Peter . Ladies

0:02

and gentlemen , welcome to the Fantasy Football

0:04

Podcast . It's been over a year since we did

0:06

this , almost . I'm here . I'm Chrissy

0:08

Olde and I'm here with my best buddy , scott

0:11

, the functional alcohol

0:13

Scott . How ?

0:13

you doing there , buddy , I'm doing good . You

0:15

stay a little long on that alco-pholic

0:19

.

0:21

Are you gonna let that one ?

0:22

go . That's okay . That's okay , it's how you do . It's how

0:24

you do , it's all right .

0:26

I'm doing great , you do you .

0:29

Okay , that sounds that's a weird start to the cast

0:31

, but that's okay .

0:33

This is what happens when we're out of sync . You know

0:35

we gotta get this thing back . In an organization

0:37

we actually have something important

0:39

to say . Wait , do we have it ?

0:41

People wanna hear what we have to say . I mean , we have a voice , we have

0:43

a voice , we have a voice .

0:46

You know we have a voice . We have a voice

0:48

. Do people wanna hear it ?

0:50

though . Well , maybe if you're in Germany and you're in Japan

0:52

, or D&Chang , maybe , I don't know

0:55

, we'll see .

0:56

You know , some of our most popular people are actually overseas

0:58

that listen to our podcast .

1:01

Yeah , it's just like our podcast

1:03

is like an analogy for NFL football

1:05

. It's like it's growing in

1:08

England and Germany and Mexico , just

1:10

as we are . You know Exactly .

1:13

We actually have people in Switzerland

1:15

, germany , new Zealand , can't

1:17

remember the rest . There's many more , but

1:19

like . I said , it's been a little while since we've done this , so it's

1:22

great to have you back . It's great to do this , you know

1:24

, like it's a good chance for us to catch up , talk about

1:26

one of my favorite subjects , nac football and

1:29

hopefully we can be a little more consistent . It

1:31

has not been your fault . No

1:33

, you haven't done this . No , you have been busy .

1:35

You have been , you are have

1:37

been a dedicated golf coach . You were coached

1:40

the boys team last year for your high

1:42

school . This year you were coaching also the

1:44

girls as well too , so sounds like

1:46

you had a very successful season . I mean , you route

1:48

in the second place . Yeah , and

1:51

I don't know . It's called the conference or division . What's it called ?

1:54

Yeah , that's basically a division Okay

1:56

. So I walked in the second place

1:58

and the first

2:00

place team didn't lose all season and

2:03

as a powerhouse in the whole California

2:05

area for golf they

2:08

live basically most of the kids live on the Silverado golf course

2:10

, so you can imagine that

2:12

most of the kids are pretty good . Yeah

2:14

, it's a private high school , so

2:16

they have money . They have kids that live on

2:18

the golf course . They're good . But I

2:20

will say this and probably really don't need

2:22

to go too much into this we're the only team that

2:25

actually challenged them and actually make their coach sweat

2:27

. I've actually got so pissed . At the end

2:29

of the game he made his girls run five

2:31

miles because we got so close to them feeding

2:33

them Okay .

2:34

Wow , five miles . That's incredible

2:36

. So you took this ragtag

2:39

team , this bad news bears of golf

2:41

in the Napa area , and it

2:43

sounds like you were able to forge into fire

2:46

and get them , rally them to be

2:48

second place . I mean , how did you do that ? What

2:50

are some of your motivational techniques to

2:52

help spur this great performance ?

2:55

You know I laugh at what you're saying

2:58

and I know you're kind of . Yes

3:00

, the reason why I'm laughing at it is only because

3:02

I actually had to speak on this last night , oh

3:04

good , and I had to speak in front of a bunch of people

3:06

, you know , in front of an awards

3:09

assembly , as to how we did so well , and

3:12

the first thing I had to say I had to use a Brock

3:14

party reference . And

3:16

I used the reference and it's actually very

3:18

true and you know I'm a systems guy . Brock

3:21

party might not own that , but I do . And

3:24

like I have an assistant coach who , like I'm

3:26

very lackadaisical , which is good because I get the kids

3:28

out of their heads , which is one of the most important things in golf

3:30

, but it's also like one practice

3:32

. The girls are like , hey , can we just take a day

3:35

off and just sit there and talk ? And I let him do it . But

3:37

I was assistant coach who was like no

3:40

, don't let him do it , don't let him . He's

3:42

the guy that fires them up , you know , and sometimes goes

3:44

over the top , where I calm him down . But

3:46

sometimes I need that and you know where my method isn't working

3:48

. I'm like talking to him down like , hey , don't worry

3:51

, you got this , you got this . Like I need someone to fire

3:53

me up . There's my coach . You know

3:55

, another coach is like very analytical and

3:57

he's like , hey , coach , do you ever think about this or doing

3:59

this and that ? And I'm like , no , I actually didn't think about that . And

4:02

I he's , like you observed , like this player doing this , like

4:04

no , we'll miss that . And he was very good at those details

4:07

where I would see the big picture . He was in the details

4:09

. And then I have a third coach

4:11

who is amazing at golf . I

4:13

mean , the guy knows everything and so , like

4:16

it's gonna sound bad , but as a golf coach , that's my

4:18

weakness I can't break down a swing

4:20

very well . He can do every little bit , tell

4:22

him one little piece and get them going and

4:24

get their scores down . And so I was

4:26

able to bring those guys . You know a great admin

4:28

team that helped me out . And then , of course

4:30

, my players . You know those girls were amazing

4:33

and they gel . You know , within

4:35

any system , coach or player , you

4:37

gotta have people around you . That's what I had .

4:40

So it sounds like you had your Roy Kent and your

4:42

coach beard . You said it's not like you had those guys

4:44

all around you to

4:48

have a great team and bring the girls

4:50

to new heights in

4:53

their golfing endeavors .

4:54

You know , I wish I would use that analogy , but that's exactly right , because

4:57

I always use the analogy for the girls of the goldfish

4:59

. Yeah , they like shank a

5:01

ball and make me a goldfish . Don't worry

5:03

about that shot , because every bad shot you got two good ones

5:05

coming ahead of you . Don't worry about

5:07

it , just imagine what your next shot's gonna be .

5:10

Oh , it was a Ted Lasso reference and

5:13

that was the last reference , and I should have said also

5:15

the I should have thrown Nathan Shelley , that the the

5:17

wonder kid you know the one again

5:20

with Mike Doug .

5:21

You know we had , you know , the other coaches , you

5:23

know to fire him up and we had everything .

5:26

Okay , I'm , I'm

5:29

getting . I'm already getting . I'm already getting fans football questions

5:31

. Roy Dodder , who's in the fancy football league this year ? We're

5:34

going to fast and furious . Of course , I don't have

5:36

enough context , which I should have told her . What's

5:41

the first question ? Should I switch

5:43

out Michael Wilson for my flex player

5:45

, but who's your flex player ?

5:48

Let's go on , and let me start with that . Yes

5:51

, you should start . You should switch them out , because Michael

5:53

Wilson is probably not gonna do well .

5:55

Yeah , he has . It's been a tough season

5:57

in New York and really

5:59

their best offense is their defense , you

6:02

know , to be honest , I mean we all watch the Chargers game

6:04

and it was . It's a hard game to watch

6:06

and clearly their defense was was

6:08

the best part of their offense , just

6:10

like making sacks and getting the ball back

6:12

, and I think there was like 25

6:14

drives in that game of which is , which is

6:16

insane . And yeah

6:19

, I don't , I wouldn't trust Michael Wilson . You know

6:21

what's the name . The quarterback

6:23

Wilson is done , okay , but

6:25

I don't trust anybody on a team , and

6:27

do you ? I mean , would you start anybody on that offense we

6:30

saw ?

6:31

but that's about it .

6:32

Yeah .

6:33

But I mean you look at that team like I

6:36

mean , really they have the pieces

6:38

offensively Everywhere

6:40

across the board except for one , the

6:44

quarterback , yeah . And so

6:46

if a team can like eliminate the

6:48

run because you know the quarterback's not very good , I

6:51

mean there's no more place to go . I mean , sad

6:54

to say , is that Wilson's not gonna cut it , but he's

6:58

not . You know , and I feel for the guy . I

7:00

actually feel like I don't know why

7:02

, but I'm pulling for him to do well right , but

7:07

he's just not and he's not good and you know , I

7:09

wouldn't recommend them . You could see it all over the Chats . Their season is done

7:11

. If he's the quarterback , yeah . We're

7:16

just not gonna scenario which he can pull it together

7:18

to bring that offense good

7:20

enough to be even in the playoffs , which is sad and

7:23

that's kind of the reality of like

7:25

four or five teams In football right

7:27

now , like I'm sorry , you

7:31

know the Giants are screwed , they don't have their quarterback

7:33

.

7:36

You know Atlanta I hate to say it , I don't know if any

7:38

of those guys are gonna make them very good . Heinecke or or

7:42

the other guy was starting before you

7:44

got doves now quarterback for the Vikings

7:46

for the rest of year . You know so a lot of teams are

7:48

facing a lot of challenges and it's just they're still a long

7:51

season to go . But the

7:53

Jets I mean at least they have the

7:55

defense to potentially overcome as we you look great

7:57

. They I know you saw this , dad the Jets

8:00

have beaten . They

8:04

have beat Patrick Mahomes , they beat Josh Allen and they've beaten

8:06

Jaylen Hertz . That's pretty incredible , and they did almost stayed in the

8:08

game long enough to be Justin Herber

8:10

. And it goes back to

8:12

what you were saying . Is that the just defense ?

8:14

is amazing . Yeah , yeah

8:16

, they get a few plays .

8:19

And they just get a few plays , an offer , and

8:23

then they're fine . But yeah

8:25

, it's their third , they're winning ugly , so are they ?

8:28

in a systems quarterback . This is true

8:31

. I

8:34

got another text yeah , subject

8:37

Are you done you good ? Yeah , first

8:40

time texture , a long time listener . My

8:44

question is should I put in back press dot or golf this week as quarterback

8:46

? That's a , I think , a question .

8:48

those guys are pretty evenly even the match

8:50

, just

8:53

going to my players , just because I'm trying

8:55

to refresh myself on who's who's playing who

8:57

An

8:59

important part , but yeah , so I'm gonna set my opinion in there while

9:02

you do that . Good , I really feel like

9:04

Dak Prescott .

9:06

It's kind of falling into his own right now and

9:09

I feel like he's . I think

9:11

he's In a good spot

9:13

. He's doing well . I feel

9:15

like this is a good sign

9:18

that he is actually gonna have a good , at least the next

9:20

few games . I won't go any farther than that , but I will say

9:23

he's gonna have an S few games . So I

9:25

would say that , you

9:27

know , going with Dak Prescott would probably be the best bet , unless they're

9:29

playing some ultimate

9:31

defense , which I don't know . So they are playing

9:33

the New York Giants , who

9:35

obviously have recorded back trouble right now .

9:39

Then the team is having big quarterback trouble . So I , I , they're

9:41

, they're fit . The Giants are actually fit . The grins throw

9:43

the Port of the past . They blitz

9:45

a lot that gets at the quarterback . I

9:48

and you know Mike McCarthy wants to run and he

9:50

hasn't . You know , he's kind of backed off that a

9:53

little bit the last few weeks

9:55

he's actually

9:57

been finally throwing the best player in the team , the CB lamb . But I

9:59

think this week I think they're actually gonna run quite a bit . They're

10:02

gonna be able to run a lot of the game . I

10:04

think they're actually gonna run quite a bit . They're

10:07

gonna be able to run against them and they're gonna go

10:09

against an experienced quarterback . They're probably

10:11

gonna get a lot of turn . It was for I . I

10:14

mean , I think that you're right , everything said was right

10:16

. But I think the opponent I'm a little bit worried

10:18

. Jared got goes against the chargers who were

10:20

29th against the past . I

10:22

Kind of like got there

10:24

. I think he's gonna be just fine , just

10:27

the matchup . I would go got . If you're equal

10:30

playing the same team , I probably go press got . But

10:32

I like got from this game .

10:34

And then I know , just discount that . Here

10:36

is . I guess it's similar . If

10:39

you go , dog , I feel you're going with a high

10:41

. You

10:43

go press going to high ceiling , sure

10:46

? And I feel like you

10:48

know when if you want to win or lose this game you gotta go

10:50

with you , get a roll the dice and press

10:52

, and I go press that . What

10:55

do you think you go back

10:57

to ? Sounds like .

10:58

I don't , I don't think I would do that in this game . I

11:00

think this is , I think this , while

11:02

you're I agree with everything you just said . He's

11:05

a the Dax , a high ceiling , higher

11:07

, higher . You know , I just think this is a game

11:10

that they're gonna be able to run the ball at

11:12

will against the Giants . They're gonna turn the ball over

11:14

the Giants gonna turn the ball over what's the guy's

11:16

, what's the quarterback's name for the Giants ? It's

11:20

a great name .

11:22

With the people in the day huh .

11:24

Yeah , they put it in your quarterback .

11:26

I forgot about that . Yeah , they're putting him on this

11:28

.

11:28

They got Tyra Taylor back , which I don't think they did

11:30

no time . Having thought or thought , it's still out .

11:33

Dr Rickie , I know that .

11:34

Tommy DeVito . Tommy DeVito , I Don't

11:38

know man , not

11:40

to offend any .

11:42

But here's the thing you gotta think about too when

11:44

you have a bad offense and I think it's

11:47

under underestimated in terms of

11:49

, like Tennessee football projections , mm-hmm

11:51

, you have a bad offense , they're not the

11:53

offense . The defense is not gonna be on the field long and

11:58

that means the offense can have many more opportunities

12:00

. And I don't disagree with you like those opportunities

12:02

. But sometimes when you play a weaker division or

12:04

sorry , opponent is gonna be

12:06

running the ball and

12:10

but there's just gonna be so many opportunities

12:12

in there . For and you

12:14

know , again , I don't Disagree

12:17

with it You're saying that got would be a . If

12:19

you want to go conservative , I think golf is a better choice

12:21

. Like you're going to get

12:23

a good score from golf based on

12:25

the opponent , based on all the other stuff . He's

12:27

got so many great weapons to throw it to , but

12:30

I just feel like that press that's hot right now

12:33

.

12:33

I don't think it's a conservative play , though I think .

12:35

I think no , no , we need a good play .

12:37

But there's a real chance that

12:40

, yeah , dallas gets up 27

12:42

or 28 , 20 to nothing and that could be like

12:44

, or even 24 to nothing . That could

12:46

be one or two throws of the air

12:48

and maybe 200 yards of that press cut and they're gonna shut

12:50

him down at some point . Cuz there's me

12:52

running the ball because that's what Mike McCarthy wants

12:54

to do . You know , I think

12:56

, actually I think that's so

12:59

feeling this game is probably two

13:01

touchdowns and 200 yards , easily

13:04

getting 300 yards and in two or

13:06

three scores .

13:08

Yeah , I don't disagree with that if they go up . Big press

13:10

got some of them go down real fast . Yeah

13:12

, um , let's

13:15

, let's do this . Yeah , if golf

13:17

has better numbers fantasy wise Then

13:19

press cut . I will buy you

13:21

the first beer at Almas this Next

13:24

week .

13:25

I'm 100% on board with that

13:27

.

13:27

So that's not does better . Well

13:29

, you're gonna owe me that first beer , which

13:33

we already know .

13:33

You're gonna owe me by the way , first

13:35

game of the season that we know , the

13:37

Dallas Cowboys crushed the New York Giants

13:39

. That press got had six

13:41

point three , two fantasy points .

13:44

That's why I think it's gonna change .

13:46

Okay , okay , somehow

13:49

, somehow , the veto at quarterback is gonna

13:51

rally . Keep them .

13:53

Different to press got wasn't in in sync , he

13:55

wasn't doing well . At that time of the year I

13:57

felt like he finally like bouncy the lamb

13:59

, he's finally realized hey , I need to throw

14:01

to the guy .

14:03

One thing . To do it against the Eagles is another thing to do

14:05

it against the New York Giants . You were just not

14:07

good . What are you saying ?

14:09

right now .

14:11

It's it's one thing to do it against a team that they were .

14:13

I mean it's

14:15

one thing to do against a good team versus and

14:17

get a lot of points versus a bad team . Not get a lot of points .

14:21

The Cowboys were in a close

14:23

, competitive game the last couple weeks , last three weeks In

14:27

fact . You're right , zach Breska has got 26

14:29

points , 36 points , 34 points the last

14:31

three weeks Absolutely fantastic . My point is is

14:33

that I mean they're not gonna need

14:35

them that much of this . They're just not gonna need them to do

14:37

much .

14:39

I don't disagree that I don't disagree that

14:41

at all , and you might be right , you might

14:43

be Giants , but you might owe

14:45

me a beer . Yeah , I feel pretty confident

14:47

actually . I feel really really good .

14:49

In fact , I'll probably double down that I will , if that's

14:52

making two beers . Two beers you're on , I'm

14:55

not to shy away for the big money here .

14:56

You know like obviously two

14:59

beers a little steep for my problem . You know like obviously

15:01

two beers a little steep for my price but

15:03

I will do it .

15:05

Oh yeah , yeah , you will go more than just

15:07

the tip . Good job , All

15:09

right .

15:09

I got another question . Yeah , next should

15:12

I be worried about Doug John Doug

15:14

, doug Douglas right and

15:16

Walker the third ?

15:20

Uh , you should , but

15:22

you should only worry about it . You

15:25

know if they haven't practiced at all on Friday

15:27

and but you should look at

15:29

. You should basically look at what their status is . Okay

15:31

if the guy's got a little list . If he just thought was hold

15:33

out for a practice , that's okay If

15:36

he practiced , like on Tuesday or Wednesday , but they just

15:38

hold him out into precaution . You know

15:40

you need to look at the context and not just

15:42

look at the tag .

15:44

No , somebody's . Uh , you're right and

15:47

I agree with that , like , and if you look at it

15:49

, just injuries , um , but

15:51

Douglas Ziriki , who

15:53

is just starting to come on for new england , I'd

15:55

be very worried about that . Yeah

15:58

, not to say that there's not potential

16:00

there , but there's hasn't been a track record to be

16:02

able to prove that he's going to be able to do it . And

16:05

if you have any questions about that , yeah , I

16:07

would have questions , just even if he's fully healthy . Now

16:11

, if you look , born being out

16:14

, that opens the opportunity

16:16

and Douglas has gotten quite a few

16:18

targets the last couple of weeks

16:20

and so that opens

16:23

up the possibility of that being really good . But

16:25

there's two things that really scare me about Douglas

16:27

One being a rookie . Two

16:30

being a fellow check offense , as

16:32

a receiver tends to be

16:34

like one week one goes hot , one week another

16:36

receiver goes hot . You don't know who that's going

16:38

to be . If

16:41

I want to walk out the third , walk out the third

16:43

. If he's going to play , put him in . And

16:48

Charonne you know there was

16:50

a big , a lot of talk , included by me , that Charonne

16:52

was going to be a big thing in

16:55

the Seattle offense and

16:57

they're probably split carries . You know

16:59

it's going to be this dynamic duo , or whatever you want

17:01

to call it Our Charonne . We need to take over

17:03

. There's a lot of chatter about what

17:05

Charonne and taking over Walker

17:07

the third , but Walker the

17:10

third , throughout this year has been in

17:12

the game . He has been the

17:14

basically a workhorse of

17:16

the Seattle offense . Now you are seeing the CS

17:19

Charonne uptake of the last

17:21

few weeks , weeks more specifically

17:23

. But I

17:26

wouldn't worry about Walker the third unless he's

17:28

out .

17:29

Absolutely , and he's just got chest he's got . He's been

17:32

dealing with the same thing the last week and he's like . So

17:34

the other situation was kind of limited practice

17:36

because he's got a chest injury . You

17:38

know , some of that is like just pain tolerance , you know like especially

17:40

with rib injuries , and so I

17:42

think I think Walker is fine . Yeah

17:44

, charonne really hasn't seized the moment , right , there's

17:47

nothing that . There's nothing . I've seen in the game versus

17:49

oh my God , he's going to take over

17:51

. Versus , like , say , jomar Gibbs for the Lions

17:53

, which I think actually has probably

17:56

surpassed Montgomery , although I think it's going to be more 50

17:58

, 50 now . But Walker

18:00

just runs like he's mad at the ground and that's

18:02

kind of overused phrase now but he just kind of runs

18:05

like he runs hard , kind of like Damian

18:07

Pierce is another guy that does that . They just they just run

18:09

with this energy that a lot of other running backs don't

18:11

do .

18:13

That's true . And then you know like that goes

18:15

under undervalued in many fantasy

18:17

points , because when you run hard , if

18:20

you run a roadblock , you only get like three or four

18:22

point yards per carry . But

18:25

at the same time look at us wear down defenses

18:28

and just takes one

18:30

to spring it . And March on Lynch , it was

18:32

the ultimate example of that . You

18:35

know , maybe didn't have a great first quarter , didn't have a great

18:37

second quarter . All of a sudden , like that guy's got 200

18:39

yards , almost you know , and like

18:41

two touchdowns and so and

18:43

why was that ?

18:44

two bad games in a row , I mean . But it's against

18:46

Cleveland and Baltimore , which probably the two , two

18:48

of the best run defenses than it felt . And

18:51

now he gets to go against Washington . He gets to go to the Rams

18:53

. Nothing scares me there . Even Samson

18:56

is the next opponent who's actually given up the decent amount of

18:58

yarders as well . So I

19:00

think he'll be , I think he'll be fine and

19:02

that does like review . It's a rookie , you never know

19:05

. Bill Belichick , definitely . That's a big

19:07

wild card there . As far as what could

19:09

happen next , I mean , you're only playing

19:11

them if you're kind of somewhat desperate . You

19:13

got guys still on a buy , I think Devonte

19:15

Smith , I think Philly's , I think Philly's on a buy this

19:17

week , if you can remember . So

19:19

yeah , only

19:21

it's a desperation play . I think we were looking at that . I think

19:23

we're looking at Douglas , maybe over Osborn . Osborn's

19:26

got a concussion . Most guys they get

19:28

concussion . They're usually usually

19:31

out the next game in general .

19:32

So and I , I don't

19:34

have to scream . All right

19:36

, I got one last question for you . You feel

19:38

this has been exhausted , or do you got any more else to say

19:40

on it ?

19:41

Nope .

19:42

All good . What do you think of a trade

19:44

for a larvae versus waddle ?

19:48

So would

19:51

you . The question is , would you rather have a larvae

19:53

or waddle ? Basically , I

19:56

would rather have . I'd rather have

19:59

waddle , and I base

20:01

it on the quarterback . I

20:04

trust Tua way more than a truck trust

20:06

Derek Carr . I think both

20:08

have , you

20:10

know , a lot of a challenge for

20:13

grabs , right ? So obviously , tibery

20:15

kill is I mean Tibery kills . There's

20:18

no doubt that he's either

20:20

one a , one B with Justin Jefferson for as the best

20:22

wide receivers of football . So

20:25

waddle's got that to compete with . But there's nothing

20:27

else after that . And you look at New Orleans

20:30

, you got , you know , you got

20:32

Thomas and you got Shakir

20:34

, who looks like a , who looks like a guy , is a potential

20:36

stud , but look who's throwing on the ball

20:39

. So I

20:42

would much rather go with waddle

20:44

or larvae . How ?

20:45

about you . I'm just thinking of the next question . I'm just picking

20:47

up this part , but you

20:50

look at Carr versus Garoppolo Readers

20:55

. Let Carr go to pick up Garoppolo

20:57

. Who would you rather have ?

21:11

I mean the sad thing is it's , it's probably

21:14

car , but

21:16

you don't feel good about either . I

21:18

mean you don't feel good about either because

21:20

always grapple is always just an injury way from whatever

21:23

you know , and grapple

21:25

did relatively okay , but it's a crappy

21:27

line . But it's the same crappy line that the

21:29

car had as well too .

21:32

I would feel a little more comfortable with car than the

21:34

grapple .

21:35

Yeah , not a lot , but yeah not

21:37

a lot .

21:37

Yeah , I agree , but I would feel

21:40

like car has a little more grit

21:42

to him to be able to like . Grapple

21:44

is great . If he has no pressure and

21:47

has people open he's

21:50

probably better . But car can

21:53

make things up a little bit better than grapple . Again

21:55

, I thought that's all I go with , but you

21:57

know the translate , the coaches , though .

21:59

Wouldn't that be great if the so the streamers

22:02

like that . The Patriots might , you

22:04

know , fire a bell check , like before the

22:06

season's over . Yeah , we greatly

22:08

fired him , and he went to the Raiders . The

22:10

Raiders like hey , let's take him . And then all of

22:12

a sudden like , oh , wow , we need a coach .

22:14

Let's , let's get that no-town , yeah

22:16

it's going to

22:18

be the offensive coordinator . Yeah

22:25

that's what it's all about it's so bad .

22:27

I mean just I don't know why . I mean they just

22:29

got allured by it , right , it's just like it's just he's just

22:31

not . He's just not a good overall coach

22:33

, you know , he just hasn't yeah .

22:36

But let's talk about something actually important , which

22:39

is the same slammies Fantasy

22:41

football league . Yeah , now

22:43

, it's not easy to get into this league . I understand

22:46

, like to get in . It's like a

22:48

thousand dollars just to like get

22:50

in .

22:51

Oh yeah , just a sniff , yeah , just to see what's going on .

22:54

Usually there's a deductible at least a few hundred dollars that

22:56

you're like , interested , like if

22:58

you never do it , you get it back and you're off

23:00

the list . But last

23:03

year can you remind me who the winner was ?

23:07

I believe it might have been some fairly

23:10

lucky team called the San Francisco fourth and

23:12

slammers .

23:13

No , I don't think that's correct . The name

23:15

was the San Francisco fourth and Niners , but

23:19

I like what you're going with . I think too many

23:21

whiskeys for you , but that's okay . But

23:25

who's the first place this year ?

23:28

I'm thinking that for prime Nope

23:32

they are in first place of

23:34

their division .

23:36

The .

23:36

San Francisco . Fourth and Niners in the first place of their

23:38

division .

23:40

And so first place would go San

23:42

Francisco .

23:43

Fourth and Niners again right , as

23:46

far as the division , yes , as

23:48

far as the division , okay

23:50

.

23:51

So , having

23:53

said that , yes . Where are you

23:55

going ? Would you not say like the

23:57

dominant team of the last couple of years , almost

23:59

like a dynasty , would be the San

24:01

Francisco fourth and Niners .

24:03

No , no , I would not say that you

24:05

would not say that . There was nothing

24:07

in me that would make that statement

24:09

.

24:10

I might be unbiased . Obviously , an

24:12

unbiased party isn't here . I would say

24:14

that they're almost a dynasty by now .

24:18

How much risky have you been drinking ?

24:20

None , but anyway

24:23

, they are the only one with actually a trophy for

24:26

Lennar Sam .

24:27

Well , yeah , they purchased it . Sorry

24:30

, it

24:32

seems like somebody was extremely motivated .

24:35

Motivated to win . That's what I do . All

24:38

I got to do is win , win , win .

24:41

Okay , okay , okay

24:43

. So I want to go back to your statement about dynasty

24:45

. Okay , so you said

24:47

2022 , you were the winner . Good

24:50

job , great , actually , great job . 2023

24:54

, you're leading right now . The last

24:56

time .

24:56

Wait , wait , wait , wait . Let's stop right now . Last time , you ? No

24:58

? Let's just stop the call Last time you

25:01

came anywhere .

25:02

Oh , you got third place in 2018

25:04

and third place in 2015 .

25:08

Well , let's just stop the call right there . Yeah

25:11

, obviously I got serious around

25:13

last year . Obviously

25:16

Before I didn't care

25:18

.

25:18

Your glory years were 2010 and 2011 , when you

25:20

actually won back to back .

25:22

Yeah , let's go there for Warner . Okay

25:26

, I'm

25:30

a back to back kind of guy , so obviously

25:32

back , way back in the time I had for Warner back

25:34

to back . I felt back to back coming on .

25:39

The Chaitan Brawlers are a bigger dynasty than you . They

25:41

finished second place the last two years .

25:47

Really , are you gonna throw a Chaitan Brawlers

25:49

reference right now ?

25:51

Well , they've actually placed the last two years

25:53

that nobody else has . I

25:55

mean , they're the only one that's done that in the last two years . So

26:00

there's that . Suck on that for a minute .

26:02

I'm gonna suck on it , but it's not that I'm

26:05

gonna suck on this whiskey .

26:07

So yeah . So let's talk about

26:09

, maybe , how you've done that . I mean

26:12

, let's talk about what is your path to success

26:14

. And I look at your team . I mean

26:16

you got a really strong

26:18

quarterback obviously Patrick Mahome is , so

26:20

for two weeks ago that

26:23

didn't go very well , but you've

26:25

done it well . You got good running backs

26:27

. Bijan Javante , you

26:31

got oh

26:34

my God , how have you done this ? You've

26:38

got wait , you had your hot pants

26:41

. You just had a good week two weeks ago . Debo

26:43

, who's okay ? Luganakua

26:47

and Justin

26:49

Jefferson . Obviously we were big guys the first

26:52

three or four weeks . Those guys were dominant

26:55

the first four weeks of the season . I gotta

26:57

imagine that propelled you to a lot of victories

26:59

.

27:04

So who I mean ? Like I don't

27:06

just agree with some of the things you were saying , but Patrick Mahome

27:08

, you feel like he's been the top

27:11

quarterback this year . No

27:13

, he's top three .

27:14

I mean again , it's always to me it's always

27:17

between him and

27:19

Alan and Hertz , and

27:22

really the last four weeks of Burroughs , who's

27:24

been a step Really good

27:27

on fire . Yeah so , but

27:29

like so , just point

27:31

of reference , my 12

27:33

team big money league first

27:36

overall pick , I actually took Mahomes . It's a

27:38

two quarterback , it's two QB , qb and

27:40

flex . So I mean , that's

27:42

how big I was on Mahomes and to me

27:44

he was the safest bet and

27:47

it's kind of paid off so far for the most part

27:49

. But yeah

27:51

, he's great and I mean with him . And

27:55

you know , javante Williams

27:57

kind of quietly has been having a good year of ESH . He also

27:59

got you did really well as

28:01

far as and this is probably a lesson to learn

28:03

for a lot of other people you went heavy

28:05

on your free agent money

28:07

we have $100 every year to spend and

28:10

you went heavy , I believe , on Puka Nakuwa

28:12

and Tyrone Williams and those two bets

28:14

paid off for you , especially in the first

28:16

four weeks .

28:18

Yeah , and you know , honestly , like there is a lot to

28:20

say with that . In some ways I got lucky

28:22

because people didn't leave the

28:24

disclaimer . That happened , that's been here , but

28:27

which was , you know , basically

28:29

the here's how

28:32

I really got lucky . I actually didn't read it myself , but

28:34

I actually put in the

28:37

request for those players , for the people

28:39

that you see , like two days before

28:41

because I knew I was gonna be available

28:43

. But you know the

28:45

day that those were gonna be available the

28:48

night before and

28:50

so I put them in a couple of days available , you know , available

28:52

before and I was able to get

28:54

them because most people didn't see it . I

28:56

only put them in , not because I saw the message

28:58

, so it was gonna be a day early , but

29:01

because I actually had some other things and I

29:04

was lucky to get those guys because other people didn't see that message

29:06

.

29:08

I'm gonna be completely honest . I'm actually stunned

29:10

that you have the best team . When I look at your roster , I'm gonna be stunned

29:13

I hate to say it , but I mean

29:15

I just like , I was like wow , okay

29:17

. I mean like if you look at it right now

29:19

, it's challenged , obviously

29:21

because there's buys and there's other things going on

29:23

and you know the fluctuation of injuries

29:26

and guys stepping up and but

29:28

you know , wait , who are you gonna go

29:30

? Wait , who

29:33

are you gonna go to quarterback this week , chris , you're picking

29:35

up somebody , obviously because you

29:37

only have my homies on your roster .

29:39

Yeah , who am I gonna pick up ?

29:43

That's a great question . Should we look at the waiver bar ?

29:45

I already know who I'm picking up . But like I'm gonna

29:47

try to pick up but I don't know if I'll get

29:49

that person , you know .

29:51

Well , I mean you know , as far as projections

29:53

, I mean it's not like you know you're

29:56

looking at the greatest quarterbacks of all time , right ? So

29:58

we're looking at five projections

30:00

, we're looking at the top five or Baker Mayfield

30:02

, rock Purdy Will Love

30:04

Us , Joshua Dobbs and Tyler Heineke the

30:07

one with the best matchup is

30:09

Will Love Us going

30:11

against the 30th ranked surprisingly 30th

30:13

ranked in Tampa Bay defense . You

30:16

know the homeward pick might suggest that

30:18

you go with Rock Purdy , who's

30:21

going against the 23rd defense against Jacksonville . So

30:23

I'm not gonna ask you who you picked , but

30:25

I mean they're trying to pick , so we don't wanna influence

30:27

anything , but those are your options

30:30

.

30:31

Yeah . So I mean , there's a couple different

30:33

availabilities there , not

30:35

good ones , but like you know , you gotta do like

30:38

. Last week , this is beyond . I

30:41

picked up Napa Prime and I scraped

30:43

them . Yep , and I don't

30:45

say that because like I'm gonna brag about

30:47

it . I only scraped them because , like they

30:49

had multiple players out on buy weeks

30:51

, most notably Christian McCaffrey

30:54

, but then on buy week and Travis

30:57

Kelsey had an off week , which

30:59

isn't gonna happen very often in

31:02

the 18th season , 17th game

31:04

season you can look

31:06

at that once . Once you

31:08

know , and

31:11

maybe twice in that year , he's

31:13

gonna have an off day in the game and

31:15

Christian McCaffrey was on buy week and

31:18

so I was not really lucky at all , which

31:22

I'm gonna love , but

31:24

this week I'm not feeling it .

31:26

So guess who you're playing .

31:29

I'm playing you .

31:30

Yep , yeah , I just noted that . So

31:33

we played week one . You

31:36

beat me by five , just

31:40

about five points one

31:43

, 24 to one 19 . So

31:46

now we have the rematch .

31:48

It was a rematch and you know who

31:50

my crypto is right .

31:52

Is that ?

31:52

it . You know what team I lose to the most

31:54

, who ? Honestly

31:56

, if you broke it down which is good I don't think it can

31:58

do it on ESPN , but for

32:01

Yalu or whatever short you would use , but

32:04

you can't break it down to

32:07

who you win loss or who

32:09

you see in . But

32:12

I promise you , if I was able to do that

32:14

after every season , who I would lose

32:16

the most to , it'd be you .

32:19

Yeah , and that's especially the fact

32:22

. In the other little fancy for

32:24

the LL League , we have our experimental league . I was gonna

32:26

put that up there for a minute because it's a fun little thing

32:28

. So let me ask you

32:30

in our experimental league we thought

32:32

of trying different rules , different ways of doing things

32:34

. I think you had a team name at first

32:37

, but then somewhere around week one or two

32:39

, you decided to change that name to something else . What

32:41

was that name ? One

32:43

for now , the one now ?

32:46

Spanking Scott .

32:47

Oh , okay , okay , so Spanking Scott

32:49

, which implies that you're going to Spanking

32:53

Scott , oh yeah , so we played
