(00:20):
Looking around like you lost them.Brought to you by car backs. Hello,
Hey, he everybody, it's Louis. What is it thirteen? We

(00:45):
have complete week twelve and going intothirteen. Fantasy wise, this would be
the last week in tradition and backin the day, but ever since the
meets to a seventeen game season,now it goes in the week fourteen.
So this at Scott Hansen was saying, witching hour for ever. You got

(01:10):
two weeks to secure anything, ortwo weeks to just be a piece of
shit like me and just play.So you got like these two weeks.
Definitely, you got those people thatare sitting because usually mostly it's got six
playoff spots, and usually those topthree or four are secured, they're locked,
and then people are battling for thatfifth and sixth spot. So these

(01:36):
are critical the witching hour of thefan, you know what. And to
be fully honest, I am likeastounded that, well, you know what,
I think you were going with yourno hope feel because I'm I was
sitting here like I'm not gonna saymuch because it was not a close contest

(01:57):
between me. Yeah, you gaveme a straight one hundred whopping. I
was like, man, I can'teven get the two hundred, but I'm
at the bottom of the league whereI deserve to be when you don't score
no points. I am a PittsburghTaeler. I'm the Pittsburgh Steelers of this
fantasy league. Where I was.I was, I was an impostor.
I was sneaking five teams and Ihad a good winning record. And at

(02:23):
some point I was five and three. No, you were you were you
were first, and I'm five andseven now, So I was. I
was the Steelers. I was gettingby with some type of hope and bullshit,
and I wasn't scoring, still ain'tscoring. So like, to me,
getting the two hundred is like afucking yay moment, Like, wow,

(02:46):
you know I got the two hundred. I haven't even sniffed past.
I don't even think I got pasttwo fifty this year. I think that
I think our first matchup you,I think you had like two sixty five
or two seventy. Well, that'sprobably when I was healthy and I had
every everybody, and yeah, maybemaybe those first two weeks before you know,

(03:08):
Chub went down, and yeah,maybe those first if it would have
been it would have been in thosefirst two or three weeks, because after
that, either injuries or just dumbshit that I've done. I am the
Pittsburgh Steelers of dirty punt. Areyou? Are you out of it?

(03:29):
Now? Would you? Would yousay that you have absolutely? Like,
yeah, even if I win thenext two and I've become seven and seven,
my points are so low that anybodythat's the same record as me is
gonna beat me, and then thatstory, So yep, it is over.

(03:52):
Let's see something here. I'm curious. So well, I mean,
look, here's what's crazy. Imean, and I don't mean to like
interject hope here, but literally fivethrough ten, I ain't never seen the
league with there's much parody in itwhere everybody is at the is this got

(04:13):
the same record at the bottom.That's crazy. Five through ten is five
and seven. So I mean,and I unfortunately you are at the bottom
of the total poll points. Butand you're not like incredibly close. No,
yea, I have it. GamesI've won, I've won less than

(04:35):
two hundred or maybe a little overtwo hundred. I haven't scored this year.
I just I just had a problemscoring. I'm just looking at this.
I have scored seven hundred more thanyou Jesus scoring at all. So
wow, So you're not actually outof it yet, I mean realistic you

(05:00):
could. You could sneak in.I mean out of those five teams that's
five and seven. I don't knowif they played each other or something like
that, but even if two teamswere left standing at seven and seven,
I'm gonna lose by the points unlesssomehow I score a whole bunch of points

(05:21):
in the process of the two winsI get. Well, I know that
I face two of those five andseven teams over the next two weeks.
So mm, there's that. SoI did clinch a spot this week,
and oh I didn't even see theclinches was there? Like I mean,
like I said, I used tocheck it like a hundred times, but

(05:44):
today, I'll be totally honest.I checked it on the shipter right before.
I I don't look at it anymore. I don't read the blurbs or
nothing. I just skip right throughit because it's I'm sleep walking through the
rest of it pretty much. Itis not an enjoyable experience. Yeah,

(06:04):
no, No one likes to lose, especially people like us that are incredibly
Yeah, I mean and it's andit's weird because, like I'm in,
we've always had like a friendly rivalry, but yeah, it's it's it's weird

(06:25):
because there's always like an unconscious yeahokay, It's like I'm always worried to
play you because even though it's luckand luck of the draw and whatever,
you always seem to play me hard. And I say that, I say

(06:47):
that like you're fucking yeah, likewell Thanksgiving when we said them there watching
you're like getting upset and you thinkingthat you really I'm looking at you like
do you really think? I gottalike, are you you? You really
somehow was still a little fearful,And I'm like, because you knocking on

(07:09):
your door with a uh, witha stick in my hand, like give
me all the money, and yougot a gun in your hand and you're
like he might somehow still take me. You got a gun. But it's
it's a weird feeling because it's I'mmildly happy I don't have to deal with

(07:30):
you in the playoffs potentially, butI'm also like, ah, but like
but I'm also like ship my frienddoesn't doing well. This doesn't make it
enjoyable. So it's like a weirdangel and devil. But I will say
I'm gonna go full speed ahead inthem conis. Tell you that, well,

(07:56):
like everybody that, yeah, youbetter play for them fucking concils.
Yeah, because I wanted to,you know, and this is the time
of the year, and any managersor or uh yeah, if you wait
the last week, they'll try tosay, well, I didn't know I
stopped paying attention. Yeah, tellhim why it's real active. You have

(08:18):
no excuse to say that you didn'tknow blah blah blah, and and any
other commissioners out there. Yeah,take take you to that. Put it
out there. Do something for yourconsolation bracket, you know, make it
interesting. You know. I triedto do that in Andrews league and he
was just like, no, man, I don't think we're gonna do that.

(08:39):
I was like, okay, man, you got He was like no,
what did he say? He basicallybrushed me off, like I'm the
only one that go hard in thecon seas And I'm like, okay,
you you got people that people willcontinue to pay attention if they knew that
first keyps. We don't want toaward the first pick to somebody that something

(09:00):
like somebody that shipped. Basically,they don't want to award mediocrity, but
then you want to turn around andget a first pick to the person that
was the worst in the league.So he's in every ward in mediocrity.
Mediocrity. Yeah, yeah, wellwe've already established that that guy's kind of

(09:20):
stupid. I'm not a fan ofhis, so yeah, y'allah, No,
I mean no, he he thebright the sharpest tool in the shed
for sure. That he seemed likehe stoned all the time. Yeah,
I don't think there's the same partof that. I think he is stone

(09:41):
all the time. But you know, for for all, for people that
didn't know that this is Jermaine's babyhere. He he had this great idea
and I was like, yep,absolutely, so people played for the Yeah,
so how it's gonna work is,you know, you play through the
Conzis and if you end up winningit, then you get the first pick,

(10:07):
second place, second and so onand so forth. Because then that
way, it's not one you can'ttank. You just can't tank and get
the first first pick. It's nothow this how's this going to shifted?
You put in the effort and youget rewarded and if no one else pays
attention, well guess what you justyou know, stumble fucked your way into
a first round like a first overallpick. So hey, cool, Like

(10:31):
if you're the last place player inthe con Seas, you're basically picking six.
Oh yeah, mm hmmm, right, so it doesn't pay to not
pay attention. Well no, no, no, no, it's only a
ten team league. How many people'sin? How many people get in?
I believe it's sex. Oh okay, so it's only gonna be four people

(10:52):
in the con Seas. That's crazy, that's only gonna be twas. Then
okay, okay, whatever. Soanother another thing I would say for commissions
to kind of get into into bedwith is the idea of getting out your
invites kind of now you know,see who's coming back, kind of get

(11:15):
that plan set up so you're not, you know, not doing any scrambling.
You can kind of get the feelof of of what the lead is
gonna look like. And then thatway, what kind of email from there
was like, uh, your commissionwants to know if you're returning next year
or some ship. I was like, what, well, yeah, I
said, I even put that inthere. I was like, even if

(11:35):
some people have already responded, I'mjust gonna send this out as a formal
thing because I want to have somethingto kind of revert back to to look
at so I can say, Okay, I have one, two, three,
four, get it, Yetta,here's where they placed. Yet you
know, all that, all thatjust just to kind of get my ducks
in a row, because you knowhow hard it is for us to maintain

(11:56):
this thing, because we have wegot turnover, Like this is doll in
general. So and it crucks meup is when it rains, it pours,
and when it's when you're starving,you ain't getting ship. So I
remember when we had twelve people inand people was you know, banging down
the door and upset they couldn't getin, and so I mean, that's

(12:18):
just funny to me. It's likewe one year we go from people smad
at us they can't they can't getin, to we're begging people to come
in, and it's like what Ithink. I think Vince will come back
next year because he said he justneeded a year off to kind of get
his mind right. And I reallylove Vin's happy being in them names.

(12:39):
He come off with me just maybeso vulgar, but it'd be so funny.
Every time you see it. It'dbe like Mommy's coming for some shit,
Like what mommy, sweet pussy.It's like, oh god, yeah,

(13:05):
but uh, I guess the bignews of the day is a tailor.
Uh you was just talking about.Oh man, I ain't trying to
I ain't trying to wish nobody toget hurt. But if something something,
something, and here he is.I'm mad about the other league I was
in where I had Zach Moss forlike a quick flight. I did the

(13:28):
same thing. I picked him up, but then I was just like,
I think the bars or something.When Philly was on the by or something
like that, I had to dropbecause I had to sit down. Hurts.
Uh Brown and Philly's defense I havehad. But starting back in the

(13:50):
in the in the reins, howabout Kirwin with Sherwin Williams got damn this
dude? Where did this dude comefrom? I mean, like under it's
like him and Pook in the Coreboth playing on the Rams are like the
most surprising players I've never heard ofbefore this year. It's like, damn
man, They're just like massively productive. Well and we well what else,

(14:15):
what else happened? I mean wewe called it or I called this.
Guess who blew up? Yeah,yep, yep, And I made sure
an the other league I had themin and I was like, I mean,
I was betting against myself pretty much. I was just like, well,
whoever you got, I know they'regonna go to fuck off, so
I get something out of them inanother league, and sure enough I played

(14:39):
Gabe and yeah, I went off. I was the top scorer in that
league, like yeah, and what'sthe name in Brandon's two leagues? Top
scorer in both of those leagues.For some reason, I blew the hell
up. But it didn't mean shit. But I beat some of the best
teams, Like the one team Ibeat was like, I think it's the
second best team, and then theother team he was like the four best

(15:00):
team or something like that. Iknow they were sitting the tests like how
the fuck is sorry? Motherfucker beatme? I don't know. My team
went off. Everybody went crazy.The same league I had gave the baby
in had Kerwin Williams too, wentBuckingham Sandwich through like two touchdowns but ran

(15:22):
two touchdowns. Yeah wait, wait, wait, who's the who's the running
back to that? Kerwin Williams?Who Sherwin Williams. Oh okay, that's
what I thought you said. Okay, yeah, yeah his name? Yeah,

(15:43):
you talking? And that's it.So I think the biggest thing for
him is he had that bye weekin his kind of injury, kind of
designation timeline week, so he hadfour weeks of I R and yeah right,
he said like he was week oneand ship and he sure as hell

(16:03):
he picked up right real left offtoo. I'm like, holy ship,
this dude's a league winner. Iwas watching as he was playing. His
shirt like all the rest of theRams shirts was like still like a dingy
cream color. His ship was dirty, like, I mean, he running
his ass to fuck off. Soit's interesting though. What I find really

(16:27):
interesting about that squad is they wavedyou know, Henderson, then they brought
him back on the practice squad,but they kept Freeman up there, and
I just find that interesting. Iam I kind of thought of runs.
I mean, Freeman, it lookedlike he was running pretty hard. I

(16:48):
mean, he was like not goingdown at first contact tell you that.
Yeah, I mean I guess Ikind of feel a little bit like but
Henderson kind of got you out ofa mind, like when you when you
needed this to happen, you gothim off his couch. He's like,
all right, captain, let's go. And he just did his thing.

(17:11):
And then it's like, oh,okay, then we're gonna play this like
roster thing. We're gonna take youback to the practice squad to bring you
up for the roster stuff. Andyea, and you think you think some
do you think the team should owehim some loyalty or a little bit man
like a little bit dirty. AndI get it's a dirty business, but
it feels a lot about you know, they don't give a fuck. We

(17:33):
make millions, we'll we'll fucking useyou like a condom and then fucking throw
you down when we're done. Imean, that's just they have the right
to do that. It's this isthe NFL, the fucking it's a fucking
productive money making machine that don't givea fuck about nobody. I mean,
it's the most popular sport in theworld. I mean it's like, yeah,

(17:56):
I don't know, I guess everybodygets the attention and then the like
I was just thinking that yesterday Iwas doing, uh, my laundry and
ship and I'm like watching people andwalking around and this is in Stiller Country
again. Stiller game is over,Like but I'm hearing people talking and yeah,
man, you're gonna watch that gametonight. And I'm like, I

(18:17):
don't know no other sport where youknow, people are just continued. I
mean, and it's Chicago and Minnesota. Who gives them? You know what
I'm saying, But everybody gives Huh. Clearly the teams didn't. I know.
It's just it's just clearly like thehottest going on. Like it's it's

(18:41):
the highest, it's the greatest showin town. How much of that do
you think? It's fantasy? Fantasybased? Uh, I want to say
eighty percent of it now, Imean who else? Why else would you?
I mean there's been some Monday nightor primetime games. I used to
watch it before fantasy like, butit would have to be a big matchup.

(19:07):
It's sort of like how I watchcollege, Like, it would have
to be two Nah. I don'teven I can't compare college because even two
great matchups in college like that aMichigan Ohio State game. I didn't even
watch that ship and it was liketwo versus three or something like that.
So no, I can't compare thatcollege. But no, but they get
like I'm saying, like, it'syou're gonna watch the Marquee matchup if it's
not your squad. Yeah, butif it's not, you don't really care.

(19:30):
But when if fantasy got involved,if you got skin in that game,
you're watching it. Or chances is, chances are if you don't got
skin in the game, your opponentdo. So now you got to watch
it to see how much the damageis gonna get done to you. I
did not watch last night's game.I just heard a lot about it.

(19:52):
I'm like, oh, oh,it was terrible. It was terrible.
I mean, I mean, Iain't don't even say I watched it from
beginning to end because I was doingmy laundry. So I just kept looking
at the score and I'm like,damn. And then i got to like
halfway through the second quarter and I'mlike, it's still only three. Nothing

(20:14):
the fuck is going on? Therewas good that you were Yeah, it's
it's kind of almost good that youwere completely out of it at that point,
like if you need it. Yeah, I was like, really,
depending on Hawkinson. He didn't evenget a catch to like the second half.
It's like, damn, I wentoutside. I was like, I
thought my phone wasn't updating. I'mlike my wife, I damn, you

(20:37):
think your phone date updated? Thescore? It is? Well, y'all,
who has done that to it before? So I mean I'm like,
okay, So another question I have, what the fuck is up with that
glory who? Like, From apersonal standpoint, I am very concerned.

(21:03):
I mean before, I mean,I understand it was Baltimore, but he
usual echoes matchup proof. So whathappened? What has he been doing the
past couple of weeks? I don'tknow much. I mean, yeah,
so here, let's let's look atthe stat line here, because it's not
uh not exciting, man, andit's it's getting by any Yeah, I'm

(21:26):
not in any place from like,oh, I may have to sit him,
but he just picked up another starterin fucking mad so you could sit
him down and ship how's that gonnalook? So only eleven points last,
you know, last game, butthat was thirty two rush yards, thirty
two reception yards and a fumble.The week before that was against Green Bay

(21:51):
fucking eight points. He had sixtyfour rush yards and two catches for six
Detroit sixty seven forty eight catching atuddy and the other one was Remember I
told you about the Chargers. Imean they just they're paral fucking losers,

(22:15):
man. And now it's like allthe wheels you're starting to fall off.
Like you used to can depend onfour wheels. Mainly it will be Herbert
Alan Eckler and either Williams or anotherreceiver, Palmer or something. Now those
wheels are falling off. It's theonly person you got put on Allen shit,

(22:37):
I got well, you know whatnow that I'm saying it out loud
and you put that that point outthere, I'm wondering how much this is
gonna change. Because Palmers should becoming back either next week or the week
after. Yeah, they say somethingabout he's able to come off. I
R this week. So yeah,it's probably only I have I have him

(22:57):
as well, and it's actually you. You had him sitting on IR right,
Yeah you never let no. Itried, I tried, I traded
for him, and then two dayslater he got fucking put on IR.
Yeah yeah, yeah, So I'mwondering if that's gonna help because Eckler is
this You're right, he was alwayskind of match approof couldn't really but now

(23:19):
like even his you hear like,oh, twenty six points, and it's
like, that's what he was projectedto get. That's not what he does.
He vastly out you know, exceedshis his projection. That's why he
gets drafted in the first round.Yeah, So it's just I don't know,
I think the whole year's had abad taste in my mouth and then

(23:40):
seemed to kind of lackluster games ina row. It's like, dude,
what are you doing here? LikeI get it, matchups whatever, whatever,
whatever, But you know, youput up twenty three against the Jets,
so it's like, eh, they'relike the Jets aren't that much worse
tosively then Baltimore. Yeah I am. Yeah, So like I can't say

(24:08):
that I think that didn't multiple Alsothat a lot of times here lately the
Chargers have been getting outscored really quickly, and it kind of takes Eckler's shot
out the game to the point whereHerbert is back there chucking it down there

(24:29):
play but they don't got nobody besidesAlan. It's like but you know what,
like Eckler, that's where he madehis money. Like he was never
he never really was like a superrusher. He was always like screen or
a little little just dump off inthe flat and I'm gonna go for if
if if if his the way heplays is obvious enough to you. What

(24:52):
do you think of defense coordinators?They know what how he did it for
years an attack, but he didit for years though, Like what changed?
I mean is he well? Imean the other defenses had to back
up because there were other weapons tobe afraid of. There He's nothing back
there to be afraid of. Soit's like, Okay, you're gonna try

(25:14):
to beat us with Eckler, that'sall you got. We're gonna take him.
We're gonna build Belichick that motherfucker,take him out of the game and
force you to beat us with thosemotherfucking C, D, E and F
type of receivers. Yeah, andthey ain't doing if if well. I
mean, Quentin Johnson can't be trusted. That dude is like terrible. I

(25:36):
mean, remember we talked about thecar. They gave him the keys to
every car in the damn garage,and the motherfucker broke them all. He
hit, he hit everyone. Thatdude can he cannot produce. I don't
understand it. Yeah, they desperatelyneed Palmer back and he's gonna get Pepper,

(25:56):
and I hope he's okay, notjust for me, but just for
like that team itself. It's like, you guys are much better than what
you're showing, like you're putting outthere your own tape because it's such a
weird. It's you know what itis. It's like the inverse of the
Steelers. It's like this team isso bad that they're winning, and this

(26:21):
team is built so good but they'relosing. So it's like, what is
happening? Yeah, that's a goodanalogy. This team is so good that
they continue to lose, and theSteelers are so bad but they continue to
win. It's crazy, Well whatare your thoughts on that? So I

(26:44):
feel encouraged. I mean I feellike, Okay, this is interesting and
it's funny because then I'm starting tosee all these people like see, I'm
seeing all the people that are saying, Josh Jobs is better, you know
than Kenny's are all quiet now it'slike much better than Kenny Pickett. First
of all. Oh, absolutely,he threw who he knew four picks last

(27:06):
night. That was it. Imean, like and coming. There were
some dumb decisions, don't get mewrong, but a lot of times,
you know, the quarterback gets blamedthe picks. Sometimes there's just slips off
free receivers fingers and then it getspicked off, but it looks like it's
the quarterback. So I want tosay, two of them were just totally
boneheaded moves by Josh, and thentwo of them was like like a receiver

(27:29):
that just didn't catch it, tippedit up or he got tipped as he
was throwing it or something shit likethat. It was just funny here and
that I'm like, seriously, peoplelike, we're he had one good game,
subtle and he had one good gameagainst a backup quarterback led team.
Oh you talk about the picket lovers. I thought you was talking about I

(27:52):
thought you was talking about that peoplewere hating on Josh Dobges. Well,
people are saying that there was therewas. I'm seeing people and I guess
they're comparing Dobbs to picket and peoplewere saying Dobbs is better, Dobs better.
But I guess now people are like, oh, no, one's saying
it now. It's like they haveto, Like what else do they say?

(28:17):
Like it moved a little bit betterbecause he discovered the middle of the
field and he discovered that you gota tight end named pett fire prior move,
but you still only score sixteen points. Don't fucking get all crazy,
like we fucking lit up the scoreboardand dropped forty five. It was the
same shit, just a few moreyards involved. He still scored sixteen fucking

(28:40):
points. You play any team witha semi fucking decent offense, you fucking
lose. So don't don't like,don't annoy Kenny Pickett like he fucking turned
into CJ. Stroud overnight. Andit's And it's funny though too, because
it's like, you got four hundredyards that game? Cool? How did

(29:04):
you only score sixteen points? Absolutely? Like like that seems like a difficult
thing to do. I mean,first of all, Boswell's the absolute MVP
as a team, absoluute MVP.This team that is hard, Like how

(29:26):
do you write them like that manyyards and only come away with sixteen points?
Like you said, it's almost likeyou're trying to not score. I
don't know. Well, that onewas a fumble, like they were pretty
much on like the twenty maybe eventhe fifteen, get ready to go in

(29:47):
and then Jalen Warren fumble, theone where the controversial uh it was just
me Johnson weren't even looking and heturned around and shit like that. Yeah,
because they was supposed to score.Well, Deontay Johnson did score it
the play before that, but theysaid that he didn't get the feet down
or no, they said some ofall he didn't complete the catch. But

(30:10):
that's what crashed me up. Tomand challenges the dumbest shit in the world.
But he didn't challenge that play,like what. Yeah, so they
was supposed to score on that one, so that ended up being a turnover.
So that's a bunch of yards thatwent for not so yeah. Yeah,
but yeah, I mean he stillliterally has six six touchdowns and four

(30:32):
picks this year. Like that's it'sweek thirteen high school numbers. Man,
No, it was not high school. Didn't like that shit up. I'm
just saying that. I mean,well, going to like my high school.
You know, it was run likethey barely threw it. Every everyone's
in a blue moon. They eventhrow it, but most of the time
it was run, run, run, run, run and run some more

(30:56):
like it was so for a highschool quarterback at al Kuppla, six touchdowns
and four fucking interceptions is all right? Let me ask you this, so
because I know I know the numberto this, but through twelve games,
well, no, actually eleven gamesplayed because the bye week and all that.

(31:18):
So through eleven games played, howmany yards do you think he has?
You said eleven games played? Yeah, because the bye week, so
he's only played eleven. Yet,top tier quarterbacks they usually throw football four
thousand yards per season, so atthis point in the season, a semi

(31:42):
decent quarterback should have maybe three thousandyards. What does he have even twelve
does he even get over one thousand? What's your what's your actual guest?
Eleven games, he's got to haveat least two thousand yards? Is that

(32:12):
it? M Well, that's actuallycrazy. That's the exact number he has.
He is exactly two thousand yards.Yeah, I mean I watched the
games. You gotta understand, That'swhy I estimated properly. Because you don't
watch them, you don't get fucked. I watched the games. I know
how much easy he's dropping like abuck seventy a game, maybe even a

(32:36):
buck fifty some games. So he'snot he's not putting up the yard.
So taking eleven games a couple gameswith two hundred, like I said,
a good decent a good quarterback isusually per season dropping four thousand, maybe
five thousand is like Peyton Manning DrewBrees right, four thousand is probably average.

(33:00):
And I'm sitting the bird thinking middleseason is seventeen games, so eight
or nine games, about eight orninth game he should Stroud has. He
should have been at two thousand yardsabout eight or ninth grade. He's dude,
we're talking about eleven games. Sothat's why I kind of said,
Okay, if he ain't got twothousand by eleven games, got damn it.

(33:24):
Yeah, we're gonna look up justfor giggles here, Uh okay,
what do you think CJ. Stroudhas right now? Stroud eleven games,

(33:46):
Stroud's been throwing for like three andfour hundred yards per per contest. Straud
might be like he might be atthree thousand maybe right now, or thirty
two hundred or some shit. Yeah, fucking guru, shut the fuck up.

(34:07):
Huh thirty two sixty six. Dang, I'm on, I'm nosing it,
yo, Stroud is hitting them.But anyway, the whole, the
whole point behind this was you knowwhat kind of see it looks encouraging,

(34:30):
you know, hey, I meanseemingly Canada definitely was a problem. But
the biggest difference that I see is, like I said, the only big
difference I've seen was the utilization ofthe middle of the field and discovering Friar

(34:51):
move and discovering some receivers in themiddle of the field. I don't know
if Canada had some type of allergicreaction to the middle of the field or
did they call any of those jetssweeps. I'm trying to think, you
see, I'm asking you and youdon't even watch. I don't think I've

(35:15):
seen those wasted play on a ona fucking stupid jet, not a jet.
Sweet. What do you call thosethose wide receiver screens? What do
you call it? Yeah? Thoselike the dumb shits. He I didn't
see none of those. So thatchanged. Najie Harris looked a little bit

(35:37):
more productive because instead of calling Huntand handing it straight to him, they
had him like line up in asingle back set like pretty far back,
like eight yards deep, and Iguess I don't know if that's a way
to help him somehow pick a betterhole. So he looked the better and

(35:58):
then you know it's for me tosay, Naggie Harris looked better, and
then is that opposite? Jayleen Warrenlooked terrible. I don't know what what
that was about. Jalen Warren lookedterrible and Najia Harris looked good. That
was weird. Well, it's ait's a game of parody, so who
knows, mm hmm, But whatI don't know them. Remember how we

(36:25):
talked about backups. You know,they look good when they're the backup,
but when they get the starting role, they they fault. There's a lot
of people were saying that behind itafter that game, that they was game
planning for Jayleen Warren. So theystart treating Jalen Warren like the weapon to
stop and he looked terrible when theygame planned for him. He was no

(36:47):
longer a surprise that came off thebench. Just seemed like Nagy was more
of the surprise. So oh,He's also proven that in the past,
though too he tends not to reallyshow up. But it's kind of one
of those like, well, let'ssee if this year is different than seemingly
Probably not, but okay, whateverit it's a win, it's a positive

(37:13):
step. We'll see, all right. So anything else interesting this week that
that kind of you know, sticksout administrative Like you see the the the

(37:35):
Carolina coach got fired and it's like, yeah, you didn't even give him
a year, Like what do you? What did you? I think because
of their stupid organization didn't choose C. J. Stroud and they looking at
how great because they could have chosenthem, but they chose the Brice young
guy. How do you blame thecoach for that? That ain't his fault

(37:57):
that y'all made the wrong decision onthe wrong quarterback. Then y'all all come
together and sit in the office andmake that decision. He has to take
the ball for that. Well,what I heard is I guess they didn't
really like what they saw in thefield in a hole, which I don't
know. I feel like the runninggame got your number one receiver is fucking

(38:21):
Adam Feeling. But you didn't goout and trade like you had plenty of
time before the trade deadline to putsome money on the line and some draft
picks or whatever the fuck you hadto do to secure a Jerry fucking Judy
who trashed. But he was oneof the shop candidates. I mean,
uh, there were plenty of receiversout there that were just scrunting, and

(38:43):
then you didn't make an attempt toget none of them. There's plenty of
running backs sitting on the street.Ain't for net No. Four. Nette
went to the bills, but hewas still dead. Somehow he didn't suit
up, but he was out theresitting there on the couch still. I
mean, you could have traded forDalvin Cookoo wanted to get the hell out

(39:05):
of there. You stayed with youwith Hubbard and fucking Miles Sanders like you
didn't surround him with any talent.But I guess if you shouldn't, I
guess you say that it's those receiversthat talented in Houston. Probably not so
Stroud does make them look better becauseNoah Brown wasn't ship in Dallas. He's

(39:31):
all of a sudden though, Well, Tank is definitely the true Nico.
I mean, I don't know,I don't even know how long Nico has
been in the league. But Idon't recall him being productive before Stroud got
there. He wasn't ship. No, he hasn't elevated. Robert Woods tell

(39:57):
you that. Yeah, I meanW Salt is a super trustworthy Yeah,
because he's huh yeah, Yeah,that's what I'm saying, Like he's he's
like a rookie quarterback. Yeah.They went out and got decent tight end.
They stopped fucking with you know,those prevn Jordan's and whoever the hell

(40:21):
else dirty actually went out and gota bone to five ye star. Yeah,
established as an established tight end.Yeah. But my thing is you
didn't do anything to to put anythingaround him. I mean you're saying that

(40:45):
you're mad with what happened on thefield. I don't know how good the
offensive line is supposed to do withthat. It's like you can't make chicken
shell, chicken salad or chicken hipand if you don't have the ingredients,
like what are you supposed to do? Yeah? I don't, I don't
know. I just I just don'tlike. I mean, the new owner,

(41:07):
I don't know how long he's beenthere, but he's already fired three
coaches. He fired Ron Rivera,he fired Matt ruhle and he just fired
Frank right, not even after oneyear? What fucking coaching they right,
mind's gonna want to come there.It's like, you know what, you
know what team? This reminds meof, right he's doing. Who was
firing like crazy every no no,no, hold on who who every year

(41:36):
they were firing Cleveland. There yougo, Okay, I mean you can't
have a you can't have a short, short leash and pull the plug like
I understand this is a win now, you know type of business college.
I guess they give him like threeor four years to give them time for

(41:57):
their recruits to come in that theybring and so NFL. You gotta give
somebody at least three years unless they'resome old unless there's some fucking what's the
one, the urban Meyer, unlessthe urbaner ship when they partying with bitches
and and fucking they're all over thecameras and doing dumb ship. You gotta

(42:17):
give them at least three years.Man, that one year that you got
establish your fucking your culture, Yougot to your stamp your signature, something
like one year. This is alsowhy those teams aren't successful. That's that
it's kind of you're you can't bewaiting. But you have to go as

(42:43):
far as the stealers, who youknow, they only hire one coach every
twenty decade, I mean every twodecades. I mean, you hunts a
sweet spot, there's a sweet spotyou known't you don't have to rush the
process, and then you know,you give time to simmer and if you
don't see this panning out, thenyou move on. But you have to

(43:06):
give it time to see it actuallyestablish something. You can't draft a working
quarterback. I don't care how greathe is or great he was or whatever,
was three and thirteen his first year. This is Peyton fucking Manning.
I mean, like, can youimagine if they fire Tony dunjury after one

(43:27):
year because Peyton Manning was three andthirteen. I mean, they didn't even
wait the whole year. That's justthat's just too impatient for me. That's
goofy shit, Like you didn't evengive this man one off season to bring
in nobody to work with nobody.Damn. Yeah, yeah, that was
goofy. But yeah, besides that, anything else crazy? Uh That Bill's

(43:59):
Eagles was one of the best gamesof the year. That was fun.
Yeah, the Bills looked like theywas like they like we coming to play
like the Bills looked at like twoyears ago Bills. Right. I was
I ain't gonna say highly upset,but I was pretty upset that they lost
that game. I wanted them tobeat Philly really bad. It was one

(44:22):
of those things that they didn't deservethat loss. Again. It's like,
yeah, it was just like,okay, if anybody can give up or
to if anybody could sacrifice a lossand still be okay, it was Philly
and anybody that needed that win moreto turn their season into a more winning
season, it was Buffalo, andBuffalo played they ass off and they still

(44:42):
lost it. Just it was justa little I ain't gonna say I felt
sorry, but it was just alittle little crushing like damn, and you
could just see it all over JoshAllen's face, like I played my ass
off and we still long Buffalo.Buffalo needs to spend up. Buffalo needs
to spend off the soft season andbring in a big name to catch balls.

(45:05):
They don't. No, That's whatI didn't understand during the off season,
and that's why I think they weresaying that Diggs was upset because DeAndre
Hopkins was floating around like a fuckingand the sewer. The motherfucker was floating
in the water waiting on something.Though that feels like too much. Both

(45:32):
divas need each other to take thepressure off of each other. Yea double
and triple. If I'm Diggs,I'm like, man, I don't want
no big, big head personality inhere. But then after a while I'm
gonna be like, well, hetaking the pressure off of me, and
he allows me to get open.And then hops is saying the same thing,
like they gotta watch him so maybeI can shine. So they gotta

(45:54):
be They gotta realize it's a mutualbenefit to each other. Yeah, but
they're athletes, so they don't thinkthat way. They're idiots. So what
are you talking about bringing? Anduh who Like I'm talking about it,
receiver. I mean, that's whythe Eagle man, I wouldn't have go
I wouldn't have went like archaic withhot But like, I don't know what

(46:15):
else. Only one that was,like I mean, who was out there
that was like I wasn't I'm notsure like that that's kind of I mean,
if he was, yeah, Idon't know. Only one that was
that was like floating out there.That was a big surprise, big name
anybody else that was like, you'renot dealing Fuck who was Who's some receivers

(46:38):
that was with another team last year? That's what I'm trying to think of.
Yeah, like who you gone ondifferent squads this year? I don't
know. Yeah, Beckham, don'tnobody didn't know. I wouldn't brought his
h like everyone. Yeah, I'msaying, like everyone you're naming is like

(47:00):
thirty three and off like Beckham.And then the Steelers got Adam Robinson.
I wanted to brought his old assin. The Browns got he, Lodjah
Moore or something, wouldn't have broughtin. I'm just going through the divisions
just to think about it. Cincinnatididn't bring nobody in. Okay, so

(47:22):
we go to the Dolphins. Theydidn't bring nobody in. Of course,
we already talked about the Bills.They didn't bring nobody in. Patriots,
he would you have brought in aJuju Smith shooter? Fuck him? The
Jets? Would you have brid inAllen? It was hard? What the

(47:43):
fuck? That ain't nothing? Mhmm. Wasn't really no big big name
receivers out there. I'm trying tothink. Okay, so now we're talking
about the East, and then let'stalk about the South. Was there tag

(48:04):
Wars? Did they bring anybody in? Cop They didn't bring nobody in the
Texans Robert Bobby Trees, I meanright in, Bobby Trees, no kid.
And then Bobby Tree already played forBffalo. He started in Buffalo,

(48:28):
so you wouldn't put him that.Yeah, before he went to the Rams.
Yup, he was with Buffalo.Uh, So I said, Houston,
Tennessee. They the one that broughtin hot And then we're gonna go

(48:49):
what we went FC north, wewent east to go west, AFC West,
the Chiefs they brought in? Whodid they bring in? He seemed
like they brought in the same peoplethey let go. And then they brought
him back. Uh, the Raiders, I mean Davante was already there.

(49:10):
They didn't bring him in. Chargers, they didn't bring nobody in. Nope.
And then Jacoby Myers, the Raidersbrought in Jacoby Myers. Maybe,

(49:31):
but did you like the He's likethe only one that would that card.
Yeah, Jacoby Myers is probably theonly one I know that's that was out
there. You go to the NFC. Let's start with the Eagles division.

(49:52):
You're not bringing in Julio Jones.Sorry, you're not bringing in Dallas Brandon
Cooks mm hmm. Isn't he likenine years old? Ninety? Yeah?
Yeah. Uh the Giants that theybring anybody in. They brought in noo

(50:15):
yeah, everybody. No. Andthe red Skins and they bring in anybody
uh no, no, the Veggastheir biggest name was Dots and he was
drafted. So yeah, okay,we go to NC you know, the

(50:35):
uh North Chicago. DJ Moore Ohyeah, m m. I could have
been about that guy, that poorpoor d J Moore. Yeah, that
was a big free agent name,d J Moore. Yeah, DJ More

(51:00):
in Buffalo that I could have tooksome heat off of what's his name?
You gotta watch DJ and More doesn'tseem like he seemed like he can get
along and you know, play niceso to speak. Dude, he would
just be so happy to be onan actual team with a quarterback. Yeah,

(51:22):
shut up and go. Yeah,it'll be like, man, hey,
man, I'm fine. They'll belike you're cool with this. He'd
be like, yep, I'm good. Yeah. So that's the Bears,
Kreen Bay. They didn't bring nobodyin the out there Detroit did they bring

(51:43):
anybody in? No, Detroit iskind of home product. Yeah, so
let's go to the South. Didthe Saints bring anybody in? No?
Uh? Oh, Falcons bring anybodyin? Mm hmm. Now anyway,

(52:08):
you know I love that mother lastyear. So we did the the We
did the Falcons, the Saints.Who else? No, of course,
Tampa Bay did they bring anybody in? No, No, nobody. So

(52:34):
it's Tampa Saints, Falcon and uhisn't that division? Saints, Falcons,
Bucks mhm day oh vision, theymust be shifting his hell, I can't

(52:57):
think of them. The Saint,the Falcons, the Buccaneers. Get the
fuck out of here. I couldthink, Well, I'm gonna go to
the West. The Rams they bringanybody in? Nope. Now see I

(53:20):
don't bring anybody in. Nope,Nope. They trafted, Yeah, Arizona
bring anybody in? No? Now? Uh? Forty Niners bring anybody in?
No? Now? Okay, man, who is that last team in

(53:45):
the South? That is crazy?Saints, the Falcons, the Buccaneers,
Vikings, No, they was inthe North. Raiders, No gonna see
South? Oh my God, it'sgonna it's gonna be an. I don't

(54:12):
think about Tampa Bay Panthers, Panthers, Carolina, God, damn, they
brought in Feeling. Yeah, who'sninety years old? And that's it.
Yeah, So DJ Moore or andh those are the only people that was

(54:35):
out there. Buffalo could have grabbedthose people. Yeah. I don't know
what their tap situation is though,but yeah, I don't know. I
don't know. Well, speaking ofsomething we had nothing to talk we didn't
talk about yet. But let's seehere, all right, So the the

(55:08):
bye weeks we got yeah, yeah, definitely Buffalo, I know, I
got a whole bunch of Buffalo,the Ravens, the Vikings, Bears,
Raiders and Giants. Damn real quick. Yeah, so let's just quickly talk

(55:42):
about this and how dumb it is. The NFL really has to adjust how
they do buys because this season hasbeen fucking dumb, Like you had what
two or three weeks with no buysand then like two or three with six
doesn't make any sense, Like that'sjust it's just like why would you take

(56:05):
that many games away in one right? And and look, the NFL can
play punt intended they can play thatthey don't care about fantasy, but that
brings so much money into them,because do you think people it's like Thursday's
game this week is Thursday, isa Thursday against Thursday, dumbass Seattle.

(56:30):
It's Thursday against the day, It'sSeattle. It's Seattle at Dallas on paper.
Yeah, but do you think thenation is going to be tuned into
that game because they really want towatch that those two teams And I don't

(56:53):
think so, you know, Idon't know those teams far as you know
the cities where those teams play.Yeah, they're gonna tune in, and
somebody that may say, oh,this is the Bobs e versus sixteen as
far as the playoff race, they'regonna tune in because they think it's a
decent matchup. But seventy of thepeople that's tuning in got skinning that game

(57:20):
because both those teams have great qualsplayers. And let's be honest, that's
probably not the best example because we'vehad much worse matchups, But that's just
the segue to the matchup talk.But still like they can't they stop pretending
that fantasy doesn't matter. That's becauseI watched the NFL network all day pretty

(57:46):
much is what's running on my TVpretty much all day, and they got
like at least two or three showsit's dedicated to fantasy football and the outcomes
of it. And this is theNFL network, so they definitely know it
is a very important thing that drivesI mean, and why do you think

(58:07):
coaches address it on press conference?If it was if it was like a
geek squad fucking dungeons and dragon gamesthat only geeks play over in the corner,
nobody would even talk about it.But the coaches know. Everyone knows.
I don't want to impress your fantasyroster. It's fucking an unage event.

(58:30):
I don't know how you play fansin any of those other sports.
Her you've done what have you donebaseball? I've done baseball, and I've
been hockey. I mean, isit exciting? Yeah? It is so
the base the baseball one is literallya full time job. It is exhausting.

(58:54):
Hockey. Hockey is fun. Hockeyis fun because how it works is
you set your lineup for the week, and you know you kind of based
on kind of you're basically there's likefourteen stat categories and how you win.

(59:19):
It goes by goals assists plus minushope, what's the stats and how you
basically win is if you have morepoints in that stat category, you get
a point and you know, itjust kind of goes like that and you're
a running tally and yeah, soit's it's it's a different build, but

(59:42):
it's definitely fun. So you stillgot more hand to hand with an opponent
every week. Yeah, yeah,yeah, but yeah, I I just
the schedulers really gotta fucking coordinate thisbetter next year because it's it's ugly.
It's ugly, Like I get it, you need breaks whatever, there are

(01:00:08):
other things that go on in thesearenas, and what happens will do it
breaks? I think it's I thinkit's a scheme designed to make you want
their product more. So it's here'ssome crack. Let me take it away
from you for a week and thengive it back to you and see how
you feel. Just But they don'tneed they don't. They don't need to

(01:00:30):
though. That's the thing. Likeyou don't know, I mean, I
don't know if you play like gameson your phone or something like that,
But how many advertisements have you seenfor certain apps that are already popular that
almost everybody already got, they're stilladvertising when people don't got it. And

(01:00:51):
it's like like when I see likelittle Facebook ads, tiktoks and Instagram commercials,
I'm like, we're not commercials.But like little commerce was on my
game, I'm like, everybody gotit? What you greedy motherfucker? Like,
why are you advertising? That's agood point, fair enough. You
don't want to become irrelevant, youwant to I mean, you know I

(01:01:13):
say that it's almost like sometimes it'salmost a flex. It ain't even it
ain't even like, hey we're tryingto you know, ask you to sign
up. Sometimes it's motherfucker, letme show you who the biggest, baddest
motherfucker in the room. And sometimesyou got to lift your chest up and
just show people that, hey,I'm the I'm the bad motherfucker here.

(01:01:34):
You know, Like who's wallet isthat it's the one that says bad motherfucker
on it? Nice reference. Imean, sometimes you gotta just let people
remind people that you the man.So sometimes I think it, but still

(01:01:55):
like just yeah, I don't dothis ship Like if you had one week
where you had no buys okay,or one week where you had six because
there was some crazy ever really beinglike they just started this this crazy ship,
because I remember it would go itwould they would start in week four

(01:02:17):
and it would be like two andthree, like three a week like and
it would go play out through thewhole season. They start, you know,
tampering with the bys just to makeit more dramatic and all, and
all it's done is piss everybody off. It's like, good job. So
maybe this is the one off.Maybe they're like, we want to try
something news the old one and everyone'slike fuck you would no bad? Yeah,

(01:02:46):
so all right anyway, yeah byeweeks. Okay, they wouldn't even
hear any flack about the buys ifthere was no fantasy You think I give
a fuck who's when and who's not? The Bye Wees only cater to fantasy
players. Gonna have to deal withthe madness behind it. Yeah no,

(01:03:09):
No, that that's once again proventhe point of like it's a scramble.
Fuck, it's like, whoa yougotta do all this ship? And it
seemed like what's what's a degree?Huh? What's I mean? It's exciting

(01:03:30):
to a degree because you're like it'sshaking people up, and it's like,
how are you going to react whenthe earthquake hits? You're like, earthquake,
get down. Either that or you'rejust gonna be like all right,
I'm cool. Like it's almost I'mnot even being I'm not even being affected
by this bime again at all.I have this zero effect me. You

(01:03:52):
don't got no Bill Well, yougot gay I mean you know what I
mean. You got players there loaded, locked and loaded and ready to go.
But yeah, if you were inthe choice these traditional leagues, I
mean, the thing that gets meabout both of these Botto mcgattens is they

(01:04:12):
make sure it's at least two goodass teams that got a lot of fantasy
players on them. And this Bobmcgadden, it's pretty much Philly and not
not not Philly, it's Buffalo andwho would you say, the Ravens.
Yeah, who people, got alot of people going. I think the
last it kind of those city happenedthis late in the year though. It's

(01:04:35):
a little like, dude, reallyjust weeks I told you these two witchy
guy you should have by McGain inthis league Week thirteen, there is a
whole bunch of squads out there.That was like they knew that they they

(01:04:59):
need to get in and they're gonnalose off the simple fact that they don't
have a player capable to replace theplayer on the by and they're gonna miss
the playoffs because of this fucking buye. That's crazy. Yeah, all right,
well let's talk about Thursday and getthe hell out of here. So

(01:05:20):
Seattle at the Cowboys, like yousaid, kind of on paper, sounds
like it should be good. Dependson what version of Gino shows up.
That's exactly what I was just aboutto say. It all depends on Geno
Smith which one is gonna show up. But I don't even think it's gonna
matter because Dallas's d is is.I don't know, man, Like I

(01:05:41):
don't want to HEALTHI or not.I don't really want to deal with that.
Yeah, I don't think you're gonnaset anybody, but uh, I
mean, as a JSN owner,I'm not excited about it at all.
But I have the idea of,Okay, well maybe he'll slide past because

(01:06:04):
he's not going to get all theattention. But I don't know what Gino's
gonna look like. Yeah, Ijust think that on paper, Dallas should
get out to a quick lead andSeattle is going to have to throw it

(01:06:26):
so that eliminates the run games Walkers. Once you start depending on Dallas,
they are a team that all apart. Once she starts saying that Dallas got
him, that's when Dallas loses.So I don't know, yeah, I
mean I guess. Carol said Walkershows no improvement, no progress so far,

(01:06:50):
which is never a good sign.But also Pete Carroll just says random
ship, he's like the worst coach. Coach information, Yeah, Carol,
Carol is like a true he liesjust to do it like so yeah.
So but even with that sharp andthey had had the keys and did not

(01:07:13):
look good. It's one of thoselike yeah, maybe fran though too right.
Yeah, but you know what though, you know they've I don't know,
like didn't didn't moster go crazy onthem. Not not comparing the two,

(01:07:35):
but I mean they have been slashedthis year. It's not like they're
like the you know, yeah,they can be ran on him, but
he just uh didn't didn't look good. But also that's what it hurts,
you know, So those things definitelyhave to be attributed to and and they

(01:07:58):
do go hand in hand. Bull, what's the quarterback have to do with
the running back? Fucking everything?Retard, stop talking, right, you
can't you can't establish the run ifyou can't rely on anyone, Well,
there's no If there's no threat ofa pass, you can't run. So
ask ask Saquon Barkley. That askanyone good running backs. If there's no

(01:08:21):
threat of a pass, I don'tgive a fuck if you're Berry's asked Barry
Sanders, even though he had tosomehow do crazy the crazy. This dude
had to create the craziest moves aliveto get away from some of that ship.
So yeah, if you Barry Sandershad the threat of a passing game,

(01:08:45):
that motherfucker would have been twenty timesmore awesome than he was. Who
who was this quarterback? John Kittna, like Scott Mitchell or some shit Scott
Mitchell. And then I'm trying tothink, I don't know if Charlie played
with him, Backs played with hima little bit, might have. I

(01:09:06):
think Batch might have had a yearor two with him before he returned.
Yeah yeah, that's a nice littlelike fucking feather in your cap. Yeah
yeah, yeah, that was backday day, But yeah, I would
I start, I was watching BarrySanders when I wasn't. I couldn't appreciate

(01:09:32):
how great he was because I wasjust too young, Like I didn't you
know, watching football, like Iwas grew up loving the eighty five Bears,
you know what I mean, likethat team, and like I didn't
get I wish I could see BarrySanders with my adult eyes. Now back
then, you know, when hewas running there, not gonna appreciate it

(01:09:55):
because I was too young to beable to appreciate it that when he was
actually active. Yeah, I meanthat happens. I mean it's kind of
you almost kind of wonder what youngerkids when they when they saw Troy play,
if they could actually appreciate and like, I mean, they just knew
he had Mommy, I wont hishair, Like they didn't really see what

(01:10:18):
he was out there doing, howhe was chaining the game. Like they
didn't see it. They just seennumber forty three and he had this long
hair and it was coming out ofhis helmet and that was cool. They
wasn't watching him make the plays.They didn't care, jumping over fucking linemen,
blocking kicks and shit and catching interceptionswith his hand with his hand underneath

(01:10:40):
I remember that. I think itwas like a Jets game or some playoff
game or it gets the Chargers.This dude caught the shit like like the
ball was on the ground and hefucking had a couple fingers underneath it and
he had to catch an interception withlike like one hand underneath it. I
was like, the craziest, mostimprobable interception. He was in the snow

(01:11:02):
too, the most improbable interception I'veever seen. And after he did that,
I mean it's not like I wasn'talready blown away and floor it before
that, but after that, Iwas just like, Stude, this fucking
amazing. My man's out here,I mean, unbelievable, yo. And

(01:11:26):
I remember that one when they playedagainst some Tennessee member smashing Dash, the
h Lyndelle White and the was itChris Johnson or whatever. Yeah, they
handed to the Chris Johnson like theI don't know, like towards the goal
line where he was at our goalline trying to rush. Seems like he
was about to break it. ThenTroy shot like a torpedo across the screen

(01:11:47):
and stopped that dude form like atwo yard loss and just got it wal
like he wasn't shit. I'm damnyeah, dude was amazing. Yeah,
yeah, I'm glad I can appreciatethat I see one of the greatest players
to ever play the game. Yeah, I mean I don't I don't think

(01:12:10):
there will ever be a safety likethat. They could do what he could
do. No, people try tosay, oh, Ed Reed was better,
and I say that Troy was astrong safety, a Reed was a
free So you can't really compare thetwo because I mean, you can't just

(01:12:30):
say a safety is a safety.Strong safety is primarily you know, watching
the cover and the tight ends andhe's there to support the run. And
it's a different type of safety wherefree safety is back there playing center field
and just waiting for the passes tocome his way to pick off. So
they're not even I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna say that here's a hot
take in today's NFL Ed Reed wouldnot be nearly as good as he was

(01:12:55):
portrayed to be because he was justa big fucking hitter. I'm gonna lay
out out, I'm gonna hill,you can't do that. Now. You
take that way from his you takethat away from his game. He's a
good covered safety, cool, nothingspecial. Sorry hot take. Yeah,
suck my Dick Baltimore. No,I mean, had he could find the

(01:13:18):
ball and take it off, Imean, if you threw it even close
in his area, he was takingthe risk. So I give him the
interception skills. But you right,a lot of a lot of some of
the great safeties and the great playersthat even linebackers, a lot of the
great players in this in the eightiesand the nineties, they wouldn't need They

(01:13:40):
would be kicked out of the NFLbecause how soft this then got. Like
ray Lewis couldn't really thrive in thisenvironment. Yeah, oh, Bill Romanowski
would have been hung. They wouldhave put him on a cross. One
of my one of my one ofmy favorite players of all time, John
Lynch, Nope, no chance.You would be nothing because you can't do

(01:14:04):
what You would do it one timeand they would get fined, and they
would do it again. Then theywould get suspended, then they would they
would kick him out of the lake. It was you can't do it no
more. So that's my hot Idon't know. So yeah, anyway,

(01:14:24):
let's let's get go ahead. Iwas gonna say, yeah, I mean
to put a stake in that.Yeah, like there's it's a different game
people say all the time, butit actually really is. You pick apart
the skill sets and infamy of thesecertain players. I mean, Troy wasn't

(01:14:45):
really I mean, I guess Troywas a hitter, but he was more
like a playmaker. He wasn't reallyknown for like laying you out across the
middle of the field. He wasn'treally he was gonna make you. He
was gonna player. He was veryalert, very he was. He was
definitely a cerebral player for sure,very smart. Couldn't get too much past

(01:15:08):
him. Yeah, mm hmm,Yeah he was. He was gonna kill
you at the line of scrimmage,but like he's not gonna blow you up
if you do like a slant,that's not I mean, he'll pick that
ship off. He'll he'll jump theroute. But yeah, you know ed
like he wasn't looking for the bighit, Like he made some big hit
or he made some some some tacklesthat were where he, like you said,

(01:15:31):
dove over top of the line tostop you. But he was just
trying to outsmart you and and andstop yards. Yeah, like Ed Reid,
John Lynch. They were looking toblow your ass up, and that's
Lovey Clark. Let's go God damnClark. Ryan Clark was a Clark.

(01:16:00):
Yeah he was mm hmm yep.He tried to take if it was a
cartoon and you could see them therethere or come up out of their body.
Ryan Clark's a little soul up theRyan Clark hotline, and that man

(01:16:21):
still looks like he can play yeahon ESPN. Yeh. So, I
mean we don't have to do you. I mean, do you want to
talk about or do we talk about? No, we already talked about so

(01:16:41):
everyone knows. By the way,we're changing the format a little bit.
No more talking about eligibles. Y'allknow who you're starting. If you don't,
then I don't go listen to anew fancy podcast. I don't want
to tell you. Okay, we'regonna start to kind of go over you
know, your start sit kind ofthings like hey, would you play this
guy over this guy in this matchup? Or it doesn't even have to be

(01:17:04):
like like for example, and Ijust said this off screen, but you
know, scary Terry mccorn has hada terrible year would you start in this
matchup JSN against Scary or Scary Terry. I don't know, that's not necessarily
the question, but that's kind ofgonna be the format a little bit as

(01:17:25):
we go on, when we justcover the Thursday and then the Saturday kind
of previews for the rest of thegames, because honestly, you know,
in look full disclosures, you mayhit me up and he's like, hey,
look, I'm getting bored with it. It's getting boring. We're doing
the same stuff. We're not reallydoing anything different. And I was like,
yeah, you're right, we're not. It's very much recycled stuff.

(01:17:46):
And it's not because we're trying to. It just ends up being that well,
I mean, it's just the NFL. I mean, it's it's kind
of like the same players that you'regonna run out there. You're gonna try
it out there every week, andjust the matchups change. But one interesting
thing I want to do or justeven in this game, what is the
top who are the top five playersin order? So who is the number

(01:18:10):
one fantasy producer in this game?Dak Dak Absolutely, yeah, okay,
I guess you got to put quarterbacksin there. In a different category.
So okay, okay, Gino,you would play Dak over Gino for sure?

(01:18:34):
Oh, absolutely absolutely. I'm talkingabout the number one the skill positions.
Okay, I'm CD absolutely number one. Yeah, yeah, all right,
who's the second? Who's if youhad if you had all the fantasy
players in this game, who wouldyou try to make sure? Okay,

(01:19:00):
just come off the top of yourhead, just now, like it players
in this game. All right,I'm going CD. I'm going CD.
Pollard's on a bit of a heater, so I'm gonna go Pollard. Yes,
your number two, okay, numbertwo, number two. I'm gonna
go fur Delicious too. He's gonnabe number three. Fergus three day.

(01:19:27):
You ain't even touching Seattle. Look, I'm scared of Gino's scared of them
three cowboys, right, including thathe remembered all four cowboys right out the
gate. We know where your yourthoughts? Lie, who's going with this
game? Yeah? Then I wouldgo d K and then I'll go Tyler.

(01:19:49):
That would be your fifth. Okay. Yeah, And it's funny because
I don't have any pieces of those. The only person that have a piece
of is the person I didn't mention, which is pretty fucking funny. Oh
man, I just if even whenDina was healthy, the last few weeks,

(01:20:12):
it's just been like, dude,this is not the Geno that I
wanted that was here last year.Yeah, he we've we've talked about it
before. He's back in New YorkJets GINO like cool, Yeah, he
got the bag. Another another instancegot the bag last I remember saying that
he's back to the New York Jets. Gino. Yeah, and he must

(01:20:38):
stript back and visited a friend inNew Jersey and he got all of that
stank back on him because he's playinglike it. Oh yeah, my top
Bob, same as yours, exceptmy order is a little different. CD.
Yep uh. You said Paulard's onthe heater. Maybe a heater for

(01:21:00):
what he's been doing all year,ride the wave type of deal. I
got the player, but I wantto in a perfect world say DK second.
But I guess I do gotta goPollar because if if Kenneth Walker was
in this game, he would bemy second pick. But he's not in

(01:21:24):
this kick. I guess I dogotta go Pallar, not going Fergie third,
DK third, Lockett's fourth and thenFergie, I would go with the
fifth pick because yeah, there's notight ends in Seattle or anything. Charbonnay,
I don't really have the confidence ifGina was healthy, I Fergie,

(01:21:48):
if Diina was healthy, are rone through five would be the exact same,
but with him not And and justhow does ferg I think it's a
lot of attention, man, Yeah, something about Dallas and tight ends.
They really fucking well. Dak loveshim always. I mean even from Witting

(01:22:10):
to Schultz to Fergie. I meanhe loves his tight end. Yeah,
yeah, I like that game thatneeds to be a bit of a mainstayer.
I like that. Yeah, thetop five players in the game,
Like if you knew if you hadthose five players or in the order of
amount of Fantasy points, you're thinkingthey're gonna score. First, we talk

(01:22:32):
about the quarterback, who which quarterbackover which quarterback? And then you know
skills players, Who's who's won twoa Thursday game? Oh damn, that's
oh god, damn, that sucks. We didn't do it all year.
Man. That's really good, allgood, all good. So that's pretty
much. Yeah, yeah, we'rethirteen. See you ripped off, eh,

(01:22:58):
straight this motherfucker was one in three, ripped off eight straight and it
is now nine and three. Youlike the Denver broncos of the ship.
I'm the Tike third killers of theship. You the broncos of the ship
where you and I'm I'm playing yourcousin this week, and I played the
boy on week week fourteen. SoI just hope my cousin don't somehow get

(01:23:24):
in like I hate a dead playersomehow playing in the playoffs. That would
be just well, I will Iwill say this, if there is any
universe where that's happening, he willbe moved down the slide. That's not
happening. Dumb. Yeah, yousaid you you should have already known that
that was not letting that happen.I didn't know you had the ability to

(01:23:45):
pull him out of the playoffs oranything. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
yeah. I'm I'm, I'm,I'm, I'm I'm kind of the Demi
god over here. But I meanright now, I mean, look,
I'm gonna dish him a fucking beatdown this week. So that's gonna pretty
much put him, you know,tu du Lou. I mean he's an

(01:24:10):
eighth Yeah, I mean, II don't see him. Yeah, but
yeah, I can definitely adjust thatif need be. Not a worry.
Yeah, so I will probably geta stand in for you tomorrow. It's

(01:24:30):
either gonna be Bob or the wife, So we'll do the ex's news tomorrow.
You know, ideally can get backon track next Wednesday. But I
know you got some shit going on, so I appreciate you letting me know.
Sincerely. Thank you. I alwaysappreciate. I always appreciate the heads
up as soon as you can getit to me. It helps immensely,

(01:24:54):
just so I'm able to plan accordingly. Say thank you very much for that.
But yeah, Saturday, we'll beon here and a bit of a
new format could be more fun,actually get that excitement brewing again. And
I don't know, Yeah you arelike I said, you brought up a
good point of just not really goingthrough the emotions. But it's like not

(01:25:17):
saying anything different, just different peopleagainst the other, different people. So
yeah, I mean, actually dosomething. It was like I felt like
we were the Madden game. Iknow we're doing football, but we don't
have to be like EA Sports andbe mad. It felt like from Madden,
you know, two thousand and twentyto twenty three were we were coming

(01:25:40):
out with the same game and weonly changed the rosters a little bit.
Well, you know, the onething and I'll ended on this. The
one thing I think that we lostin the journey here is we forgot what
we used to actually do. Likehow me and you used to actually conversate
about this and we're now just kindof being more informative instead of like we

(01:26:05):
used to kind of talk about likethe little hidden, little players, a
little sleepers, little ideas, wouldyou play this guy? This guy?
Like, we stop doing that,And that whole point of this whole thing
is do it was like schedule whenwe was running it down and making sure
we covered everything wanted, you know, so instead of just kind of improving

(01:26:26):
you know, you know our biggestyou know, attribute or asset, what
is the improvisation? So yeah,we try to put too much around ourselves.
We kind of come pull produce assomething you know that isn't us,
and it becomes dull. Right.I mean, we're still going to cover
the games. We're not going totalk about the yellsile We'll talk about you
know, hey, so this game, in this game, would you would

(01:26:49):
you play Tyler boyd uh in thissituation over whatever Pepsi bottle. Yeah,
probably not because Tyler Boyd two playerswith kind of like the similar yeah,
similar projections, and like which oneyou feel better at with the better matchup

(01:27:10):
and you know, just right yeahyeah. And then next week on they
on the Tuesday Show, we're gonnastart bringing up because we didn't do it
this time because we just kind ofwent down a rabbit hole. But uh,
you know, get you ready forplay get you ready for your playoffs
and stuff. But we're gonna startdoing I'm gonna do three waiver waiver wire

(01:27:31):
ads or waiver wire Sweethearts in thedeeper leagues, and Jermaine is going to
do three waiver wire Sweethearts in aconventional league. So and we're gonna comment
on each other's things and yet that'llbe the Tuesday format. And plus we
got this new top five player game, which is The fucking Tits. I

(01:27:53):
enjoy that very much. That's Ilike that. And I'm so wishing I
had a time machine because would loveto do that from the beginning of the
year. But now we know fornext year, there we go got some
got some things. So our kids. It's twelve thirty. I'm gonna go
masturbate. I think I'm gonna dothe same thing. Maybe we can stay

(01:28:15):
on stream and like football is,you do see how like mas is going
higher than yours. So all right, we're ending there. Goodbye,
