Episode Transcript

(00:03):
It's time for the fantasy football guys. Two guys who have just the right
amount of athletic ability for fantasy footballthe older we get here. They are
Lyle Conkel and Kevin Moore, thefantasy football guys. Yeah, that's right.
Where the fantasy football guys. Kevinoh Ile and I am the new

(00:31):
crowned champion of the TFFG Dynasty League. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. First
year guy comes in, takes overa team. Next thing, you know,
I use it. I don't giveit o'clock. I could tell by
your roster you didn't give it.Wow, Now my fault. I made

(00:52):
a bad trade for Russell Wilson.Yeah, actually it is. It is
your fault. You and the Broncoshave that in common. Oh, I'm
gonna be gonna be that kind ofshow. Whatever. Sorry, I'll be
back next year. Baby. Yeah. I'm like, I'm like the Cowboys.
Next year is my year. Yeah? You them boys? We them

(01:15):
boys. That's right? Uh soYeah, A lot going on? By
that, I mean not a lotgoing on. I want to open the
show by saying, what hold on? I got to just address it?
Yeah I do, Okay, Uh, the the the whole thing that happened
with the Lions. Uh, Dallascame, you have to address it,

(01:38):
man. So first of all,I want to just tell Cowboys fans,
it's not your fault. You don'tdeserve the hate for this. In fact,
the drive before that, there wasa tripping call on the Cowboys that
was non existent. It should actuallybeen called on the on the Lion player.
It should have been on Hutchinson,Yeah, for sure. But that

(02:05):
call at the end of the gameis the most egregious referee mistake I have
ever seen in my entire life.And everybody that's trying to apologize for it,
and the NFL coming out talking aboutthe players responsibility, all of this
stuff is bs. It is theguy reported. They announced it wrong.

(02:28):
The NFL has basically admitted this bydemoting the crew aff playoffs. They will
not do playoff games now. Wellthat being said, though, there are
going to be doing the the firstgame this weekend, the Steelers Ravens game.
I think, so they're still goingto be on national TV. Well,
you know what, every NFL gameis National TV. Well, yeah,

(02:50):
but it's immediately game on at thetime. I'm just saying this was
also the crew and this this ishow This is how genuine I am about
this. Okay, this was alsothe crew that was at the Eagles Dolphins
game where the Dolphins had like twelvepenalties or something and the Eagles had none

(03:12):
or twenty or something. Els hadnone in prime time, and we know
that's not true. Yeah, ofcourse, it's impossible to not have a
penalty. It's just ridiculous. Andif I was a Lions fan, I
would be devastated because people don't rememberthis part. And this is the part

(03:37):
that really bothers me. When wasthe last time the Lions were in the
playoffs? Do you know? Kevinteenthree? Incorrect? It was twenty fifteen.
Oh, the last time they hosteda playoff game was nineteen ninety three.
Twenty fifteen. They played guess whoCowboys? The Dallas Cowboys. They
were in Dallas and at the endof the game, they were driving and

(04:00):
there was a totally obvious mugging pastinterference call. Right the guy never turned
his head, but he went rightfor the for the Lion players, he
went right through him. The restthrough a flag and guess what they did
after picked it up? They pickedit up. Lions, you gotta be
furious. You gotta be. Thisis not the NFL. I want to

(04:25):
watch the major Major League Baseball madean adjustment. They got they got technology
involved. We need to do thathere in the NFL. I don't know
that it would have affected display necessarily, but when you have a game defining

(04:46):
play, that's that's called back fora a very minor This wasn't holding,
it wasn't past interference. It wasthe guy didn't report, uh, but
there's evidence that he did. Hedid report. He walked up to the
ref, the ref nodded right,and the guy that they actually number right,

(05:10):
and the guy that's number they announcedwasn't even in that group of three
guys. He was still running upYeah, correct, and he lined up
correctly in a legitimate formation as atight end. It's so stupid and it
makes me crazy. And if Iwas a Lions fan, I'd be losing
my mind right now. And ifthey end up having to go to Dallas

(05:32):
for some reason in this playoff thing, dude, I mean the fixes in
how do you how do you perceiveit any other way? And this is
not me hating Dallas again, Dallasfans, you should be mad too,
because if I mean, if ifnot for a reckless throw from from Dak

(05:53):
that you know, first and twentyfive and all, that'sff like, it
could have cost you the game.The crew needs to go, The referees
need to go, the whole thingneeds to change. I'm sorry, I'm
out to take that even further beforethe game. Uh, if there's any
trick plays you're kind of playing on, right, right, you sit down

(06:14):
with the referee with the like thecrew and explain what you're gonna do,
and you draw it out and say, this is the guy that's going to
be eligible, well and can't we'lltalk to him, right. Apparently the
head referee, dude, I can'tremember what his name is, wasn't in
that meeting. I don't know ifhe should have been, but he wasn't.
So here's what I'll say. Thestate and dude, the NFL is

(06:35):
going to come out just like RogerGoodell did last year and say I think
the officiating has never been better.Well, you know what, man,
we we as Americans are tired.We're we're exhausted with with bs on the
news, with blatant stuff that weknow is not true. Be tried to

(07:00):
be force fed down our throats.We're getting a lot of it lately.
We will deal with it when itcomes to politics because we don't care as
much about how the country works orhow the world works, But when it
comes to NFL football, sir,we will not tolerate this. I'm sorry.
Is this where we draw the line? Did I see a soapbox be

(07:23):
putting down? Just saying listen,in two thousand and one when the terror
restructed towers, where they really screwedup? Was they suspended football those bastards.
No, I'm just I'm not.That's not a nine to eleven joke.

(07:44):
I'm not saying that. But seriously, man, we can't tolerate this.
As fans, we can't. Well, the thing is is we bitch
about it, but we're right thereon Sunday with our eyes glued to the
screen. I mean, and weprobably always will, and the NFL will
still continue to progress, but Ifear that it might go the way of
the NHL rather than continue to progressbecause of this kind of nonsense. People

(08:13):
with college football are tired of theplayoff system already. You know, it's
it's just everybody can see it.Yeah, and when you have ten cameras
showing every angle of a play.You know, Yeah, that was clearly
the wrong call. Yes, theLions want the Lions took the lead in

(08:33):
that game with twenty four seconds left. Give Dack the ball and a chance
to score a field goal. Maybehe does, maybe he doesn't, But
the Lions scored. Now, DanCampbell's an idiot. He should have kicked
the ball after that, right,Well he got to you know, he
got that second chance and still ranto play. It didn't make it,

(08:56):
but Michael Parsons was offside. Itaw at that point you have to go,
Okay, the football guys are tellingme to get the extra point,
take some momentum into overtime. Righthe did not, So I'm just saying,
yeah, it was egregious. Ibitched about the rest. And it's
not about the Cowboys, I promiseyou guys it's not. It's not.

(09:16):
It's about football. Well, it'sabout officia. It's about the integrity of
the game that we love and we'vebeen bitching about it for nineteen years now.
If I lose a game far andsquare, I'm mad, I'm but
hurt, I'm angry, I hatethe other team. Fine, but I
can accept that. What I can'taccept is the zebra is stepping in and

(09:41):
choosing who wins a game. Icannot accept that. Yeah, whether they're
actually doing it, you know,with directions from the league office or not.
You know, I really hope that'snot the case. But by their
actions, they are making the choiceof Okay, well that team win ahead,
but we're going to throw a flagand say nobody he didn't report even

(10:03):
though he did. You know,you know what, let's go back to
the tape and see if the guyactually walked up to me. Let's you
know, but this not reviewable.So yeah, it's it's crazy, and
you know that that mistake. Yeah, well, yeah, we have the
technology to we don't need to measurefirst downs by chains. We have the
technology. We know where a puckis on on ice when it's going one

(10:28):
hundred miles an hour. Okay,we know how far the ball got.
We don't need chains and people runningout there and all that kind of stuff.
We don't. It's bananas. Well, you know, I like tradition
just as much as the next guy, but I also like technology, probably
more than the next guy. Unlessyou two guys are the next guy.
I want I want. I wantit to be one I wanted to be

(10:52):
called, right. I don't careif it takes an extra fifteen minutes for
a game to happen. I wantthe call to be correct. Same,
there we go. That's all Iwant. And and I don't care whose
team it affects. I really don't. Well, it's going to even out,
you know, it's going to It'sgoing to affect every team evenly because
it's the correct call. That's allI want. I just want the game

(11:18):
to be played the way the gameis supposed to be played. The guy
lined up as a tight end.He reported he caught a pass. It
was a two point conversion. TheLions should have had the lead with twenty
whatever it was, Yeah, somethinglike that, Right, That's that's the
way the game should have gone.But the Zebras intervened, And I don't

(11:39):
think that's fair, particularly against anorganization that has had so little success.
You could even you could even describethem as woeful. Dude, it's just
not fair. Right, they gota legitimate shot this year. Are they
going to go that far? Idon't know, but they should be a

(12:00):
higher seat than well, I'll tellyou what they have a chance to go
out farther if they're the two seed, right to be sure for sure?
All right, So you remember whatI said about being done in under an
hour, not gonna have that's outthe window now. Sorry, that's no
worries. Hey, you know,I I one agree to. I just

(12:22):
didn't know if we should address itbecause it's, you know, it's Wednesday,
that happened last weekend. Yeah,it's it's you know what it's it's
it's something that needs to be said, and if we have a whatever platform
we have, blah blah blah,it's got to be said. Man,
I'm sorry, No, you're you'reabsolutely one correct, royb you agree?
Yeah, all right, you guys. All right. So, uh,

(12:45):
that being said, we have alot to talk about. But the thing
we have to talk about the mostis the fact that every year we in
Week seventeen. In the last coupleof years, Week eighteen talk about fantasy
football like it's still a thing.Ninety nine of league maybe that high I
don't know, are done in Weekseventeen, as they should be, but
there are still leagues out there thatput Week eighteen in the mix. If

(13:07):
you're in such a league, youneed to either fire the commission, change
that shit up, or quit theleague and go somewhere else, because I
was about to say the same thingWeek eighteen. Fantasy football is ridiculous.
It's bs. If it's not daily, you shouldn't be doing it. Well,
yeah, you know, there's fivesix quarterbacks that aren't playing this week,

(13:30):
which completely ruins their team's fantasy valuefor sure. You know. Now
there's gonna be plenty of other guysplaying. But you know, if you
have for some reason, Matt staffordas who's starting quarterbacks, Sorry, you
got to pick up Carson Wentz.Now, if you're a Lamar Jackson stakeholder,
sorry it's Huntley this Saturday. Youknow. And one of the things

(13:54):
I want to talk about is thefact that there's a lot of guys who
are for bonuses this week. OdellBeckham Junior, check this out. If
he gets one hundred and eighty fiveyards this weekend, he gets seven hundred
and fifty K bonus. If he'snot forget that, if he catches five
passes, he gets two hundred andfifty K. And if for some reason
he can score two touchdowns, Duke, it's half a mill. So just

(14:18):
this weekend, just this Saturday.Odell Beckham could make a million and a
half dollars and he's got Tyler Huntleythrowing him the rock. It's not fair.
Hey, feeling how you feeling?Odell feeling pretty good? I wouldn't.
He doesn't need the money, Well, yeah, everybody needs a spare
mill and a half. Come on, but I want it. Yeah,
you know what. I don't needthe money either, But if somebody handed

(14:39):
me a thousand bucks, I'd takeit. keV. All you have to
do is go get the mail giveyou a thousand dollars. All right,
let's go. Let me hit thatmailbox in a g string. Well,
there's a parade going down the road, bitch. For one thousand dollars,
three thousand. I joined the parade. You're there, you're a mummer.

(15:03):
Wow, what the hell? Wevisited some coaching potential coaching changes early in
the year, but as we're closerto the end now, I think we
could take a quick look at itand kind of actually, you know,
kind of zero win on a fewdudes who I think are probably out.
Let's talk about the Atlanta Falcons andArthur Smith. I think Arthur Blank,

(15:26):
the owner of the team is readyto move on thoughts good? No good?
Yeah, I agree. Yeah,they've had the same draft position more
or less for the past three years. They've not improved at all. The
division is gotten worse around them.So they've been competitive in the division,
but they're not a better team,even though they have like they're one of
the more talented offenses. Well,let's talk about those of those offensive first

(15:50):
round picks. Kyle Pitts, he'sbasically Jack Right should be great. Drake
London should be great, isn't beJohn Robinson is great but is not utilized.
Yeah, performed by a fifth roundright. And you know there's more.
I mean, those are just theguys that come to the top of
mind. But yeah, clearly theoffense has has got to move on.

(16:12):
So I don't think it would beany shock if he's out the door on
Monday. Correct, Correct, Sowe know the Panthers need a head coach.
They got rid of Frank Reich.My problem with that team is who
was going to go work for dataTEPA. I wouldn't work for him.
So listen, we talked about thisbefore. A head coach coaching job in

(16:34):
the NFL. There are thirty twoin the world. So somebody's going to
take that gig. Sure, here'sthe problem. It's like the president of
the United States. Okay, thereit is analogous. Here's why the person
that would take that job, youdon't want to take that job. That's
right. It's not going to doa good job coming in there. Like

(16:56):
like the president should be like mad, super serious, like very smart scientist
or something right, like like somebodyor a military strategist or a or a
political science professor, you know,yeah, somebody who knows what they're doing
clearly. Yeah, somebody who knowswhat they're doing clearly in the NFL is

(17:21):
not taking that gig. They're workingfor a different organization. Yeah. I
mean, I can think of alot of people i'd want to be the
president. None of them would wantto do it. No, And then
that's the problem with the presidency.It's a popularity contest, not a contest
about who should be president. Yeah. I think that the presidency and this

(17:42):
is we're getting off topic here.The presidencyeat should be an obligation of citizenship
and you don't get an option andother people nominate you and go. Sorry,
Neil de Grass Tyson, you shouldbe president. No, not not
that jerk. Sorry, I'm justsaying, for example, yeah, okay,

(18:06):
somebody who clearly doesn't want it.Who but it is super smarter whatever.
Sure not somebody who's got a bunchof money and you know, a
makeup crew. Sure, same thingfor the NFL. Same thing. You
should be hired by your merits,and most of those people are. The

(18:30):
thing is, man, anybody who'squalified, it's not applying for for this
for that job. Well, thegood news is is you've got a good
young quarterback who showed some flashes thisyear. Ye. Now your owner is
a bit of a liquid throwing jerkwho's three hundred dollars three hundred thousand dollars
poor today for his antics. You'reworried about that? I assume I did.

(18:52):
Yeah. So anyway, they're talkingabout you know, Ben Johnson,
Lions offensive coordinator, is a bigname this offseason. So you should definitely
do it. Go, get paidand be fired in a year. Hopefully
not with the Panthers. Probably themost attractive job out there right now is
the Chargers because justin Herbert's there,It's in Los Angeles, and from what

(19:14):
I understand, the weather is fantasticin southern California, and there's no better
place to be rich and an NFLcoach who everybody wants at their party than
in Los Angeles. I don't know, man, You get the rub belt
in Ohio, and well, yeah, spending power is like way higher.
It certainly is, and your taxesare way lower. But the thing is,
you're not gonna be able to rubelbows with Hollywood superstars and you know,

(19:37):
musicians, and so you want thatguy's your NFL coach? Probably not,
but you know you're gonna get likethis might be the issue with California.
I'm gonna disagree with you here.I mean, the Chargers do have
Justin Herbert, but the rest ofthat team is real old they are,
and it's it's a rebuilding process,of course. I honestly think if I'm

(20:00):
a head coach and I can't pickany position or any job I want to
go to, I might pick theFalcons if they can, if they draft
a quarterback at nine, which theyshould. I liked that a lot better
than what the Truger's got A gooddefense. Not a believer in Rinter,
oh I believe, just not thathe can run an NFL offense. So

(20:22):
anyway, for allegedly hardball from Michiganreally wants this job badly, and so
we'll see how that works out.Cool. Yeah, yeah, he should
get it. Well, maybe he'llwin the national championship and we'll see.
Man, that was a great gamethe other day. It was and you
know what, I can't wait tosee which team gets gets Panics from Washington.

(20:45):
That guy is amazing. He couldthrow that football through a fleas acid
fifty yards. Just watch watching thatgame the other night against Oh yeah,
what I thought was, dude,that's Peyton Manning. Look like Peyton Manning.
To me, he did a littlelittle more fleet of foot than Peyton.

(21:07):
Of course that's not hard to do. Well, I mean, you
know, yeah that's true. Butyeah, just the way he can throw
the ball just amazing. And I'mlooking at the list of quarterback prospects and
he's like twelve on the list.I'm like, come on, but you
know, the combine is going tohappen and he's going to do all his
throws and he'll be drafted in thetop fifteen. We've seen we've seen it.

(21:33):
But you know, from his fromhis perspective, draft me late in
the first because then I'm going toa better team. That's what happened to
Aaron Rodgers. Yeah it did soanyway, another team that actually from from
all indications, this it was fromthe Washington Post. This article is basically
saying that they talked to this writer, talked to gms around the league,

(21:55):
and that Bill Belichick has been outof New England. The decision has been
made for weeks now. And notonly is he out as coach, but
he's also out as GM. SoNew England's gonna be looking for a couple
spots to fill this this year.I think that's probably a mistake on there
for but I get it. Andalso, you know, this article states

(22:15):
and when I get done, I'llgive the writer a prop, but that
basically he's gonna have a hard timefinding a coaching gig in the NFL because
he's used to be in the GM. He picks, you know, he
shops for the groceries and makes dinner, and you know, he may get
a front office job somewhere, buthe may be done as a coach.

(22:37):
That actually makes sense, I mean, honestly, like that's his identity.
Oh, this is Jason lockhanfora,which I've had some issues with his reporting
in the past, but apparently,you know, he he's got the inside
track. But so I'd be surprisedif they boot him completely. What I

(22:57):
would expect is that he chose tostep down quote unquote, kick him upstairs
maybe, or maybe he's like,hey, listen, my tenure at at
New England is done, I'm gonnago explore other opportunities or whatever. Oh,
they'll give him the opportunity to,you know, allegedly publicly leave on

(23:18):
his own terms. He's earned thatfor sure. Well here's the thing,
though, if he leaves on hisown terms, he doesn't get paid.
If they fire him, they stillowe him money. They can do all
that stuff behind the scenes. Yeah, I mean, you know what the
truth is and what they tell us. I mean, you know, if
it's on the news, it's gotto be true. It's on the internet
and it's printed right. Yeah,So yeah, I mean I don't see

(23:41):
him. Plus, not only that, but you know Bill's got a boatload
of money. You know, he'slike and it's full of money commands.
It's also pretty much cal hum knowledgethat Ron Rivera has known that he's he's
been out for a while, newownership, team's not doing great, blah

(24:02):
blah blah blah blah. So Ialso think this one's a mistake letting Rivera
go. Yeah. I don't thinkhe's a terrible coach. I think they
should give him another year to likesettle in. I think Sam House got
some potential. I think that theyhave some pieces there. I think,

(24:25):
you know, the GM traded somepretty valuable defensive assets. Yeah, like
what, Well, the guy whobought the team, Josh Harris, doesn't
have a GM at this moment.I don't think or I think he cut
him loose. But anyways, wellthen he traded him. Whatever. The
point is, like, you canonly do as much as the people that

(24:48):
you have, and they don't havea very good team. They just don't.
So I don't think you can blamethe coach for that. You can't
really. I mean, you know, the general manager puts the team in
the locker room and the coach putsthe team on the field. So I
don't know, it's it's it's Ithink it's more than possible. I don't

(25:08):
think it's going to be he's fired. I think we know, we decided
to part ways Chicago with the firstoverall pick via the Carolina Panthers. Reading
this article, apparently Matt eber Flusewith the weirdest name and coaching, has

(25:29):
had a better second half. ButI think they're looking to cut loose from
Justin Fields and probably bringing Caleb Williamsthat or Where Daniels from LSU whatever.
But also I watched the replay ofthe of the the USC Bowl that they
were in. I wasn't that impressed, to be honest with you, I

(25:52):
wasn't that impressed. But you know, it's obviously he's got skills. But
they're going to start all over againwith new quarterback, and you know,
maybe Justin Fields goes to Atlanta.We'll see. Don't know what eber Fliss's
deal is. I mean, maybeif they bring in another quarterback because they
did so well, you know,bringing Fields along. Yeah, that's why

(26:12):
I'm thinking, if anything, itmakes sense to get a new coach and
keep Fields right, use the firstoverall pick or trade back with someone else
is gonna want sure or or takethat's what they did last year, or
take Harrison. Yeah, you know, get yourself the best receiver to come

(26:33):
out of college. In years.Yeah, I mean, they had the
number one pick last year, tradeit back. Now they have two this
year. They could do the samething again, still have two top ten
picks. Here's a crazy idea,Why don't you get some offensive linemen?
Yeah, what I'm just saying tryingto be wacky. The Raiders could promote

(26:56):
Antonio Pierce to head coach as opposedto interim head coach, but they have
a tendency to not do that togood coaches. Look what they did last
time. They got rid of Grudenmid season. They made the playoffs with
their interhum head coach and summarily dismissedhim and brought in Josh McDaniel. That
worked out well, didn't it anyway? To see? I think, what

(27:17):
do you guys think about the Saintsand coach Dennis Allen? Eh? And
I think we were suffering from thesame thing. They're just not that talented.
They're an average football team and they'veoverachieved in my opinion. Right,
Derek Carr has been mid at best, and Dennis Allen probably didn't have anything

(27:41):
to do with that dude being broughtin. That was all the GM.
So listen, you gotta give theif you're gonna blame the coach, you
gotta give him credit to sure.So, one of the GMS at locking
for a interview said that he thinksthey'd hire John Grudin if the league would
let him ge away with it thatRoger Goodell was pissed off by the fact

(28:03):
that they hired him as a consultant. Oh, you're selling them. It's
kind of difficult to to justify that. Yeah, here, here's here's your
contract from the place you're sealing.There's also some some speculation and maybe Todd
Bowles will be out of uh willbe out of Tampa. Mm hmmm.

(28:25):
I think that's I mean, listen, they've overachieved as well. I don't
know, what are they? Eightand seven? That's overachieving. Yeah,
that's overachieving for that team. Expectationsthat you have for that team. I
had zero expectations when Baker was starting. So let me ask you this.

(28:48):
If the Cowboys go one and doneor they don't get past the divisional round
again, you think McCarthy's out,and you think they bring Dan Quinn up
to the front office. I thinkthey stick with Mike. I do.
I think so, I do.They've had a good season. Yeah,
they don't want good seasons, theywant rings. But I think they I

(29:10):
think they're better this year than theywere last year and the year before.
But if they can't get past thathump, what does it matter an MVP
candidate At one point? I mean, listen, Mike McCarthy is terrible at
clock management. Still somehow he heis not the best disciplinarian that they still

(29:37):
make a lot of mistakes personally,But if you look at their record,
if they win the NFC East,which they're probably gonna do, well,
if they lose to the Commanders,he should be fired on the spot,
right on the sidelines. Well,I don't know, because they're going to
the playoffs. That won't happen.But well, Quinn can just come down
from the booth and yeah, Idon't I would. I would be shocked

(29:59):
if they they move on. Jerry'snot one to make rash decisions unless you
totally I mean he had Jason Garrettfor how long? I mean, this
is this a guy who fired JimmyJohnson after a Super Bowl win, right
because that guy totally defied him?And how is how has that gone for
them? Since then? They wonone with Barry Switzer right with Jimmy State

(30:22):
because they had the best roster infootball, and then the NFL STU did
free agency free agency, and howhas that gone for them since then?
Having gotten to the NFC Championships sinceYeah, they get smoked. So they're
smoked this year. So honestly,I really hope that the Jones continues to

(30:45):
live and be the general manager.I hope they keep Mike McCarthy with his
bad clock management and and uh playcalling, which has been a little better
this year to be fair, allright, enough about uh dude from Buffalo
kind of the same situation. Ithink that's probably a little more likely.

(31:10):
They bounced back though, I meanthey have. They have bounced back,
and they've been better, and theyactually have a chance to I think this
is the most beatable the AFC hasbeen in a while. You know,
Buffalo can can if they win,they clinch the AFC East Division title.
Yeah, they's a number two seed, right, I think they can.
They can definitely beat Baltimore. Wellthey're not playing Baltimore, I know,

(31:33):
but just in general, like it'svery possible that I think Buffalo is a
team that could could beat any teamby thirty or could lose to any team
by thirty. Yeah, listen,I would love to see the Bills.
I really would, just so theyshut up about it. I grew up
in the nineties. Yeah, sothree like they just they just lost every

(31:57):
year. And they were great.They were they were unbeatable. They were
great for the first eighteen games ofthe season. Yeah, they get to
that night. They could not getpast the Super Bowl, and uh so
I would love to see it,but I don't see it. I think
the Ravens are a lock in theAFC for the Super Bowl. One of

(32:19):
my favorite scenes in The X Fileswas Cigarette Smoking Man. They were talking
about the Buffalo Bills. He said, They'll never win the championship as long
as I'm alive. Apparently Cigarette SmokingMan still alive and kicking now. Robbie
doesn't get that reference, but Idon't. Yeah, it's a great,
great TV show from the eighties.Yeah, there was a guy he was

(32:42):
like a smokes cigarettes. Yeah,he smokes cigarettes, and it was all
about conspiracy. So apparently the Billsare part of that. Yeah, apparently
this guy was. It does listen. They had a great team back then.
They they have a good team now. They're not that good. I
don't think they can get past theRavens. I think the Ravens are the

(33:04):
class of the AFC and honestly theNFL. You know, any team can
be beat. But we'll see.And that's what makes it fun because otherwise
you just put them in the superBowl and you know, who cares what
happens in the other games. Soanyway, so a few teams have some
implications this week in the games theyplay. Steelers traveling to Baltimore to take
on Tyler Huntley and the Baltimore Ravens. I have no idea, you know,

(33:30):
if anybody else is getting sat youknow, if Hill and Edwards will
be out whatever, not, surewe'll have Sea, but clearly they don't
want Lamar to get hurt. Solet's see if Pittsburgh wins somehow, and
they might because they're not taking onstarting quarterback. If Pittsburgh wins, they

(33:51):
need some help. They neither needBuffalo to lose, Jacksonville to lose or
tie, or Houston and Indy totie, which ain't gonna happen. So
if Pittsburgh ties, Jacksonville loses inHouston and Indianapolis doesn't end in a tie
they're in, and there's other scenarios. Jacksonville lost, Denver win, Houston,
Indianapolis don't tie, whatever, SoPittsburgh has some shots, but they

(34:13):
need to win and then they needhelp. So from the Steelers side,
I would still play Nause and JalenDeontay Johnson, George Pickens and Pat Freremouth.
Any disagreements. Do I miss anybodyanybody like Alan Robbinson this weekend?
Nope. From the Ravens side,I don't know gust and Justice if they're
in Odell because he's trying to makea million and a half. Zay,

(34:37):
of course i'd play him, justbecause Tyler's is gonna have to throw somebody,
maybe Isaiah likely, But honestly,the fact that Lamar Jackson's in there
just drags this entire offense down.Correct, Texans Colts, if you have
to play any of these people,you're not in your championship game. Do

(34:57):
you want to tell you other playoffscenarios? Sure? So Andy can clinch
the division if they win in Jacksonvilleloses or ties, or were they tie
in Jacksonville loses, they can justgo to the playoffs if they win,
So they win and they're in somewhereand they're playing Houston. Right. Yeah,
So if Houston wins and Jacksonville loses, then they clinch the division.

(35:20):
If they win and Jacksonville loses orpitt loses or ties, they clinch a
playoff, a wild card birth goodgod. Yeah, here's what I'll say.
Play EJ if you have him andyou've been rolling them. Same thing
for single Dary. He had eightyyards last week. Love Nico, go
ahead and rock him. Noah Brownstill questionable. Would love to see him

(35:40):
in there if he is maybe theflex Schultz obviously as a te he's more
than a guy from the Colt side. It's Pittman Taylor. He's not gonna
play minshew. He has one touchdownin his last two games. Wow,
you know, like the guy lovehis mustache. Uh not necessarily his fantasy

(36:02):
value and I'm out like I'm notgonna spend a lot of time. Yeah,
I got you, Yeah, neitherof mine. A couple couple of
situations. Oh, Singletary gets onehundred and sixty five yards, he gets
one hundred and twenty five thousand dollarsbonus. If Schultz catches four passes,
he gets a quarter million dollar bonus. If he catches two passes over that,
he gets half a million. Soif he catches six balls, he

(36:24):
gets seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. You know, you know he's all
up in that ear like yeo,bro, yeah yeah, CJ, CJ.
Just hit me distribute the rock.Brother. I'll take you out to
dinner wherever you want to go,get you the biggest steak in Texas,
which is a big damn just kidding. I wasn't gonna say nothing. I

(36:47):
go ahead. The Week eighteen quarterbackis the skilled player's best friend. At
this point, you bet all right. We got Bucks Panthers. I don't
think there's any playoff implication for theAnthers here, but I think there is
not. I think the Bucks needto win to be in at this point.
I think I'm wrong there. Idon't really see Tampa's situation here because

(37:12):
they're they're a head of the Saintsfor a division record, so they're currently
the number four seed. Oh wait, minue there, they're NFC. That's
true. I got to click overto that. So let's see Bucks so
they can clinch the South title witha win or New Orleans lost their tie.
They can clinch a wild card ifthey tie. Seattle loses and Green

(37:32):
Bay loses their tie, so theywin, and they're in basically pretty much
not playing anyone from the Panthers.Obviously they have no path to the playoffs.
Yeah, they're they're playing for pride, which might be enough. Sometimes
Week eighteen teams that are just playingfor nothing end up overperforming. I don't

(37:52):
see it happening this week though.Uh, Baker's fine QB two. But
if you're in a one correct league, I would say way, Mike Evan
obviously gonna play. God what itis, a flex Rashad White, You're
obviously gonna play. That's pretty muchit. Yeah. So if Davonte David
gets one sack, he gets onehundred and fifty thousand dollars bonus. Pretty
sweet. Yeah, who are theyplaying? Who are the Busters? Yeah?

(38:15):
There's no bonuses for the Panther right. Okay, so you got the
Browns who were locked in at thefive seats. You're gonna get Jeff Driscoll
instead of Joe Flacco. Uh,probably gonna see more Pierre Strong Junior than
you want to see, because they'reprobably not gonna play a whole lot of
Ford and Hunt probably see a lotof Cedric Tillman and David Bell. I
don't know whatever receivers because Cooper andyou know they're not gonna play. Uh,

(38:39):
David and Joko actually didn't practice todayeither, so from the Bengals side,
they're not playing for anything. Browning, I guess you could play him.
They're gonna be playing. I guess, uh, Mixing and brown play
brown at your own risk. Butof course mix is gonna be in there.
Don't now, hard these guys aregonna be going they want to win
the game, sure, but Idon't know if Chase is gonna get a

(39:00):
lot of action. Higgins, boy, this is the problem with Week eighteen
in fantasy football. You don't knowwho's gonna be playing. But if they're
up, you know, play theusual suspects on on the Cincinnati Bengals team.
And of course that does not includeBrowning. Right, you got Vikings
Lions, bro Nice, I don'tplayed Mellon. Chandler is kind of compelling.

(39:27):
Sometimes he does score a few touchdowns, So fine, gonna play jj
Al Wait, you know, Idon't know if he has contract things that
he could make money for him butwho's this justin Jefferson? He missed enough
games, he's probably not close tohis specials. The only player on this
in this game that has a bonuspending is Alexander Madison. If he gets

(39:49):
one hundred and twenty five rush yards, he gets six hundred and fifty K.
I wouldn't plan on that. Youmight need three games to so Farry
will Yeah. From the lion side. Uh, golf is always playable.
The running backs are always playable.Play I'm a rah. If you don't
play Samy Laporta, I'm gonna bemad at your face. Other than that,

(40:14):
I'm out yep. Twelve targets lastweek for samue Laporta caught seven.
I'm fraidy four. I love thisguy. I think he's the next Travis
Kelsey. Well we're back in likeweek one and I was like, God,
this Sam Laporta guy. Look outand you guys are both like,

(40:35):
eah, he's a row. Iwas like, you're right, Robby,
I love him too. I thinkyou don't know if you've ever said that
red flag I do. How aboutwe call it even since I put you
on to Sam Laporta. How aboutwe don't we pretend that you didn't.

(40:57):
All right Lyle has a venmo.You'll payment that way. I'm gonna send
you five hundred instances of one cent. I only take Turkish lira. I
can do that. I had someTurkish lear here that somebody sent us.
Remember that, like a decade ago, somebody sent us an Turkish lira,
A million dollars worth of Turkish lera. Yeah, it's like four dollars four

(41:22):
fifty. All right, we gotJets at Patriots. This is two teams
that have no playoff implications, playingwith the backups, back up. I
mean, I don't even know whatto say about this. I guess,
I guess play Bruce Hall, GarretWilson, zeke. That's it. That's

(41:47):
it. It might be an interestinggame because no one's playing for anything.
That's They're just gonna be out therehaving fun. Might be Bill Belichick's last
game as a Patriot, coaching asa Patriot. You know, mm hmm.
It'll be something. It will indeedbe something. Is that it?
That's it? Thank god? Allright? So the next game is the

(42:07):
Falcons in New Orleans. A coupleof implications here. If New Orleans they
can clinch the title. If theywin and Tampa Bay loses or ties,
they can also tie. If Tampaloses, they can just win a wild
card. If they win, Seattleloses or ties, plus Green Bay loses
or ties, they can also tietheir game if Seattle loses and Green Bay

(42:30):
loses and make it into the playoffsas a wild card. Atlanta clinches the
division title with a win and aTampa Bay loss. Those are the kind
of scenarios. I like, youwin, another team loses, that's it
either way. You're backing into theseplayoffs, both of you. But so
can you imagine like the Falcons couldmake the playoffs. This is the part

(42:53):
I love officials. Stop effing everythingup. I want to be excited.
I want to watch the seven seedtake on the two seed and just get
run, just out on a rail. I know it's the NFC, but
I'm excited about the Lions. Sure, I am, man. I want
them to make the dance. Iwant to see I want to see Baker

(43:14):
Mayfield playing playoff football. That's whatI want to say. Yeah, man,
that's what I'm about. He's gonnalook like a god. Yeah.
I don't want to see Bjeon Robinsonand get six garies for twenty four yards
in the playoffs. That's what Idon't want. That's why I don't.
I don't want the Falcons to makethe playoffs because if they do, they
might keep Arthur Smith at the headcoach. Okay, so if you have,

(43:35):
if you have some of these Falcons, play at your own risk.
Bjeon Drake Pitts. We talked aboutit earlier. It's it's Arthur Smith factor.
Anybody but that dude. These guysare playable every week. We'll see
from the same side. Kamara ofcourse, Lave, of course, Rashid
Shihed sure, uh, you know, the the lusters off the hill a

(43:59):
little bit. For as far asTaysom goes, I will tell you,
but this is his week to blowup, then yeah, sure put him
in twenty seven points guaranteed. Ifyou're playing daily, Taysom Hill would be
a weekly play for me for sure. And that's it for this game,
all right. I got a JagsTitans. Not a lot to love here.

(44:22):
Trevor Lawrence questionable with that shoulder ifhe does play, which you know
he's trending towards because it's has playoffimplications. All that kind of stuff.
What do you want? You want? You want? Three fumbles and two
touchdowns in the last two games,right, this is what he does.
Listen. He had that stretch eleven, twelve, thirteen weeks where he was

(44:45):
QB one, six and five.He was awesome. But since then he'd
been at QB eleven, twenty oneand twenty six. Yeah, as soon
as he said you liked him andthen it was off. Listen, those
are goaint some good defenses. Right, he was at Cleveland, he was
against Baltimore, and he was atTampa. But still this team has lost
four in a row before they playedCarolina last week and won twenty sixth month

(45:07):
without him. I don't know.I don't see it play at the end.
Sure play Ridley if you need to. Ingram fine. From the Titan
side, it's it's Henry and Hopkins. I'm out, all right. So
if Jacksonville wins, they win thedivision, they can tie with indian Houston

(45:30):
tying and get the division. Theycan also clinch a wild card spot if
they tie and Pitt loses or ties, or Pitt loses, Denver loses or
ties Houston Indianapolis doesn't end in atie, then Jacksonville walks in also and
a partridge in a parstree. Goodgod, DeAndre Hopkins can get one point
two five million dollars if he hasa seven catch forty nine yard day.

(45:54):
That's quite possible. They're definitely gonnado that. Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, you've heard stories aboutguys getting pulled out when they need
one more catch to click that milliondollars. Who of these organizations do that?
Bad organizations do that? Good organizationsgo, We've already alloted this money.

(46:14):
Google your money, Yeah, yep. And you know it kills the
locker room when you pull a guyoff the field in the middle of the
fourth quarter that he wants to playfor you, Yeah, exactly for sure.
All right, he came pay thatmean his money. That's a rounders

(46:35):
reference. Everybody is, yeah,you didn't get it? Yeah, all
right. We've got Seahawks at Cardinals. I think the Seahawks are playing for
something. I don't know if theirwild card is locked in yet. I
don't know if they can go fromlet's take a look from six to five
or now. They ain't gonna winthe division, but they can get in
as a wild card if they wingreen Bay loses or ties. If they

(46:58):
tie, green Bay lose, isin Tampa loses or ties, or if
they tie and green Bay loses andNew Orleans loses or ties. So they
need to win. Well, theyneed to win and they need Green Bay
to lose. See, well,then they'll they'll be playing for something.
Cardinals haven't been playing for anything sincelike Week three, So they played for

(47:20):
that ass weapon last week and gotit, Yes they did. I mean,
Gino has been mid all season,so you can expect mid here from
him. Kenneth Walker is going todo good things. Play him. All
the receivers are really the same kindof production, you know, twelve thirteen
points, so play them as youwill. From the Cardinals, Kyler's going

(47:45):
to do Kyler things. He's worthto start. Connor's pretty freaking good.
You're gonna start him. None ofthe receivers are really special. You look
like Walter Payton last week. Yeah, that one hitted catch was that was
really good. And then I'm gonnastart trade McBride. Obviously. I gotta
tell you why. Geno Smith isgoing to be motivated he wins and goes

(48:07):
to the playoffs. Geno Clock's twomill they're winning, that is, they're
winning. I think I remember hearingthis offseason when he signed this contract that
he backloaded a lot of the moneyfor this contract, where not like show
hey backloading, but yeah, backloading, Like he only gets paid if if

(48:30):
he does well, if the teamdoes well, Like so, if they
win and go to the playoffs anddo well, he gets more than if
he had just taken a normal contract, but if he sucks, he gets
less. Yeah, so good forhim. Yeah, I think like the
next three years he's got lots ofbonuses for like big like two million dollar
bonuses for making the playoffs, winthe division and things like that. U

(48:52):
two mil. I'm winning that game. Oh yeah, I put my body
on the line. I'm gonna dieout there, run block. Yeah,
I'm gonna die. Well you heardwhat now you hear what hey Otani did
with his contract? Right? No, So he's signed a seven hundred million
dollar contract for ten years to playwith the Dodgers, right, right,

(49:13):
So he's familiar with that part.Right. So he's going to be making
I don't know, two million dollarsa year, or maybe he's going to
be taking two million dollars a yearfor the ten years. The rest of
it's going to be paid out likeon the like after he retires. Probably
he's going to be getting the bulkof the money after his his career,

(49:35):
his after the ten year contract isup. It's like Bobby Beni's still making
two million dollars a year from theMets. So basically what basically it's it's
a it's a tax haven, rightbecause if you're living in La playing for
the Dodgers, you're playing those Californiataxes. When you retire, you go
back to home wherever that is.I mean, he's Japanese where they don't
have well sure, I'm just saying, but not California income tax. Yeah,

(50:00):
so he's gonna be paying less taxand you know he's going to be
in his quote unquote golden years bythat for baseball players, thirty seven thirty
seven, right, yeah, right, so yeah, that's great. So
but Gino didn't do it quite thatway. He did bet on himself and
it could be a two million dollarbet that he gets to cash in on.

(50:21):
I think I think justin Jordan Lovehas the same sort of thing.
Uh yeah, if he makes theplayoff, he gets five hundred k not
quite as sexy. But you know, I wouldn't say not to five on
him. That's a really nice necklace. Yeah it is. So you got
the Bears of the Packers, right, So the Bears really have nothing to
play for other than pride when justlosing a draft spot because they have their

(50:45):
draft spot, but they also havethe Panthers. They've locked in that number
one spot via Caro. But theyall where are they at their They're at
ten? Yeah they're at ten andoh wow? Right so I think,
yeah, they actually have won acouple of games. They have improved their
record considerably. When Justin Fields walkedoff the field last last week, the

(51:08):
crowd was chanting, you know,we won. Fields said, it made
him feel good. The draft pickcan't getting better than eight, right,
That's that's as high as they canget. But it can get worse.
Yeah it can. They should replacethe coaches, they should build an offensive
line. He is so talented,But I could be wrong. These are

(51:30):
the Bears. I went badly forhim to go somewhere else. Yeah,
well that's true. I mean Ithink him anywhere else would be really good,
So I would play him. Ofcourse. Khalil Herbert seems to have
since he's healthy, now take retakenthat top spot there, So I give
him a role, uh dj Orof course, Uh Cole Comet, of

(51:51):
course. UH would play that dude. From the packer's side, Jordan Love,
he's actually kind of seemed to haveseems to have settled into the spot.
Uh. I think I think he'sa weekly ago the last half of
the season, particularly the last fouror five games. Yeah, yeah,
exactly. So yeah for him.Aaron Jones is you know, defying all
odds and continuing to be really good. Uh, Dylan not so much.

(52:13):
It's like something happened to the guy. I don't know. Maybe who knows,
Maybe he's hurt twenty eight, thatcould be it. I would play
if Watson's up one. I heardhe practiced, Jayden Reed practiced. I
would play him as well. Dobbsof course, if he's up heard Wix
practiced. I mean, all theseyoung receivers are good. When they're all
up, you don't know which oneto take, dude. AJ Dillon is

(52:36):
twenty five, I'm so bad.No, no way, he's twenty five.
He's twenty five years old. No, he's still in his rookie contract.
I'm so bad. He seems likehe's like he's been around for No.
His legs are just big, that'swhat you're thinking. He was born
May second, nineteen ninety eighty twentyfive. Wow, he's your age drop.
Yeah. Uh so, which whichone of these receivers to play him?

(53:00):
What's that? I said? Istill think I'm faster than him.
You're not take a handoff? Yeahyou're not, dude. I would play
Reid. I would certainly play Dobbsthe other guys, you know, Watson.
I want to see him like behealthy on the field for a couple
of weeks. Uh. And that'sabout it. Green Bay can make the
playoffs. They can clinch a playoff'sbirth with a win. And there's a

(53:22):
bunch of other scenarios with Seattle losingand tying, Tampa losing and tying New
Orleans, Minnesota ossort tie, youknow, blah blah blah. So they
can basically they have If they win, they're in and they can back in
some other ways. That's that's allI got. Robbie A ran a four
or five, three, ran afour or five three? What does he

(53:46):
run now? He ran a fouror five? He ran a four five
three? Two years ago. Well, Robbie, you've never run a four,
you've never run seven. You're notYou're not faster. You're probably not
faster than the offensive lineman. That'sblocking for him. I read a four

(54:06):
seven in high school, did you? But I'll got you. That was
seven years ago. That's true.Quiet, What do you think you could
run? Now? Sub ten?Out of gas? Can you? Can
you run a sub seven? Canyou run a six something forty? Right
now? You wanna put money onthat? Yes? Like like tomorrow?

(54:30):
Yes? Oh, Kevin, Ismell a bet sub seven s seven you
guys seven point something? Yes,Oh, smell a bet, Kevin.
Hold on to your wallet, Rob, tell you what we can make this
happen. Tell you what. I'lltriple the bet if you eat twelve hot

(54:52):
dogs before you run? Is thatwith the bums? With my choice of
topics? That's with buns? Anyway? I got chiefs charters? Please don't
right, Mahomes isn't playing? Soare you gonna play on the chief side?

(55:13):
But checko? Maybe? Sure?Is Hechecko? Sure? I don't
know. I wouldn't play him.I'd play see news is he's playing?
I mean you know he probably won'tplay the whole game. I mean from
the charter side. Who do youplay Eckler? No, Well, I
will tell you this. If Ecklergets one hundred and ten yards, he
makes one hundred K bonus on theground or in the air. If he

(55:37):
needs one hundred and ten yards,it doesn't say maybe it's all purpose.
If it's on the ground, he'snot getting it. If it's both.
Last week he had fifty yards.Yeah. The week before that he had
eighty six. Before that he hadthirty eight. Sorry, Austin, the
money is going back to the team. Maybe Everett he gets a ton of

(55:59):
targets. In the past four games, he's had at least eight targets.
Last week he had nine. Maybehim. Yeah, I'm nowt hmm,
all right, I got Broncos Raiders. Let's see that's it. Let's see
what we have here for the Broncos. Can the Broncos make the playoffs?
Somehow? They're sitting there starting quarterback? Yeah, they don't care about making

(56:22):
the playoffs. I thought there wasa scenario. I guess not. Thank
god they want to see them inprimetime again. And who was the other
team? The Raiders? Raiders?Yeah, they have they had they had
a scenario going into this last weekendwhere they could have made it. But
yeah, so you got the PhiladelphiaEagles going to New York to play the

(56:43):
New York Giants. Uh, Giantsactually playing this game. Yeah, I
fully expect the Giants to win it. Tyrod has actually been decently good since
he came in for Devido in themiddle of the Eagles game. From the
Eagle side, yeah, I'm gonnaplay Hurts. I mean, you know,
they want to win, they wantto win the division, and they
have to win the game and hopethat the Commanders can help him out.

(57:06):
I'd play Hurts. I'd play Brown. If Smith is playing with that ankle,
I'd play him. If he's not, Dude, Julio Jones had two
touchdowns, I might consider that,dude, and I would certainly play Goddard.
What's that I said? Valid?Yeah? Yeah. From the Giants
side, I would roll Taylor againsthis defense. In fact, Barkley,
give me wan Dale Robinson, Iwould throw him into a flex. I

(57:29):
might throw Jalen Hyatt into a flex. In fact, if you have Darius
Slayton play that guy, Darren Waller, you bet you everybody they they can't
stop the Cardinals. They could barelystop the Giants the first time, and
they're worse now because they're in theirheads and in their fields. So I
would one hundred percent play every giantskill player that you got. Now,

(57:51):
I wouldn't go crazy, but weekeighteen, what the hell, go pick
some guys up and plug him in. And I will say this about Jalen
Hyatt. Uh draft him next year? Ye draft him, put him on
your board as somebody that you wantlate big fan. And you know what,
Wandale Robinson with ty with Tyrod hasactually looked good the last couple of

(58:14):
weeks. So with a decent quarterback, I think Wandale Robinson is a good
receiver. I'm not gonna, youknow, plug him in week one,
next week, next year, butI would certainly pick him up with a
thirteen fourteenth round pick and take ashot on it. Same for Jalen Yep
exactly. That's that's where you gethim. That's it. I ran Niners.

(58:34):
Uh, Niners aren't playing anybody,So they're playing Carson Wentz, Yeah,
uh play h Yeah, Stafford's notplaying. Yeah, Kiren maybe will
play some I don't know, CooperCup I don't know. I don't know.

(58:59):
Do you trust Wentz to get themthe football without busting into tears?
And I mean, you know,I would fade this game, which is
crazy when I think about the beginningof the season, but at the end
of the season, yeah, I'dfade this game any bonuses to be earned.
Let's see, doesn't look like itnow and there's no I mean,

(59:20):
the the Rams are in. Youknow, they're either going to be the
six or seven seeds. So Ramsare in, Niners are obviously in the
first seed. Nothing matters in thisgame, so nobody's going to play.
Yeah, all right, last gameof the week then Cowboys Commanders. Cowboys
need to win to maintain their likelike your last game, I still have

(59:42):
one o ye, So Cowboys haveto win to maintain the division. Correct
they have. I mean they're inthe playoffs, but they have. They
clinched the NFC East if they win, if Philly loses, or if there's
ties right, U, The Commandersare second overall pick in the draft right
now, so you're not playing foranything, playing for jobs at this point.

(01:00:06):
But you know they were. Itwas the same situation last year in
the and Sam Howe in his firststart beat the Cowboys in Week eighteen.
So it is in Washington, Washington, Washington adjacent. Crazier things have happened.
Uh, obviously gonna play Dak.Obviously gonna play Ceadee lamb Uh.
Pollard is been up and down allseason. Throw them into flex, but

(01:00:30):
that that's pretty much the best Iwould say to do with them. Jake
Ferguson has been doing pretty well attight end. I'd roll him from the
commanders. It's hard to love anybody. Uh, it's damn right impossible.
Yeah, I mean, like howYeah, I was like my guts telling

(01:00:52):
me to roll with with Howell.Like he's a baller. He reminds me
of Brett Farr. He's not asgood. I'm not gonna say he's like,
you know, a Hall of Famerright now, but he does.
He's a gunslinger man. Yeah,if only he had a line, maybe
with that number two pick, theyshould take a tackle. Just saying that

(01:01:15):
would be great. Yeah, Iknow. Is that it for you?
I mean, yeah, you probablycan roll Hell. I wouldn't expect him
to be top ten this week,but he might get you fifteen to twenty
points. Running back situation is kindof all over the place the past few
weeks. I'm not tread to anyof those guys. Terry had his best

(01:01:36):
game of the season last week.Could row him. Curtis Samuel, I
think is always a good option.But you know, Dallas is a decent
defense, especially against division opponents,so they're going to be trying to win
that division. Yeah, all right, So the last game of the week,
this is your Sunday Night or whatever. So you got the Buffalo Bills
and the Miami Dolphins. The winnerof this game clinches the AFC East.

(01:01:59):
This is a big this is one. This is the game of the week,
of the month of the year.So seeing it where Buffalo was in
the middle of the season versus now, amazing. This is this is why
I'm not worried about McDermott's job quitefrankly. Ye. So, actually,
if if the two teams tie forsome reason, Miami wins the tiebreaker there
but winning you're in here for winning. You take the division for Miami or

(01:02:22):
Buffalo. Now Buffalo, Miami's clincheda playoff spot, but Buffalo can get
into the playoffs as a as awild card if they tie. If Pitt
loses, are ties if Jacksonville losesher ties or Houston and Indie tie.
So you know, if they don'twin, they need some help, but
they can still they can still squeakin. I don't think that is it

(01:02:43):
in Miami. This game is inMiami. Yeah, rough go it is
uh if you remember Buffalo smoked himearlier this year they did. Miami's weird
about that. They against really goodteams. They don't play all that well
except they beat Dallas. So whoknows bo Yeah wins a win bro especially,

(01:03:07):
you know if you're not expected towin and you upset. Obviously,
Josh Allen's to play Cook has becomea no brainer lately. Who saw that
coming. Steph Diggs has been almosta gotta sit in the last few weeks
he's been He's been the guy whogets you to the playoffs and then once
you're in the playoffs, I'm talkingfantasy here, basically poops the bed and

(01:03:29):
out you go. So don't knowwhat to do with him. You can't
sit the guy, clearly, butreally temporary expectations. Same with Gabe Davis.
The tight ends are good. Iwould play either one that you had,
assuming they're up to a tongue ofa low has not been a play
recently, I think against against thisteam. In this scenario, he's gonna

(01:03:51):
have to be a guy who throwsthe ball a lot, so I think
he's he's at least worth a quarterbacktwo in a superflex. If Raheem Monster's
back, play him a Shae.I'm going to play that dude, rekill.
Even though his house burned down today. I'm sure he's upset about that.
Did you guys hear about that?Yeah? It was like breaking news

(01:04:14):
fire at Tyreek Hill's house. Soanyway, you gotta play that dude.
If Waddle's back, you got toplay him, of course. And that's
pretty much it. For a teamas explosive as this, they only have
a few guys, and it's weirdthat way Kansas City used to be that
way you think you'd be able tothrow I don't know Robbie chosen in there,
but of course you cannot. Nobonuses I can see. I'm guessing

(01:04:35):
these two teams, with as wellas they've done, have reached all the
bonus activity they can get. Soand them beat them games. Belches.
You got only have one question,and it's not one Okay, I have
two, so I'll go first.Chanch the Mansus. Thank you fellows for

(01:04:57):
getting us across the finish line onceagain. We Week sixteen I lost three
semis, but week seventeen I wonone ship I wont two. Anyway,
three loss has hurt a bit morethan the joy of one win. No
lineup questions this week. I'm interestedin starting my own g league and he's
vice on which platform? How dowe go about dropping players? Is running
the Guillotine League the worst idea I'veever had? Yeah? Probably now I'm

(01:05:19):
just joking. Thanks again and havea day. Really, I've investigated this.
I'd really love to see a platformhave a Guillotine League system, but
none of them do. So Ijust use flea Flicker because I just you
can go into the commission powers andjust drop teams. You just drop the
whole team, all the players goback to the waiver wire. Easy pas.

(01:05:40):
He takes me about three minutes tomanage this on Tuesday morning, So
flee Flicker is your thing, Chenchmissing My question is not a question from
Thumper, who says, not aquestion. But thanks to all three of
you for all the time and effortyou've given you this podcast this year.

(01:06:47):
unexpected plot twist. Robbie, yourlove for those irrelevant players is truly admirable.
But hey, Kevin Olile, canwe talk about how you two tag
team to pick on Robbie. It'slike a dynamic duo on a comedy roast.
Robbie, don't worry. Your slowand steady pace is the tortoise in
this fantasy football hair race. Nowto the heart of it. Yeah,

(01:07:09):
I mean I feel like we wouldnot be ourselves if we didn't do that,

our responsibilities. I love you,Rob, but I'm not gonna not give
you all the business you deserve.Yeah, it's gonna hat. I wouldn't
respect you if you didn't love it. Hell to the heart of it.
