Speaker 1 (00:11):
Hey, everybody, welcome to another edition of the cheat Sheet.
I almost said a different show name here, because you know,
I do a different show in the mornings. We'll go
to another edition of the Fantasy cheat Sheet on Marcus
grand Joy by micoat Florio.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And Lakwan Jones. Yeah, man, glad you guys could be
with us here on the stream.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We're always happy to have folks a little bit of
a you know, I would say a different show because
the show is very different. It is this. This show
has no real rhyme or reason or anything to it.
But we hang out here for a little while and
give you some fantasy football news along with just some
random chatter.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
But start with Floria.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You we I texted you a couple of days ago
because it looked for sure like the path was open
and clear for the New York Knickerbockers to move out
of the Eastern Conference finals.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
You guys just trying to win it at home, That's
all that is, right.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I think, so I hope. So this is what the
Knicks do right, Like, like, they had an opportunity to
close out Detroit and it took two games. They had
an opportunity last year to close out Philly. It took
two games, they had gained three. They could have like
they get too comfortable when they're when things are easy,
and they're like, this should be a lot harder for us,
So we're gonna make it harder for us. I was
(01:24):
so ready to come on here and have so much
fun after all this stuff people have said all series long.
But now I got to bite my tongue until Friday.
I will say this though, Friday Night is the biggest
nick game in twenty five years at MSG, and it's
on a Friday night. There's going to be in the
streets if.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
They say, if they win, the city is going to.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Be up for man better be ready because he's gonna
be needy.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Oh my god, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well as for me, basketball season ended last night in Minneapolis,
so you know we're we're on too. We're onto baseball
and fantasy football drafts and stuff. That's that's all.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
We're talking about a few things to go over.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
We're gonna have our edition of the film Festival. We
watched Havoc with Tom Hardy on the recommendation of la Quan,
so we will dive into that. There's some other football
related movie news to want to get into a little
bit as well. Also going to have your questions. If
you got any questions, throw them in the chat. We
will answer as many of them as we can, or
at least as many as that we feel, you know,
(02:27):
interested in answer.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Looks not an endless show. We got things to do.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
But I'd want to start with what was the biggest
news in the NFL on Wednesday? And that was schedule release. Yes,
I know we already know who the opponents are. We've
known that for months now. But now we have dates, dates,
times and locations for all of these games and I
don't know how much. Let's we can be honest here right,
(02:53):
how much schedule release content did you guys engage with?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yester?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
I was sleeping catching up a much needed well go
up to a whole bunch of schedule release videos. I
watched a couple and that was about it. That was
that was it for me.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
I I don't know what else to do with it,
you know.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I think that's fair. How about you, Floria? I mean
you were probably locked in with the.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Knicks, so fine. Not so it was in the midst
of the Knicks so I mean, I I we already
like I said on the pod the other day, I
look for a couple of things right international, Like I
did check the TNF and the Monday Night Football games,
and I will say, I know it's May. TNF looks
pretty juicy this year. Yeah, And then I checked the
Bills and I saw that we get Bill's Ravens week
one and that war is going to continue.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
But that's all I really did. Like I know, I
see people trying to like put fantasy angles on it
and stuff. I'm like, nah, I'm gonna go watch the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
So that gives me to kind of a point, right,
because you know, I've been doing this for a while,
and one of the things that was always a popular
piece of content after schedule release was like the strength
of schedule analysis, right where people would try and determine like,
oh man, the Cardinal schedule is really tough this year,
(04:07):
or look at the Vikings they have an easy schedule.
I feel like we're past that now, right, yes, because
I think we've realized that using last year's you know,
win lost record, or using last year's like fantasy points
allowed and that sort of thing, like it just makes
no sense because because everything's so different from years.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yes, defense, I mean defense has changed from the from
week one to week fifteen when injured and right, like,
look how many quarterbacks have played in the last couple
of years. Almost every team has had to have a
backup quarterback play at least some portion of a game
or something like that. So so much changes. But I
think the not to take a shot here, I think
(04:47):
the best ball bros Are are still deep in like
week seventeen. Let's get stacks against one another and stuff
like that, and I look, kudos to them. It could
work for them. I am never one.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Might work for us.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, I'm not that guy, though, I'm not sitting here
being like, well in week seventeen, like if they're like no, because.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
I'm an entire roster based on Week seventeen.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, well, it is a little bit of a guessing
game for sure, Right, Because the whole point being that
you want for those of you who are uninitiated, maybe
don't play a lot of best ball leagues because so
many of them, you know it comes down to that
final week or you can kind of get yourself into
a postseason or a playoff situation. It helps to have
(05:32):
not only team stacks where you may have a quarterback
and a wide receiver, quarterback, tight end, what have you,
but also game stacks. So if you look at a
late season schedule, I look at a late season game
and you think, oh, this game's going to have a
whole lot of points scored. You want to get players
on both sides of that game. So, for instance, I'm doing,
(05:54):
you know, let's say Cowboys Commanders right, which is a
week seventeen day, a game on Chris Day.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
If you really believe that you are going.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
To have a whole lot of scoring in that game,
then maybe you try to draft you know, Dak Prescott
on one side and get say Terry McLaurin or Deebo
Samuel on the other side so that you were represented
on both sides of that game. Injury, it doesn't always
work out. Doesn't always work out that way, No, because
the injuries. That's why I'm like, I can't look that far.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
They even try to think like, oh, let me get
Dak and then Terry mclauren that week, and then it's like, well,
Terry mclaurin's injured.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Knock on wood.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Week five, Dak is injured again. Because it's kind of
been every other season. This guy needs surgery. So it's like,
I don't even want to think like that. I want
to have fun, like make fantasy fun. Like I really
miss my home league, like being in person with their
live drafts and just building rosters and just having fun, man,
and just not think so hard and extra about things
(06:52):
that I cannot control.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
It's funny you say that, right, because I wonder, you know,
for those of us who do this mean, you know,
for the majority of people who play fantasy football, they're
in a couple of leagues. They're in home leagues or
office leagues or what have you, and that is kind
of the basis of it. For those of us who
do this and have found ourselves over the years, uh,
you know, suddenly drafting double digit, maybe in some cases
(07:16):
triple digit numbers of teams. Hey, look, I mean a
people who do who do like I've heard of leagues.
I do wonder at some point as like, you know,
do you hit critical mass? And you're just like, you
know what, I don't really care about my home league.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Now I care.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I care because it keeps me humble, is too like,
and it keeps me on my toes because I have
one league mate that will draft a ton of Broncos
players and it's like, dude, you don't have to watch
Broncos games.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
You don't even know what you're strong right logo, and
you're just gonna draft them, and it's like insane.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I Also I always tell people to play in home leagues,
you know, like if you do this a lot. I
was like, hey, go back and play in a league
with you know, more casual. They're more fun because they're
more fun for sure. Also, the draft is going to
throw you upside down, Like you just forget the most
part about it, right because when you when you draft
(08:15):
people who do this, like you know, like nobody's really
gonna take a quarterback. Maybe they take one in the third,
but generally people are going to wait to at least
the fifth or sixth round to get a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
You kind of know how things are gonna go.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yeah, casual drafts are way like yeah, I'll go ahead, Floria.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I always like my teams more in like leagues with
other people who do this and stuff, because I like
the guys that I want, and these people they like
they all like other players that they want and stuff.
So I always find myself having an easier time getting
the players I want. Like one of my home league
forget about it, Like they go out of their way
(08:53):
to get the players that they know that I want.
But like, yeah, in leagues like that, or even like
like other leagues that I do, like with people who
aren't as into this as we are, Like I'm always
those drafts are always the ones throwing me off because
the expert drafts have so much rhyme or reason and
we all know adyp's and all of that. That like
(09:13):
variance is kind of taking out the window exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I watched Patrick Mahomes in my home league go in
the first round three years in a row, and I
don't know why, but it's just like, Okay, a.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Couple of years ago, it made sense because here's the thing,
and the logic on its face makes sense. Right, quarterbacks
score the most points. Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback.
Patrick Mahomes should go early. I mean, that's the logic, right,
Like it's it's when you dig deeper into it and
you start talking about positional values and you know all
this roster construction, that's when you start to look and say,
hey man, it just doesn't really make sense, but on
(09:46):
his face, it makes perfect sense. It absolutely does, and
that's why those sorts of things happen. To your point, Floyd,
I've always said, the world's greatest swordsman has nothing to
fear from the world's second greatest sold ward to me, because.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Because you know, when you were at that level, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
The moves, right like, you know sort of the moves
and the strategies and what this other person they do.
The person you have to fear is the person doesn't
know anything, is just wildly swinging a sword around because
there's no predictability to it.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
It's just pure chaos. And that's kind of what that is.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
To completely change subjects. And Marcus, you'll appreciate this, LQ.
I'm sorry you won't. It's like in baseball, I never
understand why, like pitchers don't change like their motion every
like Johnny Kuato used to do it, but like I
would be throwing from a different arm, angle and motion,
and I know I would take my winters and learn
like every different pitch I could, because if you know
(10:39):
I'm throwing the same four pitches the same way every time,
it becomes so much easier for you to time it
and hit it and like to that point that that's
always what I'm thinking with baseball stuff on schedule, though,
I did want to say the NFL drop the ball
with one game?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Why is Bears lines Week two a one one pm
game stand alone?
Speaker 5 (11:06):
We get stand alone Monday night though with it Bears
and Vikings though.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, I mean I don't care about ce and them play.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I would love to see. I mean I want to see.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I want to see Ben Johnson take on the Lions
in primetime, like that should be an Island game.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
That is, they did drop the ball in that, yeah,
Thursday night.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Speaking of the schedule, I mean just a few things
of note, Like you know, you can't say build around them,
but uh, it seems like there's.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Only one real bipocalypse this year.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Finally we got on Week eight.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, Week eight, Uh, you got six teams on a
by Cardinals, Lions, Jaguars, Raiders.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Rams, Seahawks.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
We do, though have four teams on a bye in
Week fourteen.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
But even so, the NFL was like, you know what,
fantasy players, we got you going.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
To help you out. There's the forty there's the forty
nine ers who should have a few pieces.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
But you know, Panthers, Patriots, Giants, chances are, if you're
relying heavily on those teams to get you to the
fantasy playoffs, you're probably not gonna be a good shape.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Right, My week still matter, man, I still be drafting
and looking like, all right, let me not get screwed
by the by apocalypse.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Oh really, So I I used to do that.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I've stopped doing that, and like, because if it turns
out that I have a week where I just have
a whole bunch of dudes off.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Then you know, I remember one league I got to
just take the weeks. It was like six teams on mine,
and then it was like four teams on buy, and
then I got a group of like players that were
just like, oh yeah, yeah, this is useless. I'm screwed.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah, I you know, I will just take the I
mean I will try not to. Like, I'm not gonna
draft two quarterbacks with the same bye week. Yeah right,
I'll be aware of that because you.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Gotta be I number one, that's one on one.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Don't do that, you know, don't don't take two quarterbacks
the same bye week.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Beyond that, if.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
There's a player that I think is gonna do well
and I really want to draft him.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I'm not worried about the bye week.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Look, I know we talk about it sometimes, like I'm
fin like, look, you don't want to lose. There's only
fourteen weeks in the regular season, right, you don't want
to give games away. But I had a team last
year where like, on one of the six bye weeks
I was picking up like bombs to put in by
the start Life because all of my dudes were on
(13:29):
by and I was like, you know what, I know
I'm gonna I'm gonna get annihilated this week, but then
the rest of the year, I'm sitting pretty with my
full team while all of you guys are dealing with buyes.
So like, I'm not opposed to going that route either.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, although, look, schedule makers, we appreciate you sort of
lightening the week fourteen bye weeks, but there are still
three weeks with only two teams on a bye, Like
we could we can tighten this up.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Week eleven is almost like there's no buys.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Colts was a tailor.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Ain't nobody drafting him?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
So we good like, like you're right, No week Week
eleven is not gonna be much of a bye week
all the week. Seven Ravens bills ought to buy on
the same week. Like, that's gonna hurt. It's gona hurt
a lot of folks.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
They're gonna be on a fan bases. Put your swords
down for a week.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Basically.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
It's like they're calling like a social media ceasefires.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
What that is for a week?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
You know?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
It was just calm down a little bit, for sure.
Uh so, yeah, there it is.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
That's the schedule. A lot of fun. I haven't gone
through all the videos. I've only watched a couple of them.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I mean Chargers, Chargers, Crown.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
The Chargers is always excellent. There were you know, Minecraft
was was popular. I know, you know they did a
Minecraft video. The Colts did a Minecraft video, you know,
the Chargers with all the Easter eggs.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
That's gonna be like al saying in the social world, right, like.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
It is like showing up in the same outfit as
somebody else, Like, oh you did Minecraft, if.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
You were in the same shirt.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
You know, teams do anything cool. I haven't seen either
one of them yet.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Look, Brenda Song showed up.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
She knows she was in Yeah our studio. Yeah, yeah,
I saw that.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I appreciate that one. I love the one where she
has like basically going on and ran and then she
talked about the Seahawks and then it basically goes to
like a picture of Jared Vers just jumping like this
because it's basically what he did Sam Darnold when he
was a Viking. So I cannot wait for that matchup.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
It's you know, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I saw someone tweet recently because Brenda Song not just
a Rams fan, but in l a sports fan, which
is wild because she was born in the Sacramento area.
But you know, whatever it happens, come on, but you're
not like an all around I guess you've adopted the
Dodgers now because you're out here.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
So I went to my first game saw them hit
like five home runs. I was very happy about.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
That, very cool. But I did see a tweet.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
It was because it was it was into Song and
her husband, Macaulay Culkin at a Laker game, and like
she was all super super into it, and he was
kind of like, Yay, somebody's just sweeted. It's like he
just looks like the kind of husband who's just supportive
of his wife's Candies right, Like he doesn't care about sports,
he doesn't have a necessarily interest, but she's into it.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
And that part's cool.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Because he's a huge wrestling fan, because he went to
one of the w events here, Like he was more
so like let's go, and she was just like So
it's kind of cool that, you know, they both share
and support each other in there, and she's she.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Might be from the Bay, but I'm guessing she's been
in LA.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
She probably she's probably been in l A Sweet Life for.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Zach and Cody was a long time ago. You know,
she's done a bunch of stuff since I see her
in my brain immediately as like sweet Life a Zack
and Cody.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So, by the way, I guess I shouldn't be surprised
that Kevin McAllister is a fan of wrestling, considering what
he did to the Wet Bandits in the defense of
his home all those years ago, it sort of makes
sense that.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
He'd be a WWE fan. Marv Marv Marvin harry Man
like man.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I just randomly in my head just go never.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It's like a like a live action Tom and Jerry cartoons,
what those turned into at some point just bemash getting.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Hit in the head with paint cans and stuff that's wild.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Tried to kill them.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Always here to take your questions. If you have any,
feel free to throw them in the chat. And you
know you have questions, we'll make up answers. But we
did get one on Twitter from Michael Bittner and a
well thought this was a good one. As we look
at early ADP, is it looking like a better bet
taking a shot as an early QB or an early
(17:50):
tight end? This year seems like round three is the
early QB round.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Thoughts.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I mean, because it does seem like if you want
a QB early, round three is it's kind of you're going.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I much preferring If I'm going either QB or tight
end early, I much prefer QB. Same.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Yeah, it only makes more sense because look at all
the tight ends that blew up last year that they
were nowhere near the top of the ADP. You know,
like we got zach Ertz, Hunter, Henry and Johnny Smith
Fantasy relevant, you know, and then the mid rounds you
got David the Joke, who has been a top five
tight end these last two seasons, and he's not going
in the first five, six rounds, So I'd rather, you know,
go quarterback at the you know, the third five if
(18:31):
I have to.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Well, I was gonna say, I like, maybe I go
the other way.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
And I say that though, as I did a mock
draft earlier this week and I did take Jayden Daniels
late in the third round. Well I'm fine with that. Yeah, no, no,
I love the pick. I'm fine with it. But you know,
I don't know that I'm all bad on a third
round tight end. Like if I'm getting Brock Bauers in
the third round just because I can find another good
(18:55):
quarterback in round five, six, seven, I don't know if
I feel the same about the tight ends that are
still on the board at that point.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
No, that's fair, Like I just maybe part of it
is I feel like Brock Bauers is going to be
a second round pick, and I hate using I'm not using.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Doing that on a quarterback or a tight end, not
doing that.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
But with the QBS for me, I know, for a while,
I was like top five is totally great, but now
I think it's top three for me, Like I think
it's Alan Lamar and Jayden and if I miss out
on those three I'm just fine waiting on QB and
I'll take justin fields like four rounds.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
So you're out on Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Yeah. So I'm starting to do like my prep for
offenses for rankings and stuff like that, and I'm focused
like some I'm also gonna be doing stuff for insiders
on each offense and starting with the NFC. So like yesterday,
I was deep diving these offenses and I was shocked.
(19:58):
Like I watched every single game last year, right like
week to week everything, we all lived this. You guys
might be shocked by two. Jalen Hurts didn't throw for
three thousand yards last year. He didn't throw for twenty touchdowns,
so like he needs those double digit touchdowns to return
that elite value. And I know he's done it four
(20:19):
years in a row, but to me, it feels like
he is more dependent on it than ever well.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
In toush pushes. That's why.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah, I'm gonna say if the league ever decides that
they want to ban the tush push.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Which we find out next week the spring meeting maybe.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Which I don't one. I don't think is gonna happen too.
It shouldn't happen, just just leave it alone.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Just take it general.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
This is a moment in time because you have to
deal with it. This is a period in the league's history.
Like it's not gonna last forever. Just figure it out.
But if that goes away, Jalen Hurts does take a massive,
massive value hit.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Yeah, yeah, fantasy.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
But even if it doesn't, like there's there's what if
he rushes for eight instead of fourteen, you know, like
that's a huge, huge.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Going to He's probably gonna put up twenty this year
if they granted that, they're going to keep it like music, just.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Just one of those tables.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
They ran the ball over half their plays last year too,
Like they're just not and it's saquon and it makes
sense right, like but that when you're getting such little
passport and and then Joe Burrow is the opposite. Joe
Burrow doesn't run at all. That's why for me, the
top three are I think the cream of the crop
because you're getting the passing results and the running results
(21:39):
and you don't really have to worry about either.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Well, I'll say this, if the Bengals defenses as bad,
it's gonna be, especially if they don't figure out something
with Hendrickson.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Joe Burrow might throw the ball.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Seven hundred times Bengals basic first time comment from Shorty.
I picked my Homes in the third round last year
because we have a six point per touchdown league.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Qbsdumbst pick up my life and never again.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well last year, yeah, like it look, I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna dunk on you for it. I mean
it seemed like a good idea at the time, Like
nobody knew that, you know, Mahomes is going to have
a frustrating season.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I mean, we just didn't didn't know.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Like it makes sense, like it was nice like before
the season started with Hollywood and Rice and Worthy and Kelsey,
I guess. But more so like that's still pricey for
me though, that third round for Mahomes.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Not I was that was sort of the asking price
for Patrick Mahomes. I mean, because we still sort of
believed in the offense and what have you. You know again,
like so much of fantasy analysis is hindsight, Like you know,
we look back, We're like, man, I'll never do that again.
It's like, well, but you had a reason for it,
(22:48):
you know, there's logic for it. I just didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I thought we were going to get a bigger discount
on Mahomes than we currently are. Like, I don't know
if you guys remember at the end of the year,
everyone was like, he's not a top ten quarterback. He's
not even a QB one maybe, and like he's going
QB six seven, and like that's why I think it's appropriate.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
But I just was.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Hopeful to get hear I am getting bow Nicks and
all these basketball drafts in the eighth and NiFe round,
and I'm like, that's like a four round discount. I
have Nicks over Mahomes. So like it's just that real
life factor of him being Patrick Mahomes. You're not getting
that return.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
It's muscle memory, it is. It's the muscle memory thing again,
Like we can't quit the name my Homes gonna.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
It's gonna argue. I know, I'm the Mahomes guy, which
is crazy to me, but wild. His upside after the
top five is unmatched by anyone else because of.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
His actual talent.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
But it's not the offense mirroring his talent and upside
that I'm willing to gamble on in the third round.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
No, I'm not taking him in the third round one hundred.
But I understand why after the top five, Like it's
it's my logic. I just didn't think like he is
finished as the q BE one with over four hundred
points just a couple of years ago, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I mean so much of this too, though.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Is his receivers staying healthy, right, He's getting a full
season out in Hollywood Brown, It is getting a full
season out of rash Rice. It is hoping that Xavier
Worthy takes a step forward. It's hoping that, you know,
Travis Kelce can stif arm father time for one more year,
because that certainly didn't look like.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
The thing. You know, it looked kind of bad at
some point. So you know, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Question from Joe Saviano, Well, Drake may be a cheat
Floria Floria, Flora's yours a cheat code.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
I'm not going to guarantee that, but it's in his
range of outcomes because he's you saw last year right,
like he's mobile, he's a good athlete. Last year we
saw more of him using his legs to extend the
play and make some crazy like sideline throws and stuff
like that. I think we've all saw the physical talent.
But what stood out to me and I I don't
(25:00):
think it's enough talking points is Gerrod Mayo, at one
point late in the year last year straight up said
the quiet part out loud. He was like, Drake may
would be running more if we were competitive. He was like,
we we know we're not winning these games, that we're
not playing for anything this year, So our number one
priority is getting him reps and keeping him on the field.
(25:22):
If the Patriots are competitive this year, which I think
they will be more than in years past, he could
reach another level as a runner as well. Facts.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, I mean I looked at Drake May's season and
it was like it was one of those like you
kind of have to be there sort of moments, right
because if you just look at the numbers, there's nothing
about it. It's like, oh type, you know, Like I
think I looked at games that he started and finished,
because there's like a couple of games that he started
and like one he I think he had a concussion
and had to leave. Another game was like it was
(25:54):
like week eighteen. I think they let him play like
the first drive or whatever and then bench them. So
games where he started and finished only average, like two
hundred and twenty passing yards. He had I think fifteen touchdowns,
ten interceptions. Like the numbers on their face weren't particularly great,
but when you watched him, you got it. You understood
why the Patriots spent the number three pick on him
(26:16):
and what he can be. Now, the next question is,
you know, can they actually build that wide receiver room
because that's been a problem. Look, that was a problem
for the Patriots even during the Great Years, right, I
mean Bill Belichick was not great at scouting and or
developing wide receiver talent. You know, they they sort of
(26:38):
ran into you know, Wes Welker, he was a dolphin
that came over. They kind of ran into Julian Edelman,
they were picking up they picked up Randy Moss for
a year, but they never really developed wide receiver talent. So, like,
we'll see if they can do that now. But there's
reason to be excited this This.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Has been their best I would say, why receiver room,
Like across the board, I mean, Kyle Williams, Stefan Diggs,
you know the names are there, but more so you're
looking at this offense as a whole, where the run
game is exciting as well, now, like it's been boring
on multiple like positions, Like it's been boring at tight end,
even though Hunter Henry led them and receiving yards last season.
But it's Hunter Henry, Like he's not that charger hitting
(27:18):
that high ceiling that we all expected to do. But
I feel very optimistic about Drake May just being that
the pieces around him are actually exciting now, like there's
actually something there that he can actually hit that high
ceiling like I wouldn't if I would not be surprised.
He finished as like a top twelve, you know, quarterback
inside that top twelve, somewhere like flirting with top ten.
But being that, you know, we're still having.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Those question marks on play calling, how is this really
going to look like, how is he going to adapt
to mcdaald's his you know, adaptive you know, offensive play
calling and all this other stuff. But I'm willing to
take a shot on him, like Florio has been kind
of like getting me excited all Drake May a little
bit more each other to reach.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Because Florio is gonna take him if you wait, oh.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, yeah, definitely, and it's gonna be my top two
most qbs.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I'm about to say he's probably gonna be like the
guy that's gonna make like a cool, like clever joke
about his team with a may somewhere his name created.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I'm not that dude. I don't change. Most of my
teams are just Team Florio. Like I'm I'm led to
be that guy.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
I had two girlies in one cup for a very
long for a very long time. Like all my championship
belt that year I won, it says two girlies in
one cup.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
So that's funny.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I used to for a while, I would pick like
a theme, and I would name a bunch of teams
kind of around that themes, like like the My favorite
was the year I did a bunch of breaking bad
team names. Right, so I had like those toils Shermanos
with the pictures of Sherman. I had Skinny Pete Carroll
a couple of them. I had a few of them
(28:48):
that were sort of breaking bad themed.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Uh for a season. That was kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
So maybe I'll do a I was gonna do an
and or theme or something that like that. Who would
do a severance theme? That's true these and oudies. Uh,
don't be surprised the Patriots win the division. Rabel can coach,
he gets the most out of his players. I see,
I see Florio frowning.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
This is what every year. And I said it to
the Iron Rodgers, Jets, so to the two who Dolphins,
to all of them. We have reached the point where
until another team comes and wins the division, it belongs
to Josh Allen, not even the Buffalo Bills. To Josh Allen,
like it is his division and you gotta rip it
(29:29):
from him.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Who's the closest? Though, who's the closest have taken that ground?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Still, the Patriots are the Patriots of Jets are wild cards,
right because I could see both of them being competitive
this year. But if I had to pick, I'd probably
say the Dolphins because they're just more established.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
The Dolphins have more I think they have talent up
and down. They just yea, they just can't figure it out. Yeah,
so I don't like each other.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
And Mike McDaniel, I love him as a coach, but man,
he cannot beat the Bills.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Well, and this is the This may be a do
or die year for Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Yeah, the head coach.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Like if if it doesn't happen this year, I mean
at least make the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Like, dude, he lost, Like he's basically lost the dressing room.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Here's the sad part though, Like if you gave him may,
he's probably running that or like any of these other
young quarterbacks in the last year or so. Like, no
disrespect to Tua, but like when your QB misses a
full month like most seasons, it's it's really tough to
rebound from that.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, So yeah it's gonna be I'm
with you.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I think the Dolphins are, at least on paper, the
next best team. I also think at this point, yeah,
I think I would say it's Bill's fatigue necessarily. It's
not like how people feel about the Chiefs. But it's like,
you know, like in the NBA, right, you really could
give Nicole Yokich the m v P pretty much every year,
but it's like people are like, I don't know, it's
you know, and not that shake Gill. Just Alexander has
(30:59):
been bad and he's definitely worthy of it. But I
do think it's a little bit of like, yeah, we're
kind of tired of giving it to.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
You watched Like, as someone who has watched this series.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Yokich is the MVP.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
I know he's not gonna win it.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
He's not gonna win it.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
He's coaching his team on the sidelines, right, I think
he might be the most valuable player ever.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Which, by the way, the I know this isn't necessary
an NBA show, but like the Nuggets fired their coach
like a week before the playoffs started, and like they
still have a chance to get to the conference finals,
Like that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
The clip of he might be the Knicks head coach
next year, but I think Tims have saved this job.
But the clip of of Jokich is screaming at the
bench and the coach is watching him. I'm like, like,
what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (31:45):
And then after the series is over, just gonna get
on his horse and ride off into the sunset again
like he always does. All right, that was fun. Let's
get to the actual thing that we showed up here
for the film festival this year, we decided we were
gonna do Netflix action movies. But first, but first, I'm
(32:06):
sure you guys saw the photo of the Raiders movie
that's gonna come out, The Madden movie.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Hyeah.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Nicholas Cage as John Madden and Christian Bale as al Davis.
When I first saw the picture of a friend of
mine put in our one of our group chats, and
I was like, looking at my phone, I'm like, I
didn't know what it was. I thought Pete Carroll had
been stung by a bunch of bees. I was like what,
(32:38):
I'm like, what is happening in here? And then I realized, like, oh,
this is for that Madden movie with Nicholas Cage.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
There it is Nick Cage is John.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Look it looks like a like a like a bloated
Pete Carroll bloated for sure?
Speaker 2 (32:52):
You know for sure? Uh, Christian Bale is al Davis.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Which look, if anybody can do it, Christian Bale can
do it. I just want to know if he pulls
off the the the al Davis accent, which is very unique.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Probably I'm sure he could.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
I'm knowing how crazy he probably locked himself in a
room for two months and did nothing but watch old
Raiders stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Just watch old Raiders stuff, watch old al Davis press conferences.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Oh for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
So but yeah, in case you guys are curious, it
is a movie basically about John Madden and his evolution
from uh, you know, football coach to you know, video
game mogul, to just broadcaster and pitchman and that sort
of thing. Very fascinating life. I would say this with
Nick Cage in it, it could either be great or
(33:43):
it will be terrible, but it will be entertaining.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Everything touches is great to me. I was like, what
has he been in like a slump lately? Like I
don't remember any any big recent age movies.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
He's a lot of movies because he's got debt.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Is like, oh my god, he's since he's got like
twelve movies in the last two years.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Yeah, a lot of them.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Family one, what is it called Family one, the retirement Plan,
I don't know, you know, it was.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Like, dang it, I had to find it, but keep going.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
But like you know, because he did Long Legs, it
was just like a horror movie that got decent reviews.
I mean, I'm looking through these, I haven't even heard
a lot.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Of these straight to streaming movies.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Some of them are my.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Dude's pulling up Bruce Willis and he's just.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Like I watched I have no idea what that is.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
He's been doing a lot of movies because you know,
he needed dash so nick Age.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
You've been a world famous actor for like thirty years now, Man,
you shouldn't ye.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
No, because like apparently he buys ridiculous things.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Cage man, he's his money on ridiculous things.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
I saw too the sequel.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Oh man, I'm surprised he hasn't started remaking all his movie,
like just sequels to whom I'll watch Face Off one
hundred will you?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
When's the last time you watched Face Off?
Speaker 4 (35:15):
A couple of months ago?
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Really, because I we watched it for the film festival
couple years ago and I was like, yeah, it's a
rough watch.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
It's a rough watch.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
I ranked.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna take his face off
like it's a It's a rough watch for sure.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Anyway, that summer we watched fifteen movies. I've ranked in thirteenth.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, it just it was it was like I hadn't
seen it in years, and we went back and watched
it for the festival and I'm like, ooh.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
This was Wait where was last Action Hero? That was
the last one I recommended.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
I think you're gonna be said, because I was like,
waseddon I know some people love Armageddon, but yeah, that
was another one when I went back and watched it again,
like ooh, this was tough, this was not good.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Was an independence state back to back and I was like, yeah,
one of these blows the other one.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
But since we're on the subject of action movies, we
did watch Havoc, which was actually the the Film Festival
selection for the Week, starring Tom Hardy, Forrest Whittaker, Timothy
Olafants there It is directed, written and directed by Gareth Evans,
who also directed The Raid Redemption, which is a movie
(36:29):
we watched last year and all enjoyed quite thoroughly.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
The premise is simple.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
People are involved in gangsterism and Tom Hardy has to
save them.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Right, That's basically it. Right.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Gareth Evans is not one for like involved plots or
anything like that. I'll say this, there was more like
plot development in this than The Raid. Like the Raid
was like, here's a building full of bad guys, go
get them.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Like that was it. There was not a little more.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Plot in character development into it, and honestly I didn't
need it.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
I was confused at one point because look, I love
Tom Hardy, like he's an awesome actor. He kills it
in Peaky Blinders. I was like, Okay, his character did
something really bad, but like they just show like little
points of it, and I'm like, either show me or
just let me assume, you know, Like yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Yeah, they don't really clarify that. They also go through
a whole thing and like trying to show us that
he's kind of a bad father, but with no real
with no real payoff, right, Like you know, I didn't
realize that, but yes, the movie place around Christmas. It's
like literally Christmas Eve, and he's like buying terrible stuffed
(37:50):
animals from like a bodega or something, right, He's and
like trying to wrap them in newspaper to get something
for his daughter for Christmas. And then they go through
the whole movie and like one of the other cops
that he's been working with is like, hey, I'll deliver
the present to your daughter, and he's like, yeah, don't
do it. I don't want to ruin on Christmas. You
went through this whole thing, and should you get the
(38:11):
gift that you spent you know, thirty bucks on, Like
you bought like five different stuffed animals for thirty bucks
and she's not even gonna get him, like what was
the point of all that?
Speaker 4 (38:19):
But so many days went buying a movie and like
he never even attempted now to like where did Christmas go?
Speaker 3 (38:27):
But he didn't even try it a good point, Like
he wanted out right, like he didn't want to help
the mayor anymore. So so that problem was handled. He
he had it where he could have just walked away,
and he was like, no, I need to I need
to get caught now too, Like, dude, you should have
just turned yourself in at the beginning of the movie. Then,
(38:47):
who's thinking that?
Speaker 1 (38:50):
I did think, because like he says at one point
to Forrest Whitaker, who's running for mayor and is obviously
a big shot and seems sort of crooked. Uh in
whatever big city, whatever named big city that they are in,
got them It's not New York.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
I was like, this is in New York.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
It seems New york Ish, But like if you look
all the cop cars just say police, like it didn't
say a city name or anything like that. It definitely
has a New York vibe to it. But he says, like,
you know, when this is all over, I want you
to put your son on a plane. And I'd never
want to see your face again. And I'm like, he's
ready for mayor, Like how how are you not going
(39:25):
to see it? Because even if he doesn't win, like
he's he seems like a big enough person personality in
this town that like he's still going to be a.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Round billboard says I built this city and now up.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
In the end, that part sort of works itself out.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
So yeah, change of heart from the mayor. He went
from one second like I will kill my uh my
son's girlfriend to like I will die for them in
the matter of like five minutes, Andyler.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
I guess in seconds for sure. The other part of
this is at least half of this movie was filmed
during an earthquake. There's a lot of shaky camera. A
lot of shaky camera, like it's just all over the place.
It's doing the movement and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Like right, I'm just.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Like it's okay, I keep it still and like let
us enjoy the shootout and see what's happening. A lot
of shaky camera, a lot of a lot of blood,
Like I want to know what the blood budget was
on this show or in this movie, because there's a
lot of like those exploding blood squibs and people just
like literally getting hit by bullets and bursting into combat.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Movie was the bad guys make the shooters in Raid
look like marksmen, Like yes, were they were four feet
away from them at one point and just like spray.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
In the floor like stormtroopers from Star Wars. Man just
couldn't hit anything.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
The thing is that we got a lot of the
wacky waving, inflatable flailing arm tube man guys when getting shot,
like a lot of guys getting shot and just.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Doing the one guy in the in the scene when
the basement gets taken or whatever, he's just like he
stands up and I'm like, all right, what are you
gonna do? And then he just a million Like I'm like,
it felt like Denzel at the end of Training Day.
I said, also, this this movie, they definitely watched Four
(41:30):
Brothers before making it. Like numerous scenes I was like, oh,
this looks like it was taken straight from Four Brothers,
Like like the part where they're all in the house
hiding behind the bricks and it's and I was like, well,
that wouldn't hold you. So, like there's a scene where
they all just like kind of meet up at the
end and like everyone's just having like a dramatic walk
in and I was like, yeah, that seems pretty familiar, nostalgic.
(41:54):
I'll give you that. I enjoyed it, like it's one
of those movies that you enjoy for what.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
It is, you know, yes, because at some point I
just like I'm not because at some point I was
just like, wait, who exactly is chasing them?
Speaker 2 (42:06):
And why again? Like I'm like, you know what, don't
don't think about it.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
You know, there's all too many gunfights when you're hearing
NonStop shooting, and I'm like, yeah, I could look at
my phone anyway, like.
Speaker 4 (42:18):
So many people got ripped, Like, oh my god.
Speaker 5 (42:21):
I was so excited there's jose bred in a movie
because she watched Ray with me and like she was
just waiting for the hallway scene, like the fact that
she knew, like, oh, there's gonna be always seen, there's
gonna be a big fight, and that's exactly what happened
in that nightclub.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
Like it was incredible to watch again though, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
I owe I didn't know his name until you said it,
Marcus Timothy O. Yeah, Ola fant I owe him an
apology because the whole movie I was like, damn, Danny
Cordrey has a career path changed, like because that's all
I know him as is the salesman from the office.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Ah, that's funny. Yeah, no, he's I mean he's done
a lot of different things. He's kind of you know,
been around, had a pretty lengthy career. But yeah he
got to, uh, you know, play a dirty cop in
this one for.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
Sure, and like the typical dirty cop where he's like
I'm gonna go but like, you know, like I'm gonna
show you.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
How dirty of a copy I am over the line repeatedly,
habitual line stepper. Absolutely, Hey Nelson and Nelson must be
new to the cheat sheet. We appreciate you jumping in,
he says, bring it back to ball talk.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Now. This is like, this is the back half of
the show where we just we talk about.
Speaker 4 (43:32):
Oh yeah, this is the film Festival.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
The film Festival.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
We talk fantasy at the beginning, and then we switch over,
but we do for shate hanging out, like come back,
come back with us. Just just understand, you do, just
understand the back half of the show is going to be.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
It's we announced. It's not like we show up and
we're like, hey, this week's movie was this, Like, you
guys should watch with us and then you can be
given your thoughts in the comments.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
You can all you can all participate in that sort
of thing.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
We thought we thought Michael Lopez was breaking some news
in the comments about Uh, I ain't get that notification right, Yeah, no, Uh,
this has not happened. I think this is a Raider
fan hoping that it happens. But as for now, Trey
Hendrickson still a Bengal take him, although he says he's
not going to play on his current deal, so maybe
(44:28):
he holds out.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
We'll see. We'll see if John spy Tech bring him
to Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
You know, sometimes it's not about the money, it's about
the principle of it, and it is sort of feeling
like so the thing I will say and like this
is what I always remember in these situations. On one
of his contracts, Ricky Henderson said to the A's or
whoever it was was, I want to be paid one
dollar more than the highest paid left fielder.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
Right. It wasn't about the money. It was about, you know, basically.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Saying I'm better than all the the left fielders and
I want you to prove it by getting like, you know,
it's not.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
Like, oh I need a hundred million.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
It's like, I just want one dollar more than this
guy because I feel like I'm better than this guy.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
And it's it's kind of an ego thing.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
So I think it was a Rod had it in
his contract that if anyone ever got more money than him,
the Yankees had to up it so that he would
remain the highest paid player. I think he had that.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
In his It is it's an ego thing.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
Client like, what that's crazy. It's like, mister Deeds, if
you play bad, can I pay you less? True?
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Just you know, here a lot of people dropping mister
Deed's reference.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
I love mister Deeds, man. I think it's one of
the more underrated Adam Sandler movies.
Speaker 4 (45:43):
I haven't watched it one multiple times, that's the one
I haven't.
Speaker 3 (45:46):
Just I can quote most of that movie.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
I know it's one on Havoc. You're you're would you
watch Havoc again? I'm quant I'm sure you would. You
probably just have it like you watched it twice already.
Speaker 3 (45:59):
Three Wait wait, so you watched it twice on your own?
Speaker 4 (46:05):
Yes, my own. I watched it with Sabrina, and then
I watched it again on my own with Sabrina coming
in to recap.
Speaker 3 (46:12):
Oh okay, okay, I respect that.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
All right.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
Yeah, it's one of those movies like if it was
on and I was like flipping through the channels, I
would put it.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
On because it's Netflix. That's never gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (46:24):
Yeah, Like I see myself being like, let me open
up Netflix and throw Havoc on again.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
So my goal for myself in this film festival, if
we're gonna do Netflix action movies, is to find a
Netflix movie that I would want to watch a second time,
because I don't think I've ever seen one that I
was just like, yeah, I watched that.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
Again, because aren't they kind of made just.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
Want They're very They're very disposable. They are very, very disposable. Uh.
But that leads us to what I think should be
our next movie. And I believe Gavin had recommended this
last week or two weeks ago. Extraction, Yeah, which not
only has one sequel, but apparently it's getting a second
sequel very very soon.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
There's gonna be an Extraction threw.
Speaker 4 (47:07):
Well.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
I think it's it has a twenty twenty five release date,
so I don't think it's come out yet, but Extraction
one and Extraction two are already out, so I guess
we should just see where the whole thing begins with
Chris Hymsworth. So that'll be our our film festival.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
You know what I love about Netflix movies, What's that
they're all still two hours?
Speaker 1 (47:31):
They are, you know, like they get you in and
out pretty quick, and I think I sort of have to, like,
you have to get to the point if you're a
Netflix movie because at least at a movie theater, you're there, right,
You made the effort to get up and go out
and sit in the theater and watch this movie.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
So you're gonna stick it out for all I got.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
You know, people I know leave on bad movies, but
you stick it out for a while, like a Netflix movie.
If it's bad or slow, like you can usually just
hit the back button, they can go do something else.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
So like it's got to hook you, gotta hook you
real quick.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
Oh before we go, I had a thought, uh the
other day on on the Tuesday Show, we kind of
got into it at the end about fandom and sticking
with your teams and that sort of thing, and.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
I went on a little bit of a rant.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
So I thought about this for you, laquant and this
is not in any way meant to be like an
insult or a shot at you, But I feel like
because you were talking about, like, hey.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
Why wouldn't you just stick with your team?
Speaker 1 (48:28):
Like I've been a Rams fan, And what I realized
is that for you, as a Rams fan who grew
up in New Jersey, like the Rams is a tangible thing,
weren't ever real, if that makes sense, right, Like you
weren't going to Rams games, like because I was talking
about how like the Rams left LA and people stopped
following them, or the Rams left Saint Louis and people
(48:49):
there got upset and didn't care anymore. Because like for you,
as a Rams fan in New Jersey, you weren't in
a situation where you were going to Rams games consistently, right,
Like you weren't seeing the Rams. I guess if they
came to New York. If they came in New York,
I guess you could see them. But for you, for
you living in New Jersey, it didn't matter if they
were in Saint Louis, La, Mexico City, whatever, Narnia, Wakanda,
(49:12):
it didn't matter, like you were just following them from wherever,
and so I would love to see and like this
is all anecdotal, would love to see, just kind of
like the feelings of people who don't live who follow
teams that they don't live near, and their feelings on
a team's move, because I feel like if you don't
live near the team, you know, if you're a Raider
fan in Orlando or something like them moving from Oakland
(49:35):
to Las Vegas probably doesn't hit you the same way
because they're they're not real, sort of like real.
Speaker 3 (49:41):
When there was a time when the Bills were being
talked about leaving Buffalo, and I mean, I know I'm
from New York, but I'm from the city like eight
hours away from Buffalo. I wasn't growing up going to
games and stuff. I was still upset. I was like,
I don't know if I would root for them the same,
but it would be a lot differ if like the
Mets or Knicks were taken from me because I was going,
(50:03):
especially the Mets, Like I grew up in Shae Stadium.
I was there all the time and stuff, So like, yeah,
I get your point, Like if the Bills left, I
probably I would have been upset for like a year maybe,
and then I probably would have been like, all right,
well they're just as far from me now as they
always have been.
Speaker 1 (50:18):
Yeah, I mean I felt that way about the a
Like I had I still lived in the Bay.
Speaker 2 (50:23):
Area, I would be way more upset about the A's.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
I'm pretty upset about the A's and you know, leap,
John Fisher and all that kind of stuff, But you know,
having lived in LA for so long, it didn't hit
White as hard. I still hate watching them play in
a minor league ballpark and that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (50:37):
If you like now LQ. If the Rams were taken
from you now now yeah, the games and stuff.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
Yeah, it would definitely be a lot more emotional, I
think for you. If they picked up and moved like
back to Saint Louis or something that.
Speaker 4 (50:49):
Kind of pissed me off. Actually, yea, there I go.
People were getting on to getting somewhere. I think I
would catch me off.
Speaker 3 (50:56):
Yeah, how mad would you be if they became the
new Jersey Ram?
Speaker 2 (51:02):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (51:03):
I would be very private.
Speaker 4 (51:04):
I'd be like, you know what, you guys are trolling
me because I actually was a little bit like, ah, man,
I can't take a short flight to Saint Louis and
Edward Jones Dome, Like I've watched games there. I wanted
to see what that experience would be there. And then
they went to LA that.
Speaker 5 (51:18):
I thought about. I was like, well, they're going back home.
I actually had this whole thing growing up wanting to
live in LA and then being here is still mind blowing, because.
Speaker 4 (51:26):
Like it's one of those things. If I'm in LA now,
I'm expecting them to stay forever in LA, which kind
of looks like that's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
Sure, that's what they said the last time too.
Speaker 4 (51:37):
Listen, there's no reason for them to leave. Now, where
are they going to go? Nowhere?
Speaker 1 (51:41):
Saint Louis, Baby Louis right, the Raiders. The Raiders are
going from Oakland to LA back to Oakland to Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (51:49):
Like they could be the first international team that's coming. Yeah,
well the Jaguars.
Speaker 4 (51:54):
I got them pegged to be the first international team
to be in England because that's basically their home base now.
Speaker 1 (51:59):
Probably it's funny talk about the Rams. I once had
a chance to interview John Ham aka Don Draper and
he is from Saint Louis. I remember asking him like,
so are you a Rams fan? And he's like, well,
not really. He's like, growing up in Saint Louis, He's like,
we have the Cardinals, but they left to go to
Arizona when I was pretty young, so I was never
(52:19):
a Cardinals fan. And he's like, so we didn't have
a football team. He's like, and then when I moved
to La it is about the time the Rams picked
up and moved back to Saint Louis, so we were
started crossing paths.
Speaker 2 (52:30):
So he's like, yeah, no, he's like, I'm not really
a Rams fan. Like we were never in the same
space at the same time. It just never happened.
Speaker 3 (52:37):
And they were like, wherever city John Ham lives, we're
not gonna be. We're not going there. Of John Ham though,
on if you guys have Apple, uh, my friends and Neighbors.
Speaker 2 (52:49):
I've watched. I watch the first couple of episodes.
Speaker 1 (52:51):
Yeah, it's a it's a lot of fun, you know,
your friends of neighbors on Apple TV's John Ham sort
of like if Don Draper hit Hard Times.
Speaker 3 (53:02):
I really enjoyed it so far.
Speaker 1 (53:03):
So so it's a lot of fun, definitely worth checking. Ready,
then all right, that's enough. That's enough nonsense for this week.
I'll be back with you on Tuesday talking about I
don't know, some other nonsense. We'll see what happens over
the weekend and we'll kind of build.
Speaker 2 (53:16):
A show draft. We're doing more Renny drafts? Are we
doing more rookie draft? No?
Speaker 3 (53:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (53:20):
I'm still in few.
Speaker 5 (53:21):
I'm hoping to wrap up this one because we've been
drafting since the NFL Draft has ended.
Speaker 2 (53:26):
In people world, n yeah.
Speaker 3 (53:27):
I should be legitimately two and a half weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (53:30):
I should I should actually look and see if I'm
on the clock in one of these.
Speaker 4 (53:34):
Third round and we should have got the fourth to go.
I'm like, please, just I don't.
Speaker 3 (53:37):
Know about you, guys, man, the draft feels like a
solid year ago. Like that feels so long ago already.
Speaker 2 (53:42):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 (53:44):
Uh yeah, So I'm going back next week and then
of course next Thursday, back again here with the cheat sheet.
We appreciate you guys jumping in, hanging out and participating
in all of that. Pro producer Gavin for La Kwan
for Mike, I am Marcus. I enjoyed the week and everybody.
We'll talk to you again real soon.
Speaker 3 (54:00):
Wom
Hey, everybody, welcome to another edition of the cheat Sheet.
I almost said a different show name here, because you know,
I do a different show in the mornings. We'll go
to another edition of the Fantasy cheat Sheet on Marcus
grand Joy by micoat Florio.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And Lakwan Jones. Yeah, man, glad you guys could be
with us here on the stream.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We're always happy to have folks a little bit of
a you know, I would say a different show because
the show is very different. It is this. This show
has no real rhyme or reason or anything to it.
But we hang out here for a little while and
give you some fantasy football news along with just some
random chatter.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
But start with Floria.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You we I texted you a couple of days ago
because it looked for sure like the path was open
and clear for the New York Knickerbockers to move out
of the Eastern Conference finals.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
You guys just trying to win it at home, That's
all that is, right.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I think, so I hope. So this is what the
Knicks do right, Like, like, they had an opportunity to
close out Detroit and it took two games. They had
an opportunity last year to close out Philly. It took
two games, they had gained three. They could have like
they get too comfortable when they're when things are easy,
and they're like, this should be a lot harder for us,
So we're gonna make it harder for us. I was
(01:24):
so ready to come on here and have so much
fun after all this stuff people have said all series long.
But now I got to bite my tongue until Friday.
I will say this though, Friday Night is the biggest
nick game in twenty five years at MSG, and it's
on a Friday night. There's going to be in the
streets if.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
They say, if they win, the city is going to.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Be up for man better be ready because he's gonna
be needy.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Oh my god, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well as for me, basketball season ended last night in Minneapolis,
so you know we're we're on too. We're onto baseball
and fantasy football drafts and stuff. That's that's all.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
We're talking about a few things to go over.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
We're gonna have our edition of the film Festival. We
watched Havoc with Tom Hardy on the recommendation of la Quan,
so we will dive into that. There's some other football
related movie news to want to get into a little
bit as well. Also going to have your questions. If
you got any questions, throw them in the chat. We
will answer as many of them as we can, or
at least as many as that we feel, you know,
(02:27):
interested in answer.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Looks not an endless show. We got things to do.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
But I'd want to start with what was the biggest
news in the NFL on Wednesday? And that was schedule release. Yes,
I know we already know who the opponents are. We've
known that for months now. But now we have dates, dates,
times and locations for all of these games and I
don't know how much. Let's we can be honest here right,
(02:53):
how much schedule release content did you guys engage with?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yester?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
I was sleeping catching up a much needed well go
up to a whole bunch of schedule release videos. I
watched a couple and that was about it. That was
that was it for me.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
I I don't know what else to do with it,
you know.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I think that's fair. How about you, Floria? I mean
you were probably locked in with the.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Knicks, so fine. Not so it was in the midst
of the Knicks so I mean, I I we already
like I said on the pod the other day, I
look for a couple of things right international, Like I
did check the TNF and the Monday Night Football games,
and I will say, I know it's May. TNF looks
pretty juicy this year. Yeah, And then I checked the
Bills and I saw that we get Bill's Ravens week
one and that war is going to continue.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
But that's all I really did. Like I know, I
see people trying to like put fantasy angles on it
and stuff. I'm like, nah, I'm gonna go watch the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
So that gives me to kind of a point, right,
because you know, I've been doing this for a while,
and one of the things that was always a popular
piece of content after schedule release was like the strength
of schedule analysis, right where people would try and determine like,
oh man, the Cardinal schedule is really tough this year,
(04:07):
or look at the Vikings they have an easy schedule.
I feel like we're past that now, right, yes, because
I think we've realized that using last year's you know,
win lost record, or using last year's like fantasy points
allowed and that sort of thing, like it just makes
no sense because because everything's so different from years.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yes, defense, I mean defense has changed from the from
week one to week fifteen when injured and right, like,
look how many quarterbacks have played in the last couple
of years. Almost every team has had to have a
backup quarterback play at least some portion of a game
or something like that. So so much changes. But I
think the not to take a shot here, I think
(04:47):
the best ball bros Are are still deep in like
week seventeen. Let's get stacks against one another and stuff
like that, and I look, kudos to them. It could
work for them. I am never one.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Might work for us.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, I'm not that guy, though, I'm not sitting here
being like, well in week seventeen, like if they're like no, because.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
I'm an entire roster based on Week seventeen.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, well, it is a little bit of a guessing
game for sure, Right, Because the whole point being that
you want for those of you who are uninitiated, maybe
don't play a lot of best ball leagues because so
many of them, you know it comes down to that
final week or you can kind of get yourself into
a postseason or a playoff situation. It helps to have
(05:32):
not only team stacks where you may have a quarterback
and a wide receiver, quarterback, tight end, what have you,
but also game stacks. So if you look at a
late season schedule, I look at a late season game
and you think, oh, this game's going to have a
whole lot of points scored. You want to get players
on both sides of that game. So, for instance, I'm doing,
(05:54):
you know, let's say Cowboys Commanders right, which is a
week seventeen day, a game on Chris Day.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
If you really believe that you are going.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
To have a whole lot of scoring in that game,
then maybe you try to draft you know, Dak Prescott
on one side and get say Terry McLaurin or Deebo
Samuel on the other side so that you were represented
on both sides of that game. Injury, it doesn't always
work out. Doesn't always work out that way, No, because
the injuries. That's why I'm like, I can't look that far.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
They even try to think like, oh, let me get
Dak and then Terry mclauren that week, and then it's like, well,
Terry mclaurin's injured.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Knock on wood.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Week five, Dak is injured again. Because it's kind of
been every other season. This guy needs surgery. So it's like,
I don't even want to think like that. I want
to have fun, like make fantasy fun. Like I really
miss my home league, like being in person with their
live drafts and just building rosters and just having fun, man,
and just not think so hard and extra about things
(06:52):
that I cannot control.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
It's funny you say that, right, because I wonder, you know,
for those of us who do this mean, you know,
for the majority of people who play fantasy football, they're
in a couple of leagues. They're in home leagues or
office leagues or what have you, and that is kind
of the basis of it. For those of us who
do this and have found ourselves over the years, uh,
you know, suddenly drafting double digit, maybe in some cases
(07:16):
triple digit numbers of teams. Hey, look, I mean a
people who do who do like I've heard of leagues.
I do wonder at some point as like, you know,
do you hit critical mass? And you're just like, you
know what, I don't really care about my home league.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Now I care.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I care because it keeps me humble, is too like,
and it keeps me on my toes because I have
one league mate that will draft a ton of Broncos
players and it's like, dude, you don't have to watch
Broncos games.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
You don't even know what you're strong right logo, and
you're just gonna draft them, and it's like insane.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I Also I always tell people to play in home leagues,
you know, like if you do this a lot. I
was like, hey, go back and play in a league
with you know, more casual. They're more fun because they're
more fun for sure. Also, the draft is going to
throw you upside down, Like you just forget the most
part about it, right because when you when you draft
(08:15):
people who do this, like you know, like nobody's really
gonna take a quarterback. Maybe they take one in the third,
but generally people are going to wait to at least
the fifth or sixth round to get a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
You kind of know how things are gonna go.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yeah, casual drafts are way like yeah, I'll go ahead, Floria.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I always like my teams more in like leagues with
other people who do this and stuff, because I like
the guys that I want, and these people they like
they all like other players that they want and stuff.
So I always find myself having an easier time getting
the players I want. Like one of my home league
forget about it, Like they go out of their way
(08:53):
to get the players that they know that I want.
But like, yeah, in leagues like that, or even like
like other leagues that I do, like with people who
aren't as into this as we are, Like I'm always
those drafts are always the ones throwing me off because
the expert drafts have so much rhyme or reason and
we all know adyp's and all of that. That like
(09:13):
variance is kind of taking out the window exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I watched Patrick Mahomes in my home league go in
the first round three years in a row, and I
don't know why, but it's just like, Okay, a.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Couple of years ago, it made sense because here's the thing,
and the logic on its face makes sense. Right, quarterbacks
score the most points. Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback.
Patrick Mahomes should go early. I mean, that's the logic, right,
Like it's it's when you dig deeper into it and
you start talking about positional values and you know all
this roster construction, that's when you start to look and say,
hey man, it just doesn't really make sense, but on
(09:46):
his face, it makes perfect sense. It absolutely does, and
that's why those sorts of things happen. To your point, Floyd,
I've always said, the world's greatest swordsman has nothing to
fear from the world's second greatest sold ward to me, because.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Because you know, when you were at that level, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
The moves, right like, you know sort of the moves
and the strategies and what this other person they do.
The person you have to fear is the person doesn't
know anything, is just wildly swinging a sword around because
there's no predictability to it.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
It's just pure chaos. And that's kind of what that is.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
To completely change subjects. And Marcus, you'll appreciate this, LQ.
I'm sorry you won't. It's like in baseball, I never
understand why, like pitchers don't change like their motion every
like Johnny Kuato used to do it, but like I
would be throwing from a different arm, angle and motion,
and I know I would take my winters and learn
like every different pitch I could, because if you know
(10:39):
I'm throwing the same four pitches the same way every time,
it becomes so much easier for you to time it
and hit it and like to that point that that's
always what I'm thinking with baseball stuff on schedule, though,
I did want to say the NFL drop the ball
with one game?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Why is Bears lines Week two a one one pm
game stand alone?
Speaker 5 (11:06):
We get stand alone Monday night though with it Bears
and Vikings though.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, I mean I don't care about ce and them play.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I would love to see. I mean I want to see.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I want to see Ben Johnson take on the Lions
in primetime, like that should be an Island game.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
That is, they did drop the ball in that, yeah,
Thursday night.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Speaking of the schedule, I mean just a few things
of note, Like you know, you can't say build around them,
but uh, it seems like there's.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Only one real bipocalypse this year.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Finally we got on Week eight.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, Week eight, Uh, you got six teams on a
by Cardinals, Lions, Jaguars, Raiders.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Rams, Seahawks.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
We do, though have four teams on a bye in
Week fourteen.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
But even so, the NFL was like, you know what,
fantasy players, we got you going.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
To help you out. There's the forty there's the forty
nine ers who should have a few pieces.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
But you know, Panthers, Patriots, Giants, chances are, if you're
relying heavily on those teams to get you to the
fantasy playoffs, you're probably not gonna be a good shape.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Right, My week still matter, man, I still be drafting
and looking like, all right, let me not get screwed
by the by apocalypse.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Oh really, So I I used to do that.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I've stopped doing that, and like, because if it turns
out that I have a week where I just have
a whole bunch of dudes off.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Then you know, I remember one league I got to
just take the weeks. It was like six teams on mine,
and then it was like four teams on buy, and
then I got a group of like players that were
just like, oh yeah, yeah, this is useless. I'm screwed.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah, I you know, I will just take the I
mean I will try not to. Like, I'm not gonna
draft two quarterbacks with the same bye week. Yeah right,
I'll be aware of that because you.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Gotta be I number one, that's one on one.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Don't do that, you know, don't don't take two quarterbacks
the same bye week.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Beyond that, if.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
There's a player that I think is gonna do well
and I really want to draft him.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I'm not worried about the bye week.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Look, I know we talk about it sometimes, like I'm
fin like, look, you don't want to lose. There's only
fourteen weeks in the regular season, right, you don't want
to give games away. But I had a team last
year where like, on one of the six bye weeks
I was picking up like bombs to put in by
the start Life because all of my dudes were on
(13:29):
by and I was like, you know what, I know
I'm gonna I'm gonna get annihilated this week, but then
the rest of the year, I'm sitting pretty with my
full team while all of you guys are dealing with buyes.
So like, I'm not opposed to going that route either.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, although, look, schedule makers, we appreciate you sort of
lightening the week fourteen bye weeks, but there are still
three weeks with only two teams on a bye, Like
we could we can tighten this up.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Week eleven is almost like there's no buys.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Colts was a tailor.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Ain't nobody drafting him?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
So we good like, like you're right, No week Week
eleven is not gonna be much of a bye week
all the week. Seven Ravens bills ought to buy on
the same week. Like, that's gonna hurt. It's gona hurt
a lot of folks.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
They're gonna be on a fan bases. Put your swords
down for a week.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Basically.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
It's like they're calling like a social media ceasefires.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
What that is for a week?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
You know?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
It was just calm down a little bit, for sure.
Uh so, yeah, there it is.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
That's the schedule. A lot of fun. I haven't gone
through all the videos. I've only watched a couple of them.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I mean Chargers, Chargers, Crown.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
The Chargers is always excellent. There were you know, Minecraft
was was popular. I know, you know they did a
Minecraft video. The Colts did a Minecraft video, you know,
the Chargers with all the Easter eggs.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
That's gonna be like al saying in the social world, right, like.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
It is like showing up in the same outfit as
somebody else, Like, oh you did Minecraft, if.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
You were in the same shirt.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
You know, teams do anything cool. I haven't seen either
one of them yet.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Look, Brenda Song showed up.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
She knows she was in Yeah our studio. Yeah, yeah,
I saw that.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I appreciate that one. I love the one where she
has like basically going on and ran and then she
talked about the Seahawks and then it basically goes to
like a picture of Jared Vers just jumping like this
because it's basically what he did Sam Darnold when he
was a Viking. So I cannot wait for that matchup.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
It's you know, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I saw someone tweet recently because Brenda Song not just
a Rams fan, but in l a sports fan, which
is wild because she was born in the Sacramento area.
But you know, whatever it happens, come on, but you're
not like an all around I guess you've adopted the
Dodgers now because you're out here.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
So I went to my first game saw them hit
like five home runs. I was very happy about.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
That, very cool. But I did see a tweet.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
It was because it was it was into Song and
her husband, Macaulay Culkin at a Laker game, and like
she was all super super into it, and he was
kind of like, Yay, somebody's just sweeted. It's like he
just looks like the kind of husband who's just supportive
of his wife's Candies right, Like he doesn't care about sports,
he doesn't have a necessarily interest, but she's into it.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
And that part's cool.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Because he's a huge wrestling fan, because he went to
one of the w events here, Like he was more
so like let's go, and she was just like So
it's kind of cool that, you know, they both share
and support each other in there, and she's she.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Might be from the Bay, but I'm guessing she's been
in LA.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
She probably she's probably been in l A Sweet Life for.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Zach and Cody was a long time ago. You know,
she's done a bunch of stuff since I see her
in my brain immediately as like sweet Life a Zack
and Cody.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So, by the way, I guess I shouldn't be surprised
that Kevin McAllister is a fan of wrestling, considering what
he did to the Wet Bandits in the defense of
his home all those years ago, it sort of makes
sense that.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
He'd be a WWE fan. Marv Marv Marvin harry Man
like man.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I just randomly in my head just go never.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It's like a like a live action Tom and Jerry cartoons,
what those turned into at some point just bemash getting.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Hit in the head with paint cans and stuff that's wild.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Tried to kill them.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Always here to take your questions. If you have any,
feel free to throw them in the chat. And you
know you have questions, we'll make up answers. But we
did get one on Twitter from Michael Bittner and a
well thought this was a good one. As we look
at early ADP, is it looking like a better bet
taking a shot as an early QB or an early
(17:50):
tight end? This year seems like round three is the
early QB round.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Thoughts.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I mean, because it does seem like if you want
a QB early, round three is it's kind of you're going.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I much preferring If I'm going either QB or tight
end early, I much prefer QB. Same.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Yeah, it only makes more sense because look at all
the tight ends that blew up last year that they
were nowhere near the top of the ADP. You know,
like we got zach Ertz, Hunter, Henry and Johnny Smith
Fantasy relevant, you know, and then the mid rounds you
got David the Joke, who has been a top five
tight end these last two seasons, and he's not going
in the first five, six rounds, So I'd rather, you know,
go quarterback at the you know, the third five if
(18:31):
I have to.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Well, I was gonna say, I like, maybe I go
the other way.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
And I say that though, as I did a mock
draft earlier this week and I did take Jayden Daniels
late in the third round. Well I'm fine with that. Yeah, no, no,
I love the pick. I'm fine with it. But you know,
I don't know that I'm all bad on a third
round tight end. Like if I'm getting Brock Bauers in
the third round just because I can find another good
(18:55):
quarterback in round five, six, seven, I don't know if
I feel the same about the tight ends that are
still on the board at that point.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
No, that's fair, Like I just maybe part of it
is I feel like Brock Bauers is going to be
a second round pick, and I hate using I'm not using.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Doing that on a quarterback or a tight end, not
doing that.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
But with the QBS for me, I know, for a while,
I was like top five is totally great, but now
I think it's top three for me, Like I think
it's Alan Lamar and Jayden and if I miss out
on those three I'm just fine waiting on QB and
I'll take justin fields like four rounds.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
So you're out on Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Yeah. So I'm starting to do like my prep for
offenses for rankings and stuff like that, and I'm focused
like some I'm also gonna be doing stuff for insiders
on each offense and starting with the NFC. So like yesterday,
I was deep diving these offenses and I was shocked.
(19:58):
Like I watched every single game last year, right like
week to week everything, we all lived this. You guys
might be shocked by two. Jalen Hurts didn't throw for
three thousand yards last year. He didn't throw for twenty touchdowns,
so like he needs those double digit touchdowns to return
that elite value. And I know he's done it four
(20:19):
years in a row, but to me, it feels like
he is more dependent on it than ever well.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
In toush pushes. That's why.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah, I'm gonna say if the league ever decides that
they want to ban the tush push.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Which we find out next week the spring meeting maybe.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Which I don't one. I don't think is gonna happen too.
It shouldn't happen, just just leave it alone.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Just take it general.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
This is a moment in time because you have to
deal with it. This is a period in the league's history.
Like it's not gonna last forever. Just figure it out.
But if that goes away, Jalen Hurts does take a massive,
massive value hit.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Yeah, yeah, fantasy.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
But even if it doesn't, like there's there's what if
he rushes for eight instead of fourteen, you know, like
that's a huge, huge.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Going to He's probably gonna put up twenty this year
if they granted that, they're going to keep it like music, just.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Just one of those tables.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
They ran the ball over half their plays last year too,
Like they're just not and it's saquon and it makes
sense right, like but that when you're getting such little
passport and and then Joe Burrow is the opposite. Joe
Burrow doesn't run at all. That's why for me, the
top three are I think the cream of the crop
because you're getting the passing results and the running results
(21:39):
and you don't really have to worry about either.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Well, I'll say this, if the Bengals defenses as bad,
it's gonna be, especially if they don't figure out something
with Hendrickson.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Joe Burrow might throw the ball.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Seven hundred times Bengals basic first time comment from Shorty.
I picked my Homes in the third round last year
because we have a six point per touchdown league.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Qbsdumbst pick up my life and never again.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well last year, yeah, like it look, I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna dunk on you for it. I mean
it seemed like a good idea at the time, Like
nobody knew that, you know, Mahomes is going to have
a frustrating season.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I mean, we just didn't didn't know.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Like it makes sense, like it was nice like before
the season started with Hollywood and Rice and Worthy and Kelsey,
I guess. But more so like that's still pricey for
me though, that third round for Mahomes.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Not I was that was sort of the asking price
for Patrick Mahomes. I mean, because we still sort of
believed in the offense and what have you. You know again,
like so much of fantasy analysis is hindsight, Like you know,
we look back, We're like, man, I'll never do that again.
It's like, well, but you had a reason for it,
(22:48):
you know, there's logic for it. I just didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I thought we were going to get a bigger discount
on Mahomes than we currently are. Like, I don't know
if you guys remember at the end of the year,
everyone was like, he's not a top ten quarterback. He's
not even a QB one maybe, and like he's going
QB six seven, and like that's why I think it's appropriate.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
But I just was.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Hopeful to get hear I am getting bow Nicks and
all these basketball drafts in the eighth and NiFe round,
and I'm like, that's like a four round discount. I
have Nicks over Mahomes. So like it's just that real
life factor of him being Patrick Mahomes. You're not getting
that return.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
It's muscle memory, it is. It's the muscle memory thing again,
Like we can't quit the name my Homes gonna.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
It's gonna argue. I know, I'm the Mahomes guy, which
is crazy to me, but wild. His upside after the
top five is unmatched by anyone else because of.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
His actual talent.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
But it's not the offense mirroring his talent and upside
that I'm willing to gamble on in the third round.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
No, I'm not taking him in the third round one hundred.
But I understand why after the top five, Like it's
it's my logic. I just didn't think like he is
finished as the q BE one with over four hundred
points just a couple of years ago, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I mean so much of this too, though.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Is his receivers staying healthy, right, He's getting a full
season out in Hollywood Brown, It is getting a full
season out of rash Rice. It is hoping that Xavier
Worthy takes a step forward. It's hoping that, you know,
Travis Kelce can stif arm father time for one more year,
because that certainly didn't look like.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
The thing. You know, it looked kind of bad at
some point. So you know, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Question from Joe Saviano, Well, Drake may be a cheat
Floria Floria, Flora's yours a cheat code.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
I'm not going to guarantee that, but it's in his
range of outcomes because he's you saw last year right,
like he's mobile, he's a good athlete. Last year we
saw more of him using his legs to extend the
play and make some crazy like sideline throws and stuff
like that. I think we've all saw the physical talent.
But what stood out to me and I I don't
(25:00):
think it's enough talking points is Gerrod Mayo, at one
point late in the year last year straight up said
the quiet part out loud. He was like, Drake may
would be running more if we were competitive. He was like,
we we know we're not winning these games, that we're
not playing for anything this year, So our number one
priority is getting him reps and keeping him on the field.
(25:22):
If the Patriots are competitive this year, which I think
they will be more than in years past, he could
reach another level as a runner as well. Facts.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, I mean I looked at Drake May's season and
it was like it was one of those like you
kind of have to be there sort of moments, right
because if you just look at the numbers, there's nothing
about it. It's like, oh type, you know, Like I
think I looked at games that he started and finished,
because there's like a couple of games that he started
and like one he I think he had a concussion
and had to leave. Another game was like it was
(25:54):
like week eighteen. I think they let him play like
the first drive or whatever and then bench them. So
games where he started and finished only average, like two
hundred and twenty passing yards. He had I think fifteen touchdowns,
ten interceptions. Like the numbers on their face weren't particularly great,
but when you watched him, you got it. You understood
why the Patriots spent the number three pick on him
(26:16):
and what he can be. Now, the next question is,
you know, can they actually build that wide receiver room
because that's been a problem. Look, that was a problem
for the Patriots even during the Great Years, right, I
mean Bill Belichick was not great at scouting and or
developing wide receiver talent. You know, they they sort of
(26:38):
ran into you know, Wes Welker, he was a dolphin
that came over. They kind of ran into Julian Edelman,
they were picking up they picked up Randy Moss for
a year, but they never really developed wide receiver talent. So, like,
we'll see if they can do that now. But there's
reason to be excited this This.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Has been their best I would say, why receiver room,
Like across the board, I mean, Kyle Williams, Stefan Diggs,
you know the names are there, but more so you're
looking at this offense as a whole, where the run
game is exciting as well, now, like it's been boring
on multiple like positions, Like it's been boring at tight end,
even though Hunter Henry led them and receiving yards last season.
But it's Hunter Henry, Like he's not that charger hitting
(27:18):
that high ceiling that we all expected to do. But
I feel very optimistic about Drake May just being that
the pieces around him are actually exciting now, like there's
actually something there that he can actually hit that high
ceiling like I wouldn't if I would not be surprised.
He finished as like a top twelve, you know, quarterback
inside that top twelve, somewhere like flirting with top ten.
But being that, you know, we're still having.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Those question marks on play calling, how is this really
going to look like, how is he going to adapt
to mcdaald's his you know, adaptive you know, offensive play
calling and all this other stuff. But I'm willing to
take a shot on him, like Florio has been kind
of like getting me excited all Drake May a little
bit more each other to reach.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Because Florio is gonna take him if you wait, oh.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, yeah, definitely, and it's gonna be my top two
most qbs.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I'm about to say he's probably gonna be like the
guy that's gonna make like a cool, like clever joke
about his team with a may somewhere his name created.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I'm not that dude. I don't change. Most of my
teams are just Team Florio. Like I'm I'm led to
be that guy.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
I had two girlies in one cup for a very
long for a very long time. Like all my championship
belt that year I won, it says two girlies in
one cup.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
So that's funny.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I used to for a while, I would pick like
a theme, and I would name a bunch of teams
kind of around that themes, like like the My favorite
was the year I did a bunch of breaking bad
team names. Right, so I had like those toils Shermanos
with the pictures of Sherman. I had Skinny Pete Carroll
a couple of them. I had a few of them
(28:48):
that were sort of breaking bad themed.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Uh for a season. That was kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
So maybe I'll do a I was gonna do an
and or theme or something that like that. Who would
do a severance theme? That's true these and oudies. Uh,
don't be surprised the Patriots win the division. Rabel can coach,
he gets the most out of his players. I see,
I see Florio frowning.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
This is what every year. And I said it to
the Iron Rodgers, Jets, so to the two who Dolphins,
to all of them. We have reached the point where
until another team comes and wins the division, it belongs
to Josh Allen, not even the Buffalo Bills. To Josh Allen,
like it is his division and you gotta rip it
(29:29):
from him.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Who's the closest? Though, who's the closest have taken that ground?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Still, the Patriots are the Patriots of Jets are wild cards,
right because I could see both of them being competitive
this year. But if I had to pick, I'd probably
say the Dolphins because they're just more established.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
The Dolphins have more I think they have talent up
and down. They just yea, they just can't figure it out. Yeah,
so I don't like each other.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
And Mike McDaniel, I love him as a coach, but man,
he cannot beat the Bills.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Well, and this is the This may be a do
or die year for Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Yeah, the head coach.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Like if if it doesn't happen this year, I mean
at least make the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Like, dude, he lost, Like he's basically lost the dressing room.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Here's the sad part though, Like if you gave him may,
he's probably running that or like any of these other
young quarterbacks in the last year or so. Like, no
disrespect to Tua, but like when your QB misses a
full month like most seasons, it's it's really tough to
rebound from that.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, So yeah it's gonna be I'm
with you.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I think the Dolphins are, at least on paper, the
next best team. I also think at this point, yeah,
I think I would say it's Bill's fatigue necessarily. It's
not like how people feel about the Chiefs. But it's like,
you know, like in the NBA, right, you really could
give Nicole Yokich the m v P pretty much every year,
but it's like people are like, I don't know, it's
you know, and not that shake Gill. Just Alexander has
(30:59):
been bad and he's definitely worthy of it. But I
do think it's a little bit of like, yeah, we're
kind of tired of giving it to.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
You watched Like, as someone who has watched this series.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Yokich is the MVP.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
I know he's not gonna win it.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
He's not gonna win it.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
He's coaching his team on the sidelines, right, I think
he might be the most valuable player ever.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Which, by the way, the I know this isn't necessary
an NBA show, but like the Nuggets fired their coach
like a week before the playoffs started, and like they
still have a chance to get to the conference finals,
Like that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
The clip of he might be the Knicks head coach
next year, but I think Tims have saved this job.
But the clip of of Jokich is screaming at the
bench and the coach is watching him. I'm like, like,
what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (31:45):
And then after the series is over, just gonna get
on his horse and ride off into the sunset again
like he always does. All right, that was fun. Let's
get to the actual thing that we showed up here
for the film festival this year, we decided we were
gonna do Netflix action movies. But first, but first, I'm
(32:06):
sure you guys saw the photo of the Raiders movie
that's gonna come out, The Madden movie.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Hyeah.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Nicholas Cage as John Madden and Christian Bale as al Davis.
When I first saw the picture of a friend of
mine put in our one of our group chats, and
I was like, looking at my phone, I'm like, I
didn't know what it was. I thought Pete Carroll had
been stung by a bunch of bees. I was like what,
(32:38):
I'm like, what is happening in here? And then I realized, like, oh,
this is for that Madden movie with Nicholas Cage.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
There it is Nick Cage is John.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Look it looks like a like a like a bloated
Pete Carroll bloated for sure?
Speaker 2 (32:52):
You know for sure? Uh, Christian Bale is al Davis.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Which look, if anybody can do it, Christian Bale can
do it. I just want to know if he pulls
off the the the al Davis accent, which is very unique.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Probably I'm sure he could.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
I'm knowing how crazy he probably locked himself in a
room for two months and did nothing but watch old
Raiders stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Just watch old Raiders stuff, watch old al Davis press conferences.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Oh for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
So but yeah, in case you guys are curious, it
is a movie basically about John Madden and his evolution
from uh, you know, football coach to you know, video
game mogul, to just broadcaster and pitchman and that sort
of thing. Very fascinating life. I would say this with
Nick Cage in it, it could either be great or
(33:43):
it will be terrible, but it will be entertaining.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Everything touches is great to me. I was like, what
has he been in like a slump lately? Like I
don't remember any any big recent age movies.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
He's a lot of movies because he's got debt.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Is like, oh my god, he's since he's got like
twelve movies in the last two years.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Yeah, a lot of them.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Family one, what is it called Family one, the retirement Plan,
I don't know, you know, it was.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Like, dang it, I had to find it, but keep going.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
But like you know, because he did Long Legs, it
was just like a horror movie that got decent reviews.
I mean, I'm looking through these, I haven't even heard
a lot.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Of these straight to streaming movies.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Some of them are my.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Dude's pulling up Bruce Willis and he's just.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Like I watched I have no idea what that is.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
He's been doing a lot of movies because you know,
he needed dash so nick Age.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
You've been a world famous actor for like thirty years now, Man,
you shouldn't ye.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
No, because like apparently he buys ridiculous things.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Cage man, he's his money on ridiculous things.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
I saw too the sequel.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Oh man, I'm surprised he hasn't started remaking all his movie,
like just sequels to whom I'll watch Face Off one
hundred will you?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
When's the last time you watched Face Off?
Speaker 4 (35:15):
A couple of months ago?
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Really, because I we watched it for the film festival
couple years ago and I was like, yeah, it's a
rough watch.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
It's a rough watch.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
I ranked.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna take his face off
like it's a It's a rough watch for sure.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Anyway, that summer we watched fifteen movies. I've ranked in thirteenth.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, it just it was it was like I hadn't
seen it in years, and we went back and watched
it for the festival and I'm like, ooh.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
This was Wait where was last Action Hero? That was
the last one I recommended.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
I think you're gonna be said, because I was like,
waseddon I know some people love Armageddon, but yeah, that
was another one when I went back and watched it again,
like ooh, this was tough, this was not good.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Was an independence state back to back and I was like, yeah,
one of these blows the other one.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
But since we're on the subject of action movies, we
did watch Havoc, which was actually the the Film Festival
selection for the Week, starring Tom Hardy, Forrest Whittaker, Timothy
Olafants there It is directed, written and directed by Gareth Evans,
who also directed The Raid Redemption, which is a movie
(36:29):
we watched last year and all enjoyed quite thoroughly.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
The premise is simple.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
People are involved in gangsterism and Tom Hardy has to
save them.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Right, That's basically it. Right.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Gareth Evans is not one for like involved plots or
anything like that. I'll say this, there was more like
plot development in this than The Raid. Like the Raid
was like, here's a building full of bad guys, go
get them.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Like that was it. There was not a little more.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Plot in character development into it, and honestly I didn't
need it.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
I was confused at one point because look, I love
Tom Hardy, like he's an awesome actor. He kills it
in Peaky Blinders. I was like, Okay, his character did
something really bad, but like they just show like little
points of it, and I'm like, either show me or
just let me assume, you know, Like yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Yeah, they don't really clarify that. They also go through
a whole thing and like trying to show us that
he's kind of a bad father, but with no real
with no real payoff, right, Like you know, I didn't
realize that, but yes, the movie place around Christmas. It's
like literally Christmas Eve, and he's like buying terrible stuffed
(37:50):
animals from like a bodega or something, right, He's and
like trying to wrap them in newspaper to get something
for his daughter for Christmas. And then they go through
the whole movie and like one of the other cops
that he's been working with is like, hey, I'll deliver
the present to your daughter, and he's like, yeah, don't
do it. I don't want to ruin on Christmas. You
went through this whole thing, and should you get the
(38:11):
gift that you spent you know, thirty bucks on, Like
you bought like five different stuffed animals for thirty bucks
and she's not even gonna get him, like what was
the point of all that?
Speaker 4 (38:19):
But so many days went buying a movie and like
he never even attempted now to like where did Christmas go?
Speaker 3 (38:27):
But he didn't even try it a good point, Like
he wanted out right, like he didn't want to help
the mayor anymore. So so that problem was handled. He
he had it where he could have just walked away,
and he was like, no, I need to I need
to get caught now too, Like, dude, you should have
just turned yourself in at the beginning of the movie. Then,
(38:47):
who's thinking that?
Speaker 1 (38:50):
I did think, because like he says at one point
to Forrest Whitaker, who's running for mayor and is obviously
a big shot and seems sort of crooked. Uh in
whatever big city, whatever named big city that they are in,
got them It's not New York.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
I was like, this is in New York.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
It seems New york Ish, But like if you look
all the cop cars just say police, like it didn't
say a city name or anything like that. It definitely
has a New York vibe to it. But he says, like,
you know, when this is all over, I want you
to put your son on a plane. And I'd never
want to see your face again. And I'm like, he's
ready for mayor, Like how how are you not going
(39:25):
to see it? Because even if he doesn't win, like
he's he seems like a big enough person personality in
this town that like he's still going to be a.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Round billboard says I built this city and now up.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
In the end, that part sort of works itself out.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
So yeah, change of heart from the mayor. He went
from one second like I will kill my uh my
son's girlfriend to like I will die for them in
the matter of like five minutes, Andyler.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
I guess in seconds for sure. The other part of
this is at least half of this movie was filmed
during an earthquake. There's a lot of shaky camera. A
lot of shaky camera, like it's just all over the place.
It's doing the movement and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Like right, I'm just.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Like it's okay, I keep it still and like let
us enjoy the shootout and see what's happening. A lot
of shaky camera, a lot of a lot of blood,
Like I want to know what the blood budget was
on this show or in this movie, because there's a
lot of like those exploding blood squibs and people just
like literally getting hit by bullets and bursting into combat.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Movie was the bad guys make the shooters in Raid
look like marksmen, Like yes, were they were four feet
away from them at one point and just like spray.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
In the floor like stormtroopers from Star Wars. Man just
couldn't hit anything.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
The thing is that we got a lot of the
wacky waving, inflatable flailing arm tube man guys when getting shot,
like a lot of guys getting shot and just.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Doing the one guy in the in the scene when
the basement gets taken or whatever, he's just like he
stands up and I'm like, all right, what are you
gonna do? And then he just a million Like I'm like,
it felt like Denzel at the end of Training Day.
I said, also, this this movie, they definitely watched Four
(41:30):
Brothers before making it. Like numerous scenes I was like, oh,
this looks like it was taken straight from Four Brothers,
Like like the part where they're all in the house
hiding behind the bricks and it's and I was like, well,
that wouldn't hold you. So, like there's a scene where
they all just like kind of meet up at the
end and like everyone's just having like a dramatic walk
in and I was like, yeah, that seems pretty familiar, nostalgic.
(41:54):
I'll give you that. I enjoyed it, like it's one
of those movies that you enjoy for what.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
It is, you know, yes, because at some point I
just like I'm not because at some point I was
just like, wait, who exactly is chasing them?
Speaker 2 (42:06):
And why again? Like I'm like, you know what, don't
don't think about it.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
You know, there's all too many gunfights when you're hearing
NonStop shooting, and I'm like, yeah, I could look at
my phone anyway, like.
Speaker 4 (42:18):
So many people got ripped, Like, oh my god.
Speaker 5 (42:21):
I was so excited there's jose bred in a movie
because she watched Ray with me and like she was
just waiting for the hallway scene, like the fact that
she knew, like, oh, there's gonna be always seen, there's
gonna be a big fight, and that's exactly what happened
in that nightclub.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
Like it was incredible to watch again though, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
I owe I didn't know his name until you said it,
Marcus Timothy O. Yeah, Ola fant I owe him an
apology because the whole movie I was like, damn, Danny
Cordrey has a career path changed, like because that's all
I know him as is the salesman from the office.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Ah, that's funny. Yeah, no, he's I mean he's done
a lot of different things. He's kind of you know,
been around, had a pretty lengthy career. But yeah he
got to, uh, you know, play a dirty cop in
this one for.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
Sure, and like the typical dirty cop where he's like
I'm gonna go but like, you know, like I'm gonna
show you.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
How dirty of a copy I am over the line repeatedly,
habitual line stepper. Absolutely, Hey Nelson and Nelson must be
new to the cheat sheet. We appreciate you jumping in,
he says, bring it back to ball talk.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Now. This is like, this is the back half of
the show where we just we talk about.
Speaker 4 (43:32):
Oh yeah, this is the film Festival.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
The film Festival.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
We talk fantasy at the beginning, and then we switch over,
but we do for shate hanging out, like come back,
come back with us. Just just understand, you do, just
understand the back half of the show is going to be.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
It's we announced. It's not like we show up and
we're like, hey, this week's movie was this, Like, you
guys should watch with us and then you can be
given your thoughts in the comments.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
You can all you can all participate in that sort
of thing.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
We thought we thought Michael Lopez was breaking some news
in the comments about Uh, I ain't get that notification right, Yeah, no, Uh,
this has not happened. I think this is a Raider
fan hoping that it happens. But as for now, Trey
Hendrickson still a Bengal take him, although he says he's
not going to play on his current deal, so maybe
(44:28):
he holds out.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
We'll see. We'll see if John spy Tech bring him
to Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
You know, sometimes it's not about the money, it's about
the principle of it, and it is sort of feeling
like so the thing I will say and like this
is what I always remember in these situations. On one
of his contracts, Ricky Henderson said to the A's or
whoever it was was, I want to be paid one
dollar more than the highest paid left fielder.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
Right. It wasn't about the money. It was about, you know, basically.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Saying I'm better than all the the left fielders and
I want you to prove it by getting like, you know,
it's not.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
Like, oh I need a hundred million.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
It's like, I just want one dollar more than this
guy because I feel like I'm better than this guy.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
And it's it's kind of an ego thing.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
So I think it was a Rod had it in
his contract that if anyone ever got more money than him,
the Yankees had to up it so that he would
remain the highest paid player. I think he had that.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
In his It is it's an ego thing.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
Client like, what that's crazy. It's like, mister Deeds, if
you play bad, can I pay you less? True?
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Just you know, here a lot of people dropping mister
Deed's reference.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
I love mister Deeds, man. I think it's one of
the more underrated Adam Sandler movies.
Speaker 4 (45:43):
I haven't watched it one multiple times, that's the one
I haven't.
Speaker 3 (45:46):
Just I can quote most of that movie.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
I know it's one on Havoc. You're you're would you
watch Havoc again? I'm quant I'm sure you would. You
probably just have it like you watched it twice already.
Speaker 3 (45:59):
Three Wait wait, so you watched it twice on your own?
Speaker 4 (46:05):
Yes, my own. I watched it with Sabrina, and then
I watched it again on my own with Sabrina coming
in to recap.
Speaker 3 (46:12):
Oh okay, okay, I respect that.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
All right.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
Yeah, it's one of those movies like if it was
on and I was like flipping through the channels, I
would put it.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
On because it's Netflix. That's never gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (46:24):
Yeah, Like I see myself being like, let me open
up Netflix and throw Havoc on again.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
So my goal for myself in this film festival, if
we're gonna do Netflix action movies, is to find a
Netflix movie that I would want to watch a second time,
because I don't think I've ever seen one that I
was just like, yeah, I watched that.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
Again, because aren't they kind of made just.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
Want They're very They're very disposable. They are very, very disposable. Uh.
But that leads us to what I think should be
our next movie. And I believe Gavin had recommended this
last week or two weeks ago. Extraction, Yeah, which not
only has one sequel, but apparently it's getting a second
sequel very very soon.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
There's gonna be an Extraction threw.
Speaker 4 (47:07):
Well.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
I think it's it has a twenty twenty five release date,
so I don't think it's come out yet, but Extraction
one and Extraction two are already out, so I guess
we should just see where the whole thing begins with
Chris Hymsworth. So that'll be our our film festival.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
You know what I love about Netflix movies, What's that
they're all still two hours?
Speaker 1 (47:31):
They are, you know, like they get you in and
out pretty quick, and I think I sort of have to, like,
you have to get to the point if you're a
Netflix movie because at least at a movie theater, you're there, right,
You made the effort to get up and go out
and sit in the theater and watch this movie.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
So you're gonna stick it out for all I got.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
You know, people I know leave on bad movies, but
you stick it out for a while, like a Netflix movie.
If it's bad or slow, like you can usually just
hit the back button, they can go do something else.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
So like it's got to hook you, gotta hook you
real quick.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
Oh before we go, I had a thought, uh the
other day on on the Tuesday Show, we kind of
got into it at the end about fandom and sticking
with your teams and that sort of thing, and.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
I went on a little bit of a rant.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
So I thought about this for you, laquant and this
is not in any way meant to be like an
insult or a shot at you, But I feel like
because you were talking about, like, hey.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
Why wouldn't you just stick with your team?
Speaker 1 (48:28):
Like I've been a Rams fan, And what I realized
is that for you, as a Rams fan who grew
up in New Jersey, like the Rams is a tangible thing,
weren't ever real, if that makes sense, right, Like you
weren't going to Rams games, like because I was talking
about how like the Rams left LA and people stopped
following them, or the Rams left Saint Louis and people
(48:49):
there got upset and didn't care anymore. Because like for you,
as a Rams fan in New Jersey, you weren't in
a situation where you were going to Rams games consistently, right,
Like you weren't seeing the Rams. I guess if they
came to New York. If they came in New York,
I guess you could see them. But for you, for
you living in New Jersey, it didn't matter if they
were in Saint Louis, La, Mexico City, whatever, Narnia, Wakanda,
(49:12):
it didn't matter, like you were just following them from wherever,
and so I would love to see and like this
is all anecdotal, would love to see, just kind of
like the feelings of people who don't live who follow
teams that they don't live near, and their feelings on
a team's move, because I feel like if you don't
live near the team, you know, if you're a Raider
fan in Orlando or something like them moving from Oakland
(49:35):
to Las Vegas probably doesn't hit you the same way
because they're they're not real, sort of like real.
Speaker 3 (49:41):
When there was a time when the Bills were being
talked about leaving Buffalo, and I mean, I know I'm
from New York, but I'm from the city like eight
hours away from Buffalo. I wasn't growing up going to
games and stuff. I was still upset. I was like,
I don't know if I would root for them the same,
but it would be a lot differ if like the
Mets or Knicks were taken from me because I was going,
(50:03):
especially the Mets, Like I grew up in Shae Stadium.
I was there all the time and stuff, So like, yeah,
I get your point, Like if the Bills left, I
probably I would have been upset for like a year maybe,
and then I probably would have been like, all right,
well they're just as far from me now as they
always have been.
Speaker 1 (50:18):
Yeah, I mean I felt that way about the a
Like I had I still lived in the Bay.
Speaker 2 (50:23):
Area, I would be way more upset about the A's.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
I'm pretty upset about the A's and you know, leap,
John Fisher and all that kind of stuff, But you know,
having lived in LA for so long, it didn't hit
White as hard. I still hate watching them play in
a minor league ballpark and that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (50:37):
If you like now LQ. If the Rams were taken
from you now now yeah, the games and stuff.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
Yeah, it would definitely be a lot more emotional, I
think for you. If they picked up and moved like
back to Saint Louis or something that.
Speaker 4 (50:49):
Kind of pissed me off. Actually, yea, there I go.
People were getting on to getting somewhere. I think I
would catch me off.
Speaker 3 (50:56):
Yeah, how mad would you be if they became the
new Jersey Ram?
Speaker 2 (51:02):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (51:03):
I would be very private.
Speaker 4 (51:04):
I'd be like, you know what, you guys are trolling
me because I actually was a little bit like, ah, man,
I can't take a short flight to Saint Louis and
Edward Jones Dome, Like I've watched games there. I wanted
to see what that experience would be there. And then
they went to LA that.
Speaker 5 (51:18):
I thought about. I was like, well, they're going back home.
I actually had this whole thing growing up wanting to
live in LA and then being here is still mind blowing, because.
Speaker 4 (51:26):
Like it's one of those things. If I'm in LA now,
I'm expecting them to stay forever in LA, which kind
of looks like that's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
Sure, that's what they said the last time too.
Speaker 4 (51:37):
Listen, there's no reason for them to leave. Now, where
are they going to go? Nowhere?
Speaker 1 (51:41):
Saint Louis, Baby Louis right, the Raiders. The Raiders are
going from Oakland to LA back to Oakland to Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (51:49):
Like they could be the first international team that's coming. Yeah,
well the Jaguars.
Speaker 4 (51:54):
I got them pegged to be the first international team
to be in England because that's basically their home base now.
Speaker 1 (51:59):
Probably it's funny talk about the Rams. I once had
a chance to interview John Ham aka Don Draper and
he is from Saint Louis. I remember asking him like,
so are you a Rams fan? And he's like, well,
not really. He's like, growing up in Saint Louis, He's like,
we have the Cardinals, but they left to go to
Arizona when I was pretty young, so I was never
(52:19):
a Cardinals fan. And he's like, so we didn't have
a football team. He's like, and then when I moved
to La it is about the time the Rams picked
up and moved back to Saint Louis, so we were
started crossing paths.
Speaker 2 (52:30):
So he's like, yeah, no, he's like, I'm not really
a Rams fan. Like we were never in the same
space at the same time. It just never happened.
Speaker 3 (52:37):
And they were like, wherever city John Ham lives, we're
not gonna be. We're not going there. Of John Ham though,
on if you guys have Apple, uh, my friends and Neighbors.
Speaker 2 (52:49):
I've watched. I watch the first couple of episodes.
Speaker 1 (52:51):
Yeah, it's a it's a lot of fun, you know,
your friends of neighbors on Apple TV's John Ham sort
of like if Don Draper hit Hard Times.
Speaker 3 (53:02):
I really enjoyed it so far.
Speaker 1 (53:03):
So so it's a lot of fun, definitely worth checking. Ready,
then all right, that's enough. That's enough nonsense for this week.
I'll be back with you on Tuesday talking about I
don't know, some other nonsense. We'll see what happens over
the weekend and we'll kind of build.
Speaker 2 (53:16):
A show draft. We're doing more Renny drafts? Are we
doing more rookie draft? No?
Speaker 3 (53:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (53:20):
I'm still in few.
Speaker 5 (53:21):
I'm hoping to wrap up this one because we've been
drafting since the NFL Draft has ended.
Speaker 2 (53:26):
In people world, n yeah.
Speaker 3 (53:27):
I should be legitimately two and a half weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (53:30):
I should I should actually look and see if I'm
on the clock in one of these.
Speaker 4 (53:34):
Third round and we should have got the fourth to go.
I'm like, please, just I don't.
Speaker 3 (53:37):
Know about you, guys, man, the draft feels like a
solid year ago. Like that feels so long ago already.
Speaker 2 (53:42):

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
