15
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: knows we're about to say. He's he's been big time.

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: He us he's been. I'm a show ruiner. I'm the

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: human rain delay. You're like, oh, well, let's had twenty

18
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: minutes onto the rundown. He has been giving us the

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: heisman for he just straight stiff arms right to the face,

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: over and over again. It's funny because every October, a

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: lot of the friends that I grew up with go

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: to Big Bear and we have this huge October Fest celebration.

23
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: Rank hasn't been hasn't been a one, and it's it's

24
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,639
Speaker 1: no coincidence. Okay, my evite is never in the mail. Okay,

25
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: But I was just about to ask you, is it.

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: Is it similar to this situation where literally every single

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: week you're on the email chain and I never asked

28
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: you're on the I didn't even know. They saw a podcast.

29
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: Every single week you're on the email chain and you

30
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: never show up. I never read my email. So that's

31
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: number one. I don't put my work email on my

32
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: phone and people I don't have it either, Yeah, and

33
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: people like why not, I'm like, because I drink. Like,

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: the last thing I need is easy access to work

35
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: sensitive documents. Also, I also think we were I was

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: told when I got hired, if you put your work

37
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: email on your phone if you are over to leave

38
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: the company, they would wipe your phone as a precaution

39
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: as well, Like that was a sort of barter to

40
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: get the ease of any work email that I was like,

41
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: I don't want that. I'm like, I want I don't

42
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: want the five emails we get like a night during

43
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: the season on my phone because I have to keep

44
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: a very clean home screen as you can see, no

45
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: notifications on anything. The people that have like thirty thou

46
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: unread emails psychopaths like how do you do that? I

47
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: gotta get her, gotta get her straight out of act unbelievable.

48
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: I get like I break out into like a sclammy

49
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: sweat when somebody's like, oh, yeah, here's my phone and

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, why do you have thirty six thousand and

Speaker 1: twelve unread emails? Can I can I just get in

52
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: there and to let them for you, like I'll sit

00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: uh ejact elite Adamskid from Wisconsin. Alex Gailhart is here.

60
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: It's a sad day for us today because it is

61
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: Alex Gil hars very last podcast. Yes, I mean unless

00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: know what should happen? Yeah, well, I mean we're definitely

64
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: But last efficient podcast we made a segment called calling

65
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: to the Wild. That's true that. Oh yeah, we had

66
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: franchises Fiery phone ends. We'll have to get some other

67
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: clever name for me. Perhaps, we'll see, we'll see, we'll,

68
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: we'll see what's going on. But yes, no, h certainly

69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: a sad day today. Um, we will, I will. We'll

70
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: discuss your impact on on this whole staff and on

71
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: the podcast as well. We got producer Christina behind the class.

72
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: I have to ask you. You're a Kentucky fan. You

73
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: went to Kentucky. Uh, from what I know of you,

74
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: you're a Steelers fan as well. Correct. Wait so you're

75
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: from Kentucky. Now I'm from Connecticut. Connecticut, okay, so we

76
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: don't really have any proteins, so all fairness, So no,

77
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: that's such a cop out. You have all the New

78
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: York teams at your beck and call right there, Buffalo.

79
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: So I walk in and you wearing all the big

80
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: poppy David Ortiz jersey shirt, which I'm like, and I

81
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: was just because I mean, where you're wrapping the entire

82
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: East Coast at this point, I mean, yeah, I feel

83
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: like I get to pick and choose. If your state

84
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: doesn't have any professional teams, I feel like you're you're

85
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: right there, I do. I do have a question for you, though,

86
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: is Connecticut? And again, I'm not a geography bull. He's

87
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: really not know that a long long enough for standing

88
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: to see him fail miser Oh my god, you're terrible

89
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: at geography. Not a geography. But the last time I checked,

90
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: I believe Connecticut is in the area called New England. Correct, correct,

91
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: And that area of New England seems to have a team. See.

92
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: But I grew up hating the Patriots so well, my

93
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: dad's family is from outside of Pittsburgh, so I grew

94
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: up hating the Patriots. But I was never a Pirates fan.

95
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: So okay, well I think you should be, like, I

96
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: don't know, uh, like a Miami Hurricanes college football fan

00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I will appreciate. And I don't know if this is

113
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,280

114
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: of the Stronghold live on in these sounders. Great year.

115
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,480

116
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: we'll start in Buffalo and um man, it's just it's

117
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: tough to get your head around this story. But Lashawn

118
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 1: McCoy being accused of domestic violent, child abuse, animal cruelty,

119
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: taking p DS as well. The accusations come via Instagram

120
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: from a woman who says she is a friend of

121
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: McCoy's ex girlfriend, as my phone is going off. Okay, sorry,

122
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: that was the wife. He uh, she's calling me right now. Okay,

123
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: um my my mom. The instagram post showed a woman

124
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: with bruises, cuts, and blood on her face. Lashawn McCoy

125
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: went on instagramming himself denied the allegations. Court documents showed

126
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: that McCoy was trying to evict his ex girlfriend from

127
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: his Georgia home. Police confirmed that a person had been

128
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: assaulted at McCoy's home Tuesday, but McCoy himself was in

129
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: Miami getting ready for Bills training camp. Investigation from polices underway,

130
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: The league's investigation is under way, the team's investigation, the

131
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills investigation is underway as well. Uh listen, man,

132
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: if the police or the league or the team, if

133
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: they find anything, obviously we'll discuss it then. But I mean,

134
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: you know that specter certainly looms. If they do find something,

135
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: obviously a suspension will happen. Um, and I would imagine

136
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: we would talk about it from a fantasy perspective, but

137
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: also from just a humanistic perspective as well. But again,

138
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: right now, investigation underway, until anything is concluded or actually

139
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: comes to light, just camp, no banks and a sense

140
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: to really touch on it or speculate. Let's let the

141
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: everything play out and then we can address you. Guys

142
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: can address it later. It's a confusing story, a lot

143
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: of angles, a lot of moving parts, so we'll get

144
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: to it then, alright. Per buccaneers dot Com, Adam Humphries

145
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: is quote well entrenched as a slot receiver for the box.

146
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: To me, anyways, it throws a lot of cold water

147
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: on a potential Chris Godwin breakout. If you were thinking, hey, listen,

148
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna run a lot of three receiver sets, dirt

149
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: cutters are gonna be out there, you know, uh, slinging

150
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: the ball around or whatever it might be with whatever

151
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: quarterback he's got back there, and you're thinking Chris god

152
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: On was gonna be that third guy, Well maybe not.

153
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: Maybe he splits that third receiver role with Adam Humphrees,

154
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: who again has been a pretty reliable slot man for

155
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Mike Evans and Deshan Jackson seemed like the

156
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: clear cut starters, but Adam rank maybe it's not as

157
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: clear cut. I mean, what do you think about Chris

158
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: god One? What do you think about Look, I've I've

159
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: seen some speculation that maybe Deshun Jackson's playing time might

160
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: get a little eaten into as well. But outside of

161
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, do you really want to take a chance

162
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: on any one of these guys because you're not even

163
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: mentioning Cam brait O J. Howard. A lot of a

164
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: lot of past catching weapons there for Jamis Winston or

165
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: Carl Sims, Charles Sam's uh so Fitzpatrick, Jamis Winston, either

166
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: one of those guys are gonna have a plethora of

167
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: receivers to look at. So to me, it just basically

168
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: comes down to Mike Evans, and I've seen his value

169
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: tumble a little bit. I think a lot of us

170
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: are participating in the scott Fish Bowl eight and it's

171
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: interesting to see that Mike Evans in some leagues, I've

172
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: seen him go in the third round, some leagues in

173
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: the second. But this guy was a clear cut not

174
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: clear cut, but this guy was pick last year a

175
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: lot of people. I was very excited about him last year.

176
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be a breakout campaign. Didn't

177
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: quite work out. And so you see Mike Evans, he's

178
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: now just about of all your a value pick in

179
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: the third round. So it seems I don't want to

180
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: be part of Sean Jackson. I'm not taking Adam Humphries

181
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: kiss Chris Godwin. It's somebody to keep an eye on. Uh,

182
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: the only guy outside of Mike Evans. I'm really paying

183
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: attention to his on Jones and where he ends up. Okay,

184
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: what about the tight ends there, Cameron brad oj Howard

185
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: at all. Cameron Braid is actually very efficient near the

186
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: red zone, and it's somebody that Jamis Winston seems to

187
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: rely on quite a bit. And O J. Howard is

188
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: a good football player. We haven't seen that translate to

189
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: the fantasy statue yet, So again, he's somebody that's interesting,

190
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: But I think there's other options you can look at.

191
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: I think both of those guys serve better as streamers

192
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: right now. They're both talented. Uh, They've both had flashes

193
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: of production. O J. Howard had a couple of big

194
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: plays late in the year last year. Cameron Braid is

195
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: rank mentioned has been a very good red zone threat

196
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: throughout his career. But like committees that at the backfield

197
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: are are a terrifying prospect, much less to go to

198
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: a committee at a position that typically unless you're one

199
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: of the elite elites gets a much smaller piece of

200
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: that passing pie. So let it play out a little bit.

201
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: And then if you because we've talked about this before,

202
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: but like the tight end is super top heavy this year,

203
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: there's like five or six guys that you really love

204
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: look locked in for big workloads at least big touchdown shares,

205
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: and after that lot of question marks star So if

206
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: you miss out on one of those early guys and

207
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: wait and take a stab at somebody, you know, one

208
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: of these days could be that stab, because then you're

209
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: not committed, You're you're open to being able to drop

210
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: them and pick somebody else up and stream the position

211
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: on a crazy stap regarding O. J. Howard, Sure, alright,

212
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: So he had six touchdown catches last year, six of them,

213
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: which is that's pretty damn good all things consider. I

214
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: was very surprised actually by that number. He had twenty

215
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: six catches total. Yeah, that's because a lot of his

216
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns were huge plays. A couple of them were on

217
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: the same little kind of sneaky play where he leaks

218
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: out from blocking and gets wide open down the field.

219
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: I think one was kind of on like a broken

220
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: play where James scrambled. Might be mixing him up, but

221
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: he did have like he You're right, he had few

222
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: catches a couple of big touchdowns. So that's that's a

223
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: tough touchdown, right to keep up? Yeah? Oh yeah, yeah,

224
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But but yeah, thirty nine targets

225
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: last year, twenty six receptions, four hundred and thirty four

226
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: and thirty two yards, and six touchdowns. You look at

227
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: the total just yardage in touchdowns, and you're thinking, Okay,

228
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: this guy's a talented player, super athletic. Could be in

229
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: an offense that will be forced uh to throw that ball,

230
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: but just not there. Yeah, that's like Rank said, I'm

231
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: not in on the Deshaun Jackson Goodwin at her free things.

232
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: They might be more week to week pick up in plays,

233
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: especially if somebody gets injured or traded or something like that.

234
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: But I mean, hump phrase. It makes sense why they

235
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: say he's in trenched As a slot receiver. He's been

236
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: a solid contribute in each of the last two years

237
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: in that role. Had eighty three targets, fifty five catches,

238
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: six yards, two touchdowns. Last year he had eighty three targets,

239
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: nasty one catches, sixty one yards one touchdown. So it's

240
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: not that's not anything we really want to sink our

241
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: teeth into in fantasy, except for like deepest of deep leagues.

242
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: You're starting four wide receivers, but you can make you

243
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: can understand why they would not want to just ship

244
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: out that production, because that's that's good from your third

245
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver, no doubt about it all. R. Let's do

246
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: the Rossal reset AFC East. We'll start with the Patriots.

247
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: We go top down, Patriots thirteen and three. Last year,

248
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: Tom Brady has reportedly beaten father time. That's the later

249
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: support that four. Now, I don't know's I don't know,

250
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't know it's I mean, he's that's that's what

251
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: he said. Can I say something about that? Though? Um,

252
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: not too. I hate to be a humble, humble bragger.

253
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean, not enough to keep me from doing it.

254
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: But I was. I was positioned outside the Patriots locker

255
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: room for the Bowl, for the Super Bowl, right outside

256
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: the tunnel where they walked in and out, and I

257
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: would watch, you know, I watched multiple times as Tom

258
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: Brady went in and out of the locker room, like,

259
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: good lord, this guy seems old, Like I like, I'm like,

260
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: what's it doesn't it doesn't translate on TV when you're

261
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: watching it. He still looks great. I mean even during

262
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: the game outside outside of when he tried to catch

263
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: the football, he looked, he looked fine. But you're like,

264
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: my god, this guy, like what is happening? He looked

265
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, he looks like he's hungover walking down, you know,

266
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: walking down to Sharky's and Hermosa Beach at ten am,

267
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: trying to find his car, like what they just wandered?

268
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: Like what is het? Like, I just never because all

269
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: the other guys that walk, you know, they come by you.

270
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: You're like this guy like yoked, he's rocked or he's

271
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: anything like that. Yeah, likens Brady, you might as well

272
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: have a robot and some slippers just cruising. But that's

273
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: how that's how bad. That's how rough and ship it looked.

274
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: I was. I was dumb struck with like, I'm like,

275
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I'm like, because he eats well and

276
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: he does all that stuff and he's beating all the time.

277
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: Like I said, you would you would think, okay, uh, look,

278
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: he's forty years old currently, he's gonna be forty one

279
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: when the season still he's turning forty one in August. There, Um,

280
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: he's just a few years away from receiving Medicare benefits.

281
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: What does he do in pro football? In the NFL

282
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: four fantasy managers, he's still gonna be great, you think so? Yeah,

283
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna stop like drafting him until

284
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: we actually see more visible signs of decline. And he's

285
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: shown us nothing over the past few years that he's

286
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: not going to be one of the top four or

287
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: five fantasy quarterbacks when it's all said and done. He's

288
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: still got weapons around him. He still wanted, he still

289
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: want got He's got the best tight ends, Rob Gronkowski.

290
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: What happened? What happened to Gronkowski? He's got a he's

291
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: got a backfield loaded with players. He's got uh Jordan

292
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: Matthews that there to help fill in the slot. He's

293
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: still got christ Birkheads still on that team. He's still

294
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: got Malcolm Yeah, Rex Burkhead. How dare you? How dare you? Yeah?

295
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm not I And by the way, don't take that

296
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: earlier diet tribe to me that I'm not going to

297
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: be drafting. It's kind of like when you see Ozzy

298
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: Osbourne on that reality TV show and you're like, this

299
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: guy can't talk. Then all of a sudden, he shows

300
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: up at Lallapalooza and he's belting out crazy trained like

301
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: it's night three. So you're still taking up Oh yeah, yeah,

302
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: why would we not? I don't know. I mean, look,

303
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: I look at some of the you know, we talked

304
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: about this roster reset. Here, I'll just run down very

305
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: quickly down. Yeah. Look, they lost a terrific left tackle

306
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: in Nate Soldier. They do this every year. Well still

307
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: they trade Listen, they trade away. Gonna let me run

308
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: down through the chains. I'll say my question here. I

309
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: I'll furiously take That's why we have an online rundown pal.

310
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: I've been writing notes. I've been busy sitting here voting

311
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: for Simba for the All Star Game. That's great. Uh. Look,

312
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: they lost left tackle Mades Older, terrific left tackle. They

313
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: drafted Isaiah win Uh to kind of fill in that

314
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: spot for the receivers. They traded away an explosive weapon

315
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: on the outside, Brandon Cooks. They lost Danny Amandola to

316
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. They traded for core Darryl Patterson, and they

317
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: signed Jordan Matthews, who looks like he's been washed, but whatever,

318
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: um they at running back Dion Lewis went to Tennessee.

319
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: Rank is changing the rundown on the fly for those listening.

320
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: He's also typing in that they lost Randy Moss and

321
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: because like the team then Sony Michelle the explosive running

322
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: back out of Georgia to pair up with Rex Burkhead. Okay,

323
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: now please go ahead, I mean you could. We could

324
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: go back in time. Don't don't forget to put Kevin

325
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: Falk on there too, and Fulk. We could go back

326
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: in time and we'd be having this game, same conversation.

327
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: Who was the who is that they traded away Logan

328
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: Mankins when they traded him to Tampa Bay? Like this

329
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: is the end, this is where it all ends for

330
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots. And you're like, uh, they're still going to

331
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, are still playing in the a f C

332
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: Championship Game. You talk about Brandon Cooks and Amundola, you

333
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 1: could have been and you know a couple of years ago, Oh,

334
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: they lost Randy Moss. He's gone forever. Now they lost

335
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: Wes Welker. There's no way he overcomes losing his safety

336
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: blanket Um. When you talk about the running backs, he's

337
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: gone through. He's lost La Garrett Blond and Jared Redman.

338
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: If you want to go way back, Kevin Fall, Corey Dillon.

339
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you can always talk about all these guys

340
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: who have left, you know, and they've they've they seem

341
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: to change players every year. The only two constants are

342
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: Brady and Belichick. And as long as those two guys

343
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: are still out there, it's, uh, it's like kiss touring.

344
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: Right now, it's Paul Stanley and the dude who sells

345
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: all the merch, Gene Simmons. But the other two guys

346
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: are different, right it doesn't matter. It's you know, their

347
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: their dudes in makeup, and it doesn't matter. I think.

348
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: I think the question, though, becomes from a real life perspective.

349
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: I expect Tom Brady to still be obviously a good player.

350
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: I don't see, you know, barring injury. It's tough for

351
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: me to see Tom Brady being anything but a great

352
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: player in real life football. That's different than fantasy. I mean,

353
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: you mentioned Randy Moss losing Randy when he had Randy Moss.

354
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: He was in the conversation to having one of the

355
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback season fantasy quarterback seasons ever when Randy Moss left.

356
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: Obviously he's still being value tumble dramatically, but he's still

357
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: a good fantasy last couple of years is yeah, from

358
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: historic levels to you know, nobody maintains those his look.

359
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: Rogers had that historic season, two, so did Manning. Then

360
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: they went back to look, Rogers had a great season.

361
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: What did he finish the next season? He's still finished

362
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: one or two? Right, But Brady so Brady since then?

363
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: So he had the fifty touchdown season, tore his a

364
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: c l nothing came back eight touchdowns, thirty six touchdowns,

365
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: thirty nine touchdowns, thirty four touchdowns five what a trash player?

366
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: Thirty three, thirty six, thirty two. It's a question of degrees, though, guys,

367
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's gonna be a bad play. I

368
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: literally just you just said he's going to be a

369
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: bad players. I just said he's gonna be a good

370
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: player in real life. I'm just said it from a

371
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective. Is it gonna be worth you know? Is

372
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: he gonna be a top four quarterback in fair I

373
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I have some question marks as to whether

374
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: or not that's true. That's all he's gonna be. Okay, Fine,

375
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: we'll move on. UM. Let's talk about the wid receivers

376
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: very quickly here, Uh, anything to get excited about, Cordalle Pattison,

377
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews. You had mentioned Jordan Matthews, Alex Gillhard. I'm

378
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 1: not really excited about it, But tell me why I'm not.

379
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: He's just he's just the name to keep an eye

380
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: on because he's going like undrafted, and there were points

381
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: in time where he was a very productive slot receiver

382
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: earlier in his career in with the Eagles, and if

383
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots line him up in that big slot kind

384
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: of role, he couldn't he could thrive there. I mean,

385
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 1: Edelman is coming back, but he's older, he's coming off

386
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: a big injury. We know Brady's got eyes for him.

387
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: But Brady has quickly built rapports with receivers in the past.

388
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: We saw with Brandon Cooks last year. They are quite

389
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: him in the off season, whom he was like a

390
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: top twelve player, just a name to consider. I still

391
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: like Chris Hogan. He's a solid value. He was super

392
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: consistent in fantasy with them. There wasn't getting like a

393
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: monumental target share, but he would get a nice he

394
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: had ran a nice combination of routes where he could

395
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: get you big plays and can get you touchdowns, and

396
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you'd be happy with that.

397
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: Other than gross, I'm not sure there's a I'm not

398
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: sure there's a pass catcher that I'm I'm interested in

399
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: at any price just because of I think there might

400
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: be some on these days. He's going like round to

401
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: eight Hogan. Yeah, if Hogan's going that high, there's a

402
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: zero percent chance I'm taking Hogan. What no chance in

403
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: hell I would take Chris Hogan that high given given

404
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: the consistency, Sir, that's like your wide receiver. Chris Hogan's

405
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: going in the sixth on Fantasy Football Calculator in twelve

406
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: team leagues. That's a horrible stand point oh five spending,

407
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: and you know what you talked about, that's a horrible price.

408
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews. You know, if you're one of those people

409
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: who at the end of their draft you missed out

410
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: on one of the top defense is or kickers, and

411
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna be the streamer, it's worth it to take

412
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: somebody like Jordan Matthews. Because you can wait out the preseason,

413
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: see what kind of role he he evolves into. Maybe

414
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: he's going to be used a lot in this lot

415
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: and everything like that. Then you've got yourself a valuable

416
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: little commodity. And then if he doesn't, then you dropped.

417
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: Then he's the guy that you drop when you go

418
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: and pick up the Bears defense in week one. Actually

419
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to pick up the Bears defense a week one,

420
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: but do you know you pick up all right? There

421
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: you go. Um Ogan's going later in MFL ten's going

422
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: about to pick pick and those still to two pricey,

423
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: no chance shot price I would take him there. Well,

424
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: here's some communities going around. He's priced his absolute max.

425
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: He's going around Sterling Shepard, Nelson, agil Are, Randall cobb Um,

426
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: trying to find some more wide receivers here, Christian Kirk,

427
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk is going that high on mfl's. Yeah, but

428
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: this might be skewed for some from some dynasty things. Still,

429
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that's an outrageous price to ask for

430
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan. All right. Uh. Running back Dion Lewis went

431
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: to Tennessee. As I mentioned again, Sony Michelle out of

432
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: Georgia gonna be pairing up with Rex Burkehead rank. I

433
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: think you're a little higher on Sony Michelle than I am. Sure.

434
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 1: I know he's a great athlete. I just uh, just

435
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: for me, I think the ball security concerns um and

436
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: just the fact that you know he wasn't and he

437
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: he enters a good situation, right because it's a good

438
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: offense and he's not going to be leaned upon to

439
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: be the guy that being said in the split backfield,

440
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: uh explained to the folks why you are pretty high

441
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: on Sony Michelle. I do like him. I know it's

442
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: not as simple as just saying like, well, he's gonna

443
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: be this year's Dion Lewis right, he's certainly gonna have

444
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: a role in that capacity. Uh. The one monkey wrench

445
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: in all this is Birkehead, because when Burkehead is healthy

446
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: and available, they use him an awful lot. But Sony Michelle.

447
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: I think that the thing with the Patriots running backs

448
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: is that everybody acts like it's this unsolvable riddle, but

449
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: really we we can distinguish the usage batters. That's pretty quick. Yeah,

450
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: it gets established who's going to be doing what, and

451
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: it always seems like the roles are kind of different.

452
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: Like la Garrett Blunt had that kind of a novel

453
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: a year where he had like I think it was

454
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: fifty five touchdowns one season where it was crazy. He

455
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: was just racking up the touchdowns. And he had entered

456
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: the year being undrafted in a lot of leagues. I

457
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: know in our NFL experts league, he wasn't. He was drafted.

458
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: I drifted. Again. This was like somebody who I drafted

459
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: in the last round and then you saw like, oh,

460
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: this guy might actually play a lot. I ended up

461
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: holding onto him. You get into situations like that, and

462
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: I think that Sonny Michelle has the pedigree, and I

463
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: know that ball security is something I would be concerned

464
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: with if he was going to a team with a

465
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: lesser coaching staff. Like if you if you have ball

466
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: security issues and you show up in Cleveland, You're like, yeah,

467
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't want that. But for whatever reason, I'm confident

468
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick is gonna find a way to make

469
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: that work. And if you don't get it fixed, you're

470
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: obviously not gonna play. So I'm comfortable with it. I again,

471
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: this is one of the disadvantage is of watching college

472
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: football is you watch these guys play in college and

473
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: you cannot be talked off him not translating to you.

474
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: And I'll just use Josh Ferguson as an example of

475
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: like watching too many Illinois games and being like, this

476
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: guy can actually play, and like every year trying to

477
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: convince people this is Fergie's year. The Colts don't have

478
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: anybody though, still like this year it could be Josh Ferguson.

479
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: I don't mean that in a bad way, but I

480
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: do like everything. And again, you know, he's going to

481
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: a high profile offense that has the need at the

482
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: running back position at one who's going to get the chance.

483
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people look at committees and

484
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: that gets awful, but it's also cool that somebody's gonna

485
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: get an opportunity. Yeah, so don't you want a piece

486
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: of a backfield on an offense you know is gonna

487
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: score some Yeah? You know. And and it also when

488
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: you talk about Tom Brady, if what you were talking

489
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: about how he's garbage because you were saying earlier, Um,

490
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: I think that's a direct quote. If you don't know,

491
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: you want to fall that he find me the audio? No,

492
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: no, no no, don't don't feel like you have. Okay, thank you.

493
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: But you know, let's say that Tom Brady has a

494
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: season like Drew Brees last year, where he's still a

495
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: very good NFL player, right, but the rookie running back

496
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: ends up getting a lot of them a lot of

497
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 1: the action. So you kind of, you know, you this

498
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: is what we're doing. We're speculating on this stuff. I

499
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: don't have the concrete answers, I don't have a crystal ball,

500
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: but I'm taking I'm taking an educated, calculated risk with

501
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: Sonny Michelle. It's just just the way that they've kind

502
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: of lined up their roster. It just seems like to me,

503
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: instead of going vertical, they're gonna go horizontal, you know

504
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: what I mean. They have the guys there, whether it's

505
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews being a big slot guy, you know, they're

506
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: various wide receivers, all these guys working in short areas,

507
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and they're not very you know.

508
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: It's to me, it doesn't look like they've constructed their

509
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: roster to be a vertical passing team. But I mean,

510
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: and again, a lot of that I'm sure is to

511
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: protect Tom Brady, right, you know what I mean? That's

512
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: when you take the big hits. It's when you're sitting

513
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: back in the pocket waiting for a big play to

514
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: open up. But okay, whatever the Bills nine and seven

515
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: last year, we talked about the Lesion McCoy thing. Buffalo

516
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: was terrible on offense last year. I don't know if

517
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: you know this. Uh, twenty nine in the league in

518
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: total yards thirty feet, in passing yards just a hundred

519
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: and seventy six passing yards per game, twenty two in

520
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: points per game at just eighteen point nine per contest.

521
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: So what does Buffalo do? Well? They get rid of

522
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: their dynamic quarterback. Of course, they trade away Tyrod Taylor.

523
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: They signed a j mccare and then they spent the

524
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: top seven pick on Josh one. They also had to

525
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: trade up to get Why did you do just keep

526
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor? Just keep, didn't they? They traded up for

527
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, didn't they? That was the Colts pick. That's right? Unreal?

528
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: Uh at running back? They signed that, by the way,

529
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: And wait, no, the Molts picked six and they got

530
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: didn't they know? They traded back and then got Quentin Nelson.

531
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: Still I forget. Wow, it feels like an eternity ago already.

532
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: Hold on, now I have to look. Wait. Yeah, the

533
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: Colts had quit Nelson at six and then seven was

534
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. That's who it was. At running back. Chris

535
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: Ivory some reason was signed by the Buffalo Bills. Ivory

536
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: has averaged three point six yards per carry over the

537
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: last two years. He was signed to be a backup. Bro,

538
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: why are you hayting? I mean, I guess you just

539
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: look bad. He's a fine backup if they end up

540
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: having a need at the running back position. De Marco

541
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: Murray still remains unsigned him. Okay, well there's that as well.

542
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: If they want three point two yards per carry, they

543
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: signed Marco Murray instead of Chris. I didn't say it

544
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: was a good option, right to Marco Murray as great

545
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: as he was for a long time when he started.

546
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean maybe maybe like an offseason of not even

547
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: go through training campbell help him. But man, was he

548
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: looked bad sluggish the last couple of years, well two

549
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 1: years ago he was actually all right because fantasy he

550
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: was all right. He still did not look like the

551
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: same guy on Oh I know, but because remember he

552
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: had that horrendous season in Philadelphia under Chip and then

553
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: then he went to Tennessee and everyone thought he was washed.

554
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: But he actually had a pretty good year that first

555
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: year with Tennessee. All the Tennessee at that time, and

556
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: maybe even this U currently has one of the top

557
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: two or three offensive lines in football, So um, I

558
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: think that's certainly help. But last year man Holly Hell

559
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray, he was fighting a lot of nagging injuries. Yeah,

560
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: there's that as well. At wide receiver, the Bills again

561
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: projecting to be pretty terrible in the passing game. Uh,

562
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin is still there? No big offseason acquisitions. I mean,

563
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: their biggest free agent signing at wide receiver, Jeremy Curly

564
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: there it is. That's not great, that's not that's not great. Uh,

565
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: no receivers really to speak up for Buffalo. I guess

566
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: I'll just throw out maybe Charles clay Charles Clay is

567
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: is not not great, but he's a fine super late

568
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: round guy in that vein. Again, if you miss out

569
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: on the big run of tight ends a streamer, he

570
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: you gotta remember, like his stats are to press les

571
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: you because he like injured his MCL pretty bad or

572
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: something and had to miss three or four weeks and

573
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: then was coming back and didn't get a full workload.

574
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: But for a while he was like PPR PPR gold.

575
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: He was getting you like ten twelve points in PPR

576
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: at um at the tight end position, which was which

577
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: was really solid for like a streaming pickup. So somebody

578
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on, especially um with the question

579
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: marks at wide receiver. But Kelvin Benjamin is like, aside

580
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: from the Shaw McCoy, Kelvin management is the only person

581
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: I might consider taking in this offense. And that's like

582
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: in the double digit rounds because you know he's got

583
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: touchdown upside, he's a good red zone threat. Uh, there's

584
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: a dearth of options there in the passing games, so

585
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: it would stand to reason that somebody would like to

586
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: throw it at the six ft five tree running routes

587
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: out there on the field. Kelvin Benjamin currently has a

588
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: a p H around one ten, so you can get

589
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: them pretty late. That's and that's fine. That's that's a

590
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: fine risk if he's your fourth or fifth wide receiver

591
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: because if he hits and turns into like a wide

592
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: receiver to kind of value, hooray. If not cut him.

593
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: Charles Clay yards last year just two touchdowns on thirteen games,

594
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: but as Alex Killhar mentioned, might have been battling some

595
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: injuries throughout his campaign as well. The Dolphins last year

596
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: six and ten, Jay Cutler is back on reality shows,

597
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: Ryan Tanna Hills slated to be the team's starting quarterback. UM,

598
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the wide receivers very quickly. Jarvis Landry gone.

599
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: They signed Danny Amondola and Albert Wilson. Um he they

600
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: joined a wide receiver corps that includes Devonte Parker and

601
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills on the outside. Adam rank are are given.

602
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill coming back after a full year off given

603
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: the why is there any pass catcher that you're interested

604
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: in here in South Beach? I kind of like Albert

605
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: Wilson perhaps is somebody who could break out. I would

606
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: like it a little bit more if they did have

607
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: a competent quarterback or somebody I could trust a little

608
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: bit more than Ryan Tannehill. And by the way, for

609
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: everybody who's now talking about how great Jay Cutler is

610
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: because of his his turn on what is it cavalery verry,

611
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: cavalry cavaliery, baby, Like, that's yes, that is the that

612
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: is the that's the gem I've been talking about. This

613
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: is like, this has been, this has been the national

614
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: treasure waiting to be unearth. Do you you idiots just

615
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: wanted to do smoking Jaimes? Congratulations the same person. We're

616
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: not getting into. Congratulations this guy. What are you talking about?

617
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: The guy? He's the best? No, no you no, no, no,

618
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: it's the same guy. No, no, no, I can see

619
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: him with a cigarette in his mouth on very cavalier.

620
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: You guys, you guys all bought your flat screen TVs

621
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: and then we're not watching high def channels. You were

622
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: just watching I literally you're playing eight bit video games

623
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: on it. All right, this is you. You were not literally,

624
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: we were not experiencing the full, the full gamut of

625
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: what Jake Cutler is. Okay, this is what it is,

626
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: and so you have we're talking about. I don't want

627
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: to talk about that now. I love Kenny Stills as

628
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: a as a later on value value. He's had a

629
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: solid I've written him up like every year for the

630
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: past few years. He's been pretty solid. Um, he's had

631
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: a decent target share. He's also I think I'm gonna

632
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: go pull up the stat right now, so let me

633
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: just kind of stretch this out until like actual numbers

634
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: to look at, don't the numbers? Okay? So Kenny Stills

635
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: has had seventeen plus percent of the team targets in

636
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: each of the last two years. His fifteen touchdowns in

637
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: that same span, uh lead the team. Uh, so he's

638
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: been a good touchdown score. Jarvis Landry left and he

639
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: had of the team's targets since so there's gonna be

640
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: way more opportunities. Like Ranks said, they went and picked

641
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,479
Speaker 1: up to um slot receivers to maybe try and replicate

642
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry's um what you call it, uh production in

643
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: the slot, but like, neither of them are Jarvis Landry,

644
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: so it would stand a reason that a few more

645
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: of those targets might go to the outside. And Stills

646
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: has coming as oh that's on my computer. Sorry I

647
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: don't notice, and like where's that sound coming from? Uh?

648
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: Good old auto play on NFL dot com articles. Uh,

649
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: and Stills is a much better value right now in

650
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: terms of ADP than Jante Parker because everybody's still hoping

651
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: Parker hoping that he hasn't got there yet. And when

652
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: it comes to those two, I'd much rather take the

653
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: more proven, consistent option and Stills like five rounds later.

654
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker ADP one hundred, around one hundred, Kenny Stills

655
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: ADP around one. Yes, so there you go, much much later.

656
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: We should talk about this backfield though. The backfield confuses me.

657
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: Man Kenyan Drake on the back end of last year

658
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: look like an absolute superstar in the making. Meanwhile, in

659
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: the off season, they signed Frank Gore and then they

660
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: drafted uber athletic Kalin Blage out of Arizona State, Adam Rank,

661
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: You've seen some kalin Blage. I've seen some kalin Blage.

662
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: We've seen some of the athleticism. Uh. He's he's peaked

663
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: a little, you know, shown a little a little burst

664
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: every now and again. But he hasn't obviously been a

665
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: consistent um producer on the football field. But but certainly

666
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: the metrics, the athletic measurements anyway, are a little bit

667
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: eye popping. I think I think more people are obviously

668
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: concerned about Frank Gore. Right, the the inconvenient truth is

669
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: still around here. Did you catch this quote from Gaze

670
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: by the way, Uh, somebody asked him about if Gore

671
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: was brought in to Pete to be like a mentor,

672
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: if he was gonna have a big role, and Gaye said,

673
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out. This is no different than what

674
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: we were kind of doing with Damien and Kenyon last year.

675
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a long season. This was the part

676
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: that I really caught my eye. We got caught in

677
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: a couple of situations last year where Kenyan was the

678
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: only guy we had and he had to take the

679
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 1: majority of the carries. Really, that's not what we want.

680
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: That's going to be tough over sixteen games season. Will

681
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 1: make sure that we spread this thing out. We'll use

682
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: both of those guys the right way. I mean, I

683
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: mean that doesn't make me feel good about drafting Kenny Drake. No,

684
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: it does not, I think. I think before the Frank

685
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: corstounding um to me. Anyways, Kenyan Drake was probably gonna

686
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: be a top ten pick in fantasy because he was

687
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: just that good. What that's a little rich, but I

688
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: mean top ten running back. A top ten running back,

689
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: like yeah, in the first round. No no, no, not

690
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: the first round. I think a top ten running back.

691
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: He was top twenty for sure, but he was and

692
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: going to crack the top ten over the guys that

693
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: are there. Really, yeah, are you crazy? Dude, he was

694
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 1: amazing last year in a small samples and small sample size.

695
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: But I mean people haven't gotten excited about the small

696
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: sample that's what for. But so here, let me let

697
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: me read you like the top eleven backs right now,

698
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: he's based on a DP And you tell me if

699
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: prior to Frank or Kenyan Drake would have cracked that,

700
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 1: Gurly Bell, Elliott, John d J Camara Barkley for Net,

701
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: Gordon Hunt and Cook and then sorry, Gordon Hunt, Gordon

702
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: Hunt and Dalvin Cook, DeVonta Freeman, Dalvin Cook. Yeah, all

703
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: those guys, you do, you would have taken him above

704
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: all of them above Dalvin Cook's coming on with a

705
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 1: c L. Yeah. He didn't mention Jordan Howard either, Jordan Howard,

706
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: uh is. The next three after that are Jerick McKinnon,

707
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy, Jordan Howard. Yeah. Because see that's why then

708
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 1: once we get through that, then it turns to Joe Mixing,

709
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Derrick, Henry Darius guys a guy. That's where

710
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: I thought Kennyan Trake would have slided. Oh he would.

711
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's in that. I think

712
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: he's absolutely in that Melvin Gordon territory without no way,

713
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: without without Frank Gore? How how was he not crazy?

714
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: Bad offense? Probably they like he only got those opportunities,

715
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: said because there were injuries and small sample size, Like,

716
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: I don't know, it didn't feel nothing about it felt good.

717
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: He would he had never been like a featured guy

718
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: at any point throughout his career. Yeah, I mean, I look,

719
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: I get that, but again, just I mean, just what

720
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: he put on tape last year. If you don't get

721
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: excited about that, I mean, that's that's pretty insane. I

722
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: just think, like like I said, I just think that

723
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: once hype starts building, guy's value starts rising. I mean,

724
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: for God's sake, Chris Hogan, you're just talking about Chris

725
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: Hogan be in six round. This is baffling to me.

726
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 1: That's mind boggling to me. Anyways, whatever, getting off Frank Gore.

727
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: By the way, um, you want to talk about an

728
00:36:53,800 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: incredible career here man um twelve consecutive seasons now, twelve

729
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: consecutive seasons, he has posted at least scrimmage yards in

730
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: twelve consecutive seasons at the running back position. That is

731
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: in incredible for a guy who came into this league

732
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: with some injury concerns. This guy has just been unbelievably durable.

733
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: He hasn't missed a game in one to three, four

734
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: or five, six years and seven years ago when he

735
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: was with San Francisco he missed one game. That is unbelievable. So, yeah,

736
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: when people are worried about Frank Gore, this is why

737
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: durable dude productive on the field. Um, he just seems

738
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: to be a productive player when he when he touches

739
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: the ball. Is he's super efficient? No, I mean the

740
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: guy hasn't had you know, uh been north of four

741
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: yards to carry in three seasons. But the guy's just

742
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: out there, man. I mean, his availability is definitely one

743
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: of his strongest suits. There's no question about it. But

744
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: twelve I mean yards scrimmage yards just again and again.

745
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a machine. The guy's an absolute machine.

746
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: And that's why he's probably going to be a factor

747
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: this year. Again, I agree it's a problem on the

748
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: offensive line. Josh Sitton was signed. He's a terrific offensive guard.

749
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: If he's been battling injuries, he's got to stay here,

750
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: I mean, because that's why that's why the Packers let

751
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: Josh Sitt and go on. A lot of people questioned it,

752
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: um if that was the right timing. Then he went

753
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: to the Bears that was playing really well. Was the

754
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: same back injuries that had plagued him with the Packers

755
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: came back with the Bears eventually caused them to cut

756
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: ties with him. Now he's at Miami. If he's on

757
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: the field, he's on the field. Jeff Sitting is like

758
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: one of it was earlier in his career one of

759
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: the best guards in football, but now like with a

760
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: back injury. I mean, when you're an offensive lineman, pretty

761
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,959
Speaker 1: important to to you know, leverage yourself against three pound

762
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: men trying to destroy your quarterback. The team also drafted

763
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: tighten Mike Gezki at a Penn State. Super talented and athletic.

764
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: He's a great pass catcher, not necessarily known to be

765
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: one of those he's he's more of one of those

766
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: what they call him move tight end. I'm saying, a

767
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: great pass catcher. It seems like they're intent on using

768
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: him like that. I have seen some reports he's struggling

769
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: to pick up the playbook and in such a little

770
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: bit so might not be one of those guys to

771
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: break the rookie tight end trend, but certainly named to

772
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. He might be a good streamer

773
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: to pick up. Okay, there you go. The Jets last

774
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 1: year five at eleven, last in the division, they added

775
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: Josh McCown at quarterback. They also, oh by the way,

776
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: drafted Sam Donald at number three. But they had McCown

777
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: last year at quarterback. Well, he got injured. I think

778
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: they's coming back. They resigned, said they resigned Josh McCown. Uh,

779
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: they added Isaiah Rowel via free agency, added Teddy Bridgewater.

780
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: Though that might have been what you were mixing up

781
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: in your mind. I think it was. They resigned McCown,

782
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: added Teddy. That's right. Um, they again have Isaiah row Well.

783
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: The crow was flying now agree um adp late eighties

784
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: for Isaiah crow Well thinks a really good value if you,

785
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: especially if you ski wide receiver tight end QB early.

786
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson will breakout wide receiver last You're no doubt

787
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: about it. Sixty three receptions, ninety one yards, seven touchdowns

788
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: for Robbie Anderson. But he does still face some legal

789
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: trouble suspensions. I don't know, I mean whatever he's facing

790
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 1: legal trouble, so we know that also a wide receiver

791
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: they signed to Rell Prior, who joins a wide receiver

792
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: group of Robbie Anderson, as we mentioned, Jermaine Curse, Quincy

793
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: and Noonwall. Does anyone in terms of these pass catchers

794
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: interest you at all? I was. I was looking at

795
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson last year. Uh, and as you mentioned, he's

796
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: still facing some legal trouble, so hopefully that gets worked

797
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: out in the near future. Quincy and noon Wall probably

798
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: is underrated to as an NFL player. I just don't

799
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: know what this team is gonna do. And currently this is,

800
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: as luck would have it. I'm completing the series of

801
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: five reasons why your team will make the playoffs. I

802
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: have the Jets and Dolphins, uh making it in well,

803
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: you have to pick them team. But the way there's

804
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: a lot of well, a lot of times outside of

805
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals, Bengals, Jets and Dolphins were three teams where like,

806
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 1: here's what needs to happen for everything to go right.

807
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: And I think for the Jets to make the playoffs,

808
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 1: you need big seasons from Anderson and Quincy and noon

809
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: Wa and of course the Crow needs to fly. I

810
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: don't know that that's gonna happen. The best case scenario

811
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 1: for the Jets is that they're the quarterback who starts

812
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: Week one starts the whole season. That means that if

813
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: Josh McCown or Teddy Bridgewater wins that job out of camp,

814
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: that means they keep the job the whole year because

815
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: they're playing so well and you can't afford to benjam

816
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: What you don't want to get into as a situation

817
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 1: where it's like, well, now it's weak eight, here comes

818
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: Sam Donald and you've got a twenty one year old

819
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: rookie out there, and then the fantasy values of Anderson

820
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: and Quincy and Noon one would likely take a hit.

821
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: So it's it's an interesting situation. It's a difficult situation,

822
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: and it's one that I'm avoiding unless the value is

823
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: just too great. Jermaine Curse I thought was pretty good player.

824
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what he actually had some solid fantasy

825
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: weeks to margrets were there. So it's really not a

826
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: bad receiver room. No, I mean, it's it's not that

827
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: you're going to it's it's not top heavy. But it's

828
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: also not like a bunch of scrubs by any stretch

829
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 1: like they're they're good players, and uh, there'll be guys

830
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: that could be good matchup based players are in deeper

831
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: leagues to round out a receiving corps. Like I mean,

832
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: they're not that not the type of players that are

833
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: gonna like excite you week to week. But hey, if

834
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 1: they're giving you reliable production. But that jet, that jet

835
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: offense was like surprisingly efficient and scoring quite a few

836
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: points when McCown was under center. So if he's there

837
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: right away again, or if Donald Donald comes in and

838
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: delivers on his promise like they're, they're they got an

839
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: extremely underrated offense top to bottom that works too. He Again,

840
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: going back to my point, it's like whoever start tweak one.

841
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: If it is Sam Donald who wins the job because

842
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: he plays so well and he starts wire to wire,

843
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: then that's a good sign and that means that they offer.

844
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: But then again that's something that again we don't have

845
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: the answers right now. We're just speculating. All right, we

846
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: shall and Tripier for England. What are we talking about right? Yeah?

847
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 1: Is he is he a good Do we like him?

848
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't know his team? The World Cup starting right now?

849
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: This I'm just saying somebody was asking, we've gotten so

850
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: much positive feedback because we were because I'm not on

851
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: the show, because we were the last time we had

852
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: potted Uh, we had watched the England Peaks live as

853
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: we were wrapping. Yeah, and we were losing it. But

854
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: but yes, um, speaking of soccer fans, Alex kill Har,

855
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: Yes that is me, that's you, pal Uh. It's a

856
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: sad day here man on the podcast. Yeah. Look man um.

857
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: For those folks who don't know, Alex Galhar is the

858
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: guy who wanted to and had the will to restart

859
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: the podcast as an actual podcast and not a refurbishing

860
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: of the TV shows audio. Um, when it was just

861
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: repurposed audio the show. The podcast, the quote unquote podcast

862
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: was from Fantasy Live on the network with Fabriano and

863
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: you guys and stuff. They would just clip that audio

864
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: and the show. And I was making the case for

865
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: a couple of years. I was like, we're the NFL,

866
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: we should have our own fantasy podcast. And then people

867
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: were like, oh, that's a good idea, and I was

868
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: like yeah, no, no crab. And then I was like,

869
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 1: can you guys get like, can we get a producer

870
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: and get this thing off the ground. And they're like, yeah,

871
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 1: we don't have any money, and I was like, okay,

872
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: sure whatever. So I I learned the role. I you know,

873
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: did a crash course in producing back there in the

874
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: big studio where Christina is sitting, and then helped get

875
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: this bad way off the ground. And here we are

876
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: now years later, you know what I mean? You know

877
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: what I mean? So and that was uh oh, my goodness.

878
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: Was that was that three full seasons ago? At least

879
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: maybe four? Honestly, I think it might have been four. Craziness.

880
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: It's been a long time, man, and we've had a

881
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: great time. Um. I think I think one of the

882
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 1: things that um, I've come to appreciate and and it's

883
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: kind of the the vibe that we've kind of put

884
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: on this show overall is the act that you know,

885
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: obviously it's pretty laid back. You're gonna get you're you're

886
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 1: gonna get good info. Um, We're not gonna just beat

887
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: you to death with info, though, And I just I

888
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: think that's kind of our sweet spot is we're gonna

889
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: give you great information, but we're gonna have a blast

890
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: doing it. Um as well. I mean, listen, we're gonna

891
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: give you next year stats. We're gonna give you all

892
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: the the advanced metrics and all that, but man, we're

893
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: also gonna talk about beers and beards, yes, movies and

894
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: all that kind of good stuff as well. But Alex,

895
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,280

898
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: who don't know. He's just such a professional man, very

899
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: very professional and in this business, believe it or not,

900
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: that's actually pretty tough to find. Um. And it's been

901
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: an absolute pleasure working with you, especially on this podcast. Well,

00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,280
Speaker 1: I think most of the folks know kind of what's happening,

907
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: but just fill the listeners in on you know what's

908
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: next for Alex gilhar yet? Well what's next is uh?

909
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: Starting next week a lengthy drive across country. Uh, I'm

910
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: taking I'm taking my time that I'm gonna stop and

911
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: visit a couple of friends doing quite a looping route

912
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: back to Wisconsin. But then once I get up there

913
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: this fall, I'm gonna start law school at the University

914
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: of Madison, Wisconsin, go Badgers on Wisconsin, UH and UH

915
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: after that, and hoping to get into some sort of

916
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: kind of life of public service. Want I want to

917
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 1: be able to have a degree that I can give

918
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: back to the community and really help people that that

919
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: need a voice and things like that. So that's that's

920
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: the path. That won't be for a couple of years

921
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: because law school is a quite the endeavor, but I'm

922
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 1: looking forward to I'm very excited for that next step.

923
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: I'll miss all of you guys. Obviously, I'll keep in

924
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: touch over Twitter dot com and like that. But yeah,

925
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: I'm pumped for it. And that's so that's what's coming

926
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: up for me. Can you talk about how difficult that

927
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: decision was, because I know there was a seminal moment

928
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: your life, where your where you were, the seeds of

929
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: this began. But look, it's not like you're walking away

930
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: from a job that you hate. You're walking away walking

931
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 1: away from a job that's great with a lot of

932
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: people I love and a promising career in in media

933
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,479
Speaker 1: but uh, it was something I wrestled with for a while,

934
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 1: and I just really wanted to do something more with

935
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: my time on this earth. And I had been kind

936
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,240
Speaker 1: of wrestling with that for a while, and then given

937
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: all that's happening in America in the world, I thought

938
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: the time was right and I was I was young

939
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 1: enough and not committed to anything at this point, you know,

940
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: don't have a wife or kids or anything like that,

941
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 1: or a house out here. So I decided that the

942
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: the move and the career change and financial burden of

943
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: going back to law school would be well worth it.

944
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: So Adam, like you worked with Alex a lot closer

945
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: on the dot com side, Can you talk about you

946
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: know you and you've been here with NFL media or

947
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: you know since my whole life? Yeah, day one, twenty years,

948
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: yet I've held twenty published NFL publishing days. Yeah, because

949
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 1: I was a teenager when I was interning NFL publishing.

950
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Yeah, I wasn't even all. I gotta think

951
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: that one of the first functions I went to with

952
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: the NFL, I was not allowed to legally drink. But

953
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: they didn't care. Like that's a good wasted It doesn't matter. M,

954
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: can you talk about what the difference has been once

955
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: Alex Gillhark kind of joined the staff. Sorry, just score.

956
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that guy they just scored off of

957
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: a freek. He looks literally the guy you just mentioned.

958
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 1: He looks like a guy who would Christina backed me up.

959
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: He looks like a guy who would play for the

960
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 1: Texas Rangers, which makes me automatically hate him. I just can't.

961
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: I just I just see he's like, Oh, he would

962
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: be somebody who would who would slide in spikes high

963
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: and try to take out Angelton Sis. Come on, what

964
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: a kick? Come on, what a play. That's a chance,

965
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: that's a that's a textbook. That is so good. It

966
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: seems so easy. We like how people be like how

967
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: could he not stop that? Like it's so difficult to

968
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 1: even confrom speed and everything that's coming up, with everything

969
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: that's going on, but not to not to get off

970
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: the point. And M, this whole count is my depth.

971
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: So don't even go to me, because this is what

972
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,439
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about a few of the things.

973
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: Because Alex joined a very special group at a very

974
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: special time here at NFL Media, Our boss Carmen Dukes

975
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 1: was putting together an all star crew, and we went

976
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 1: out and did a lot of cool things that we

977
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: alluded to it earlier in the show. Uh. We did

978
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: this this project called Fan Pass where we would go

979
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 1: behind the scenes and we would act like, you know, fans,

980
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: like what what fans would do if you were given

981
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: the access that we are given. And in particular, there

982
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 1: was one draft, it was the Taylor Luan Draft, and

983
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 1: we got an opportunity to sit and talk to Mike

984
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: Stoops uh in the green room of the s S

985
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: Y and Y or d n Y in New York,

986
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: right across the street from Radio City Music Hall, and

987
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: just had just conversations just like not we weren't interviewing him.

988
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: We were just sitting there passing the time. And at

989
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: one point Rudy Giuliani came in when he was still

990
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: America's mayor, you know, and he was still a high prestige,

991
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: and we just had this long conversation about baseball, like

992
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't about anything else, wasn't about politics or anything

993
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: like that. And me being an Angels fan, it was

994
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: interesting because I was like, hey, two thousand two, we

995
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: always beat you guys, uh, and unfortunately you got us

996
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 1: in two thousand nine. I think, yeah, that time would

997
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: have passed, you know. So it's conversations like that. We

998
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: got to go and hang out in a in a

999
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: in a in a hotel room with Barry Sanders, who

1000
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: told us this great story. And I said, we had

1001
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: a star studded morning. Now. Yeah, we went up and

1002
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: Barry and I go, Hey, I go, I gotta go

1003
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: ask you this question. And I go not a lot

1004
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: of people would know this, but you came UH to Detroit.

1005
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: You wore number twenty one famously in UH at Oklahoma State.

1006
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: You come to Detroit, you were number twenty, which was

1007
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 1: the number one by Billy Sims. Was that kind of

1008
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: a shot at him? And he goes, no, that was

1009
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: actually Wayne Fonse wanted me to carry that legacy because

1010
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: Billy Simms had his career cut short. Um had his

1011
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: career cut short, so he wanted number twenty to be

1012
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 1: established as something meaningful for the Detroit Lions. You're like,

1013
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,280
Speaker 1: that's really cool. He goes, yeah, I grew up rooting

1014
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: for them as a fan, you know, because my dad

1015
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 1: was a huge Oklahoma fan. I'm like, oh, yeah, well,

1016
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: I mean except when you played at Oklahoma stake goes No,

1017
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: he goes my dad, Barry Sanders. Dad uh rooted for

1018
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: Oklahoma over his side, which is amazing, and for a

1019
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: couple of years it makes sense because Thurman Thomas was

1020
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 1: starting over him. Anyways, but just having experiences like that.

1021
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: We went to the San Francisco Super Bowl and there

1022
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: was a late night we were getting we were kicked

1023
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: out of the lobby of the San Francisco Hilton and

1024
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: this guy comes up because the bars in the lobby. Anyways,

1025
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: you guys have to leave. I go, well, we're staying

1026
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: at the hotel and the lobby never closed, so you

1027
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: realistically can't kick us out. But said, well, you know

1028
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: it's early enough. I'll go run to a liquor store,

1029
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: will grab some beers. So as Marcus, Alex and I

1030
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: and his father playing cribbage, making a lot of noise,

1031
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm surprised we weren't kicked out going crazy. I mean,

1032
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: just little moments like that. I mean, obviously going to

1033
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: a game super Bowl is amazing. I don't want to

1034
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: be dismissive of that, but just like little moments like that,

1035
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: when we are able to share that, I'll I'll carry

1036
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 1: with me for a long time. But the biggest thing

1037
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: is something that you mentioned about the podcast, and it's

1038
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: not necessarily the podcast is a part of it. But

1039
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: if you have followed NFL fantasy over the last five

1040
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 1: six years, uh, it was it was kind of not

1041
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: great for a long time. It was i would say,

1042
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: borderline dreadful. And Alex came in and really took ownership

1043
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 1: of it, really took an interest in making it something special.

1044
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: And the cool thing about the fantasy space is it's

1045
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: not necessarily the big players who were the industry leaders,

1046
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 1: you know. It's not like, yeah, I mean, obviously Matthew

1047
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: Barry does a nice job and Brad Evans does a

1048
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: great job with y'ah here, but there's a lot of

1049
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: of satellite guys and I don't not that like j

1050
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: J and Evan Silvan, all the great fantasy voices, we

1051
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: were actually so far behind, so far despite being the NFL.

1052
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: And I don't want to say it was all Alex

1053
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: because I don't want to take away from what you

1054
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: have been doing, James and Marcus and the and the

1055
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: fantasy hipsters and everyone, but Alex was the leader of that.

1056
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 1: He was and the reason why that I feel that

1057
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: NFL fantasy is now on par with all of those

1058
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: names that I mentioned a moment ago is because of

1059
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: Alex and his diligence and his his pride in trying

1060
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: to make it the best that it can absolutely be.

1061
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: And I honestly believe that we would not be where

1062
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 1: we are in the industry if it wasn't for Alex.

1063
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: So above the personal stuff the professional stuff, and it's

1064
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to to really you fill that void. Well,

1065
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: I miss not seeing a packer's hat and the cube next,

1066
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: but it was worth it. It was worth it. It

1067
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,919
Speaker 1: was worth it. Sit my giant heads. So I'm gonna

1068
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: leave him there for whatever. It's my cube, but it

1069
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 1: was worth it. And uh, I can't thank you enough

1070
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 1: for being a friend, for being a great co worker.

1071
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,160

1096
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean DJ is not only one of the best

1097
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: analysts out there right now, I think he's super smart

1098
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: and he's still well connected. He knows the game really

1099
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 1: good at analyzing it, both from the draft and during

1100
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: the season. But DJ is also just one of the

1101
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: nicest people. You're ever gonna be a complete by the way,

1102
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 1: a complete psychopath because he drives from like he hipped

1103
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: like two and a half hours away. But you're talking

1104
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 1: about those moments that do you remember. I think it

1105
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 1: was at that same draft rank We're having a slice

1106
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 1: of pizza with at one of the rays, one of

1107
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 1: the which rays it was, It was on six different

1108
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 1: rays and six and fifty four. But yeah, we're having

1109
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: a slice of pizza with Daniels. Youremya. But on the

1110
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: on the tap of the draft, it was like what

1111
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: late Wednesday night, We're all they're just having a having

1112
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 1: a piece of pizza, you know, shooting the breeze And

1113
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 1: it was like my first year with the NFL and

1114
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 1: DJ was just nicest could be, treating me like a

1115
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: normal dude. And uh stayed in you know, close with

1116
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: him ever since. So he's great. On more power to him.

1117
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: It's awesome. That's great. Um, Producer, Christina, what you got? Um.

1118
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of you have seen it,

1119
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: but on Netflix. I just started watching The Staircase. My

1120
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 1: old roommates watched it and loved it. Really. Yeah, it's

1121
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: so interesting, so I highly recommend that all of my

1122
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: friends have seen it. And it's a it's a documentary, right,

1123
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: it's like making a murder kind of situation where it

1124
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 1: was a case for a long time. Yeah. It follows

1125
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: novelist from North Carolina. They're investigating this to whether or

1126
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 1: not he murdered his wife. And it's very interesting. So

1127
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean it leaves you at the end wondering whether

1128
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: or not he did it. But it's very interesting. I

1129
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 1: would watch it. It's about eleven episodes. I think, Okay,

1130
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: it's not um alright, so I got mine out the way,

1131
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 1: producer Christina Adam right got the floor? Is yours mine?

1132
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 1: Or is yours? Alex k Well, first I want to

1133
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 1: get a couple of like smaller depths out of the way.

1134
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: I saw a great moment on Twitter today about a

1135
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: guy who goes by brother nature is at is at

1136
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 1: Cold Game Kelve I think his full name is Kelvin.

1137
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: But this guy, wherever he lives, he has like become

1138
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: best friends with the deer, white tailed deer that live

1139
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: in his area to the point where like he has

1140
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: nicknames for them all and they recognize them and their

1141
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: tails wag like dogtails when he comes up, and he'll

1142
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: feed them like bananas and strawberries and carrots and and

1143
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: talk with them all the time. Like he'll be driving

1144
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 1: on the road and be like, oh, look it's my girl,

1145
00:57:57,840 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: Ta ta, And then he'll roll down the window and

1146
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: the deer will come it up. But if he's got

1147
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: any food, give us some food, and then they'll like

1148
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: hang out and walk away. The video the videos are

1149
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: hysterical and it was as a Twitter moment, but you

1150
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: can go find him and watch some of the best ones.

1151
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: Very very funny daily adapt to the Tide Cave rescuers

1152
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: in that whole operation that was just insane and challenging,

1153
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: and that they got them all out and you know,

1154
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: to the to the guy who lost his life trying

1155
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: to save the people, like just in insane situation and

1156
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: an amazing recovery effort by a lot of people. So

1157
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 1: that was really awesome to see. And then obviously last

1158
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: I have to just give a daily adapt to all

1159
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: of our listeners and readers. You know, we wouldn't be

1160
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 1: able to do what we do or have the success

1161
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: of this podcast if people didn't actually download and listen

1162
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: and tweet at us about everything from our takes and

1163
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady being terrible as James said, or wow, or

1164
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, James being bad at geography or the beards,

1165
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: or Adam Ranks epic filibusters, or me getting talking about

1166
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: hocus Pocus, which I still think is the single thing

1167
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: I've been tweeted out about the most in my time

1168
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: at the NFL, which is hilarious and shocking, but it's

1169
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: a it's a cult classic and I we will watch

1170
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 1: it again this October and I welcome your ats. People.

1171
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: What a strange shield to die. So thanks to all

1172
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: of you guys. You know, we we wanted to make

1173
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: something special and build it up over here, and I

1174
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: think we were successful in that and wouldn't be possible

1175
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:17,919
Speaker 1: without all the people that clicked and listened and tuned

1176
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: in and uh, you know, got to hang out with us.

1177
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 1: And I've had the good fortune of bumping into a

1178
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: number of listeners at various points. One time, I had

1179
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: left my credit card at a bar and I went

1180
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: there and then I was like, I'm I went there

1181
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: the next day and I was like, what the hell,

1182
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: I'll get like a sandwich and a beer. And when

1183
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: I was asking for my card back and he was

1184
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 1: like Gallard, Like, are you Alex Gallhard from NFL Fantasy.

1185
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, that's me. So then I shot

1186
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: the breeze with that guy. Yeah. When I went to London,

1187
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: I met up with a bunch of great listeners over

1188
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: there two separate times, bumped into some people elsewhere. You know,

1189
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: It's just we got a wonderful audience here, uh that

1190
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, I will certainly miss when I'm gone there.

1191
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: They made everything, made everything worthwhile, all the all the

1192
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: long hours and you know, hard nights and whiffs and uh.

1193
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 1: My parting gift to all of you though, will the

1194
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 1: uh the last I think, probably the last piece I'm

1195
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: officially going to write for NFL Fantasy is going to

1196
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 1: be looking back at some of my biggest whiffs in fantasy.

1197
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: Is that I duve. I ducked through the archives and who, boy,

1198
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: are there some gems. There are some good ones. A

1199
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 1: better person much like you, and you're you're Josh Ferguson Love.

1200
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: I had to go back down the David Cobb worm

1201
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: for a while, which was which was painful to say.

1202
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: It's fun to laugh at other people when they're doing

1203
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: That's why I hope everybody will get a kick out

1204
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: of this, and I'm sure many of you will have

1205
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,919
Speaker 1: been foiled by some of the same things that I made.

1206
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: Like that's gotta be that's gotta be something that you say,

1207
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: quote tweet your biggest fantasy mistake, send me yours as well.

1208
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: But also you know, like Toby Gerhardt, remember those days

1209
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: Cordarrell Patterson when his ADP came to Downing. Oh, I

1210
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: didn't even think about Cordell Pattison, but I guess everybody

1211
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: was on him, so I didn't. That wasn't one that

1212
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: was I feel I was the most egregious on that one.

1213
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, Cordarrel was definitely somebody that everybody with

1214
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: I took when we did a Dynasty startup. I took

1215
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: Cordarrel and like the fifth round he startup, don't get

1216
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 1: caught him. Like three years later that team still won

1217
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: a championship, though it's not ruined by it. Baby. Well

1223
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 1: it was an emotional show. Um. I felt like it

1224
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: was a fitting end though. Yeah, it was good. I

1225
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 1: got some rank filibusters, got James trashing a great player

1226
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: that I didn't filibuster at all. All I missed all.

1227
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 1: We meant that James geography, you know, got it all.

1228
