This is Fantasy Football Today from CBS Sports.
What a play!
Can you believe this?
I know I can.
It's time to dominate your fantasy league.
This is going to go the distance.
Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.
Welcome to your mailbag episode, everybody.
It's fantasy playoff time, and you might not have Tyreek Hill.
He is not practicing on Friday.
Friday afternoon for us, if you're listening to the podcast, it is Saturday.
So hope you're having a great weekend so far.
Hope you had an awesome Friday night.
And we'll get to some news items.
Hopefully more will trickle through as we get into the show.
We got the fantasy cops joining us today.
Apple podcast questions, YouTube comments,
your emails at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com.
And the most important part of the show,
I don't know how he feels about it.
I don't know the review yet.
We're going to be surprised.
He watched Christmas Vacation and Dan Schneier.
You got a nice review ready to go?
You know what, Adam?
I thought about this and I thought about your decision
to give me homework assignment on a podcast here, a podcast here. And afterwards I said to myself,
you know what, if I see that Adam Azer again, I'm going to look him straight in the eye and I'm
going to tell him what a cheap lying, no good rotten for flushing, low life, snake looking
dirt eating inbred overstuffed, ignorant, blood sucking, dog kissing, brainless, hopeless,
heartless, bug eyedeyed stiff-legged spotty
lipped worm-headed sack of hallelujah where is my talent so you read it you read a quote
you didn't watch the movie you just read a quote no i did watch the movie he watched it he watched
the whole thing well i have a review on it i have a detailed review good i have a turning point in
the movie for me oh okay yes uh. And I have a favorite quote.
It wasn't that one that I just read off.
All right, all right.
We're looking forward to that.
And melkalikimaha to everybody out there as well.
All right, so let's go to our news and notes here.
Tyreek Hill not practicing.
Jamie, they'll decide on Sunday if he is going to play.
And give me your 30-second review of what this might mean.
I mean, obviously, if he does not play, it's a disaster for a lot of things. For fantasy managers, for the Dolphins, for Tua Tunga-Vailoa, fire up the Jets DST.
It's bad.
I still expect him to play at this point, though.
I mean, based on what the comments from Mike McDaniel were and what Tyreek know, the Twitch stream that he was on the other
day.
Like, it sounds like he's just managing the pain.
And I guess if he's OK, they're going to let him play.
And so, look, I hope that's the case.
It's more hope, I think, than anything else at this point.
And if he plays, you're starting him.
So just continue to wait and hopefully get some news.
You know, we've seen players this season, receivers in particular, go without practicing
all week and still play.
And hopefully that'll be the case for Tyreek too.
Demario Douglas is going to play
for the Patriots against the Chiefs.
Brian Robinson still not practicing.
We have been expecting him to miss this
game all week, so not a surprise
there at the Rams.
Aaron Rodgers, according to Robert
Sala, looks normal in practice.
It would be a surprise if he comes back,
but they are at Washington next week or home against Washington,
whatever it is next week.
Brandon Staley and GM Tom Telesco for the Chargers.
They were fired.
We just saw this just before we got on the show.
No way.
I know.
I know.
Yeah.
I thought it was going to happen during our earlier episode on Friday,
but just before our noon one.
So, yeah. You know, again, I never celebrate our noon one. So, yeah.
You know, again, I never celebrate people getting
fired. It sucks, but
I don't think it's any surprise.
And Chris Godwin did make it back
to practice. Will he
crack the top 30, Jamie? Chris Godwin,
if he plays. We've had
him ranked all along, and he's not in the top 30.
Okay.
Then let's tell you about our live stream on Sunday morning,
youtube.com slash fantasyfootballtoday.
All of us are on it.
Dan's the only one who's not doing any work on Sunday morning.
So I don't know.
I'm sure he's doing something.
Anyway, youtube.com slash fantasyfootballtoday.
We'll see you at 1130 a.m. live answering all of your questions.
First from Apple Podcast.
From TylerIsPrettyGreat34,
thanks for carrying me
to eight of 11 fantasy playoffs.
All right.
Nice work.
Let's go.
You were heavy.
Start two in half PPR.
One of them has to be a running back.
Jerome Ford, Clyde.
Let's do the running back first. Jerome Ford, Clyde, Aaron Jones. Pick a running back jerome ford clyde let's do the running back first jerome ford clyde aaron jones
pick a running back um do we know if aaron jones is playing no we don't know for sure
no i'm gonna go forward yeah i i think ford the safer play. I do feel like if we have another week of Pacheco missing,
which I think is very likely right now,
Clyde Edwards-Hilaire is going to fall into a touchdown
in that matchup against the Patriots.
I think they'll score a few touchdowns there
and have a huge lead.
But I'll go with forward. It's a safer play.
Okay, and then we need a flex out of Clyde, Njoku, Higgins, Aaron Jones, and Noah Brown.
Jones.
If he plays Jones, yeah.
If not, I'll go with...
Njoku if he doesn't.
I'll go with Higgins if he doesn't.
And for those of you wondering what Dan will be doing Sunday, I do think Robert P in our chat nailed it.
He says,
Dan will be five putting on Sunday.
No,
no golf on Sunday.
It's 40 degrees outside.
Yeah,
no,
that's today.
He'll be five.
Yeah.
What'd you say today?
You'll be five putting.
Yeah.
From Seth.
Hey,
Shannon,
John and Phillip.
Okay.
No, why would anyone? Oh, Shannon, John, and Phillip. Okay. No.
Why would anyone?
Oh, Shannon, Sharp.
Nope.
No.
Yeah.
Okay, good.
Oh, that's right.
And John Elway.
No.
Phillip, Lindsey.
None of this makes sense.
Who's the Phillip?
I don't know.
All right.
Two wide receivers.
Chase, Puka, DJ Moore, and Christian.
It won't be Watson.
Chase, Puka, DJ Moore.
Needs two?
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
I'm sitting Chase.
I don't love DJ Moore against Cleveland,
but I think given the state of their defense and some injuries,
I'm okay with that.
So Chase is probably the guy I would sit to,
which is crazy to say.
Do you know what his two games,
aside from the Jaguars game,
so the two games with Browning that he didn't play well,
he's got 10 targets and seven catches from it.
Yeah.
Chase.
Yeah.
Denzel Ward has was limited on Thursday.
I don't think I mentioned that he didn't practice Wednesday, but Denzel Ward was limited on. Oh I don't think I mentioned that.
He didn't practice Wednesday, but Denzel Ward was limited on.
Oh, no, he did.
He's been limited.
It was with me.
Yeah, limited all week.
All right, back to the questions here.
Seven catches and ten targets in the other two games.
Fields, Lawrence, or Stafford from Wake Up?
Stafford.
Well, Stafford is the start of the week.
Let's go Stafford.
From JMAC in Kansas City, Waddle or Addison, PPR?
Waddle for sure.
If Tyreek Hill's out, that's for sure.
I would do it either way, though.
I would do Waddle also, but I wonder if Waddle's worse without Tyreek there
because that means he may see more of sauce.
Yeah, I don't think anyone cares, but for what it's worth,
his target per out run rate did not change at all in week 14
when Tyreek Hill was out.
Very small sample size, but didn't change.
Kelsey or McBride?
Can't even believe this is a question.
Kelsey.
Kelsey.
This is one of those situations.
First off, McBride's got a tough matchup.
So if it was a slam dunk easy matchup for McBride,
then I think it's a little closer. But this is one of those situations we First off, McBride's got a tough matchup. So if it was a slam dunk easy matchup for McBride, then I think it's a little closer.
But this is one of those
situations we talked about a little bit on the Friday morning
show of
do you trust the
player or do you trust the matchup?
In this case, I don't think there's enough
of a difference to say I'm trusting the player.
It doesn't match up.
I'm just not going to have my fantasy playoffs
decided by me benching Travis Kelsey.
The thing is, Kelsey's been better than
McBride.
He's been bad for Kelsey, but he's still the number one
tight end.
McBride
in his stretch of breakout
performances has been better than Kelsey.
Are you sure? I don't know.
I also feel like unless
the Chiefs office is completely
zach urts's injury mcbride has been better than kelsey
certainly bpr i don't take out the clayton tune game yeah all right and then but so but this is
the other thing though like you just said um dan and i agree with you because i said the same thing
like you don't want to have travis kelsey on your said the same thing. You don't want to have Travis Kelsey on your bench in the fantasy playoffs.
You don't want to have Jamar Chase on your bench in the fantasy playoffs also.
So there are situations where you might have better players.
I just don't think in this case, if McBride was playing Cincinnati,
to me, okay, I'm benching Travis Kelsey.
No, I wouldn't do that.
I don't think no matter what, I could bench him personally.
He's going to be tight at one every week.
I haven't seen, I know I could bench him. He's going to be, he's going to be tied every week. I haven't seen like,
I know that,
you know,
it's historically a good defense,
but to me,
from what I've seen,
the Patriots defense is not at the same level.
It has been in the past and they have a lot of injuries.
This should be a get right game for the chiefs offense.
If they don't get right,
it's,
they might just be officially broken for who?
I don't,
I don't agree with this take here.
The Patriots.
I don't think the Patriots defense has looked that good to me when I've seen them against the giant.
They just,
they have their,
their,
they're playing a little bit better lately and they shut down the chargers.
They gave them 10 points to the giants or something.
No,
they give a lot of points,
but just didn't look like the same historically.
They're not,
they're not historically great,
but they are,
and they are a good defense defense.
Okay.
We'll see. I mean, I think this, to
me, you're the Chiefs. You're going to have a ton of
possessions in this game. You really should be
cashing in on three or four offensive touchdowns.
They should.
If they're the Chiefs, like if they have
any chance of getting back to that. Have you watched them this
year? No, I know. I know. I know.
Start three.
It's the same guy from JMAC. Gibbs,
Kamara, Kyron Williams, and Zeke. You have to sit one. Gibbs, Kamara, Kyron Williams, and Zeke.
You have to sit one.
Gibbs, Kamara, Kyron Williams, Zeke.
PPR.
I'm sitting Zeke.
I'm definitely not sitting Kamara, so it's Gibbs or Zeke.
I'll keep Gibbs.
I have ranked higher, so I'll keep Gibbs.
And JMAC thinks that the Chiefs are still going to win it this year.
I think it's possible.
Anytime you have Mahomes, I wouldn't count you out.
I'll probably place
a little wager on him.
Okay.
From Pierce Pierce.
My wife and I listen to the show
making dinner every night.
All right.
Cool.
Half PPR.
Two running backs.
Bacon burgers?
Yeah, I don't think
they're bacon burgers.
Two running backs.
A-Chan,
Gibbs,
Kyron, Pollard.
Pick two.
Gibbs and Pollard.
And sitting Kyron?
Sitting Kyron?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I thought you said it was... A-Chan, Gibbs, Kyron, Pollard.
Oh.
I can't sit Kyron.
Yeah, it's Kyron for sure.
I'll go Gibbs.
It's either Gibbs or Pollard for me, but I'll go Gibbs.
Evans, Iyuk, or DJ Moore?
Pick two.
I'm sitting Iyuk.
Yeah.
I'll play Iyuk.
No, no matter what, I would sit Iyuk.
I was going to say if Denzel Ward. And then we need a flex. He's going to play Iyuk. No, no matter what I would say to Iyuk. I was going to say if Denzel Ward.
And then we need a flex.
He's going to play, I think.
A flex.
Iyuk.
Pollard.
Eight Pollard.
Yeah, definitely.
Cool.
And Fields or Stroud at quarterback.
Stroud's probably not going to play.
Fields either way.
Fields either way.
That's it.
That's all we have for the Apple Podcast questions.
I recommend.
It's a good way to get your question read.
So please keep leaving us five-star reviews.
Try to get them in,
I'd say by Tuesday.
They do take a while
to populate.
Snow,
it's got breaking news.
Stroud,
Nico Collins,
and Will Anderson
all not practicing today.
So you can pretty much
rule them out.
All right.
Let's hear it.
Christmas vacation.
A man in his 30s had never seen it somehow.
Apparently his cable goes out every year in the month of December.
But he'd finally watched Christmas Vacation.
And what'd you think?
It was excellent.
It was a great movie.
I'll say this.
I'll say this.
It had a turning point for me.
So it had moments in the first half of the movie.
And I paused it when this turning point started happening. It was moments in the first half of the and i and i paused it
when this turning point started happening it was like a hilarious five to ten minutes of movie
and i was like all right let me see where this was at in the movie and then it continued for
the rest of the way so that was good but first half the movie had some moments um was a little
slow to me and kind of like 80s 80s ish i like the scene where he's in the department store and
he's flirting with that girl. And his son comes up.
Well, that's funny.
That was funny.
That was fun.
I mean, my favorite quote of the movie was in the first half of the movie when I can't really say the quote.
But when his brother was at his brother was at his wife's brother, the idiot guy.
Eddie?
Eddie, yeah.
It's his wife's.
It's his brother-in-law.
It's not his brother, is it?
His cousin.
It's his cousin. Yeah, it's his cousin. It's his uncle, right? I guess. It's his brother-in-law. It's not his brother, is it? It's his cousin. It's his cousin, yeah.
It's his uncle, right?
It's his cousin, Eddie.
Yeah, cousin Eddie.
Okay, so it's his cousin when he's just outside just dumping waste into the sewage.
And Elaine, or not Elaine, you know, what's her name?
Julie Dreyfus and the other dude over there in the house next door
come out and they just look at him and he just looks at him back and he goes i don't want to say the word on
the air but the blank was the blank was full it's such a everybody loves that lie that's such a great
life so funny i was cracking up um and then the turning point for me in the movie when it just
got into absolute hilarity was when they finally sit down for the christmas dinner and the and
eddie's wife it's like yeah i made the turkey the Christmas dinner and the, and Eddie's wife is like,
yeah,
I made the Turkey and they open up the Turkey.
And then there's like that scene of like Clark and the rest of them trying
to eat the Turkey.
He's like chewing on it as hard as he can.
And so that whole scene,
imagine you missed out on this your entire life.
Yeah.
I don't know.
And then after that,
it was just hilarious,
hilarious movie the rest of the way.
I mean, just so many funny moments. Yeah. Eddie is really, Yeah, I don't know. And then after that, it was just a hilarious movie the rest of the way.
I mean, just so many funny moments.
Yeah, Eddie is really... It's definitely somewhere between two through five behind Die Hard in Christmas movies.
Yeah, yeah, whatever.
But it's got to be number one.
I mean, it's so good.
Home Alone?
Well...
It can't be better than Home Alone.
I've seen Home Alone a bunch.
It's funnier.
It's funnier than Home Alone, but Home Alone is an epic movie.
If they were both on TV, which one would you watch?
Home Alone for me.
Christmas Vacation.
Zach, can we get a YouTube poll?
If they were both on TV, which would you watch, Christmas Vacation or Home Alone?
I don't know.
I think I'd watch Christmas Vacation.
I love the opening theme song. Actually,'s the it's the closing theme song the christmas vacation song okay just like that
song brings joy to my heart just to hear it you know it's you know what that dan have you seen
any of the other national lampers what are they name them probably not vacation no start with
that one go watch that one okay vacation's funny yeah
don't watch european vacation and you can watch uh loaded weapon is actually not not that bad
believe it or not it's a my whole life too i had no idea when i would see people with that like
black hawks jersey that says griswold on the back i just never knew what that was or what that meant
or what that was in reference to when i was living out midwest when i was in wisconsin now now i know
exactly what that is all right we got the was living out in the Midwest when I was in Wisconsin. Now I know exactly what that is.
All right, we got the fantasy.
We were having this conversation on the show today.
Have you seen Baywatch ever?
Me? No. No shot.
How could I have ever seen that?
They don't play reruns of that, do they?
No. I doubt it was a good show.
I never saw any of those.
Is that a good show?
It's an amazing show.
I'm sure it was a very well-read show. It's well, yeah, very, very good.
I'm sure it was a very well-read show.
It's an amazing show, says Jamie Iceberg, the man who took me to Twin Peaks when I visited when I visited Fort Lauderdale.
All right. We're getting into dangerous territory here.
We're going to take a break.
When we come back, we'll have the fantasy cops on fantasy football today.
The fantasy cops are back, everybody.
We're here to settle your league disputes.
And yes, your Jared Goff fumble stat correction league dispute as well.
That definitely was jarring for a lot of people, I know.
A lot of people were pissed at that.
All right, the first one is from sherm dear pembleton holt chaplain and thoreau justin's no i don't know justin thoreau i was thinking of yeah you know who that is yeah yeah
i know that is i have no idea who is it It's the actor guy. Yeah, from what?
From Leftovers.
From Leftovers.
It's from Leftovers.
You watched that. Yeah, yeah.
All right.
I don't know if this requires the fantasy cops
or maybe the fantasy moral police.
Okay.
So anyone but Dave, he says.
My Empire Dynasty League uses divisions
for some stupid reason
and playoffs get seeded
where you only play your division
for the first two rounds.
I am the defending champ.
I finished first this year.
My division also includes the second and third best teams in both record and
points for,
but the commissioner has not manually receded the playoffs.
So I'm currently in a side of the bracket that features much easier matchups.
Do I tell him or just hope it goes unnoticed and hope to benefit by getting a much easier path
to finally ending this league?
Well, it sounds like you want this league over with to start.
So I would say, don't even say anything.
I gotta be honest with you guys.
I don't know if I would say anything.
I really don't.
I mean, if I was running the league, maybe,
and I noticed it, and I still gave me an advantage,
then I would feel bad because I was running the league and I felt the moral responsibility. I'm just playing it. This guy's just playing running the league, maybe, and I noticed it, and I still gave me an advantage, then I would feel bad
because I was running the league and I felt the moral responsibility.
I'm just playing it.
This guy's just playing in the league, though.
He wants it over with anyway.
Don't say anything.
Let it roll.
Why does he want it over with?
I don't know.
It's an empire league, so he wants to win it twice.
Oh, yeah.
You know what that is, Jamie?
It's an empire or vampire?
Empire, empire.
No, I don't.
Oh, so correct me if I'm wrong, Adam,
but in those leagues, a certain percentage of the pot every year
goes to something called the empire pot.
And that's if you win two years in a row, you get it, Adam.
Is that what it is?
Yeah, yeah.
The pot keeps growing until someone wins it two years in a row,
and then they take it over.
And then they take all of it.
They take all of it, yeah.
I mean, they win something if they win it once.
No, they win the whole pot, I think.
No, if they win it once, they win something. But if they once. No, they win the whole pot, I think. If they win it once, they win something.
If they win it twice, they get the whole pot.
You get rewarded for winning, but
if you win it twice, then you
get everything.
It's like a bad beat jackpot.
I should mention there are two other co-commissioners.
Is it even my fault if it
goes unnoticed, or do I mention it and hope for good
fantasy football karma?
Oh.
I think you mentioned it.
You mentioned it right away.
When the right way.
I like that.
Yeah. I'd say mention it.
I think you just got a glimpse of the moral compass of Jamie,
me and Dan.
And you know,
it's just very different there.
All right.
This one,
I'm actually going to get this one from Chris.
Dear Wayne, Gordy, Bobby, and Mario.
Hows? Hockey players?
I don't think they're all Hows.
But they're all hockey players.
They're all great hockey players.
You know, the great one, Wayne Howe.
They're all Canadian hockey players.
Well, they're all just great hockey players.
They're like the best hockey players ever.
Yeah. You know, the best hockey players ever. Yeah.
You know, the Penguins superstar Mario Howe,
if you recall.
Our league's regular season standings
finished extremely close.
There were four 7-7 teams competing for the last spot.
In the end, the sixth-placed team
edged seventh place by.6 points,
with points being the tiebreaker.
But on Wednesday night,
there was word
that the NFL
made a stat correction
giving Jared Goff
a fumble
that was originally
not given to him.
The Goff manager
is the sixth place team
who narrowly edged out
the seventh place team.
This fumble loss
would deduct two points
and send the seventh place team
into the playoffs.
But the seventh-place team also happens to be the commissioner.
He found out Thursday morning,
and due to time constraints of the first NFL games happening Thursday night,
he made the manual stat correction,
and he is now in the playoffs.
The seventh-place manager woke up Thursday morning
to find out he was ousted from the playoffs,
or the guy who was sixth and now is seventh.
Was this the right decision by the commissioner? Put himself in the
playoffs due to the stat correction?
Yes. Why wouldn't it be? Why wouldn't it be?
Because he had to do it manually, I guess.
It didn't automatically happen. So what?
That's on the site. That's not on him.
Yeah. This is part of what stat corrections are.
It's a bad, it's a bad business.
I mean, one thing you can do to fix all this in my mind,
I still believe in is Apex. I really do believe in Apex do to fix all this in my mind, I still believe in is apex.
I really do believe in apex scoring.
I've been now this year,
I was in like 50% leagues apex.
I don't know how many of those leagues you guys are in,
but it makes a big difference in my opinion.
It's a much more,
it's,
it makes a standings at the end of the season,
much more reflective of the actual best teams.
Yeah,
that's a good point.
So you,
did you explain what apex is or so apex scoring is the following. There's CBS offers something similar, which is you play two matchups, but I like that a good point. So did you explain what Apex is? So Apex scoring is the following.
CBS offers something similar, which is you play two matchups,
but I like that a little less.
What I like the best is Apex, which hopefully we'll have coming soon,
and that's where you play one matchup against your scheduled opponent,
and then the top six teams get a win, and the bottom six teams get a loss.
So say you're the second most scoring points of the week,
but you played the most scoring points of the week.
Instead of going 0-1, you go 1-1. And if you have the second fewest points scored, but you played the most scoring points of the week. Instead of going 0-1, you go 1-1. And if you have
the second fewest points scored, but you played
the fewest points scored team, instead of going 1-0,
you go 1-1. So it's
a lot more even at the end of the year when it all totals
up. I started one of them illegal lineups y'all been talking about when I kept Dallas Goddard in an IR spot.
It was an intentional move
and karma got me and I
ended up missing the playoffs.
My question is, should I continue
to keep Goddard in my IR spot for the
remainder of the season? Totally out of it.
Not playing for anything. Or should I drop him
to waivers where he technically should have been in the first
place, which would benefit
some other team's roster that's already in the playoffs?
What do you think?
No, your roster should be locked.
So, yeah, even though you have an illegal lineup, so be it.
Yeah, I don't like unlocking teams who aren't in the playoffs.
That leads to so much chaos.
OK, last one, then.
This is from Daniel.
10 team PPR league.
We do not allow trades between non-playoff teams and playoff teams.
On Sunday night of week 14 at 11 p.m.,
the number two team traded Kyler Murray and Cortland Sutton for Patrick Mahomes.
All the players had played in week 14, I guess, on his team and the other team.
The team giving Mahomes was eliminated from the playoffs
in week 14 and the trade
processes for week
15. I called out the
trade, but the commissioner, who
has been caught cheating, he says,
allowed the trade because
quote, Murray is the better
fantasy quarterback and the trade looks
fair. Can you please judge
the fact that trades made after games have been played
are pushed until the next week,
and this manager was eliminated from the playoffs in week 14?
The waivers ran in week 15.
The trade was processed.
The trade should be reversed.
Am I wrong?
If you still allow trades to happen, then no, you should not reverse it.
I think...
But the guy had been eliminated from the playoffs at that point. But not when he made the trade. happen, then no, you should not reverse it. I think... I thought, but...
But the guy had been eliminated from the playoffs
at that point. But not when he made the trade.
Yes, when he made the trade.
Everything had been said. He had already lost.
Technically, it didn't show up in his record yet,
but he had already lost. He had been eliminated
from the... I don't know if he lost, but he had been eliminated
from the playoffs as of that week.
The trade was made for
week 15. I do was made for week 15.
I do think I would,
I would overturn this.
I would overturn this.
I think he's trying to get off on a technicality that he technically made the trade in week 14,
even though by all intents and purposes,
we core team was over for him and for this playoff run.
But we buried the lead on this one.
This guy is playing in a league where the commissioner of the league has
already been caught cheating.
And they're still just playing this through
and acting like nothing happened.
Who's playing?
Find a new league.
Get the guys together and be like,
we can play in a league without a cheater here.
You don't just get to cheat, get caught,
and just roll on as if nothing happened.
Jamie, are you cool with our decision
to overturn the trade?
Yeah.
All right.
Thank you, everybody, for your Fantasy Cop submissions.
How about your emails?
FantasyFootball at CBSi.com.
Got a lot of emails this week. That's good.
Means people are in the playoffs. Appreciate that.
James Conner or Ty Chandler from Matthew.
James Conner or Ty Chandler, PPR.
Full PPR.
Give me Chandler.
Exactly. From Raymond.in eckler startable as a little
play on chandler bing of course yeah why else would i say i don't know but it wasn't great
it was pretty good was it jamie i mean we had enough friends references today it's true
jamie made the raunchiest Friends reference.
What was it?
Seven.
You can't repeat it?
Seven or six?
Seven.
Seven.
You don't watch Friends.
You don't even know.
Dave said nobody wants to have seven,
and I said except Monica.
Yeah.
All right, Raymond wants to know
if Austin Eckler is startable as a flex or if he's
droppable or what Eckler going forward.
He's definitely not droppable.
Let's see who the,
did they name the interim coach yet?
That was a good question.
Cause that will matter.
No,
not yet.
They didn't name him yet.
He's he's no,
don't drop him.
Okay.
Yeah.
I mean, look, teams are never as bad
as they are in their worst moment.
I wouldn't drop him,
but I don't really see too much incentive
for either Eckler or Keenan Allen
to get a lot of touches the rest of the way.
I mean, I said the same thing.
I got killed for it.
I don't know why you got killed for it.
You said it on this mailbag,
and I thought it was a great point.
Who killed you for it?
What? Who killed you for it? I got you got killed for it. You said it on this mailbag, and I thought it was a great point. Who killed you for it? What?
Who killed you for it?
I got a few comments about it.
Oh, from the people?
Oh, no.
Jamie, you're a veteran in this game.
Oh, I'm not concerned about it.
I'm just stating a fact.
You're never going to get full approval from the comments section.
From Dave.
Give me a PPR flex.
Jerry Judy, Romeo Dobbs, Clyde Edwards-Ziller,
Demario Douglas.
PPR.
I might go Douglas. I was going to say Demario
Douglas because PPR. I don't feel great about it, though.
Could be Dobbs.
Between those two for me.
Here's one from David. What are the odds
that Jonathan Taylor returns in week 16
and is productive?
I think
they're decently... I mean, I'll listen to Jamie
on this. I'll defer to Jamie after this, but I feel like
they're decently high because the Colts are in the mix for the playoffs.
So I don't see why anyone would
think they wouldn't. I think this week
Steichen said he expects him to play again this year.
So this is game three.
If he does not play next week,
they would have made a mistake to not put him on IR
because that would have been four games.
So I would assume, based on the fact
that they didn't put him on IR,
that he is going to play next week if he's able to.
So next week would be in line for him to return.
If not, they made a mistake.
That's a fair assumption.
Yeah, and it's a thumb injury,
for those of you who don't remember.
So it's not like he's going to be playing
through an ankle injury or anything like that.
This is from John.
Who would you start at flex and PPR?
Javante Williams, Jerome Ford,
Antonio Gibson, or Marquise Brown?
Jerome Ford. I think it may be Gibson, if Brian Robinson doesn't play, or Marquise Brown? Jerome Forkman.
I think it may be Gibson
if Brian Robinson doesn't play,
but it's probably a little too aggressive.
Ford is the safer play.
I think I saw that the Browns center,
Ethan Posick, is out this week.
Yeah, he's out.
That is a beat-up line.
Man.
They've got to have backups
at least three spots at this point, right?
They lost both their tackles. Now their center's out. I don't know if that matters. I mean, Ford's got to have backups at at least three spots at this point, right? They lost both their tackles.
Now their center's out.
I don't know if that matters.
I mean, Ford's going to find a way to get 11 points.
Right.
All right, from Chris.
Dear Craig, Al, Carson, and Hoda.
Are they all on the Today Show, right?
Good morning, Today Show, whatever it is, yeah. I don't know if they are. Is Carson Daly on today's show? Good morning. Today's show, whatever it is.
Yeah.
I don't know if they are just Carson daily on that.
I think he was.
Okay.
I don't watch those shows.
Carson daily and Fred Durst.
Don't finish nothing.
I was just,
anytime I hear Carson daily,
I just think of that line,
but don't finish that line.
What is the line?
What's it from?
Don't worry about it.
Sit next to Carson daily and Fred Durst,
but we can't go any further with that line.
Okay.
Okay.
You don't know that?
What, that's from?
No.
Oh, man.
The Real Slim Shady?
You never heard that song?
Oh, yeah.
I know that song.
You wouldn't be surprised to know that I'm not a big Eminem fan.
No?
No.
Because he's too, why?
Too many curses?
Or just too much horrorcore?
I don't really like, I don't really like rap.
I mean.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I just don't like.
Well, maybe as a kid you had a phase.
Most, most white Jewish adolescents have,
Jewish adolescents have a phase of rap in their life.
At least the ones that are millennials.
No, not me.
I had a, I had a big, I mean, I wouldn't call it a phase,
but a Landis Morris set.
That was like one of the first albums.
That's where you went with it.
That was one of the first albums that I, that I never't call it a phase, but Atlantis Morissette, that was like one of the first albums. That's where you went with it. That was one of the first albums that I never stopped listening to every day.
Wow.
Yeah, Jagged Little Pill.
All the time, great.
You're showing maturity at a young age,
but I don't think that's anything to brag about.
That was seventh grade for me.
Everyone was listening to that album every day.
No one was ripping Atlantis Morissette in seventh grade.
I guess maybe in your...
When I was in seventh grade, it came out...
Not even that much older than me.
Wow, things...
Can I just say things change so fast for society
and probably in the worst way
that we were listening to Alanis Morissette
just a few years ago in seventh grade,
and then when I got to seventh grade,
it was like, I'm Slim Shady,
I'm the real Shady.
No, I mean, like, rock was still really good
when you were in seventh grade, I'm sure. But I'm sure there was a lot of rap that was popular then. But seventh grade, I mean, like rock was still really good when you were in seventh grade,
I'm sure.
But I,
I'm sure there was a lot of rap that was popular then,
but seventh grade,
I think,
I think for a lot of people is when you start to get into music a little
bit more like real music.
I agree with that take.
I never cared about music until seventh grade.
Atlantis was a big one for me.
And then Everclear had an album that I fell in love with so much for the
afterglow,
but everyone loved Atlantis. That was like, it swept our school much for the afterglow. But everyone loved Alanis.
It swept our school.
She is great, yeah.
Yeah, that was great.
One of the best albums ever.
Is that what you warmed up to as the backup goalie?
Did I be ironic?
No, I did not.
I was in high school.
Were you the backup goalie for soccer or hockey?
I forgot which one it was.
Soccer.
One year senior year.
What does a backup goalie do?
Yeah, not much.
During practice and stuff. You're just hanging around. During practice was the best part. That year. What does a backup goalie do? Not much. During practice and stuff.
You're just hanging around. During practice was
the best part. That was the only time I got to play.
What did you... Oh, they had
rotated in the goalie? What was the point of getting
you reps? We'd scrimmage and I would be the
goalie on one side. Oh, on one side. Okay.
Gotcha. I got you. Yeah, it was great. I get to punt
and everything. Yeah. Okay. So you
touch the ball in practice. Okay. And then during the game, you just
kind of sidelines it. Any injuries to the starter at any point or no i've told this before
but he never got hurt first of all he was great he played i don't know if he i don't think he
played college but he could have he was terrific and our team you would have started if it wasn't
for just having a great guy our team was outstanding like i was not deserving of being
the goalie on that team but um he had this thing where he would come out
and he would get a penalty.
He would be aggressive in the box
and he would get a penalty
and he would give them a penalty shot,
a penalty kick.
Sorry, you can tell how big of a soccer fan I am.
And I would have to come in to get scored on
and for one play,
and then he would come in.
Oh, they pulled him out for a play?
Because he'd get a penalty, he'd get a card or something like that. He wasn't allowed to stay in. He'd have to leave for one play, and then he would come in. Oh, they pulled him out for a play? Because he'd get a penalty, he'd get a card or something like that.
He wasn't allowed to stay in.
He'd have to leave for one play.
I'd have to take the PK.
They'd make it, of course, and then I'd leave.
Then you look like an idiot.
So, wow, your goals against four minutes played was terrible.
Adam's stats have to be unbelievably bad.
No, no, because we would blow out teams a lot,
and I would get in in garbage time.
I was the...
That's a garbage time ref.
I was Cooper Rush.
You must be giving up your goal again.
Oh, I think this should be part of your decathlon,
taking shots on goal.
I was not bad.
I was not bad.
He'll have a shot there.
Yeah, and then I remember the first time I got in,
I had no idea how to do it.
But you're saying, Dan,
you're going to beat the high school goalie?
No, I'm saying he'll have a shot there.
Yeah.
I mean, there's never a guarantee when it comes to Adam versus me in anything from an athletic standpoint.
So I'll just say have a shot to be nice.
I mean, that's where he starts.
The bar starts with he has a chance to potentially win.
Yeah.
So this guy in the chat says, I remember the scene from the Mighty Ducks with the goalie tied up.
Oh, yeah.
I couldn't quite do that.
All right, anyway.
You know one of my worst takes
that D3 was a pretty good movie.
D3 is not a good movie.
Not at all.
Pretty good.
And D2 is almost as good as one.
Yeah, that's...
Was that the Olympics one?
Yeah.
It's so stupid.
Yeah, you're so terrible.
It's enjoyable.
All right.
At some point, you'll watch them again.
You'll realize how dumb you are.
But anyway, all right, Chris needs help.
He started Eckler.
Who should he start at flex and half PPR?
Brandon Cooks, Demarcus Robinson, Zay Jones, Jerome Ford, Jalen Warren, or Tajay Spears?
So upside, I would say if you're just desperate,ay jones that's what i was thinking he got 14
targets last week he beat up the ravens last year they're going to be throwing a lot got a red zone
target that he almost converted right but the safer play with maybe 75 of the upside is jerome
ford yeah so i would probably lean forward but you, you know, if you feel like, oh, my God, I'm never going to catch my opponent,
then swing for the fences with Zay Jones.
All right.
Come on, Zay.
From Billy.
Oh, one more question real quick.
Goddard or Taysom Hill?
I'd go Taysom.
Taysom's banged up, so that scares me a little.
But the game script should be good enough, so I'll go get Taysom's banged up, so that scares me a little, but the game script should be good enough,
so I'll go get Taysom Hill as well.
I don't think I gave the stat on the podcast this morning.
The Giants have allowed seven one- to two-yard rushing touchdowns,
which is up there.
It's not the highest in the NFL, but it's up there.
So there you go, Taysom Hill.
All right, this is from Billy.
Oh, Billy!
Right? Cable guy.
Half PPR, need a running back and a tight end.
Antonio Gibson, Kareem Hunt, or Jarek McKinnon?
Gibson.
Gibson.
Isaiah Likely or David Njoku?
I'm actually going with Likely, but I'm a huge Likely guy.
I would go with Njoku. I mean, he's likely, but I'm a huge likely guy. I would go with Njoku.
I mean, he's kind of locked in right now with Wacko.
I do like that rapport,
but I just have a feeling about likely.
I was like, all right,
there's a chance Dan's going to flip his answer
now that Jamie said Njoku.
And he...
Looking at it, I'm sticking with likely.
I feel good about likely.
Good for you.
This is from Andy from a big town in central Florida
that doesn't have food that's as good as big towns in central New Jersey.
Did he actually write that second part?
He did not.
He did not.
But it's just the truth that you can just add to the fact of any statement.
Yeah.
You end at the end.
Tallahassee?
Yeah.
Okay.
You have a lot to learn about Florida.
You honestly just said Tallahassee is in central Florida.
It's in the panhandle, bro.
It's basically in Georgia. How is Tallahassee considered central Central Florida. It's in the panhandle, bro. It's basically in Georgia.
How is Tallahassee considered Central Florida?
No.
All right.
Let me get another guess.
Jacksonville?
Or is that too north?
No, too north.
Okay.
Let me get another guess.
This was the part that doesn't make sense.
If I'm in Fort Lauderdale, it's considered Southern Florida.
Yeah.
South Florida.
South Florida.
Not Southern Florida.
South Florida.
I'm in Jacksonville. It's considered North Florida. Right. If I. South Florida. Not Southern Florida. South Florida. I'm in Jacksonville.
It's considered North Florida.
Right.
If I'm in Tampa, which I like, by the way, best place in Florida, that Tampa area, St.
Petersburg, really nice out there.
By far your best place you guys got going.
That's West.
And so the where the hell is there's not much space.
Where's the central?
What is considered central?
Not much space.
And you wish upon a star.
What do you think?
What's that?
That would be the Disney theme song.
Do you know what?
Oh, Orlando.
Yeah.
Orlando.
I don't think Dan ever leaves his bathroom.
Yeah.
Tallahassee and Central Florida.
You got everything you need.
This is the same guy who called San Francisco, I believe, the Pacific Northwest.
Part of the Pacific Northwest.
Yeah, I stand by that.
It is still part of the Pacific Northwest.
What else would that be considered?
Okay. Do I
start Jake Browning or do I
roster Geno Smith and Drew Locke
and play the Seahawks starter?
Browning.
Oh, Geno, if he plays.
My gosh. But it's Saturday,
right? So it's Browning on Saturday or do you
drop Browning? I don't know if you drop Browning, but
do you do the Seahawks
route or play it safer with Browning? I going safer i would hope we know by saturday what the status
is he'll have the official injury report out um it might not be before the game because that's
the early game but if if you have any chance to play gino i play gino ethan dixon says i bet dan
thinks missouri is in the south and i'll say this ethan yeah bet Dan thinks Missouri is in the South. And I'll say this, Ethan.
Yeah, you're right.
They play in the SEC, don't they?
It's a Southeastern conference.
I know Missouri from the show Ozarks.
That's Missouri, right?
I think it is.
I don't think it's the South.
It reminds me like the Midwest South.
I call that.
It's not really the Midwest, right?
No, Missouri.
I go Wisconsin type people.
What?
You know, Missouri from the show not
from i don't know map jimmy i'm not looking yeah right jimmy's acting like he's over here just
looking at matt he's got a globe in the back of his office just i know tallahassee is not
oh look i can tell you anywhere on a map i got a photograph i've heard of missouri it was in that
show ozark wasn't it yeah yeah that's was amazing. That's where I know it from.
Okay.
I've never been.
Let's see.
You know how great it would be if Tallahassee was in Central Florida?
Like every Florida State sporting event, I would have been there.
Oh, I know.
I still feel like it is in Central Florida, but I'll just believe you guys.
It's in the center part of the panhandle, which is, you know.
Okay.
Okay. But did you know Florida has two time zones?
No, I did not.
Cool.
Let's see.
We got Rudy from California.
Choose one to sit.
Yeah, exactly.
Choose one to sit.
DJ Moore.
You guys are acting like when you drive through the Redwoods
up in Northern California,
it's not the same as when you're down there in los angeles and in san diego you know it's a different area to
me it's like north jersey versus south jersey wait people are from california why don't you
weigh in here san francisco is in northern california and los angeles is in southern
california right yeah they're one end of the state to the other kind of like tallahassee
okay tony montes you said you live in washington the pacific northwest it's nowhere near san in Southern California, right? Yeah. They're at one end of the state to the other, kind of like Tallahassee.
Okay, Tony Montes,
you said you live in Washington,
the Pacific Northwest.
It's nowhere near San Francisco.
I agree with you.
It's multiple states away.
I did the drive down from Washington
through Oregon
and then I ended in San Francisco.
I went through the Redwoods
at the top of California.
If I had gone all the way down
to San Diego,
I feel like there's more similarities
and commonalities
between what I saw in Washington
and then making that drive
down the coast in Oregon and then the redwoods in san francisco and northern california
then there is all the way in washington all the way down then all the way down in southern
california i'm just going to stand by that okay you die that's my take on the west coast
we love it all right here's rudy's question sit Sit one. DJ Moore, Joe Mixon, DeAndre Swift.
What's that look like?
DJ Moore, Joe Mixon, DeAndre Swift, Rasheed Rice.
Sit one.
Swift.
Yeah, you have to sit Swift with that group.
Though Mixon is in the mix, but I'll sit Swift.
From Kenneth, should I start Demarcus Robinson, Dontavian Wicks, Xavier Hutchinson,
Mechie Parker, Hyatt or Slayton?
Wow.
Demarcus Robinson.
Sure.
All right.
Jason Shapiro from Pennsylvania says,
if your sinuses are clogged at night and you have trouble sleeping,
my weird but effective solution
is to put Vicks VapoRub on the balls of your feet.
Put on socks and then go to bed.
A nurse suggested this to me when I was stuffed up.
I tried it that night
and I woke up at 3 a.m. completely clear.
I thought it was so strange,
but my son's pediatrician,
my pharmacist,
and a doctor friend all agreed.
According to Eastern Medicine,
the bottom of the feet
is connected to the sinuses.
P.S.
I'm glad you said balls of your feet.
Yeah.
Yeah, because someone last night,
on Thursday night,
told me to rub onions
on the bottom of my feet.
This is interesting.
I'll do the VapoRub maybe,
but I'm not going to do the onion.
I have to go get Vicks VapoRub.
I may have to do this next time I have science.
I'm very interested in this. This could be great.
The balls of my feet though.
I got to stop saying it, but
where is that?
You don't know where that is?
Not really. Is that
near the heel or
under the toes?
Oh my God. It's below your toes. Yeah, it's okay. Um, all right.
And then this is from Andrew. I a hundred percent thought that was near the heel.
I'm not, I didn't want to admit it now, but I will just admit it now.
I'm still not convinced Jamie knows for sure.
That's why I'm admitting it in case Jamie ends up being wrong.
I would be on the right side of history.
Cause I thought it was by the heels as well. I thought it was just the
bigger area of the foot. Adam giving me medical advice that I could just get from my great aunt
on Facebook. I'm not telling you anything that's dangerous, though. I wouldn't tell you.
Oh, it might be. It might be. He doesn't know. He didn't fact check this.
Yeah. People are disagreeing, by the way way on where the balls of your feet are.
I see.
I knew Jamie might
not be right about
that.
So I think he's
right.
I think I think it's
beneath your toes.
No.
Well, this is so easy
to find out why this
show has gone off the
rails.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's below.
Jamie's right.
OK.
One more question
here from Andrew.
Pick a wide receiver
and a flex. Zay Flowers, Jaden Reed, Sam Laporta, and T question here from Andrew. Pick a wide receiver and a flex.
Zay Flowers, Jaden Reed, Sam Laporta, and Trey McBride.
Just one?
One wide receiver and one flex.
Flowers and Reed stood out to me.
You start Reed over Laporta and McBride?
I'm going to go.
I think they're safer.
I mean, Laporta's got a great matchup.
I'm going Laporta flowers in this one.
Okay.
We'll take a break.
We'll come back with your YouTube comments.
Everybody is... Balls of your feet are what you push up on.
It's under your toes.
Parts that clasp the bike pedals.
Damn.
Okay. All right. We'll be right back with your youtube comments on fantasy football today welcome back folks we are running out of uh
of mailbag shows we have two more i believe so
um you mean this isn't going on the network okay Don has a real
fantasy question for once please don't
ignore me Adam I will over compliment you if needed
yeah it's needed over compliment
I appreciate it let's see what we have
comments right on the show
from
from C Matt
Addison
Higgins Pickens
who are these people?
Gabe Davis, Charlie Brown, Chase Brown.
Yeah.
And Gibson.
We need one of them.
Oh, PPR.
I'm going to go Gibson.
I would too.
If, if obviously if Brian Robinson doesn't, I keep checking to see if there's
injury, but I haven't found anything.
Yeah.
For who?
For Washington.
Oh yeah.
He's not, he didn't practice today.
I already said that at the top of the show.
Bryan Robinson not practicing?
Yeah.
Okay.
Question for Jamie.
This is it.
So Don says, oh, Adam, I have a real question.
Don't ignore me.
And then he says, question for Jamie.
If Tyreek is trending towards out, start two between Godwin, Thielen,
Wandale, Warren, and Chandler PPR?
So if we find out that he's out for sure,
it would be Chandler and Thielen for me.
If we have to wait it out,
then I still might play Chandler
and then just go with one of the other two.
Okay.
Chandler or Javante Williams, half PPR?
Chandler.
Chandler as well.
I want to chase the volume.
Superflex, Bijan Robinson or Will Levis?
Will Levis.
So this suggests that you might be sitting Bijan Robinson?
Like you don't have other options there?
Like that's crazy to me.
So I don't know who your other two running backs are
or regular flex because B. John is a must start.
So obviously you're playing B. John,
but I would try and find a way to get Levis
into your super flex spot
if that's your best remaining quarterback
because I do think he's going to play well against Houston.
Okay.
Browning, Geno, or Flacco?
Well enough that he should be 15 PPR points.
Let's just say.
I'll take the over.
I'm sure you would too,
but I would take the over on that for Bijan over 15.
Totally.
But again, who do you have?
Yeah, it's weird.
Browning, Geno, or Flacco?
Oh, he says his other running backs are
Kyron Williams, McCaffrey, and Alvin Kamara.
So yes, play all four running backs.
Wow, geez.
I have some news for you too, by the way.
But Browning, Gino, or Flacco?
I would say Gino if he starts.
And if you don't know?
Flacco.
Yeah.
Yeah, Brian Robinson.
Yeah, Flacco.
Brian Robinson is out.
Looks like Pacheco's not practicing too.
Kyler or Stafford?
Stafford.
And Jalen Warren, Kareem Hunt, or Aaron Jones if he plays?
Jones if he plays, but Hunt otherwise for me.
I'd go Warren,
but yeah,
Jones is if he plays.
Dan,
you agree with this comment here?
Wow.
You got a fan here,
Adam.
Adam looks like a sexy.
Not a question too.
So,
you know,
he really is,
is a he or she.
Sexy librarian.
Yep.
Gratuitous Adam comments.
Yep.
That's keep them coming.
Yeah.
That's a get right on the show.
If Stroud and Nico are out, would you start the
Titans DST against the Texans
over the Ravens?
I wouldn't.
No, but Titans are a good streamer.
Yeah, it's not as ridiculous
as Dan made it sound to be.
It's not that. I'm just going to bench the Ravens defense
in this spot. Well, here's the thing, though. Again,
if you want to try and get ahead of your league,
the Ravens get the 49ers next week.
You're not playing them.
True.
And this isn't the easiest
of matchups against the Jaguars.
So, not that the Titans
are the one you want to pivot to,
but if you can find the Bills,
if you can find the Packers,
any of these teams
that have great matchups next week.
Much more easier in 10-team leagues,
but still.
Beckham or Jaden Reed?
Beckham for meaden Reed? Beckham
for me. Reed for me.
Olave,
Zeke, or Gibbs?
Gibbs.
Gibbs, Zeke,
Olave, but again, how are you sitting these guys?
That's crazy.
Yeah, that's tough, man. I feel like Olave's
the safest, but maybe not with the ankle
injury. I guess I can't say that.
Yeah.
Gibbs gets the Broncos.
Have we seen that enough?
Well, he gets the Broncos, but he's not the typical running back, right?
So I think I like – I mean, you're going to kill me for saying this.
I think I like Montgomery more than Gibbs.
No, I don't think that's a bad take. And it's funny because like, you know, doing the DFS stuff,
Fandel, I believe, has...
One of them has Montgomery priced higher than Gibbs.
The other has it reversed.
Now, it might be Fandel with half PPR versus Gibbs with full PPR.
That seems logical.
Yeah.
But it was surprising that there is a difference in both.
Gotcha.
Zeke.
No, sorry.
Moss, Brees, Hall, Zay Flowers, or Adam Azer?
Start two, full PPR.
In the I've Got a Plague League, Azer is the best start.
I will start Flowers and Hall.
I'll go same thing, Flowers and Hall.
I don't like malls even though
i know the volume should still be there i don't i haven't been excited about what i've seen so far
with uh lately in this big opportunity adam is the type of guy to remind the teacher we had homework
sit yes he is one and a half pbr connor right yeah no i was uh i was like a cheats gets like
copies someone else's homework type of wow he
just it's cheating on air and now we will use that i'll use that to my advantage at some point for
sure uh man when you know when i was in high school this other high school had an sat cheating
scandal with my sat year my senior year, I guess. Junior or senior?
Yeah, remember those calculators back in the day? Oh, yeah.
They cheated.
They used calculators to cheat a whole bunch of these kids.
It was crazy.
I would never do something like that.
All right, sit one and a half PPR.
Connor, Montgomery, Ken Walker, or Zeke, who are you sitting?
Sitting Connor.
Yep.
Browns, DST, or Zeke? Who are you sitting? Sitting Connor. Yep. Browns DST or Ravens?
I'm still going with Ravens.
I would too.
Matthew Stafford or Lamar Jackson?
Oh, Jamie Stroud is out.
Or Lamar Jackson.
I'd still go Jackson.
Me too.
Schneier's chest looks buff this morning.
Push-ups before the show, Danny boy.
Now this is just a natural look.
All right.
That was the worst thing I maybe ever said on the show.
And there's been a lot of,
Ken Walker or Tyson Chandler or Chuba Hubbard.
Chandler.
Yeah.
It's volumes there.
Just Chandler. Darren Wall volumes there just Chandler
Darren Waller
Tucker Kraft or Kate
Kate Auten
I actually think I'd go Waller
if he plays you can put your
I think if the choice is you can only
roster one of these guys I would rather just
roster Waller and play him there's not much separation
I kind of lean a little bit toward Kraft
but Waller should be just as good.
All right, fair enough.
All right, that's it for me.
I told Dan before the show, Jamie,
I'm going to nap.
I'm going to have such an epic nap
when this show is over.
I'm going to go to the bed.
I usually nap on the couch.
This is going to be a special one.
I'm going to bed.
A special nap.
Why don't you try the Vicks on the balls of your feet?
True. I'll do that tonight if I remember. Because then I have to
leave the house to go buy Vicks VapoRub.
I don't want to do that.
I'll say this, Adam.
As we close the show, we're nearing
nine or ten straight weeks of you
being sick or something weird like that. You need to
go to an actual doctor and get something
checked up on at this point.
I'm starting to worry about you, bud.
No, I'm worried too.
You sound like you are, though.
I'm like, did you do anything about it? You're like, no, not really.
Yeah, I went to the doctor.
I'll throw some Vicks Waker rub on my feet and I think
I'll call it a night. I'm getting better.
I'm almost there.
At least you know, based on Dan's geography,
the feet are at the top of your head.
This is true.
Tallahassee, Central Florida.
Tallahassee, unbelievable.
Do you think Tallahassee is closer to Georgia or Alabama?
I think probably Georgia, right?
It's right under Georgia.
I've never been to Georgia or Alabama.
I've got to get out to those states.
I've been to all of them.
All the southeastern states, buddy.
Okay.
They're great. Okay, talk to you all later. See you Sunday. Bye everybody.
