You know, some trips are just better when you can really unplug. Spend time with family, see friends, or hit the course with the guys on our yearly golf trip. This year, me and the boys stayed in a home on Airbnb, which happened to be a guest favorite, and it was right on the course. We could walk straight to tee off every morning, and it was just a short stroll to the local shops, bars, and restaurants. Staying in a place on Airbnb gives you plenty of room to spread out, cozy living areas to hang out in, and all the privacy you need. Staying somewhere like that makes everything feel more like a home than a hotel, and you get a real feel for the neighborhood. I'm already planning on how to go bigger and better next year. Luckily, there's so many options to choose from on Airbnb, so whether it's family, friends, or golf getaway, my biggest tip is to check out Airbnb, check out their guest favorites, which are the most loved homes on Airbnb, and you'll be amazed at what you find.

Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath. It's bailback time. Happy Friday. If you're watching live live live later, please leave something in the comments, leave some starter, some questions in the comments. to fantasy football today, presented by BetMGM, Make it Legendary. You know, one of the guys in the chat says, this is going to be the best mailbag ever. I'm kind of feeling that because Dan's here.

I know he's got some stupid Thanksgiving take like about food. For example, Dan, yesterday or Wednesday, I guess it was, we talked about our ideal plate of food, ideal Thanksgiving dinner. I like to know yours. I'm sure it's going to be completely controversial. So, The first thing I did this year, which was the first time I'm ever doing it, I just completely skipped white meat. And it was an amazing decision. Usually I'll just chuck a little on the plate. Then I'm like chewing through it. I'm like, why did I even eat this? Like I'll pour some gravy on. It's a little bit better. But it's when full dark meat, our family cooks like flank steak, which is amazing. Or not our skirt steak, sorry. It's like a marinated skirt steak. I went for a lot of that.

That goes fast. But I think the best dishes on Thanksgiving are the side dishes. I really am strongly believing. But my brother's wife made this cornbread with veal in it. It was so, I mean, not cornbread, this stuffing with veal in it. It was so freaking good. The mac and cheese was amazing. And then the crown jewel for me on Thanksgiving is the sweet potato thing, which I got to imagine has like loads of butter and sugar in it because it tastes so good with the marshmallows on top. That's always my favorite thing.

So that's my plate right then. That's it. Yeah, I was pretty good. I don't put any vegetables on it. I don't do the, I don't do the disgusting cranberry mold. I just look at that thing. And I'm just like, do I really want this on my. plate. I'm sure it tastes good. Honestly, it's just like sugar and cranberry, but do I really want

that on the plate mixing in with stuff? It just looks mold. It just looks gross, doesn't it? I think this was, that was really good. You were on the bottom. No white meat, though. That's it. I'm done with the white meat. What's the point of it? It's terrible. It's much better for you than the dark meat. Who cares? It's Thanksgiving. What are we talking about here? Jamie's here as well. And it's been a, it's been a fun, uh, it's been a fun week. I, uh, I use breathe right strips on Thanksgiving to maximize the food arobas. That's a good comment. That's a good comment.

One of these days I'm coming back with that no strip on the show. Good. All right. So listen, so we're going to read your questions. YouTube email at fantasy football at cbsi.com, Apple Podcast. I'm not sure about Spotify today. We'll try. The guy who usually gets me the Spotify questions is off because it's Thanksgiving.

You need a guy to give you Spotify questions? Yeah, I do actually. What does that mean? There's an account that has access to them. I can. And you don't have access to that account. And you don't know by now. You've been on this podcast with us. You've done your own podcast with Adam. Like, Adam gets spoon fed everything. It's true. It's true. I get spoon fed nothing. Only the Spotify questions. That is it. Everything. Spood fed nothing. Okay. And we need you to vote. Let's do it. Let's go right now.

The 64.com spot the best sports podcast and radio show. We're on the top right bracket. We're in a heated battle right now. We thought we were bottom right. Top right. Top right. Oh, but we're the 710s, the 710 game. Whatever it is. Let's look for FFT.

Just vote for us. I really want to win this one. Let's go, baby. Let's do it. All right. There are a lot of great podcasts. This should have been the final championship. Yeah, us versus the footballers.

Yeah. You know what's funny? It's not just fantasy football, though, right? Like I saw like many. No, but we are the two best podcasts in the history of podcast. There you go. Someone said to me on Twitter. I posted something last night, Thursday night,

say, hey, vote for us, whatever. Someone responded with, well, the footballers already promised a 64-minute mailbag if I vote for them. I'm like, dude, we do that literally every single week. Oh, Dan, that might have been the best comment from Dave. He said, if we win, you'll do a 64-minute mailback. He's like, yeah, dude, we always do that. He's like, it's that long.

I'm like, yeah. All right. Anyway, I got a couple news items. So first, let's get to some YouTube comments here. Bench one. Cortland Sutton, Debo, Samuel, Marvin Harrison, Jr. and Michael Wilson. And the news was that Marvin Harrison Jr. apparently look good. So I think we should plan on him playing.

And Trey Benson is out, by the way. But Sutton, Debo, Marvin Harrison, Jr. or Wilson? I'm saying Debo. Matchup-wise, I like the decision to sit deep. I just, you would think you want to sit Michael Wilson with Marvin Harrison Jr. back? I don't. I'll wait and see. He looks so good on tape.

I'll keep him in my lineups and I'll sit debo too. I think just, again, the positive for the Cardinal situation is that we've seen two receivers. Do well. Greg Doris has got 15 targets in two games. It's not like he's been just producing because of a big play or something. I know the two games ago was garbage time, but still 15 targets for Michael Wilson can still be really good. Do you remember Marvin Harrison Jr.? So seven and a half times?

Marvin Harrison Jr.'s stat line in his last game. It wasn't great. One of the two wasn't great, but he had... Did he leave the game early? No, that was four games ago. Okay. His most recent injury was appendicitis. But he had three catches, 33 yards, and a touchdown on 12 targets.

That was at Seattle. The game before that, he was probably the best he's ever looked, just destroying Duran Bland on Monday night football. All right, May is on a buy next week. Would you start Tua versus the Jets, Berset versus the Rams? Love versus the Bears, or Lawrence versus the Colts? Jordan Love. Without seeing how Lawrence looks with Thomas back,

I would probably lean towards love, but Lawrence could be fantastic, even in a tough matchup. I think Preset could be good, too, because I think the Rams will score enough points. Preset's going to throw maybe 40 times again. They're all interesting. Yeah. Sutton or Franklin this week. Franklin is the smarter play just based on what the targets have been.

But I think this is a sudden week. So I have them back to back. Be safe and go Franklin. I go Franklin and PPR, full PPR. 64 minutes of Who Has More? This is Johnny Airport. Would you just, oh, this is, yeah, this is a. Watching Adam have to come up with questions of who has more for 64 minutes.

That would be worth watching, just having me, you having to do that. Believe it or not. And I'm not saying believe it or not, because I'm not. that's a segment. But believe it or not, who has more was one of the hardest segments for me to produce. I could not think of good who has more. All I needed to do was think of eight of them for the, what, wait, what day was that Wednesday, Wednesday show? And I really struggle with it. Do you know that, no, it was a Tuesday show. I did the Wednesday show. Do you know that, um, right? No, I don't think it because Tuesday would have been waiver wire.

Yeah, no, I did the way Wednesday show. You did Tuesday. I did Wednesday. Dave did Friday. This is our CBS Sports Network last year. Do you know the, I miss hosting our daily FFT show on HQ. The most painful thing that I ever had to do was name that player. Tough. But I did that every week. It's not easy. All right.

Devante Smith or wait to see if Marvin Harrison plays and if he doesn't play Michael Wilson. Devante. Devante. Okay, yeah, because we think Marvin's going to play. Devin Neal or Parker, Washington? I would go Neal now with Thomas Beck. Okay. And you got more touches with Neil.

It looks like it's standard, at least we don't know. So, for sure, I'm on a Neal. Falcons DST or Dolphins DST? Falcons at the Jets, Dolphins against the Saints. I think I'll go Dolphins home against Tyler Shuck. Yeah, you can go that route. I like them both. And again, you get two weeks out of the dolphins if you want.

Quick question for you to. Survivor, down to started with 8,900 people. I'm down to 423. I have two options this week. Dolphins at home against the Saints or Jaguars on the road against the Titans. Where do you lean? Always go home and never division. Dolphins.

What are playing for something? something. Dolphins are three and two in their last five. I guess they're playing for something. Yeah. I mean, I do it with a friend and he wants dolphins, but I'm leaning Jags because I feel like they just need it more.

Jags, gosh, they, I mean, they're a terrible, they don't win convincingly. Never, right?

But they win. Here's the Dolphins. No, the Dolphins blew out the bills. They blew out one other team. Yeah. They beat Washington in overtime. They blew out someone else recently.

I had this weird feeling. Like, they're coming off a bye week, the dolphins, and they're just like a team that doesn't really care about the season. They're just going to be lack of days old. This is what I would do. I would look at the dolphins after a buy under McDaniel and see what they've been. I like that. That's smart.

A few more here. There you go. I have Justin Jefferson on my bench. You can answer that question that you just posted. What was the question? Oh, AJ Brown, Devante Smith, Justin Jefferson, and Troy Franklin. Pick two. and a flex so three oh i'll sit one then jj is justin jefferson um i'm probably sitting

franklin unless you want to split up the eagles then sit devante smith i i don't know i guess i can see that i just feel like playing both of those eagles receivers in this cold it's so cold outside in this cold windy game it's not going to be what people think it is I'm going unders in that game but I don't know who I bench of those two

AJ Browner Devante Smith that's the problem I'm not apples are out for the bills I'm not benching Justin Jefferson

I want to see even though it's Seattle I want to see Justin Jefferson with Max Brosmer I have a weird feeling

Max Brosmer Brossmer okay whatever Dalton Kincaid limited today okay

so that's it for YouTube for now thank you everybody for your questions we will get to more of them later. Yeah, not a ton of news.

It's going to be coming in throughout the show. But again, Marvin Harrison Jr. looking good right now. Trey Benson out. Jamie, Demarcato or Devin Neal? Demercado? Bam Knight or Devin Neal? Yeah, I'd go Neal.

Okay. Bam Knight or Zach Charbonnet? I'd go Bam Knight. I only bring this up too, because I just thought of this and I've been thinking about it all week because Jamie always uses this as a barometer of where we're at. Adam, did you ask Jamie about

our two matchups last week in fantasy? I played Jamie in two different leagues last week. They were beat down. It's like 60 to 70 point wins. Yes. The two leagues where you're significantly better than me, you beat me down very badly. So listen, I got to say something because you know, you're saying I'm spoon-fed stuff

but I'm not spoon-fed this. Who said that? Jamie's, I never said that. I look at the comments. I read emails. I got to tell you, buddy, people hate it when you brag. You should not do this right now. Just stop. I have to keep assuring people, Dad is just playing a character. You don't know me if they think that's serious.

That's crazy. Yeah, they should know better by now. They should know better by now. They should know better by now. It's fun to have fun and rib a little bit on the show. I agree. I agree. It is fun, yeah.

All right. And if it doesn't, if it affects them, I'll do my best to stop. bragging even though it's all fun act but if you want no fun dan you can find no fun dan i'll be no fun dan i can find a way to get to access no fun dan okay nfti we love them okay is there something else you wanted to add or you just wanted to get that in there i just needed to get that in there all right anybody gonna gonna think about uh downgrading josh allen without his tackles at pittsburgh uh no you're still starting yeah you still have to play him i don't i don't think you just have to hope that they can get have a basically design like that quick game type

access to the passing game that we've seen the chargers do it's not a great weather weekend as dan was alluding to so it's not bad though the worst one according to kevin roth right now is san francisco at cleveland could be pretty windy winds around 20 miles per hour gusts up to 35 so that's the worst one and that's your weather update and it's time for football folks at betmgm, register with betmgm to get instant access to the best variety of parley selection features, no sweat and boost tokens, live betting options, and much more.

Place your

Anyway, Michael Wilson, Jalen Waddle, Trevion Henderson, and A Mecca, Abuka. Who are your two favorites there? Michael Wilson, Jalen, Waddle, Henderson, and Abuka. Waddle and Henderson are my two favorites there. I would put Wilson there if Harrison is out, though. over who oh yeah yeah i thought we i guess we don't know yet yeah if we don't harrison's out i like

wilson more but over who henderson yeah yeah so it would be wilson and waddle yeah okay and then i do not like igbuka with if baker's not playing at all not better than those guys josh allen i almost said drake may and then i went drosh josh allen or drake may four point for passing touchdown. Allen. Okay. Yeah, I'm just not going to ever bench Josh Allen if I have Josh Allen on any team, any matchup.

And you do have Josh Allen on a team. It's your Bakeberger Dynasty League, which is 11 and 1. You did that. Not me. You did that. I'm trying to retire the breaking. That was on you. Rod Z from North Carolina wants to know Brissette or May, and I'm playing against

the guy that has Marvin Harrison, should that matter? I would go May over Brissette, and that should not matter. Yeah, no. It's May. Okay. Giant seasons. It's a great matchup. This email is for Dan.

Okay, it says, dear Clarence, Joe, Emil, Steve, and Leon. Clarence, Joe, Emil, Steve, and Leon. Am I supposed to know that? No, I couldn't get it. It's the bad guys from the original Robocop. Extremely random. You think I've seen Robocop? Yeah, no chance.

I barely even know what it is. That Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was Robocop? Schwarzenegger or no? What was the name of that guy? Like a Schwarzenegger type? No, what was his name, Jamie? Or something, one of those. No, I'm trying to tell you, no, it's not one of those, like, action guys.

Who is his, Jamie, what was this guy? Peter Weller. Oh, that's a great call. Peter Weller played Robocop. He says, this email is for Dan. I usually agree with pretty much every take Dan has, but he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to the Beatles and Ringo Star. The reason why it seems Ringo isn't.

great is because he is so good that it seems simple. Go watch the Beatles anthology on Disney Plus. Watch Ringo and you'll see how great he really is. I have respect for that take. I mean, it might just be so simple. It's good. That is, because like, for example, the drummer in Blankana's name, the drummer in Krungben. He's so simple. I think that people, I've read online, like, this guy's the best. He's always in the pocket, whatever that means. I don't really know, but I follow along. My Ringo was like in addition to the take. What it really comes down to what the Beatles is, I don't think they play the guitar very like as good as like the all like great play guitar players in the history of

guitar so like to me like rock is mainly guitar it's other stuff too there's ancillary pieces that are important but there's just much better guitar out there like i just don't know how i could think that beetles are the best to ever do it again top 20 i give them top 10 probably one one no not one yeah all right well i think they're like kind of like bart star and you're You're talking about... We just don't know them that well? Well, no, it's just they played a different game than the Rolling Stones and all that. You know, they were of a different era.

Not that much before, but they were a different type of band. All right. Okay. Yeah, they're like the Bart Star, and then you're kind of talking about the Joe Montana's, and they're kind of hard to compare. All right, we'll take a break. Montana didn't have good armed talent. System quarterback. Just kidding.

Just kidding. You know what? When we come back, I've said a lot of crazy things. I had a lot of bad takes. but I'm going to defend one of my takes when we come back on fantasy football today. Ready to level up, Chumba Casino is your playbook to fun.

Have you guys seen the new season of Lamb Man yet?

No, I'm still in the first one. You did or didn't? I'm halfway through the first season. Okay. It's, okay. going to say anything it's great right so fun it's so fun demi more so good in it so i'm gonna defend the take now i said before the season started i got crushed for this okay and i got to just said it in the heat of the moment that caleb williams is the best arm in the nfl i really think i remember when you said that i really think he is the best arm in the NFL i've watched a lot of tape

the ball gets out of his hand and to the receiver faster than any quarterback that i've watched Caleb Williams has the best arm in football So I think it's a good debate It depends what you're talking Are you talking about velocity Strongest arm And also ability Don't say best arm

Because I think arm talent Which is what I try to define it as I once had an interview with Trent Dilfer Who had a great breakdown of this It's the ability to change trajectory pace Like these are things that are not Really good for Caleb Williams right now If you're just talking strongest

Arm velocity-wise it's either Caleb, Herbert. I'm trying to think who else would compete with those two. No, no, definitely not Mahomes. Definitely not. I feel like Mahomes. Velocity, definitely not Mahomes. This version of Mahomes,

what's left of his arm, definitely not. I think Mahomes shows it sometimes. But if you're talking about like a just think, just judge it on and I know what Adam's talking about watching a lot of more tape for the, on a radar gun on it. Yeah, radar gun. You could put a rigor.

I'm just talking about run the dig route, the 15, the 12-yard in-breaking route. That ball that Caleb puts on those 12-yard in-breakers, Mahomes is not throwing with that kind of velocity on that throw. Herbert Williams, who else? Allen, I would think you would have to say. Allen, they just don't let him do it anymore, but when he used to throw those in-breakers and the old,

in the Dable offense, when Dable is there, yes, Josh Allen, it's those three. Who else? Stafford, Stafford, I see that in the comments. That's another good. Stafford still has that same level velocity. If you're going to discount Mahomes and still give Stafford, they're crazy.

Stafford has much better velocity on his throws than Mahomes. You're saying that Mahomes doesn't. If Mahomes wanted to dial it up, he'll dial it up. I think that's like he can, but they don't really have those throws in their offense. That's a fair point. They don't run that. So in that system, they don't have a lot of those throws. But like, there are some times where he has to throw over the middle of the field,

it's not the same velocity. He doesn't do it consistently. It's effortless for Caleb. Unfortunately, it's pretty much every throw. It's like he doesn't. And by the way, I'm not tripping TM 40. too, Mars. I know Mahomes has an amazing arm. It's obviously not what it was. I was the original Mahomes guy. When he was talking about as a third round pick, I said he should be the

first quarterback in the class. Look it up on my Twitter. I have receipts on this. So just you can go look it up. I'm one of the Giants to take him. His arm attack was the best I've ever seen. His arm now is not, doesn't feel the same as it was. But Mahomes, I would say, still has the best arm talent because he can change trajectory and touch and put different type of pace on the football. But we're just talking about pure velocity. That's all Adam is talking about. It doesn't look the same when Mahomes is throwing a 15-yard dig as when William sticks

it right on the receiver. Williams. If he's accurate. And sometimes he makes these throws like on the run across his body that just no. Yeah, that's crazy. But Rogers, by the way, still kind of has that too. People are saying it about Lamar. Rick May deserves in the conversation as well.

Lamar is a really good arm. Lamar, I wouldn't put Lamar if just talking. straight velocity. But the other thing is, like, it also looks faster for a player like Williams because he throws such a flat ball. That's not necessarily a good thing. It's a much, it's not easy. Receivers talk a lot about how it's easier to catch up. Like, when Russell Wilson was in camp, all Giants receivers are raving about him because there's no hitting and there's no pass rush. And it's just throwing those moon balls up and it drops right in. But like, you want to have some trajectory and touch on the ball to make it to make it easier for the receivers. But Williams kind of just

rips it right in. Yeah, he does. Okay, so I have a moral dilemma. We'll get back to the questions, but I have a moral dilemma for the fantasy cops, guys. Someone sent an interesting fantasy cops, and they attached screenshots of the text messages between him and the commissioner. And it gets pretty heated. And I asked him if I could read the text messages on the air. And he said yes, but I don't know if I should do that. It feels like a- Of course you should. It feels like a violation of this other guy who's not involved. It's no idea. And I'm going to read his comment, like his text, his personal text.

I don't know. What do you think? I think he'd do it. Okay, I'll do it. All right, back to the questions here from Anthony. Dear Fitzgerald, Bird, and David. That's good. All Larry's.

Larry's, yeah. Not hard to figure that one out. I started Amon Rae St. Brown and Jemir Gibbs. And now I'm in the risk of getting cut in the guillotine league. Who should I flex? Woody, Marks, Bucky Irving, D.K. Metcalfe, or Michael Pittman, full PPR. Marks. Yeah, I'm going marks, too.

I mean, just say marks. All the wrong defense last two weeks without DeFarst Buckner's not been the same. Okay, from Justin, I need help in non-PPR. Give me your two favorites here. Jalen Warren, Quinshan Judkins, Chargers starting running back, Tyrone Tracy. Remember, it's non-PPR. Judkins, Charger Starter, Tyrone Tracy. Judkins, I'll start with.

Is it going to be the names again? Yeah, Judkins, Jalen Warren, Chargers running back, Tyrone Tracy. If it's just won, Judkins for me. It's two. Non-PPR. Yeah. Jalen Warren is my favorite by far. Yeah, it's Warren and Judkins.

But Warren is in non-PPR. Yeah, Warren and Judkins for me. Okay. Who's your second, Jamie? Warren is first. Judkins will be second. Okay. Full PPR, pick one.

Kenneth Gainwell. I'm already playing Jalen Warren. Kenneth Gainwell or Quentin Johnston. Johnson, if you already have Warren in your lineup. I'm actually playing a lineup with both Steelers running backs. I think in PPR, there's opportunities for both these guys to be 12 plus points. Yeah. Philosophically, I don't mind in a situation like this where it's Quentin Johnston is your other

prior as your other choice. Locking up the Steelers backfield because probably one of them is going to have a good game. Maybe both. Yeah. But at least you're taking a step to not ensure,

but come closer to ensuring at least one of those two guys that you're starting is going to be good. Well, yeah, go ahead. I mean, you want to have two good players in your roster or not. Of course, but I don't.

Right. Like if Quentin Johnston were Justin Jefferson or something, I would go with Jefferson. but Quinn Johnston is too scary for me. I don't really want to be. I mean, they may have the same amount of catches,

Gainwell and Johnston. And Johnston will probably do more with that, but there's also the potential of what we saw from Gainwell last week, minus the touch push play. Take that out. Right. That was fluky. He still scored 12.7 p.p.R points without that play.

True. And you are playing Buffalo, which has been so bad for, so bad. Yeah, the matchup's great, too. Yeah, I see it. Can we make a pledge from this point on? as we enter each fantasy offseason, we give our advice.

We will respect and appreciate and take the value when it's there on any Arthur Smith run game, any options in any Arthur Smith run game that get devalued. John Warren was not drafted high. This guy just produces run games over and over and again. He did it in Atlanta.

He's doing it again in Pittsburgh. People score. If you're running back on his teams, they score. He figures out, he's got great blocking schemes, and he just designed, run games that work. I think the reason why Jalen Warren was not drafted high was because of Caleb Johnson.

It wasn't necessarily. It was we were of the belief that they spent a second round pick on Caleb Johnson. And I know for me, like I like Jalen Warren slightly better, but I wasn't saying you got to go get Jalen Warren early because of Caleb Johnson's presence. The problem with Arthur Smith is he loves committees, but he does get good production. But then we're at the point of this season right now. We can start both of them and be fine. Well, they're so different. All right.

A couple more here. The point is going through the running backs are such a big part of that offense. This is Mike from Buford, South Carolina. Bucky Irving, Quinshaw Judkins or Cortland Sutton. Pick one. What's the format?

I don't know. Judkins is probably the safest. This is not a ratty t-shirt, Adam Lee. It's just not ironed well. I don't listen. Why bother showing split screens and all to see his dance huge traps and a silhouette of a ratty t-shirt?

It's not a ratty t-shirt. Oh, all right. Jamie's saying, Judkins. Okay. It was Jenkins or who? Sutton or Bucky Irving. Yeah, Jenkins.

Just out of curiosity, I googled quarterback velocity ratings to see if there was any. Yeah. But what is it from? The Combine? Laffable. the first name that came up.

It probably Mahomes, but like I'm Mahomes, or no, Baker. Baker throws the velocity, too. Laffable, the first name that came up. Andy Richardson? You're so far off. Teddy Bridgewater? So far off.

Just do it. I mean, when is this? That's so dumb. Dylan Gabriel. That just doesn't make sense. Top QBs by throwing velocity. Dylan Gabriel threw a ball at 74.9 miles per hour at the Senior Bowl,

potentially breaking the NFL Combine record. Then it has Jordan Love to be the fastest throw ever recorded in NFL history, 61.9 miles per hour. Mahomes is third highlighted for 62 mile power throws in game situations. Josh Allen, 62 miles per hour. J.J. McCarthy threw a ball at 61 miles

power at NFL combat. I was going to say it's at situations where they mostly measure it, but I mean, I obviously have Mahomes and Allen in there as as game stuff. I don't know how they're going. They're just taking some from games,

some from Combine, but the Gabriel thing is laughable if you just watch. I watch the tape. Of course. Because it makes sense. All right. Here we go. Last email from Dan.

It says a stadium is a building. It has a roof. But in an open air stadium, the roof only covers a portion of the seating. I think what you were viscerally reacting to is this. The real question, in my very honest opinion, is the field in the building? The field is essentially a glorified, enclosed court. Is an enclosed courtyard in the building? A fully enclosed courtyard is considered in the building,

but it changes the question to something a little less straightforward than is a stadium a building. I can't wait to hear you flip-flop on this one. Yeah, I think stadium is a structure. I don't know if it's a building. I just don't know. I feel like buildings have roofs. I feel like buildings of roofs.

It's all? I don't think so. I don't think a building needs a roof. I think a building needs a walls. to be a building. Okay. All right. We're going to do some fantasy cops.

I want to thank everybody for fantasy. By the way, there was a comment, I think, Adam Lee, I forget the whole name, that said Dan Marino is the Velo God. Yes. Dan Marino at 60 would throw the ball faster than half the guy. Bill and Gabriel. Dylan, he was shot out of the fast in the NFL, according to this random metric that we're using. I was at, I want to say LaGuardia, and I was getting a bunch, and Dan Marino was one,

table away from me. And I worked for CBS at the time. And so did he. Or maybe he had just stopped. Now, I don't think he did anymore. And I did not have the gut. He was by himself. I did not have the guts to say anything to him. Same thing happened to me when I was visiting you guys in Florida and I was at the same hotel as Rick Spielman and he was a table next to me. And I really wanted to talk to him about NFL GM stuff and just not have the guts to do it. That's the weird one because Rick was working for us at the time and was doing a show that day. Yeah, that's why I was there. Like, we were in the same hotel they put it in the same hotel i'll tell you why though i i didn't think he was gonna like not want to talk i just felt like he was like trying to he's like a fat

he ate fast wrapped it up got the check and like got out of there i feel like he was this wanted his alone time and like i didn't want to bother him in his moment yeah no that this stay with marino yeah i used uh so david and i used to do our show sunday mornings from new York and then we would go watch games with the NFL Today crew, the old, old NFL today crew, which Marino was part of. So I remember my favorite story, you know, I grew up the biggest Dan Marino fan, so it was the best situation for me ever. So I remember sitting next to him when Cam Newton broke the rushing record. I think it was rookie rushing record or most rushing touchdowns in a season, maybe I think it was, his rookier. And I look at Dan, I said, do you remember how

many rushing touchdowns you had and he looks up and he's like thinking about it for a few minutes and he looks over at me goes do you think i give an f no way it was the funniest and most perfect thing like he didn't need the timing on that is so good i mean he was laughing you know he wasn't trying to be mean to me it was just like like if he's like i'm like was he actually thinking about it was just thinking like i'm just going to pause for a second he's just pausing for delivery yeah it's so good it was so perfect Oh, that is great. That's so cool.

That's awesome. Dan, if you could, if you could, you know, later in life work with your childhood hero, who would it be? Your Dan Marino. Eli Manning. Eli Manning. Yeah, for sure. Eli Manning.

And my friend actually, his son is at the same school as Eli's son or something is going on where like he's playing football on weekends and he gets to see Eli. So I'm like trying to nudge him, like get him on the podcast. I thought it's not going to happen. You never know. All right. We'll take a break. Come back with the fantasy.

Fantasy cops will be reading people's private text messages after this. By the way, Johnny Airport again, he said that I don't consider a stadium to be a building, but I do consider a doghouse to be a building. All right, fantasy cops. He's not wrong. Yeah, right? It's so good. This one's from Andrew.

This is unbelievable. Unbelievable. I mean, unbelievable. Okay. I have an issue with my league's commissioner. There has been an inactive team in our league that had not paid league dues until week 11. Once this inactive team paid in week 11, the commissioner added themselves to the inactive team and started making lineup changes and roster moves.

What? Hold on. In week 12, after that suspect action, the commissioner made a trade with this inactive team. The commissioner sent Ramandre Stevenson and Jared Gough from Bejel Toonan. Vlad McConkey. The trade would be okay if only the commissioner wasn't in control of both teams. FYI, the commissioner is in first place and the inactive team is a long shot to make the playoffs, but not yet mathematically eliminated.

Is this behavior normal for fantasy football? What should be done about teams who don't set an active lineup? And what should be done with my brother, my expletive brother, who is clearly overreaching as commissioner? It's his brother We didn't hear that part It doesn't mean you really save that one for the end This is the worst one we've ever had

This is the worst one we've ever had This is the worst one we ever had Oh my gosh I almost don't believe it's real But it probably is It probably hold on Just so we get the whole big picture of this The brother of the commissioner

Is writing this email Apparently, yes The commissioner decided So wait I was look confused Wait until after they pay or didn't pay? Made them pay and then took over

added himself as co? Once they paid, then took over. Yes. It makes no sense. Got you. All right. So first off,

this person can never be the commissioner ever again. I think you've got to reverse the trade. This guy can't be setting lineups for people, though, either. So we've had this come up before. If someone's inactive and you notice it early this season

and you start doing it, then you got to do it throughout the course of the season. Right, yeah. And that person that's inactive, that person you kick out without question. but if you're just doing it like at at random points in the season that's not fair because everybody has to have the same advantage yeah one week he likes the match he's like all right well i need to be that guy let me let me make some match this is essentially the commissioner is just

playing two teams it's unreal he's playing two on i've never seen it before he's actually it's it's crazy he's such a good chance to win oh man it's so good um he said is this normal no not only is it normal it's an outlier you may be the only in the only league where this has ever happen probably yeah okay so that that's obviously insane behavior thank you for this hilarious fantasy cops okay next one is from aaron in windsor ontario canada it says hey there hannibal murdoch templeton and bosco jamie that's uh the 18 the 18 i play in a series what you say what movie is the 18 come oh my god it's a mr t tv show and a movie and a movie yeah but Mr. T wasn't in the movie, right?

That was like a newer movie, right? No, it was a... What was Mr. T's deal? He was like a tough guy or Hannibal. Yeah. What was... What was... What was...

What was Mr. T? Okay. Okay. Pause, fantasy cops. Dan is asking about Mr. T. And this leads me to believe that you have never seen any of the Rockies. What's the Rockies?

The Rocky movies. Oh, my God. Oh, no, I've never seen any of the Rocky movies. What I've seen... I've seen Rocky one. No, I've seen... Of course I've not seen that Rocky movies. The only movies I've seen...

have seen or like it's again never seen rocky no no i haven't seen rocky do you have a desire again i would see all of these movies i'm sure they're great they're great but no i have not seen adam put them in time out for 64 seconds a lot of these you're gonna be surprised i haven't seen honestly rocky yeah actually i don't know why you're surprised at this rocky is that's the more that's the more surprising man yeah dude it's a sports movie and it won best picture rocky it's an incredible movie yeah but it's takes place in Philadelphia. There is nothing still to this day that gets me more fired up than when Adrian says in the hospital.

Yeah, yeah, don't tell him. Don't tell him, but. No, wait, don't tell him. Yeah, somehow it hasn't been spoiled to me. Go, go do a, do a marathon, man. But one of the worst ones is the one with Mr. T. It's not that good. I'd rather just like land, the new season of Landman.

It's, it's the third. You're watching Landman before Rocky? Oh, yeah, of course. I always watch TV shows. I'm a TV show guy. One, two, five, three, one, two, four, three. You know, actually, someone asks Dan seen the Goonies. Somehow I've seen the Goonies, but I haven't seen Rocky.

This is crazy about true. This is great. Anyway, I play in a series of Scott Fishbowl theme leagues, all the rosters. All of them have the rosters and the scoring from the Scott Fish Bowl, but they are each in a different format. One's recap. Sorry. Once redraft. One's Keeper.

One's Dynasty, et cetera. I commissioned several of the leagues. Blah, blah, blah. So we play 12 weeks now and assume that all. all the leagues were set up properly. But this week in the Dynasty League, which he is not the commissioner of, we realized something was set up wrong.

Sam Laporta was dropped by a team that's out of it in a dynasty league. We have no idea why. That isn't a problem, though. Where it went sideways is that instead of a two-day waiver period and then him becoming a free agent, which is standard in most of our leagues, we realized that in this dynasty league,

there was no waiver period aside from the one that locks players after they've played. So, long story short, Leporta was dropped at 11.30 a.m. And when waivers ran at noon, he was picked up by the only manager who saw that he was on waivers. The late drop and the lack of a waiting period

made it impossible for anyone who was working a day job to see that Leporta had been dropped, leaving him with only one manager to scoop Sam Leporta up in this Dynasty League. I think it's insane that Dynasty League doesn't have a waiver drop period, and the commissioner admitted that it was a mistake. He then stated that the mistake would have to be voted on in the offseason.

Can this league really allow Leporta to be had for free on waivers? Or does this league changing oversight need to be fixed? I think this league changing oversight does need to be fixed. The integrity of the league is at stake here, in my opinion, at least. You have a player as good as Sam Leporta from a dynasty standpoint, just hitting waivers for a matter of hours and whoever was lucky enough to see it, gets it? That's terrible. It's just nothing good about it.

I agree. Yeah, go ahead. This is not a player that should be getting dropped in the Dynasty League. Oh, yeah, that's a problem. You should probably say, did you mean to do this? And what if he says yes? If he says yes, then that's the second part comes in. If he says yes, you try to trade with him right away.

This is probably a mistake. I don't know. I would probably just, I don't know what I would do. So he gets dropped at 1130. waivers run at noon. Only one person even saw the transaction. This person was around his computer or phone or whatever. You can't penalize the person for not.

He didn't break any rules. Yeah. Lou Porta guy who dropped Laporta or the guy picked up Leporta. The guy who picked up Leporta, Jamie. Yeah, but it's not penalizing him. It's just correcting a wrong. But it's not correcting a wrong. This is what the way that the league was set up.

Yeah. It has to be in the office. You can't take it away from now. People agree with you, Jamie. Mel Bailey says, is wrong everyone has the same opportunity to review the settings beginning the season i totally understand that but there's times where there's just leagues like not as serious as ours in mel Bailey like us three and you probably feel that way because we take these leagues seriously i don't

maybe just a fun league for friend what do you mean you i don't feel that way in fact i feel that even though i do take leagues very seriously i never review waiver wire settings that's true i would never it would never even occur to me that a player i just assume they're set up right Yes, exactly. Exactly. I don't think it is on every player in a fantasy league who has a lot going on in his or her life to read the freaking details of the league when something as simple as a player gets dropped, he shouldn't be available 30 minutes later. Right. We just know that from playing fantasy. This is an obvious mistake. I would put Leporta back on the team that dropped him. But I know that's not necessarily consistent with some of the other things I've said on fantasy cops. But in this case, no, I cannot allow this one manager to get Sam Leporta because he was available in a way that should never, should never have happened. And no reasonable fantasy player would expect Laporta to be available in that situation. I'll tell you what, though, I would be on the text chain with, on a text message with that Sam LaPorter manager, the original Lapporteur manager, trying to just pick apart the rest of that team. You can do good job. You can do good work there.

Let me tell you. All right, guys. Let's go to our next fantasy cops. And it is from Michael. It's the one with the text message. That's the last one. That's the main event. All right.

You know what? I'll skip this one from Michael. because it's... No, no, you can't do it. It's really not that great, though. But, okay, it's actually good. It's actually good. Our long-running work league

has an interesting dilemma. About four weeks ago, I noticed a strange difference with Malik Washington's point totals versus how he scored on another full PPR site. So upon investigation, it looks like the commissioner

accidentally set kick return yardage to 0.1 points per yard at the beginning of the year. When we started to uncover the mess, we realized why teams with Turpin and MIMS's flexes were doing so great. One member of the league, let's call him Kyle, was outraged and demanded that the commissioner fixed this mess.

So since none of us thought it was that big of a deal, the commissioner went in and corrected the mistake. No. He removed the return yard points. No. And it flipped some members win-loss records by two to three wins. Wow. That seemed outrageous.

So he went back and fixed it. And because of this, Kyle quit the league. To add insult to injury, I picked up Chimari D-K and now likely have a league-winning wide receiver who in most leagues would be at best a bench guy. Was there a better way to handle this clear mistake but was in the rules if anyone actually read them? What do you think?

Kyle's stop being a baby. Otherwise, see you later. Yeah, everyone's pretty pissed at Kyle in the chat here. Yeah, it's not looking good for Kyle. I mean, obviously we're managers that were paying attention to it and taking advantage of it. Yes, yes. And it actually is, Chimira Dike is on pace to break the all-time, all-purpose yards record, which is crazy. Yes, beating Darren Sprouls out.

You know, I wish there were a way to make the fix in the settings without it retroactively changing the scores. Right. But it doesn't appear that there is that way, which is a shame. So it's tough. And even then it's tough because you could say that, Adam, but then people, made roster moves based on the scoring and then it doesn't seem like anyone it doesn't seem like anyone noticed no you just said that what you mean people notice people have these guys yeah turban the flags and they're killing it people obviously did notice and take advantage of it but then why would they

should be penalized for making roster moves they wouldn't have otherwise made and then losing out on potential bench stashes and things like that okay i would imagine at any point in the season from basically week two on that when you go to your stats page to pick up players that was reflected in the players have been performing differently. Yeah, the projections are going to be totally. And especially sounds like, if not Kyle, whoever sent this email in, was aware of that

because of Malik Washington's scoring difference in different leagues. Right. There's a great tenacious D song. It just goes, last week, Kyle quit the band. Do you know that one, Dan? No, I don't really. Now we're back together.

It's a great song. All right, that's it for that one. That's a Jack Black. man, right? Yeah. Let's read some, some private texts. Okay,

fantasy cops from Ian. He says, 12 team keeper league made a deadline trade with the commissioner on Friday. The commissioner waited until 12.51

p.m. on Sunday to process the trade. He did not inform me he had done so. I, of course, did not notice until after the lineups locked and asked

if any of my running backs could be put into the empty slot. I didn't care who. I just wanted a complete roster. The commissioner freaked out, lied, threatened to boot me without refund, and called me a pile of names in the league chat. Was I wrong to ask for a lineup change? I've attached some screenshots of the dragging I took in the group chat.

I'm sorry. So he says, I'm sorry. My understanding was that the commission has the ability to alter lineups after. game starts. I googled it, and it gave me that being an option. Anyway, blah, but he says. Then the commissioner writes back, you made the trade, so I processed it. I processed it. Processed it. Again, not my fault. I did what I was supposed to do. You are supposed to check your roster for injuries before kickoff, right? Or you want me to monitor that for you as well. Didn't realize I was babysitting your roster based on your work

schedule. What was I thinking? And he says, nah, nine minutes before game started without as little as a heads-up is shady. I'm over it. I'll add someone else, blah, blah, blah. What? And he says, he says to the commissioner, you are insufferable. I'm not even remotely trying to run my mouth.

And then the guy says, you need to look in the mirror bud. It gets really nasty. Read it. You need a look at none. I read a little. No, it's just out of order. And then Ian, our emailer, says,

nah, dude, you're totally in the wrong. Commish says, nope, sure I'm not. Like, not even one. 1% in the wrong. Keep going, though. And what, like, what is this? A group of friends or is this just like a group of online? I just want to understand this. So the trade was made on the, on the league, but the commissioner has a process it. Yeah, yeah. Right. It was made Friday. And the purpose purposely processed it and sit nine minutes before kickoff. But, right? I don't know how this works on other sites,

but on our site, even if the commissioner does not process the trade, it still will say trade has been accepted pending commissioner processing it. So was, his name is Ian? Ian is our guy, yeah. So was Ian not aware that the trade was agreed upon? No, he knew the trade was agreed upon. He just didn't know when it was going to get processed. And then bam, nine minutes before kickoff, which is four minutes before we have to set our

lineups, the commissioner processes the trade and doesn't even tell him. And the commissioner's giving him a hard time for not checking. Right. And so then he wants to change his lineup with the trade. He wants to get the players he traded for him. He sent an email, just said, I have an empty roster spot on my starting lineup. Can we just put one of my running backs from the bench in there? Because the commissioner has that ability.

And the commissioner went off on him and threatened to kick him out of the league. All right. This commissioner sucks. He said, FYI, the commissioner said, I don't need this bleep on my day off. He's two seconds away from getting kicked and no refund if he keeps enough. Got enough to deal with right now without putting up with crap over nothing. Guys in last place at 2 and 9 And keeps running his mouth

What the I'm like I got so many questions here Is this a league of friends Or just like online people who met And want to play in a pay league They wouldn't all exchange text messages This is great

Let me read this last one Commissioner says Go look at your roster you whiner It was fixed Never again will I do that for you You want to make a last minute trade Pay attention to your bleep Not my problem

Hold on that. Not my problem to alert you that your trade went through at all. And then Ian says, I'll send this into the fantasy cops. See what they say, L.O.L. And the commissioner is going to get dragged. The commissioner says, again, you have me confused with someone who cares what you think or say. It's not fair to anyone else that misses a deadline. But because you didn't see it, we should fix your lineup. Man up and better yet, grow up, dude. This commissioner sucks.

I mean, I'll drag him. I don't care. I'll go over a little further than that. This is one of the worst people I've ever encountered in Fantasy Cups and the history of me being a part of fantasy football today in CBS. I think this guy should not only be removed as commissioner, should be kicked out of the league, potentially out of your friend group. I don't know how long you guys have been friends. Yeah, I know, right. What's a jerk.

He just genuinely doesn't seem like a good human being. I'm just going to be honest about the situation. I wouldn't want to be friends with that person. I just don't know why you would be. I don't understand the approach of and the wording up. It's not my job to notify you of the trade going through. Yes, you're the commissioner. Like, you should say, hey, by the way, I just processed our trade.

Is there anything that you need to have done to your lineup because it's four minutes before. Right. Am I bad? I forgot to process the trade on Thursday when it went through. And now I waited three days. I screwed up as commissioner by waiting until 12-51. I'm the one processing it. Obviously, I know I can change my lineup.

Do you want these guys in your lineup? Of course. Yes. Pucci's uncle says he should hang out with Kyle. I mean, clearly this guy doesn't care about being dragged by us, the fantasy football cops, which is fine. Good for him, for living the life he is. He clearly, like, living in one of those situations where it's like,

my world, you're just all living in it. But, like, why would this guy be the commission of your league? That's the thing. Like, clearly you guys are interested in fantasy football enough to be on a text chain and sending it into the fantasy football cops with CBS sports. So there are multiple people in your league can take over his commission. This guy's out. I think he should be out of your league in general.

And I would debate just being friends with him for the rest of your your life. I don't know if he's worth having in your life. I think he probably listens to our show. So I feel a little bad here, but I don't feel bad at all. He's wrong. He's wrong, man. The only thing I didn't hear the text messages, I might have felt bad. There's only one way I would feel bad about this. If he didn't vote yet. If he voted, then I'm sorry. We know who he's voting for now. All right. Thank you all so much for the fantasy cops.

I read this three days ago, and I haven't gotten my answer to you. I cannot figure out what to say to this.

I know what it is for me. What is it? Literally getting to do this show. That's 100% my favorite thing about this job. It's not, it was not supposed to be like what I did as part of my job when I took this job and moved over from the NFL team as an editor there to the seat to the fantasy team as an editor. But thank you to Adam and Jamie for getting me on this show. And it's expanded to other shows. And it's not just this specifically, though the mailbag is my favorite part specifically, but it's everything for F50.

I'm big fan of this. But other than that, I would say it's Draftathon. I just, those are the two things each year that I get most excited about. draftathon is rewarding in a completely different way just another level mailbag is the least favorite thing about doing this job no no people really gave Aaron Andrews a lot of flack for what she said did you see this yeah oh oh this is why this question yeah I saw that she's complaining about having to work holidays and stuff I don't know if she was complaining she just mentioned that she misses like having holidays and I get

she was just being she was being honest and she was relaying what one of her producers said to her or professor, excuse me, said to her prior to taking the job. And look, everybody's jobs are different. Everybody's lives are different in the jobs that they do. Every job comes with pros and cons. You know, there are things that you should love about your job and hate about your job. You know, to answer your question, Adam, I probably get the most Shataki mushrooms about, sometimes it looks like I don't want to be here. I get that a lot. and that, like, I'm disinterested or whatever. Like, this is the best part of what we do. And I'll sit there and stare at the comments. I think you guys are hilarious.

Our audience, I think, is the best part of what we do. Agreed. You know, from, you know, we highlight Johnny Airport a lot, but there's just a lot of funny stuff that goes in their conversations with each other. And the things that they say about us, this is my favorite show that we do during the week, just because I think it's hilarious about the stuff that, that happens. You know, fantasy cops and just the questions and just the tangents that we go on, you know, like my favorite shows, my favorite shows aside from this one are our night shows. Whenever we do those, like it just, we get, we get silly and it's fun. But I mean, like, you think about some of the things that have happened in the history of our show, this year included. Like, I mean, from Dave's with the, with the sun to the sun thing is so good, you know. The shirt. Dan shirt, your shirt. The HW, you know what.

Yeah. By Star Trek shirt. Like it, and it's like, you know, I'll send, I forget what it was that made me laugh. Oh, and we started the show by accent, you know. When just now? No, we didn't realize that we were on a couple of weeks ago. Oh, yeah, that was weird. You know, like I showed that to my wife and she's like, I don't get it.

I'm like, just keep watching, you know, and then eventually she lasts. But like, you know, there's things that just happen here that even unless you're part of our community. Like, it's hard to explain. It's just so fun. Yeah, the mailbag is my favorite. Not nice. And I don't, I also miss holidays, you know. I don't, don't criticize anyone, you're like,

I have such a great job, whatever. It's okay for Aaron Andrews to miss holidays. And I miss them too. Like, I don't really get to go with my two years ago, my entire family and my cousins, they all went on a vacation over Christmas and I couldn't go. And it sucked. Yeah, it's okay.

Could you have worked from there? I don't think so. I would have to work like in a hotel room. No. Yeah. I don't, I couldn't like that mixer and everything. My wife takes my kids camping with my in-laws every Christmas break and never go. Yeah, it stinks.

But it's okay. I mean, there's plenty of great things about what we do. And I think the fact that our audience has, has, like, started fantasy leagues amongst themselves is really cool. Yeah, that is really cool. I like that a lot, too. The community is the best part of this. Two news items. Heath really, this is Halloween.

That's a great comment right there. That's good stuff. two news items here Jackson Darts going to I hate when I miss a show like I drives me crazy you do hate missing shows yeah Dexter Lawrence we haven't really talked about this but he may not play for the Giants on Monday

but Mike Kafka apparently believes he has a chance to play and Baker Mayfield is trending toward playing so yeah he mentioned earlier in the week like he doesn't feel much pain with it it's going to be interesting though like will he play through the whole game or will it be like a thing where we get an injury in game it's I wouldn't start him in any leagues personally. I'd start him in Superflex and two KB leagues just because you're...

If you have no other option, yeah. Scraping the bottom of the barrel, but yes. All right, but are you going to start Baker Mayfield over Tua? No. I'd start Tua. C.J. Stroud against the Colts? Literally everyone over, over. For me, it's literally, I just, A, there's the risk of him not finishing the game.

B, they haven't, he hasn't been good for fantasy for a while with his injuries at receiver and the way he's playing. You're not going to start Shed her. I will not let you start Shudur Sanders over him. Okay, I won't start. That's fair. I can start him over with Daniel Jones, both dealing with injuries. I mean, yeah. Oh, Daniel, did you see the practice reps of Jones?

Yeah. That looked like scary bad. Yeah. You know, I noticed when he was running, even before the Chiefs game, but like the Chiefs like he just looks slower, so much slower than usual. Like, and now we probably know why. Yep. But also it's like he can't plant off of it and throw.

It's, it's not good. No. All right. So we don't have any other Apple podcast. To be 100% honest with all of you, Thanksgiving week, we have the fewest questions. I'm actually surprised that we're doing a 56th. It's going to be plus hour plus show. We have very few questions Thanksgiving week.

People just are not caring as much. We'll bounce back next week. But we do have chat questions to get to. I wouldn't say not caring. Busy. Yeah, yeah. Definitely, definitely busy. This was probably our best fantasy cops ever.

You think so? my favorite fantasy cops ever easily that was one of the most insane things i've ever heard too of them we got two two insane stories oh the first one about his brother and i wish you could have seen the word he used to describe his brother i couldn't read it on the air it's his own brother so let's read some is there anything in a fantasy league that would cause you to lose a relationship with a family member no i don't play fantasy with any family members i don't either uh all right here we go to the Apple, to the YouTube comments. Drake May or Jalen Hertz in two hours?

I would probably go May. May for sure for me. Can you get Kerry Gold at Starbucks? He saw me yet today. Look, I didn't have much time. I wanted like a sugary drink. I went to Starbucks. I went off my diet.

This is a no diet weekend. I'm just letting it rip. I have leftovers. I have a huge thing of leftovers. I'm excited to eat today. Let's see. Show us the fridge. We won't do that again.

Come on. You want a quick peek inside the fridge? Of course. I really, I don't. There it is. You can't see anything. Yeah, it's too far. That's too far.

That's probably for the best. All right, question from Ryan. Has Dan given us his Adam impression yet? I haven't heard it. Yeah, no, I haven't yet. It has to be on a mailbag when I do it. It's not going to be this week, this bag. I got to work on it.

I got to go to the, like I said, I want to watch the tape, grind the tape. I know like some things I'm going to add to it, the shoulder up thing, the high-pitched voice when you need to get it in. And, you know, we need a setup too. Like, I want you to play the role of Jamie Adam. So you'll do your Jamie impression and I'll do my impression. You'll say something like that cuts deep like at it. What did he say earlier today about you not doing a lot of work? Oh, yeah.

You know, Adam gets the spoon fed to you. Yeah, yeah. You'll be like you get the exact, the spoon fed comment. That really, I knew that cut deep. Like I saw the look at a really ridiculous Congress. I do all of my own research. So I basically. So I really was-

Thomas did all that for you. Thomas, no, I do all my own research. You're serious? Like what? I always get the emails from Thomas with all the research. And then you just forward them along to me. Oh, get the hell out of here.

All right. Next question. When Dan plays tennis before, He brings My Morning Racket. Oh, I love that. Yes. That's awesome. My morning racket.

Who has the best arm, Adam, Dan, or Jamie? It can't be me. Oh, no, definitely not me. It might be Jamie. I don't know. I can't throw football well. I bet, I throw like a thousand pitches a week and it's my arm's dead.

I like tore something here in my rotator cuff like six years ago lifting weights on a bench press with the machine and I just can't throw anymore. It's terrible. Like, anytime I throw football, it's embarrassing. We played Thanksgiving football yesterday. My two cousins are like six and ten. And it's like, I won't play auto quarterback. So I have to actually get out there and run some routes, which is even more embarrassing.

You call it auto quarterback? Well, we have like one auto quarterback. We used to call it official QB. Official? Yeah. Not auto quarterback. Thinking about my friend Josh, really young, running a route and running straight into a tree. A huge tree.

Oh my gosh. We were probably eight to 10 years old, something like that. He was just running. He didn't see a common. No, it was huge. He ran straight into that thing. Those trees are elusive. You can't, you don't always see him.

Jaden Higgins or Justin Jefferson, PPR. Come on. Jefferson. Yeah, that's Jefferson. Adam live streaming from a beach on vacation and complaining about sand and everything would be awesome. Oh, you complain. That's your thing. Like, you complain about being on beaches because of the sand.

I don't think I've ever. done it on the air but just so you all know yeah i can't it beach is way too sandy for me oh you're one of those people who just can't like enjoy it bro the sands in your toe like that's the beauty of the beach like not worrying about so much worse with kids oh my gosh all the like the the car gets so messy in the bags and the it's taking your kids to the beach is uh stress stressful you're basically larry david yeah when it comes to the beach you ever see him on that episode it's so funny All right, Bucky Irving, I haven't seen that. Bucky Irving, Devin Neal or Romo Dunesay, pick one, half PPR.

Oh, you said Rome? Yeah. I don't trust Bucky. Neal's got the most volume, but Rome's going to do more with it. Rome's fine. Oh, all right. Jane Daniels is out. Terry McClearn will play.

We'll play? Yeah. Yes. Wow, he's back. I don't think that. Jaden Higgins, Debo Samuel, Brian Thomas, Jr. or Michael Wilson? well i go wilson especially if harrison doesn't play if harrison plays

well probably still wilson yeah how does bucky affect how does baker affect bucky a lot i mean bridgewater offense is going to be disgustingly bad in my opinion and maybe it'll look better with a week to prep that arm looks shot to me he has no mobility he's not big it looked ugly like i i don't know what they can accomplish with him at quarterback i don't really know why he's in the league I'm surprised he's their backup quarterback.

I am. I'm very surprised. He was signed like a week before the season. All right. So based needs a big boom week here. Do I go with Woody Marks, Alec Pierce, Chimray D.K. Or Brenton Strange in standard scoring. Marks for the for the highest upside probably, right?

Standard scoring, I'd say, yeah. Yeah. But I mean, if you get a big. D.K. or Pierce touchdown, that probably saves it, but I don't know if I want to trust Pierce against the Texans. DK might be interesting against Jaguars just because of that secondary. So if you need the biggest boom, to me it's DK, but Marks is the safest. Pick two, if Olave were out.

Bucky Irving, O'Mary and Hampton, Tyrone Tracy. I mean, we don't know if Hampton's playing. If Hampton plays, I would probably go Hampton and Tracy. You know, I did the most rookie mistake. It's a count for Bucky. We just don't know what's going to happen. I did the most rookie mistake in one of my important leagues this weekend. So I want to make sure no one does it.

So I'll put it out there. If you're having these weeks, especially the Thanksgiving week, where there's three games on Thursday and then one on Friday before the Sunday games, just really do a good job of making sure that the players that you are playing in those games for the Thursday and Friday games are in your wide receiver and running back spots and none are in your flex. I made the mistake of leaving two in my flex. Now I have a lave sitting in my receiver role. with no receivers left on my bench. So I'm going to have to cut someone important

to, like, put in a player if a lobby doesn't play. Just don't make that mistake again. Don't be me. Yeah, no, definitely don't be damn. It's general good life advice, just don't be me. It's kind of what we learn on the mailbag. Joe says he won't join a fantasy league that a coworker runs.

I don't agree with that. No, I'm in plenty of leaves my coworkers. Don't make it for a lot of money. Chargers, because you don't want to get... Most leagues play out fine, Adam. There's, this is like, like, I'm in a lot of big money leagues and there's no issues. I got a question for you. So I'm in a league with a coworker, former coworker who runs the league.

And the entry fee is $50. And he pays $10 a week to the highest score. Okay. So he owed me for two weeks. I had one, I'd been the highest score two weeks in a row. So I was like, yo, you owe me $20. He paid me $19. Yeah.

Just to be like kind of a jerk. He paid me $19. I don't get it. Is this the guy who says in my league? No, it's the guy who used to pitch for the Gators. Oh, that's funny. I don't really understand this. I don't know.

He just decided to withhold the dollar from me. Why did you ask for the money mid-season? You get paid every week, the highest score. Oh, he doesn't pay out at the end of the year. Like other people are getting paid? Correct. So, man, I don't know what to do about that. Not cool.

Last question here, chargers or Browns? DST. Chargers. Chargers. Kiddle. The Chargers this week is amazing. Kiddle or Tyler Warren? PPR. Kiddle, for sure.

Kiddle. All right, everybody. Have a great weekend. Thank you all so much. And thanks for voting for us. Really appreciate that. Thank you. For hanging out with us on Thanksgiving week.

Oh, Adam, is Gremlin's a Christmas movie? I haven't seen Gremlins in 20 years. No, 30 years. I've never seen Gremlins. don't let gremlin sucks i watched 10 minutes of it you don't need to watch gremlins how have you not seen rocky this bothers me yeah you know it's true like i've never seen rocky i've never seen a lot of great movies i never saw um what's that movie ever or uh terminator never saw terminator which i'm sure i'd love because that's actually like sci-fi which i actually enjoy like

but i've seen a lot of like movies like eternal sunshine and spotless mind like seven like these types of movies like great movie like i like different i don't like action movies really so I'm not like an action fan at all I find it kind of boring as weird as that sounds I want like plot I want twists I want drama like I want stuff like that in my movies you'll you'll probably enjoy

Rocky one more so than the other ones then I just don't think like I don't know when I would watch Rock that's the problem like oh I have an idea how about right now right now I'm gonna actually go play some tennis on my brother after this right after that watch Rocky please no like I've recommended I have recommended so many good movies

you, you'd never watch them. Because I watch TV shows. I just watched the whole Twin Peak series. Just stop. Watch Rocky. Like, be part of America. Be an American. Watch Rocky.

And is it Rocky, don't they fight on Thanksgiving? Or is it Christmas? One of them is like, what do I do if I watch Rocky? As a Giants fan and someone who grew up in this area, like, I have a pure hatred for Philly in all things Philly. Who do I root for in that movie? You don't have to. Oh, and Rocky, too, they fight on Thanksgiving.

You don't have to be in, you know, they don't talk about the Eagles, okay? Like, it's fine. You'll be fine. He just said an interview, by the way, that, uh, they filmed the step scene. Yeah. Um, you see this? I saw something on Facebook that they just did in one take and they were worried about the cops or something.

Yeah. Pretty cool. All right. Let's, uh, let's head out. Enjoy your weekend. Everybody will talk to you Sunday morning and then we got the live stream 11 a.m. to 2.0.1 p. See you. Paramount Podcasts.
