I hope you listen to me on Sunday, not so much. On Saturday, we're gonna talk with my man Donnie Burns about where we are in the NBA playoffs, Who's uh, you know, who's making steps, who's looking good? Who do we have

more confidence in moving forward? Also this idea of Steve Kerr being out for the Golden State Warriors and what that really means for the Warriors in their chase for another title, their second in three years. We also we got some great polls. Okay, So first of all, you can follow us at f n T s Y Radio. You can chime in on the polls right there that we have up on Twitter and you could always follow and hollow at your boy at spitting speed. So here's

some polls that we got up for today. First of all, if you listen to the show, you know that last week I asked you who do you got to win the NBA title? What's the Warriors or the field? This time we got a little remix on that question. Okay, is it the Warriors or is it the Cavaliers or is at the field. I want to see, to be honest, if the voters are consistent, if we get some of the same kind of data points that we got just

last week or for some reason people think differently. Also, I'm very excited because this week is the NFL Draft. So one of the things we're gonna do every day this week is I'm gonna spotlight a different position and I'm gonna tell you some of the people that you need to look for, some of the people that are gonna get their names called early in the draft and that really have an impact on, you know, the upcoming fantasy football season. We're gonna get that started today with

the running back position. So I got another pole question up there about Florida State running back Dalvin Cook and his favorite sandwich. I think you guys gonna find that pretty interesting. We'll come on back to my starting line. I'm getting a cipher and as always put the fun and functional sports Radio. I'm your boy, Dame Martinez. Come on back to the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning

Ta Okay, I know the jazz went down a little bit, but uh in odd Gen on fourteen thirty am the klo out there in Price, Utah seven fifty a m k O A l in Richfield, Utah nine eight am k s v C and of course

in St. George, Utah, fourteen fifty am. Big shout out to all the listeners there. Let me give you, uh some news and notes in Major League Baseball as we get into my starting lineup. First thing I want to say, we talked about this on Friday show. Madison bum Gardner to the DL. Remember he had a bike accident, has some some rib injuries, left shoulder strain that is his

pitching shoulder. Uh, we're gonna be talking about a little bit later on in the show, and we put the Fun and Functional Sports Radio about the worst timing of a commercial ever in San Francisco. We'll do that a little bit later on in the show. Aaron Nola, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher is headed to the d L. It looks like he's gonna miss one or two starts with a back issue. Remember we've been talking about this, especially as

it relates to pictures. You don't start until every five days anyway, with this now new ten day d L telling you managers are putting pictures on that DL just to like skip a start there, gaming the system, saving players from themselves. Watch Aaronola, I bet is gonna come right back after that minimum DL set which is now only ten days the Los Angeles Angels have acquired David Hernandez from the Atlanta Braves. Okay, um, I think this move is because they need an experienced arm in the bullpen.

You know, Camberra dro Jan is gone, Houston Streets gone. The Angels are pretty much looking for anything, so they went and acquired David Hernandez from the Braves. It looks like he will be on their major league roster. I told you also on Friday that Shelby Miller, who's gonna have an m R I on his forearm. Yeah, well that came back and he has headed to the disabled list. Okay, this I think is gonna be a little bit longer than those ten days that we're talking about. Shelby Miller

and the team was concerned. So he's going to the d L with that forearm issue. As long as you don't hear like I said the worst, the three most hated words in all of sports, Dr James Andrews. That could be next. We'll check that out. Also, you what a cesspitis? Remember he was missing time with the hamstring. It looks like he will be back for the Mets next game. They start a series tomorrow at home against the Braves. Rna Sesspitis should be back in the middle

of the Mets lineup. And also we got a few Red Sox knees to look at. A few Red Sox are day to day. Dustin Petroy a day to day with a knee injury. Pablo Sandoval also day to day. Sandoval is going for an m R. I all right, let's get into this, okay, because remember I give you what you need to win your leagues and win that cash. And on Friday Show, I gave you all the pictures you needed to target all weekend. And as always on the Fantasy Freestyle, we hold speeds accountable, Okay, So it's

not like I'm just throwing out random stuff. If I didn't do well, I let you know about it, okay, But Friday I did just fine. On Friday, I told you that I was not worried about Cole Hamill's even though that there was weather in that game down in Texas there with like tornado warnings. And here's the deal. When there's rain, it's all good if they delay the

start and then the that youre gets to go. What you don't want is them to be a rain delay in the middle because then when the picture has like an hour hour twenty minute delay, they're not coming back out. Then you get two winnings pitched, and that's no good. That's not gonna help you win that cash. Right, But I said you could ride out Cole Hammill's on Friday. I liked him. What did he do? Eight innings pitched, one earned run, four strikeouts. He got you a quality

start and the wind. So that's your boy speeds, the spitting statistician holding you down. On Saturday, though, I gotta admit I gave you a few guys and they didn't perform well. I told you I kind of like Matt Boyd and he only went four in the third innings, So that was not going to get you a win. That was not gonna get you a quality start. And that's the issue with some of these young guys that

have innings limits or they have a cap. You know, these guys are getting babied so much right now, So I acknowledge that with these young studs that are coming up, you may not want to have them. Remember the same goals for Jordan Montgomery out there with the Yankees. I don't think they're gonna go long enough to qualify for the wind or the quality start. I should have told you that on Friday. I told you I like to my guys that were going on Saturday. They did do

that well. Charlie Morton only when five gave up five earned runs, struck out six, Robbie Ray five and a third innings. He did get the win and struck out six, continuing that more strikeouts than innings. Pitch. You gotta like that k ratio. But hopefully instead of listening to me, you just enjoyed a nice little Saturday. You know, home depot. You don't know what you have enough time for. But on Sunday, that's when you should have listened to Speeds.

I liked studs up at the top. I like you Darvish bouncing back after his worst out ring of the season with eight innings pitched, striking out a gotta quality start and the win. And also Marcus Stroman. I like Stroman. He threw his second straight complete game yesterday, going nine innings, only giving up run, striking out five, quality start and the wind. So let's turn the page and look at today. There were two starters that I like it. If if

you listen to Tony Sankata. If you listen to Benny Riccardi last hour on the DFS lineup lock, there's one place where I agree with them and one where I don't. I'm riding with for Cisco Liriano tonight against the Angels. I think that that first start that he had where he wound up on an e r A of hundred thirty five, I think you're still getting a discount in price because of those numbers being inflated. I like him

against the Angels. I like him because Jesse Chavez is who's pitching against Chavez has a five plus e r A. In that lineup, there's really nothing except Mike Trout to navigate. Give me Francisco Loriano. I like the k upside. Remember Russell Martin is his catcher there. He's one of my guys. I like Loriano tonight at any four hundred. If you want to go down a little bit, though, I like a mere Garrett at seventies seven hundred. This guy has been a beast, and each start he's gotten better and

better as the season has gone on. His first start six innings, pitch, four strikeouts, second start six and two thirds innings pitch five strikeouts last time out when seven and struck out twelve. I like that he's against Matt Garza tonight, who was making his first start of the year. And despite the fact that they're in Milwaukee and that is a hitter's ballpark, it's no different from him leaving Cincinnati to go to Milwaukee. That's not a big change.

And I do like that the Milwaukee Breweri is strike out a ton So uh put me down for Mere Garrett and ten strikeouts, I believe. But you know, I'm just Speeds who says you gotta listen to me, right. One thing I've been telling you about as we continue on the starting lineup. I've been talking all season long about how this leadoff hitter revolution is taking place, and I got a couple of stats to back that up. Okay,

first of all, I thought it was funny. I dug up an old quote from an issue of Sporting Life in eighteen hundred and they said, back in the eighteen hundreds, quote unquote, it is customary to have a small, active fellow who can hit, run, and steal bases and also worry a picture into a preliminary based on balls as a leadoff hitter. That is not really the case anymore. Okay, I'm telling you there are a ton of managers right

now who are going a different route. Look Brian Doscher as a leadoff hitter, Carlos Santana, Kyle Schwarberg, Jose A Batista as a leadoff hitter. And there's a lot of people doing this right now, including say, the Astros with George Springer. Okay, manager A. J. Hinches even said, and I quote some of the stereotypes that come with is this leadoff hit or a small, scrappy on base machine. Looks different. I'm sending up six ft three, two pound

George Springer. It might look different, but what we're after is scoring the most runs. And putting your most dangerous hitters at the top of the lineup to get the most at bats is an effective way of doing that. Let me tell you also, the leadoff hitters last year had ten of the home runs in all of Major League baseball, nine of the Ribby's in all of Major

League baseball. Highest ever home run total, highest ever ribby total, highest ever slugging percentage, highest ever isolated power totals ever in the history of baseball. Second highest on base place slugging totals in the history of baseball. Fourth highest total basis in the history of baseball. You know what, though, was last year the highest total in stolen basis the fifty eight highest total in runs. This is really an evolution that is happening. And I gotta tell you the truth.

Here's what it comes down to. You can't steal a base if you can't get on base. That's really what it comes down to to me. Look at a guy like Billy Hamilton's may have fifty seven, fifty five sixties steals, but if he's only getting on base of the time, that is not helping you out. People. This evolution is

going to continue. Even a guy like Buck Shultz. Show Walter, who's kind of as traditional and by the book as possible, has said, the more you look at it, the more you realize that the conventional way of looking on leadoff hitters may not be the White way. We're gonna keep talking about this all season long, but when we come back, we're gonna get into the cipher. We're gonna talk NBA playoff from my boy Donnie Burns, We're gonna talk NFL draft, and a whole lot more so come on right back.

It should boy Dame Martinez Speeds and spitting Statistician, and you're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know what it is. It should boyd Dan Martinez a k a. To Spitting Statistician, and you're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Just want to give you a quick update. The Chicago Clubs are all over Chad

Cool and the Pittsburgh Pirates. I have have already scored four runs in the top of the first the defending world champions doing big things in that divisional matchup in the n L Central. We're about to get into the cipher. Though. You know how we do here in the Fantasy Freestyle. It should boy Dan martinezpis the spitting Statistician. If you want to hollow this hour, you can at eight four four,

eight four, three six eight seven nine. Of course, we got those poll questions up at F and T s Y Radio at Spitting Speeds if you want to be a part of the conversation. Low. Like I said, though, draft is this week on Thursday, starting from Philadelphia, so we're gonna be talking about, you know, the draft process a bunch this week, so you know some news and notes from around the NFL. June. These Peppers, excuse me

not Julius Jabril Peppers failed his combined drug test. Okay, similar to Reuben Foster, the linebacker out of Alabama, but Jabrill Peppers, I think the bigger question with him is really what position is he going to play? I do think that this failed drug test may push him out of the first round. Ian Rappaport for NFL Network is reporting that Adrian Peterson and the New Orleans Saints are very close to making a deal for his services. I'm

hearing the number about three million being thrown around. I gotta tell you, though, I've got to be real humbling for Adrian Peterson. I know he went on a big tour and I was telling you guys before that, I wonder what money he's looking for, right and if he has to settle three million, remember Rex Birkehead is getting more than that from the New England Patriots. Offensive tackle Jake Long has retired after a nine year career. The former number one overall pick of the Miami Dolphins, he

was a Pro bowler. His first four seasons and then injuries really got in the way all So remember I was telling you guys a three million dollar deal for Rex Burkhead. They also shined Mike Gilliesley to an offer sheet the Buffalo Bills needed to match. They did not match the offer sheet. So Mike Gillisley is now a Patriot. I wonder what that means for my man LGBT rights, Legarrett Blunt, because now the musical chairs game needs to continue.

We don't know where he was going to be. Like I said, though a lot of smoke screens the week of the draft. What's gonna happen with Malcolm Butler and the Saints. I'm now hearing that the Saints want to keep all of their draft pick. I'm hearing everybody from number one in Cleveland all the way down to number six with the Jets. Everybody apparently is drafting UNC quarterback Mitchell Travinsky. We'll see. I'm also hearing news that, you know,

they're talking about this Jimmy Garoppolo trade. They're now saying the Patriots that this is not going to happen. We shall see as we keep it moving though in the cipher, I want to bring him up. Boy, Donnie Burns, I told you, Donnie, you're what You're the love doctor. You're also my NBA corresponding here on the fantasy freestuff big weekend we had in the playoffs, I thinks, listen, we

had Russell Westbrook going off getting more triple doubles. But then I don't know if you saw the reporter kind of asking him, like why the bench struggles when Russell's not in and he was just basically part of that. He wanted no part of it, and he kind of shielded I think Steven Adams for answering. It was just like, yo,

I got this. It reminded me, to be honest, of only a couple of years ago when Durant and Westbrook were together and the idea of like whatever, Mark Cuban said that he wasn't an elite all star kind of talent and and and Durant was like, I got this to kind of help his boy Westbrook. And it really reminded me of Westbrook doing the same thing in that press conference. I also, listen, we were talking where the

Cavaliers broken? Are we worried about them? All this stuff? Well, they're the only team so far that is already in the second round with a four nothing sweep of the Indiana Pacers. You know, also listen, a lot of people left the Celtics for dead, you know, if you remember a couple of weeks ago, people on this pole tweeted that the Celtics were the team they were most worried about. Well,

two things have happened. One, they've gotten their bearings back a little bit to Ray gien Ron though is now out with a hand injury for the Bulls, and the Celtics have come all the way back. So I would love to get your thoughts on that. Donnie Barnes. Also then Steve Carr back issue missing games, like how how bad does your back have to be for you to not be able to coach? And what impact might this

have on the Golden State Warriors in their quest? And then obviously we got a huge game five Toronto and Milwaukee tonight in Toronto. Up in the sixth when we put the fun and Functional Sports radio done, we're gonna be talking a little bit about what Milwaukee did to kind of troll the Raptors all weekend long when they were in Milwaukee. Some interesting things going at it but I don't know, what do you want to talk about? Donnie Westbrook, the Calves, Boston coming back to Steve Carr thing,

how do you feel? How do you get about these? I think the thing with the Celtics is, because we mentioned this a bunch on the show, here's my thing with the Celtics. I actually did have them left for dead. But the thing that they could do very well is defend. They have four guys that can defend pretty much almost any position, the exception of Isaiah Thomas. They have Avery Bradley who could pretty much shard one through three, and I think if they can hit the three pointer, that's

why they've they've been doing so well. Obviously Rondo being out, but the Celtics have always been known for decent defense and they've been playing really well and now they're hitting their shots. So there's one on that. One game I do really want to talk about is the Grizzlies and the Spurs. They're they're on their way back to San Antonio after a Grizzlies over time when sponsor beater Marc Gasol,

him and Connelly been playing real well. Yeah, remember we talked about Conley, right, how he's a good guy, giving away all those tickets, giving away all those tickets, never got a tech in his career. He really There was a stretch in one of those games where I think it was Game three though, where Kauai, Leonard and Conley we're just going really back to back, you know, just at each other as though. It was almost like an

All Star game. You know. It was Connley down one end and then Kauai doing ridiculous like fade away jumpers really in the fourth quarter of that game. I believe it was on Saturday. Yeah, and I don't know about you. I just got a kind of quick question for you. With the exception of that when the Spurs had in game one, who do you have coming out of this series because a lot of these games have been fairly close. Yeah, no,

I hear you. I do think eventually that that the that the cream of rides to the top and that the Spurs will in fact move on. The only we talked about this going into the playoffs. I told you I was looking at the three six series is that I thought there could be some upsets, right if Russell put them on his back. I thought that was the potential. But Houston looks really good. They're hitting their shots, you know.

And then I told you the other series I was interested in the East was the three Verse the six. This Milwaukee Toronto, This Milwaukee Toronto series, I think is very very interesting. I think tonight is a huge game. I'm gonna tell you something. If the Bucks up there in Toronto, if they win tonight, I think it's a rat. Really yeah. If the Bucks win tonight, I don't think Toronto is gonna be able to come back in Milwaukee.

And uh, you know, and and Force against kind of agree with you there because I think I don't know if it was last game or the game before, they at one point they were shooting like three Toronto and I haven't seen them do that. Wow. I think they won one of their games where like eight four points or something like that, which there are eight seven. They're known to score a decent amount of points and that's just not very you know Toronto raptors like for sure, for sure. And so what we got up as a

poll right now, Donny, is uh who in the NBA title? Um? You know, the options are the Warriors, the Calves or anybody else like taking the field. I put this up something you know, Um a derivative of this last week and percent had the Warriors and fifty percent had the field. Well, something has changed because now right now on the poll, and it may be different. Right now say the Warriors,

nine percent, say the Calves, and say any and everybody else. Um, I would be in this repping golden state regardless of Steve Carr. Where do you look for I'm in the same vote. The only I think the thing you can make an argument about is last year they had Luke Walt and sitting in for Steve Carr. Though very very viable coach. But I mean that's the only thing I can think of. The Warriors look real great with or

without Kevin Durant, for sure, for sure. So keep on answering at that pole at f n T s Y radio at spitting speeds. We're gonna talk tomorrow, Donnie. I'm excited. I gonna have a couple of guests tomorrow. We're gonna be talking a little NBA. So I hope you're ready, Donnie. We're gonna have some guys. We're gonna be talking NBA. We're gonna be talking about all the stuff we've been

talking about all year. We're gonna give you a little playoff preview, and I'm gonna want to get into, um, the impact that Steve Carr and a coach would have for an elite team like the Golden State Warriors. Remember when, uh, you know, we thought Lebron was basically the coach of the Calves anyway all last year. But to keep it moving here in the cipher, I told you we're gonna focus on in the NFL Draft, which starts on Thursday, and we're gonna take a look here at the running

back position. Okay, So um, I'm gonna give you a little preview of a couple of guys who were gonna have their names called early. Some names you know, some names you might not know. Let me get the easy stuff out of the way, Okay. Leonard four Nette you may have heard of Lemon Fournette. He wears number seven for l s U because he reps the seventh ward in New Orleans. This guy, coming out of high school was thought of as like a next generation type prospect.

He thought there were comparisons to Adrian Peterson. And this guy did lead the nation in broken tackles. He broke eighty five tackles. This guy is not a speed guy. He's an in between the tackles guy. So if you're in a PPR league, I'm telling you this is not the fit for you. I think the comp here he's kind of a Todd Gurley type. Okay, that would be my that would be my comp comparison. There both sec guys, both in between the tackles guys, both guys that are

not going to catch passes necessarily. Bu can really break tackles and be that kind of first and second down back that a lot of teams are craving. Another guy you're gonna need to hear. This guy is like kind of the opposite. Okay, and I'm talking about Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey maybe a name that you remember. This guy is the son of former Denver Broncos wide receiver Ed McCaffrey. This guy is the other side. Okay. This guy is the mismatch in the slot. This this guy is the

running back out of the backfield. This guy is the speed acceleration, change of pace back. This guy is a complete beast coming out of Stanford. He is also Both of these guys are gonna be top I don't know, top fifteen. Picks. The only difference though, is I believe this guy is more like a Marshall Falk type. Okay, this guy McCaffrey, he fits into the NFL of two thousand seventeen. Leonard four Nette. Honestly, in my opinion, speeds

is here to tell you might be a dinosaur. If you want to compromise, though, might I suggest Dalvin Cook. I don't know if you guys remember remember the old like ice hockey games for Nintendo, you have to pick a fat guy, a skinny guy, in a medium guy. Well, Leonard Fournette is the fat guy, Christian McCaffrey is the skinny guy, and Dalvin Cook is the medium guy. This is a guy who was very elusive, gets yards after after the catch out of the backfield, but is still

this kind of north south downhill runner. Okay. This is a guy that um really is explosive okay, and can do these things out of the backfield. I'm gonna give you a couple of other running backs when we come back from break, and we're gonna talk about something that you may not know about. Dalvin Cook from Florida State and his diet. Okay, that's another poll question that we have up, but I'm telling you these big three backs that you're gonna hear early in round one on Thursday.

Think about him as the old ice hockey guys. Okay, Leonard four Nette is the big guy, Christian McCaffrey is the little skinny guy, the quick guy, and Dalvin Cook is that medium kind of do it all back. We're gonna talk more about Dalvin Cook and two other running backs and a sleeper that I think are really important to know as we go into the NFL Draft. We'll do that when we come back. All right, this is your boy, Dane Martinez Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports

Radio Network. Come on right back. Here comes the brand new flavor in your ear. It's your boy Dan Martinez, speeds and fitting STATUSSI and you're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and of course on all our Sports Byline affiliates around the country and with the American Forces Radio Network, all of our service men and women who was looking for a little taste of home around the globe. I'm so happy to provide it to you here on the Fantasy Freestyle.

So let's get back into these running backs that are coming out of the draft. I told you, if you ever played the old ice hockey game from regular Nintendo, you had to pick your line up, and they were like these fat guys who can like they could not run that fast, but they would hip check you and they were, you know, bruisers. Then they were like these fast, skinny guys, and then there were these medium guys you

would have to use to build your roster. Well, I'm telling you Christian McCaffrey is the skinny, elusive guy here in this NFL draft. Leonard four Nett is your big bruising between the tackles first and second down back, and Dalvin Cook is really your kind of do it all guy. Um. I think he's gonna thrive in this NFL of two thousand and seventeen coming out of Florida State. Interesting to

note though about Dalvin Cook. Donnie the Man loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because his grandma used to make him for him all the time. Do you like peanut butter and jelly? I do like peanut butter and nice, So it got me thinking. They got me thinking about, you know, peanut butter sandwiches and what's the best kind of peanut butter sandwich? So I have a pole question. Up, is a peanut butter and jelly? Is a peanut butter and honey? Is a peanut butter and banana? Or is

it peanut butter and new tela? And right now I get you not. This pole is getting more, you know, more votes than a lot of poles on the Fantasy Freestyle. Right now, most people got peanut butter and jelly. Okay, se peanut butter and jelly, twelve percent peanut butter and banana, nine peanut butter and nutella, and seven percent peanut butter and honey. And I must admit I have some write in votes here right now. Okay, Fantasy shed out there, Big props to him and Boost Kennerson. They have both

said what about fluff? Peanut butter and fluff. I don't ride with that, but it seems like people out there do love it. So we're gonna be talking about that. I mean, maybe that's what's leading Dalvin Cook to be a first round pick. There are two other running backs that I want to talk about real quick. One is

Alvin Kamara. These are two guys, or actually three guys that I want to touch on that might be sleepers, that might be later on, that you need to have an eye on, because if they wind up in a good situation, you might want to take a look at them the next year in your fantasy football. The first is Alvin Camara at a Tennessee. This guy is elusive. This guy can catch out of the backfield. Here's the

issue with him, durability. This guy only had fifteen or more touches five times in his college career, So I don't know if he's ready to withstand the the you know, the rigor of the NFL. But if he gets into the right situation where they use him right, Alvin Kamara is a stud, especially in PPR leagues. Then there's a guy Joe Mixon. This is a running back out of Oklahoma, Okay. This guy is known as potentially a first round talent.

Here's here's the issue he is now. He was not invited to the Combine and is off many teams draft boards because he has a domestic violence issue um in court right now. There's charges against him and and a lot of people just don't want that kind of character on their draft board. You may remember, uh Tyreek Hill wide receiver slash running back against from Kansas City Chiefs also had also had um these kind of issues um and he slid all the way to the fifth round.

So mixing, you know, maybe a first round talent but may slide all the way down. You had something to add on this, yere? Nope, sounds not because Donnie Burns sometimes is my big NFL guy. The only other guy I want to talk to you about this is a big time sleeper. James Conner running back out of Pittsburgh. Okay, this is a guy who was a stunt for two years at Pittsburgh, then had limphoma and actually came back

from limphoma to have a productive senior year. This is a guy that you know will kind of battle through anything, and I think was an elite running back at the college level on Pittsburgh. So take an eye keep an eye on James Connor, Joe Mixon, and Alvin Camara, three guys who may not go in the first round that may be able to help out your fantasy team moving forward.

We're gonna look at the quarterbacks you've heard of the bats and missed trabisity things like that. We're

gonna get into that a little bit tomorrow. Hey, Donnie Burns, now is when we put the fun in functional sports radio. Here's what I want to ask, because we we were talking about the Raptors and the Bucks right and right now, you should also know early in the second period, the Raptors are all over the Milwaukee Bucks. They're up by eleven right now, thirty eight to seven in that game in uh in Toronto. Right now, Donnie Burns, though, we got a couple of audio clips to play, if that's

all right? Are you there, my man? He's here, he's back. So I don't know if you saw this, but the Milwaukee Bucks were trolling the Toronto Raptors all weekend long. Okay, So we're gonna see if we got some audio from that. But first, uh, you know, I know my boy Benny Riccardi is a sneaker head, okay, and he cares about the sneakers. Well, the u n C football team they just heard that as a jump man school, they're getting

some new cleats. So we've got to audio, and then I want to hear Donnie Burns which you want you think is better? Which one are we gonna go with? First? Donnie, Let's go with the UNC. Sure, I think that sounds good. This is uh UNC head coach announcing to the team that they got some new cool cleats. Let's hear this well a Jordan's school now, MP schools, you all could

level your Donny. They went absolutely bunkers the video. You need to watch her with the video the video of the best part, if if if, if you guys, it's on my It's on my Twitter timeline right now at spitting speeds. Okay, these guys go absolutely bonkers because they're getting these new jump Man cleats, which is cool. I don't know. Benny Riccardi would love it. I went back and forth with Twitter on him. He said that that's a reason to sign with U n C if you're

getting recruited in multiple courses. So that's one thing. Okay, but yo, in the games in Milwaukee, when introducing when introducing the Toronto Raptors, okay, they played Toronto Raptors theme music and it was only the first of a bunch of things they did all weekend. Check out the music playing in the background when they introduced the Raptors in Milwaukee over the weekend. Let's hear that, Donny, and that the other guard from six rond numbers seven couch for

Toronto is playing that. Yeah, said, I was a little Barney action, little Barney, a little I love you, you love me. I don't know if that throws anybody off. Remember over the football season we were talking about it, like does it throw you off if the opponent has no shirt on when it's ten degrees outside, or if they're trolling you with the songs they play. But this is a little this is creative. I think this is interesting. But let me tell you something, Donnie. They did not

stop there. The next game. What they did they had like this faux dunk contest where they had like an eight year old girl and she went up to dunk, but she first was kicking and inflatable. Barneyst absolutely crazy. And then social media they got the Milwaukee Bucks mascot doing trivia questions. He asked, what's the difference between the Raptors and a dollar bill? The answer, you get four quarters out of a dollar bill. Jeez. They also said,

what's the difference. Why don't the Toronto Raptors have a website the answer because they can't string three ws together. Www going they're going hard. And also and also they asked what's the difference between the Toronto Raptors and a possum? They said nothing. They both played dead at home and get killed on the road. That is nuts, right, But Yo, right now the Raptors are answering back. They are up fort on the Milwaukee Bucks midway through the second up

there in the six in Toronto. So, Donny, I guess my question is which audio did you like better? The un See football team or the Barney background. I'm gonna go with the unc not just because I was watching the video, just every everyone was genuinely happy about that. And I like the trolling the Bucks are doing. But like the Bucks haven't been really anything special. I mean

this year, but like years passed. I hear you. I although I will tell you this, Donny, and I think we can talk about this maybe to row up tomorrow when I got my boys hold and can the double Kken and Kirby on air with me. Um, imagine what these Bucks would be like if Jabari Parker was healthy. Yeah, we were actually talking about that control They'd be scary great now but I'm talking about like in one or

two years, like who is you know. I mean, obviously if Jordan of Gordon Haywood signs with the Celtics and blah blah blah blah blah. But these Bucks are on the come up, and I would have laughed at that idea. I'm here like two years ago when Jason Kidd came over there to start the team. You know they are now bringing Greg Monroe and his max salary off the bench. Yeah, I thought it was a kind of a a stupid little ploy to bring over Jason Kid. But it's worked

out really well in the Bucks. Like you said, if they had Jabari Parker, they'd be even scarier. Absolutely absolutely, So check this out. Done, check this out. I had I had a commercial that was up, but it looks like it has officially been pulled from the internet, and I think that was a good decision. There's a Ford f one fifty commercial out there right now, okay, and it stars Madison bum Gardner. Okay, it's being it's airing

out there in San Francisco, starring Madison bum Gardner. But the funny part is, as you know, Madison bum Gardner just had a biking accident and you know, sprained his shoulder, Uh, damage his ribs and he's gonna miss some time. He's gonna miss some time. They say he's missing about you know, six to eight weeks. But check out this commercial that is now airing or just started to air in San Francisco.

Can you play that for me, Donny. What Madison bumb Gardner does on his day off is anyone's guess, but you can bet it probably involves a Ford F one fifty with a game changing aluminum alloy body. It's body panels won't rust like other trucks, and it really cleans up nicely. Perfect four D F one five the official truck of Madison bump Garden. So I don't know. I don't know, don if they were just like not sensitive to this, if they aired them they shot the commercial first.

I don't know if Madison bum Arganna got hurt filming this commercial, but it's like BMX bike clips, And if you're a Giants fan, this really gotta piss you off, right knowing that Madison Bumgarner, your cy young you know, Perennial stud just got hurt and it's gonna miss two months because of a biking accident. Now I gotta turn on the TV and talk about what Madison bum Gardner does on his off day and have BMX bikes in the commercial. I don't know you think they should pull

this ad, Donnie, I don't know. We were talking. I was talking about this with my friends the other day. You gotta you have to be sensitive to some of these players having lives outside of baseball. I mean, you can get hurt playing golf, you really can. A lot of these guys go out. Dustin Johnson fell down the stairs as the master slippery Slope. You gott you're you're gonna have to have your front office and managers have specific things, and don't you have that in the contract though? Right?

I don't know ifbout as specifically a Madison bumgard I mean sin if they can measure the if they can measure the density of the urine, then they've got to own you. Remember this is the Giants, right, These are the San Francisco Giants that doing all sorts of urine density measurements. You gotta think they were smart enough to put these kind of extracurricular things in the contract. They have to at this point because bombs. Very absolutely absolutely. I got one more thing for you, Danny, as we

put the fun in Functional Sports Radio. You know, we've been talking a lot about this Condo McGregor Floyd Floyd Mayweather fight, but I gotta ask you. I got two other boxers who I think are facing some interesting situations, and I want to know who would you rather be? Here?

First of all, Connello Alvarez, who on May six will be fighting Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. He is being sued for eight million dollars by his former trainer, man named Tutbala okay, saying that um because like he was their trainer and that golden boy like stole them, right, So uh like, would you rather be getting sued for eight

million dollars? Or would you rather be Adrian Broner who was pulled over in his truck that was littered with bullet holes because he was in Kentucky and got shot at out the club and now got pulled over, you know it was getting shot at. I don't know which one would you rather be? When we come back from break, we're gonna talk about this a tiny bit more, and we're also going to check in on this peanut butter action with Dalvin Cook. Okay, so all that and more

when we come back. I'm de boy Dan Martinez, a k A. That spitting Statistician. You're listening to the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're gonna tie a nice little bow. Would you rather be Canelo or Browner? And uh, what's your favorite peanut butter sandwich. We're gonna come back at the end of the show and discuss that before Fantasy First Look comes your way on the

Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm your boyd Dan Martinez, and you're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know what it is your day, Martinez ak to spitting statistician, and you're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

Of course, big shout out to all our Sports Byline affiliates across the country and with the American Forces Radio Network around the world, with our service men and women looking for a little taste to home, and Donnie Burns and Speeds are here to give it to you. So, Donnie, what would you rather be? Adrian Broner, who's getting shot at and pulled over. Or Canelo Alvarez who's getting sued for eight million by his former trainer. I'd probably have

to go at Adrian Browner. I actually saw the videos a problem here. I saw the video he actually once he got stopped, he was yelling about how he's rich and stuff. Right, right, so can dish out that money like I'd rather not be getting shot at all? Right, fair enough, And then I give a quick trick of our polls before we get into fantasy. First look, which is coming your way next on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Of course, my man Frankie Stanfell, Mikey Florio and the

Fantasy sus Joe Galina. They're gonna come your way in a couple of hours, keeping it moving from eight to ten. They're talking big thing. So we asked, first who do you have the Warriors, the Calves or the field right now? Fifty percent of you stay the Golden State Warriors. I guess they don't care if Steve Kurt needs to be there or not. And of you like the Calves, and

of you are taking the field. Interesting. I asked this question Warriors of the field last week, and scent of you had the Warriors now, so maybe we like the Warrior's chances better without Steve Carr. But in the main question,

Dalvin Cook loves his peanut butter sandwiches. First of all, big shout out to the over hundred and twenty five people that have already voted on this in the last hour of you like peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter and banana, nine peanut butter and nutella, seven percent say peanut butter and honey. Big shout out to the multiple write in votes that are saying peanut butter and fluff.

But I gotta tell you anybody's sticking with the Fantasy Sports radio network, my man Mike Florio, he says peanut butter sucks. So I'm gonna tell you you need to keep tuning into Fantasy First Look, and then call in eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine and tell mikey Florio why he is absolutely out of his mind, and then tell me about it tomorrow on the show. I'll be back seven a p m. It's boy, Dan Martinez speeds and spitting statistician. I got my guest
