It's your point, Martinez, a k A. Sp K to Spitting Statistician a k a. The stable Genius and vocal minority, And welcome to another edition other Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network, episode three fifty nine. What up Lands Davis? What Up? Gregory Castillo? Dilly dilly to them, dilly dilly to everybody listening watching you know how we do what we do what we
need to win your leagues and win that cash. Although late with media, I've been told that maybe I'm not winning cash, maybe I'm just winning a Venmo you know what I'm saying, like someone sending me some Venmo money. Do you even actually feel the paper money exchange hands anymore? But I digress. We got a good show for you today.
As we finished the quote unquote best weekend and football, we'll take our step back, look at the takeaways, the trends, the analysis, and we will spin it forward to championship Sunday, last weekend with the best weekend in football. This Sunday, in my opinion, is the best day in football. You get both of the conference championship games. And because you know, the Super Bowl to me, is not really even a football game. It's like an event. It's like a parade.
It's like a national holiday, right when it cares more about the commercials and the coin flip and the color gatorade and the halftime show than the actual football that is involved. But hey, you know I love football. I digress. Here's what we're gonna do, all right, We're gonna get into the news and notes. I'm gonna give you what I got right, what I got wrong, my takeaways from
the divisional weekend. Right then, in our middle segment, we're gonna talk about decisions that are out there for a few teams or people or entities, most specifically the Philadelphia Eagles. They're hearing a lot about what they should do with their quarterback room going into next season. And also the Heisman Trophy winner, uh Kyler Murray. He's got some decisions to make, and we'll talk about both of those decisions.
Will lay him out. We'll let you know. I got a poll question up right now about the Eagles decision. What would you do? Would you ride with Carson Wentz and let Folds walk? Would you try to have both quarterbacks on your roster and pay for both quarterbacks on your roster? Would you actually keep Folds and look to shop Carson Wentz? Or would you do something else? Let me know what you think. We'll talk about that. We will um you know, well, well, well we'll check in
on that as we go through the show. And then, as always, we're gonna put the fun and functional sports content with my people, the stats overbeat Cipher what we are going to do is we're gonna update speeds versus the kids. And I got some controversy that I need the cipher to kind of rule on and decide on about what you pick one of these lovely three or four year old kids who I love. Um actually made in one of the games this week. But we'll recap all of that. Let's get it on and pop in,
all right. First thing that's interesting to me, um G. M Ryan Pace of the Chicago Bears, interestingly enough left the draw the door ajar to a guy like Kareem Hunt signing with them in the off season. Okay, Matt Nagy was the head coach of Chicago, was his coordinator over there in Kansas City for his rookie year, where by the way, he led the league in rushing UM. And so I think it's very interesting. You know, some
people are gonna leave that door open. I think there's only about a five or temp percent chance that he is in an NFL team or on an NFL roster next year. But you know, we talked about this. A lot with great talent comes a lot of slack, maybe to hang yourself with, but also you know, you get a little bit of um leeway, shall we say, even if it's on video, so very interesting to see what might happen. Um. Also we talked about the Kyler Murray situation. Okay,
he has declared for the NFL Draft. The question if, in case you don't know, this is a guy who was the first round pick of the Oakland A's in the Major League Baseball Draft. It was like seven or nine overall, got a four to a five million, four and a half million. I think it's like four point five five something like that million dollar bonus to play baseball. Then he goes to Oklahoma for a year and what do you know? He dominates, He wins the Highsman, he
gets the Sooners to the college football playoff. Now that some people being like, yo, you might have a future in the NFL. So I asked you guys, all right in the status over the beach cipher, Okay, what would you guys do? What would you guys do? Hopefully you smash that that like button? What up? Strong style? What up everybody out there? Mendel Bruce, big things? All right? UM, My question for you is, if you're Kyler Murray face
with beautiful options, what do you do? You go to spring training, you go to the draft combine, what do you do? Also, i'd love to know if you're the Philadelphia Eagles, what do you do whence the folds. That's what I'd love to talk about. Oh I like that Land Speeds versus the facial hair. Maybe the facial hair is winning. Maybe Speeds is winning. I'm gonna be on a beach sometimes soon in about three weeks. This joint coming off before that, but we'll talk about it. You know,
Speeds loves the kids strong style. We're gonna get into strong style. I'm gonna need you to help settle what one of the kids who I do love what they picked off one of these games last week. We got the audio. I'll let you know to yourself. All right, So that's Kyler Murray. We talked about the Eagles and Nick Foles and Carson Wentz. I told you about Kareem Hunt. Here's the other thing. Listen, This Antonio Brown talk is
starting to get a little bit much. Huh Art Mooney saying he doesn't believe he's gonna be on the team. A B has changed his Twitter profile and social media profiles. It doesn't say Stealer's wide receiver it now says all Pro NFL wide receiver. Right. So the other thing that's kind of like the cherry on top they did this with Khalil Mack at the beginning of the season, is there's odds now for where Antonio Brown will be playing next San Francisco for the nine is the favorites at
plus two hundred, then the Jets plus five hundred. In Oakland, Arizona, Pittsburgh, Miami, Dallas, and Indie. Those are the top seven or eight choices. I'm gonna tell you right now. Ain't gonna be Miami. Why would he want to go to a team that's just gonna have a new head coach, doesn't have a great quarterback, doesn't have the pieces on offense. It's not gonna be a team like that. It's not gonna be
a team like that. I don't think it's gonna be a team like Arizona either, young quarterback that's Bill developing new system. Yeah, Fitzgerald is gone. He sees himself. Why would Antonio Brown go to a team that's further away from a championship than the Steelers are? The same? Is what I said about Kareem Hunt. With great talent comes great leeway and leash. When you have great talent, you get to choose your destination. Why the hell would he pick a team that's less of a contender than the
Pittsburgh Steelers are. Why would he be like, you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna leave the Steelers and I'm gonna go play for the Dolphins. That makes no sense. Okay, I don't think this. I don't think Oaklands would fit. I don't think Arizona is a fit. I don't think Miami's a fit because of that. Dallas, that's interesting. You pair him on one side with Marii Cooper. They've got that defense developing. Now you got an offense to go with it. That's interesting to me. But ultimately I don't
think that's gonna happen. Indianapolis very interesting to me. Remember I've talked about like Levan Bell potentially there. I think India is very intriguing. You put t Y Hilton in Antonio Brown together. I like that as an option. Okay, the Jets are the second choice right now. At plus five hundred, stats will be easidher. You know this. You know I'm a Jets fan. It ain't happening guys, Antonio Brown is not the piece on top, the cherry on top. There.
The Jets are a long way away. Okay, That leaves San Francisco, which I think is viable. I also think that if Pittsburgh would ever do some kind of deal, they would try to trade them out of the conference, you know what I mean, so they don't have to see them twice a year or once a year. But I'll tell you right now, with these odds, you know where I'd bet. I'd bet the mother fin Pittsburgh Steelers are where Antonio Brown is. This is still fresh, the
hurt is still fresh, the wounds are still there. People still feel some kind of way. In a month, in two months, in three months, you know, right around March nine, when these things need to happen in the new league year, I bet cooler heads will prevail. I still believe that A b will be a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. But I digress. Let's get into what I got right,
what I got wrong going into this week. B DM says my mom could play for the Jets, that he better do major league baseball because one season of not hitting a baseball and his career is over. Interesting he can always go back to football. I think that's interesting. We'll talk about that strong style. I do like the Niners as a potential. I think he's going right back to Pittsburgh, though. Lev Bell is interesting. Could he be in Chicago interesting. That's why they're thinking about Kareem Hunt
as well. They may be in the market for a running back. I think when it comes to Levy on Bell, we're talking about some of the similar teams, the Houston Texans, the Indianapolis Colts, the San Francisco forty Niners, the Green Bay Packers, those sorts of things. We'll see about that all right over the weekend. Here's my biggest takeaway. Though we talked about all the high flying offenses, video game offenses, so forty point to game, all that stuff. Well, guess
what balance ruled the day last weekend. Kansas City who advanced? They ran thirty three times for a hundred and eighty yards and four touchdowns on the ground. The Ams you saw this with C. J. Anderson for God's six they ran forty eight times, two hundred seventy three yards and three touchdowns on the ground. New England ran thirty five times and by the way, stats over beat Cipher. How about my guy the stereotype, Sony Michelle. If you had him in DFS lineups, you hit a little bit of
guiche with his three touchdowns. I've been telling you that the way they want, the Patriots want to play is using the stereotype being able to run the ball, and boy did that work in the cold in the playoffs. And when it's time to punch somebody in the mouth, they're gonna do it again. The stereotype very important for the New England Patriots. They went thirty five carries, a hundred fifty five yards and four touchdowns. That's my big takeaway.
We talked about all this sexy offense and then all of a sudden, it's the run games and balance that rules the day. I found that very, very interesting. In the Casey Indianapolis game listen, I was talking about quarterbacks with their first playoff appearance. That happened to Watson, it happened at Lamar, it happened at Trabiski. Hey, Mahomes was fine. He was the real deal who went just seventy yards in the rushing touchdown. I talked about Marlon Mack behind
that offensive line and the Kansas City run defense. I got that wrong, alright. He only went nine carries forty six yards. However, they they got pushed out of their game flow, right. The Chiefs were a big early. They didn't know what to do. I'll tell you what it is a big takeaway for me coming into this after this. Now, do the Kansas City Chiefs need to lead running back or not? Or do they think Damian Williams is that dude? Damian Williams carries a hundred twenty nine yards one tud
five catches. The man touched the ball thirty times, all right, So could he actually be the lead back? Or would Kansas City be in the market for a guy like mark Ingram, a guy like j G. I e. It's a partner with a guy like Damian Williams. When I looked the Rams and the Cowboys, I was telling you guys about how style made fight and how I thought it was gonna be the cowboys who wanted to run the ball time of possession, punch somebody in the mouth. Well,
in fact it was the other side. I was like, well, girly b a workhorse or not. That was my big narrative. I told you guys, that c J. Anderson had earned carries. I told you I was off Girley for DFS because I thought they were gonna mix in c J. Anderson. But I had no idea they were gonna mix him in like this. I mean, listen, you know it was
it was c J. Anderson who went crazy. The question is, after his twenty three carries, a hundred twenty three yards and two touchdowns, what will his fan duel and DraftKings price be this week? And in fact, Mike Todd Gurley representative value because they think it's not like this anymore. It's a little like this. But then all of a sudden, the Rams who go into play the Saints, and by the way Sheldon rankles, they're right there. Run stuffer in
the middle, Toris Achilles, I think he'll be gone. Could that paved the way for more c J. Anderson? For more Todd Gurley? I think that's very, very interesting. When I look at the Chargers and the Patriots game. Guys, I told you, I told you how much I love the Chargers, how much I've loved them all season, and I did you guys know this real deal stats over beat Cipher fan see freestyle folks, y'all know what it is. That's right, strong style, the stereotype. Absolutely, that's what I'm
talking about. Hey. By the way, Gregory Castillo, I like that that kid Jacobs from Alabama. Alabama is gonna have multiple guys. We know about Damian Harris, but they got a big dude, a bruiser, this guy Jacobs, more in the Brandon Jacob's kind of mold. That dude I think is gonna be a beast at the next level. I agree with you, Gregory Castillo. I like that kid Jacobs out of Alabama. I hear you that kids snell at a Kentucky Snell. Yeah you see his chest hat. I
like him too. They'll be options out there. Um, when I go to Chargers Patriots, as I mentioned, I love the Chargers all season long. I'll know about this. I said, they were a complete team. They just got boat raced, you know, and they were down fourteen nothing. They couldn't stay in their game flow. They couldn't stay in their game plan. And here's the thing. I told you how
much I love the Charges all season long. But if you were here with me on Thursday, I literally that's when I were almost vomiting in my mouth because Jim Ross and his daughter Candice, who by the way, it was amazing, only went two and two, but amazing. Um, I I ultimately picked the Patriots, right, I went three in one last week. Um the Colts was the only game that I got wrong. We'll check in on speeds versus the kids after that after, you know, later on
in the show. But I think, honestly, what I saw was this run game, sony Michelle James White with fifteen catches for nineties seven yards. And let me tell you something else that might repeat itself. James White is going to be that option out of the backfield again. Right, They're gonna have that secondary trying to worry about Edelman,
And boy was Edelman such a beast. Edelman nine catches a hundred and fifty one yards only last week, outdone by Michael Thomas in that other game on the last game of the weekend, Michael Thomas calls twelve catches, one seventy one and a tudd. Let me tell you about that game. I told you about Ted gin Jr. As a sneaky number two. I was close. I won't say that I got it right because he only went three
forty four. But I didn't get it wrong either, because he got seven targets and they tried to help me out the very first player of the game when Breeze got picked, it was they were taking a shot with Ted Ginn. That's how they wanted to do things. And I think listen next week, now the Saints are in the rams. Remember that Marcus Peters talking all that smack because Sean Payton was like, how much they like that matchup? Keep to Leave is gonna be on Michael Thomas. I
believe it, keep to Leave is gonna shadow him. So Marcus Peters, this guy who's talking smack at Sean Payton likes to match up. I think he's gonna be on Ted Ginn. So I will go back to the Ted Ginn JR. Well again, I'll give you out my DFS lineup or Nuggets for it on my Thursday show. Right, But I think ted Ginn is a good call, and Fan Duel agrees with me. He is now the second most expensive wide receiver on the New Orleans Saints. So whatever I was saying, the algorithm over there caught up
to it as well. I also was talking about Darren Sprowls. I was a little off on that one, guys, I gotta admit I was off on that one. You only had three carries. He did catch three balls for twenty one yards, But you're looking more. You're looking for more than like six points in PPR out of him. So I was off a little bit on that. I was all over Michael Thomas. I believe Michael Thomas is now. I believe he's the top three wide receiver that gets
picked next year. For me, the difference between these elite wide receivers are which ones to them are like complete target monsters. And to me, it's Michael Thomas because the number two is a big gap. It's DeAndre Hopkins because the number two is a big gap. And it's Davante Adams because the number two is a big gap. Those
targets make me like them better than Tyree Hill. Because there's other Chiefs better than Julio Jones, because there's other Falcons that are involved better than Antonio Brown, m Juju Smith, Schuster or whatever team he's on, you know. So those are the guys that I think about. But um, the magic did end. I thought the magic would end for Nick Foles and it did. Here's what we're gonna do when we come back. We're gonna talk about As you know, I'm a Jets fan, and there was a lot of
stuff going on in Florham Park. I guess yesterday when the new Jets head coach was unveiled. Yes, I know about it. Yes, I know all the memes and stuff. We'll talk about it on the other side of the break, and then we'll talk about what I would do with these decisions, what the Eagles need to do with folks and Wentz, what Kyler Murray needs to do as well. We'll take your questions as well if they come. The number to call is three four seven seven six seven
six six one four. It's your boy spitting statistician here on the Fantasy Freestyle with stats over beat Cipher.

What is going through that man's mind? That's we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I hope you guys are seeing that Lance Davis knows what
I'm talking about. Yo. I don't know, man, I don't know what he looks like. But here's the funny part. Okay, we're gonna get into this for a hot second. Okay. Um, And by the way, if you want to talk about this with me, because you know I'm a Jets fan, If you want to talk about this with me, the number to call this three four seven six excuse me, three four seven seven six seven six six one four Again, the number to call this three four seven seven six seven six six one four. As we spend some time
having fun with Adam Gaze. I mean, yo, Lance Davis, I don't even know. I don't know if it was acid. Here's what I'll say. Here's what I'll say, status of Meats Cipher. Remember this? Do you remember strong style? You're right? It is the Do you remember last year there was a Miami Dolphins coach that got fired mid season. Do y'all remember what that was for? Do y'all remember the Miami Dolphins coach where some like Instagram model blew up his spot and put up a video of a Miami
Dolphins who was working for Adam Gays. Do you remember this? It was a video of whom chopping up lines in the team facility. Okay, and I'm telling you right now, I think Gays was yipped up. I really do. I think Gays was yipped up. I don't know. I don't know what he was doing, but it was wild. Okay. So now I ask you if you're Leonard Williams, if you're Quincy and Noon Noir, if you're you know, black A. Powell, because you can't you're right. You know you're right, man?
Though he got something good. Yeah, I'm in love with the cock um. If you are one of these Jets players, because you can't meet him. You know, there's rules with the collective bargaining agreement he can't talk to his players until like May. So this is all you see of your new head coach. Honestly, if you're blah pal and you're like that dude is my new boss, and he's like in love with the cockle, like there's a problem here, Like and bro, he was storry eyed. It was a lot.
I would love to hear what you guys gotta say about what you saw with Adam Gays. I'm a Jets fan, Okay. I was talking to some of my contacts down in Miami. They say he alienated the media. They said he couldn't get along with players. They say he got into a screaming match with owners Stephen Ross. How do you do that? You're right strong style is in love with the go go Yeah. Man. By the way, I got my man, uh danielto down there, we might need to clip that.
We might need to clip me being like in love with the coco as a drop for any time moving forward. I mentioned Adam Gaze because now I really want you know he was going in and uh, I'm a little concerned. I gotta tell you the truth. The reports I heard were that he's not the easiest to get along with that, he's like so smart, he doesn't he's almost a little like, um, so socially awkward, and he's a crackhead apparently, Like what
do we do with this? You know? And then what they're gonna bring in Greg Williams as the defensive coordinator. That dude is putting bounties on people's head. You know, you saw him in Hard Knocks. He's a colorful character as well. So you're gonna have a crackhead and a and a and a big personality. Oh boy, could they make a reality series out of one Florum Drive, you know and the Jets? And yes, you're right, Gregory, And he's still got a job at do that, you know?
I mean, okay, Lands, you're yeah, you want to respect him. Um the one season where his quarterback was healthy the entire year they went ten and six, right, they were he was trying to do a culture change, right J G. I E. And Dominican sue all right, But I'm just worried what happens when you take that act to the
bright lights in the big city. Example Ben McAdoo, you know, look starry eyed in his press conference, didn't know if he was ready, then started to like pound his chest, you know, and try and be the guy plant the flag of accountability and it blew up in his face, you know, So I would want, you know, yes, Lands, bringing in all the coaching intangibles. You're absolutely right, they
need to holler at the spitting statistician. Then I could be a dynamic personality on the sidelines over there at MetLife, Like I could do it and I wouldn't even need the call go for it, you know what I'm saying. You guys see me all the time here, Stats over beat cipher. You're absolutely right, strong style it is one hell of a drug. But in any event, I digress, people. I love what you guys are saying here. Um no, No, lance Ben didn't have McAdoo, didn't have the cocoa eyes,
you know. But what he did do was try to like Napoleon complex a little and like try to like throw his weight around with the players, you know what I mean talking about how you know, with like Eli Apple and Eli Manning to be quite honest, you know, And I don't know that that worked for him in New York. And I'm worried if gays were to try to take the same approach here in New York. But listen, he needs a good dealer first, because you know he
was already using that Miami White. So hey, that's besides the point. Oh, you're right, strong style. I'll try to remember the damnit doll. You're right, you're right. I'll bring that. You're right, I should bring that, and damn it then like maybe I should load him up with some powder. You know what I'm saying. Well, well, we'll see. But in any event, here's what I'm thinking. You know, we gotta pull question up. I've told you what would we do with the uh with Carson Wentz and Nick Foles.
Let me tell you something right now, of you saying ride with Wentz and let Folds gocent of you are saying keep foals and shop Wentz, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard to those All right, I gotta tell you something. The fan bases into it, right, like all fools, magic and all this stuff. I was talking with Venmo Brian are interns down there in the pit of misery before? And he was like, listen, as a Cowboys fan, I thought the Eagles were more dangerous when
Folds was there. Listen, that's nice to say in all, but come on, alright, Nick Foles is last year NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl where his two best games of his career. His p f F F grade was something like ninety three point five and ninety ridiculous outliers for his career. Okay. Also, Carson Wentz is on his rookie contracts. Still he is a cheap option for the next two years maybe three, right, So he's cheaper than Folds is gonna be. He's younger than Folds is gonna be.
And I'm gonna tell you this, he's better than Folds. Guys. Okay, I understand the fact that he's injury I don't want to say he's injury prone, but there's an injury concern. I understand that. And that's what you're thinking. Oh snap, I'd rather have you know, I guaranteed Nick Foles than go with you know, Carson went and then all of a sudden, I get five games out of again because he, like you know, breaks the collar bone or tears an
achilles or whatever it is. I understand that. But any player can get hurt in the NFL on any given play. I don't care if you're Eli Manning or if you're Sam Bradford, for God's sakes, Okay, you can get hurt. So I don't think this injury prone label is something that should really go into the calculus. Okay. And honestly, Nick Foles is not consistently good. He's been hot a
couple of times. That's like you've seen three weeks of Ryan Fitzpatrick at the beginning of the season and being like, oh, let me sign him, let me sign him to a four year deal to be my quarterback. That's not what's happening. Okay, listen, you squeeze the juice out of the orange. You got the run that you got. You thank him for his service. He never pays for another Ell in the city of Philadelphia again, and you let and walk away. You do not give up on your number two overall pick that
you made just two or three years ago. Who, by the way, last year, the year you won the Super Bowl for the first whatever it was, ten eleven, twelve games, whatever it was, he was one of the top three m VP candidates. He has it in them, just hasn't been healthy, all right, So the Eagles can't absolutely like kind of latch onto this and go crazy when it comes to um, when it comes to Nick lands, Davis is saying, keep both. I don't know that you can. You know, that's what it comes down to. I don't
think that that's a financially sustainable possibility. Right, Try to roster Wolf both. They won't be able to. You know, they have to pay Carson Wentz. It's a mutual option. And for them to uh for fools, they have to commit to Folds at twenty million dollars want to be on this team, this roster. They're not gonna give him twenty million dollars to be a glorified back up. It's just not gonna happen. That's just smart. That's not smart, you know, fiscal management for their team, They're just not
gonna do it. If you say they're gonna do that and then shop Wentz, then I'm gonna tell you you're an idiot, and I got a bridge I can sell you. You know what I mean. Age money and the fact that Nick Foles is just not consistent. He's had now a run at half. You know, he's had something like
seven good games in his career. Right, remember what happened when he was with the Rams and Jeff Fisher frazy forget about you can't like maybe you can say, oh, he's a scheme fit or something like that, but listen, you're gonna take your younger, more cost effective option. We got Clayton Trey Hand in the poll right now saying tag and trade. That could be interesting, that could be something they do. But at the same time, that's them
not actually keeping both of them. That's them trying to get something out of folds instead of him just walking away for nothing. Right. I accept that that could be something they do, but that's gonna be to try to use it as an asset that they can leverage for something else, a third round draft pick or something like that,
whatever the case may be. Right, So, the fact that they will not both be on the roster big shout out to everybody that's out there right now in the YouTube chat, people like snorkel Ops, people like Strong Style, Lands Davis, Gregory Castillo, and the crew. Remember what Lance Davis says smashed that like button, I got thirteen people right now, yo, like my issue. You're right, um, it
is time to cash in the full stock. But the thing is, in order for them to do that, they would have to tag him, sign him, and then trade him, Okay, and that might be pretty complicated. They're just gonna unfortunately, I think they're just gonna let him go, all right. Um, if they can work a sign and trade that sort of thing, that would be nice. A tag and trade, Okay, but that's easier said than done. Folds needs a whole season,
says Strong Style. Folds has had entire seasons with the Rams under Chip Kelly and the Eagles now granted on the Chip Kelly, you know, he had twenty seven touchdowns and only two interceptions. So maybe I don't know. Like, if you're a Giants fan out there, you can hear me in the sound of my voice. If you're a Giants fan, do you want them to say signed Nick Foles in the off season? If you're Washington, you want to go after Nick Foles? If you're the Jaguars, do
you want to go after Nick Foles? Or do you want to go through the draft or a guy like Teddy Bridgewater to Rod or Flacco. Is Folds really at the top of your list, I'm not so sure. Okay, I'm wondering. I don't know that Folds is the guy you're gonna want to commit to the Eagles need to commit to Carson Wentz. And in fact, earlier today, head coach Doug Peterson has said that Carson Wentz is quote unquote the quarterback going forward. Right, So it's nice to
think about, but it ain't gonna happen. Let's go to the other question out there, because I think that's honestly, I think that's a bigger issue. And the question is, um, if you're Kyler Murray, you have a four and a half million dollar signing bonus with the A's and you've been drafted there, and you know, spring training pitchers and catchers report and what like twenty eight days or something like that. But then you got the draft combine, you've declared for the draft. What do you want to do?
You want to play football or you want to play baseball. Now I understand he said that football is his first love, right, and that means something. But baseball you're still gonna get that competitive juices flowing and all that good stuff. You can beating for a championship, the camaraderie of the locker room. You know, you're still an elite professional athlete. And don't tell me like he's gonna try Bo Jackson, Dion Sanders,
Brian Jordan's. Those guys were not quarterbacks. Okay, yeah, maybe you can do it as a corner back, maybe a running back, not as a quarterback. When you have to process the game plan and study and all that stuff to such a higher degree, you can't gallivanting off playing some baseball. Okay, it's not gonna happen. He ain't gonna be able to do both. He's gonna have to choose. Now, he's already guy like seven million dollars for baseball. Will he make a ton more? Not? If he stays in
the minor leagues. It's very hard to get the crazy Machado, Bryce Harper, Alex Rodriguez, you know, kind of contract that people are looking for. That may not happen. But he's still got like five or six or seven million dollars. Right, let's look at his path in the NFL. He might get drafted. Uh, scout is saying he's not a first round pick. Some Scotch was saying he's maybe a day to kind of pick. So if you have to prove himself,
he's five eight, guys, he's not even five nine. You really want to take your shot on a five eight quarterback. You know, like people are saying right now in the chat room, Lance Davis is saying, Flacco folds or draft Haskins. What if Kyler Murray was in that mix as well? You're taking Murray. I don't think that's the way he should go. And here is the thing that also doesn't even talk about or consider the damn brain damage that
he's gonna get playing in the NFL. Why in the hell would you take like a risk because you're not necessarily a top flight draft prospect, right, take the risk of maybe getting a shot at more money, but losing your brain cells while you can go play minor and then hopefully major league baseball, still get generational wealth from your for your family, Still get over a tens millions of dollars in your career, and then be able to form a coherent sentence when you're fifty fifty five years old,
to enjoy your family and the generational wealth that you have provided for it. Take baseball, dude. In the NFL, no one's gonna know who you are. You're gonna be a backup ord, third string quarterback. If you ever make it, then you're gonna have to wait until you have second deal, your second bite at the aft bow, after being pummeled for three or four or five years, why not just play baseball? Bro speeds and spitting statistician thinks you need
to go baseball. All right, you're right, Lance Davis. He can get that up front in the MLB. Gregory Castillo is playing, you know, is saying, uh, let's see, Oh it is Drew Lock going to be a pro solid prospect. Listen the way I think it goes. I think it's Haskins, and then there's a tier, and I think Lock the kid Jones from Duke, maybe Greer from West Virginia, maybe Murria or in that tier there's a kid uh Browning in Washington and some others. But these are gonna be second,
third round kind of guys. I think Haskins is the only one, uh who's really got a legit first ground grade. I love what Lance Davis is saying, and I think that's what's actually happening. What Lance Davis is saying in the chat. And thanks to the fifteen, people were now up from like eleven and fifteen. Lance Davis is saying, Kylo Murray is leveraging the a's and bean and that and Billy by being he means Billy Bean. That's what I think is happening. Scott Boris ain't no fool, right,
and he knows now he has something he can leverage. Hey, he'll just go on over here and play football. Someone in the chat room Castillo mentioned John Elway did the same kind of thing, was drafted by the Yankees, right, and was like, you know what I'll need to do you Uh, I'll just go play baseball, right, And so he was able to kind of force his hand because he had other options. Kyler Murray has the same ability. Right,
he can go ahead and play this out. You can report the spring training, he can go to the combine, he can even go to the draft and he can see what happens, and he he has this out. The only thing that I'm not sure about Lance Davis and the others in the chat room is I think some of his guarantees and some of those contracts and some of those bonuses are incentives are specifically to not play football.
So he's got to kind of declare. I think when he got drafted he was allowed to have like, oh, we'll let you play the one year in Oklahoma, like for fun to be a college kid. But I think in his a's MLB contract is that he's going to exclusively play baseball. I think that's something the A's wanted in that contract. So now he can only play this out for so long. He can only leverage, you know, one against the other for so long. He's gonna have
to declare I agree with you Lance. You know, Russell Wilson, Baker, Mayfield, those guys are able to do it. This guy is shorter than them. He's like five eight, and he's got another option. When we come back, is what we're gonna do. We're gonna settle the controversy of speeds versus the kids. We're gonna talk to my man, venmo brien about what
he would eat if he visited the White House. Come on back, It's fantasy Freestyle on the statu over beat Cipher, two boys, speeds to spend Statistician Dilly Dilly, guys, come on back to the you that.

You know what it is with speeds of spitting statistician, the stable genius and the vocal minority. Dilly dilly to y'all, Dilly dilly to the people outside of
Studio thirty four. They're watching the spitting statistician do his work, and so we say dilly dilly to y'all as well. Dilley, Dilley. There's people taking pictures of me. Guys, what are we gonna do? But here's a thing. Shout out to people in the chat room talking about you know, it is the sign the safer financial route to go baseball. I thoroughly agree. And then Lance, you talk about the longevity
of their career, right, That's exactly what I said. I said, you want to be able to not only make moneys, you want to be able to enjoy that money with your family, you know, when the time comes right. And that's what I think. It's very very important. We got that pole question up. Also, I'm asking you what you think the Eagles need to do right now? You say, ride with Carson Wentz, let Folds walk, say try to roster both quarterbacks, although I think that is financially untenable.
If you want to know the truth, you were saying, keep Nick Foles and shop Carson Wentz, which is not what I would do, but what I understand some people think. And then this you know the thing for other Let's say, all right, um, do I have my people's Venmo Brien and Danny Otto? Do I have you guys down there in the fantasy pit of misery? Dilly, Dilly, what's up now? Danny? You've heard this audio already, right, so, uh, you may be biased, but Venmo Brien, Um, you know how we
do it with speeds versus the kids. The kids are making their picks, you know, and uh, we played some picks who were very helpful in playing the picks. On Thursday. I got another set of picks in right after we did the show on Thursday, and I told my boy, like the pixel count, but I couldn't air them. I already had the show, right. And so here's the thing. This is a young girl, she's like three years old, maybe four. Her name is Zoe. She was one of the kids. She was one of the kids that made
picks last year Venmobrian. Okay, And here's the thing. Last year she always picked the Eagles. She always picked the Eagles, and as you know, last year, the Eagles kept winning. So it became a thing that Zoe her name is Zoe, that she became like an Eagles fan. And so like we were joking about it. I was joking about it with her parents all you know, summer long and stuff. Oh Zoe, you know, she's riding with the Eagles. Blah blah blah. Her dad one of my boys, Charlie Sife,
gotta love him, one of my peoples. He was in the rap group with me back in the day Chronicle. Check it out. Um, he's a big Saints fan. He went to Tulane College. For goodness sake, he's a Saints fan. We've done shows in New Orleans, all that good stuff. Right, So the thing was like, oh, snap, who Zoe gonna pick? Who is Zoe going to pick? The Eagles or the Saints? Now, venm O'Brien, what I want you to do is I want you to listen to this video and I want
you I want the status over beat cipher. I want you to tell me exactly strong style I want to say. I want to see who does Zoe authentically pick. Let's play this audio all right, Joe. Here we are divisional round playoffs. Time for you to make your picks. She's ready, she's ready. I'm not gonna tell you who to pick. I'm not cheating Dane right off the Are you sure you want to say that? Daddy will be very sad if it's says Daddy will be very sad if you
pick the Eagles? Okay, Okay, the pick has been changed. Can we run that back a little bit? I was talking over can we run that back? Like twenty seconds? She picks Eagles completely on her own without even knowing the matchup, says Eagles, and then he's like, oh, Daddy will be upset at you. Let's play that again. Divisional round playoff time for you to make your picks. Well, I have to tell you who to pick. Well, I'm not gonna tell you who to pick. I'm not cheating day. Okay, wow,
Eagles before I even said it. You heard it here? You sure you want to say that daddy will be very sad if it's the Eagles. Okay, Eagles are Saints. You can't say daddy will be very sad if it's the Saints. You know what I'm saying. All right, So let's cut this. I got you, guys, Lens David strong Style, he's saying it's collusions, collusion. What do you want you want me to do? Shut down the government over this? What do we think? Um? Oh wait, that don't count.
Strong Style knows we're hearing it now. Okay, so venm O'Brien, Danny Otto, what do we do? It's always pick very suspect. It was very spect you know the stats over beat Cipher. You're right, he pulled the Daddy will be upset. I have to tell you who to pick. You're absolutely right, strong style, Lanz Davis. What do we do here, guys? What do you think? Venmo O'Brien, what do we do? Pick the Eagle? She picked the Eagles. What do you think, Danny? You think she picked the Eagles? I think she picked
the Eagles too, right. I think she picked the Eagles. And unfortunately, because the rest of her picks I have the audio, we don't have to play them. The rest of her audio was the Cults, the Cowboys, and the Patriots. That means she went one in three this week. She did go three in one last week. Stats over beat Cipher. I feel comfortable about this. I wanted you all to validate this for me. So we picked the Eagles, right, I mean, come on, guys, I've been saying I want
this authentic. He caught himself. You're right, he did. But Zoe picked the damn Eagles. That's what we're going with, Danny Otto, how do you feel about that? We're gonna give the Zoe the Eagles for this one? I felt so she definitely wants the Eagles, which is just apparently her dad. Her dad is like, you're gonna make me upset.
Blah blah blah, you can still be my daughter. He's clearly manipulating the witness, right, yeah, definitely, all right, So I'm giving Zoe the Eagles as her pick, which she then got wrong. Okay, so here are the standings so far, Danny Jim Ross. Big shout out to Jim Ross, stats over beat Cipher, represent your lovely daughter. Candice came on, made her picks right. She went two and two. She went Cowboys, Coults, Patriots, and Saints. So she wins on
the Sunday game, she loses on the Saturday game. She's two and two right now to recap, big shout out, Stats over Beat Cipher. Derrick Davis. He had his three year old son involved. He also went two and two. He picked the Chiefs, the Rams, the Chargers, and the Eagles. So interestingly enough, j Jim Rosses girl got the Sunday games right, the Saturday games wrong. Derek Son got the Saturday games right, the Sunday games wrong. They are both two and two. My girl, Audrey, My go Audrey. She
went two and two. She picked the Colts, the Rams, the Pats, and the Eagles. I think she's the one who said She liked the Eagles because they represent America and she likes America. Something like that. She went two and two. So far, all the kids are five hundred. Dylan. However, Dylan, this is one of my nephews. I call him Tito Um. He went three and one. He picked the Chiefs, Rams, the Pats, and the Eagles. The Eagles tripped a lot of people up, including Zoe goddamnit um. So Dylan is
three in one right now. So Dylan is legit. Michaela, my young unicorn in training. Michaela out there on the West coast. You saw me doing a video with her for the wild card weekend. She went two and two. Wild Card weekend, she went two into this weekend. She lost with the Colts and the Chargers. He won with the Rams and the Saints. Michaela is now four and four on the playoffs. Zoey, we have already covered. She's
four and four. That's what we're riding. When she went three in one last week wild cards, she went one in three in Division or weekend. So she's four and four. Danny Otto, my friend, how does it feel that you know Michaela has won four games. Dylan has three a lot of the kids have to will give Zoe four and four? How does it feel to have five wins after two weeks of the playoffs? You are five and three, my friend. This week I had you having the Colts,
the Rams, the Chargers in the Saints. So you went two and two this week, three and one over wild card weekend. That puts you at five and three, right, Danny, it does. How do you feel you are slightly better? Or is that why you think Zoe picked the Eagles because you know that you can get a game lead on her. But if we gave her the Saints, you
guys would be tied. Well, that's why before this show, I was saying, I don't know if I it weigh in on this because it was a controversial pick on my on my part too, that's true, but I mean it was decided by majority. It wasn't just just me who made the decision. Oh wait a second, Mendel Bruce. I like what you're saying, Mendel. Let's let's see about this. Hey, Danny, what do you think about this? Mendel Bruce. Big shout out to Mendel Bruce. I hope you're doing well out
there and CALLI brother man. You know I'm always thinking of you. Um, Mendel Bruce is saying Zoe shouldn't go too into this week that pick. We should just take it out of it and she should be one and two for the weekend and just make that like an abstain kind of thing, like she didn't pick anything. What do you think about that? Which would make Zoe four and three? What do we think? I mean that like a no vote, that like an abstention kind of thing.
What do you think about that one? I'm okay with that because this impacts her winning percentage, right at least her winning percentage is a little bit better if we call her four and three with the asterisk. What do you think about that one? I'm okay with that. I like that. Mendel Bruce hit me up on the cipher. Guys in the chat room, how do you think? How do you agree with that? What do you think? Do you think Zoe should be? Uh one and two? What do you think? I'm okay with that? I don't. I
don't really I don't have any arguments against all. Right, So that's what we'll do. We'll split the difference. We'll call Zoe four and three. You're five and three, michaelis four and for Dylan is three and one. However, this is Speeds versus the kids, right, we just talked about all the kids speeds. However, if you remember my picks from last week, I gave you the Colts, which was a loss. I gave you the Rams win. I gave you the Saints win, and I told you how much
I love the Chargers. But ultimately I said I have to pick the Patriots. So I went three and one. This week, I went three and one Wild Card week. Your boys Speeds is six and two on the playoffs. These kids there are two games back me. Danny Speeds versus the kids, Speeds is in the lead. How does it feel. Don't let it go to your head. No, no, no, don't worry about it. I won't let it go to my head. The fact that I can outpick, you know, seven year olds when it comes to the NFL playoffs.
I won't let that get to my head, I promise. But let's just don't get cocky. Okay, So listen is what I'm gonna say to everybody. Did Jim Ross to anybody in the sound of my voice right now? Watching on YouTube. First of all, thank you for doing so. UM send me videos, man, just like Derrick Davis did last week. Just like um, just like Jim Ross did last week. If you have a kid that wants to pick these championship games against me, we I'll track him.
I'll check, I'll check the record. Yeah, Lance, listen, I just love the kids, bro, the kids. If if if one of the kids is eight, no right now, and one of the kids would be ain't no right now? Listen. I'm I'm just trying to pick the games and see if everybody can do it. So far, this is the third year in a row we've done this. Nobody has beaten Speeds just yet. Um, that's right, Lands. You know, gotta learn how it feels, how it feels to not always be the best, you know what I mean. I
I get that feeling. I didn't win every league I was in this year. You know, you gotta deal. You gotta eat some humble pie. But to this point, if you got entries, if your kids want to get down, if you spend it to me before we air on Thursday, you can hit me up on Twitter at spitting Speeds right, send me a video. Will do our best to get your kids some shine, some airtime, some love. With the
stats overbeat Cipher right here, you know, against speeds. But here's now the other question I have for you, Danny, venm O'Brien, I need a ruling on this. My man, Tito, Dylan he's three and one, legit three and one, right, I'm six and two. So my question for you guys, is is the is Tito? It's Dylan's three and one better than your five and three Danny, You know what I mean, Like percentage wise, he's he's that's better than
the clip you're picking at. But you picked more a game, so more chances to lose, you know what I mean? Like imagine like if one kid just picks just the Super Bowl and gets it right and is one and oh, are they really better than someone who picked all the games, all eleven games and went like seven and four. That's tough. So my question for you, venmobrien, My question for you Danny Otto, So are we doing this on like number of correct picks? Are we doing it on win percentage?
What do you think we should do here? Because I don't want anybody complaining and calling foul later on when for the third year in a row speeds beats the kids. So let's clarify here, Danny venmobrien, what should we do here? Winning percentage, number of correct picks? How should we do it? I don't know. It's tough because we we do have a mismatch in in the amount of picks and stuff like that. So it's it is hard. You really can't do win percentage, almost like we have to do a
combination of both. Look look at both as aspects because in the grand scheme of things, one in three the winning percentages more impressive, I guess gas, but it's a limited sample size, you know what I mean. A strong style, by the way it says it needs to be Danny Otto versus the kids. When you think about that, I like that. Jimmy McMahon, big shout out to you, spark that ish. Maybe you know what it is? Um, you know,
dilly dilly, make it pop, make it happen as always. Yeah, y'all doing crazy things with your emojis in the chat room. I don't know what that is, lens, What is like that? Second? What's that third damn emoji you put out there? That's wild? Um? So, Danny, I don't know we're gonna put your winning percentage up against Dylan or what? I think there needs to be a combination, like if we if we're gonna use Asterix for everything, and maybe maybe it's another Asterix or something
or something like that. All right, Venmo Brian, what do you think about this number of correct picks or winning percentage? How should we do it? Because a lot of kids that are getting in, like Jim Ross's daughter for example, I didn't get picks for wild Card weekend. I was off, I was on vacation, you know what I mean. So it's tough. How do we How do we judge the final tally wins percentage? What do you think Venmo Brian? Percentage?
So one of the kids could win. So you're saying that Dylan and I are tied for first place because he's three and one and I'm six and two. I feel like with the kid because his team lost and now he just wants to create chaos. That might be it? Are yous just on chaos theory of Emo Brian? Maybe a little bit? Maybe a little bit. All right, So here's the thing. Though there's only three games left, you know what I mean? So like I already have six wins,
you know, So Jr's daughter can't catch me. There's only three games left. Derrick Davis can't catch me. Audrey can't catch me, you know what I mean? Like MICHAELA would have to go undefeated and I have to go winless for her to surpass me. All I'm saying is Speeds, I got you locked down, all right, but we'll see. Send me your your kids picks STA's over beat Cipher, send them to me. I'll be happy to try and play them. We'll track the pics. We'll see if anybody
can beat Speeds. Ao, guys, u venmo brien, We've only got a couple of minutes left. I see you over there in the fantasy pit of misery. A lot of times you get French fries, right yep? Okay, so you like fast food? Are you an elite college athlete who just won a national championship? Now? Did you see this? Venmo O'Brien, our guy are glorious commander and tweets Agent Orange,
the stable genius. I'm the vocal minority though. Um you know I got the Clemson championship winning football team to come on in lucky that they decided to show up if you ask me. But hey, that's another topic for another day. But because of this good old government shutdown, they didn't have the staff as usual to you know, cook the dinner. So homeboy decides to order in for the Clemson Tigers. You got some pizza, some Wendy, some big maxim fries. Do you think that's really part of
the elite college football players diet? You're like, yeah, I have some big max gras. Also, it's all good. Some of these guys are gonna be big time and pres like the combine is in like three weeks though. Uh, Brian, it's a cheap no bs, Yes, thank you, thank you. That's the sound effect that I'm looking for. You're telling me that, oh, I'm gonna go to White House so I can have a triple triple decker, a big Mac or whatever it is. No, I don't buy that, Vemo. Brian,
I don't know. He's crazy. Alright, obviously we can get into that, but like, couldn't he have done something different? Honestly, it's almost like you took like whatever was the least, you know, like the stupidest thing possible. It's like when faced with things, it's like, ah, what's the silliest thing I can do? Sure, let me get a bunch of pizza and big Max for the Clemson Tigers. It's just so crazy, But I digress a Vemo Brian, you are
you're gonna play college football? You're a little too slight for that, right? How you play some Maybe maybe you should play some QB. But if you'd have to study, you wouldn't be able to play baseball. Also, like Kyla Maury, right, where do you think he should go? I think he needs to play baseball. What do you think of fel you get your money? Quicker? Yeah, but in football you can get real hurt. Men getting hurt in baseball like that. Oh, you are right, you ain't worried about it. It's easy
when you're not talking about your race. A right. In any event, I'll be back on Thursday. Semi videos will break down the championship Sunday games. We'll do some DFS nuggets, We'll put the fund and functional sports content. As always, thanks to everybody in the cipher, always holding me down. Mendel, Bruce Clayton, Trey Hand, Lance Davis Strong Style. I'll see y'all Thursday. Smash that like button pitch
