I got boy Donny Burns with me on the ones into so hot that we sweat steam blowing up like Chipotley in your stomach. Yo, we got a big show today. Okay, I am going to give you my starting lineup. I have been hot and also I just filled in for Benny Riccardi on that DFS lineup block show. So I got a full on lineup to give you tonight that will win that cash. It has been rubber stamped by the experts Tony Sencata and Benny Riccardi. Thanks for having

me on. Of course, we're also gonna talk NBA Playoffs with the Love Doctor Doctor back in the building. The finals are half set. I mean they've been set for about six months and we know this, but we're gonna keep on talking now that the spurs are done. But the question is, is Monu Gernobily done. We also have news, and I tried to get you yesterday. I want to tell you about an update on that Floyd Mayweather Connomer Gregor fight. Now it's time to put up a shut

up for Floyd Mayweather. We'll get into that a little bit. And you know, if you've been listening to Fantasy Freestyle that we have been covering that Big three three on three ice Cube league that is about to kick off in about a month. We got some play is already starting to talk smack at each other. Uh. You know these boys who they are, and you know they're gonna be talking some ying yang back and forth. So let

the let the alarm sound on that. And also if you've been listening to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know we've been talking a lot about players safety and other ways around that, whether it's you know, the ovoids, the marijuana,

that stuff. And we've also been talking about legalizing this gambling. Okay, So my poll question for you guys on that at F and T s Y Radio Twitter handling at spitting Speeds that is up end live for us right now, is what will become legal first in this fine United States of America as we had some Memorial Day weekend. Will it be sports gambling or will it be legalized marijuana federally. That's what I want to hear, because they have all sorts of sports implications. We're gonna get into

that the stipher fun and functional Sports Radio. I'm your boy, Dame Martinez, and this is the Fantasy Freestyle here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come right back, We're gonna get into it. Yeah, yea, Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I am your boy, Dane Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician holding you down. I got my boy Donny Burns with me so hot that we sweat steam. You know what

we do here. First on the Fantasy Freestyles, we give you my starting lineup. First, we start with a few news and notes around Major League Baseball. Corey Klueber, comin a starter for the Cleveland Indians, is gonna make a rehab start tomorrow. He's coming back from a back injury. They're saying that if that rehab start goes well, he could rejoin the big club. Expect Corey Kluber to be

back with the Indians sometime early next week. Carlos Rodone, however, it's still a long ways away, but he did pitch in his fourth simulated game. Remember he's had a bicep injury which has prevented him from taking the mount all season long. But after these simulated games, the next step for him is a rehab assignment. So we might be seeing the end of the light at the end of the tunnel for Carlos Rodan in the Chicago White Sox. The Dodgers have activated Logan Foresight from the d L

He's returning from a fractured big toe. Remember right now, with that Justin Turner injury, there is opportunity for him at third base for l A Similarly, the Mariners have activated Robinson Canoe, coming back from a quad injury from the d L. He will take his place right in the middle of that Mariners lineup. The last thing I want to mention to you, I told you guys yesterday that Matt Adams could be someone to use at first base. I told you that replacing Freddie Freeman, he was viable.

I told you that even though he was only four percent owned the fact that he's hitting fifth in that lineup, and that ballpark is a prime candidate for lefty power, and that Matt Adams was a prime candidate for this new launch angle flyball approach. Well, what did Matt Adams do yesterday? Two for four, two Ribby's and a homer against Garrett Cole. I hope you listened to me yesterday because I help you win your leagues and win that cash. I also helped you out last night with my starting pitchers.

Remember I told you, I told you that Garrett Cole, who was a stud at on FanDuel, I told you that he was great, but that sun Trust Park really scared me. What happened? He got rocked, only did not go five innings when four and two thirds innings, gave up five earned runs, including the two runs that came off the home run of Matt Adams, and only struck out two pour outing for Garrett Cole and I told you to fade him last night because of the ballpark. I hope you listened to me. I told you instead

I was going with Michael Piniata. Michael Piniata did in fact get to win and get a quality start, struck out six, had a decent game only when six and the third innings, but A, that's okay. The guy who I said last night was probably the chalk, probably the best way to go. The only issue is that I didn't like him because he gives me anxiety, and that Zach Granky and he had a monster game. He almost had a complete game when eight and two thirds, only

gave up one run. And here's the kicker, he struck out twelve. So if you had Zach Grinky, you probably cashed last night. But if you had Pineda, like I told you, you're probably okay too. Tonight. What starting pitchers do you go with? Well, the easy answer is obviously Clayton Kershaw. Clayton Kershaw on FanDuel is listed at twelve thousand, six hundred against the Cardinals tonight. If you listen to DFS Lineup lock last hour, when I was on with Tony Senkada, he said that he was in fact paying

up for Clayton Kershaw. Here's the thing, though, I offered a solution to be a little bit cheaper, and the great Tony Sankada said that I was on the right track. Benny Riccardi told me that this is a guy he'd be putting in his lineup as well. I went down and saved three thousand dollars. I'm still paying ninety four hundred tonight from my starter, but I'm going with Houston Astril starter. Lance mccullors in a way to try to beat Clayton Kershaw. Mccullors has been great this year so far.

Not seven of his nine starts have been qualities starts. Also, he's facing the Tigers. The Tigers were one hit last night, okay, so their offense has not been doing it and mccullors has been good overall. He's been even better at home. In his last four home starts, Lance mccullors has struck out ten guys, eight guys, ten guys, seven guys. So the strikeout upside is there. You're saving a little bit of money with Lance mccullors tonight against the lineup that

just got one hit last night. I like Lance mccullors for nine hundred as my starting pitcher. But I gotta tell you something. I feel a little bit confident today, guys, because I was on DFS Lineup Lock. So let me give you a couple of other guys. And if you play with this late swap, there are some guys whose games have not started that you need to know about because I learned some things on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network when I host DFS Lineup Lock with the Man,

the King, the Legend, Tony Sancada filling in for Benni Riccardio. Okay, listen, Benny Riccardi told me that batter verse picture data is important against the knuckleballer. Tony Sencada valid aided that fact. And you know what it's the Pirates up against are A. Dicky and the Braves tonight again in SunTrust Park, and Francisco Servelli is six for ten lifetime against r. A. Dickey when it's a knuckleballer. I think that actually matters because some people can see it and some people just can't.

Servelli understands what he's doing. Maybe that's why he's hitting fifth in that lineup. I like him at Catcher today are on fan Duel. If you don't have him in there, you can still swap him in there. You could also swap in that same game Matt Adams, What did I tell you? They have not caught up to this yet on fan Duel. He is only twenty two hundred on fan Duel. That is a basement bargain price, and I think you can get production in the middle of that lineup.

Remember Matt Adams a new Atlanta Brave. They are hoping he can replace some of the production from Freddie Freeman. I also think later on tonight you need to go with Jake Lamb in Arizona. Yeah, he's paying, You're paying up on forty form on FanDuel, But I like that Arizona lineup. Both Tony and Benny think that a diamondback stack tonight is in good order. So not only do I have Lamb, but I also have David Peralta as one of my as one of my outfielders as well.

From that same game and then my other outfielders. Just so you know, I got Lorenzo Caine going up against the lefty Montgomery in Yankee Stadium, and I like Max Kepler tonight in that game that just maybe got started in Baltimore. So hopefully you can use some of those guys because I'm trying to give you guys that are low owned, right, because the key here is you need to if you're play in a tournament, right, you need to have some people that are you know, low owned.

I mean Daniel Murphy tonight, who I've got who's a stud is somehow only two percent owned. Okay, So I'm happy when he goes yard later on in the game. I'm gonna get all those points. Noldbody else is I'm gonna hop people, Okay, Lorenzo Caine, who we talked about only one percent owned, Max Kepler, who we talked about only one percent owned. This is the way. This is what you need to do to win your league's and win that cast. You know. The other thing you can do.

I've been giving you starting pitchers all season long. Tonight, the answer is Lance mcculors. Like I said, going against the Detroit Tigers.

They were one hit last night, and mccullors has been sick on the at home, striking out at least seven guys in his last four home starts. When we come back, I'm gonna bring in my boy, Donnie Burns, the Love Doctor. We're gonna get it in a little bit. On the NBA playoffs, I got an update on that Floyd Conno McGregor fight as well. All that and more here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Come on back, it's your boy day, Martinez speeds the spitting statistician, and you're listening lot to

the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Yes, Yes, welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. Here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, gets your boy. Dane Martinez spees the spitting statistician holding you down with my man Donnie Burns on the ones and two so hot that we sweat steam. Let me give you some news and notes from around the NFL. Remember I told you yesterday you're gonna hear a lot of these what I call greatest shape of

his life kind of stories. Okay, and here's yet another one, this time about second year quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, Jared Goff. They're saying, Jared Goff is having a much easier time with the offense and he is grasping it much better now in his second year. Again, is that really the best kind of thing we can say about Jared Goff? That he under stands the offense? Remember last year he didn't know if the sun rises are set in the east of the West. He couldn't command the huddle,

he didn't know the verbage. So I guess he does have a better grasp of the offense. I am still staying far far away from Rams, including Todd Gurley in my fantasy season, the Broncos. They may be another team that's gonna go with a running back by committee. Remember you got C. J. Anderson, you got the second year player Davante Booker, but then they also signed Jamal Charles in the off season. Remember, there are very few back

fields where there is still a quote unquote workhorse. Okay, honestly, I can only think of three in the NFL right now. They are the Arizona Cardinals, they are the Dallas Cowboys, and they are the Pittsburgh Steelers. Outside of that, I do not think there is a you know, three down workhorse back. The only other one I'll put in there maybe up in Buffalo as well, now that gillies Ley

has moved on to the Patriots. Outside of those four teams and those four backs David Johnson, Levian Bell, Lashawn McCay, and Ezekiel Elliott, I think every team is pretty much in the same situation as the Denver Broncos, going running back by committee. They had their owners meetings in the NFL this week and some news coming out of that that I think is interesting. It looks like they are going to shorten overtime from fifteen minutes to ten minutes.

They are talking about this on their players safety. If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know that I do not think the NFL cares about players safety, and honestly, changing the game from fifteen to ten minutes overtimes does not really have an implication when you think about how many of the games actually go into overtime, actually go that deep into overtime, It is not saving. You want to do something different at a second by you want

to do something different. Let's revisit Thursday Night Football as the actual athletes and remember Thomas Low who came out certified athletic trainer. That's what they say, but I digress. Another thing they're saying from the owners meetings is now you will be able to hire coaches that are still

in the NFL playoffs. For example, you remember this year when I'm is telling you guys that it was the worst kept secret that Kyle Shanahan was going to be the guy for the vacant San Francisco forty Niners job, but he was still, you know, the o C of the Super Bowl Atlanta Falcons. He was not able to take that job. They're trying to change that now so that they can in fact do that, because it puts some of these coaches who are on playoff teams at a deficit if they can't actually go out there and

interview for the jobs. So I think that's a fine switch. And here's the last one that I think is very interesting. They are now going to allow some celebrations after touchdowns. But they're not saying all. They're saying some some use of props, some team dances. And I actually think this is an even slippery or slope because now what it's gonna be subjective to what the ref thinks. You know, Antonio Brown doing his little dance, isn't that like to to uh, pelvic thrust is okay? But three is not

who he's gonna be able to decide this. I don't think this should be subjective. I think it really needs to be clear so that everybody understands. But hey, the NFL trying to make moves on that. As we keep it moving here in the cipher on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, it is time for me to bring in my basketball correspondent and love doctor, my man Donnie Burns on the ones into so Hot

that We Sweat Steam. We gotta talk about last night, the end of the San Antonio Spurs season, as the Golden State Warriors win and complete the sweep. They win one to one fifteen. Listen, Donnie, I mean, Kevin Durant had himself a game ten of thirteen from the field to go for twenty nine points and twelve rebounds. As well. Steph Curry stays hot, going fourteen of twenty four from

the field for thirty six points. Those guys continue to do it, and the Golden State Warriors sweep their way all the way through this far of the NBA Playoffs. They are now twelve and oh going into the finals. Donnie Burns, the freight train keeps rolling. Yeah, and they're winning by a margin of like almost sixteen and a half points. And here's the thing. You know, we're talking about how the team needs to run through Steph Curry to be you know, more effect But at the same time,

Kevin Durant is still extremely efficient. Ten of thirteen, that was his big thing. He gets all these scoring titles, but you have to you can't forget he is very efficient in the way he scores. And you know, Clay isn't playing up to par. But for a guy that has scored thirty some odd points in one quarter, you can never leave him on guarded. So they're just it's just real hard to, you know, kind of prepare for them, and they're an extremely underrated defensive team. That's true. That's true.

And I was gonna bring up Clay, remember I brought it up yesterday that he needed to get rolling. He only went three of thirteen from the floor. But you're absolutely right in this. You know what else he did though in that series. He took Patty Mills out of the game. You know, and he is still and I and and you know, I think Van Gundy even made

the point on air last night. You know, to the young players out there, you see Clay Thompson, right, and he's clearly struggling with his shot over the last few weeks, but it does not take him out of the game. There are other ways to contribute, whether that's defense, whether that's rebounding, and big shout out to Clay for continuing to affect the game even though he is going through a slump. On the other side of things, I want to ask you a couple of questions about these San

Antonio Spurs, Donnie um. One, we'd be remiss here on the Fantasy Freestyle if we did not tip our collective cap to Manu Genovoli. Manu genovally, you know former you know all star in this league, won a gold medal in two thousand and four. And then, you know, as this team the Spurs evolved over the last decade, accepted coming off the bench. This is a guy who's likely a Hall of Famer who agreed to come off the bench for years because he knew it was, you know,

for the greater good of the team. I want want to take my cap to Manu whether this is his last game or not, and it looked like it might be. I mean, he has he is turning forty. They did do the ceremonial like start him this game, get him off the floor so everybody can applaud him. So it might be. But I want to throw my name in the ring of others that are tipping our cap to Manu genobli Um. Let me ask you, though, something we

talked about Clay Thompson. Now he's not getting going really the next like the Golden State Warriors will not be playing again until a week and a day from now. Okay, they don't play actually more than that a week in two days from now, June one, Thursday June one is their next game. Does this eight day break. Do you think this helps a guy like Clay Thompson or does this keep it in his head for over a week? I don't know. You you can't really tell by his

on the court actions. He's very you can't really tell his emotions. He's very stone faced. He's almost like Kauai in the sense that you can't really tell what they're thinking. All I know is that man could score. And I've I haven't seen you know, I've been watching basketball almost all my life, and I've never seen someone when they get hot like Clay Thompson. I mean, that ball is

on fire. So like I said, it's exactly so. Like I said, he's in a slump right now, but he can go off for fifty and we know he can so. And like you said, he's effective on the defensive ent, and that's why they're so good. He doesn't give up. So you know, let me ask you something. When you saw the plus minus with Kawhi Leonard, you know, in the first half and then you know for the rest

of the series. I know you don't. We don't have to go back to this, but could an argument have been made that Zaza Bechulio was the Conference Finals m v P. I mean, by the chance that night you probably could have said that, you know, just how that happened. And I also he has another thing that I think is interesting now with the Golden State war Warriors going to the NBA Finals, likely against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and

you know, you know what else this rest does. It gives head coach Steve Kerr about nine days to maybe get ready to be on the sidelines. But what karma would it be, Donny if now Mike Brown he has to face the Calves in the finals. You know, I think he's you know, even in this interim role, maybe like coached his way to getting a getting a new head coach job. You know, think about what Bruce Arena is, Uh, Bruce arians did in Indianapolis, you know when Pagano was out.

You know, he got himself a head coaching job. Maybe Mike Brown is coaching his way into a different head coach job in the league next season. What do you think about that? Done? I could see that the only thing is not a Warrior type team because if you remember when Steve Kerr was absent, he really was trying to go to the post game, which is not the Warrior's strength, which told me, hey, he's not for this scheme exactly. That's not the scheme he needs to be in.

I could see more of like we keep going back to the Bucks. I love the bass like that, I mean with some young talent, but that that can bang down low um that running gun is really not his thing. I mean, I'm not too high on Mike Brown as a coach, but I mean I could see him get get some looks from other teams, but likely in the Eastern Contents. Definitely moving on to tonight's game. We've got Game four in Cleveland, and you know, people were shocked.

Remember we were talking about how both the Calves and the Dubs would sweep their way to the NBA Finals. That is clearly not the case right now. I'm gonna tell you something though. We talked about how Lebron got salty at reporters after the lost, things like that. I think Braun is going to do something special tonight done. I think Lebron is gonna do something special. I don't know what it's going to be, but I think he's gonna do one of the following two things you already done.

I think he's either gonna score forty five, or he's gonna get over fifteen assists. Tonight, I'm gonna say he's gonna get over thirty points, ten rebounds, and he's gonna have one of those incredible behind you know, one of those I loved you saw a KD with the double chased out blog last night. That was good stuff, all right, So we'll keep an eye out on that. But honestly, don after a couple more games, we may not have much basketball to talk about until a week we're gonna have.

You know, I know we'll find a way to keep you involved. Don't worry about it, Donnie Burns. Also keeping it moving here before we go to break. One thing I want to mention, Uh, Connor McGregor signed his end to the deal. Connor McGregor signed his end to to contract, and now we're working on Floyd, and all of a sudden,

Floyd's gotten real quiet. Connor McGregor over the weekend on Twitter, you know, he added all his UFC belt and his newborn child, like using the championship belts kind of like as a playpen for him and being like, yo, now it's time to go get some boxing ones. He also was working out, you know with his you know, with his trainer. What have you had it on on Twitter? Also solid work. Now sign your en, Floyd or you're just a mouth And I'm starting to agree with him.

It's signed to put up or shut up. You need to defecate or get off the pot, my friend. I think it's going to happen, But I'm telling you, I am skeptical. I think Connor McGregor is better prepared for this fight than you think. We'll talk about that, of course in the days, weeks and months leading up to this fight. If in fact it does happen. When we come back, we're gonna put the fun and functional sports radio you talked about, no basketball, We've got quotes from

the Big Three League and a lot more. That's your boy, Dame Martinez here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know what it is, just boit Dane Martinez speeds the spitting statistician holding you down on the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. A couple of scores from around majors already so far today Angels up on the Rays to nothing in the second inning the Mets all over the San

Diego Padres. They have kicked out Julius Chasin already in the first inning. They have batted around and the Mets are up seven nothing on the Padres in the first thinning. Indians and Reds tied at one in the second inning, and uh the only other scores we have in the Nationals up to nothing on the Seattle Mariners that after two innings. Important to let you guys know that that game in Chicago that I told you there was some weather, it has the start of that game has in fact

been delayed, as you know. Also here on Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, I'll tell you that you guys can participate all the time. Right, you can holler at me at eight four four eight fourth three six seven nine. The other thing you could do is we always put up a poll question. Right. You can get us at F and T s Y Radio on Twitter. You could also ask me any questions or follow me at Spitting Speeds as another way to join the show.

Because Yo, I'm a man of the people. So one of the things I wanted to tell you guys yesterday our poll question was about trading Isaiah Thomas, and sixty of you guys said yes that the Celtics should consider trading Isaiah Thomas. You know, he'll be coming off a hip surgery, likely he'll be thirty years old. He'll still be five nine unless they do something you know, transformative in that surgery. And Donnie Burton's I know you were

disagreeing with the people. You thought that they should not trade the heart and soul and you know, dynamic player of the Celtics. I gotta reply here on Twitter, uh shout out to Joey man gwid. He says, this, tell me what you think about this, Donnie. He says, Isaiah Thomas is not the answer, and that the answer A k Alan Iverson is the only player in history that can carry a team by himself, being that short that he went to the finals and even stole a game

from the Lakers. He's saying, Isaiah Thomas is Matt Allen Iverson and they should trade him. What do you think about that? Literally makes no sense because that's not where we're talking about trying to get another piece for the man. We know he scores twenty nine points per game. That's not the problem here. The problem here is the Celtics need another score. If you were to trade Isaiah Thomas Way, that's minus another score and you rookie, and at that

point you're moving backwards. They want to win now. It's not oh, we'll win you know in two more years. They want to win now. So you have a guard that could already score, you need one more trade that pick. Get Jimmy Butler, get Paul George. Let's go to the finals. Let's go to the Eastern Conference finals. Let's go to the NBA finals. Remember I'm not moving backwards, and I'm telling you I think they're gonna also wind up signing Gordon Hayward in the off season as well to try

and you know, stack him up. The last thing I wanted to mention before we get into uh putting the fund and functional sports radio. I heard last night also Paul Millsap is gonna opt out and become a free agent. Now he's in the Eastern Conference. When we talk about you know, Eastern Conference, I know we've been real high on the Bucks and how all the guards should go to the Bucks. The other team I'm really high on and think would be a great destination for a big man.

Would be that team in our nation's capital. What if Millsack wound up with the Wizard and you like that, you can put him in the starting line. If you could have Mark Keith Morris come off the bench. The wizard struggle is their bench. Their bench is not good, so that builds depth, so I would And I love Paul mill Step too, so that would be I was just about to say before you said that that would be the greatest fit because their bench is so bad

and they really could have done so. I thought they were gonna make more noise in the playoffs, but I mean John Wall and Bradley Bill can only do so much. Like I said that, they have a week bench soles. See, let's see, let's see. We need to tell yo tomorrow, Uh, tomorrow, we gotta tell our night Owl. We gotta tell the night Owl to start making this board for us. Of all the predictions, maybe you could have its own Twitter page.

You think, uh Fantasy Freestyle Predictions could be its own Twitter page, and then we could put on, like you know, all of our bets like Ted get Jr. And all these other predictions that we're making. You think the night Owl would be able to do that? For us, maybe I think can all right, let's uh, let's if he wants to host the show and gets to hop and get some burn on air, he's gonna have to do some things. You hear me, night Owl, You hear me,

night Owl. Well, one of the other things, one of the other things we gotta do is start to talk about something we have been covering, you know, pretty much like Flies on Poop more than any other show, certainly on this network and anywhere, and that is the Big

Three League. Remember, as we've talked about it, we're now about a month away from Sunday June at the Barclays where these teams, The Power, the Three Headed Monsters, the Try State, the Trilogy, all them boys are going to be competing in their three on three, the inaugural Big Three season, and um, these guys. Remember we we played

a clip before about how competitive these guys were. You know, we talked about how ironically Charles Oakley had to pay peacemaker as there was a little bit deef at the combine. These guys are really going at it, whether it's for like their legacy, whether it's for you know, perceptions of who they are and how they played in the league guys like kwambe Brown or just bragging rights. And let me tell you something. Somebody who is already talking is

uh Corey mcghetty. Corey mcgetty was on and someone was just kind of asking him about the Big Three in general, right and started talking about how Alan Iverson as a player coach and one of the big, you know, big names of this was really going to like, you know, do his crossover and all this stuff. And mcghetti was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, he's on three's company. I wrapped the power and he

started talking smack do we have that? Donnie Burns with Corey mcgetty was saying telling Allen Iverson, do not come in the lane in this three on three Big three format and AI with a spread floor three on three whoever shape? That's all I know already everybody's gonna be vulnerable. I'm gonna tell you. From post stops to weigh out there, I'm tunny. It's it's it's gonna be something to see. It looks forward. You don't have to be in shape

across that thing. Osten when you when you get this right here, it's like that I'm ready, all right, there. It is so so mcghetti is ready. He's giving him like the forearm shiver. You think guys are gonna be able to go down the lane and not expect to get bumped down. I mean, we got guys like Charles Oakley and Rick Mahorne as the coaches. You think we're gonna see any flagrant two's in this league? Done? No,

it's gonna be pretty physical. I think they're gonna try to you know, they're trying to change kind of how people watch the NBA right now, and they're gonna let it be a little physical. I mean, I don't know how these refs are gonna really ref these games, but they're gonna let some things go. And this is uh, they might be watching Corey mcghetti, though, I'm saying, I mean, you know there's some there's some other players in this I mean there are some dude, there's some big boys

in this league. Man O'Neill, Jermaine O'Neill. I'm thinking about guys like Ivan Johnson. Um, there's a couple out there that you better watch if you bring it to the house, even you know, even your boy in the ballhogs Don, Brian Scalabrini, right, we should see. I got one question for you though, and you know we're coming full circles. We just talked about millsap Um, you know, opting out and becoming a free agent with the Atlanta Hawks. You know, the Atlanta Hawks are looking for a new GM and

some new other executives in their front office. And you know, one of the guys that's a finalist for that role is actually a key player of your favorite team in the Big Three. Chauncey Billups is on the short list for that Hawks front office job, and I know you love him with the Killer Threes, him and Stephen Jackson, I think is one of the favorites to do work

in this league. I guess my question for you is, if you're Chauncey Billups and you get offered a front office job with the Atlantic Hawks, do you opt for the Hawks or do you stick? Do you stick with your you know, Killer three obligations. I mean, here's the thing. Ever since Chauncey left the league, I thought he's been

a great analyst. I love watching him at halftime and he's got a lot of good things to say, and I wouldn't mind him in a franchise that really you know, they've had great players and they have they usually have good depth. They just need Chauncey would be a good fit for that. I mean, he's been doing great things outside of you know, actually playing the game, and I'd kind of like to see that. We shall see, we shall see. It's a winner, that is for sure. That

is for sure. Mr Big Shot definitely doing this thing with those Detroit basketball guys of the you know, the early and mid aughts when they beat those Kobe and Shack teams. Even um. We got a poll question up on that F and T s Y Radio, Twitter and at Spitting Speeds. My question is, if you listen to Fantasy Freestyle, we talked about sports gambling and legalization of that. We've also talked about marijuana and pain pills and the

opioids and pain management for athletes. So I asked you, with changing perceptions in society these days, what do you think will be legal first? Will it be sports gambling or will it be marijuana. I also put out another option of that poll, which was wait, they're illegal. If you want to you know, if you want to be as smart alec as they say, you could vote for that as well. Uh, Donnie, at this point, what do you think the people are voting? We kind of talked

in the control a little bit. I mean that it's like I'd say, probably the marijuana just because it's more relevant topics talked about now. Um, I mean, but either can swing both ways. I would have to go with marijuana probably right now. That is what is ahead of the people that have answered the poll say, in fact, marijuana. So we will check in on that a little bit later on and also later on this week. Remember I've been doing that series with Kyle Turley. He did a

big thing out of ice um chasing strains. I have part three of that coming up later on this week. Pat Kyle Turley talks about a number of current and former NFL players who share, you know, really somewhat sad, somewhat gripping stories of their own trials and tribulations with the chemicals that they have been prescribed. So keep on the eye for that. You know, it is never going to be legal. That is um, you know, lewd public acts.

And so that brings me to my next story here as we put the fun in functional sports radio, Donnie, I don't know if you remember or if you were producing the show for It was Chris Bavona at the time. But late in the football season, I broke a story about a security guard for the San Diego Chargers that got arrested because there was footage of him, in essence, standing on the sideline with his hands down his pants watching the cheerleaders, and he actually got um arrested for uh,

you know, publicly masturbating. Do you remember this, Donny? Maybe so I would No, No, I was definitely the producer that I can't forget that. So so listen. The Chargers have moved from San Diego to l A, but we have hard justice for Chargers fans. The guy he has pleaded guilty to uh, you know, I guess whatever. It's called public masturbation or you know, lud acts. He was whatever, right, So, uh, the man pleaded guilty to perform that's what I was performing,

a lewd act in public. That was the charge. Okay, San Diego prosecutors charged him kind of months ago, but they recently sentenced him. He's getting three years of probation and counseling. But check this out. He will not have to register as a sex offender and he's already voluntarily surrendered his security license. I think he needs to register as a sex offender. Remember I was talking about this when we had the thing going on with the N word in Fenway. I'm all about public shaming of people.

Put the dude's name in the paper with a picture of what he was doing. But whether you agree with me or not, it is justice for the Chargers fans. Um. I want to keep it moving. We do not have that much time left in this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle, So one thing I wanted to get with. I've been talking about how everyone is cutting the cord. I've been talking about how, you know, ESPN has been losing its viewers, and ESPN came out with his new fall lineup and

they are in essence. They are in essence in racing debate all over the place. Okay, Like you remember how MTV used to show music videos and then they stopped and was all sorts of other stuff. Well, ESPN is basically gonna stop giving sports news. Okay, their schedule. They're

gonna have you know, Mike and Mike has done. They're gonna have Mike Greenberg on for three hours in the morning, then they're gonna have you know, Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman on first take for an hour, for two hours, then Boumani Jones and Pablo Tory they get their own show. Then Rachel Nichols gets her own show. Then they've already turned you know, the Sports Center, the Six with Mike and Jammel into a more debate kind of concept, I'm

telling you. And they're doing this strategically because they know now everyone's got an app, everyone's got podcast, everyone's got a stream, and you know, they don't have as much actual games anymore. I see on local cable providers, the YES Network, s N, y F, Fox Sports, that's where the games are. So they are actually making a conscious decision to renovate their whole schedule, their whole approach, and they are in fact embracing debate. That is what you

will see when you are on ESESPN going forward. Opinion greater than sign news. But here's the deal. If you really want that opinion, I got the place for you, Donnie Burns. You know what it is. It's the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I give you opinions, I give you highlights, I give you everything you need to win your leagues and win net cash, all the big time stories, and I give you the opinions that you need. We keep it hot, so hot, you sweat

that steam. And I understand guys, you're on your Netflix, you're on your Hulu. ESPN is not the place for sports anymore. Instead, you need to come to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network because you got everything. We have the app for you and it's all free. That's all you need. That's what I gotta say. When we come back, we'll check in on the scores, we'll check in on the poll, all that and more. I'll preview what's going on the rest of the week. It's big things for Fantasy Freestyle.

Come on right back, Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Of course our sports byline affiliates as well. Dame Martinez holding you down, Ah, what's going on? Everybody should avoid Gaine Martinez here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, of course, all our sports byline affiliates around the country and with the American Forces Radio Network, making Fantasy Freestyle truly a global show. Reads her up now three one on the Indians.

In the bottom of the second padres trying to come back. They've put up two runs of their own, still down those seven to two to the Mets in the second ending, the Angels up on the raise to nothing, Pirates up on the Braves early on, and that one after one, one nothing Pittsburgh. There, Rockies over the Phillies to nothing. Right now, Nationals adding the third inning, Nationals are up

to nothing on the Mariners. We are still scoreless in the Bronx, Royals and Yankees scoreless in Baltimore with twins and the Orioles and the like I told you in Wrigley Field, the Cubs and the Giants, so are still delayed that because of rain. Right now, forty five percent of you guys think that marijuana is gonna become legal before sports gambling. I don't know how I feel about that. I think they're both gonna become legal sooner than you think.

Keep it locked though. On the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Up next, we have the Fantasy Black Book with my man Joe Pizza Pia. He's gonna be giving you everything you need to win your leagues and win that cash as well. I wonder if he's gonna talk about Matt Adams and how He's a great play in that ballpark, replacing Freddie Freeman left handed power. I'm telling you he is only four percent owned in season long leagues, and

he went for on fan duel tonight. I'm telling you go out and consider Matt Adams for as cheap power at first base to replace Freddie Freeman. Um, these guys are gonna be holding you down. Later on this week, Like I told you, we're gonna have some good stuff. We're gonna fin finish our series with Kyle Turley about the pain management for some of the players in the NFL. I also I got a great interview coming up with Um the president and founder of King's County Tennis League.

Good things going on with their serve children in Brooklyn learning how to play the game of tennis and get mentored as they do it. That's gonna be really exciting. I also, you know, we're gonna continue to check in on the NBA playoffs. If the Cleveland Cavaliers hold up to their end of the deal and get that three pet that trilogy, the rubber match that everybody wants to see. So that's it for me. Come on back tomorrow. We'll get into all that from a man, Donnie Burns, The

Love Doctor. This is your boy, Dane Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician holding you down on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Stay tuned though, for The Fantasy Black Book and My Man Joe Pisappila up next. I'll see you tomorrow, Speeds the spitting Statistician. I'm out,
