Okay, you're going to get I already previewed some of the running backs I previewed some of the UH wideouts in previous episodes. We're gonna talk

quarterbacks here for a little bit. I'm also going to tell you I think there's ways we can win money on the NFL Draft. And I kid you not, I literally about ten minutes before airtime, because you know, our boy Danny Auto down there in the fantasy pit of misery. He may or may not live in a state where he can get down on the sports books. And I was like, Danny, I'm gonna put some money in my account. I need you to make this prop bet for the NFL Draft. I'll tell you what that is, because you

know how we do here. We try how to help you win your leagues and win that cash. I'm also gonna listen. Since we last spoke, a lot of things happen, including Speeds his birthday and thank you for all the birthday love out there. But also the NFL released its schedule, and I'm gonna tell you right now there are some things to learn about it. I tell you all the time about back to back to back and home road split and rest disparities and bye weeks. There are some

things to learn off of that. So we'll definitely talk about that as well. What I'm also going to do, you know, we got Major League Baseball going on, we got Fantasy Baseball going on. I'm gonna take a ride on the Closer Merry Go Round, Okay, and I'm gonna tell you a couple of places where we um where we're looking for diamonds and foul gazes. Guys, I got some closer diamonds and foul gazes for you in Fantasy Baseball.

And then of course we will put the fun and functional sports content with Stats over Beat Cipher as always. In our final segment, we'll put will you know, we'll tell Danny about some stories. We'll get his reaction. I'm gonna also tell Danny, Danny, I'm gonna tell the Stats over Beat Cipher about that other story that Gabe is talking about that went down in Toronto, So we're gonna have to talk about that as well. We also got

a pull question as usual. What I want to know is what do you think is the biggest question and or smoke screen heading into the NFL Draft this Thursday. Okay, We're hearing a lot of buzz and at this point I'm gonna tell you right now, you cannot believe anything you hear at this point. You probably shouldn't have believed it last week either. All right, but what is it? You know? Is it about? Is it the Kyler Murray Josh rose in Arizona Cardinal saga? Okay, we've been talking

about this. Your boy Speeds was on it early that Arizona and new head coach Cliff Kingsbury may go ahead and draft Kyler Murray number one, may then flip Josh Roseen. That's been a narrative out here that your boy Speeds was on early. Is that the number one story is the number one story the Oakland Raiders moving to Las Vegas with John Gruden. Remember they got all these picks. They have three first round picks, number four overall and two on the back half in the twenties. What will

they do with it? I got an interesting report about what they did this weekend as well in the Raiders war room. You want to stay tuned for that is that the New York Football Giants, who sit there at six, who's sit there at seventeen? After getting another first round pick for trading for Oldell Beckham? Will they get Eli Manning's air apparent that is the question, Okay, for fans here in New York, many people thought it was gonna happen last year with the guys the likes of Sam Donald,

Baker Mayfield. It did not. They got the generational talent that is Sae Kwon Barkley. Will they get Eli z Era a parent this year or are they you know, tanking for two like some other teams, or will it just be in general the trades, the trade market that happens, you know, and that could be a way to look at it, you know, And that's where we will get started here. Eleven of the last twelve quarterbacks who have been drafted in the first round, the team who drafted

them traded up to get them. Let me say that again, Eleven of the last twelve quarterbacks that have gone in the first round. The lone exception, I believe being Baker Mayfield, who was in the one spot, so you're cutting trade up for him anyway. Last year, the Jets traded up for Donald, the Ravens traded up for Lamar Jackson, Hey teams traded up for Josh Rojan. The Cardinals just traded up for Josh Rosen. The same in the previous year, the Chiefs traded up for Patty Mahomes. The Bears traded

up for Mitchell Trobiski. Okay, the Texans traded up for Deshaun Watson. The Eagles traded up to go get Carson Wentz. The same with the Rams and Jared Goff. Okay, if you want your quarterback, you are going up to get it. So everyone's talking right now about oh, you know, Kyler Murray is gonna be the one overall, and then you know Dwayne Haskins is gonna fall in this draft. Someone in this draft likes Dwayne Haskins, someone will find an opportunity to trade up for him. Someone in this draft

likes Drew Lock. I'll tell you it's John Lay and the Denver Broncos, by the way, someone will trade up to get him. Okay, So let's talk a little bit about these quarterbacks and about you know, where they're gonna go, what kind of skill set they may have. Everybody knows about Kyler Murray, okay, And the rub of on him was was he too short? You know that sort of thing. Um was he gonna play baseball? That was out there for a while. He then made the difference, you know,

he made the move. Listen, this guy has a sixty nine percent completion percentage. It didn't matter when Baker Mayfield wasn't tall enough. It shouldn't matter what Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray a more explosive quarterback. And let me tell you something. This is the way in my opinion, and there are arguments against it, but I think the quarterback position is evolving in the NFL. I think Russell Wilson started it.

Guys like DeShawn Watson, Guys like even Mitchell Trobinsky, Guys like Patty Mahomes elusiveness in the pocket, Aaron Rodgers has it to a lesser extent, you'd be surprised, but Sam Donald has it. Okay, that's what you Baker Mayfield, that's what you need. That's what Kyler Murray is. By the way, that's what Josh Rosen is not. That might be why Cliff Kingsbury thinks he's a fit for that offense. I believe he's going number one overall. I believe Arizona is

going to take him. And yes, I believe Fosh Rosen will be flipped and Rosen is a part of this QB draft. You have to figure Josh Rosen as part of it, and honestly, many people have said I've said it here for the status over beat Cipher as well. The two thousand eighteen draft class was better than the two thousand nineteen draft class. Josh Rosen was one of the top four in last year's draft class. Many people believe he would be the second or third highest rated

quarterback in this draft class. So don't just go thinking that Josh Rosen is damaged goods with Arizona last year he had the worst offensive line in the NFL, the worst team in the NFL. Albeit, okay, in a different situation, and there are some quarterback needy teams that I think he could be a decent fit for to keep an eye on. But I do think Mary's going number one overall. Dwayne Haskins. Let me tell you something I saw a

piece recently. Haskins was on one of these shows and they had you know, the quarterback that was on set breaking down game film and plays and on the board with him. This dude processes information like a veteran NFL quarterback. Okay, he is not going to be the elusive person in the pocket. He is a stand and deliver kind of guy. He makes his reads, he has the accuracy. Many people are saying he's falling. Many people are saying the New York Giants instead are gonna go pass Rusher at number six.

Let me tell you something, If they pass up Dwayne Haskins at six, I think they are making a mistake. I think Dwayne Haskins is a franchise quarterback right. I ultimately do think that it is a smoke screen. I ultimately do think Gettleman wants Haskins at number six. Overall. I think he is fading Haskins in the public because he is afraid of another team trading over the Giants at six to a team like three the Jets for the Raiders who are open for business and leap frogging

the Giants at six for Dwayne Haskins. I think Dwayne Haskins is the heir apparent to Eli Manning, and I think it is a good pick. That's where I think he's it. Now you get interesting. The next one is Drew lock Elway loves him. I have been saying this since the scouting combines, since the Pro days, that sort of stuff he was that they were at the Senior Bowl Drew Lock had a great Senior Bowl. Okay, they said he was a quick study. They're picked up everything

they said, they love. They are enamored with this kid and kind of like, quote unquote the way he can spin it. I'm gonna tell you a comp that on its face you will not like, but actually is I think a good camp and especially for a team like the Denver Broncos. A lot of people are calling him similar to Jay Cutler. Okay, both in terms of the fact that he's got how it's serve cannon for an arm, but also his people have said likened him to his leadership demeanor as like an Eli manning a j Cutler.

You know what that means. That means the sad face, the aw shucks. Okay, not the best moniker to have. Well, boy, can he spin it. This is the kind of quarterback that John Elway likes, the Paxton Lynches of the world, the big guys right with the arms. I think Drew Lock may be connected to the Denver Broncos, whether it be at ten or whether the Broncos decide to move in the draft up or down to try and get them.

I think Lock to Denver is the match I'm trying to tell you where the teams are and their quarterback match so so far Kyler Murray, Arizona, Dwayne Haskins, Giants, Um Drew Lock, Denver, Broncos. In my opinion, I believe Rosen. There's two places for Rosen. I'm saying. I said it last week. I'll say it again. I believe the Washington football team is an interesting fit for Rosen wrote, the Washington football team has the fifteen overall pick. If they

traded that, they would get Rosen. Might it take something less though, That's the interesting thing. The scheme with Gruden there, uh Jay not John is good. The offensive line there is good, and you need that with one of these quarterbacks who is not the Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield type, standing deliver type which Josh Rosen is. They have a developed offensive line there when healthy. Okay, so I think Washington could be a good fit. But let

me tell you something else. If I've said it before, I say it again. You want to try and make some money on the draft. Everybody knows about Kyler Murray, everybody knows the Giant seen and the air apparents Eli. I'm gonna tell you the team to watch that may go get their air apparent, get their quarterback this year. I believe the Cincinnati Bengals may in fact make a move at quarterback this year. They may get the guy

who sits behind Dandy Dalton for a year. They may be a name you start to hear connected to Josh Rosen, same kind of thing, right scheme for it. Okay, they are a team to watch, the Cincinnati Bengals. Now there's other guys, because listen, in every division in football, I can show you a starting quarterback who was not drafted in the first and second round. All right. In the a f C East, Tom Brady was a six round pick.

Ryan Fitzpatrick wasn't a high draft pick in the a f C North, let's see, and the Dalton was the second round pick in the a f C South. You got Nick Foles down there right now. In the a f C West, who do we got? Um? You got Flacco out there in Denver, Okay. You got guys like Dak Prescott, Russell Wilson, Okay, all who were not first round picks. So everyone keeps talking about these first round picks, the Haskins, the locks of the world. Don't get it twisted. Okay.

Um Daniel Jones is an interesting name. If the Giants don't like Um Haskins, what they may do, whether it be at seventeen or later in the draft in round two, Daniel Jones could be a guy they like. Okay. He went to Duke David Cutcliff was his coach. They have connections to the Manning camp and the Manning family. Okay,

this kid knows the Manning camp. Could it be interesting for guy like Daniel Jones to be an air apparent to Eli Manning if they want to go ahead and build, say the offensive line, and get a pass rusher at six and seventeen, or might they want to get Daniel Jones at seventeen if they explore options. Okay. Will Greer is a name to know. Okay, this is a guy that's kind of a developmental guy. He doesn't necessarily have this huge arm strength. Okay, he didn't have a great

Senior Bowl, but a good developmental prospect. I'm gonna tell you something, Will Greer in rounds two or three, do not be surprised if a team that has, you know, a quarterback towards the end New England Patriots for example, Los Angeles Chargers for example, Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints. These kind of guys who can allow a kid like a Will Greer, like a Ryan Finley from North Carolina State, who, by the way, I think is pro ready in terms

of his accuracy his decision making. Ryan Finley out of North Carolina State could be a second or third round quarterback along with a guy like uh, Will Greer if they sit for a little while a year or two, could step in for a guy like a Philip Rivers or Tom Brady. Okay, keep an eye out on those things. I got a lot of other things I wanted to mention, but let me tell you something real quick, because we've got a couple of more minutes before we hit the break.

Those are the quarterbacks in where I think they might wind up. Okay, but over over there on the fan Duel sports book, you can bet a lot of props on this, okay, and Kyler Murray's team is one of them. Arizona is the favorite. But that's minus a thousand. You ain't gonna make any money on that. The number one pick, Kyler Murray minus a thousand, You're not gonna make any money on that first quarterback taken Kyler Murray minus thousand. You're not gonna make any money on that. Okay, you

can bet on the first running back taken. The favorite is Josh Jacobs at minus four fifty. I told you about Josh Jacobs. I do think he is the best back, but I would not bet it because different teams like different things. Remember there's different It's like Baskin Robbins, right, So I wouldn't bet that same thing with the first wide receiver take, in which you can get DK Metcalf in an interesting price minus one seventy five for DK Metcalf, who blew away the combine. By the way, if you

remember blew away the combine. I do think he'll be the first wide receiver off the board, but I ain't betting it. I think he's gonna I think he's live for Jacksonville at seven. I think he's live for Buffalo, also in the top seven. Remember Buffalo got Cole Beasley to be the slot guy. They got Smoke Brown to be a deep beat. They didn't get a big body dude like DK Metcalf that could be a vertical threat. But here's where I'm going and I told Danny, go go empty the bank account, put it in the fan

duel account, and drop it right now. First tight end taken. Now, it's okay, Danny, you're gonna put it in the bet to worry about it. You just gotta, Danny, you just gotta put the bet in before I before everyone runs and we get and we get a bad number. Yeah no, but that's okay. Do me a favor, everybody in the chat room. Okay, strong style, perry Ing, you know, promise me, I'm gonna give you this bet. Don't better until later tonight some Danny can get it in on our account.

First we get a good number before you guys go ahead and you know, change the damn odds on it. Okay, yeah's strong style. There's plenty of wide receivers later. Okay, there are plenty of wide receivers Strong style. You're absolutely right. Okay, there's a J. Brown is Malcolm Brown. There's you know, there's a ton of options out there, but DK Metcalf I think to the bills is pretty interesting, alright, um our Segal Whiteside is the guy who I think will be a good big body hands point the point of

the catch kind of guy. But let me tell you something. First tight end taken minus two eight. T J. Hockenson out of Iowa, consensus first round pick. Consensus top tight end coming off the board in the first round. None of these other guys that legit first round picks. T J. Hawkinson, first tight end taken. Run to the window and cash, which your boy. That's what we do. We help when your leave and when net cash come on right back

Big shout out as always to the stats over beat Cipher Chilling in the chat room. Got a couple of things to answer real quick, um mendo. I don't know Danny fits the notifications. I know it said eight o'clock at first, but he switched them up. That's my man, danie Otto down there in the fantasy

pit of misery, and you guys are absolutely correct. It seems like someone's trying to give me five alas. But no, I none of that money. Okay, just let it be known right now, Danny, I see none of that money. I appreciate Dantana, Who's who pledged me five alas? This year in fantasy is gonna be epic hashtag, Yes sir e yes, sir um, But I don't see that money. If you want to actually contribute to the spitting statistation or you gotta hit me up on that Patreon, you

know how we do. Okay, we also gotta pull question up. I was asking you what is the biggest storyline or smoke screen going on right now? A lot of people say it's this Arizona with Kyler Murray and Josh Rosen situation. What will they do? All right? And then I got a question out here from my man's strong style Dilly Dilly real deal status over beat cipher asks me thoughts on Hunter Henry this year a top blank tight end. And you know what, I'm happy you asked, Okay, because

I actually believe that Hunter Henry. Um, I believe he could be five six this year. I think your top three are locked and remember there's no Gronk. Okay, I think your top three are locked in. In my order, um, it's Kelsey Art's and Kittle Kelsey Art's. Kittle, I think those are the top three. I actually think those three are viable in as and those three will go off

boards in my opinion, in rounds two through four. Okay, somebody will take a guy like a Kelsey in around two and Arts in early round three, a Kiddle in that area maybe down in round four as well. Okay, especially as we move into this passing league that we're in and tight ends are more mismatches. If you see the these three stats, Kittle Kelsey Art's, Um, I think those three are your clear top tier. Okay. Then to me, after that, there is a tier of four and Hunter

Henry is in it. Okay, strong style, So to me four through seven, and you know, we still got a few months to deal with this in terms of splitting hairs in the order. But to me, another tier, um is you gotta have Eric Ebron in there after his connection with Andrew Luck last year and the fact that you know, I just and and they haven't really funcious Devin Funches doesn't move the needle to me. I know he's a big body, red zone target, but it does not move the needle for me. I think Abron is

still a top tight end for Andrew Luck. Okay, I like Hunter Henry in there. Do not forget about this offense that now also does not have Tyrrell Williams. Right. I love this offense that they're one of the most productive offenses with Philip Rivers. He has relied on the tight end for his entire career. Gates unless they try to lure him back, will not be there. And Hunter Henry steps right in he should be a hundred percent. Remember technically he was available for their their playoff laws.

I think this tier also includes um Evan Ingram Okay, I have told you guys about Evan Ingram for a while. His rookie year, he was the exception to my you know my trend that rookie tight ends don't do well. But why because everybody was injured? So the targets were there for him. Then I said last year he was a fool gazey for me. Why because Odell Beckham was back.

Sat Kwan Barkley would be there now going into this and he still was a top ten tight end now going into this year, Odell Beckham gone, Yes, Golden Tate and Sterling Shepard will get the preponderism stuff. Say Quan is there, but I think Ingram elevates back to my tight end kind of seven. Let's say, right, and the other one who needs to be in this category the the guy by the way I am targeting. I am targeting Hunter Henry Strong Style and this guy and it's

Jared Cook. Guys, Jared Cook is a very athletic tight end. He always has been, whether it's been Green Bay, his stint in Oakland. But now he gets to be in with Drew Brees in the New Orleans Saints and that on that offense. Drew Brees has leveraged the tight end his entire career. He made Ben Watson a viable streaming tight end. They went out and signed Jared Cook. I said the same thing last year about the Bears going out and signing Trey Burton, who will probably be in

my top ten and tight end as well. The Saints saw the utility of the weaponry that is Jared Cook. He is in my tier. If I had to give a top five, it would be Kelsey Art's Kittle, Cook and Henry uh with Eric Ebron on the consideration as well as always thank you for the question uh Strong style. I don't know. I don't have those guys now. I don't like O. J. Howard as much. I think Bruce arians is more downfield in Tampa, although you know he's I I ain't mad at him, you know, and um,

But otherwise I like what you got there. I like what you got there, all right. But in an event, I told you I wanted to make some money. By the way first tight end take and the reason we said this, go bet it right now, or actually wait until Danny gets into the state of New Jersey, then you could bet it. Um T J. Hockenson first tight end off the board out of Iowa. Al Right, here's

what I wanted to also talk about. Last week. I mentioned that the schedule was going to come out, and I talked about a couple of things that you may want to look for. Whether this is helps you with a lean on season win totals, you know, or when you think in fantasy, if you want to get these guys for early in the season and fade them late or vice versa. Right, here's some things I noticed coming off the schedule. I tell you every year at what coaches look at is the idea of if any teams

have back to back to back road games. And technically that only happens for one team this year. Last year only three teams had a back to back to back road game stretch. This year, only one team has it. It is the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles have three straight road games. Okay, in October. I'll tell you the exact weeks for them. Okay, it is all right, Week six, seven, and eight. Week six at Minnesota not an easy task. Week seven at division rival Dallas on Sunday night football,

not easy. Right. Then the third one in a row, Week eight at Buffalo. Okay, and you would normally maybe think, oh, Eagles maybe maybe better pro rated than Buffalo, right, but no, I believe that is a scheduled loss for the Philadelphia Eagles. There week eight game at Buffalo, when the early lines come out and you want to get a taste of that early line. Week eight, This is gonna be undervalued. Okay,

Buffalo as a home dog. Don't forget Philly will be coming off a three straight home It will be their third straight road game. That is something to note. But what is also important to note that's only the technical three straight road games. Check out what happens to the Oakland Raiders, who, by the way, we know our nomads anyway, right, because this is their last year, they're moving to Vegas. Oakland didn't want them in the first place, right, So

this kind of makes sense. But check this out. The Oakland Raiders have a regular home game Week two against the Kansas City Chiefs. Right, they'll probably get banked by the Kansas City Chiefs. Week two, they do not play another home game in Oakland. They do not sleep in their beds on a Saturday night again until week nine against the Detroit Lions. Week two to week nine, they don't have another actual home game. Here's what they have

Week three at Minnesota, Week four at Indianapolis. Then week five, what they have is a game that's technically a home game for them, but guess what, it's in London. It ain't a real home game that's against the Chicago Bears. Then Week six, their bye week, Week seven at Green Bay, week eate at Houston, until they are finally back home again for the Detroit Lions. Okay, they also end the year which back to back road games at the Chargers and at the Broncos. The schedule makers do not smile

upon Gruden and the Oakland Raiders. The one caveat with that I will mention is this, the Chargers had a similar thing last year and Rivers mentioned that it galvanized them. That they had a couple of road games, then the London game, obviously, the bye after the London game, and then another road game, War two. In that road game after the long game, remember when they went to Seattle and looked real good. Philip Rivers was saying that it

really kind of brought the team together. So we'll see, okay, but that was a team that was a team that um was jelling anyway, was a contender anyway, right, So they saw it as a business trip and an opportunity to gel So I think that was interesting alright. Other schedule notes, I feel bad for the Eagles. I feel bad for the Raiders, another team. I feel bad for Well, let me check that another team with a bad scheduling court because I don't feel bad for them, and it's

the m F New England Patriots. Check this one out. Okay. They face three and a half teams when they play them, their opponent is coming off a bye. I like that if you're anti New England, okay, and maybe you can find opportunities to fade New England here, not necessarily because of them, but because their opponent is coming off a bye. Check this out. Week eight they face Cleveland. Cleveland will be coming off of by in week seven. Week nine Sunday Night Football at Baltimore, not an easy one. The

Ravens will be coming off their Week eight by. Week eleven at Ladelphia, the Philadelphia Eagles will be coming off of their Week ten by and the that's three and I'll give you a half one. Also a week thirteen, they are at Houston on Sunday Night football. The Texans will not be coming off a full by but the previous week. They have an early home Thursday night football game in week twelve, Okay, so they call that the mini by. Those are four games that are not easy

for the Patriots. Remember the Patriots. Where a team that when I think, like five hundred on the road last year. Okay, Now this is a team now without Gronk that will have to go at Baltimore, at Philly, and at Houston for three of their road games again when their opponent is basically getting extra rest. Okay, that is something that I I will look at when I see the Patriots win total. And if the Patriots, remember listen, and you

know I'm gonna find every reason if possibly fade the Patriots. Right, but the Patriots last year, remember with that two seed. I will tell you again, if the Patriots do not get a bye, they will not get to the super Bowl. If they are not that one or two seed, they will not get to the super Bowl. Okay, in crunch time last year, over time in Kansas City, Gronk on third down the super Bowl grunk to get to the two yard line to set up the score. These road

games are gonna be very interesting for the New England Patriots. Okay, here's one other thing I'll tell you. As you guys know J E. T. S Fan the Jets, they have a record, a franchise record low in terms of travel miles. Okay, let me say that again, they do not travel at all. The FURTHEST road game they have in terms of going west out into the Western time zone or the Pacific time zone. The FURTHEST West. They travel Cincinnati, that's it.

They don't have any games out there, Kansas City, Denver, Oakland, the Chargers, they don't have any of those. They play them. They play the a f C North this year. Okay, they are at Cincinnati, they have Pittsburgh coming to them. They're at Baltimore. That's not a long trip for the Jets. Their Furthest trips south. They obviously have the the Miami Dolphins, and they are at Jacksonville. That's like one of their other long road trips. But they stay in the Eastern

time zone. They play the NFC East the Cowboys, which is the FURTHEST trip come to MetLife. Alright, so I think it sets up easy for the Jets. Al Right, road trips to Philly or Washington are not bad. Okay, so that's an interesting thing to note. The Jets, who have a relatively easy schedule with their last place schedule, also don't travel far at all. Okay, something interesting to note. And here's the other thing I'll mention, and I think this is going to be actually important plays for when

you're looking at division. Yeah, you're right, bro, with strong style, those are some tough defenses they're gonna have to see two. I'm telling you, I'm I want to say it every year, but I think this is the year where where it starts being the fall of Room. I really do. I know I said that last year, but I do think the loss of Gronk loss playmakers Brady one year older.

And I think the schedule. I think there's a lot of teams in the a f C Up and coming ready to go with quarterbacks in or entering their prime Patty Mahomes, Andrew Luck, Deshaun Watson all ready to enter their prime prime and picking ready to go to check the throne of Tom Brady. But that's that's, you know, that's besides the point. The other part I wanted to mention is the schedule came out, but we knew the

opponents already, We knew the home road opponents already. And there are two things, two teams, one in the a f C, one of the NFC that I think are really benefited by the way the schedules are. In general, Okay, Remember you play your entire division twice, that's six games. You play one division in the other conference for four games, that makes ten. You play one other division full division

in your conference for four games, that makes fourteen. Then if you're a first place team, you play the other two first place teams in your conference. If you're the last place team, you play the other two last place teams in your conference. So the Jets, for example, like I say, they're playing the see North, the entire NFC North. They play the other two last place teams, which were the Jaguars and the Raiders, right as opposed to having to play like, you know, the Texans and the Chiefs.

That's the difference. And I think this really helps a couple of third place teams who are on the rise. First the Cleveland Browns, who everybody loves. The Browns. Jilly Dilley has it in her notes. I was on them well before everybody else. Okay, check the notes, Jilly. They play a third place schedule, all right, and they the North. They play the entire a f C East, so that's already good. They played have to play the pass. But then they got three teams that you know they can handle.

Maybe they have to play the third place team in the a f C West and the third place team in the a f C South instead of say, the first place team like the Baltimore Ravens. Do I think the Ravens and the Steelers were gonna be going down for it with the Browns in this a f C North Right now, look at what that means the Browns in this scenario, they play the Denver Broncos and the

Tennessee Titans. Meanwhile, and remember otherwise, the Browns and the Ravens have the same exact schedule in terms of their opponents except for each other. Right, Obviously, the Browns will play the Broncos and the Titans instead of the Broncos, Oh yeah, the Ravens will see the Chiefs and instead of the Titans, Oh yeah, the Ravens will see the

Houston Texans. That's a definitive advantage for a division that could be between decided between one and two games, seeing the Broncos and Titans instead of the Chiefs and the Texans. Legit dif difference. Another team that I believe this really helps another third place team. One was the third place team the a f C North, the third place team in the NFC North, I believe is also dramatically helped by this schedule. Checked this out. By the way, I'm

talking about the Aaron Rodgers led Green Bay Packers. They also they play the entire NFC East, right, I think that's a good draw instead of haven't to play the West or the South. Okay, and think about this as a third place team having to play the West and the South. The Packers get to play the forty Niners and the Panthers as opposed to the division winner in that division, the Bears. They have to see. Oh yeah,

the Rams and the Saints. You're telling me it's not a little bit easier to see the Niners and the Panthers instead of seeing the Rams and the Saints. That is a big benefit for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Something to remember when we, uh, you know, when we look at these season win totals, which is something we'll do after the draft, when I do winners and losers that sort of thing next week here on

the Fantasy Freestyle. But to remind you guys, also we gotta pull question out if you want to holler at me at F and T S Y radio at Fantasy Sports Net at of course me at spitting speeds. For the eight percent of you right now say Arizona with Murray and Rosen is the number one storyline here in this draft. The number two right now you say the Raiders drama. And by the way, did you see this? The Raiders John Gruden and Mike Mayock sent their scouts home out of their war room this weekend said your

work is done, now leave us. Um And there's reports okay even that um. They sent them home because they couldn't be trusted. They couldn't trust them to kind of not leak to the media what they're like secret plans were gonna be. Do they want to get Kyler Murray? Do they want to use those picks on defense or to trade? I think they're going defense with all those picks, okay, but do which do they want to do? I think

that's interesting. It seems to me kind of unrest in Oakland when it comes to the Raiders there in Gruden and Mayock. They're sending their they sent their scouts home to not be in the war room anymore. They got it from here. I think that's interesting. But regardless of what happens. I will be here on this desk with my boy Mike blew It. You heard us doing fantasy sports today back last year, and my man if have game plan Emery Hunt. Nobody breaks down the college scouting

Tell a friend to tell a friend about your boy to spitting statistician in the Fantasy Freestyle three hundred and seventy two episodes, cannot be wrong, Strong Style, let me tell you something. Never trust the big button a smile. You're absolutely right. You know I'm getting married, by the way, in a couple of months, I trusted a big button a smile, and look at where it got me. I am very happy with where it got me.

By the way, Strong Style, you're absolutely right. Tell people to smash this like button and you can really tell about real deal stats over beat Cipher. People like my man's strong style. Ninja he says in the chat, No avocados will save Tom Brady this season. That means he's been listening to me for years talking about the uggs and the avocados and the hyperbaric chambers and all that good stuff. And you know it's about to go down.

I think it's about to fall off. Okay. Remember the Patriots were like four and four on the road last year, all right, so uh, we shall see if they got to go through a gauntlet this year. It ain't gonna happen, all right, But in any event, we got them, We got the poll question up. I'll let you guys know I will be here on Thursday again with Mike Blewett

and Emery Hunt. But here's what I want to do, Okay, Um, Danny, you know this is where we always put the fun and functional sports gambling or for fun and functional sports content, fun and functional sports radio, whatever it is, right when we have our fun with the status of beat Cipher and I wanted to get your opinion on something, Danny. Um. Kate Smith. You know, Kate Smith is Danny all right.

So there's a famous you know, she's a singer, okay, and she did this big rendition of God Bless America. Uh um that like a lot of teams use. The Philadelphia Flyers famously used her to sing God Bless America. You know. The Yankees used it in the seventh inning stretch, you know, that sort of thing in the national anthem, that sort of thing. It's her. It's her version of God Bless America that stayed a lot of stadiums, most notably the Yankees and the Flyers play Danny, all Right,

the woman is dead, Danny. The woman has been dead for a while. Okay, someone when digging and found out that also in nineteen thirty one, among other things, she made a song entitled That's why Darky's were Born, a little white supremacist action. Damn yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Um. And so now the Flyers and the Yankees have decided to never use her version of God Bless America again. In Philadelphia, there was legit a statue to this woman because it was so famous that they have like covered. Now.

Now here's my question, Danny. There's even some report it's not to be quite honest, this song That's why Darkeys were born, which sounds somewhat ridiculous, but um, that she does it. It's a cameo with like some other African American dude, and they're actually like doing a satire and making fun of the people who would actually think, you know,

the stuff about quote unquote darkies. But that's besides the point, um, Danny, what do you think about this, like digging into the past, because I believe, like listen, if you dig enough, you're gonna find something. If you go digging into thirties and the forties and the sixties, you're gonna find something, whether it be a congressman in black face, whether it be Kate Smith having a that's why darkeys are born, you know.

I mean, like when you look at mad Men, the TV show, it wasn't right for them to be harassing women in the workplace day after day. No, it was not right. It was wrong. But like, if you're gonna expose someone in two thousand nineteen for the behavior in the cultural norms of nineteen fifty, it's a little bit of a jump, you know, for me at least for me at least, Like, don't get me wrong, it's it's

not a good thing. It was not okay. It should not have been tolerated, right, but to take two thousand nineteen in all our progressive movements, you know, and lift up that set of expectations and norms and put them on a different society. I don't know if it works. You know, like there's some societies Danny, where looking your elders in the eye, making eye contact with adults is a sign of respect. There are other cultures right now were that exact same behavior, Looking your elders in the

eye is a form of disrespect, Danny. So what if I grew up in one culture and move to another place. But I'm just doing what I thought, and now it's viewed differently, you know what I'm saying, Danny. So my question is and that like they are scrubbing Kate Smith from the Yankees version of God Blessing Mary the girl that taking statues down of her. Here's my question, Danny, when are they gonna take down the Lincoln Monument or

the Jefferson Monument or the Washington Monument. Didn't those weren't those guys ave owners? Also? Hm? Hm, that's your response. I like that, Danny. I mean you don't want to go there. Well, I guess it's really like you can't really pick and choose. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying, by the way, strong style of thanks. Congrats to get married brother, It's enjoyed, it's awesome, thank you, thank you. And then jerr T says millennial needs to

chill it all being up up to the inoffensive. Um right, you know, That's what I'm saying. And don't get me wrong, I'm not excusing it, but I'm just saying, people just want to be offended by something. You know, I made that. I said, uh last week that Nick Boza, nick Bosa scrubbed his Twitter timeline because he had some I guess

comments about Kaepernick. And now he's where because the forty nine is my draft him number two overall, you know, and I say this, I'm gonna tell you right now, if you're about to get drafted, this happens all the time, you better go back and check your social media right now and start deleting stuff, okay, because if you're Nick Boza,

if you're you know, a guy's gonna get drafted. People are digging and trying to find stuff to drop right when it's least convenient for you, you know, Like think about Josh Hayter in the All Star Game with his racist tweets from when he was like fourteen years old. Think about Laramie Tunsil, the offensive tackle a couple of years ago. It was supposed to be a top three pick and fell because Danny. Literally fifteen minutes before the draft, someone posted on social media a picture of him taking

gas mask bomb rips. It dropped, literally on social media. Ten minutes before the draft. His draft stock fell. This is what happens. If you go searching, you're gonna find something, okay, And so I find it a little bit weird that we're taking them two thousand nineteen, which, by the way, I agree with, is more evolved. Don't get it wrong. I am the vocal minority. Dilly dilly, Ya'll know it. I just think it's hard to go digging in so

retroactively and applying different norms now too. Then it's tough. It's a slippery slope. Okay. Let's like we say in the chat room. I think someone's saying it, uh strong South saying it focus on two thousand nineteen, Are you right, Jerty? Sometimes it's not they're not even a time they think there should be they should be or like they know someone who should be and it's just a little bit ridiculous.

But uh, what do you think, Danny, I mean, like a little too far or or like completely to go to these lengths to now scrub Kate Smith, who, by the way, has passed away on on a on a song that may or may not have tendencies in because there's also reports coming out now that this was actually kind of like a satirical like play on it, like making fun of it. Also, what do you think, Danny?

I mean, I pretty much agree with you, like if you dig hard enough, you are going to find something bad and if you because I mean, there are plenty of things that over time we have evolved to say like, hey, this isn't right to say anymore, but this isn't right to do anymore. And so I mean that shows that

we have been growing. But if you go to the back, like if you go back in time to where it was accepted, it wasn't like the focus on people to to say hey this is wrong, then obviously everybody's gonna be offended of it now because we've grown as a you know that like a lot of comedians can't even perform on college campuses anymore because instead of finding things like funny and having it be humor, people like Jerta saying, I just like racing to get offended their ff and

jokes people. That's why it's comedy. Comedians are literally not going on college campuses anymore and doing comedy because someone's gonna get offended and then like people are gonna, you know, attack them on social media or there's gonna be backlash from a joke about something. I think it's a little

too far, Danny. Yeah, I have heard that before about comedians, because do you have a couple of friends who are stand up comedians and they have said, yeah, they can come on Fantasy Freestyle and drop jokes anytime you want, Danny a right, check it out real quick. I want

to do a quick closing report. I was telling you guys in Fantasy Baseball, I would give you the closer Merry go round though, right, A little diamonds in the rough all right in Atlanta with this Guyno out aj Minter's only all right, but he's gotten blown up a few times. So it's Chad Sebotka. Think about Chad Subotka is only only and like I percent of leagues and one I wanted to just say Sobotka because ethan Ziggy from the Yre season two. Right, but check, he's a

name to know. Deeper in that Braves bullpen in Minnesota, Blake Parker, I think is gonna emerge from this committee to be the closer. Okay, he's fifty eight percent owned in fantasy. He's pitching to a one point for two e r A at one point one one whip. My man Yang down there in the fantasy pit of misery thinks he knows who the closer are the twins is. I'm gonna tell you it's emerging. It's gonna be Blake Parker. And by the way, Yang, he's on my squad um

in Kansas City. It is wide open, okay some people. If you believe it's Ian Kennedy, he's pitched, well, he's only seven percent owned, all right, that might be the guy. And the last want to tell you is in Seattle Anthony Swarzik, who has three saves pitching to a zero point nine five whip, and Rowennis Elias who's pitching to a one point oh two whip. These guys have three and four saves respectively. Okay, but they're also only fifty

percent and thirty nine percent owned. The Mariners have one of the best records in Major League Baseball, all right, so they're gonna be some save opportunities they are. Those are some guys to target in the back end of your bullpen. The closer merry go round? How was it were? As some roles are still being settled. I think you can find some guys that are fifty right around. There are far less on to really help your fantasy bullpens. All right, we only got a couple of minutes left, Danny.

I cannot believe it. I you know, I come in here about half an hour for what if I minutes early, get ready to do fantasy freestyle, right, and game time decisions is on, right? And they were talking about a story, Danny, that I had to check out for myself. All right, um, you are familiar with this. I guess it happened today in Toronto or this morning or yesterday. You gotta straight

up Lorraino Bobbitt situation, Danny. Apparently a woman, uh you know, there was a domestic violence or cheating situation going on and the woman uh cut man's genitalia off off clean off Danny, and the gentleman was running around the building bleeding and around naked, bleeding. But then get this Danny. The woman then, apparently either through the appendage and or herself, decision details are cloudy here off of a seventh story roof.

Of these the entire story, which is very painful in general, but of the entire story, that's the part that I do. It's gotta be she threw the appendage off the roof, because if she had jumped off the seventh story flight, she's dead. Right. She came for the bushes, oh god, with a cock in hand. Uh. Interesting, but there you go. There you have it. Okay. So, by the way, strong Style is telling me, I'm really excited that we get married. You know, I'm never going to get into a situation where,

you know, my penis is getting hacked off. Mendel Bruce says it best okay in the chat room, by the way, and we'll leave you with this, he says, I'm sixty five. I've seen political correctness changed several times in my lifetime alone. The pendulum continues to swing people, all right, And what's accepted in one you know, it's all about different contexts. I'm saying in the same time, depends on where you go.

Cultural norms are different, you know, and so it's really hard to apply those norms to different places, different times, different cultures, and so it is very interesting. But by the way, you know, the vocal minority is gonna keep it one with the stats over Beat Cipher. Catch me here Thursday night, eight pm to midnight breaking down all of the NFL Draft with Mike Blewett and my man Emery Hunt. If you are in this chat room, okay and you hit me with the hashtag stats over Beats,

I will be sure to prioritize your question. Hit us up on the phone lines as well. Give him a Stats over Beats will get you on Thursday night. If I don't see you, then you can hear me every week morning six to nine am. Now, catch you right back here next Monday for Fantasy Freestyle with the status o of Beats Cipher. You know what it is. I'm out
