1:00
and we'll take you through until the top
1:03
of the hour with the weekend Wages with Camp
1:05
Stewart and myself discussing the baseball
1:07
slate, you know, the sport that Jim Dave forgets exists
1:10
during the summer. Uh what was
1:12
discussing a pretty much all your game, all the news and
1:14
notes day, all the gambling. Josie Ramiers
1:16
fractured hand that's bad, Jim. Bad.
1:19
Have a fractured hand, bad for any hand injury for a
1:21
baseball player, you know, hard to grab that bat.
1:23
But that's okay. I know you don't care. Next time
1:25
you're on the talk hockey for three hours, that's
1:28
all we're gonna do is talk hockey. Then I'm gonna put
1:30
my wife on. She got
1:33
hockey draft starting a couple of weeks. I did a mock during
1:35
the weekend for hockey. Uh. You
1:37
know, everybody talks about the NFL being a
1:40
year long thing. Hockey is really trying
1:42
to stand this to do the same thing. Didn't
1:45
they just finished playing Like I'm like,
1:47
three weeks ago. The
1:49
season just last too long. I'm
1:51
not going to deny that, Jim. I mean they start
1:54
in October. They by the time the Cup is over, it's
1:56
late June or middle of June. I
1:58
mean, see, it's just two months. See just then two
2:00
months ago and literally training camp starts in about
2:03
two and a half weeks. All right, So
2:05
I agree with you there there. It really is no downtime.
2:08
Uh, that is the forever season. It
2:10
just goes on and on and on and on. But
2:14
we'll talk about that another time. I know, you really
2:16
want to anti hockey in hockey. I know,
2:18
but I'm gonna have to insist we keep talking football
2:21
if we're gonna talk hockey, and I gotta talk
2:23
you know, I gotta talk about the best goaltender
2:25
in the league. Man, guy who just keeps
2:27
getting it done year in year out and had
2:30
an exceptional eighteen season.
2:32
And you know Martin bro Door has to be in your
2:34
starting lineup, mat
2:38
Door. Uh yeah, yeah. But when
2:40
you start about absolutely, especially
2:42
if I'm in the league. Uh yeah, it's funny. You should
2:44
mention that. By the way, people actually asked last night during the
2:46
draft if they could draft Gronkowski. I
2:49
mean, it's a it's an eight man bench. They
2:51
could draft to Gronk.
2:55
Oh Gronkowski. Oh there you go. Hey,
2:57
I took him in a couple of best ball leagues
2:59
and four round what
3:02
the heck? Yeah? Uh, this league.
3:05
It's funny as CBS Sports. By the way, you know, you get those
3:07
stickers that he's he has a sticker. He
3:09
does have a sticker. So yeah,
3:12
but no one pulled the trigger. I was a little surprised once
3:14
again at the end of the guy you want to it's it's
3:16
an eight man bench. You want to put him much eight man, fine,
3:19
you know I'll be the first guy you get rid of. Anyway, one
3:21
of the go to get rid of. I didn't have an issue with it,
3:23
but no one, no one pulled that trigger to
3:25
take round. He was my favorite player, Jim. He
3:28
was my favorite playing football. I just like the way
3:30
he enjoyed life, enjoyed the playing I've
3:34
been on since forever. Actually, he
3:37
was a big reason I had the best season I've
3:39
ever had back in him and Ari
3:41
and Foster carried all my teams two wins. I
3:45
rarely had him because I I'm not a big
3:47
belief I
3:49
had. I didn't never have. I did
3:51
have a few times, didn't never. That doesn't sound like
3:53
good English, but I
3:56
don't. I'm not generally a big believer. It's spending on
3:58
an early pick on the tight end. I generally to wait. So
4:01
I rarely had him, but had
4:03
him last year the league that didn't work out well. Ron.
4:08
They were speed to Cron. One of them,
4:11
the New England reporters for ESPN. I do
4:13
not remember which one. I don't. It
4:15
might have an Mike Reefe, but I'm not I'm not sure.
4:18
But this is about two months ago, they stated
4:20
this that if gron did come back, it's
4:22
likely wouldn't be for the Patriots, that he's
4:24
had enough of the elicheck. Uh.
4:28
And if it's not for the Patriots, yeah,
4:30
okay, so I'm not crazy. Who who
4:32
would he come back with? Oh?
4:34
Anybody who wouldn't want Cronc?
4:37
Heck could any team in the league could
4:39
use Ronc. Maybe not Philadelphia
4:41
because they're pretty sold on it. They're too goods
4:45
Uh, you know, Heck, Houston could use him. It
4:48
all goes back and you're talking about you're talking
4:50
about a great blocking tight end too, and
4:53
we know what he can do catching the ball when he's fully
4:56
healthy. So why couldn't Houston has been
4:58
dying to find a good tight and that they
5:00
can count on, and so far I've
5:02
had no real no luck. I mean, you're looking
5:04
at Ryan Griffin this year. You know, maybe
5:07
Warren is the rookie, but you know,
5:09
he's been injured, hasn't really been in camp very
5:11
much, so I don't see him getting off to a
5:13
good start. So they could easily use a tight
5:16
end too. So right now Houston should be out
5:18
there shopping all in every aisle
5:20
or there's the supermarket right now Houston
5:24
needs they need a running back and go for the
5:26
high end shopping of Melvin Gord. They could trade Davian
5:29
Clowney and now they need Gronic. We'll talk about
5:31
coming out of retirement. Uh, he's gonna be
5:33
a lot of fun this year. First, that's a good team
5:35
too. Uh. They could be
5:37
a great team. But this hurts, you
5:40
know, and I'm I mean you
5:43
can do in the NFL journally, some team goes from worst
5:45
to first. I looked at all
5:47
these last place teams from last year, you
5:49
know, I mean, jackson has a shot. They're the only team I can
5:51
see doing it, can you? I mean it's something
5:53
now that Indianapolis, I don't think they win the division.
5:56
Now Tennessee, I'm something not sold on Mariota
5:58
into a Tannehill as the quarterback
6:00
there. Uh, Houston abously, they
6:02
have their issues. Now Jacksonville,
6:05
they would you put them as the favorite
6:08
to win that division now? Uh,
6:10
They're definitely move up into that conversation.
6:12
There's no doubt. I'm not sure I put him as a favorite
6:14
for anything, but they definitely move
6:17
into that competent, you know, conversation.
6:19
Look, they got still have a great defense. Didn't
6:21
play up to what people expected
6:24
of them and in fantasy last year, but they were still
6:26
a good defense. Um. I expect him to
6:28
be really good again this year. Uh
6:30
if for next stage sixty games, we know
6:33
that he gets it done based
6:35
on sheer volume alone, because his
6:37
individual numbers suck. Um.
6:40
If you look at it across the board, his numbers are
6:42
terrible. UM. But you
6:45
know he does it just because he gets
6:48
so many opportunities in here. Just to
6:50
give you a statuate, I love about him,
6:53
and and this comes from pro football focus,
6:55
not for me, folks, I'm not this intelligent. Um.
6:59
But among their
7:01
sixty three running backs with at least a hundred
7:03
fifty carries over the last two years, out
7:07
of sixty three, from has ranked in
7:10
run grade forty nine in yards
7:12
per carry and fifty in yards
7:14
after contact per attempt. UM.
7:17
So he's not a great running back. He just
7:19
does it on sheer volume. And if
7:21
he stays healthy enough that sheer volume
7:24
would be good enough to give them a really
7:26
good running game. UM. So
7:28
that that is you know what they need at that
7:31
point. Folds. He's definitely an upgrade
7:33
over Bordles. He's a guy that
7:35
plays better in games than he does in
7:37
practice field. It seems like because he doesn't
7:40
show up well in preseason a lot, he doesn't
7:42
show up well in practice, gets on the field
7:44
and he plays well, so they
7:46
have the basis to make that move. I'm
7:48
just not sure I'm fully buying in you. I
7:53
just think out of all the teams that could possibly
7:55
do, I think that Jack was really the only one. I mean,
7:57
I don't see what Giants doing it. I don't
7:59
see Detroit doing it. Uh.
8:02
I always looking to Tampa Bay, no, Arizona,
8:05
no, uh Jets
8:07
or who if it's the Jets of Buffalo? What that we need to give his
8:09
last No? No, Uh, I'm
8:13
gonna give you one. I'm gonna give you one right now
8:15
that I think it has a chance and we'll surprise
8:17
everybody. And
8:19
I hate to say it because I'm a fan, but it's the
8:22
Giants, look, I know, and
8:24
I'm not normally that this guy. Don't normally
8:26
say that, but they could surprise. Look,
8:29
if Dallas doesn't get Zeke in, let's
8:31
say what if? I'm
8:33
sorry totally Apollo. His look good, you
8:35
know in so far in preseason,
8:38
I'm not sure if that's gonna fully play out in the
8:40
season, but we'll see. But it
8:43
definitely takes a big chunk out of
8:45
their office. It does. No matter how
8:47
good he's looked in preseason, He's not Zeke. He's
8:49
not even close. So that definitely hurts him.
8:52
Washington and finished above. The Giants has all
8:55
kinds of problems already. If they lose Trent Williams,
8:57
which it looks like they will, it's
8:59
apps You're not gonna help Eric Flowers
9:02
on that tackle spot. I mean, I still
9:04
can't stop laughing. And the fact that he's
9:06
still a starting tackle in the NFL is
9:08
beyond me. Um. If I
9:11
were them, I'd I'd bring me back from retirement
9:14
over him because he just he's a swinging
9:16
gate That just is terrible. Uh
9:18
So there, there's there's a lot
9:21
of things going on in Philadelphia. Okay, they
9:23
have a lot of good pieces in place. The defense
9:25
should be better, offensive line
9:27
is getting older, so but it
9:29
still should be among the best. They've
9:32
got a lot of talented weapons. But
9:34
if Carson Wentz goes down, now, what are you looking
9:36
at? You know, Josh McCown, Nate
9:39
Sudfeld, one of these guys
9:41
as all of a sudden taking them to the Proms
9:43
with Land. I can't see it. The Giants
9:46
have improved their offensive line, oh
9:49
excuse me. Uh, the wide
9:51
receivers have taken taken a hit, but Sterling
9:53
Shepherd is solid. They get golden tape
9:55
back after week four and
9:58
you know Ingram gives them that would right
10:00
and of course Barkley. Uh, their defense
10:02
should be a little better this year. That's always been
10:05
the suspect. But we've seen them
10:07
before out play what they look like
10:09
on paper. And this is a team
10:11
that I think has enough pieces they could
10:14
surprise. I'm not saying it's gonna happen.
10:16
I'm just saying they could surprise.
10:20
Yeah, it's not happening. There's so many
10:22
what ifs there. Man. If I know the whats for that, man,
10:24
i'd be rich. Uh Oh,
10:27
there's like there's no if for your team. No,
10:31
No, I don't need that. I don't need to rely on
10:34
all Wentz being out. Dallas could be Philadelphia
10:36
with it without wins. I don't need to worry
10:38
without seeing I'm not so sure
10:42
Zeke signs he may miss a games. That wouldn't
10:44
sin You know again, I agree
10:46
with you, But what
10:48
if we're playing the what if game? Who can bounce
10:51
back what they need to
10:53
bounce play. I do not play the what if game?
10:55
All right, Dallas. Is that the top five defense,
10:58
top tenant worse in the in the league, right
11:00
that their sound all around. So
11:02
one or two, one or two injuries can't
11:04
change that in a hurry everything
11:06
you can pay one or two injuries exactly. That's
11:08
all I'm saying. The one thing I've learned
11:11
about playing fantasy all
11:14
all I could say. The one thing I've learned about playing
11:16
fantasy football all these years is
11:18
that you can never say never. If
11:21
somebody would have come up to you. If somebody
11:23
would have come up to you in Week nine last
11:25
year and you had Girly,
11:28
now you you had Damian Williams,
11:30
and they had Todd Gurley and they offered
11:32
you Girley for Williams, you would
11:34
jump all over that in the heartbeat laugh. You're asked
11:36
to the bank all the way, and you would
11:38
have been wrong. You know what they
11:40
call this, Jim, They call us cherry picking. But
11:44
I'm saying it happens all the time. We could
11:46
never say never in the NFL.
11:48
You just can't. I didn't say never I'm a betting
11:50
guy. I am not bidding the Giants. I'm
11:54
not either. You asked
11:56
somebody that could surprise for worst to first,
11:58
it could be the Giants, That's all I'm saying. No, I didn't.
12:01
I didn't. I didn't say surprised a team that could go from
12:03
works the first, not a surprise team. Well, they still
12:05
could go from work to worst the first. They're
12:07
not. It's not happening. Sorry, not
12:10
having Giant fans. You're just not that good. Your
12:12
defense is bad, all right? I agree there in
12:14
the you said, And losing golden tape
12:16
for four games too is just a crusher because
12:19
now I don't know what he'll be there. Giants
12:22
hater, you, I'm not
12:24
a Giant, stay right, Yes you are sound
12:27
like a Giant. You should move to Dallas school.
12:29
No, I'm not. I'm not the same fan I used to be.
12:32
There is any team, but I think it's the job we do. I'm
12:34
not the same Cowboy fan. I'm not the same Yankee fan, not the same
12:36
Island fan. I'm just not. I
12:39
think it's I think it's the job we do. I think it's getting older
12:41
as well, when you realize the players
12:44
don't care as much the fans do. Not
12:46
every player. Some players do, but a lot
12:48
of players. It literally is just a job. Wanna lose,
12:51
Okay, I got paid, you
12:53
know, and that that takes him of the enjoyment out of it. Being a
12:55
fantasy got a betting guy. I
12:58
bet against the Yankees a million times. I
13:00
mean, if that's where I think the money is going, I'm that's I'm gonna
13:02
get paid. I'll bet against the Yankees. I don't care. I
13:04
want to get paid. You know, I want my fans.
13:06
I want my fantasy teams to win a hell of a lot more than I want the Cowboys
13:09
to win. Jerry Jones is not sending me a check. I
13:11
said, you know, lest I checked my mail. Nothing, Erry
13:13
Jones. I want to get paid. If that means rude,
13:15
A guess he got ways to lose, I'll win a thousand dollars. God
13:18
wasn't good loose. Sorry, this is
13:20
the way I know it. That sounds terrible as a fan, but I
13:24
like a fan. To me, your
13:27
fan card money comes
13:30
first, man, I said, they're not paying my bills.
13:33
Oh that's true. You got that baby boy
13:35
on the way. You gotta take care of him. Yeah,
13:38
I do not have a baby boy on the way, by the way, anybody
13:41
on it's not as far as I know, honey,
13:43
honey. Uh So I'm
13:45
not gonna have that football conversation with him, Jimmy,
13:48
So hell be god if I
13:50
find out later. Hey,
13:53
look, I've got it this way. Back to that conversation
13:55
real quick. I was thinking about it. You know, if
13:57
I go back and thinking my day's playing, I
14:00
can't tell you how many times I must
14:02
have had a concussion and continued
14:04
to play and all of that. And I'm still
14:06
surprised to this day. I'm half
14:09
as loose as as I am, um
14:11
for because of that. You know, now they're
14:13
talking about how, you know, three four concussions and you
14:16
know a guy could be done. Hecky, I know I
14:18
had that before high school. I had
14:20
that. So who knows? What
14:24
do we call? Day, jim What are we called when
14:26
you got hit in the head? Your bell
14:28
rung? Yeah? You
14:31
guys bell wrong? He's all right, you know, you guys
14:33
bell. He used to me. Stop, we'll have the phase. You know, if
14:35
you give him a minute, it'll be fine.
14:37
Get back on the field, right, give a minute, he'll be fine.
14:39
Get get back in there, let's go. I mean, it's
14:42
it's amazing, how thin, how things have changed.
14:44
Right, you were sort of a wind if you didn't
14:46
come back in Yeah, exactly right, and
14:49
coaches you that absolutely
14:53
come on, he got got on the field, he's got a broken
14:55
leg, he's playing. How come you can't get out there with a
14:57
headache? Come on, get out there. Right, it's
15:00
amazing, amazing how
15:02
that's all changed now. But you're you're at your hundreds. That correctly,
15:05
correct on How that's how that's worked. I
15:08
mean, it's like smelling salts, guys, I mean
15:10
it's it's wow, really smelling.
15:12
Oh man, yeah right, oh man. I hadn't
15:14
thought about that in a long time. Holy crap. Yeah,
15:18
but anybody who hasn't had smelling salts, they
15:20
do wake you up. I'll tell you that those things
15:22
are, man, that those are your whole body. I
15:26
did not like those things at all. Not. By
15:29
the way, if they gave you smelling salts and you didn't jerk, uh,
15:32
you're you were dead. Yeah, the
15:37
cord is the next phone call. Just
15:39
just think of it this way, folks. If
15:41
you've ever used a vixen hailer in your
15:44
life, you know, use that like by
15:46
a hundred thousand times. And
15:49
that was smelling salt. Smelling
15:51
salting. Oh, I didn't that. That brings back
15:53
some bad memories. Smellings
15:56
faults. I did not like those at all. But
15:58
that that's the that's literally dead games ago. I
16:00
haven't seen that, seen those in a long time. They still
16:02
don't use them all, at least nothing out
16:04
in the public open now. On the football sides,
16:06
I'm as a cowboy fan. Remember Roger Star back then
16:08
giving him to him yetter he got dgged a thousand times
16:11
and uh, you know, and I remember one
16:13
time he didn't jerk. I was like, oh, that's
16:16
not good. That's not good at
16:18
all. And Roger stopping ends up retiring early
16:20
because of the other head hits, you know. Epan retired
16:22
early because of the head of Steve Young retired
16:25
early because of the head hits, you know,
16:27
and uh, you know, you made
16:29
me back there. Andrew Luck is really not the head hits. It seems
16:31
to be more an overall body lie, an injury
16:34
thing where he just didn't want to take it anymore.
16:37
Still a shame, but he didn't want to take it anymore. So anyway,
16:39
let's go through to Ezekiel Elliott. I know and standing we're coming
16:41
up against the break here, but we'll get a little a little bit on Ezekiel
16:43
Elliott. Uh do you think
16:45
you mentioned this on the Frenzy on Friday that you
16:47
had him seventh in your rankings? Now does
16:50
he keep going down the longer he holds
16:52
out for I mean, does
16:55
he keep going down your rankings? And where's
16:58
the point of no return for you? Like I gotta
17:00
take him? I keeping I'm going to well
17:03
right now? Yeah, he he will continue
17:06
to slide a little bit the longer he stays he's in
17:08
Cambo Cabo. Um. You know, if
17:10
he comes back to Dallas and he's
17:12
in Dallas, then he won't slide
17:14
as as much because I figured they've got to be working on
17:16
it. Look, I fully expect to be back
17:19
to but at this point there is a chance
17:21
he can miss maybe week one, week
17:23
two. I just don't know. If it happens, we'll
17:26
talk about it more on the other side. Maurice

we can't Fantasy update George
20:35
in Rex, Jim
20:38
and I are participating in the Cool Squad
20:41
Thursday Night that's through UH with
20:43
Chris Venture the listeners on the Fantasy
20:46
Football Frenzy Show, and I
20:48
just found in the draft order I
20:51
have. Oh
20:55
okay, oh, I think be
20:57
in your choice. That's way I dont have to worry about kill
21:00
Elliott. Uh so that's
21:02
not I'm not gonna ask you're gonna pick. We know you're gonna get great
21:04
running back no matter what you do. Probably I would assume
21:06
you're gett Kamara. But yeah,
21:12
I'm sure you would, uh
21:16
get I'll get to that a second though. But okay,
21:18
so I was we were talk about Ezekiel Elliott, all
21:21
right. Uh, I don't want to take him at
21:23
I already have him in the other the other league we're in, the Frenzy
21:26
League. Also
21:29
drafted him in the league, but
21:31
we'll call it the Pitt League. I like that better, Pitt
21:34
League. I I took him with five, and I
21:36
could have got him last night my home league, Jim,
21:38
and I wasn't doing it just in case,
21:40
as you said, he does miss a
21:42
week or two or the soft tissue injury, uh
21:45
sort of thing there. So I don't want to take too many chances.
21:48
Fifth pick. I assume once
21:50
again Kamara McCaffrey
21:54
Barkley all gone. I
21:57
already have David Johnson two leagues now, and I want
21:59
to take him to the third league. If he fools, I get undo
22:01
in a league. I
22:03
don't think. If you got that concerned, you go with the
22:05
wide receiver. That's what I tell everybody if you're
22:07
worried about those running backs in that range. Personally,
22:10
I love David Johnson. I've been grabbing them everywhere.
22:13
If not David Johnson, it's James Conner.
22:16
But if you're not really sold on any of them,
22:18
then grab DeAndre Hopkins or
22:20
grab Davante big Items,
22:23
whoever is your number one wide receiver at
22:25
that point. Because you're you're solid there
22:27
at that point. You could always make the running backs up
22:29
later on. If you're really that concerned,
22:32
don't get boiled down into thinking at
22:34
that point, oh, I gotta take a running back
22:36
here at five or at six, you don't,
22:39
you know, Grab that top wide receiver on
22:41
your list and roll with it. It's a nice safe
22:43
pick. You get away from a lot of that guardia
22:45
but of worrying about these running backs, and
22:47
you don't have to, So I absolutely
22:50
recommend if you're that worried about it, go away
22:52
from it. Grab a wide receiver. That's
22:55
great advice. And I've had the eighth pick. I probably follow that.
22:58
I find on taking running back. I like
23:00
David Johnson's Well. My only issue is I in my
23:02
last two drafts, I've gotten David Johnson. He
23:04
fell to eleven in one league, and I got
23:06
him yesterday too. I forget where Uh
23:09
you know, I'm I'm a David Johnson believer. Eleven.
23:12
I take David Johnson eleven
23:14
and a heartbeat super flex league.
23:16
That's why I fell. Uh. I
23:19
was surprised, mind you. And there were some people not like you don't
23:21
don't believe. Let's get home league wasn't an exercent
23:23
league. They don't listen in the home
23:26
league. You say, oh David Johnson Arizona card was
23:28
blah, suck that thing. So I wasn't
23:30
surprised. He felt, you know, this was not far from the next. But a
23:32
couple of guys know what they're doing. A couple of guys don't you
23:34
know me? Home lea. Yeah,
23:38
that's a money league. It's a heavy money league. But
23:40
you better have about every Every
23:42
money league needs donators. Yes,
23:45
I agree, I like donations, donations.
23:48
I'm a big believer in this gym twelve team league. This
23:50
is any league expert, Uh, you
23:53
know, home leaguer or whatever. Three teams
23:55
they get eliminated by injuries. Yeah, I'm
23:58
one injury. You got crushed. You
24:00
have your team and on the the I R. And
24:02
that's what you've done. You know. So we
24:04
already eliminate three teams. You can eliminate
24:06
another two to three teams. Yeah, even
24:08
an expert leagues, they just didn't pay attention, they didn't
24:10
make the right moves. They were always behind. You
24:13
know, they're playing a hundred and fifty leagues
24:15
and forgot that sort of thing. Leagues.
24:20
Yeah, I don't understand those people. Man, don't they have a line?
24:22
Uh? Isn't it? They literally play fantasy baseball?
24:25
Um. So I always believe Jim that I
24:28
just need to avoid being the injury guy. And there's really no way
24:30
you can avoid it. Just don't take a whole bunch of I
24:32
guess injury prone players. But if I
24:34
could avoid being the injury guy, I've only got
24:36
to beat out five or six other guys.
24:39
I'm a big believer in that. Just gonna avoid being the
24:41
injury guy. Well,
24:43
look I look at it slightly differently.
24:45
When I go into a draft, the one
24:47
thing I always feel pretty confident is
24:50
is I'm not going to be in the bottom six, so all
24:52
I gotta do is beat five. Others see
24:56
the same the same way. I agree. Uh,
24:59
do you have a rival even if they don't know their
25:01
arrival? Do you have somebody? And you playing leagues? I'm not saying
25:03
every league, but that he realized, Damn,
25:06
I never beat this guy. Not what it matters. Maybe
25:09
you know who you finished eighth and he finished and
25:11
he finished ninth. Yeah, you beat him, but it didn't matter. Is
25:13
there anybody out there a name? Yeah?
25:16
There is actually, and there's one that's on this
25:18
network that for some reason, he's got
25:21
my number, and that's Mr Adam roynas
25:23
Um. He's always tough for hilarious.
25:26
He's a great draft or he's a great fantasy
25:28
player. And for some reason, I have a lot
25:31
of issues playing against Adam Ronas. I
25:34
guess who mine is? Uh,
25:37
Tony Sincotten, No,
25:39
that's Adam, Sorry,
25:42
Tony, the same
25:44
guyon He's good, He's no doubt
25:46
about it. He is good. He's he plays
25:49
his game well. He's not somebody who just talks about
25:51
it. He plays his game well. A
25:54
lot of guys out there to talk about it don't play
25:56
the game. Well. I've
25:58
told Adam, I'm sure I beat him in
26:00
the leagues where it once again, I finished eighth, he finished night. Who
26:02
cares? But when it ever came down to where it was
26:05
important, I've always I've lost the playoffs to him. He's always
26:07
fished a head of be in baseball. It's uh,
26:09
it's frustrating. I doubt he cares,
26:11
but it's first training to me. That's once
26:13
I want to be a finished ahead of been a league mattered.
26:16
You know it's been. Uh it makes me. I told that, I'm
26:18
miss I don't know why. You know, I know why.
26:20
He's a very good player, but uh, you
26:22
know, even in matches where I thought I had to be the advantage,
26:24
he always comes out ahead. Uh just pisses
26:27
me off. Really, Actually, this makes me mad. You
26:29
know, it's always always somebody you Uh you
26:31
can't you have trouble beating How
26:34
are you Jim? Once again, I always like Jim asking
26:36
Jim these crushers. He plays in a lot of leagues, so he has
26:38
a better, uh a better overall view than I.
26:40
Would think just about anybody. I
26:43
think from when you and I first started playing, the
26:46
big changes trading right. So, um,
26:48
I guess a two part question to you. I'm assuming in a lot
26:50
of leagues you're playing, you don't see as many trades as you used
26:52
to, and be are you one of these
26:54
guys who believes that trading pretty much? You'd be out
26:56
well because you know, you want to avoid the collusion
26:59
and the idea of trades that do happen here. How do
27:01
you feel about trading in general? I
27:03
love to trade, Um, I absolutely do. Um.
27:06
So you know, I do play a lot of
27:09
leagues, but a lot of them are free leagues, just because
27:11
I love to draft and have fun with it.
27:14
And it's really hard to have fun in a money
27:16
league. You know, maybe in a friends money
27:18
league you can have fun because you can get on each other
27:20
all the time, but you know, to play
27:23
in money leagues against guys you don't know and stuff
27:25
really doesn't hold a lot of appeal to me
27:28
because it's still fun to me, and
27:30
that isn't fun. Uh. You know, you can't
27:33
trade in those In most of those leagues
27:35
things like that, there's very little interaction,
27:38
you know, I don't really find that as
27:40
much fun. I know, you know, when I play
27:42
those leagues, I'm in it to win it, and that's
27:45
what I'm doing. But for me, I
27:47
much prefer, you know, leagues that are more casual,
27:50
maybe even free, where you have people
27:52
talking trash and you can make trades
27:54
whatever you do. Uh, nobody's really
27:57
grumbling about anything because there's no money
27:59
on a line. To me, that's just more
28:02
the pure fun of fantasy football. UM
28:05
don't get me wrong. I play in plenty of money leagues,
28:07
and um as cut throat as they come when
28:09
they get into money league. But you know,
28:11
for me, I love to trade, and I love leagues
28:14
where I can trade, and I trade all
28:16
the time. It's
28:19
just it's one thing I does over the years. Though I mean, trades are
28:22
I think it's it's it's actually your fault. It's my fault.
28:25
It's because of what we do. People are so afraid
28:27
to trade. They're so afraid that if
28:29
they make a trade, Jim Day is now going what were
28:32
you thinking? You're an idiot? How could you do
28:34
this? You know the solution that be, But
28:36
be by the way, maybe you want to get in touches
28:39
before you make a trade. If you worried about what we're
28:41
gonna say, which means you told us somehow, then about
28:43
asking us about the trade. We'll give you our opinion.
28:45
Yeah, but I think people are so afraid now when I ever, like, I'm
28:48
not gonna say every offer, but probably two
28:50
thirds of the offers I get now are just insulting. And
28:52
if you insult me, I'm not I'm not even giving you a reply back.
28:54
I'm sorry, I'm not in my
28:56
mind you have no interest, then you're looking at rit me
28:58
off. If you be an offer, I understand
29:01
it's a solid offer, maybe not your best offer, but then
29:03
we can negotiate, we can have fun. And when we work
29:05
on our trade. But you insult me, Jim, I just lose. I
29:07
lose interest. I judge this is interest in
29:09
the trade. And I find that mostly trade
29:12
offers I get someone's looking to rip me
29:14
off because they don't want to hear it. They don't want
29:16
to hear from Jim Day that you were You're an idiot, you
29:18
made a terrible deal. They're hoping that they can be on the others.
29:20
Okay, I'll be the idiot, and that's annoys
29:22
me to no end. Yeah, I'm
29:24
with you. I don't love those kind of offers either.
29:27
You know, God guy coming up
29:29
with some you know, crazy thing. He give
29:31
me sixteen pieces from my one stud.
29:33
You know, I don't care about the sixteen little pieces. I'll
29:36
take the stud, thank you very much. Um, you
29:38
know, and the thing the ones I love
29:40
for the guys to send you the offer. Yeah, you
29:42
get back to him saying no, that's really not for me, and
29:45
then they try to tell you how much better it is
29:47
for your team. Well,
29:49
thank you. I can do my own analysis. I appreciate
29:51
your help though, and I'll take that under
29:53
advisement, but um,
29:56
shut up. Um, don't
29:58
don't try and convince me how much this helps
30:00
my team. I can do that on my own.
30:03
That those are the ones that really get me. I'm
30:06
with you there. Thanks, Thanks.
30:09
I think I might know about fantasy. I think I realized
30:11
what my team is. Yeah, I don't need you to convince
30:13
me. I don't. I don't mind you trying a little bit. And that's
30:16
part of the game we play here. But don't go overboard.
30:18
If if I'm a flat note, it's a flat note,
30:20
believe me. If I'm interested in the deal, you'll get
30:22
it. You'll get a negotiation for me. I measured Matt
30:24
Deutsch. He gave me an offer that was fair. Granted
30:27
I don't need the players he was offering
30:29
me because I'm strong at those positions, but the orfer
30:31
was fair. So I did give him a counter and we'll see what how
30:33
it goes from there and we can work something out.
30:36
You know, but if you actually, if you insold me Jim,
30:38
I just get like really, because, like I said, if I'm
30:40
gonna trade with Jim Day, you know the first thing I'm gonna
30:42
do before I even told to Jim's look at Jim's team. Okay,
30:45
Jim, he's he's got great running backs, forget
30:47
about it. I'm not gonna but he's
30:49
weak at wide receiver. Okay, so maybe I I
30:52
have extra white receivers. I can work this in. I need a run receiver.
30:55
Which league are you looking at? It's
30:57
League eight two night
31:00
h But the idea is, I'm looking at your teeth and this way
31:02
I'm gonna get Jim interest. I'm not gonna offer Jim and running
31:04
back. He's got eighteen running backs and they're all
31:06
great. He doesn't need one, and I'm not gonna
31:08
make Jim my best offer. I'm not, but I'm not gonna insult him
31:10
other anybody way. This goes home. I'm this goes
31:12
for regular people too. I don't want to sell anybody in my
31:14
home leagues. I'll make it, I'll sound it over.
31:17
It's probably not my best offer. Less I'm gonna time cunch,
31:19
but a solid offer to get Jim's interest and
31:21
then Jim, really they come back to the okay or
31:24
now you know I'm not looking to deal. And if Jim says you're not looking
31:26
a deal, I move on. I'm not gonna pest thee him or
31:28
anybody else. I'm just I'm not that kind of guy. But
31:30
if he gives me back, he may say, Okay, I've reather that
31:32
this because then we have we have a conversation now and
31:35
now we maybe we can work something out. Maybe we can't.
31:37
That's just the way I said. I don't want to insult anybody,
31:39
Jim, especially anybody in the industry. Like insulting
31:42
you would be idiotic. Oh yeah, maybe Jim's a Maybe
31:44
Jim's drinking today and yes
31:47
twice by accident. That's what I feel
31:49
like people are hoping for I missed you by
31:51
a day. Damn. Um.
31:54
Yeah, I was drinking some nice McAllen eighteen
31:57
year uh blended uh
32:00
ingle vault last night. It was nice. Um. So
32:03
let's see during during the auction to which
32:05
made it even more fun than one with all
32:07
this luck news hit it was kind
32:09
of interesting. Actually, um I
32:11
am. I am what you call a
32:14
very fair trader. When I make an
32:16
offer, I have absolutely you
32:18
know, gone over your roster, gone over
32:20
my roster, picked out a couple of pieces
32:22
I think can help you, and picked out a couple of pieces
32:24
on your team that I think can help me. The
32:26
reason I do this is more
32:29
often than not, people's first reaction
32:31
if I offer them a trade is oh
32:34
crap, what does Jim know that I don't know? He
32:36
does this for a freaking living. Um, So I
32:38
can't trade with Jim. He knows something I don't know. So
32:41
I've become a much more fair trader
32:43
because I want those trades in the
32:45
future, and I want people to fee feel comfortable being
32:47
able to trade with me, know that, knowing
32:50
that I'm not going to rake them over the coals. So
32:52
I am always offering a trade I
32:54
think can help you as much as it helps
32:57
me. I really don't start from it anywhere
32:59
else. The guys that to come to me with all
33:01
the crazy offers, and I mean really off
33:03
the wall offers. Uh offer me
33:06
a backup running back in a uh wide
33:09
receiver three for a start running back. Things
33:11
like that, I usually turn around and offer
33:13
them, uh, you know, one of my players
33:16
for basically their entire team,
33:19
and throw that back at them, just
33:21
to say, hey, look, idiot, this this is you know
33:24
you want to make stupid offers, here's one for you. Um
33:26
so, yeah, I'm with you on that. I'm not a big
33:29
fan of that kind of stuff. People, you
33:31
know, don't overvalue your own
33:33
players and then come to me and tell me how great
33:35
they are for me. It's
33:38
but I don't even go without what you started talking
33:40
about, you know, if you're gonna make back.
33:42
Uh yeah, I mean it's frustrating
33:45
if you want to close off trade talks real quick when you
33:47
offer something like that, I would even
33:49
I wouldn't even be a small as like you are and give a reply
33:51
back. I just you know, I'm too busy
33:53
here, I ain't got I ain't got time to this.
33:56
I just don't have time for a trade offers make
33:58
something I can and I said, I never expect
34:00
your best trade off from I understand what we're going to
34:02
play the negotiation game here. Wow wow,
34:07
Okay, just to throw this out there real quick, something
34:09
you might want to talk about on the next show. But
34:12
early numbers out of Vegas have colts
34:14
wind total dropping from nine
34:16
point five to six point five.
34:21
Yeah, that that's something they'd be. It's funny.
34:23
We were doing it yesterday came and on. We did for every team
34:25
in the NFL yesterday before this, Uh,
34:27
neither one of us was touching Indianapoleis. We were leaving it alone.
34:30
We knew it would dropped. I didn't
34:32
know whould dropped three games. That's a heavy drop.
34:38
That. Uh, that is something you're absolutely right him and I
34:41
will be discussing that. Uh wow.
34:43
I mean, you know, I almost forgotten
34:45
about the luck thing. You depressed me again now
34:48
looking the leak, we will listen. I know you
34:50
have been a bunch of leaks soup. But yes,
34:53
well we'll definitely be discussing that. I don't think
34:55
there's any doubt we'll be discussing that all right,
34:57
next topic, Antonio, we
35:00
don't we sometimes we don't discuss as much on a fantasy
35:02
frenzy. So Jim Day, Uh,
35:05
Antonio Brown, you're feeling better about Brown? I assume
35:07
he he had his hearing. Uh, I was gonna
35:10
say yesterday Friday. I assume he's gonna lose
35:12
that hearing. Uh, Corny to Drew Rosenhouse. It
35:14
doesn't matter when I lose. He'll be there, you
35:16
know. I think Drew drewsy that's the plan right
35:18
now. Plans can change. Hopefully
35:21
he shows him all right, he doesn't get too angry
35:23
and decides it throw furniture obviously over roof again
35:25
Antonio Brown, I
35:28
mean, I assume you have been some names already.
35:31
How would you treat for guys who are drafting him tonight? What
35:33
are you doing? Would you take Antonio Brown? Yeah,
35:37
it really comes down to where he falls too,
35:39
And there's no doubt about it. Everybody
35:42
has value at some point in the draft. But
35:45
I am a little put off about him. Look,
35:48
it's not even so much him. I think he'll be there.
35:50
He'll be playing in some helmet or another. Heck,
35:52
maybe they he'll he'll try and get somebody to uh
35:55
disguise his helmet to make it look like one of the
35:57
approvements. I don't know what to do, but he'll be
35:59
on the field. My problem is more how
36:01
much time he's missed, you
36:03
know, in preseason training camp because
36:05
of the feet, because of the helmet. You
36:07
know, when you're working with a new offense and a new quarterback,
36:10
you need time on the field, and that bothers me. So
36:13
again, I think he might get off to
36:15
a slow start. But then again, as I
36:17
said on the Frenzy, if he gets off to a slow
36:19
start, a savvy owner would then try and
36:21
swoop in and see if you can get him on the cheap, because
36:23
I think he'll definitely get better
36:26
as the season goes on. Guys too good
36:28
not to Okay,
36:30
America's favorite game show. What
36:33
would Jim do? Brown
36:36
or Keenan Allen? Right
36:39
now, I'll go Keenyan Allen. Absolutely love
36:41
him in this uh, especially with Tyrean
36:44
Williamss gone, Keenan Allen is gonna
36:46
suck up a lot of targets. Agreed.
36:48
I did that last night. Actually took it. Took Allen over Brown,
36:51
h Brown or Marie
36:54
Cooper who hasn't you know what?
36:57
At this point, I'm gonna stick with Brown because
36:59
Mary Cooper has been missing time now with the
37:01
foot injury as well. And while he did come
37:03
in last year and have a couple of good games, he had a
37:05
couple of games that weren't so good. I do expect
37:08
him to bounce back, but this foot injury is starting to
37:10
bother me. I
37:12
agree. I would take Brown as well. Mr
37:14
Kopa Brown or Edelman? Uh
37:18
oh man um, Yeah, that's tough.
37:21
I like Edelman just because he's got that safe
37:23
four. Brown's definitely
37:25
got a higher ceiling. But I think I'd go with
37:27
Edelman. But I'd be back and forth,
37:31
feeling last one, feeling
37:34
easy. All right,
37:36
it's a good little who
37:39
thinks out of mere big point with
37:41

Weekend Fantasy Update. I'm

40:56
in for Joke Leaner or Mike Blewett,
40:58
maybe both. I don't know. Uh, it's just the
41:00
way it is here. Uh. Jim, by the way, once
41:03
again, we I thank you very much. You've covered for me
41:05
on the month. Vocals you've covered for from Mike Joe.
41:08
Uh. And I know weekends of pain. You
41:10
know, everybody has stuff they want to do here, but certainly
41:12
appreciate you've made our life a lot, especially gorgeous
41:15
Sunday morning we have here in New York. Yes,
41:19
it is a little cool. You can feel a football
41:21
in there, can't you feel it a little bit? Oh? I love
41:23
it. Yesterday today is this is my perfect
41:26
weather. Give me, give me high
41:28
sixties, low seventies, and I'm in heaven. I
41:31
agree. It's funny when yeah, when
41:33
it comes to football, gym, when he comes to baseball, I played
41:35
baseball. She played nice, sunny weather hot, you know,
41:37
that's when it's good football. On the opposite, man,
41:39
I watching football when it's sunny
41:42
out, I'm like, oh, you know, I like little at least a little great
41:44
clouds like play at least in grayness. I
41:46
prefer snow and rain and mud and all that stuff.
41:49
But uh yeah, it just has
41:51
to be a mess. It just has to be a little
41:53
bit of a mess. So I like that. Even
41:55
though nowadays they tend to delay the games and anything
41:58
in lane got the bid we
42:00
should blame when the weather is rough here, you see the delay
42:03
games if it's thunder and lightning lightning,
42:06
But speak of lightning, did you see the golf? I don't know what
42:08
tournament it was. I'm not a big guy. I don't watch much god,
42:10
but uh bolt hit the course
42:13
and uh injured some fans. I think it hit a hit
42:15
a tree. I guess the splinters and the tree
42:18
some fans. They have a video. No, I
42:20
did not see that. Yeah.
42:22
I just mean while the NFL is saying, and you
42:25
wonder why we delayed games. Yeah,
42:27
you're right, I get it. It's
42:31
just that, you know, I just get annoyed. You
42:33
know, Uh what was that one game? Wasn't
42:35
was it the last year? The game in Miami? That was it
42:38
started at one and end of eight thirty? Yeah?
42:40
Right, yeah that was. But
42:43
hey, you gotta be prudent. You gotta
42:45
be safe when it comes to fans. I mean, if
42:48
if a fan gets hurt because they got hit
42:50
by lightning in the stadium, and man,
42:54
there's so many repercussions from that, it isn't
42:56
funny. Oh no, I agree, safety
42:59
does come first. I want to say, I'm annoyed. Uh
43:01
you know, it's still safety comes first. I'm
43:04
well, I'm I'm the guy who believes him of player
43:06
safety. But I I want eighteen. I
43:08
want an eighteen game schedule too, because I want to kill them.
43:10
In the February. I hate the month of February.
43:13
You know, football has just ended. You know, it's
43:15
and ends of the first week of the you know, Super Bowl of the first
43:17
Sunday in February. It's the coldest month of
43:19
the year. It's miserable in Northeast Youn. You can't
43:21
barely go out. Valentine's Days is
43:23
in February. Every guy gets screwed. Uh,
43:26
and not a good way. And in February.
43:28
So you know you have two well weeks now,
43:31
I killed them at the February. It gives me a little closer to baseball,
43:33
so I'd be very happy with it. With
43:35
an eighteen game schedule. That's when I start my fantasy
43:38
football dress. Yes,
43:40
I know, believe me. I see them on Twitter
43:42
over time. Jim's gonna have a draft Master today. It's
43:45
you know it's about I mean, I literally I started
43:47
my first draft for nineteen the day
43:49
after the Super Bowl. I'm
43:55
not surprised. So not
43:57
surprised. There. Do you you met your year
43:59
with draft of five clock today? Correct? Yes,
44:02
I have drafted five o'clock today. OK.
44:05
What kind of league? Uh? It's a uh,
44:08
it's actually a pretty decent
44:10
money online Championship league. Nice,
44:14
so we know what Jim will be doing you at five o'clock today. Uh,
44:17
now you mentioned before you you joked that you go in
44:20
the goon squad league on Thursday night,
44:22
you gonna take the homes at three? I'm
44:25
bait once again. If you were in one league, or it's
44:27
a couple of leagues, are you're going he
44:29
would ever take my homes in round three? W
44:32
whears ADPs? Are you? Are you a believer
44:34
waiting for a quarterback? Well?
44:37
You know, because I play in so many leagues, I absolutely
44:39
do most of the time wait for a quarterback.
44:42
But there have been a couple of those leagues where
44:44
I wanted to shift it up and go different, and
44:46
there's a couple of them to night. I do have my homes
44:49
that I grabbed in the third. Look,
44:51
he is what he is. That kid had an amazing season.
44:53
On next year more than likely doesn't
44:56
reach the same numbers he had last year.
44:58
But even if he only has if he has a regression,
45:02
we're still looking at four thousand yards and forty
45:04
touchdowns, which probably puts him at the top
45:06
of the heap. Again. So you know, I'm
45:08
not really worried about him. He definitely represents
45:10
value. He could absolutely
45:13
be the top scoring quarterback again.
45:16
So you know, I don't have any problem with it. If
45:18
somebody wants to do it, if that's their only league, especially
45:20
if they got money on it, why not grab
45:22
the best quarterback in the league and run with it. I
45:25
mean, you lost number two or three in luck.
45:28
You know Watson, that out old line
45:30
is losing people that just lost Lamar Miller.
45:33
You know, if they don't really make up for that, then
45:35
he's got a drop in fantasy drafts.
45:38
So you know, at this point he could clearly have that
45:40
early rung tier all to himself. Okay,
45:45
I'll switch up to the tight end. We've seen Travis
45:47
Kelsey go. We we know the first round in
45:50
some leagues. Here, I use somebody in
45:52
the majority leagues who would do that. Would you take
45:54
Kelsey maybe? Would you take Kelsey around one? Would
45:56
you take Arts at the end of round two, round three? Kittles?
45:58
Same thing? Or do you wait on height end as
46:00
well in a majority of your leagues majority
46:02
of my league's I wait, um. In some leagues
46:05
I've waited too long, But in most
46:07
leagues, I wait, um. But I have
46:09
taken Kelsey. I'm a little off
46:12
Earth's this year, just because of the
46:14
fact that how much they're talking about they want
46:16
to use Goddard, and I really like Goddard.
46:19
I think he's gonna be a future star in this league.
46:22
So the fact that they're talking about it and they're
46:24
getting them involved already. He's had a good off
46:26
season in preseason, I think it's
46:28
gonna cut a little bit into Earth, So I
46:30
wouldn't go out of Highers Earth. And we've actually
46:33
seen Earth's drop into
46:35
the fifth and six rounds in some drafts now,
46:37
so he's definitely fallen. Kittle.
46:39
I don't think it's gonna fall as far, just because,
46:42
look, the wide receiver corps isn't coming together
46:44
as much as they want. You know, early in the preseason
46:46
they said they were gonna get rid of uh Golden
46:49
Goldwin. Uh Marky's Golden
46:52
Goodwin. Damn. I couldn't get that out of my mouth. Mark
46:54
He's Goodwin. Now all of a sudden, he's a starter.
46:57
Um Dante Pettis.
46:59
You know, everybody coming into the season
47:01
thought he was gonna be there number one and go to
47:04
guy, and he's had a terrible off season,
47:06
yet he still seems to be their starters.
47:08
So while they're you know,
47:10
entrenches their starters right now, none
47:13
of them have really showcased much
47:15
to stand out, and that scares
47:17
me. So I could see Kittle just getting
47:19
as much use as as he got last year, just
47:22
based on the fact that he could very well be the best
47:24
receiver they have on that team right now. So
47:27
I'm not worried about Kittles. So I have Kittle
47:29
too, behind Kurt behind uh
47:32
Kurt's and Art's
47:35
a little Kelsey and Hurts a little while
47:37
later. Uh, So I
47:39
have no problem taking Kelsey that
47:41
really, he definitely gives you a definitive edge.
47:44
In my projections, I have him at fifty
47:46
points higher than any other tight end this year,
47:49
so I definitely believe in him.
47:51
And that that one draft I told you
47:53
about that I grabbed mahomes
47:55
and three a couple of weeks ago, I grabbed
47:58
Kelsey and one actually grabbed Damian
48:00
Williamson too too. I wanted to see what the Casey
48:02
stack would do, but I did do that,
48:04
So I can't say I would never with
48:08
the majority of the year league you're playing, imagine you've
48:10
done but every possible strategy.
48:13
I have draft. I just draft. I
48:15
just drafted a league the other night, where my caveat
48:18
going into the league was I was gonna draft
48:20
to play players I had on no other
48:23
no other leagues, and it really
48:25
turned out to be quite hard, but
48:28
I did it. I don't
48:31
draft anywhere else. Let's
48:33
talk about that for a second. Give me some
48:35
of your players that I understand, and you
48:38
know you're gonna you're gonna have every player, but
48:40
that generally you don't want
48:42
and give me. Give me some players and the reasons why. Okay,
48:46
let's see you go right off the top. I mean four Nett always
48:48
always tops that list for me. I
48:51
don't normally draft him. Look, I I know he
48:53
could have given sixteen years, could be a top
48:55
running back in the league based on sheer volume,
48:58
But I just don't think he's a good running back. And
49:00
I just won't buy it. Between you know, the injury
49:03
history and the idiocy injury. I've
49:05
stayed away pretty much all um.
49:08
I haven't grabbed a lot of Levian Bell
49:10
this year just because he's going too early
49:13
for me. I just don't Look.
49:15
I know he's a good running back. I get all that. It's
49:17
more of the offense. That worries me more than Bell
49:19
does, So I worry about that. Uh,
49:22
let's see some other guys. I'm trying to go through the top of
49:24
my head. Melvin Gordon I've absolutely stayed
49:26
away from just because I am concerned he sits up
49:28
a good part of the year unless
49:31
they do make a trade. I'm trying to think of some other names
49:33
here. Uh. I
49:35
don't normally grab Stefon Diggs. I
49:38
think he's too up and down. Uh He's
49:40
you know, all over the board. He'll give you some great weeks,
49:43
but he'll give you some weeks where he just absolutely disappears.
49:46
Uh. Let's see. Um, I'm a little
49:49
off Robert Woods this year just because
49:51
I think with Cup coming back, I think Woods takes
49:53
a big hit. And then the other
49:55
one. Man, I was just thinking of Robert
49:59
Woods and uh, wells
50:01
man, I had another one in my head that was a perfect example,
50:04
and now I just went out. Sorry,
50:06
guys, trying to go through this real quick. D
50:09
J. Moore, I I don't look, I think he's gonna
50:11
be a good wide receiver. I'm just not betting
50:13
on him where where his current a DP is coming
50:15
from. Much rather have Curtis Samuel later
50:18
h good five or six rounds later in some cases,
50:21
and I just think overall he's much
50:23
better value rather have a shot at that.
50:26
UM who else did we include?
50:29
Uh? Austin
50:34
Ekeler is being overvalued
50:37
in my eyes right now, coming up too
50:39
high, so I won't take I haven't taken
50:41
much of him. Tarik coh and I haven't taken
50:43
much of him. Um D
50:46
D. Westbrook. I haven't taken much of him
50:49
because he got off to a bad start in preasing
50:51
but in O t A s and
50:54
training camp. But he's really starting to come on lately,
50:56
so that might change in the later drafts.
50:59
I might have some investment in him.
51:01
Corey Davis is another one I just won't draft,
51:03
going too high for me in that offense.
51:06
Now they're talking about maybe Tannehill starting,
51:08
so there's definitely quite a few people. Sammy Watkins
51:11
is another one. I just can't stay healthy
51:13
long enough to really put up a great season. Has
51:15
a couple of good games, but that's about
51:17
it. Uh So that that's a good core. But there's
51:19
definitely a lot of guys I could name. Yeah,
51:23
I can see I'm not gonna enjoy being a drafting anywhere
51:25
near you on thurs because you and I are in the same
51:27
wavelength. I think. Uh, I might have only decreed
51:29
one player you name there. I'm not gonna tell you who it is. Uh,
51:32
But other than that, I was pretty much humble with everybody
51:35
else do you named? As far as players, I'm not big
51:37
on either. So you said you have three,
51:39
I have five with me two spots a wave from each each
51:41
other. That's not going to be enjoyable. I
51:43
never like to draft anyway near Scott angle eid because
51:45
he and I always thought the same too, so I knew he
51:47
was gonna steal some of my players. Uh, you
51:50
know, be pencil I call him pencil breakers. When
51:52
somebody snipes you over and over again. I don't get
51:54
mad once, you know, not the three or four times,
51:56
and then then I called pencil breakers because it's
51:58
just annoys time. I'll
52:01
tell you my biggest My best experience
52:03
with Scott angle was back
52:05
in eleven. We did that Fantasy
52:08
Football Expert Expo down in Atlantic
52:10
City, and we did a live draft
52:13
for serious Um on air
52:15
right there at the expo. And
52:18
I had never met Scott before. I had worked
52:20
with him a couple of times. I had talked to him on you
52:23
know phone a couple of times. We've never met
52:25
him in person. And we ended up
52:27
sitting right next to each other for the
52:29
draft. And my
52:31
experience was every single time somebody
52:34
in the draft said the word ball, football,
52:36
ball, any any combination, Scott
52:39
would lean over to me and go he said,
52:42
Paul d He said ball
52:44
every single freaking time for their
52:47
draft. And if you go back, you know
52:49
I've gone back and listened to the taping of it, you
52:52
can always hear me in the background say cut
52:54
it out, Scott, cut it out. We're
52:57
on air, cut it out. Um. So,
52:59
yeah, it was kind of funny. We had a great time there.
53:01
But yeah, that was my real introduction
53:04
to to Scott Angle as I know him
53:06
today. I
53:09
mean, I I enjoyed with Scott and he was he was a lot
53:11
of fun to work with. I mean I was there when he was was
53:14
kiss Regalia back when we were on
53:16
the show. I'm like, oh my god, he is
53:18
this crazy? Uh he he
53:23
He dressed up as a referee once to
53:25
do a show and because
53:27
he found he found out that I you know, ref hockeys,
53:29
goes, oh, bring a referee to up and bring a yellow flag every
53:33
time I didn't like something that he said, I had to throw the
53:35
flag, and I say, oh
53:37
my god, this is this is nuts. But
53:39
the thing about Beavis and butt head pull, he said,
53:41
Bull, that's that's him in befone. He used to do that all
53:43
the time. You know, those two together.
53:46
So yeah, that that's so Scott.
53:48
This is do that during a draft. Uh god,
53:50
plus uh he
53:53
said, Bull, Oh
53:55
god, um god,
53:57
I mean really all right? Uh so,
54:00
yeah, you're gonna be a problem for me on Thursday. I don't. But I don't
54:03
like guys who are in the same way like this man, like guys who
54:05
obviously they are gonna be worried about the players or
54:07
a light players. I don't because then they might you
54:09
might take them. Who's but you know who's between us? I
54:13
don't anymore closely, email hold one, let me see
54:15
if I can find. It's probably
54:17
a fan anyway, so it wouldn't matter. Actually
54:20
I got a right there between Yeah, big time
54:22
or Steve is in between us, all
54:25
right, so we'll see Steve does Uh,
54:29
Steve is a pretty contractor. I'll throw
54:31
some wrenches into our game. And
54:34
it's as a start a regularly like, so pretty
54:36
much our standard leader is we didn't make a super Oh it's twelve
54:38
team. Did you go super flex? He originally
54:40
said four team, and you know, and I thought that was a bad idea. Go,
54:43
let's face it, A couple of teams are not gonna have quarterbacks
54:45
at all. Yeah, we're gonna be definitely
54:47
talking back into the super flex in the twelve team
54:49
or I agree, absolutely problems.
54:52
I think Chris is out in the first couple
54:54
of days next week. We
54:59
may not see him until Thursday, which is the night
55:01
of the draft. Supposedly, all right there,
55:04
we'll be football friends at Jim Dana, Uh, well, we
55:06
will be doing it. I don't know if I'm hosting. I don't
55:08
know if we're gonna have another host. Uh, we'll
55:10
see. We'll see what comes up to there, but we'll we're
55:12
doing what the a f C West this week,
55:15
Jim, I don't know. I just look
55:17
at it a couple of minutes before the show
55:19
and see what team he wants to talk about. This
55:22
is you're ahead of me. I ac resually don't look at all. I
55:25
think I'm pretty sure that's the only division we haven't done
55:27
I'm not a hundred percent sure here, but I
55:29
know we've done did the Jets because I couldn't remember
55:31
that. So we did the East because I could remember the Jets finished
55:34
last last year. I remember talking about
55:36
Pittsburgh. I think, trying
55:38
to look really quick, we
55:40
couldn't be the
55:43
entire a f c. Um.
55:47
I'm pretty sure it's the West. I think the West. Yeah,
55:50
I'm not at home, but I don't think we did the NFC
55:52
West either. I
55:55
thought we were right on target to fish food the seed starts.
55:58
I'm not He's no he we did the NFC. We
56:00
did because we went overall. You know, well, we
56:02
did the world our World Series are stuper Bowl
56:04
picks and stuff like that. We did do the entire NFC.
56:06
I remember doing that. So I'm
56:09
just not so sure what division with you next week. You'll find out
56:11
on Monday. Everybody will be surprised that the rest of us. So
