20
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: sports and the playoffs, and let me take a second

21
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: here to talk about your day the Dallas Cowboys. Okay, no,

22
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: let's not do that. I I correctly predicted the game,

23
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: the score of that game on NFL Fantasy Live. What

24
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: the we And I'll tell you something. It just makes

25
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: me sick to be a Cowboys fan at this point.

26
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: It really makes me sick to be a Cowboys fan

27
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: at this point. And I know there's a lot of

28
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: Giants fans out there and they gotta be love in life. Um,

29
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna love life this this

30
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: weekend when they're playing in the Atlanta Falcons, which is

31
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: gonna be one heck of a game, one heck of

32
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: a matchup. But from a fantasy perspective, um, what are

33
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: you looking for this weekend? You're looking for a lot

34
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: of high scoring games? Are you looking for the continued

35
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: success of quarterbacks not named Tony Romo because he's not

36
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I'm not looking for high scoring games.

37
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: And in fact, I want to let our listeners in

38
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: on a little something behind the scenes here. You know,

39
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: usually every week FABS and I go with the formula.

40
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: We always had the Fantasy Cantina. We'll still have that.

41
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: We like to hit news at the top. But we

42
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: had a whole formula planned out for today and we

43
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: basically I'm the quarterback right now and FABS as a coach,

44
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: and I just decided to audible all the first fifteen

45
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: plays that FABS did. And I have no idea what

46
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: ron I'm running at this point, so I have no clue.

47
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: So we're just gonna kinda play this one by year.

48
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: We're flying on instruments here, but actually we're gonna talk

49
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: a lot of playoff football. We're gonna talk about who

50
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: you draft next year because we did a mock draft

51
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: on the show with Adam Rank and Jason Smith from

52
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. I still have the results right here

53
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: in front of me. Want to go over some of

54
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: those picks. You know what I want to talk about.

55
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: Two Um, sorry to cut you off there, my man,

56
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: but I want to talk about trades and and not

57
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: only just in fantasy football, but in fantasy sports overall,

58
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: little strategy, the strategy and more more moreover, uote moreover,

59
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: whether or not commissioners should be allowed to overturned trades

60
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: that aren't completely asinine. I've been in leagues where trades

61
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: have been overturned either by league vote or by commissioner

62
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: that completely ended up being wrong decisions. Let me give

63
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: you an example in a fantasy basketball league that I'm

64
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: playing in, because I do delve into other fantasy sports poorly, No,

65
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: I do well. I sold high on Brandon Jennings and

66
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: I got Dirk now Whiskey, and everyone in the league

67
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: flipped out, Um, whatever the heck his name is. Then,

68
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: so I ended up having a trade Iguada Andrea Goodala

69
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: instead to get Dirk what's his name? So I contend

70
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: that I tried to sell high on Brandon Jennings and

71
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: that that was a fair deal because they were averaging

72
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: the same number of fantasy points at that point in

73
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: the season based on our scoring system. Now, I'm gonna

74
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: give you a few fantasy football examples, okay, and I

75
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: actually want to get callers to call in and give

76
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: their opinions on this. When a XM Fantasy two. Nice

77
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: reading there. I learned from you because last year, okay,

78
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: Elliot Harrison and Michael Fabiano were in a fantasy league.

79
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: I say, Elliott, I'm gonna offer you Chris Johnson and

80
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson and I want back and Foster and Brandon Lloyd.

81
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: Everyone in the league would have gone nuts. You can't

82
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: trade the best running back in the best wide receiver

83
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: in fantasy football for Aran Foster. Who the heck is that?

84
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: And Brandon Lloyd. Well guess what, Arian Foster and Brandon

85
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: Lloyd combined to score more Fantasy points than the duo

86
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: of Johnson and Johnson this season. Now, I'm not saying

87
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: this is not something that a commissioner would have overturned,

88
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: because even as a commissioner, I would have overturned it.

89
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: But in Week one, if Elliott Harrison and Michael Fabiano

90
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: played in the Fantasy Football League and I said, Elliott,

91
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: I want Honre Johnson, you trade me back leron Robinson,

92
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: everyone would have went crazy. And as as a commissioner,

93
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: I would have said, listen, you can't do that. Do

94
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: you know the Ron Robinson scored a hundred and ten

95
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 1: more Fantasy points in here? Johnson? Can I play Devil's

96
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: advocate here? Though? Because you could also use that as

97
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: an excuse for every bad deal. It's kind of like

98
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: Hitler saying that Poland invaded Germany. You know, I mean

99
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: you could use that is is you know, you could say, hey,

100
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, look at that this guy outscored this guy

101
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: in this season and nobody was expecting that. Nobody expected

102
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: Priest Holmes to be a beast into But don't you

103
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: have to have a little bit of intention for the

104
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: future when you make a trade. Absolutely, but there are

105
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: some people that are just a heck of a lot

106
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: smarter than others. And even in the NFL, Roger Goodell

107
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: could veto or or in fact, I believe in all

108
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: the sports the commissioners have with the christ you would

109
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: like to research that exactly what each of the commissioner's

110
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: veto powers are in the in the four major sports,

111
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: they all have a certain level of it. What kind

112
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: of approval they have to get from the owners, I

113
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: don't know off hand, but but I think it's personally.

114
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: I think it's important for commissioner have vito power. I

115
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: know there are some people that play in leagues that

116
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: they don't have it at all. They're like, hey, you

117
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: make a trade and you get one pulled over on you,

118
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: that's your problem, exactly. And that's the way that I

119
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: run my League's the only way that I protect people

120
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: is that Again, if in Week one Aaron Rodgers was

121
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: traded for Josh Johnson, Okay, I'm not letting that trade

122
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: go through. But when you're talking about players with at

123
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: least similar value in that year, to veto that trade

124
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: or to have people in the league vote against it,

125
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: you're basically taking away. Number One, you're insulting the intelligence

126
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: of one of the people in the trade. Number two,

127
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: you're taking away the strategy of selling higher buying low.

128
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: Another example in the NFL Network League, I made a

129
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: trade with Jason Smith, who was one of our colleagues

130
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: here in NFL Fantasy. But what happened at the end,

131
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: he still came out better. No, I didn't, he came

132
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: out So here's the trade was. The trade was, I

133
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: got Marie Jones Drew, and I got Dwayne Bow and

134
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: I traded Steve Smith of the Panthers James Starks and

135
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Grant. Now, yes, Marie Stones Drew was great. He

136
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: was fantastic, but he wasn't great until the second half

137
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: of the year. He had a few games in the

138
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: beginning year where he was okay, not terrible, not great.

139
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: Steve Smith had a fantastic season fantastic season, and Ryan

140
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: Grant ended up making an impact towards the end of

141
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: the year when James Starr Scott hurt. The bottom line

142
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: is that people didn't like the trade and some people

143
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: wanted to overturned. But what about that trade is overturnable?

144
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: I I agree with you on one point. I disagree

145
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: with you on the other. I don't think the trade

146
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: is overturnable. I did at the time, right, I'll admit

147
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: that one. However, I disagree with you on Ryan Grant

148
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: making an impact at the end of the year. In

149
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: m j D evings a little bit. No, no, no, no.

150
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: M j D was so so early on, and then

151
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: he got real hot. Because Ryan Grant did not make

152
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: enough of an impact to help anybody. He wouldn't have

153
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: helped my teams. I mean, I'm I'm going in the playoffs.

154
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: I barely lost in the semifinal, barely, only because Jake

155
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: Ballard got hurt. Ryan Grant couldn't have scratched my lineup

156
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: if he tried, and I was rolling with two backup

157
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: running backs already. He couldn't have even beaten my backup

158
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: running backs. Grant right, Grant did score over twenty fantasy

159
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: points in the first round of the Fantasy playoffs with

160
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: Starks alien and out of action, so he did make

161
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: an impact there. One game in Week fifteen he scored

162
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: over ten points, which if you're using him as a

163
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: flex then that's that that's not a bad better to

164
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: your fort c Smith was certainly better than Dwayne Bow.

165
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was so bad. He scored five

166
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns all year. I'll give you the numbers. Steve Smith

167
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns, d eighty five fantasy points, Dwyanne Bow had

168
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: a hundred forty seven and Jones Drew is phenomenal two

169
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: D sixty two fantasy points, which is just unreal. But again,

170
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: it's a trade that someone's always making out in a trade.

171
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: Someone's always making out a trade. Uh, and some people

172
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: would opie met its one side. You definitely made out

173
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: in that trade. But it's not an overturnable trade. The

174
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. With the dearth, well, listen, I'll

175
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: give you credit for making a smart deal for your team,

176
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: no question. With the dearth of running backs to get

177
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: twenty carries in this league, I don't know why I

178
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: say in this league as if we're playing UFL fantasy football.

179
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: But Maurice Jones Drew is an anomaly. He's not He's

180
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: not the regular, Whereas Steve Smith is not an anomaly.

181
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: He had a great fantasy season, but Victor Cruise had

182
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: a better one. You know, I mean, there just aren't

183
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: a lot of guys running around like m J think. Yeah,

184
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: that's the first thing. The second thing is Jason Smith

185
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: came out lucky in the sense that when you made

186
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: that deal, Tyler Palko wasn't starting. We couldn't foresee that

187
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: Matt Castle was gonna get hurt, that Kyle Orton was

188
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: going to break his finger against Chicago. Had those either

189
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: one of those things not happened, that would have been

190
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: a far more one side. But isn't that the thing, though, Elliott.

191
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: That's see into the future, and that's why you can't

192
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: overturn trades that aren't just absolutely completely sure, it's horrible

193
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: or if you see some kind of collusion going on,

194
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: I get it. But using your Aaron Rodgers for Josh

195
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: Johnson deal, if Aaron Rodgers gets hurt the next week

196
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: and Josh Johnson ends up playing because Josh Freeman keeps

197
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: going interceptions and somebody could say, hey, that deal was

198
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 1: totally fair. You never know the future. Sometimes you have

199
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: a you have to air on the side of caution

200
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: when you're using that argument, and in your case, yeah,

201
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: that's absolutely right. But when you're talking about players with

202
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: equal value turned when you when you talk about their position.

203
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: At the beginning of the year, people worried about Marie

204
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: jones drew knee and the knee surgery, and there was

205
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: all these rumors about microfracture, which obviously he was fantastic,

206
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: it didn't affect him whatsoever, and he busted my stones

207
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: a little bit on NFL Fantasy Live about that. But

208
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: Steve Smith was also a top ten fantasy option at

209
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: his position this year. Steve Smith actually finished six in

210
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: fantasy points. Jones Drew finished third and fantasy points. So

211
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I didn't get the better end of

212
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: the deal. I wouldn't make a trade unless I got

213
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: the better end of the deal. My thing here is that,

214
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: and this goes across all sports, whether it's baseball, basketball, football, hockey,

215
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. In a fantasy league, that

216
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: trade should not be overturned unless they are drastically just

217
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: ridiculous and or there's serious collusion involved in a trade.

218
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: Can I just make a statement about your shirt? You

219
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: like my shirt? Dick Van Patton for made is enough

220
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: allowing his shirt back. I've gotten compliments on this shirt

221
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: actually today because everyone's so used to me coming in

222
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: here with a suit and I got jeans on. I

223
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: got blue and white checkered. Yeah, I mean, did you

224
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: did you like rip off one of the hardy boys.

225
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: It's not like it's a jumpsuit or anything like that,

226
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's an Express shirt. Man. Well,

227
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: if it's Express, then you don't like Express. I actually

228
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: do I have an Express jacket? You probably have an

229
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: Express credit card too. Moreover to your to your point

230
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: on the trades, But I do want to get people

231
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: to call in on this. Yeah. No, I am definitely

232
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: curious to see what people think for me. I don't

233
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: find any I I play fantasy for enjoyment, I really do.

234
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: I don't have the killer instinct to win like I do.

235
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't, and that's okay. That's what makes you an

236
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: eye different. However, that that doesn't mean that I can't

237
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: give out advice. My team is just very very well

238
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: this year. I just choose to play for fun. I

239
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: don't have the mentality of I have to win at

240
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: all costs. I think that you can win both ways. Uh,

241
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: but I will say that trades take out the enjoyment.

242
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: For me, I find far more enjoyment and looking on

243
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: the waiver wire and trying to patch work my lineup

244
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: when guys are hurt or playing matchups that aren't beneficial.

245
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: Are looking at that little tiny thing that other people

246
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't think of, like maybe win conditions at you know,

247
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: Paul Brown Stadium when you're starting Ben Roethlisberger and saying, hey,

248
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm sitting in my quarterback or if

249
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: you have that kicker, you're sitting that kicker because the

250
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: win conditions or whatever. I enjoy those little I guess

251
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: you'd call it minutia, a fantasy more than trades, although

252
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: I recognize that trading is far more popular to people

253
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: than its matchups kicks. I love trades like to me,

254
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: trades are just one of the best parts of fantasy sports,

255
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: not only just football. I love and listen, I love

256
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: when I think I robbed somebody, and sometimes I get

257
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: robbed in the end. You know that just happens uh,

258
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: you think you make a great trade. It's almost like

259
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: the Peyton Manning situation that I had remember in my

260
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: league earlier in the year. We didn't know if Peyton

261
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: was going to be back or not, and I drafted

262
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: him in the fifth round and I thought that I

263
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: was golden, and unfortunately I actually still won that league.

264
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: But that killed me because I was rolling with REXA.

265
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: Grossman in a whole beret of other mediocre quarterbacks before

266
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: I ended up getting some depth a running back and

267
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: trading for Cam Newton. But I think trades are so

268
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: much fun in fantasy sports. And to me, when you

269
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: get one or two whiney guys in your league that

270
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: complained about every single trade, I say, well, you're complaining

271
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: about that trade because you didn't make it. And when

272
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: other people influence. Unless it's a case where you're in

273
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: a league where there is just a guy that nobody,

274
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: everybody knows, he knows nothing about fantasy football. He's playing

275
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: because of just having fun. Everyone else is doing it

276
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: and people are offering him. Uh Rian Foster for the

277
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: Giants third string tight end Bear Pascal okay, and well

278
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: Bear Pasco maybe, of course, then you're gonna step in

279
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: But when you're talking about trades between two people who

280
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: clearly have expertise and knowledge and experience and playing fantasy sports. Again,

281
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: unless there's collusion involved, or unless it is just an

282
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: unbelievably ridiculous trade, man, I let trades go through. That's

283
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: just me to be worried when a bunch of thirty

284
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: five year old former Sigma kahs like still have their

285
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: fantasy draft every year and there's like one guy in

286
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: the league that nobody really likes. So then you have

287
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: that one turd of an owner who's sitting there at

288
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: two and four or one in five. They're top guys.

289
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: Kenny Britt and Jamal Charles are hurt and they know

290
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: they're not gonna do anything, so they trade their one

291
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: good player to another guy so that the guy they

292
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: don't like in the league can't win. Yeah, that's what

293
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's not fair. Again, that's collusion. That's a

294
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: collusion issue. But um that I mentioned, we have to

295
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: break no because we're gonna get more into this trade.

296
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: But let's talk more trade, Let's talk more postings and matchups.

297
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: You know what I want to talk about to Elliott

298
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: is the decline of the running back in fantasy football.

299
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: And that breaks my heart to say it because I've

300
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: been riding running backs ever since i started playing fantasy

301
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: sports like twelve years ago. Yeah, it is. It's uh,

302
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: it's pretty disappointing. It's disappointing for the sport as a whole.

303
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: I think they're running back by committee. Thing is getting

304
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: old for everyone, whether it's reality or fantasy bass. Yeah,

305
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: we'll get into that. We'll get into again the mock draft,

306
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: and of course we have the Fantasy Canteen at one.

Speaker 1: My best friend's girlfriend, uh, actually has a show, I

323
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: think on serious rock show. I can't think of what

324
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: the name of it is. And so she knows all

325
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: these bands. And by the end of the day, you know,

326
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: we're all so old, you know, in your thirties. It

327
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: sounds great. And then you get to the end of

328
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: the day when Molly Cruz is supposed to play, and

329
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: you just want to go home and watch Hunt for

330
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,280

331
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: are getting old, pal we speaking of speaking of getting old,

332
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: Elliot and I were in Beverly Hills yesterday and, uh,

333
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: what was the name of the place that we went to? Harrison.

334
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's one of these food it's one of

335
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: these places that is gluten free, gluten free and healthy

336
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: and everything else. And Harrison, Harrison digs that and I

337
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: need to start digging that too, because my stomach is lousy. Uh.

338
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: So we're walking there and I looked back at the

339
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: the restaurant and it's Bud Bundy. But Bundy's in there,

340
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: and I saw, I said a tweet out and put

341
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: on Facebook. I said, Hey, me and Harrison are in

342
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: here and Bud Bundy's in here. He's a little dude.

343
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: And he stuck off the back too, like do you

344
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: think I mean? And if Michael Fabiano was saying you're

345
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: a little and then you're a little dude, and uh

346
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: so that that to me? It was it was pretty funny.

347
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: And because I love that show, I would have clearly

348
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: preferred to see Christine Applegate or even you know, Ed O'Neill,

349
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: right Al Bundy, who was hilarious. But uh, I thought

350
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: that was that was pretty cool. That's part of the

351
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: thing I love about living in California that you can

352
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: just totally be anywhere and see some celebrity. And then

353
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: this woman sits next to me and Elliott and I

354
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: couldn't figure out who the heck she was for the

355
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: life of me, And I kept staring. I kept staring.

356
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: I wasn't staring like it was doesn't get around celebs much, Well,

357
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: I'm around you constantly, but uh, it was Alexandra Paul

358
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: who was on Baywatch, and she was in Dragnet, and

359
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: she was in Christine, the Stephen King movie, and I

360
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: knew that she was somebody, and I just think it's cool, man,

361
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: you know. And uh, people kept asking me on Facebook,

362
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: why didn't you take a picture of Bud Bundy And

363
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: I don't do that kind of thing. I don't want

364
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: to bother people. I just think it's cool. I walked

365
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: in and yeah she was. She was the hot girl

366
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: in Christine. She remember the good looking dude that was

367
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: that was friends with the nerdy guy that had the car. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

368
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: that was the girl. Well, the nerdy guy, that's right,

369
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: the nerdy guy. And Christine was also uh Melon's son

370
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: in Back to Schools exactly. Yep, yep, that was a

371
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: great movie. So back from Beverly Hills and Harrison, Harrison

372
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: being around all the celebrities and being a celebrity himself.

373
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: Let's get back to talk a little fantasy. Let's go

374
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: to the phone lines and talk to Jason in Pennsylvania,

375
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: who wants us to govern a trade. I like this,

376
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: this is a good tie into what I was talking about.

377
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: What's up, Jason, Hey, thanks for taking my call guys,

378
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: love love you on NFL Live watches on tape it

379
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: when I can do you tell school like on VHS

380
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: guy alone. I just wanted to know. Okay, sorry, So anyway,

381
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm the commissioner of the league that we've been doing.

382
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: It's a total points league, so you don't play anybody

383
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: against anybody. It's the point per reception. Had this trade

384
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: go through, and I basically at the beginning of the league,

385
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: I said to him that all the guys at the

386
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: live draft, which I love doing, um said to him,

387
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: I will let any trade go through unless it's ridiculous

388
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers for a kicker. And that's basically what

389
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: I said as the rule. Now, we don't have any

390
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: rules written or anything like that. It's kind of a

391
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, a friendly thing. There's some money involved, that

392
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: kind of thing. But so the trade went down. It

393
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: is like halfway to mid three quarters of the season.

394
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: The guy one of the guys that was trading and

395
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: got decimated by injuries. He lost job at the Timhi Tower,

396
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: um My Bradshaw Baba. Basically the only two guys you

397
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: really had good was Tom Brady Calvin Johnson. The other

398
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: guy trades four Tom Brady, Calvin Johnson and gives up

399
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: Eli Manning, Darren Sprowles, Andre Johnson, and Clomb Bolden Antonio Gates.

400
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: And I think there were somebody else, But you should

401
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: have seen the people go nuts about this trade, saying

402
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: that the guy that got Tom Brady and Calvin Johnson was,

403
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, getting the better end of the deal. Meanwhile,

404
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: the guy that traded you know, they're all about and

405
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: there's ten guys in the team. Both of these guys

406
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: were like five and six or seven at the time ranked,

407
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: And you know, I just I saw it as both

408
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: teams improving, but I had all kinds of flak and

409
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: I might be losing people because of this particular trade.

410
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't quite understand it because I

411
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: looked at it like as long as both teams are

412
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: improving and they both agreed upon. I thought the one

413
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: guy was given up too much, but he ended up

414
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: the guy that actually got Tom Brady and Calvin Johnson

415
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: did end up getting in second. I think, you know,

416
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of where people might have been upset. But um,

417
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, what what do you got? I mean,

418
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: you gotta think that was a fair trade. Do you

419
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: think it was I as a commissioner, a young commissioner

420
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: and only been doing fantasy for about three or four years.

421
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: You know, that's when I struggle with on different ways

422
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: to do this. And I love the conversation you guys

423
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: had earlier about the trade. So just calling in and

424
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: see it's get some advice from that, right well, Jason,

425
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: I actually gave Fabs the old hand signal here that

426
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 1: I wanted to take this one because I think I

427
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: think just from our first segment, you know where Fab

428
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: stands on trades. I'm gonna tell you that letting this

429
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: trade go through to me is the right thing to do,

430
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 1: because you have one guy whose team is decimated, so

431
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: if he doesn't fill out his roster, he's rolling with

432
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: Khalil Bell and uh Jabbar Gaffney and all these guys

433
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: that he's trying to fill in for his injured players.

434
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: So to me, I don't have a problem with his end,

435
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: and I don't have a problem with the guy that

436
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: only got Brady and Megatron because you're getting two of

437
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: the highest producers and Fantasy football. And so if you

438
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: see it as a commissioner and you say, okay, both

439
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: of these teams are improving, uh in their own unique way.

440
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: I know when you can't look at a trade in

441
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 1: a vacuum. You have to look at how that trade

442
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: serves to me the two teams that it's serving, so uh,

443
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: to me, it helps out both teams. You let it go,

444
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: but you gave me a great idea that if you're

445
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: the commissioner of a league and you have a bunch

446
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: of different kinds of owners that are very opinionated on

447
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: the trade issue, you should have an agreement that you

448
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: can call into serious Fantasy football, to NFL Fantasy Live

449
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: or to one of the other great shows and ask

450
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: them and if they say it's okay, it's okay because

451
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: we're unbiased. And Jason, when was that trade made? What

452
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: week that was made? When Andre Johnson was coming back?

453
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: That was the weird when Andre Johnson was coming back?

454
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: See his first camstring? Right? Was it? That makes this

455
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: trade even more fair? It makes it Listen, go ahead.

456
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: The twist is one of the guys that was trading

457
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: was me? And who did you get Brady and megatroaning? Okay,

458
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: I honestly, well, number one, you're the commissioner and I'm

459
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: the commissioner in several leagues, and I get st upon

460
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: constantly if I make moves that people think better my

461
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: team because it's me. Um, because I'm the commissioner. I

462
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: don't have any problem with this year. Number one Akron

463
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: Bolden was lousy all season long. This trade was basically

464
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: Eli Sprawls, a j who's coming off of injury, and

465
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: Gates who hadn't been all that great for Brady and Megatron.

466
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with it, um. Eli Manning

467
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: had a very good year up until the last couple

468
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: of weeks before he blew out our Cowboys, but that's

469
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: another story that was also in Week seventeen. Sprawls was

470
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: solid this year. Uh Antonio Gates again a guy this

471
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: this oh or that you made this trade with, wanted

472
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: to try to bulk up his roster for the stretch run.

473
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: He took a chance on Andrey Johnson and Elliott. When

474
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: Andrey Johnson had come back from that hamstring injury, he

475
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: was probably the second or third rated wide receiver on

476
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: our rankings that week. Why wouldn't he be right? I

477
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with it, I really don't. I

478
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with you being commission on a

479
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: problem with Jason, our caller being commissioner. I don't want

480
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: to be a commissioner because I'm a noncommittal male. And

481
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: well that's because you're good looking and all that. You

482
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: can't pick, but all these beautiful women that are falling

483
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: all over you. I have to. I have to commit

484
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: to the the time, into the arguments that being commissioner entails.

485
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: I just rather not do it, shirking responsibility. Don't we

486
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: have another caller? We we do? We have one caller

487
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: and then we have to go to our fantasy fixed.

488
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: Jim in Florida, you have a question about a playoff

489
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: draft pick. What's up, my man? Guys, thanks for taking

490
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: the call. You're welcome our fantasy draft tonight. I've got

491
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: the first pick. Uh. And the way we do what

492
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: is you only get the points for the actual games played,

493
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: so we don't double up on the by guys next

494
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: week or so. And UM, trying a way between Drew

495
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: Brees and Aaron Rodgers. UM, appreciate your your inside. I'm

496
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm guessing Rodgers is gonna get three games. I'm thinking

497
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: Breeze has a chance to do the same as well. UM,

498
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: and I guess looking at the matchups defense wise, and

499
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: opportunity of an upset from the Saints over the Packers,

500
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: like it's in a fourth game for Breeze because he's

501
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: playing this week and Rodgers isn't, but right, and because

502
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: it's cumulative games. I'll tell you something. Listen, maybe maybe

503
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: people would disagree with me, and and it's it's a

504
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: It's a good argument to go with Aaron Rodgers because

505
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: the guy is an absolute beast. He's the king of

506
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: fantasy football. But one number one seed from the NFC

507
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: has made it to the super Bowl since two thousand

508
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: and seven, and the NFL has become so unpredictable that

509
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: I feel like it's too easy to pick the Packers

510
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: to go to the super Bowl. That's why I'm going

511
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: with the Saints. Okay, maybe that's like the third most

512
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: obvious pick in the NFC because some people consider the

513
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: Niners number two. But doesn't it seem like every year

514
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: the hot team going into the playoffs is the one

515
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: that reaches the Super Bowl the Giants in two thousand

516
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: and seven, last year was the Packers, the Steelers a

517
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: few years back, and the Saints have won eight straight games.

518
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm rolling with Drew Brees, I don't blame you, and

519
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm going Drew Brees, I don't I don't blame you

520
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: at all, and and I understand the logic there. You know.

521
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: The interesting thing to me is, you know two thousand

522
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: nine the Saints and the Colts were the number one seeds,

523
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: and I know we need to break here. I went

524
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: back just in my head, and I again, good research this,

525
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: but just on the phone with you, going back in

526
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: my head, the last number one seeds that I could

527
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: think of, we're both the NFC and the a f C.

528
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: Number one seed played in the Super Bowl was the

529
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: rematch of Buffalo Dallas. Uh. Again, number one seeds are

530
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: no lock to go, and it's too easy to to

531
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: just pick the Packers. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm going with

532
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: the Saints. Though we have to break. We're gonna go back.

533
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: Get some more callers on the other side, trades more

534
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: trade running back. Next year's draft talk running backs. We've

535
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: got Fancy Cantina one. But right now it is time

536
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: for your Fantasy Fix. NFL Fancy Live every Wednesday, joining

537
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: you at twelve o'clock Pacific. Guitar. You don't even know

538
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: who it is. I don't it's Mr Big. You don't

539
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: know Mr Big. What I did. I watched on v

540
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: H one. I watched the hundred Greatest hard Rock Songs

541
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,239
Speaker 1: of All Time. I it got. I caught it at

542
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: like number forty one, and it's one of those deals.

543
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: They do twenty songs every hour, so it's a five

544
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: hour like marathon. So I caught it just before the

545
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: second to last hour. I got all the way to

546
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: number five, and I accurately predicted with the top four

547
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: would be. And it was really cool, I'll tay. It

548
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: was so great about the list. They sent a poll

549
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: out to different musicians and producers and whatnot, had them vote,

550
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: and so you had songs that weren't necessarily the most

551
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: popular song by that band that you hear a radio play,

552
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: but it's what musicians thought were the was the most

553
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: influential influence. It wasn't number one Welcome to the Jungle.

554
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: It was which I loved instead of Sweet Schild of Mine.

555
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: Not that not that it's necessarily a better song, but

556
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: it makes sense. It was the first video and it

557
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: has an incredibly unique sound. Welcome to the Jungle does

558
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: starting with that that guitar rip at the beginning and

559
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: then Axel's screaming the different changes in the song. And

560
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: what I also liked is like van Halen, who we

561
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: both love you with. The top ranked van Halen song

562
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: was I'm gonna give you five guesses and I'm not

563
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: gonna get it right. I think my van Halen or

564
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: van Haygun No, No van Halen Davidlye Roth Panama not

565
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: Panama Wrong album Really Hot for Teacher was the highest

566
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: ranked on that album, which I don't agree with. It

567
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: should have been Panama, but go ahead. Earlier van Halen

568
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: Chained Unchained Nope, I love that song. I love that

569
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: song too, James right album, Wrong song, got two more guesses.

570
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: I gotta google it. I gotta gotta google van Halen one.

571
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: It's on van Halen one. So just google van Halen

572
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: one song list And uh, I hope, I hope all

573
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: of our listeners out there like rock because we talk

574
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: rock so much. People probably hate us for that. But Okay,

575
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: there's just so many good songs on this one. Okay,

576
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: it's got to be. It's gotta be. Ain't talking about love.

577
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: It's not no running with the devil, the devil ye.

578
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: And it makes sense because it's the first song on

579
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: that album, and and it's got that slow hard you know,

580
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: yeah yeah to it. Yeah, I love it. I was

581
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna start humming it, but I didn't want to do it.

582
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: By the way, I hate the way I sound on

583
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: our I hope I sound good to all you guys

584
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: out there. But we both sound nasially. Dude, Oh you're

585
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: Southern nasially, I'm a north sound like a mixture of

586
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Play by play announcer in Dave Campo. Alright,

587
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: let's see if Nate from Pennsylvania sounds better than us. Nate,

588
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: you got a question about this upcoming weekend. What's up,

589
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: my friend? Yeah, I'd like to know. Uh, who is

590
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: the top six available fantasy players to pick from this

591
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: week's games? Regardless of position? Everybody in the Saints Light's game,

592
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: Like everybody? Are we talking regardless of position or or

593
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: just position? Well, okay, it's Drew Brees. There's a little

594
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: doubt about that, Drew Brees. If we're talking about just

595
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: production this week, Breeze, Stafford, Megatron, Colston. I know I'm

596
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: staying in the same game, but that's where all the

597
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: points are gonna be. Cincinnati and Houston, I mean, Arian

598
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: Foster had fifty four yards against the Bengals earlier this year.

599
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,479
Speaker 1: Bengals are no joke. Pittsburgh and Denver. Listen. As much

600
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: as I've loved Tebow, he's stunk out loud. The last

601
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Roethlisberger reaggravated his his ankle. I can't

602
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: see there being a lot of points scored in that game,

603
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: Champ Bailey, how do you not love Victor Cruz? Though?

604
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: The tough one. The Falcons can stop the run, but

605
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz is gonna eat that team up for breakfast.

606
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: He's great. But here's the thing. Are we are we

607
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: just talking wild card? Because no, we're just talking about

608
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: wild card. Then I think it's got to be Stafford, Breese, Colston.

609
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: Make a strong case for Jimmy Graham. I know he's

610
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: no but who he's been, he's great. He outscored most

611
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: widers this year. Calvin Victor Cruz, Right, that's that's a

612
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: tough one. That's a tough Julio Jones has been on

613
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: fire and the Giant's pass defense is not that good.

614
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: Roddy White, you mean the fact, oh would you take

615
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: Roddy Wide over Darren Sprawls Uh, if I'm just talking

616
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: this week, Yes you would. I would. That could be

617
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: a high scoring game two, depending on what the weather's like.

618
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: You know what, we're repending on the weather. We should

619
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: not poo poo Hakeem Knicks. I think Victor Cruz has

620
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: been so good as of late, but look at the

621
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: Keem Knicks's numbers this year, they're not far behind Victor Cruz.

622
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: And keep in mind and keep Knicks was on the

623
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: injury poured big surprise there, but he had a couple

624
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: of injury problems, a little nagging hamstring stuff. I still

625
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 1: think it Keem Knicks is their number one option. I do.

626
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: If he wasn't he was, Victor Cruz would not be

627
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: who he is. Nate, I think, I think we're going

628
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: Breeze Stafford, Megatron, Colston Cruise, and Roddy White. It really is.

629
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Julio Jones has been great. To keep in mind,

630
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson in the last him against the Saints, they

631
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: really really stopped him. He did very little. I think

632
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: he had sixty nine yards. They were rolling coverages to him. Well,

633
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: the Lions stopped themselves. They committed eleven or thirteen penalties

634
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: in that game. And so Burlison had three offensive passengers.

635
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: I remember that. You never seen that by himself. But

636
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: it's hard to not play Calvin Johnson. So I think

637
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: those are those are six guys. I think there's only

638
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: two games where you can expect high scoring. I think

639
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: you can expect high scoring game with the Saints. Clearly

640
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a barn burner. I think a high

641
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: scoring game could happen in New York depending on the weather,

642
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: if it was knowing if it's windy, if it's nasty,

643
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: then that goes out the window. Pittsburgh Denver could be

644
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: like a thirteen seven game Tebow I think, and again

645
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: I've been a big supporter of Tim Tebow, A big supporter,

646
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: maybe one of the biggest and Fantasy football. But you know,

647
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: I think maybe defenses are starting to figure him out.

648
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: If you basically collapse your defense, okay, and you stop

649
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: him from being able to take off and have him

650
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: beat you with his arm, he can't do it. He's

651
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: completed I think forty six percent of his path says

652
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: this year. And you love Tim tebowerad and fantasy, yes,

653
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: because the guy was phenomenal. So that's that's something that Uh,

654
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: that's something that I am very interested to see this weekend.

655
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 1: And you know what, the Steelers. A lot of people

656
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: are picking the Steelers go back to the super Bowl.

657
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: This team is not that strong right now. They just

658
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: barely beat the Browns. Roethlisberger reinjured himself. He's gonna play

659
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: because he's Roethlisberger. They've lost Rochard Mennenhall. Okay, Isaac Redman's

660
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: a nice backup. The defense is still playing well, but

661
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, out of the a f C,

662
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: it's gotta be the Ravens. I don't believe in the

663
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: Patriots or defense is just garbage. Well, let me let

664
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: me give you some numbers here. You know, our research

665
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: team in the NFL does a good job. The people

666
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: at ESPN do a good job. But sometimes you see

667
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: numbers and you realize that they're just numbers, and like

668
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: they will harken back to the well, the last time

669
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: these two teams played X y Z happen with the

670
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: Saints Alliance. I think you can pay attention to it

671
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: because the last time they played in New Orleans was December.

672
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a very recent matchup. In that game,

673
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: the Lions had eleven penalties for a hundred and seven yards.

674
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: They completely destroyed themselves. And you were talking about Calvin Johnson, Hey,

675
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: sixty nine yards? I think, right, yeah, let's see Calvin

676
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: Johnson six catches sixty nine yards. If you were a

677
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: PPR you did okay, But Darren Sprawls in that game. Okay,

678
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: he didn't go off, But just listen to this production.

679
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: He had thirteen point four Fantasy points, which is not

680
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: a bad game. Okay, he only had nine touches. Nine touches.

681
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: You're getting a you kidding me, You're getting a point

682
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: and I'm not even talking about PPR. You're getting a

683
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: point and a half fantasy production per touch. Very few

684
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: guys in fantasy can match that. And he's been like

685
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: that all stinking years. You know what's funny is that? Uh?

686
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: And and interesting that we did some research. Here are

687
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: guys Dan Sloshman, Corey Memory and those guys over at

688
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: our NFL Fantasy development team. The player who was on

689
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: the most winning NFL dot Com fantasy leagues was Calvin Johnson.

690
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: It's like, because the guy went off for three we

691
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: went two weeks in a row. It's three weeks and

692
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: percent of people who owned Calvin. That is a remarkable

693
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: because he had two games with over two hundred yards

694
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: and what do you have four touchdowns in his last

695
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: three games or something like that. I mean, he was fantastic.

696
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: He's now, he's now Andre Johnson. From a fantasy perspective,

697
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: he's the guy in the first round at wide receiver

698
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: that you could take. Well, let me just throw this

699
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: out regarding the wide receiver position. We always talk about

700
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: the Saints wide receiver by committee. They have a running

701
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: back by committee and a wide receiver by committee. But

702
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: I think we got to a point where we over

703
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: discussed it and didn't realize what was happening. Towards the

704
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: back end of the season. Marcus Colston truly established himself

705
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: as a big time receiver. Not that he hasn't done

706
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: that prior. I mean he's been doing it since two

707
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: thousand and six. But you know, you always say, Okay,

708
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: do I play Lance More? Do I play Colston? Who

709
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 1: you know, well More is banged up right now. Yeah,

710
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: Marcus Coulson last four games is averaging over a hundred

711
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: yards per game and he's had five touchdowns. Yeah, and

712
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: keep in mind that how many games did he missed?

713
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: This year. He missed what I think the better part

714
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: of three. He missed two and then he missed part

715
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: of a third I believe because he was not did

716
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: He still have eleven hunt yards and eight touchdowns. So

717
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: that is that's saying something. Nick Colson again, as Elliott

718
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: very uh very appropriately brought out, he was great seven eight,

719
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: seven and seven his last four games in catches. That's

720
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: it killing it so and I think he is a

721
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: he is a big time guy in any sort of

722
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: postseason fantasy league because of the guy throwing on the football.

723
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that have you said, have you

724
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,959
Speaker 1: seen Drew brees numbers in the last four or five weeks?

725
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 1: Let me let me give you a Drew Breeses numbers recently.

726
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: Last week he had three nine and five touchdowns, The

727
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: week before three oh seven and four to downs, the

728
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: week before four twelve and five touchdowns, fourteen touchdowns in

729
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: his last three games. Some guys don't get the four

730
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: team before the halfway part of the season. Uh. He

731
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: had a combined nine touchdowns in his previous three games.

732
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: So still twenty three touchdowns. He six games. Unbelievable, that's

733
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: almost four games. If you're if you're in some kind

734
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: of playoff fantasy league. I don't think there's any question

735
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: with either one of us whether you're getting cumulative or

736
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 1: we're just talking this week. I'll take Breeze either way.

737
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: The only headache you have with Drew Brees is how's

738
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: he gonna do if they have to go to the

739
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: Candlestick And that's something that Adam Rank brings up NFL

740
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live, one of our guys here, and I don't

741
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: think it matters in Candlestick because the weathers should be okay.

742
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: I think it matters if they have to go to

743
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: Green Bay because historically the Saints in the playoffs on

744
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: the road in a bad weather city like Chicag' Niners defense,

745
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: I mean, the Niners defense is the real deal. I

746
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: got to be honest with you. I'm not sold on

747
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: the night. You're not sold on offense. Can't keep up

748
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: with that Saint's offense. Maybe now I'm just I'm just

749
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: talking about low fantasy numbers. If you're expecting Breeze to

750
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: put up three, eight and five touchdowns on the forty Niners,

751
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: she can forget it. It's not happen right. But I

752
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: still think he can go for two or three. I

753
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't I'd say I really like Breeze.

754
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: I just think the guys on he's playing in another

755
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: less maybe maybe three into but but don't three touchdowns.

756
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: I think you're stretching it there. I really think you're

757
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: stretching it. I mean the forty Niners defense has been awesome.

758
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: I think their second and points allowed. He put up

759
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: three seventy and three on the Texas, who have a

760
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: good defense. Yeah, there's as Jason Smith likes to say,

761
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 1: there's a a drop off, there's a drop off. The

762
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: Niners defense has been awesome. What one rushing touchdown allowed

763
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: this year? Yep, that's insane. We predicted it and that's

764
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: that's an NFL record. Yeah. Oh, by the way, we

765
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: have to break. We're gonna talk a little mock draft

766
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: coming up, and then we have a Fantasy Cantina with

767
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: Adam Rank from NFL Fantasy Live of joining us. We're

768
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: gonna talk a little bit more trade action because FABS

769
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: just hasn't got enough of his venomount about this and uh,

770
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 1: it's interesting though. It's interesting though. We're glad you are

771
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: with us. NFL Fantasy Live Serious two ten XM eight

772
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: seven third they think of they shotgut it to Norwood

773
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 1: throws a pass back to the nearest cipher Clemmons, intercepted

774
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: by Terrell Brown and a touchdown saving tackle by Brandon

775
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: Lloyd at the thirty four yard line of St. Louis. So,

776
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels did open up the bag. It was a

777
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: handoff and then I'll throw back to the quarterback Clemmings.

778
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: But Jarius Norwood floated that ball high in the air.

779
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: Terrell Brown right and picked it off. And that's why

780
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: Jarius Norwood is an off injured tailbag. What's going on?

781
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: I have just said a strange transition there. What happened there? Yeah,

782
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened there, But uh uh, I'm

783
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: hearing a technical problem, and uh you're a technical problem.

784
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: You know what I'm doing right now? I am dating

785
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: you up with a Twitter account. It's about time, Harrison,

786
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: I go, It's about you guys have these Twitter accounts.

787
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: But I cannot let that fifty fifty song that was

788
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: best of both worlds. For those of you out that

789
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: didn't know this, Van Halen never had a number one

790
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: album with David Lee Roth. They never did. They were

791
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: two on the charts, and Purple Rain by Prince came out,

792
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: which was number one for seven straight weeks. Never made it.

793
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: Davidly Roth leaves the band like ten months later. Fifty

794
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 1: debuts at number one. How about that little drop knowledge?

795
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: And by the way, I asked for the forty niners.

796
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: Defense sought full their sound on tape because because I

797
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: love Defense and we've been talking about you. You rated

798
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: off Drew Brees. I know you're waiting to say something

799
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: about Twitter. Not write down your password. If you don't

800
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: write down password, I'm gonna make one up. Oh my gosh.

801
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: Uh you're you're you're hearing for the first time Elliot

802
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: Harrison joining Twitter. This is forcefully when he was joining

803
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 1: not write it down right, alright, right, went down right now, alright,

804
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: one down. So I love defense, I love it, and

805
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: you're rattling off Drew Brees numbers, and I gotta be

806
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: honest with you. There's part of me that hates that,

807
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: that hates that it's so easy to put up three,

808
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: eight and five touchdowns these days. Uh, you know, they

809
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 1: won't let defenses play, They won't let defensive backs play.

810
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 1: You know all these rules for player safety it affects

811
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: more than just player safety. I agree with what Roger

812
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: Goodell is trying to do. However, However, when you have

813
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 1: all these ticky tap calls, for example, dan Orloski uh

814
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: shrinking his body too, it's terrible. Then J J. Watt

815
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: getting terrible. Yeah, if the quarterback's touches down and the

816
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: defensive player's helmet happens to hit him when he intended to.

817
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: J just awful calls people. What people don't realize is

818
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: those calls extend drives. So an indirect result of that

819
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: is that quarterbacks numbers go up because now they have

820
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: a new set of downs to work with when they

821
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: would have been shut down on third down. I can't stand.

822
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: I hate seeing it. So I love what the Niners

823
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: did this year. What was it Marshawn Lynch had the

824
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: first rushing touchdown on them. I love that. I love

825
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 1: that a team can circumvent all these rules and still

826
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: just play. Navarro Bowman, Patrick Willis, Alden Smith, Justin Smith,

827
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: Carlos Rodgers, all those guys are playing ball. And I hope,

828
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: I hope if the Saints beat him, they have to

829
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: do it the old fashioned way. I hope they have

830
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: to run the ball. I hope they have to throw

831
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: screen passes. I hope they actually have to play some

832
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: defense and win seventeen. I think they're gonna avoid that altogether.

833
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: You're not gonna see too much of Pierre Thomas or

834
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: Darren Sprawls and m Ingram's done. So I have to

835
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: write a password down. Yes, talk, I'm gonna work on

836
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 1: a password. I just again, I'm just going by trends.

837
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 1: I love trends, and the trend in the National Football

838
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: League when it comes to the post season and the

839
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,919
Speaker 1: Super Bowl is the team that's the hottest typically makes

840
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: the run. The Saints have won eight games in a

841
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: row in any postseason fantasy league, including the NFL Fantasy

842
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: Playoff Challenge. I'm all in on the Saints, and you

843
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: have to pick a team, especially in our game, that

844
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: you think is going to go the furthest So I

845
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 1: love the Saints, and I know that's gonna be a

846
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: tough game again, assuming they beat the Lions, which I

847
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: think they will, when they go to San Francisco and

848
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: play it, what can be a very windy Candlestick Park

849
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 1: when they actually have power, they're right, is below sea level,

850
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: very slippery, Field I. I'm all in on the side.

851
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: We've got Fantasy CANTEENA coming up and we're supposed to

852
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:23,919
Speaker 1: join us. He'll be joining us. We're gonna be talking
