Informed, outspoken, wild, fearless. This is the Fantasy Football Dudes podcast.
Speaker 2:What is up, my dudes? This is Trent with the Fantasy Football Dudes podcast. I am joined by Seth Jordan and Phil. We have our week six recap here today. Crazy week, you know. A lot of NFC East losses this week, phil. You want to start this off for us, buddy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think the NFL is playing in London way too much. They're playing in the UK way too much. I enjoy the Sunday morning games. I think that's. One of the best things about this whole thing is that we get to watch football before we go to church. But we're starting to see flops at an alarming rate. These guys are flopping all over the place and I frankly think that it probably has a little bit to do with UK soccer or football, uk football bleeding into American sports and I frankly have a problem with it. I don't know if you guys saw the punter Heck, yeah, the punter gets them to the I think it was the returners face and the guy just bombs. I'm like what are we doing here? We're playing too much UK football. We're not playing enough American football. And it's like that's not a blessing, that's a curse, like we don't want to take flops in this league. We don't want to turn it into LeBron's NFL league. Sorry, jordan, I know you're probably hurt by me saying that, but this is American football NFL. We don't flop in NFL. Yes, it happens from time to time. This cannot be a reoccurring event. That's all I'm simply saying.
Speaker 4:For what it's worth. You know they don't flop very much in English Premier League soccer.
Speaker 3:Do they flop more than two times a game?
Speaker 4:I mean you understand that, only the South.
Speaker 3:American answers.
Speaker 4:No, I actually don't how much your. How much Premier League soccer do you watch on a weekly basis, phil?
Speaker 5:how many South American players are in the Premier League a lot.
Speaker 4:Not it Not that many actually?
Speaker 5:No, there's enough.
Speaker 4:Phil has a solid point Like, like Neymar has, neymar is the one who flops. Neymar does not play in the Premier League. There's other guys that South Americans then yeah, I'm not saying there's, but you act like this. No, how about this?
Speaker 3:Ride with me, ride with me, ride with the red, white and blue. Today, baby, I'm not asking you to drink tea and eat crumpets. I'm asking you to eat a hot dog.
Speaker 5:A lot of red, white and blue. They can cheeseburger. Maybe you can pay flag too for what it's worth.
Speaker 2:Seth. You know what Seth, what that is so.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, you know what Seth.
Speaker 2:These are the same two guys, phil, that like hey, it's just a teatax man, like who cares, like you know what I mean.
Speaker 3:The king's probably a nice guy so yeah, I don't know what these guys, these guys, you know I'm, I'm over here Just trying to amp up.
Speaker 4:No, it's just. Here's the thing. Phil lies for content on the pod. My job is to call him out when he lies for constant on the pod. No, that's actually incorrect, and in turn, that provides more content for the pod, so it all works out.
Speaker 5:It's got a good point.
Speaker 2:No, that push was really good. Like the punter pushes him, then the punter goes in for seconds. You know like, oh, there's some leftovers here, push them again. The guy just flops 15 yard penalty on the punter. I was like I have never seen that before in my life. A punter, you're a 15 yard penalty after the play. Let alone during the play yeah, it was.
Speaker 3:It was, yeah, it was good stuff Overall. I mean things got kind of chippy. The Niners Browns got a little bit chippy, like it was a very interesting, a very interesting weekend, but you guys doing all right, everybody doing. Okay, jordan, you're look like you just got done. Coaching I I similar level had some elite coaching that I did on Saturday. I was my two assistant coaches were out on vacation so I was running the show. I recruited my dad to coach the bench while I was running the field. But yeah, how you doing, jordan.
Speaker 4:Good yeah, I just came back from basketball. Had a little fall stuff going on. We're about three weeks away from the season starting, so it's coming up crazy. Yeah, november 7th we have a scrimmage. So no, it was a good weekend, actually a really good weekend. So kind of broke even today in NFL, maybe made a little bit of money and then had a really good college football UFC Saturday. So yeah, pretty pretty good weekend. Pretty happy with the weekend. Sutherton, I got destroyed in my season long stuff, but it is what it is.
Speaker 2:Sutherton.
Speaker 3:Sutherton, what's going on, my guy?
Speaker 2:It's like a mix between Saturday and Samaritan.
Speaker 5:I love. I love Phil's made up words Like he, just like the seven o'clock text saying that Justice Hill or Gus Edberg's lyrics looks to say I'm like what do you mean? Does that mean? And they didn't even look that good, do you look?
Speaker 3:all right that first drive.
Speaker 2:D's. That sounds like an inappropriate junior high joke, phil, like come on, man, he's like, he looks like D's.
Speaker 5:I'm like whoa, I don't know. He said D's. I wasn't going to say D's who.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean. Like that was a perfect setup for Phil to just you know. You want to wait.
Speaker 5:You're so good, I'm like I don't want to look at D's. You know, I think I'll pass Never mind.
Speaker 3:That was too far down the rabbit hole.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:I was going to say what was a good weekend? Good weekend, yeah. Today's week, yeah, had a fun time. It was relaxing.

We're going to talk about where we were right, where we were wrong. You know what hurt us. All kinds of you know NFL news and notes from a fantasy football perspective, phil, you're doing a okay job so far, buddy, so you want to keep this party rolling.
Speaker 3:Yes, thank you for it. Thank you for a little pal. I think, little buddy old pal, I will uh, one of the. I think we had an absolutely monster win and I think it just ended up playing in our favor there. But I trend you want to. You had our big by far the biggest, uh by far the biggest start here. So, uh, you want to touch on that a little bit with Raheem Moser.
Speaker 2:Uh, yeah, he just. It was a slam dunk play. I really wasn't expecting him to be running back one on the week, but dolphins are really good. I think you got it Anybody. What are you saying, jordan?
Speaker 4:What? What do you mean? You like, you, like, like pick. I've never mind. No, I thought I thought it was going to be good.
Speaker 2:I didn't think. I didn't think Raheem Moser would be running back one, but I also didn't think CMC would get hurt either.
Speaker 4:Right Like I think it's a great play, but he he had you always knew he had a chance to be like top three. Yeah. Yeah, the dolphins are an absolute machine. I don't want to take your shot, but dolphins are an absolute machine going against one of the worst Russian divas in the NFL.
Speaker 2:So like yeah, you could have played it. I even said, like, if Salvin Almeds lines up like plan, you know what I'm saying. I don't know what his, what his stat line was today.
Speaker 5:I should have. I had 10 plus points yeah.
Speaker 2:And honestly, it's almost whoever they play Like. This backfield is really good. Everyone's good, they're good, the whole team's good, whole team is good. Tyree Kale has 814 yards right now. He's on pace for 2,306. So the 2,000 mark looks it's, it's within reach if he can play. The guys out there stealing phones from the stands and then doing back flips with the selfie cam on. Did you see that? You guys see that?
Speaker 3:That is so cool, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:It was pretty cool. Yeah, Dolphins are kind of turning that like team. That's just really fun to watch from a fantasy football perspective. Like what's Tua on the season right now? Like two but two has got to be QB what.
Speaker 5:Probably top three right.
Speaker 2:Tua is QB seven right now. I don't know if this week's points are.
Speaker 4:It's because, it's because of all the rushing, all the run game.
Speaker 5:Yeah, the run game is good.
Speaker 4:Now the they had. They had like eight rushing touchdowns from running backs that one week, right. So outside of a what's the week they played prime time where they kind of sucked. Other than that they've been a machine all season.
Speaker 2:They played. I don't think they have a prime time game. They did.
Speaker 3:Are you talking about New England?
Speaker 2:They played the bills and they got killed or they got.
Speaker 4:Sunday night. It was a Sunday night game.
Speaker 2:I don't think they played on Sunday. There was a.
Speaker 4:Sunday night no, sunday night game they, they, they're always. It was New England, you're right New England.
Speaker 2:They didn't play well.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they didn't play well as usual. No, I mean the, and we we still have a. We still have Chase Claypool, a big piece that's going to play into that Miami puzzle. That just didn't strap up this.
Speaker 5:Add another rushing touchdown.
Speaker 1:They're calling him the vending machine.
Speaker 2:You see that they're calling him, that they say he looks like a machine.
Speaker 3:It's going to be like a Cordell Patterson light. Just wait, just wait till he, until he gets on the maybe heavy, I don't know you what a better way to maybe describe it.
Speaker 4:So they're. They're both just not going to play all year. That's what Cordell Patterson is doing not playing all year.
Speaker 3:I feel you right here. That's a good point, all right.
Speaker 2:Moving on here. Quick, quick, just quick injuries to monitor. From today it seems like we finally got a little bit of the injury bug. It seemed like for the most part we'd done pretty good from a fantasy football perspective, but Debo Samuel left the game. Cmc left the game. I don't think they've mentioned anything. What exactly was wrong? Justin Fields hurt his throwing thumb. Ryan Tannehill, I believe, was his knee. Jimmy G left the game in ambulance because of his back. David Montgomery. Anthony Richardson talked about, you know, maybe getting a season ending surgery. Trevor Lawrence left the game in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. Jordan, did he return?
Speaker 4:No well, they didn't they they were the next possession. They were kneeling the next possession. So he said that just a little bruise on the knees, a little bruised up, but he was walking around without any crutches or anything, so sounds like it should be okay.
Speaker 3:I think they're going to do more testing, but should be okay, I think the problem is with with Trevor Lawrence, he talks in the most boring way possible. So even if he was in excruciating pain, absolutely no one would know Like the guys, the guys, his tone, national championship, he can win a Super Bowl and I don't think his tone or facial expression would ever change Like the guy could. Yeah, who knows the guy in in the worst pain in that, or you would have no idea. Jordan, what do you think? What's going on here?
Speaker 5:You know that was painful to listen to.
Speaker 2:So you just glitched it out a little bit, Phil.
Speaker 3:Here's the. Here's the thing. Though, here's the thing. Oh, did I glitch in and out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's you I think you're good. Sorry, just just to remind the backseat buddy. It's okay we got this. Keep it going, phil. I think my my wifi might be overpowering yours.
Speaker 5:That's kind of kind of what happens I, I'm going to go with.
Speaker 3:I'm going to. I really want to lean into to our wins here, just because it is a little bit tough this week. But Seth Kyren Williams, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to. I'm going to lean into the. I'm going to. I'm going to lean into the. I'm going to lean into the games to see how things work.
Speaker 2:So it it's. It's what happens here, just cause it is a little bit tough this week.
Speaker 5:But Seth Kyren Williams what Kyren? Yeah, he's still frozen. He said, kyren Williams, I was like this is such a good spot for him. The Cardinals are terrible against running backs and I was nervous about it. And then all of a sudden the Rams decided to run the ball and he had 140 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. So I mean I guess I was right. It just took the Rams a whole half to realize they should run the ball and not just pass every play, and it worked.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 20 attempts, 158 rushing yards, averaging 7.9 yards per carry.
Speaker 5:He had one attempt, I think in the first half.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he did, it was crazy yeah he did tweak his ankle a little bit. The game was pretty close at half. I didn't even bring up Raheem Moser at Turtle. That was pretty sweet, that was pretty awesome. But yeah, rams, it was filthy. Yeah, howard, stafford, stafford, do. Okay, I said to stream him. That was kind of the guy playing my flag into 13 points, did it seem?
Speaker 5:like I think he just all the yards came from Cooper Cup, I think.
Speaker 2:Did the quarterback play seem really rough this week?
Speaker 5:Or was it Jesse? Okay, I was talking to somebody about this today. I think overall quarterback play and for fantasy points is at a low Compared to last year and years before. Like the quarterbacks aren't scoring as much points, I don't think is they usually do through week six and I think maybe even fantasy in general.
Speaker 2:Well, do you know who quarterback four was on the week, guys?
Speaker 5:No, I don't.
Speaker 2:Desmond Ritter with 19 points and he threw three picks. So you take those three picks away and he's probably closer to QB one, because Hertz was QB one with 22 points.
Speaker 5:Even three picks.
Speaker 2:So yeah.
Speaker 5:So I'm just, I just think the quarterback play in general this year is just down, like even we see from Patrick Mahomes. I'm like he's not playing like he was last year, you know, like he's playing at like 70%, like fantasy capacity, as he was last year.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Mahomes is QB two, but he's gone three straight games where he's scored less than 20 points. Fantasy points.
Speaker 5:That's what I'm saying. But I think, and I think in general, like the whole league is down in scoring. I mean maybe, maybe that's the exaggerating part, but the QB plays definitely down.
Speaker 2:What I think it is is none of these guys play preseason anymore, so I think it takes me longer to get going.
Speaker 4:You want to know what one speaking of back quarter Week five.
Speaker 2:Maybe what Maybe Phil?
Speaker 4:What, phil, you want to know. You want to know one the million dollars on DraftKings this week. Who, desmond Ritter? Stack Desmond Ritter. That's how bad quarterback was this week with Drake and. Cal, pitts, double stack with Pitts and London and no run back.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I don't even know. I don't even know if I can even say, like that is foresight, like that is just luck, like how do you did double stack it?
Speaker 1:So I mean it's a YOLO thrown up though yeah, it's a YOLO lineup.
Speaker 4:I'd be curious how many lineups he had in the 150 max, like how many lineups he had, because I don't know. I don't even know I wouldn't, even ever I was never going to get to. Yeah, I would never, even got there. I don't know.
Speaker 2:Well, just crazy. Just other stuff in the league. I was like Zach Wilson. He was QB 18 with 10 fantasy points. Geno Smith, joe Burrow was QB 12 with 14. Like just a really rough week from the quarterback. But I don't want to go too much on a rabbit trail here. Phil will keep recapping these.
Speaker 3:I think the main thing is I want to make sure that I'm not coming in super late, can you guys?
Speaker 2:hear me in my backup. You're good, you're good.
Speaker 3:Okay, cool, cool, cool. All right, cool, moving on here. Jordan, you had a. I don't think let's. Let's go with your win here. Let's go with your sit.
Speaker 4:Damian Pierce yeah, I think he had like four, four fantasy points. I mean I think he kind of had some carries by the goal line so I could have gotten, I could have gotten hurt here, but I mean it. It Saints run defense is really good. So I'm not. I'm glad that one hit because, to be honest, that was one that I felt most confident in. There was a point in game point at the time of that game where I was a little worried just cause they were getting some like PIs in the, in the, in the end zone and like the ball is at the one, and I think he got stuffed every time. So yeah, it's, it's a I just don't like. Again I'm not going to pick on these really good run defenses. It's not worth it.
Speaker 2:I agree with you there. Like it's not worth it yeah.
Speaker 4:I, I I yeah, unless it's one of those studs that you have to just play them, right? Yes?
Speaker 3:I would agree with you there. I mean, yeah, I would definitely agree. The train you mentioned something a little bit about Zach Wilson. Like these you, I know we're going back, we're back pedaling a little bit here, but like in terms of just talking about quarterback play, one of the things that I wanted to bring up is like everyone's going bad on Brock Purdy for one week that he struggles, and like everyone's going to come back like all this week we're going to have to hear about a system quarterback and all this stuff. But like I don't know, do you get what I'm saying? Like Jordan's been saying that for the last week. How how much is that going to be brought up this week with Brock Purdy's play today?
Speaker 2:I. So one thing I did read on Twitter was a guy said that uh, it was really windy in Cleveland and uh, I think it was Brock Purdy's like first game he played in where the weather wasn't great. Plus, he lost guys. I don't know, Like, maybe his hands are I don't know if hand size comes in, I don't even know the size of his hands If I'm, if I'm being completely honest but just playing in like you know, rougher weather conditions. Maybe it was just a little different to him. He didn't have a CMC. I would say that's the biggest takeaway. Debo Samuel got hurt, so I would say it's his weapons and just, uh, that defense is tough. The Browns defense is really good. They're really physical. They kind of say what you want about Brock Purdy? He didn't play very good, had a really bad fantasy game. He did get them in position on the last drive of the game to win the game. The kicker just missed the field goal. It was much as I want to make fun of the 49ers and all this stuff, Brock Purdy did do all he needed to do to win that game.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean the only thing. I think the probably his biggest fault was he did he have back to back um penalties for grounding?
Speaker 2:I did not see that.
Speaker 4:I didn't see he also fumbled the ball. I think it was on the same drive he had two or they.
Speaker 3:Maybe they wanted to call on. He had close to two grounding penalties in one drive. It was pretty rough.
Speaker 2:He had. He had an interception and he had a fumble. He went 12 for 27, 125 yards, one TD. Honestly, I got the notification in church that Christian McCaffrey just caught a touchdown pass for his 15th straight TD and I was like, oh, the Niners are going to roll, McCaffrey is going to have a good game. He basically got all his fantasy points like on the first two drives of the game.
Speaker 4:The Browns defense is good. And then, but I did, weren't they driving? And he fumbled to put them out of field goal range at the end of the half, so they had to putt yeah.
Speaker 2:Some really bad game management today on before half stuff. You had the Giants not spike the spike the ball with time expiring right before half that they maybe could have beat the bills, and you had the 49ers. That's not even clock management, that's just a fumble right. So totally different. But, yeah, yeah. I mean I think the system quarterback thing will know more. Like if CMC doesn't play this week and if and if a D-Bo doesn't play next week, I think we'll be able to say like, hey, is the system quarterback or not? But I still think it's a little too soon, but speaking of, completely agree.
Speaker 3:All these injuries.
Speaker 2:I have a waiver wire pod coming out on Tuesday morning. You won't want to miss that. And just this recap here. Guys, brought to you by sleeper, sleepers, our favorite place play fantasy football. Guys, take your league to sleeper, you won't be sorry. I've also got some fun plays you can do and if guys get hurt, they void them, like all the David Montgomery plays today got voided because the guy got hurt. You know, it's just a company with integrity, we trust them. Interdudes 100 and they will match you up to $100, guys. So go over, take your league over to sleeper, you won't be sorry, I promise.
Speaker 3:Yes. Yeah the Niners oh go ahead, jordan Go ahead.
Speaker 4:No, I just want to add to that because so I had an eight man sleeper play All in the Oregon Washington game on Saturday. One of those was Jaylin McMillan. Jaylin McMillan played three snaps on the first drive. They never played again and so I was waiting for the void. They had voided Brock Bowers that and I was like waiting for it. It was like a $5 play would have won like 300 something dollars, whatever. So they're okay, they'll void it Seven man, whatever. And it will be like okay, whatever. So they never avoided it. They paid it out A loser. So I emailed them and said hey, like just curious why Jaylin McMillan didn't get avoided you guys avoided Brock Bowers and he played half the game. Jaylin McMillan played three snaps. Well, this morning I looked into my account. They credit me the. They went in there, they changed it and credited me my win.
Speaker 3:So let's pop it up, let's pop it up.
Speaker 4:Integrity, that's pretty cool, like sleeper you know, like good customer service doing the right thing, you know, and so I was. I was pretty happy with that.
Speaker 5:Working for the little guys. It makes sense because they made a precedent. Yeah, they made a precedent with Brock Bowers, so it makes sense they should follow that precedent. If they didn't, I would have understood, but they you know that precedent.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, no, it's just good, you know customer service.
Speaker 2:Here's the thing with sleeper. I like about him I've had a problem. I've tweeted at him before and they're like, hey, we'll consider that you know what I'm saying. Like they really care about. Like hey, what do you want your fancy league to have? People tweet at them and they take those ideas and they either put them in or they don't. So, but sleeper is really good. I can't say enough good things about sleeper. They're really good. So go check that out.
Speaker 5:You should really have every single one of your leagues on there. Absolutely, it's awesome.
Speaker 2:I have one league not on there. It's from that four letter word companies app and I hate it. But anyways, Phil, what do we got next?
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, we're. I was going to stick actually in the in the Niner Browns game. Jordan, do you want to talk about your sit? I think you were. I mean, this one, this one was kind of a rough one for you. You want to talk about?
Speaker 4:a what he.
Speaker 3:Into that 13, but he didn't have a touchdown. He did have over a hundred yards, though. That's the. That's, I think, what killed you. He had four research.
Speaker 2:Oh, 108, you had a really nice catch, I just yeah, you know.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, I Think he had a 50 yard, a 50 yard year 58 yard catch and run and then a 28 yard leaping catch. So I I just got beat by the big play. If you take away his big play, he's what? Three, four, sixty and he's back at like eight. So the big play, couple, two big plays cost me. He got the bonus he. So yeah, I was wrong, but I don't think the like the process was bad here. I just know a little bit unlucky. Unlucky. Yeah, I mean honestly, I would do that all over again if he told me that PJ Walker was starting.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, I think you're right there. I think you're right there.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I just got one over the Connor one.
Speaker 3:I would give you this one over the O'Connor, over the Connor one.
Speaker 4:I'll take that.
Speaker 2:What did Walker finish with? Like he kind of had a rough game. Walker had five fancy points. Mac Jones had a really bad game. That's trouble over there in New England. I will say Mac Jones did throw like a 40 yard bomb at the end of the game and the guy just Parker, just dropped it right in his hands like that could have totally changed the game and maybe the Patriots win that one.
Speaker 4:But Looks like how bad are the Raiders? How bad are the Raiders to?
Speaker 5:I don't know how do you not force feed Devontae Adams? I Don't Like, I don't care if they're double teaming him.
Speaker 4:Make him run its five yard Michael, michael mayor, michael mayor season. Yeah, Devontae you have Michael mayor man you got, I think.
Speaker 5:Daniels wants to get fired. To be honest with you.
Speaker 2:He was yeah, Belichick wants him back. I.
Speaker 4:Will say man, I, jimmy G, is actually like so much of an upgrade over Brian Hoyer. Why was a no-connel not? Why would you start a no-connel in a game and then? Not have you back at going forward. It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 5:I don't even think he did like that Terrible, like in the game you played in, like it's like a rookie quarterback. I don't understand, like.
Speaker 4:So basically you just want Brian Horder be a backup, like I don't, if he does that much better with the clipboard in the, in the and the head, like the Phones, like I don't understand.
Speaker 2:Like I bet O'Connell's the QB this week, I bet Hoyer's the backup.
Speaker 4:Yeah, if Jimmy G's hurt, they're gonna start O'Connell again. I would imagine. I just Like I don't understand why you would start him and I haven't be the backup doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2:Hoyer's 38. It's been in the league for a while, yeah. So, but it seems all right seems like a lot of guys had really rough fantasy days today, like just looking at some of my leagues I'm in with. I guess we can get to the who hurt me section. We can talk about that a little bit more, how we did it.
Speaker 3:But well, I want to. I would actually I wish we had this, that this is a stat that I wish sleeper had. Like how many league, how many, how many teams went under a hundred let's call it 115 points this week. It's you know what I'm saying like, yeah, a lot there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's hard to do with all the different scoring settings, but like, yeah, I have a win With under a hundred points.
Speaker 5:Happy PR and standard. Happy PR brutal to seek.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah yeah, it's a please forgive our audio. I don't know what's going on here. Maybe it's our internet in the central Valley, that's. That's going wild here, but we're we're struggling. Maybe it's just me again, but I had had you guys breaking up there, trent. Let's talk about the Panthers running backs. What a group of running backs that didn't struggle as much today. Was was one of your sits, unfortunately. Yeah.
Speaker 2:This was one of those where I put in Miles Sanders as my sit and then I realized he wasn't playing, so I pivoted to just the whole Backfield. And was it Chuba Hubbard? Is that who the backup was? I believe.
Speaker 3:Chuba was yeah, he had he had.
Speaker 2:Chuba went off and he had 19 attempts, 88 rushing yards and One TD on the ground. Yeah, just looked really good. I there's some weird plays in the Panthers, like Chuba was a solid play today I believe he was on the week Solid running back play by Chuba. He was running back seven. And then you go to the wide receiver spot and Adam Thielen was wide receiver four. So they are. They are putting up fantasy points even though Bryce young isn't really Delivering that much. I would say, like, how many points did Bryce young have, bryce young? Where's Bryce young? I Can't see Bryce young's fantasy points at the moment. But yeah, they, the Panthers, are having some solid Fantasy players. Bryson was QB 15 on the week with 12 fantasy points. So Crazy that they had to. You know they're RB one and wide receiver one on that team. So I Don't know if that was all Garbage time with Adam Thielen. I did not watch the game too much.
Speaker 4:It was not garbage time yeah. The Elans was, I assume Chubas was it no, so they were up 14-0 in that game.
Speaker 1:Okay, mm-hmm With the most the record of the score and Adam Thielen scored and the dolphins just erupted.
Speaker 4:Yeah, after that.
Speaker 3:The one thing that I'd also wonder is just the betting odds, like if they're Thursday night, football games goes Significantly under. Do the rest of the games go under? Like it almost sets the tone, like when the Thursday night game is Absolutely garbage usually, that that weekend slate is also absolutely garbage, and I'm not sure why I think every Thursday night games Gone under though Seth, I mean Phil.
Speaker 4:Yeah yeah, but not, not.
Speaker 3:I don't think to that level of how bad that was. This was. Just it was a His story.
Speaker 2:I'm saying, though, jordan, no, but historically, thursday night games are really bad. But I kind of do see what you're saying, phil. I don't know if there's a correlation to that. I don't there's not hope, but here's a Thursday night games are not good games.
Speaker 4:To have fantasy players is so Week 1, 41 total points had to go under in that game lines chiefs. Week 2, though, the game was 34 28. That was that crazy Eagles Vikings game.
Speaker 2:That was a good game.
Speaker 4:Yeah. Yeah that was a good game. Then you got 30, 12 Niners, giants, 34, 20 lines Packers that was a game. 40, 20 Bears, commanders. Honestly, the Thursday night games haven't been that bad this year.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's right number. Three times this pod so far. So I'm saying it just sets the week, it sets up the weekend slate for just being an absolute nightmare, but anyhow, we can move on from that.
Speaker 2:I think that art bad guys are these a man skate boxers I'm wearing right now. You guys all have a couple pairs of those, so head over to man same. They really help you out, guys.

Speaker 3:Seth, I'm gonna read, I'm gonna rip off the band aid here. We talked a little bit about the the Jets game earlier and I didn't give you an opportunity to talk. You want to. You want to go to a breeze hall here?
Speaker 5:Yeah. So the game was looking pretty good for me and I guess what really hurt is the game script went completely opposite, like the Eagles Score two touchdowns in the first quarter and then didn't do absolutely squat after. That hurts, throwing three picks. Also set up the breeze hall touchdown, but the touchdown was kind of funny because the I think Robert say that was pretty mad. That breeze Hall scored because the Because the Eagles let him score so they could get time to go down and score their touchdown. So he ran the ball hard and they all just stepped the side and he just ran in and it was funny because he came back out of the end zone talking a bunch of smack as they're going for two and they're like bro, we let you run in so we have more time. So it was really funny. It was really funny to see that. So that touchdown like I mean I guess like that hurts me, you know, like it's a eight yard or eight point play, but I don't think he Like I don't know, they gave him the touchdown and like outside of that he had 39 rushing yards. But I guess the common thing that I really miss is when running backs play the Eagles, they always have a good receiving game, like always running backs of good receiving games against the Eagles. That's something to consider. So if it's a good receiving, like running back. Even breeze Hall hasn't had a good receiving year, but this game he tore it up and that's what actually really hurt me. So yeah, I'll take the yellow, that one. I just thought the touchdown they let him score was funny and he especially if he was talking smack after and they're like bro, we let you score. Yeah, that was funny.
Speaker 2:Well, this is actually the first time the Eagles have lost to the Jets, believe it or not, and the whole history of the NFL. Crazy Eagles. This was a weird game too, like the Jets just.
Speaker 5:Hurts made some really bad throws. He means the picks were bad. Two of them were really bad, three, three, the third, the third one I think it was a tip ball, but but no, but especially since the jets had no starting corners in the game and he goes out there and throws three picks.
Speaker 2:You know if this is.
Speaker 1:Dak.
Speaker 2:Prescott, this would be. You know, non-stop talk the whole media to go crazy, but Jalen Hurts can do no wrong. So we'll see. It's true, but we'll see most people who go to a Super Bowl and don't win. Do you know how many of them go back?
Speaker 4:Well, you have to go back to finish the rest of your stat and you have to go there first, to go back.
Speaker 2:So it's true, but what I'm telling you is guys who go to Super Bowls and lose usually don't ever go back.
Speaker 4:Well, at least.
Speaker 2:That's okay, but he has just me rings.
Speaker 4:As you know, a lot of quarterbacks in the suit in said you know, you know, peyton Manning won a Super Bowl before he lost in the Super Bowl, right.
Speaker 5:No, I know, I'm just saying he. He went back in one to yeah but usually guys who go first?
Speaker 2:and lose.
Speaker 4:Oh, you were a bat for countering Trent's argument with yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I was countering it, saying like yeah, I'm not saying Jalen Hurts is Peyton Manning, but I also think Jalen Hurts is a good quarterback and he's full of bad quarterbacks.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, I know I I don't know, I'm just saying like I don't think there's a bad game, there's bad play and it's their first
Speaker 5:loss this season, but the fact that, yeah, I just gonna happen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, if Dak went out there and threw three picks to a team that had two corners that weren't starting, it wouldn't be a big deal, it'd be huge through three picks against the best defense in the league, not to you know, practice squad corners like come on, that's a big deal, the jet train.
Speaker 4:The jets are a top five defense in the league.
Speaker 2:What do they? Are but they're two best corners. Didn't even play.
Speaker 4:Maybe they're that. That's how good they are. The two best corners don't play, and they still force three interceptions.
Speaker 2:I'm just telling you the narrative, jordan. That's all I'm telling you is what it would be.
Speaker 4:It's not like he went through three picks, the to like the Chicago Bears or the Denver Broncos. The Jets are what it's worth.
Speaker 5:I think a lot of people are saying Jalen Hertz had a really bad game and Dak has had a proven history of having a lot of bad games.
Speaker 2:Let me just read. Let me just read everything here of the last three quarterbacks that have played Josh Allen versus the Jets through one TD, three interceptions. Jalen Hertz versus the Jets one TD, three interceptions. Dad Prescott versus the jet two TD, zero interceptions. So just, he's a jet killer. That's all I'm gonna say. I don't know if I want a Super Bowl, but he can, you know, play good games against the Jets. Jalen Hertz was QB one on the week, though this week or, yeah, he was on this week he is QB one with the three picks.
Speaker 4:Trent, we don't need another Phil Russell Wilson. Situation on this pod.
Speaker 5:I'm just like there's statistical backup, though is all I'm saying you literally said last week I think it's time to move on.
Speaker 2:But then I saw all this then I saw everybody in the NFC East lose and I'm ready to be heard again, you know. So maybe this is the chance where you know, within a game.
Speaker 4:Hey when the Eagles are down, I will.
Speaker 2:When the Eagles are down, it is glorious and I will go after them. Okay, cuz they all go after me. You know me Eagles fans. I text today zero because I don't stoop that level, but that yeah, eagles fans are down bad and it's cool. You know you lost the Jets. The first time ever in the history of your franchise, they have Zach Wilson playing quarterback in two backup corners.
Speaker 4:I think it's kind of a pathetic story, trent it's almost like Dak didn't lose the Cardinals two weeks ago.
Speaker 2:He did, did he throw three picks?
Speaker 4:Does it matter? They let them. So that's what matters is it's okay he loses Jordan, that's Jordan.
Speaker 2:That's all I'm saying is the narrative is when Dak does stuff, it's magnified by 10, but when Jalen Hertz does it, it's like no one even cares, because never mind, because he went to a Super Bowl and won nothing, just like all of us on this, no, you're right, because he's actually good at football, dak isn't.
Speaker 5:Okay, whatever, you got a point.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just read you all right struggles versus the Jets. That's all but okay, I.
Speaker 3:Will I? We can move on here. No, we. Do you after that, just like a a in a breath ending to an argument? Do we want to talk about Calvin Ridley Jordan, or is that? I just don't want to get yelled at here.
Speaker 4:No man, this is tough. He hurt me in a lot different, different like.
Speaker 1:Way I.
Speaker 4:Was gonna say ways, but I thought better of that. I. Do you really make that comment right now? Let's see here what did it really? I wanted to see how many targets he got and I have it right here. Okay, he had eight targets. Only four catches 30 yards. I know one of the targets is a deep ball. He's been drawing some pi's. I think he draws like a pi Every single week. So like, yes, I'll take the L. He did not perform. But like we were talking pre-show with Trent, is that Like Trent tweeted out like guys he regrets drafting and I just I don't know if I agree with that just because One he got game scripted out of this game. Jaguars were up 20, 20 like zero in this game early on, so Didn't have throw the ball. But to like the Jaguars, just a really good offense starting to click a little bit and he's like the 1a, and one like he's the 1a in that offense and Sometimes that they just don't need to use them. I still think in close competitive games he's going to be the guy that Trevor Lord once gets the ball to and who he trusts. But I think I need to seem to be smarter about the games you use him in, I guess, is what I would say like, because I think there's gonna be big games still coming and I think. But I do think Travis etn, he's taking a jump in the offense this year. I think that is also hurting Ridley. He's have a lot of pieces and say Jones out today too. So it's a lot of pieces in that offense where it's not condensed around one guy like, say, jamar Chase in the Bengals, devonta adds in the Raiders, where it's like three guys, even like AJ Brown, like Tyree, like there's just multiple guys that look for the ball to and they're running game that they use quite a bit and they're not quite as explosive as like the Dolphins. So it's not quite the Dolphin situation.
Speaker 3:Yeah it's, you're gonna say something there, trent.
Speaker 2:No, it's. I Like I was pretty frustrated about Calvin Ridley. Then I saw the target percentage and stuff and it just it just didn't happen today. But unfortunately I have a lot of Calvin Ridley and that's the only reason it hurt right in in six, six games.
Speaker 4:He has seven or more targets in five of the six and the only one he only. The London game was the only one he had two targets. Yeah, every other game, but that it's. He's getting the target share.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's wide receiver 20 on the year. But the problem is is you kind of had to read by the time draft time came around. You kind of had to reach on him a little bit. You wanted, you had to yeah, that's where it hurts, You're right if you would have left him alone and maybe got him around later than what you got him, you probably are pretty happy with it. I don't know if you would have got him if you would have waited for that round, though you kind of the time drafts happened he was going, you know, maybe around too early. There's going around three I think on average yeah.
Speaker 4:The guys who got value on Ridley were the guys who were doing best ball drafts in July Before training camp started, and they were getting them like the fifth six round. That's where you got the value on Calvin Ridley Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, speaking of a game script, just not going your way, man, the, the Vikings. I keep wanting to say that they're gonna be a, they're a decent team that are just playing the best of the best, and then they go out and beat the Bears 19 to 13. It was just kind of an ugly one, seth without Justin Fields without Justin Jefferson and Without Justin, justin, justin's. Correct. Yeah, I get what you're saying, but also without Justin Jefferson, but it just it ended up just not working out for you, seth, like I actually thought this was a great start here.
Speaker 5:Yeah, like I, I think I got built. Yeah, I got billed out by by the touchdown.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm, it's not my things not loading for how many targets he had he had five targets, which was down four from last week when Justin Jefferson was playing, which is yeah, I think you'd actually get more.
Speaker 5:But I think who actually Benefits the most from from Justin Jefferson being out is TJ Hawkinson. He had most the targets. Even KJ Osborne was more efficient with his, his catches, but I did say he would get a touchdown and he did so. I think I was pretty spot on there, but that's what bailed me out. I think with 11 points so I mean, like Usually out of a start you'd probably want more, like the 15 range. That's what I'd probably call a win, because I think that's what I said he would probably get at least, and he just didn't have the yards. So, and I don't even I don't even know if Kirk Cousins even had that kind of a game, so but yeah, I'll take the yell there. But I think even like next week, he has a chance of being good too. But he should have performed against the Bears, which were, who are a bad team. I just don't think the Vikings are good and I Trent was talking about how Jordan's clip of talking about Justin Jefferson Maybe not coming back, like I think that's a very real possibility. Even the report that said this week, it said hey, it could be four to six weeks, and I think, with the IR thing. If you keep them on another stint, right, it's eight weeks so, and eight weeks is a long time and that's many, it's most of the season. And if you draft to Jeff, draft the Justin Jefferson, he's out eight weeks of the season. You probably ain't going anywhere.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. Unless you're like undefeated right now, you might even squeak in the best play and that. Vikings Bears game was and this could be different from league to league, but in the leagues I was in, the Vikings defense got 21 fantasy points. They had two picks, 13 points allowed, five sacks, two-force fumbles, a fumble recovery and a TD. So Vikings defense was the play. I honestly didn't think that would be the case. I was hoping, like I was kind of excited for DJ more this week, like I always am, but I think well, it's just doesn't get hurt.
Speaker 5:Dj more gets there, he gets his, his yard is prop.
Speaker 2:He didn't his mind today no.
Speaker 3:And the Vikings are the Vikings defense was 10% rostered and 8% started, so it helps literally absolutely no one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you had a couple Vikings truthers that maybe played him like yeah, they're kind of feast or famine this year in fantasy. They had 17 points versus Carolina than 21 versus Chicago. They're playing the 49ers this week, so I imagine that's probably a good game that people will be like we don't know if Brock Pernies a system quarterback or not playing the Vikings right.
Speaker 5:So he's gonna just I think he's just gonna tear him up.
Speaker 2:So, Adam.
Speaker 4:Shepter. What did Adam Shepter tweet about Justin Jefferson? Did he say something like Kind of what I said, that he wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play? I have a deal, let me look I think what that I?
Speaker 2:Saw something saying that they were doing.
Speaker 5:They're gonna do testing after the four weeks and then see what it was, but I think someone said it's like the injury might be like four to six weeks.
Speaker 3:Yeah, all he said is doctors believe Justin Jefferson Hamstring injury will sideline them in a set of Vikings four to six weeks and all pro riders. He will undergo imaging testing for four in four weeks to help determine when he can return.
Speaker 5:Okay, and like an image testing, if the Vikings lose these next four weeks, like what's in it for him to come back. I don't know, like oh.
Speaker 4:So this is what one part of the article that it's, he said. They said Well silent, the Vikings star for, oh, kevin O'Connell Twitter reporters last week he did not expect Jefferson to miss the rest season, but Minnesota needs to help itself in the standings to ensure he will return.
Speaker 2:Well like that just yeah, like I know you make fun of it, but like people were like going off on that, take on tick tock, jordan, it got a lot of views. People were just saying, oh really, people like he, they're saying he's gonna come back, you know. And then the news came out. But yeah, that one did pretty good on tick tock for you know just so, jordan Stop you know, take a break from.
Speaker 3:Take a take a break from doing your tick tock dances and look at our pod profile every once in a while.
Speaker 2:We would have had twerking in. There would have been even bigger. But what do we got? Next fell.
Speaker 3:That's all people think of you know, when they think a tick tock, you're an odd guy, you're an odd guy.
Speaker 5:I don't know if that's what it is, but I'm not sure what your tick tock recommended is we know what you think of, though anything.
Speaker 4:A tick tock. I.
Speaker 2:Don't know, people think it's a guy, that stuff right, but you are dancing is twerking, that's how you.
Speaker 4:yeah, that's working not dancing?
Speaker 2:I don't know. I guess you learn something every day. My bad.
Speaker 4:It is, but most people don't think of twerking when they say dancing, you do, though but if you would have been twerking in that video, it would have went bigger.
Speaker 2:Can we all agree with that? That's an absolute fact.
Speaker 4:I probably not wrong there either.
Speaker 5:Jordan get up the table. No, I'm just king, keep going oh, next time Jordan makes his under his sleeper pics, he's gonna be dancing yeah, yeah yes hopefully it's just a YMCA.
Speaker 3:All right, let's move on to. It's fun to stay at the. Give it to me Jordan. Come on, ymca, hey, all right, moving on, lee. I think we got James Cook and then maybe one more start. We have Jordan start. And did we go? Do we talk about Jay? I guess we just we missed Jaleel McLaughlin, james Cook and the MacCardo. On Jordan start, you just go ahead and rapid fire these. We're getting to the tail end of this pod, jordan. We can even just skip over that one if you, if I could be quite honestly, you, mark Otto the McCardo one's hard.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was wrong he sucks I.
Speaker 4:I should have listened to that news more about. Ingram and I really should have listened to the news when they signed Damien Williams. So yeah, whatever I was wrong, it is what it is. I'll take the L like it was just a miss by me, huge miss.
Speaker 5:I thought I understand why you'd use a practice squad guy when a guy who literally played most of the snacks last week you didn't use him like.
Speaker 4:It doesn't make sense to me basically his role like didn't change at all, and they were not down in that game until like the fourth quarter, so that didn't help it's.
Speaker 2:It's weird, though, jordan, because demarcado snaps today he did lead the Cardinals and snaps. He had 33 snaps, ingram had 26 and Damien Williams had 12, so Andy Mercado ran 24 routes to Ingram's 11, though honestly, I feel bad for you with this pick, jordan. The guys. I feel bad for the guys who dumped all their fab on demarcado yeah, you know. I mean, this is oh man, this is a huge kick in the tail, if you know what I'm saying. Like you jump all that fab. When you drop that fab, you play the guy, then he ends up, you know, giving you a complete you know goose egg basically basically at least four men.
Speaker 4:At least four men was like involved, demarcado was just not involved exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2:I don't know what's worse playing demarcado or this mustache I have.
Speaker 3:But what you want to go. They're both painful to watch this week that's probably what I have, james.
Speaker 2:Cook, this was Jalil McCauphin yeah, mccauphin, like that just was you know a bad, but hopefully didn't play him on Thursday football. James Cook was weird because the bills just didn't get going. That whole game like it was game there was fighting. I will say Latavius Murray looks pretty good when he's in there. He's kind of like a you know poor man's Frank Gore at this point in his career. But Latavius Murray had 12 carries for 45 yards. James Cook had 14 for 71, so like he was productive. But I didn't think he would get the touchdown. He's not the touchdown guy. I was just expecting that he might have a hundred yards and a couple passes caught. He didn't catch any passes and he didn't get. You know, didn't get the yards. I just think Buffalo just didn't. They weren't in sync the whole game. I don't really know if you're really happy if you played anyone on the bills tonight, like what a digs had some big catches but digs didn't. Digs had 15 points, 16 targets for 10 receptions, 100 yards, 15 point they forced them at the end of the game. Yeah, but even like Gabe Davis finally had a game where he didn't score a touchdown, you know. So his one, two, three, four game TD streak has come to an end. And then, yeah, basically digs was the only guy you were happy you played. You weren't even happy if you played Josh Allen, so he did get you some point. He got you a TD right in the game. Maybe you're happy in DFS if you played that one tied in who had his very first career catch for a touchdown Jordan.
Speaker 4:I didn't.
Speaker 2:I'd honestly hardy, though, oh it was hardy the guy who caught the TD, is he not?
Speaker 4:tied in. They both got touchdowns.
Speaker 2:They both got touchdowns hardy and quit and more yeah but just a weird Sunday night it was a good game, I'll give him that part of me was kind of thinking maybe Brian Debo kind of knows the bills weaknesses and maybe he used that like maybe he knew some tendencies and stuff to go after for the Giants. That that was something that literally hit me like halfway through the third quarter was, hey, this is old team, maybe he knows how to attack these guys. You know, maybe he knows Allen's weaknesses, maybe some audibles, I don't know. But yeah, do we want to get into our who hurt you segment of the show guys?
Speaker 3:yeah, so I feel like I was not hurt by anyone, but I'll uh he just was anyone, just you know drastically hurt that they want to talk about first.
Speaker 2:Kurt Cousins. I think heard a lot of teams like he. Just, it was a good matchup and they couldn't move the ball. Guys who've hurt me the most this week, though? In the last couple weeks, devonta Smith is absolutely crushing one of my fancy football teams. You know, you spent a good value, you spent equity on him and Devonta Smith. Like I said earlier, this was a game. Maybe this is why I was more mad to Devonta. Like no starting corners, and Devonta Smith finishes today's game with 11 targets, 5 receptions for 44 yards. So the targets were there. He dropped a really big pass at the end of the game. Also, he did lead the team in targets, but we just we need a little bit more of this guy. He hasn't scored a touchdown since week two, so I don't know if you guys have Devonta Smith on any of your teams this year yeah, I got, I lost my two and it's one league and I had Devonta on the team.
Speaker 4:But uh, guys who hurt me, I kind of mentioned, you know, calvin Ridley, kind of you know I had a ton of them in DFS on DraftKings. I had a lot, had a lot of his. I had his touchdown prop and I had. So I had some plays does any time, touchdown on sleeper, and then I had a couple like bigger plays with his. It was the only prop that didn't hit was the four and a half reception. So he hurt me. And then Jamar Chase also kind of hurt me. I have him on one of my main season long teams and I had a bunch of him and Walker correlation like secondary stacks on DraftKings and I had his yardage prop on sleeper. So I'm our chase. Probably Calvin Ridley are probably two of the guys who hurt me the most and I think I've said really like three out of six weeks on the segment.
Speaker 2:So I had. I had three. I had three sleeper plays today that were all one pick away from make, from cashing. One was I needed. Who was it? So? I had Jamar Chase over 72 and a half receiving yards. He had 80. I jacoby Myers over four and a half receiving yards. I should have made jacoby Myers my start of the week. I scratch that for James Cook or a half receiving yard four and a half reception no, four and a half receptions, yeah and then I had Josh Downs for over three and a half receptions, and then I threw Calvin Ridley in there for over four and a half receptions and he had four yeah, and then. I had Raheem Mostert for over 77 and a half rushing yards, dj Moore over 45 and a half receiving yards. He hit that James got lucky on that James Cook over 58 and a half rushing yards.
Speaker 4:He hit that and I had Kurt Cousins over one and a half passing TDs, so Kurt Cousins killed me there yeah, and honestly, that whole game I could add that whole game to the segment two for me, like I had, though I had a lot of Addison, a lot of like Osborne and GFS and a lot of fields like that whole game just was a very underwhelming yeah.
Speaker 2:And then I had Gabe Davis over two and a half receptions. He had three. James Cook again on the rushing line. And then I had Josh Allen over 264 passing yards he did not get that. And I had Tony Pollard over 68 and a half rushing yards from a night football, which has not happened yet, but yeah, so I had four. I had three different plays that were all pick away and all the picks were different. Normally. Normally it's all the same one, but they were all different and they all were, like, you know, 99% hit rate. You know, so just got to quit hitting those multipliers. Seth, did you have anyone, that's you know, killing your teams? Is it? Justin Jefferson?
Speaker 5:I know you have a lot of Jefferson yeah, I guess it's like if I man, if I have Jefferson in my dynasty, I think I sweep it again this year. I won last year. It really hurts that you might not play again this year. Seems like there's a chance he's not play here. He does come back, but not for a while. I think I might squeak by until he comes back, which is like good. But, like you said I made, I had some picks to add, about like three picks I think that were one guy away and they were all five man's Kirk Cousins was one, dj Moore was one to Trent and then I had Devonte Adams. I think he's like five and a half reception line and I'm like they're gonna force feed him, regardless of its garoppolo or whoever's in there. And they threw him the ball twice and I'm just like the Raiders, you're bad, throw the ball to your best player and they don't. So I don't know. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I think a lot of guys like Justin Fields is someone that's hurt them because he finally bounces back. Now he hurts his thumb and he's not. I don't know like how long he's out, but if you have Justin Fields on your team, you probably haven't won that many fantasy games and now he has this killer matchup that he should crush and he doesn't get to finish the game and I don't know how long he's out or timetable on that. But I got a lot of responses about Derek Henry was a guy that like honestly he had a good game because he had that huge run, but he's he only had like two more snaps. And Tajie Spears and then David Montgomery probably hurts your team yeah. I don't know if there's anyone else worth mentioning there. There's, I'm sure there's people screaming of stuff that you know?
Speaker 3:can I say college football? Can I just say that Notre Dame I don't know if it's Notre Dame or SC, whichever one would be the one who hurt me but I just can't stand that no USC lost Notre Dame. Can I, can I claim that one?
Speaker 2:sure, when I can claim, you can claim that. Yeah, sorry about that.
Speaker 4:I thought are you a USC or Texas fan? I can't even tell anymore.
Speaker 3:I, I think the lines are so blurred it's not even, it's just like basically it was a really rough old-time rough two weeks for you feel rough to rough to rivalry games weeks and also like I can't stand more than any other team. I actually dislike Notre Dame more than I dislike Oklahoma. I just, for whatever reason, ever since I was a kid just could not stand Notre Dame, even the rooting movies now, just couldn't stand them here's the thing it's Marja. Where's a marja? You took some margin one of our college football there.
Speaker 2:Texas fans, texas rival feels a Texas and USC fans. That's it. That's like a dying breed, like they also should make a documentary life is a blurry line like he doesn't know where he is on anything he doesn't know his address divas of the week. What do you? What do you guys? I was the one who said it. What do you guys have here for divas of the week? Anyone have anything? Well, what are you honest?
Speaker 4:divas are hard during football season.
Speaker 2:Even so hard I've been saving them for my waiver show that I've been doing every week. I have some kind of, I got one. I throw in there. What do you got, seth?
Speaker 5:I'm just gonna take a shot at my own team here. Me and Phil are kind of agree on this one. Dk Metcalfe man, get off your high horse or whatever it is, man like geez like what is the thing you do? the team. I don't know, like I really don't know what the guys had to go through. The guys had, like Phil said, this guy's like a literal freak and could be one of the best players in the league, and also I don't think it helps that he's like just Gino throwing to him, but also like who wants him. If he's gonna get you a 15-yard penalty every game or a 30-yard penalty I don't know, because he does too or he's gonna get kicked out or he's gonna fight everybody. I wonder why nobody likes the guy.
Speaker 3:He shoves a guy for no reason yeah, yeah and at this point he's 25 years old, seth, like you, like you can say like his first year of his first year, like as a rookie. Maybe he does that a couple times. You're like, okay, whatever, we'll excuse it. Like this is a history of him doing that. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5:Like every single year there's been some sort of issue like that man, it's like when he's doing it there's still a chance to win is he a stupid player or is he just a dirty player?
Speaker 2:You're saying like just makes both plays.
Speaker 3:I think he, I think it's he lets, he lets the, he lets the momentum of the game control his emotions a little bit and I think he just lashes out at times like it's like, well, I don't know.
Speaker 5:I mean, there's even times where he's having crazy games and he's still stupid. Yeah, I just he's. He's anyways. Like if the guy just had, like a Tyler Lockett brain, like he'd be insane.
Speaker 2:Like you can't just shove guys like that. Like this is his second instance, the instance this season, where he just like tease off on guys, like after the play, like it makes no sense to me, like it's. It's like is he a dirty player or is he just a hothead?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was the answer, Was it?
Speaker 1:Chase.
Speaker 3:Claypool? Who? Who caught that, that, that that ball in the middle of the field and got up and like started dancing before they could, before they could reset it? Was that Claypool? That was Claypool. Yeah, yes, I'll put that, that line of thinking, in the same line of DK, unfortunately. Like it's just, like your team like is counting on you to do something smart here. Don't do the opposite. Like don't do what everyone doesn't want you to do at this point, and then he still does it anyhow. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Usually that's an instance where that happens to like. A guy does that maybe once in his career, but it's his second time this season that he's done something like that and he does it actually multiple times throughout a season.
Speaker 5:He'll probably do it again, Honestly yeah you can't do that.
Speaker 2:Phil, do you have anything? I am, I actually was Trent.
Speaker 3:So I'm, I'm, I am building a little area in my backyard for a fire pit. Okay, and like a little fire area, just like with some some rocks and whatever. Anyhow, I texted a buddy in Trent and asked him if he had a specific tool that I needed for for something that I was using to build it. This guy, this gentleman he's a pod listener Suggested I'm a listener suggests that I get a smokeless fire pit. Smokeless fire pit. And I, just as a just as a guy who's been lighting fires most of my life, like not obviously anything you know, sketchy or criminal, obviously just lighting fire Immediately hurt my brain, that's so.
Speaker 2:Thank you for clarifying.
Speaker 3:I was like oh, there was that fire back at no, I'm just kidding. No, just like just lighting fires. You know lighting bomb fires, like lighting, you know lighting fireworks, like all these different things have like been like smoke is one of those things that you're like yeah, sure, it gets in your eyes every once in a while, but that's part of the whole experience. Like this goes back to the diva that I said last week. Like if you're using a backup, the guy who doesn't, who has a smokeless fire pit, is the same guy who uses a backup cam every time he tries the parallel park. Like the guy who he drives a Honda Ridgeline. Like he he wears he wears Uggs with socks. He he wears flip flops with jeans. Like that's the same type of person to me who's buying a smokeless. It's not Jordan, it's not Jordan Uggs with socks you wear them barefoot. Yeah, dude, be a man, dude.
Speaker 2:I hate Uggs.
Speaker 3:What is it you definitely wear socks with those.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God.
Speaker 4:What.
Speaker 2:You sick animal.
Speaker 3:What is wrong with you? I think the question is what is wrong with you? 99% of people are saying like I want my feet to sit on a cozy bed of wool, not this additional wool layer that's going to basically cause.
Speaker 5:another issue you got swamp feet, you nasty freak.
Speaker 3:Dude you. You don't wear socks with your crocs. That's like 10 times worse.
Speaker 1:I've seen your walks every time you take a step.
Speaker 3:I'm not sure if you're stepping in puddles or not, because there's just water gushing out of them. So to say that you have a problem with me not wearing socks with Uggs, like you need to?
Speaker 2:That seems like a sweaty mess. No, I'm not good. That is not good.
Speaker 3:No, no, you, you, you, you wear socks and realize your.
Speaker 5:Uggs will last longer, you're nasty, sweaty feet aren't touching the wool all the time.
Speaker 3:Hey, hey, not everyone sweats like you, Seth. I have totally fine walking around in my in my dog.
Speaker 5:I've seen you on after a five minute jog when it's 40 degrees outside.
Speaker 3:Anyhow, all that to say, we've got a little off topic. Smokeless fire pits are just the thing of they're not the thing of the future, like they should not be something that exists. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 5:I don't even know how that's real. It's real the thing of the future.
Speaker 3:It should be a thing of the past, starting now.
Speaker 2:I want a smokeless fire pit really bad and if that means Phil doesn't come over whenever I have a fire sounds like a great idea, so please do that, please do that, so I never have to say yes to what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I think we're all going to do.
Speaker 3:I think every time I come over then I have to go to your house, phil.
Speaker 2:we're watching football inside, but the smokeless fire pits going on the backyard too, so you might want to come over to my house for a barbecue?
Speaker 3:Yeah, totally. Can you bring burgers and buns, also chips and condiments? It's like, dude, I was just sitting here. You invited me over to your house. Like, what do you want me to do here, guy?
Speaker 4:It's amazing how much things have changed in one week. Last week's last Sunday he was thanking Trent on the pod for having him over for some hot dogs, and this week he's now saying that he never wants to go back in.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, that I had to bring. I was just trying to be great, and the other thing is Phil is like hey, man, this is a nice spatula.
Speaker 2:I see you have two of them. Mine's like shorter than my arm, can I have one of yours? And just you know. And I'm like no, go buy your own spatula on Amazon or whatever, I don't care, but uh yeah oh man uh Diva of the week.
Speaker 5:I love the Jordan is always on detective mode with Phil.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:I know this guy's freaking Carmen Sandy yeah. Nancy drew over here on the pod Uh seriously you know Christmas times around the corner. I'll save that for Christmas. When someone borrows your car, why are you going? Into an ad read what, no, no, no I have a Diva list from last Christmas that I never got to.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but you went into it like an ad read Christmas is around the corner.
Speaker 2:And why not buy a man's scape for your old man? No, uh, this is I'm going to say socks for your underwear Uh.
Speaker 1:I don't know where to go.
Speaker 2:Plotty's the entry, I think we're, you're doing.
Speaker 3:The problem is that I force.
Speaker 4:I don't really have one.
Speaker 3:I force, I know I don't really feel good about it. I need to stop doing that journey to take a take a page out of your book.
Speaker 2:I'm wondering what things you do that you do feel good about, because that's what concerns me more.
Speaker 3:Oh, not being on this pod 80, 85% of my life. Okay, I think I'm going to be honest, without, without me hosting, you guys would be lost. Just grab this thing up.
Speaker 2:All right, I'm going to just say uh yeah, I got to wrap this thing up. I'm sorry, I wish I had something. But hey, I will be back tomorrow with our waiver wire pod. We'll be back with our sprint. Yeah, I will be back. I'll be back tomorrow. We've a wider pod, don't remember. Don't be rude, share the dudes and we'll have a starts and sits pod on Thursday.
