Starting point is 00:00:00 This is Fantasy Football Today from CBS Sports. Here we go! Email us at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. Here we go! It's time to dominate your fantasy league. Let's go! Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath. Welcome to a special edition of the Pick Fantasy football six today podcast it is a crossover fft meets pick six for
Starting point is 00:00:27 a draft of the best fictional football players ever i am honored to be your host i'm adam azer if you know me if you don't know me from the pick six feed hi uh i'm your co-host alongside will brinson plus sean wagner mcguffin's here and Boucher has, I think, the third pick in the draft. Bobby, will you be trying to draft yourself in round one? Wait, wait, wait. You already are the worst commissioner ever because I believe I have the second pick, and Vicky Valancourt is going to be my second.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Oh, you do have the second pick. You're right. I already screwed that up. That's Jamie Eisenberg. Guys, I'm really nervous. I'm really nervous for this. I feel screwed that up. That's Jamie Eisenberg. And guys, I'm really nervous. I'm really nervous for this. I feel like we would do horribly. Baseball was fun and easy, but football, I'm nervous.
Starting point is 00:01:15 How are you guys feeling about this task? Football is interesting, Azar, but you're the host. This is not a co-host situation. I have no interest in hosting. When you have to host and draft, it's hard to do. And I'll give you credit, Andrew. I like to give you flack during these mock drafts. But a lot of times, like our real mock drafts, you run a live podcast and run a live mock draft and make your picks.
Starting point is 00:01:39 You got a lot on your plate. You do a great job with it. And if anybody in our – and you guys have done a really good job being especially creative with fantasy stuff this offseason because it's even worse. I mean, like at least with football, we can talk about the draft and all the storylines and all the crap like that. I mean, I think it's harder for you guys. You've done a great job. If anybody listening on the Pick 6 feed doesn't already listen to FFT, go hit that subscribe button right now. So, yeah, you didn't really answer the question. Sean, how are you feeling about the draft? pick six feet doesn't already listen to fft go hit that subscribe button right now so yeah you didn't really answer the question sean uh how are you feeling about the question i gotta give will
Starting point is 00:02:10 credits the first mock draft he's been a part of they showed up on time so we appreciate that and i was gonna say we don't normally answer questions on our podcast brinson just talks and then we react okay well i'll get used to that i guess it usually goes like this so sean what do you think about? What was the question? What did you ask me? How are you feeling about the draft? I said I was really nervous.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Well, the thing that makes me nervous, Adam, is that the formatting is not confusing. It's very easy, right? It's a six-round snake draft, two quarterback, two flex, one defensive player, one special teamer, and one coach. Seven rounds. Seven rounds. We don think – Seven rounds. We don't do math on our – Six-round snake plus a bonus round. We changed things up. Anyway, seven rounds, snake draft.
Starting point is 00:02:53 But the thing that confuses me is – or concerns me is like how does a fake professional football player measure up against a fake high school football player? Because like Tim Riggins is a badass on Friday Night Lights, but he's going to get destroyed if he goes and plays for whatever league was in any given Sunday. Yeah. So the way that we, I think, should approach it is you're grading these players based on how good they are in their world. So if that's peewee football, high school, whatever, the best of the best, you want the best players from their world. So it doesn't have to just be all NFL level, whether it's actual NFL or whether it's any given Sunday equivalent. It's in their world.
Starting point is 00:03:41 So for fantasy baseball, when we did this two weeks ago on the Fantasy Baseball Today podcast, I had Marla Hooch and Dottie Hinson. I had Benny the Jet Rodriguez. I had Kelly Leak. I had Steve Nebraska, who was a major leaguer. I had Henry Rowan Gartner. But I had a very well-received team because the players I had were like the best in their world. Even though Clue Haywood from Major League is better than,
Starting point is 00:04:05 let's say, Marla Hooch or something. Marla Hooch is actually a better player in her world, probably. So think of it that way. Let me ask a question. Okay. What are we doing about injuries suffered on the course of a show or movie? For example, is Jason Street an eligible player and you're getting him pre-spinal injury? Or even Smash Williams, who had
Starting point is 00:04:26 that terrible knee injury and wasn't as good after that. What do we do with injuries? First of all, Sean, spoilers. Second of all, I would say that maybe we did eighth round in the IR spot. I don't know if Jason Street's coming off IR.
Starting point is 00:04:43 You take the player's production as... you don't worry about the injury. Like Marla Hooch left mid-season to get married. Just leave it at what you said, best in their world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so let me ask you – Or judging them in their world. Yeah, so I'll give you the rules here for everybody. The players, they can be from movies, TV, video games.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Any level of football is eligible. But they all must be fictional. So we had to eliminate the Friday Night Lights movie. We had to eliminate Remember the Titans. We're only talking, you know, cannot be based on a true story. The draft order is Will, number one, Jamie, two, Sean, three, me, fourth. It's seven rounds, snake draft. You have to draft two quarterbacks. Two flex.
Starting point is 00:05:26 One defensive player. One special team. One special teamer and one coach. I didn't think about this, but could you in theory let's establish this rule now. Could you take four quarterbacks? Are these super flexes or are they just flexes? I think two quarterbacks and then two non-quarterbacks.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Okay. I agree. Before let's do these fun questions. Real quick, go around the horn. We'll go Sean, Jamie, Will. What is your favorite football movie? Probably The Replacements. I just remember that being on TV
Starting point is 00:05:57 a lot when I was a kid, so I watched that one the most. Just to annoy Adam, Jerry Maguire. I know it's Remember the titans for you so uh how about jerry mcguire uh it's easy it's easy for me die hard definitely a football movie there is a football game going on in die hard the guy's watching it they're watching the rose bowl that's right yeah who doesn't love a good football christmas movie like die hard actually a big big flaw because they're watching the rose bowl that's right yeah who doesn't love a good football christmas movie like die hard actually a big big flaw because they're watching the rose bowl on christmas
Starting point is 00:06:29 even though it's obviously a new year's day game uh what is your actually in all seriousness uh this is kind of a bad answer maybe but i really like the little giants watching a ton as a kid i think it's a great movie it's not a it's it's wildly entertaining uh. I think it's a great movie. It's not a, it's, it's wildly entertaining. Uh, and I think it's a fun movie. Uh, Rudy for me. What is your favorite sports movie? He's going to be the guy that reaches for Rudy. You can't take it.
Starting point is 00:07:01 It was real. Oh, wait. Okay. Well, good. You don't want Rudy. He's terrible.
Starting point is 00:07:05 But it really sucked. Although I think, yeah, I think we. Oh, wait. Okay, well, good. You don't want Rudy. He's terrible. Rudy sucked. Although, yeah, I think we should make a case that, like, yeah, A, Rudy's terrible, and B, like, Rudy's fictional because he never would have made that tackle in real life. Yeah, for sure. And he would have stepped on the field or made the team. All right, real quick. What's your favorite sports movie? Moneyball.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Jerry Maguire. Jerry Maguire is unquestionably a sports movie i'm not getting into this right now you complete me i'm not just hey shut up just shut up You had me at hello. You don't think Jerry Maguire, a movie about a sports agent, is a sports movie? No, I think it's a love story that has sports in it. There's almost no sports in it, in fact. In fact, I bet you can't name more than two football players from that movie. I mean, Rod Tidwell is going to be... Roy Aikman?
Starting point is 00:07:59 Rod Tidwell? If it were a sports movie, it'd be called Rod Tidwell. What's your favorite sports movie, Will? Now I've got the room for a loop. Probably Bull Durham. Okay, last question. Jamie. Actually, I'll change it to Major League.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Sorry. Yeah, that's mine as well. Jamie, if you were doing, this is only for Jamie, if you were doing an untimed fantasy draft and someone in that untimed fantasy draft had taken a combined 129 hours, 26 minutes, and 32 seconds to make his last six picks, 129 hours for six picks, would you kick him out of the league?
Starting point is 00:08:35 And let me add, his next pick is up, and he's been on the clock for over three days. Am I on the clock? Yeah, you are. What year is this? What year? It's 2020. Then the answer answer is no i would not kick them out yeah we're gonna pass in 2020 we have nothing better to do see here's here's the thing we're doing our and actually sean the defending champion of the league uh i was the defending champion three years in a row before that sean won last year then oddly
Starting point is 00:09:00 quit the league very weird good timing for you I guess you may have seen this coming because we don't know if the league is going to happen. I think it's like G chats like George Rosselli who's one of our editors at CBS. Hey man, you're on the clock. I'm like, well, I'm prepping for an HQ show and there's no baseball. I'm not going to worry about it.
Starting point is 00:09:20 I'm not that concerned about it. How many rounds do we have left in this thing? Like five or six, which is like six weeks for you. Yeah. I haven't really paid attention, but I will make a draft pick sometime before Friday. All right. All right, guys, let's do it.
Starting point is 00:09:36 You're going to have to make a draft pick right now. Will, you're on the clock. Two quarterbacks, two flex, non-quarterback flex, one defensive player. One special teamer. One coach. Let's go. Let's start it up. Yeah, I think this first one is kind of easy. Now, I do think that the – we'll call them the relative rules, which makes – if you're the best person in your universe, you're not equivalent to – you're not the equivalent across universes. You're not comparing them.
Starting point is 00:10:04 You're the best person in your universe. That changes things a little bit. But if I'm going to go out and get the one pro-ready superstar quarterback available on the draft board, I have the number one overall pick. I want my team to have some identity. I need to sell some tickets. I want some flair, some pizzazz. Dare I say a little swagger?
Starting point is 00:10:24 It's Steve and Willie Beeman number one overall. It's a no-brainer pick. I don't agree with that, but okay. You don't? I caught him from my list. I didn't want him on my team. You know what? I'm not going to get into it yet because I don't want to talk about other players, I suppose.
Starting point is 00:10:47 But, Jamie, you're on the clock with the second pick. Yeah. I think you made a great selection, Will, so good job by you. I'm going to go position scarcity here. So I'm going to take what I think is the best player at the thinnest position, and it is by far the best return man in arguably one of the best movies of all time. I knew it. Give me.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Run, Forrest, run. I knew it. Let's go. Forrest Gump. That was my number one pick. The teamer cannot be stopped in the return game. Also known as a Latte Larry spite pick, because you knew Adam Azar wanted it.
Starting point is 00:11:22 I did not know that. I kind of had a feeling, but he wouldn't divulge. I thought maybe he'd go be the Giants fan, Little Giants. When you said that, I was watching his facial expressions to see how he would react when you said that was your favorite movie, football movie.
Starting point is 00:11:38 But yeah, I think special teams to me was the hardest position to find talented players. I think the fact that Forrest got a – what did he get? Invited to the White House, right? They even put me on a thing called the All-America Team where you get to meet the President of the United States.
Starting point is 00:11:59 The football player? So run, Forrest, run. Jamie's got to pee. All right, Sean, you have the third pick. I got a good quarterback, and this one was easy for me. He's a dual threat. He's going to get me rushing yards. He's going to get me passing yards.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Vince Howard of the East Dillon Lions will be my quarterback one. That would be the TV show edition of Friday Night Lights, right? Yes. Yeah, and I never saw it. Played by Michael B. jordan by the way and just to be clear you don't like steven willie beeman but you do like vince howard i don't really understand that it's more of a uh it's more of the demeanor and the uh i think vince howard is a better locker room fit for my team wow wow even the way will Willie Beeman finished his tenure with the Sharks?
Starting point is 00:12:55 I think Vince Howard had a better development and demonstrated his character to get to that point of winning a state championship on a Hail Mary, by the way. Spoiler alert, I guess. Nerd alert. So the problem I had with the Beeman pick was the position scarcity thing mostly. But also, yeah. You have two QBs. I understand, but like. Quarterback. Yeah, you know, it's abundant.
Starting point is 00:13:17 I think, just so you know, I had never seen any given Sunday until yesterday. And I decided there's no way I can do this draft without having seen that show, that movie. What did you think? It's awesome. I loved it. It's a great movie. By the way. Whoa, whoa, whoa. The person who critiques Jerry Maguire as a football movie,
Starting point is 00:13:32 who hosts a fantasy football podcast, who talks about football all the time, in the year 2020, just saw Any Given Sunday. Yeah, that was a big omission for me. I needed that one. Big. You couldn't sneak in like two hours here or there over the last 30 years to find any given Sunday?
Starting point is 00:13:51 I don't know. You've been watching reruns of The Simpsons every week. Yeah. Spoiler alert. I might draft someone from The Simpsons. In the last week, and you can't watch any given Sunday. All right, I'm on the clock for two picks. So, question.
Starting point is 00:14:05 By the way, he also thinks... Jerry Maguire is not a sports movie? No, I'm blanking. Tiger King is overrated. I agree with him there. It's not that good. Thank you, Will. All right, question.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Can I put Bobby Boucher on special teams? Didn't he block a field goal or something like that? Nope. You can draft him and put him where you want, no? No, no, no, no. He would have to have done something on special teams, but I still think he's worthy of the fourth pick, so I'm going to take Bobby Boucher.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Not to prop up Azar here, but I actually think that you could make the case that you could take Bobby Boucher and convert him to a running back. He's my defensive player. I know that, but I'm just saying, I realize for positional purposes. But if you gave him the ball and you gave him the rock and told him to run with it, he'd be good at it.
Starting point is 00:14:56 I would just like to say that I could do anything on the football field, and Adam Ather is a bleep hole. All right. So now what do I do? ball field and Adam Ather is a bleep hole. Alright, so now what do I do? I think I'm going to go Only one defensive player? That's all we're starting here? I probably shouldn't have taken Boucher then.
Starting point is 00:15:21 We didn't do two. Did Icebox play offense too, or just linebacker listed, listed as an offensive player as well. She, I'm going to take, I'm going to take Meggett. Y'all got a running back.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Not any good ones, which is Nelly's character in the longest yard. He is my first flex back to Sean. Oh, yard he is my first flex back to sean i didn't expect all these quarterbacks to still be left um i mean i feel like my team will just probably be frightening lights heavy i'm going with smash williams pair him with vince howard in that offense i think it's gonna be unstoppable plus think of the plot lines and I will point out for the people who say Smash Williams has a torn up knee he ended up getting into I think Texas A&M and playing in a game that we saw on TV in the background
Starting point is 00:16:14 so clearly he is healthy enough to play Division 1 college football and clearly we know Sean's favorite TV show Jamie you have Forrest Gump what else? I'm going to go with my first flex, and he's a Hall of Famer in real life. He's a Hall of Famer in the prison league as well, Deacon Moss, from The Longest Yard, the 2005 version.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Give me Michael Irvin. Did you have Meggett ahead of Deacon Moss? Because he's amazing. I was actually considering, before you started to say there was one player that you wanted and I figured it was Forrest Gump, I was going to take Deacon Moss too. Oh, okay. How about that?
Starting point is 00:16:54 All right, Willie Beeman for Will and two picks here. All right, so snake draft. Oh, this is easy. I'm going to fill out my flex. What you fools didn't realize, this is, i'm gonna fill out my uh i'm gonna fill out my flex um what you fools didn't realize this is of course a ppr league huge mistake by you i will go with two wide receivers arguably two of the greatest characters and in fact i might even change my favorite football movie from little giants to varsity blues like varsity blues is a is a perfect like i was in high school when it came out, or late middle
Starting point is 00:17:25 school, or whatever it was. It was just a perfect time for a perfect movie, and it's not a great movie. It's a tan. She's a tan! She's a tan! I gave it a tan! A tan! Give it Charlie Twitter! Twitter! What a great name.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Twitter is basically just Wes Welker. Like I'm adding Wes Welker to my roster right here. And then I'm going to go ahead and tack on the movie version of Randy Moss and Rod Tidwell. Show me the money. So I updated the 2007 Patriots while you guys looked on. And Sean's got like two high schoolers but that's fine. You were the
Starting point is 00:18:08 one that said we're not judging in high school. This is what Brinson does all the time. I'm just saying. I have the 07 Patriots and you have... I have a high schooler too. Is Rod Tidwell... Charlie Tweed was definitely flipping burgers within like three years after that movie. Is Rod Tidwell really good though?
Starting point is 00:18:23 I feel like he's like a fine wide receiver. No, but seriously. Seriously. Is he really that good? He's like a fine wide receiver. He couldn't get a contract. Yeah, but he did. But he did.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Eventually, but, you know. Wait, wait, wait. Okay, again. You make the case for Amari Cooper being a top five wide receiver. Did he get a contract right when he was up, or did he have to wait until after the season was over? That was different. They had the franchise tag.
Starting point is 00:18:47 They had leverage. I'm serious. I don't think Rod Tidwell... Rod Tidwell's a turd! I don't think he was a superstar. Isn't he kind of aging? Isn't he looking for... Am I misremembering this? His final deal? I think that we're going to have better players come off the board. That's what I think.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Rod Tidwell couldn't get a contract after he had 110 catches and 1,500 yards. He's good. This is a dumb plot hole in the movie. He's a good football player. Is that where his stats were? He had 110 catches? Yeah, the year before. But he's actually, no, he was sort of a T.
Starting point is 00:19:20 That was a Rex Ryan joke, but he wasn't like a locker room pain is the problem. And that's why, yeah. Okay. All right. I respect it. All right. Willie Beeman, Charlie Tweeter, and Rod Tidwell. Jamie has Forrest Gump and Deacon Moss.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Yeah, I'm going to take quarterback from Sean's favorite movie. I'm going to go with Shane Falco here from The Replacements. Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory. Sean's favorite movie. I'm going to go with Shane Falco here from The Replacements. Pain in heels. Chicks dig scars. Glory. Not the best, but he did play in the Rose Bowl before he hurt his knee. And then he got another opportunity, you know, once upon a time with, I forget, what was the team that he played for again? Washington.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Senators or something? What was the team, Sean? Do you remember? No, I do not remember the team. Yeah, but I'll take Shane Falco as one of my two quarterbacks did we decide are we going to do two defensive players or one should we should we increase one no just one well i'll do two if you guys want so i have some good ones but no just one just one the washington sentinels sentinels shane falco let's go shane falco. Falco to Moss. I love it.
Starting point is 00:20:25 With fours going on special teams. We're going to kick your butt. Sean, is Friday Night Lights heavy? Vince Howard and Smash Williams? Keep it going. Keep it going. Well, here's the thing. Who does Mika Kelly play?
Starting point is 00:20:34 If I have those two and he's still available, it makes sense because of continuity on the offense. You have to go Eric Taylor. So I have my coach in place. I have my system. Quarterback and running back don't have to learn something new. I think it just makes sense at this point to go with Eric Taylor. That's the coach?
Starting point is 00:20:52 Yes. You're taking the entire... That's very funny. You're taking the entire series. I mean, if you guys are just going to leave the Friday Night Lights, I mean, those were good football teams. They were. Okay, let's see. I'm up for two. I'm up for two here. I definitely need a quarterback. So I'm going to take Paul Crew
Starting point is 00:21:09 Which one? The Adam Sandler version He played for Florida State, he played in the NFL Pretty good No one talks about Eric Taylor's 2009 season when he went 2-8 Like, there's clearing holes Will's doing research, I like it Taylor's 2009 season when he went two and eight. There's clearing holes.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Will doing research. I like it. Wikipedia has his full record up here. Plus, he could always quit on me because he did quit at TMU. What else am I going to do here? I'm going to take... I'm going to take... Let's go with Spike from Little Giants as one of my flexes.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Spike, don't play with girls. All right, that gives me Bobby Boucher, Nelly, Spike, and Paul Crew. Back to Sean, who has everybody from Friday Night Lights. I mean, I shouldn't have done as much prep as I needed because you guys are ignoring the only show that I didn't need to do research with. And there is an incredible quarterback still from Friday Night Lights who is a stat machine, J.D. McCoy. His personality is, you don't want it stay away from it i don't care this guy is in the air raid he's gonna throw for 5 000 yards and 45 touchdowns every single season
Starting point is 00:22:32 i am taking jd mccoy and i'm gonna deal with his dad and in the background whatever i'll wear earmuffs around him i'm taking that that golden arm he was compared to jason street um but he doesn't have the injury history. And I will just say, people hate on him because he choked in the state title game. He was a true freshman. Give him a few more years, he will develop that maturity that he needs.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Learn from Vince Howard. I like him as my quarterback, too. I guess we know what Sean's been doing during quarantine. Wait a second. So tell me who Vince Howard and this guy you just drafted jd mccoy are i don't see you just drafted two players you have to start two quarterbacks a team and you just have two guys from the same team i mean are you gonna say that what we're doing is like a faulty premise then yes obviously what we're doing is a faulty premise but this is i mean
Starting point is 00:23:23 this no they're on different teams. Vince Howard is on the East Dillon Panthers, and J.D. McCoy is the quarterback of the Dillon Panthers. Suck it, Branson. Just out Friday night, lights you. Wow. Jamie, you're back on the clock with Forrest Gump, Deacon Moss, and Shane Falco. Man, I'm torn.
Starting point is 00:23:46 I'm so torn right now. I am going to go with Julian Washington, running back from the Miami Sharks from any given Sunday. LL Cool J. LL Cool J. You can't beat that, buddy. So let's go Julian Washington.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Did somebody just drop an F-bomb when JB made that pick? I thought it was you. I was like, wow. Julian Washington. Did somebody just drop an F-bomb when JB made that pick? I think so. It sounded like it. I thought it was you. I was like, wow. I did not. I reacted, though, poorly.
Starting point is 00:24:13 But it wasn't an F-bomb. All right. Then I will vote. Okay. Sorry. Maybe it's because the Friday Night Lights begins with an F. So I thought I heard the letter F. Will, you have Willie Beeman, Charlie
Starting point is 00:24:26 Tweeter, and Rod Tidwell. Two picks. Under Sean's theory, I could just go with Cap Rudy here, right? Drag his own... Let's see. Who am I going to go with? I'm going to go on. This is actually the biggest steal on the planet. I'm going to go with Charles Jefferson.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Fast times at Ridgemont High. An absolute game-wrecking monster. You are going to bleep. He's going to bust my car. He's going to bleep. There's no chance bust my car. He's going to bleep. There's no chance Adam has seen that. I've seen it. I don't remember that, though. My brother's going to s***. Make up your mind, dude.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Is he going to s*** or is he going to kill us? My brother's going to s***. He's going to kill us. He's the biggest person by 200 pounds. They basically admitted in the movie that the high school paid off his parents to send him to Ridgemont.
Starting point is 00:25:29 And he is... Charles Jefferson kills everybody and destroys people. Very famous actor, too. Game wrecker on... So is that defense? Yeah. Defensive end.
Starting point is 00:25:42 What else you got? Oh, I got to do two. You need a quarterback here and a special teamer. And a coach. And a coach. Yeah. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on you.
Starting point is 00:25:57 You got to have a good kicker if you're going to be in this league. And look, sometimes you need a locker room, somebody who improves your locker room. I know where you're going with this. Your character or whatever else they bring to the table. So we're going to Lucy Draper from Necessary Roughness, the one and only Kathy Ireland. Whoa. Man, that was 40 yards. How long was that?
Starting point is 00:26:19 40 yards. Now, can you believe that? I don't even drive that far. This team is shaping up nicely. Very nice. Yes. Welcome to football. Hey, listen, I think we should do another round because I, you know, I'm at a disadvantage. I think we should do a second
Starting point is 00:26:36 defensive player because I got the last pick. I have so many defensive players. That's fine. I have enough names that I can do. You got six seasons of Friday Night Lights. Five. Stop doing fake news about Friday Night Lights. All right, Jamie.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Forrest Gump, Deacon Moss, Shane Falco, and Julian Washington. So you have your special teams. You have your two flex. You need a quarterback and a couple defenses and a coach. Yeah, so I'm going to take a guy with some character issues here. But when he was playing, and as he professed throughout his movie, best arm in the league, and he displayed that at the end when he took out the sniper, Jimmy Dix from The Last Boy Scout.
Starting point is 00:27:16 I'm going to go with Damon Wayans. I think Jimmy Dix gets back in the league and has superstar potential, my second quarterback. He was pretty good, wasn't he? And a lot of people asked if we could use the guy from this movie that shot people. But no, I don't think from a little too much character issues. Yeah, I think I think now Sean back on the clock. So I will not go Friday Night Lights.
Starting point is 00:27:43 What? Sorry, it might. this might wreck with my team chemistry however brinson was criticizing my team because i had a bunch of high schoolers so i think what makes sense at this point is to bring in on hall of famer um a seasoned pro who can kind of you know coach up to maturity level luther shark levay who is played by lawrence taylor and any given sunday that's great he is my defensive player you know what i'm glad you Luther Shark LeVay, who is played by Lawrence Taylor in Any Given Sunday. That's a great choice. He is my defensive player. You know what?
Starting point is 00:28:06 I'm glad you said that. It's actually a really bad choice. I don't know. He didn't do anything. He made one tackle the entire movie, and he couldn't even finish the game. Okay, but there's things that take place in the movie offscreen, and he has a reputation as a very good veteran linebacker. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:28:22 And, Adam, you can't put a price on a guy who will come in and immediately get the other five high school kids on your team addicted to cocaine. You can't. As Brent is saying that, I knew it was going to be a backhand compliment. He's not a good player. Like, you're not. I just want to get something straight here. You didn't like Willie Beeman because of his locker room presence.
Starting point is 00:28:45 The quarterback is, you know, he's the. The quarterback is the icon of the franchise. No one cares about the middle linebacker. No, he was a good locker room presence on any given Sunday. They liked him. He saw Willie Beeman's car in half. But he's not that good of a player. He's washed up. Sean Stephens is going to OD before the first game.
Starting point is 00:29:05 We do one more flex, too. I got so many guys in the draft. Let's do another flex. Eight rounds. I can do that. So we're doing another flex? No, we're not doing another flex. We're doing another defender. No, one more flex, one more defensive guy. You've been outvoted. Three flexes. So now nine rounds?
Starting point is 00:29:21 I honestly think it's going to get too long and boring. No, it's not. I promise. I'm the host. Eight rounds. So we have nine rounds now, correct? No, we have eight rounds.
Starting point is 00:29:31 We have eight rounds. You've been overruled. We have eight rounds. Okay. I have Bobby Boucher. Can I just put this out real quick? Yeah. In his Wikipedia summary,
Starting point is 00:29:39 Luther Viva has had, quote, a very successful career. Yeah, but that's... Let the fact be for themselves. I understand that, but you're drafting the character from the movie, and that character from the movie is not that good. I just read you, he had a very... That character from the movie had a very successful career.
Starting point is 00:29:57 But you're taking him at what we saw him in the movie. You're not taking his prime. You're taking the washed-up version of him. He's an okay player but okay but again as okay maybe the maturity thing wasn't a good point as prince had pointed out however i like my pick very successful player we can move on good legacy it was a it was a fun pick uh whether or not it's going to help your team over the long haul or uh lower the the uh the drug rate the like the, the steroid use.
Starting point is 00:30:25 It's a good mix. It's a good mix. Actually, you might have like four – you're going to have like four high school kids just roided out of their gorge. He's overcompensating J.D. McCoy who doesn't drink though. I've never seen the TV show Friday Night Lights, but I know where the movie is set. What's the city where the TV show is set?
Starting point is 00:30:43 Dillon. Dillon. Dillon. So the hooker population in Dillon just got raised and more excited as well. Okay, so Sean took Shark. I have
Starting point is 00:30:53 two picks. I'm going to take my second defensive player. I have Bobby Boucher and now I have Icebox. Oh my God. He's so good against the run. It's going to be amazing. I have two flexes already, Spike and Megit. So, you know, it might be time to go coach here.
Starting point is 00:31:11 Because, like, I'm cool. I could get another quarterback. No problem. I already have a quarterback ace in the hole. Am I going to have to go coach? No, because nobody's going to take the coach I want. So, I'll just take a quarterback here. Let's go with Joe Cain from the program. My second quarterback.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Alright, back to Sean. I'm going outside the box here. This might be a reach, but I'm worried since all of you guys appeared to do research that you threw this name on the list and i'm gonna get jumped for him i think i could get him in round nine i want this guy on my team though and he plays both sides but i'm taking him on defense because he is shown playing defense i'm taking um zachary sack sack lodge from wedding crashers that is bradley cooper's
Starting point is 00:32:02 character he lays out vince vaughn like J.J. Watt. And according to Owen Wilson, it looks like he's on steroids. It's like trying to cover a bleeping racehorse. I think he's on steroids. It's like trying to cover a f***ing racehorse. This guy is a machine who
Starting point is 00:32:19 instead decided to go into business and politics. Could have had a successful football career. I'm taking Zachary's sack lunch. That's what we call a sack lunch. Also, look, I got to give you credit for that, Sean. I don't like to give you credit, but I'm going to. That's a great pick. Not only is it way outside the box, it was not on my list.
Starting point is 00:32:42 You get crab cakes with the pick. And more importantly, we talk about you have to be – it's relative to the competition that you have inside your movie. He just has to beat up on the family at a flag football game. This guy's a monster. He used to beat Christopher Walkins. That was really good. But you could not have gotten him in round nine, like you said, because we're only doing eight rounds.
Starting point is 00:33:00 No, we're doing round nine. Come on. Don't be a baby. Jamie, you're up. You have Forrest Gump, Deacon Moss, Shane Falco, Julian Washington, and Jimmy Dix. So you have two quarterbacks.
Starting point is 00:33:11 You have your flexes, right? You need a defender now. I have two of my three flexes. Jamie, we're doing an eight-round draft. You only get two flexes. I just made my lodge pick, though, thinking that there were nine rounds. We're doing nine rounds. Don't be a baby. How many rounds are we through right now?
Starting point is 00:33:28 We're in the sixth round. I'm fine with eight. Willis doesn't want to work. For God's sake. We're already traded down. We're already at 32 minutes, man. Let's go. Jamie, I'll give you my next two picks. All right. I'm going to go. Jamie, I'll give you my next two picks. All right.
Starting point is 00:33:46 I'm going to go defense here, and I'm going to take arguably the best trash talker on defense in movie history from a football perspective. That's Alvin Mack of the program. He would make offensive players cry. Unfortunately, he got hurt. We don't know how his career ended, but during his time on the field was a star for the program.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Give me Alvin Mack. Jamie, I like your team. You've got a solid team there. That was your first defender? First defender. Willie Beeman, you've got one quarterback. You've got two flexes. They're Charlie Tweeter and Rod Tidwell. You have Charles Jefferson. You have your kicker, Lucy Draper.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Now you have two more picks. Here's what I'm going to do on this one. First up, again, I go back to Sean's, what he just did with Wedding Crashers. It's a very smart move to think outside the box. You don't need that. If you're playing against the competition, you need the guy who's the best guy on the field. Or in this case, on the beach, Johnny Utah, my second quarterback.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Utah, give me two. Keanu Reeves, multiple appearances as a fictional quarterback. Obviously, he was in the replacement of Shane Falco, so he's on two teams. That must feel a little weird when Jamie and I play each other. It'll be like a Spider-Man meme type of situation. But Johnny Utah, although he destroyed his his knee at Ohio State, medical technology is so good now that I feel like Utah will be able to get back on the field, assuming he's still in shape and isn't eating too many meatball subs.
Starting point is 00:35:15 And he showed that in the movie in Point Break, he showed that he was a perfectly fine athlete and capable of still playing, particularly beach football. Like a beach football, you should be blowing your knee out he wasn't doing it now for my next pick i'm going to go so far off the reservation but it is arguably the best pick of the entire draft when i read adam's email and here's what it said players can be from movies tv, etc. Now here's the loophole, fellas. I'm going to be taking Chad Masters a.k.a.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Griffin Murphy, a.k.a. the coach of the New England Patriots in Madden because Bill Belichick isn't in the game. Yes! I just got Belichick. I like that. I like that.
Starting point is 00:36:05 That's great. Is anybody going to take anybody from a video game? I don't know who else you could take. They're all real. No, you could take Bones Jackson from Mutant League Football. I was considering going that route, but I was like, that's too obscure.
Starting point is 00:36:20 I guess you could do a whole NFL Blitz team, but they have names too. I think they're real players in Blitz, I thought anyway. But yeah, video games didn't really work for this. Belichick not in the Coaches Association, not in Madden. That's really funny. All right, you got your coach, your kicker. You need another defensive player to round out your team.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Jamie, you've got two quarterbacks. You've got two flexes. You got special team. You need got two flexes. You've got a special team. You need defense here and a coach. You need defense and a coach. All right. So let's see here. I'm going to go with... I'm struggling with the second defensive guy because there are a lot of guys
Starting point is 00:36:56 that I like. But I'm going to take a professional wrestler who also was a dominant defensive player. Once again, going back to the prison league. He was a guard. Joey Battle. Bill Goldberg. I'm sorry. He was a dominant defensive player, once again going back to the prison league. He was a guard. Joey Battle, Bill Goldberg. I'm sorry, he was a prisoner. His famous line was, I get to hit the guards.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Joey Battle, Bill Goldberg from The Longest Yard. Okay, good one. Good movie. Sean, back on the clock. So I have a flex left and a kicker left. I feel like I just need to grab someone from the replacements since I said that was my favorite football movie. So I'm going to go kicker.
Starting point is 00:37:33 He has a huge leg. Accuracy can be shaky at times, but I like the idea. He can kick a football the entire length of the football field. So you are always in field goal range. You always have a shot. I'm going with Nigel Gruff. He's the guy who smokes a lot, so he will keep Shark company.
Starting point is 00:37:52 And he's got a big leg, shaky accuracy, like I said. But I think he will fit in well with Shark, and he gives me a chance always from down by three to send the game to overtime. Give me a chance, boss. I'm cold. You're looking at a 65-yard field goal here, here nigel you just hold it shane and i'll kick the bloody piss out of it he also could uh could throw the game for you know if the kids from dylan are trying to make
Starting point is 00:38:16 some money he's got a gambling problem so he could uh shot shot strategy of like taking a bunch of high schoolers, adding a flaky coach who bolted on the program multiple times, along with an overbearing, albeit very attractive wife, and then mixing them together with veterans that Eric Taylor is not going to be able to control, most of whom have excessive vices, is a bold move. I like it, but it's a bold move i really hope people listening to this podcast get on will brinson at will brinson on twitter for calling tammy taylor overbearing i don't mean in a pejorative way i just mean she's overbearing is wrong but uh hands on like you're like she's gonna have shark over to her house on sunday night for for spaghetti exactly she she's part of the she's part of the the Eric Taylor package. She was a high school principal, a high school counselor. She knows how to coach up these immature people.
Starting point is 00:39:11 I'm not buying it. Jamie, did you ever see Friday Night Lights? The show or the movie? The show. I've never seen the show. Yeah, me either. The movie was good. All right, so my last two picks here,
Starting point is 00:39:23 Kicker and Head Coach. So for Kicker, I'm going to go with, does anybody know who Barney Gorman is? Neither do you. He is the garbage-picking, field-goal-kicking Philadelphia phenomenon. He is played by Tony Danza, and he is a garbage man who becomes a kicker for the Eagles. Call yourself Philadelphia Eagles? I've been an Eagles fan my whole life. You don't look like Philadelphia Eagles.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Apparently, he was really good. Thank you, Google, for Barney Gorman. Head Coach. Don't you actually have to see the person in their performance to take them? I saw some YouTube clips. Huh?
Starting point is 00:40:05 I saw some YouTube clips. Just? I saw some YouTube clips. Just now while we were talking? No, earlier today. I did my research. And then head coach, I feel like everybody's going to tell me that I should take Tony D'Amato, but he was a really piece of garbage.
Starting point is 00:40:24 His quarterback's like, Coach, I can't see straight. I have spotty memory. I can't hold a spoon. He's like, Hey, you're my guy. Be tough. Get out there. And then he tells Lawrence Taylor, the doctor's like, Lawrence Taylor's going to die.
Starting point is 00:40:37 And he's like, You got to sign a waiver, and you're good to go. So I'm going to take Molly McGrath from Wildcats as Goldie Hawn in a very challenging role trying to reach these kids and doing a great job. Molly McGrath, you could not possibly overcome more odds as a head coach than Molly McGrath did in that
Starting point is 00:40:57 very funny movie. So that rounds out my team. Alright, feel good about it. Sean? Well, I did not expect to get this guy in round eight and it's an absolute steal and i'm going back to the friday night lights well tim riggins the fact that you guys didn't draft tim riggins now i know what brinson's going to say he's going to say yeah that's a great pick sean because now you got all running backs and you got two quarterbacks and no one to throw the ball to you however if you watch friday night lights the show you know there are literally no receivers in that show they don't show they don't have a main character at all who's a receiver so finn sower and jd
Starting point is 00:41:32 mccoy can throw to tim riggins and smash williams as well i always wondered why pete briscoe never watched that show uh okay how about jb you want to watch It's stupid. Cheesy. Too cheesy. Needs more action. He watches North Dallas 40 on a loop. JD McCoy doesn't have fire in his belly. He's got a fat face.
Starting point is 00:42:00 JB, who's your head coach? Eric Taylor. I'm going to disagree with you, Adam. I'm going to take Tony D'Amato. He's just sitting right there, so it's an easy one to take. Great speech. You know, fires up his players. It was a great speech.
Starting point is 00:42:11 It's the guy who's willing to die who's going to win that itch. And I know if I'm going to have any life anymore, it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that itch. Because that's what living is. The six inches in front of your face. Even I was. Can't go wrong with Al Pacino. Plus, he stole Willie Beeman at the end when he switched teams.
Starting point is 00:42:36 That was a cool twist. Cool twist. Will, what do we need? You got your quarterbacks. You need one more defensive player. I got to have one more defensive player? I think so. By the way, was Charles Jefferson
Starting point is 00:42:50 a linebacker or a defensive end? I think I would play him a defensive end in the scheme or as an outside linebacker maybe in the scheme that I'm utilizing here. You're one defensive player scheme? Yeah, I would like to... That's right.
Starting point is 00:43:06 I'm going to make an unprecedented move. This is the last pick of the draft. I'm going to do something a little unconventional. And you guys can tell me if it's okay or not to do it. What I'm going to do is I'm taking Billy Bob from Varsity Blues and I'm flipping him over to defense. It's not okay. It's absolutely not okay.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Why not? Why not? Because it's ridiculous. I'm going to take – okay, fine. I don't need a special teamer anymore. I'm just going to take Bobby Boucher and make him my punt blocker. It's ridiculous. I literally said I think you should make Bobby Boucher a running back.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Yeah, but we said Azar couldn't do it, so you can't do it. No, you can't do it. Well, you should have paid attention to like the third pick in the draft i can tell you that if you want help i can give you the best no no no no let the clock run out let him drown in his misery apparently did not do much prep i did enough prep for one defensive player because I had four defensive players on my list, my top four, and now I need to find another. How many defensive players do you have on your list?
Starting point is 00:44:13 I had eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. I had ten. I had ten. What the hell is it? You guys are idiots. Actually, I only have five. Because I wrote down the names and then I just ranked them,
Starting point is 00:44:23 and then it wasn't worth erasing. I only had five, Will, but I got two of them. I'm trying to make sure I don't mess. I mean, like. By the way, and if we can convert people, like if we're doing that, then redraft. I'm taking Arya Stark and plugging her in somewhere. That's just idiotic. All right.
Starting point is 00:44:39 I'm going to take Tremaine Wesley Snipes from Wildcats. Oh, OK, cool. I like it. It's a great movie, by the way. And Steel Cars, too. All right. First of all, if there's one player that you wish you could have had on your team, but you couldn't fit him or her, who was it? Couldn't fit him or can we count somebody who got him before us?
Starting point is 00:45:01 No. Who, in theory, would be your ninth pick? Okay. Go ahead. Well, don't make me go first. I was going to take Ricky Jarrett from Ballers. Oh, that's a good one. We definitely left Ballers.
Starting point is 00:45:15 I know. I forgot. I had two guys. I had Ricky Jarrett from Ballers from the show, and then Vernon Littlefield. Did anybody want to get Al Bundy on their team? Oh, good, good. I figured he probably wasn't that good. He probably had one good game. But I wanted to take...
Starting point is 00:45:30 We've heard about it. I wanted to... Could you, in theory, have taken The Rock from Ballers? He was on the list too. Spencer Strathmore. Yep. But Vernon Littlefield, I think, was the better player. Defensive player.
Starting point is 00:45:43 I wanted to take Terry Tate. I've never watched ballers. Terry Tate, office linebacker. Ooh, you should have come with that one just for the reaction. That's good. I know, I know. But I have Bobby Boucher and Icebox, so I feel like he's not as good as that. I think the best defensive player not drafted was Andre Krim from Necessary Roughness.
Starting point is 00:46:02 It's in bed. I think it's the cop from The Replacements. I was going to say Danny Bateman. I almost took him. Let's recap our teams. Another good flex would have been the tight end
Starting point is 00:46:17 from The Replacements. That's what I was trying to look up just now. Because he was deaf, right? And that's why he would have fallen. But I think you can get tremendous value by taking the death now i did i did have one i didn't want to draft it because i didn't want the controversy but i think you can get tremendous value by taking well because he's being he's being overlooked um for that one thing but like you know i think he would be able to get someone you get your quarterback to learn sign language and you're fine he also had um uh darn old jefferson, Omar Epps from the program.
Starting point is 00:46:47 He could have been drafted. Nobody drafted him. I took him, did they? Did anyone take Eddie Martell too? Because he was the quarterback that his name replaces. He was only replaced because of the holdout, so he could have been. He was a good player. The quarterbacks I
Starting point is 00:47:02 had that didn't get drafted was Paul Crew from the original Longshard. Okay. Paul Blake, which was Scott Bakula. Yeah, he won one game. Huh? He won one game. I had Eddie Martell on the list.
Starting point is 00:47:14 And then Mox, obviously. Mox would have been good, yeah. The running backs were Darnold Jefferson. And I couldn't find his first name, but the running back from Varsity Blues, Wendell. They just kept calling him Wendell. Yeah, he was awesome. Right. I couldn't find his full name. Wide receivers. Now, this was the one I
Starting point is 00:47:34 had a question mark on. Could we have used T.O. from any given Sunday? Yeah, because he didn't play T.O., right? He played a player named Owens. I feel like he barely did anything. He had like play T.O., right? He played a player named Owens. I feel like he barely did anything. He had like one catch. He had two catches in the game, if you look up his performance.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Yeah, you could have used him, but in my opinion, he wasn't really good enough. He probably was, but we didn't know. Also, Jimmy Sanderson from Any Given Sunday, which was Bill Bellamy. Yeah. He was the receiver. And then that's all I got. How about Flat Top from Necessary Roughness? He was
Starting point is 00:48:09 the best player, basically. He was the defensive player on the bad guy team. He got into that bar fight with them. Alright, let's recap our teams. Will, you're the first pick. Give us your head coach, your two quarterbacks, your two flexes, your two flexes,
Starting point is 00:48:26 your two defensive players, and your kicker. Or your special team. I'd like that you anticipate that I was writing these down. I can do it if you'd like. I was writing mine down. Actually, no, it's easy because I didn't have any running backs. That was my problem. I had Darnell Jefferson on there, somebody to take if I should take him.
Starting point is 00:48:44 But I got Willie Beeman and Johnny Utah as my two quarterbacks. Willie Beeman, first overall pick. Utah, I think, is a sleeper. Got him later in the draft. And again, dominated beach football. Beeman was excellent at the pro level. I mean, come on, guys. Rod Tidwell and Charlie Tweeter as my two flexes.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Again, two quarterbacks, two wide receivers. PPR is three points per reception lead. I mean, who saw that coming? On defense, I have Charles Jefferson and who did I take? Wesley Snipes. Wesley Snipes, Tremaine from Wildcats. And then my special teamer is Lucy Draper, Kathy Ireland from Necessary Roughness, and my coach, the fake replacement for Bill Belichick in the Madden game
Starting point is 00:49:30 because Bill Belichick. Yeah, steal the draft. That might be my favorite pick. It was awesome. Jamie. I didn't know he had a name. Okay. I've written about him on CBS.
Starting point is 00:49:41 My two quarterbacks are Shane Falco of the Replacements and Jimmy Dix from the last Boy Scout. My two flexes are Deacon Moss from the Longest Yard and Julian Washington from Any Given Sunday. My defensive players are Alvin Mack of the program and Joey Battle of the Longest Yard. My special teamer, which is my best player, is Forrest Gump. And my coach is Tony DiMato from Any Given Sunday.
Starting point is 00:50:04 It's a solid team. It's a very solid team. Sean, what quarterback do you got? QB1, Vince Howard of the East Dillon Lions. My second quarterback is G.D. McCoy of the Dillon Panthers. My two flexes are Smash Williams, running back of the Dillon Panthers. My other flex is Tim Riggins, running back slash fullback of the Dillon Panthers. My two defenders are Luther Shark-LeVay, played by Lawrence Taylor in the replacement, or sorry, in a given Sunday,
Starting point is 00:50:37 and Zachary Sack-Lodge, played by Bradley Cooper in Wedding Crashers. My kicker is Nigel Gruff from the replacements, can kick the ball the whole field. And my coach is Eric Taylor, which might have seemed like a reach at the time, but when you consider how many Friday Night Lights players I had, it was good to keep the continuity. I don't think anybody else is going to take Eric Taylor, though, so I think he's probably all right, but we wouldn't have done that to you. We had a lot of coaches that didn't get drafted.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Yeah. Like who? Who's on your list? Well, you have Ed Gennaro from Necessary Roughness. You got Jimmy McGinty from The Replacements. You got Nate Scarborough from The Longest Yard, which was Burt Reynolds getting in the second movie. And then Coach Klein. He was my coach.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Oh, that's Coach Klein. What about... He also played The Fond, but we don't talk about that. What about Danny O'Shea? He's Little Giants. Come on. Will's favorite. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:31 If I had taken Nelson Muntz at quarterback, would that have been like – what do you think, Will? Good pick, bad pick? If you recall, he was great. All right. That's why I didn't do it. I didn't feel like we had that kind of draft. Will has forgotten Little Giants. He's looking up currently who that is right now. He's why I didn't do it. I didn't feel like we had that kind of draft. Will has forgotten Lil' Giants. He's looking up currently
Starting point is 00:51:47 who that is right now. He's forgotten. You said Nelson Muntz, right? Yeah, Nelson Muntz. He was from the Simpsons. The episode's called Bart Starr. Yeah, like Nelson from the Simpsons. Yeah, he was great. He was the quarterback, and then Homer benched him for Bart, and the season went down the tubes. Anyway. That's right. Yeah, he was great.
Starting point is 00:52:03 I guess you know what A he's been doing during quarantine no that would have been a good play i think so too but it just didn't really feel like that kind of a draft i felt like we sort of had to keep it to non-animated people uh all right quarterbacks are paul crew from the longest yard and joe cane from the program flex is megget from the longest yard played by nelly and And Spike from Little Giants. That is a strength of the team, but not as good as my defensive players, Bobby Boucher and Becky, the Icebox O'Shea. My kicker is Barney Gorman, played by Tony Danza.
Starting point is 00:52:36 The garbage-picking, field-goal-kicking Philadelphia phenomenon. My head coach is Molly McGrath, played by Goldie Hawn in Wildcats. I feel like Icebox might have been the steal of your team. It was pretty good. I'm glad we added that second defensive player. Who is the best actor of the players that we drafted? I have Michael B. Jordan. I have Pacino.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Oh, probably Pacino. When you said Bradley Cooper, I was like, okay, let's throw Pacino Oh probably When you said Bradley Cooper I was like okay well let's throw Pacino out Let's throw Pacino out because he's a coach So of the players Who had the best acting performance Well I guess it's Rod Fidwell Rod Fidwell won an Academy Award for that Yeah
Starting point is 00:53:19 I guess it depends like the question is Is it best actor or best acting career? Because I think Keanu would win best acting career. No, I think Jamie Foxx. No one would say he's the best actor. I think Jamie Foxx would have that one.
Starting point is 00:53:39 Oh, yeah. Willie Beeman. Oh, wait a second. Wait a second. You have Forrest Gump. I forgot about that. Oh, yeah. What Beeman. Oh, wait a second. Wait a second. You have Forrest Gump. I forgot about that. Oh, yeah. What are we doing, guys?
Starting point is 00:53:49 Yeah. True. And I just realized. If we want to get serious about it, Tom Hanks, it's fine. It's fine. Come on, man. Oh, boy. We're not getting into this.
Starting point is 00:54:00 You're going there? I also realized. Are you asking if Tom Hanks is actually good or not? Is that what you're asking? No, asking if Tom Hanks is actually good or not? Is that what you're asking? I think Tom Hanks is great. I just think that Tom Hanks has a Hall of Fame floor, but his ceiling is a little capped. I think we'd look at his movies.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Oh, yeah. Saving Private Riot is the greatest movie ever. Wow. I realize, guys, that I have two Adam Sandlers on my team, so I do not have a very well acted team, unfortunately. Bobby Boucher and Paul Crew. Football for me, football for you.
Starting point is 00:54:33 And I have Paul Crew. Bobby Boucher and I have Paul Crew. I think that you also have Beth Water on the team. And Vicky Valancourt had a pretty good tackle at the end of the movie, too. Alright, so last thing. Let's get our producers.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Shraggy B of Fantasy Football Today. Eric D of Pick 6. Tell me your favorite teams. I like Jamie's. Jamie's the winner for me. Yeah, I'm going to go away from my podcast, and I'm going to Jamie's as well.
Starting point is 00:55:07 That Forrest Gump pick was huge. I was really mad that he took it. I thought I could get him in round one. It really was. It came down to Willie Beeman and Forrest Gump, depending on which way Will was going to go. Yeah, I thought about the Forrest Gump thing, but you've got to take the quarterback.
Starting point is 00:55:22 I had two quarterbacks. Although, in hindsight, there are so many quarter, like it's weird that there's almost, I guess it makes sense from a movie standpoint that you would have so many quarterbacks, like even in a two quarterback league, you can easily like the Friday nights. I mean, Sean has two of them on his team. So like I had four more, I had four more listed. I honestly, I only, I only, and I, I ranked, I, I, I listed a lot of players. I only had three special teamers.
Starting point is 00:55:46 It was the two kickers that were drafted and Forrest Gump. I had some fictional soccer players that I was going to convert to kicker if you guys took my kickers. The other thing, too, is like if you go Forrest Gump special team, so Forrest Gump is your special teamer, not your running back, right? Yes. No, I mean, you only show him playing special team. Yeah. Yeah. Kick returner. Right. I'm just saying like you could. Oh,, not your running back, right? Yes. No, I mean, you only saw him playing special team. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Kick returner. I'm just saying, like, you could... If he was running back, you would move him to running back and put him behind Alabama's offensive line, and he would run 3,000. Good job, Jamie. Good job. So we'll get this out on social media and let the people decide. Thank you to Will, Jamie, and Sean.
