And he stays on his feet!
He's just going to go the distance!
Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.
Mailbag time!
What's up, everybody?
Welcome to the show.
Adam, Dan, and Jamie here on Friday afternoon.
If you're listening on Saturday, whatever it is,
hope you're having an awesome weekend.
Yes, I am Adam Azer, getting healthier.
Jamie Eisenberg is here.
And Dan Schneier, not only is he the president,
he is also a client.
I don't know if you get that.
Dan doesn't know that one.
No, you don't get that one.
That's the old hair club for men.
That is a brutal haircut.
I mean, what do we got going on?
It's really short on the sides.
It's too poofy in the front.
He said he had a bad haircut.
I wasn't expecting it because, like I said, this guy's hair has looked the same every day for his entire life.
But this is different.
This is bad news. What happened? Take the headphones off so we can see it in all its glory
the headphones make it worse actually yeah it's not as bad it's not as bad with without it's not
as bad without the headphones on the headphones make it worse right yeah the good news is it'll
grow back the bad news is it looks terrible. And here's what happened.
I, for those who don't know, I'm a man of not many.
How do I describe this?
I don't buy watches.
I don't have jewelry.
I don't have nice clothing.
None of that stuff ever appealed to me.
So when it came to haircuts and my personal appearance, I never really put that much into it.
I go to a place, and I don't want go to a place and i don't want to name
the place i don't want to drag the place though most people would look down upon it it's a chain
haircut store let's just call it that and when you go to a chain haircut store a chan and when
you don't a chan a chan yes they want to be pronounced a chan haircut store you you know
and when you have a job where you're working a lot or when, you know, some
circumstances that have gone down on our team mean more working this week, you don't have
time to get a haircut.
And I knew I had a trip coming up to Florida, so I don't have a specific barber or hairstylist.
I just go to the place, this chain place, and whoever they give me, they give me.
It's been fine until this point.
As Adam always says, my hair looks always the same. That's great. That's my design. I'm good with that. this chain place and whoever they give me they give me it's been fine until this point as adam
always says my hair looks always the same that's great that's my design i'm good with that give me
the same haircut every time this time i said the exact same thing i always say which is a one faded
into a two on the sides and trim keyword trim on the top trim on the top is this look like a trim
to you this is not a trim this is a massacre on the top this is a hack job on the top. Is this look like a trim to you? This is not a trim. This is a massacre on the top.
This is a hack job on the top.
And the worst part about it is this hairstylist.
She turned my chair.
I don't know why I've never had a haircut like this while working on me.
She turned my chair.
She turned my chair.
So I was not facing the mirror anymore.
So like,
I'm just,
it's a guessing game at that point as far as what the work she's doing.
And I'm just have to hope that things are going well. I'm just sitting there all the time. I don't
know. I don't know. She flips it back around to the, to the, to the end, at the end of the haircut,
to the, to the mirror. And she goes, how's it look? How do you like it? And I just had that
freeze moment where I was just like, here's that awkward spot. Like when you're at a restaurant and
the food sucks and the waiter's like, how was the food? You never tell them the truth. You know, whenever tells the truth, you always say, oh, it's good. Yeah. The food was
great. So, yeah. So how was it? How does it look? Oh, good. Yeah. Oh, that's terrible. I'm so sorry.
She turned she did the turn. Now you can't do that. She did the turn. I need to see a mirror
the whole time. Absolutely. And you know what? I think it's a lot different i mean i would tell i don't
usually you know i usually enjoy my meals but if the food was bad i don't know if i tell the waiter
but the waiter didn't make it i never tell the waiter the waiter didn't make it but this is i
know but you don't want the awkward conversation of being like actually this was kind of crappy
and it was cold and it came to no one ever want like i don't like that i'm not a big fan of the
i guess it's not no one people who don't like confrontation like myself don't ever do that did you tip yeah did you say i did the normal tip i did the normal
good tip yeah a normal good tip i don't i don't take it out on the tip ever the person even though
this is i just don't understand what she thought i meant when i said trim trim i said trim well i
don't really all right so here's here's what here's what happened i just question after you
you go back the next time they give you the same person oh no no then i'm gonna say no i'm gonna say no
the conversation will happen no no i'm not kidding and i thought about this today jamie it's funny
you brought that up like i was thinking about this in the shower like if that happens again
and i'm stuck with that person i'm gonna have to do the thing i don't want to do and be like
i'm sorry but the last haircut we had together wasn't, wasn't great. No, you know
what I would do? Honestly, I would leave. I'd be like, I would pretend that I had a phone call.
That is actually what I would do. That's actually the sad sissy move that Adam and myself would do
to avoid competition. I'm going to, I'm going to give you a scenario based on something you
just brought up and I want to see if our audience can guess who it is. And it might be one of the three of us on the show right now.
There is a person who continually, who has repeatedly, when asked, how's the food, said, eh, not so good.
And as a result, has gotten some free meals out of it.
Really?
But there is somebody that is on our shows regularly that does that on occasion really
and i have to guess who it is no no our audience gonna guess what it is because i think i have a
guess i got a strong guess already sound like a dave it doesn't sound like a dave thing like
everybody's guessing dave or two people are guessing dave right now it doesn't sound two
days though it's not a heath either yeah no, no. It could be one of the U2?
No.
No, it's not one of us.
It's Jacob Gibbs.
No, it's not Gibbs.
I think it's Dave, but it doesn't even feel like a Dave thing.
But I just know it's so far from a Heath thing.
Wow.
And it's not a U thing either, James.
It's a Dave thing.
It's Tara.
That's funny. All right. Well, we'll a Dave thing. It's Tara. That's funny.
All right.
Well, we'll reveal that later.
We got some news and news.
That's actually what Tara's time means when the food.
Yeah.
I didn't like the food.
I'll share my haircut story.
I have a much worse haircut story than hopefully anyone.
And I'll share that later on in the show.
I wish I had gone to a Chan.
I thought your worst haircut story was when the listeners paid a lot of
money to St.
Jude for you to shave three lines on the side of your head.
You didn't do it.
Jamie did it the next day.
Gave you a chance to correct your mistake.
I still haven't done it.
Adam,
when he lived in Florida,
I had the best person cutting his hair in the world.
Yeah.
Jamie's hairstylist.
Yeah.
She's great.
Honestly,
if I,
I,
my better move would have been way today.
Cause for those who don't know, I'm heading down to Fort Lauderdale, the main office, for this next week.
And I wanted a haircut to try to look okay for my colleagues and people I haven't seen in a while.
And I should have just waited and taken your barber, Jamie.
That would have been the move.
All right, can we get on the show here?
Actually, this was good filibustering because we got some news in.
Daniel Jones and two starting linemen are out for the Giants. That one we saw
about an hour ago. Jameer Gibbs
has not been ruled out yet.
If Jameer Gibbs plays, would you
downgrade David Montgomery at all?
Nope.
A couple spots, but that's it.
Mike Evans is good to go.
Actually, this was one
of the moments on this morning's
Friday morning's Start or Sit episode where I had to leave.
I didn't hear what you said about Evans and Godwin.
So now they're both playing.
Jamie, where are you going to rank Evans and Godwin?
Where we have them ranked.
So Evans is a top 12 wide receiver.
And Godwin is a high-end number three receiver.
I mean, that's just the one big performance we had from Chris Godwin so far this season
was the game that Evans left.
And so that's just apparently where Baker Mayfield likes to go.
So three receiver leagues are definitely starting Chris Godwin.
Two receiver leagues, I'd be a little bit concerned.
All right, Mike Evans is going to play.
Sorry, T. Higgins. T. Higgins is the next one.
T. Higgins is going to be a game-time decision, that one just coming in.
Game-time decision against Seattle.
Dan, are you going to start T. Higgins if he plays?
I am, but I think the lead, or at least what I took out of this,
was him saying that this is an injury that's going to bother him all year.
And he needs what he said, multiple months to feel better and recover from it.
So he'll be playing through it potentially, but it's risky.
One bad hit and he's going to be in-game out,
which kills you in your fantasy lineups during the week.
Some Colts injuries.
Right tackle Braden Smith, center Ryan Kelly,
and two defensive tackles all mispracticed.
Three of them were for undisclosed reasons.
I don't know if that's an illness or what,
but that's something to keep an eye on there.
Up front, four injuries for the Colts.
Jacksonville expects to be without Zay Jones
and left guard Walker Little,
and David Njoku was back at practice.
He'll face San Francisco.
Check out Sportsline.
If you want, if there's enough, you know,
you know, enough enthusiasm for a baked burgers
or baked burger promo code, we can make it happen.
But, Jamie, do you have a Sportsline promo code? Dan, do you have a Sportsline promo code, we can make it happen. But Jamie,
do you have a sports line promo code?
Dan,
do you have a sports line promo code?
Which one should I give?
Should I give Heath,
Richard,
whatever.
Sure.
Use a promo code.
I think there's a Richard promo code or a Heath promo code.
And you get one buck for your first month of sports line.
After that,
it's only nine 99 a month.
I do believe,
um,
there's a one for coach
that's just coach
use coach too a lot of
promo codes out there but get on sports
line great fantasy content
not just from Jacob Gibbs but from Dave and
Jamie I don't know if Jamie's got stuff there but
yeah my DFS lineups go there every week
okay Heath as well
awesome stuff on sports line check it out
while Dan takes off on Fridays,
he gave me more work this season.
That is true.
He works 45 minutes on Friday.
Give him a break.
From Cheese...
What?
Unbelievable.
No off days, I guess.
No off days.
I can't take you seriously with that haircut.
From Cheesehead...
Oh, my God.
...in horse country.
I think, honestly,
the fact that you all said I look better
without the headphones, I'm taking off these headphones, Adam. I'm tired of the headphones. Fine, take the headphones out. Whatever I think, honestly, the fact that you all said I look better without the headphones,
I'm taking off these headphones, Adam.
I'm tired of the headphones.
Fine, take the headphones out.
Whatever.
No, no, no.
You want them on.
Cheesehead in Horse Country.
Dear Romeo, Julius, Hamlet, and Brutus.
Those are all characters from, or Roman characters.
It's Shakespeare.
Shakespeare.
I just want to let Dan do it all.
It's Game of Thrones.
No, I knew.
I really
don't think I can tell anyone. I don't think I could
appropriately express to everyone
how much I hated Shakespeare
in high school.
You were a theater major. Okay. I was, every time we had- You were a theater major.
I was, okay.
I was a theater major in college.
I was a theater management major.
I sold tickets at the box office.
I was not really a theater major,
but I do tell people that
because it is true and it's funny.
But Shakespeare sucks.
I just, like-
Whoa.
You shared that clip of,
who was it, Dante Wittner saying Dak sucks?
Dak Prescott sucks?
Yeah.
That was funny.
I don't like Shakespeare.
He doesn't suck, but, you know.
Most people didn't find that funny.
Most people hated that.
I thought he was wrong to say Dak Prescott sucks,
but nobody talked about that he actually gave good analysis after that,
that no one even considered.
But anyway.
It's true.
All right, here's the question.
I need a running back, a wide receiver, and a flex.
James Cook, Kamara, or Jonathan Taylor?
Kamara.
Kamara.
You start.
Puka, A.J. Brown, Devontae Adams, T. Higgins.
Give me one.
One?
Yeah.
PPR.
Puka, A.J. Brown, Devontae, or Higgins?
I'm going to go A.J. Brown, but I'm just not going to bench AJ Brown.
How do you have this decision?
I don't know how this decision.
I think you must have misread this.
Oh, it's eight teams.
Oh, did I misread it?
I'm reading it verbatim.
It's eight teams, though.
No, I think you misread it.
Your sickness is taking over.
Also, a flex.
Well, I'm not going in.
I think I'm going with...
I think I'm going to sit AJ Brown.
Adam, in the last.
You're playing Adams and Puka?
Yeah.
Adam, in the last 21 days, how many of those days do you think you spent sick?
21.
It's unbelievable.
Yeah.
In the last 21 days, Dan has taken five days off but said he's worked.
I got to say, I'm very thankful that my ribs injury more or less healed before I got COVID
because that would have been a bad combo.
What ribs injury?
Wow, you and T. Higgins.
Good job.
When I tore my ribs from coughing.
You didn't know about that, did you?
I didn't know about that.
You tore your ribs from coughing?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, my God.
This is the guy who thinks he's going to beat me in an athletic competition.
He's tearing his wrist from coughing.
Unbelievable.
You deserve to know about that.
You definitely deserve it.
I deserve to.
You're right.
Especially after you just called my haircut an albatross earlier,
like just laughing it off.
I knew it was bad,
but you made me feel way worse about it at the beginning of the show.
All right.
This one is from History Nick.
The subject is,
sorry, Adam.
Rough season for Adam,
who we all know is a Broncos fan disguised
as a Giants fan. Both his teams
are dumpster fires. Which Broncos player
will he be too high on next year?
Are you known as a Broncos? Is this because
of the Sutton thing? Well, Sutton
last year, Judy this year.
You were all in on Russ.
I was off the
Russ thing as soon as I saw the preseason.
He looked terrible. I was like, yeah, I don't think I can Why'd you stay on As soon as I saw the preseason, he looked terrible.
I was like, yeah, I don't think I can play. Why'd you stay on Judy then?
I don't know.
I just really like Jerry Judy.
I think he's a really good player, but maybe I'm wrong.
You got hit with the same thing in back-to-back years.
You're like Sutton and Judy.
Both were relying on Russ being competent.
Yeah, they're bad.
Does Judy get saved if he's traded to Carolina?
No. Does he get saved if he's traded to Carolina? No.
Does he get saved if he's traded to Kansas City?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know.
All right, this is from Joe in a suburb of Detroit.
Steve Smith killed him.
A trade was...
Honestly, I don't watch a ton of the talk shows,
but every time I've seen steve smith he's just
grumpy he's just a grumpy guy isn't he i guess kind of his thing i don't know if grumpy is the
word for it if i called grumpy yeah i know it's more just like he's just like what's a good word
for this jamie he's got an edge to him yeah he does have an edge yeah it's like one of my favorite things i used to do early in my career was uh anquan bolden used to have a charity event uh still does but used to
have a lot of prominent nfl players come to it um for his golf tournament and it was in a small town
in west palm beach called pokey if you want to know anything about the history of football go
look up uh football in the glades some of the the best players in NFL history have come out of there. And it's just the smallest little town, but just amazing talent.
And Steve Smith was at one of these things, and I probably talked to him for 45 minutes.
Just one of the best football conversations I've ever had.
Just unbelievable guy.
Okay.
Cool.
Good story.
So from Joe, I know that sounded sarcastic, but it wasn't. Someone traded Hollywood Brown, Brees Hall, and Anthony Richardson
for Chris Godwin, George Kittle, and the Lions DST.
The rest of the league thinks this trade should have been shut down
by the commissioner due to possible collusion,
but he said it isn't egregious enough,
even though this is not the first time a questionable trade
has happened between these two managers.
What are your thoughts?
It was Hollywood Brown, Brees Hall, and Richardson is not the first time a questionable trade has happened between these two managers what are the thoughts whoa it was hollywood brown breeze hall and richardson for godwin kittle and the lions dst
well it's a god-awful trade that's the start but the more important thing is there's suspicion
suspicion of collusion there's a history of it and the commissioner goes eh we're not going to
call collusion because this trade doesn't look egregious enough on paper.
Collusion is collusion.
If you have suspicion of collusion,
you need to look into that.
It doesn't matter.
And they're cooking a situation.
What are they going to do, subpoena their records?
No, but they're cooking a situation
where they're purposely trying to make it
not look that egregious so they can get away with it.
Why is this trade so bad, though?
Because Richardson's not-
Yeah, I'm trying to think about it in my head
because Richardson may not play the rest of the season.
Well, we hope that's not the case, but he's out for four games.
So basically you remove him and the Lions defense for me.
Who's as good as Brees Hall or anywhere close in that on the other side?
It was Brees Hall and who else?
It's Hollywood Brown.
If you take away Richardson and the Lions, then it's Hollywood Brown and Brees Hall for Godwin and Kittle.
It's a bad trade, but I don't know
if it's vetoable. Right, that's how I see it. No, it's not vetoable.
Nothing's vetoable without collusion. It's just a matter
of if these people are colluding,
that's when your problem lies.
Alright, this is from Gregalicious. Grade the trade.
I'm one in three, looking to spice
things up. I'm moving on from Garrett
Wilson and
Mixon. Okay, so he gives up
Wilson and Mixon
and he gets Pittman and Kelsey.
Oh, nice.
I like it.
Pittman and Kelsey.
Oh yeah, I love that. Pittman and
Wilson have basically been equals.
It's a B+.
Yeah, Mixon for Kelsey. I'll give it an A.
Yeah, it's an A.
And you know what?
He did this last week, so he just got 100-something yards.
Kelsey's blow up. Yeah.
All right.
Well, you know who's here.
Nope, that's the wrong button I meant to hit.
The fantasy cops are here.

Put Fantasy Cops in the subject line.
I must have gotten 15 Fantasy Cops emails just this week.
I mean, I get a lot.
That's a lot of commissioner problems.
All right, this is from Chris.
I'm the commissioner of a 10-team, fairly high-stakes keeper league.
Everyone in our league has become pretty good at fantasy football,
so in order to make sure the league stays competitive,
everyone stays active.
There's no collusion.
We made a rule years ago that if anyone in the league has an inactive player of any sort in their lineup,
they will take an automatic loss and zero points for the week
if they have an inactive player in their lineup.
Last week when Barkley was designated out,
he was left in a manager's lineup.
So I was going to have to enforce this rule
like I have had to multiple times in the past.
The manager did not mean to because he was busy.
Let me add his opponent got married that same weekend.
So I allowed him to let the league decide
by voting whether or not to enforce the rule.
Ultimately, it was voted to uphold the rule,
give him the loss and the zero points.
We see left Barkley in his lineup and was busy.
Now he is mad and currently starting
all of his lowest projected players
while benching ETN, Jacobs Cup, and Ken Walker
over Damian Harris and Dotson and others.
What should be done?
It's a dynasty league?
No, keeper league.
Because I'm confused.
Because if he's trying to tank,
you're helping him by taking him out.
No, this isn't a tanking thing.
It's just that...
But now he's trying to lose, though.
He's not...
Well, he's trying to lose out of spite.
He's just pissed off.
I mean, this...
This is stupid, Jamie, right?
Let him change his lineup.
He didn't do it on purpose.
Well, no.
You don't have to let him change his lineup,
but you give him the result of how the game played out.
Like, don't give him zero points
and just give him his points.
Give him a loss.
Give him a zero.
Right, give him a zero for Barkley.
That's what...
Sorry, you're right.
Give him a zero for Barkley,
but give him the points.
Well, he got a zero for Barkley. Just let it play out as it has. Yeah, right you're right. Give him a zero for Barkley, but give him the points. Well, he got a zero for Barkley.
Just let it play out as it has.
Yeah, right.
But don't give him a zero for the whole week for his entire team.
Right, you don't give him a zero for his entire roster.
If he lost, he lost.
If he won, kudos to him.
Yeah, man, I don't really understand this rule.
Giving someone a zero for starting an inactive player.
How is that a...
I mean,
he's,
he's the,
the person that is stuck with the inactive player is purposely screwing
themselves,
whether directly or indirectly.
Like this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
If it was now,
now this is an interesting scenario to flip it because we've had this
conversation with our dynasty league.
If someone is tanking and puts a player in their lineup,
that's anactive to purposely
get a zero because they're trying to tank how do you punish them that way i mean you give them the
win dan did that accidentally how do you give them the win that's funny no i just put an active player
in there and i got the win by the way yeah you suck but that was because you were facing the like
the legitimate team tank i can't tell if you're trying to compete or not in Heath's Dynasty League.
Me? No.
Yeah.
I know, and I'm winning games.
It's horrible.
It's horrible.
Congratulations.
You won in your Dynasty Leagues last week,
and you were trying to lose in both of them.
All right, next up.
Oh, those are only two of the guys.
I can't believe it's not better.
Jeremy, Mark, Kevin, and Darren.
Ooh, I know them.
I got it before Schneier.
Jeremy, Mark, Kevin, and Darren.
Jeremy, Piven.
Yep.
One of them's from the University of Miami.
The Jeremy.
There's no way that's right.
Jeremy spoke in class again.
I think these are Giants tight ends.
Oh, Jeremy
Shockey, Kevin Boss. Who are
the others? Mark and Darren.
Oh, Mark Bavaro and
Darren Waller. There you go.
I've been riddled with injuries.
Jeremy spoke. I have the least
points for and the most
Jeremy pivot and the most points against,
and I'm currently one and four in last place.
I was aggressive with waivers with my fab this week
to try and make up for the injuries,
but if I drop to one and five,
I'm contemplating fielding the most competitive team I can
with my guys each week,
and stepping aside and not bothering with waivers
and free agency moving forward
for the more competitive teams to have a better chance at guys.
If he goes to one in five, he's going to set his lineup,
but he's going to stop with the waivers, basically.
Is this good etiquette or poor form?
I mean, look, it's a nice gesture, but try and still compete.
Nice gesture to who, though? I mean, look, it's a nice gesture, but try and still compete. You never know.
Nice gesture to who, though?
I don't think it's bad etiquette, but I don't think it's good etiquette.
I don't think you're supposed to just stop playing the waiver wire
once you fall into a bad record.
I don't know.
I don't love this, personally.
You have no obligation.
I would still be competing.
Yeah, you have no obligation to the other managers who have better records
and one in five you're probably out of it
but you're not out of it
you're not really
yeah
Dan the type of dude
to always think it's an entourage reference
entourage
amazing show
this one's from Douglas it's a really long one here
from Douglas hey Joe, a really long one here.
From Douglas.
Hey, Joe, Mel, Jack, and Jack.
I believe those are Steel Curtain members he told me.
He put it in the email.
I'm not going to take credit for that one.
All right. At least you admitted it this time.
12 teams, I always admit.
12 teams.
I admit your haircut's really bad this time.
You Google so often and people don't know about that.
I always say when I Google.
All right.
12 teams, Superflex League.
Already existed when I joined last year to take over an empty spot.
So far this year, my team has been hit hard by the injury bug,
but I've managed to hang in with a 2-3 record.
And yet, after the week five games are finalized,
I log in to see I now have a record of two and eight instead of two and three. In fact, all records
now show 10 games played instead of five. I see that other league members have already commented
in the chat and it's assumed that the site, which is not CBS, had a glitch. Best I can tell,
the glitch happened sometime on Tuesday. Commissioner comes on the chat Wednesday and
says he changed the league settings on purpose to, quote, see how it would look to add a little balance to the league, end quote.
What he did was change a setting to add a victory or a loss for each week when a team scores above or below the median point total for that given week.
So my injury-laden 2-3 low-scoring team is now 2-8.
And it just so happens that his 3-2 team is now 7-3.
Other league members...
All right, Dan is pro.
Other league members came on the chat to ask that it be changed back.
They said it's not something that we agreed upon before the season started,
and it can't be changed mid-season.
Commissioner has many responses, including that, quote,
it's called balance.
The good teams will still
make the playoffs.
And, quote,
if a team scores
a boatload of points
and outscores 98% of the league,
they deserve a win for that,
end quote.
League members explained to him
that it literally changed
the rankings.
Commissioner responds, quote,
not really.
League members said
that it's a paid league
and needs to be changed back,
blah, blah, blah.
Also got a little, like,
juvenile where the commission says.
It always does.
It always does.
So I need to know two things.
Am I at all out of line to be angry over the situation,
even if it was just an experiment and will eventually be changed back?
And B, two, do I deserve to get refunded
and allowed to leave the league based on this?
I have thoughts on this
i'll start by saying you deserve to be mad and you are right that you shouldn't change in season what
are you laughing at jamie did i cut you i mean your your job is to analyze the questions so when
you say i have thoughts on this i hope so i have strong thoughts 15 times while i was reading it
of course he has thoughts on it i have have strong thoughts. Yes. That's what I should be saying.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Yes.
My thoughts are one.
You have every reason to be mad that a rule was created or a change was created in season.
Yes.
And it's drastically changing the standings or outcome or whatever.
Yes.
Having said that,
Adam.
Yes.
Having said that, this is what we call apex scoring.
I think it should be a part of every fantasy league.
Top six players, top six scoring teams each week get a win.
Bottom six get a loss.
There's a lot of reasons why I think it should be enacted.
But this is in addition to your weekly matchup, right?
In addition to your weekly matchup.
So you either go 2-0, 1-1, or 0-2.
The reason to add it is out of fairness
because you don't want to have the situation
where you score the second most points and you lose.
You also don't want to have the situation
where a team scores the second least points and wins.
That's not fair.
And it takes away some variance.
But what people don't realize the best part of this is,
because finally some leagues I have are using it this year it adds so much fun to monday night football there's
usually two to four teams competing for that last apex win they're in the fifth in points fourth in
point six and point seven and points going into monday night and it's a lot of fun to track like
am i going to get that win or am i going to get the loss so in addition to adding fairness it adds
fun that's cool so the commissioner is correct in trying to add this but he's incorrect in addition to adding fairness it adds fun that's cool so the commissioner is correct in
trying to add this but he's incorrect in trying to do it in season and i have in a similar league
where people are just annoying and they don't like change and so they didn't put it in
and i've been complaining about that all year because it's like i don't i just hate leagues
that are like oh change change i can't handle change. Like, change can be good, especially in fantasy football.
Things are created to make it.
And spoiler alert, the commissioner went back and changed it to the normal.
Of course, in season.
Institute it next year.
By the way, could Dan have shorter sleeves today, Jamie?
My God.
Oh, no, these are not short sleeves.
These are correct, normal.
This is what it would look like. Those are short sleeves. But look, you're playing into the stick of, you know, you want to are not short sleeves. These are correct, normal. This is what it would look like.
Those are short sleeves.
But look, you're playing into the stick of, you know, you want to show off your guns.
But as his hair got shorter, his sleeves got shorter, too.
So, like, everything's just rising up right now.
And how many times did you dry that shirt by itself on high heat?
Actually, the funny thing about this shirt, I used to love this shirt.
It's an amazing shirt.
It's two years old.
And it shrunk in the wash at one point i went to a i went to a
poker game with a group of friends shout out long island crew shout out drama free and i got roasted
for two hours for wearing what they considered the tightest shirt anyone's ever worn i still
love the shirt i didn't want to retire it but what you can't see is if dan stands up you see his belly button yeah okay you guys
right now but it's fine like 10 seconds ago or a minute ago i roast dan for his shirt and he's
defense no this is a perfectly appropriate shirt then he reveals the story it is actually not it
is shrunk and you already got roasted for it by your friends all right thank you for all
if he showed off the guns people would not look at his head. Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't blame him.
Real quick,
I'll tell you my,
yeah, there it is.
Short distraction there.
My haircut story.
So in New York City,
you can choose your price
for a haircut.
You want to go to some fancy place?
Go for it.
You want to go to a chain?
They have those.
You want to go to
like a little barbershop
with very unqualified people that'll cut your hair for $15 or whatever? You can find plenty of those. So that's where I went. I got a haircut. This guy was texting during the haircut.
Oh, wow. Constantly looking at his phone, not really paying attention to me. He slices my ear with the scissors.
Oh,
it hurt so bad.
I was bleeding,
not profusely,
but not,
not profusely.
Like I was bleeding pretty bad.
I first thought I was going to have to get stitches to make matters worse.
I'm like,
ah,
holding my ear,
bleeding into my hand.
He blamed me for it.
He goes, you moved.
I was like, I moved?
And the thing is,
I was kind of intimidated by this place
because it was seedy.
And I was like,
I don't want to get murdered right now.
I can't see you even going to a place like that.
I'm like you.
I get the same haircut every time.
I feel like anyone with a pair of scissors could do it.
But not this schmuck.
He's looking at his phone.
No, I did not pay.
And I did not tip.
And I just left.
But yes, that was...
You tipped.
You tipped.
You gave him the tip of the year.
Yeah, exactly.
But Dan, you will never get a haircut that bad.
I'm thankful to report.
All right, let's read some emails.
Fantasy Football.
Hold on.
FantasyFootball at CBSi.com.
Aaron in a tiny town in Iowa.
Council Bluffs.
I think it's the only town.
It's smaller than Dan's shirt.
Not that small.
It's not that small.
No, it's a perfectly appropriate shirt. Here's a small. No, it's a perfectly appropriate shirt.
Here's a story about how it's not a perfectly appropriate shirt.
All right.
Two running back, two receiver, two flex league, half PPR.
Would you trade DJ Moore straight up for Tony Pollard?
Would you try to package DJ Moore with someone else for Eckler?
DJ Moore for Pollard probably gets done right now.
You know, if there's a running back, the team that has Pollard probably gets done right now.
You know,
if there's a running back,
uh, the team that has Pollard has good running back depth and needs receiver and
vice versa.
So I don't think that's a bad one.
I'm on board with that too.
All right.
We've got an email from John wanted flex advice to flex 18 PPR.
Breeze.
So we need to Breeze hall, Calvin Ridley, Devante Smith, and Jacoby Myers.
Ridley and Myers?
Wow.
I'm not going to bench Ridley or Myers at this point, so I'm good with that.
I mean, just Hall going against the Eagles run defense could be a little bit problematic.
Hey, Dan, listen, when you're coming to Florida, we have to pack up my house because we're doing some renovation stuff.
Can you bring some clothes for my kids to wear?
I'll just bring them this shirt, and then they can become Mets fans.
Speaking of Florida, I have a bone to pick, by the way, with all of you.
I got bashed, and we'll make this quick because we've done a lot of this on the show.
More Florida bashing, okay.
What'd you say?
More Florida bashing. No of this on the show. I've got bashing. OK, what'd you say? More Florida bashing.
No, it's the opposite.
Oh, I got bashed the other day
for talking about
and mostly in defense of New Jersey,
which gets a lot of crap
because that stupid show Jersey Shore
where no one was really
even from Jersey was on that show.
It ruined our reputation.
But I got a lot of crap
for talking about how
I can go within five minutes here
and I get to a mom and pop shop
for Greek food, Italian,
Indian, all different cuisines.
And you're like, no, Florida has just as good food.
And yet this week, Adam, I told Jamie, I told Dave, I told Heath, I told, well, you're not going to be down there.
But I told the people who live in Florida and Fort Lauderdale, I'm coming down Fort
Lauderdale for a week.
I'm going to be there for a week.
I got a rental car.
Nights are going to be mine.
Anyone have some good food suggestions?
Anyone have some good restaurant suggestions? Anyone have some good restaurant suggestions?
I got nothing from these guys.
Supposedly, oh, you come down to Florida.
There's all sorts of good places.
And don't give me a chain restaurant.
I don't want to hear about a chain restaurant.
I don't like I'm talking about a mom and pop's homemade food store.
Yes.
And so, yes, I will.
I will.
The best burger that I've ever had.
Whoa.
It is not too far. It is not too far from the office.
Okay.
And I'm sure you can get some of the guys to go with you.
Georgie's Alibi, it's called.
And I don't know if they still have the same burgers.
I haven't been there in years.
But the Knockout and the Champ, you can pick which one.
One of them has a jalapeno cream cheese.
It's really not too spicy because I don't like spicy stuff.
Georgie's Alibi is the best burger
that I've ever had.
It is so damn good.
Yeah.
And also,
what's the place in Boca,
the burger place,
with the cowboy style?
You already gave me the best burger.
I don't want another one.
Charm City is another one
that's fantastic.
It's not Boca.
It's Deerfield.
Deerfield.
All right.
Yeah, great.
But do they bake their burgers?
Yes, they do.
That's the secret. All right. Back to the emails here. We'll give you some recommendations then. Okay, great. But do they bake their burgers? Yes, they do. That's the secret.
All right, back to the emails here.
We'll give you some recommendations, Dan.
Okay, good.
And I mean, you sent that email.
The first thing I said to you was, we'll go out to lunch.
I know, that was very nice of you.
And we will go out to lunch.
But I was just hoping, you know, get some names of places we all hear.
Oh, Florida, great for food.
I don't think you need to make any reservations.
So you should be okay.
Okay.
From Sean, 10 team.
Oh, by the way, Miles Sanders is out.
We'll talk about that in a second.
Cool.
From Sean, 10 team PPR Superflex.
I was offered this trade.
Give up in Superflex.
Give up Howell, Tyreek Hill, and Sam Laporta.
Get Lamar Jackson, Devante Adams, and Dallas Goddard.
Howell, Hill, Laporta. Get Lamar Jackson, Devante Adams, and Dallas Goddard. How will Laporta get Lamar Jackson, Devontae Adams, and Dallas Goddard?
1QB League?
2QB, Superflex.
I'm taking it for Lamar Jackson alone.
Yeah, if it's 2QB, Superflex, you have to take the Lamar Jackson side of this.
From Kenneth, Damian Pierce, Jonathan Taylor, or Amari Cooper?
Taylor.
Damian Pierce, Jonathan Taylor, or Amari Cooper? Taylor. Damian Pierce, Jonathan Taylor, or Amari Cooper?
Yeah.
Definitely not Cooper with Walker.
Definitely not.
Yeah, not Pierce either.
I guess Taylor.
From Nathan.
Two running backs and a flex in PPR.
Zach Moss, Kyron Williams, Montgomery,
ETN, Kamara, Waddle. Wow. All right, it's not going to be Moss, Kyron Williams, Montgomery, ETN, Camara, Waddle.
Wow.
All right, it's not going to be Moss, so pick two.
Kyron Williams, Montgomery, ETN, Camara.
Ooh, that's tough.
Montgomery and Camara.
I don't think I can bench ETN, so I'm going to go ETN and Montgomery.
All right, then give me two flexes.
Kyron Williams, Montgomery, ETN, Camara, W to go ETN and Montgomery. All right, then give me two flexes. Kyron Williams,
Montgomery ETN, Kamara Waddle.
Williams and Kamara.
Williams and ETN.
The four running backs. One flex, my bad.
One flex.
I'll go ETN.
Kamara.
All right, from John,
start three. Montgomery, Eckler, Pollard,
ETN. You have to sit one of these guys.
Montgomery, Eckler, Pollard, ETN. You have to sit one of these guys. Montgomery, Eckler, Pollard, or ETN?
Montgomery sits.
I guess I'm sitting Montgomery, but I could make...
Yeah, I'll sit Montgomery.
Actually, no, I'm going to sit ETN.
I was thinking Pollard, maybe.
I have not liked what I've seen from Pollard or that offense.
Yeah, but this is...
This should be a get-right spot.
Yes, it should be, yep.
From Rick, I have to drop either JSN a get-right spot. Yes, it should be. Yep. From Rick,
I have to drop either JSN
or Quinton Johnston.
Who do I drop?
Great question.
I would drop JSN right now
just because at least
there's a path to success
right away for Johnston.
I'll say this
with regards to that.
I thought...
The dynasty conversation we had. What are you laughing at? I'll say this with regards to that. Yeah, dynasty conversation we had what are you laughing at i'll
say this with regards to that yeah that was a funny way this is a little bit of filibuster to
get to in my head where i want to set where i want to talk about on the dynasty show this week with
matt wallman we discussed that situation with jsn and a good point was made about how those two
offensive tackles have been out and it's really led to a lot more 12 personnel which is two tight
ends and some 13 personnel,
three tight ends.
It's limited his possibility,
maybe coming out of the bi-week,
like,
cause the idea was they always did want to go to more of what,
you know,
comes from that McVeigh tree,
which is 11 personnel,
three receivers on the field,
let JSN eat.
And so I think I would actually keep JSN there.
Okay.
Uh,
next email after the emails,
we'll,
we'll get to miles Sanders.
I promise. Oh gosh. Oh the emails, we'll get to Miles Sanders, I promise.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, that was brutal.
Yeah, that's a Commanders fan controlling the comments.
He's right, though.
That's the worst part.
Yeah.
Dan is trying to be Shakespeare.
I don't quite know what that means, but neither does Dan.
I'll tell you that.
To be or not to be.
Not to be wearing that shirt.
Not that bad.
This shirt is not that bad.
This one is from Ben.
Hey, Tony.
Romeo, Romeo,
where far out there
will my hair go?
That is the bigger problem.
Tony, Troy, Danny, and Andy.
It's not Toy Story.
Tony, Troy, Danny, and Andy.
Cowboys, quarterbacks?
Yeah.
There's an Andy
in Toy Story, right?
No, in Toy Story?
Andy's the main kid.
Okay, that's what I thought.
I haven't seen it that way.
I've seen like,
I'd like to be more into Toy Story.
10-team PPR,
rank these waiver wire priorities.
Deontay Johnson,
Tajay Spears,
JSN,
Quinton Johnston,
Jeff Wilson,
and Tank Bigsby.
Wow.
Do you need somebody for this week,
or is this more of a long-term play?
I think long-term.
Because I think the long-term play
is probably TyJ Spears.
I mean, I got to, yeah, maybe.
But Jeff Wilson, I got to pick up Jeff Wilson.
Well, I mean, the second guy for me would be Deontay Johnson,
just because I think if he comes back healthy,
that's going to be six, seven catches a week, potentially.
And yes, you should drop Ferguson for some of these guys.
Jalen Warren.
I think I'd rather have Warren or Spears.
I think I'd rather have Spears.
Spears.
I would rather have Spears, Spears. I would rather have Spears too.
All right, from Craig.
I need to find a wide receiver for this week.
Michael Thomas.
Deontay Johnson, Michael Thomas, and Rushie Rice
are all available for week seven.
Oh, okay, this is a week seven question, sorry.
Deontay Johnson, Michael Thomas, and Rasheed Rice are all available.
For week seven and rest of the season, who would you choose?
And I think he might have to drop Tank Dell for one of them.
So I don't know if you should do that.
But Tank Dell is on a bye next week.
And he's not playing this week.
He's already been ruled out.
So if you're in a league where there's no IR spots and Deontay Johnson's been on the waiver wire,
I'm going to guess Tank Dell probably will make it on the waiver wire too,
or,
you know,
at least there's the hope of that.
So if you have to plan ahead for week seven,
drop tank Dell,
pick up Deontay Johnson and just hope that you can maybe get him back.
All right.
How about from Phil?
Hey,
Tommy,
Arthur,
John,
and Finn feels like a show Dan should watch.
Tommy,
Arthur, John, and Finn.
If I hear Finn, I just always think of Sopranos,
Meadows' boyfriend, but that can't be right.
I think of Glee, but I think it's Peaky Blinders.
Oh, I have heard that show's amazing,
and it's one of the rare elite shows I haven't watched.
Kate just said,
oh, no, that's not true.
Dad type of dude who kisses biceps
before he bench presses.
I don't even do...
The bicep is the one
area of muscle group
I don't actually work on ever.
Nice stretch there.
Very subtle.
All right,
grade the trade from Phil.
That is an actual stretch.
Gave up most...
That's what Sung said.
My niece could use
Dan's shirt.
Oh, my God.
Give up Mostert and Garrett Wilson.
This is the second time I've been bashed for this shirt.
I tried two different groups of friends.
I can't believe I decided to wear this game.
I guess I have to throw this shirt out.
I loved this shirt.
No, no, no, no, no.
Such a good shirt.
Give it to a five-year-old Mets fan.
It'll fit perfectly.
You should know that Jamie gave me two of his shirts
from when he was about 10 years old,
and I wear them to this day.
They fit me perfectly.
Phil said, I traded Mostert and Garrett Wilson for Devante Adams.
Mostert and Garrett Wilson for Devante Adams?
Wait.
It sounds great, but then Mostert still has some good time left.
I mean, I guess if you have running back depth, which no one has.
I would do this.
B plus.
I just, I wonder how much of last week was Devontae Adams' shoulder
really being a problem.
Interesting.
Yeah, whatever.
Like, I don't know.
I'm fine with it.
I feel like Adams is going to be awesome.
On paper, it's fine.
All right.
Which two would you want rest of season?
Russell Wilson, Justin Fields,
Matthew Stafford, Deshaun
Watson, Brock Purdy,
Jordan Love. Pick two rest of season.
Fields is an easy one.
Let me read them again for the audience.
Fields and one more.
Wilson, Stafford, Watson, Purdy,
Love.
Purdy for me. I would say Purdy although if
Stafford is going to look like he did last week
there's a higher ceiling for
Stafford
and that'll
be that's it for that all right we'll take a break when we come
back we'll talk about the Panthers backfield
against the Dolphins and read your YouTube
questions so get those YouTube questions, go.
Dan, the type of guy to say there's no good food in Florida
and then eat at Denny's.
That's not true.
I don't eat at Denny's.
No.
Moons over Miami.
Have you ever had a moons over Miami from Denny's?
No.
I don't think I've ever been to a Denny's.
Oh, it's so good.
It is so good, man.
It is definitely a good stop on the way home
from a night out yeah oh yeah nothing better all right we'll take we'll be right back nothing
better adam there's nothing like that kind of food that's what i'm gonna drive right now
you're the designated driver what do you mean oh you don't have to be drunk i'm just saying like
it's it's late you're in good mood. You're with your friends.
Those types of places are the best.
Way to spin it.
Way to spin it.
Great memories.
All right, folks.
Joe Petonio out.
David Njoku out.
Are questionable.
Tank Dell out.
No, nothing yet on the show.
All right, we'll be right back.
Get those YouTube questions in or comments about Dancer.
We'll be right back.
All right, everybody. Let's talk about Chuba Hubbard in or comments about Dan Sarah. We'll be right back. All right, everybody.
Let's talk about Chuba Hubbard.
Jamie, where do you think you're going to rank him?
I kind of already ranked him as if Sanders wasn't playing.
I just have to remove Sanders, so I put him at 23.
So low end number two running back.
I would start him ahead of Jonathan Taylor.
I would start him ahead of Jerome Ford, ahead of Rashad White,
ahead of Damian Pierce, that group.
I always get concerned about...
Oh, wait, before I get onto this random topic.
How about the Joshes and KJ Osborne?
Josh Palmer, Josh Reynolds, Josh Downs, KJ Osborne, or Chuba Hubbard?
The only one I would put Hubbard ahead of as of now
because Laporta has not been ruled out is Josh Reynolds.
But the other Joshes and KJ
I would start over Chuba.
Foreman or Hubbard?
Question from YouTube.
I would go with Foreman.
Yeah, me too.
Alright, if you guys have any Chuba Hubbard questions,
go for it.
He's only, last check, about 62% rostered.
Here are our YouTube
questions. Full PPR.
TyJ Spears
or Justice Hill?
You've got to go
with Hill for now just because he's
getting more opportunities. The one thing
I think that if you are in the Spears
camp for this week is
if the Titans are trailing
he'll be on the field probably a lot more. True. And so that could certainly help him. But I think if the Titans are trailing, he'll be on the field probably a lot more.
True.
And so that could certainly help him.
But I think if the Titans are trailing that justice,
he'll probably had some hand in it.
So I would lean toward him.
Okay.
Um,
trade hurts and Olave from a homes and ETN.
That's interesting.
I would do it.
It seems like you're in a position where you need running back.
So I would do it.
Yeah, I think so.
Just knowing that ETN's been fantastic so far.
Traded Garrett Wilson, Brian Robinson, Chris Godwin, Jordan Addison.
For Ken Walker, T. Higgins, and Brandon Ayuk.
10-team half PPR.
Oh, I like this a lot
feels like an A plus to me
actually yeah I don't know if I like it a lot
because I don't really know what I can expect
from T Higgins well let me ask you this question
which B Rob is it
it better not probably Brian Robinson
if it's B Jean then forget it then it's a terrible
obviously then it's a horrible trade but
assuming it's Brian Robinson
I just think this is
like Kenneth Walker and Iuke alone I don't know if there's any Obviously, then it's a horrible trade. But assuming it's Bryan Robinson, I just think this is...
Like Kenneth Walker and Ayuk alone,
I don't know if there's any player from the other side
I like more than those two movie corps.
Yeah, do it.
Do it and let the English see you do it.
But it's so lopsided that maybe it is Bijan Robinson.
What an amazing reference from you just there.
I used to be able to do the accents, but...
What's that from?
My favorite movie, Braveheart.
What's that?
Okay.
Pierce...
I've never seen it.
Non-PPR.
Is this a trade or...
Pierce for Stevenson.
I don't know if that's supposed to be Pierce or Stevenson.
But who do you like rest of season?
Who do you like this week?
Stevenson this week.
Yeah.
Rest of season is a great call because how bad are the Patriots going to be?
The schedule lightens up for both of these guys.
I think there's more touchdown potential for Pierce,
so I would lean that way.
But it's close.
I know Dan has to leave now,
so you can leave whenever you need.
You can answer this last question from David A.
Which two rest of season?
Bad haircut, tiny shirt, or picky eater?
I'm not a picky either let me make
that clear david i eat everything so i will try this the snail the rabbit that adam said he wouldn't
eat i would eat all that i eat everything i ate it i just i just like quality food okay and i like
homemade picky it's snobby eater snobby's fine if you want to call it that i'm okay with that
even i don't agree with it i'm okay with it i just like quality and i like mom and pop's homemade food not just chain crap i don't mind
if you if you um if you come to florida and eat at let's say one of each of the recommendations
dave will give you yes you will never fit in that shirt ever again
uh now she had before i before i get out here can i get a grade the team name
because adam always says oh dan's not creative he doesn't have a team name okay i got brock purdy in
a lot of leagues this year i played a lot of super flex so one that i've gone with in multiple leagues
and i didn't see anyone pick it yet and and that's the other thing adam used a lot of team names that
he already found online and just like copies them found a lot of his own original idea yeah that
happened false uh no i'm kidding know. I'm just joking.
Obviously.
I hope people understand that.
But mine that I thought,
I think I came up because I don't think anyone had it is pretty,
pretty good.
Not bad.
Right.
Adam,
I got a team name for you.
I'm going to grade it.
It's an a plus.
Okay.
I can leave on that note.
Goodbye.
I'm going to give you the team name.
You sing it.
Ready?
Yeah.
Hold me closer.
Tiny shirt guy.
We already left or I would have.
No, sing it.
No, I cannot do that today.
Najee Harris or Chuba Hubbard.
Rest of season.
Oh, still Najee.
A half point.
I need a running back and a flex.
Barkley, Pierce, Hopkins, Devante Smith.
Devante Smith would be the receiver, so the flex.
And if Saquon plays, I'd play Saquon over Pierce.
Yeah, well, if he doesn't play, it's Pierce.
Brian Robinson or Devon Achan, rest of season?
Wow, factoring in the four games missed.
You ain't got to go Robinson just to be safe.
But that's the thing, unless I miss something, I don't know that it's four games.
Right, no, that's the thing.
It's a gamble.
Yeah.
But if you, you know, like, so I made one offer for A-chan.
I forget who I was trying to acquire.
I'm not sure.
I don't remember.
But it got rejected.
And then the counter was Javante Javante Williams for HN.
Oh,
and I was like,
no way,
no way.
Like would you trade Damian Pierce?
Would you trade HN for Damian Pierce?
In that league?
I would.
Yes.
I mean,
here's the thing.
If you do that though,
just that specifically,
you don't want to start Pierce this week and he has a buy next week.
Yeah.
That's the thing you got to take into account.
Like,
you know,
so in the,
in the,
I have HN in two leagues,
I think at least two. And one is four four and one and one is one and four,
the one in four,
one I'm desperate to trade him the four and one,
one I'm desperate to keep him.
Right.
Okay.
Uh,
Hollywood Brown or Deandre Hopkins.
I would go with Brown this week.
Garrett Wilson or Alexander Madison.
And PPR is close. I or Alexander Madison? In PPR, it's close.
I'll go Madison.
Colin wants a quarterback upgrade. Who's the best wide
receiver you'd trade for Lamar Jackson?
No, we would not trade Chase. We would not
trade Cup. Would you trade
any of the other guys? Puka, Olave,
Kirk, or Gabe Davis for Jackson?
If you can turn Kirk
into Lamar Jackson, I would try to do that.
I would probably go as high as Olave.
I would leave the other three alone, unless you just want to
alleviate the problem of having the two Rams.
It may not be as great as we saw
last week. I wouldn't be surprised,
but it just might be a headache that you're dealing with.
Yeah, but don't trade Kopp.
Do not trade Kopp. Do not trade Chase. Those two
are off the table.
Chuba Hubbard or Josh Downs? We kind of said table. Okay. Chuba Hubbard or Josh Downs?
We kind of said that earlier, but Chuba Hubbard or Josh Downs?
I'm going to go Downs and PPR.
Jamie, the type of dude to whistle while he organizes his sock drawer.
I like to whistle.
I'm a whistler, so I might be doing that.
Yeah, he is a whistler.
I definitely whistle while I work.
Also, if you ever are around Jamie,
don't give him a clickable pen.
He clicks the hell
out of the pens,
right?
Don't you do that?
You like click the pen?
Oh, I,
so I always,
I'm usually like
fidgeting with something.
Right now,
I have our
St. Jude clip
in my hand,
the magnet.
So I'm constantly
like tapping the magnet
back and forth.
Like if you hear,
I do this a lot.
And then I also have,
always, you probably see me like reach for stuff all the time.
So when I redid the setup, I have one of the little
wrenches here, I think, I forgot what these are called.
Are those Allen wrenches?
I think so.
And I play with that all the time.
I'm always fidgeting with that.
And then also, these are little things we plug in
for our microphones.
So these little things.
So I always have the little knob thing,
and I'm always doing this a lot too, so you probably hear this from time to time. That's a quarter inch.
Yep. Yeah. Okay. Brian Robinson or Andre Stevenson. I didn't hear what you said,
but I think I know what you said and I'm ignoring it. Brian Robinson. I would go with Robinson.
Josh Downs. Do you hear that or do you hear this right now yeah i did all the time i don't know how you've never said anything i wouldn't hear it unless we
were totally silent and listening for it downs or rashad white uh downs all right uh A few more here. Deontay Foreman, Kenneth Gainwell, or Tajay Spears?
Foreman.
And Rashad White or Tutu or Amari DiMarcato?
Oh, if there's no Keontae Ingrams, easy DiMarcato.
If there's, I'd probably still go Rashad White.
So DiMarcato or Rashad White. Tutu is going to be touchdown or bust, I think.
Last one here.
Let's get a good one.
Zacherts or Dalton Schultz?
You ended on a great one.
I'll go with Schultz.
Debo Samuel or Gabe Davis?
Davis.
Okay.
Phelan or Ayuk?
Phelan.
All right.
