UFC 210, No Fun League, TV G.O.A.T Champ, and More!

on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. And of course we are joined with all our sports byline of affiliates and of course the American Forces Radio Network, which makes this truly a global experience. So strap on in for the next hour. If you want to get at me this hour, you can at eight four four, eight four, three six, eight seven nine. You could also follow us on at F and T s Y Radio. You can also catch me at Spitting Speeds. We're gonna have some pole questions up.

We're gonna have fun, though. I'm telling you, it feels like spring. I got my boy Donnie Burns with me on the ones and twols so hot that we sweat steam. How are you feeling Donnie, not too bad, Dane. How we're doing We're doing good. We're doing good. What I want to do real quick before we get into the meet of the show, We're gonna get into the starting cipher. I'm gonna give you speeds to starting lineup. But of course we're gonna put the fun and Functional Sports radio.

But let me let you know what two poles we've got up this hour, so you can go on that fn T s Y radio Twitter handle and you could vote. Let us know. First of all, we had the Masters over the weekend, so I want to know about golf, and I gotta admit I'm something of a novice when it comes to golf. But I'm hearing about this rule where you can call in. The viewers can call in and challenge and call rules and fractions, and I don't

know how I feel about this. So my first question for you up on that Twitter pole is do you agree with this rule where fans can call in for potential rules in fractions and violations and actually give the golfers penalties. Let us know how you feel about that. I also have another poll question up because this is the last week of the regular season in the NBA.

The playoffs get started next weekend on Saturday. So there's a couple of interesting storylines going on in my opinion, and I want to know, what do you think is the biggest storyline? Is it concern over the calves and their defense then blowing a twenty six point lead. Isn't this m v P race that we've been talking about for a long time Russell Westbrook, James Harden and some others.

Or is it team's tanking the player's rest. I know, my boy Donny Burns is gonna have something to say, you know, speed susmitting statistician is gonna have something to say. So come all right back, hollow at your boy. It's the Fantasy freestyff on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network and of course across the country on our Sports Byline affiliates and around the world with American Forces Service Radio. Come on right back, We're gonna have some fun. Ah oh weird.

You know what it is. This is your boy, Dane Martinez. You're listening to the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. And of course I want to give a big shout out to all our sports Byline affiliates across the country and the American Forces radio network around the world. Let's get as started right now with my boy Donnie Burns on the ones and twos. Let's give you speeds is starting lineup the stuff you need to know around

Major League Baseball. For some news and notes from over the weekend, Gary Sanchez, the Yankees catcher, was headed to the d L with a biceps strain. They're saying that he is going to miss about four weeks. Make sure you have a contingency plans at catcher. Buster Posey left today's game after getting hit in the head with a ninety four mile an hour Taiwan Walker fastball. He left the game. We'll have to see an update on that

to see if he's in the next Giants game. Jackie Bradley Jr. Also Headed to the d OUT with a hyper extended knee. Remember it is the ten day d L, not the fifteen day d L, but Jackie Bradley will be missing missing for the rest of this week for the Boston Red Sox at least. Tray Turner also going to the d L for the Washington Nationals with a hamstring strain. A lot of hamstring strains going on in Major League Baseball. And uh, there's another one today. Jean

Segura leaves the game today against the Houston Astros. He strained his hamstring. We're gonna find out a little bit later on this week when I bring back licensed certified athletic trainer Thomas Lowe. We're gonna ask is this common? Is it common to get this many hamstring injuries early in the season. It seems like that happens not only here in baseball, but also in the NFL early in

the season. We're gonna try and find out from the from our trainer, a friend of the program and see if that's, ah, that's a common thing early in the season. Hanley Ramirez still out with the flu for the Boston Red Sox and Xander Bogart's flight was canceled coming back. He was on the bree minute list. He should be fine and Xander Bogart should be back in the lineup tomorrow. I'll tell you what speeds and smitten statistician knows about

the flight issues coming from the Caribbean. And when we have a little bit of fun and functional sports radio a little bit later on, we're gonna be talking about airplanes. Uh, and some things you might have seen on the internet that happened on airplanes. Today, Philly's manager Pete mccannon met with jen Mark Gomez about the closer role. I was, like many other people, thinking it was gonna be Hector Maurice taking over for jen Mark Almos, but instead it

is Joaquin Bena. So go get Joaquin ben Way if he is still on your waiver. Wire. Also want to talk about the impact of blisters, because you know, not only do a lot of guys have tight hamstrings early in the season, but I'm hearing a lot of about blisters for pictures. Very interesting though, uh thor Mr Syndergard seemed to be just fine after his blister issue. He over the weekend when seven things, giving up only one

run with nine strikeouts and win over the Marlins. On the flip side, though, Rich Hill is going to the disabled list with the very same blister issue. I wonder what is the difference. Will maybe ask the trainer that as well. Interesting. Note, everybody just chill, It's only one week, okay. But after one week, the Diamondbacks, Twins, Reds, Angels and Rays are all in first place. All of those teams

won less than seventy five games last year. I kind of think that those guys will find their way back to the bottoms of their divisions, but anything can happen in a given week. What I want to do is catch you guys up on Remember on Friday show, I gave you the starting pitchers that I liked all weekend long, and of course we hold ourselves accountable here on the Fantasy Freestyle. So I gotta tell you I had a decent weekend. I told you that I liked Cardinals starters

all weekend long against those Cincinnati Reds. Mike Leak on Friday was one of them. He got a quality start, eight innings pitch, giving up only one run with six strikeouts. I hope you listen to me when I said to pick him instead of a guy like Francisco Liriano who got lit up and has one of those e r A s now that it's something like a hundred and thirty five something like that. Hopefully use Mike Leak on Friday. I also told you that I liked Michael Waka on Saturday.

All he did was get a quality start and they win, giving up only one run in six innings and striking out six. I also told you guys that the way to win in DFS is sometimes to pay up for the stud pitchers when you have them in good matchups. And I told you that the San Francisco Giants in San Diego with their one and two pitchers over the weekend, I thought that was good money. What they do. Man bum eight innings, pitch to earn runs, five strikeouts. He

got you a quality start. Johnny Quato yesterday, seven innings, pitch to earn runs, seven strikeouts. He not only got you the quality start, he also got you the win. Let's talk about who I like tonight. I think there's two two starting pitchers that you gotta go with tonight. Benny Riccardi gave him to you, gave him both to you in that last show the DFS lineup Block. You gotta pay up for Jacob de Gram tonight ten tho dollars on fan duel. He's the second choice behind Lester.

I do believe. I like that. Listen, six strikeouts in six innings and his last start, he's gonna be a guy who gets you a strikeout per get to a strikeout per inning. I like that, even on the road against what I consider a light hitting Philadelphia Phillies team. The other guy I like is Brandon Finnegan. We talked about this. Uh, he looked like a beast in his first time out. I think he could replicate that again in that matchup. Right now, they are in the first

inning against the Pirates. UH, Cincinnati maybe working to get him a lead early on. We'll keep an eye out on that and all the rest of the scores around the league as we continue on here on the Fantasy Freestyle.

If you want to talk to me about anything that we're gonna be talking about, the poll questions, your DFS lineup for the weekend, Well, what you're doing tonight, you can hollow at me at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine, And as always, you can also put in questions at f n T S Y Radio, on Twitter or at spin Speeds to hollow at me. Dave Martinez. The other thing I'm gonna tell you tonight, we got the Rockies at home in Cores against the

San Diego Padres. The Padres are throwing Jared coz Art. Jared Cozart did not make the Padres rotation coming out of spring training, and you ask yourself who did make the Padres rotation coming out of spring training. You know, I mean it wasn't Jared Cozart, and that means he's gonna be throwing batting practice. Get all the Rockies you possibly can into your lineup, but don't sweat it. You

also can get some Padres in your lineup. There's some cheap options, okay, guys like uh, guys like Marco, Guys like even Janetkowski. If you want some steals in the two spots. The other thing, I'm gonna tell you we've got some great to start weeks coming the this week, I already mentioned Jacob to Graham. We talked about Finnegan, one guy I kind of like he already had. He already had one start today. If you look at that Astro's Mariners game, you got Paxton and you've got Charlie Morton.

I like both of them in their second start this week, especially Morton. He will be at Oakland, the light hitting Oakland team in the Oakland County Coliseum. I like that. Moving forward, I also want to tell you, you you know, here on the Fantasy Freestyle, what we do is, uh, we do a little bit of diamonds in the rough and we do our fantasy fool gays these people to forget about. And I'm gonna tell you, going into this weekend,

you would have never guessed it. But ya C L. P Week was number one on the Player Raider with a one point eight one three o p s and then in Colorado, Okay, fine, it faded down to one point one six four four the season, down to number twelve on the But here's what I think is most important. What's most important is I think Yassi LP Week may have his head finally on straight. Check this out quotes from ya C. L. Puig and I quote, you have to behave yourself and get here early to prepare. That's

how things go the right way. You will. You would not have heard that out of Yasiel Puig. You would not have heard that out of Yasiel puigu Uh you know seasons ago. Okay. Now here's another thing out of Yasiel Puig. I don't think these are quotes you're gonna hear like two or three years ago. Okay. He's also consciously looking to change his launch angle. Remember I told you about how people are looking into these advanced stats,

and the launch angle is one of them. He's now saying, and I quote, what I think about is putting the ball in the air, or else I will have no money in my pocket. He knows that the way for him to get a deal is to hit these fly balls. They go over the wall, those powers. That's or where it is here, my fool gazes for you. Okay. And unfortunately a lot of these guys are heading to the d L. I'm talking about rookies. Gary Sanchez before he went on the d L entering that series was one ops.

Now we're gonna have to wait four more weeks to hear him. Trey Turner was to a thirteen before going on to the d L with a stram with a strain hamstring. And Chris Bryant started the season going oh for thirteen, doing a little bit better now got seven hits over the weekend. But uh, maybe raising the banner in Wrigley will help him out. We will see check it out when we come back. We're gonna get into speed cipher here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy

Sports Radio Network. We're gonna talk about these golf rules. We're gonna talk about the most important story leading into the NBA playoffs, and we're gonna have a little guest here who was at Yankee Stadium for the home opener. Michael Pinata looked really good today. We'll talk about that. I'm de boy Day Martinez will be right back. You know what it is. This is your boy, Dave Martinez speeds the spitting statisticians. And we are back on the

Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. And of course I want to give a big shout out to all our Sports Byline affiliates across the country and also around the world with American Forces Network Radio. We have a special guest here. I'm gonna tell you something. We're here in New York, here in uh Rock and Riley's studio thirty four, right across street from Madison Square Garden in the shadow of the Empire State Building. And as you may or may not know, the Yankees without Gary

Sanchez had their home opener today. Okay, so I'm a Yankees fan. I'm a Yankees fan. So earlier this morning I got a text from one of my friends asking me if I'm at church today, and and and you might ask yourself, what do you what do you mean? Palm Sunday was yesterday. It's not Eastern yet. What are you talking about? Church is Yankee Stadium? Okay, church is Yankee Stadium. Was not going to church because I had

to get this show ready. But what do you know, I'm on the air and all of a sudden, my home girl, Miss Lindsay McNeil comes on into the studio straight from Yankee Stadium. How you doing, Lindsay? Hella? Lovely? How you doing? Church day? Happy opening? Absolutely, church open today. It was lovely. So Tommy, Tommy, tell me how what was the atmosphere like? There was no banner to hang, But what was it like there for the pined to start? Uh, you know, getting to see some of the baby Bombers

introduced on the baseline. Was there a new a renewed sense of optimism for Yankee fans in the building. It was so lovely being in the building. It was a great excitement energy. There wasn't a hit till about the seven. Yeah, and so tell me about this. I called Michael Pinata, usually Michael Pinata because he gets beat down most of the time, but he had his good stuff that it was absolutely amazing. We were just all screaming and we kept being oh my god, oh my god. And one

of my friends kept saying, isn't no hitter? And I was like, shot up shot, you're not supposed to say, said your friend Jinx the no hitter. Well, I didn't say drinks. But when he finally did leave his seat at the what was the middle of the half of the seventh in it was right after that we did that y M c A. I'm not gonna say he chinxed it. But it was a great game. Everyone was happy. It was seventy four degrees, it was great. It was day after palm it. We were just enjoying the energy.

Everyone was so happy. Beautiful day in the stadium, A great time to see a game. Now, Tommy Lens, what do we expect for the Yankees this season? You know, we're kind of on the upswing. We cleared out all the old money with the Yankees and we are moving forward with a sense of optimism. Kids like Bird and Sanchez, neither one of whom you saw today. But do we do we feel good about some of these young kids. We think they're gonna take that next step. I am

it just feel like it's a whole regeneration rejuvenation. We beat Orioles yesterday and I know Adam Jones does play for the Orioles. I just feel so happy. It's a great way to start out the church. It's a great new day and new beginning. I just we just need this. I feel like it's a great way to start. I think we're gonna we'll do hit playoffs, will do a lot of great things. Fantastic, fantastic. Thank you so much Lindsey McNeil for joining us on the show today. Listen,

here's Studio thirty four and Rock and Riley's. You could just stop on in Speeds the Spitting Statistician. We welcome all guests. We welcome callers at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. You could also catch us at fn T s Y Radio. Catch me at Spitting Speeds on Twitter. Ask you questions, we get them answered during the show. I got a couple of poll questions because I know you are a lady that loves all sports, including the NBA, and I know I know,

well we're about to get started. One of the pole questions we have up right now that you can answer right now on that on the Twitter on fn T s Y radio, is what is the biggest storyline going right now in this NBA season where we are. Do you think it is concerned for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Remember they blew a twenty six point lead. We don't know if they're really feeling right. That's option A. Or is

it this m v P race we're talking about. You got Russell Westbrooken is averaging a triple double, but many people speeds, including the things that James Harden is a legitimate m VP candidate playing all the games, playing through injured risks and the like, or or yep, yep, yep. Or is it this idea of the NBA resting their players and the teams resting their players so much, maybe on the second night of back to backs or what have you? You know, this this issue with them resting

all the time. Or is it my fourth choice, which is the idea of all these teams trying to tank? The Lakers are trying to tank, but they've won four in a row. It's not really helping them. Of these which do you think is the biggest storyline in the NBA right now? I think the biggest story is Russell westbrook going listen, I'm sorry and everyone talking about Lebron all the time. There's all these other teams. Great Lebron lost law SiGe, He's not God. I'm sorry the other years.

I don't think he should have had as many ranks. People can come from me. You bring your hate. I think some times he flops or he okay, okay, so clearly not a Lebron fan. What was that? How about them Yankees? I'm a Lebron friend, but so many times he thinks he should get every foul call a lot. Yesterday was a great game. It was a great day in sports, absolutely the Masters, great baseball. We had so much going on yes my brain almost explained, well, we

don't want that to happen. Lindsay, thanks so much for joining the show on the Fantasy Freestyle. Come on back any time. We'll get into our news and notes there. We talked about the NBA, we talked golf, we talked MLB Opening day for some teams at home, including the New York Yankees. But I got some news and notes from the NFL as well. There is more than just smoke. I think there was fire here. Albert Brier now reporting that Malcolm Butler may wind up going to the Saints.

But if he does, and if he does Richard Sherman, we know he's on the trade deadline, on the trading block. He may go to the Patriots. Remember the Patriots really prioritizing coverage over pressure on the quarterback. Signed Stephen Gilmour from the Buffalo Bills. Um earlier on. In free agency, the Atlanta Falcons have signed Desmond true Font to a five year, sixty nine million dollar extension. They say the next person to get their contact will be DeVante Freeman. Um.

They're gonna try. They're gonna try and give him an extension before camp. He's still playing on the last year of his rookie deal, making only one point eight million dollars. Keenan Allen of the Los Angeles Charges says that he is at eighty five percent coming back off his A c L injury. And in Denver, head coach Vance Joseph says that Trevor Simeon is a full go for O T A S and that he will be in a competition with second year quarterback Paxton Lynch and that it

is fifty fifty it can go either away. Like I said, I got two pole questions up and thanks again for Lindsay for stopping by here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. The first pole question I had was what was the biggest storyline in the NBA and this last week of the season. You heard the options, You heard Lindsay's take on it. She was very happy after her day at Yankee Stadium during the day celebrating Opening Day at Yankee Stadium.

Here's my other pole question for you. Do you agree with this golf rule where fans can call in that are watching it and they can call in with potential rules and fractions or violations. Yes or no? I don't think I don't think this is viable. Okay, listen. I loved watching the Masters, so Gero Garcia winning. There was great drama in the back nine with Justin Rose. I saw them, you know, they were friends, They had camaraderie.

I saw them high fiving stuff like that. But I don't know how I feel about this idea of viewers being able to call in foreign fractions. I saw it possibly with Sergio Garcia when he was in the pine needles moving them around. But this happened with Lexi Thompson. Lexie Thompson on the LPGA tour got a four shot penalty for um remarking the ball on the green kind

of not in the same exact area. But what I don't get is how fans can call in or email and actually actually impact the standings and impact the leader board. This is not cool with me. Golf anyway has this weird honor system anyway right in place where they gotta you know, mark themselves down. I don't know how I feel about this. You also, you got rules officials walking over the grounds all over the place. Why why aren't

those enough? Because here's the thing. When you're watching on TV, obviously it's the guys at the top of the leaderboard. Obviously it's the headliners and the big names that are on more right, I think it's completely unfair. I do not think this should be the case. And if you look on that toll right now on f N T S Y radio, nine percent of you agree with me that this is a ridiculous rule. I don't. I don't

understand how they could do that. You never can, like in the NFL, have a fan calling and be like na, no, not he didn't get his second foot down. You can't in Major League Baseball be like nah, he looks safe and calling and actually have them change that. I don't know why that's the case in golf. I'm a novice, you know. I was like, I liked watching it. I liked watching Sunday at the Masters. But that rule really gets my goal. Let's keep it moving though real quick

here in the cipher on the fantasy freestyle. I'm gonna tell you something. I mentioned last week that Amazon won the contract to stream Thursday night football and they got it for fifty million dollars that they're paying for this, and to me, this big brings up a larger issue.

It brings up a larger issue of you know, people cutting the cord, you know, and not really using cable TV anymore, going to all these streaming services, the Netflix, the who Lose, the Amazons, the HBO goes, the PlayStations and all that. And it makes me really wonder what's gonna happen when this new TV deal is up in the NFL, because I think this is the way it's going. And quite frankly, if you want to know the truth life, sports is really the only thing that is still really

kind of reality must see TV. We're in a we're in an on demand streaming kind of world. But the only thing you really need to see when it's going on live now is sports. That's what makes it, you know, that's what makes the ad dollars so much there, That's what means, you know, because people need to tune in. You can't just be there the next day and you know, not know what happened on the water cooler. But you can say, oh, I'm I'm two episodes behind in Game

of Thrones. Please don't tell me that flies at the water cooler at work. What doesn't fly is oh, I got I got that basketball game on DVR. Don't tell me, you know. So what Amazon is looking to do is work with these sports leagues and maybe in their Amazon Prime package have live streaming for the NBA, the NFL, major League Baseball, you know, things like Major League Soccer. And I really think that's where it's going to go.

I want to know what you think. You can holler at me at A four four eight, four, three six seven nine. I think I'm when I move next, I'm not gonna get cable again. I'm just gonna get these streaming services because that's where it's at. But can you do that and still get Sports. It looks like that will be the case a little bit later on. What I want to do is check out these poll questions

that I have you right now. Of you agree with my homegirl Lindsay saying that the m v P race is the biggest story right now to finish up the NBA regular season. Seven percent of you think it is concerned for the Cleveland Cavaliers because right now they are just tied for the one seed with the Boston Celtics. Of you think it's tanking teams. Thanks big shout out to someone who wrote in vote talking about resting players

that skyfly dfs. When we come back with I don't put the fun and functional sports radio, I'm the boy Dain Martinez speeds and spitting statistician. Shout out to the Sports Byline affiliates American Forces Radio Network, come on right back, Fantasy Freestyle if ruled world. Do you know what it is is, your boy, Dame Martinez speeds and spitting Statistician.

You're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network and of course on our Sports Byline affiliates around the country and with the American Forces Radio Network around the world. Hey, Donnie Burns, I'm bringing Donnie Burns in YO. That was crazy. I had a little guest appearance from my homegirl Lindsay. I gotta tell you what happened here, Okay, a little bit of inside Radio. I was telling everybody at the start of the show,

it's like seventies seventy five degrees out. Everybody's feeling good. And it was the home opener for the New York Yankees today. Okay, and so apparently, uh, my homegirl Lindsay, who just joined the show. Don do you know who she was sitting next to at the Yankee game today? I think I have an idea because she just came into the control as she yelled that's day and I'm like, oh,

that's my guy, back down the hatches. Apparently she was sitting next to our fearless leader, Mike Cardono at the Yankee game, and so, you know, one thing led to another. They hollered at some ushers, they had some people come around and bless them, and uh, they had a good old time at the stadium, and uh, you know, the tornado swept in here to Studio thirty four during Fantasy Freestyle. Yeah, that's awesome. It's always good to have lively friends of

Dane Martinez. You know how we do. You know how we do. But uh, Donny, I want to get to you, my friend, because you are the resident NBA correspondent here on the Fantasy Freestyle, and you know, I got this whole question up a lot of people talking about the m v P Race tanking teams. But I want to find out from you, is are you concerned about the

Cleveland Cavaliers, specifically their defense? You know, they're now tied for the one seed with Boston and uh, they seem to be kind of off a little bit, petering to the end of the regular season, talking a lot of smack and um, are you concerned about the Calves a little bit? And I'm not not really concerned in their play because if you watch them play against the Celtics, they played really well. The one thing I did I actually read up on Today's they're gonna be resting Lebron

Kyrie and Kevin Love in this next game. I believe it's against the Heat. They're tied for the best right for the one seed in the East. I don't like how they're you know what I mean, Like all the time resting. They're gonna need that home court right now, and you do that when you're tied with the one seed. It's a little iffy for me. But their play I'm not worried about. They always show up in the playoffs.

Like Lebron said, he's the last person to be talking about a regular season game, but to be doing that as a coaching standpoint during a time when they're talking about resting being kind of iffy and being tied for the first place in the Eastern Conference a little iffy, but not in the play I'm not worried about the play. All right, all right, we might have to make another one of our little gentlemen's bets over here, Donnie Burns, because I am. I'm very concerned about the Calves. I

really am. I mean, I do still think that ultimately they'll make it out of the East. But I think that these West Coast teams that they are Western Conference teams that they're gonna have to deal with, are gonna wind up putting it on them. They're way too good. I think whether it's Golden State, I think whether it's San Antonio. To be honest, I think don't sleep on the Houston Rockets D'Antoni in his seven seconds or less making uh, you know, making James Harden a legit m

VP candidate. So I am also concerned. We'll keep tabs on that throughout the week. The playoffs do, in fact in the NBA start on Saturday. Um, here we go, though, Donni, we're gonna put the fun and functional Sports Radio. I got another you know, we got another ten of fifteen minutes before we hit Fantasy first Look on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network when my boys Frankie Standfull, Joe Galina, the Fantasy Hey Sous and Mike Florio will be bringing it to you from eight to ten pm here on

the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. But don for a month now, we have been aiming on a quest to crown the greatest TV show of all time. And I gotta tell you something. We have the winner, Donnie Burns. We had the finals. You know, for those of you who you know don't listen to the show regularly and aren't caught up.

We had the sitcom region, we had the drama region, we had the animated region, and we had the reality TV region that made a final four of Seinfeld Simpson's Breaking Bad and the Cinderella was out of the reality region was Cops. The seven seed, despite my Homegirl are alone from the Las Vegas season of Real World coming

on the show and lobbying for her cause. Then we had a finals matchup which was Seinfeld versus Breaking Bad, and I put up a poll to determine the champion over the weekend, and I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you, don for stretches in the weekend, it was literally fifty fifty. Hundreds of people voted and it was

literally fifty fifty. We closed the polls only a few hours ago, and I am pleased to announce that the winner of the TV Greatest of All Time two thousand and seventeen Fantasy Freestyle Tournament is gonna get a drum roll. Donny barrats we got a drum roll of something there. We don't have a drum all. That's okay. Can you picture the drum roll happening in your head? The winner

is Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad is, as per the Fantasy Sports Radio Network and the Fantasy Free Style viewers and listeners, the greatest TV show of all time. Big shout out to Benny Riccardi, who called it earlier on in the tournament. That's what Benny Riccardi does. It gives you what you need to win your leagues and win that cash. What do you think, Donny a deserving champion. Yeah, well, shouts out to Benny Riccardi, the lobby master of the He

really did. He was retweeting the poll because it was like and Seinfeld's favor at one point on Saturday, and I saw him retweeting it, trying to get all those uh, breaking bad hashtags in there. Um and he did it was it was in the vote, breaking bad takes it home. So we're gonna have to find out what we do next year on the Fantasy Freestyle. Remember we had Speeds versus the kids in the NFL Playoffs. We've been doing

the TV greatest of all time. We're gonna have to do something else to put the fun in functional sports radio. Let's keep it moving though, Donnie Burns, I don't know if you were with me at the end of the week. I think it might have been my man Chris Bavona on the ones and twos, But um I talked to little bit about UFC two ten on Friday show, and apparently Pearl Gonzalez was about to be disqualified in her first in her first main card bout with the UFC.

Do you have any idea why this was gonna happen, Donnie Burns don't. Okay, good, I'm glad you don't. She had been disqualified get ready for this because she had breast implants, and they said she was disqualified because it was a health risk. They said, this is because they were a risk, the risk of them rupturing, right, So she was disqualified. However, the New York State Athletic Commission then overturned their decision and Pearl Gonzalez was able to

compete in UFC two ten over the weekend. Too bad she lost though in the third round she was submitted by a rear choke, so she wound up losing that. You know, the New York State Athletic Commission did not look good after UFC two ten for a number of reasons that I want to talk to you guys about. Not only was this there this fiasco with Pearl Gonzalez and her implants. UM in the main event, in the main event between Wyman and Masswawi Um they kind of

stopped it. They stopped it by accident. They didn't know if you know, there was strikes two women when he was on the ground and and the ref and the ref gave him a standing eight count and then they said, oh wait, we don't know if these strikes are legal. If they're not legal, and then the doctor came in and stopped the fight. Nobody really seemed to know what

was going on. I blame the New York State Athletic Commission on this one with this, the reversal of the Pearl Gonzales disqualification, and then also Daniel Cormier in a way in for UFC two ten uh weighed in and then was able to weigh in again five minutes later after taking a towel off, and it helped him lose one point two pounds. The New York State Athletic Commission had a lot of work to do, a lot of

egg on their face here. I'm hoping that um I would love there to be events here in New York, but it does not look like the UFC wants to come back too many times, especially after you know some of the mishaps they had here. But let's keep it moving. I'm gonna put the fun and functional sports radio here on the Fantasy stylish your boy, Dame Martinez speeds and spitting statistician Donny the UH, the no fun league in the NFL has struck again. There we Go has struck again.

You may you may have seen this. There was a um there was an arm wrestling tournament in Las Vegas over the weekend. You saw this? Okay, good? So UM there's this arm wrestling tournament going on in Vegas and something like thirty NFL players participated. Big names though, James Harrison, and the other big name is Mr Marshawn Lynch who was competing in this tournament. And Uh. The NFL has now said that participating players were in violation of the

league's gambling policy and will face fines. They said, had they been asked in advance if this was acceptable, they would have said it was in direct violation of the gambling policy. No one sought pre approval from the NFL to allow their players to be in this uh, in this arm wrestling tournament. Now here's what I want to know.

What what is this gambling policy that guys can't be in Vegas in a in a arm wrestling tournament, But yet you can up and move the Raiders to Las Vegas, and you know you had a policy about referees not being able to be in Las Vegas during the season. You're obviously gonna have to change that. You're legalizing and inbed you know, owners are are part shareholders of places like Draft Kings and Fan Duel. They're so in bed with,

you know, the gambling industry. You even see now on ESPN and another networks that I'm talking about the point spreads talking about bad beats. And if, by the way, if you didn't see the worst beat of the NBA season, the Grizzlies next game at the end of the year, please go ahead and search for that video. The Grizzlies

were twelve and a half point favorites. They were up by ten, and a guy in the Grizzlies, Wayne Baldwin, just puts up a ridiculous prayer half court shot and it goes down to give them a thirteen point win on the twelve and a half point spread. They said he did it because all the fans got like tacos or something if they the century mark, which is what they did with that shot. But I digress. Um, So this arm wrestling tournament is gonna err on CBS over

Memorial Day weekend. I bet the NFL just wants to cut the money here, I bet, because you know, what they're saying is no one sought pre approval. I bet, I bet they just wanted to cut of it. You know, Um, what do you think, Donny, You think this is like I think this is egg on the face of the NFL. Like they need to get their policy. So here's my thing on this. I heard this today and it seems

that all the participants will be getting reprimanded. And I think, however, the Marshawn Lynch thing is a little weird because it looks at this point in time that he's moving towards coming back, right, So I wonder how they deal with that. You know, I don't know because he's not as of right now, he's still on the contract. He's still Yeah, he has the Seattle Seahawks have his rights, which is why he can't just come out of retirements. The Seahawks

have to agree. But apparently he won't be getting fine. Well, you know, that's all Marshall Lynch is trying to do, not get fined over the stupid bowl. That's all he's trying to do is not be fine, you know, check this out. UM. I only got a couple more minutes with you guys, But there's one story that I wanted to talk about real quick. Um, did you guys see

what happened on that United flight earlier today? Um? So, United Airlines over books their flights and there were four people therefore extra people, and so they were asking for volunteers for who would give up their seats so the flight could take off. Nobody volunteered. Nobody gave up their seat. I mean they all paid for tickets to get on that flight, right, Nobody wanted to do that. There was this one guy who's a doctor on his way to perform surgery, and you really need to go get the video.

I wish I was a TV show where I could show you the video. But the police, the airport police, the airline police literally come onto the plane and pretty much beat this guy up and literally drag him out, literally I'm not exaggerating, drag him off the plane. And people were like, you know, snapchat ating it and posting it on social media. I think he's got a big time,

big time lawsuit on his hand. I encourage you to just check it out and maybe send a sternly worded letter if you feel if you feel, uh, you know, like that should not happen with United Airlines. Um Mikey Florio, who's coming up next on the Fantasy First Look. He says he had a bad experience in a similar vein with United Airlines where they were overbooked on the flight, but then they wound up giving him a five dollar voucher, and he wound up only and he only paid like

a oh yeah, I like that too. He only paid like a hundred fifty dollars for his tickets. So he he raised a good question, if you're gonna overbook like that, it's not worth it, if you're gonna wind up giving all these people vouchers and wind up losing money on it more than you would by just not selling the tickets in the first place. I really don't understand what United Airlines is doing, but please search search for this video. It's really disturbing. You could also find it if you

go to at spitting Speeds on Twitter. That's where you can find your boy, Dane Martinez PS and spitting Statistician. I don't know don with this arm wrestling thing, though, Who do you think is actually the strongest in the NFL. Who would win to James Harrison? Are you kidding? You think it's James Harrison even over a guy like say J. J. Watt, even over J. J. Watt. It's true, and he doesn't. He does love that acupuncture, which him young and fresh.

But I don't know what about like Damon Harrison snacked one of the big nose tackles. Now you're going with Harrison no matter what. Alright, alright, alright, fine, fine, fine, we'll check it out. We're about to go to break. But when we come back, we're gonna check in on our polls. I'll go around the league, give you all those updated scores in Major League Baseball, all that and more.

The Reds are up five nothing on the Pittsburgh Pirates in the top

of the second inning. Once again, final check on our poll questions so far today, of you guys agree with me that it's crazy that golf has this rule that callers that viewers can call in or email and challenge, you know, scoring issues and and and disqualifications. That is

absolutely crazy. And you agree with me.
