<v Speaker 1>had him in my DFS lineup this week as well,

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.000

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>that I could win a little bit of cash here

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Diggs had the nuts of Big Ben Roethlisberger who put

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>up four hundred and sixty nine yards, But it did

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>not matter because the Jacksonville Jaguars went in to Pittsburgh

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and won that game forty two. We are going to

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>be talking about all of it. My takeaways from the

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>division round. We will certainly get into the news and

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>notes around the NFL moving forward because we have a

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of head coaching news that we have to get into.

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>And if you were listening to Thursday or Friday Show

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>last week, you know we brought back something we did

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 1>last year, which was speeds Verse the kids, and i

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>gotta tell you, the kids had a good week. So

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>we are lucky because down there in the fantasy pit

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 1>of misery is one of my fantasy BFFs. It is

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Mike Florio, And we're gonna have to talk to Mike

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Florio about his kids vis a vis some of our

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 1>kids picks because the kids, a lot of them went

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.359
<v Speaker 1>three and one. Mike Florio, Nah, not so much. We'll

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.920
<v Speaker 1>get into that a little bit later on. I'll also

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>give a look at some of the moves going around

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Major League Baseball right now. We've been talking about how

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>the hot stove was cold as ice. It is starting

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>to heat up, and I'll tell you about a big

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 1>trade that happened in the National League today. We also

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>got that pole question, which was the most impressive division

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 1>winner in your opinion? Hit me up on Twitter at

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>spitting speeds. Obviously, the choices are the four teams left standing,

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles, the Pats, the Jaguars and the Minnesota Vikings.

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>After a play that will go down in NFL playoff history,

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>we will talk about all of it coming right back

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:01.320

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the show, the number to call is eight four four

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>eight four three six eight seven nine. Let's get it

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 1>started with some news and notes here from around the NFL.

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 1>The first thing I want to say is check this out.

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Mike Mularkey and the Tennessee Titans have decided to uh split.

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 1>They've mutually decided to go their separate ways. Remember there

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of talk that Malarkey was gonna get

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>fired at the end of the regular season. The Titans.

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Then one week sevent team they pulled the upset in

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City and wild card round, a lot of people

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>thought he saved his job. In fact that it is

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.839
<v Speaker 1>not the case. They are moving on, which creates now

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>a seventh opening in the NFL. I think this is

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>in question because listen, malarkey, they overperformed this year. Okay,

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.040
<v Speaker 1>they go to the playoffs, they win a playoff game.

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 1>If you talk to any Tennessee Titans fan at the

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 1>beginning of the season and said, hey, if I tell

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.839
<v Speaker 1>you you're gonna win one playoff game this season, and

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.599
<v Speaker 1>you know Marcus Mariota would not have a career threatening injury,

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 1>would you take that, I think most Titans fans would

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:51.280
<v Speaker 1>say yes and continuing to build. But listen, we're getting

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>now reports that they may interview Mike Vrabel as an

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>option there in Tennessee. There are also reports that Josh McDaniels,

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the page its offensive coordinator, would quote unquote but prefer

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the Titans and to any of the other jobs he

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 1>has been linked to. But there is a lot of

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>reports right now that McDaniels will in fact be the

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>next head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. It sounds like

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>he is going all in on believing Andrew Luck will

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 1>be ready to go. You gotta figure, if you're Josh

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 1>McDaniels has an offensive mind, having Andrew Luck would be great.

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 1>So yes, there are reports that Josh McDaniels is expected

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>to be the new head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Also reports that Matt Patricia will be the next head

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>coach of the Detroit Lions. Okay, we are also getting

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 1>reports now that it is going to be Pat Shermer

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>as the front runner going to the New York Football Giants.

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>And remember, I think this is important because there have

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 1>been reports that wherever Pat Shermer goes, he is going

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to try to take Case Keenum with him. I think

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 1>that has implications for one Eli Manning potentially now being

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>in the quarterback merry go round in this offseason. You

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 1>gotta think, if you're Shermer and you go to the

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Giants and you take your boy Case Keenum with you,

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I think Case Keenum comes on a short term contract

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>on a one or two kind of year, prove it

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of deal, because I still think that the Giants

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>are going to take a quarterback number two overall, it

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>will probably be Rosen, But then you take Keenum maybe

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>as the bridge guy to get him there. I think

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 1>that is a viable fit, meaning that Eli Manning may

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 1>wind up being in the quarterback carousel. Places like Denver,

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>places like Jacksonville might be interested in that. Remember also

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 1>last week when I did my head coaching ranks for

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.199
<v Speaker 1>the openings, well, think about the ones that are now filled.

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I said Oakland was one. They got the big name.

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.559
<v Speaker 1>I said, I liked Detroit, and I liked Indianapolis. In

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the middle right, they got the hot coordinators from New England.

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I said that lower than that were the New York Giants,

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.679
<v Speaker 1>then the Chicago Bears and the Arizona Cardinals, and that

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:08.439
<v Speaker 1>they were gonna have to try and get retreads or coordinators,

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.439
<v Speaker 1>that they were going to be a year early on.

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 1>And that's what's happening Sherman now potentially with the Giants.

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Remember how the Bears went ahead and got Nagy, a

0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 1>coordinator from Kansas City, was probably a year early with it.

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>And now there are reports that out there in Arizona

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.440
<v Speaker 1>that um, they are looking at the Patriots linebackers coach.

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about this a little bit later on. The

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Patriots could have their coaching ranks completely eviscerated in this offseason,

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>But that would be another example of trying to get

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>an up and coming guy as a stretch role for

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>the Arizona Cardinals because they are not attracting talent. We

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.199
<v Speaker 1>will see who kind of is in the run aside

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 1>aside from Mike Vrabel for this Tennessee Titans opening, and

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>we'll see if Malarkey surfaces somewhere else. That is not

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the only change in Tennessee after they are now gone

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>from the NFL playoffs. There is words that DeMarco Murray

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.000
<v Speaker 1>is likely to be cut um he would take to

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.720
<v Speaker 1>take that cap hit off. The Tennessee Titans looks like

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>they believe in Derrick Henry, Marcus Mariota and maybe a

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>different style of offense. Remember earlier in the season when

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Richard Matthews was saying that they liked maybe going no

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 1>huddle a little bit more, they liked their four minute

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 1>offense a little bit more. There were a lot of

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 1>talk about how Malarkey's offense this exotic smash mouth, which

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.080
<v Speaker 1>is probably the last time we're gonna get to say

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 1>exotic smash mouth. If they kind of evolve into the

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty one century, it could be interesting things for guys

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>like Marcus Mariota next year, and keep an eye on

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Corey David's next year. We had a Corey Davis citing

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:44.080
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns in that game against the Patriots. But de

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>Marco Murray, what is he worth out there as a

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>potential free agent? I gotta tell you, I would look

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>elsewhere if I'm a team in the running back market,

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 1>a team like Detroit, a team like the Giants. Okay,

0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I would rather have Carlos Hide than DeMarco Murray. Marco

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Murray has turned thirty this year. De Marco Murray, in

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>my opinion, is one of those Kia running backs. My neck,

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 1>my back, always something wrong with DeMarco Murray. I don't

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>think I'd open up the Brinks truck for a guy

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 1>like him. In running back news, also, we're getting reports

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:19.559
<v Speaker 1>again that the Steelers will in fact franchise tag Levy

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>on Bell, giving him another season under the franchise tag,

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 1>getting something like fourteen fifteen million dollars for that as

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the franchise tag. But I gotta tell you, I think

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>that this is then going into the kind of Kirk

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Cousins territory where they may squeeze all the juice out

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.559
<v Speaker 1>of the orange they can, and maybe the Pittsburgh Steelers

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>decide that they want to take one more run at

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>it because it looks like Big Ben will be coming back.

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>But I'll have the same narrative on the Pittsburgh Steelers

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 1>one year big Ben's last ride for retirement, when you

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>still have Antonio Brown and you still have levy On Bell.

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 1>If they sour the waters with Levy On Belle, though,

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I think he will be gone as soon as he

0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>is allowed to when they stop franchise tagging him. I

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.959
<v Speaker 1>think that is very interesting. You have Martavis Bryant saying

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 1>he wants to come back with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 1>think the Steelers will take one more run at it.

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.560
<v Speaker 1>And if you ask me, if you listen to the show,

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you know I believe the Steelers a game, if they

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 1>play it, is better than anyone else's a game. But

0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the problem is they are not able to call upon

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>that when they needed, whether it is the regular season

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.439
<v Speaker 1>against the Patriots or in a tight playoff game this

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.560
<v Speaker 1>week against the Jaguars. The last note I will have

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.959
<v Speaker 1>for you here is a R fifteen Allen Robinson saying

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.319
<v Speaker 1>that he will be healthy he will take his physicals

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:41.199
<v Speaker 1>and look to be cleared before free agency starts in March.

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I think a R fifteen is a very interesting fit

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.319
<v Speaker 1>if any te team is looking for a free agent

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.560
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver. His skill is incredible. This is a guy

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 1>that makes Blake Bortles look decent. This is a guy

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 1>that made Christian Hackenberg in college look decent coming off

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>in a c L surgery. Listen, this is a guy

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 1>that was also a top five, top seven kind of

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver going into drafts last year or two years ago.

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 1>What if he wound up in San Francisco with Jimmy

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:14.720
<v Speaker 1>g Q. What if he wound up in Oakland replacing

0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.960
<v Speaker 1>a guy like Michael Crabtree. What if you wound up

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 1>as the one wide receiver, the outside wide receiver in

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 1>a place like Baltimore with Macklin then moving to the

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.959
<v Speaker 1>wide out two. I think there will be a market

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.040
<v Speaker 1>for a R. Fifteen. All Right, what we gotta do

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 1>here is we gotta talk Florio about these kids. I

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 1>gotta tell you something. These kids had a big time week.

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.560
<v Speaker 1>We heard from michaela the Unicorn and training. She went

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.280
<v Speaker 1>three and one, She had the Eagles, she had the Patriots.

0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.440
<v Speaker 1>She had the Jaguars, which is going to be a

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.079
<v Speaker 1>theme around these kids. Her only loss. Checked this out, Florio.

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 1>She then had had the Saints. She was one play

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:58.840
<v Speaker 1>away from going undefeated in divisional weekend. She went three

0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.439
<v Speaker 1>and one. The Saints were are only lost. Got to

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 1>give it up from Michaela going three and one. Okay,

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Florio probably knows on't want to us. No, Florio, I

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.679
<v Speaker 1>understand it's this is tough for you because your picks

0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.200
<v Speaker 1>were the Falcons, the Pats, the Steelers, in the Saints. You,

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>my friend went one in three, and we were talking

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:21.960
<v Speaker 1>about what happens if these kids build up a lead

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:26.040
<v Speaker 1>on you, And now on Monday, you're relatively speechless as

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Michaela go three in one. Goose went three and one.

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Her only mistake was she had the Titans. Tito went

0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 1>three and one. His only mistake was the Falcons. Even

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Zoe are fourteen month old or almost two year old kid,

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 1>she went too and two having an Eagles and having

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars. She went too into Florio, you uhn one

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>in three? What happened? Yeah? I had a bad week

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 1>and I tweeted you yesterday. I said that the kids

0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 1>are having a big game because they had the Cats,

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 1>and the Cats came through for them. And and after

0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the show, I told you, I said, the kids are

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna beat us, that the Cats win, and that's exactly

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 1>what all of the kids were on the Jaguars. They

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 1>felt the Cats, and as you know, the Cats came

0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:12.400
<v Speaker 1>through with a forty five forty to win UM against

0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh Steels. What we're gonna do is we're gonna further

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 1>recap our picks and then I'm gonna give you my

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:20.840

<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Freestyle. Florio giving me those biggie tracks because we're

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 1>coming back here. Bob in your head, because the neck

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 1>knows what's up. It is the hashtag stats over beat Cipher.

0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 1>And I gotta tell you something. I got mad love

0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 1>for the stats overbeat Cipher. Mad people hit me up

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:03.880
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter. Right as Stefon Diggs play happened. Everybody remembering that,

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, we have been on digs all season long. Stephen,

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 1>can you digs? It certainly came through for his team

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 1>on the last play of the game. Uh. I was

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:20.359
<v Speaker 1>talking with this about with Florio about this. Not only

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.679
<v Speaker 1>does Digs make the catch, but then he has the

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.920
<v Speaker 1>presence of mind to not just go out of bounds,

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.160
<v Speaker 1>which has gotta be what you were told in that huddle.

0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 1>If you make the catch, go out of bounds, try

0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.120
<v Speaker 1>and save yourself for a potential game winning field goal.

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 1>But he saw that because Williams, you know, kind of

0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:36.479
<v Speaker 1>flew by and was out there. There was no one

0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.280
<v Speaker 1>in back of him and he could go all the way.

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.199
<v Speaker 1>Big shout out to the hashtag stats over beat cipher Lantern.

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Hit me up, Jilly Dilley, hit me up. Maria Marino,

0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.160
<v Speaker 1>First Team All Lit with the shoulder shimmy. She hit

0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.879
<v Speaker 1>me up a lot of people knowing that, Uh, I

0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:54.400
<v Speaker 1>was probably happy seeing Stephon. Can you digs it do big,

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.600
<v Speaker 1>big things for the Minnesota Vikings. Also check this out,

0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Jilly Dilley. UM props to you because on Friday, I

0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:06.040
<v Speaker 1>literally said that the Titans Patriots game was going to

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.880
<v Speaker 1>be potentially a thirty five fourteen final. Your boys, speedies

0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.919
<v Speaker 1>nailed it cold. And I gotta say this, as we

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.199
<v Speaker 1>said that the kids went three and one, Florio went

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 1>only one in three. I went two and two. But

0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I will say this if you listen to my picks

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:24.200
<v Speaker 1>on Friday against the spread, I actually went four and oh.

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I told you that the Eagles, because I love the

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.440
<v Speaker 1>home Dogs, they would win it out right, and they did.

0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I told you that the Patriots, that I would lay

0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:33.720
<v Speaker 1>the points with the Patriots, that they would win by

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot above the thirteen and a half point spread,

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.200
<v Speaker 1>and they did. I said that I thought the Steelers

0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:43.000
<v Speaker 1>would win the game but not cover, so against the spread,

0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:46.159
<v Speaker 1>I picked the Jacksonville Jaguars, which was correct. And I

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 1>also said that I had the New Orleans Saints. And

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.399
<v Speaker 1>I gotta tell you something. There was sports books that

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 1>were a blaze on Sunday because you gotta think that

0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 1>listen people had people got the line Minnesota minus five

0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:01.639
<v Speaker 1>and it up being a five point win. You know

0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.680
<v Speaker 1>it was final, but check this out. They were saying.

0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you saw this. At the end

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 1>of the game, they were like, we have to kick

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:13.120
<v Speaker 1>the extra point that would have made it a six

0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.639
<v Speaker 1>point victory. You know, this line closed at five and

0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:20.439
<v Speaker 1>a half. So their decision after the games to go

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.440
<v Speaker 1>on and kneel down instead of just kicked the extra point,

0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 1>that is what changed it for a lot of people.

0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Hashtag game of inches. The other thing I want to

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.879
<v Speaker 1>say here what we're talking about the hashtag stats overbeat

0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:37.320
<v Speaker 1>cipher because we saw a new uh dilly dilly commercials

0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the bud Light ones, right, He's turning everything into bud Light.

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Is gonna turn the King himself into bud Light. Doesn't

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:46.040
<v Speaker 1>do that? Okay, I like that one. I still like

0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.160
<v Speaker 1>to pit a misery one the best. But we gotta

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.359
<v Speaker 1>get something big time. There's only gonna be you know,

0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 1>next week and then the super Bowl. I guarrant diam

0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.760
<v Speaker 1>t you that this will be the first commercial after

0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the kickoff of the super Bowl will be like the

0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:01.679
<v Speaker 1>culmination dilly dilly commercial. So I am looking forward to that.

0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:04.120
<v Speaker 1>But check this out, all right, So Mikaela goes three

0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and one, Goose goes three and one, Tito goes three

0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and one, Zoe goes two and two, all ahead of

0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Mike Florio, the expert journalist, Mike Florio, who goes one

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 1>and three. Your boys speeds went two and two. But

0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:18.719
<v Speaker 1>if you add that to my three and one from

0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:21.600
<v Speaker 1>wild Card weekend, I am now five and three on

0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:25.359
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. Ventra our Boy, the analyst. He went three

0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and one. His only loss was the Falcons. He had Falcons, Pats, Jaguars,

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and Vikings. Put that with his two into two and

0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:35.640
<v Speaker 1>two record for wild Card weekend, he is also five

0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:37.919
<v Speaker 1>and three along with me, we may have some new

0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:42.200
<v Speaker 1>kids in the cipher for an f C and NFC

0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 1>championship game in Florio. We gotta get your pixie if

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:46.840
<v Speaker 1>you could rebound make it to five hundred. Let me

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:48.400
<v Speaker 1>tell you what I thought about this. First of all,

0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia Eagles. I told you about the home dogs. Okay,

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:53.879
<v Speaker 1>that is a trend we have been playing, and I

0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.480
<v Speaker 1>told you that this defense was gonna be serious. That's

0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:59.240
<v Speaker 1>what I liked about the Philadelphia Eagles. Anyway. Obviously there's

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:02.000
<v Speaker 1>once and is m v P caliber, you know, twelve

0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:04.760
<v Speaker 1>or thirteen games. But here's what I thought was very important.

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Davante Freeman ten carries for seven yards. Remember how I said, Oh,

0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the Atlanta Falcons didn't go away from what got them there,

0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:15.719
<v Speaker 1>and they had all these thirty two attempts against the Rams,

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 1>they were not able to do that against the Philadelphia Eagles.

0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was huge. And I really think listen,

0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:24.399
<v Speaker 1>this home dog thing. It matters. Okay. You take a

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:27.080
<v Speaker 1>dome team, you put them in a thirty five degree stadium,

0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:31.479
<v Speaker 1>and that crowd was hyped, big fourth down plays, change

0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:34.040
<v Speaker 1>over of possessions, They were getting it going. You saw

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:38.159
<v Speaker 1>the same thing in Minnesota with the skull. This matters, Okay?

0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Does it matter enough for me to once again pick

0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles as home dogs against the Vikings this week?

0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Tune in later on in the week to find out.

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And also, I gotta say this, people are critiquing the

0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.280
<v Speaker 1>play call for this last play for the Falcons. No, no, no, no, no,

0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:56.400
<v Speaker 1>the play call was fine. You know who wasn't Julio

0:21:56.680 --> 0:22:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Jones who defecated the mattress not once, but twice ice

0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:03.679
<v Speaker 1>on that play, slipping and falling out of his break.

0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:06.680
<v Speaker 1>By the way, that's something that happens when a Dome

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:11.320
<v Speaker 1>team plays outside on grass. This is what happens. And

0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:14.639
<v Speaker 1>then enough for nothing, Mattie Ice put the ball right

0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:17.680
<v Speaker 1>where Julio Jones needed it and it went right through

0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Julio Jones hands. Now, I know he landed out of bounds,

0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 1>but you gotta figure if he makes that catch, maybe

0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 1>he can get both feet in. That's the Santonio almost

0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:29.639
<v Speaker 1>play in the Super Bowl. Julio, you gotta come up

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:32.680
<v Speaker 1>with that, in my opinion. Our next game was in

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:35.200
<v Speaker 1>New England, you know, thirty five seventeen. Shout out to

0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:37.679
<v Speaker 1>Jilly Dilley who saw that I nailed the score of

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.680
<v Speaker 1>this game cold. And let me tell you something. People

0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:45.159
<v Speaker 1>are gonna laugh at me, but there was a huge play.

0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Like mid second quarter, it is fourteen seven, and it's

0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:52.639
<v Speaker 1>kind of back and forth game. I even had one

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:55.880
<v Speaker 1>of my boys out there in California text me like, Yo,

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee is gonna win this game. They were hanging with them.

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:02.080
<v Speaker 1>It was a huge play the eagle. The Pats were

0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:05.440
<v Speaker 1>punting it unlike their own ten or fifteen yard line,

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:08.080
<v Speaker 1>and it was a fourteen seven game. Tennessee was gonna

0:23:08.119 --> 0:23:10.680
<v Speaker 1>get the ball back with good field position, and Tennessee

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:14.120
<v Speaker 1>had a crazy penalty giving New England the first down.

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:17.520
<v Speaker 1>They then go ahead and drive go up seven, and

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 1>at that point it was lights out for the Tennessee Titans.

0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:24.919
<v Speaker 1>And apparently from the Larkey's coaching career in Tennessee as well,

0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I gotta tell you something, this running back heard that

0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I talked about in New England was definitely in play.

0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:33.560
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people were on myself, included was on

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Dion Lewis and Deon Lewis had a nice game. Fifteen

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:39.560
<v Speaker 1>carries for sixty nine yards, caught nine balls for another

0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.040
<v Speaker 1>seventy nine yards. All right, my man had over a

0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:44.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty combined scrimmage yards, so you on it.

0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:47.280
<v Speaker 1>But he got vultured not once, not twice, but three times.

0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:53.119
<v Speaker 1>James White two touchdowns, Brandon Bolden a touchdown. Now, with

0:23:53.200 --> 0:23:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Rex Burkehead maybe being healthy for the a f C

0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Championship game, I would stay away from these Patriots. Running

0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:01.639
<v Speaker 1>back to the herd is real. Okay. And here's the

0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 1>other thing, uh Conklin went out in that game, and

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 1>right about the same time this kind of pendulum swinging

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 1>play I was telling you about that penalty, Mariota got

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:12.760
<v Speaker 1>sacked eight times. We've been talking about offensive line play

0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:15.439
<v Speaker 1>all season long. When you're all pro left tackle or

0:24:15.440 --> 0:24:18.439
<v Speaker 1>tackle goes down, it is not going to be helpful.

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:20.439
<v Speaker 1>As I mentioned, Also, we had a Corey Davis siting

0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:24.080
<v Speaker 1>a little bit late first stats over beat cipher Fans

0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:27.360
<v Speaker 1>MC Cory Davis five catches, sixty three yards and two touchdowns,

0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:31.919
<v Speaker 1>including the first one which was evidence of his incredible skill.

0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Maybe with a new head coach, maybe with a new scheme,

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 1>but they're not playing exotic smash mouth. Corey Davis could

0:24:37.600 --> 0:24:40.560
<v Speaker 1>be in line for a big sophomore season. And then

0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 1>we gotta talk about this Jaguars WINT two. I gotta

0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 1>tell you something. They punched the Steelers in the mouth.

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:50.040
<v Speaker 1>They had three rushing touchdowns in the first like nineteen

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:53.119
<v Speaker 1>minutes of play. This to be quite honest, and I

0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:55.400
<v Speaker 1>don't I hate saying it this way. This is where

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:58.800
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers missed a guy like Ryan shays Ere they're

0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:02.280
<v Speaker 1>linebacker who can go sidelines, sideline. This is where you

0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:05.920
<v Speaker 1>missed the guy like that. Okay, But honestly, some of

0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the page, some of the Steelers calls here made no

0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:11.240
<v Speaker 1>sense to me. On fourth down, why are they running

0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the ball out wide pitching it to Levy on Bell.

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that. Run the ball downhill and between

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the tackles with your patient, incredible running back, Levan Bell.

0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Give Levy on Bell the ball more. In the second half.

0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I like when they threw deep, you know, the bomb

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:30.200
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow Davis Bryan on fourth down. A lot of production

0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 1>they had on fourth down, big Ben putting up video

0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:35.359
<v Speaker 1>game numbers. I like that, but why are they not

0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:38.480
<v Speaker 1>getting Levan Bell the ball more in the second half?

0:25:38.560 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 1>And here's the other thing, what what are they doing

0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:44.639
<v Speaker 1>in the game situations? Why are they kicking an onside

0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 1>kick instead of kicking deep when they get within a

0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 1>touchdown when they have two time outs and the two

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:52.880
<v Speaker 1>minute warning, they held them and we're able to drive

0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:55.240
<v Speaker 1>down for the touchdown. And if you kick that ball deep,

0:25:56.680 --> 0:25:59.399
<v Speaker 1>they could have tied that game. Why are they not

0:25:59.560 --> 0:26:03.240
<v Speaker 1>calling time out in uh in like the last minute either?

0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Poor clock management, poor game management? In my opinion, when

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 1>it related to the Pittsburgh Steelers, I will say this,

0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:14.399
<v Speaker 1>Leonard Fournett is a perfect fit for that team, running

0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and defense. It travels. It worked for the Baltimore Ravens.

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:19.760
<v Speaker 1>It's worked for the Tampa Bay Bucks in Super Bowl

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:23.080
<v Speaker 1>runs before. Might it worked for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I

0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:26.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I mean, this defense, it's really otherworldly. Will

0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:29.920
<v Speaker 1>they be able to do what they did against New England?

0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not so sure. But here's the thing. They scored

0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:36.200
<v Speaker 1>forty five points. Granted they got a defensive touchdown, but

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:39.560
<v Speaker 1>their offense scored thirty eight points against the Pittsburgh defense

0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:42.600
<v Speaker 1>that was top five in the NFL. Pittsburgh defense with

0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:46.879
<v Speaker 1>the most sacks in the NFL. Is Blake Bortles putting

0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:49.240
<v Speaker 1>it all in our I I'm not so sure. I

0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:51.560
<v Speaker 1>think it was really more Leonard Fournett, to be quite honest.

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:53.919
<v Speaker 1>And here's the thing. Leonard Fournette is always banged up.

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:57.399
<v Speaker 1>He missed most of the second quarter, came back. But

0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:00.399
<v Speaker 1>can you rely on Leonard four Nette? That's what it

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 1>really comes down to. For me, That's what gives me

0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:06.040
<v Speaker 1>cause for pause. That And of course they're going up

0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:08.159
<v Speaker 1>to New England. I don't know if they can have

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:10.159
<v Speaker 1>a you know, I think style makes fight and it

0:27:10.200 --> 0:27:12.640
<v Speaker 1>makes it better, right because I think New England knows

0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:15.160
<v Speaker 1>how to handle Pittsburgh and Jacksonville is a different kind

0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:19.199
<v Speaker 1>of challenge. They will get pressure on Tom Brady. What

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:21.720
<v Speaker 1>if they hit him? What if they send them to

0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:23.879
<v Speaker 1>the cold, dark, quiet room. He won't go. We'll just

0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 1>go to the tent and have an eye injury. But whatever,

0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 1>we shall see. But we'll chop it up about that

0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:32.359
<v Speaker 1>all week long here on the Fantasy Freestyle. When we

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:34.159
<v Speaker 1>come back, here's we're gonna do. I'm gonna talk a

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 1>little bit more about this Vikings Saints game. I'm gonna

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:41.000
<v Speaker 1>tell you about my other biggest overall takeaway of divisional weekend.

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:43.200
<v Speaker 1>And then, guys, I gotta tell you also, the Major

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:45.879
<v Speaker 1>League Baseball hot stove has been cold as ice, but

0:27:45.920 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 1>it is heating up in the last week. We're gonna

0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:51.080
<v Speaker 1>talk about that a little while as well. Maybe get

0:27:51.080 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 1>a call from the hashtag stats over beat cipher. I

0:27:53.040 --> 0:27:56.280
<v Speaker 1>wants to talk major League Baseball, but maybe it doesn't

0:27:56.280 --> 0:27:59.160
<v Speaker 1>matter because maybe there's a new sport that people care

0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:02.000
<v Speaker 1>more about then baseball. We'll talk about that a little

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:04.400
<v Speaker 1>bit more as well, your boy Dame Martinez right here

<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Freestyle, your boy speeds spitting statistiction. I gotta tell

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:36.920
<v Speaker 1>you something about this Missnesota New Orleans game, because here's

0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the thing. I had people hit me up. My Super

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Bowl pick went down the drain this weekend. I was

0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:44.280
<v Speaker 1>on the Pittsburgh Steelers and I was on the New

0:29:44.400 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Orleans Saints, and my thesis was that I trust Drew

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Brees in the NFC over any of these other quarterbacks

0:29:51.560 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 1>of the top seeds, over Nick Foles, over Case Keenom,

0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:57.840
<v Speaker 1>over Jared Goff who already had his exit. And I

0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:02.000
<v Speaker 1>gotta tell you something, Kingdom didn't look amazing in that game,

0:30:02.040 --> 0:30:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and in the second half, Drew Brees certainly did did.

0:30:04.800 --> 0:30:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Drew Brees was throwing dimes, did you need that fourth

0:30:07.800 --> 0:30:10.840
<v Speaker 1>down throw to Willie's need to keep their season alive?

0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Throws to Michael Thomas left and right. Drew Brees was

0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 1>outperforming Case Keenom, and my narrative, my angle was holding

0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:26.520
<v Speaker 1>true until Stefon Diggs changed all of that. But I

0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:29.680
<v Speaker 1>gotta tell you something. I love this Minnesota team. I

0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:32.080
<v Speaker 1>love this Minnesota defense. They did get banged up, I think,

0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 1>and said Dajo went out with a head injury in

0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:39.120
<v Speaker 1>this one, but listen, Minnesota's very well rounded. You gotta

0:30:39.160 --> 0:30:42.040
<v Speaker 1>love their defense, even on the road against Nick Foles

0:30:42.120 --> 0:30:45.240
<v Speaker 1>and the Philadelphia Eagles. Right now, the Philadelphia Eagles are

0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:48.400
<v Speaker 1>home dogs for three and a half points against the

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. I like Minnesota a lot. Our

0:30:53.080 --> 0:30:56.320
<v Speaker 1>guy Tony Sencada said that, you know, the Minnesota Vikings

0:30:56.360 --> 0:30:58.640
<v Speaker 1>might be hosting the Super Bowl. They are only one

0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 1>game away against the back up quarterback for that to happen.

0:31:03.080 --> 0:31:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I love their defense. I think it travels. I think

0:31:05.680 --> 0:31:08.479
<v Speaker 1>feeling and digs. Don't forget about Kyle Rudolph as an option,

0:31:08.880 --> 0:31:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and they're two headed monster there. You know you got

0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:13.360
<v Speaker 1>lab Mary, you got Jack McKinnon. Imagine if this teams

0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:17.080
<v Speaker 1>still had Dalvin Cook. And I also mentioned listen that

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:20.360
<v Speaker 1>five and a half point spread. If you had the Saints,

0:31:20.400 --> 0:31:22.719
<v Speaker 1>you still won because they did not cover because they

0:31:22.760 --> 0:31:26.719
<v Speaker 1>decided to kneel down after that play. Hashtag game of inches.

0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:29.440
<v Speaker 1>But Florio, let me ask you this real quick. My

0:31:29.520 --> 0:31:31.560
<v Speaker 1>biggest takeaway of the league, and I alluded to it

0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:34.280
<v Speaker 1>before when we talk about what was like the experienced

0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:39.080
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks against like these inexperienced quarterbacks. Listen, we had Tom Brady,

0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Matt Ryan, Ben Roethlisberger, and Drew Brees and only one

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:47.600
<v Speaker 1>of them wound up advancing. My thesis has always been,

0:31:47.640 --> 0:31:50.240
<v Speaker 1>if you show me a top ten quarterback, you know

0:31:50.360 --> 0:31:52.600
<v Speaker 1>quarterback that can win, I will take those guys against

0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the field right now in the NFL playoffs. But that

0:31:55.800 --> 0:31:58.000
<v Speaker 1>is not what happened. It was right when I said

0:31:58.000 --> 0:32:00.360
<v Speaker 1>that that Maddie Ice and Matt Ryan would beat Golf

0:32:00.400 --> 0:32:02.600
<v Speaker 1>in the wild card weekend, I thought this was my

0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:04.920
<v Speaker 1>ticket for Drew Brees getting to the super Bowl. I

0:32:05.040 --> 0:32:08.440
<v Speaker 1>still think the thesis kind of worked until one of

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:11.520
<v Speaker 1>the craziest plays in NFL history. But check how that

0:32:11.640 --> 0:32:15.880
<v Speaker 1>sits sets up for Tom Brady. He had to face

0:32:16.080 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee and Marcus Mariota in the division round. And remember

0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:20.840
<v Speaker 1>last week when he last year year when he got

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:23.680
<v Speaker 1>brock Off Swidler in the division round instead of facing

0:32:23.680 --> 0:32:25.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe a hot Derek Carr in the Oakland Raiders after

0:32:26.000 --> 0:32:28.840
<v Speaker 1>that broken leg. But then he's gonna get Blake Bortles

0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:32.720
<v Speaker 1>in the a f C Championship Game instead of saying

0:32:32.760 --> 0:32:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Famer Big Ben Roethlisberger. And then in the

0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl, if it goes that way, he's gonna face

0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:42.800
<v Speaker 1>either Nick Fools or case Keenum and get to avoid

0:32:42.800 --> 0:32:45.440
<v Speaker 1>say Drew Brees, gets to avoid say Cam Newton gets

0:32:45.480 --> 0:32:49.240
<v Speaker 1>to avoid say Maddie Ice. This sets up for Tom

0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Brady and the New England Patriots. Once again, everything falls

0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots way, whether it be Kelvin Benjamin you know

0:32:58.080 --> 0:33:02.000
<v Speaker 1>overturned calls. Either it be all the quarterbacks that could

0:33:02.000 --> 0:33:05.480
<v Speaker 1>do work against the Patriots falling down one by one,

0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and they get a pathfull of junior varsity squads all

0:33:09.280 --> 0:33:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the way to Super Bowl fifty two. It's absolutely ridiculous

0:33:13.840 --> 0:33:15.280
<v Speaker 1>for you. Go ahead, Oh, I was gonna saying. You

0:33:15.320 --> 0:33:18.280
<v Speaker 1>could say they get junior varsity quarterbacks maybe to go

0:33:18.360 --> 0:33:20.960
<v Speaker 1>up against, but not squads like these are defenses that

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:24.520
<v Speaker 1>have already held other tough shuterbacks in check. So maybe

0:33:24.520 --> 0:33:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Brady is the next one. So let me ask you this,

0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:28.120
<v Speaker 1>And here's where it comes down. This is kind of

0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:30.479
<v Speaker 1>the question. And tell Danny, I want to maybe if

0:33:30.480 --> 0:33:32.920
<v Speaker 1>we get some conversation about this in the chat as well,

0:33:33.280 --> 0:33:36.000
<v Speaker 1>do you still need a franchise quarterback in order to

0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:39.520
<v Speaker 1>win the Super Bowl? Look? Look, the Jacksonville Jaguars are

0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:42.840
<v Speaker 1>doing it with running in defense, the Minnesota Vikings and

0:33:42.880 --> 0:33:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Mike Zimmer has implemented his scheme, got his guys to

0:33:46.680 --> 0:33:50.440
<v Speaker 1>play that defense. The Philadelphia Eagles, they won that game

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:53.280
<v Speaker 1>on the strength of their defense and their defensive philosophy

0:33:53.480 --> 0:33:57.240
<v Speaker 1>about having eight strong defensive lineman that they could rotate

0:33:57.320 --> 0:34:02.160
<v Speaker 1>in and be fresh, like, maybe defense wins championships. I

0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:05.240
<v Speaker 1>used to think you needed the you know, the difference

0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:08.239
<v Speaker 1>maker at quarterback. I still believe in the NFL in

0:34:08.280 --> 0:34:10.799
<v Speaker 1>two thousand, seventeen or eighteen, you need the quarterback who

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:12.879
<v Speaker 1>can get at the line and go kill kill, kill,

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:14.600
<v Speaker 1>and make the play and read the mail. I still

0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:18.960
<v Speaker 1>think that's what you need. But um, these defenses beat

0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:22.400
<v Speaker 1>these elite or established quarterbacks this week. I mean, if

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:25.919
<v Speaker 1>I gave you Florio for two eighteen, if I gave

0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:27.680
<v Speaker 1>you your pick of say like five quarterbacks you know

0:34:27.719 --> 0:34:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Brady and and Aaron Rodgers and Big Band and like

0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you know stud quarterbacks, or I gave you the top

0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:38.760
<v Speaker 1>five NFL defenses, where would you go. I'm still gonna

0:34:38.800 --> 0:34:41.040
<v Speaker 1>take the quarterback. I still think it is a quarterback

0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:44.120
<v Speaker 1>driven league. But I think if we're realizing that it

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:47.640
<v Speaker 1>is harder and harder to find these quarterbacks and the

0:34:47.680 --> 0:34:50.480
<v Speaker 1>top picks aren't really working out as we have envisioned.

0:34:50.560 --> 0:34:53.040
<v Speaker 1>So you either need a top quarterback or you need

0:34:53.080 --> 0:34:56.600
<v Speaker 1>an elite defense with weapons around an average quarterback. I

0:34:56.640 --> 0:34:58.920
<v Speaker 1>think the other way is like look at look at

0:34:58.960 --> 0:35:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Matt Ryan and the Falcons last year. Okay, you will

0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:04.120
<v Speaker 1>make a great point that it's hard to find these quarterbacks.

0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:07.040
<v Speaker 1>But you get the quarterbacks not in their first three years.

0:35:07.360 --> 0:35:09.840
<v Speaker 1>You get the quarterbacks going into kind of like you

0:35:09.880 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 1>know ages, uh, you know, thirty one right when they

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:17.279
<v Speaker 1>still have all their athletic gifts, but they know the

0:35:17.400 --> 0:35:21.640
<v Speaker 1>NFL and play seechemes and defenses and personnel well enough

0:35:21.680 --> 0:35:23.279
<v Speaker 1>that they can kind of move the pieces of the

0:35:23.360 --> 0:35:26.479
<v Speaker 1>chessboard around. So you've got guys like maybe the Matt

0:35:26.560 --> 0:35:29.759
<v Speaker 1>Ryan as well. You know, I'm very interested to see

0:35:29.760 --> 0:35:32.360
<v Speaker 1>that kind of crop of quarterbacks, the Matt Ryan's, the

0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Staffords them, the Kirk Cousins, the people you know

0:35:36.200 --> 0:35:39.920
<v Speaker 1>still Aaron Rodgers as well, people in that age group

0:35:40.440 --> 0:35:43.000
<v Speaker 1>to kind of see. So I do think it is interesting.

0:35:43.040 --> 0:35:46.160
<v Speaker 1>But we will be talking about my confidence in the offenses,

0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:50.840
<v Speaker 1>the defenses, and the coaching staffs for Championship weekend throughout

0:35:50.920 --> 0:35:52.920
<v Speaker 1>the week. I do want to say this though, as

0:35:52.960 --> 0:35:55.600
<v Speaker 1>we keep on talking here on the Fantasy Freestyle, one

0:35:55.640 --> 0:35:57.680
<v Speaker 1>of the things we're gonna start doing is also, you know,

0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:00.239
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get baseball into the conversation. We o here

0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:02.360
<v Speaker 1>on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, a lot of people

0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:05.880
<v Speaker 1>will be playing fantasy baseball. Last year, right after the

0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl. I started giving you my team by team previews,

0:36:08.680 --> 0:36:10.640
<v Speaker 1>and if you listen to those, you heard my pick

0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:12.320
<v Speaker 1>was in the Houston Astros to win the A L.

0:36:12.560 --> 0:36:15.319
<v Speaker 1>How about that? My pick was Corey Kluber to win

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:17.840
<v Speaker 1>this I Young, how about that? My pick was jose L.

0:36:17.880 --> 0:36:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Tuvey to win the A L m v P. How

0:36:19.520 --> 0:36:21.400
<v Speaker 1>about that? Right? So you can get a lot of

0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:23.440
<v Speaker 1>information data help you win a little bit of cash.

0:36:23.840 --> 0:36:25.880
<v Speaker 1>But listen, a lot of people have said, floor, you

0:36:25.920 --> 0:36:29.040
<v Speaker 1>know that the hot stove has been really cold this year,

0:36:29.239 --> 0:36:31.839
<v Speaker 1>and there's a number of reasons why. Potentially the two

0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:35.719
<v Speaker 1>thousand eighteen free agent class potentially there's one nine cap,

0:36:36.160 --> 0:36:38.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, Potentially Scott boris holding all the cards, you know.

0:36:39.280 --> 0:36:41.600
<v Speaker 1>But there have been some trades and and and in

0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the last week. Listen, Garrett Cole going to Houston. Um,

0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:49.880
<v Speaker 1>we have Andrew McCutchen today. If you haven't heard, Andrew

0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:52.319
<v Speaker 1>McCutchen has been traded to the San Francisco Giants. The

0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Giants are trying to be in on Stanton as well.

0:36:54.719 --> 0:36:57.759
<v Speaker 1>Stand to the Yanks, the fire stale in with the

0:36:57.800 --> 0:37:01.479
<v Speaker 1>Marlins and Derek Jeter continued, Marcelo Zuna to the st

0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:04.319
<v Speaker 1>Louis Cardinals. We're starting to see some arbitration things like

0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Machado and Donaldson. I think we're gonna see some other

0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Domino's fall. Okay, so we're gonna talk about why it's

0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:12.839
<v Speaker 1>been cold in the hot stove of this year. We're

0:37:12.840 --> 0:37:15.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk about what can still happen and how that impacts,

0:37:16.239 --> 0:37:18.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, some people like let's say Johns Jonaldson does

0:37:18.560 --> 0:37:22.120
<v Speaker 1>move to the Cardinals. Let's say Brad Hand does wind

0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:23.959
<v Speaker 1>up with the Houston Astros to give them a lefty

0:37:24.080 --> 0:37:27.000
<v Speaker 1>out of the pen. Let's say you know these Royals,

0:37:27.040 --> 0:37:31.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, Lorenzo Caine, Hosmer mustok is still up there

0:37:31.360 --> 0:37:33.920
<v Speaker 1>for grab some relievers out there as well. So we're

0:37:33.920 --> 0:37:37.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk about that before. But the thing is, honestly, Florial,

0:37:37.200 --> 0:37:40.759
<v Speaker 1>I can't make rankings yet. I don't know about you know,

0:37:40.800 --> 0:37:42.839
<v Speaker 1>where people are gonna land. You gotta see the full

0:37:42.880 --> 0:37:46.000
<v Speaker 1>composition of an offense to know, you know, if McCutcheon

0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:48.480
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be hitting three in this offense, who's with them?

0:37:48.520 --> 0:37:50.440
<v Speaker 1>You know? So it's hard to do rankings. But I

0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:52.359
<v Speaker 1>will do rankings, and I will start doing team by

0:37:52.400 --> 0:37:55.920
<v Speaker 1>team previews. But listen, we had Andrew McCutcheon, five time

0:37:55.920 --> 0:37:59.400
<v Speaker 1>All Star traded to the San Francisco Giants. Today, I

0:37:59.440 --> 0:38:02.040
<v Speaker 1>think they're might be movement on some other guys. Michael

0:38:02.080 --> 0:38:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Fulmer comes to mind, har Wish comes to mind. So

0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:07.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll keep you you abreast of everything here on the

0:38:07.000 --> 0:38:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Freestyle. But I did want to mention this, Floria,

0:38:10.480 --> 0:38:12.520
<v Speaker 1>did you know? Check this out the Gallop Pole. They

0:38:12.520 --> 0:38:15.480
<v Speaker 1>do this poll, you know, well respected polling company. Ever

0:38:15.560 --> 0:38:18.600
<v Speaker 1>since seven they have asked Americans what is your favorite

0:38:18.600 --> 0:38:20.920
<v Speaker 1>sport to watch? Florio, what do you think was the

0:38:20.960 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 1>number one sport? Football? Absolutely correct? However, football has gone

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:28.760
<v Speaker 1>down six percentage points in the last ten years. Thirty

0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:31.840
<v Speaker 1>seven percent of people say that football is their favorite

0:38:31.840 --> 0:38:35.319
<v Speaker 1>sports to watch, down though from at a tight about

0:38:35.320 --> 0:38:38.400
<v Speaker 1>ten years ago. Here's the interesting one, though, Florio, who

0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:42.279
<v Speaker 1>do you think was number two? Basketball? Absolutely correct? For

0:38:42.320 --> 0:38:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the first time, for the first time ever, baseball has

0:38:46.680 --> 0:38:51.919
<v Speaker 1>dropped out of the top two in this country. Nine

0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:54.480
<v Speaker 1>percent say baseball, So I give you these baseball updates.

0:38:54.520 --> 0:38:58.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, nine percent say baseball. Eleven percent say that

0:38:58.400 --> 0:39:01.200
<v Speaker 1>basketball is their fay rich sport to watch. So we

0:39:01.280 --> 0:39:05.920
<v Speaker 1>got thirty seven percent Football still king NBA and basketball

0:39:05.960 --> 0:39:10.880
<v Speaker 1>eleven percent, and baseball now down to third in this country.

0:39:10.920 --> 0:39:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I still love baseball. I love it as a background thing.

0:39:13.200 --> 0:39:15.719
<v Speaker 1>I love the boys of spring, the leisurely pace. But

0:39:15.760 --> 0:39:18.759
<v Speaker 1>these millennials, you know, you're swiping right, you're swiping left,

0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:21.400
<v Speaker 1>you're looking for likes right away. The NBA more conduce

0:39:21.480 --> 0:39:24.200
<v Speaker 1>of it is now the number two sport in the

0:39:24.320 --> 0:39:26.319
<v Speaker 1>United States of America. You know what I also thought

0:39:26.360 --> 0:39:29.719
<v Speaker 1>was interesting from this pole, Florio is you know, got

0:39:29.719 --> 0:39:33.320
<v Speaker 1>football one, basketball to a baseball three at nine percent.

0:39:33.960 --> 0:39:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Soccer is now number four. Check this out at seven percent,

0:39:38.880 --> 0:39:43.200
<v Speaker 1>almost overtaking baseball as the third biggest sport in this country.

0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:46.200
<v Speaker 1>They say it is the biggest share of this pole

0:39:46.719 --> 0:39:49.600
<v Speaker 1>of any sport that was not football, basketball, or baseball

0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:54.560
<v Speaker 1>since when NASCAR got up to seven percent. Soccer is

0:39:54.680 --> 0:39:59.160
<v Speaker 1>truly on the move here in the United States of America.

0:39:59.200 --> 0:40:01.360
<v Speaker 1>When we come back here though, on the Fantasy Freestyle,

0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:03.279
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna check in on a different poll. I had

0:40:03.320 --> 0:40:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the poll on Twitter which team was the most impressive

0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:09.440
<v Speaker 1>during divisional weekend. And we also go to my boy Danny,

0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:12.520
<v Speaker 1>who's been monitoring the chat down on the Fantasy Pit

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:15.239
<v Speaker 1>of misery. Want to hear what people are saying if they,

0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:17.799

0:40:21.640 --> 0:40:24.200

<v Speaker 1>arrive with the stats, over beat cipher and spitting speeds,

0:41:31.440 --> 0:41:34.480
<v Speaker 1>you're dead wrong. Because I am the stable genius of

0:41:34.600 --> 0:41:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We had a pole question

0:41:37.239 --> 0:41:40.919
<v Speaker 1>up earlier today. It was who was the most impressive

0:41:41.360 --> 0:41:44.680
<v Speaker 1>winner from divisional round? Are they your super Bowl favorite?

0:41:44.960 --> 0:41:47.120
<v Speaker 1>If you think about it, obviously the options are the Eagles,

0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:49.239
<v Speaker 1>the Pats, the Jags, and the Vikings. Those are the

0:41:49.280 --> 0:41:52.279
<v Speaker 1>final four in the NFL. I was a little surprised

0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:56.560
<v Speaker 1>by the response. Forty three percent of you say the

0:41:56.719 --> 0:42:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville Jaguars with the most impressed. If team listen, that

0:42:01.520 --> 0:42:04.040
<v Speaker 1>defense everybody's been talking about, did give give up forty

0:42:04.040 --> 0:42:06.560
<v Speaker 1>two points to the Pittsburgh Steelers. We'll see what they

0:42:06.560 --> 0:42:10.359
<v Speaker 1>can do against New England. Percent say the Pats were

0:42:10.360 --> 0:42:15.560
<v Speaker 1>most impressive, percent say the Vikings, seven percent say the Eagles.

0:42:15.560 --> 0:42:18.319
<v Speaker 1>The Vikings listen, they were impressive at home, but they

0:42:18.400 --> 0:42:21.520
<v Speaker 1>leave the friendly confines. Everyone thought that the Vikings were

0:42:21.520 --> 0:42:25.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna be home field throughout the entire playoffs because they

0:42:25.120 --> 0:42:26.960
<v Speaker 1>thought that the Eagles will get knocked off. But the

0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Vikings go on the road where they are still road

0:42:29.120 --> 0:42:32.480
<v Speaker 1>favorites against the Philadelphia Eagles. We will be talking about

0:42:32.520 --> 0:42:34.680
<v Speaker 1>that all week long. But I want to do now

0:42:34.760 --> 0:42:38.120
<v Speaker 1>is go to the hashtag stats over beat Cipher bringing

0:42:38.120 --> 0:42:40.560
<v Speaker 1>our boy Danny, who was down there in the fantasy

0:42:40.640 --> 0:42:43.839
<v Speaker 1>pit of misery. How's your weekend, Danny? How's it going? Man?

0:42:43.840 --> 0:42:47.880
<v Speaker 1>What do people saying? What's good? Which weekend was great?

0:42:48.080 --> 0:42:49.480
<v Speaker 1>It was pretty good. It was pretty good. You know.

0:42:49.480 --> 0:42:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm still getting back, you know, from Asia, getting my

0:42:51.640 --> 0:42:54.400
<v Speaker 1>time back and getting myself organized. You know, kind of

0:42:54.400 --> 0:42:57.200
<v Speaker 1>really feel like now is the start of me back

0:42:57.280 --> 0:42:59.200
<v Speaker 1>at the grind, you know. But a lot of football,

0:42:59.200 --> 0:43:02.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of good stuff that's good. So yeah, we

0:43:02.640 --> 0:43:06.320
<v Speaker 1>are kind of all over the place. Just like its freestyle,

0:43:06.320 --> 0:43:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm down for whatever. So strong style Ninja's been waiting

0:43:09.520 --> 0:43:12.200
<v Speaker 1>in the style that is My boy was one of

0:43:12.320 --> 0:43:15.200
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorites. UM Saints and Vikings game was

0:43:15.200 --> 0:43:17.759
<v Speaker 1>definitely the game of the week. I can't really argue

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:19.520
<v Speaker 1>with that. No, absolutely, we were saying that was going

0:43:19.560 --> 0:43:20.880
<v Speaker 1>to be the game of the week. I said that

0:43:20.880 --> 0:43:22.600
<v Speaker 1>that was the one I was most looking forward to,

0:43:23.000 --> 0:43:25.120
<v Speaker 1>and it you know, it was a sixty minute game,

0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:27.480
<v Speaker 1>to be sure, even when they were down seventeen nothing.

0:43:27.680 --> 0:43:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I thought that the Saints still had a chance. And listen,

0:43:30.000 --> 0:43:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I hold true to my thesis. I'd rather have Breeze

0:43:32.160 --> 0:43:34.440
<v Speaker 1>in any of these quarterbacks. It's just, you know, fate

0:43:34.600 --> 0:43:36.719
<v Speaker 1>got in the way. Yeah. So we got a couple

0:43:36.760 --> 0:43:40.680
<v Speaker 1>of Super Bowl predictions. We got Vikings and Jags in

0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl. See, I guess right now. And you know,

0:43:43.440 --> 0:43:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna review my picks a little bit later on

0:43:45.719 --> 0:43:47.719
<v Speaker 1>in the week because you know, I gotta I gotta

0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:50.479
<v Speaker 1>make it up against the kids, obviously, So I gotta

0:43:50.480 --> 0:43:52.080
<v Speaker 1>see who the kids pick and see if I can

0:43:52.120 --> 0:43:55.080
<v Speaker 1>go up. You know, outside, I think most people you know,

0:43:55.200 --> 0:43:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Vikings Jags was that pick? Huh. I think the most

0:43:58.160 --> 0:44:02.960
<v Speaker 1>popular pick is going to be Patriots Vikings. You know,

0:44:03.040 --> 0:44:05.440
<v Speaker 1>that's what I think will be the popular The Patriots

0:44:05.440 --> 0:44:07.799
<v Speaker 1>are actually nine point favorites at home. The Vikings are

0:44:07.840 --> 0:44:10.400
<v Speaker 1>favorites even on the road. I think those are the favorites.

0:44:10.440 --> 0:44:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the favorite will be Patriots Vikings with and

0:44:13.600 --> 0:44:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and remember if the Vikings are at home, this is like,

0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:19.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, tickets will go through the roof the price

0:44:19.360 --> 0:44:22.920
<v Speaker 1>of these tickets, you know, So that's really interesting. Yeah,

0:44:22.960 --> 0:44:26.240
<v Speaker 1>the The other one we got was Pats and Eagles. Yeah, listen,

0:44:26.480 --> 0:44:28.279
<v Speaker 1>I was big on the Eagles early. I mean I

0:44:28.320 --> 0:44:31.000
<v Speaker 1>think the Patriots, you know, can the Eagles do what

0:44:31.040 --> 0:44:32.480
<v Speaker 1>they will be at home? That would be the home

0:44:32.480 --> 0:44:35.680
<v Speaker 1>teams getting it there. And could Nick Foles wind up

0:44:35.719 --> 0:44:39.040
<v Speaker 1>going you know, will Nick Foles, Case Keenum or Blake

0:44:39.080 --> 0:44:41.759
<v Speaker 1>Bortles wind up being in the Super Bowl. This is

0:44:41.800 --> 0:44:44.359
<v Speaker 1>something we gotta keep an eye on. Danny. I hear

0:44:44.400 --> 0:44:47.000
<v Speaker 1>that our boy Chris Ventra might be back for the

0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Pit of Misery tomorrow. Is that correct? I believe

0:44:50.080 --> 0:44:52.400
<v Speaker 1>he will be back in tomorrow because you know, I

0:44:52.440 --> 0:44:56.839
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen Chris Ventra in the Years team, and so

0:44:56.920 --> 0:44:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I want to definitely chop it up with him about

0:44:58.800 --> 0:45:01.360
<v Speaker 1>his picks, see how he's doing Visa VI the kids

0:45:01.360 --> 0:45:04.120
<v Speaker 1>who out picked him in this weekend. And also, you

0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:06.839
<v Speaker 1>know there is still some cold Beasley Levy on Bell

0:45:07.200 --> 0:45:10.799
<v Speaker 1>Chris venture lyricism for us to talk about. You think

0:45:10.800 --> 0:45:14.799
<v Speaker 1>maybe he's avoiding Fantasy Freestyle. I think it's definitely a possibility.

0:45:15.600 --> 0:45:18.560
<v Speaker 1>And well, hopefully hopefully he comes back and and Danny

0:45:18.560 --> 0:45:20.440
<v Speaker 1>will be happy to have you back a little bit

0:45:20.520 --> 0:45:22.720
