Top 5 Dead or Alive, Rangers Preview, and NFL rappers!

winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Back in better than ever after a little Vegas vacation. I got my boy Chris Bavona with me on the ones and twos helping us blow up like a Samsung seven so hot that we sweat steam hot to death like Corey Stringer. Thanks. I haven't gotten a thank you for the new open Chris like it. Thank you so much. We get a little star in there as well, always doing it big things and check it out this hour. If you want to get at me you candidate four four eight four three

six eight seven nine. We're gonna have some polls up on that f n T S Y Radio Twitter handle. Of course you could follow me at spitting speeds. I'm also joined in the cipher today with my boys sports with Z that corresponded on the Sports Guru app Let's Talk Sports. He's gonna join me to um preview the Texas Rangers a little bit later on as Speed Spotlight wraps up just in time for Opening Day. You also know, Chris, we have not talked about this big moves in the

TV Greatest of All Time tournament. We'll talk about that a little bit later on, but we get it started as usual. Top five dead or alive here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Give you a little news and notes here first in Major League Baseball, as you get into Opening Day, some of you guys may still not have drafted yet. Do not draft Drew Smiley, or at least drop him down your boards. He'll be out for the next six

to eight weeks with a left flex or strain. Mariners GM Jerry to Poto says, uh, he didn't actually look the same After the World Baseball Classic. A number of people got hurt in the World Baseball Classic. As a Yankee fan, Deeed Gregorious was one of them as well. J D. Martinez finally is moved to the d L so if you have drafted him, you can finally move him to your d L spot, giving you that roster spot. He's got that Liz Frank Sparing. He's probably gonna be

out until May. Ricky n Alasco has been named the opening day starter for the Los Angeles Angels. I gotta tell you, if Rickyn Alasko is your opening day starter, if he is your ace, you're gonna get stacked against in DFS coming up real soon. They're playing the Aids on opening Day. Maybe Chris Davis should be in your lineups there. Um. Bob Melvin actually says the Oakland A's may go closure by committee. If you remember, on yesterday's show, I had my boy Mike Repberg as a fantasy freestyle

correspondent as we previewed the Oakland A's. He said that his best bet was gonna be on Ryan Madson and then maybe Doolittle. Don't sleep. It could also be Mr Cassilla over from the San Francisco Giants staying in the Bay Area. I will say this, though, one of those, probably two of those guys, will get traded in this Major League Baseball season. Okay, these guys all have experience, They also have John Oxford on that bullpen, who also

has uh closer experience. So think about contending teams that might still be in the market. You know, the Nationals just announced their closer recently, and we'll we'll see about that. I think those guys could be on the move throughout the season. Matt Garza is going on to the d L for the Milwaukee Brewers with a strained right groin. Remember, interestingly enough, especially a few Fantasy Baseball players out there this year new changes to the collective bargaining agreement. Uh,

the ten day del not the fifteen day del. Remember about that. But show Walter also now says that Chris Tillman he will make not one, not two, not three, but four rehab starts before rejoining the Baltimore Orioles. And in uh, you know, injury news that I'm personally happy about for a few reasons, because this guy was kind of a beast and then has been besieged by injuries the last couple of years, and also because he was a spec a little late round drafte that I had

in a draft. Earlier this week, Tito Francona confirming that Michael Brantley will be on the opening day roster for the a L defending champion Cleveland Indians. Those are things I like to see. News and notes also in the NFL, and I think it's interesting because, Um, yesterday, remember we had a poll question up which of these two guys will actually play five more years? Tom Brady or e g ro Suzuki, both of them saying they wanted to play five more years. That was our poll question yesterday.

Today we get word Drew Brees says that he wants to play until he's forty five years old. Drew Brees is only thirty eight years old. I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm gonna tell you something though. These are the comments of a man who knows he's in the last year of his current deal and he's looking for

a new deal. But we'll see if we could do it. Um. Also news out of Cleveland, they're saying that Corey Coleman, the first round draft pick last year, he would actually move to the slot if the NFL decides to re state Josh Gordon. Now, remember they signed Kenny Britt in the off season in free agency. That's an outside X kind of receiver. Josh Gordon is also an outside kind of receiver. This is only days after saying they think Corey Coleman is now like the man in Cleveland. I

think this puts a severe damper. And we're hearing a lot about oh, maybe Josh Gordon will get reinstated. This is kind of a where there's smoke, there's fire. I would not be surprised if Josh Gordon actually does make his way back to the Cleveland Browns at some point. Another poll question we had earlier on in the week was this idea of who would you want as your backup quarterback? Would you want like r G three, J

Cutler or this guy Colin Kaepernick. And at this point, I'm telling you, I think he's just blackballed from the league. Now there's news sources um gms and owners are potentially worried that he's a vegan. Come on now, come on now, and they accredited his weight loss last year to him being a vegan. I thought that was actually healthy. I actually thought it was a good thing. You know, like,

isn't that basically what Tom Brady's wing? But when Tom Brady do it, does it it's because he could play until he's fifty, Because he's the Golden Boy with his inflated balls. But when Cap does it, you know, because he does it from a kneeling position, all of a sudden, he can't, you know, find his way into the league. Gino Smith's got a job. Colin Kaepernick can't get a job. All right, whatever. You know, those are polls from previously

in the week. My man Chris Bovona has put up the polls for today, and I'm gonna even bring in my man uh Sports with z from that sports Guru app because I know he's a basketball guy and I know we're gonna be talking about this. Here's the straight up question. Who is the NBA m v P. We've been talking about this all week because you know, Russell Westbrook is going absolutely Banana's triple doubles. He's gonna average a triple double, fifty seven point triple double. But then

you've got James Harden. Then you got James Harden who is leading the league and assist and it's also very close to a triple double. And to be quite honest, it depends on what you talk about in terms of value, because James Harden has been sick and it's perfect for that. Mike D'Antoni system that they're running down there, the perfect for the perfect pick and roll kind of player. I also have as options Lebron James because I mean every year, this is like when Michael Jordan's was in the league.

Like he he was the best player every year. But you know they throw call Malone one, they throw a key malage on one, whatever the case. Maybe, um, you know, Lebron jameson is always be in the conversation. And that's my fourth. Um, don't sleep on Kawhi Leonard Kauahi Leonard, the two time defensive Player of the Year. This guy doing it on both ends for the San Antonio Spurs, the number two seed in the West. Before I go to the poll, let's bring him my man sports with

z over here. Who's your NBA MVP at this point? See, it's always a tough decision with that when you have two players on the top of their game. Right now, Westbrooken hardness. In my opinion, I gotta go with Westbrook, right, you gotta go at Westbrook just too too hot for that. I think that thirteen and eleven he put in and overtime, I think that was like his drop the mic moment on it. But here's the thing. Here's the thing, just for just for context, right, And I love Russell Westbrook

and all. I love that, but like he's just kind of just a one man show, and it's almost like the team is allowing him to do that, just like in pursuit of this Oscar Robinson not to check this out Alan Iverson, And I said this yesterday, Alan Iverson in the season where he had the most shots of his career. Alan Iverson in that season had nineteen hundred and forty shots and he played forty two minutes a

game in that season. Russell Westbrook this year, while only playing thirty four minutes a game, has already more than that nine hundred and seventies seven shots. I mean, like the thing is like, yeah, I mean I love him and all, but we'll see right now, that poll is up there on that f N T S Y radio Twitter handle, and uh, Russell Westbrook right now is your choice as well if we look at it right now, Russell Westbrook with six of the vote, Harden onlycent of

the vote. I'm surprised by that. I thought it'd be a little bit closer. I thought it'd be a little bit closer, but we just put that poll up, so we'll keep track on that throughout the show. The other one I want to get into is, uh, you know, on my show on Monday coming up, we're gonna be right before the National Championship. As you know, we go into the final four this weekend down there in Phoenix. Um, what matchup in the final four will we be talking

about as we reconvene here on Monday. Will it be Gonzagravis Oregon, Gonzagravis U n C. South Carolina versus Oregon, or a Battle of the Carolinas. I think this is very interesting. I'm thinking about what rundown I build regardless of it. You know, because at the beginning of this tournament, at the beginning of this tournament, you could go ahead and check the tape. I've been saying for a while that the best coast is the West Coast, and the

best ball is being played out west. However, not the ball of Alonzo and LaVar and so being Gonzaga and Oregon could be very very interesting. I also think this Battle of Carolina could be very interesting. North and South Carolina. Um, what will they do in the bathrooms? If that's the just got changed, so maybe a will and facto there, But um, what do you think, what do you think is gonna happen in Final four this weekend? Well, I'm still on the bracket, hunt man. So you gotta ride

with them. You gotta ride with them, and regardless of what you do in the bathrooms, whatever do in the bathrooms, and actually gonna lose. Okay, So you're looking for a Battle of Carolina, Battle of Carolina. All right, we shall see, but you can get at us right now if I check it on the pole right now. I gotta tell you, Um, most people think that it will be Gonzaga versus U n C. That's the chalk right, the one seeds making

it there. Most people have Gonzaga advancing, and uh, most people think that you and see will move it on. Keep it moving though. Here Top five that are alive on the Fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I want to get into this a little bit. One of the things we've been talking about all week, and Chris Bavona, I'd love to get your thoughts because you were just in Las Vegas, right So we've been talking

about this Raiders move. We've been talking about this Raiders move for a little bit, um and I have new information to bring to the to bring to the Fantasy Freestyle listeners. Chris yesterday. What we were talking about it is like, what do you do if you're an Oakland Raiders fan, If you're an Oakland Raiders fan, do you

cheer for this team? Do you buy season tickets? You give them the money to support this team, because unlike the Rams and unlike the Chargers, this team is on the precipice of contending for a you know, an NFC championship, potentially Super Bowl, especially in the next two years, as Car moves on, as Mac moves on. You know. So if you're a Raiders fan in l A, do support the team? Do you protest? You know? That was the

whole question we had. We've been talking about the Raiders for a lot this week and check this out new information I read UH and dead Spin the U The Raiders actually refinance their thing with Oakland Alameda Coliseum so many times, and they were gonna do the PSL That's

how they're gonna pay for it. They didn't sell enough PSLs and with the interest, um, they were on the hook for three fifty million dollars, so they refinance their loans right for that that the taxpayers are having to pay, and now they have to pay this until two thousand and twenty five, regardless of if the Raiders are there or not, they have to pay. The taxpayers will now have to pay thirteen million dollars. The county has to make that up in tax money every year from now

until two thou and regardless. So maybe if you was a Raiders fan that I was like, no, no, not, okay. I'll still go out and support the team. I'm gonna cheer for them. I'm gonna wax poetic and nostalgic about them. I'm gonna relish every opportunity I can. Does it change your mind knowing that your tax dollars are still going to repay the refinance bill for the Colisseum when it was originally done for Al Davis, and you're gonna be on the hook for that until two thousand and Chris,

how does that make you feel? So? As a Los Angeles Raiders fan, excuse me because you said l A. That's actually where most of the Las Vegas fans are from. Most of the Vegas Raiders fans are from Los Angeles. They didn't want the Raiders in Los Angeles. They're like, no, we want a reason to go out to Vegas. So this is great. Like this from from a Los Angeles Raiders perspective, I think it's great. I think it's amazing for them. For the Oakland Raiders fans, I think that

this is absolutely terrible. It's a very sad day for them. Not only that, if I was an Oakland Raiders fan, I would give up. I would give up team football and I just become a fantasy football fan. Interesting. Interesting, But check this out. Oakland doesn't want them either. Oakland doesn't want them there either. Check this out. I have quotes now from the executive director of what is known I didn't even know this existed, something called the Oakland

Alameda County Coliseum Authority. These are the people that actually run the stadium and actually execute the lease that they have. The executive director, a guy named Scott McGibbon, says, I would say to you, with the highest level of confidence, my opinion and the recommendation of my board members, there's no way we have an appetite for the third season here in Oakland. That would be the two thousand nineteen

season before they actually move. He goes on to say, He goes on to say, we have two more years of lease options right now, but it's actually financial to lead to our benefit if we didn't exercise the options, and and even if they didn't play here in two thousand seventeen or two thousand eighteen, they're trying to get out of the lease. They want no part of this because they don't want it's protesting outside. They don't want God forbid them to be even better and then walk away.

You know this sort of thing. It's real bad. I think they're gonna wind up in San Antonio, to be quite honest, I think they're gonna wind up in San Antonio. Or I think they're gonna wind up playing a lot of games in Mexico City, you know what I'm saying. I can see that happening. To remember, the Saints want to Sat Antonio for a little while after the Katrina you know. So, I I don't think it's gonna be a good scene down there in Oakland. I think it's

really really bad. And I'll tell you what, um, Chris, you mentioned that Raiders fans, you know, to just become fantasy football fans instead, I think what they are gonna wind up doing. To be quite honest, I think they're gonna become Miami Dolphin fans. And here's why. Stephen Ross, the Dolphins owner, he was the only one that voted no on this move. Okay, Stephen Ross, it went thirty

one to one. Stephen Ross is the only guy who said no. And and and you know why in my opinion, because Stephen Ross spent five hundred million dollars of his own money to renovate the Dolphins stadium. And now basically what Mark Davis is looking forward is that corporate welfare, you know. So it's either that or here's another idea, and I want to get your take on it. Mr Chris Bovona and my Man Sports with Z. Also, now, with the Raiders moving to Vegas, that means super Bowls

will be played in Vegas. That means less Super Bowls will be played in Miami. That's money out of Steven Ross's pocket. So not only does he have less Super Bowls, but uh, you know, he had to put up five hundred million dollars to renovate his stadium. The Raiders, they just get to move somewhere else. And have the taxpayers

pay for it. I understand. I think you should ride with the only owner who voted no, that would be Stephen Ross and the Miami Dolphins going over to Miami because it's the same kind of spirit down there in Miami too. What do you think? What do you think, Zach? And I think it's you know, I was talking to an Oakland Raiders fan actually a couple of days ago, and he was telling me, you know, He's like, I'm you know, I'm an Oakland Raiders fan. I'm gonna be

a Raiders fan no matter what. But you know the way Miami handled you know, owners, I think owners should pay for their they Why are you giving the taxpayers that? That's ridiculous? For sure, for sure, I want to hear what you have to say.

I should have worn that tonight. Don't mess with Texas, right, all right? So check this out.

I got a couple of guys, Zach, that I want to ask you about, and my man Zactly, that correspondent for the sports Guru app does some real good work. Um. The first guy I want to ask you about is the guy with the sick right cross, and that's Roof Middle Door. He just signed a six year, forty nine and I have million dollar deal. I have a lot of questions about this, what it means for the entire team and implications. But first of all, do you like that deal? Because I gotta tell you something. I am

a little bit down on Roof Middle Door. How do you feel about old door? Down? As you know how I feel about Oh Man, he's gonna light it up next year, it's gonna be you think he's gonna light it up. I don't know. Amazing, he's amazing talent. My man is very volatile at the play. Twenty one point five percent strikeout rate. This is a guy who strikes out a lot, is very aggressive, does not walk three percent walk right. This guy is trying to hit bombs.

He hit thirty three last year. Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong, he does that. But I don't know what I hope for what a guy who's entering is what three season something like that. I hope I see better plate discipline out of this guy, And I don't know if that's going to be the case. You know, down there in Texas a free swinging club they are. That would be my concern that the thirty three home runs that he hit last year gets in his head kind of like Willie Mays, Hayes and Major League, and

then he starts thinking he's a power hitter. I don't know. I like the door. I don't know. There's something about him that just sparks that team um on on the field and off the field. I think he's a leader, a proven leader, and I think he'll get he'll get even better as time goes by. I think Beltrey is

helping that Withsten. So listen, maybe that means that no one needs a tough, rough, no doors head, because I know you can't touch you can't touch me, you can't truch belt Are you worried though, I'm a little worried about Beltrey too. I gotta tell you here's why. Listen. My man is turning thirty eight years old on April seven. Okay, my man already has a caffe injury. Barking at him like, yeah, he's doing some light jogging. They're gonna see if he

can get into a game. When you're gonna be thirty eight, you want to be a hundred percent going into the season. To have these nagging injuries, that doesn't cause you any concern. I mean it's rough. I mean he's get him there, you know, golden years. It's Karen playing third base. That's one of the probably the toughest positions in my opinion for baseball. I know people would fight me on that, but I think watching Beltrey, with the way he's been at third base the last couple of years, he's been

lights out stop stop defense. But you know, he's fifty eight hits away from three thousand. That's a big deal. I think it's a big deal. And he's he's the leader of that team, and he's gonna fight through it. He fights through it, he plays two injuries. He's a tough guy and cas. You know, so you're not concerned. You're not concerned. You're not concerned about BELI. I told you, I told you you wanted to wear his Don't Mess with Texas shirt coming off the Fantasy freestyle in the

Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know, what about? Um, what about let's go to the arms here? I mean you, Darvish now yet another year removed from his U t J surgeries and Cole Hamil's. I would stack these guys one two up against any other rotation in the American League. That's not my issue. My question is what happens after that? You know what happens after Darvish? What happened after you know Cole Hamil's in Game three of the series, Because you know, I'm we're gonna get to it a little

bit later. But I assume you project them to go to the playoffs again. I project him to win the West again. Okay, So if that's the case and they're gonna be and they're gonna be in a playoff series, who's starting Game three? What happens after? What happens after Hamiles?

And you see, that's the problem I'm actually thinking about for the um for the regular season as it goes on, who they're going to pick up, because that's what the Rangers do is m during like the middle, like before trade deadline, they always try to pick somebody up, which they are fair enough, that could be the Jo Kintanas of the world that are out there and available. They got a couple of guys coming back. Also, Tyson Ross, that was an acquisition. How do you feel about that? Tyson?

He's injury prone? So what's kind of a little scared of that, you know, that situation, you know, coming from San Diego and just to literally you know, they signed a one year deal on him. They'll see what's gonna happen. But I don't think he comes back till March. They're talking like they're saying his injuries still a little injured. I thought, okay, okay, may probably gonna be made for Tyson Ross. Probably gonna be made for Tyson Ross. But

what about these other guys. What what Andrew Cash and Colby lewis a j Griffin out of that group who fills out the back into this rotation. Well, Colby has always been that player. He's coming back. He had that he had that really bad. It was a neck injury or I'm not forget what it was exactly, but um, he came and he just came in and was the leader, that leader of that behind you know Hamill's and your Darvish and he's just been playing lights out. So he's

pretty old as well. I mean this team is not on there an older team. Um, this coming from a guy who's saying he thinks they're gonna win the AL West. Then I asked about all these people, like I'm a little bit worried about this guy. I don't know what they're gonna do. They still need to make a move. So where are the bright spots? Then, well, the bright spots actually their bullpen is going to be lights out in my bush. And Dyson coming off his um, coming

off his like, I mean, he looks great. And then the and he did look great in the BBC. I gotta caution though, for fantasy baseball players, you know, I talked about the different kinds of closures. To me, any closure that I'm gonna get needs to have over a strikeout per inning needs to have that quote unquote closure stuff. And Sam Dyson is not that guy. Last year only fifty five strikeouts in seventy innings. I'm looking for guys that I think can get over a k per inning.

Let me ask you something about this. They brought in Napoli right obviously, and and he's got some real power. But if I'm a little bit down on old Door, if I'm a little bit down on Beltray, find they'll be Napoli. But where else is this gonna come? Where else is the production gonna come? Is Jonathan luke Roix with a full season down? There is guys like Nolan Mazzarro. Do you expect bounce back seasons at guys like Shinshu Chu or Carlos Gomez? Where who else is producing for

this team? Who else do you think you can find a little bit later on in your drafts that might be a diamond in the rough? Well, I think, and they're talking to a lot about because we have jerks and profile still looks great in the WBC all the time. Also, but is there a home for him on this team? Well, they're talking to the first base would be a good place for him right now, because you know, it's just it just seems like he'll be I gotta teach him, obviously,

and he's he doesn't he wants to play. He wants to play infield, and they're giving a lot of outfield stuff, and you know, I think he's gonna be first base though in my opinion, we'll see other rest of season goes all right, fair enough, so Vegas. Vegas has the Texas Rangers over under for the season at eighty six

and a half wins. Judging off what I'm hearing out of you, Zach, You're gonna take the over because what we hear do on the Fantasy Freestyle speeds has been statistic and we help you win your leagues and win that cash. So there's a lot on the line here, is that. Uh, he's taking the over under on the season win total for the Texas Rangers over that. You gotta take the over on that if he thinks he's winning the a l West. Um, I gotta tell you something.

I have the Texas Rangers in the playoffs, but I do not have them winning the A L West that on, or I believe it goes to the Houston Astros. I'm big on Houston Sports Illustrated has them winning the World Series in two thousand and seventeen. That's what they said three years ago. Let's move on, though, because this is our last, our last, you know, speed Spotlight. As we get ready for opening Day here in the Major League Baseball season on Sunday, I want to give out our

big predictions. You know, Speeds has been telling you the over unders to take the big ones. You know, I like the Rockies over. I like the White Sox under in a big way. Um. I like the Pirates over. I've been giving them out at Speed Spotlight. But um, let's go to how you really make that cash when you pick the n L N l c S, A l c S and then the World Series. You could got a lot of futures odds out there right now. I'm gonna give you my NLCS right now, and then

I want to hear from you, Zach. I like the Washington Nationals. I like the Washington Nationals. I like the Washington Nationals in a surprise because I you know, listen, the Cubs look like on paper a great team, but for some reason, you know, I just I'm just gonna fade them. I'm just gonna be fading. I'm gonna be fading, just so you know, I'm gonna be fading both of last year's World Series participants. Um, I like them. I

think they're great teams, but I'm just fading them. I'm taking the Washington Nationals and I actually think, um, I actually it's it's not an even number year, but San Francisco Giants this year. I think bum Gardner and Quato in the same mold as what we just talked about with you, Darvish and uh Cole Hamils. I think that's a good squad. And at the professional team, I like with how they've organized. I think we're gonna get bounced

back in full seasons out of Hunter Pence. Um So I like the Washington Nationals over the San Francisco Giants in the n l c S. What do you like in the National League? See, I'm I'm actually rooting for the Nationals and that's gonna be a very good choice. Um. You know, I'm with these two, you know, one to punch. Just that's the way we're looking at it and I think, I know you. That's a safe that's a safe bet. I like that too. I also believe the Pirates can

make the playoffs. I like the Mets in the playoffs as the two wild cards in the A L. In the A L. Remember, I like the Houston Astros. I like the Houston Astros. Um. I like the Houston Astros to make the World Series. I'm gonna go hard on them. I'm gonna go hard on them. I think I think we're gonna see craziness out of Carlos Correa and Jose To. I think both of them get better. A few weeks ago,

you're on Fantasy Freestyle. You heard spitting statistician talking about how important of the move it was for Carlos Beltrand to go back to the Houston Astros and mentor some of these young kids. I think that's gonna be a big step. He was talking about working with some of these kids. He was talking about, UM, the steppy thing, UM Korea is gonna take. He's talking about how hungry Alto is to get even better. I think this is

the year George Springer puts it together. I think you're getting gonna get power in the middle of the lineup with guys like Beltray and guys like Gaddis and McCann. I don't like their starting rotation as much, but I do think they're gonna be the team that goes out and gets whoever the top starter is on the market in July. Okay, I like and I like to back in the open. I like the Houston Astros. I like the Houston Astros to beat the Cleveland Indians in the

a LC. Yes, I think the Cleveland Indians are a great team. I'm fading the Boston Red Sox. I think that's unraveling. I think David Price is hurt. I think Chris Sale has an adjustment period. I think Rick Porcello is fool gazzy. I think people believe in Andrew ben Attend a little bit too much. I am he's a He's a fool gazy Chris, He's a fool gazzo gaz What what is gaza means phony? That's right, He's a fool gaze. And in the World Series you have the

Washington Nationals winning it over the Houston Astros. How do you like that? Well, as we know, the Texas Rangers beat them fifty fifteen and four last season. So I'm not going in Houston to win the World Series at all, because that's how I am in Texas. We don't root against the other team. We don't root for the other teams. Um. So I'm gonna go Cleveland, and I'm gonna go um oh god, I'm gonna go Boston. I'm gonna Boston to take Cleveland. Tho, I'm gonna got in the World Series,

all right. So you got Boston in the World Series with the Washington Nationals, who you like winning it all in October. They just going on record here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Oh man, that's gonna hurt, but I'm gonna I'm probably gonna go to the the Nationals. We like that. We both like the Washington Nationals. You heard it here First Sports with z Speeds, the spitting statistician here on the Fantasy Freestyle. When we come back, we're gonna turn

Chris Pavona, I haven't gotten to speak you all week we've had big things down to the Elite eight. We're gonna talk about a preview, what's going on ahead? And I want to hear, uh, I'm gonna hear the Beavis and butt Head Muppet show that I did not get to hear from my man Scott Angle to all that

You're listening to the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sit to Watch Radio Network.

You could also find me at Spitting Speeds. Chris. I have not spoken to you in a while. You've been in Las Vegas. Congrats to you for all that everybody could use a vacation now and then, but um we had. We We went from sixteen down to eight this week without you,

and we got some big, big ups. That's big matchups that happened. So let me recap it with you, because I know you love this tournament almost more than almost more than I know I know, and I appreciate it. I don't even care about the nam exactly. This is the final four you need to worry about. On on Monday,

we started off in the sitcom region. Bro. We started off in the shitcarm region where we had the number one Seinfeld against the number five seed, curb your enthusiasm, and then number three seat Cheers against the number two seeds. The office and the chalk maintained, and in one seed Seinfeld and two seeds the office moved on. And you're gonna hear a theme here because remember Chris, how everybody

was trolling me about the seating. Yeah, I'm yeah, yeah, so the number so remember one in the number two seeds moved on, So someone seeded that region correctly. Okay, let's move on number. Then on Tuesday we did the animated region. What we had in the animated region was the number one seeds Simpsons against the Cinderella thirteen seated Looney Tunes. And then we had the two seeds south Park against the sixth seed Beavis and butt Head. And

guess what the chalk held true? And it was number one seeds since the number two seeds Southwark, someone seeded that region, right, But Chris, I wasn't here last week, and I think we had our very own Scott Angle previewing one of these matchups when Beavis and Button Actually he did too, Oh he did. Can I hear he did? The Beavis and butt Head versus Themuppet show? You know how about turning out to be very very close? Right? Yes, it was one of the It was one of the

closest matchups of the of the tournament. Before I get to the Beavis and butt Head promo, which is hysterical, Uh, this one's a little bit shorter. This was the Seinfeld promo. He did. Oh what they do? Okay? When what SEI felt was up against curby enthusiasm or a well, good times, I think it was up against good time. How did that worked out? Yeah, let's hear that. I don't understand. Boy, they call it good times. The poor they live in the projects, they have no money, and the father died.

How of these good time? Damn da damn, that's good stuff. That's good stuff. Out of my boy. The King's Scott Angle um and Seinfeld is still live. Seinfeld is still live in the U sitcom region. Now, I know he did something really that I wanted to hear from Beefs and Buttead on The Muppet Show, and Beevis and butt Head wound up winning that matchup, but only fifty one squeaked by. So maybe this, maybe this little intro had had something to do with it. Huh, I think it did.

And uh let's check it out. Okay, whoa they have us? We're gonna like bey in the Sweet sixteen or something? Is it not like a chick party? No, dumbass. Those were like for the shot callers and stuff ballers. Shot callers probably like gonna get paid and stuff by like that Dave Martinez. Dude, uh no, but any better pay up. I'm gonna smack the hell out of him. We're like going against poppets. Yeah, I gotta I gotta hand up there. But the FU party, whoa bables check it up. It's

like the frog and the pig. It's like Hermit the Frog and Miss Piggly Wiggly. Hey Frog, you're gonna like you're like Mark the Pig him Frog here, whoa babyless? Check it out. The Frog's got like a chick with him, but she's like a pig. Whoa hey baby? Would you like me to bring home the bacon? That doesn't Hi, we're gonna wear what we're gonna be day. Yeah. That

was absolutely incredible. Big props, big props Scott the King Angle, and we're gonna have to you know, rendezvous with him and get some other matchups and no. On Wednesday, we did the Reality Bracket and it was um the amazing race versus Real World road rules and the Jersey Shore against cops and bigges. Shout out against my homegirl Arellan

from the Las Vegas season of the Real World. She came on the show represented Real World Las Vegas through some shade at Tyra Banks and also gave props to the miss who is uh, you know, doing big things at WrestleMania, and it was Real World that's moving on. It's up against cops and you know, Chris Cops has had an incredible run in this entire tournament. Right they did beat Wait did you said right? They did beat Jersey Shore? Right? Cops beat Jersey Shore? Yeah, our regional

final in the reality is cops versus real world. Dane, you don't understand how many people I've been talking to about this tournament and telling them that, like I, that Jersey Shore has been on sort of a crazy run. It's been a Cinderella. It was the lowest. It was the lowest seed. Yeah, people were People were like coming up to me like, dude, what's wrong with people voting for this? Well, that's what I feel about cops still being around, you know. But that was the other thing too.

Everyone was like, yo, cops should have been like the number one seed. Wow, wow, Well, I mean, you know, listen, I was a great seeding committee with Sitcom's and Animated, but here was the five and the seven that make it out. And then listen that drama region, that drama region was stacked. I was hearing from Mike Blewett, I was hearing from Benny Riccardi. Everybody thought that these uh, these dramas basically should have been the final four themselves.

What we had yesterday and yesterday's vote, it was big time. We had The Wire versus Sopranos, and then we also had Breaking Bad against Game of Thrones and that was real big, That was real. That's what people are saying. But people then don't clearly understand that we have regions by genre. So you know, people, controllers are gonna troll what you're gonna do. But um, moving on was Tony

Soprano and moving on was Walter White. Wow. And so we have the two Seed breaking Bad after fifty of the vote beating Game of Thrones and the Sopranos moving on with fifty eight percent of the vote over Stringer bell Omar and Bubbles and the whole crew Avon Barksdale and them. You know, my my favorite show of all time is The Wire. But they got knocked out. So now we have the Elite eight and I sent out the brackets. I sent out the brackets. You can find

that at spitting Speeds on Twitter. Uh. So, let me know, who do you think? Who do you think it's gonna be our final four here? Guys? Uh, Chris, who do you think comes out of this? Who do you think has legs to maybe take it down? Okay? Through from the drama. I mean, this is so right now. That's when it because, like you know, I'm Italian and I'm from Jersey, so you know, I listen. I'm always I'm always about waking up this morning and get myself a gun.

That being said, I know who I'm voting for. I don't mind telling people who I'm voting for, who I want to win, and who I think is going to win. I think it's gonna be breaking back from the drama Cops, is gonna be from uh from what was the animated It's the Simpsons and South Park and South Park. I'm gonna I'm gonna big south Park because the Simpsons have just been skeeting by the Simpsons just beat Family Guy. But with the Simpsons just got by Looney Tunes, you know.

I mean, South Park has been rolling and then so you got you have you. I agree with you breaking bad Cops South Park? And then what seinfeld to the Office. I think Seinfeldt is gonna actually, I actually I'm not gonna. I'm I got a little bit of a Cinderella story with the Office. It's a two seed Cinderella, but somebody that will take down a number one seed that's supposed to be a dominant number woman seed in Seinfeld, I

think that we're gonna find out. We're gonna find out, Okay, and that's I'm going with the office, alright, all right, So I'm gonna go with Seinfeld. We're gonna have to see I think so. I think you're right, but I'm gonna pick that. I'm gonna play Devil's advocate and I'm going to fair enough, fair enough. So what we're gonna do here is we're gonna let it breathe for a little while. On Monday, we're gonna do our We're gonna do two of our regional finals no Fantasy Freestyle next

week on Tuesdayling a note for you. When we come back on Wednesday, we'll do the other regional finals that will give us our final four. We'll do the final four on Thursday, and then we will round a champion next Friday on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. How do you feel about that, Zach? What do you uh? Where do you think this one's gonna go? Who do you think is gonna be? Out of the eight that are left, who do you think is gonna take it home? Oh man, this is gonna be a

tough one. I'm actually gonna go I'm gonna go to Sopranos. That a breaking bagage. I just went on franto. Okay, so Sopranos in the final four. Um, I gotta go cops, Cops, Sopranos, Cops. I'm gonna go office office, and then what's up there? I'm sorry, Simpsons in South Bars in the South Park. I'm gonna go South Park. All right? You know, check this out. Follow us at spitting speeds. You can find out the brackets right there. We're gonna have a lot

of fun with this. Forget about the final four that you need to watch in Phoenix. The real final four happens on this Google document that I've got staring at me right in front of my face. We're gonna talk about it a little bit more on Monday, where we actually have these regional finals. When we come back, we're gonna put the fun in functional sports radio. We're talking a little bit of Levan bell, a little bit of

Martelliz Bennett. The San Francisco Giants are doing some real crazy things, and you would never guess who Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn is going to for advice, all that and more. I'm mean, boy, Dame Martinez speeds and spitting statistician. You're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know what it is. This is your boy, Dame Martinez speeds and spitting statistician. You're listening to the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports

Radio Network. I got my boy Chris Pavona with me helping us blow up like a Samsung seventies back he was in Las Vegas. We've had a lot of talk about Las Vegas on the show this week between the Raiders move. Shout out to my homegirl Arilon, who came on the show. We're pretending so we're gonna be talking about Vegas real quick. Um check this out, Chris aligned to this Raiders move. You know, here in our last segment here on the Fantasy Freestyle, we put the fun

in functional Sports Radio. And you know, Carillon, when she was on this week, said that she was not confident that the Raiders would be able to, you know, perform because of all the distractions out there, and I think the distractions are growing. Check this out, Chris, Um Dennis Hoff, who is the owner of the Bunny Ranch, the brothel that was featured in HBO Cothouse. He is going to open another brothel right outside of Vegas in the year

coincide with the Raiders. He's calling it Pirates Booty. And uh, all the Raiders and anybody team employees, anybody will have a fifty discount at Pirates Booty. Um. Do you think that's gonna make it easier or harder on those one o'clock kickoffs? Chris Um. I guess you'd have to ask Lawrence Taylor about that. That's true. That's true. He was known. He was known for trying to tire out his opponents in that kind of way the night before the game. Absolutely,

here's what I want to wander. Here's what I wondered though. In the NHL, the Las Vegas Golden Knights are set to start this upcoming season in the two thousand seventeen two eighteen season, nobody's building a brothel for them, you know, like, what's going on year? Well, only the Raiders get a brothel, Zach? What what? What? What is this? What is this? Um? You know, prejudice only for the NFL. Why can't the NHL teams get a little love. There's no love for

hockey anymore. Man. It's like, that's give him the brothel, like the never was, never was the love for the hockey. And it's it's just funny too, this love for this Raiders thing. It's like he's making a brothel for you, is he is? Absolutely so. I think it's gonna do well. Remember listening. I also think remember the Raiders in the a f C West. Las Vegas is actually perfectly positioned between Denver, Kansas City, l A. There's gonna be a lot of road fans. I'm telling you, I'm a Jets fan.

If the Jets are out there playing Vegas on the road, I think that's a great weekend. It would be a great trip. You know. I know, Zach, you're a big Cowboys fan playing Dallas. Oh yeah. Hey. Chris Bavona, one of the things we've been talking about all the time here on the Fantasy Free Style, which a boy speak. He's been in statistician on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We have been following Levy on Bell. We've been following Levy on Bell's rap career. We've been following

him when he did that song Focus. We so we we played a little bit when he went hard after Skip Bayliss. We even followed Levy on Bell as you know he's going to Ava Tarantino's prom because she got that six hundred retweets. But Levian Bell dropped another track from his post interview album, which, unbelievably, if you ask me,

is in the top ten on the iTunes store right now. Uh, let's play a little bit of his new track and then dissect that a little bit here as we put the fun and functional sports radio on the Fantasy Freestyle. This is called machine. Uh laid on me, Chris. Yeah, I'm going out to day. I'm going out today. I ain't got a doubt to day. The Moneys propped the day and I'm out like I'm run a ross to day. I ain't got no comp to day. I stopped to day. I made the money compensate because like girl to stay,

I don't need to contemplate. Let my crow shot to day. She ain't got to stop to day because my pets been getting out of shape of maybe a lot to day. If I can do that anymore, How do you feel about that? What's a what's Portunately, you gotta you gotta review of that. Um, I'm not going out to day to download that song. I'm not going out to day to download that song to one thumbdown, one thumbdown. I gotta tell you something. I mean, listen, whether it's okay

or not. Here's my bigger question, Levan, what are you doing? Bro? What are you doing? Man? Listen? I respect your creativity, I understand this, but remember last year you were suspended because of smoking weed. Two years ago, you missed the beginning because of your a c L Right, Like, what are you doing that? You just had groin surgery on March?

You had groin surgery less than three weeks ago. Levi on, I think the priority needs to be instead of bouncing around in your video, I think your priority needs to be a little physical therapy for the Steeler Nation and from my damn fantasy team. Okay, I have you in a keeper league. Ue. I'm only spending a third round pick for you in my keeper league this year. I want to make sure that that's good value. I know it's gonna be, but not if you're on the shelf

with a suspension. Not if you're on the shelf with this groin injury, Chris, like, is he like he's basically admitting suspension worthy behavior in this album? Left and right? I would think, right, Chris. The funny thing that the only thing I can think about is how much I hate trap music. Okay, yeah, that is like I know Corey Parson is a big fan of co Parson. I think it is so terrible. Okay, you don't like that purple drank, you don't like go into the trap house.

I think it's awful. Okay, let's contrast this. Well, let's contrast this then, Chris, because like Ayon Bell is not the only Nope Pro Bowl football player to drop some tracks this week. The Black Unicorn martell Is Bennett The Black Unicorn martelli Is Bennett has also dropped and the five track EP entitled I'm not a rapper, but some of my friends are. Chris, I know you decided you were going to play a track at random for us

to dissect and compare against Juice levy On Bell. Lay it on me, Chris here, and that's what we do, fantasy freestyle, Baby, lay it on me, crazy crazy? What up? Dukes Up, Step step Down, Thesaurs and Dyna mine, it's a new world. I'll get ready for a revolution. Staurs and Dyna mine, it's a new world. I'll be ready for a revolution. You better run, you can, you better rock. It's a new world. I'll be ready for a revolution down Stas and Dyna mine, it's the new world. It's

the new world. I made a hunted ground, spent that made it back again. I'm a munster, I'm not a man. Scals on, scales out the side of my head, not huntred seven eighty four point seven four ground. That's a ton of way to be breaking down, Burton, calculate the math. Yeah you want that, DNDST. Most of my friends are famous, So tell me what you think that makes me. Oh my god, I've had enough of this. Chris Bovita, we get with Chrispy Bona. We can take this off. M

it sounded Chris. I don't know what's your review here. I think it sounded like more similar trap music. Levy on Belbar tell Us Bennett, what kindred spirits in there? And there are genres of choice. He kind of sounds a little more like he's trying to be t pain, t pain. You think you think, you think that's auto tune right there. Oh, it has to be not necessarily. Don't think that like legitimate black unicorn right there, listen.

I think he needs me to be his producer. Okay, I can make I can make him and left Bell sound spend times better, Yo, you may the Fantasy Freestyle open sound like fire. You always put those beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. Yo. You keep it hot at a death like Corey Stringer. I got what I got a couple more minutes though, Chris. One thing I wanted to

talk to the listeners here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Dan Quinn, head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, as you know, they blew that lead in the Super Bowl, reports now that he actually has gone to Terry Francona and Steve Kerr for advice on how to cope with blowing huge championship wins or leads. Okay, um, he actually asked them. I gotta I find this interesting, because dan Quinn, what you

just needed to do is run the ball. And if you run the ball in uh, if you run while you're up big in baseball, it's kind of you know, unethical, you know, And if you run in basketball, they might call traveling against you. So I don't think I don't think these guys were gonna give you the right philosophy of what you should have done. You should have just run the ball. Okay, run the ball. That's what you should have done. But here's the thing. What advice can

they really give you? You know what I'm saying. The Indians and Terry Francona, they have not played a game yet, you know, they have not actually come back to action. And Steve Kerr, I mean he got Kevin Durant, you know, so what so what does dan Quinn do? I know the way to cope? Dan Quinn, go ahead and get Olddell Beckham and J. J. Watt what I mean, That's what Steve car is gonna tell him. Um, what do you think? Do you think this helps at all? Chris?

Do you think there's any crossover here with one coach uh that came back from three or gave away three, one leads giving advice to another coach that blew a huge football league. Listen, it's gotta start somewhere. It's gonna start with dan Quinn. He's got to be the one that's gonna build, rebuild the confidence of the Falcons, especially the one game. You sound like you're real excited about

the Falcons. I'm not excited about the Falcons, but there's no reason why they can't get back to the super Bowl next year. There is no reason, because I really haven't seen many of the teams. Maybe other than even I mean like maybe the Giants, maybe the Eagles, maybe the Maybe the NFC East can be one of the Super Bowl teams this year. Maybe other than that, I really can't see anybody else other than the Falcons, no doubt,

no doubt. Let me tell you something. I think if Dan Quinn really wants to get advice, he should not go to Steve Kerr. He should not go to Terry Francota. If he wants to know what to do how to cope after losing a huge lead, he should talk to Hillardam Clinton. I'm your boy Speeds, the spitting statistician. You're listening to the fantasy freestyle from my Boy Sports with z on that sports Guru app from a man Chris Bavona.

I'm so happy to have you back. We're gonna be doing a lot of things with that TV tournament and opening Day next week. When we started on the Fantasy Freestyle. I'll be giving you updates. I'll be giving you what pictures. Looking at the slate moving forward, a lot of good things as we officially get to the baseball season. I am ready give me some cracker jacks. I don't care if I ever come back. I'm your boy. Dame Martinez Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

Have a great week on I'm out more
