(00:17):
Brocky by Slim Jim Bitch halfway in, but I to considered just a tip.
Hi, hello, everybody. Wecompleted week nine. Can't believe we

(00:38):
already halfway through the season. Thatis so crazy. Merry Christmas, I
think. Yeah. I mean Iwas just running to the bust up today,
like, okay, that wraps upOctober. And the funny thing about
Halloween is I see more people dressedup the days leading up to Halloween than
I did today. I didn't seetoo many people. Oh it was also

(01:00):
like thirty seven degrees, so that'skind of a thing too. But yeah,
I can't believe tomorrow is November.I'm like, dang, we were
just kiddy school girls like two weeksago. Now we're at November, halfway
through the season. Yeah, andI think you've had a bit of a
tail of two seasons yourself. Yeah. To be honest, I've been up

(01:23):
and down here. It has notbeen fun. It has been a nervous
thing. I think I started offwhat was like either zero and three or
one and two. One. Ithink you were one and three because I
looked at the streak it said youwant four straight. So if you're four,
you're five and three. Yeah youwere one and three. Yeah,

(01:45):
I mean and and look, Ican't lie to you and say that my
I'll call it lock or whatever.Definitely changed when I started making trades.
Yeah, you definitely can't. Youdefinitely can't chalk that up to you know,
great draft. You chalk it upto great moves in season, but

(02:05):
draft. Fuck, No, Iremember you who was your quarter Oh yeah,
you still got Gino and Golf.There was just a traffic quarterbacks right
and Car? Yeah, Car,you held on to them. Three.
I don't know where you would beat well, you know what I think,

(02:28):
I feel. I think I'd befine with GoF. But yeah,
Gino is a little you may bee. I do want to say, two
or three weeks ago and I waslike, don't you ever sit Golf again?
Dude? That solidified himself as amust start every week. Yeah,
I mean fucking and that's why.And that's that's the week I sat him.

(02:53):
I was like, yeap, nope, go Now, unfortunately GoF is
on by this week and I haveto start to you know, against Baltimore.
So there you go. But youknow, so before we kind of
get into this, let's let's kindof tap into Uh, and I guess

(03:15):
the week that was. So Steelersare still are still fucking terrible. Uh,
that's not a surprise. I'm justwatching it. I'm tired of the
torture. I'm just stop doing it. I can't. I mean, it's
like, man, you're telling somebodythat's been watching the Steelers every fucking weekend

(03:38):
for the past fucking thirty years.I'm forty five, I mean even fifteen.
I probably started watching them heavy whenI was fourteen, thirteen, fourteen,
So you're trying to tell somebody tojust stop watching them after thirty years.
Yeah, go ahead, buddy,that's easier to say, yeah,
stop eating recie cups. Go ahead, just stop such a just stop because

(04:02):
you know it's bad for you.It's not that easy, man. No,
I get it. Man, II can't watch it. It's I
I don't. So we'll go backto our valuing time over money thing.
I value my time and my attentionso much more. I don't want to

(04:25):
waste I'd rather watch Red Zone thanwatch this pinniful fucking team do what was
it like, four straight three andouts the fuck out of here. I'm
over you, get out of here. I think the simple fact that you
have red zone as an option isthe reason why you do because oh,
yeah, pirates are shitty, butyou don't have a baseball red zone to

(04:46):
turn two. So you continue watchingthat game because it's definitely there is nothing
to fucking do right around the timethat they start playing, and there's hope
in this city. I mean,I mean, yeah, they're not doing
good either. If the Penns hada red zone and you were really in
the hockey, maybe you would be. But football is the only sport that

(05:08):
I can go into other teams andnot really care about the home team the
other team. Other sports, Oh, I was scoor watch, but I'm
not into it, not like yeah, I mean it's it's one of those
things where there's I guess hockey couldbe considered constant kind of action, but

(05:30):
baseball it's more of a methodical kindof you know. But I just don't
see myself unless it's maybe the StanleyCup, and even I can only watch
so much. I just can't seemwrap myself in and and really get into
another team that ain't the home team. It's yeah, I mean I with
the Steelers, I don't really care. I mean, like they ain't in

(05:53):
it, so I mean, butI still got to watch them when they
play. Though I can't just ignorethem when they play. I can,
and it feels good. It feelsgood because I just until you put something
on that, until you put ateam out there that's worth me spending my
time watching, I'm like, it'sit's just it's I'm sick of watching it.

(06:17):
I was just in Andrews Chat today, like I'm sick of this shit.
Man. It's like all you dois sit there and you hope and
pray for the defense to somehow score. Like how the fuck are you wishing
that the defense who's supposed to stopthe other team scoring. Your only hope
of you scoring is the defense that'ssupposed to be stopping the other team.

(06:40):
Chefter tweeted today saying, you knowhelp is on the way. Cam Hayward
is coming back, and I responded, I was like, unless he can
throw the fucking ball, who cares? Like cool, it's still garbage,
like you have. Yeah, anyway, no more time on them because Wolf
san Fran is shitting the bed.I don't know what's happening there. I

(07:02):
am very I know what's happening,and it revolves around one of my players,
de Bow, saying, they don'trealize and everybody thought they were so
fucking cute when you ain't got thatdog out there on that field. That's
like the ego saying, oh,we're great without a J. Brown.
We could keep going. Yeah,you might be. You might look cute

(07:25):
here and there, but when thefucking balls hit the fucking bone, you
need that fucking dog. Wait,wait, wait, the balls hit the
bone. Yeah, is that athing? Balls the bone? Motherfucking huh.
And you fucking your ball is slappingout her bone. Balls bone.

(07:49):
That's new like that all right,I'm not gonna use it, but I
like it. That's like that kidthat learns that new word and try to
using the sentence and fox it up. The first time I heard it was
old school on the Matrix, thefirst matrix. That Oracle lady. She

(08:09):
was like, but you know it, balls the bone. I was like,
damn it is this same balls thebone? Like what else? You've
probably never even seen it? Nope, you never watched the matrix. Oh
my god, no no, I'veI've mm hmm, you know my you
know my movie situation. So itwas rejects. Yeah, well, I

(08:39):
have a niche of movies I enjoy. There's that. What else happened that
was interesting this week? Anything?Oh my experience? Yeah? Oh my
gosh, I think I lot liketwenty pounds yesterday. Well here, let's

(09:01):
before we get into the like theactual like bull blown game. Part of
it sucks for her cousins. It'ssad. It's gonna affect a lot of
people. I'm glad they they atleast was a little proactive and went out
and got uh Josh Dobbs. Imean, yeah, saying that he's the

(09:22):
answer because he's pretty damn shitty inArizona. But I think he got more
weapons around him in Minnesota. Ithink it's I don't think it's going to
be a lot, huh. Imean, like, is the is the
Is the Cardinals skill players that muchworse than the Minnesota skilled players? I

(09:43):
mean they got Hollywood and Caid youknow who? Yeah, no, you're
thinking that McBride, right, McBride, Yeah, say that he's so important
obviously, Well, when Connor comesback, they might be I don't know,

(10:09):
cool. Yeah, I think Minnesotahas more. I feel like one
of the greatest fantasy courts. Hemay not be great in real life fantasy
that he's white. Jameis Winston.He is a legend in fantasy, and

(10:31):
which is actually funny because they weretalking about trading for Jamis before they did
the dobs. So uh oh,I would have loved seeing James in that
purple, just chucking in like aclown like that. Very put into a
room and shoot everybody, and they'llbe like, oh, was I supposed
to ask him some questions? Listen? I may have if they would have

(10:56):
signed them, I may have burntmy waiver on Jamis. They're good,
Jamis starting Jamis and Jalen hurts.H dude shoots first and ask questions later.
Yeah, what else happened here?Uh? All that ship we talked

(11:16):
about trades. The only trades thatwent down was defensive trades. I'm like,
if a fuck everyone fucking defense defensedefense defense O. Huh. Oakland's
terrible. Still, yeah, theymay have been better off without Jimmy.

(11:37):
I feel bad for Delante, butI really don't feel that back for because
you're a millionaire, so in yourhouse it's just a commercial. But yeah,
man, so guess who's gonna beon the wire and everybody's wired this
week. Might give a funk aboutthat dude. Now you're gonna sit in

(11:58):
the it. He won't sit inNew York and rot. Yeah, and
that's why that's why I grabbed himand sat him. I'm rid of him
dropping. Yeah. Uh, LeonardFronett got another job because cool so Buffalo,

(12:18):
Like I just said in the lastone, Buffalo refuses to let James
cook coke or James Cook work.They the TV is kind of flying down.
They're like, let's go get anotherdude that's just like them. Yeah.
I just I dropped him today.I dropped him to I can't because

(12:39):
I'm like, do you You've shownme enough? I'm all set. They
just picked up his twin brother.That's what I'm saying. He probably had
seven or eight carries that he tookaway from Coke. Now you gotta div
those seven or eight carries into fourand four, three and a half.

(13:00):
I mean, maybe I wouldn't besurprised if like Latavious is a healthy scratch
them two is gonna flip flop takingturns doing that. Yeah mm hmm.
And he's super fun to watch.Mm. All right, so let's talk
about your sweat and your story inyour leagues, well went to and two.

(13:26):
Basically two leagues I lost in playedscored the most points in the league,
but played the dude that scored morethan that. Two leagues. Like
they put up Buck nineties, Iput up Buck seventy. Buck eighties would
have beat anybody in the league.But nope. The one league I had

(13:50):
Jalen and and uh A J Browngoing, they lit it up. This
dude had just one week wonders likeJahann Dots and like him dropping like twenty
eight and then the other dudes thathe had, he he had ceedee Lamb
dropped like forty six points. I'mlike this dude, basically I lost to

(14:11):
a dude that was oh and seven. And I guess the sun shines on
the crack of a dog's ass atleast once. So I'm sitting her four
and three. This dude's owen sevenand everybody on his team hit everybody down
to the motherfucking kicker. Of coursekilled it. I'm like, oh,

(14:35):
it would happen on me. Well, you saw the dude in our league,
right the Clipbella don't even pay attention. He scored the most of the
week. And I'm like Damn,I gotta play him. I'm thinking this
is an easy way up. Thismotherfucker doesn't even play a quarterback and scored
more than everybody. Yeah, nowI'm scared as fuck this week, Like,

(14:58):
uh to, he don't have threespots and watch me still lose to
him. He ain't starting a quarterback, he ain't starting McCaffrey where he can't,
and he down started a tight end. But meanwhile, my whole squad,
all everybody's on the by, allthe Denver players, all the San
Fran players, and I'm starting abunch of fucking Jabbroni cans, and it's

(15:22):
like, I don't feel good atall. This student is probably gonna beat
me with three people not starting,including the quarterback. Insane. I mean,
I kind of dominated my my week, which was nice, but I
was kind of you know, watchingyours because I was like, well,

(15:43):
I need something to pay attention to. Yeah, you already, h So
the two leagues I won in thisis my scenario. I had already,
like before the Monday night game wentdown, I had already got blown out
bottom two to two teams because theyscored the games of their lives. But
the two leagues I had a shotin was our league, which I was

(16:06):
up by fifty eight, and hehad Saint Brown and the porta, Okay,
I know Saint Brown. You justgot to give him his. He's
like, you know, Jordan,like, you just gotta let him score
his. But the Porter, I'mlike, please don't let him go crazy.
You almost got to give Like thePorter's putting himself in that damn near

(16:29):
in that category, but you gottaalmost give him his too, So as
long as they don't total fucking sixtypoints. Meanwhile, the other league that
I'm about to win in that,I don't give a fuck about it.
I didn't care. I had SaintBrown. I was down by ten,
so all I needed was Saint Brownto do just enough and then get hurt

(16:52):
for some shit or or somehow hitthen hit the concussion and go in the
blue tent and fucking call it night. Saint Brown just kept producing. I'm
like, oh, like and thatleague. I also made a stupid mistake,
which is stupid, but it wasn't. I had d Hawk, but

(17:14):
I sat him on the bench.I'm like, you got Will Levis throwing
them the ball. I didn't thinkhe was gonna drop three motherfucking touchdowns.
So I got like forty five pointssitting on the bench, and I'm down
by ten going into the Monday nightgame. So then once Saint Brown was
doing his thing and I was upby ten, I'm like, okay,
that's enough. Then La Porter scoredthat touchdown, I'm like, oh my

(17:36):
god, that's enough. And ifthe Raiders would have kept scoring and made
that game competitive, it was over. But the Raiders they had that pick
six and they got competible, andthen after that they totally shook the bed
and they kept running it. AndI was like, I was in love
with Jamir Gibbs because it was likehe was taking the heat off of he

(17:59):
was force and Golf to not throwit. And I was like, yeah,
I was gonna say, if itwasn't going nuts, I feel like
you probably because I even though Ialready wind, I'm like, hey,
GoF, there's some more. There'smore those more because I have I'm like,
okay, I mean I I willsay I did go against d Hop
too, and I'm like, okay, but I'm saying ten points. In

(18:26):
our league, it's like one catch. So basically I dodged two skills players.
For making that last fucking catch.They put up about what forty on
you collectively, oh shit on twofifty eight to two forty eight. Man,

(18:48):
if if if Vegas would have madethat slightly competitive towards the end,
because it was like a whole quarterleft, I'm like, oh my god,
is this quarter? Don't go assad as humanly possible. I was
counting down. I'm in my livingroom doing referee signs like you know,
like the riind the cock. I'mwalking past up and up and down my
TV like whind the clock commember here, going crazy, Why that goddamn clock.

(19:17):
I'm telling you. By the timethat game, I had a fucking
white hat on with some fucking stripeson, with white pants. I was
a referee because I was officiating thatgame, like get it over it,
yeah yeah, but end up winningbecause I got my ten points over here

(19:40):
from Brown and then they didn't scorea ten points that It was like a
it was a weird situation, likea crazy coincidence. I need ten points
over here, don't need them toscore ten points over here. And I
was sweating. I was fucking sweatinghard. I'm glad you pulled it on

(20:00):
top of that. It was like, Okay, remember I told you on
this broadcast before my team is prettymuch two good ass actors and they don't
have any supporting cast. I finallygot you and remember you was like you
was making fun like he you gonnasend them down? Mo fucker drop fifty
eight. Yeah. I was like, man, I definitely played them shit.

(20:23):
I wouldn't have wanted if I didn'tplay shit. He but I'm like,
damn, I finally gets a contributionfrom another actor, and then my
main actor shipped to bed like Mahomeshad like twenty points, Like what,
man, can you picnicking get morethan two points? Seah. I expected.
I expected that to be an actualstraight up weather game, but you

(20:45):
know it was not. Motherfucker wassick of shit. I didn't even see.
I mean, I understand, likewhen they score touchdowns and they hit
the ball against the padding, you'veseen a little snow fall up, but
it was gonna be actually snowing onthe field and it was not. Yeah,
it was. I mean, Iguess that was the surprise of the
week, actually Denver beating k C. Yeah. Yeah, So do you

(21:10):
know that that was the first lossPatty has ever taken on the road against
the West, against anybody in theWest on the road. So he lost
these people at home and not inon the road. That's crazy. Yeah,
well, you know, they justkept saying that he beat Timver sixteen
times in the row and he brokea streak. I was like, damn,

(21:32):
yeah, they probably feel like that'stheir little mini super Bowl team that
I thought was going to be extremelyactive in this trading process. Nobody fucking
did shit. But you know thatfootball trades ain't. They don't happen.
They just don't. We did,That's what I said. The first of
all, are tricky, and they'resneaky, like I said, like,
they don't they try to hold thatinformation close to the chest. And then

(21:56):
the biggest offensive weapon that moved wasDonovan people Jones. Yeah, I don't
know what what does Detroit need withhim? I mean, out there,
Raymond kick returner, kick returner,Raymond's the kick returner. Double it up.

(22:18):
It's fine, fuck it. Idon't even know what they need them
for. Who cares? I mean, that's that's the thing. It's just
like, Okay, there's probably amethod to madness. I don't know,
but we both came out with anotherwin. So this is kind of the
mid season kind of special whatever youwant to call it. But I just

(22:41):
want to kind of cover a fewthings that you know, obviously a lot
of fantasy managers, the steaks,they do a lot of silly things,
as I've affectionately named them, Iwant to do. I want to point
out a few quick little things beforewe kind of delve into, you know,
other parts of this. So Iremember when we first did this,

(23:04):
we did the whole here's the topten things that are important in the fantasy
here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So one of the things I mentioned
was, do not fall in lovewith your draft. Do not, by
any stretch of the imagination, feelobligated to keep anyone that you drafted via

(23:27):
either dropping or trade. No'll obviouslydon't sit here and drop your number one
pick because you're a fucking idiot.Don't do that. That's that's how stupid.
That's that's what stupid people do.But what we're human beings too.
I mean, we might lay out, you know, some type of you
know, advice, but we mighthave hard time following that advice ourselves.
So yeah, we make those samemistakes that we know we sposed to stay

(23:51):
away from too, so exactly exactly, and that's that That's why it's always
a good thing to kind of dothis type of an episode to mid season
because you're like, oh, yeah, wait, hold on, I did
that fucking thing, they'll do that. So what me and Jermaine did real
quick was we looked at a roster'sweek one, and we looked at our
roster's week nine. And as youguys know, or if you don't know,

(24:15):
whatever, we have twenty people onthe roster, which is still just
a very silly thing fourteen people start. So I looked at it and going
from week one to week nine,I have eight of the people that I
drafted still on the roster, overwhelmingmajority. So you got pretty much forty

(24:38):
yeah left the shipped down. Yeah, And a lot of that was true.
Actually, well I would say probablyprobably half of them that I got
rid of were via trades. Soh so what were you at did you

(25:03):
do? Account? Yeah? Outof twenty players, I still have thirteen,
so I only either dropped my mistakeor just got rid of seven players.
Do you think that's good or bad? Because we're both on like the
different side of that. You youbasically maintained forty percent of your roster,

(25:26):
well more than forty, and I'veno, I've maintained forty percent and you've
maintained about sixty five seventy, Soabout seventy percent my roster. But so
what do you think? What youlike? Seventy seventy percent of my roster
is still on my roster. Itis because injuries. I mean, I
got people that are drafted that eitherthey're sitting on ir or they've been sitting

(25:52):
just on the bench for weeks,and I'm not ready to part ways with
them because when they were playing,they were fine. Ain't playing, So
you're okay with it, I'm not. I'm not gonna say I'm okay with
it. I'm not okay with fuckingsweats that I gotta go through. But
well, yeah, I'm not gonnajust release the people because you know,

(26:15):
I got some some serious released decisionsthat I've made as well that are fucking
hearting me right now. So andI'm almost afraid to do it again.
So I may be holding on theplayers a little too long because of what
I've done in earlier in the seasonwhere I've let them go too so well,

(26:36):
that's a goddamn good segue there,kiddo. Let's let's talk about you
know, I don't know if youwant to do a top three because we
we collectively probably made what thirty moves, I would say, he's saying,
probably not collectively, no individual Imean we're at like sixty. That's fair.

(27:02):
Well, clearly you're the math guytoday dropping percentages and shit. So
so I don't know if you wantto do a top number of best and
worst drops or whatever. But youknow, just let's just kind of go
back and forth here, just tokind of crack our heads together here.

(27:22):
So I'm not going to include anytrades because those aren't really fair, you
know, one, because you don'tdo trades. Two, I mean obviously
you're shopping at that point, soit's not like a calculated move necessarily,
it's not really easy. So Iwould say my best move, and it's
funny because I tried to dog itde Andre Swift best pickup, you shaid,

(27:49):
I'm not burning away rule it.That's your best way to pick up.
You're not including trades. Yeah,you're about to say, by far,
your best trade to me is JalenHurts. But go ahead, well,
that was brought to me. Thatwas that was brought to the I
didn't even ask for that. Thatwas just like, oh hello, I
would say, probably my best drop, but it was it was in the

(28:11):
trade. I know, I said, I'm not going to talk about that,
but if you are, I considertrading away a drop a love.
It absolutely. I cast in onthe name before he started going downhill,
take him off my hands, Payapay because that was actually a part you

(28:33):
could if you could take you nowand go back and talk to you at
at the beginning of season, Imean at the beginning of week one and
try to convince yourself you need todrop o love. Yeah, would probably
be fighting, yeah, but youknow what drove your future self will be

(28:56):
like trust me, dude, It'sgonna work out. Yeah yeah. I
mean, I mean I would say, if that Jalen Hurts thing never came
to fruition, I don't know whatone my team would look like. Two.
I don't know what I'd be doingwith the Love. I mean,
I would start them, but itwould just be forced to start them.

(29:18):
I mean I would feel like I'mstarting Gabe Davis two point zero, Like
it's just what it feels like,so it's it's it's an ugly thing.
And you was having a stack.He was like, oh, I got
the care A love a stack.Sure did one of the moves. It
doesn't seem like a big, bigdrop, but it I don't love it,

(29:41):
uh me dropping Josh downs Hm,that's a that's an oopsy Yeah,
just go through forget as far astrade. Just run through your team where
you was, the moves you made, and how would you feel. Go
ahead and I'll tell you fair enough. Okay, all right? So the

(30:03):
people that I that I had initiallythat I still have are golf Geno Smith,
A J. Brown. Uh gavethe Babe Eckler moster, Mark Andrews.
That's it. So I dropped alove for a trade. I also

(30:26):
shipped out Drake London in a trade. Loved it. I shipped out Jordanadison
to get Derrick Henry to then tradeDerrick Henry for uh fucking somebody uh Brian
Robinson another part of the Jalen Hurtstrade. I feel like I made out
right there, charbon A. I'mstill sitting on him. Most are obviously

(30:51):
super good draft pick. Quentin Johnstonglad to ship him out because I would
have tried him out because you knowall their injuries, Mark Andrews, Juggernaut,
Ron Dell Moore, By Felicia LeonardFournette, Man, Derek Carr hey

(31:11):
bye, Vante Parker hey bye,and Alec Pierce. So I I got
rid of a lot of dead weight. Uh yeah, like the last pick
just because poops and giggles, justto see if they eventually sign them.
I don't think it was gonna taketill week nine, but uh, you
know, let someone else in thefirst three or four weeks. That's where

(31:34):
I was. That's and that's that'sanother little tip we tell people too,
like, look, your last fewpicks that you know aren't gonna do ship,
take a flyer on somebody like that, take a fire of somebody without
a contract, wait for an injuryeither that, yeah, or take a
flyer on the on the on aon a backup running back that's sitting behind
that injury prone back. Yeah.And that that's what I did. So

(32:00):
it's a little convoluted doing it inreal time and reading off like that.
But you know, you look atmy team now because that that was basically
the who I had then. Nowwe look at week nine, I'm out
here. Jalen Hurts, Gino Smith, starting quarterbacks, A J. Brown,

(32:20):
Jordan Addison. That's what I hadbefore I forgot about Adison. Uh
gave the babe, tanked Dell anothertrade in Jigbo, which I'm super afraid
to say out loud because I'm prettysure I'm gonna mess that up one day
and say a bad word. Alot of announcers had to fucking out of

(32:45):
that before getting boy. They're justsaid, yeah, that's safe, Just
go ahead and say that. Yes, running back Austin Eckler, Davante Smith
or Davante Smith. Davante this ischrist Davante, the Andre Swift. I'm

(33:07):
I keep thinking because I have somuch Philly on my team that I just
think of Smith Davante and I'm like, okay, So then moster, Mark
Andrews, Darryl Henderson, Waiver WireOops, love you. Then I you
can a trade and I mean justrandom Roy Streaman and Logan Thomas just for

(33:30):
Pillers. But based on my firstinitial draft and all the moves I've made,
my team is so much stronger.I I let's put it this way,
if I had to face me,I would be angry every fucking week.
I would not want to watch redZone because I don't really have that

(33:53):
much from bad teams. So it'skind of worked that way. All right,
your turn, goad, All right, Uh, twenty drafts. I'll
go through the draft later when aco off air still got thirteen people.

(34:15):
Some of the biggest impact on myteam. Drafted Nick Chubb. He is
on IR. Well, he hadHe's never forgot about that man. Yeah,
and that was like my third pickoutside of my quarterbacks. Lost him,
I have James Connor, lost him. He's on IR, but I'm

(34:38):
still holding on to him. Atleast he's not done for the season.
Deebo Samuel has been hurt a lotof the season, at least three or
four games or at least three gamesso and then he's on the boy this
week. So those are some ofthe you know, things I had to
navigate through and were trying to navigatethrough, so to speak. People I

(35:00):
did draft. I no longer haveOdell Beckham Junior, no longer have Jared
McKinnon, no longer have Elijah Mitchell, who I took over in my like
my last round because McCaffrey's an injuryprone back. So that was somebody I
took a chance on. I nolonger have Darnell Mooney happy about that,

(35:21):
no longer. The first play ofthe game last night, you were just
like, motherfucker, I god,be like if this dude starts being if
I swear to then he just wentback and to faded to black like he'd
been going the whole fucking season.So I was like, okay, all
right, pat Kyler Murray, he'snot relevant until maybe this week or next

(35:46):
week. So now I tried tohold on to him. But then James
Connor was like, hey man,I'm getting hurt too, move over,
and I was just like, well, I don't have the spot, so
the whole quarterback it. I'm onlygonna start in week ten. Mad as
hell. I dropped Taysom Hill,took him a while, you had,

(36:07):
you graced them who held him,But now he's all of a sudden,
now he's super productive. Could haveeasily plugged him in one of those spots,
but I was in patient. Don'tbelieve the hype. I don't believe
I let go too quick because hejust wasn't producing fast enough. Cordell Patterson,
I'm still pissed at that. ArthurSmith's fucking bastard. But how you

(36:28):
destroy his career? And my twoworst drops I want to say so far
is I graced Kareem Hunt and ITalk and Taysom Hill those are my two
worst drops. But who I havenow? Look, I'm not gonna lie
if you could, oh you left, he left? We have now My

(36:52):
two quarterbacks carrying all the weight isPatrick Mahomes and cool hold on, yeah,

(37:13):
I'm telling you what. Man,the sounds a bit Oh, I'm
sorry. We're back on, okay, all right, No, so we
had some technical issues because I don'tknow Jermaine has I have a wave that
I carry around. Jermaine got theten kN internet, So all right,

(37:36):
so I'm gonna go through his teambecause I'm a goddamn gentleman. So let's
see here. So what's this fellowgot now? So he's rolling out Patty
Mac obviously to uh, yeah,I mean that's that's that's literally the backbone
of this guy squad. You know, you know DK, I'm seven foot
thirteen metcalf. Great pick. Reallykind of wish he would I kind of

(38:01):
thought he produced he would produce somemore romr Dobbs. That's your dark throw.
Who knows? Uh Pow from Minnesota. I don't know, we're we
We talked about him last week.I'm big on him. I like him,
Shaheed. You can see how muchof a dark throw he is.
Michael Wilson, I think he's justkind of a filling from your bench.

(38:22):
To be honest. Jonta Foreman,that was a good pick up. At
least he's doing something de Marcado.Okay, Antonio Gibson, that's been your
flop, which you know that's well, you realize, wow, I got
to start these people because yep.T J. Hawkinsmock definitely solid. I

(38:52):
love to see him. He heis, you know, I think actually
it's it's apparently him and I thinkit's what him and kidd or like best
friends. So yeah, that's kindof cool. Wandell Robinson, I always
clown you for that, just becauseI'm like, what are you? What
are you doing? You know,Burke's from Tennessee. You have good luck

(39:15):
because like I said, I don'thave any room. And on top of
that, remember I told you theSteelers they love trying to shut they love
shutting down the number one. Butthey always let the number two loose,
and yeah, I think he will. I mean, it's either gonna be
him or a Keene. I actuallyneed to pick up a ke A myself

(39:36):
this week. But we'll see they'regonna they're gonna double and triple Hopkins and
they're that second and third receiver isgonna beat them. Yeah, Johnny Smith,
you're chasing them points. But Iget it. But on your bench,
here's here's where things kind of makemore sense of like people are like,
what the fuck is this dude?Like this is why he's struggling.

(39:58):
It's like, no, he's notstruggling. He has a bipocalypse because my
bi apocalypse is coming next week andI'm facing the number one team and I'm
like cool, can't wait, superfun? All right. So to to
that, well, I mean,I know you just picked him up this
week, so you know you knewhe should not. Javonte Williams finally got

(40:29):
finally, finally got in the endzone, so you know that. I
I always like Duvante, So youknow, a little I was say I
was jealous that you had him,but I'm not because he hasn't really done
much. But uh McLaughlin, youknow kind of the handcuff there fair enough

(40:49):
Jennings from San fran I put upan over for you last week, so
I don't know how you feel aboutthat. But well, no, no,
I mean when they come out ofthat buy depo's gonna be healthy.
So yeah, yeah, he's Yeah, he's a he's a casualty of war.
Jerry Judy. I dude, Ifeel like he's a drop candidate personally,
but uh, you know, letsomeone else play with that grenade.

(41:14):
But I think, I think,really what you were hoping for he was
gonna he was gonna get moved,but he didn't. So now I think
you you have to wrestle with thata little bit. And then he got
to star a debo over there wherethe where the hell is? Wait?
Where the hell is Connor? Oh? Now I are Why is it not

(41:37):
showing me your I R spot?No weird? Okay, that's I know.
Yeah, I don't know why it'snot showing me that. But yeah,
you got you got Connor on theI R. So you know,
all in all, I mean,you do have a very solid team.
I think just some I think theworry that you're gonna get continuously have it's

(42:00):
very boom or bust. Yeah,and if you worry, if you're if
your backbone does not produce, ohwe you you better hope to God.
I went in and drafted my backhere's my backbone. That was supposed to
be my backbone. Yeah, twoquarterbacks. My two running backs was supposed

(42:23):
to be Chubb and Connor. Mytwo receivers are supposed to be Metcalf and
d Ball And it's not panned out. And Hawkinson was my backbone tight end
and everybody else was Fillers hasn't workedout that way. But you know what,
this just this just shows because here'shere's the interesting interesting part about this

(42:45):
league. So if I go tothe league, so I'm I'm currently i
currently have the most points for onthe team. I'm in second place.
First place is six two, Secondthrough four is five and three. There's

(43:06):
one guy a fifth that's four andfour. Then from six to ten everyone's
three and five. So it's oneof these deals where I don't think I've
ever been a part of a leaguethat's been that tight. Usually you're gonna
have like you know, that oneone, one oh and oh four team

(43:28):
or that team that has one,but no, it's a lot of parodies.
It seems like, yeah, nobody'scompletely completely That's that's why I was
giving you. That's why I wasgiving you shit. I'm like, dude,
shut the funk up about you beingworried. I'm like, dude,
you're still going to thick of it. Like I've won. Like, let's
put this way. I I thinkI've won. Since I've been in second,

(43:52):
I've won three more games and Ihaven't moved, Like it's the weirdest
thing, Like I haven't I haven'tmoved. I've been in second for like
three weeks and I've won one oneone, and I haven't moved anywhere.
So it's one of these deals whereyou you went down to think eighth like
two weeks ago, and now you'reback up to what force? I think,

(44:15):
So yeah, I'm I'm pretty sureyou are forced. I think it's
it's Taylor me Bob, and Bobwas like a ninth that dude climbed the
stairs. Yeah, and I playhim. I play him this week,
and I'm like, I hope yougot all your points out of you last

(44:37):
week, you fucker, because hewent because he put up about three fifty.
I put up what three twenty orsomething like that, and I'm just
like, hey, well pump pumpyour jets, Bob. We're all we're
all good here. But I thinkI think the biggest thing that I want
people to really kind of take fromthis isn't, by no means be gurus.

(44:59):
But I would say we're savvy vet's. We've been playing this for a
long time. You've made a lotof good moves and made a lot of
bad moves. But I think whywe're successful, it's because we make more
good moves than bad moves. Youyou are the waiver Wire champion. I'm
the waiver Wire vulture. I wouldsay I am the trade champion because that's
where I make my That's where Imake my breath. Waiver Wire champion,

(45:21):
because don't I don't have any otherchoices, Like I said, no,
no, I'm saying. I'm sayingin general, every year you are the
way you. Yeah, I buildthrough I don't do trades, And what
do I do? I build myteam through trades? I mean, now,

(45:44):
you know, trades, I've neverseen you do as many as you've
done this year. But put inwhat I've never seen as many people listen
to you and accept them. Imean, I'm pretty sure you'd be out
there willing dealing all the time,but you have some yessers for definitely sure
that matty. Sure they're sitting therelike what the fuck did I do well?

(46:06):
And and that's that's that's look anyonethat anyone that says, if you're
trying to trade and you're not tryingto beat that head, that person's head
in, you're a fucking liar.You're not trading to help their team,
you're training to help your team.You're bouncing off of I even tried.

(46:27):
I actually set something to tailor.I was like, uh, I sent
him goth and charbonnet for for Walkerbecause he's struggling in the quarterback section.
I'm like, see if you're bitand he didn't. But trading is not
always just said to me where That'swhat you don't get is like, even

(46:50):
though you may have put him outthere and you hit for you, hurry
up and snag them back down.The Yahoo email shows you that you try
to get half out of me forsome ship something. I don't know what
she was trying to give me,but yeah, I don't I think trade.
I think it was a goof trade. I don't think it was actually
anything legitimate. No, I rememberyou sent me a goof trade and said

(47:12):
accept it. You was like youtry to give me like watching from the
chiefs for like he was like accepted. But that's what I seen. I'm
talking about. You must have beenplaying around on one and you it was
something that was I ain't gonna sayit was reasonable, but it was somewhat
reasonable, and I was just like, hell no, But it's said that
you had proposed it and then youhurry up and took it back back.

(47:35):
But you've done y'all hold things still, time stamps it. Let you know.
Yeah, but there's multiple ways tomake your team better, and even
I mean at this point in theseason, if you were like one and
seven, yeah, you're kind ofplaying for next year at this point.
In most leagues, I mean,you could like absolutely backdoor your way into

(48:01):
it, but probably not if you'rethat joint. The league has been like
I said, get a kind ofa somewhat solid backbone, but then you
know, picked the small pieces offon hot streaks, waiver wires who you
don't feel is gonna you know,light up or heat up. And I've
been very successful but this year thatnot only have I not been successful with

(48:25):
the waiver wires, my backbone hasbroken. So it's like, now I'm
just I. You've gotten ravaged bybig name injuries and they all kind of
happened like right after each other,so it wasn't like, you know,

(48:45):
you could sustain it. It waslike, okay, long term injury,
season injury, long term injury.And it's like it because it wasn't like,
oh I bought my shoulder, Igot it to be out, Like
no, it's like two IRS,so three technically three R three IRS.
Thats one is a season one one. You can't really that's very hard to
come back from. But that's whatyou have done, though, And I

(49:09):
think you need to give yourself alittle bit of credit because you have made
good moves. You haven't you haven'ttilted to the point where you're like,
man, I don't give a shitwhatever, Like you have still ever get
to this like those other leads.Yeah, I mean, like I said,
I say, I don't give ashit, but I'm still, like
I said, I'm still sitting inthe lineup. But I mean I think

(49:30):
I'm like number one waivering. Bothof those leads and I'm not excited to
do anything. So it's like Idon't care on that aspect, but in
this one, yeah, I meandown to the end, I'm gonna be
plugging and playing, you know,I mean I'm getting I just feel like
I'm getting lucky with the matchups.Some of the people that am playing,
they're playing even shittier than me.So and that sometimes all it is.

(49:54):
Like sometimes that's all it is.I mean, you look at you look
at my road to my road tothis. You know I have let me
see, Yeah, I have twentytwo hundred and thirty six points four and
twenty one thirty one against I don'tthink. Let me see, there is

(50:21):
only one other person that has morepoints against and it's by like seventeen.
So I mean my road to whereI'm at has been paved with fucking agony,
just completely just blasting. That's that'swhat it is. I mean,
you look at number one, hehas twenty one fifty six and eighteen forty

(50:45):
four against. You know, that'swhat about a three hundred point that's that's
a that's a that's a really goodweek differential between the two, you know.
So I mean you look at youlook at yours you have eight.
Yeah, that's here's a great point. You have eighteen fifty four or eighteen
fifty points four in eighteen eighty sevenagainst and you're five and three, so

(51:07):
that kind of proves your point alittle bit there where. Yeah, I'm
playing against the lower scoring teams.So yeah, let's move on with the
week. I'm pretty much done withthis conversation as far as our league go.
Let's let's let's start tackling in weekweek nine. I mean Steelers the

(51:28):
Titans or is it Titans? Whogives a shit? It's gonna be a
bad game, terrible, I am, I'm I'm actually pretty happy. This
is on Thursday. That basically meansI get to have a Thursday to myself.
I don't have to watch football.Pretty fucking excited. I'm happy because
it's gets it out of the wayand I can just watch all red zone

(51:49):
without suffering for the first half orthe second half or any part of my
damn Sunday. What is it?Is it? Are they here? Or
are we there? Not here?Are here? All? Right? So
you're saying picket his game time decision. Who gives a ship? Honestly?
And I you know, I saidthat showed up. Like the thing that

(52:09):
cracks me up is every time hegets hurt, it's because he made some
fucking ridiculous mistake. He's not physicallyhurt, his fucking pride is hurt.
His feelings is hurt. So hefakes that damn injury until he warns to
that damn locker room and he comesout fucking fine. The motherfucker ain't hurt.
That fucking fake. Did you seeMatt Canada's little fucking little snarky ass

(52:35):
thing he did today? So hewas like, it was a little press
conference and I guess an iPhone fellout of a little holster and he was
like, I didn't do that,but I'm sure someone will blame me for
it. Shut the fuck up,you cry baby ass bitch. And like
incidence, that motherfucking we ain't hada four hundred yard game and I don't

(52:59):
know how long years, there's nocoincidence there. And on top of it,
it's him and Picket, Like Ican't put it all on Canada and
I can't put it all on Picket. It's both of them. It's two
ugly motherfuckers coming together to make anugly fucking child, That's what it is,
and each one saying you're uglier thanme, y'are all three are ugly?

(53:22):
All of you are. It's aterrible, terrible offense that has no
rhythm. They come out there staleas an open bag of chips, and
well, I mean, I'm prettysure I mentioned it earlier. It was
like, what we had four consecutivethree announced to start the game. That's
not how you start a game likethat. How are you supposed to build

(53:45):
any momentum? Man? I watchedthe beginning of that red zone in the
first I want to say, tenminutes of that red zone. There's at
least three or four games where somebodythey come out and you know, those
plays are scripted. Those first couplethey go boom boom boom boom boom down
the field, look good, andit's like, that's how you suppost to

(54:08):
start like it might not turn outlike that, that might be the only
score you have, But when youfirst start, everybody the juices is flowing,
they're pumping, they're dredging. IsThemis that should be your best plays
coming right out the gate? No, these motherfuckers is the exact opposite.
They come out shitty, and thena little bit more shitty, and they

(54:30):
just keep it's like and then atthe end they want to out of desperation,
maybe because the defense isn't playing andprevented this time. Thank you.
We are going crazy like it's like, where the where was that from?
This is what bothers me because Igot into discussions on the Twitter sphere because
people were trying to defend this.I'm like, you have to understand,

(54:53):
we have I think it's thirtieth orthirty first team offense and then it's like
thirtieth or thirty first team defense,and people are trying to say no,
they're still doing okay. I'm like, how is that okay? And and
and the thing is they haven't givenup a lot of touchdowns that's fine,

(55:20):
and the defense is safe and Idon't know. It was a big argument
and one of those hazes chants wherethe dude was saying, oh, the
defense, you can't you can't saythe defense is great because they always fall
apart in the clutch and I'm like, motherfucker, they're always on the field.
They're on the field. What youthink they're gonna beat Tamah when we

(55:43):
pay our defense the most they postto carry us. Not like that,
motherfucker, Like, we're your defenseis supposed to score touchdown or your special
teams is obligated to score touchdown pergame. That helped out your sorry ass
offense. What are you expecting fromthe defense. Oh, we paid Minka,
and we paid Watton, and wepaid Hotsmith and okay man, So

(56:12):
I see that and I think oflike the Trent Dilfer uh fucking Ravens.
Yeah, yeah, it's like theiroffense was abysmal, but they still that's
what I think they had Jamal Williamsat that point. Still, Yeah,
I mean, they at least hada solid running game, a great offensive
line, so they wasn't chucking itdown the field. But they was beaten

(56:36):
teams up there. You it didn'thave to he teamed up on the offense
off sensive side of the ball andbeating teams up there of course on the
defensive side of the ball, andso it was a physical, brutal,
motherfucking fight. They their offense helpedtheir defense by keeping their defense off the
field and keeping them fresh. JamalJamal, Jamal Jamal and Jamal Cool do

(57:00):
a little dump off Todd Heat Callto Day. There you go. Oh
Shannon Sharp was to Yeah, Toddywas after that. Okay, fair enough,
so physical player in himself, soyou know he's catching some of them
passes and and laying into the dbacks. That was already titling Jamal Woods.

(57:21):
So what was his name, WilliamsNo Jamal or something. I don't
know. I can't remember after butbut he was motherfucking regardless. So that's
five. It's like a five four, five six minute drive. You may

(57:45):
not you may just punt it,but you know what, You're gonna pin
him deep and your defense is gonnabe on the field for about a minute
and a half and then then there'sjust like going right and they're gonna go
get the sandwich and Call to Day. That team could beat you ten to
three every week because they have thatcapability. This team is literally the It

(58:10):
is still terrifying. That team hada great special team. They had that
Jermaine Lewis dude that can take apunt or a kickoff back at any point.
So Dan, now you're behind it. Now you're losing fourteen and nothing,
and now you got to press theplay against and they blow every chance

(58:31):
they get there is not a Thereis not an aspect of this team that
is scary to any other team.It is literally the anomaly. It's like
that four that keeps banging tense,It's like, how are you doing this?
Like what do you fucking like?How do you keep lucking into this?
And that's exactly what this team isdoing. And the people of Pittsburgh

(58:53):
are so narrow and shallow minded theydon't they can't admit this team is bad.
The team is bad, but theycan't say it. They can't admit
it to themselves because somehow who whoare you talking to? And what are
you listening to? That people aresaying is everybody I'm talking to it every
circle I'm running in. We mighthave a winning record, but everybody know

(59:16):
it's fucking damn shitty and it's noone is parading around tell me it's a
weird place. Is a weird place. It's on Twitter, all the radio
stations and all the every circle.There ain't nobody saying that the Stellers are
good. Nobody. Everybody is like, I don't even know how we even

(59:40):
won. However many games we won, Yeah, it's pretty much single handedly
want to They want against Cleveland thedefense by itself and they want against the
Raiders by themselves. Ye, well, let's get into the decisions on what
you can do on this other sideof the ball. Okay, okay,

(01:00:05):
I mean I guess start Deonta eventhough he thinks the reps are trying to
rip him off, and it's like, okay, has nothing to do with
it. Was a shitty ass call. I mean, I ain't never seen
no shit off sides on offense?What the fuck? What you know?
What though, that's one play?What about the other sixty That's how I
look at it. It's like again, I mean, I understand where he

(01:00:27):
coming from. That. That wasthat little sequence of them them refs calling
that whatever, that little drive rightthere that ended in the field goal that
Boswell hit from fifty six and thenhe had to hit it from sixty one
because they call off sides on theoffense. I didn't even think off sides
on the offense even existed. Ithought it was either false start or motherfucking
the defense jumps off side. Howthe fuck does an offense jump off side?

(01:00:52):
The only time you see that nowis the touschbuars. That's the only
time you see that anymore. AndI think, like now, somehow,
for whatever reason, the running.But yeah, you said that's one play,
but you know Deontay Johnson, butyeah, trot out. Deontay gotta

(01:01:12):
trout out because he's a he's ahome run hitter. And then he cracks
me up. The whole game thatthey played against him, they waited till
like the third maybe fourth quarter tothrow him his first target. It's like
you got a marathon. I mean, you gotta attract speedster, and you

(01:01:36):
never tell him to do any likeyou you never utilize him until the end.
Like Okay, now I'm gonna tellyou why. I'm gonna tell you
why Teddy is too He's he's toointerested in doing his wind sprints when he
drops back like that's that's what itis. He's too busy doing this little
like running in place deal. It'sonce again the game plan thing. It's

(01:02:00):
a Canada thing. That's anything,and it's a confidence thing. It's off,
that's a wind thing, it's aneverything that this team is. They
need to blow it up and figurefigure something out. They need to get
rid of Canada because obviously he isn'tdoing anything. And really at this point
I think they're going to start straightFrankenstein and him to get pitchforks and lanterns

(01:02:21):
and trying to get them. Tomlinhe probably needs to go to Yeah about
that. I mean, like Itold you on this broadcast before, I'm
not ready to get rid of Tomlinbecause of what Thoma's doing. I'm ready
to get rid of him because ofwhat he's not doing. Like he refuses
to put his foot down and gethim the fuck out of here. He

(01:02:42):
refuses the players make change and dowhat's necessary. So by him not making
those necessary changes, my opinion ofhim has changed. Yes, So,
I mean your Tomalinism's are great,wonderful, and that's great when we're winning.
You're a wizard. You're a wizardwith words, okay, where actions
be sluder than words. I'm sickof hearing the fucking wizard tree with words.

(01:03:07):
Fucking put the actions on the field. I'd rather you shut the fuck
up at your conference and put theactions on the field. Don't fucking talk
a fucking good game. Show meone. I'm from Missouri. I ain't
gonna say I'm from Missouri, butI think, like state, show me
the fuck what's going on and shutyour fucking mouth and show me. So.

(01:03:29):
Like I said, I always defendedToney, but now these dumb fucking
actions that he is not taking,get him the fuck out to I can't
believe I'm saying it, but Najihere his piece of shit. That's another
thing Toma refuses to let go.Get Naji Harris the fuck out of that

(01:03:49):
lineup. Make Jalen warn your numberone back and let Naji spell him the
fuck. I mean, if ifanything, if not for nothing, at
least give Nause some confidence, likelet him be in that hey, Jalen
beat him down. Let me ohshit, let me hit that hole for
fifteen cool, get some confidence becauseI don't know if it's all skilled.

(01:04:14):
I don't know, if it's allconfidence, I don't know. But it's
Naji here. It's fucking too slowfor the NFL. He is too fucking
slow, and he picks his field. Vision is fucking hideous. He cannot
see wolves. Yeah, and hemakes the offensive line look like they're not

(01:04:38):
blocking. And I'm not saying they'vegot the greatest offensive line in the world,
but he makes them look worse thanwhat they are. Yeah, because
Jalen's getting loose, so they can'tbe carries. Nagi might get it ten
fucking straight times. Jalen will getit three times and get more yards than

(01:04:59):
he he got on ten times withthree carries. How does that make sense?
I mean, it just keeps goingand going, and you're right,
tom One keeps letting it happen.And we have a visit from m Kitty.
He yo, Kitty, right,let's come Tennessee. That will Levis

(01:05:20):
kidd. He definitely shocked me withthat whole I thought he was gonna be
mister you know. I thought hewas gonna be worse than Like, he
was not gonna let that thing go. This dude was back there chucking it
like sixty yards at a time.I'm like, dude, it was fun.
It was fun, Like whoa.If I wasn't if I wasn't playing
against Hop, I would have enjoyedit so much more. But I'm like,

(01:05:43):
it won't happened to me. I'mlike, I'm gonna have some ship
to say on Tuesday, ain't IOkay? Yeah, it was fun.
He looks capable. I mean Ialmost tried to do Tennessee. Was gonna
shop Tannehill out of trade deadline likeOkay, well he's gonna buy a busted

(01:06:06):
ass quarterback at that point. Butyeah, I get it. But I
mean, I'm pretty sure if hedo it against Pittsburgh, Yeah, Tanner
Hills wrap, it's over for him. He's not gonna he's not gonna see
another snap this season, which isinteresting and sad because it's like ship Tennessee,

(01:06:27):
you could have been fucking in thisrace a little bit better if you
have what a kind of there's nothingelse to say after that. You let
a J. Brown out of yourbuilding. There is nothing else to say
that about that. What a fuckinglike you talk about bad drops woofing.
Wow, they weren't so they hophop is being hampered by a toe.

(01:06:56):
So that probably just doesn't mean agoddamn thing. He'll play, He'll suit
up, think amper by an ankle. That ain't gonna mean shit either.
Yeah, that ain't gonna nothing.And I'm assuming it's gonna be chilli Thursday
night. And look, Henry,when it gets cold, he fucking activates.
He's like a I don't even knowwhat to call him, like a

(01:07:18):
pair of handwarmers, you know howyou like break him on? There you
go, there it is perfect andlike some hands warm and we If you
think our defense has a struggle whenwe're playing against this the regular team,
wait till you have to deal witha big two hundred and forty pounds,

(01:07:42):
the hemoth of a man. Yeah. See, how do you feel after?
Want to depend on Tennessee's game plan. So if Tennessee comes out and
plays the Stellers game, which is, let's make as many mistakes as you
leave you hanging around and let yourscore in and beat us, they're gonna
lose. But if they come outshut the fucking stadium up, like I

(01:08:05):
told you, Jackson, what wasgonna do? Shut Well, Jackson will
let him hang around, but comeout, throw some fucking heavy passes,
shut the stadium up. And thenif they get a league, is gonna
carve them the fuck up. Buthim and what's his name Spears? Yeah,

(01:08:29):
mm hmmm, I'll tell you thatif they can run with that league,
Yeah, it's curtain. It's gonnabe curtains. It's not gonna be
a nice game. It is gonnabe a a low scoring, boring kind
of game. But you know it'sgonna But as a Henry fan, I'm

(01:08:51):
excited to see Henry B Henry.Even though it's against my squad, I
enjoy his I enjoy his work.He just was like a very old school
I'm gonna hit you real fucking hard, and I just I just need to
see him steff on the fuck outof somebody because I just golly. He

(01:09:12):
yeah, he's about as he's aboutas traditional and old school as it gets.
Like, up until this year,they never spelled him with nobody hardly.
Now all of a sudden, theyfinally realizing that he getting maybe a
little long in the tooth, andthey're spelling them with fears. But he
was like one of the like AdrianPeterson where you don't bring nobody in.
You let that motherfucker was a fivedown back exactly. You don't bring nobody

(01:09:42):
in but him, Yeah, thatmotherfucker will kick your field goal because he
said that's why. Yep, yep. But he oh, hi, mama,
what are you doing. Get somewater. We'll come to your teddies.
Okay, one day she'll do it. Funny, but yeah, I

(01:10:09):
mean it's yeah, I mean,it's kind of one of those there's not
really like a super fancy implication gamedeal. It's just gonna be Hey,
I don't know if you're stoned.And it's one of those games where,
you know, how, you turnon ESPN on the Tuesday night and then
there's a somehow there's a college gameon and it's uh, Northeastern Illinois versus

(01:10:32):
fucking Tulsa. That's what the fuckis gonna be. Man, this is
gonna be in the Rock, PaperScissors Championship. You're like, you're gonna
be like a game. It's agame. It's something to watch, and
that's about it. That is it. But you know whatever, I'm I'm
once again, I hate to saythis Wayam's glad to get the team out

(01:10:54):
of the way. Just be donewith it. Yeah, that's fine.
Just look forward to Sunday. Andthis means we don't have to talk about
those games on Saturday when we dothe preview of I Guess a week to
Part two of the Fantasy Year.I guess. So I haven't even looked
at the matchups really, so it'sgonna be a bit of a surprising thing
for me. So I haven't reallydelved into it. So I may not

(01:11:15):
even do it. I may noteven do it till yeah, I may.
I may just wait on it.And just be surprised. No,
I'm lying. I can't do that. I have a team to manage I
talk about. But still, yeah, I actually have not looked and seen
anything. So anybody on a waiver, they will about it. Seemed like

(01:11:35):
the waiver is like super Fan thisweek. There's nothing. Really, I'm
I'm probably gonna grab a Kyne inthe morning. No one's gonna put in
a waiver. And if you dotuck it, I don't care. I'm
not losing sleep over it. Ifhe's there when I wake up, I'll
grab him just for a just fora flyer, because I did drop you
know, uh Murray. But Ican plug somebody else in if I need

(01:11:59):
to. But really, on onour waiver, there's I mean there's some
quarterbacks. I mean, let's see, let's looks. Let's just well not
me, not me. Well youknow what, actually what could be something
that could be an intriguing little deal. You know, maybe that parn him

(01:12:26):
the tight end for the Chargers.I mean he he's like six foot seven.
You know. It seems to getat least a few targets. Yeah,
I mean I was looking at it, But at the same time,
I'm thinking to myself. Was thatbecause the ever Dude was out or that's
exactly what it is. Yes,I'm saying, but the Ever do could

(01:12:47):
be returning. So it's like,yeah, but you know what he's He's
always seemed to do something. Imean you look at his game log here.
Week one he had twelve points,Week two nothing really, Week three
fifteen, Week four he got offeredby on five, six and seven lackluster

(01:13:09):
and last you know, last weekhe did you know, sixteen. So
he's very much a tight end.That's what they do. So I mean,
I'm not going to sit here andsay, go ahead and put them
in your start lineup. But ifyou're looking at you know, it is
a bit of a heavy bye week. If you just want to chuck something
in there, go ahead. Imean Musgrave is still out there. Who

(01:13:29):
knows. Jordan Love is terrible,so man, I wouldn't really touch it.
Yeah, I mean it's pretty bare. But my roster and I'm looking
to make a change, I justcan't. But yeah, the dude I
did play. I did notice somethinginteresting the dude I played. I told
you remember, I was like likefour or five tight is all of them

(01:13:50):
produced? If he would have playedtwo of them. Who do you have?
Let me see who you have?Uh, I don't where I can
check it out here? Look athis bench. Man, If he would
have played two of those tight ends, he would have got me. He
had the porter. Oh that's howI played last week. Yeah, I
played him last week. So hehad comet Joq. He just picked up

(01:14:13):
McBride. Oh boy, he said, all three of them down, and
he could have beat me with anyof them. Reporter, Oh goll he
you yeah, you you got byit by last minute. He put in
some Elijah Moore probably that or sawor achmed Man. Yeah, he put
Akmed in at the last minute.I was just like, damn, he's

(01:14:34):
crazy as hell. Man, hewould have put in McBride, this gay.
This conversation is completely different. Yeah. That that was. That.
That was. I was like,man, I'm complaining he got too many
tight ends, all of them produced. I'm like, god, damn,

(01:14:57):
yeah. I mean you you sawa few weeks where I put out three.
I rolled out I was starting threeand it and and you you you're
kind of busted my chops because Ibasically said, hey, look listen,
let's get really a tight end position, all right, and I'm sitting there
like, I'm just gonna start threeof them because apparently if I just you
know, can't beat them, jointhem. But yeah, in this league,

(01:15:19):
because people aren't really looking at tightends because you're not gonna have to,
some of those volume plays are andthey end up being as worthwhile as
like that third or fourth wide receiverduring that team, you know. So
it's kind of like, eh,that's why I liked it. That's why,
that's why I like this league thatI always I always said I wanted

(01:15:39):
to be a thinking man thinking,Yeah, I'm glad that you you made
each one of those flex spots.Yeah, yeah, I made that mistake
last because I remember last year andI could not start some of them.
I'm like, yeah, that wasa bad Yeah, that was yeah.

(01:15:59):
Well that's that's the bumps and bruisesyou take as a commission. Yeah,
I mean, the NFL wasn't Itwasn't perfect in the in the year,
So what the hell gotta you gottago through some rough patches in order to
get a fucking finished product, asupreme finished product. Wells last little thing

(01:16:20):
here because I haven't really put anythought into it, but just kind of
on your side, Any thoughts fornext year, any changes that you think,
any you know, maybe rolls,score, roster changes, anything you
got. There is nothing I'm upsetabout besides the stupid fucking moves I made

(01:16:41):
myself like there's no There's not beenone time where I was just like,
man, if he only, no, not this year, if I only
And that's the only person I canblame this year, me because I put
that out there in the chat tooto see if anyone had any kind of
insight, because I do want I'vealways got to put this. I want
to be a league A legally isso Kim. He loves it because this

(01:17:06):
motherfucker's willing to sell real money andfor trades like like I think in other
leagues he probably felt he didn't haveenough spots to really like because he's one
of those dudes where he wants toto pick sleepers because he used to always
try to pick sleepers and want tobe that dude that I told you,
So this league allows him to dothat, so I think, oh,

(01:17:29):
yeah, he's a lifer. Fromnow I like it. I mean,
look, that was the whole point, man. I wanted to get people
to I wanted to be like returnresidual, you know all that, and
Taylor already said he's in, soyou know he I mean, I just
think that your league has created whereyou truly cannot blame anyone for your success

(01:17:51):
or non success but yourself. You'veremoved all elements of oh were structured this
way or all? It was,no, this is all. This is
all, And I'm just glad thatnot a lot of people have really I
mean, the people that have bitchedabout they laughed and I'm like, heybye,
it's fine. But generally yeah,oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

(01:18:14):
That quarterback thing, that's probably that'sprobably the only thing that because I'm about
to have a problem with it,but I got a draft better. But
that's about the only thing that wouldbe you know where it's like the structure
of the league has forced me to, you know, make a decision,
and my decision is I'm keeping myquarterback. So just yeah, but you

(01:18:35):
know what, luckily for you,your your your matchup is very favorable.
So it's kind of one of thoselike well you kind of stumble fucked into
that on accident, so you know, well, I mean not this week.
It's just I don't know as manywings as I can't. So when
that week does hit, which ispretty much mixed week, not this week,

(01:18:59):
the next week, Yeah, I'mprepared to take it all if I
have to. I'm gonna still tryto put out a winning squad, but
I take it all. It's like, Okay, this is what I did.
This is but you know what,as you saw you you know this
week somebody put out a single quarterbackand scored the most of the week.
So it's like, it's and thetype of and three six it's not quarterback.

(01:19:27):
Imagine you had to put a quarterbackand this dude would have broke the
record he had have been sitting therefor Yeah, put up four easy.
So it once again just shows you, you know one obviously you know in
your situation, I don't think evenif you even if you realize both your
quarterbacks had the week ten buy,I don't think it would have mattered.
You still would have drafted who youdrafted and been like, fuck it,

(01:19:50):
I'll roll the dice. You knowit. The risk is definitely worth the
rewards. So yeah, it season, and I didn't really pay attention into
it until I want to say,maybe week three, maybe even when the
first by hit, and I waslike, Okay, so when do I

(01:20:11):
gotta do this quarterback shuffle? AndI was like what I was like,
damn. So even if even atthat point, even if I was four
and oh, I would have beenlike, I'm gonna take a l that
week and I'm gonna eat it likea man. And and I'm a I'm
a rebound on my wins before thatand my wins after that. That we

(01:20:34):
all you could do because the riskaward for the type of thing that you
have. Who's your who's your thirdquarterback? Anyway? Nobody not right now?
Oh else you need one? Oh? Well, I had Kyler and
then I left him on the bankingand then because I drafted Kyler as my
third. But then yes, said, looking hurts, like move over Bacon

(01:20:59):
we as I look, I Iabsolutely thought he'd be playing by now.
So I'm I'm playing by at leastweek five or six. Yeah, that's
I'm real surprised with that. ButI'm also not I think I can see
if Arizona was winning and they're like, hey, we don't want to disrupt

(01:21:20):
the rhythm. No, they're gettingblown out, So what what what are
you? They're playing for the firstpick that at that point, they're like,
Carolina, keep winning, baby,do something Carolina that was like came
out today, was like, yeah, we're going to start the tune.
Dude. Probably I'm like, I'mlike, you is that. I'm like,

(01:21:42):
they definitely take that punter who isthat they're definitely taking for a pick,
because that's that don't make no senseat all. And you Daniels just
dobbs against They're quite against Cleveland,right, I think so yeah, So
I don't know if they don't wantto put him in that situation, even

(01:22:03):
though Cleveland got the Breaks beat offa little bit, which you you called
so good call there, bub youyou say, oh, well, their
defense is san fran came out.I mean the Bengals beat them breaked off
of San Friand that's what I'm saying. These great defenses they only can hold
up for so long. Like yousaid, that formula of keeping, you

(01:22:27):
got to have the offense to keepthe defense fresh for everybody to look good.
I don't give a fuck how greatthe defense is. Everyone wears down
at some point. Yeah, andit and it did. It made my
heart happy seeing Seattle expose Cleveland.I'm like, nah, fuck you guys,
you dirty bastards. But yeah,I mean, I don't know.

(01:22:47):
I I guess you could look atthe narrative like, oh, we don't
want to expose Kyler to do atougher defense on his first game back.
Or they could be like we justwant the number one pick. Where else
that we have a better chance withKyle with a banged up Kyler winning than
our punter doing whatever the fuck he'sgonna try to do. So there's that.

(01:23:10):
But yeah, so let's wrap thisbitch up. So we will see
y'all on Saturday with the whole previewand all that fun stuff talking about uh
whatever, Thursday is gonna end upbeing. Yeah, so we will see
you tomorrow for the ex's and o's. I almost forgot about that ship because
I'm bad at my job. Wewill figure out some things to talk about.

(01:23:33):
I you did have a topic andwe'll what was your topic? Oh
yeah, oh yeah, yeah,we're gonna go over this one because we
skipped over it because we got tramptravel trampled with a bunch of stuff.
So remember how you messaged me afew weeks back and you're like, if

(01:23:55):
something about senses about the five centslittle Yeah, talking about you said monster
movies or something like that. Butyeah, navigate, so that's gonna be
the draft part. Yeah, navigatesense in sight, Yeah, male touch
taste. I was leading with thepremise basically ranking I ain't gonna say ranking

(01:24:17):
them, but kind of ranking them. Yeah, like which one can you
go without the least? You know, it's like, okay, if you
take this from me, you cantake this from I mean, the very
worst that you can take from meis this. And now that's gonna be

(01:24:38):
a fun conversation. Like it soundsdark and dismal, but I think that's
gonna be real fun. So maybewe can get if tips awake, maybe
we can get her to jump inand give her insights because you know,
doctor and ship. But uh yeah, then we'll do the draft of the
monster movies or scary movies. Youknow that. That's kind of the draft

(01:24:59):
part of it. Something else.Yeah, we did the monsters, so
let's do the movies that are maybenot monsters, maybe just like the psychological
mind fucks and all that stuff.So and we'll figure out something else to
talk about. I'm sure something willpop in our heads between now and then.
So yep. All right, well, look enjoy your wins, and

(01:25:25):
uh, if you didn't win,you know, don't don't touch your face
off. Keep your eye on thewaivers. No matter how you know,
good or bad you're doing. It'snever a bad thing to kind of take
a peek there, and you know, sometimes play a little defense. There's
a bunch of buys this week,so you know, make sure you're checking
your opponent's roster. If you cankind of make your life a little bit
harder. Yeah, it's not reallythe worst thing in the world. So

(01:25:54):
all right, well, you know, happy Halloween and uh yeah the Halloween
everybody. Yeah, about one minuteit's over. Yeah, yeah, go
take her, Go take your bloodsugar. M all right, Well to
