00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Business of Sports. COVID has been so

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: devastating and to see thirty eight thousand people of Henry Park,

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: it was really emotional and rewarding. From the business side,

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: from ticket sales to jersey sale, the revenues are up.

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: Everything was really good as well as solids there. I

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: realized that at the beginning of twenty nineteen would be

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: a very unique opportunity in terms of a lot of

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: contracts being up at the same time a lot of

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: sighting young wrestlers being available to go out and start

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: a wrestling company. The country is finally deeply getting the

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: memo about how amazing the sport is. I think the

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: sky's a limit for MLS. Bloomberg Business of Sports from

13
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Radio. Welcome to the Bloomberg Business of Sports podcast.

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: We're here every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. You know, you know,

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: you know what today is. That's right, it's not just

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: Prince Spaghetti Day. It is Fantasy Football Sports Day. And

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: Rich Truman he's out, he is feeling under the weather.

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: Get well, Rich. Of course, We've got two more geniuses here.

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: We've got Damien sass Hour in Bailey Lipscholtz and for

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: Rich who is also another genius. And I'm just gonna

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: write down what they all say. I want to start,

22
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: first of all, with quarterback issues. And I may have

23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: made the pickup of the week because I needed a

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: quarterback desperately because Cam Newton I believe was going to

25
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: be out. So I'm like, oh no, what am I

26
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: gonna do? So I picked up the Giants Mike Glennon

27
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: because I think he's going to play because Danny Dimes

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: has a neck injury. Damien, what do you think? Well,

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: you gotta understand we play in a super flex league,

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: so we start two quarterbacks. That's how we're talking about,

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, quarterback depth here. But the quarterbacks, I really

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: had my eye on a car and Wentz. I mean,

33
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,279
Speaker 1: for a single quarterback league, those are the guys with Rogers.

34
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm by Tannhell, I'm by as you rightly mentioned, camon

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: By this week. You know, those are the guys that

36
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: I think most people are going to be looking at.

37
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you want to just talk about

38
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: the injuries, look at that running back spot. I mean McCaffrey,

39
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: cook Swift all done and done. That opens the door

40
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: for guys like Madison Hubbard and Jamal Williams, and those

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: are probably the three guys that you want to be

42
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: targeting on the wire this week, Bailey, you see anybody

43
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: good out there, It's like, man, I gotta get this guy.

44
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: I mean, if you haven't gotten her, if they're still available,

45
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: you have to chase Madison or Jamal Williamson. But you

46
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: gotta assume they're taking Tedvin Coleman is one that I

47
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: think could be an interesting play for the New York

48
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: jest with Michael Carter out going into the Eagles team

49
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: that has been hit or miss could be a pretty

50
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: ugly game here in New Jersey. Um, but I think

51
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: those are the bigger as. In terms of quarterbacks, I'm

52
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: most interested to see how Tayson Hill. Yeah, Tayson Hill

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: is looking pretty good for quarterback. B Yeah. And that's

54
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: gonna be just a shootout game, just slinging it all

55
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: over the place. And I could see that happen where

56
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna have a high over Damien. There

57
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: are a lot of games out there that I'm looking

58
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: at that you know what, this is not bad? No,

59
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: I mean Dallas, New Orleans, that's one. I mean up Atlanta,

60
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: even though Atlanta is probably gonna struggle in that that's

61
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: supposed to be a high scoring affair. And then I

62
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: mean the two the two that I have my eyes on.

63
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the Washington football team versus at Las Vegas

64
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: should be should be, uh, should generate a bunch of points.

65
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: And then the charges in Cincinnati. I mean, that's the

66
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: game of the week for me in terms of fantasy output.

67
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: And so yeah, you know the guys, I mean, look

68
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: a few other injuries that we just can't ignore. Deebo Samuel,

69
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: I mean that opens the door from Brenda nayuk Um

70
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: while we're obviously down. Uh. If you're looking for some

71
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: tight end help, you can pick up Foster Moreau. I

72
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: believe he should be out there in most leagues. But

73
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: then there are a lot of others that are kind

74
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: of questionable. Michael. I mean, you've got Hurts, Miles Sanders,

75
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, Darrell Henderson, oh, b J. You know. I mean,

76
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of questionable guys out there, So you're

77
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: really gonna have to go deep looking for for some

78
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: help into week Thirteam Bailey, you talking about tight ends,

79
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: what about Jack Doyle or Quinn Martin production. I love

80
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: that name. Yeah, Doyle has actually been playing pretty solid.

81
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: And obviously people know um in the past that Carson

82
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: wants us to throw to the tight ends, that you're

83
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: a bit more of the Michael Pittman Show. But talking

84
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: about tight ends, I really like Pat fire move to

85
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: tight end from the Pittsburgh Steelers. A lot of people

86
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: compaim the Heath Miller um going up against the Baltimore

87
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: secondary that has really struggled moving the bottom three of

88
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: covering tight ends at least in UM non PPR leagues.

89
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: And if Logan Thomas, a guy coming off an injury,

90
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: is available in the league, I think you have to

91
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: grab him for the Washington football team again. Another matchup

92
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: with the Las Vegas Raiders, a team that really has

93
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: struggled with matching up with tight ends. Again. Let me

94
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: name the four teams that are on to buy Cleveland,

95
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Tennessee, Carolina. Anybody on those teams coming up

96
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: this week, get them out of your lineup because you're

97
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: gonna lose. You're gonna get a big fat old zero

98
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: like I did one year many years ago, which I

99
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: will never do again. And I'm not gonna tell you

100
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: the story how it happened, but it does involve a

101
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: few beers anyway. Defenses, Uh, guys, you know, I'm surprised

102
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: I am saying this, and I was reading about, you

103
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: know what other experts are saying also, and then when

104
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: I thought about it, the Miami Dolphins defense, that's not

105
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: too bad. Damn no, no, no, not at all, not

106
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: at all. And I mean, let they've got that match

107
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: up against the Giants and and that should be okay.

108
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean I like the Eagles defense personally against the Jets. Again,

109
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: anyone against the Jets, that's my motto. You know, it's

110
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: all it's not all bad news though. On the injury front, right,

111
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we are gonna see some guys come back.

112
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: We should see the Cowboys get their receivers back, and

113
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: we might even see Kyler Murray and uh and d

114
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: Hop returned to the field in Arizonta. So you know,

115
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: those are guys who have probably been on your bench.

116
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: You probably want to get them back in your lineup.

117
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: On the receiver front. One thing I do have to

118
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: mention a little stash and pray. Calvin Ridley has been

119
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: dropped in a lot of leagues. So if you're looking

120
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: for a little help and your team that's on the

121
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: rise looking to make the playoffs and make a move

122
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: that might be one that could set you over the top. Bailey,

123
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: I gotta win this week. Any knowledge you can lay

124
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: on me, I think in terms of defenses, if you

125
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: can get your hands on the forty Niners defense against

126
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, who looks like a Shelton self, or um

127
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, the Dolphins against Mike Lennon led uh

128
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: New York Giants team that has really struggled to move

129
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: the ball have to be locked Another potential I R

130
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: staff that I have had my eye on and have

131
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: actually picked up in a couple of weeks DeVante Parker Um,

132
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: whose di are eligibly as he played obviously in the

133
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 1: number of weeks for a Dolphins team that has really

134
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: been hot and cold. But that's another guy that I

135
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: think if you have a playoff spot locked up or

136
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: have an open spot on your I R and means

137
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 1: available to what's grating right now. At least the Jets

138
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: and the Giants won this past weekend. You know who

139
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: didn't They were leading up until one second left the

140
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, and of course direct Thanksgiving because I was

141
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: yelling at the television set and everybody's like, what's wrong,

142
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: what's wrong? And I said the Lions. They've just lost

143
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: the game. And they said, oh, that's all anyway. Davien
