Okay, I was 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.400 telling y'all about this last week. We are now moving 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.840 into a new schedule. A lot of stuff going down 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:19.080 for speeds. Okay, Fantasy Freestyle has a new home, and 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.000 that home is right here right now. We're gonna be 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:26.840 going six to seven pm on Mondays for the foreseeable future. 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.200 That's got a lot of different reasons behind it. One 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.600 is because you know we're winding down the football season. 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.040 We now know who the two teams are that will 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.320 be in the Super Bowl. They are before me right here. 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.000 We got the Rams and the Pats. I got my 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.440 dammit doll in there. Shout out to Jilly Dilley, got 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.480 my damnit dial right there. Because also I was going damnit, damnit, 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.639 damn it a lot of times when the Kansas City 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:53.520 Chiefs could not stop New England in overtime right on 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.720 a third and ten, I was telling people, Yo, this 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:57.680 is gonna be Julian Edelman over the middle. And what 0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.760 do you know, Julian Edelman over the middle. Right, I 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.320 was like, oh, watch Gronk singled up on Eric Barry. 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.640 He's gonna go there on third down. Bang, that's what 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.520 he did, you know. So I was going damn it, dammit, 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.760 damn it all right. But also because as some of 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.120 you may know, if you may hear, if you listen 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.320 to this network all the time here on the award 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.920 winning Fantasy Sports radio network, I am the new co 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.480 host of a brand new morning show. It's called Make 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.919 It Rain with my new guy Joe Aneri over here. 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.160 He's down there in Miami. I'm doing it in New York. 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:25.960 We got the East Side covered, and we got it 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.880 all covered on how to win your leagues and win 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.320 that cash. But the thing is that is now six 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.320 to nine a m. People. All right, so you're gonna 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.040 wake up early with me every week day, So I means, 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:37.480 you know, I gotta dial it back a little bit 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:38.800 on the evenings, all right, So I just want to 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:40.920 let you all know about that. We do, however, have 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:45.960 a lot of stuff to get to since we last spoke. Well, 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.520 clearly the biggest thing here are the a f C 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.720 in the NFC Championship game. I do want to tell 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.760 you though, two pieces of news real quick. Uh, the 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.640 NFL for next season, UM gave out their London games. 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.200 We know he's gonna be in the three London games. 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.160 We know he's gonna be in in Mexico City game. 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.320 It's gonna be the Chiefs and the Chargers. I find 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.040 that one interesting. And also the NFL has declared today 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:10.760 that they're going to investigate if pass interference is going 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:15.360 to be reviewable. Interesting timing, NFL. That brings me to 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.240 my pole question right now, which, by the way, is 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:23.080 which of the Saints exits Over the last two NFL 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.760 playoffs seasons were more excruciating? You know, which is the 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.560 harder one to stomach? Was it this year? What happened yesterday? 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.640 And boy will we get into that the fact there 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.000 was no call on that pass interference call and then 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.120 they ultimately go to overtime and lose. Or was it 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.919 a year ago in this spot when they had the 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:44.280 Stefon Digs crazy catch miracle and score up there in Minnesota? 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.800 Sean Payton and Drew Brees have lost in excruciating ways 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.360 in the playoffs in the last two years. Which one 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.240 was worse for you? Is it recency bias or you know, 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:58.480 was this one truly more painful to watch? We'll get 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.920 into that a little bit later on on as well. 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.920 All right, So here's where we gotta start. Let's start 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.360 with the A f C game, because I know a 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.680 lot of people are really the big headline, uh for 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.760 most people is just officiating that no call in the 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.000 NFC game. We can get to that. For me, it's 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.800 the A f C game, all right. And and for me, 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:19.880 this takeaway is Brady and Belichick do it again. You know, 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.720 I think that is the top line takeaway all season long. 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.039 And I was among you all season long. I was 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:30.239 trying to find ways, find reasons why the Patriots wouldn't 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.200 be where they are right now with their damn helmet 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:34.800 in front of me representing the a f C in 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.600 the Super Bowl. I tried all season long. Gronk is 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.719 the shell of his former self. Brady doesn't look the same. 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:47.080 The weapons just aren't there. Right. Well, thirty other NFL 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:48.880 teams are trying to be where the Patriots are right now, 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.920 you know, and so they just do it again. On 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:56.960 Wikipedia they change the a f C Championship Games definition. Literally, 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.880 I'm not making this up. Someone literally on Wikipedia changed 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:02.680 the definition to be the a f C Championship Game 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.479 is where a team from the a f C gets 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.919 to play the New England Patriots for the right to 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:08.920 win the Super Bowl. There he is. I gotta tip 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.880 my cap, I guess to Tom Brady, Bill Belichick. Brady 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.200 has been a quarterback there for now seventeen years. They 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.640 have been to the Super Bowl nine of those years, 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.719 over fifty of the time. I gotta tell you something. 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.160 Julian Edelman at the center of this game, right he 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.880 puts up, in my opinion, a very important game, all right. 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.960 He puts up a nice little stat line. Seven catches, nineties, 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.400 six yards. Okay, he was at the center of it all. 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.160 That muff punt, whether it hit him or not, I'm 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:43.120 gonna tell you right now, I personally think it may 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.080 have graced his left thumb. Other people I'm watching with 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.120 was like, nah, I didn't touch him. Here's the thing, though, 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.080 if there is not conclusive evidence, you're supposed to stick 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.040 with the call on the field right wherever you're watching, 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.560 at the bar, at your friend's house. What by yourself? 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:04.360 I don't care. Were there people reasonable people there who 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.320 saw it differently, who disagreed, who couldn't tell you for 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.680 sure if that is true, whether you agreed with them 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.000 or not, you have to stick with the call on 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.200 the field. So I find that interesting. Edelman, though, in 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.600 a true ball don't lie rathshid Wallace kind of moment, 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.240 then his next opportunity ball goes through his hands, gets 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.480 picked right, so he's in the middle of it all, 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.640 and then he is all over over time with like 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.240 two or three third down conversions. And that's what I think. 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.720 That's where I want to go with this, Okay, because honestly, 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.840 and I hear so many people today talking about have 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.800 you got to change the overtime rules? How Patty Mahomes 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.360 was left on the sidelines the Great m v P. 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.240 Patty Mahomes was left on the sidelines. No, that's not 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.480 what happened people, all right. In the NFC game, the 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:52.440 Saints won the toss, they win the game, right, So 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.520 it's not just like, oh, they won the coin to us, 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.400 they won the game. BS, play defense, That's what I'm saying. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.200 You had multiple opportuny unities on third down to get 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.560 off the field. But then again, there were also multiple 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.520 times when the NFL was like, let's give it to 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.720 Tom Brady that roughing the passer. I don't care. If 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.720 you are the biggest Patriots fan out there, you could 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.600 be uh, you know, you could be my man Jim 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.160 Ross right now, Okay, there's no way that's passing inferre 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.640 and he barely gah not passing here and roughing the 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.400 pastor he barely grazed them. That offsides call on d 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.480 Ford were you were lucky because Tom Brady threw another 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:32.640 interception right there that ended the game. All right. By 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.160 the way that Hogan played down the left sideline, I 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.760 kind of think that ball moved too, all right, So 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.360 don't tell me, are you when the coin flip you 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.960 in the game. B S play some defense, all right, 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.640 because in the other game. As you see, some defense 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.440 was played and we had a different outcome. So to me, 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:51.720 those are some very important things that went down in 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.560 the a f C Championship game. Here's what I'll say. 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.719 That's got a lot of luck whether it's Edelman or Brady, right, 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:01.080 But on the other side of things, you know, Patty 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.080 Mahomes was awesome. I think he outplayed Tom Brady if 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:05.800 you want to know the truth, and the stats would 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.800 actually say the same thing technically, you know what I 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.400 mean in terms of uh oh, I don't know, like 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.840 say q B R and stuff, you know, or PF 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.719 grades all right, but I think it comes down to 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.080 Andy Reid. I think Andy Reid, you know, failed to adjust. 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:24.000 It was clear and we talked about it all the 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.560 time that uh Belichick, what he likes to do is 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.520 make you play left handed right. It makes you take 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.600 away what you do best. And we had arguments, not arguments, 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.040 We had discussions here at this table yesterday on lineup 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:38.640 Block Live when I was here with my man Mike 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:41.719 blew It with Keith Zeri who's joining this network, my 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.520 man Joe Vernieri for Make It Rain right, and we 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.520 were saying, what do you think Patriots do do they 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.600 try to take away Travis Kelsey? Do they try to 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:52.880 take away Tyreek Hill? Guess what they did? Both? They 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:57.160 did both. Travis Kelsey three catches for twenty three yards 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:02.760 and a touchdown, Tyreek Hill one catch for forty two yards. 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.040 If I told you that Travis Kelsey and Tyree Hill 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.959 would touch the ball four times in a game that 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.199 went to overtime that the Chief scored thirty one point in, 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.480 you would say, oh, they were keying in on that. 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.640 Clearly that was part of the game plan. Where was 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.000 Andy Reid to adjust? Where's the end around to Tyreek Hill? 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.920 Where's the quick screen to Tyree Hill? I've seen them? 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.760 Do you know, um shovel passes to Travis Kelsey for 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:29.840 damn sake, for god damn six, Where was any of that? Okay? 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.280 So for me, this is like, now, Andy read something 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.280 like two and seven in this round of the playoffs. 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.920 Beyond that sort of thing against the Belichick or are 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.680 the elite coaches. That's part of it. Okay, that's part 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.000 of this narrative and it needs to be. Okay, Patty 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.280 Mahomes is gonna win the m v P in my opinion. Uh, 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.079 the Chiefs will be around for a while in my opinion, 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.960 but that has to be part of this narrative. Romo, who, 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:56.320 by the way, Tony Romo delivered a phenomenal performance in 0:10:56.320 --> 0:11:00.440 my opinion, predicting what would happen, taking you into the 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.040 inside of the quarterback. And one of the things he 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.280 said of why Brady is so good is because he 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.920 was an offensive coordinator on the field. He knows how 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:08.880 to check in, check out of place, was always getting 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.480 into the right play. The defense was not adjusting back 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.439 to that. In time, Patty Mahomes, we'll be able to 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.680 do it. In time, Deshaun Watson, some of these other 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.040 young quarterbacks will be able to do it. Andrew Luck 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.200 already is in the a f C. And in time, 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.760 the New England Patriots will in fact meet the end 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:32.360 of their run. But no, no, do not need changes 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.760 to overtime. We need a team to step up and 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.680 play defense. That's what we actually need, all right. The 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:42.200 Kansas City Chiefs had multiple opportunities they did not get 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:46.080 it done. So for the ninth time in Tom Brady's career. 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.800 While as a Jets fan, I have to go, damnit, 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.840 damn it, damn it. I also have to tip my 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:58.960 cap and congratulate New England Patriots for making it Super 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.680 Bowl fifty three. All right, now I'm done with that, right, 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:04.920 We're done with that. Okay, Hey, big shout out thanks 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:10.000 to uh, thanks to Jerrt right there in the chat room. Okay, Um, 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.480 that's what's up. That's what's up. Dilly dilly out there 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.600 to everybody. Whatever making you happy? What up? What up 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.600 to you as well? All right? So um, big shout 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.600 out to everybody that's sticking with me right here after 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.959 as we as we go along in the football season 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.360 when it comes to the NFC game. Now, listen, everybody 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.000 knows what we're gonna talk about. Yes, that was an 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:32.720 absolutely ridiculous call. That was past interference. If you don't 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.000 want to call past interference, fine, that was hell and 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.280 to healment contact that was unnecessary roughness fifteen yards there too. 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.040 But here's the most important part. And by now we've 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.520 talked this, I'm sure at nauseam wherever you get your 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.080 sports from you know this. But if you're getting it 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.400 live here on YouTube, if you're getting it as a 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.320 podcast right now, if you get it on the Fantasy 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.840 Sports Radio Network, I'm here to tell you that played 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.000 completely changed the outcome. You know, some penalties they're like, 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.760 it doesn't matter. That play changed the outcome of the game. 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.079 That gives the Saints first than tend from like the 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.720 four or the three yard line. But more importantly, the 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:08.800 Rams only had one time out, so right there, and 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:10.920 many of you guys know this, The key is not 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:15.960 necessarily to score or score seven. The key is to 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.920 not leave the other team with any time left on 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:22.160 the clock. And so what the Rams would be excuse me, 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:23.640 what the Saints would have been able to do with 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.760 that penalty giving them a first end goal when the 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.200 Rams only had one time out left. They would have 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:34.360 been able to literally kneel the ball down on whatever 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:38.200 hash mark you know, LUTs wanted it to be on. Okay, 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.199 and bleed out the clock. Rams could have taken one 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.400 time out, you would have had a chip shot extra 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:47.600 point field goal attempt to win the NFC Championship. All right, 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.480 So obviously that call is real. And while I say 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.160 we maybe don't necessarily need changes over time, I do 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.280 think we need changes here. I've been talking about this. 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.800 If you're real deal fantasy freestyle stats overbeat cipher ever 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:00.600 since you know, I don't know, back in two thousand, 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.720 fifteen or sixteen, since we've been doing this. Oh and 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:07.400 by the way, uh two times two times fs w 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:09.920 F S T a host of you know, most of 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.160 the best radio show finalists. All right, So if y'll 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:16.360 been with me for years, I appreciate that. All right, Um, 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.040 But if y'all know, I've been talking about this as 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.080 a platform for a while, things like they need to 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.880 replace the idea of the refs and these under out 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.720 of shape men running down the field trying to keep 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.400 up with elad athletes running out of chain link fence 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.680 and stuff like that, making judgment calls when it's twenty 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.440 yards away because they can't keep up, right, what I 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.320 do think they need to do, and this reinforces it 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.200 for me. No, I don't want a guy centrally in 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.880 New York calling down like trying to get people out 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.680 of the game for concussions or college ins didn't replay 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:43.600 or anything like that. No. I just think there needs 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:47.560 to be more officials on the field. Okay, right now, 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.440 I think there's like a six man crew. Give me 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.760 another two or four people on the crew. And also, 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:54.680 we talked about this towards the beginning of the season. 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:58.760 You can make these refs full time employees. These guys 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.760 are not full time employees. Many of them are accountants 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:05.960 on the side. This is seasonal employment. Make them full time, 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.080 make them train more, make them work with the teams 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.800 at symposiums and more. Make them dive into the rule 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.120 books more. Something like that. Give them more refs and 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:20.680 give them, you know, more professionalism. To be quite honest, 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.200 that's what I think needs to happen here. But besides 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.640 that call, here's what's the biggest thing. And these Rams 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.080 now are moving on, we need to talk about this. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.920 What's up with Todd Gurley and will it be any 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.880 different two weeks from now? That is the biggest storyline 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.600 going into Super Bowl fifty three, if not for like, 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.040 oh my god, Brady and Belichick are here again, it's 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.880 the health and the status of Todd Gurley as the 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:46.360 main running back for the Los Angeles Rams. Todd Gurley 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.400 was like a number one overall fantasy pick. Todd Gurley 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.120 was a stud running back. Todd Gurley is one of 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:56.440 these running backs who is a workhorse, and now all 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.880 of a sudden, in the last month or so, it 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.160 seems like he is, you know, the pass catching back 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.640 or the bad side, the B side of a time 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:08.040 share to to see J Anderson of all people who 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.600 look at like Mike Tolbert looking like he's got a 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:15.800 dad bod okay. C J. Anderson sixteen carries Todd Gurley four. 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.480 This is Todd Gurley who people though as an m 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.280 VP candidate. Some people are gonna say, oh yes, c J. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.200 Anderson plays a different role. He's in North South Runna Bull. 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:31.080 Todd Gurley is the MF man. Todd Gurley must be hurt. 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.840 Todd Gurley must be severely compromised. He must be like 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.640 se okay, And don't get me wrong, everybody at this 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.480 part of the season is banged up a little bit. 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.360 But he has to be out there primarily as a decoy. 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.960 He ain't right, because if he was, he would be 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.120 out there more. I am not buying this c J. 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:54.920 Anderson narrative. So when we now have two weeks to discuss, 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.680 the number one thing we are going to be talking 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:02.000 about is Todd Gurley. I think he's hurt. I don't 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.119 think this is the emergence of c J. Anderson. I 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.239 think he's hurt. I think two weeks is gonna make 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.320 a big difference and that should impact people and things 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.359 like DFS line of predictions for the game and such. 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:15.679 But we'll talk about that a little bit more. We 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:17.800 are often running on the new date and time for 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.920 the fantasy freestyle with the spitt and statistician, stable genius 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.160 and vocal minority. Come on back on the other side 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:24.480 of the break, I'll tell you some things to look 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:30.479 for this week when there's no football from the NFL 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.760 to the NBA.

I want to give a big shout 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.080 out to you for sticking in there in the chat room. 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:40.719 The nets do be balling right now. You're absolutely right. 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:42.920 I also want to say, though, Jerrt, no, I don't 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.000 think this girly thing we were talking about. I don't 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.199 think discipline has anything to do with it. You're right, 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.280 McVeigh maybe want to be keep a tight ship, but 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.000 it has nothing to do with that. In my opinion, 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.959 I think he's just straight up banged up until they 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:55.919 got a rational amount, and they now also know that 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:58.280 he has two more weeks to get healthy for the 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.679 big game up there in at Landa. But thanks for 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.439 sticking with me, Jerrt, and everybody out there on the 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.600 Fantasy Sports Radio network here on a Martin Luther King 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.359 Day holiday. As I said, don't just treat it as 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.000 a day off to go run some random errands, take 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.360 some time to think and reflect about what this day 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.680 is about, what that man was about, and what that 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:22.280 means now in our day and time. But I'll I'll 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:26.040 keep my vocal minority to that now, um as we 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.480 keep it moving. Their NFC Championship game. I told you 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.080 about this. C J. Anderson Todd Gurley is gonna be 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.320 a storyline we need to follow and talk about. Okay, 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:36.800 look at this, I told you c J. Anderson with 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:40.920 sixteen carries, Todd Gurley with four. Yes, Girley got the touchdown, 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.679 saving maybe people's fantasy day if you HadAM um and 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:47.159 different you know looks or tournaments or pools that you 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.359 may or may not be in. But then also C J. 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:53.760 Anderson one catch, right, Todd Gurley one catch? So seventeen 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:57.280 to five is the touches. That's crazy, And I don't 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.000 I think this is mostly because of injury, not because 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:02.640 of discipline or anything like that. He's just banged up. 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.320 And then they think he's only got so many bullets 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:07.640 left in the chamber and they're gonna fire as many 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:11.240 as they can without losing him. But now there's nothing 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.800 to save him for for super Bowl fifty three, so 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.560 I think he's gonna get a lot more burn uh 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.119 come to Super Bowl. So something to keep an eye on. 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.520 The Other thing for me in this game is, listen, 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:24.720 there was a big time difference because of one man 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:27.600 that was there that was not there when this team played. 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:29.600 These teams played the first time, and that is uh 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.919 Rams cornerback. A key to leap, Alright, I keep to 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.879 leap was incredible in my opinion. And also all you 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.480 have to do is look at Michael Thomas. Michael Thomas. 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:44.959
