1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome to the Bloomberg Business Is Sports Podcast. This 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: is the Wednesday Fantasy Sports ditition on Michael barn along 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: with David Sassour and Rich Truman. Uh. Usually, uh, I 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: like to have a lot of fun. We all like 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: to have a lot of fun with the show and 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: and and laugh. But there's nothing to laugh about because 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: we are still praying for Tomorrow Hamlin, Buffalo Bill's safety, 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: uh to recover. He suffered a cardiac arrest on the 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: field and probably guys, that is one of the scariest 10 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: things I've ever seen on a football field. And I 11 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: have to be honest, Rich, when I was thinking about 12 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: this show, it's I almost didn't want to do it 13 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: because there's you know what we do. We're just having 14 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: fun with stats, but it's slapped us all in reality 15 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: what that game is really all about. You know, it 16 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: just puts you everything in perspective. You know, you got 17 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: to appreciate life, the little things when you get mad, 18 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: oh I didn't play this guy and said I should 19 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: have played that guy. And it's all meaningless when it 20 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: when it all comes down. And obviously, like you said, 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: we're praying for the health of Damar Hamlin. And it 22 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: just puts everything in perspective. I mean, things that you 23 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: think are important are not as important. I mean, you 24 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: just got to appreciate everyday life. I mean I remember 25 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: being a child at my grandmother's house when Dennis Bird 26 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: went down, you know, and it reminded me a lot 27 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: of that. But um well, look, I mean I think 28 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: our thoughts and prayers go out. But again, I think 29 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: we have to. Um I guess we have to talk 30 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: about the implications of this on fantasy, right, I mean, 31 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: if we got we gotta try to. Um So, So look, 32 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: I mean for those of you, I mean what we've 33 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: done here is we've taken a look at the three majors. 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: I'm talking CBS, Sports, ESPN, and we've looked at Yahoo 35 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, they're all handling a bit little 36 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: bit differently. But I think what you have to keep 37 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: in mind is that all are based on official NFL statistics. 38 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: So if this game is indeed cancel, I'm talking the 39 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: Bills Bangles, and there will be no points ordered to 40 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: any player, even if they got a few points in 41 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: that game before it actually was postponed. Right, So that's 42 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: how all of the websites from what I read are 43 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: handling it. They are giving uh. In the case of 44 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: ESPN and yah, who if the game is played, they 45 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: will retroactively apply those points to weeks seventeen and eighteen. However, 46 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: you know, it impacts things and um and in the 47 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: case of CBS, if it doesn't hit by Thursday, they're 48 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: gonna zero everybody out. And it's just a bunch of zeros. Now, 49 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: what they are all doing is providing commissioners with the 50 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: ability to manually input data. So that opens the door 51 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: for those of you who are you know, maybe um 52 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: looking at perhaps you know CBS projections and saying, okay, 53 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: let's apply those in the few areas where we need 54 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: to and kind of balance things out or or or 55 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: something along those lines. But um, but Rich, I think 56 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: you have you know, some other input here. Yeah, I'm 57 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: in a league with my friends from more than thirty 58 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: years and it's you know, we do a Super Bowl also, 59 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: but the majority of the payout is cumulative points and 60 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: we go straight through week eighteen, so we do the 61 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: entire season. Um. So we were going back and forth 62 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: on what we should do, and obviously, if the game 63 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: ends up being played, which I personally don't think it 64 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: will be. We will count those points. But we decided 65 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: to come up with the projections, so we have an 66 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: ESPN website and just for example, Josh Allen was projected 67 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: to have like twenty seven points, So we will give 68 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: whoever Josh Allen has twenty seven points and add the 69 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: cumultive points. And you know a good number of people 70 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: had players going in that game. So that's that's the 71 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: plan that we are going to give do if the 72 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: game is not made up. Now, I know a lot 73 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: of people also are saying, you know, they end at 74 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: week seventeen. They're just saying, you know, the people going 75 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: for the championship, look, let's just split the money. Let's 76 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: just go, let's go halves, and you know, and call 77 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: it today. Um. Other people, what they might do is 78 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: you look to take the points that each of the 79 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: whose league's ended weeks seventeen. They may look to take 80 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 1: those players points from week eighteen and applied that two 81 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: weeks seventeen. But that's only for those leagues who actually 82 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: end in week seventeen. Again, I don't know what income 83 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: poop who joined the league that's placed three weeks. I'm 84 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: just getting rich. But I mean, but but the reality is, yeah, no, 85 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: I think I think there's a lot of different ways 86 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: to handle it. It certainly throws a monkey wrench that 87 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: we've never seen into I mean even in COVID, right, Michael, 88 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: We've never seen a game, um completely canceled off the Swede, 89 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: especially one of this importance. We've seen it where like 90 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: you said, where Okay, we've had games played in the 91 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: Tuesday or maybe even and they pushed everything back, and 92 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,799 Speaker 1: they pushed everything back, but the games were completed before 93 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: the next week's game started. And for Week eight team, 94 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: by the way, the final week of the league, uh 95 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: no Thursday game. Uh you got two Saturday games and 96 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: the rest are all on the Sunday slate. So and 97 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,799 Speaker 1: by the way, um, if you had a bet because 98 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,679 Speaker 1: Monday night a lot of people debt on the Monday 99 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: night football game, a lot of the sports bending operators 100 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: said it was null and void, so they avoided and 101 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: out customers. They don't even take the big, they don't 102 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: even take the ten big. You don't even take the 103 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: ten big is like, here's your money back? You know? Well, 104 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: I mean then I think what you have to do 105 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: for those of you who are still playing, who were weak. 106 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: E teen is still meaningful is you have to look 107 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: at which teams have something to play for? Right, So 108 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: I can tell you the Cowboys, Chiefs, and Eagles they 109 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: have something to play for. Two teams that don't, the 110 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: Vikings and the Chargers. They're probably gonna rest their players. 111 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: So if you have Eckler, you know, a guy like 112 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: Josh Kelly might step up. If you have Delvin Cook, 113 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: a guy like Alexander Madison might step up, you know. 114 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: And and so I mean the Bucks game doesn't matter either, 115 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: I don't think, right, So I think Leo Fournette gets 116 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: benched also in favor of a shod way. So there's 117 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: there is, you know, a very very week eighteen idiosyncratic 118 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: way that you want to kind of prepare that's very 119 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: unusual and so uh and so those are the things 120 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: that stand out to me rich Right, Well, the Saturday, 121 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: let's just go chronologically. Sata Kansas City is playing Vegas. 122 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: That game maids a lot for can the city because 123 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: depending on what they do with the Bill Bengal game, 124 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: the case could have the home field advantage throughout the 125 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: a f c um and then Tennessee Jacksonville the winner 126 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: of that game gets a division, so you'll have your 127 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's back in the lineup. Um, it's interesting you 128 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: brought the Vikings like, well, they rest like their players 129 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: like Delvin Cook. But Justin Jefferson, I'm just curious if 130 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: they're going to try to feed him the ball out 131 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: to get him to get him his number, they get 132 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: him his number to get consider considering he had two 133 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: points last week by far and away the biggest killer 134 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: in Fantasy in week seventeen. And why and why is that? 135 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: For those of you who owned Jalen Hurts and Derrick 136 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: Henry who did not suit up, It's because you actually 137 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: had to start Jefferson and watch him put two points up, 138 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: whereas with the other two you probably had a chance 139 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: to find an adequate replacement or somebody. By the way, 140 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: watching that game with Justin Jefferson, He's lucky he wasn't 141 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: throwing out, oh my god with the helmet. Yeah. Yeah, 142 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: he took the helmet off and he hit the ref. Now, 143 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: fortunate for him, the ref didn't see who it was 144 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: behind him and didn't know what the heck was going on, 145 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: but it had been ejected from the game. Yeah, I'd 146 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: been gone and I just trying to bring something about 147 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: Sunday obviously playoff implications. The last game of the of 148 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: the slate is Detroit at green Bay. Now Detroit will 149 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: get in if Seattle loses the game earlier and then 150 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: they beat green Bay, so they needed a little help. 151 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: Green Bay is in if they just win that game 152 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: out right, And those are the games, right, I mean 153 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier Casey Las Vegas, and that obviously Detroit 154 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: Green Bay. Those are the only two games where they 155 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: have a total points about fifty year or more. Right. 156 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: The rest of the slate is points and below. So 157 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: I mean players in those two games obviously are expected 158 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: by expected to to to to probably put up some points. 159 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: I think. You know, for me, you got to kind 160 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: of look back through a week seventeen, right and take 161 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of outside of obviously the Bengals bills, 162 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, we had some very very poor performances by 163 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: some all stars and some of the people that just 164 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: stand out to me that David Montgomery's, the Miles Sanders 165 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: of the World, the Delvin Cook through mondre Stevenson's s 166 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley's all you know, basically did not show up 167 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: as you would have hoped for and then Metcalf and Lockett, 168 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: I mean, Juju, Garrett Wilson on the Jets, you know, 169 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: justin Jefferson we mentioned. I mean, they probably let you 170 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: down and that's unfortunate. But Rich, you want to talk 171 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: about some of the highlights and the people who did 172 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: actually perform in Week seventeen. Is that a segue for 173 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: you to that you won your championship? Yeah, well no, 174 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: I mean I'll tell you right now. At McCaffrey, Um, 175 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: I didn't have any of these players, by the way, McKinnon. 176 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: They were all big, big players. I mean actually in 177 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: my person in my league where I won the the 178 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: the title. Um, I actually had my worst week of 179 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: any season. But because I had saved all my fab dollars, 180 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: I was able to uh front the guy was playing 181 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: who had henry and hurts and basically needed adequate replacements, 182 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: and I just kept burning through players. That's a strategy 183 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: that you brought up because a lot of us are 184 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: thinking like that, we can't take it all with us. 185 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: So it's like and then when we get to the 186 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: end of the season, because I had nothing, yeah, I 187 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: could not block anybody from getting anything. But you kept 188 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: your fab Doo. Yeah, No, I mean I got very 189 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: fortunate and the guy was playing had very little, so 190 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: I could basically, I think he had ten dollars. So, 191 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: I mean all week long, eleven dollars. Eleven dollars. I 192 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: picked up every running back under the sun. But you know, 193 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: if I want to ask you both your opinion if 194 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 1: the season were to end today and we were doing 195 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: a brand new NFL fantasy draft, who is your first 196 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: round pick? First question? Yeah, CMC, I agree with you completely. 197 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: I think it's got to be CMC partial head off 198 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: with Kaffrey Whiteside belts for the San Francisco touchdown. Now, 199 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: the real question is he's your second pick. It's the 200 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: whole he's through to the forty, to the fifty to 201 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: the forty. It's a foot race thirty ten Ustar necklock 202 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: touchsdown Shugers probably, Yeah, I mean back to back, unbelievable. Yeah, 203 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: I don't know who you like there, Jefferson, I know 204 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: you do. Yeah, I love Jefferson. I mean obviously from 205 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: you know, take last weekend out. But another guy that 206 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: and then and I did draft him number two was Kelsey. Yeah, 207 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: comes in over the middle, cut twenty yard line in 208 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: the fifteen yard line, angling near side with the block 209 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 1: ten five, Kelsey stretches out for the end zone touchdown 210 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: Kansas City. And he is what brought me to the 211 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: championships in both of my leagues. Uh And in my 212 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: other league, I've got Kelsey and I got Patrick Mahomes. 213 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: So it was like, you know, it's like every Sunday 214 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: was the one Chief who had a terrible year, and 215 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: I had him in both my league. Now they're running back, right, 216 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: the kicker, so he blew it a horrible, horrible, horrible year. 217 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: Yea horrible year. Well, I mean, look, it's hard to 218 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: take those kickers on the Bills and the Chief Tyland 219 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: Basses the other right, just because you know, I mean, 220 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: they are so good they're gonna go. You know, I 221 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: actually I had the philosophy and I was wrong that 222 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna have a little trouble scoring because 223 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill was not in the lineup this year. You know, 224 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: just going reminiscing a little the Eagles Giants game. Everybody 225 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: was saying a few weeks ago, you know, that might 226 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: be a great game for the Giants because maybe they'll 227 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: back their way in because the Eagles are gonna wrest 228 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: all their storaters now the other way, exactly, a great, 229 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: great season Daniel Jones had. Oh you know what, Now, 230 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: that's a guy that's going to probably be when you 231 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 1: rank your quarterbacks, probably in the number one ranking in 232 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: terms of you know, here here are the number ones 233 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: and here in the number two's. I mean, just whether 234 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: whether it's fantasy or regular football, I just you have 235 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: to have a guy who can move. You need a 236 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: mobile quarterback. You need. Daniel jones numbers last week speak 237 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: for themselves. He only had one seventy seven passing, but 238 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: he had two rushing and two passing, right, So that's 239 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: why he was the second best quarterback on the slate. 240 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: If you look at the top five quarterbacks last week, 241 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna be surprised, right, stid him said him stead hum, 242 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: Sam Donald again, you know so there's guys up there 243 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: who in addition to your you know, your Patrick Mahomes 244 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: and the number one last week Tom Brady. Yeah. Yeah, 245 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: to say, it's like there was some quarterback sneaks in 246 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: there where I'm like, wow, Tom, okay, two three passing, 247 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 1: one rushing. I mean, if you actually made it to 248 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with Tom Brady as your quarterback. God 249 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: bless you. I had him on my my other leg. 250 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: I had him on the bench, on the bench I 251 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: was going to play him over of course Josh Allen 252 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: or Justin Fields. You know what, guys, Eighteen weeks flew 253 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: by so quick for our show man.
