, is this like the new hotsh Danny? Is this in Fortnite or something? You got me? I I don't understand

the mixing flavors of orange and vanilla together. That doesn't make any sense to me. Yeah, but I do like the orange cream sodas that like the supposed to be like those fountain ones, the orange cream sicol ones. But I don't know if that's what this is because it's still coke. It's a little weird to me. And also, Danny, we gotta talk about this when we come back. Have you seen the new Bud Bud Light domain King Dilly Dilly commercials and the Miller Light responses. I think those

are interesting when you get into those. And my picks from Major League Baseball opening days this week, come on back and the freestyles. You know what it is fitting statisticians, big shouts to the stats over each side. Are we in there? Hopefully y'all listen to Hey, thanks for downloading the podcast, and remember, if you want to listen live, download the I Heart Radio app, download the tune and app and just search for Fantasy Sports Radio Network and

I hear the writing is on the wall. Um, yeah, you ain't gotta be superstitious, or you gotta do get down with the status over beat, cipher voice, pisa spitting statistician, stable genius, vocal minority and make it pop off big shout out to the people in the chat room. Um uh, you know, big shout out to Clayton. Also Clayton saying thanks that I called it. Uh, thank you for clarifying that was not sarcasm. That was amazing. And I wanted to shout out to Clayton. And I wanted to make

this point. Clayton, You're in the chat right now. Okay, I was ready, I was I was gonna talk about this. Big shout out to Rob Gronkowski. Okay, we want to tip our cap to Gronk. This is from from a Jets fan. Okay, so really do you think I want to do this? But Rob Gronkowski first ballot Hall of Famer. I also agree he should walk away. You've heard me say it for the last year, year and a half on this network. Similar to conom McGregor, I don't understand

why Cone McGregor is still fighting. Rob Gronkowski has had multiple back surgeries. Rob Gronkowski has nothing left to prove. He's one Super Bowls, He's known as one of the greatest toilet tight ends of all time. He's in the Hall of Fame. Why subject yourself, Gronk to the to the physicality, to the car crashes. That is an NFL season. I agree you shouldn't do it. And you heard in the commercial that was playing. If you're you know, listening to us that I've been saying he can do whatever

he wants. That was gonna be my pole question. Maybe I'll do that next week. What's next for Gronk? He could be in the TV booth if he wants. You could be in the TV booth if he wants, pregame play by play. It doesn't matter people who want Gronk. He could be an actor if he wants. You think he can't go to Hollywood do some acting, of course he can. He could try and take like the Rocks Path and stuff like that. You know he could do

that if he wanted to. Or he might come back. Listen, I wouldn't put a pass in to come back all of a sudden. The Patriots to struggle in along at you know, five six and five in October, no no weapons, and and Brady's like, come on, Gronk, Stretcher, run you don't got worried about training camp, come on back. I think that's possible. But what I think is going to happen.

What I think is going to happen. Is I think this dude is going to the wrestling I think this good dude is going to the w W E all right, and listen, a couple of years in WrestleMania, Clayton checked me on this. A couple of years of WrestleMania. Isn't he like boys with Joe Rawley? It didn't he do a little bit with like gender Mahal at WrestleMania a

couple of years ago? And here's what I'm saying. All I'm saying, Okay, you know how I talked about this the Vocal Minority, right, and I try and give you something that I see well in advance. Clayton, do you know where Raw is tonight? I think it's emanating from Boston, Massachusetts tonight. If that isn't serendipitous timing that he could announce this and then maybe be at the front row of Raw tonight and maybe get into it. It seems

like you're suggesting, Clayton, there it is Boston. You seem like you're suggested maybe something like the Revival and he tags with Mojo. Interesting. You know, listen, I would not be surprised if all of a sudden Gronk is in the first row and someone's talking smack to him to night. All right, but I digress. I didn't want to make that point, but we do shout out Gronk. Okay, I'm listening as a Jets fan the whole boy am I excited? Right? Because without Gronk, what is really left for Brady as

he enters his age or the two season. But there's plenty of time to talk about that a little bit later on. Let's get into baseball here, because it is opening Day on Thursday. Yes, I know that Opening Day was technically last week when the A's and the Mariners had two games that was each Rose curtain call, that was each e Rose victory lap. And don't get me wrong,

he deserves it. I think it was cool, all right, and I think it was right that they made him play a week before because let me tell you something, I have taken that flight for fifteen hours from Shanghai to JFK, although unfortunately mine got like rerouted through Chicago O'Hare. But that's another story for another topic. China Eastern I ain't messing with them, um, but I digressed the unicorn

of like um. But opening days this week. Okay, Opening Day is really this week, and so it is time for us to go division by division, tell you what I like. So let's get it on and popping. Last week I gave you upsets like Liberty, Murray State, you see Irvine. Here's I'm gonna tell you more ways for you to win a little bit of extra kay for the stats over beat Cipher. That's how we do it here on the Fantasy Freestyle. First up Awards is the a L c I Young And let me tell you something.

Blake Snell could go ahead and win in and all that if the smart money in the a L. In the a L, Okay, there are only gonna be three teams in my opinion, that compete for like the best team in the American League, for the best record in the American League. Okay, that's gonna be the New York Yankees, It's gonna be the Boston Red Sox, and it's gonna be the Houston Astros. The Cleveland Indians are gonna be a little bit behind right So to me, those are

the squads I looked to for my SAW Young winners. Okay, and yeah, it was a nice story about Blake Snell, but I gotta tell you something. And and if you look at the Yankees rotation, seven Renos already gonna be out till May. Paxton, new new guy there first year, be a trade first. So I don't take any of the Yankees. With the Indians, There's so many options, and

you know, could be Kober, could be Carrasco. M I think Verlander is kind of like just pass a. I think, honestly, if we if we're, if we're, if we're honest with ourselves, the best picture in the American League is Chris Sale, and Boston is gonna win nineties odd games. I think Chris Sale is a viable favorite. He is um he is at plus three hundred right now, he's the second choice. I like Sale as my favorite to win the al

Cie Young. If you want to take someone off the beaten path, go to one of those Indians, but don't take Kluber, Take a Carrasco, take a Bower. You can get Carrasco at plus sixteen hundred, you can get Bower plus twenty two hundred. I think those are interesting values at the in the NL. You know, okay, of course you've got Scherzer. Okay, you can pass. I think you can fade Kershaw with his with his injuries already. I like, here's what I'm gonna go off the beaten path, my

n l Cy Young Award winner. Okay, you know you could always go Scherzer in the same way you can always go sail. The guy I really like if he puts it all together in places, how is healthy? Noahs synderguard man and we could talk about no Us in the guard He didn't like to travel, having to take the bus across state, having to go to Syracuse for the exhibition. Shut your mouth, bro, that's where you use the company line the coach talk alright of like, hey, we just do it for the fans. It's great to

be out there. Let our fancy us. We gotta say all that stuff, bro, all right, check it out. He was talking about he doesn't like rodding the bus. He doesn't like the amenities. Because he's a major league ball player. Sometimes you gotta suck it up. But I think he's gonna suck it up to the team of thirty one starts, which is all a guy like this will need to

fully realize his potential. I think a nice little value here you can get it at plus fifteen hundred, fifteen to one for Noah's Syndergard as the n l CY Young Award winner. I like that. Let's look at some of these divisions. Can we do that? Let's look at some of these divisions. I think that's pretty interesting. Okay, if you look at the divisions in the American League. Listen, in the AL East, you got the Yankees in the Red Sox, right, Yankees minus one thirty, Red Sox minus

one twenty. That's real tough, okay, because they're gonna be neck and neck. I personally think the Yankees win the division. But as you know, I'm a Yankees fan, so like, if you wanna go against that, fine, But because there's obviously the Yankees and the Red Sox and both of those teams are gonna make the playoffs, one is the wild card. That's not where you can make any money. The Indians, I think, are the runaway winners of the American League Central. You can get them at minus four hundred.

That's interesting, But you may be saying it's not enough of a return for me. Minus four hundred. I don't want to make in my bet. I don't want to have to invest a hundred dollars to make twenty five. Here's what I would do for you. I also believe it's a lock that the Houston Astros when the A

L West. Okay, I think they're too good, too good at pitching, Verlander, Cole, you know the you know the crew, and also offensively, they got so many young studs from Springer to Bregman to still Correa, who people are forgetting about Carlos Correa. I think he is a value in fantasy drafts if he stays healthy, all right, to al Toove, we get it's a ton right. So what I would do in the A L. I think you've got two locked, solid favorites. I think the Indians are a lock, and

I think the Astros are also a lock. So if you par lay both of them, if you par lay, okay, the Indians in the Central and the Astros in the West, Okay, that then gets you a little bit better, right, That gets you a little bit better of a part lay. That gets you a little bit more of a kind of return. And that's how I would play it in the American League, all right, That's how I would play

the divisions in the American League. Let's look at the divisions in the National League, because I think those are a little bit more interesting. The n L man the NA least they are gonna beat each other up. I think that's a tough one. Okay, listen, you got the Phillies as everybody's Darling favorite. At plus one eighty, they could be kind of like that dream team, but you know, a lot of adjustments. I think the Phillies make the playoffs, but I don't know if they win the division. I'm

off the Braves. I don't think they're starting pitching can hold up. I like the Nationals at plus two eighty. Listen, Yeah, I know they lost Bryce Harper, but you know what they did. They're letting Juan Soto come on up. They're letting Trey Turner get back and healthy. They got a ton of other offense. Thill Rendon is an m v P candidate that people don't know about, Adam eat and Ryan Zimmerman. They still got offense. And what I think is the best for the Nationals is they're starting pitching.

Max Scherz or Cy young candidate Straussburg, don't forget about him. And they signed Patrick Corbin, probably the best pitcher in the free agent market this year. They now go one to three in a way that I think most teams cannot compete the Mets if they stay healthy, if the Graham Synderguard, you know, Wheeler mats that line up, which has a lot of older guys, you know, the Canoes of the world. Health has always been their issue. If they stay healthy, I think the Mets can make a

run at a wild card. But I like the Washington Nationals to win the NL East, and I think you can get good value. They are the third choice in that division. Okay, I like the Washington Nationals in the Central. Listen, I think the Brewers are not going to creep up on anybody. I don't think they have enough pitching to repeat. I don't think in Kristen Yellich is going to be the m v P of the league again. And that's what you're banking on. If you think the Brews are

gonna repeat, I don't. I think the ship has sailed on the Chicago Cubs a little bit. I think Lester is a little old. I think they got hamles who's a little old? You is not there? It's Kintana. Now. You know they're gonna have to carry them. Uh. Pitching wise, I think their offense is still great, but I don't know if they got the pitching. Give me the St. Louis Cardinals. Give me the stud kid, Miles Nicholas, you know. Give me Flaherty on the hill, Give me Jordan's Hicks

and Andrew Miller in the pen. Give me them signing Paul Goldschmidt to pull in the middle of that order with a guy like Marcel Ozuna, you know, and some other thumpers that they got there. I like the Cardinals, and you know what else. The Cardinals were always the team that I think they'll make a trade in July if need be. All right, So I like the Cardinals. In the n L Central in the West, give me the Arizona Diamondbacks. Excuse me, give me the Dodgers. Okay.

So I like Dodgers, the Nationals, and the Cardinals. And then I think, listen, I think two other teams in the East. You know, your Phillies can get in, your Mets can get in, your Braves can get in. I think maybe three teams from the n L East can get in. Okay, So let's talk. Let's talk um m vps. Here if you talk m v ps. You know, here's where I must admit, I'm gonna give my my bias

is gonna come here. Remember when I said I fade any Yankees when it comes to the A l Cy Young Award, Well, I do think Yankees gonna win the A L m v P right now, the A l m v P. All right, The favorite is Mike Trout. And you know he could win it any year, right, but he just got his extension, he got his money. You know, listen, he could win the MVP anywhere any year. I'm just gonna say no this year, okay. And if you want to argue with me that you think Mike Trout is the A l m v P, what am

I really gonna say? All right, but I'm looking to get a better value, Okay. Mookie Betts is the reigning defending m v P. I don't think he repeats. I think he has a little bit of um A regression, to be quite honest. The third choice is my man at plus eight hundred, Aaron Judge all rise. I believe he's gonna be the A L m v P. And here's why people are forgetting that he missed a lot

of time last year. This is the guy that if healthy can get fifty home runs, people are forgetting about all rise the judge at plus eight hundred, I think that is a great pick and the plus in the nl sure give me Bryce Harper, fine, but it could also be Paul Goldschmidt. I like the Cardinals. Okay, so I do like um Paul gold Schmidt potentially, and then we gotta get down to it right. Pennant and World Series.

This is where in the past I gave you the Houston Nationals to win the AL Pennant correctly, Let's start with the NLCS. I told you I believe the National League East is gonna be dominant this year. I think iron Sharpern's iron. I made this point about the a c C Conference last week in the tournament, and look

at them now. I think the iron sharpens iron. In the National League East, I think two teams, at least two teams from the n East make it to the playoffs at least one of the wild cards, if not both, and I think it'll be to n L East team standing in the league Championship Series. I have in the LCS the hot start, the hot shot, Philadelphia Phillies facing my Washington Nationals. I believe the Washington Nationals will win the NL Pennant. I believe finally sures or Stroudsburg trade Turner,

they're signing Corbin. I like their bullpen. I finally think they put it all together and they finally have enough pitching. I think it finally smiles on them. I like Washington Nationals to win the National League Pennant. Okay, and right now the National League Pennant odds, let's bring those up, okay. I'm taking the Washington Nationals. They are the at plus

one thousand. The Cardinals are ahead of them. Let's see, the Phillies are ahead of them, Rulers are ahead of them, Dodges are ahead of them, Cubs and Braves are ahead of him. I'm giving you the sixth choice, the Washington Nationals at plus a thousand. They have Scherzer, Straussburg, Corbin. Okay. I believe big seasons out of Trey Turner, big seasons out of the twenty year old kid Juan Soto to replace most of the power loss by Bryce Harper. Anthony

Ren don't have a big year. Adam Eaton to be healthy. Give me the Washington Nationals. As the sixth choice to win the NL Pennant in the AL Pennant. Listen, you know I gotta do it, but I will take a rematch of two years ago in the a L c s. I believe it will be the Houston Astros who are the favorite too. Oh, the co favorites to win the a L. They are co favorites with the New York m F Yankees, and I will take the New York mother f and Yankees. That's right, all m F rise baby,

call me a homer if you want. They are loaded, best bullpen in the game, best offense in the game in my opinion. If this, if their rotation can stay healthy, okay, if you can have by the end of the season in the summer Severino, Paxton and Tanaka, I think that's good enough. And you know the Yankees will make a trade to get an ace if they need one. I believe the New York Yankees will win the American League.

They are one of the favorites. And so now I've got the New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals in the World Series. You can take a guess. Well, I will pick all right, but maybe I should you know, uh, do a little reverse psychology and say that I believe the Washington Nationals will eat the New York Yankees series, but you know, I gotta have my New York Yankees. So there you have it. Those are my A L M v P S cy Young's from the National League as well my divisions and my lcs is um will

be Nationals over Phillies, Yankees over Astros. That's what you need to know, Danny. When we come back, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna put the fun and functional sports content. I got a couple of interesting NFL stories that I want to talk to us about. But first, Danny, did you see any of these bud Light and Miller Lte commercials? Brother men, I saw the middle Miller Lake comes.

So the Miller Lte one right there, omening like what looks like a dilly dilly bud Night ad, and then they're like cut and they show that all the actors themselves actually drink Miller Light, which I think is interesting, and they're but they're doing it by name, you know, they're calling they're trolling them specifically with the whole night theme, right, But then bud Light comes right back and They're like, so, Miller Lte, I see what you've done. It's almost like

they filmed this commercial right afterwards. Bro like, oh, so, Miller Light, I've seen that you've called us out because of the corn syrup or whatever. And he's like being like, Nah, I'm just the king of the place that doesn't brew with corn syrup. They're literally talking back and forth to each other. But I gotta tell you the truth, Danny, I think bud Light is losing its way with this whole four ingredients corn syrup stuff. People that drink bud Light,

it's not like it's high end craft beer. They don't care if it as preservatives or not. Danny, bud Light is not for the beer slob, So who are they f and marketing to Bro? They need to keep it with Dilly Dilley and shut up Doug and the fantasy pit of misery. Not this whole all we are we have pure ingredients and no corn syrup and preservatives. The people that drink bud Light are trying to do it by the picture, by the keg. They don't give a damn. I think you're losing in the audience. I think the

Dilly Dilley is what you need to bring back. We'll talk about it more. Danny will put the fun and functional sports content. Tell me if you agree. If Dilly Dilley is where bud Light needs to go, talk about it later. From the NFL to the NBA. Daily Rohodo dot Com is the place to win millions in daily fantasy.

Gave me back day fantasy free style right here, spitting statustician, big shout out. As I checked the chat room, my man Keenan and mel going with Dilley, Dilley greater than signed Preservatives. Yeah, I think

this bed Light campaign has lost its way. We're talking, we wanted, we want a little bit more of shut up Doug you know what I'm saying. I want the fantasy pit of misery a little bit more than worrying about preservatives in corn syrup. Quite frankly, if you're drinking bud light, you ain't caring about what you're putting in your body. If you want to know the gods on his truth, Okay, if you want to care about what you're putting your body, you'd be uh, you're doing something.

That's all I got to say. Um, big shout out to everybody trying to smash the like button. And then um, I got a new a new listener over here. We got a z bar fight Sah Kingdom Hearts too, Danny, you know about this Z bar fight Zora Kingdom Hearts to new person in the chat asked me to spit some bars. Check this out, y'all should know about this by now. Chronic Hill C H R O N I K I L L Chronicle. That's the group I used to be down with, all right, you can check us

out on YouTube on iTunes. You would hear something like a song called oh word. All right, Um, I'm not taking it back, I'm moving it forward, advancing the art. Make the crowd say oh word I stand out like who the f is that rhyman? And no snap? The life of the party is flat line and a downhill double black diamond, I double down the dealer dropped the diamond. Goddamn, that's timing. You can't teach to some levels you just

can't reach. And when you step to the mic, keep it brief because girls rock jewelry and full frontal nudity. I'm out to the jungle because that's where the Buddha b I'm smelling like a brewery since like ninety two or three, I write the eulogy. If anybody cool is me? Yeah, it speeds Keeno Matt Glorious, the rapper. Most Americans would want to drink a forty with. I'm New York like blind people on trains playing accordions. Hey, you gotta know

your audience. There it is your stats over beats cipher, little uh oh, word by chronicle making it pop off. That's right there for you, z bar fight, Sarah Kingdom hearts too. Thank you strong style. But let's get into it for the status over beats cipher. Um, here's what we gotta do, Danny, check this out. We're gonna give you a couple of stories about football players because you know we look, we love football, right, Danny, we love football, and we already tipped our cap to Gronk. Okay, as

a Jets fan, I'm I'm very happy about this. No more Gronk will take that. Um. I think he's going to w W E. So it is Clinton Trey hand. Uh, well, well we'll see raw happens to be from Boston tonight, so we'll see about that. But check this out. You know, Danny's to the off season, right, so people are training and sometimes you know how people discover like things like new diets or doing things like yoga in the off season to really make them better, both physically and mentally

and spiritually. Okay, cool, So Cam Newton is doing something. I remember Cam ended a season last year with a bum shoulder, had a had gonna have surgery. By the way, his bum shoulder helped lead me to a fantasy football championship. My opponent in the finals week sixteen had Cam Newton then, Uh, Tyler Heineke didn't do it for him. Uh. But Cam Newton is on a new outlook, Danny. He's got a new idea of how to um quote unquote make his mind stronger. He was on a late night TV talk show.

I believe it was the James Corby Show, maybe on CBS. Danny he was a guest and he described his um his uh new methods. I wanna I wanna play that and I want to see what you think. All right, Danny sounds right, let's hear it. So we got yeah, big enough February and then March. I'm giving uh, I hope this is an adult crowd. It looked like it is. No climax shot the front door straight up. No, No, I'm going through a transition right now, like oh mom,

I'm gone. They should at least done it in February. You got twenty eight days in February. True, I want I wanted to big challenging. You know, I'm coming off of of of shoulder surgery. I'm looking for I get a shoulder surgery. It's hard and all right, that's enough. So Danny, first of all, uh, uh jerrt who's in the chat room? No, I do not know the g train bandit. And if that's the same guy who likes spamped out the grandmother on the subway in New York

last week, Yo, that's not cool. I'm not with that. If I see Homeboy, I'm gonna let him know about it. But Danny, what do you think about this? Cam Newton is going settlement in March. He's going sober March. But it means something different for Cam. What do you think? I mean, more power to him if if he can like it. Sounds like he's got a theme every single month. It's true, right right, right right? So he was vegan in February and marches no no, no sex month. What

do you think about that? Danny? You think that that's good for athletes? I mean, I guess you're a five. You're you playing a band? Danny? What do you think? Do you like? Save yourself? We're during a big show. You could be all ready to go answers no when you do the opposite. No, I mean it's just like I don't want to throw myself off with anything. So I just normal routine. I got you, okay, fair enough? Oh, by the way, shout out to Perry ing. We're gonna be at this is this is gonna be the time

going forward. I apologize that the stats over beat Cipher. I know it's been a moving target since the super Bowl, and I apologize, but we're gonna be locked in here, back to our time seven o'clock, where it's gonna be every Monday. Once we head into football season, though, I'll have some news about you know, where the show is. But for now, this is where it's gonna be. Oh no, Grt no the Brooklyn Rapper. Uh no, okay, fine, No,

I do not know that, Jerrt. But Chronicle, we were doing a Bowery Poetry Club, we were doing cb GBS, we were doing South Paw and Brooklyn. We were doing M one five, We're doing the Pussycat Lounge. Uh. These are the spots that we were at. Um So, no charity. I'm sorry about Paca the g train banded. That was something different, clearly all right, but in any event, um um, I don't know. I think that's pretty weird though, Danny,

So you don't you don't save yourself huh yeah. I mean at this point, it's like I just want to keep everything normal, so like I wouldn't I would feel weird if I did something out of routine before a big show, all right, So I just want to pretend everything is normal. But what if it's Danny? What if it's normal for you to be, because I'm hearing these days there's this new thing, Danny, do you know about

this involuntary seliment? This thing it's basically all these it's all these uh, it's all these uh you know kind of doofy white guys who live in their mother's basement who can't get laid, and you know, think like all these movements are happening against them and that their world is shrinking, their influence is shrinking, and they can't get laid. So they call themselves in cells, which are involuntary celibans. Dead serious is a term. You're not seliban by choice.

It's involuntary, which basically means you can't get laid, and you're putting yourself out there being like I'm an in cell, which means I'm an involuntary celiban. So my question is, are you an in cell? Danny? If you were an involuntary celiban, then you're doing like the same old thing before a show. You know, it wouldn't be no thing. Are you an in cell? Danny? I think that's just giving yourself an excuse for not Oh no, I agree,

trust me, I agree. And these are the same you know these are the same people you know, trolling the world right there from there, you know, the from the cover of their Insta of their Instagram avatar, you know what I mean. Alright, so check this out also, um so that's Cam Newton right one. Uh, All quarterbacks Matter? I got another all kind of quarterbacks matter story for you. Dan. You remember Lamar Jackson from Baltimore Ravens. You know, rookie

quarterback took the lead by storm and all that. Okay, so brother man was caught. It's not even caught. He caught himself. Danny. This is like a second year. He's a rookie quarterback. You know, he's gonna become the starting quarterback, taking the job from Joe Flacco, face of the franchise. Right. So guess what he was doing, bro He was driving a hundred five miles an hour on the highway. Okay. And we've heard this before. By the way, I just

sounded like South Park. Okay, but Danny, we've seen this. Okay, guys three years old. He wants to drive fast on the highway. He's going one oh five. I it's speeds on the road. I have gone faster than one oh five, like on the major Deagan over here in New York City. But don't worry about that, mom, don't worry about um. But check this out. Danny Dude video taped it and posted it on his Instagram. How silly is that? Not only that you're doing that, but then you're gonna post it,

record it and let everybody see. You're supposed to be the new face of the franchise. Lamar, Slow down, bro, literally and figuratively. What do you think he's weirder? Danny Lamar Jackson as the new face of the franchise beating one oh five and then filming it and posting it to social media or cam giving up sex for a month to make his mind stronger, weirder? Or what do I think it's gonna work? And give me your take? Um, okay,

what training methodologies do you subscribe to? More? You know, saving it all up being an in cell right or letting it all go, letting the adrenaline and the testosterone flow by driving fast and posting it. I think posting it's where it's got me. That's the that's the like you're not ready to be the face of a franchise

yet you don't see Drew Brees doing this. We ate somewhere in the middle, we need we needed a combination of the two and maybe somewhere in the middle, honestly, to bring a full circle, Danny, maybe somewhere in the middle is Rob Gronkowski if you want to know the truth, right, because he shows up all the time when you need him,

but he still likes to do his thing. I think if he doesn't go to the w w E, what he should do is literally do a residency in Vegas, seriously, and I think that would work well for him as well. And the fact that he can do that is all you need to know about why he should not be in the NFL anymore. Uh. This week, everybody, Tomorrow, everybody. This was episode three of the Fantasy Freestyle with your boy,

Dame Martinezpe's has been statistician, stable genius in Vocal Minority. Tomorrow, Danny, we got the Century Club of popping off with the population. You gotta have a lot of special guests, very excited to see it. All right, everybody, If you guys are down with the status over beas Cipher, you should already be in the population. Check them out from Corey and the crew to Danny, who will be here a hundred episodes strong of popping off. Congratulations Danny, to the entire crew,

the entire population. I hope you have a great anniversary episode. I'm gonna be out thanks to everybody in this chat room. Thanks to everybody voting in the polls. I even dropped a verse for you guys. I'll see y'all next week. We'll be at the final floor.
