1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the

2
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. It's me man named G Marcus Grant,

3
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: socially distancing away from the Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael

4
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: Fabiano and uh facts. I know we usually start with

5
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: some sort of like weird happy chat kind of thing. Um,

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: that feels weird doing that today. UM. I know for

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: people who listen to this show regularly, you probably have

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: our schedule down. We usually do shows on Tuesdays and

9
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: Thursdays a couple of times a week. It's obviously Wednesday.

10
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: Now this is just to let you know, this is

11
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: our show for the week. We We're not gonna have

12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: a second show this week. It was a thing that

13
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: that we sort of discussed amongst ourselves. Um. Obviously to

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: say this has been a tumultuous week is a and understatement,

15
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: um that there are things obviously going on in the

16
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: country and in the world that are certainly way larger

17
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: than all of us. Uh, I know, it has been

18
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: for a lot of people a really difficult week. So

19
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: we sort of had the conversation about, you know, understanding

20
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: that fantasy football for a lot of people is a distraction,

21
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: is a way to take your mind off of a

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: lot of the really unpleasant, ugly things that are going

23
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: on out there. But at the same time, we also

24
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: felt like there are times when it's better for us

25
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: to maybe just shut the hell up and let some

26
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: other conversations happen. But having said all that, we all

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: still work for the National Football League. We still do

28
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: have a job. We still wanted to get something out

29
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: because if for the next you know, thy minutes, this

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: does help take your mind off of some of the

31
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: ugliness in the world, then, um, we've provided a service.

32
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: So uh, that's pretty much all I had to say

33
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: about it. Uh, I don't know other that it's you know,

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: we were a fantasy podcast and that's what we do. Yeah, Listen,

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: Fantasy football is trivial right now. Sports is trivial right now,

36
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: and we get it. You know, there's a there's been

37
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: other instances where you know, we've running into the same

38
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: thing where we have to do a certain job, but

39
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: it feels odd sort of doing it because it is

40
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: so trivial. I will say this that, Um, if we

41
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: can be an escape for half an hour, we hope

42
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: that you know, that helps in some small way, shape

43
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: or form, And um, you know. I mean one other

44
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: thing I also say is man, we just gotta love

45
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: each other. Uh. We. We had Ladinian Thomason on my

46
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: on My Serious Sex Time show yesterday and if if

47
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: you haven't heard it, you can go and check it

48
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: out on demand. Marcus Eddie, I'll tell you right now.

49
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: I was. I had goose bumps and I was almost

50
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: in tears listening to him. Number one. Lt is one

51
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: of my favorite people on the planet. Um. And just

52
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: his words were emotional and inspirational and just really put

53
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: sort of Uh. It's hard for me to talk about

54
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: it because it was so it was so inspiring to me.

55
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: All I want for people out there is to just

56
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: love one another. Let's get through this. Um. Don't don't

57
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: see you know, don't see color, see see good and bad.

58
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: That's what I feel like. Is is so important, um,

59
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: because there there's there's good people. There's bad people, regardless

60
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: of race, religion, gender, whatever the case may be. Be

61
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: one of those good people. Uh. And and the good

62
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: people will were rise and get through this together. Yeah.

63
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: I think that's an important part of that. This This

64
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: does have an into it, even though I think sometimes

65
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: it's hard to see there is an into it um.

66
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: So Uh, I know that for folks who are who

67
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: are out there and struggling in one way or another,

68
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: just you know, find some wor um be strong. So

69
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: all right, Uh, it's always weird sort of transitioning from

70
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: something like that to fantasy football, but here we go. Uh.

71
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: There was a conversation that you and I had FABS

72
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: on the show a couple of weeks ago. Uh. It

73
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: just was kind of a spontaneous thing, and you know,

74
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: you and I were talking about what the season is

75
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: going to be like, knowing that you know, the coronavirus

76
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: is still going to be with us. It's not just

77
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: going to be gone by September. We know that, uh,

78
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: and what this is gonna mean for fantasy football. And

79
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: it was something you and I sort of just kicked

80
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: around just briefly. And then I had somebody by mentioned

81
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: Dana been Afield, who tweeted me asking sort of about

82
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: this thing and how how to do how we will

83
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: sort of adjust fantasy wise, understanding you know, he prefaced

84
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: it obviously understanding that that uh, down the list of

85
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: priorities in America, in the world, like how we organize

86
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: our fantasy football leagues is near the bottom. But for

87
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: those of us who play, it is something worth talking about.

88
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you and I obviously both playing a lot

89
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: of fantasy leagues. You are the commissioner, I know of

90
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy leagues, and as we sort of

91
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: enter this new world, I felt like like this might

92
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: be a good time for us to kind of dive

93
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: in and talk about, uh, what what changes, what rules

94
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: we might need to come up with to sort of

95
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: fit the new world. So I went through and pick

96
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, several different categories and if you end up,

97
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: you know, coming up with some other some rule changes,

98
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: I certainly would love to hear them. Uh. And for

99
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: for those of you listening, if you have any suggestions,

100
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: any ideas. I mean, I feel like this should be

101
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: a much bigger conversation beyond just the two of us,

102
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: because there are a lot of a lot of smart

103
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: people doing this, uh, and it would be great to

104
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: hear from them. So the first thing fans and I

105
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: think we talked about this is I can't imagine that

106
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: we can survive with the same roster size, right, I mean,

107
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: we're in a situation where if a player or players

108
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: test positive at some point during the season, they're going

109
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: to have to be quarantined for fourteen days at minimum.

110
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: That means that that we are going to have to

111
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: have deeper rosters, right Like, there's just no way, I

112
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: mean unless you know, I know some leagues have deep rosters,

113
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: but generally speaking, I feel like the maybe the first

114
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: thing we do is talk about expanding roster size for

115
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues, no doubt and no doubt about that.

116
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: So if you're in a if you're in a league

117
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: where your draft is fifteen rounds, you know, maybe you

118
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: increase it out to eighteen or twenty. And like, for me,

119
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: I like deeper rosters anyways, because I don't I don't

120
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: love being in leagues where really good players are still

121
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: available on the waiver wire because I want my fantasy

122
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: to mirror reality as much as possible. And let's be honest,

123
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, like Kirk Cousins is not going to be

124
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire in reality. Um So I feel

125
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: like making your raw was a little bit bigger makes

126
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: sense regardless. And I also, and you know this, I

127
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: have been uh I love having an I R spot.

128
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: I've been a proporined for that for a long time.

129
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: It's not fair if a player gets hurt, like for example,

130
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: a few years ago, like David Johnson, right, I mean

131
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: ultimately he ended up missing, you know, the entire season.

132
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: But if there is ever a chance that DJ would

133
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: have come back late in the year, well, it would

134
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: be really hard to hold him on a on your

135
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: bench the entire season because you need that spot. So

136
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: you add reserve spots, and we we do have those

137
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com. I'm sure there's other platforms that

138
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: that have that as well. And this way, if a

139
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: guy gets placed on the injured list, if he is

140
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: designated as suspended, there are some other designations as well

141
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: that NFL Fantasy will have for players depending on their situation,

142
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: that you can actually put a guy h now, if

143
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: he's if he's questionable or you know, if he's if

144
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: he's doubtful, you know, or or if he's out like

145
00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: in a week. I don't know that you can put

146
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: a player in the spot in those cases, but injured list, suspension,

147
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: exempt list, you know that kind of stuff. You can

148
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: put those guys in those spots, and I feel like

149
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: that makes more sense. It's it's closer to reality, and

150
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: it also doesn't doesn't force you to basically eat up

151
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 1: a bench spot, which can be very valuable in your leagues. Yeah,

152
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: and you know, I said, I know you are big

153
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: on the the I R spots. I think I would

154
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: be interested to see if leagues either add them that

155
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: don't have them, are ones that do add more just

156
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: because and do and do we make a a COVID

157
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: exception for that? Right? Do you have? Do you do

158
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: you allow players? Do you allow fantasy managers? You know,

159
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: say maybe one guy, if if one guy tays positive,

160
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: you can put that guy in an I R spot

161
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: um and allow him to be there for those fourteen

162
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: twenty one and whatever. However many days before you bring

163
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: him back because look, I mean there's no I guess

164
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: part of what what is is difficult about this is

165
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: there is no rhyme or reason to it, right. I mean,

166
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: I think when when we look at at just traditional injuries,

167
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: you can you can sort of say, look, running backs

168
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: tend to take more of a pounding, right, so running

169
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: backs tend to get hurt more often wide receivers, for instance,

170
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: maybe they suffer soft tissue injuries more so you have

171
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: to deal with hamstrings and calf muscles. Quarterbacks, you know, again,

172
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: they they take a lot of hits. This this doesn't

173
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: there's no rhyme or reason to it, right. I mean

174
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: anybody can can can catch this virus at any time. Uh,

175
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: And I think that's gonna gonna sort of put us

176
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: on the defensive in terms of trying to build rosters

177
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: and keep rosters full. Yeah. So so that that leaves

178
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: action to the next thing, was is draft strategies do

179
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: do you change? Have you thought about how you maybe

180
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: draft differently to build your roster knowing that you could

181
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: lose a frontline guy anytime. So first off, and we

182
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: would have to talk to you know, our pal Michael Coval,

183
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: who is you know, one of the best in the

184
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: business in terms of product at NFL dot Com. Can

185
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: we actually and will there be a designation four players

186
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: who do contract COVID that's possible, Uh, that that could

187
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: potentially be in you know, inserted into the NFL dot

188
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: Com product or you know, other products whatever you might

189
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: play on any platform. And if that's not possible, uh,

190
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: and it can't happen, then maybe commissioners need to designate

191
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: one bench spot. So if your roster is twenty players

192
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: and then you've got four injured list spots. Maybe it's

193
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: twenty one players, and that twenty one roster spot on

194
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: the bench is just empty unless someone contracts COVID and

195
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: then you can put them there, and then you can

196
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: add another player. That would mean a little more work

197
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: for the commissioner to make sure that you know people

198
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: aren't adding more players and they're allowed on their bench.

199
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: But that's that's a possibility in terms of draft strategies,

200
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: handcuffing your running backs, and honestly, it all depends on

201
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: like sort of who you are and what your opinion is.

202
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: If I draft Adalvin Cook, I want Alexander Madison. If

203
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: I drafted Zekie Elliott, I want Tony Pollard. Okay um,

204
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: If I draft Josh Jacobs, I don't necessarily need Jalen

205
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: Richard because I don't know that he would even be

206
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: the guy who would end up seeing most of the

207
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: touches in that backfield, because it's likely to end up

208
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: being a committee situation. If I have Todd Gurley, I mean,

209
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: maybe I draft Edo Smith. Maybe If I draft David Johnson,

210
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: I definitely want Duke Johnson. So it's all sort of relative,

211
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: right we we all sort of have to look at

212
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: what the scenarios are. Are these players otherwise durable? If

213
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: you draft Derrick Henry is drafting Darrnton Evans, I must not.

214
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: If you're able to to draft a team that has

215
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: backfield depth and you know your fifth running back, say,

216
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: for example, is a guy who may end up playing

217
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: a bigger role, like maybe it's a Boston Scott or

218
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's a Chris Thompson who could end

219
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: up having some standalone value as a flex starter during

220
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: the season. You know, I think what is going to

221
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: sort of be I don't know how this weird interesting

222
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: is that in the past, we always we always grown

223
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: when we hear about a team going to a running

224
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,599
Speaker 1: back committee, right when we we hear about two or

225
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: three guys that are gonna share snaps and share touches,

226
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: suddenly maybe it's not so bad. Look, you always want

227
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: the guy who's gonna start and who's gonna play the most,

228
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: but suddenly ending up you know, if you don't get

229
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb and something, you get Kareem Hunt. Um, just

230
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: because in an instant things can change, maybe even more

231
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: so than normal, and Kareem Hunt could end up being

232
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: that frontline guy. I feel like running back committees. This

233
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: is a year. Maybe it's a sort of lean into

234
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: committees a little bit and understanding that that, you know,

235
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: guys are gonna get more options potentially than they normally

236
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: would in a regular year. Um, I also wonder what

237
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: do you think do you consider? Look, I know that

238
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues, I only draft one quarterback

239
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: and I only draft one tight end just because it

240
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to use a roster spot on a

241
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: guy that's barely ever going to play that you could

242
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: probably pluck off the waiver wire. But it feels like

243
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: this might be a year where I have to change

244
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: that up and maybe I go get a second tight

245
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: end or I go get a second quarterback in the

246
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: event that something happens. Just kind of as that insurance

247
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: or is that? Or is it? Or is it? Is

248
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: that overreacting a little bit? No, I don't think so.

249
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: And also keep in mind too, you can switch from

250
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: individual players at the quarterback position team quarterback, so and

251
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: you know not in every every instance is that a

252
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: good thing? Right? I mean, like, you know, if you

253
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: have Drew Brees and suddenly he goes down Jamis Winson

254
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: and hell yeah, dude, that's good. If you have Scott

255
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: and suddenly he goes down and you have Andy Dalton,

256
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: you know that, then that's that's pretty good. Uh. You

257
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: know there's other instances like in Detroit last year, if

258
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: you have Matt Stafford and then you have that is good,

259
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: all right? I mean, so it all depends. But the

260
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: way that I look at it is when I come

261
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: out of a draft, and if I'm in a typical

262
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com draft and I have fifteen players with

263
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: my roster, I want five running backs, five wide receivers,

264
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: and then I really it's one kicker in one defense

265
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: because if you have any more of either, it makes

266
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: no sense whatsoever unless you're in the bestball league. But

267
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: it really depends on who my number one is, right.

268
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: So I'll give you an example. If my number one

269
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: quarterback is dak or Kyler or Deshaun or you know,

270
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: Lamar or Mahomes or Russell or Josh Allen or maybe

271
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, and I feel pretty good about the fact

272
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: that I'm not playing anybody else but those quarterbacks every

273
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: single week outside of injuries, and by weeks, then I'm

274
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: not going to draft a second quarterback. Uh. If I

275
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: am in a position a tight end where you know

276
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: I got zach Ertz, or you know I got a guy, uh,

277
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, like Hunter Henry or somebody like Darren Waller

278
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: or Mark Andrews or of course Kelsey and Kittle. I'm

279
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: not drafting a second tight end because I'm not gonna

280
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: use him. In that case, maybe I go after the

281
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: second quarterback. But if I have Austin Hooper, if I

282
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: have Jared Cook, and I'm like, I mean, they're okay,

283
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: like they're back in TI in once, but maybe they're

284
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: not going to be as consistent as I would like.

285
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: So then I go out and get an upside guy

286
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: like Hayden Hurst, right, get a Mica SICKI Uh, it

287
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: really depends on sort of who your who your starter

288
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: is gonna be, uh, when you're in that draft at

289
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: each of those positions, at least for me to decide

290
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: whether or not I dropped a second player or not.

291
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: One of the things that as you were talking you

292
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: mentioned you know, and I know I know this about you.

293
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: You like to have balance on your roster, right you

294
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: want you don't you don't want to go heavy on

295
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver or heavy on running back or anything like that,

296
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: and I feel like maybe this is definitely a year

297
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: to especially follow that. I feel like especially trying to

298
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: go light maybe on running back to get more wide receivers,

299
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: because again, if if you have a guy that ends

300
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: up having to sit for any reason, you somehow are

301
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: going to be shorthand, and especially I think at running

302
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: back fabs because after the after you know, somewhere mid

303
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: middle of tier two. I mean, there's just a major

304
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: drop off when you talk about that running back position,

305
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: and if you end up shorthand it, you can end

306
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: up getting really screwed. Find No, I mean, listen, you

307
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: know we have a dynasty league that right that I've

308
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: been running for like every um. Actually gotta get on

309
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: that draft. By the way, we gotta start talking about

310
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: the ray I mean, everything that's been going on. Man,

311
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: I'm just behind. I'm thinking about any kind of dynasty

312
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: draft at this point. Luckily we don't have any crunch

313
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: for time there. But so you but you may want

314
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: to extend your your rosters out to do having twenty

315
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: players and then you add in the injured spots, right

316
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: because and again for people out there who play fantasy

317
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: football for fun and they like to see really good

318
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: names on the waiver wire. I understand, I get it.

319
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: Just keep in mind that if you're in that situation

320
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: and your league decides to go in that direction, that

321
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: you may end up having a player who's very prominent,

322
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: who uh making trap COVID and and then suddenly, uh,

323
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: you know what, you're maybe not first or second in

324
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: line in the waiver wire. You're gonna lose them. You're

325
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: not gonna get it because somebody else is gonna be

326
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: smart enough to grab that player. So for example, again,

327
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: regardless of what the case, maybe you're in a ten

328
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: team league and Dalvin Cook is on your roster and

329
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: suddenly he goes down with whatever. You know it is

330
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: an injury, you know, God forbid of COVID situation, and

331
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: Alexander medisins on the waiver wire. Chances are you probably

332
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: not gonna get him unless your team is bad and

333
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: you have waiver priority. When you have bigger rosters, you

334
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: don't really have to worry about that because either you're

335
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: going to have gotten Madison or you're gonna have depth

336
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: position uh to sort of help you along a little

337
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: bit and sort of uh, maybe maybe it's like putting

338
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: a band aid on a on a on, a leak

339
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: in the uh in the in the uber dam. But

340
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: at least it's gonna help you at least somewhat. Yeah, yeah,

341
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: I think that's that's probably a wise way to go.

342
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: And so that that leads me next to how we

343
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: handle transactions, right, I I've played in leagues. I'm sure

344
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: you have to where there are limits on the number

345
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: of transactions you can make, you free agent pickups and

346
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: what have you in the in the course of a season. Um,

347
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: I would think that this year, either you have to extend,

348
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: you have to increase whatever those limits are, or maybe

349
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: just eliminate them all together, because this this feels like

350
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: a year where more than ever, people are really going

351
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: to be forced to potentially play the waiver wire. And

352
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: it just it seems limiting to I mean put it

353
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: into I mean, it is limiting to to to only

354
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: have X number of transactions knowing that there's a very

355
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: good chance everybody's gonna have to go over that. Right.

356
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: So so for me, I don't like having transaction limits.

357
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like daily in like Fantasy Baseball,

358
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: where people will try to stream you know, every starter,

359
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: no matter if he's any good or not because the

360
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: matchup is favorable, like and I've been in leagues like that,

361
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: so I've sort of as a commissioner put in limits

362
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: in terms of how many games a team can start

363
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: every single week at picture. But if you increase your

364
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: roster size, then maybe you don't have to, uh, you know,

365
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: increase or eliminate transaction limits because well, there's not gonna

366
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: be as many free agents that are really very good worthwhile.

367
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: But if you but if you continue to keep your

368
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: rosters at the same size they've been in the past,

369
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: then yeah, Marcus, then you know that could potentially make sense.

370
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: Maybe you eliminate them, maybe you increase in terms of

371
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: transaction limits. Me. The only things that I don't like

372
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: in with with transaction limits, and I think some of

373
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: the products out there, including NFL dot comms sort of

374
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: a solution to that is when when people will try

375
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: and pick up and drop players just so other teams

376
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: can't get them. And now many products have the well

377
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: if you add and drop a player within the twenty

378
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: four hour period, then that player just is still first come,

379
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: first serve. I believe NFL dot com is like that. So,

380
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: but those are situations where people are kind of being

381
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: sort of jerk about the other things. But I feel

382
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: like if you increase the roster size, maybe you don't

383
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: have to increase your transaction limits. But if you continue

384
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: to stay status quo, it makes sense. Yes, do you

385
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: do you increase fab budgets or do you just tell

386
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: people to be smarter about how they bid? I mean,

387
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm going to increase fab budgets.

388
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: And honestly, like, I think I'm in the minority in this.

389
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: I like traditional fantasy, Like I'm in leagues of course,

390
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: where you know, you bid, and a lot of people

391
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: really like that because you can go after the players

392
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: that you want. I mean, I've done that in the past,

393
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: and and I like being in you know, maybe one

394
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: or two of those leagues. I'm more of a traditional

395
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: guy where I like just the traditional waivers to run

396
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: and go from there. There's an argument to be made

397
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 1: for increasing fab budgets again, if you don't increase your

398
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: roster sizes, because there's potentially going to be uh more

399
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: transactions on the waiver wire uh than normal because of

400
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: this COVID nineteen situation. Yeah, you know, it's funny. I

401
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: will admit I've been in plenty of leagues with fab budgets.

402
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: I feel like I can never accurately that like how

403
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: much I should bid on a guy, right, I always

404
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: overbid man, and then like I got left either I

405
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: severely overbid or I severely underbid. Like I feel like

406
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm never like kind of on par with everybody else.

407
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: So I've been that that is a blind spot for me.

408
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: So that's my own thing. You know, sometimes it works

409
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: out and sometimes you get burned. Like right, there's certain

410
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: times where you're in a scenario where you think a

411
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: player is gonna miss extended time due to injuries, and

412
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: suddenly you're like, oh, man, I gotta go pick up

413
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: this guy. And then you know, the player comes back

414
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: a week or two early, and you're like, I just

415
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: spend all my money week. Most scard girl, you know

416
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, yeah, that was one that one

417
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't hurt a lot of folks last year, the

418
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: most most car broth thing. Um Any thoughts maybe extending

419
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: trade deadlines too, because as people are trying to you know,

420
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: build rosters and and try to you know, prepare for

421
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: the unexpected, Uh, is it worth maybe pushing back the

422
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: trade deadline? A week or two to give people extra

423
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: time to kind of add players there. So in the

424
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: leagues that I run, I typically pick like the earliest

425
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: trade deadline option, um, which is, you know, somewhere in November.

426
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: There are leagues that extend trade line deadlines all the

427
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: way to like the end of the month and Thanksgiving.

428
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: I just I don't. And there's others where there's just

429
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: trade deadlines that don't even exist. I don't. I don't

430
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: like to allow owners to make trades like a week

431
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: or two before the playoffs, because you know what happens

432
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: in Marcus. You get into scenarios where and I don't

433
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 1: like towing trades, and typically I don't, okay, you know,

434
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: unless you trade Patrick Mahomes for you know enough, like

435
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna say

436
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: no because like it's just not fair if there's obvious collusion,

437
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: I get it, But I can also understand the argument. Right,

438
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: So say that you are right now the five or

439
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: six seed going into the playoffs. You've got a week

440
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: left before the regular season is over, and then you

441
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: make a trade with a team that is out like

442
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: they have no chance to make the playoffs, they're done,

443
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: and this isn't a dynasty league. It's on a keeper league.

444
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: There's no moves or transactions being made for future considerations.

445
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: And then those two teams make a trade and it's

446
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: like kind of what, right, what it's it's you know,

447
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: it's not like baseball when the you know, when when

448
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: a when a team is just tanking and they're trying

449
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: to gain uh, you know, good minor league players for

450
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,239
Speaker 1: the future from another team. Of course, the Yankees, you know,

451
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: they've been doing that forever, where you know, they grab

452
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: veterans for minor leaguers to try and make that playoff front.

453
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: So in that case, that's kind of why I don't

454
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: like having that trade deadline too close to the to

455
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: the start of the playoffs, because then I feel like

456
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: you get in a little bit of a gray area

457
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: and then people get pissed because you know, this guy

458
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: who's on the place to make the playoffs made have

459
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: trade with this guy who's got two wins all season long,

460
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: and it's bs and then you end up with headaches

461
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: as a commissioner, right right, Yeah, No, I think that's fair. Um,

462
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just like I said, I think this

463
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: is kind of a chance to spit ball and kind

464
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: of experiment with something. No doubt this is it's great.

465
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: All these are great topics. Yeah. So then my last

466
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: the last thing I got here is in terms of scheduling,

467
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: and I guess the bigger do you consider opening the

468
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: playoffs two more teams? I know, I mean, I know

469
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: in a lot of leadus you're already talking about six

470
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: teams in the playoffs. And if you're talking about you know,

471
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: six out of ten, even six out of twelve, that's half.

472
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: So maybe it doesn't make sense. But I think in

473
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: leagues where you have a four team playoff, maybe this

474
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: is the time to open it up to six, just

475
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: because I expect there to be a lot more volatility

476
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: with teams with rosters and within leagues, and so maybe

477
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: this is a chance to kind of expand the playoffs

478
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: a little bit this year. If you're in bigger leagues,

479
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: I can see it. You know, even in four team

480
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: team leagues, I'd probably just rather have six. But if

481
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: you're in ten or twelve or you know, some people

482
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: playing eight, like, I mean, you can't you can't have that,

483
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, right exactly, so you can have more than

484
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: half the league making the playoffs because that kind of

485
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: defeats the whole purpose. Um, and I don't I'm not

486
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: a fan of like we're only four teams make the

487
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: playoffs because fantasy football, at the end of the day,

488
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: marcus as competitive as it is, like, we want to

489
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: have fun too, So like you want to have a

490
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: shot in a twelve team league, you know, to make

491
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs as a five or sixth seed, rather than

492
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, give it to the top four teams. Some

493
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 1: competitive people out there who are in competitive leagues may

494
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: disagree and think, hey, if you're not good enough to

495
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: be in the top four, you don't deserve it. I

496
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: get that, But for me, fantasy football is all about

497
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: having fun. And you know, typically the two teams that

498
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: are the top seeds get it by anyway, so regardless,

499
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, they're gonna they're gonna be in the

500
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: second round the playoffs. So I like the six teams. Uh,

501
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, I mean even in the ten team league.

502
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: I guess like a lot of people playing at ten

503
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: team leagues are having fun. So it's more than half

504
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: of the teams that make it. Okay, get it, you know,

505
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: But if you're in a twelve team, I say six.

506
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: If you're no. Fourteen? Nice you say even in a

507
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: ten team. I can see four teams as well. But

508
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: as you go deeper, uh, in terms of how many

509
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: teams are in the leagues, I mean, and I get

510
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: texts and tweets about seam leagues. God bless you guys,

511
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: then maybe you add a couple of teams to the playoffs.

512
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean, like everybody in real sports is doing it.

513
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the NFL is gonna do you know? Major

514
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: League Baseball wants to do it. But I only do

515
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: it where it makes sense. You you don't want. You

516
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: don't want eight percent of your playoffs. Why am I

517
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: playing a regular season? Although it does mean you get

518
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: to really point and laugh at the people who didn't

519
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Oh my gosh, those people. Those people, Yes,

520
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: those people should have to sit outside a major street

521
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: with a big sign that says I missed the playoffs

522
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: in a team where make it right? Right? Like, seriously,

523
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: we let everybody into somehow you didn't make it like

524
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: you deserved. You deserve to be mocked by by your

525
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: friends and peers. So um, I don't know. Those are

526
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: just the ones that I came up. But I don't

527
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: know if you if you've thought about this, if you

528
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: have any other like things you'd like to experiment with,

529
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: because I feel like this is the time if we're gonna,

530
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: if we're gonn get weird, this is the time to

531
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: get weird with Yeah. So I think that the team

532
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: QB concept makes sense depending on depending on the size

533
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: of your league as well. I mean so because again,

534
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, if every team in the National Football

535
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: League had a really good backup, you know, maybe things

536
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: would be different. But when you look down the list, well, okay,

537
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean if you have, say, for example, uh, Nick

538
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: Foles is mentioned, Robinsky really a good backup, I guess

539
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: he is, assuming that Foles ends up being the starter.

540
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: So it really depends, It really depends. I mean, like,

541
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: you know, the backup in Jacksonville's Mike Glennon. So if

542
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: you have you know, Gardner issue and something unfortunate happens

543
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 1: to him, Mike Glennon is going to be your quarterback.

544
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: That's that's no point now, So that all depends on

545
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: roster size and sort of you know, the experience that

546
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: that that people have in the league. Is it a

547
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: league that you're just kind of having fun with Is

548
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: it a more serious league? How active are people on

549
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 1: the waiver wire? Should a quarterback down? Uh? In the backup?

550
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: Actually's gonna have some value? Now if you're in two

551
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: QB leagues or if you're in super flex leagues, then

552
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: maybe it makes even more sense, Marcus, right, because there

553
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be any quarterbacks on the waiver wire in

554
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: those leagues, and if they are, they're gonna be bottom

555
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: of the barrel. Like I mean, Taysom Hill is gonna

556
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: be a freaking he's not gonna be a free agent,

557
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of those leagues, if you know what

558
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: I mean, and he's a backup and and and unlikely

559
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: to he's third string, but but he's gonna play because

560
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: he's more than just a quarterback. So in those kind

561
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: of leagues, maybe it makes a little bit more sense.

562
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: But I really feel like adding more roster spots, and

563
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: who knows, Marcus, maybe people add more roster spots and

564
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: dig it and think, you know what, this is what

565
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna do the rest of the time that we're

566
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: gonna be playing in this league. Because there shouldn't be

567
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: really really good players on the waiver wire Honestly, there

568
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: shouldn't be If you want a mirror real NFL. Uh,

569
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have guys like that on the waiver wire.

570
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: So uh. And I like my my fantasy to be

571
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: as real as possible. And so that's why a lot

572
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: of my leagues and most of my leagues uh where

573
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm not playing with kind of family and friends, like

574
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: the rosters are big. Yeah, And I think I think

575
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: that's maybe the biggest thing to this, right, Like, obviously

576
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: we're we're talking about rules changes in the context of

577
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: what happens with a virus that that could take players

578
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: out for who knows how long. But I think in

579
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: the end, it's also maybe just creating ways to enjoy

580
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: this game more because, like you said, Fabs, we're doing

581
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: this because we're trying to have fun. Uh, We're just

582
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: trying to you know, add something to our our football

583
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: watching experience. And so maybe you you hit on something

584
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: you and your friends and your league mate hit on

585
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: something that you like and that is is worth doing.

586
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: So A yeah, I think I think, like I said,

587
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: if this, if there's ever a year to play around

588
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: with things, this is the one to do it. Uh.

589
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: You know, I would suggest you know, putting up to

590
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: a vote of your league mates, you know, like like

591
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: getting getting their their opinion, their input on it. UM,

592
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: no doubt. But like I said, for those of you listening,

593
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 1: if you guys have any any suggestions, we'd certainly love

594
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: to hear him. You can obviously hit us up on Twitter. Uh.

595
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: And and you know, I think, you know, I think Especial.

596
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: Really we get a little further into the summer, I

597
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: think it's it's definitely worth having a bigger conversation on.

598
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, I think I think it's it's gonna

599
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: be interesting. Um. One other housekeeping note before we go.

600
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: Mock drafts are currently open on the NFL Fantasy desktop product.

601
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: I know, talking with some of the development folks, Uh,

602
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: they had a couple of glitches on the app they

603
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: are working on, so they're hoping that that mock drafts

604
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: on the app will be open very very soon. But

605
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: you can go to Fantasy dot NFL dot com. Uh,

606
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: you go to the draft center and mock drafts are

607
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: open there, so you can kind of get your mock

608
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: draft on and practice. Uh. And then once once are

609
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: open on on the app will let you know and

610
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: you can do that there because I know Fats, I

611
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: sit around sometimes in the evenings when I have nothing

612
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: going on, and uh, you know, I'll bring out a

613
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: mock draft or two just to get those reps in. Yeah, alright,

614
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: we all need reps, man, need you got those reps.

615
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that I've been doing you know, some

616
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: bestball uh mocks, and I've been doing some regular mocks

617
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: and doing some stuff with the folks at Serious Exam

618
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: and like, but I tell you, it's it's funny how

619
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: values change, like with with the whole Johnathan Taylor situation,

620
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: like exactly, like that's the one where like he got

621
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: drafted and everyone was all over him. Oh my god,

622
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: he is going to be awesome and he's going to

623
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: be the featured back and this is gonna be great.

624
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: And then several weeks later, Frank Wright comes out and say,

625
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: I could see the hem Himes catching ten passes in

626
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: the game. And then a couple of weeks later he says, yeah,

627
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: I have a lot of his respect for Marlon Mack.

628
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a one one punch. And then you know,

629
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: you got those shares that John and the Taylor that

630
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: that you have after you after the draft and you

631
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: were doing Best Ball, so you're like, no, no, kind

632
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: of like Darth Vader in Revenge of This in ye. So,

633
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: But I mean that's why it's good to to sort

634
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: of see what the trends are because that you're seeing

635
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: that with a lot of players like Clyde Edwards Hilaire

636
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: after he got drafted. Oh my god, you know, a

637
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: second round pick. This guy's you know, a top ten

638
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: running back, all right, top the brakes now a little

639
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: bit here, the third round pick. But I don't think

640
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Brian Westbroog just yet. Yeah, No, I

641
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: mean it's And I think that's that's been interesting because

642
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: the rookies, because there is so much uncertainty, have been

643
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: I think their values have swung wildly all over the place.

644
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned mentioned Edwards Hilaire, and you mentioned

645
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: John and Taylor, even even I like DeAndre Swift. Uh.

646
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: You know, I've I've seen carry On go maybe just

647
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: a couple of picks before or after Swift, because you know,

648
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,479
Speaker 1: right now we're still trying to figure this whole thing

649
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: and also keep this in mind too. So you know,

650
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: I've talked to Austin Ekeler about this. I've talked to

651
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: other NFL players about this. Players can't go to the

652
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: facilities until training camp starts, right until it starts, which

653
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: means guys like Tom Brady, uh, you know, guys like

654
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, guys like Todd Gurley. Although I think that's

655
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: to a lesser degree because running back is Hey, hand

656
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: me the ball, I'm gonna run through it to me. Good. Right,

657
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: So these guys don't have the off season, and some

658
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: of them are getting together. I'm sure privately we saw

659
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady do that with some of his player uh

660
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: some of the players in Tampa Bay at some of

661
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: his teammates. But like, ultimately these guys are gonna go

662
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: in to at least the end of July Marcus and

663
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: not have really done much together. Uh, certainly not with

664
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: the coaches rookie quarterbacks coming in. You know, like Joe

665
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: Burrow is going to be the guy in Cincinnati at

666
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: some point, Justin Herbert is going to be the guy

667
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles potentially at some point to a tongue

668
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: of blow is going to be the guy in Miami.

669
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: Not having a report with their with their wide receivers

670
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: and their tight ends and seeing how the offense works

671
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: and learning new offenses and learning new tendenseeas and gaining rapports.

672
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: So I remember talking to Austin and he had said

673
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised at the start of the season

674
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: statistically is a little bit slow. It's gonna be sloppy

675
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: because guys are gonna be getting acclimatedto one another. And also,

676
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: as much as we like to see these guys out

677
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: there working out, and a lot of these guys are

678
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: in ridiculous shape, it makes me embarrassed to be a

679
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: man because those guys are just like physical specimens. I

680
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 1: don't know if everybody's doing that. I don't know if

681
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: everybody's sitting be honest, some guys might be sitting back McDonald's.

682
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. Like so some guys might not be

683
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: in the best shape either. Uh that's something to keep

684
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: in mind. Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. So uh yeah,

685
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: every every week seems like something new is happening. Is

686
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: we're we're all sort of learning all of this together. Yeah,

687
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: to two thousand and twelve, you can go straight to

688
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: h E double hockey sticks. By the way, I'm done.

689
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: And then there's a report that there's a there. I

690
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: like to do, Oh, there there's a there's a meteor

691
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: or a comment coming you know close to the earth. Sweet,

692
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: of course there is that. There is whatever. Man, Marcus,

693
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the locusts. Man, like we can just

694
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: waiting for the skies to just like start dropping bugs

695
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: on us. I mean at that point we had the

696
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: murder hornets about a month ago. That that we're coming through. Um,

697
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: I feel like that the media is not a big deal.

698
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: We can just send Ben Affleck and crew up there

699
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: and they can take care of that. You know that

700
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: Apparently they say it might skim the Earth's atmosphere, But

701
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: like I feel like that that part we seem to

702
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: have a plan. Michael Bay has a plan for that.

703
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: So we can just send we can send Ben Affleck

704
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: up there and there you go. Yeah, alright, I feel

705
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: like that's a good note to get out of here.

706
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: On That is it. We are done. We appreciate your
