1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: This is the business of sports where in the situation 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: that we haven't dealt with in modern times, pandemic here 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: has really accelerated the investments that we've been advocating for 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: for years. From a Macrow standpoint, I think our sport 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: industry is really forced to look at the business a 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: little bit differently. In depth conversations with the leaders in 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: the sports industry. Who wants to be the sacrificial lambs 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: that shows up at the first big major sporting event 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: were part of something much bigger than the sports right 10 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: now and the health and safety of our stakeholders that 11 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: looks much important every moment. I think we're all from 12 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: the business respective thinking about the impact that the virus 13 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: is having across the country. In Bloomberg Business of Sports 14 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: from Bloomberg Radio, him Michael Barr, and you're listening to 15 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: the Business of Sports. We're here Monday's, Wednesdays and Thursdays 16 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: to explore the big money issues in the world of 17 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: sports and talk to some of the biggest players in 18 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: the industry. Today. We look ahead a week four teen, 19 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: only one month left in the NFL season, and I'm 20 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: joined by Bloomberg to your producer Rich Truman, do not 21 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: forget to catch his weekly fantasy football column that comes 22 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: out every Thursday. This season on the terminal, we're missing 23 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: our dear friend Bloomberg Intelligences Damian Sassaur. Which is too 24 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: bad because now all teams are a lot of leagues 25 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,199 Speaker 1: are now in the playoffs because you play probably into 26 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: a week thirteam and now you get the fourteen, fifteen 27 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: and sixteen. So teams are on the buy. But teams 28 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: like me, I have to scrap. So I'm scrapping with 29 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: Damian uh and you're you're on the by. This is 30 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: a great time of year. You know why playoffs I'll 31 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: talk about playoffs. You're kidding me? Playoffs. I just hope 32 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: we can win a game. Do you remember that? That 33 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: was Jim More back in two thousand one. Wasn't the 34 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: coach of the Saints. He was a coach of the Colts, 35 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: and that's when a reporter asked him if they were 36 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: going to make the playoffs. I think there were four 37 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: and six at that time, and they ended up not 38 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: making the playoffs. So Michael boy, you're right, it is 39 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: playoff time. Charlie Vohmer by Foreigner League has the buy. 40 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: I am lucky enough to have a buy also, and 41 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: you're playing Damien. But this brings me to a different point. 42 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: I drove my daughter home for the Thanksgiving holiday and 43 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: I made her, as punishment, listen to our podcast, and 44 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: she goes, can I ask you a question, Why are 45 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: you guys talking about your league when nobody really cares 46 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: about your league because they're not in your league? So 47 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: maybe we shouldn't spend so much time talking about our 48 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: league now. And and I was thinking about that because 49 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: you brought that up, I think, but last week and 50 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: I was thinking about that, and I have an answer. 51 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: And and it's only because a lot of other fantasy 52 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: football players are in similar boats that we are right 53 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: and maybe we can give some advice to them listening. 54 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: So plus, if you're out of the playoffs, and then 55 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: then you're down, and you know, I read a lot 56 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: of things, and so show media this morning. Uh Zekiel 57 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: Elliott had three chances at the one yard line against 58 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: Baltimor last night to punch it in and that costs 59 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: a lot of teams a chance to make the playoffs 60 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: because he got stopped and then um they end up 61 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: throwing a touchdown past to Mari Cooper instead. So is 62 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: again matter of inches or points in some instances whether 63 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: you make the players or not. Well, you brought this 64 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: up several weeks ago, and that is they're putting Zeke 65 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: the defense in the box, and and he's not those 66 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: fantastic numbers that you got from Zeke maybe last year 67 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: or year before that, You're not getting him this year 68 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: because there has been a down slope with the passing 69 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: game for Dallas and now everybody's focused on Zeke. Well, 70 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: you know, I did write an article about four or 71 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: five weeks ago. Now is the time of the bench 72 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: Zekil Elliott. He really has only been a like running 73 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: back to type of players for the last five or 74 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: six weeks. With Prescott out, that offense really has fallen 75 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: apart right, And it's it's too bad because now this 76 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: week coming up, by the way, I want to add 77 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: all just like they used to say in the match 78 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: game in round one, everybody plays all sixteen teams at 79 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: sixteen games are gonna be going uh this week? Uh, Dallas, 80 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: believe it or not, they're playing Cincinnati. They are the 81 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: favorite three and a half. Can they pull it off? 82 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: I was looking at some statistics about the Cowboys. Um, 83 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: they are giving up I believe the most UH in 84 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: the top three rushing yards per per game. They're giving 85 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: up over thirty points per game, and they have three 86 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: wins this season. They realistically should have lost that Falcons 87 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: game with that onside kick and the Giants had them 88 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: also UH in the in the grasp of defeat, and 89 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: the Giants let that go. They easily could have one 90 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: win this year and they could be in the race 91 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: for the quarterback at of Clemson. Speaking of quarterbacks, UH 92 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: quarterbacks this week, which I guess the big question in Philadelphia. 93 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: If Carson Wentz is done for the season, I'm saying 94 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: not done, is in an injury, I'm saying done that 95 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: he might be on the bench. Do you get Jalen Hurts? 96 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: You have to get Jalen Hurts because he has that 97 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: run running ability and in so many cases, like a 98 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, you run for sixty yards, that's a that's 99 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: the equivalent of a touchdown. So he came in, he 100 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: looked good, he completed a long touchdown pass. The team 101 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: needs to spark. Their offensive line is very weak. Not 102 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,799 Speaker 1: that Carson Wentz a slow, but maybe he could escape 103 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: the rush a little better than wins, So I think 104 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: he's definitely a valuable player if you if you need 105 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: a quarterback. Yeah, and and the wins that I see 106 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: now is not the same wins that I had seen 107 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: two years ago. Yeah, but you know, I think overall 108 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: the team is a lot weaker than two years ago. 109 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: Their offensive line. He gets pressured almost every time he 110 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: drops back. So the interesting would be what happens to 111 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: the like Dallas Goddard, who I have in my other league, 112 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: has been very very good as his value going to 113 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: go down now with Wentz out because Wentz always looks 114 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: to the tight ends urges back, but got It's been 115 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: getting a lot of targets. Curious to see how that 116 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: affects his fantasy value for the rest of the year. 117 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: In your fantastic article, h the value picks, I've been 118 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: following him and that's why I'm in the playoffs. Playoffs, 119 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: who are you recommending? You know, I'm looking to the 120 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: Chargers Falcons game. I'm surprised that the over unduring that 121 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: game is forty nine and a half because I think 122 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a high scoring game. Uh, the Chargers, 123 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: There's no way I see them having another Goose Egg. 124 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: Last week they got shut out by the Patriots, but 125 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: they're playing the Falcons, who are a lot weaker on 126 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: the road than they are at home. The Falcons, I believe, 127 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: give up the third most passing yards per game in 128 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: the league, and I really could see that a high 129 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: scoring games. I like Justin Herbert in that game. I 130 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: like Matt Ryan in that game. If you're looking for 131 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: value players, or or the Delhi fantasy leagues, obviously Keenan 132 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: Allen and Julio Jones and Cala Ridley always must starts. 133 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: I'd like Hunter Henry in that game. I think you 134 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: could get a lot of value in that game. So 135 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: my article this week I pointed to that game for 136 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: a lot of value if you're looking for it. Yeah, 137 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: and and Atlanta is only favored by two and a 138 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: half at this point, and I'm with you, I can 139 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: see that going sky high. So in fact, I might 140 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: want to get my bed in now for the overcoming 141 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: here running backs. Uh, here's a guy, yes, and I 142 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: do have him on my team. I benched him and 143 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: I shouldn't have benched him last week, cam Akers. I 144 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: like him as a running back, and it's barring that 145 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: he's going to play this this weekend. He looks like 146 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: he's going to be now the number one running back 147 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: for the Rams. He did get banged up at the 148 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: end of the game. I believe I have him in 149 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: my other league, held onto him like you did every 150 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: I'd never dropped him, you know. He started the first 151 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: game and then got injured, and I've been holding onto him, 152 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: just waiting for him like you like you for the comeback. 153 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: And he does look like he could emerge for the 154 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: last month of the season as their top running back. 155 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: So I'm hoping you're right because I have him in 156 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: my other league. Uh. The New York Jets. Uh, Frank Gore. Uh, 157 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: he's in the concussion protocol which brings two running backs 158 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: on the team maybe in play, and that could be 159 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: Josh Adams and Ty Johnson. Is this the same Ty 160 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: Johnson that was on your Detroit Lions last I believe so, yes, 161 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: because I remember I picked him up in our league 162 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: last year and it did nothing. Hey listen. Uh, the 163 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: Jets running game actually looked good, but they did play 164 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Uh. They have the Seattle matchup this weekend. 165 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: Seattle is going to be looking out for revenge, you 166 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: have to losing to the Giants, you know, that Jet game, 167 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: even though they fired the defensive coordinator. I mean, not 168 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: that they needed any incentive to uh, you know, I 169 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: just don't see how the team comes back from that. 170 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: So I see Seattle big over the Jets in that game. 171 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: Greg Williams got fired for that, and listen, Ryan called 172 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: it the worst Yes coaching decision he's ever seen. Here's 173 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: the problem with all of that. The play before the 174 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: Hail Mary, they ran another man, demand blitz, And the 175 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: only reason why they got away with it is because 176 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: Derek Carr overthrew the receiver. So you would think in 177 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: your mind, hey, okay, we we had our moment, let's 178 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: go to prevent now. But now we it was another man, 179 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: the man blitz, and and I felt so sorry for 180 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: the players because it's like, hey, why would you put 181 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 1: us in this position? They deserve to win it. And 182 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: I believe if you look at the tape also, he 183 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: had a spy on the quarterback. The quarterback is not 184 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: running in that situation. Yeah, that's one of those situations 185 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: you put everybody back and if a miracle play beat you, 186 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: a miracle play beat you, but you don't put an 187 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: undrafted quarterback on a number one draft choice who runs 188 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: a four to forty for the you know, last play 189 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: of the game is ridiculous. Any why don't you like Um? 190 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: These are stretches and again my articles value plays. I'll 191 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: give you two Danny Amendola of your Detroit Lions. Now, 192 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: this is going on the premise of two things. I'm 193 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: assuming it's gonna be a high scoring game. It's against 194 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: the Packards, and right now I think the over unders 195 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: fifty five. I'm assuming the Packers are gonna be up 196 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: and the Troy is gonna have to play catch up. 197 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: And if Kenny Golladay is out and he hasn't played 198 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: in like six weeks, I could see Um Stafford dumping 199 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: the ball at Danny Amadol a lot trying to play 200 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: catch up. So I like him if you're in a 201 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: PPR league. Also, the Cowboys are very bad against a run, 202 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: but like I said, they're giving up thirty two points 203 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: a game they're playing. The Bengals will really struggle out 204 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. But if you're looking for a possibly value pick, 205 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: maybe Tyler Boyd getting some targets in the slot, possibly 206 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: going for a touch on because the Cowboys defense very 207 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: weak that green Bay Detroit game. Now green Bay is 208 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: up seven and a half, giving up seven and a 209 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: half points. But they're playing in Detroit, thank god, because 210 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: every time we go to Lambeau with a cold wind 211 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: blows and then and it's all over. But they're playing 212 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: in Detroit. Green Bay's nine and three, Detroit is five 213 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: and seven. And this I hate to use that cliche. 214 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: It's a must win for Detroit because if they want 215 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: to have any hopes of getting in the playoffs, they 216 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: have to win this game. That could be another high 217 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: scoring game. Yeah right now. I think it's projected to 218 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: be the highest scoring game according to vegas Um. It's 219 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: also interesting going back to running backs. Miles Gaskin came 220 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: back last week. He looked pretty good. I think it 221 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: like ninety yards rushing. They're playing the Chiefs. You gotta 222 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: keep Pat Mahomes off the field. I actect the Dolphins 223 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: to ground and pounds, so he could be another value 224 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: pick in my opinion. This brings us now to the 225 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 1: survivor pool, and I'm still in Oh my goodness, tell 226 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: everybody how you actually got screwed, even ye, but you 227 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: lost one but I lost, and and I had I 228 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: believe I had Miami, and twenty one other people either 229 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: had Minnesota or they had the Raiders. The Raiders, and 230 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my gosh, they're both losing. This 231 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: is great. Here we go. And as I say that, 232 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: in the corner of my I see the Jets game 233 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: and they hail miryam like You've got to be kidding. 234 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: And then in the other game, Minnesota pulls it off 235 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: in overtime against Jacksonville, and I'm like, that could have 236 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: narrowed the field down to four because now, in a 237 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: lot of leagues like this, you have to pick two teams. 238 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: Now on forward, Well, your strategy was good, and Jacksonville 239 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: had a chance to win the game and they missed 240 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: a field goal. Regulation Also, oh man, so my two teams. 241 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: And I like, now because I have the option and 242 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: I haven't burned him yet. Seattle in Tennessee, Well, Seattle's 243 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: are no brand into me, right, So I would go 244 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: to Seattle in Tennessee. I, well, let's hope that they 245 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: don't have a meltdown. Sometimes you don't know what Tennessee 246 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: team you're gonna get, but they're playing Jacksonville so let's 247 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: see what happens. So now we're a playoff time. Michael, 248 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: what should You've been playing fantasy for a long time, 249 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: what advice do you give the fantasy players out there 250 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: during playoff time? Don't try to outthink it. Don't don't 251 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: trick yourself out of the place. I've seen that happen 252 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: too many times. And somebody tries to get cute. Well 253 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: if I do this and and see that and in 254 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: something else, to pay attention to your lineup, because one 255 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: guy got knocked out of the survivor pool because he 256 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: didn't put in a pick, and I'm like, wow, this 257 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: we'll get down to the money now this is you know, 258 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: that would be the first thing I'm putting in. So 259 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: I'm hoping everything is okay. But don't try to outthink 260 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: it because I've done that too many times and trick 261 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: myself out of the place, and somebody on the bench 262 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 1: which I should have put in is going to be there. 263 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: And now I'm going through that now with cam Akers. 264 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: Do I put in cam Akers playing against Damien or 265 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: do I leave it as what I've got? So what 266 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: do you have Chubb? And who else? Yet? I got 267 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: Chubb and uh, Taylor's my running back so for Indie, 268 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: So I might just leave it at that and let's 269 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: see what happens.
