This week on the F3 Podcast Comox Valley, hosts Erin and Jonathan Fraser unpack a chaotic Week 12, where low-scoring defensive battles wrecked fantasy lineups and overconfidence came back to bite. With American Thanksgiving delivering a full slate of football from Thursday to Monday, the duo looks at playoff implications, surprise struggles, and the unpredictable AFC race.

The Team of the Week spotlight lands on the New York Jets, a franchise cursed by draft misfires, coaching turnover, and more bad luck than any team deserves. Jonathan and Erin break down the long-running dysfunction — and why fans still somehow hang on.

Jonathan closes the episode with a tour of classic New York tailgate eats, from thin-fold pizza and pastrami on rye to halal chicken and rice and the iconic dirty-water dog simmering in onion-spiced broth. A perfect blend of football chaos, fantasy frustration, and flavour-packed comfort food.

This Episode Features: 

(02:05) – Week 12 Recap & Fantasy Struggles, Erin admits to getting “too cocky” after an 87% win projection, only to watch her fantasy week collapse. A look at low offensive output across the league and defensive-heavy matchups.

(06:40) – Thanksgiving Football Preview, Erin dives into why Thanksgiving week is her favourite in football: Thursday triple-headers, a rare Friday game, and a packed weekend slate.

(10:19) – AFC Playoff Picture, a breakdown of tight races, Kansas City’s surprising struggles, aging stars, and why no clear Super Bowl favourite has emerged.

(14:30) – Team of the Week: New York Jets, a deep dive into the Jets’ decades-long woes — coaching turnover, draft disappointments, the Aaron Rodgers Achilles saga, and why nothing seems to click.

(23:00) – Taste of New York: Tailgate Edition. Jonathan highlights NYC food icons: foldable street pizza, pretzels, pastrami on rye, halal chicken and rice, and the legendary dirty-water dog with onion sauce.

“Don’t get cocky — that’s the lesson from fantasy this week.” – Erin Frazier

“When your team’s losing, at least New York has great food.” – Jonathan Frazier
