First off, I gotta say one welcome 22 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: to the show to um. You share a name with 23 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: another prominent football personality who recently had a Twitter feud, 24 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: and I just want to know if your mentions are 25 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: okay right now? Believe it well, thank you guys for 26 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: having me, and believe it or not, it was better 27 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: this time than previous times, and it was trending. People 28 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: were sending me screenshots of that, like, oh man, what'd 29 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: you do? And I don't like, it's not me? So 30 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: what what was What was the other Florio's Twitter beef about? 31 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: I didn't even know anything about that. It was I 32 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: think coronavirus related. If I'm not even fully sharing myself, 33 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: I try to keep my distance because people just attack 34 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: me for stuff I don't say. So why bother? Right, 35 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: you need to you need to, like, do you have 36 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: a middle name? Do? What is it? Frank? It needs 37 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: to be Mike F Florio? That f Florio way you 38 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 1: handle right? You just you are. You're distinguishing yourself from 39 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: the other Michael Florio the middle F and my Twitter 40 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: handle does nothing I likes and they still just think 41 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: I'm that guy. Well, I think the part of it 42 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: is that one the the Pro Football Talk Mike Florio 43 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: doesn't tweet under his name. He tweets under the Pro 44 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: Football Talk handle. So I think when people get mad, 45 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: they know that it's Mike Florio, and I think when 46 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: they just google Mike Florio Twitter, your name comes. He 47 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: should have his own account, because, yeah, he tweets from 48 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: the Pro Football one, and then everyone who gets mad 49 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: at him tweets at me. Um, you're on the long 50 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: You're on the list of people who have names with 51 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: other people who do unfortunate things. I mean, you know, 52 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: it's it's I know, it's frustrating on Twitter when when 53 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: somebody with your name that's something that draws public scorn 54 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: and then you have to sort of deal with the 55 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: backlash that that sucks. See, I'm lucky. The other Michael 56 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: Fabriano is an opera singer, so I always get tagged 57 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: in these uh sort of performance Statesbriano performing at this 58 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: place on this date, and then he gets, you know, 59 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: he gets about where where Russell Wilson should be draft right, 60 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure he gets he gets angry tweets about people 61 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: that you know, you gave me bad advice or something, 62 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: you know, exactly. Uh man, somebody who doesn't give bad 63 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: advice and just helps us out all the time.

Oh well, so Mike, Mike Diego right yeah, way, wait, 73 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: how how many other Yankees that have Warren number two? 74 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: Can you name? How about Dale Barraw? I mean I 75 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: honestly don't even know. I mean they've all been lost 76 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: to history because Derek. Yeah, so he's from the town 77 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: and uh, he actually just sold his childhood home is 78 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: it's been in his family for years, and he built 79 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: on the property and like typical Jeter fashion, very very 80 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: big castle like uh facility going on there. It's like 81 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: a compound. But he actually recently just sold like two 82 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: years ago from like seventeen million dollars, so maybe we 83 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: started pulling our money together we could. Is that is 84 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: that whethy home run sculpture from the Marlins Park ended up? 85 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: Did he just take it down to it right? Yeah, 86 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: right right where little the water hit his his brick wall. 87 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: That's where he put the um No. One big special 88 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: topic for today's show. We got Florio on. I just 89 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: wanted him to be part of our conversation. There were 90 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: just a handful of headlines that have popped up in 91 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 1: the last week or so since we last talked to 92 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: you all. Um, I just felt like would be kind 93 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: of interesting to get Florio's take on as we just 94 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: kind of backed them around. So we're just gotta jump in. 95 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: The First thing is there are a couple of big name, 96 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: fantasy relevant, fantasy coveted wide receivers who were in the 97 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: news recently. Josh Gordon has applied for reinstatement. I know 98 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: this feels like I'm, you know, talking to you from 99 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: like or nineteen, but I'm not. Uh. He has applied 100 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: for reinstatement. Meanwhile, the Ravens and the Seahawks have both 101 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: admitted that they've had internal discussions about Antonio Brown and 102 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: possibly signing him. Uh, Florio, I will start with you 103 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: as the guests this week. Do either of those names 104 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: excite you? Is the one that you'd rather take a 105 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: shot at this year in fantasy drafts, I can't do 106 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: the Josh Gordon thing anymore because I've been chasing him 107 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: since and it just all have when you're over seven, 108 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: I mean, at some point it's time to give up. 109 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: But I am targeting Antonio Brown in like early best 110 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: ball drafts. He's going late, like around sixteen, seventeen, even 111 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: later sometimes, And I think at that point, knowing his upside, 112 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: knowing that a couple of teams are already interested in him, Yeah, 113 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: he may have to deal with the suspension if and 114 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: when he does get signed, but I just think at 115 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: that point the upside is greatly outweighing the risk. I mean, 116 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: what are you expecting out of a pick that late? Anyway? 117 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: I don't think any pick that late can match the 118 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: upside of an Antonio Brown. Yeah, on board with that, UM, 119 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: I've been targeting into I've actually seen Antonio Brown get 120 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: picked in redrafts, uh in a fourteen team or we 121 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: did that for the f s g A yesterday on 122 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: Sirius sex m and in redrafts, I guess like if 123 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: you're in a if you're in a larger league, then 124 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: absolutely it makes sense. But in best ball, you know, 125 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: Mike said it, like what do you get there? You know, 126 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: like DeMarcus Robinson, I mean, like what do you you know? 127 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: What are you getting there? Like, hell, take a shot 128 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: on Brown. If he comes back, he's going to be suspended, 129 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: very likely for any number of games. And then when 130 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: he returned, suddenly, holy cow, you've got one of the 131 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: best wide receivers in the history of fantasy football. Yeah, 132 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. I was in a redraft last night, 133 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: redraft league last night and late. I mean we're talking 134 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: sixteenth round out of eighteen rounds. I I had Antonio 135 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: Brown in my queue and was really looking hard and 136 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: making the move. Uh and in two picks before I 137 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: was on the clock, somebody else took him. So the 138 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: decision was sort of out of my hands at that point. 139 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: But it speaks to the fact that people are thinking 140 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: about it, that they are considering, um, is it over 141 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: for Josh Gordon? I mean, I would think if he 142 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: comes back, if he gets reinstated, some people will take 143 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: a shot at him, But I feel like it's been 144 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: so it's a long time ago, now, Yeah, I know, 145 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: and you know, Mike said it, you kind of been 146 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: chasing that for you know, for what seven years now. 147 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: So I feel like if I'm in a deeper league, 148 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: or if I'm in the best ball UM and he 149 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: is on a on a roster, that I'm gonna take 150 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: a chance on him. But unlike Brown, I would need 151 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: Gordon to actually be on a roster for me to 152 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: even consider drafting him, um, because the ceiling is not 153 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: nearly as high as it is with Antonio Brown, let's 154 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: put it that way. So, and with all of the trouble, 155 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: it's like every single year, reinstatement, suspension, reinstatement, suspension, It's 156 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: a roller coaster right out. I'm sick of. So I'd 157 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: be looking harder at a B than I would be 158 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: at Gordon either, if you have a preferred landing spot 159 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: for a B. I note, you know, like I said, 160 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: Seattle Baltimore have at least publicly admitted that they've talked 161 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: about it. I would think there are probably other teams 162 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: that have internally discussed it that we don't know about. 163 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: Do either of you have a spot where you just 164 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: say this is the perfect spot, or because it's Antonio Brown, 165 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: does it not matter really? Baltimore, I would love to 166 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: see him in Baltimore, Like, if he ends up anywhere, 167 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: Number one is going to be motivated to play the 168 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: Steelers twice a year. And yeah, and he's got he's 169 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: got his his cousin there Hollywood along with him, and 170 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens don't have a number one wide receiver. I mean, 171 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: Seattle's got dk Is. You know, he's trending into that direction. 172 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: They've got lock it. Uh So Baltimore could, I mean 173 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: could use him. Imagine if they had him in the 174 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: playoffs last season against you know kind of thing, maybe 175 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: things would actually been a little bit different. But I'd 176 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: like to see Baltimore if he comes back. Uh yeah, Floria, 177 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: you feel that way too. Any any other possible candidates 178 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: for you? Of those two, I would pick Baltimore, but 179 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: I kind of hope it's neither because I am I'm 180 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: really high on Marques Brown this year. So I think 181 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: obviously if Antonio was a sign there, that would take 182 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: a lot of the luster away from him. I think 183 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is still a sneaky team that could sign him, 184 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: but no, they got they got enough. They gotta enough, man, 185 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: what I mean? I know, but like from a fantasy perspective, 186 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: I don't want that hopening that he doesn't sign until 187 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: someone gets like injured, or we see some him like 188 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: that in preseason and then he comes into a team 189 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: that has an opportunity for him. But as of now, 190 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: I guests of those teams. I picked the Ravens, but 191 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: I don't love any of them that. The problem though, 192 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: is like if if Brown doesn't get signed until the 193 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: team has a need because of injuries or coronavirus, when 194 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: he comes back, he's not going to play right away 195 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: because the NFL is going to discipline him. So I 196 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: the best case scenario for me would be that somebody 197 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: signs him now or within the next few weeks, and 198 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: then we know, well, okay, he's gonna miss six games, 199 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 1: he's gonna miss eight games, whatever the case may be, 200 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: and then life's a little bit easier for us and 201 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: we can determine his value a little bit easier. But 202 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: if it's a situation where the regular season starts and 203 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: he's not on a roster and suddenly somebody signs him 204 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, we have to, well, 205 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: he hasn't played football in a while, and we have 206 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: to figure out when he's going to be back because 207 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: discipline is likely. That's that's a little bit more of 208 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: a of a headache for for fantasy fans. I do 209 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: have a landing spot that I think would be interesting. 210 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to save it because there's another topic in 211 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: the show that I think we kind of can't have him. 212 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: He's not going to the forty nine, not although you know, 213 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: now with Deevo, Samuel Hurt and you know, out potentially 214 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: for twelve weeks, who knows how long. I mean, it'd 215 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: be nice. But now that's that is not is not 216 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: what I was thinking. Um just just you know, interestingly enough, 217 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: as we're talking about guys who are free agents that 218 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: that we might be taking a shot on in drafts, 219 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: um any any thought too, maybe in redraft leagues or 220 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: not redraft legs, but in best ball leagues, maybe taking 221 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: a shot at DeVante Freeman thinking that at some point 222 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: somebody's going to sign him or is he just too 223 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: off the radar right now? No, dude, in Best Ball 224 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: I would take him late. Why not? Because again the 225 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: same sort of situation. What especially at running back. I mean, 226 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: what's gonna be out there, you know, in the last 227 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: couple of rounds at running back in the best ball 228 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: and I feel like Marcus he will end up signing somewhere, 229 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: but I don't think it'll be a situation where he'll 230 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: be with a team in camp. Ultimately, it could be 231 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: one of those situations where a team suddenly has a 232 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: need and in this sort of coronavirus you know, situation 233 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: that we're in right now, you know, we we we 234 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: found Zeke has has already contracted it, and all around 235 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: the sports world, dudes are getting it. Golfers are getting it. 236 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: Uh you know, baseball players are getting it. Like five 237 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: Phillies got it or whatever it was. Um hell, even 238 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: w w here there was a guy who got it. 239 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: So that's gonna happen, and the team is gonna have 240 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: a need and DeVonta Freeman is probably gonna be the 241 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: first running back that the team is gonna call once 242 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: that need opens up, and it will happen. Yeah. Um well, 243 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: speaking of running backs, that that takes me to Baltimore, 244 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: where the Ravens are saying they want to involve j 245 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: K Dobbins, and they know that they've got a lot 246 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: of guys in that back field. For them, it's a 247 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: good problem to have, Floria. For us, this seems like 248 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: a bad problem for for the Ravens to have that 249 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: there are too many guys back there. Are you worried? 250 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: Have you been worried? Are you increasingly worried about the 251 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: split between mark Ingram's J K. Dobbins and you know, 252 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: throwing the rest of those guys there in Baltimore. Yeah, 253 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: this is a backfield that I'm avoiding in fantasy. A 254 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: lot of it is because my strategy is to get 255 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: at least two running backs early, which means when mark 256 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: Ingram and Dobbin's going like the rounds four through six range, 257 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: I'm typically attacking wide receivers. But even last year, like 258 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: we saw a split between Ingram and Edwards, and Ingram 259 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: was playing about half the snaps each week, so you 260 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: don't love to see that that opportunity of him being 261 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: at the time that they have the ball, he's sitting 262 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: on the sidelines. And then you add in Gus Edwards, 263 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: who is effective runner. Last year they have Justice Hill. 264 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: It's just a lot of pieces there, and you have 265 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: to also imagine, like Lamar Jackson is still going to 266 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: keep running the ball a great amount, and I know 267 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: that opens things up for the running backs, but if 268 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: we're talking about guys seeing like twelve to fifteen touches 269 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: per game and it's mostly carries, I'm gonna avoid this backfield. 270 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: But I will say for next year, I think j K. 271 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: Dobbins is going to be an All Star because Mark 272 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: Ingram is gonna leave. J K. Dobbins could be a 273 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: league winner this year. I really feel like it. Ingram 274 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: is heading into his age thirty year and we know 275 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: what happens sometimes with running backs at the age of thirty, 276 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: and I just feel like he won't take the job 277 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 1: from Ingram. Ingram is a respected veteran who's still very productive. 278 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: But if anything should happen to Ingram, watch out for 279 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: j K. Dobbins. And you know, Floria, you mentioned next year, 280 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: giddy the hell up, man. I mean, between him and 281 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor and maybe some of the other rookie running 282 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: backs who aren't going to get a chance to be 283 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: featured right away, Oh, is gonna be a lot of fun. 284 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: I think you hit on something interesting to Florio. You 285 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: talked about the running backs and most of their touches 286 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: being being rushes. And I'm trying to think, like the 287 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: Ravens don't have that guy that you would look at 288 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: and consider, Okay, well he's the past catching back. Right. 289 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: You look at so many other backfield committees. You've got 290 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: that guy who's sort of your thunder, who you know 291 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: is going to get those short yard inage of goal 292 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: line carries, be the heavy if you will, and you've 293 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: got maybe a guy who is more the past catcher. 294 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: I mean, unless I'm unless I'm mistaken, unless I'm missing somebody. 295 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: There doesn't seem to be that guy in Baltimore, right, 296 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: And that does sort of limit how you can value 297 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: those running backs back there. Yeah, last season, none of 298 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: the and they only had three last year. Now they 299 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: have four guys who were expecting to be in the mix. 300 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: None of them average two targets per game. So and 301 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: in PPR, I don't think enough people realize how valuable 302 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: a target is for a running back, and PPR there 303 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: three times more valuable than a carry on average. So 304 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: you're talking about like Ingraman and Edwards and these guys 305 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: if they're also split and Dobbins now if they're splitting 306 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: these carries and not seeing a lot of targets, they 307 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: have to be super efficient on those carries. Which one 308 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: of those guys is gonna get the touches near the 309 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: goal one because that's gonna be the one that is 310 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: obviously going to be the one that we want in fantasy. 311 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: But if they're kind of splitting that work or anything, 312 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: I think the upside here is one of these guys 313 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: can break out to be in RB one. But the 314 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: downside is that this is just a complete mess for fantasy. 315 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: You don't really know who to start where the top 316 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: guy is still nothing more than like a low end 317 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: RB two because they're splitting so much work. Yeah, it's 318 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: funny you talk about, you know, the targets in terms 319 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,479 Speaker 1: of running backs. If you look at last year, uh, 320 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is kind of like the exception to the rule, right, 321 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. I think he averaged like one targeted game 322 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: or like one point three targets a game. In fact, 323 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: as as I look at it right now, he is 324 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: in a list of of running backs who average fewer 325 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: than two targets per game, including Darryl Williams, C. J. Hamm, 326 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: Justin Jackson, Quel Armstead. You get that. You get the point. 327 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: So Henry is the exception to the rule. But yeah, 328 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: that that that's what makes these versatile running backs so 329 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: valuable in fantasy. And that's why you are seeing versatile 330 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: running backs, especially with Henry being the exception to the rule, 331 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: go so quickly in drafts like that draft that I 332 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: that I was a part of yesterday. Fourteen teams, I 333 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: think eleven of the first twelve picks we're running backs. 334 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: That's amazing. We have we have sort of come full 335 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: circle on We've come full circle on this right that 336 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: day as a running back. This is the way it 337 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: always should have been. Oh, we were trending away from 338 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: from heavy running back first rounds that we've sort of 339 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: come back to. Remember the first we trended away from 340 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: it for for one year, and I begrudgingly was trending 341 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: away from it, and I really loved it. And all 342 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: the wide receivers busted that year, all the big names, 343 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: and everyone was like up in arms, what the hell 344 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: is going on? I mean, but we're back to We're 345 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: back to old school fantasy football boys, where the running 346 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: backs in the most important position and no thing arguing 347 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: if we were back to true old school fantasy football, 348 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 1: we'd have like eight quarterbacks gone by the third round. 349 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: Do you remember that, dude, Like when Peyton Manning was 350 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: a first round pick, Brett five, Cordell Steward was going 351 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: like in the first round. This is before your time, Florio, 352 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: you weren't even born yet. I don't think when when 353 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: Cordelle was around. My first ever pick in a fantasy 354 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: football league was Dan Marino and he was the first 355 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: pick I ever had. And if mine was m J 356 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: d is that right? Yeah? Mine was? My mine was 357 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: Terrell Davis. Yeah, so yeah, I mean like I took 358 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: the Marino and it wasn't It wasn't odd, It wasn't 359 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: uncommon because a lot of quarterbacks went early back then. 360 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: So I used to I remember having Trey Aikman as 361 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: a Cowboys homer, you know, on some teams back in 362 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: the day, and I'm like thinking, damn, man, he's really 363 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: good in real football, but in fantasy not much. Sun Yeah, 364 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: that's so much of fantasy, right. That was a hard 365 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: lesson to learn for a lot of people, you know. Um, 366 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: Speaking of quarterbacks, Mike Tomlin says medical experts are comfortable 367 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: with Big Ben's rehab. He's been working on his elbow 368 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: obviously missed pretty much all of last season because of it, 369 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: and the Steelers offense and a lot of their fantasy 370 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: values suffered as a result of that. So fabs because 371 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: the doctors say they're comfortable with it, do we feel 372 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: comfortable with it? Because I actually recently wrote there hasn't 373 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: been this much hanging on somebody's right arm since Henry 374 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: rowing Gardner took on the Mets in the National League 375 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: Championship in the movie Rookie of the Year. Oh what 376 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Florio probably even remembers that, 377 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: I'm assuming the Mets lost that, right, Uh yeah, because 378 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: you know we did because one of the world theories 379 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: that we're also like really evil for some reason. So 380 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: with Roethlisberger right now, I have him ranked uh sixteenth 381 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: at quarterback, so you know, he's in the middle of 382 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: that QB two conversation. He's getting drafted really late. But 383 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 1: you could say this this draft that I was a 384 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: part of yesterday, like Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Roethlisberger, I 385 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: don't even think Rivers got picked, and it was it 386 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 1: was a fourteen team draft like it was crazy. So 387 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: that that's that's where you have to understand that the 388 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: strategy of waiting on a quarterback needs to be ingrained 389 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: into your brain unless you really want my homes or 390 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,479 Speaker 1: lamar and I get it, I understand. But that's the 391 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: key to building a really well balanced fantasy football team. Man, 392 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: is like running backs early, then you go with the 393 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: wide receivers. Maybe you pick up a tight end in 394 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: the middle, but you wait at that position unless somebody 395 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: falls to you, Marcus, right, unless it's like you know, 396 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: it's a Shaun Watson is there in the eighth round 397 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: or Russell Wilson is there in the eighth or ninth round, 398 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: and then maybe you pull the trigger there. But Roethlisberger 399 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: is part of that whole thing. Right. The elbow is good. Um, 400 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: we we've seen, you know, some some videos of him 401 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: sort of throwing the football to some of his teammates, 402 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: and the and these workouts that the players have gotten 403 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: together and done over the off season, and the weapons 404 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: he has is tremendous, tremendous, and hell, Deanta Johnson is 405 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: is like this year is a keen butler. Right. Everyone 406 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: in fantasy loves the dude. Think he's gonna be great. 407 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: Hopefully doesn't turn out like right, I mean, I mean, yeah, yeah, 408 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: of course. I think Butler that kind of like phased 409 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: out when he ended up getting drafted by the Cardinals 410 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: and that was that was the end of that one. 411 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: But Deontay Johnson, if he develops, You've got James Washington, 412 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: You've got Juju, You've got Connor. You know, you add Claypool, 413 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: like big Ben's got a lot of options in that offense. 414 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not Levi, Levian Bell and Antonio Brown. 415 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:10,479 Speaker 1: It ain't bad. Yeah, I mean, does this floorial make 416 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: you feel better about the other Steelers that are you 417 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: because I feel like I've been hesitant. I've been hesitant 418 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: on Juju, even James Connor. Um. You know, Deontay Johnson 419 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: I'm fine with because I've been getting him at a 420 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: spot that it's not a lot of risk. But does 421 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: this give you any extra confidence about maybe drafting Steelers 422 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: a little bit earlier? I guess a little bit because 423 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: the thing is I still worry about, like I have 424 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: no problem taking Ben where he is going, but with 425 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: like Juju, like you have to still pay high end 426 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: price and the fear is still I mean Ben is 427 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: still almost forty. Uh, he's still you know, an aging 428 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: quarterback who I think one big hit could take him out. 429 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: And we know that they did nothing to address the 430 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: backup quarterback position, which is beyond frustrating to me. Like 431 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: after seeing last season, how can you go into this 432 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: year and be like, we're fine with Big Ben and 433 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolphin j Conjes Like I thought like Jamis would 434 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: have been the perfect backup here or something like that. 435 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: But it is something that is still out there, and 436 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: I would take Cam. It's something that is in my 437 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: head when I think about taking and and Juju is 438 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: the one that I'm probably drafting the most, but it 439 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: is something I do consider before drafting any of these Steelers. Yeah, 440 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: I just, you know, I feel like the range of 441 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: outcomes with Ben is so wide, right, Like he can 442 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: stay healthy and look like Ben and be a top 443 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: five quarterback or things can completely fall apart and he 444 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: falls off the rails. Like I just feel like there's 445 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: you know, everybody else I kind of have an idea 446 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: of how things are gonna go. Ben is the one 447 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: that I just sort of vary wildly on um and 448 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: so because that it is, it's kind of made me 449 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: hesitant to draft any Steelers there um in New York, 450 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: Brashott Perriman says, the Jets offense can be really dangerous, 451 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: So I would just put it to you guys, hype 452 00:22:54,480 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: train or smoke screen. Come on, man, who's the coach? 453 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 1: What has he ever done in in an offense that 454 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: didn't have Peyton Manning as its quarterback? Marcus Grant, I 455 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: mean not much. Don't don't give me Jake Color, okay, 456 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 1: because like I mean, you know, and you can go 457 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: back and look like Adam Gaze has ruined more fantasy 458 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: careers than he has helped to flourish. Let's just put 459 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 1: it that way. Hello, Vian Bell, what happened with him? 460 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: And and Pairman? Like, I mean, he ended up in 461 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,959 Speaker 1: a good spot, But I mean Preston Pereman is one 462 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: of the one of the bust wide receivers that we 463 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: talked about who have just absolutely faltered after coming out 464 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: of college as a first round pick. Like people forget 465 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: he was the first round pick of the Ravens first 466 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: round and like the only the only reason that he 467 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: had a good second half of last year is because 468 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: the two guys ahead of him got hurt in Tampa Bay, 469 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and Jamis threw the ball 470 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: to the wrong team a million times. The Buccaneers eight 471 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: Ton because Bruce Arians likes to throw the football at time. 472 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: Now he's one of the Jets. Is going to Adam Gaze. 473 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say anything bad about Sam Donald. I 474 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: think I still think he could be a pretty good 475 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback. But I mean, listen, I am just I'm 476 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 1: not like Adam Gaze. Just I'm not in any any 477 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: Jet that you get, you better be getting a discount. 478 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: Whether it's Levian Bell, whether in Paramoun will go late, 479 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: Hernon will go late, Darnald will go late. Uh Crowder 480 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,479 Speaker 1: probably in the middle rounds. But I'm not I'm just 481 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: not a believer, you know when when I look at 482 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: the wide receivers who have played under Gaze, right, Damarius 483 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: Thomas had two big years, Peyton Manning starring on the football. 484 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders was a top five PPR wide receiver um 485 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning was starting on the football. Eric Decker was 486 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: a top ten Fantasy wide receiver. Peyton Manning was starting 487 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: on football. The only player, the only wide receiver who 488 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: finished in the top ten under gaze without Peyton Manning 489 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: was Jarvis Landry in two thousand and seventeen. That was it. 490 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: Who is the poster child for PPR receiver? Like he 491 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: and Julian Edelman are like one and two in that. 492 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: That's it, bro. I mean, like Jamison Crowder was twenty 493 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: six I believe last year among wide receivers in PPR leagues, 494 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: and like he's top eight oh all time in Adam 495 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: Gates's offenses. I mean, like, if that doesn't scarier than 496 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: nothing will. So I will put this out there. What 497 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: if the Jets sign Antonio Brown not gonna happen? I mean, look, 498 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: I probably look, I probably won't happen, but I look, 499 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: I mean we talked about Seattle, we talked about Baltimore. 500 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: We talked about it. Like, what if Antonio Brown goes 501 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: to the Jet they don't they don't have a number 502 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: one wide receiver, right, I mean, I don't think we 503 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: believe Breshad Perriman is that guy. Jamison Crowder certainly isn't 504 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: really that guy. You've got a young quarterback with potential 505 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: in Sam Donald, You've got a running back that he's 506 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: familiar with, and Levian Bell. Uh, you don't really, I mean, 507 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: you don't really have any pieces. I know it probably 508 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: won't happen, but man Antonio Brown to the Jets, I 509 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: think it's interesting. You're worth talking about. I mean, I mean, Florida, 510 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: Am I am I crazy or what? I don't think 511 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: you're crazy. But the biggest question I would have is 512 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: does Adam Gaze want him there? Because they took Levian 513 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: Bell and Gates was like, I don't want him, and 514 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: I mean he completely derailed Bells season. So I'm with 515 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: Fabs here. I worry a lot about the Jets offense. 516 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: I mean, outside of Peyton Manning, Gaye's offense is never 517 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: finished in the top twenty in points and they finished 518 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: once I'm sorry in yards and they finished once in 519 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: top twenty points. So I mean, you're talking about taking 520 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: away the one of the greatest quarterbacks ever in his 521 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: offenses are completely awful. So I think an Tonio Brown 522 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: would help the Jets, and it would help Sam Donald's. 523 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: But I think it would hurt Antonio Brown more so 524 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: than if he went to better offenses with actually competent 525 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: head coaches. I agree. I agree with Marcus that as 526 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: a landing spot. It's pretty good because there's you know, 527 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: there isn't a number one wide receiver. I mean you 528 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: could argue they don't have a number two wide receiver, 529 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: like you know, Jamison Crowter would be a three uh 530 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,959 Speaker 1: and a lot on a lot of teams in the NFL. 531 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: But I just I don't know that it's going to happen. 532 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: But hey, crazier things have happened. But wouldn't it be 533 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: wild Marcus if the Jets ended up with Bell and 534 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: Brown on the same roster again like that? Yeah, that 535 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: would be something else. Yet I did have this weird, 536 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: weird thought deep in the back of my mind that somehow, uh, 537 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: the Steelers and a b sort of kiss and makeup 538 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: and he comes back to Pittsburgh and they make one 539 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: more run with like the Killer Bees, right with Ben 540 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: Brown and Bell Because I say that the Bell Park 541 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: because um. There was some talk that if things go 542 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: sideways for the Jets again this year, that they might 543 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: look to move Levy on bell Um at some point 544 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: before the trading deadline. Now, I can't imagine a trade 545 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh would be feasible or anything like that, but 546 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: it was fun to talk about. But I guess the 547 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: the upside is maybe we can get Levy on Bell 548 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: out of New York, you know, somewhere it can be 549 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: productive again because the talent is still there, right. Coaching 550 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: is just has not been there, not not at all. Um. 551 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: So those are all the times of the big, the 552 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: big football stories I had, Floria, we got you on 553 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: And aside from you know, talking about fantasy football and 554 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: doing research for the NFL, you also do a lot 555 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 1: of fantasy baseball stuff. UM. I know we are all 556 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: baseball fans here, and I know we have all been watching, um, 557 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: probably with some some heartache and heartburn, the strained negotiations 558 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: between the owners and the players. But it looks like 559 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: finally they have come to an agreement that we're going 560 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: to have a season. It's going to be sixty games. Um. 561 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: Part of me is a Dodger fan, feels like this 562 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: will be the year that Dodgers win it and they'll 563 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: have a big fat asterisk next to it and I'm 564 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: gonna be frustrated, but whatever. But for you, I mean 565 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: writing about fantasy baseball, talking about fantasy baseball, how much 566 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: do things change for people with just sixty games as 567 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: opposed to a hundred and sixty two games over a season. Yeah, 568 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: it's a big debate right now, like if you drafted before, 569 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: if you're lead drafted before they hold the lockout, like 570 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: should we redraft because I think it is a completely 571 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: different game, Like the divisions. You're gonna be playing your 572 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: division teams ten times, and then each team has a 573 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: rival that you're gonna play six sons like fans. I'm 574 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: a Met fan, you're a Yankee fan. We are rivals 575 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: this year because they're gonna be more than any other. 576 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: Love it. I love it, man, I want to beat 577 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: up on the Met all day long. It's been really 578 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: good for the Yankees though, because you know we and 579 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: I say wait because this is you know, almost forty 580 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: years of being a fan, so you know, don't at 581 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: me judge hurt, right, I mean, like several arena obviously 582 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: we're not going to get him back, but the Yankees 583 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: have had some entries. You know that. Then of course 584 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: Stanton like Stanton Um, but all these guys have a 585 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of time to get healthy, man like. 586 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: So that's you know that, that's a good thing Um 587 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: for the Yanks, for sure. Gotta be interesting. I haven't 588 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: done because Florio, you're in my fantasy baseball league, which 589 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: I gotta figure out now when we're gonna hold the draft, 590 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: because I'm still gonna do it. But now you're looking 591 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: at changes, Like do you feel like teams should sort 592 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: of follow in the direction of what like Marcus and 593 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: I and a lot of industry folks and fantasy football 594 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: have been talking about and expand the rosters, designate roster 595 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: spots for COVID players, that kind of thing. I think 596 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: you should because I mean, we've already seen that now 597 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: as teams, because now this was just a financial negotiation 598 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: up to this point. Now they're worrying about the actual 599 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,479 Speaker 1: issue at hand, being the virus. And like Charlie Blackman 600 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: has already tested positive and he is a huge piece 601 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: in fantasy baseball, and I think we're just gonna get 602 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: more and more guys who test positive and then something 603 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: else you're gonna have to worry about, which you never 604 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: really had to. Like Mike Troud is expecting his first 605 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: child in August. He has already said he's going to 606 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: be with his wife. So now does Mike Troud have 607 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: to quarantine for fourteen days before we could get him 608 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: back and if so, and if that's the case, Mike 609 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: Troud should not be the first pick this year, like 610 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,719 Speaker 1: he should be falling a good amount of because if 611 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: you take away two weeks out of sixty games, that 612 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,719 Speaker 1: is a huge chunk of the season. So and then 613 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna have players holding out like Carlos Carrasco who 614 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: dealt with lukemia last year, Like he might hold out. 615 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: And so if you drafted Carlos Carrasco, like what happens 616 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: now you know, like he was a high end pitcher. 617 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: So there's still a lot to figure out into me, 618 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: Like and like a head to head fantasy baseball league 619 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: that's normally twenty weeks, now you might have a regular 620 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: season that's five or six weeks. So to me, it's 621 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: just it's super dilated and a lot like the Dodgers markets. 622 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: I think if you win a Fantasy Baseball championship this year, 623 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna have an asterix next next to it. Just 624 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: from a strategy standpoint, and I'm thinking about we've seen 625 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: in in baseball now the the rise of the opener 626 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: um and how teams have gone bullpen heavy. I would 627 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: think with a sixty games sprint do you guys expect more? 628 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: Do you expect them to air out their starters longer? 629 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,959 Speaker 1: Will we see more openers? Will there be more reliance 630 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: and emphasis on bullpen arms? And I would imagine that 631 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: changes a lot of your draft strategy as well. I 632 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: think so in my strategy as of right now is 633 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: going to be emphasizing the high end closers, because, like 634 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: you said, we've seen more openers, and I think what 635 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna get a lot of because spring training two 636 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: point oh is they're calling it when they could have 637 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: called it summer camp. It's it was right there for 638 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: the right it really was. But it's gonna be about 639 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: three weeks, they're saying. And I don't think that's enough 640 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: time for pictures to get, you know, to where they're 641 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: gonna be going six seven innings right out the gates. 642 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: So I think we'll see the elite high end pictures 643 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: still go pretty deep. But these back end arms, I 644 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if we see them go three or 645 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: four innings and then you bring in another, you know, 646 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: picture like that, like a swingman type picture to go 647 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: to three innings. And I think a lot of teams 648 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,239 Speaker 1: are gonna also follow the raised plan, which is just 649 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: kind of like mix and match your back end of 650 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: the bullpen. You don't have a set closer because when 651 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: your starters are giving you innings, you're gonna need all 652 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: arms on deck. So I'm gonna go though, with the 653 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: teams that with the closers that I think are established, 654 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: like the our oldest Chapman's of the world, and and 655 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: Kenley Jansen and those guys who we know we're going 656 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: to get the ninth inning opportunity when their teams have 657 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: a lead, because I think those fringe starting pitchers, one 658 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: bad start out of ten maybe that they're gonna make 659 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: can just completely ruin your fantasy season. So there's a 660 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: lot of things that we have to consider that we've 661 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: never even had to think about. What you're saying is 662 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: the Yankees are the favorites to win it all because 663 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: we have a right the Yankees and Dodgers are. There's 664 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: still the two favorites, and I think their odds are even, 665 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: so you gotta could be playing each other, and Marcus, 666 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: you gotta be at least like breathing a sigh of 667 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: relief because like you may have otherwise traded a lot 668 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: and not it's away after a year. Yeah, so yeah, 669 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: that you know, there's there's there's pros and cons. One 670 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: that yes, they will hopefully get to see Mookie Betts 671 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: play for a little bit. Um. The downside is that 672 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: I have this irrash no fear that every day the 673 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: Dodgers play, My biggest worry for them is that they 674 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: just don't get no hit. Like I spend at least 675 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 1: a couple of innings in terror of like, please just 676 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: don't get no hit. When they get a hit that 677 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: I can just calm down. So now that feeling gets 678 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: to come back again for better or worse real quick, though, 679 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: Like what what is the because I haven't followed this 680 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: uh as closely as you have. What's the plan for stadiums? 681 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: Like where are where are they going to be playing? 682 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: Have they determined that? Like what's going on with that? 683 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,240 Speaker 1: So they are going to be playing in their own parks? 684 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: And that's why like instead of like playing other all 685 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: n L teams are all AL teams, like just all 686 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: local geographically. Yeah, Like so the AL East and the 687 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: n L East are matched up against one another, Like 688 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: the Dodgers rivals are going to be the Angels. So 689 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: they're gonna play then than any other a L team, 690 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: and they're gonna be busting and stuff. But another complication 691 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 1: that I just saw this morning was like New York, 692 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: New Jersey and Connecticut or if you come into those 693 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: states from another state, they're making you quarantine for two weeks. 694 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,800 Speaker 1: I know they're not going to do that with baseball players, 695 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: but like, how is this all gonna work? I think 696 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions that they still need to 697 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: figure out in this next month. So this is gonna 698 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: be This will be the first year, god since I 699 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: can remember, that I will not be going to a 700 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: live Yankee game. I've seen the Yankees every It's almost 701 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: always been like Anaheim since I've been on California, occasionally 702 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. This is the first time I'm not gonna 703 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: be able to see the Yankees live, like, because they're 704 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,800 Speaker 1: not gonna be out here unless they go to the 705 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: World Series. And at that point, if it's the Dodgers, 706 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,800 Speaker 1: do they even play games out here? Like? Is it neutral? 707 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 1: What do they do? Why? They got a lot of questions. Man, 708 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: I did see an idea of floating around on Twitter 709 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: that at least for the Dodgers and you know in 710 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: certain places, like maybe you just drive your car to 711 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: the parking lot and you turn on the radio and 712 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: then when good things happen, you like hank your horn 713 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: or flash or lives or something like that, Like, you know, 714 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 1: just so you can have that communal feeling of sort 715 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: of watching games with a crowd who knows and sitting 716 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 1: in all that traffic. I mean it brings that. The 717 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium like that. You know, you just buy yourself 718 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: a pack of Farmer John hot dogs from the store 719 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: and you just bring them out there and have a 720 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: good old time. That is one of the worst places, man, 721 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,919 Speaker 1: Like God, your stadium. I love the stadium itself. Remember, yeah, 722 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: I remember going to see the Yankees years and years ago, 723 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: and it was long ago because Rivera, Maria and Vera 724 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: closed out the game. The Yankees won the game. Um, 725 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: it took an hour before I got out a parking lot. Yeah. 726 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: The stadium itself is gorgeous. The the the transportation to 727 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: and from not so much. I love going to Anaheim. 728 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: That stadium is that's easy to get, family friendly stadium. 729 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: You get in and out of there quick. That's a 730 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: really good place to see a ball game. It's easy 731 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 1: to get in and out of. And you know, if 732 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: you don't mind kind of the Disney atmosphere of it, 733 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: then you're funny. Sorry, the Disney atmosphere to some of 734 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 1: the atmosphere that you see that was. That was me 735 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: taking an unfair shot at the Angels, is all. That was, um, Florida. 736 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: Before we let you go, tell folks anything big you're 737 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: working on.
