Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furnace. Welcome to my show. Quinn David Furnace presents the bean town podcast for Saturday, September 2nd, 2023. We are officially two thirds of the way through the year. Plus, what's going on? How are you? My name is Quinn and welcome to this year's fantasy football 2023 preview. If you're not a fantasy football fan and you're reaching for that, you know, pause button on your your podcast app. First and foremost, thank you for listening and making us the 112th ranked comedy podcast in the Great Nation of Pecky Stand. Or if you're listening from Chicago land, or the Northeast, or the Southeast, or the East, generally, or anywhere else, Karachi, Hyderabad, Kuiber Pass.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Thank you for listening, but I promise you, this show is gonna have laughs, it's gonna have heart, and it's gonna be about bringing people together, okay? There's even some word play, some palundrum, some trivia, and out of kindness to everyone here, we're going to keep it high and tight. I'm physicists on the tight. I'm not high. No, no edibles have been consumed during the making of this program. It's about one o'clock p.clock PM on a Saturday.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Rachel's out to lunch with friends and stuff. I went for a run this morning. We made breakfast, played some Beethoven. So now I've got a little bit of time here to just kind of do my stuff, guy stuff. You know, I'm in my man cave here in the living room. And I've got the last of my pipe works beers here. I was freezing it up a little bit chilling it down you freeze
Starting point is 00:01:48 up but you chill down along with my University of Delaware engineering class of what 17 18 there you go and I I poured it in so I had been frosting it up I guess freeze up frost over cool down that sort of thing for about you know 15 20 minutes So nothing too intense, but I I was pouring it in just five minutes ago And I was not even thinking at all. I just completely not paying attention. I just pour it straight down. So Yeah, we were like 80% foam 20 20% beer to start, and it's finally leveling off to now we're closer to about 80 beer, 20% foam. We're going to let it keep doing its thing there. But just a pretty embarrassing moment here.
Starting point is 00:02:38 They'd kicked me out of the brewery if I did that. This great Stein-ish sort of vessel, if you will, Stein-ST-E-I-N and vessel V-E-S-S-E-L. It was courtesy of my late uncle, Tunde, and he just had a million of these floating around his office. And I took one home one day when I lived out on the East Coast and visited him. And so on one side it says, you know, University Delaware Engineering class of 2018 and then on the other side It says so at the top says drink this much to forget dot Dot dot Garage band crapped out there lost a little bit of it up, but then from from top to bottom There's sort of a different level. So I guess top would be the things that are easy to forget and at the bottom would be hard to forget. Although I will say this as a non-engineer and someone who just barely
Starting point is 00:03:29 somehow coasted through a year of AP Physics, I'll say this, I think if I took AP Physics at like a real high school that was not, you know, like great inflated big time and taught by Bible teachers, I think I probably did the equivalent of like B minus work in AP Physics and Got a Na. I mean, it got a three in the AP test, which I think equates to getting like a B minus in class, right? Like, that's the level of knowledge I obtained and had. But from top to bottom, we go, what's a material balance again? I couldn't even tell you. I haven't had a single sip of this yet, and I have no idea. Next is your, it's, it's, it's Cheg 112 grade CHEG 112. Cam, chemical engineering, I guess is probably what that is. I'm not sure. Next is Bernoulli's equation, which I don't actually know what it is, but there's a great reference to Bernoulli's
Starting point is 00:04:23 equation in Spider-Man 2 with Toby McGuire and Alfred Molina are conversing before he becomes Doc. Heat convection is the penultimate one and then fugacity. Let's, you know, let's, before we get into some of this fantasy football stuff where it's gonna be a lot of just kidding around today and joking and not a lot of things that are serious. Let's all take a moment to actually learn something here It's going to be a lot of just kidding around today and joking and not a lot of things that are serious.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Let's all take a moment to actually learn something here on the Bintal podcast and let's learn what fugacity is. First, F-U-G-A-C-I-T-Y. So it looks like Fuga City or Fuga City, but Fugacity I assume is how we're pronouncing it. It is in literary terms the quality of being fleeting or evanescent. However, this is not Delaware Literature Class of 2018.
Starting point is 00:05:11 This is Delaware Engineering Class of 2018. So our chemistry definition of fugacity, a thermodynamic property of a real gas, which if substituted for the pressure or partial pressure in the equations for an ideal gas gives equations applicable to the real gas. Now if you're like me, that meant nothing. I felt like I was following along for the first 50%
Starting point is 00:05:35 and then I just fell off. I'll say this, I'm on sciencedirect.com now and trying to just find like explain like explain, like, I'm five. Actually, let's go back to Google. Let's Google Fugacity, E-L-I-5, which in red it terms is explaining, explaining to me, like, I'm five. Let's see. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Fugacity is a quantity that has to do with how a real gas is different from an ideal gas. I guess it would be helpful to know the difference between a real gas and an ideal gas. But in my mind, I guess what we're talking about is a real gas is something that exists. It's like a thing in nature versus an ideal gas is something in one of your mythical equations. I guess I have no idea. Recall that in describing an ideal gas, actually, let's Google search very quickly what an ideal gas is. Ideal gas laws, the first thing that comes up
Starting point is 00:06:33 on Wikipedia, also the general gas equation, is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas. Yes, so ideal gas is something in our minds. It's not real yet. It's a good approximation of the behavior of many gases under many conditions, although it has several limitations. Okay, first stated in 1834 as a combination of the empirical Boyle's Law, Charles Law, or the Goddard's Law, I know of the Goddard's number in chemistry, and Gay Lusauks Law. The ideal Gay Lus. Wow. The ideal gas law is often written
Starting point is 00:07:09 in empirical fours. Speaking of gay loose ox, listen to your discretion as advised when you're listening to this program. Number one, we'll occasionally use some language. Number two is podcasts objectively terrible. PV equals NRT. Oh, I actually remember learning about that. I think in in chemistry, maybe I'm not sure, but PV equals NRT, where PV and T are the pressure, volume, and temperature respectively. N is the amount of substance. I don't know what the SI unit on, amount of substance would be. And R is the ideal gas constant.
Starting point is 00:07:40 It can also be derived from, okay, yaddy yaddy yaddyadde, yadde, whatever. Okay, so PV equals NRT, there we go. One of the time, I deal gas loss. Long story short, ideal gas is just like trying to approximate how a theoretical or hypothetical gas will act or perform under a certain set of conditions. Okay, so if you gas it is a quantity that has to do with, well, we're really going down here. That has to do with how this is not a fantasy football
Starting point is 00:08:11 special anymore. This is our fugacity special. Recall that and describing an ideal gas, we have to make some assumptions to molecules of the gas cell for long distances before having elastic collisions, obviously, in the experience, no forces between molecules. For many gases, this description is very nearly accurate
Starting point is 00:08:26 and can be used to get good results. But for a lot of applications, you have to consider the consequences of not making these assumptions. Thus, we get to fugacity, which is essentially a measurement of pressure, although it's not directly a measurement of pressure that's helpful. For example, let's say you have a sample gas that has a true mechanical pressure,
Starting point is 00:08:44 the pressure you could measure with a gauge of 100 kilopie, I forget what PA is in chemistry. And if you gas a degree of 95, if you want to measure the force that this gas exerts on its container, you would use its mechanical pressure. However, if you want to look at the rate at which a chemical reaction occurs, which often depends on pressure, then you could either try to use the true pressure in account for all the terrible, terrible math that using a real gas entails, or you could just use the fugacity and pretend that the gas is ideal. The more ideal gas behaves, the closer the ratio of fugacity pressure will be to one. Okay, so that's where we landed on fugacity.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Again, thermodynamic property of a real gas, which is substituted for the pressure, or partial pressure in the equations for an ideal gas gives equations applicable to the real gas. So when we're talking PV equals nRT, if you substitute fugacity for the P, that's basically what we're trying to do here. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:09:44 We're 10 minutes in, and we're trying to do here. So there you go, we're 10 minutes in and we finally got past fugacity. We're talking fantasy football today. I have five kind of points that I want to get through. So we're gonna go through, first our paladrum of the day, then we're gonna talk some fantasy football, say hello to our sponsors and we'll close it out there
Starting point is 00:10:06 Today's pat oh, we also have trivia today's palindrome of the day is noon and O O N And I'll tell you this I was I was disappointed in that palindrome of the day I wanted something football or sports related But I couldn't you know, I was doing all sorts of Google searching brain racking But I couldn't you know, I was doing all sorts of Google searching brain racking RW are a CK I and G and I just couldn't come up with anything so hey if you have a good sports themed palindrome go ahead and send it to us bean town podcast at yahoo.com again, that's bean town B a and T in podcast at yahoo.com and
Starting point is 00:10:47 You can we'll read it live on the air. Simple as that. You can also like and follow us on X, I guess we call it on our Twitter. At White Buns is me personally. At Beentowncast is the show we love to hear from our listeners. I'm on Instagram at q.queenD. We'll get to tripping a little bit here. Let's get started with our fantasy football preview
Starting point is 00:11:08 All right, so coming in at number one on the 2023 fantasy football keys to the game success if you will I'm calling it the key key coupé key couture Once again, that's the keyiki Kiki Kutur. Okay, so we all know Kiki Kutur, right? This guy is a legend. You might have had him on, you know, the Houston Texans, he might have won your league a couple of times. He's bounced around a little bit since then,
Starting point is 00:11:43 but here's the thing. the man is only 26 years old He's currently a free agent. He was in camp this year with the Miami Dolphins didn't make the team got released last week but here's Here guys, let's be real here. We're talking about key key QT in his key couture Yeah, guys, let's be real here. We're talking about key, key, QT in his key, Couture. Your league in the NFL generally is probably going to sway depending on where key, key, QT decides to sign. So when we're talking about some of these stacked wide receiver
Starting point is 00:12:20 rooms, since an adi, you got Jamar Chase, T Higgins, Tyler Boyd. Over there in Seattle, you got DK Metcalf Tyler Lockett, Jackson Smith and Jigba, Minnesota, Jordan Addison, Justin Jefferson, KJOs, Warren T.J. Hockinson. But here's the, oh, of course Miami Dolphins, right? Jalen Waddle, Tyree Cole. But here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Let's take what somewhat considered to be a subpar or average wide receiver room, okay? I'm thinking, you know, someone like the New England Patriots, juju smith Smith Schuster, Jacobi Myers, or an Arizona Cardinals, okay Marquis Hollywood Brown or Greg Dorch, and you know, Anquan Bolton and stuff. Or even someone like the Houston Texans, Nico Collins, and probably someone else. Imagine if you throw Kiki coup tea into the mix. Now you're telling me would you rather have Jalen Waddle and Tyree Kill or Nico Collins and key key coup tea. That's a pretty clear choice to make.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Look, ever since this guy got drafted out of Texas Tech, what was he, first overall pick or something like that? 103rd overall pick. I missed a couple of digits. Ever since then, this guy has been on an absolute tear. Let's see some of these career stats. If you're sitting there thinking, Hmm, Kiki Kutti, I don't really remember that guy.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Or maybe you're thinking, Hmm, Kiki Kutti, this guy absolutely sucks. Years, let's pull back the curtain, okay, like we're in the Wizard of Oz. And I'll share with you some information about our good friend, Kiki Kutie, and what makes his Kiku Tour so valuable. 2018 rookie year starts two games, more than a lot of rookies.
Starting point is 00:14:23 41 targets, 287 yards, one touchdown, and he had three rushing attempts for zero yards. 2019, it gets better. He starts four games, 254 yards. Actually fewer than his rookie season, but that sometimes the shine just wears off. No touchdowns, but he did have a rushing touchdown. Okay, so when you're talking about dual threat players, guy does have a rushing touchdown.
Starting point is 00:15:06 You know who doesn't have a rushing touchdown in his career, probably Brian or Lacker? Okay, so when you want to talk about like Ashelons, ECH, ELO and S, put some respect on Kekekeke's name, okay, 2020 COVID year, right? Everyone affected deeply. What is Kiki do? He has a career season.
Starting point is 00:15:29 He starts four games again. He has 400 yards receiving, okay? That's 100 yards per game he started. Not necessarily in total games, it's more like 50, but still not bad. He has three touchdowns, a new career high for Kiki Kuti. 2021, he goes to Indianapolis, doesn't start a game, but he does catch a pass for five yards.
Starting point is 00:15:56 2022, still in Indianapolis, little bit of a bounce back season, he plays in eight games, catches one pass again. This time for 20 yards. So he multiplies, so just so we're clear here, 2021, and there were zero touchdowns or rushing in times of either of those years. So the rushing is maybe, you know, probably going to be a comeback story, comeback player of the year, potentially, you want those guys in your team. So in 2021 with the Indianapolis Colts, with just trash at quarterback,
Starting point is 00:16:25 probably like Philip Rivers or Carson Wences or something, garbage, five yards. 2022 with Matt Ryan, just an absolute statue, just a shell of himself, right? It's not MVP Matt Ryan, it's guys playing with garbage. 20 yards. So we're on like a Times 4 multiplier track. Imagine not only multiply again by four for this year,
Starting point is 00:16:48 for 80 yards, but imagine if he signs with like a Kansas City chiefs, you add in the Mahomes factor, right? The Mahomes variable. So when we're talking about PV equals NRT and fugacity, Mahomes is like an exponential multiplier, probably cubed or more than that, whatever to the fourth power, whatever a good word for that would be. So I'm thinking instead of ADRs, maybe it's 280,
Starting point is 00:17:14 280Rs. And now imagine the upside for 2024, this doesn't even have to be the 2023 draft special. This could be the 2024 preview as well, in, you know, I retired before the next season, which is not happening. No matter how many people are trying to force me out, okay? 280 this year, I'm thinking Kiki goes for 2018, 2024. I just don't want to have to sit here this time in two years and say I told you so, okay? That's the worst feeling as a podcast. So it's to have to tell your listeners which you would
Starting point is 00:17:58 listen to the bean town podcast. All right, point number two. And when we talk about the bean town podcast and probably the first thing you think of is probably not plain by the rules, right? Revolutionizing the game. Once the bean town podcast gets its hands on something, we are not leaving it the same way it was before, right guys? So the idea of handcuffs In fantasy football, okay not at the not at the precinct Not in the bedroom, but in fantasy football handcuffs refers to owning the player who is behind sort of the star on the depth charter, the starter, right?
Starting point is 00:18:48 So in fantasy football you have great players but you also have great situations for example the 49ers Running Back Room is probably going to produce whether you have Christian McCaffrey in there Jeff Wilson Rahee mostee, most dirt, Frank Gore doesn't really matter. The 49ers running back room is going to produce. The Minnesota Vikings wide receiver room is going to produce, okay?
Starting point is 00:19:15 Handcuffs typically more a running back thing rather than a wide receiver thing. But even like a tight end handcuff, it's possible, right? Think about Travis Kelsey in the routes. He runs a Travis Kelsey goes down for a season. I would feel fairly comfortable signing up for whoever the Kansas City chief's backup tight end is and throwing him into the mix. I I have no idea who it is.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Tony Gonzalez, something like that. But one position we haven't talked about in and this is how we're gonna revolutionize fantasy football in 2023 and well beyond, probably for like 100 years, I would think. The quarter backhand cuff, okay? Everyone's gotta have a quarterback. You got your favorites. Justin Fields, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson,
Starting point is 00:20:04 Patrick Mahomes, right? The list goes on and on and on. Jalen Hertz, Joe Burrow, whatever you want to do. But we do not talk about handcuffing your quarterback position. Every single year without fail at least one quarterback gets injured in the national football league, right? This thing is a tale as old as time beauty in the beast style. But we never talk about protecting your investments much like how
Starting point is 00:20:35 home pride or can could do that for you. In fact, let's shout out our friends at home pride or again, when you need your home inspector in central Oregon, you better go to someone who's been in the industry a while, someone who's got his roots planted in central Oregon. Call Steve at 541-030-0316 or go to homepriorgan.com for a free initial consultation. Now, I don't know if that's actually on the website, but I can't imagine you pick up the phone. Steve's going to start billing you by the minute, right? So I'll go out on a limb and say free
Starting point is 00:21:10 initial consultation, but protect your investments, go with HomePride Oregon, go with the experts, HomePride Oregon inspection, perfection. Of course, our good friends thatuts by Q and E need your fresh juice and the snappy new coffee experts at Cuts by Q and our wonderful friends, the Samsung Q2U series, great product line for crisp, clear audio quality from dusk till dawn. Genetics Exodus Gen X6, Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy.
Starting point is 00:21:44 I've been in a couple of churches this week. I'm feeling very pious, PIOUS. Genesis Exodus, Genesis 6. Leviticus numbers Deuteronomy. I've been in a couple churches this week. I'm feeling very pious. P-I-O-U-S. Been in the 17th scientist church. Whatever they call it, the Church of Christ scientist. It's the 17th one in the U.S. They're downtown Chicago at Wacker and Lake Morela's.
Starting point is 00:22:07 And Wacker and Wabash, that's what I'm trying to say. Wacker and Lake doesn't make any sense, does it? And then the fourth Presbyterian Church, everything's got to have numbers, right? Which is at Chestnut and Michigan across from Hancock Center, Hancock Tower, as a streety real kind of transitions into Gold Coast area. Gold Coast area, really starting to stumble here. We're only down to if you're curious how the progress in the beer is going. We have passed, so we have officially forgotten what's a material balance again, which I didn't know to begin with, and my Cheg 112 grade, which I never had to take.
Starting point is 00:22:46 We're now right at Bernoulli's equation and I'll say this, I'm definitely forgetting it. I didn't know it in the first place, but I'm definitely forgetting it now. We're about to pass Bernoulli's vacation. Bernoulli's equation and I'll let you know when we get closer to fugacity. There should be a line for, forget how to talk on the bean-tongued podcast. That would be good. I'm getting back, we got three more points and we'll hit our trivia and then we're good to go here. But, Cubi handcuffs, I guess we didn't really finish it off because we got into our ad reads here.
Starting point is 00:23:21 But when we're talking about those injury-prone guys? The guys that are definitely gonna miss you a game. I'm thinking Lamar Jackson, okay. So if you draft Lamar Jackson, you don't draft Tyler Huntley behind him. You're an idiot. Or Justin Fields, his backup is this, what was he? He's like a division three quarter back.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Now a rookie who didn't attempt a single pass in college. Was that the stat I saw or something like that? Nathan Bagett, his name is something like that. Basically, if you're going to drive Justin Fields, you've got to have the bag at. Okay? You don't just want your breath, your cheese. You've got to have the bread too. Or other guys who are definitely going to go down at some point this year. Hey, Matthew Stafford, he gets injured, you're going to want to turn to Kurt Warner. Or whoever the Rams, Mark Balder, whoever the Rams backup QB is at this point. You remember when Baker Mayfield came in last year, he'd been playing for the Rams for like three days. He started on Monday night football and through that sick game winning corner,
Starting point is 00:24:26 touched on past, advanced Jefferson to win. Well now you got Stetson Bennett, who is the rookie quarterback from Stanford, I believe. He's what, like 32, 33, Stetson Bennett age. The kid played college football for a decade. Stetson Bennett is 25, he's a rookie. There you go.
Starting point is 00:24:47 I guess Viking's the rookie quarterback, Jaren Hall is like 26, so it's becoming more and more common these days. But hey, if you're going to go out with staff for days, your quarterback, you've got to drive Stetson Bennett with the next pick. Maybe even take Stetson Bennett first. Here's a new strategy.
Starting point is 00:25:02 I told you we were revolutionizing the game. Maybe when we're talking QB handcuffs, don't tell your hand, right? So if you draft Lamar Jackson, everyone's gonna go crazy and they're gonna draft Tyler Huntley with the next pick, right? They're gonna say, don't let this guy get his quarterback handcuffed.
Starting point is 00:25:19 So what if you go out there, let's take, I don't even know, let's take the Tampa Bay Bucks, for example, right? If you know that Baker Mayfield's going to be your week one starter and in all honesty, he's playing the Viking secondary, don't be surprised if Baker Mayfield actually like, for about five seconds this episode, all kidding aside, don't be surprised if he actually puts up like 20 fantasy points because the boxer, it's gonna be a high scoring affair.
Starting point is 00:25:48 But back to the kidding, get Kyle Trask first. And no one will see it coming. Then you can wait on Baker Mefield and go take him. So quarterback handcuffs, this is the future folks. You heard it here first. Our third point here, you can get pretty precise with this one. Which defenses play against Anthony Richardson the most? Okay, so you go look at the Indianapolis Colts schedule.
Starting point is 00:26:21 The belt just coming from left and right over here. Which defenses are going to play against Anthony Richardson the most. And I'm not even going to leave you hanging here in the meantime pocket. I'll tell you exactly who plays him the most. So there will be three teams that play him twice. And rather than once, however, one of those teams because you play every team in your division twice, one of those teams, because you play every team in your division twice, one of those teams is always going to be the last week of the season, though, when fantasy football
Starting point is 00:26:48 is not a thing. So to take out the mystery, actually a good thing from a fantasy perspective, because the team they play in week 18 is probably the worst, least desirable defense in fantasy football after maybe the Arizona Cardinals, the Houston Texans. So that leaves you with the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Tennessee Titans are the two defenses to answer this burning question that playing Anthony Richardson the most. Okay, so you're going to want to target the Titans and the Texans are Titans and the Jaguars rather in your drafts.
Starting point is 00:27:23 You might be wondering who the heck is Anthony Richardson, I'll tell you, quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, he is the starter, he's a rookie out of Florida, he was what the fourth overall pick, something like that after, how did that go? Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Will Anderson, and then Anthony Richardson, I think is how that ended up. This guy, if you don't know anything about Anthony Richardson,
Starting point is 00:27:44 imagine if he had Justin Fields plus 50 pounds and couldn't throw it all. Now, basically Justin Fields can't throw it all to start with, so that's really saying something. Anthony Richardson is going out there in the preseason and going like six of 20 For 40 yards two interceptions and he rushes for like 80 yards and a touchdown The man is basically if Dante call pepper
Starting point is 00:28:22 Hey, I had like zero IQ in Anthony Richardson. He has an absolute cannon the man can throw like 65 yards He's about as accurate as I would be though. And I can't even really throw a football because my shoulder problem. Bats who were dealing with with Anthony Richardson, he's a freight train from hell. He is going to I'll go on the record here, being Tom podcasts, Anthony Richardson in the first four games of the season is going to turn the ball over at least 10 times.

Wars the J. U.R.s and go get
Starting point is 00:29:13 the Tennessee Titans and you will profit because you'll play against Anthony Richardson twice. Our penultimate point here, kickers often forgot and often overlooked, not just often overlooked, often OFT overlooked. Here's my little secret, go find those kickers that had good arms and high school. So if you're a good kicker that doesn't mean you're always a kicker, you might have been a five-star quarterback recruit. In college or maybe you won the Heisman as a quarterback, you're a freshman year of college and then you convert it to the kicking position because you know you could last, you could pull a David Ackers and go out there and kick for 25 years, whereas you know,
Starting point is 00:30:00 the only way you play more than a handful of seasons in the NFL is a quarterback, because if you don't get, can cost or break, you know, you don't break your, your throwing shoulder, you gotta get Tommy John surgery, right? Kickers don't have these problems, okay? You can have, you can have guys like Adam Vinatieri, Mike Vanderjabt Sebastian Jannick Kowski, and Jason Hansen, right? And the guy who does date line, right? And just go out there and kick for forever. So, but we're talking about kickers, oh, they're boring. I'll wait till round 15 to drive for your kickers.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Well, what if you've found, what if you did that deep dive? And you found that kicker that had a hell of an arm. So when we're talking about running that fake Fiji, when we were playing football madden as a kid's a field goal or you know abbreviation FG was always referred to as a Fiji, I don't think that's like, I don't know if anyone else has ever done that. Not trying to be like a trailblazer or anything, but it's more of like a, God, we were weird kids. Fiji is a field goal or an FG, but it's not a Fiji, right? It's G, but it's not a Fiji. It's an F.
Starting point is 00:31:24 I don't really know. here's my here's my trick Go find those guys with cannons for arms the guys who are gonna line up for a 67 yard game winner and then turn around and chuck a pass down the field We're at heat convection by the way on our Stein. I had Jason Sanders, Dolphins kicker. Maybe he was either two years back or three years back. I can't recall which one. Maybe three at this point.
Starting point is 00:31:56 He went through a touchdown pass on a fake Fiji play. And how many or he caught one, I can't remember, was one of those two. How many, you know it just gain changing Moments season changing moments sports Changing moments those all have hyphens Your kicker if he can chuck a pass down that sweet sweet green turf Into the arms of an open You know sweet, sweet green turf into the arms of an open, you know, sixth string right tackle
Starting point is 00:32:28 who is an eligible receiver on the play. You're going to come back to the Bington podcast and thank me. So without having done any research off the top of my head, I would say Jason Sanders is a good bet because he did it for me once before. I'm looking at guys like Katie York, just because he's got a great British name, Katie York. He was the Browns kicker and then he got traded to like the Cardinals or something. He's been a lot of kicker trades in this off season.
Starting point is 00:32:56 I really can't keep track. It's kind of absurd that kickers get traded, like just find your guy and stick with him. I don't know. And then, you know, I figure, hey, Justin Tucker, he can kick, he can sing opera. I suppose he can throw to Justin Tucker. I'll leave you with this point.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Justin Tucker in the third round, not crazy. Okay. So there you go. Our final point here, so we get a little more slippage, we're almost out here. We we get a little a little more sip edge. We're almost out here. We got one more point. We got our trivia game of the week. I'm monitoring this TCU Colorado game. It's week week one of college football as we record right now. I guess if hey, if we want to take a quick breather and go around the league Michigan is beating the Eastern Carolina Pirates 30 to 0 Tennessee's beating
Starting point is 00:33:51 UVA 42 to 10 so a lot of close games. Speaking of close Oklahoma over Arkansas State 73 to 0. Still 8 minutes left. I was beating Utah State 2046 Ole Miss up on Mercer 20 to 7. So really the TV audiences are just going crazy for this stuff. And as we look ahead to the rest of the top 25 schedule today, hey, I never want to, you know, project how things are going to go, but there are zero top 25 matchups this week. Oh, I guess that's not true. Apparently, it's a game tomorrow between LSU and FSU. That's kind of exciting.
Starting point is 00:34:31 It's the only game this week between ranked teams. Obviously rankings in the preseason, top 25 only means so much, but not a lot of close ones so far. Our final fantasy football point for this year, oftentimes we talk about trusting your gut, right? Especially in fantasy football, Dras, right? You don't worry about the rankings. Don't worry about the ADPs. Don't worry about your friend who took Justin Tucker and the third wrongs that guy probably has a cannon for an arm. We talk about trusting your gut. Well, I'm here to tell you in fantasy football, you should not only trust your gut. You should trust the gut. Well, I'm here to tell you in fantasy of football, you should not only trust your gut, you should trust the gut.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Okay, when we talk about some of the most successful players, some of the most successful running backs in NFL history, we're talking about guys like William the fridge Perry. William the fridge perry. We're talking about Adelaicy, a big ol' boy up there in Green Bay. Mike Tolbert, the toll dozer. Gus Edwards is like 240 pounds and like five, six. That man can scoot, especially in the red zone. Derek Henry is like 6'3'2'50.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Right? These guys got guts. And I know, hey, you can't go out there and draft defense at tackles like Pat Williams or Vita Vaya from the Buckingeers or Endomacanseud. Does that guy still, is he really, I don't want to say like fell off because he just got old right he he completed his life cycle as a defensive tackle But he the last couple years he'd just been like bouncing around like signing midseason. He is a free agent He's 36 of this one man. I remember that guy's a rookie year
Starting point is 00:36:20 When was his rookie year? It's very slight side note. I mean, he was what, like, the number two pick for the Lions or something like that? Uh, the Lions and the 2010 NFL draft. Where did he go? Projected him to go number one. Did he, this shouldn't be that hard to research. Selecting the first one. Yes, second overall.'t be that hard to research. Selected in the first round. Yes, second overall.
Starting point is 00:36:46 That's what I said, right? Second pick, there we go. 2010 draft, second overall by the Lions. So I mean, yeah, this would be what his 14th year if he happens to play. I mean, that's pretty epic to be honest. But our final point here, what I'm trying to say, don't just trust your
Starting point is 00:37:06 gut. Trust the gut. Go out there, find those big old boys like tank bids, bids B. I don't think tank bids B. He's a rookie for the Jags. By the way, he's a backup to Etienne. I don't think he's actually a particularly heavy man. Well, I guess a little bit yeah he's 6 feet tall 215 so I mean that's pretty much what I am. Got this big old gut. Love it. Excuse me with a name like tank he's got to be good. So there you go our five key points for our fantasy football preview here. Number one Kikiur, Kiki Kutur, number two, QB handcuffs. It's going to revolutionize the game. I'm telling you guys. Number three, which defenses play against Anthony Richardson, the most number
Starting point is 00:37:52 four kickers with hell of an arms. They really work. Kickers with great arms. Let's say that. Number five, trust the gut. Finally here, our bean town podcast podcast football trivia question of the week it's going to be look I feel like for this episode for the most part you don't need to be a football person or fantasy player to
Starting point is 00:38:14 like enjoy it hopefully that was I'll say this that was my intention with the show but I couldn't I couldn't go our entire fantasy football preview or annual show without turning up the heat a little bit on like actual football and fantasy knowledge. So here we go.
Starting point is 00:38:35 This is from 2020. So it's a little bit old. It's three and a half years old already. It's from sportsillustrated.com. But the article is top 10 all time fantasy football campaigns. It's going to be very simple. I will give you the team name and the year and you have to identify the player. Okay, so there's 10. It's hefty. And I think some of them are probably going to be very obvious. And some of them, you know, you might just have to like use your brain
Starting point is 00:39:03 a little bit. I will say this, if you don't know anything about football, it's probably going to be tough. If you wanted to do the top 10 all-time fanaticity cricket campaigns, and you gave me the year and the team name, I would probably go 0 for 10. I would just write Patel as a last name for all 10. I just hope I get lucky on one. But Patel is not the answer any of these 10.
Starting point is 00:39:27 So here we go, this will just be from one to 10. And then again, this is sports illustrated. I don't know if there's any, you know, kind of specifics you need to get into with like, oh, this was PPR or not PPR or anything like that. No, these are just, I'm gonna give you the team name the year you identified the player. Okay, so I'll do all 10 and then we'll reveal the answers.
Starting point is 00:39:48 So number one, San Diego Chargers 2006, 481 points. Number two, Carolina Panthers 2019, 471 points. If you need to pause at any point, go for it. Number three, the St. Louis Rams in 2,460 points. Number four, the Kansas City Chiefs in 2,241 points. Number five, the Baltimore Ravens in 2019, 416 points. Number six, the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018, 417 points. Number seven, San Francisco 49ers in 1995, 414 points. Number eight, the Buffalo Bills all the way back in 1975, 383 points. These, the points are jumping around here. I can't explain it, so I apologize for that. Number nine, the Dallas Cowboys 1995, 414 points.
Starting point is 00:40:45 And finally, number 10, the St. Louis Rams in 2006, 415 points. So we had two Rams, we had two chiefs on here where duplicate teams. If you're curious, I'll give you the players and the years from the honorable mentions, Pete Manning 2013, Colts Presumably, Chuck Forum in 1975, sat at the Vikings, I think, not sure.
Starting point is 00:41:15 2017 Todd Gurley would have been a member of the Rams at that point. Demol Charles 2013 as a chief, Randy Moss, 2007 was a Patriot and Antonio Brown 2015 would have been a stealer So those are the honorable mentions So here's the list here from one to ten the San Diego charges in 20 2006 It's a legendary all-time campaign. It is of course LT Lydany and Tom Linson number two panthers 2019 pretty obvious I would think Christian and Catherine now a'm a member of the 49ers. Number three, St. Louis Rams in 2000, hopefully you didn't try to get tricky
Starting point is 00:41:52 with like a Tory Holter and Isaac Bruce. It is Marshall Falk dual threat back. Kansas City Chiefs 2002, this is probably the first one you really had to kind of like, really rack your brain a little bit, I would think to get, but a guy who made a big name for himself at the time, priest Holmes was pretty epic for the chiefs in 02.
Starting point is 00:42:12 2019 for the Raven seems obvious to me. It's Lamar Jackson. 2018 for the chief seems obvious to me. It is Patrick Mahomes in his what sophomore year I think to the or 1995 for the Niners we got to go back in the way back machine a little bit here but Niners 90s synonymous with Jerry Rice are oldest one by far by 20 years the Buffalo Bill's in 75 oh Jay Simpson there you. That might have been the toughest one on this list. 95 cowboys, speaking of synonymous, we talked about 95 or 95 cowboys, and it's Smith.
Starting point is 00:42:53 And then last but not least, kind of like the priest home, homes one, right? A name where it's like fringe, hall of fame guy. But for those of us who ever owned him in fantasy, you know how productive he was, especially on some really just trash Rams teams. For a solid 10, 15 years after their two Super Bowl appearances, the Rams were just a garbage franchise. 2016 was Rams was Stephen Jackson. So there you go, that's our bean-town podcast, of the week. And that is this week's bean town podcast. Our fantasy football preview for 2023. We are almost a fugacity. We will get there after we stop recording here. But of course college football started will last week, but really week one is today the NFL starts in what five days here. Five days here, chiefs and lions, I rarely find myself rooting for the chiefs, so man, I really hope the chiefs just below the lions out of the water, like humiliate them on
Starting point is 00:43:52 national TV. I don't hate the lions, I just hate all the hype this off season and just really over it at this point. And I would just love to watch the chiefs just go to town on them. I think they will. The defending Super Bowl champ almost never loses that opening night game. And the fact that they put the Lions in there now, a team that didn't even make the playoffs last year is just kind of adding to that fuel. So we'll see what happens. But go chiefs, it's tough. I mean, like, in a vacuum without the Vikings, I would
Starting point is 00:44:26 love to see the lions do well because they that is like the most impoverished franchise of all time them in the browns. But we got worked to do here, right? If I knew the if I knew the Minnesota Vikings were going to be just garbage this year, then I'd say, okay, yeah, lions go for it, like way better than the bears or packers, but it's Vikings lions this year. So we need all the help we can get. That's what I got for you. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, if you let us know your favorite quarterback handcuffed,
Starting point is 00:44:55 go to being top podcast, adiahu.com and send us a message. I will be in Kansas City for like 24 hours on Wednesday. So no special shows there or anything, but That's what I got. It's Labor Day weekend, right? First time we mentioned that. I hope everyone has a great three-day weekend It's gonna be like 95 here in Chicago, so stay cool and Go find some beers. Go forget what fugacity means PV equals NRT, right guys? Ideal gas equations.
Starting point is 00:45:27 You learn something on the Bean Tom podcast today that was actually serious. Now you can use it when you cook or something, I don't know. Let's get our outro music going here, I'm done. I'm gonna go live my life on the Saturday. Everyone, I hope that you stay safe. I hope that you stay sane. Have a beer for me.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Happy Labor Day weekend. Go football. I, I hope that you stay sane. Have a beer for me, happy Labor Day weekend. Go football, I'll check in on you next time. Go football, what does that even mean? I don't know, bye. Uh. I'm just a woman, I'm just a woman ndご視聴ありがとうございました
